To be clear: I do not mean the /k/ sound, but the /x/ or /χ/ (voiceless velar/uvular fricative), which is seldom used in English, except when properly pronouncing the names of Scottish lochs, or the name of J.S. Bach. Maybe it's not even used at all in English, but only in Scottish, but we're getting off-topic already.

If I were consciously trying to pronounce "char" as an English speaker would, I would probably say /tʃɑr/.
There is also the material science of the rolling ball itself. I assume it has similar constraints to high quality bearings.

It seems like he's just running some calculations. Your upset about this seems pretty misplaced. Firstly, he didn't even say he would be buying Tesla cars - just two electric cars. And secondly, he didn't actually claim he had the resources to do any of this, just that he was calculating the ROI on doing it. Which is a figure that i'm interested in, even though I can't afford to buy a solar roof or two electric cars of any variety.
The endpoints in question are not typically used by humans driving a browser, so these objections don't seem applicable.
Less chance of the battery terminals coming into contact with a random conductor and short circuiting, maybe?

I agree. So where is the line between an "off-hand comment" that's not subject to the law, and an appraisal that constitutes a misdemeanor? Is it illegal if you post your comment on Facebook? Or on your blog where you talk about various homes for sale in your neighborhood? Or only when you start charging people money to hear your opinion?

A citizen cannot look at the law and figure out if they're committing a crime, which is why I said the law is unconstitutional.

There will be plenty to discuss if it actually happens, but in the meantime this is just a leak of a possible announcement. That's not substantive and therefore it's off topic here.

"We might make an announcement" is even weaker than "We will make an announcement", a gold standard of weakness to begin with.

Notice the words 'some', 'likely', and 'but' in the first sentence. This article walks back its own headline,
like the previous one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14311073).
When I was in first year (a long time ago), the computer science department was quite new. This meant that courses were held in various different places -- engineering, science, math, etc. Unfortunately, this ultimately meant that I had to pass by the campus pub between every class, with predictable results (drinking age where I lived was 18).

Whether you pass or whether you fail will not have as big an impact as you think now. What is important is understanding how to improve. For me, I staked out a chair in the library with all the foreign students who seemed to live there. I got in to school at 7:30 am and I went home at 5:00 pm. I watched what all those foreign students were doing and copied them.

Later talking with them, I discovered that the reason they lived in the library was because their tuition and living expenses were covered by their extended family. You'd have 20 people sending money that they really couldn't afford just so that one person might get a foreign education and a high paying job to lift everyone out of poverty. If they failed their exams, people in their family would likely die of disease, etc as a result.

So I don't know anything about your situation, but probably it's not as bad as what my friends in the library had to endure. You've got a week. It might not be enough time to salvage first year (like I said, been there, done that). But use that time to understand what you need to do from here. Go to the library. Pick out a seat where you intend to live. Today is a good day to start to see what you can do.
I see everyone having trouble with the bad ones, because the bad ones are fundamentally broken. One big local store wasted a month getting the weight checking to work reliably. Much frustration was caused.

The good ones are relatively friction free. Although my ideal would still be to avoid the checkout altogether and have some kind of smart-scan zero friction pay-as-you-leave system that only required a thumbprint or some other simple auth on exit.
The Real Cause of Gentrification
It's basically the same strategy as Yelp.

When there's a string of bad reviews on Yelp, it's basically Yelp's way of telling the shop owner: "Gee, doesn't it suck that these spammers are bad mouthing your business without actually patronizing it? Well, if you work with us I'm sure we can weed out the spammers and only keep the honest (read: positive) reviews."

In this case, it's: "Gee, it's regrettable that our Zestimate for your house is so low. Only if we had a better source of data. Well, if you work with us I'm sure we can get a better (read: higher) estimate that's more in line with the true value of your house."

The buyers will flock to whichever market maker that advertises the lowest price, in this case Zillow. This in turn forces the seller to choose Zillow as well since that's where most of the buyers are.
The problem of resources, lack of legal rights and the environment will always hold China back. You can't keep poisoning yourselves to death to make a buck and call it progress.

> People in this industry resist change because change is risky

I'm researching a similar field, where risk of change is the biggest barrier to improvement. What have you been doing to combat this / how do you reduce the risk? What makes a user willing to take the jump?
No, they're not. That would be far too heavy. The containers are regular aluminum lined unit load devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_load_device). They are not resistant to explosives.

Some airlines that are particularly sensitive (El Al, for example) have additional mitigations like a reinforced floor between the cargo and passenger compartments or one particular piece of the cargo hold that's more structurally sound for sensitive items, but wide body aircraft do not have "containers that are built to withstand bombs". It's just not practical to do so.
Is is only me who remembered that [1] piece of parody?

I messed around with Javascript based charting libraries a few years ago because I wanted to trend some instrument data at our industrial plant. Something we could leave alone on a dedicated screen in a control room and it would continuously update in real time as the instrument supplied data.

I decided I'd use Javascript for it because I thought it would be simple and have very few dependencies (ideally only a web browser required). Normally we'd use commercial packages. The vendors of our control system software supplied a Microsoft Sharepoint plugin that could do live trending straight out of control system. But required an adobe SVG viewer plugin to be installed on the computer. There were some issues with deploying (needed specific versions of browser etc would have been a nightmare to update absolutely everything. The plant IS people were extremely conservative insisted on LTS versions of everything did not like upgrading software, especially not in somewhere like a control room). So I thought I'd skirt around the issue by using Javascript.

My only other experience writing trending packages was using a very ancient library called "SL-GMS" we used this software to write in house operator guidance screens. It is C++ based but very powerful I didn't want to write a full c++ program just to trend something.

At the time I found the project utterly infuriating. Not so much the trending packages although I hit issues with a few a lot of them used sVG as well :(

The javascript language around the trending package was where I found most issues. Esecpially trying to interface with the data. It was a really really frustrating language to program in.

It was my first time trying to write javascript and I got bitten by absolutely every bug you could think of. So I was probably a bit naive thinking Javascript would be "simple".
Indeed. All developers enjoy converting boring and repeatable task into interesting and complex problems.

It's the essence of programming in a way...

Your argument for it not being important to believe facts has as it's premise certain fact claims, including "one can get quite rich by spreading lies".

In order to even evaluate your argument (aside from just addressing it's logical flaws which are independent of facts), then, I must first bother to believe something about facts (maybe what you claim, maybe the opposite.)
"With equipment" doesn't require the battery to be actually plugged into the laptop. Most laptop manufacturers ship the laptop and the battery in separate plastic bags, and this still qualifies for the exemption.

The rule would make a lot of sense if it requires the battery to be plugged in, but it doesn't.
I don't agree though, I started using emacs because of this one picture. There's way too much info out there if you're just starting to figure out what you want to use for coding.

Thanks for the feedback! I will add this as a bug so that we can fix it.
Not comparable. You often need passport information for online check-in and the entire experience is already tied to legal/immigration requirements. If you're doing online check-in, your goal is to avoid the time cost of agent check-in lines, so it's worth the effort to carefully enter all mandatory data.

This is great. Old dictionaries that fell in the public domain are a great source of data for some poorly endowed language and language pairs.

Indeed. Chinese companies will be dominating a wide array of industries due to their better ability to develop products that comes from having access to local manufacturing and the best supply chains.
Death of the open web. It isn't google per se, it's that there is no knowledge/interest of the things outside of the Facebook garden.
There's a reasonable concern in the air that it's getting more and more difficult due to network effects, but the short answer is the same way you always compete with big companies -- you can be more agile and engage with the user base in a way that big companies just can't because of bureaucracies and unwillingness to take risks.

All that automatic checking sounds really nice to me, but the devil is always in the details. It's a non-starter for me that Jigsaw was going to break so many existing programs.

Would it be possible to leave Java standard libraries alone but make Jigsaw-style modules available for new programs? That wouldn't make Java startup times any faster, which was one of the motivations for Jigsaw, but at least new apps could be architected for safety and consistency.
Solar leases use the 2% inflation rate too as a way to make them look more attractive (as does the solar roof calculator) but in reality electricity hasn't been getting more expensive at that rate.

Just have to say Flash and its an automatic down vote.
As some background, I used to program 3D engines in C++ for 20 years. So I know a little about the subject, and I hated flash back then too, but just out of ignorance.

first point - insecure

Would you rather have a safe that thousands of thieves try to break on a daily basis, or would you prefer that only casual thieves try to break it every once in a while?

I would trust my money to the safe that has been thoroughly tested. Checking for safety is pretty much all the flash team does these days.

inefficient

Its actually as or more efficient than JavaScript. Where there lots of crap flash ads and programs? Sure, but that is because Adobe made it easy to create flash apps.

I am writing a 3D engine in Flash that displays and updates millions of polygons at 60 frames per second. I can't do that in JavaScript yet.
Sharing power via net metering is better (for the environment) because there's no conversion loss from charging a battery.
And when china achieve scale on something with good quality - game over man, game over.

Why do you think that will happen? The chinese labour force is rapidly shrinking, lower end manufacturing is starting to move south, and they've just figured out ball point pens. I don't see a bright future for them at all.
A lot of people think this way, Zuck included, and that's what makes the decision in India so interesting and, at least for me, correct.

FB does not categorically improve the quality of life for its users. FB provides connectivity to others... this is good. But if the cost is making you think the world is askew from what it really is because all you see is what FB's feed shows you... well that's a steep price that nobody, even the poor, should be asked to pay.
Reality Enhanced Thoughts
I guess my point is that there are some crews where all their work is remote and subject to spotty cell service. It all depends on the kind of work the company is doing. So, for some companies, it's not a corner case at all, it's a factor in the primary use case.
I'll bite...

No, we are not talking about minimum wage earners as very few can own homes. They are not in the solar roof market. The context is home owners.

In the US the average new car cost is $33,560. A $35,000 electric car is within reason and available on the market.

A roof is a 30 year investment. Cars are owned for much less time and auto transport is likely to transition to electric over the next decade or two. That means that in 10 years, my current gasoline cars will be worn out (I put a lot of miles on them) and I'll need to replace them anyway, and there are many advantages to electric cars.
Thanks you, I was only aware of the problems raised with Cooks 2013 paper. I was not aware that new research backing it up. You have changed my opinion.

But I would say that it's worth noting there is criticism of the original paper http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/11/4/048....

But as I said you've changed my mind, the 97% figure seems to be accurate.
Google's Seq2Seq came 3-4 months after the NMT paper.
> It's funny that this is obvious to someone like myself who has spent virtually no time dealing with real estate, let alone people heavily entrenched in the process.

I think you're completely missing the point of the tool and the last sentence in OP's post... They're getting it wrong on purpose to get signups.

I really like the Zestimate tool (if it's accurate), but it's pretty sleazy for them to use it this way. Most people won't research the market price for every house they see, and as long as the Zestimate is reasonable, they'll assume the sales price is too high.
Hi Mizza, there is no editing on public projects that are shown as demos. And because drag & drop is editing it is disabled there. We have a slack integration already :) It's a good advice, we will see how things go.
I don't understand what you're advocating.

So the 1% have a different rational calculus -- you're saying it's simply wrong for them to discuss these things in a public forum, simply because it would make people with less money feel bad?

It's not like people are out here bragging about how much money they earn while screwing the little guy, they're just having a topical discussion about how much this product makes sense (or not).
> "People in blah also can't understand how we spend half of their monthly income on some organic blah drink.", qaq

That's pretty clearly a true statement. Qaq isn't claiming he is in this market. Just deriding the oft-expressed belief by people who are not in a market that said market does not exist.

> "$2000 earned by the cars while not used by owner", palakchokshi (it's clarified elsewhere in the comments that that's $2000 per month)

He's just running calculations? I don't understand what the problem with this is.

See my prior edit wrt the 3rd one.
That really depends on what kind of MVP it is and what you're bringing to the table. Some startup ideas can be hacked together quite simply by reusing a few existing services, tools and a bit of programming. Others may require some prototyping and fund raising (e.g. hard tech). Whatever it may be, the MVP is a hack and experiment to prove product-market fit. It's the tiniest, minimal effort you can expend to build a test to prove that there are real people who desperately need something you could provide them.

An MVP is more marketing and sales than it is developing. Building your MVP should consume a fraction of your time and resources compared to the effort you'll spend trying to get people to see your hack and validate it. It's more market research than product development. You just want enough proof there's a business opportunity to continue spending time, money and energy on it.

For software startups, there's a few patterns you can employ to build an MVP. One of them is the Wizard of Oz test, where you provide a facade of a real product but do all the hard work behind the scenes manually (until you can automate the rest of it). Another is piggybacking on other existing services and solutions, modifying them to your specific business domain (e.g. form builders, communication services, integration services, open source, BaaS, etc). Then there's the launch page strategy, that attempts to lure sign ups or "beta subscriptions" to show demand without building anything more than a few prototype designs and a landing page.

It seems more compelling to just build it from scratch, but researching options and planning a more clever solution may save lots of development and money down the road. Treat it like a science experiment with incremental solutions and gather as much feedback as possible.

There's quite a bit written about building MVPs. Here's some resources and inspiration:

I agree, Sounds need some work! You can stop them from the notifications popover.
Ah, the doctor excuse. If I remember correctly, lawyers were the other reason to consider bankruptcy as the way we do criminals.

Those 2 areas where people were declaring bankruptcy are licensed professions. Simply put it would be easy to put a licensure check to say (If Bankruptcy is granted for bills related to school for license, it is rescinded until paid determined by judge.)

But anyways, the rates of bankruptcy were minuscule for everyone. But no matter, fuck us all over. Where does the school have to have skin in the game, when they push substandard college or lie about graduation and placement? Removing bankruptcy protectionism would greatly help the market correct. Because that's all this law does. And we all see how it affexta scholastic higher ed spending.
That's not how it worked where I grew up in Upstate New York. The assessed value was a number way below market value, but assessed values among different houses pretty much differ by the same proportions as the actual market values. I do not know why it is the case.
I will add that to our backlog.
Not necessarily. The kernel could map the page into kernel space and mark it copy-on-write so the application can't modify the kernel page. Then the application doesn't have to care when the kernel is finished with it.

In practice, it's faster to copy the page up front than mess about with the page tables and TLB shootdowns, doubly so if you end up copying the page to break the COW anyway!
Your electricity is probably a lot cheaper in Washington also and I'm assuming they have local rate information to factor in. Electricity is very expensive in California especially if you use PG&E since they use a tiered rate structure that goes from .12 - .50 cents. And very little of your usage is actually in that 12 cent tier for most people. In states like that I would imagine your solar roof could potentially pay for itself.
Thank you! That means a lot to us! Attention to detail is a core value for us :)
Then you go back and refactor the code to pull out the interface! I so hate interface abuse.
Not true. CAP_NET_RAW is on by default: https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/oci/defaults_linux....

Otherwise no one could ping from a container.
Sometimes "where you can have multiple parts fitting the same socket" isn't quite as you initially imagined it.
Seems off. Seattle gets 1/3rd the sunlight of California.
I hardly think you can blame inexperience when people have been treating "program to an interface, not an implementation" as axiomatic for years.
> It is often used by test code, for example, that wants to use a fake version of something the library provides.

Which, by the way, is generally preferable to mocking.
>A lot of young engineers like myself want to walk in on the first day and start shaking things up.

That's true in a lot of places but not really in California, where there's a lot of customers for solar. I don't need to go into the reasons why. It's California.
