That sales comparison you're using is based on the assumption that the Model S competes with large luxury cars, and it ignores the overlap between similar models (e.g., S-class and CLS). On features and price however, the Model S more closely competes with midsize luxury cars. I think the Model S is unique and looking at either large or midsize comparibles alone isn't informative, but I think it's closer to midsize than large.

The i3 is efficient not because it is tiny, but because it is light weight. Weight reduction is hard and it is a lesson Tesla has yet to learn.

> The simple fact is that the Germans know if they put out an EV sedan or SUV, they will cannibalize their own market share and their investments in combustion engine manufacturing, which are massive, will be lost.

They haven't put out an EV sedan or SUV yet because the market isn't profitable yet. The trend for engines has long been towards becoming a commodity sourced from elsewhere and tuned in-house or a scalable design, i.e., except for models where the engine is a selling point you're not investing your money in engines. As to cannibalizing their own sales, I don't understand your point.
I love this.

It feels like how the DOM API should have been implemented.

And minified its about 4kb. Though I hate website bloat, this doesn't feel so bad.

When it stabilises, I'd definitely use it.
Is Free still doing 6to4 (which was probably fine at the time) or did they start doing native ipv6?
That's accidentally pretty bleak.
I get how the author feels, but, apart from the fact Elm does not _claim_ to be ready for production use, this seems to come down to "functional languages are different from non-functional languages and I can't wrap my head around it in a couple of hours". E.g.

> a language that seems to inherit not just nice types and largely ok or even nice syntax from Haskell but also a stubborn approach to prefer (imagined) purity over practicality [...]

Why "imagined"? I do think that prohibiting side-effects is a good thing. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not actually good at writing pure code that's easy to grasp, but I imagine that to be a lack of practice, just like w/ OOP.

Bottom line is that I don't get why people pick up a functional language, which also happens to be in development, and then bash it for being a functional language and not yet ready for production. This seems like pointless bashing.
“Looking at the content itself, but also the timing of the activity, the network structures, how information spreads from one account to another and so forth. Eventually we realized that about 15 percent of the accounts on the Twitter feed discussing elections in the U.S. are bots,” Research assistant professor Emilio Ferrara told KCBS.

More importantly, Ferrara says, these bots generated about 20-percent of the entire conversation.

This is Emilio's own Twitter profile, which (one hopes) is not a bot:

Ah ok. In the context of 4chan or memes, it's not a problem. You usually like them because of the politically incorrectness. It just seems out of place on HN, where people tends to be overly analytic, and rarely call people names.
I suggest reading Remote by 37 Signals/Basecamp. https://37signals.com/remote
> Most of the folks involved, either on the media side or the government side, suffered absolutely no consequence to their reputations.

I still cannot believe this. In fact, it's probably the single most poignant fact of the Iraq war. It shows us that the NYT was not outraged by the "mistake" but supported what was effectively a propaganda effort.

This is why I liken the NYT to America's Pravda. The stories it runs help to bolster the legitimacy of certain institutions and create PR and misdirection as needed to allow the status quo to continue.
And yet Signal doesn't have the capability to do what the article describes in that section.

Out of interest, are you the in the US? As I don't think the i3 is that small in the context of car sizes in other markets.

I hate this type of rhetoric comparing the USA to a police state. The USA does not detain, "disappear," or torture political dissidents or opponents. The USA is not a police state. It's not even close to a police state.
That's fair. Any ideas as to how? I can think of ways to make ballots more understandable, but I have no idea how to get people to pay more attention to them.
Again: criticism of Signal is in-bounds, but outright allegations that Signal is a shill for Google is not. Moxie is a member of the HN community, and you cannot make these kinds of allegations about him here in this fashion.

I can tell, you are not a fan of dark humour. Understanding depression has nothing to do with it.
Yeah, anxiety can be weird like that.

The key I've found is keeping something of a diary, initially it was a sleep diary so the next time a doctor screws up and prescribes me a drug that makes me manic, I'll figure it out quickly.

I added any medications I take, various other things (especially weird dreams are fun), and when I feel unusually anxious I write that down, and mentally go through the things that have happened in the last day or so. The one(s) that make me feel noticeably more anxious right then and there as I enumerate through the list, well, that's the tipoff.

I recommend learning cognitive therapy, now with an added "behavioral" component, if you want to try something like this out, and it can help in general to the extent it helps you realize some of the things that bother you are cognitive distortions.
You opt in when you connect your Android device to your Google account for the first time, I think.
Yes, that is a prime source of confusion for those terms! The problem is all about perspective.

From the perspective of the bank, your account is a liability, so when they deposit into it, then its value increases, hence "credit".

When they say "your account" they actually mean "the account where we track how much money we owe you".

From your business's perspective, your bank account is an asset, so when they deposit into it, then its value increases, hence "debit".

Yeah, exactly. This Location History thing could provide me with an alibi if someone was trying to sue me for something I didn't do. It enhances my rights instead of lessening them, in my opinion. And it doesn't touch anyone else's rights.
For electrical phenomena (baring very very small scale, semiconductors) Maxwell's equations give you a huge amount of insight, especially the macroscopic variant. You can see things like plasmons and polaritons (though obviously not their quantization).

You won't really run into the atom stuff until you try to do something like calculate dielectric constants analytically, though self-energy is definitely a pretty easy trap to fall in even for macroscopic stuff.
It is pointless to build something when there is no market for it. You can see this, as you call it, hectoring as a market generation. If the market is ready, a product will emerge for it.

This process is also made more difficult by arrogant people like you who out of their ignorance or self interest actively work against it.

Let me explain: saying put your money where your mouth is and build something that can win in the market is considerably arrogant position as it states that an argument is simply wrong just because current market will probably not sustain it. But it will not sustain it because the market is not informed enough and it is very difficult to campaign against actors with huge resources on the sea of ignorance.

Besides, I am simple observer, not a one I was describing. But I am becoming to believe more and more that the basic infrastructure were are using must be open to reclaim the lost trust within the society.

I am the opposite of most comments here. Don't stupid her away to a mobile device.

We got our mom a computer, a cheap one, and told her to play with it. Break it. Click everywhere.

Soon enough she was playing with windows settings. Soon enough nothing worked. She now knew you can brick computer, she is more careful.

We fixed the computer and she explored the internet. She asked how she could download wallpapers, we introduced her to torrents and file sharing. She got viruses. She learned that you can get virus online and they will delete your hard worked wallpaper collection. She is aware of the dangers of the internet now.

For a while you would download all the free adblockers, anti-virus, etc., she could find and put them on CDs. She learned to clean her own computer.

Right now she is very comfortable with computers and it allows her to have more freedom. She will easily connect with people online, like we do here. I'm certain it has helped her keeping smart.

She even feel out pain now. Whenever one of her neighbours lady has issues with computers they call her.
Not a police state per se - but detaining political protestors at large isn't something to be fond of.

GM pretty much proved that the idea that big automakers will be left behind as very very wrong. the German manufacturers aren't going to fare badly. they just don't toot their own horn with undelivered products as much if at all.

the real truth is Tesla is the one who has to watch out, the large makers have the resources to do what they want and when they want too, again look at GM and how quickly the Bolt came to market and came to market done right.

The latter. Vogel was about to publish a piece of investigative journalism on the Hillary Victory Fund (one that the Sanders camp celebrated at the time). He asked the Clinton team for their explanation and sent a preprint to make sure he didn't misrepresent it in any way, which would have damaged his piece if it were immediately followed by the Clinton camp saying he was wrong and that they had told him why but he hadn't printed it. ttps://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2016/07/25/lay-off-politicos-ken-vogel/

If the FDA were reorganized to significantly reduce the amount of soda, cookies, chips, and candy people ate, that would have a much more useful effect.

My "road out" was pretty severe.

I had to move on from my social group who were not healthy (some of my closet friends at the time), I stopped drinking and partying entirely, I started working out, and started to plan out my goals for the next two years.

I completely closed ranks on my life - which was a major decision and started from scratch again. Probably the hardest decision I've ever made. Two years of being clinically depressed and I felt like I needed to jump start my life again.

It wasn't easy, but in the long run it's been well worth it.

It's not that easy to break into the walled garden. There are fundamental differences between a iPad and a PC (or a Mac, if the distinction still makes sense).
Yes. I love programming, but I really dislike how inactive I must be to work as a programmer. I don't like sitting/standing all day, and being chained to the computer. Short activity breaks, and workouts in the morning and evening don't cut it.

When I'm outdoors and active, I am so much happier. If I am on a multi-day outdoor trip to hike or rock climb, I feel like a completely different person. This is especially true on long trips that last more than a week. I have much less stress. I smile compulsively, instead of baring my usual strained expression. I have more energy. You might think at first that is simply because I am on vacation and I don't have to think about work obligations, but when I am on a normal (non-outdoor) type of vacation, I don't get the same feeling at all. I think it has more to do with the outdoor environment and physical activity.

I recently met someone who works as a park ranger, and I became envious of her job. I would love to patrol the woods all day as a ranger, or to be a mail carrier walking from house to house. I make much more money as a programmer, but "money cannot buy happiness", and I wonder often if I should change course.
