This article is about people without access using illegal drugs to self medicate. The title could be 'I was ill and used before it was cool.' I'm not judging, but maybe that's one thing we could be talking about.
That's interesting. Are they actually using personalization to get better prices?

I'm thinking of scenarios where if two different browsers visit the same page, they'll get shown different prices depending on their cookies etc. In that case, a third-party site can't really "route you" to a lowest available price, they have to help you make the purchase from the right browser environment.
Amazingly this doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia entry. Perhaps someone with some historical knowledge could put one together.

Tesla actively cools its batteries and chose a long lasting battery chemistry. The Leaf, does not cool the battery, and the early Leaf model had a really bad chemistry.

Consider that houses already typically run on electricity, and people who frequently get power outages buy gas generators - they don't say "I want a pure electric house, so I won't buy a generator" if they need and can afford it.
No, actually, since it's unclear how much braking regeneration will provide, when I brake I start by taking my foot off the accelerator but if I'm at all in doubt, I'll put my foot over the brake.

Also, since Tesla regenerative braking always turns off below 5 mph, I always have my foot over the brake pedal at low speeds.
I suspect there is money to be made selling a "just a phone". That pretends to do only your list above and heavily optimised the the usability an reliability of that subset. Any user-visible changes to those apps would be done only very conservatively.

It would be a lie though. Since it really would be a Turing complete phone, with lots of programs on it. That was true even of the old Symbian phones, and items from 3-6 go well beyond what they did.

Nonetheless, I think there is benefit to be gained by trading flexibility for reliability. One business difficulty/opportunity is how do you pick out services like Uber, AirBVnB etc. I suspect the solution is profitable, but user hostile: lock them into a vendor when they buy their phone.
It frustrates me when I look at things so far from "dessert" like a can of chili, and find corn syrup or even sugar in the ingredients. Most great homemade recipes don't use that sugar, so why should the store bought stuff?
Rails adoption in the U.S. relative to it competitors - Laravel, Node and Django - is much higher than anywhere else. Outside London Rails adoption is very low in Europe.
I'm sure they do, I thought this video[0] was pretty interesting. He took a bunch of Tesla owner's datapoints and mapped it out. The battery will basically last you 25 years.

My understanding is that they are 100-year theses (serious), so I don't think they operate under the same return trajectories you would see elsewhere.
I guess he means something closer to treated as an authentification means.

It identifies someone but it doesn't authentify him. Just like shireboy is your identity but it doesn't authentify you.
All SEZs (special export zones) are set up like this: they are in China, but technically outside of China for import purposes. So that iPhone that is "made in China" is actually more expensive because it is made in an SEZ and must be imported into China.

Actually going in China would require a JV (joint venture), which would likely siphon off a lot of IP that Tesla wants protected, let alone profits. China is not the champion of free trade that they pretend to be.
The first thing retailers will probably try is simply modifying their terms of service. I'm not sure what argument they'll come up with there.

An analogy I'm thinking of is, imagine the website has a box that asks you to input your age, then it shows you your price. If you put in a number over 40, the price will be higher. Now you can just put in a number under 40 and get a lower price, but their response would be to make it against their terms of service to "lie" about your age.

Similarly, they will equate using "someone else's cookies" to lying and claim it is morally wrong and illegal and against their TOS. Even though what they're doing is discrimination.
It seems to me people over estimate the abilities of science. Obviously the conclusion “the universe shouldn’t exist” ought to be rejected as a naturalistic theory because the universe _does_ exist.

I don't believe they hide degradation. They do use less than the full capacity of the batteries in order to minimize degradation, though. Lithium batteries hate extremes, so if you map the official "0-100%" range to an actual range of, say, 10-90%, that will greatly prolong the life of the battery.

Solution of your work
A couple counterpoints, there's something like 11 million hybrids on the road today. I'm also somebody who would like to buy an all electric car for various reasons, but the cars just aren't there yet.
I believe Intel tests in Chengdu, they don't need final assembly of CPUs.

Intel also has an Asian fab in Singapore, I think.
Absolutely! In the past year, I've been doing more computing on a tablet and I don't block ads on the tablet. I am logged in to a variety of sites and make zero effort to hide my activity.

I started paying attention to the ads about six months ago, because I'd manage to notice how poorly targeted they were when I did see them. They are terrible.

I think the best targeted ads have been from a company that sells barn doors. Really, they are in fact selling barn doors online. That's a very compelling ad for me. Except, you know, I already have doors for the barns. I am not actually in the market for new barn doors.

I don't actually need a bra, free for thirty days. I don't have breasts. The missus doesn't use my tablet and actually has her own network connection as I tend to saturate mine sharing Linux isos and stuff like that.

I don't need a used car. I have more than adequate automotive sources already. I'd buy a used car, but it would not be a Toyota that has just come off lease. Maybe try selling me a 900S Turbo from 1992?

I don't have any major medical problems, trying to sell me drugs is pretty silly. I don't need insurance, I'm already well insured. I'm not concerned about paying the least amount for insurance, I'm concerned with the best coverage and service. An ad for, "We are dirt cheep but just shoot you if you're involved in an accident insurance" is not very interesting.

They have vast amounts of information on me. Why not try to sell me a new plow? I'm kinda in the market for one. Why not something to do with hunting, fishing, gardening, or food preservation? Not one ad has has any of those things. They know I own a Kubota, why not advertise some new implements?

I don't get it... I'll buy stuff. I'm more than happy to buy stuff. I love buying stuff. I buy stuff I don't need - all the damned time. Yet, literally no ads have compelled me to click and make a purchase. I have clicked, I just haven't found anything worth buying. I've never bought anything from a placed Internet ad, except when I was searching specifically for that product.

Something is broken.
It does on the Tesla.
This is less of an issue than you might think: Tesla ships adapters for the most common non-Tesla charging ports.

Ask HN: Tell recruiter about interviews by other recruiters
I have a recruiter helping me and we've been working through a few roles, one moving along in the process. I have no formal offers.

A new role came up through another agency, my details were passed onto them by someone I know, and I am going to interview for the role they have.

Guessing that I know the answer, but is the first recruiter to know that I am going to another interview from other agencies, and more importantly, do I need to tell them the name of the other Company I'd be interviewing at? I'm thinking that if I do that's a sign of trust but giving away company name as well could just open them up to another CV push for other candidates, or worse they give me grief for exploring roles.

How much do I need to share in general when hunting for new jobs - do I tell recruiters about other roles they may not have eyes over, tell them I'm interviewing elsewhere and not mention the Co's, or just keep it hush?
That sucks. Our GM dealer installed some counterfeit electrical parts (I bought it new!) and then it developed electrical issues — if you left it off for 8 hours it would sometimes drain the battery and fail to start.

At that point, other GM dealers refused to look at it without taking a large up-front deposit.

Corporate didn’t actually use the words “pound sand”. It would have saved me time if they had.

Eventually, I took it to a Chevy dealer, and they upgraded the radio firmware. The electical problems were caused by a CAM protocol bug that prevented the ABS from powering off sometimes.

This was all in the first 1000 miles.

It had unrelated issues due to the fake parts, but the dealer “honored” the warranty by switching them out for a different brand.
And yet another case of "the poor have no morals or responsibility, and deserve terrible they get" - no matter that evidence / research doesn't show this. And in fact shows the opposite.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry reading "Wheat Belly". Honestly, how does a person who writes such garbage even call himself a doctor. It should be a case study for a textbook on what bad science is, and how we are very ill-served by celebrity-doctor types who try to make a lot of money off their brand.
So I actually do some work in this area, hence me asking the question.

The conventional method is aluminum. New methods include UHMWPE (polyethylene, same stuff grocery bags are made of) and Kevlar. There's doping methods to help some of these materials, but it can be really complicated.

Carbon Fiber, what they are using, isn't really that great for shielding. I've personally run simulations on this, and untreated CF isn't that great of a shield. So my question is, are they treating their CF? Are they using dopants? What resins are they using? What altitudes will they be flying at? These things matter very much.

Hey, Brad. This is an important issue. Thanks for raising it. I'll look into this ASAP. Does the page not load at all on handheld/desktop?
I am curious how does one go about disposing of an electronic vehicle like this when the time comes - whether from an accident or just EOL'd? Is that included in this price? Or does one need to factor that into the TCO of the vehicle?

Given the batteries I'm guessing this requires special attention compared to a combustion engine car.
The IKAROS sail (launched 2010) is 196 m^2, using aluminum as a reflector (about 90% efficiency). With regards to transferring a lens to orbit, that is a self-solving problem - a large lens or mirror can both be used as a solar sail, potentially even hauling additional mass to Mars orbit.

Mars receives 593 W/m^2 flux, so each IKAROS-sized reflector could produce about 100 KW of energy. Given the expected difficulty of large scale terraforming and colonization efforts, it seems the cost of, say, the equivalent of 10,000 IKAROS-sized mirrors (~1 GW, comparable to a large nuclear plant) would be relatively minor.

Whether that would be more cost effective than shipping an equivalently powerful reactor or other generator is questionable - it will presumably depend on our lifting capacities.
Bigger bills would also be nice when doing things like privately purchasing used cars, or more expensive Craigslist items. Multi-thousand dollar items are common on the used market.

But one thing seriously needs to change as well: The level of cash considered "suspicious" by law enforcement.
I did, Gus. I woke up in shock when I saw the comments and views. Thanks to everyone. It's most appreciated.

From what I could gather from this talk at Strangeloop, RDL seems like an evolution or expansion of Diamondback: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=buY54I7mEjA (See ~21:30ish for discussion of the various attempts along the way.)

Was a really interesting and well-done talk, IMO. I am not a type system geek, but thought it was fascinating to hear all of the tradeoffs that go into designing a system like this.

It is important to note that afterburners, while they give you extra speed, are pretty much like dumping fuel overboard.
How about fastmail.com?
Am I missing something or does the author not explain why bring back specifically the $500 bill? The defense seems to be, "Well, in case of catastrophe, we should have cash," which I agree with, but that still doesn't explain why the $500 note. If anything, the author makes a good case for maintaining smaller denominations.

What social media is destroying is the curation of accessed knowledge.

As a nontechnical person I wonder what they need to say that they didn't say.

We have places around the world where one plate is diving under another plate. Subduction zones. The extrapolation is that the diving plate persists in some form as it dives into the mantle, and can be identified with the position it once occupied on the surface. These pieces of crust are cooler than the mantle they are immersed in. One reason we can track them is they propagate seismic waves at a faster velocity than the surrounding mantle. I'm not a geologist and I welcome feedback on my interpretation of the abstract and other materials.
I am part of this area of high school / pre college research and part of a high school that is successful in having students reach high levels of high school research including myself, so I can shed some insight. These kinds of stories show up all the time and it is usually the case that they have received some kind of outside help. But in the world of competitive high school research, there is a lot more emphasis on making innovations which are successful and more immediately applicable at the trade off of being something superficial or abandoning projects or ideas that don't appear to be immediately amazing or successful since they are easy to quickly dismiss in a competitive environment. However, there are plenty of amazing students who go on and win ISEF and other top competitions who collaborate with professors and engineers and I certainly encourage collaboration like this. Although, within my own research, I have remained independent since at my school, my research director's and other research teachers' main field is in biology or chemistry, leaving little domain specific assistance for me who has perused projects with heavy electrical engineering and computer science knowledge and skills. I have tried to reach out to professors before, but I can be hard to find someone whose project ideas and interests align with yours (without having to travel long distances to meet and work with them at their universities which I am able to do). The world of high school research is fiercely competitive and without some kind of collaboration or connections with professors and professionals, it becomes almost impossible to reach the top and be successful. I have managed to do this on my own but it has been a struggle and very competitive and hard journey in which I regret not finding someone such as a professor to work with. I sometimes worry that my research friends and high schoolers that pursue research will abandon or forget about the idea core values of research and collaboration in the unforgiving world of high school competitive research. I know this has kinda turned into a rant but if you have any questions about the world of competitive research or my own research I would be glad to talk about it since I rarely see this subject talked about outside of the high school research community.

I can't speak for GM cars but the Leaf regenerative braking isn't enough to stop the car in this situation, only slow it.

To me regenerative braking feels like putting the car in D3 or turning off overdrive. As soon as you stop giving enough gas to accelerate or hold speed it just drags the car down.

I would never expect it to slow the car to a stop for me.

Also in the Leaf the amount of regenerative braking applied is diminished if the car is over 90-95% charged. It has 4 dots indicating level and they have halos indicating the max possible based on conditions.
It's really not that hard. A bit of electronics comprehension is the only requirement, and there are many helpful people about and hackerspaces for those who are new. For example this Wednesday my favourite hackerspace https://lab0x0.com/ is offering a free introductory course in English for people totally new to arduino. There are tonnes of books and resources online, and a friendly 24x7 WeChat group for live help. A shopping trip to buy sensors and bits in town here can be completed in half a day and under $100 (including soldering equipment), two days of hacking and anyone motivated will be on top of the basics.
I am just wondering - people say there is no bubble until there is news of irrational exuberance. Bubbles like 2001/08 etc. I am no VC but doesn't this sound like the irrational exuberance?
I believe this only applies to charging tech so that the whole industry is standardized for charging stations. I don't think Tesla shares any of their chemistry, power management, and other high value IP.
I've used this for a while, it's good.
I think you should replace "taken to an extreme" with "monetized in the pursuit of mythical unbounded growth". It's usually not the concept itself taken to the extreme, it's all the other crap bolted on because otherwise it's merely profitable, and that doesn't suffice anymore.
I wonder if it would be a reasonable colonization process to establish a non-breathable atmosphere, allowing postprocessing facilities to later separate oxygen from airborne water vapour.

The notable benefits from such an approach would be the ability to easily deliver asteroid-based water deposits (aim it at Mars, let reentry do the rest), as well as the significant simplification of ground based colonization technology - it's far easier to build resilient habitats for a non-breathable atmosphere than it is for a vacuum, and the risk of accidents and difficulty of venturing outside is much, much lessened (a face mask or filter and oxygen tank instead of a bulky spacesuit), not to mention the radiation protection afforded by a thick atmosphere.
All the cars I mentioned have internal combustion engines, FWIW.

I wonder if the volt does so well because of limited range — I doubt typical owners clock many highway miles at speed, given that it is most useful in congested cities.

Anyway, here are lists of recalls across their lines. Glancing at it reveals shocking things (the GMC canyon hood can unexpectedly open, and it has killed people, to pick one at random).

I don’t know of a decent comparison of such things across makes, but from a qualitative perspective, I think GM’s recent track record is unacceptable.

If Tesla built a factory in a mainly minority neighborhood, would you find it appropriate to wonder out loud whether employees would steal the parts? If not, why do you believe your comment and the insinuation are appropriate?

You may not have realized it, but the level of subtle racism is ridiculous.

Ask HN: Books to help me better empathize and communicate with others?
I hate to sound like a robot, but as an introvert my ability to express myself and sound genuinely empathetic (when I am empathsizing) sucks. I've read books like How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie but that really focuses on how to achieve YOUR goals. I want to A) better understand people and how they feel by being compassionate, B) learn how I can be a better person around them, and C) most importantly learn how to talk to people to help them feel better. As I begin managing others at work, and as I enter my 6th year of a serious relationship, I want to obtain better frameworks and experiences about helping lift others up and being genuine when communicative, while truly being someone who can help (without just paying lip service) to people of different cultures, ages, and most importantly my girlfriend as we both get older. What books would you recommend?
"'There is no basic internet knowledge among people funding the internet'"
Right, I see Prius and other hybrids everywhere. If people don’t seem to be asking for hybrids that may just be because they’re totally mainstream now.
Sorry, I really meant to refer to plug-in hybrids, not mild hybrids: https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

I totally understand that there are people who would buy a pure EV if it was cheaper, and that's not here yet.
If you don't have a network of fast superchargers, then your EV is automatically useless for road trips. Tesla is the only company that has built out this network. No other EV should be taken seriously unless they've built out theirs.
It would be a much stronger article if the author did more to counter the reasons for eliminating large denomination bills than simply to say "the positives outweigh the negatives". In particular, the argument that cash is useful under catastrophic circumstances seems very weak against the problems large denomination bills cause in everyday life.
But why should I pay my time to do that while someone else already made a bunch of answers better than mine?

If you seriously interested about the question you just asked, take your time, watch those videos.
