If you design car doors so they no longer work the way people expect it you have to compensate for that somehow so that in an emergency situation if the door is not blocked or otherwise deformed so that it could still be opened it can be opened without instruction or delay.

What ever method you choose should satisfy those conditions. If you can't come up with a viable alternative to big red handle (which is the accepted norm for emergency only door openers the world over) then maybe you simply should let go of your fancy door design.

But other manufacturers than Tesla seem to be able to make this work just fine so at a guess I'm not arguing against human nature, merely against you. Note that making a car door work has been a solved problem since roughly the 1930's.
I loved the idea of Yik Yak, but every time I tried to start a semi-intelligent conversation I was downvoted to death. And this was smack in the middle of MIT. I guess the people I was hoping to interact with was exactly the opposite of the actual user base.

It would be potentially interesting if the upvote/downvote thresholds and ranking took into account your Facebook or other social graph, and then extrapolated to other people that might find your posts interesting.

Yik Yak could have been Waze. Yik Yak could have been a tool for students to ask questions during class when they didn't understand what the professor said. But it wasn't.
I was not familiar with the product and after reading article I question if I am understanding this right. This press is only for their custom bag of pulp ?
Based on seeing what is inside the bags, most of the work is already done by the processing equipment at the factory, making the press the least important part of the process.
Agreed. As much as I love Norway it seems to me only wishful thinking could explain the idea that such a small market could "lead the electric car revolution".
That's a bit of a broad brush statement. An IAP could be any one of:

* An upgrade of some sort (often ad removal)
* In-game currency (which may or may not be a defacto requirement)
* A tip to the developer with no added functionality

Neither of those carries an implication for the pricing status of the title. It's all context-dependent.
Yep, trusting every submission initially is fine, and we do use tricks like you suggest to flag suspicious accounts. For instance if you submit "11111" then "11112" then "11113" on up through "99999" (I've seen it happen!) then we might disqualify you from the raffle. :-) (We have better heuristics than that too.) But having the phone send some kind of extra proof would still be helpful. To point is just to make location spoofing "hard enough," not impossible. Also it is a small enough event that fraud isn't a true problem right now, so this is more just a fun mental exercise for me at this point. Still, good to be prepared!
Everyone affected was to blame for their own vulnerability, to the extent they relied on OpenSSL.

I worked for a company that needed to push out an out-of-cycle patch for Heartbleed. We were building a virtualization product that included a OpenSSL and other free-software libraries in the core product, plus an entire Linux distro to support our install-this-on-dedicated-hardware product. We made the business decision that we could reuse Ubuntu and not develop our own operating system and control plane. Others, like Microsoft, made the decision to implement it all themselves. Others, like VMware, took a decision sort of in the middle.

We got a significant amount of functionality for free - and a significant amount of risk for free. Whatever code worked for our needs, we could profit from. Whatever code introduced security vulnerabilities in our application (and it was not all upstream security vulnerabilities, since we intentionally designed our system to anticipate that local root exploits would be easy), we took responsibility for. That was part of saying that this was our product, and not just a shell script for building a similar product on your own.

Exactly. Even moving data between services in AWS or Azure can become costly if you aren't managing it properly. Moving that data to another cloud provider (images and video) would be a tough sell considering that both AWS and Azure have similar services already.
> If you can afford Blue Apron, you can afford to buy 3x as much food and have control over your ingredient choice by just going to your goddamn supermarket.

If you ignore time costs, sure; pre-measured ingredients in the quantity necessary for the recipe provided is a huge time saver.

Yes, it creates waste, but it's not without utility.
I think it depends what aspects of "cooking" you value.

Some people really enjoy the meal planning part. Some people really enjoy picking out fruits and vegetables at the store. But others don't like planning out meals for the whole week and find grocery store trips stressful and frustrating (maybe their local store is incredibly busy). Blue Apron has a value proposition for those in the latter category who also enjoy the part of cooking that starts once you've got the grocery bags in your kitchen.
This would be much more in-line with the world average.

I went from graphics programming into content creation! Structuring written stuff is kind of hard if there's no strict 'grammar' behind it. That's why screenplays might be of interest to you. There have been kind of elaborate attempts to come upon a structure in detail, even with help from software - stuff like Dramatica, and to a lesser (much) extent Save The Cat. They try to catch form of the structure (not formula).

If you're interested in writing, want to write, or just want to talk about it every now and then, hit me up via email. It's in my profile.
It is interesting, having lived in the Bay Area pretty much my entire life, spending more time up in what one might call "red country" -- rural Northern Sierra Nevada mountains (still in CA) -- the attitudes around conceal carry (and firearms in general) is significantly different.

A $8 tortilla press can do the job as well or better than this over-engineered piece of junk.

A train is probably the optimal situation for deterring a large group with only a handgun, assuming you have a chance to draw before they swarm you.

Long straight lines, plenty of bodies in a row, ~10-15 rounds, and you could probably cut that 60 number down into the 40's surprisingly quickly. Depends on how crowded the train is in general though.
> I know that was an issue with earlier generation USB connectors

Standard big USB plugs are supposed to have a design life of 1,500 plugging cycles - though I've never had one die, and never heard of any die.

Mini-USB are designed for 5,000 cycles, Micro-USB have a design life of 10,000. Ditto, only ever breaks if you try to bend and snap it off deliberately.

USB-C is also supposed to be able to last 10,000 cycles (which ought to be enough as a minimum spec - plugging in thrice a day for a decade).
Correct. You can't use anything else with it. There's a QR code scanner where the bag sits, meaning the press won't even operate unless there's a bag with a recognized (and validated via internet connection) serial number.
The Marissa Mayer one is the one that really stands out to me. A lot of people seem to think that she was brought in to save Yahoo; no one on the inside was thinking that. Everyone understood that Yahoo was hopeless and they were headed for a sudden collapse. Mayer was brought in to rescue whatever shareholder value she could and as long as shareholders got something back they would be willing to split some of it with her.
Need to get back to the rates we had following the Internal Revenue Act of 1954. 51% corporate rate, that's what made America great.
There's already a mechanism in HN for not seeing comments you don't want to see. You can collapse them.
Thanks. The gross numbers depend on far more than tax policy; I'm not sure how meaningful they are. The economy tends to grow no matter what the policy, and remember that the US was coming out of what was, at that time, the worst recession since WWII. That said, I don't have evidence at my fingertips.

(Also, I'm not sure what to think of that website: Their anti-government bias seems to show through and their understanding of economics is poor. For example, the following fails basic microeconomics and pricing: the entire U.S. tax burden really falls on individuals. That's because corporations pass on their tax burden to families in the form of higher prices or lower wages. / Corporations must maintain their profit margin to satisfy stockholders, so they pass on any additional corporate taxes to consumers or workers. If only my company could just set whatever price and wages it wanted, and consumers and workers continued to buy and hire on at the same rate!)
This does not affect developers, only marketing and blog sites that promote apps and link to the app store.
If it actually made juice then it would be an interesting product. Instead it squeezes packages with pulp and juice to force the juice out.

That's not a juicer. That's an inefficient, over-engineered sieve.

> windshield washer fluid that is used? I got through many litres every winter

You must be Canadian ;) I'm an expat of sorts and once went on a ski trip (from New Jersey to Mont Tremblant in Quebec) with a friend and his parents in January many years ago.

Long story short, we discovered shortly after hitting an ice storm (and finding the wiper fluid reservoir empty) in upstate New York that the wiper fluid reservoir in the car had a large crack in it such that after filling it would only work for about 5 minutes.

This ended up requiring someone to manually fill a cup with wiper fluid and throw it out the window onto the windshield every few minutes for several hours. That being a terribly inefficient delivery system, we went through many litres in one trip!

Not the most fun road trip I've ever been on, but the skiing was great when we (eventually) got there!
I don't get people's irrational hate for just the trash they personally throw away. Most of your environmental footprint is based on being in a rich country, driving a car, flying on a plane and consuming food period. The amount of paper and plastic you throw away into your trash can is a rounding error. The fact that people complain about too many napkins and for take out food and how to recycle it is silly to me.
The logical solution isn't to ignore or remove the karma system, but to use it better.

New-car glut weighs on prices, profits
For like 95% of apps the $99 yearly developer fee more than covers the storage and distribution. A terabyte of data transfer is about $100 on S3, most apps are a few MB at most and will never reach that many downloads in a year, even with re-downloads and updates.

The fair thing is anything lower than what it is now. Distribution costs have dropped dramatically, and user trust has increased so accepting credit cards on your own really isn't as huge of a deal as it was ten years ago. Visibility is now zero from the App Store as well which was also a benefit back in the early days.
> 700bucks for abag squeezer? Something went terribly wrong.

It's far too early to tell.

Yes it is expensive but remember there are plenty of wealthy people (hint: early adopters) in this world willing to pay for convenience. If you can show me a cheaper bag squeezer that looks equally good in my kitchen and is as convenient then that would be something. But right now there isn't one.

It reminds me very much of Nutribullets or Thermomixes which were both overpriced in the beginning until competitors came in to the market.
I started coding after 40, as I needed the skill set to do my other job properly (molecular biologist). Love it, with the added advantages my job is more secure and higher paying.

Don't think I'll be stopping any time soon.
What do you attribute the success of Bruno Mars too?
Any objective justification for that or just your own bias?
I hope it does. If doctors are replaced it's because medical care has improved beyond their capabilities. How could you not want better medical care?

But you could also pour juice out of a bottle, which is effectively free, and takes approximately 0 minutes.

I don't care about a more efficient bag squeezing method, that there's a bag at all is a bizarre and useless distinction.
There's a business idea in your comment.
Have you done a double-blind test with some top-brand non-frozen orange juices?
This is a nice reading.

The only problem I see with anything inhaled (that is to some limited extent promoted here) is that it without compromise contaminates the surrounding air and forces the the bystanders to involuntarily to consume the byproduct.
No but that is cool looking. My former business partner had a tangentially related idea. He wanted a mouse that copy-pasted across different computers.

Yep. Can get them as a subscription, each one has a QR code so that the juicer knows it is juicing an OEM pack, and is farmer GMO blah blah blah.
And kill a couple of innocent commuters with your ricochets and misses. Or did you think that your ability to tell the 16 year old that wasn't part of it from the 16 year that was when you're in a hurry mowing people down was still functioning? Life isn't a FPS.

I hope that if I'm ever in the subway and it's robbed that you are not in the same car, same for any other dirty Harry wannabe's. Better to hand over my wallet and cell phone than to end up with a bullet from a well meaning bystander.

I wonder what a Smalltalk-like environment would look like if had been developed in the 2000s instead of the 1970s.

If you could marry up the advantages of text/files, live code, visual layouts, data visualization and perhaps machine learning in the future, maybe you could come up with a huge jump in productivity and being able to handle complexity.
Hoooooly Cow! I think that thread could be the example of astro-turfing. Just, wow, the brazenness of it all is really astounding.
> A train is probably the optimal situation for deterring a large group with only a handgun, assuming you have a chance to draw before they swarm you.

It's ideal for deterring if you can draw before they enter. It's ideal for gunning down attackers (and, if you aren't an excellent shot, bystanders) in great number if you draw once they are on the train, but successful deterrence in that case requires no one to panic and fight when confronted in a crowded situation with limited exits, which is highly unreliable.

You seem to be thinking that mobs are rational, so that an optimal killing ground is also an optimal deterrence setting.
It gets even better (Mylan is in my hometown), from Wikipedia [1]:

"In 2007..the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Bresch had claimed to have an MBA degree from West Virginia University, but the university disputed that. The university subsequently awarded her an EMBA despite her having completed only 26 of the required 48 credits. Her father was governor of the state of West Virginia at the time.

In the ensuing controversy, the university announced in April 2008 that it would rescind Bresch's degree. Michael Garrison, WVU President at the time, was reported to be "a family friend and former business associate of Bresch" and a former consultant and lobbyist for Mylan. After a faculty vote of no confidence, Garrison and several university officials subsequently resigned."

> These systems are observed (both in reality and in simulation) to be consistent with being ergodic.

How could one possibly conclude that system is ergodic from observation? I thought ergodicity is a property of infinite time averages. Globular clusters do not exist indefinitely in the same macrostate, they lose stars as they evolve.
You’re right, however this article is not talking about deployment tools. It's about setting up a serverless/lambda runtime pipeline between AWS and Google Cloud. As far as I know, Spinnaker does not do anything for your application runtime.
Also check out her excellent talk (and blog posts!) on engineering environments and practices, and how they affect diversity. It was an eye opening talk for me at the time because it made me pay attention to practices I knew were broken, but didn't really understand the scale of the effects of.

It's not a "nice thing to do" and it's not really a moral issue. It's simply the point that if the security of your thriving business depends on a software component you did not author, you're obliged to do everything you can to ensure that component is safe for deployment, and for open source components one thing you can easily do is contribute to development.

There's really no way around this; it's a straightforward practical problem.
Many juicers have two stages: Shredding and juice separation via pressing or centrifugal force.

The centrifuge approach works surprisingly well, the pulp that comes out of a good one is quite dry, all the juice is gone. It yields a lot more juice out of a carrot than you'd expect.

This "press" simply does the last step in juicing. The hard work of shredding is already done.
I love how comments were apparently disabled after that, like they knew the apotheosis was already reached.
With all due respect, these might be good examples for people trying to learn algorithms and data structures, but it's not a good example of Pythonic code. Here's an example of one of the group projects in our course, that implements a "Pythonic" Linked List, relying on Iterators and Magic methods: https://github.com/rmotr-group-projects/pyp-w2-gw-linked-lis...

(switch to the branch master if you don't want to see the solution and want to give it a try by yourself).

In any case, if OP is the owner of the repo, good job compiling all that code together.
That would be interesting, considering methane is a surplus gas in landfills etc.

I tested Common Lisp. SBCL seems to be exponential while Clozure CL is not.

However it should be noted that it is non portable to do globbing in Common Lisp, so I expect most users implement it using something CL-FAD or OSICAT and CL-PPCRE, and CL-PPCRE is efficient.

1 quart of white vinegar = 80 cents for a supermarket brand. If you want organic Sprouts white vinegar it's $1.80. If you need something like rice wine vinegar, ~$2 for 12oz. Anyway, the point is that they must be making a huge mark up even if they charge 50 cents for 1 oz bottles of vinegar.

Don't people poach eggs? You need vinegar for that. Boil a pot of water, two capfuls of vinegar, crack 2 eggs into something like a 3/4 cup measure, turn heat off wait for water to stop aggressively boiling, lower the measuring cup of eggs so it partly submerges, tip it to empty the contents (you don't want to drop the eggs in from altitude), lid on the pot, set a timer for 5 or 6 minutes. Play around with the time. It'll take less time if you have a stove with residual heat: glass or coils. It'll take more time if you have gas or induction.

If you do it a bunch of times, you can figure out when they're done the way you like them just be jiggling the pot and seeing how the eggs move under water.

The fresher the egg the more it will hold together. If it flattens out on the bottom, oh well some eggs do that even with vinegar. You'll get over it.

Next start making homemade bread for your eggs. And now you'll be willing to pay $6 for really good eggs from chickens that eat insects. OK I'm carried away now...

USB-A is defined for 1500 plug cycles, USB-C like micro USB-B for 10 000. The pins of the cable have to press on the pins of the plug, so the pins of the cable wear out instead of the ones of the plug (sorry if this is a bad description, I am not a native english speaker). Replacing a cable is much cheaper than replacing a device/repairing a plug.
