Where does the policy say that? I see:

> "Once I've prepared a written analysis, the client may defer publication by up to three months. This gives the client a chance to understand the faults I've identified, attempt to fix bugs, update documentation, and deploy fixes to users."

So, a client can get the analysis done and attempt to defer publication for three months, after which time it'll be published. No?
As a former Tesla owner and current i3 owner, I really don't understand why the concept of the road trip is constantly held up as the standard by which electric cars should be judged. I really don't understand why people are optimizing for their once a year use case rather than their daily use case. Unless it's your lifestyle, road trips are the exception, not the rule.

For my family, it means owning my i3 for commuting and my wife's Toyota Sienna for family trips. For others, it could mean renting a car for a week or two when you take a long road trip.

As a fun note: As a BMW i3 owner, BWM offers me up to 2 weeks per year of complimentary gasoline car rental for road trips.
Well, I was criticising the article in a condescending way, on very similar grounds, so you make a fair point ;)
10 years ago, the rhetoric was "electric cars will never work, because they won't ever be able to go 200 miles and there's no infrastructure, and they drive like golf carts, ha ha!".

Now it's "well it doesn't go 500 miles and it doesn't charge in 5 minutes, and okay, it is the quickest to 60mph of any production car in the world, but only on a full charge and that sucks!!!"

Arguing with strangers on the Internet is not something I enjoy, so I'll just point out some details of this that I either didn't cover or that were apparently overlooked.

1) We actually did match Netflix's offer in total comp, by offering Bob a mix of base salary and stock that exceeded the total value of their Netflix offer significantly. The difference is that Netflix's offer was all cash. It is very hard to compare a Netflix offer to a pre-IPO Twitter offer except in hindsight. Bob, a market participant, ended up picking the better offer.

2) I truly question whether H1-B's are lowering the fair market value at the tech companies I've worked at, have had offers from, or have had to counter offers from. Via these three means I've gotten a good handle on what people pay at the top tech companies in SV, and as far as I have been able to determine the supply of H1-Bs who can get through an interview process is so greatly outstripped by the demand for such engineers, there is effectively no impact to salaries. H1-Bs are a very small proportion of SV hiring, and are probably even smaller outside SV, _except_ for the companies that I called out in my initial post on this thread who I agree are abusing the system. Engineers working at those firms aren't showing up in my recruiting pipeline, much less getting offers, so they have zero impact on the market for top engineering talent.

If you're trying to say that the addition of even a single qualified candidate into the hiring pool lowers what we pay a developer, you don't understand how engineering hiring works at tech companies.
I don't understand why someone just doesn't hook up their TV with their computer via HDMI or DP. Is switching sources too complicated for people?

Even the shittiest Dell boxes these days have 2 video outputs, I believe, so you can run 1 monitor + TV. Most laptops have an extra video out port too.

That way you can actually type on your keyboard when you search youtube, unlike typing with god forbid, a remote or an xbone controller (like a console peasant)

By using a $5 cable, pretty much anyone can make a TV 'Smart', and not just smart, but smarter than the ones that are marketed as such.

> Getting a place to live is quite different from getting one as an investment.

Not really. You need a place to live anyway, so why not get one that can also would appreciate in value? Alternatively, getting one that would depreciate can be financially ruinous. So investment consideration is always there, even if they might not be always the primary one.

> Rents are determined by supply & demand.

That's a platitude. But you are thinking of "supply and demand" to narrowly - nobody would purchase a rental property that brings in less money than it takes out, whatever demand is around. There's a price floor for rental price, and that's how much it costs to the owner to get and maintain the property. Short-term, the price can drop below it since selling house takes time, and the market may be not good. Long-term, nobody would keep such asset. People don't do it for fun, they do it for money. If selling is more profitable, they'd do that.

OT question: how would I get into acquiring market data to try my own backtesting strategies ? Is there anyway to "get in" without putting up $5k + for the data ? I'm not green to this, I worked at a prop shop for a year writing market feed handlers. I know the dangers of overfitting data and how hard it is to make money (so I'm not deluded by a fantasy). I want to start out just for fun doing backtesting and see if I can scrape out a (paper) profit, but accessing historical data seems to be the hard part. I dont think online services that offer this would work for me because I want to use intraday data and replay many times with different parameters. I want access to "the whole firehose" if you will.
And big news for me is the existence of that Evergreen tool as an open source project. Looks great! Is anyone else using it? Is there a comparison to Jenkins available?
Yes, the car has a radiator to help cool the batteries. I am a former owner who had a coolant leak due to underbody damage. Unfortunately, even Tesla service wasn't aware that their car had a radiator.
reducing complexity, sounds familiar. I think Gnome did that between 2 and 3.
With proper engineering, 10 second is enough to change the Battery. It's like VMC tool changer.

> The innovation is to find cheaper and more efficient ways to generate and deliver electricity to consumers.

You're repeating the definition of a commodity, which was exactly what I addressed in my first paragraph.

> Both decreasing costs to customers and environmental impact, as well as increasing profit margins for the company.

"Decreasing cost and increasing profit margins" again is part and parcel of commoditization. The environmental impact is what I addressed in the rest of my comment.

Again, the comparison is bad because the only part of the electric industry which is not fully commoditized and which has the potential for non-commodity innovation is the part that is already competitive and much less regulated.

Broadband Internet, on the other hand, is not at all commoditized. There are at least four different things that consumers can care about besides cost per unit, so comparing it to a commodity utility is a bad comparison.
In apps like Netflix and Snapchat key pinning works because they control the server side and client side.

This is one reason why squid has a bump splice feature. Look for the SNI in Wireshark then config squid to let Netflix packets go through untouched. I am not aware of any other way to get Netflix and Snapchat to work in a MITM network. My experience is that you have to create a exception and not intercept. Not 100% sure. YMMV.

It's expensive, no doubt. Since I'm already in $1k for the 1815+, maybe if/when mine dies, I will try to haggle with them for a $600 upgrade instead of RMA'ing the old unit. Might work out better for everyone: I know the new unit doesn't have the faulty Atom chip, I have a faster NAS, and thats one less RMA they have to turn around (I'd still mail back the broken one).
I clarified my point. I don't think they're damaged, the choice of words was in reference to the wording of the original headline.
Just for comparison, your numbers come out to one refill every 52 minutes. If we assume that charging a battery takes about an hour and a half (pretty reasonable based on current charge times for an 85 kWh battery), you really only need 3 batteries total. The battery swap that Tesla originally demoed was done in 90 seconds, and that was obviously for a low-speed, consumer-friendly environment. I don't see why you couldn't do a battery swap in 60 seconds if that was an engineering priority.

I still think this is a pipe dream with current battery tech for other reasons (weight, power density, overheating, etc.), but from a logistics standpoint it might actually be possible.

I can also recommend the Planet Money podcast which covered tshirts. It changed my mind about the whole globalization and child labour story. The textile industry is the first step towards industrialization, and despite the abuses it's a net positive for humanity. More so when you consider the systemic pressure of the charities which work for better conditions.

The only counter argument is global warming: development means more energy usage, which means more warming. Certain groups know this, and would prefer that 80% of the world's population live a Victorian lifestyle so we can keep enjoying ours.

It's clear to me that if our generation can solve the energy problem then the driving factors behind most of the human-world problems go away.

I don't mean it never works, just that is it seldom the case.

I know C++ since the C++ARM days, it is one of the languages I like most despite its warts, teached it to first year students before C++98 happened.

Nowadays I spend my work hours in Java and .NET stacks, but still do occasionally use it, when needed.

I never worked in a company, with exception of my time at CERN, that actually followed C++ best practices.

So yeah, there are lots of companies making good use of C++, as proven by CppCon and C++Now talks, but they seem to be the minority, when you take into consideration the ones whose main business is not selling software.

At least I was pleased to see the BMW presentations at FOSDEM, where they mentioned moving from C to C++14, as a means to improve safety on car systems.
They're possible, but not nearly as common. Back when I was coding C++ full time I spent most of my debugging time chasing down memory leaks and out-of-scope variables. Then in a decade of Java programming I think I had one memory leak.
If anything the Grand Tour was trying to show if affordable electric cars were here yet. They tested a reasonably affordable BMW alongside a traditional engined VW.
Competitive strategy relies largely on game theory. Market entry games, where an incumbent has the option to retaliate or accommodate a new entrant is a classic example.

The key aspect in this case (and many others) is one people usually have a hard time grasping: take in account that your opponent is as rational and intelligent as you are, and can predict your actions just as well as you can predict theirs.

In other words, it's like playing chess against yourself.
I feel that the last round of attention Rosling got in Sweden gave the impression of a man determined to see ONLY good. But I do think this feeling got elevated by everyone else parroting uncritically everything he said taking it as the utter truth, and proof that anyone not thinking the exact same were crazy idiots. I guess it also connects to my aversion for simplification and fear of how easy some people seem to take anything at face value.

That being said I do not think my thoughts above lessens his work. I have deep respect for his vision and what he strived to achieve.

The point is that as the leader of a nuclear power one isn't suppose to joke about certain things -- particularly not a the expense of rival powers one deeply anguished relations with (and which one also happens to have come close to full-on doomsday confrontations with, in the not-so-distant past).

Because if you drive a Tesla hard, battery overheats and it shuts down. Plus once you run out of battery (even if it doesn't overheat) you need several hours to recharge it.

That makes me even more curious:

what is the market share of adwords things (my understanding this is mostly going to be people offering services) that is impacted by AMP? An ecommerce site won't support AMP so won't be affected, and are news sites and blogs going to be using adwords to advertise their news and blog offerings that much?

That's a powerful motivation and I fully stand behind it -- in theory anyway.

But what about in practice? How do we fight exactly? NSA has shown time and again they don't care about ethics or even the law. Hell, they are well-connected enough to make the secret courts legal! You can receive a very particular phone call and/or email right now, and you can spend the rest of your life in a jail if you uttered a word about it.

Large organizations that suck data en masse will change something ONLY if they cannot suck data en masse anymore, it's as simple as that. For that, we need mass education which actually works -- and people who actually care. History is not on our side for now. Most people prefer the short-term dopamine brain injection provided by the current infrastructure and they won't lift a finger to change anything.

I am playing the Devil's Advocate here but it also reflects my beliefs. If I was born f.ex. in 1960 I'd probably be able to join the fight as it was starting. Nowadays the fight seem to be over and we seem to have lost.

As a person born in 1980 and being way too busy to fight for survival and decent human existence well until only 4-5 years ago, I feel I am arriving at the scene way too late.

> This comment in particular seems to imply that government agencies can break e2e encryption.

Much E2E encryption can be broken by government agencies. For HTTPS for instance, the government is a certificate authority accepted by your browser - as well as there having been multiple cases of collaboration with well known CAs to have certs minted for them. In this case there's no need to break RSA. In any case, much of TLS is open to various kinds of breakage (that is not as hard as RSA), and NSA docs showed a number of instances where intelligence agencies would sit behind load balancers and at data center chokepoints in domestic companies to gather information where PKI no longer poses a problem (behind the load balancers being referred to here as "end-to-end").

Basically, there's many ways to thwart "e2e" that isn't cracking 4096 bit RSA. Intelligence agencies do all of them.
Except that those issues were an un-exaggerated mess, originally. The emergency steps they took after launch pretty much proves the point.

This guy is completely correct in his decision. If you want magic, use emacs, don't try to shoehorn it into vim. One of the reasons I left vim for kakoune is that the impulse to turn vim into an IDE has led to scope creep.

Freelancing, for me, rarely involves working from home. If and when you can work remotely depends on the type of work, not your employment classification. This article was written from a very narrow perspective. Even the 100$/hour dream is misplaced. 100$ is nothing for many freelance contractors. I make more. That said, I spend 2/3 of my time on non-paid tasks such as proposals and giving talks at conferences.

Fyi, most lawyers (or their firms) operate under some form of "freelance" as an outside contractor charging by the hour. Recent surveys show that even at "big law" firms only 25% of lawyer time is actually billable hours. The rest, like me, is spent doing all the other things you must to bring in work while maintaining your freelance status.

Excellent book. The first time I started reading it, I couldn't grasp it and stopped after a few pages. But then picked it up again in 2015 and read it in one sitting. It's a wonderful little book. To be honest, I don't think I can sum up how it felt but it was liberating. I remember keeping the book on my chest and getting lost in thoughts about what the purpose of life is. It was really deep, I was on a totally different plane with my thought process. I read it again last year on a flight but couldn't finish it and it didn't evoke the same emotions but it has a very special place in my heart.
