Parent comment was talking about "quantum mysticism". Which is a set of quasi-religious beliefs that have no justification whatsoever in scientific theories and often misunderstand distort real science a great deal.
Most of the Coursera courses I took gave quizzes that were mainly multiple choice, this limiting the availability of a keystroke-corpus to identify the user.

40 years ago it would be seen as okay to have a middle class family in a 1600-1800 sq. ft. house. Now ostentation requires that it is 4000 sq. ft. with a garage bigger than the childhood home of either homeowner.

That's an odd thing to say, this exact same scenario happened before in the 90s in the exact same place for the exact same reasons.

It's called the dot-com bubble if you're too young to know about it:

There's lots of good books and stories about it if you're into tech and VC stuff.
Tesla knows that fucking people is bad for business. Even when you're #1, it's how you quickly not be #1. Even when you collude with your "competitors" in the #2 and #3 spots to make sure #4 is always very far away, #4 eventually becomes #1 after enough tries (and, usually, after enough #4s).

Tesla most likely will charge something that makes Detroit look bad. A Tesla drivetrain has a fraction of the complexity and parts a gas or diesel vehicle has.

Also, the Model S drivetrain is somewhat the first of it's kind. There have been single speed transmissions made before in cars (in and out of electric vehicles), there have been high torque transmissions made (for vehicles much larger than a Model S), but nothing quite like the unique problem the Model S presents.

The oldest Model Ses are now on their 4th year of warranty. Presumably, most failures so far have been in the first production revision of the product, and given the highly iterative nature of Tesla's product workflow, they have improved the product based on real world feedback.

I don't want to know what the first generation drivetrain failure rate is, as they will be covered under the 8 year/unlimited miles warranty, and replaced with the newest revisions. I want to know what today's drivetrains will look like in 4 to 8 years.

Also, in comparison, most vehicles don't last longer than 8 years. Most people will have put over 100 thousand miles on their vehicle at that point, most vehicles start falling apart just over the 125 thousand miles line, unless you've been very meticulous about babying your vehicle.

Tesla's bet is that massively reducing the number of parts and complexity of said parts will dramatically cut down on failure. This is a long term bet, and early analysis of the first generation of Model Ses only paints half the picture. The whole picture seems to illustrate that Tesla is very good at iterative design, something Detroit does not value as a skill.

Edit: As a side note, I live in Maine. Maybe we're just especially hard on vehicles up here.
> If they sold a car, they get profit immediately. If they kept the car for their own fleet, it would take longer to earn the same profit

Well, no, it would take longer but the profits would be higher, too, so it would still be the smart move to make.
Good grief. If you want to write objective, do so, and ommit personal pronouns all together, but don't employ this archaic, confusing grammatical quirk. I'd like to point out to you, ekke's comment was much better understandable and shorter.

Edit: Did you even read what you linked?

> One explanation given for some uses of they referring to a singular antecedent is notional agreement, when the antecedent is seen as semantically plural

F was definitely singular.

> Distributive constructions apply a single idea to multiple members of a group. They are typically marked in English by words like each, every and any.

That is indeed something I often wondered about, sadly that part is inconclusive.

> Referential and non-referential anaphors

I didn't even try to read. That looks like it should be it's own article.

> On the other hand, when the pronoun they was used to refer to known individuals ("referential antecedents, for which the gender was presumably known", e.g my nurse, that truck driver, a runner I knew), reading was slowed when compared with use of a gendered pronoun consistent with the "stereotypic gender" (e.g. he for a specific truck driver).

You might ommit personal pronouns, as I said, or use 'it' on the object of the sentence using passive verbs.

I've been curious about living out of a camper or RV in the Bay Area just to arbitrage the higher salaries that are needed to offset the cost of housing. I've heard of some Google employees doing this for a couple years to save up enough to buy a house. The hard part is finding a place to park the camper. Anyone have any experience or knowledge about doing this in the Bay Area?

> Big O tells us that a binary search is the most efficient search algorithm for an array (constraint - the array must be sorted), but in practice a linear search with a sentinel value across an unsorted array will be faster if the array fits in cache.

From a cache perspective, a binary search is actually the most pessimal case. If you want efficiency, look at b-trees optimized for memory hierarchies.

Raising capital is not foolish, doing so without reason is.

Nothing wrong with bootstrapping, but unless you and your partners publicly commit to not doing it and promise to leave without any compensation of any kind if you do raise capital - it is what it is to say you'll never do so, and to be honest, it would foolish to do so.
I collect riddles like these! Here are a few of them.

Numbered Hats

A warden places a hat on the head of each of 100 prisoners, each with a random number from 1 to 100. There may be duplicates. Each prisoner can see everybody's hat but their own. Each prisoner then guesses their own number; if any guess correctly, they all go free. The group may not communicate in any way during the trial, but may strategize beforehand. What strategy has the best chance of success?

Colored Hats

A warden lines up a group of 30 prisoners so they can see everybody in front of them and nobody behind them, then places either a red or a blue hat on each of their heads, randomly. He then goes from the back of the line to the front, telling each prisoner to guess the color of their own hat. Each who guesses correctly is freed. The prisoners cannot see the color of their own hat, and cannot communicate with each other, but can hear each others' guesses and can strategize beforehand. What strategy saves the greatest number of prisoners?

Coins on a Chessboard

A warden takes prisoner A into a room containing a chessboard, on each square of which is a coin randomly showing heads or tails. He then indicates a random square on that board. Prisoner A is given the chance to flip one coin (or none), then taken from the room, after which prisoner B is taken into the room and must say which square the warden indicated. The two prisoners may strategize beforehand, but may not communicate during the trial (except with the single coin flip). What should be their strategy?
Where do you find this in the linked document? I could not find any such statement and it would be news to me, but maybe I am mistaken?

Just to add a bit of detail on the OP's note on the FTSE 100 and the pound depreciation: The point is that the FTSE 100 is composed of the largest UK companies, most of which are global corporations with most of their earnings and also a large part of their ownership coming from outside of the UK. So their intrinsic value is not expected to be affected all that much by Brexit. However, the FTSE 100 measures their value in GBP, which has lost about 10% in value after Brexit. So you would expect the FTSE 100 to increase (if nothing else changes, of course).
The article doesn't dwell on it much but those "primitive" 8-bit Commodore 64 machines had the legendary SID sound chip inside of them that put most early PC-compatible sound chips to shame. (As did the Amiga and Macintosh, the Macintosh famously shipping with a digitized speech synthesizer back in 1984.)

Of course for most of that era, the PC was "controlled" by IBM who had zero respect for video games.
I too have wondered at the tiny home thing. Regular single wide mobile homes are small, cheap and standardized, and they even have "communal living" in a park. I'm pretty sure it's just trying to tell bougie people that it's fine to live in a trailer park

Can you link to an example? That seems plainly wrong and I haven't seen an analysis which makes that assumption.

I don't see the "Most Reviews" Sort By option.
The clock is certainly necessary. But for information, I think its as easy as "somebody has blue eyes!" said once. If only one person has blue eyes, they see no one else with blue eyes so kill themselves. If two people have blue eyes, they see the other guy and think "maybe its only him". Next day, that guy is still alive; they now know the only remaining blue-eye is themselves; midnight comes and they both suicide. Then nobody else has to - the two guys died on day 2 so only 2 blue-eyes can exist.
And so on.
A huge number of games used torrents for patching since around that time, notably in the MMO scene. WoW and every Nexon game come to mind. AFAIK the Battle.net launcher still downloads updates via torrent.
Its not a matter of "the final papers" being signed. The process by which negotiations to produce "the final papers" would begin hasn't been started, and there is only loose speculation as to when it would start.

The idea that the negative impact of Brexit would be fully realized while people are still actively discussing why despite the public, but not legally binding, commitments it still might never happen at all, is, well, ludicrous in the extreme.
While this is true, the analysis in part one is really bad and that sort of incorrect hand-wavy line fitting should be discouraged.

Part two is much better and is based on sound principles. The only complaint there is that it's a bit misleading; if you arrange your memory in a sphere, you get access times as the cube root of N for a very long time before you start running into information-theoretical limits based on the area of the memory region.
In Emacs 25 you can write native plugins loaded dynamically at runtime. With this you can do it in OCaml instead of C. Of course you can write it in anything else that will expose the right C interface.

> Those new CAs DANE deployed? They are controlled overwhelmingly by world governments.

As opposed to all the other CAs, which are also controlled by governments. Every CA has some person or group of people who are able to cause certificates to be issued, and that person or people can be compelled to produce certificates at the whim of their government.

> CA certificates themselves are hurtling towards "free", especially now that we have Let's Encrypt

Not that Let's Encrypt's security model is … to trust unsecured DNS. So it's strictly worse than DNSSEC.

> * Major browsers are implementing HPKP and static key pinning, so that once you see a certificate for a pinned domain, your browser remembers and screams bloody murder if it changes unexpectedly. Someone who attempts to get a domain-validated certificate to hijack Google Mail will, in the best case, succeed only in getting the CA dumb enough to do that kicked out of the Chrome and Firefox root trust store.

I think pinning is orthogonal to DNSSEC: one might implement both DNSSEC and it.

> * Google and others are coordinating efforts to monitor certificate issuance, not just using certificate pins but also with initiatives like Certificate Transparency, which involves cooperation from CAs that Google has repeatedly shown willingness to require as a condition of being included in their trust store.

One might, of course, do the same thing with DNSSEC, and then come to understand which nation-states actually do break DNS and which refrain from doing so, rather than spreading FUD about them.
I did read part II, and I think his analogy is off. Memory isn't linearly limited (it happens to be in the processor, but this isn't a given), I don't even understand why he brings circles into his conception of memory. Memory isn't linearly bound to the previous local cache. RAM isn't an order of magnitude larger than the L3 cache, it's MANY of order of magnitude larger! His analogy is just wrong. A better analogy would be library A takes X amount of time to access its books and can store 100 of them, and library B takes 10X amount of time to access its books, but it can store 1,000,000 books!

Yes as we increase in memory size latency goes up, but he never proves that this is sqrt(N) (he correlates that it is). Each jump in up can be explained by cache misses in each successive local cache, but RAM can scale more than a few orders of magnitude beyond the L3 cache. He needed to keep his chart going past 1GB to see that there is actually a plateau to be hit. If he had scaled to 10GB and then to 100GB he would have seen access times be about the same that they were for 1GB.

Maybe, depends on what the overhead is and if you sell that car to yourself at cost or not. Fleets could be an ultra low margin business. You also have to take into account inflation. Also, when companies don't "stick to the knitting," they often don't as well as their core business because an SVP of Tesla marketing has different skills than an SVP of Hertz marketing.

Certainly a higher risk than just selling a car and taking the profits immediately.

It got growing up poor better than many others. To see all the other kids stuffing themselves with candy and to be left out of that society just because of a lack of money - that was such a great visceral scene to watch growing up.

Fortunately, someday sooner, iPhones will become effectively useless to thieves.

As a victim of an iPhone theft - it was literally ripped out of my hand on a very public boulevard - I was grateful to be able to remotely wipe it within hours. I am even more grateful now that it will require a passcode within 12 hours if it doesn't get a touchID, and I really look forward to the day that "wipe and make unable to be re-authorized except by taking it to an Apple store, and also mark this phone as stolen" will be built in to "find my iPhone".

Since the phone hardware will only run software signed by Apple's private key, Apple can make a stolen phone effectively unusable. You need to have a key to put it in recovery mode, and even with signed software the hardware ID won't change, so the only signed code could be code that will check the hardware during the authorization process (I think this is already happening for anti-counterfeiting purposes.)
If this were the only factor, access time would actually grow with the cubic root of N, because you could arrange memory in a sphere, which grows with r^3.

The ultimate theoretical limit is the berkenstein bound, which implies that the information content of a region is bounded by its area, not its volume. This is where r^2 comes from.
Actually, you can calculate the value of an equity packages, since the 1980's we've been able to intelligently price options (see: Black-Scholes) - but it's a matter of being able to wrap a good probability distribution around future outcomes.

I suggest that the current packages are roughly reasonable. If anything, what staffers need to do is understand them a little better.
Also because the housing market is over-inflated and a steep recession seems likely; people are worried because the last recession caused housing prices to drop severely. Also the pound has crashed against the Euro, food prices are already starting to climb, so housing costs are simply not as affordable as they were a few months ago.
Do most people actually have short commutes? I think I've grown so used to commuting an hour + each way doesn't faze me at all. In high school it was 45 mintues on a bus each way. University was bus bus skytrain bus for about an hour and 45 minutes and work now is bus bus train skytrain taking about 80 minutes. Honestly I would rather spend 80 minutes on transit than 45 minutes diving since I can sleep on the train in the morning and I'm usually reading on the way back not to mention the cost of owning a car.
The problem I see with this is latency. Round trip time for a laptop on wifi (this will need a wireless connection to the vehicle) could get up to 200ms at times. At 60mph the car will be 17 feet from where the operator's screen shows it best case. You've also added 1/5 second to all reaction times. A lot of people would die if every driver's reaction time went up by that much.
That's a good call for many situations.

Once you accept cash from someone else, you give up some control and you get a giant ticking clock. Even if you're "successful" by most measures, if you're not successful by their measure, you might as well be dead.

I love Chromecasts and brining Google Cast into Chrome made me quite happy since the integration with Hangouts (you can cast a tab into a hangout if the meeting is part of your Google Calendar) is terrific.

However as someone who helps out with the company's network, they are infuriating:

- They ignore the DHCP given DNS Servers instead using Google's. I'm sure the same is true for NTP though I haven't bothered testing that.

- They use mDNS and DNS-SD but not DNS-SD Wide Area Discovery. This makes subnetting more difficult and increases broadcast traffic quite a bit.

- Not a complaint, more a wish, but a PoE version of the Ethernet adapter would be immensely helpful.

Are the bottom 10% a better statistic? In the UK the bottom 10% pays 43% of the tax burden, many of them do not pay income tax at all.
This is what you get when you have both direct and indirect taxes, income tax in the UK is only 29% of the total Tax Revenue corporate tax revenue is on the other hand only 8%, capital gains taxes are <1% of total tax revenue while things like VAT ~15%, National Insurance at ~19%, Fuel (both gas and heating) and Local taxes at 5% suck the poor, the working, and the middle classes dry.

People always claim Europe this Europe that look at how well they tax the rich, well sorry but they aren't taxing the rich well, and the European taxation system isn't progressive it's regressive.

The majority of the tax revenue in virtually every EU country does not come from progressive taxation, it doesn't come from taxing the rich via capital gains or corporations it's done by taxing nearly every item you buy and every service you use at a flat percent that doesn't cares if you are rich or not.
I get this weird feeling that that is the revenue line of his PR firm and not his after tax income. After tax income of $1.5M is insane. He would be among the CEOs he references, working all the time. A passive income of $1.5M from a service business? He is a greater producer than me, or perhaps almost anyone. If it is true or close though, very impressive.

People shouldn't use git without having configured that. It would prevent incorrect commits landing in public repositories. Actually git defaults to some made-up local git author if it's not set, and that's less useful and sometimes invalid, provoking git-fsck errors.
