As long as Tesla is still in business, replacements will be available. They still fully support the Roadster, even providing an updated battery pack at cost to owners.

Model specific battery packs? You're aware the battery packs are all the same form factor, correct? They have an 8 year battery/motor drivetrain warranty on the S and X models, which means they'll produce compatible packs for at least 8 years from the last vehicle of a model rolling off the line.

It's already happened. Contrary to popular belief, Western countries are not uniformly rich and successful places where everyone drives a Ferrari and owns three houses.

This stereotype is really annoying to those of us who suffered through the industrial collapse and saw the society of whole regions destroyed (larger than most eastern European countries.)

I'm really shocked by how much I appreciate my Apple watch. I bought it figuring I'd try it for 13 days and return it. Instead, I forgot to put it on in the morning of the fifth day and turned around on the way to work to get it -- it made that much difference. My GF, likewise, finds hers indispensable.

But it does pretty much everything I need right now so I don't see a point in upgrading. The analysts are hoping for an upgrade market.

IANAL but assault consists of harmful or offensive contact, or the threat of same. Under this definition:

* psychological harm counts as harm

* an activity which has the same psychological effect as contact may be defined as contact under law, especially when VR starts to incorporate haptic feedback

* the law may still allow prosecution under the rubric that "virtual groping" constitutes a threat, as it certainly feels threatening

* many women's rights groups consider the use of certain language or communication to be "violence against women"; and some jurisdictions may prosecute it as such

The answer is it's not clear. The courts will eventually decide the issue.

5. In a time when wealth is centralizing as never before, investments in real estate distributes wealth locally. I think there are valid arguments against public policy to distribute wealth, but there is a societal logic here.

I think this is a good point. Honestly, I don't know the economics of how property ownership is distributed in the US, but as a result, I can't say why we aren't all renting from a small handful of giant land owners, who can control entire cities or even regions. For this reason, though I know that the homeowner subsidy is regressive in many ways, and that home ownership isn't necessarily the most productive investment strategy, I'm hesitant to just get rid of it.
> Get rid of that silly big screen on Apple watch. Put the touch sensor there. Why not just allow thumbprint scan, wave my watch at a Apple Pay terminal, and buy things? Way less effort than taking out my phone.

Just in case you missed it, this is already supported, and it's somewhat better than you're suggesting. Once the watch is unlocked, it does not need additional authentication to pay until it leaves your wrist (at which point it relocks). Double click the side button to put it into pay mode.

One talk I like to give at college campuses is such: A startup is like the obscure 1990's Playstation game Katamari Damacy. You start off with a small magic ball about the size of a pencil eraser. You can pick up anything smaller than you, but if you try to pick up something too big, you bounce off and get smaller. You start picking up paperclips and chess pieces, and then by the end of the game (spoiler alert) you end up picking up skyscrapers and continents and such.

It's like that. You start with bringing your cofounders together. Then you add your first customers. Then maybe you raise a little bit of friends and family money, and that lets you put more money into customer acquisition, which gets you more cofounders, which lets you get more revenue to hire a few more people, and raise more money, and so on.

So startups are like katamari damacy, and if you win, you end up picking up an entire industry.

> There is no science that can explain this sort of thing that I know of, and I fully expect that others would have different interpretations.

The article had a pretty good explanation: that strings sound different at different tensions. Musical instruments tuned lower would sound darker, mellower, and "looser" than those tuned higher. The instruments would probably feel a little different to the musicians, who would probably play differently, especially if they'd just heard somebody expound on the mystical properties of a certain tuning. I'm not at all surprised that it would sound different.

There are a bunch of fussy little problems that Haskell solves nicely. One example is looking up a value in a map

map.get("foo") // returns null

is the value of the key null, or was there no key? Different languages have different approaches. Haskell let's you build up deep structures, a list of maps of list of maps ... and you'll have an indication of what path you took down the data structure to get a result. You can do this in any language, but it relies on programmer discipline, and everybody doing it the same way every time. In Haskell, it's the easy thing to do, and often the only way to do it. You'll wind up with something like

[Just ["foo"], Just ["bar"], Nothing]

The first two maps had once answer each, the final map had nothing.

Laziness means you have control of the order of evaluation. in practice you can make your own control structures without macros. bracket is a good example,

bracket open_socket do_stuff close_socket

the socket always gets cleaned up, with an ordinary function. No try/catch.

One of the biggest hassles in programing is leaky abstractions. The type system means you can steal abstractions from mathematicians that just don't leak. There's some good stuff here [1] about the kinds of things you can say.

Purity means values can't change behind your back. there's no function to call that'll change the state of some object you're working with.

All together, it's nice for languages. You can build up parse trees any way you wish, and traverse those trees to execute the semantics. So if you can think of a dsl for your problem, you can whip up an interpreter pretty quick. If you change your mind, and want to turn it into a compiler, it's relatively painless.

It's a fun language.

Most of us would say material directly relevant to our later specializations of choice. That's difficult to do in practice, both because of the diversity involved and because of the difficulty in predicting eventual specialization. Not everyone knows at 12 that they want to be a programmer!

More diverse electives for specialist history would have been nice, but there are practical restrictions on the specialist teachers available in a town of 50k people.

do you know by any chance where I could find a good (as complete as possible) list on M&A deals within pharma industry for the last 20 years, for the 10-20 largest pharma companies? I mean, the biomedical picture you gave a link to is good already but it doesn't have recent Mansanto acquisition and tons of other deals. And Google just gives a small glimpse into such deals here and there but I can't find a comprehensive list yet.
It's not so much whether to trade but on what terms, in what goods, whether there is a customs barrier and whether EU rules conflict with other deals.

E.g. when we're out of the CFP, will Spain block imports of UK seafood in retaliation? If we subsided e.g. steel, would that be subject to anti dumping tariffs?

There's an almost infinite amount of detail in which we could lose out.
If you're a poor kid that manages to mingle with the rich and famous, I'd imagine you'd have some pretty good opportunities come your way too regardless of education.

In theory. It is a theory I would like to believe in. But as a homeless woman who has managed to become the top ranked woman on HN, a forum that has plenty of people with quite a lot more money than me, as well as expertise in making money online (the thing I desire to do to resolve my personal problems, rooted in an incurable medical condition), so far, it seems to have not done all that much for me.

Being homeless has been incredibly eye-opening as to just how invisible you can be to people who think you aren't good enough for some reason. So saying "well, you just need to meet the right people..." sounds like yet another excuse to me for The Haves to wash their hands of improving the world and justify the suffering of The Have Nots as somehow all their fault.

FYI: I was not only one of the top students of my graduating class, I was one of the top students in my state and in the country.

So my lack of ability to make connections that benefit me isn't because I am inarticulate or incompetent.

Four meters of mean sea level rise is plenty to completely disrupt global shipping and make many densely populated coastal cities uninhabitable.

In some places, nothing will change. In some places, sea level may decrease. In others, it will be very substantial.

Never mind the effect that the decrease in albedo and the increased heat capacity of liquid water would have.

In terms of timescales - it won't be instant. If the shelf collapses then it'll allow the rapid outflow of the glaciers behind it, but when we say rapid we mean 30km/yr (total guess, depends on so much, could be less, could be much more) rather than 4km/yr.

So far, however, everything has gone worse than our worst published models. I think we're going to see some nightmarish stuff in our lifetimes.

"Steven P. Jobs, Apple's chief executive..." Interesting, nobody calls him that today.
i think this perspective conflates good security and bad security with a single approach.

"You must just apply and meet certain standards" - your factory also needs to apply and meet standards, not just you. we work with a fantastic factory that builds high quality products (numerous baby and toy products) and is large (>45K employees). they aren't mfi certification (its not just meeting standards, its an application process that costs time and money).

The benefit is you have access to a huge market (iOS users). - we already have access to this market. The main thing is slapping a little homekit badge on the packaging and slightly tigher integration with siri.

agreed with you that nobody wants to be at fault for taking down the internet due to bad security on their devices, but its a bit misleading to suggest that apple's approach is a good way to do it.

whats fundamentally wrong with it is the cost it imposes onto companies making something compatible with their ecosystem. I don't want to add a few dollars to my BOM so that I can further help their ecosystem. I also don't like the closedness but I understand that is apple's general approach. I want to have open APIs and cloud integrations. Radio/hardware level integrations are fine but given the giant mess that is IoT radio standards, I would rather just integrate via https.

For perspective on how this makes it down market:

Lets say I want to make a Thread compatible device and a homekit compatible device. I have now likely added 4-8USD to my BOM. Typical multipliers from BOM to retail are 3-5X or more so we could have just added 32 usd to our price. Or we could have just done a cloud integration and used the wifi or bluetooth chipset we were going to use anyways...
I think it means: "For every 100 issues we had to address each day 12 months ago, we only have to address 8 issues per day, today."
The UK already has full control of non-EU immigration and stringent criteria. Are you getting immigration, asylum, and the Dublin convention n refugees mixed up?
In the past, I have followed through with what seemed like good decisions at the time. As the years went on, I started to have doubts that they were not-so-great decisions, but I continued to follow through anyway, because of my awesome willpower. I definitely got some things 'done', but in some instances, they were at best a colossal waste of energy, and at worst, actually ran counter to my true goals.

Life is a process of self-discovery and adaptation. I actually agree with you, that simple 'decision' carries immense power. But if that power is wasted or ill spent, then future uses of that power carry a pall of distrust, which makes the power harder to use.

I cannot find the quote right now, but it is something like: "Some have inside themselves a volcano, and some have a glacier. Neither should take advice meant for the other."

I have a volcano in my heart, and I can spend many lifetimes spewing forth lava in all directions, for the ultimate good of no one. My lifelong struggle is to learn how best to focus that energy.

But be careful if you are a glacier, that you don't tell a younger version of myself to just start spewing in any direction. Likewise, I won't tell you to stop and make sure that you're moving in the right direction before you take any steps at all.

Lazy evaluation does make understanding performance/memory behavior hard, but usually you'll be using pipes/conduit/machines instead of lazy lists in production code, so its not much of an obstacle for real-time behavior.

However GHC's garbage collector can be an issue for real-time code, having high 99th percentile latencies.

Here's an EFF.org press conference video detailing NSA wiretapping, from 10 years ago, as of writing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqEfMMUbfQw

Whilst the efforts of the NSA were known for some time, the Snowden leaks were very aggressive and a lot more information could be gleaned from them. It's not enough to casually mention Echelon and then dismiss these revelations as trivial. There is an enormous trove of details in the Snowden Archive that describes the apparatus and machinery used to spy, not just some vague reference to "Tapped Undersea Cables" which is an oft-used scene people use to describe the NSA. I just wish the leaks had more detail, like code samples, or even pictures of the facilities used to spy. (You'd be surprised how much can be gleaned from just one picture or a line of code).
There's a difference between a decision being made for a moral/ethical reason that happens to be in line with shareholders and a decision being made only to appease shareholders. Given how hard it is to determine if any one decision is truly good for the short/long-term health of the business, it seems silly to say that the first case never happens.
I never got it that Jack Ripper and bis bodily fluids in Dr Strangelove were meant to be a reference to anti fluoridation campaigners
The article is also talking about non-client area scaling which is not a per thread issue. Also, it gives the example of the print dialog in Notepad not scaling. That's a first party app!

Sure, Carbon doesn't scale. It was effectively deprecated almost ten years ago when it wasn't ported to 64-bit. Apple rapidly rewrote its first-party apps and they've been scalable for years. Basic first party apps in Windows 10 don't scale properly. I don't know what you can call that other than a disaster.
