That makes sense, seems they want to avoid (stem?) people not buying the model S and waiting for the cheaper model 3.

It's far more dangerous to tell people with psychological issues to avoid "drugs".
Germany is not some mythical land of cheap fast cars. We have the same 10 year old 3 series with 80k miles on the clock for $5000 here, too. But maybe we just are also aware that the most expensive German car in the world is a cheap one.

I dropped out ouf the 802.11 business a few years ago but it seems I am still relevant, after all the article is about 802.11ac, not something about 802.11ax.
On the technical side I agree with most of what the author says, but it is only a part of the larger picture.

-First I did my own tests of 802.11ac in 2014 and the manufacturers were correct in their claims at that time. You have to understand that the best speed is when you are in ideal radio conditions and simply you are never in ideal conditions and most of the time you are even far from the ideal case.

- Second, 802.11 sucks but not about raw speed, the MAC layer of most chip implementations is often ultra simplified and the outcome is that it is difficult to be authentified. This is strange as the Wi-Fi chip most often is a little computer and the MAC is implemented in software.

- Third, there are unreasonable economic expectations by users as well as the article's author: Wait you want gigabit speeds, ultra-reliability in challenging radio conditions, and that at a tenth of the cost of a 3G mobile radio?

- Fourth: Your phone has more hard time to cope with that throughput, than the Wi-Fi chip has. Android and Linux in general have many internal buffers because there are layers in charge of different features. The usable throughput is the raw radio throughput divided by the number of buffers. There are research OSes which use pointers instead of buffers, but Linux and Windows use buffers.
As someone else pointed out, it's not "incomplete combustion" it's production of NOx which is a pollutant. Running really lean also results in a bit of incomplete combustion though.
I think the argument is "knowing information that is truthful, even if it's incomplete."
That assumes that there will be people remembering the venus project or even have the resources to fight for it at the correct time. Also, it assumes that humanity will survive the climate changes that are due.

I think we have taught ourselves that we rather suffer and keep things as they are rather than actually improving them in a radical way like in trying out new economic models.
Seems that many people think that the Model 3 is the 'new' and 'best' car. They are constantly point out that if people want the best Tesla car it is still the Model S.
(this is purely about the OCSP server outage, others have commented on the issuance server outage)

In most cases, clients ignore any failure to contact the OCSP servers. This means that:

1) OCSP servers aren't an additional point of failure for your website

2) A man-in-the-middle attack using a stolen and revoked certificate can prevent your browser from knowing it's stolen by blocking the connection to the OCSP server

Possibly due to #2, or other reasons, I can only speculate, some clients treat failure to contact OCSP servers more seriously and abort the connection. During the outage, those clients were unable to talk to servers that:

1) were using LetsEncrypt

2) enabled OCSP

3) did not have a valid stapled OCSP response (for example because OCSP stapling was not configured, or their server lost the response and couldn't get a new one during the downtime)

The size of the intersection of affected clients and sites is very small, but during that window they were completely unable to talk to each other. So in broad terms the impact was very small, but for those affected it was quite large.
Its sadly not strict enough what it accepts, got a buffer overflow quite easily.

I had forgotten about the NOx at higher temperatures. But running lean is also more efficient and can result in incomplete combustion:

There really is a lot at play, but I stand by the statement that "clean" and "efficient" are directly at odds with each other.
Did they claim otherwise about their 2015 numbers anywhere? The only thing they mention is about Q1 2017. The 2017 numbers seemed to have improved drastically, something the article recognises (but the HN headline does not :S).

People will keep laughing at me when I tell them to just produce a binary, pre-parsed format for their data.

Parsing will always be slow no matter what you do, and you can hardly parallelize it. Of course it's fast on a non-mobile CPU, but it will always be slow on a smartphone, hence the need for such a format and it's the reason smartphones use apps instead of HTML+JS.

It's funny because computers are very fast, but batteries are not so good, so are we realizing that well designed software formats have an effect on battery life?

I've seen several articles about how webpages are bloated, but I don't see any real proposition on how to fix it.
I think this is in reaction to the confusion over Model 3 being the "next version" of the Model S. People might be holding off on buying the S because they think that the 3 is better.

When asked why he named it Model 3 in that thread, his response was: "Because I was a dumb idiot and didn't realize at the time that it would cause confusion".

Not "DOM" but a hashes of the URL or a part of it, to check if the domain or URL is "safe." Also downloads are checked. And AFAIK it's more nuanced, there's also a database that can be checked and allow "offline" checks. But it would still be interesting to find one independent serious analysis of the behavior.
I'm a former C++ programmer (I haven't had an assignment that used C++ for years, though I pressed for a limited subset on a recent embedded system) I likely never reached the sophistication of most of the respondents here and my concerns may have been addressed.

The things that concerned me about C++ were the pitfalls that could happen due to ignorance or omission vs. errors introduced by commission. For example forgetting to implement a copy constructor for a class that allocates member data. (That results in two objects that hold pointers to the allocated data following a copy operation and if one is deleted, the other points to now deleted data.) Perhaps there are better compiler warnings or static analysis tools that will reveal problems like that today.

My other concern is how big the language has grown. I recall my excitement when I first worked with C++ since it provided direct support for a lot of things I was doing with C (Object orientation, function pointers in structs and similar) with the addition of better type safety. Nowadays many of the language features are incomprehensible and beyond my skill level. I suppose largely because I don't work with C++ on a day to day basis.

The intelligence agencies looked at the evidence and claim it was the Russians, and somehow tied it back to the Russian government.

The NSA leak weeks later that confirmed sophisticated and documented techniques for making hacks appear to come from somewhere else (e.g. by using existing known-Russian C&C servers) is unrelated, and it's apparently unfathomable to think anyone else would be able to use the same techniques.

Also, none of us have ever read history books, which are full of wars and witch hunts started over unverifiable claims by people in power that turned out to be mistaken (at best) or lies (at worst) to push their agenda.

So I'm not sure why you're asking for concrete evidence. They said it was the Russians trying to get Trump elected. Is that not good enough for you?

Don't forget that Netscape originally used the same box model as IE. They were the one who changed the way boxes worked when they released NN6 (the one that couldn't correctly render Netscape.com when it came out because of that silly new "standard" box model).

The sane way of doing boxes pre-dated the "standard", which in hindsight appears as though it was specifically crafted to spite Microsoft.

It was a silly time to be a developer.

Opportunity costs and the missed investment returns

I am now in my mid 40s. I started working in tech in the mid-90s. I was ambitious and mainly only worked for or led tech startups. (I did well for myself, so can't complain too much)

When I look back on my career, had I went with my intuition at critical times, instead of what I felt was 'my duty' (or whatever justification I made to deny my intuitive senses), I would clearly be further ahead. In total, I probably wasted several years waiting for people or situations to change for the better, passing up several ultimately better opportunities.

>Anyone we fire we'll sit down in the exit interview and write a plan for how they can get re-hired in a few weeks or months if they're interested.

Maybe firing means something different in your company/mindset, but I understand it as as an instantaneous cessation of reciprocal obbligations, or (allowed by the Law of course) one-sided termination of a contract, the one in which you give me money in exchange for my work, i.e. for my time.

Maybe it is just me, but I won't be sitting anywhere for no [insert strong word here] "exit interview" nor write down any "plan" the second after you have fired me, or you'll have to pay me really good money to have me sitting down for the time needed to hear your re-hiring plans and write my own ...

Well, vectors are a workaround for the challenges in creating homeoiconic lists that the JVM understands.

And if I'm frank, the JS examples are easy to read because you're familiar with the syntax. When you first started to learn C style syntax, it was likely just as confusing. I've spent a fair bit of time with lisp now, and the parenthesis are no more or less confusing than any of the symbols used in other languages. They're just scope delimiters.
Closed source is a boolean. Chrome is distributed only as a binary. I.e. it is totally closed source.

It currently has a very large relation to the open source Chromium project. But Google could change that tomorrow if they wanted to - they could also gradually move more and more to their closed source Chrome builds (as they have done with Android).
There is a misconception that the Model 3 is the most advanced Tesla model simply because it is the newest Tesla model. This was cannibalizing the sales of the Model S more than Tesla expected it to. Buyer who could afford a Model S or Model X were waiting for the Model 3 because they were under the mistaken belief that the Model 3 would offer all the newest, cutting edge technologies and self-driving capabilities.

As Musk said via Twitter, the Model S is on Gen. 4, and continues to offer the most advanced technologies.

That said, most people are waiting for the Model 3 because they can't (or do want to) afford a $100,000-$165,000 (with the self-driving packages) vehicle.
It's really hard to imagine an early-90s Apple that Jobs wouldn't have left anyway - probably with high drama - if he hadn't been fired.

But the Apple story makes the point - most CEOs are mediocre. Sculley and Amelio (and Spindler, whom almost everyone has forgotten) were all competent in their previous jobs, and usually also in subsequent jobs.

But you don't want to settle for competence in the C-suite. You want outstanding - a genuine 10X CEO.

There aren't many of those around. But there are plenty of 0.1X pretenders, and you'd better hope you don't end up hiring one, because no one will do more damage to a company.

Generally when people use their total pre-tax income when answering annual income in surveys. That pay might include a base pay plus bonuses. I suspect that most people include bonuses when reporting compensation. However, I suspect that many do not include things like stock options or grants when reporting total annual income.

The separate question of whether you are being taken advantage of is very contextual. Relevant questions include:

Is my salary not improving even though my skills and domain knowledge are dramatically different?

How does my salary compare to other developers at other companies in my city/state/region with similar skills, experience and responsibilities?

How does my salary compare to other developers and/or other roles within my own company - is their evidence that it is unfair?

Compensation information at the appropriate level of specificity [role, training, skills, domain knowledge, location, industry and company size] is rarely available at all to individuals at least at a reasonable cost. Sometimes it is available through HR benchmarking companies that sell the information to employers.

This information asymmetry tends to give negotiating advantage to the employer.
