Automatics don't engine brake the same way, the torque converter is only fully engaged when it has some pressure buildup, so it will slip (and not maintain fuel cut) when coasting whenever the wheel speed won't maintain the pressure.

To test, watch your rpm when you left off the gas, if it drops to ~750-1000 rpm, your torque converter is slipping (as designed) and not maintaining fuel cut.

To agree with you, I think the comments in this thread started from a manual transmission standpoint and then everybody thought it applied to automatics.

Good. Twitter, Reddit and other sites have a delusion that they have to allow hate on their sites in the name of free speech. That is false. These sites are not the only means of expression. Storm front has existed longer than those sites. They can go there to spout their hate.

I truly believe that by playing host to hateful views over the last 6+ years, sites like Reddit and Twitter have helped to mainstream them and make the "alt right" (Neo-Nazi) movement what it is.
I think you misread the double negative?
Nowadays the means of keeping contact information when making new friends is whatsapp or facebook. So yes, this would not be a problem for now, but it would be in a few years when mobile numbers become really obsolete (hopefully not).
I am happy to see this. I worked on a series of projects about 2 years ago where the company used Asana.

It is probably just because of the way I think, and the way I go about solving problems, but I felt Asana (original) was ... underwhelming to say the least.

Trello I immediately fell in love with when I learned about it, and have used it a ton now and still have the same feelings about it to this day.
To be fair to John Oliver, in the episode he points out stuff from both sides, calling out how many fact news articles are left-leaning. He also points out his own show's bias and mentions Politifact in his episode. To be fair also to John Oliver, Bill Oreilly calling out Trump for not checking facts is amazing, and Trump saying he has no time to check facts is even more amazingly scary.
It seems like the alt-right fascist-leaning people are more dedicated to free speech than the left-leaning liberals. Oh, the irony. I'm surprised how the liberals still didn't learn the lesson after Trump was elected. Trump would have never been elected if it wasn't for the silencing and ridiculing campaigns of the liberal media. Turns out people don't like being patronised, what a surprise.
This is good advice too. I actually have my domain name and web hosting through different companies, particularly for this reason, if I have service issues or something with my web host, I wanna make sure I can switch web hosts or threaten them with the wrath of God or something, without worrying about my domains.
Effectively it's more equal then an ICE.

Also if you can get someone who has a lot of experience with motor control they can get you going pretty quickly. I'm assuming what's in the Tesla is a brush-less DC motor and there are a few things you can do (especially since you're on some serious batteries in the Tesla) to push some serious torque at the startup curve. You're probably only running a modulated power start for a few seconds. After the first few seconds you're shoving the full amperage into the motor.
That is completely dependent on the design of the engine. There is no reason that an electric motor cannot be hooked to a transmission. It just doesn't need it as badly because they can handle sustained high RPMs, and in many cases, are specifically designed for high RPM operations. So it makes sense to keep things simple, and leave out the transmission, and that is what we are seeing right now.

But as electric cars become more common, they will need to be able to handle all types of driving, including steep slopes, which is a very common reason to stay in a lower gear. There will be demand for such a function, even if not in every vehicle.
Please bear in mind that manufacturers currently self-police and that they test under artificial conditions. Hence, there have already been several scandals with Honda, Ford, Hyundai and Volkswagen either manipulating, or falsifying results; not even the onboard computer can be fully trusted: the only precise measure is noting how many liters were put in and how many kilometers were driven on that quantity, and that only on the spec tire size and with the assumption that the odometer is correct.
Very few drivers in the U.S. know when to turn overdrive off or use a selective gear.
The article you reference does not say anywhere that Assange was not present. Also, you need a lot of supporting evidence to claim that Assange's lawyer (Jennifer Robinson) would

a) lie about her client

b) speak without his permission

and/or

c) go through this whole process without having access or speaking to her client for the last month

That is not how lawyers operate (and Assange is especially careful when selecting his representatives). Or do you think she has been coerced?

Edit: And Assange has more than one lawyer. His Swedish lawyer was the one not present.
Solving technical problems is, unfortunately, usually far easier than solving people and political problems.

What's missing from all this discussion is how everyone (including this forum) was full of nothing but lavish praises for Theranos when it was the darling of Silicon Valley. It took an employee who was related to a senior official of the company whistleblowing it and then investigative journalism by WSJ for this company to be exposed.

How many other Theranos-like companies is the "Change the world" culture of the valley who refuses to bow down to scrutiny still praising I wonder?

I don't think anyone is unaware of his partisanship. But partisanship is only relevant if it affects reporting, which by your statement would seem like we are of opposite convictions. I believe both the old Daily Show (and likely the new one as well, but I never watch it) and Last Week Tonight work really hard to put everything they report/joke about in a relevant context without leaving anything out, and I have yet to see anything hinting otherwise.

I've seen a lot of critique for Clinton on Last Week Tonight, but even if I hadn't, why would that in any way affect their Trump coverage (if still factual)?

But speaking of politifact [1] [2]:

Is it somehow disingenuous to report on Trumps blatant lies? I find it wholly unsurprising that all politicians lie more than "regular people", but I find it supremely horrifying the amount of Trumps lies that are swallowed whole to the extent that Hillary is the one portrayed as "crooked" when comparing these statistics.

If you were, say, an excellent PR consultant. Some "alt"-right group comes along and wants to hire you, willing to pay your standard rate and demanding relatively standard work. Would you be willing to?

Almost all would probably decline. Not just because we wouldn't enjoy the work, but also because it is something that, by definition, would help them and support their goals (according to their judgement – otherwise they wouldn't hire you).

Should people working at twitter not be allowed to make similar decisions? It's not hyperbole – look at reddit, and how it has devolved to something like a lowest common denominator. I'd leave as fast as I could instead of lending support to the toxic community.

Do they have a right that overrides mine? No. Private entities are more or less free to decline any customers, exceptions only where they have monopoly power (telecom, water).

Is fighting them out in the open the more valiant thing to do? No – I don't argue about chemtrails, or religion, or flat earth or evolution. Because it doesn't work. The chance of them convincing me that evolution isn't real is 0. Unfortunately, even though I'm right, my chance to convince them is about the same. Because none of this has anything to do with facts – it's red tribe vs blue tribe, and the right's search for a sense of belonging that Reagan sold to the highest bidder.

Is it going to empower the extremists to ignore them? Considering the ideas aren't new, I can only conclude that the internet has given them increased visibility and therefore helped their rise. If reasonable people decide to curtail their options for propaganda – by hiding them from Facebook, Twitter, Google the way conspiracy theories were ignored by reasonable people in the past, they may just shrink back to their appropriate size of plus or minus 0.

PloarisMail is pretty 'barebones' on the face of it but works well:

Zoho is actually very good too but they (like Gmail) enforce IMAP connection limits, so it you have a lot of folders etc or use mobile clients like K9 that open a connection per folder then you can get errors very regularly.

The above is true for Zoho on the free plans anyway, but it may be different for the paid ones. But the free ones have pretty much all you could need if you don't run into the high number of IMAP connections issues.

I agree. I am price sensitive on flights but would love an option to pay an extra amount for decent food. As it is food quality is something I take into account when selecting an airline.

I listened to a documentary a little while ago about British airlines and the trend and pressure on their supply companies to hit a budget of £1 per meal per passenger.

At that price it's no wonder we get fed crap.

Please allow me my honesty but that's a stupid way of thinking about candidates and the roles. Or I do not get it.
So you are basically going to judge the candidate based on what criteria ? If they use vi instead of cat to append to a file ?
So decide what is the best way of solving the problem ? Or you give +1pt for using tail instead of opening the whole file in VI ?
Are you aware of the fact that there are many types of systems and products that sysadmins use ? They do not behave the same. It makes no sense to use "top" on Solaris even the number for "uptime" reported by Solaris are different.

Never happened to me. When they don't have my preferred meal selection they usually offer me vegan or vegetarian food.

Precisely. No desktop user ever interacts with the init system.

On the other hand, Linux has a history of _forcing_ desktop users to mess with device management for the simplest of tasks, e.g. making their audio devices work.
I can't think of any situation outside of a race course where this would be a necessary maneuver. If you're going so fast on public roads where you need to left foot brake to transfer weight to avoid skidding off the road, it sounds like something is wrong. Where are you doing this enough where having a car with throttle cut off is enough of an annoyance where you won't buy a car with it anymore?

For reference, I got pretty good at this technique while driving autox, which for those unfamiliar is basically a race course around cones in a giant stadium parking lot, one car at a time. But in my 10 years of driving on public roads, I've never felt the need to use it even once.

Another nail in the coffin for peak-oil alarmism/cheering. Oil production and all the ways we consume it is a remarkable achievement for humankind. It's just too good, dammit! I seriously hope we can manage any severe impacts from the increased emissions.
This is employer-centric in my opinion - sure you're not paid to write code, and sure you can reuse existing code base in new and exciting ways.

But - there's also value in learning new things, in new skills, in new toolsets. Maybe it's not best for the employer, but for you the employee it can help quite a bit.

There's a fine balance - ideally your employer encourages you to learn things on the job, and to try new things that may not necessarily make it to production, but improve your skillset overall.
I know about that, I actually hate those "underlying system" differences even more. With a bit of forethought we could have covered all the use cases and not have silly things such as /etc/redhat-release vs /etc/debian_version.[1] There's no reason we couldn't have had a "/etc/distro-info" with a standardized format for writing down the distro name, the platform and the full distro version (branch/release, minor release, revision, build number, etc.). And there's thousands of these differences.

As I said: social/political/historical reasons bringing us down.

Apple probably is an exception rather than a rule here; their products are so overpriced that any new product success easily makes up for previous products losses.

I wish Facebook would remove their "trending news" feature. Their algorithm is basically selecting and promoting all the junk it can find, without the slightest vetting. How is it possible that a feature botched like this would: 1) pass the "testing" stage, 2) be ever considered a good idea in the first place.

The only re-assuring thing to me about this is: Pretty much anything ridiculous the Republicans accomplish in the next 2-4 years can almost certainly be reversed once they (purposefully or not) knock some sense back into the American public.

I never said a lack of proof necessitated falsity. It simply seems to me that when it's nearly impossible to disprove such claims (it's just someone saying something on the internet), we shouldn't lend them too much credence unless we actually know the person or have a good reason. So, whereas you think we shouldn't doubt them without good reason, I think the opposite. It's like religious people saying, prove that God doesn't exist -- well, I can't do that, but it shouldn't be my burden, it's the believer who should present evidence for belief. We believe people are innocent until proven guilty, these people are making claims against others and it's simply their word against, well, nothing. Also, I never said most or all are fake. But there definitely are claims which proved false.
Legally, you're at the mercy of the provider to supply these. Most third-party applications that would provide effective backup solutions could be construed as illegal under the CFAA, as long as the ToS includes boilerplate forbidding automated or proxy access (and almost all do). Even without such a ToS, courts can and have held that merely visiting a page can constitute a copyright infringement based on the momentary copy stored in RAM being unauthorized, and specific notification that the company no longer wants you contacting their servers would also cause any future access to violate the CFAA, more or less regardless of the text of the ToS.

There was a company called Power Ventures. They made it easy to export your Facebook data. They never stored anything the user didn't have a copyright interest in (that is, they only stored the user's own data, like their profile pictures and status updates). Nevertheless, Facebook took them to court and shut them down. The company had trouble retaining a lawyer after the shutdown (and companies must be represented by a member of the bar -- pro se is not allowed) and ultimately, the founder was held personally liable for $3 million in damages.

That's what happens if you look like even a remote threat to a major technology incumbent.

We need to fix our tech access laws.

I wonder if it was just stored in a place that isn't heated. The atmosphere gets pretty cold up there.
This is a tired old argument, so let me just quote Daniel Victor:

Those in the Black Lives Matter movement say black people are in immediate danger and need immediate attention, like the broken bone or house on fire.

Saying “All Lives Matter” in response would suggest to them that all people are in equal danger, invalidating the specific concerns of black people.

“You’re watering the house that’s not burning, but you’re choosing to leave the house that’s burning unattended,” said Allen Kwabena Frimpong, an organizer for the New York chapter of Black Lives Matter. “It’s irresponsible.”

More to the point: It is a given that all lives matter, said Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, an assistant professor of African-American Studies at Princeton University.

“That has always been an assumption,” she said. “The entire point of Black Lives Matter is to illustrate the extent to which black lives have not mattered in this country.”

“if we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, ‘all lives matter,’ then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of ‘all lives.’ ”
And, yet, here's an example where EPA numbers on a car model where the automatic has better gas mileage:

https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2015_Scion_FR-S.shtm...

Now, perhaps this doesn't accurately represent real world driving conditions but nonetheless, physics notwithstanding, it does suggest that an automatic can be more efficient using standard measurements.
