That safety question is where my interest lies, because it seems completely at odds with the narrative the UAW is pushing. If the safety rate is truely higher in the Tesla factory and the compensation workers receive is equal to what auto workers in other factories receive, what does the UAW have to offer to Tesla factory workers by unionizing?

I would also point out that the UAW has been on a bit of a anti-Tesla public relations blitz lately, which is something that creates public pressure on Tesla, but doesn't seems like it would affect the workers at all. If the conditions in the factory are really that sub-standard the workers themselves would know, they wouldn't need newspapers to tell them that.

Chelsea didn't incite the revolutions. She only released the information. The information that was previously hidden was found to be egregious enough for others to incite the violence. That's enough reason for me to believe she was right that people had the right to know.

Yeah, I'd have preferred the Arab Spring to be resolved more peaceably myself. It's not under Chelsea's control nor mine how that played out after the information was released. It's difficult to blame the person who released true information for the impact of the information. The content and the creators or subjects of the content are to blame for the revolutions. Chelsea just let the rebels and revolutionaries know what they had every right to know.
Initial thoughts:

1. First heading text past the title bar has a typo. Yes, this matters. If you can't even get a second look at your website copy, did you get a second look at your product? 2. The domain was registered a month ago. 3. Like others mentioned, absolutely zero product information, and no information about whether they support the many industry standards that small businesses might actually need a security scanner for (are they wasting their money?). 4. The root domain only hosts http and not https, and the www site hosts both http and https, and none seem to advertise HTTP security headers. Considering this is a security product that takes your money: wtf? 5. The IPs used to host the site do not have reverse records. Again, wtf. 6. Leaks version and OS information of their DigitalOcean droplet.

Honestly, just paying a kid in high school the $20 to run Nmap and a webapp vuln scanner on your site might be a better investment.
Yes, they are, they fought for and won that right for representation, the Tesla workers are welcome to do the same.

However, being unionized is not a forgone conclusion, generally (but not universally) companies EARN a union thru systemic long term mistreatment of employees.
Nice catch. A long time ago the services on the backend were killed by a special URL. And someone found it, and it wasn't filtered by the front end. And of course someone tried to use it, but it never returns since it kills the service, but their client retried ... it was a lot of "what the heck is happening" going on until SRE figured it out and then they immediately patched the front end and the anomalies stopped. It is too bad the person who caused it didn't file for a bug bounty like this person did, they probably would have had something to show for their efforts besides "hey look at this funny thing you can do, oh wait it doesn't do it any more."

That's why workers need a union. If there's an assembly line station that's too hard, that's a union grievance. There's a way to work out a solution, with the worker being in a strong position. Happens all the time in a union plant.

Expecting someone to lift tires overhead for mounting on a production line is way out of date. Here's how it's done in a Ford plant. First, they show the old way, where they had a platform at just the right height to roll the wheel into position. The worker then pushes it onto the lugs and hub. Then, they show the fully robotized operation.[1]

Here's an older, manual system, but with a counterbalanced lifting aid to do the heavy part.[2] Simple setups like that are routine. If anybody is lifting anything heavy on an assembly line, you're doing it wrong. There are many simple ways to fix that. To see tires lifted entirely by hand in an auto plant, you have to go back to this famous Chevy film from 1936.[3] That was before the big GM strike.

Tesla is still learning how to run an auto plant. Tesla isn't as good at this as they pretend to be. Their head count in Fremont is quite high for the number of vehicles produced.

Well, I am huge fan of Elon and the companies, but I guess that Michael Sanchez's situation of working with his hands above his head all day, resulting in two herniated disks, is really sad. But how else can the work get done?

I guess most people here are going to say that he's pushing his workers too hard, and that they're losing faith. I think it's just much more difficult than people appreciate to build a successful car company, and some people will have their lives spent building it. I think that even if 1 in 100 employees flat out died because of Tesla, the company and Elon should carry on without slowing down anything. It's just too important that we transition out of a carbon economy.

Besides, I don't think conditions are really that bad. This is obviously a smear piece indicated by mentioning the Model X delays in TFA - What does that have to do with workplace injuries? Nothing, but they're trying to bring down Elon and his companies.

Workplace injuries are bad, but Elon is a poppy that's 100 times taller than the rest. I think they're trying to cut him down more than anything. May the old-school unions be perpetually denied any access to his factories.
Hi. I'm the founder of ScannerSec. We run Vunlerabilty scanners : Infrastructure and Web applications. It starts with a port scan, and then it tries to detect vunlerabilities ( CVE and others). It is like as a simplified version of Nessus or OpenVAS.
Yeah, it means access for a lot of people who would otherwise, for many reasons, not have any access at all. Access, also, to many items that are not ordinarily on public display. It is true that seeing an art object as a physical object can enhance your understanding of it in a way that a photo of it doesn't, and I don't think that archives like this will replace that experience. But many can still benefit from it.

IMO, just saying vulnerability scanner is not enough. A sample report would help understand the service better.

Sometimes founders get booted from their company because they can't handle transition of the company processes from the bootstrapping phase to the run stably long-term phase. I think the transition is still to come for Musk's companies, but somewhere in there is a transition from a workforce of people attached to the vision and willing to give up something for it at some level vs needing to run a company with regular staff running for more nominal exchange of mutual benefit.

People can't live their lives on vision alone - even if that is what Musk is living for, he is in a far better position to defer his personal life/finances for the long term payoff than are his employees.
Car models move upscale as they get older and newer models slide in under it. The old 80's Honda Accord is physically smaller than today's Toyota Civic. The spot that was occupied by the Civic is now occupied by the Fit. A 1996 Honda Civic hatchback was about 2600lbs which is the same as a 2016 Honda Fit.

What policy has Trump enacted that demonstrates the current administration is (functionally) far right? The difference being of course that it went beyond rhetoric of a political (marketing) campaign and beyond the checks-and-balances of the US government?

If it is purely a matter of some random emotional tweet Trump made or some journalist filling in the gaps between what Steve Bannon may or may have not meant when he said x, then I will remain unconvinced that the US government is at any risk of being comparable to 1930-40s era fascist regimes.

The most important lessons in coding have little to do with coding and a lot to do with people - code is written for people not the computer.

The more you know the more you will come to understand you don't know much; that is both good and bad (Dunning Kruger vs Imposter Syndrome).

Every time you think you are the best in the room, look around and ask yourself are you overestimating your knowledge. If you are still the best in the room, maybe it is time to find a room with smarter people.

Not every solution requires code / technology.

The best code is easy to read and even easier to delete.

Give your code to the most junior member of your team - if they struggle with it you need to make it simpler.

There are many many lessons like these around - the single most important one - always be open to new ideas no matter how much they oppose your current beliefs; strong opinions, weakly held.
You can't pay a staff scientist $20k a year like you can a graduate student. The article mentions that. I don't see the situation changing unless the supply of graduate student labor dries up.

I used extensions with multiple receivers for adding context inside data-structures.

Example: I have a layout-algorithm for a grid that takes sections:

interface Section {
val title: String
fun something()
}

Then I have the grid-algorithm. Inside I store expanded/collapsed state for each section. When I use a member-extension with both receivers I can write that pretty conveniently:

class GridLayout(sections: List<Section>) {

/* the state */
val expandedSections = mutableSetOf<Section>()

/* the extensions I need in this context */
val Section.isExpanded get() = this@Section in expandedSections

fun Section.expand() = expandedSections += this@Section

fun compute() {
...
if (!section1.isExpanded) {
section2.expand()
}
...
}

}
This is a really crowded space - there are a lot of small business offering 'managed' vulnerability scans, so you will struggle to differentiate yourself. Having said that, you seem to be a good job of differentiating yourself in a rather bad way from those other businesses:

Most other businesses tell you what vulnerability scanner(s) they use.

Most other businesses offer a free scan (or partial scan), so you can get an idea of what is provided.

Most other businesss show sample reports, so you can get an idea of what is provided.

Dammit, every other business tells you something useful about the product being offered, and absolutely tell you who is offering it.

I'm sorry if this is all negative, but... come on?! This honestly looks like some chancer has thrown this up in their lunch break. There isn't even anything to tell me who 'ScannerSec' is - I seriously can't even tell if this is some kind of scam to extort HN users.
2016 Ford Taurus SHO has an Ecoboost 2.5L engine with twin turbo and I chipped it and added high performance intake/exhaust. ~550hp, 25 mpg. My beater from 98 was worse on mileage at 150hp. Strange.
What the heck do you need all that horsepower for? You got the speed limit anyway.
If you'd make the cars lighter and put in a 100hp engine you'd end up using half as much gas. Yikes!
There is no decision made yet and no passed law. Let's wait until the government actually proposes a law to parliament before getting out the pitchforks? The law has been in the works for years and there were a few reports in the press from the beginning. It's part of the coalition agreement. It feels like the interior minister mentions the idea in every second speech. Even this Zdnet article says "It has long been known". Almost no law gets much attention at that stage and many ideas never get proposed to parliament at all.

The federal government plans to propose an amendment to a law parliament currently works on. This is well known and the members of parliament already used that in their debate. Whoever claims this is a "secret proposal through the back door" either:

- knows nothing about usual parliamentary procedure and hasn't followed that topic before at all, or

- tries to use dishonest arguments directed at people in the former group. Netzpolitik.org (that leaked the current draft) falls into this category. Their editor-in-chief debated this "oh so secret law without public debate" on public stage with the interior minister just last week

> The interesting part is that the executives are able to monitor your devices if you ever had anything to do with law no matter what kind of.

This is not true. The (leaked but still unofficial) proposal allows judges to authorize hacking devices to monitor communication in the cases where they currently could authorize tapping your analogue phone.

If that law is passed judges can also authorize to hack devices to access stored content in cases where they currently can authorize installing a bugging device in your home.

Both only apply for a specific list of crimes. While I still personally think that this proposal goes to far, it's nowhere near applying "if you ever had anything to do with law no matter what kind of".
"What do you get in the place for this lower efficiency? Are American cars that much heavier? More comfortable? Faster?"

I cannot speak for everyone, but as someone who lives in the US and also spends a lot of time in Europe, there is a very big lifestyle difference at play here.

First, I have a five person family (wife and three kids) and you[1], statistically, as a European, have 1.6 children - and as a highly educated HN reader, probably less (on average).

Second, Americans move around a lot more than most europeans do. On the occasions that I have lived in Europe, I always spoke of how interesting it was that we could just "drive to St. Petersburg" or "just drive to Transylvania" or whatever, and otherwise smart and interesting european friends would look at me like I was a crazy person. It is very, very rare to meet Europeans who drive across multiple countries for leisure.[2]

So when I drive five people, weighing over 500 lbs total and accompanying luggage the equivalent of one Europe away and over two mountain ranges[3] I am going to need something more than a lawnmower engine. This is not an edge-case - this is something we do multiple times per year.

That being said, there are some very interesting cultural differences in the other direction ... once while in Denmark I saw a decent sized horse trailer being hauled by a nice, new Audi A8. Basically 100% of the driving public in the US would have considered this a gaping tear in the fabric of reality.

I think you might be confused somewhat...PostgreSQL doesn't have "a vendor". The history of Postgres starts at UC Berkeley and now has the PostgreSQL Global Development Group which is a mixture of contributors both community and corporate sponsored:

https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/

Of that group, both 2nd Quadrant and CitusDB are represented...so in a way you could say their support is "by the vendor". Not to mention EnterpriseDB which also has support options.

> we can't use CitusDB when it is not supported by other vendors for use with their products.

CitusDB is no longer a fork, it's an extension...this means so long as your other vendors products support Postgres, they support CitusDB. More over, CitusDB itself will sell you an Enterprise package.

> The point still remains that after all these year PostgreSQL's scalability story is still a mess.

If by mess you mean specifically there is no knob and dial arrangement in the core of Postgres I would agree.

But within the core of PostgreSQL there are primitives which make scaling approachable (I myself am working on a data ingestion process that utilizes table partitioning and hand rolled sharding for PostgreSQL).

And there are now a plethora of extensions and tools provided by core contributors such as 2nd Quadrant and CitusDB to offer somewhat out of the box solutions and they even come with support.

PostgreSQL is not the right tool for every job and the replication/clustering area has been a a sore spot for Postgres in the past. But it certainly isn't bereft of options now...and the inclusion of logical replication in this beta is only the first step in bringing these options closer/into the core.

Ha! Probably, honestly. I've never been too great at thinking way ahead.
> It is like as a simplified version of Nessus or OpenVAS

Do you mean you've written your own scanners (a rather large task), or that you're using Nessus and OpenVAS and your service provides simplified access to these?
Most of the time I would assume there's always someone you can work with for this.

Finding other programmers or like minded people is the hardest part it seems for me.

Gonna have to split the difference there IMO to grow the ranks. I am somehow reminded of the article complaining that retirees are hoarding cash instead of spending because they fear the future.

How about constructing a society where I feel I should work for those 6-figures because it will bring a better future rather than compelled to chase 7-figures because the future is @#$%ing scary right now? Because that's what it's going to take for someone like me. And of course, I only speak for myself, but the data in that article about retirees makes me think I'm not the only one.

Hi. Indeed we did not write a vulnerability scanner from scratch. We run a few major vulnerability scanners like OpenVAS on the target website, configured in a way to be non-intrusive.

How Travel Taught Me How to Not Give a F*ck
I'd say there's not anything to even judge if it's not just a way to charge a credit card. Picking a plan asks for a web address (which isn't validated in any way, you can type a single letter), and then it shows what looks like a Stripe CC popup (which probably signs a user up for recurring billing on stripe). Nothing about a login, email or password (I can ASSUME that's after a card is entered, but who knows..). I would never use something like this in its current state.
