Wow that's sounds like a crappy experience all-round given the avg customer service response!

A few things regarding the towing situation tho... Do tesla's honestly not have any form of rear tow hitch/chassis/axle? The bit where the tow truck driver had to push the vehicle out of a park because it was nose-in boggles my mind. Like,why didn't he just strap on to a rear axle/chassis point and pull it out with his truck/winch? I haven't had a chance to crawl under a tesla but if by design they have nowhere on the rear end to slap a strap this sounds like an absolutely terrible oversight/poor design by the tesla team. That or the towie was just being lazy/precious and didn't want the late night. If anyone owns a tesla and could take a snap of the undercarriage from rear I'd be pretty interested.

Apart from that and the crap customer service experience I've gotta say that this being such a new model of machinery I would be blown away if the first half decade(or full decade) of releases weren't plagued with problems... Most combustion vehicles engines/blocks have literally had 30 years on the same base design slowly removing flaws with each iteration(and creating new ones in the process).

An executive agency can be acting within its delegated authority and still be acting unlawfully. An executive action can't violate the subject's* constitutional rights and the Administrative Procedure Act bars "arbitrary or capricious" actions.

Several courts have already found that the ban is likely arbitrary or capricious. In other words, the order appears to have been made on unreasonable grounds or without proper consideration.

*Some provisions apply to "citizen" while others, including the 14th amendment, apply to "all persons."
to the best of Tesla's knowledge, at the time the letter was signed, the car was defect-free.

This is what happens when there is in fact an intermittent defect, but the technical staff does not believe the user/customer. Basically, this is poor epistemology on the part of the Tesla staff. If this is an exceptionally difficult intermittent problem, their choice is between replacing the unit, or losing a customer. They chose the latter, which is clearly the wrong choice. This indicates some sort of dysfunction and/or poor planning on the part of Tesla management. That they are going to have wastage based on defects is inevitable. They must have underestimated the numbers.

So benefits:

* mental clarity when unnecessary thoughts go away an only the one you need remains
* problem solving - look at a problem and solution just pops up
* stronger mind, doesn't get tired as easily
* jump in efficiency in everything
* increased sensitivity to other people's emotions and intentions
* spiritual growth (realisation that you are not your thoughts is one example, as mentioned below)
* opening your "heart" and letting go of emotional issues
* inner peace :)

I realize not many people will bother, but it doesn't seem that impractical. A small safe deposit box costs about $20 per year, and a U2F-only Yubikey costs $18: https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/fido-u2f-se...

Many sites don't support U2F yet, but that's improving. An alternative for Google Authenticator sites is a set of one-time codes, which can also be stored in the safe deposit box.

I don't exactly see the point of using another site as backup, since you'll want 2FA on that site as well.

You're probably aware of Fama's argument that bubbles are only identifiable in hindsight, and are just reflecting changes in sentiment given new information.

On the other hand, if you've been right with your bubble predictions often enough, maybe there's an argument to be made that you _are_ predicting them. On the third hand, perhaps for every one of you there's another whose predictions are equally wrong, offsetting you.

I'd be curious to know which it is, but I suppose there's not enough data.

> If not what are the reasons for a startup to stay away from .NET CORE?

I've been using .Net for over 10 years now, and just launched a new product on Asp.Net Web API + SQL Server + Orleans.

Whatever Microsoft says, .Net Core is not at all ready. The tooling and libraries are still undergoing major (and breaking) changes. You'll spend more time debugging it than your own code.

I (foolishly) tried to adopt it a year ago (RC), and again six months ago (1.0). Each time I ran into a critical bugs and omissions.

.Net Core will probably, eventually be great. It isn't yet.

I'm a full-blown a cynic, but after OCD and anxiety got the best of me, my therapist recommended I try meditation to both start and end my day, I've started to notice huge improvements.

Can't recommend it enough. It's frustrating at first, the mind will just not stop wandering to worries every 10 seconds, but almost always on cue, the guided meditation would remind me "is you're mind wandering? no big deal, bring your focus back to your breath."

Here's where I recommend starting - http://www.nytimes.com/well/guides/how-to-meditate

There are a few moments now where my mind will go entirely blank, and it's the most relaxing feeling in the world. I still get too excited when that happens to keep it sustained, but I can sense it starting to work.

It's really helpful to check in for a few minutes throughout the day as well. Take something in visually, observe a feeling, listen to what your body is telling you.

I cannot say that I appreciate the manner in which you have chosen to express your objection. The apparent contradiction you are suggesting was the entire point of my comment. There is value in creative works, and authors should certainly be compensated for creating them, and that argument is independent of any copyright concerns. It is, in fact, a different argument. The fundamental issue of copyright is whether in addition to a payment for the work itself, an author ought to enjoy a right to the profits of copies of that work.

Fundamental principles of economics dictate that this situation will not happen naturally. The author is not needed to create copies, and therefore prior to the invention of copyright, no one had any conception that he should be compensated for each copy. It's not like he labored to make the copy himself. The guy turning the handle on the press sure isn't going to be easily persuaded that the author deserves a share of the fruits of that labor. On the other hand, we as humans do really like good books, plays, music, etc, and it is considered fair to most that if someone makes a really popular work, that he get some sort of additional compensation for that. Before the wide adoption of copyright, and even through to the end of the 19th century, copyright violation was common enough that "authorized editions" were still common. Gilbert and Sullivan's British copyright on their works was not respected in the United States. American theater companies copied G&S's work almost as soon as it was performed, but people still preferred going to authorized or licensed performances, at least if they had the option, so G&S (well, really Carte) did pretty well from licensing. I digress somewhat, but I would like to note that this is actually an argument for copyright, especially as the least-market-disturbing option. The right to officially monetize some creative work is sometimes valuable enough in and of itself for there to be a market for it, just not most of the time, and there wasn't any recourse if anyone didn't want to work out a licensing deal. This worked out pretty well because copying and distributing physical media was fairly easy to detect and punish, even if the idea of owning a particular idea was understood by most to be fairly absurd.

The other fundamental issue with copyright in the digital age is that the actual marginal cost of making a copy of Harry Potter is no longer that $8.30 in paper and ink, it's a number so close to zero as to be difficult to establish. Trying to argue for a digital copyright is as futile as arguing with the tide. Whether you or I like it or not, we are effectively in a post-copyright world, and nothing will bring the old world back -- it doesn't cost money to distribute media, so we can't give any part of those profits back to the artist. We need new business models, and as it happens, and as this article discusses, Netflix seems to be stepping up to the plate here in a big way. If you would like to actually articulate a position I am sure I would be interested in further debate rather than just having the opportunity to repeat myself in slightly different words.
"this" was referring to human consciousness (since I was referring to a comment about that)
Haven't done it all that long, after C# I first went Go for a few years, and spent much time with GL shaders and such too.

Haven't done such "real-world" stuff (with a proper server side, client side, data side etc) in Haskell either --- yet. It's not immediately productivity-inducing at all. I think over the very long haul, prolonged intensive exposure makes many a developer of "mainstream/web/crud/mvp/etc extractions" a much more rigorous, precise, exacting practitioner, which will yield a hard-to-quantify, harder-to-capitalize-on, but still very real and more substantive/deeper/sustained "productivity boost". It also teaches one to think of more robust patterns of abstraction and generalization which can translate back into programming-in-other-languages.

Nothing more tangible than that to report. Also there's a lot of curious-researcher-type "playfulness" in the wider ecosystem that's very tricky to assess what this will actually buy the "let's get coding" "brogrammer" (such as I)!

One facet that makes it quite worthwhile is that the language/compiler/ecosystem has incredibly bright people contributing not just by devising yet another funky undecipherable combinator for saving 10 lines of code in once-a-decade scenarios, but in fact actual hardcore pedal-to-the-metal under-the-hood optimizations, code check/test/validation assistence tools, keeping it all somewhat performant in server/parallel/concurrent scenarios and so on.
It's undisputed that the rise as implemented was excluding green card holders. We don't owe random refugees anything, but permenant residency is a legal status that cannot be revoked without due process. It's clear cut unconstitutional.

Just to expound a bit, since I've had the same revelation during meditation...

Buddhists believe that the mind is another sense, just like sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. The only difference is that it's a sense that devoted to looking inward instead of outward. And during meditation you can really start to see it as such. In the same way that you can let your eyes glaze over and see without processing the images or tune out what you're hearing, you can think without paying attention to your thoughts. It's can be trippy to experience, especially when you have the related revelations that pain or other discomfort is, similarly, just a thought that you can likewise ignore.

1. Many of these people aren't refugees. They're regular visa holders, often green card holders. One of the people the ACLU and NILC are representing was previously employed by the US military as an interpreter.

2. When Anne Frank's parents tried to get to the US between 1939 and 1941, the US certainly did not send them straight to death camps. The Final Solution wasn't even decided until 1942. Anne Frank wasn't arrested until 1944.

3. If the standard for US residence is love for our laws and conformity to our way of life, we need to come up with a good explanation for the special case where people born in the US are allowed to stay without vetting upon adulthood.

However, Pulp Fiction wasn't created at a time where home movies were so widespread. If a movie is character-driven, there's not a lot of benefit to seeing it in a cinema these days, as opposed to the comfort of your own home. Big effects on the other hand, they benefit from the cinema experience.

If they did, then these films would be the blockbusters. Whereas Adam Sandler's films were routinely panned for being crap, yet routinely pulled in 8 figures.

What makes you think I'm angry? I thought that scala was an abomination long before Kotlin came to existence. And I usually compare it to clojure which not only tries but succeeds at being a functional language and on the expressivity scale nothing gets near a lisp dialect. Your comment added no value and you obviously despise Kotlin. From what I see in the city I live: 80% of scala projects fail to deliver and never get to production. The older projects which survive suffer from the slow compiler and the binary incompatibility. Not to mention the arbitrary use of all the tacked-on features by scala devs which makes streamlining code style frustrating from both sides.

> there is a non-zero probability that they will contribute something tangible in the limit

I wouldn't hold my breath for that, frankly. My experience in working for a few large companies has shown that they actively discourage contributions, since it opens the doors for lawsuits (frivolous or not), further contribution and maintenance expectations. To them, the cost is not worth the benefits.

There are, of course, the exceptions to this rule - but that's all they are, exceptions.

For one great example, look at the plight of OpenSSL. Before it broke way open, how many companies really contributed to it? And how many just used it, not giving a second thought to using it unless there was a CVE?

I can tell you with personal experience that this is not true. I have taken 30-40mg before bed, and there is a definite difference in my experience from taking 1-5mg. The sleepiness I felt 30-45 minutes after dosing was the most extreme sleepiness I've ever experienced in my life, the dreams are mind-blowing, and I feel tired the next day far beyond what I feel after taking a smaller dose.

At the core of earnest arguments behind climate change denialism are legitimate studies and critiques of not only climate science, but of modern modeling and statistical analysis techniques. A core underlying meme would be "lies, damn lies, and statistics". And more technical one would be "overfitting".

Those critiques are necessary and valid and healthy, but only in the realm of professional discourse. As they leaked out they lost all context and contingency and infused our culture with an unhealthy distrust and skepticism of the legitimacy of scientific claims and techniques.

The concept of regulatory capture has been co-opted by conservatives as an excuse to oppose any sort of government regulation, even though the theory of regulatory capture doesn't make specific claims about the benefit or value or appropriateness of regulation. That concept is not as widely known popularly but still very widely abused far outside the academic realm. It's increasingly being adopted by liberals to unfairly criticize sensible cooperation between regulatory agencies and private business.

The Laffer Curve is similar that way, except that absurdly Arthur Laffer was the first person to claim (and continues to claim) the concept proves things it doesn't.

On the liberal side we can look at trigger warnings and micro-aggressions. The original academic debates that coined those terms were, IMO, quite legitimate and important. In 2017 is it really controversial to think that we might want to give some thought to people suffering from PTSD, such as when discussing rape in the presence of possibly unknown rape victims still feeling victimized. And the concept of micro-aggression is genius. It finally gave us a concrete, if limited, framework for discussing and addressing many of the subtle ways that our inherent cultural biases prejudice and harm people. But both ideas were co-opted and prematurely expanded and radically applied by an overly eager student movement.

There are countless others, too. They abound everywhere. Every editorial article floweths over with inappropriate citations to complex academic theories. It's like the popular psychology fad of the 1950s ballooned to encompass every field, and we all have the fever. We're all pseudo-scientists, now, credentialed to apply scientific theory, and defend ourselves with scientific theory, however we see fit. It's not new. Social darwinism is a classic example of the abuse of science by both scientists and laymen. It just seems more common and more pervasive.

Maybe I'm mistaken in thinking that the pace of radicalism was slower earlier last century and in times prior. Part of the reason I think that is because college attendance rates are way up, which I think implies that a large portion of society has been exposed to more radical and more highly technical ideas. And like the advent of cheap sugar, we've developed a taste for new, sweet ideas that's messing with our political chemistry. But maybe that's also a poor assumption, not to mention a poor analogy.
That you know of. Have you vetted these GMOs against all possibilities of people's DNA? Perhaps unreasonable. How about testing against people who are considered "unhealthy" by the trial criteria? Nope, science knows nothing about how GMOs affect those people, yet claims they are safe.

For one thing the law in the US derives from English common law and that in turn is affected by the fact that English is a train crash between an old Germanic tounge and the French spoken by the Norman invaders (who installed themselves as the upper class.)

Thus vulgar words in English tend to be based on German roots but high-status language (the law) is based on Latin roots.
