There's the base engine and then there is everything bolted on to it (Turbo(s) for instance).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N47

There are two basic versions of that engine both have four cylinders, a 1.8L and a 2.0L, that's only a difference in sleeves and pistons but it is not just a software change.

There is no 2.3L version of that engine and I'm not aware of a 323d.

The next level up is a six cylinder version:

Which comes in three different displacement variants.
It's pretty easy to get out of Boston harbor.
This also could apply to the battery's overall lifespan

They did pay for a larger battery for a car with a 60kw promise. They just gave those people lots of spare cells to use as their battery ages.

They could have built a cheaper battery to fill the same promise and it would have failed earlier.

So don't they in fact have better batteries?

I don't understand the objection.
International Fellowship applications for Part 1 now open
Grand Rapids, MI is just WAITING for something like this to turn it into a major city. It has an awesome culture and a ton of interesting things happening. However, the available tech job pool is still low and what jobs do exist are typically at non-tech companies who happen to employ tech workers.
Exactly. Many years ago my father drove a Rover 75 in the UK which used an older version of BMW's 318d engine, but of course hobbled in software so as not to deliver as much power/torque as the same engine in a BMW.

For a couple hundred quid you could "chip" the engine to match or exceed the rated power of the BMW version. They even installed it in such a way that the chip could be removed before you took it in for a service so as to avoid warranty concerns etc.

You might also be interested in the Ruth Marcus op-ed in WaPo -- acknowledging that things are very broken right now in protecting the accused and actively hoping that Betsy DeVos will help swing the pendulum back.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/betsy-devos-could-ch...

I mean, if Ruth Marcus is rooting for Devos to fix this, I'm guessing things have gotten really bad;

"But the Obama administration’s move also prompted an overcorrection at some institutions that failed to do enough to protect the rights of students accused of wrongdoing."

Puts this Atlantic exposee in perspective.

How long has it been since most people have hand-written a letter?
That's true, but since there are many people that find Reason (OCaml) readable I am going to say familiarity is the biggest problem here.
Bear in mind that in general, those class action settlement websites are run by the lawyers behind the class action, not by the company that was sued and has agreed to settle.

It is in the best interests of the settling company to keep distance between those sites and their primary domain.

That's probably true. Many animals can't.
Since I upgraded my google-chrome-stable version on my Linux machine to 60.0.3112.78, I've been getting a "Could not display composer" error where the composer should be on Messenger.com.

There are court documents I've read that say, to this effect, that in absence of any returned mail, it is assumed that it was delivered as intended.

> You can run something open source on an iPhone?

Of course you can... first of all, the OS itself is (at least partially) open-source. Second, there's tons of apps in the App Store that are open-source. And third, you can obviously also compile open-source software yourself and install it too.
The goal is to make it pointless to use shell companies to avoid paying taxes.

> I wish countries would give up on corporate taxes.

I really wish they won't. Right now the small companies pay corporate taxes just fine, it is the big ones that play all kinds of shell games to get out from under their obligations.
I think you've vastly confused cause and effect. Rich economies can afford high tax rates because they are rich, and poor economies have to compete for what businesses they can get.

Another obvious confounder is that richer states tend to be more urban, and urban places tend to be more liberal. Which vote for higher tax rates and social programs. Rural states are more conservative which favor smaller governments. This is just an effect of political demographics, not a cause of superior tax policies.
It is, but it's even worse in Dallas.
Move away from the coasts, for starters. Cheap housing is the rule in the U.S. You're thinking of the exceptions to that rule.
Likely reducing torque response curve, reducing performance.

And/or potentially allowing the Lipoly battery to expend more charge than optimal for it's lifecycle. Increasing the recharge rate of the breaks to make them a bit more "touchy".

With electric vehicles, everything is a tradeoff.

Seems like a fair choice, but perhaps one that they should allow the drivers to choose...
People say traffic is bad in LA, but Seattle is next level congestion.
Nifty, thanks for posting this. I've started using Jupyter Notebooks with my (high school) technologies students this year.

I can see this being particularly useful since our sector is shifting everything into the MS cloud, so we can re-use our school credentials, and I can also stop worrying about having to make sure programming environments are installed on student images and so on.
Philadelphian here. The times has a well known anti-philly bias. They're mad about our cheap houses.
Once again, may be it is time for such a thing to exist for software engineers who aren't web devs.
Agreed, but that is quite readable to someone familiar with ML-based languages: Define a function get_internal which takes a map from objects of type 'a to type 'b, and an object of type 'a, and return a wrapper around objects of type 'b or "undefined"s. Action of get_internal is ""get" [@@bs.send]", which I don't recognize. I would guess it's a javascript interop syntax, which returns a function consistent with get_internal's type signature.

You're not constrained to use one-letter names for type variables, or to drop names of argument variables, but it turns out to be very handy, and it only takes reading a couple of hundred lines of code to get comfortable with this notation.

You're looking at the cost of Bentleys and wondering how most people afford a car. They afford it by buying used Honda Civics.

Which is to say that there are job opportunities in Dallas and Indianapolis and Atlanta and so on and so on, which are all cities with the housing equivalent of Honda Civics.

If you insist on a Bentley (i.e. the largest coastal cities), then I guess I just don't know what to tell you except that you should reconsider a visit to the Honda lot.
Most of that code (the part between the `:` and the `=`) is just the type annotation, which actually acts as documentation :)

My guess in this case is that get_internal is a function that receives two parameters (a map with keys of type `a` and values of type `b`, and a key of type `a`) and returns a value of type `b` or `undefined`, if the key is missing. The return is wrapped in an option type so you don't mix the `b`s with the `undefined`s.

That said, this is a very weird example to pick because the actual implementation of the function is not in this file. Assuming that in Reason the @@ means the same as in Ocaml, that `@@` is placeholder that tells the code preprocessor where to insert the actual code for the implementation of `get`. The actual logic for the get function would be in the preprocessor.
The move in support for legalising SSM has come rather fast - 5 years ago it was less than 50%.

Yes relying on achieving popular support before acting will always mean that change happens later than it really should, but I think this price is worth paying to ensure long term support.

I do think political systems that reguire building broad popular support are desirable in general because they encourage openness.
Is there another car company that even does OTA updates yet? Let alone unlocking car features with geotargeting.

For all the talk of Tesla's lead in electric vehicles being short term, their software DNA feels like an even greater competitive advantage.
But that's where it all falls down - the poor in america are most likely not to understand why they need to "pay more" to vote when it's already "free"!
Denver only has 700k in the city itself, and ~2.7M in the metro area.
Speaking only for myself, "fairly close" is basically as far away as really far away. If I have to move, there's not much of a difference between moving 100 miles and 3,000 miles. If I were planning to operate in one city because it was fairly close to another city, I'd probably just go to the fairly close city instead (or somewhere else altogether).
And those of us in Utah say... "Wait, no, we have Universities here, and could totally support Amazon." Then we think about the urban sprawl of SLC, and look at the outdoors and think about how crowded it has gotten already at Arches and Zion and say... "Yes, OK. Denver sounds good."
It threw me off at first as well, but I think getting more Teslas on the road warrants pursuing this kind of business practice.
It depends on the complexity of the application. If I am happy with the performance profile with mutable state then going with immutable state is obviously an overkill. These optimizations matter when React spends lot of time diffing the virtual dom of the entire app component for every state change.

I don't have an example with mutable state but for React + Redux, click on the benchmark perf test page @ https://github.com/guptag/js-frameworks. With 1500 tickers added to the page and with an price update happening every 10ms, React/Redux updates the view within 5ms (on my machine) and consistently maintains 60fps. This is when React does the virtual diffing of only one ticker component whose state is changed and skipping the rest (because of React-Redux's immutability checks). It's going to take more time if React spends diffing the entire app for every update (unfortunately, I don't have a measurement with mutable state as I built this page to compare with AngularJS).

We can easily measure and make a call whether immutability is needed for an app or not.
Nor would it really work in practice. Reducing the population would reduce demand (eaters), which would eventually lead to a reduction in supply (Farmers).

Moreover, wrt to the 72 days raised by ggpp, one would just shrink the surplus to 72 days for the smaller population.
I have a strong suspicion that Denver will become the next San Francisco in the next 5-10 years.
That's not readable. But you're not supposed to write that kind of code normally. You only need that when you need to interop with anything in native JS land, and most of that interop is already done for you so you can just use existing bindings.

I think you'll find that any code that deals with foreign function interfaces and interop with the host environment is ugly in any language.

Great so you just made it illegal or impossible to create a start up, congratulations.
IMO python and its popularity is somewhat split between a scripting language, maybe a R alternative, with a data science focus on one hand. On the other hand is python as a web dev language with Django and flask as the popular frameworks.

We're looking to hire on the web Dev side [0]. We do get a number of people who have more of a scripting focus, but limited web Dev experience. I think some of that comes because of the online MOOC phenomenon and the proliferation of python courses that are really python scripting (not python web dev) courses.

I'm curious what the HN community thinks of my hypothesis of that split and if the "incredible growth" is one-sided as a scripting language.

Of course it's bunk we are not even close to this level for DNA.

Why would Nature publish a rebuttal? What next, proof flat earthers(aka funny trolls) are wrong.

In economics, price discrimination results in less consumer welfare as customers are charged prices closer to their maximum willingness to pay.

Price discrimination is bad for consumers.

They do. It's a $5k upgrade.
If that's all it came down to I'd agree with you

but I don't know of any ICE models where the difference is solely software that locks features down (or, as you said, drilling a hole somewhere to limit functionality). They may share parts like bodies or engine blocks (not sure, I'm not a mechanic) - but there's a lot of additional hardware that makes it safe for them to beef things up via software.

not sure though - can you think of any two ICE models where difference between the two is solely locked down via software? or the only difference is a hole drilled in a cylinder, etc etc. It may exist and I'm just not aware of it.
Poorly researched.

They kicked Sacramento off the first round "1 million or more" yet there are 2 million in the greater Sacramento area, strong job growth and local economy, affordable housing, and decent tech chops (ok not the Bay Area by a long shot). The SMA has no detectable boundaries between cities; they just blend together.

I wonder how many other cities were eliminated due to poor research.
Yes. Because it would result in a lower price for the larger battery version.

Price discrimination is horrible for consumers.
I was thinking about this today and realized something about tech/finance/entertainment... hubs.

The best way to get one is by having major players in the industry set up shop there. Cities hope the next big tech company will be in their city, but lots of the employees that switch companies to help startups grow come from top companies and it is way easier to get people to switch companies if they don't have to move.

Seattle has become a good tech hub due to amazon and microsoft.

I think whatever city wins this will have a massive long term tech hub boost because of it. This will probably be many times better for a cities economy than some factory.
I lost an entire YouTube channel once. "TOS violation" was the only explanation given. No recovery option. It was almost entirely me playing instruments. No idea what the problem was. Absolutely no idea why they obliterated the whole channel. Surely not every video of me playing piano managed to violate the TOS. I wish there was a way to hold them accountable, but they're far too gargantuan.
But they can upgrade those plants to capture some of the pollution or replace them with renewables.. which they'll eventually do.

That's a lot easier than replacing everyones cars. The article talks about ending sales... it's going to take another 10-15 years before they're off the road.
You (and I) are definitely in the minority here. "Go back and do a computer science degree" is probably the opposite wish of lots of software engineers, in terms of quantity.

From what I know, there are at least three classes in some universities (forgot the names) whose professors/TAs told me they were teaching Reason to decent success. Reason's also used in this users study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.07583.pdf. Reason removes the unfamiliarity part in order for them to get to the core of the research, which is still done in OCaml.

Don't lose hope! =)
I know they eliminated Pittsburgh right out of the gate, but I think it has a bunch of things going for it. It's one of the few places where housing is cheap (but a pretty beautiful downtown) but young tech workers would love to live: tons of stuff to do but lots of knowledge workers with CMU. Biggest obvious issue is no direct flights to Seattle, but if Amazon built a headquarters there it seems like it would be easy to reach critical mass to add more flights

We are not remotely on the edge of famine. Something like 80% of our crop production goes to feeding very calorie inefficient livestock. In any real famine they would be slaughtered and their food intake would be redirected to human consumption. We are nowhere near the limits of the population Earth can support, at least food wise.
The good news about failing at absolutely everything in your 20s
If I've learned anything from recent developments, it's that the right will play contrarian to anything like this. They'll just drum up a post facto reasoning along the way.
We have literally centuries of history in engineering in the physical sciences to use as an example.

Consumer Reports buys cars anonymously to avoid just this class of issues. I don’t know which other reviewers do this – it’s obviously more effort and expense than testing a car that the manufacturer gifted or lent you, or even that they knew the intended use of.
There can be, basically. But you often end up with huge repetitive mountains of JSON data, which isn't a ton of fun to maintain by hand, so then you write a tool to generate it from some other input data. Surprise, now you've invented a single-purpose DSL! What if you had a language that could serve as your input DSL, while remaining deterministic and still being flexible enough that you could skip the aforementioned dsl-to-json tool and just write that in the same config language? That's exactly what Nix is, along with some similar languages (Jsonnet, Dhall, Flabbergast, ...). They end up being useful as a way of generating whatever boilerplate or repetitive or obtuse input data you need to drive some system. Sure, you could do it in Python, but there's too many ways of doing non-deterministic non-hermetic things in a general-purpose language like that. Nix and Jsonnet and friends have no facilities for directly writing to disk, or talking to the network, or depending on some weird library being installed locally. They're just static configuration languages, and that can be extremely useful.
It boggles my mind when people think they can out-talk people trained to parse semantics.

What's with this weird message flow where everything flows through the client -- is this a "feature" of 3D Secure?

I've implemented plenty of CC billing over the years but always submitting from the backend server to the merchant API directly - never from the client (that includes Stripe-like JS solutions).

Classic blunder for a backend to trust the client to handle the 'amount' field in any way. Feels a lot like the good old "store the cart total in a hidden field and trust it verbatim" bugs all the shopping carts used to have!
I said on the last thread we had on this that I think PHL is the weak link. It's not a great airport in terms of runways and other facilities and is at capacity.

A plan to expand it a few years back was killed by local opposition. There was supposed to be an alternative plan developed after that, but I'm not sure whatever happened to it.

I don't know what the time frame on an expansion would be or if the city would be willing to consider it, but as it stands the airport is a real Achilles heal.
If I work in Detroit, I can visit my family in Southern Ontario or Michigan over the weekend. This makes a huge difference.
Us rich people will probably be fine (unless the situation was decades long), but many people in the world won't be able to pay the higher prices. If you are currently spending 70% of your income on food and prices triple then you will starve.
C# 7: Discards
The mid-tier is far more consistent in Japan. The tradeoff is it mainly only includes Japanese food. Which is vast and amazing. But in my experience I'd say a "typical" Japanese restaurant is of higher quality than a "typical" Western restaurant. The tradeoff is that you have more variety and acceptance (and embrace) in the West.

Tokyo is better if you have 2 weeks. NYC is better if you have a year. At least today.

It sounds like several of you know more than I do about this, so I'm curious... I'm in the habit of using Priority Mail for things like this, because I can print out a mailing label at home and get a tracking number with delivery information.

Assuming I put the tracking number in the letter as you suggest, is there still an advantage to using certified mail and a green return receipt instead? Or is Priority Mail equally good?
Your argument makes sense and I'm not advocating for people to replicate the experience, especially not with the current prices.

My argument merely goes: if you threw away some marginal amount of initial (real) cash at something, and for some reason that something paid you back in full, with bonus and interest, then the price can tank as much as it wants since I'm cashed out.

From there I don't care if 90% of the unit price is pure speculative pressure, as long as I find a counterparty for my trades.

Does this make sense to you, if not why?
