It is worth noting that Jon McNeill (Pres. Global Sales and Service) took the time to post on a user forum in direct response to service delays and spoke with a fair bit of detail about how they are fixing the problem.

One of the reasons for why there are so many used LEAFs on the market, is that a lot of EV early adopters sold their Leaf to buy a Tesla. If you wanted an EV, and could afford it, the specs on the Model S are much better.

This is not really great news for the low-end EV market, though - if the average person isn't interested in a midly used <$10,000 EV, how well will a $35,000 (With no frills - the average vehicle will probably be closer to $40,000) EV sell for?

Keep in mind that after years of making cars, Tesla is still struggling with quality control, supply chains, and repairs.

If we took a time machine, and traveled back to the early 00s, would you have dropped $40,000 on a vehicle made by Kia?

That's roughly where Tesla is today, in terms of maturity. I'm sure it will get better - but it may take a decade.

Doesn't null routing CDNs cause problems? It would make more sense to run your own caching proxy so you rarely make the request to the CDNs and they can't track you. Although doesn't your browser do that already? It's not like you request jquery on every page linking to it via google cdn. You only do it once and then it's cached.
You could also query Excel with SQL; the ODBC driver is part of Windows. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15844633/using-excel-as-a... gives an example of how to use. Not the best database in the world, but sometimes "SQL can save ya".
During the election cycle they openly defended their bias, and have continued to produce extremely biased coverage since then. They are just as responsible as anyone else. If their bias is acceptable, why is bias from Fox or Breitbart unacceptable? How is NYT meaningfully better, if they present an equally biased perspective, just from a side you agree with?

Writer Andrea James asserts that victims of deletion are often a woman or "minority group" member. She blames the deletion problem on "primarily older white male deletionists". If you look up the author you will discover she is "an American trans woman and controversial LGBT rights activist" according to her Wikipedia entry[1].

When an article deviates into social justice topics, red flags go up. First of all, how is it possible to ascertain the identity of the admins; do they have mugshots somewhere on the site? Or is she just guessing based on cultural biases displayed by the deleters?

A debate and discussion about Wikipedia is in order, but this particular article is polluted by the author's personal biases, in my judgement.

Additionally, salary is about more than gaining wealth–it's the indicator of whether my time is well-spent. All else being equal, a company can pay me well because my skill-set in their hands creates value. Contrarily, if a company can't pay me well, presumably my time won't be spent doing something valuable.

My morale is directly tied to a sense of value and pride in my work, which means it's directly tied to salary, and not because I'm greedy.

Don't work–or at least be very careful–at a company that can't pay you well but hopes to someday. Unless things change quickly, it means you're not creating something worthwhile.

You're forgetting that we already sent landers to the Moon before we sent people. We didn't get much out of them. We just didn't have the technology, and the public wasn't going to be excited by a campaign that went like this: "it's too dangerous and expensive to send people to the Moon, so we're going to invest a ton of money into robotics technology so we can send robots there in 40 years!" A mandate to put robots there any faster wouldn't have worked; we just didn't have the technology. We developed a lot of our current computing technology IN the Apollo program itself, so the reason our computer-driven automation is so good these days is because we did send people to the Moon, instead of waiting and hoping for technology to improve.

First-time private debt managers: fundraising has stabilized
Does anyone else find the trend to push diversity into everything disturbing? The incentives around programs like these seem misaligned. No company discusses why there are clear gender divides in jobs, i.e. more women in nursing, more men in tech. Or the reason minority groups fall into the career breakdowns they do. Why are we trying to do anything other than giving all people the opportunity to do whatever they want?

Growing up, I had a small group (3 white males) of extremely close friends, they all grew up to be good people. Going into college, that group grew into 6 people, the 3 new additions were a mix of gender and ethnicity. You know what noticeably changed? Some of the people I spent most of my time with were now female or a different ethnicity. Everyone had a different background, everyone had different experiences. Everyone contributed differently. But everything wasn't suddenly remarkably better because there was diversity.

Diversity doesn't inherently make you better. Hire good people. You want credit for diversity? Work on making sure people who come from poor homes have access to learn difficult topics (STEM fields) without having to deal with the stress of paying for school, housing, food, having a part time job to makes ends meet, getting into massive debt, etc. and work on figuring out why these groups aren't likely to go into tech---why aren't they getting their degrees in tech fields? Until then, I'm going to argue the quotas for diversity that seem to be prevalent in tech are disturbing.

I didn't write this initially, but I know it say's they're donating $3 million a year towards select groups. While that's good, I still find forcing inorganic diversity (meaning the amount of people of an ethnicity in the field being way lower than the ratio you're trying to hire) to be a counter intuitive, random PR shot in the dark approach to trying to be better.

> It makes it so that two programmers separated by some communication gap rapidly find it challenging to write code that works together.

The problem is not within a team, distributed or not. That will work, even for larger teams with some guidance. It's more the application and libraries which the team produces over time. 'Syncing' them with the outside can be hard. But you'll experience that in Java applications which use large frameworks, too. Same in Javascript.

This made it important to use a common Lisp standard and was the reason DARPA called for the creation of Common Lisp. Every DoD contractor brought their own Lisp dialect with their application, which made maintenance and sharing difficult and costly.

The standard could have been about more, concurrency/graphics/..., but much of that was rapidly evolving technology and it made little sense at that time to create a real standard for graphics - later Lisp didn't have enough commercial backing for these things and people were moving on to simpler / more conventional languages like Java with lots of industry support.
Its a NLP problem if your boss/client wants to talk with you. At the end of the day, they don't really "want" to TALK WITH YOU, they want the functionality they get as a result of talking with you.

If there are other ways for them to efficiently get the functionality, they are good with that (as much as they might like you).

Similar to you wanting a pizza. You could call and talk with someone (which you don't really want, it was a necessary step), or you fill out the right form/app.
Either way, you want the result, not the process.

Your boss/client wants the result of your work, not the work process required to get it necessarily.

It seems likely to me that modern deep learning enabled tools will make it easier for your boss/client to get the result they want directly.

Deep learning + more graphically oriented data flow UIs seems like it will heavily erode the need for traditional programming as users will be able to more directly achieve the functionality they are looking for.

Well, I bought my '12 Volt used for under $10,000 with 60,000 miles. At the time I bought (last year), they were usually about $12,000 at a dealer, and trade-in about $8000 for the same car. I got mine from a friend who wanted to trade-in (to get a new Volt... the Gen 2 Volts--starting with 2016--are even better than Gen 1), so we both got a good deal. Fantastic car.

Anyway, there are plenty of used electric cars out there if you're happy with the models that have been out for a few years.
I don't see how that can be right...

The store I work for sells on Amazon and we've listed things that Amazon doesn't sell (and never has sold). Each time we did that and the product sold well for a month or two straight, Amazon would start selling it for less than we were able to (less than the wholesale price we were getting the products for!), forcing us to stop selling it.

If Amazon really makes more when we sell it than when they do, there's no reason they would have undercut us by that much every time.

edit to add: In case it matters, the types of products we this happened with were coursebooks, toys (from foreign manufacturers), and wall and desk calendars.

What made you think I agree with all of their bias? I specifically said they have a bias, just like everyone does. But there is also a huge difference between individual reporter bias, the entire bias of the paper, the bias of the editorial board, etc. Just like WSJ op-ed pages are not the same as the rest of the paper.

I am fully aware NYT screwed up stories, they generally back a globalist tilt, they screwed up the Iraq/WMD story, etc. But I also know they are, overall, committed to the truth. And Fox News and Breitbart are committed to propaganda. To compare the two is an absolute joke.
Not using it, but jumping in to share an anecdote –

I saw the Reason announcement months and months ago and decided to use it as a jumping-off point into the OCaml ecosystem. It took about a week of writing Reason before I realized I was spending so much time reading OCaml (all the libraries were written in it) before I just switched to OCaml proper. Haven't looked back - the syntax takes a few days to pick up, but is hardly the most difficult part of writing a program.

Hopefully they can capitalize on the "Build" and "Share" part of their value prop [0] because "Syntax" appears (to most) to be the least valuable improvement. As a disclaimer, I could be totally wrong, never having worked at a FB-size organization – that onboarding time probably adds up quickly.

Come to think of it: can anyone think of a successful transpiled language that doesn't actually provide new semantics? Coffeescript is the closest thing that comes to mind, but it's dying out as ECMAScript absorbs its most appealing features.

Edit: forgot about Elixir, which seems to be doing quite well – but that introduces new semantics like homoiconicity + macros and protocols.

A $2B investment doesn't really preclude other similar future plays for a $200B company. So I think there's not enough information to draw that sort of conclusion.
The article doesn't present any sound evidence for hypothesis in the title. Manufacturing output has declined sure, but real gross domestic product grew and it is still growing. This means that maufacturing production is replaced by other sectors of economy: mostly services.

It seems logical to expect that in the future we'll have more jobs in services (e.g. tech) and less jobs in manufacturing. This is good for everybody, good for workers, because jobs in services are less dangerous, and good for economy too.
I'm sorry, but that is an extremely shitty position to take.
Ask HN: Do you talk to your competitors?
Early stage startup founder here. Do you generally talk to your competitors? Friends, enemy, or frenemy?

I've been building an app to reduce the noise in human conversations and recently I found a similar app that started a year before me. My instinct is to email the other founder and ask him "Hey how's it going? Can you share what you've learned with me?" but I wasn't sure if putting myself on their radar can be a good or bad idea?

Curious what the HN community think? What's your experience in your "relationship" with your competitive peers?

The average customer is a manager of a small team between 6 and 15 people inside a company of 150-300.

I'm not sure if this year all figures are the same, but when I was car-shopping in November, Colorado state granted up to $6,000 in tax credits for new EVs. Federal tax credit was $7,500. And on top of that, Nissan was adding their own discount for their new Leafs.

So, nobody pays the full price of an EV at the moment. You can currently buy 1-2 year-old, certified Nissan Leafs for less than $13,000.
