At your volume, I wouldn't bother and I doubt Cloudflare is trying to rip you off.

That being said, they do offer advanced analytics features which includes DNS statistics [0]. Although pricing is unknown.

It's the Internet. Some script kiddie could have easily tried a bunch of random scripts on you, maybe testing your DNS to see if they could knock you out and perform DNS poisoning without understanding the implausibility of having any impact on Cloudflare.

If this is happening on a regular basis, I would open a support request and ask them to enable advanced DNS analytics temporarily to at least determine if this is coming from a single country, etc.

The other issue is that helpdesks optimize for impact so, although $1 isn't the core issue here, it definitely plays a role in you not getting access to the upper layers of their support org.

readability is a function of familiarity

EDIT:

Sorry, I just don't like when people share shallow and negative thoughts about projects that take away from meaningful discussion.

Why is the OP comment shallow? Because obviously _some_ people find it readable which would suggest that it is familiarity that is the problem -- not some universal quality of the language.
Except that there is precedence for these types of standards and laws in other industries:

PCI [0] is an industry standard which is mandated in order to maintain good standing in the payments industry and HIPAA [1] is US legislation which governs the handling of patient health data.

The issue we face is that there is no equivalent for either of these in relation to handling of PII and identity data.

So -- Tesla creates their own positive PR by crippling their hardware via software lockdown until an opportunity arises for them to look like the good guys by temporarily releasing the hand-cuffs.

What a world.
Or similarly, try to reduce the population enough so that we are not constantly on the razor edge of famine.
It comes down to efficiency of transfer. I've heard of steam being used for power in machine shops and for heat in cities. I doubt the efficiencies make sense over much distance.

I used water as only an example. I don't think steam is generally thought of in terms of energy storage.
IMO locking down the battery capacity via software is pretty lame.

Does anyone know exactly how this is done? does the battery just never charge up all the way? does it claim it's empty when there's actually more charge left? Are some of the cells locked down and just don't charge? How does it impact the health of the battery (since not being able to charge or discharge completely would presumably affect the health of the cells)
I think this is an excellent point. While Detroit has a relatively small population, it's metropolitan area does not. It's large metropolitan area has a large STEM talent pool thanks to the automotive sector, the second largest Delta hub (behind Atlanta and just a giant airport anyways), and has a very willing government plus Dan Gilbert.

It'll be a uphill battle, but I think Detroit is a serious dark horse.
Sounds like a severe limitation of discord :)
For the same reason that CPUs and solar panels (just two examples off the cuff) that are not up to spec are sold at cheaper prices: price discrimination.

Tesla gets to sell a car it otherwise wouldn't get to sell, and a consumer gets a vehicle they otherwise couldn't afford. Why is that lame? That's capitalism.
We know how to transmit power over long distance with 10-15% loss.
Can you explain your first sentence? What is the discussion surrounding shared vs. private rooms?
It sounds like the alternative may be not having a cheaper 60 kwh version.
It's an established practice to allow consumers to buy a product at a lower price point without complicating supply chain. It's explained well in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/6z2fwd/did_tes...
It's done pretty much across the board even in ICE vehicles. I know it happens in trucks and compact utility tractors.

Easier to validate and build one powertrain on the assembly line than 2-3 variants.
Ask HN: Where can I submit my app for feedback and review?

This looks like it could be really awesome. A feature request if you don't mind: it'd be fantastic if you could allow users to export their previous conversations somewhere. Bonus points if it can be done automatically (real-time and/or on a backup schedule).

Thanks for creating this :)
it's also a way for Tesla to fuel their own positive PR in situations like this.

Pretty crummy.
You can run something open source on an iPhone?

So I assume you are talking about mac?

Why would you buy hardware for double the going rate for a given set of specs and remove the OS that you paid so much for? Macbooks are OK, nothing against them, but I never understood who would buy one to run linux on. (I bought a Dell, and it actually included support out of the box)

that's a fair point. Are these ICE features solely locked down by software though?
We should return to a nerfed version of the hunter gatherer lifestyle, it's what we were designed for. The whole agricultural/industrial civilization thing is a hack.
My Time with Google's Cellular Service Was Mostly a Disaster
My understanding is that it does not charge all the way.

There are some advantages in having a s/w locked down battery rather than a physically limited battery. Since the battery charges slower when it is above 80% capacity, you can recharge to "100%" much faster with a software limited battery. Similarly, charging to 100% is supposed to cause more battery wear, so in a real 75 you don't want to do that very often. But in a 60, its no problem, since 100% is really 80% of the physical capacity.
Submitted. Thanks for the work on this paulgb!!
+1 to this. I'm worried he'll get shut down with a cease-and-desist letter.
I'm really excited about reason. The front end community is adopting functional programming (concepts) at breakneck speed. I think this opens us up to more advanced type systems, and generative testing (property testing, say).

These are exciting times.
This wouldn't solve the problem of a disruption to the food supply, just lessen the number who died. If my family starve to death it won't be much comfort to me that only a billion others die rather than five billion.
I know it's an established concept (I put modded firmware on my nikon d5100 - basically makes it more like a d7100)

it just seems perverse in this situation though. vehicles have more of a 'life and death' component than a digital camera

>Tesla gets to sell a car it otherwise wouldn't get to sell, and a consumer gets a vehicle they otherwise couldn't afford. Why is that lame? That's capitalism.

It's lame because the value change is one-sided.

The value is being adjusted by taking away options from a good which has the same intrinsic material value as another to change the market value of the good.

It's capitalism, sure, but it's not one of the better parts.
Readability is determined by more than familiarity.
Also, everything had to be redocumented and reanswered for python 3. I wouldn't be surprised if people had to look up their issue repeatedly on stack overflow until they finally find help.

Every top answer in python seems to be dating back to 2009 (python 2.1), quite a few are completely broken code nowadays (blame the breaking change in the standard API).
That would be tax evasion. Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is legal.

This is not legal advice. I am not your lawyer. Consult a qualified attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction.
Agreed. I'd argue that the classic `for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)` loop isn't very readable unless you have seen for loops several times, in which case it is pretty easy to read.
I'm glad they're extending the range today, but it's not really positive PR IMHO. They're shining a spotlight on the fact that they're crippling the hardware, like you said.
Not sure if Washington, DC includes Northern Virginia (Ashburn, Herndon, Reston). AWS is already here. And a ridiculous amount of fiber seems to out through this area. I see new data centers popping up quite often. And prices are crazy expensive but probably still cheaper than the city itself.

So I would pick this area if I was them. Though not sure how I'd personally feel about prices and traffic going up even higher with Amazon's second HQ moving in.

Haha yup and that's when it drops off- WAIT WHAT??
Good idea. This will be implemented soon along with cloud sync.
If it's anything like Europe, doctors and hospitals get to charge extra (not covered by the state medical insurance) if the patient is in a private room. Plus the private room itself costs extra too.

It has different names depending on the country.

PS. private medical insurance may cover the private room thing. Also, doctors are effectively incentivized to give private room patients preferential treatment. So it is one source of inequality in Europe's health services.
I'm not quite sure what the OP meant, but I think that your rephrasing is not necessarily the same statement. It seems to me that "is average in Japan" is indicating that the eater would not consider it special. It doesn't imply that "average" food in Japan would be considered special either.

From my perspective, I think Japanese people would be impressed by the very, very top restaurants in NY. After all, Masaharu Morimoto (Iron Chef Japan -- as people were talking about Iron Chef...) was head chef at Nobu in Manhattan.

Having said that, restaurants in Japan (especially izakayas) have shockingly good food -- even (especially?) out in the countryside. It's pretty hard for me to think of a (non Michelin star) restaurant in a major North American city that has food as good as the local izakaya in my town (admittedly it is famous in the area). It would cost me a month's salary to eat the same quality of food in a fancy restaurant in the west. But there are factory workers who eat (and mostly drink...) there every day, without going broke.

I think that's probably true of a lot countries, though. I mean, is there a paella restaurant in Valencia that will not blow your mind? Or if you walk into any hole in the wall in Marseille, of course you are expecting one of the best seafood experiences of your life. Maltashen and sauerkraut in any random inn in Bavaria; Fish and chips in an authentic "chippy" on the coast of the UK. And let's face it: coal fired (don't hate me, gas lovers!) pizza shop in Manhattan.

I'll be honest, I don't think this is much to do with Japan. I think its more to do with the move towards glizty chain restaurants with mediocre food - dumbed down both for the audience and the preparers. To open a viable restaurant these days you need $2 million in capital and the risks are enormous. Especially in big centres like NY, London, etc, the costs of running a restaurant are so huge that you can't afford to run just a ridiculously good local pub, filled with local cuisine.

Why are there so many great izakayas and restaurants in Tokyo and (especially) Osaka, then? Because they are 3-4 generations old and the children of the owners are expected to (and groomed to) take over the shop. The shop is the entire life of a family for multiple generations -- no franchises, no sunny holidays in Okinawa, no merchandising, no fancy-pants buildings. Just making amazing yakitori (or whatever) every single day from the time you are 18 until you die. You are a fixture in your community and the people who live and work in that community love you. They visit you for dinner, for special occasions, or even just to chat. If the shop closes down, people practically have a funeral for it.

I think modern day western culture frowns on this kind of life. While I can understand that perspective, it's one the things I like about living in rural Japan. Like I said, though, I don't think it's just Japan. It exists everywhere in every culture -- it's just more obvious in some places than others.
> “They’re taking him to a local hospital,” Mr. Battelle’s wife, Michelle, told Dr. Shlain as the boy rode in an ambulance to a nearby emergency room in Marin County. “No, they’re not,” Dr. Shlain instructed them. “You don’t want that leg set by an E.R. doc at a local medical center. You want it set by the head of orthopedics at a hospital in the city.”

So, tying up an ambulance for a couple hours because they "too good" for an ER (which would be completely capable of dealing with a broken leg)?
lol I own 2 macbook pros and a mac pro - wiped apple software off an installed linux on all of them. never looked back.

They all work great (a little bit of extra work setting up) - but you are right, I wouldn't have bought them if I knew I was going to ditch apple software ahead of time.
Still, despite the size of metro Detroit, I think it's 100% off the table for Amazon's HQ2. The positive side of it is, sure, Amazon could own Detroit like vintage Ford – that's neat but I don't think Amazon wants that. The winters are still some of the most frigid and intimidating of any major American city, Michigan is still seen as the turncoat swing state (or one of them) that lead to Trump's election, and even though it's regarded as ripe for an artistic revolution (cheap permits, cheap housing) it's still not a "cool" place to be.

It's a huge gamble on a city that is pulling itself out of bankruptcy.
> The fact that identical twins look similar suggests that most of the variation in facial identity is going to be driven by a heritable element.

I don't see how you get to that conclusion. If a set of twins inherited nothing from their parents they could still be identical. The DNA could be generated randomly and then duplicated.

This is just a logic argument as clearly everyone inherits many things from parents.

You're right that it is a lot of hassle, but you're also missing the fact that it's a lot easier for Google to defend itself to the IRS than for you to do so. The amount Google would need to pay lawyers, in that case, is so much smaller than what they save on taxes, that it makes perfect sense for them. The opposite is true for you. For example, the IRS will probably call you on your name licensing trick and charge you with tax evasion. Even if you could afford to defend yourself, you'd probably lose the case.

Also, I'm not an expert on the subject, but I seem to recall reading that in some countries, corporate tax tricks like that don't work for one-person companies. It depends on how many full-time employees the company has.

I think it's ridiculous that big megacorps can eliminate huge parts of their tax burden while the regular Joe cannot. The system is overly complex and tilted in the favor of the rich and large companies. That's not what the people agreed to when they accepted a taxation system during and following the first world war.
They have a identity theft protection and credit file monitoring program.
My understanding is that it does not charge all the way.

So doesnt that make this update a little late and kind of useless?

The evacuation order was days ago. People have already left their homes--where they would have charged their cars. They already made it to where they were going on the 60kw charge they had or they didn't. The hurricane has already reached FL. http://media.miamiherald.com/static/testdir/weather/storm-ra...
Why? Because of "offensive" language?
Essentially, yes. There are physical limitations to how much power an ICE can safely produce, but no sane manufacturer would tune the engine in a passenger vehicle to run at those limits. It'd make for a gas guzzler that required constant maintenance. (Which, unsurprisingly, is a perfect description of a "performance" vehicle, i.e. a racecar.)
You are not aware that the exact same thing is done for petrol and diesel cars (i believe a bmw 318d is the exact same engine as a 323d, a part from software/firmware). Cpus, gpus etc. etc.
Taxation may not be natural, but it is inherent in a society.

To explain, you give some of your kill to the tribe. You share with your family, to provide for them. In return, you get a tribe or family.

The independent person without obligation to return to the social good is largely a myth and, if done, would mean extinction.

Additionally, I don't mind paying my taxes. I do mind how my taxes are spent. They are the cost of living in society.
Thanks for the video. Curious why they say never to sign the letter.

I think there are network effects.

Years ago, I was mostly interesting in Ruby/Rails because my friends in SF were interested in it and so I wanted to learn from them. There were also a ton of articles on HN that popped up.

But as soon as I became interested in Data Science/ML, I wanted to immerse myself in as many tutorials/projects as possible. As it so happens, a lot of books/tutorials I've read are in Python, so I figured why not. I really appreciate the simplicity of the language and the fact that so many interesting libraries are available.

I find it quite a beautiful language to try to learn.
So you're suggesting only selling the 75kwh version, which means some folks who want it would otherwise not be able to afford it. How is that good for anyone? And if you buy a 60kwh version, would you be happier if it actually had fewer cells? Comments above indicate that means it would charge more slowly and charging would wear it out faster, but that appears to be the solution you prefer.
I'm very excited to see mesh networks become a thing; there's a lot of potential there to replace ISPs someday. Gonna be a long time of course — a 100-node network is nothing like The Internet write large, but it's still good to see progress.

Little funny that streetlights have a network, but I guess it makes finding & fixing faults easier.

I really love that this used animated images instead of JavaScript — works with any browser that way.
If this system is enacted, will the benefits of staying in the EU out weigh just moving all the shell companies to the Caymans or wherever?

I wish countries would give up on corporate taxes. They are either easily circumvented, or you need a massive regulatory body to analyze all corporate transactions and determine if they are "fair."

All the same tax revenue can be gained through much better systems that are not trivially circumvented and do not create a perverse incentive for your country's companies to up and move to the nearest tax haven.
Panama also does not tax foreign income. I worked remotely from Panama for many years and it was lovely. My take home salary was better than what could be achieved working for the likes of Google or Facebook, stock compensation not considered. I met my wife there too. But the threshold to get residency is higher.
So I'm REALLY curious to know now - in all those road tests where people testing the car gave the 60kWh cars such glowing reviews, was Tesla flipping the switch for more range, the way ISPs flip the switch when you run speed tests??

This has some pretty serious implications...
Python 2.1 was from 2001 -- did you mean 2.6.1?
interesting. In that case, I wonder how useful this update is, since it would presumably just allow the consumers to charge their cars for a longer period of time, but they should probably be getting the hell out of the storm path instead.
I'm not that woke yet, there's still some friends whose updates I like to see

Time boxing my FB usage at least stops the "scroll forever" behavior I used to have
I can offer a contrary datapoint: As someone who has never used this language before, so has never seen its error messages either before nor after, it took me far longer to parse and understand the "after" error message than the "before"; I immediately saw is not compatible and understood, while the more verbose message doesn't have anywhere near the same clarity --- "But somewhere wanted" made me do a reparse, and I'm still not completely sure what it's trying to say, or what "somewhere" is. Even the "before" is unnecessarily verbose to me --- I'd prefer something more like this:

Error:%s:%d:%d-%d: incompatible type: expected %s, found %s

Display the error-ing line(s), right inside the terminal.

Seeing that you'd usually focus on a single error rather than trying to get an overview of all errors

IMHO these are not good changes --- chances are that many errors have a common cause which may be far away, and fixing that will make them all disappear. This encourages "code tunnel-vision", making small patches to "fix" each error ("the compiler says the error is here, so I must try to fix it here somehow"), which in the long term can cause massive duplication and decrease the overall quality.

Then again, I don't use JS so maybe the culture is very different, but the "gradual increase of verboseness" seems to be a common trend among other languages, that I strongly disagree with. Writing in six words ("We've found a bug for you!") what could be expressed in one ("Error") does not help anyone except possibly the most noobish of programmers, which one should hope to learn and thereby advance from their level anyway; unless you treat your developers as incapable of learning and disposable, it is counterproductive --- or perhaps I should say un-Reason-able(!) --- to optimise for the extreme beginner at the expense of the experienced.

Pretty much. The goal of Reason is to make some weighted compromises* in order to allow folks (like you?) to have an easier time convincing your colleagues that OCaml's a good bet, disregarding their past experiences with similar languages. For example, being scarred by FP assignments back from university is one of the top feedbacks. If we show that ReasonReact allows folks to write apps just the same, plus a familiar syntax that makes the first tries easier, then you yourself can skip over all these bikesheddings and help your colleagues further.

* Having a different syntax isn't without cost for the existing OCaml community, but so far most have been very supportive
