The problem with relying on journalists is that when everything is just dumped out there, the decontextualization and misrepresentation comes so fast and furious that it's uphill battle to counter once it's out there. Jonathan Swift puts it better: "Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect."

There's a really good interview in the intercept between Glenn Greenwald and Naomi Klein about this exact issue. [1] Greenwald mentions:

"So [Wikileaks] were very much an ardent and enthusiastic proponent of that model — that when you get tons of information that belongs in the public eye, you have the corresponding responsibility to protect not only people’s physical security but also their privacy. I used to defend them on that all the time. Somewhere along the way, WikiLeaks and Julian decided, and they’ve said this explicitly, that they changed their mind on that question — they no longer believe in redactions or withholding documents of any kind."

"I think WikiLeaks more or less at this point stands alone in believing that these kinds of dumps are ethically — never mind journalistically — just ethically, as a human being, justifiable."

I think the problem is more complex than more cars. If you have more cars but road size stays the same, after a point traffic is slower moving. I imagine the graph to be like a bell curve.

But if you widen roads and make other improvements to accommodate traffic then the graph would be more linear.
That would be great. One problem though: Self-driving tech may offer a very cheap taxi, so many users would prefer not to use shared vans.

Heck, to a certain extent we're already in that scenario, with some sharing services are cheaper than cars(@ridewithvia, @ridechariot, and maybe uber pool and lyft line) - and yet people prefer cars.
Note that WSJ cookies you, so if you've already clicked the direct link, you'll need to incognito, then click on the "web" link to bypass the paywall (and I've heard some say that that doesn't always work, they may track IP addresses as well).
It seems it already does. "Now any browser can act as a server to other browsers, so content can now be delivered even if the main server is completely down, just by getting it from the users who alrelady received it. "
Peanuts was pretty dark even after Snoopy was introduced. Snoopy no more killed Peanuts than comic books killed literature.
You can't do what you want, with a car you buy - even though this does not mean that it will be a lot cheaper :/

I'm more than willing to agree to this concept, if for example, Tesla sends me a new top of the line model 3/s/x every year for around 5k-ish/yr - At that price point, I feel that they can tell me what I can / can't do with "their" car.

However, now, they expect people to pay the full price of the car (anywhere between 31k to almost 150k) and then they get to dictate how I use the car.

Given time, this sort of concept will be applied to everything "we" own. I mean, it's just getting started...

In a few decades, you'd not really own anything - the house you live in, the devices that you use, everything will be a subscription service.

While I look at it as a bleak / weird future, I love SaaS products in general over IaaS products, because it means, I don't have to put effort into stuff. And if that means, I'd never have to fix my car, or my house for example...is that a future the general population will have an issue with?
From Fred Brooks to DevOps: A Brief History of Software Delivery
There are a lot of Model Ss to be found in my area of London. All Right-hand drive.

There is even a showroom selling them + the X in the local shopping centre (mall) and 3 (I think) super-chargers in the car park.

After Model S, most common is the Leaf. (also right-hand drive)
The "half" controller is basically a full super nintendo controller
Two weeks is the blink of an eye as far as politics goes. This is going to be years, if not decades, in the making.
Indeed, that seems pretty authentic.
Goldeneye for me. It would be amazing if this new console could play 'retro' games.
How hard do you think adding sensors to vehicles is to accomplish if the big players decide it's valuable? This is commodity hardware. And if/when they do, they will be gathering far more data that Tesla, by virtue of the massive number of vehicles on the road.

Again, Tesla may very well do it better than anyone else, but it's a bit early to talk like they've won anything here.
Yes. If you can't have both systems available at the same time and location you need to call in to have your account transferred. This requires you to answer some questions about the account such as what games do you own and when did you buy them. Then they take a few days to get around to unlocking your account. It's awful and easily the most user hostile of the modern gaming platforms' stores.
I'm sure it will be gaming + apps like Netflix and YouTube (maybe Kindle too), the same apps that you see on the Wii U and DS currently. But yeah, it's better if the thing sticks to gaming.
It looks like they've kept the D-Pad in so it can double as the A/B/X/Y buttons in that situation, which I think is a really clever way to alleviate some of that issue. I think the type of games where this use case makes sense probably don't need a large number of buttons anyways, though.
its not ridiculous, it points out the flaws that must be addressed. there were cases where people posted losing the ability of their car's system not working because of a leaf. throw in the fact that nice day autonomous driving isn't proof of much. Pretty much any manufacturer have systems that do this the difference is they don't try to infer something with it and Tesla clearly is, they are still trying to deflect negative attention.

When Tesla shows me the same car driving in pouring rain, day or night, in snow, or such, then I will say "damn, they are truly making it work". Until then its a cheap magic trick and dishonest.

What is so odd is bragging about driving when people are least likely to need it, nice wonderful days. Safety systems have been aimed at providing control and reaction in the worst environments.
yes and no... if cellphone is imperfect, at most it can cause inconvenience (let's ignore Note 7 topic for now), if car's driving is imperfect, it can easily kill not so low amount of people

we are geeks, many happy to be early adopters (aka testers), but try to explain this to average middle class joe who sees this and thinks it's already there in point of perfection, no mistake possible.

I just hope for Tesla that they delivered an outstanding technology that will just work, too much at stake with it. For now, respect to engineering team behind this!
Only because multiple controllers are practically standard when it comes to consoles. Grab a few gamepads that easily fit in a laptop bag and there's a plethora of great options for local multiplayer. Spelunky (the remake) is a personal favorite.

I don't know if FIFA Is the true source of the "stupidity" ... I mean, who doesn't want to try using the things you've been goofing around with in your own backyard. I remember visualizing myself as Ken Griffey Jr when playing baseball, who isn't pretending they are Lionel Messi in soccer.

This reminds me of the kids trying to hit homeruns on an 0 - 2 count in baseball. They'll learn.

Its kids learning the game, and kids being kids rather than simply being chess pieces for a 40 year old dad.
For kids under 12 or so the first objective is to keep them in the game; too many players give up under the pressure of yelling coaches and parents that care more about results than anything. We don't need a "everyone is a winner"; children are naturally competitive and enjoy winning, what we don't need is a "win at all costs" mentality in youth sports, you can both develop a player and a person. In youth soccer you can "cheat" players of their development by focusing on strategies that will win you games.
Are you implying that a childless teacher, that has been in the profession for 25 years, has less experience raising children than the parents of a single toddler?

So do human eyes. I perhaps should have used the word night rather than dark. So basically it should work in the night also is my understanding.

And I'm totally calm, and not angered :-). Just trying to make my point. Because I don't like arguments like - 'this is not rocket science', or 'this is not web development.
It has a bad UI.

But the real killer is: games are still tied to hardware, not user account. Which means, if your console dies, you lose all your purchases. (Unless that's changed VERY recently.)

If you're used to the Xbox store like the grandparent, going to the Nintendo Shop is like stepping back in time a decade.
Is having the ball stolen during your pass attempt fun?
So...when do folks think it will be safe to use this? Often 1.0 is reserved for "we'll try to make less painful interface breaking changes after this release". But if this is any indication, we're still a ways off from API stability.
A buggy iPhone results in a frustrated user. A buggy self driving car results in a dead user, and possibly dead innocents. Not the best analogy...
I doubt it will be priced as cheap as the DS, but hopefully it'll play DS games so you don't need to own both and will be able to play multiplayer against DS owners.

If it helps futher square some of the linguistics digressions the parts of cmd.exe that are the console emulator are typically referred to as the ConHost. The ConHost's console emulation is indeed not quite as great a lot of people would like, which is why many Windows users use a different console emulator named ConEmu. Obviously abbreviating the ability of ConHost's console emulation to conemu rather than spell out "console emulation" causes confusion with the ConEmu tool for Windows.
Steam link is effectively just a way of turning your PC into a more console-like device. But most of us don't have Steam Link or an HTPC, so consoles are more convenient, which has always been the console tradeoff: loss of control for added convenience.
Note the definition of urban area though: "To qualify as an urban area, the territory identified according to criteria must encompass at least 2,500 people, at least 1,500 of which reside outside institutional group quarters."

Urban really means not clearly rural. But there are a lot of "urban areas" 10s of miles outside metropolitan areas that people would consider exurban with forests and homes on significant acreage.
Nintendo has been behind with respect to online gaming for multiple console generations. Friend codes instead of user names is a terrible idea, and like their game purchases friend codes are tied to the hardware and not the user account.
Very promising. I like how haptic it is. Part of the magic of old Nintendo was the feeling of slotting in a cartridge, and handling a well-designed device and controller. They will not go back to cartriges obviously, but it seems like they put a lot of thought into this... like car engineers do when the have the doors make a specific sound when they close.
Ask HN: Would you use an open source Google Docs style service in your company?
I feel like the world is missing a Gitlab-style open source Google Docs for those who do not use Google Docs.

Do you agree?
Now that we have electric and self-driving cars you assumptions of what a car is have the ability to be drastically altered.

>Space? Roads take up way more space than tracks.

Highways can now be minimised to two tracks, the standard width of a vehicle, vibration reports can tell the councils where pothole repair is most needed.

>Moving a 2000kg electric car around for 1 person is never going to be efficient.

Car's are 2000kg in part to protect the driver, as crashes trend to 0 there's no reason they need to be so big.

>Roads even with autonomous cars will never have the throughput of a train-line.

Trains are rarely full. Cars can get smaller, we can mitigate traffic jams.
Also, I thought the self-closing door was a nice touch.

Interesting really - I guess it has a nice "chauffeur" feel if you can get into the car without closing the door (I wonder how it knows you are there? Or that everyone who is about to get out has got out?) and/or just roaming off.

Personally I'd be worried about someone slipping into the car before it had closed the door and stealing anything in the car.
That's not what they said. They said a false publication would destroy its credibility. They did not say that WikiLeaks is always in the right so long as they publish accurate information.
> It's just hilarious the contortions of logic people will go to in order to put Musk down.

As much as I anticipate more cool stuff from Tesla, one could say the same about akin-ness of people to find everything that Tesla does "super innovative" and "revolutionary" while the same features already existed in other cars for quite some time.

I actually laughed out loud when I saw the Headline of this submission "Tesla released a video of a car driving itself" being the number one entry on HN - sorry but this speaks volumes about the "neutrality" of HN regarding Tesla.

That would be a great partnership. In my mind though, I feel like Disney would be the better acquirer. Think about how awesome it would be to goto Disney World and get to see Spiderman, Luke Skywalker and Mario all at the same time. They'd be able to take the Nintendo brand even further with the cross overs, merchandising, movies etc.
Fair enough. I'm honestly hoping that the base has some kind of GPU acceleration a la Surface Book. Otherwise, it's going to be treated the same way as the Wii U by third party devs.
I'm not sure we're talking about the same situation.

But: in a standard right turn at a 4-way intersection in California, where neither street is one-way, when turning right, you must turn into the rightmost lane of the cross street. In particular (barring special things like dual right-turn lanes), you can't swing wide into the second lane of the cross street. By "second lane," I don't mean the lane for opposing traffic (obviously you can't go into that lane) -- I mean the left lane of the two that are going in the direction you are turning.

If you are making a left turn, you can go into either the left lane or the right lane of the cross street.

See item 2 (compare item 1) in the section "Examples Of Right and Left Turns" in the CA driver handbook (https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/hdbk/turns).
Why don't you submit this as a blog post or pitch it to a news agency as an ongoing reality news story? It is quite detailed, informative and could help prevent future scams.

You (and involuntarily your step mother) would be doing the public a service and all this would not be for naught.
I wonder if the Tegra X2 in here would be at all able to use any other nintendo devices as an external gpu since they no include the pascal architecture. For example possibly using the new nintendo nx with the switch somehow. Just a thought.
Instantaneous response times doesn't stop the laws of physics. It still takes longer to stop the faster you are going.
Ah, I see. I agree, that probably is what he meant.
Completely agree about "visual stunts" parts. You will find that there are world's best freestylers ( people who can do insane tricks with ball at their feet) who don't even make it to a 2nd division league.
> I'm not sure people want to carry yet another tablet just for gaming. The only way I can see this thing taking off is if it can fall back into an Android tablet mode for web browsing, e-mail, etc. Done right, Nintendo can make this thing the first real challenger to the iPad for mass-market adoption.

If Nintendo did what your asking, it would be a pretty compromised experience. The hardware for gaming is significantly different than generic tablet hardware. (For example, high-res displays are great for Web / Facebook / Twitter / e-Books, but are drawbacks for a gaming console. High power GPUs are great for games, but are often underutilized in tablets. Any non-casual game needs high quality, thick controls, but traditional tablet users favor very thin hardware).

Perhaps in the future, technology will advance, and there won't need to be a trade-off between these two usages. But today, by asking Nintendo to make this a generic Android tablet product, your asking them to compromise something their fairly good at (gaming), to give you a tablet experience that still likely won't be competitive with the iPad anyway.

---

I think it's better to position the Switch as a gaming console (as Nintendo is doing). That way, the Switch doesn't really need to do any tablet stuff to be successful. The Switch only needs to provide a great gaming experience that convinces the 65 million people who own a 3DS or Wii U to buy a new Switch in the future.
The Wii, DSi, 3DS and Wii U all had both physical media and downloadable software. There were e-shop exclusives for all of those systems from mini-games to obscure games that were localized from JP and were too niche for a physical release.
That would mean he's also scamming the BBC.

The BBC reports tweets as news these days, they are not assigning their top Panorama investigative journalists to fluff pieces like this.
But they don't need to have all the buttons or even be ergonomic; they just need to be convenient enough that there's nothing else that provides the same functionality or better. Everything else just affects the quality of the experience, but that determines whether anyone even buys it.

Remember, one of the end goals of Wikileaks is to force secretive groups into using more inefficient communcations methods that put them at an organisational disadvantage to more open, honest ones: “The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie. This must result in minimization of efficient internal communications mechanisms (an increase in cognitive ‘secrecy tax’) and consequent system-wide cognitive decline resulting in decreased ability to hold onto power as the environment demands adaptation.”

British Airways Announces Non-Stop Service to London from New Orleans
Day 1 purchase for me. I want one for the car so my kids can play Mario Kart in the back.
That's far from likely. Not having digital purchases would be a terrible decision for a gaming system. The slot will be there to allow the choice to buy physical media, and to placate brick and mortar game stores.
The international part of the BBC is funded by ads. The simplest solution to not make British citizens pay for it is to block it. Apparently.
> No, he just does stuff. And he does stuff that just so happens to have made him money. Calling that success, defining success only in terms of building things or making money, is an opinion.

No, he doesn't just do stuff. He has built many objectively successful companies and made a great deal of objective money. That is not an opinion. The rest of your post is a non-sequitur.
I'm a parent - I think it's brilliant and probably the #1 usage the console is going to get!
The only way I can see someone observing what you describe in FIFA 16 is if you're playing it without having taken the time to learn the controls. Can keepers kick the ball into the other half? Certainly. Some can even throw the ball into the other half (Neuer). There are so many ways to dribble with the ball other than the static movements you described and it's extremely fluid (even more this year in FIFA 17 with the new FrostBite engine). The only part I can somewhat agree with is shots being somewhat random, but having an RNG (random number generator) element in a sports game is pretty much unavoidable. There is a skill element to shooting, but depending on the individual skill level of the player you're taking the shot with, the result of that shot will vary.
Good point. I have always imagined this to be government subsidized just like public transit is today. I live in Seattle where we're spending billions laying light rail, and I have to wonder if it's all for naught, if self-driving public transit will make rail obsolete.
I have two gandi accounts (one for personal, one for business). Managing that can be a pain sometimes. I also use dnsimple for more complicated and team needs. Gandi is cheaper for simpler things, so I want to keep most of my domains there.

Nuage has a very simple UI (much easier to use compared to gandi, imo)

Microsoft never dropped local multiplayer. Just as many kids younger than you have those same nostalgic memories about going over to a friend's house and playing 4-player Halo 2 or Rock Band.

They might not "focus" on it (whatever that means-- it has the feature, it works, what more "focus" do you need?), I suppose.
"Digital Nomad" is not the keyword you are looking for. The Digital Nomad narrative targets individuals who are trying to escape the prototypical rat race, so most of the focus is on what can be done with a small set of technical skills, like setting up a Wordpress website and building landing pages, email marketing, sourcing from Alibaba, building web courses, Amazon stores, Shopify and Teespring, etc. You sound like you are interested in small tech startup teams that are location independent. Try Rob Walling's podcast Startups for the Rest of Us. And, for a more general and non-technical but still informative view, try TropicalMBA.com. If you are more interested in joining a traditional startups that lets you remote work, try remotebase.io/companies
This is whole reason GNU and Open Source was started. When you have source, you are getting back control of your hardware.
Ba-Bomb Blast on the GameCube was my favorite, i never got that setup for the Wii, as i had the GameCube controllers for a while, but couldn't find the GameCube Game... if i remember correctly, they were compatible.

> Historically, there have been a few other companies that had hundreds of thousands of pre-orders, where you would end up waiting years for your car to be built and delivered to you. Their names were Lada, Volga, etc. Soviet auto companies had the exact same problem Tesla has - inability to meet demand.

Because genuine competition in the Soviet Union was not allowed. Don't want to wait for Mr. Musk's Magical Mystery Car? Then buy a damn Honda Civic or something. A huge pre-order list is notable when it occurs in a context where people have many other options not involving a long wait. It proves the existence of real demand, not "demand-because-of-a-lack-of-alternatives". Proving this demand is important for a small company which is trying to scale up.
