That's what is terrific about the Model S. One does not have to be a 'car person' to really appreciate that vehicle. I would say that if you are already considering it, go ahead and get the S. You will most certainly not regret it.
Few cities have recovered their 1950 population, and the number of people per square foot of residence only keeps going down. I'm not sure this represents an increase in density.

Well, the leaks themselves revealed some pretty troubling (although not terribly surprising) friendliness between the mainstream media and the Clinton campaign, so it's not like we have nothing to compare it to.

The article alleges a GOP consultant worked with a hacker of unknown origin claiming to have opposition info.

The leaks (and Podesta's) revealed, though, a frankly disgusting level of cooperation between the mainstream media and the Clinton campaign. [1]

This whole idea that a contractor using hacked opposition info to his advantage in a way that may have unintentionally benefited Russian interests is in any way more scandalous than nearly all the mainstream media verifiably going to bat for Clinton campaign is selective outrage.

Yes. Multiple times over now. Same group involved with election hackery were also phishing my peers after they caused Moscow trouble regarding MH17 and Syria[1].

This is an on-going prolific attack against civilians in addition to the usual military/political targets. Much as Ru MoD regularly targets civilians in Syria such as medics and emergency responders.

All part of Russia's war on the world.

There is no clear line to be drawn between the two, and it really depends on the use to which the data is put, something that's opaque to end users.

Sure, error reporting feeding in to a QA database is one thing. But is there the capability to target Win10 OS ads to, say, folks with old video cards? I'd be very surprised if someone in Redmond didn't think of that.

No, just put aside some money before quitting your day job and you're fine. Again, if you can't manage to fund development of your MVP, then maybe entrepreneurship isn't for you. I guess the same applies to the "Venus Project".

It's best to make it so easy for a designer to make responsive (and even adaptive) layouts (for both native mobile and web) that this AI-based contraption that is guaranteed to produce wrong outcomes some of the time becomes unnecessary, at least for any practical purpose (unless the goal is the automated copying of web pages which is a lot bigger problem than guessing the markup, given how much complex dynamic behavior is built into pages these days)

I've taken an attempt at simplifying the task of building responsive and adaptive React Native apps with the following little library.

For a large part of history human height has been limited by nutrition. This is why the United States was the tallest country in the world at the beginning of the 20th century.

Once everyone is everyone is fed the genetic differences become apparent.

There are plenty examples of this. For instance, the Normans who invaded England were nearly six feet tall. However, by the mid-17th century the average man in Europe was something like 5'3-5'6.

My great-grandfather was 5'3, and my great-grandmother was 4'11. They grew up during a famine in Hungary. My grandmother was 5'8, my dad was 5'11", and I'm 6'3".

Of course my mom is half dutch, and her mom was 100% dutch and was 6'1", which is huge considering she was born in 1913. So I definitely get some of my height from that side of my family.
Thanks for sharing, man.

Which Prius? 2007 had it available in the deep well with a mirrored display over the steering wheel, not in the centre (http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/1f0271de306e45aab983f8c2c6e0f6ad/2...)
Later models had either that or a heads up display on the windshield.
In other words, if you're not rich entrepreneurship is not for you.

The European 1 often looks like an upward facing triangle without a bottom line. Surprisingly frequently it has caused European's in the US to have issues with the IRS/Taxes because the European 1 is often interpreted by Americans as a 7 (because Americans do not use a bar across the center of the 7 or Z). A household size of 7 instead of 1 can be a real back breaker!

>> Having a geopolitical adversary strategically hack political parties in order to change the outcome of an election to suit their interests is a HUGE problem

So you were ok with Obama sending a few hundred thousand dollars to try and influence the Israeli elections to oust Netanyahu?

According to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), the State Department gave $349,276 in U.S. taxpayer-funded grants to a political group in Israel to build a campaign operation, which subsequently was used to try to influence Israelis to vote against conservative Benjamin Netanyahu in the March 2015 election for prime minister.

Author here. AMA! This post was tough, since the industry doesn't really have common language for discussing the packet floods. In this article I tried to build some language and put focus on Gbps, Mpps, Unique IP's, packet lengths, duration of events in aggregate. I know the post is dense in numbers, but we want to encourage folks to be more open with attack data.

Finally, the "flowspec" section is somewhat controversial - for reasons I can't understand - even though Inter-AS flowspec should be a norm, it still isn't.

This is why I'm buying a Chevy Bolt this weekend. My current lease is up and the Bolt is here right now. No reservations and wait lists. The Model 3 looks great, but the process to get one seems geared only people that really like Tesla, not someone like me that doesn't really care about cars.
>> After a while of trying and challenging them directly to step up you’ve realized that what sounded like their “experience” in the interview and even confirmed in reference checks, turns out to be things they observed but they didn’t really drive (or truly understood from within) and therefore can’t replicate.

That is a sign of a poor hiring process. It's a common mistake but it's the number one thing I try to figure out when hiring. I'll have to write a blog about it some time.

He (and Fresco) is of course talking hypothetically but as he continues:

"If such a world really is technologically possible, we should cut the socialist dreamers some slack. Their fault lies not with their vision, but with their plans for achieving it."

From what I understand Murphy claim that if such a dream is technologically possible their's is not the correct way. I guess main point is that sooner or later Fresco's idea will require coercion and enter the pitfalls of central calculation issues, where as property rights approach does not.
Its still not as fast as yarn FYI.

There are big languages where all the stuff fits together nicely and into a conceptual whole, and big languages where it seems like a hairball with more and more hair bolted on as the years go by.
It's not that the math is different, but the order in which concepts are presented.
Sure... I should have just quoted the documentation, because the point is that any of these concepts exist:

It's a design choice toward a self-driving world, where instantaneous road notifications are less important to a person in a car than they are today.
I don't know if there are precise definitions, but I've always used (in the US):

* Fired with cause - gross reason: sexual harassment, illegal activities, etc.

* Fired - incompetence, laziness, other ineptitude related specifically to the employee, but nothing illegal

* Laid off - financial reasons or business direction reasons for the company. (Some people who are borderline performers get swept up into lay offs, which helps the employee save face.)

In the latter 2 cases, people generally get severance arrangements. In the last case, people are generally eligible for re-hire should conditions or direction change.
If you can't make money, entrepreneurship is not for you.
Thanks, I wasn't really aware of this. Class E wouldn't add too much to the IP address space if I understand this correctly?

I was thinking more along the lines of a bit being flipped would mean the next 8 bytes are an IP and not four, for example.

From my limited understanding, I don't think they reserved a bit in the address space?
"if property rights were respected by all, “humanity would become fantastically wealthy.”"

This comment by Robert Murphy is a weird non sequitur apropos of not much in the article. If property rights are respected by all, some small fraction of humanity will indeed become fantastically wealthy, but the vast majority would be on the tail end of a very thinly tailed distribution as humans become worthless for production - leading to quite a bit of aggregate unhappiness.
That is not really a critical look. It is "but Russians wouldn't possibly do that this way" rehashed several times over.

Nevermind that the target of the hacks, hacks who share the same infrastructure, all focus on entities of Moscow's interest.

Navalny, MH17, DNC, Syria, Bellingcat. Gee wonder what the common thread here is.
For what it's worth, my advice would be to get the sale done with conditions that you DON'T have to work for 2-5 years.

If you have enough money to take a Sabbatical, then do it, 3 months or 6 months. I know many (mostly in academic field) that tend to 'find themselves' when they do these every 10 years or so.

You sound like you're suffering from burnout. When is the last time you took an extended rest? I'd strongly advise that. Best of luck to you and I hope this reaches you! :)

A private third party making claims is not the same as the claims of the collective US intelligence agencies, which were made much more recently.

It's also irrelevant, because it was public knowledge by the time it was reported. My post is to debunk the assumption that the contractor knew the hacker was a foreign agent.
There was a time I couldn't live without Sublime text but with both Atom and Visual Studio Code I have no longer any use for it.

Yet another lame comment. GPS launched on Atlas V nowadays, which uses the insanely good LOx-rich combustion Soviet engine tech. Until the fall of the Iron Curtain, American engineers believed such technology was basically impossible. It was Soviet metallurgy that made it possible.

Jacque would likely respond with:
"They have military, we do not"
"They have money, we do not"

He would likely say it all boils down to Scarcity (lack of resources), Extensionality (what we currently refer to as "love"), and the Technology to manage and distribute them.

Also, I would refer to the system as a "Cybernated Resource-based Economy". Difference being that there is a global center which aggregates and manages the total known planet resources and the most effective means to use those resources to offer the redistribution of those resources to people that desire them to lower crime, hunger, scarcity, the need for war, etc.
Are there any viable chromium based open source browsers out there that have consistent updates?
Hmmm, is the data set something which would fairly naturally fit in a series of SQLite databases?

100GB is way too large for the project I'm working on at the moment (dbhub.io), as even a bunch of people downloading something that large would nuke our sponsorship budget since we're just starting out (still pre-launch).

However, if we gain traction and become cash positive, data sets this size would be good to cater to. :)

What to Expect (and Not Expect) from Linux Universal Packages
Wow! This thought thread is a what's what on the list of horrifying and inauthentic bullshit.

When did we lose the ability to have authentic relationships?

If someone needs your help and you have the capacity to help and they haven't burned you in the past, why not actually be human and help them? Perhaps one day you'll need help and they'll return the favour. If they don't without good reason, then next time say "hey, you know what, I was there when you needed help last time and when I needed help you were nowhere to be found, you flaked out on me because you didn't take my needs seriously." or whatever.

If you're hanging out with flaky people who give you bullshit excuses for not helping you out when you genuinely need help and you're not helping out when they genuinely need help then you don't have friendship, you have acquaintances.

Being a friend is being there when your friends need you and your friends being there when you need them. If one side of that relationship isn't being honoured, it's not friendship. One or the other of you is taking advantage of boundaries that aren't being enforced or respected.

Kudos to everyone for wanting more time for themselves to find value in what they do but when you get to the pinnacle of whatever it is you're doing and you realize you've cast aside your friends and relationships for whatever shiny thing it is that currently has your attention, I hope the shiny thing is more valuable to you than your friendships, because you'll have none.

Addendum: I don't want to devalue those that are selfless and just trying to scramble back a bit of time for their own selves, I get it, I'm an introvert, I need time for myself to do my own things too, but don't lose sight of the fact that human connection is where happiness and love lays. If the giving of yourself to make those you love happy isn't making you happy, then you should probably closely examine the quality of those relationships and either fix them or end them so you are.

I think a "Chrome only" world like the IE-only world we had years ago is a long way away. I don't know how long Chrome has been out, but in that time I have literally never used it. I've never needed to. I could not have made that statement about IE during its heyday. It was nearly impossible to use PCs in any way without using Microsoft. If you never got to experience the Internet in the late nineties, early 2000s, you have no idea how dominant Microsoft was.
Face Your Fears: An Amazonka Tutorial
I hate how, as a web developer, I've probably been part of the problem. My workflow has somehow ended up being 'do everything in chrome and only at the end test if it all works in firefox and safari'. More than once I forgot that step and ended up making small fixes for Safari on request, but not Firefox because nobody reported issues.

Once I became aware of this, I've been trying to be more diligent about thoroughly testing things on Firefox.

I wonder how many other developers are in a similar situation, where Chrome is their default browser and/or their main debugging environment. Part of the problem for me is that I find the Chrome dev tools superior, and that makes it so much easier to just forget about the rest (not that I'm justifying my behavior, btw).
Any harder than implementing IPv6 in hardware? I'm talking about an adjustment that would keep older machines talking to older addresses, whilst newer machines could implement extended IPv4, for example. From my potential ignorance, I'm not sure how that would be more difficult?

I think it's theoretical of course, I don't believe there is a reserved bit in the IPv4 range.

This is almost disgustingly obvious. There are no prices listed on the page, and as far as I can tell they are comparing a base Model 3 to the highest-spec Model S. It screams "oh yeah we've got that Model 3 thing, but you can't buy it for 14 months. look at this really cool Model S!"
Very true. The article adds:

> Another hypothesis known as the Brownian motion model of evolution posits that animals get big and small at random. In this scenario, the descendants of an animal would be both larger and smaller than their ancestor, but this didn’t fit with the data either, since whales got only bigger.

The hypothesis only applies to large numbers of species. Of course the largest animals only got larger; otherwise they wouldn't be the largest. If every species only got larger, then the model would be false, but some species get larger and some get smaller.

In this case, the article does posits an interesting climactic and fossil-record history of a recent growth spurt that's not purely random Brownian motion. But in general, you cannot look at an outlier and infer whether a general rule is true or false.
Nah, it's different. Google's evil is directly on the opposite side of the coin from their generosity. Google essentially "wastes" money just to promote the web itself. This is because the web is a fairly terrible platform, but they must promote it because they've capitalized on its flaws.

If the internet exploded and we had to rebuild it from the ground up, there would be no html/web, and no 3rd party search engine which attempts to reconstruct the web by viewing it as a blackbox. We would build search into DNS, since that's basically what DNS is supposed to be for, and along with the monetization of search (register your site for x search keywords, pay the root DNS for additional keywords.) All of Google's revenue is but a hack of a patch on a chaotically formed system.

Google needs the web, but the web is terrible. It's made for showing static documents with hyperlinks to other static documents. But that's clearly not what people want to view or build, they want apps. So we have 1 million javascript frameworks trying to vie for support on various browsers on various operating systems. All this infrastructure to support 'web apps' that can only call into http and dom manipulation apis. Mobile apps have proven there are other ways to make apps, with security and containerization and allowing full (but secured) access to all OS apis, and easier compatibility. All Google's endearing endeavors to create cool, web-based tech, are just efforts to prop up the terrible web platform, to prevent it from being superseded by a better open system. Facebook (which uses the web only non-exclusively) shows us a better system is possible, but it is not open.

So, back on topic, Google won't stop being good to the web, because the greatest evil of Google is that they're good to a platform which doesn't deserve it.
