It's not too far. Maybe You don't feel effects of antisocial media, but i do. Few years ago if friends wanted to go swimming. They were calling each other, there was human interaction. Now it's event on facebook. If You dont have favebook you're basically not a friend anymore, because noone is going to call You and invite. This is the effect of social media on our civilisation. It's like in '60 doctors were recommending smoking as stress reliever and everyone agreed until they knew better.

They have planned this for years. The "new roadster" and even plaid has been announced for years. More than that, Production starts 3 YEARS from now. If they still have model 3 problems by then, I'll be surprised.
i remember the Scorpion guy claimed to have built something like that and somehow applied it to war scenario modeling in Afghanistan? Smelled like a crock of b.s. but then again I don't have a 200 IQ

We agree, then. Simplifying a bit, M0 (physical cash) is lower than M1 (M0 + checking accounts) and M2 (M1 + savings accounts) which are the usual measures for money in circulation. Note that there are also broader definitions of money, including as well long-term deposits and other money-like instruments.
I checked it, and I hope so MySQL can be supported too.
pspg is just pager - it is not data formatter, so raw data like CSV cannot be processed there. But if some tool translate data to MySQL or PostgreSQL tabular format, then this pager can be used.
Very unlikely. With power you weight beyond useful (this has basically been "solved" since the day someone built a cat around a ww2 military aircraft piston engine), acceleration is determined by aerodynamics (drag and downpressure), tires and the time spent shifting gears. It's pretty evident where Tesla has the advantage.
I dont think it will before Tesla. The Porsche Mission E which is sceduled for 2019, is slower than a Tesla Model S P100D.

It's incredible how you trivialize SpaceX achievements. I get it that you probably hate Elon Musk for whatever reason. But you should really calibrate your bias filter.
The "Spanish" flu epidemic of 1918 resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million. The fact that we haven't had a similar epidemic since is in large part due to the work of groups like WHO and CDC. But this preventive work is not unlike IT departments making backups -- nobody thinks it is that important until the system fails.
This sort of response REEKS of near sightedness.

"The big guys won't go for it. Therefore, it won't succeed". That's a recipe for somebody who isn't a "big guy" to start their business literally this instant, and outcompete the "big guys" in five years because they were able to throw off the shackles of tradition and learn from the past as well as embracing current technology.
To use PayPal - you have to have your money in PayPal, or it will use an underlying credit card. So, it's really just like using a bank account to pay directly.

Most people don't like having to keep a separate current amount in PayPal to buy stuff.

Also - I'm not sure if the merchant fees that PayPal charges are any less, i.e. they didn't take the 'no fees' angle for the merchants.

And of course there is the consumer benefit: even if a system only charged 0% to merchants, and not 2-3%, well, consumers don't care. So getting enough consumers to sign up is hard.

VISA / AMEX prevent merchants from advertising cheaper prices for use of other cards - so even if a merchant had a 0% processor option, they're not allowed to discount by 2-3% for that card vis-a-vis VISA / AMEX.

It's a tightly controlled oligarchy. It's huge, entrenched, it's entire consumer financial system. Going after it would be economic thermonuclear war.

A disruptor will have to come from an outside angle - or - be huge and have their own base.

So I can see Amazon just 'doing it' themselves, for their own customer base, which equals a critical mass.

Or - someone does something 'online' that shakes things up, and that bleeds over into the brick and mortar. A crypto-currency ... I can see doing that in some way.
I took cold showers in the evening. First few months, sicknesses just felt less bad. After about five months, I stopped to need sick days. I also need less warm cloth normally now, basically my body reacts less badly to cold.

I needed frequent sick days back then when I started (it was long term bad health state).
the radioactive element? what was the promise you were excited about?
In the consumer/household space, sure. 3D printing is huge in prototyping and hardware R&D though. High-end printers are even good enough for mass production runs now.
How does the mileage and recharge time compare to a traditional semi-truck? And are there enough charging stations along trucking routes?
This is what makes a European a European, and an American, American. We have different standards and expectations about the social contract between enterprises and society.

Also, no wonder American companies tend to grow a lot faster without many impediments. The whole American system is built to support and protect the enterprise, not the people. In Europe, as an enterprise, you have a lot more requirements and obligations to fulfill.

And even though I have a disadvantage running a company in Europe as compared to the US, as a European I believe it's the right thing to do.

I'm not sure how different this is with Cython since you can also write C/C++ code with it, and hence use any C/C++ libraries. I say that the benefit offered by the example is more of bringing the Rust ecosystem to Python than solving performance issues.
> My friggin circa 1984 Mac Plus felt faster on most stuff than the generic desktop PC

You do have some merit to the argument, but your 1984 Mac didn't have half as "pretty" UI, and that matters to some people. It didn't do dynamic language processing to figure out if you've made a grammatical error. It did not have to continuously scan every data stream for malware. It did not have to use a significantly restricted environment to limit damage when some malware did get through. It didn't even support multitasking. My point is that computers today do so much more, but responsive UI is entirely possible for desktop applications, but the development cost is more than most companies/people are willing to pay.
Rolling acceleration and track handling are more important than Drag racing. Bit fed up of 0-60 times being such an important feature. 50-70 more important, handling a bit more important again. And of course for most people build quality, running costs and environmental credentials.
i was also extremely excited about them but didnt bet a career. i think its a combination of the tech (esp battery tech but also networking) not quite being there yet + a lot of people just plain don't wear watches no matter what. i wouldn't give up on them just yet (for that subset of the general population)
It's a bad thing, because it shows the minimum wage isn't enough and zero-hours contracts aren't keeping people out of poverty.

But people in work who do over sixteen hours per week and who are claiming eg working family tax credits are not free-loading.

This is one of the mechanisms that's designed to get people back into work. There's a benefit cap in place, and that cap is removed if you work more than 16 hours per week.
I doubt accident rates will be impacted that much.

When you fly to a country that drives on the other side of the road from you and then rent a car, you are sitting on the other side of the car entirely.

It takes a couple of hours at worse to get used to it for a manual transmission, automatics are even easier.
I Googled it and it is possible.

The easiest way is to use AAA who will handle all the DMV work for the conversion of title from commercial vehicle to something else.

So who is in on this? If that is the price this will work well.
That list comes with a fair warning about its reliability at the top though¹. English is indisputably the largest second language (L2) spoken in the world, and is vying for the position of most spoken language with Mandarin Chinese.

Well, with cython, either you write python compiled to C, and you won't match rust perf nor types, or you write c/c++ and bind it to python, and you won't match rust safetiness.
You may very well be right. The Mission E is closer to a Panamera than a 911.

Regardless, very interesting to watch the competition heat up.
absolutely. there are things that demo well and then there are things that just fade into daily use because they just make sense.

That seems like a meaningless claim without size and distance from the blast.
Total layman here, but I thought one would use Rust because it’s easier to write “safe” code with it than C/C++, while maintaining an equivalent low-level speed advantage.
This is moving a lot faster than you think, we may be thinking more in years than generations.
It does not imply placebo through. I was recommended cold showers cause I was frequently ill. I seemed to catch everything that went around. For first months, sickness just felt less bad - but that was enough motivation for me to continue. The reduction in sick days started later on. A year later definitely, I had measurable down in sick days. I basically don't need them now. I think sick days started to get better five-seven months after I started, but a year after they were basically non-existent.

I also handle cold much better. I need less warm cloth to feel good. Where I was shivering and needed something warm before, I wear t-shirt now and feel good.
It's way beyond that.

1. it makes changing a tire more complicated, and time is money, the longer it takes to change a blown tire the higher the penalties

2. when a semi tire goes, it goes hard, as GP noted with this arrangement the cowling will probably shatter, requiring a replacement (not just a replacement tire) and the pieces taking out other tire. If the cowling does not break, it will funnel bits of tire straight into the next tires, blowing all of them.
I've had a quick look through and I really like this. Bookmarked for future reading.

As a security person, I have just one request - in 2.9 you explain/recall how functions look in C, then you explain printf, then the first C statement you execute is

printf("Enter an unsigned decimal integer: ");

Please, please can this kind of thing be printf("%s", "Enter an unsigned decimal integer: ");

I know this string is a compile-time constant, so it's not going to hurt anyone, but you're teaching people the old myth that printf(string) is the way to print a string and at some point they'll try this with a user-supplied string.

In my opinion, a printf with only one argument is always a code smell.

EDIT: also, the solutions to exercises 1 and 2 in 2.16 are vulnerable to buffer overflows.

I don't think "This site has been found to be a scam" should be done in the distribution channel, but rather like Google's safebrowsing initiative... Just, maybe not Google-operated.

To me, I think I would imagine a website doing something illegal to be more akin to a newspaper ad that sells something illegal. It's not illegal for me to bring a newspaper home from a country with ads about services that are legal where the newspaper is from, but illegal in my home-country. So, why should bringing the ad over digitally be any different?

The illegal may only occur once the service is ordered/used, and only so if it is illegal to be the recipient/import (sometimes things are illegal to sell, but legal to buy).

Strong glass doesn't necessary has to be hard to remove glass. Those are two different things.

Pressing a mechanical button or two should easily disassemble the glass gracefully. At the same while the glass is fixed it should ideally be immune to damage.
> But the Model 3 production fiasco shows they don't know how to do what Detroit and Wolfsburg and Toyota City do.

What fiasco? It was obvious from the start that their schedule was wildly optimistic. But that's probably just Elons way of pushing workers as hard as possible.

It's way too early to call the Model 3 a success or failure. Of course it takes a few months to ramp up and stabilize production. It's their first truly mass produced car, and there's a lot of differences from their previous model. Not to mention that they're using a brand new battery.

Let's wait a year to call the Model 3.
I have a feeling that the right timing of English-speaking political dominance in 19th and 20th century combined with global information technology boom has contributed a lot here. It could have been French (and in a sense was) if they had had movies and Internet earlier.

To me English doesn't feel logical at times (maybe a subjective observation) but at least we all can agree that the ortography with its historical baggage is not optimal.

Personally, I think the most helpful thing has been the cultural dominance of English language movies and TV series in my youth. Also, much of today's computer technology coming from the US, all that material is in English. It could have been any of those languages, because I don't strongly believe in that languages are intrinsically difficult to learn. They are just different. And typologically, English is quite distant from my native language.
So why have a full pretty UI at the cost of latency?

If the latency begins to cross a threshold and begins to be inconvenient or distracting, it is time to step and think that may be the pretty UI is too ahead of its time, and we should stop making the UI prettier than it can be at this time.

The best advice I got about using the subway in Japan was this: if you're not sure where to queue up, just stand somewhere and people will queue behind you. Sure enough it works like magic.
Over the last centuries there were a number of truck and bus manufacturers who tried the single/middle seat design. It was never a seller for any of those.

If you take someone with you, you don't want to sit him/her to sit behind you. You want them to sit next to you. If you are on the road in the city, you have often colleagues with you, like in a moving company and alike. Such trucks are used in construction work where things damage easily because someone else crashes in your truck. No assistant in your truck will prevent that.

Honestly, it seems they may have talked to some friends or their delivery companies, but not with companies from the industry.

This isn't an agreement with the parents comment about Tesla but re-usable rockets weren't invented by SpaceX. The idea existed for a while and various projects got to different stages. Including a functional 'McDonnell_Douglas_DC-X'.

The project got taken over by NASA and the budget cut before being axed. You really do sound a bit too fanatical and should probably question more instead of accepting companies as entirely revolutionary.

In the context of optimization, a star refers to the value of the variable that minimizes (or maximizes) a function you're interested in.

You will also see a hat over a variable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_operator#Estimated_value) sometimes (from statistics) which is an estimate of some quantity from data (and that estimate may be obtained by minimizing a function - solving an optimization problem)

While I actually agree with Animats, I do feel the need to point out that I do not agree that the Model 3 is the "truly disruptive product" vs. this newly announced Roadster... this car has a 620 mile range... that is "truly disruptive"; the Model 3 only has at its best a 334 mile range: this is finally an electric car that can rival the long-range convenience of a gasoline vehicle (as no matter what the range, filling up your take with gas is essentially instantaneous vs. trying to charge a battery).
You can connect PayPal to your bank without a credit or debit card, so yes, they can be out of the equation if the consumer wants to.
I don't think PayPal or card fees are significant in this discussion of micropayments. The issue of micropayments is getting people to pay at all, either 0% or 100%. A 3% detail doesn't have a huge effect on why they aren't commonly used.
The thing is that sound is associated with speed because a bigger/stronger engine is usually louder.

Electrics will break that association. Or it will create a new expectation about what a fast car sounds like. Because from now on, they will always be faster than ICE vehicles.

I think there will be a niche of people buying ICE cars for their loud sound, just as there are people who buy the loudest possible motorcycles even though they're not very fast. But I think this will be a niche, and they will probably be considered obnoxious people.

I think we'll also see more sound engineering in EVs. They'll perhaps get a more satisfying sound, but will still be quiet.
I think most JS fans these days recognize the inherent problems with JS, and work around them with best practices (on the lenient side) or linters and more advanced preprocessors like type checkers (on the strict side). At the end of the day, by far the main advantage of JS is the fact that there are mature and reliably-updated implementations with a relatively easy and open distribution platform on virtually every modern computing device (browsers and the World Wide Web). Some of the other fundamentals of the language are nice (particularly first-class functions), while the bad fundamentals (particularly the hopelessly messy type coercion) are now well-recognized and hopefully avoided through various techniques.
