How would this work? I'm curious. Any subreddit created on the topic of "politics" is going to attract armies on each side, who will then use their collective "brigading" (sp) power to influence the sub? Maybe with a strong mod, who tries to balance submissions 50/50 - but then was is the point? If a republican, or democrat is doing something wrong/illegal/immoral - shouldn't we all know about it regardless of potential bias?
I would say with 99% certainty it wasn't stock tires.

Tesla specs special tires because one of their selling points is "look how quiet EVs are and how little maintenance they need". Said special tires have increased mass over normal tires. Tesla also needs to spec something that delivers a reasonable service life under a big heavy Tesla. You can't just hand wave and say "it's a 700hp rocket, of course it eats tires" because that doesn't fit their brand image. Then there's rolling resistance. They can't spec something that has a ton of rolling resistance because it would tank range.

All of those design criteria require trade-offs from traction and each other.
Whoops, just pushed up a fix. Just threw this together and didn't test it like I should have. Should be good now.

QueryStorm looks cool and appears to use SQLite for local joins on the desktop, which gets you pretty far (column store would probably get you further). My only gripe here is being tied to Excel and potentially what looks like limited data source support.
"A Markov chain could write the comment threads."

One wonders if one could construct a quality system for message boards that uses markov chains to predict common comment patterns and then reduce their visibility.

This would create a system similar to Amazon's "statistically unique phrases" view of books. Might be interesting to play around with.
I really liked aspects of my Windows Phone but there were other things that just drove me crazy. It would lock up when I was on a call and I wouldn't be able to do anything. I'd have to pull the battery in order to get it back to a usable state. The speakers were terribly soft too, I couldn't hear my phone ring if it fell under the couch. I absolutely loved the live tiles though.
I guess you would have an ICO to pay for improvements :)
In addition to the ones mentioned, another issue with GWT was that the differences in browser JS environments were much more salient in 2006 (IE6 was still a massively popular browser) and browser development tools were limited. If your script didn't work, debugging was likely difficult.
I suppose he could do all of these things, depending on how the contract is written. Some of these problems occur with real contacts, too. A smart contact just gets rid of a subset of the issues relating to money transfer and escrow.

It sounds like a proof of concept.
The interface isn’t there. That’s the issue.

Notice how all the sf implementations have a lightweight & fully immersive interface? You need tgat tech - and at a cheap commodity price - before you’ll see virtual worlds be a thing.

Until then you just have MMPOGs with some more creative options.
Yeah, this is really more of a reference and a tool when you’re comparing sizes and confirming they are the same aspect ratio without having to use code. There’s also an NPM module that will do the code part if you need to go that route.

Sounds interesting, but my threshold is probably too high, and I would skip most of them. When was the last time you enjoyed watching an ad? I can't remember, but it's rarely the case. If you combine this with the chance that you are the target of the ads, it's pretty low.
I'm no real estate expert, but I can confidently say this is a very poor idea. Or more specifically, this will turn out poorly for anyone except the person who collects all the cryptocurrency and runs away.
I’ve found it pretty unreliable. I was researching Teflon pans the other day, and all the instant answers were myths about how Teflon pans will give you cancer. And when you click no the sites, it’s usually clear if their answer is at all reliable or not. Stuff like that means I always have to do more work with instant answers than if I just ignore it.

They need a huge battery to make long-haul feasible (both from a range standpoint and a charging speed standpoint) and to make the battery last longer even on short trips.

And you have less resistive losses if you use multiple motors (or, say, one large motor) than one motor (or a small motor) for the same load due to: Power loss from resistance = I^2*R (resistance increases, but current decreases proportionally for the same load, so your power loss reduces).

So if you're going for efficiency and long-haul battery life, you already need a big battery and lots of electric motor power. You can leverage that for really strong regenerative braking, which translates to extremely long brake life and further efficiency (as well as being quieter). This also means you can go faster up AND down hills (speed down hills for trucks is limited by brake heating... if you're doing regenerative braking, very little heat is generated).

Also, by using multiple model 3 motors, they can get access to economies of scale that a small-run truck usually can't, which means you can afford to spend more on putting more motor in there.

So you end up with a truck that can do 0-60 in 20s with full load due mostly to other engineering considerations.
This, to me, is the biggest moral dilemma.

To avoid ("legally" or fraudulently) taxes is to push the burden onto the people who are paying their appropriate amount of taxes.

But to contribute to a corrupt, warmongering government, is also wrong.

What you can do - what I do - is choose to live in a higher taxed country that isn't nearly as bad with respect to how it spends tax money. And so long as you pay more taxes to the country you live in, you end up owing none to the US.

Sega Channel[0]. My buddy had it around ~1995 and it was amazing. Sleeping over at his house was always unique because they would change up what games they offered each month. There are game streaming services offered now, such as Playstation Now and I think Gamefly has game streaming as well, but it amazes me that it didn't catch on sooner.

I couldn't agree more, the number of anti-Tesla comments here are staggering.

You could literally copy-paste comments from the Roaster v1, Model S, and Model X launches and relate them to the Model 3. All of those were a success, and had initial production ramp issues.

Guess what, they all ramped. I can't tell you how disappointing it is to see the HN crowd fall for the SeekingAlpha narrative.
I'm not sure how I stand on this. On one hand, I like how this forum is mostly politic free. Political discussions are usually unproductive and it's very easy to get dragged into them. On the other hand, we have a community of well-behaved and knowledgeable people and a working moderation system. It's always interesting to read well-argued point of views from all sides of the spectrum.

Aboveground, even - I've seen claims that brokers will allow seller's discretion on where exploits can go. (E.g. "NATO only".) Northrup-Grumman, Raytheon, and Lockheed are commonly listed as zero day buyers. Presumably those channels either get passed on to American intelligence, or used defensively to make a "safer than the competition" claim.

It's certainly fairly overt, though I don't know the legal standing. Whether or not a researcher broke CFAA in finding a bug, is describing it to a third party a criminal act?

> I'm sympathetic to your general point but it doesn't seem very relevant to this discussion.

That you should judge the economy as a whole instead of picking one aspect and extrapolating what "our values are".

Europeans tend to view issues through a classist lens. That society is split up into the workers, and the capitalists, and that your ranking in the social hierarchy is solidified.

For better or worse, we don't see it that way. Today you're a worker, tomorrow you're a business owner. I would say America has more workers-turned-entrepreneur than anywhere else in the world. We have more millionaires who came from "worker" background than anywhere.

I've seen it first hand on multiple occasions. I've seen immigrants come to this country with nothing, work incredibly hard, build a business from scratch, and turn into employers in their community. It's the story of my family and many others here.

If the barrier for these immigrants starting a business was anything like complying with EU regulation - I promise you these businesses and their communities would not exist.
Many states use tax money to improve the lives of citizens by providing healthcare, education and so on.

How do you morally justify taking money away from those services just so you can buy a new Jaguar? How do you morally justify the increased tax burden on everyone else caused by you not contributing your fair share?

Also, Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor. He didn't steal from the rich and kept it to himself. If you believe something is wrong, then you fight to change that for everyone, not just yourself. Otherwise you are just some humongous douche.

Exactly my point. They could want to maximize profit AND not believe that 'taxation is theft' and have some anti libertarian beliefs for some of them
TL;DR taxation is ultimately backed up by the use of force, and is therefore morally identical to some asshole mugging you on the street.

(no, I'm not on board with the idea, but that's the gist. IMO it's a transparent rhetorical trick, but the emotion it drags along sure seems to convince/strongly-reinforce-convictions-for a certain set of people.)

There should be some real anti-trust concerns with Google providing answers to questions itself. Google gets those answers by crawling sites with content owned by others. It has avoided copyright issues by arguing that they only show a snippet of the content to aid finding the best search result, thus it is not reproduced in whole or in part, but that the searcher will still visit the page and benefit the copyright owner.

If Google just gives you the answer and there's no need to visit the page, then that is a much bigger issue I think.

/r/anarchism and /r/socialism are two that often advocate violence. The latter is dominated by "tankies", which is a term for communists who love Stalin, gulags, and tanks. They frequently take a "kill 'em all" approach. They are also often mocked by other lefties on Reddit, so please don't assume their opinions are popular.

/r/anarchism is a slightly more complicated case. They do advocate violence in a "bash the fash" way. But their intended victims are often those who advocate for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and other racist or misogynistic methods. Their violent earnestness is also often mocked by the rest of political Reddit.

/r/LeftWithoutEdge was a sub formed for serious discussion for lefties without resorting to violent speech. It doesn't get enough traffic so I urge any leftists / anarchists here to visit it occasionally.

Edit: I should add that one reason /r/anarchism and /r/socialism are still on Reddit is because they took the warnings of the admins seriously. /r/anarchism dialed their rhetoric back after being told they were on the verge of being banned. Most of the banned right wing subs ignored the warnings, and often doubled-down.
Propaganda in the form of outright lies rationalizing climate change and excessive consumption behavior.

This "reporter" is clearly biased and espouses uninformed "opinions" as a mere emotional, unscientific critic. Just look at http://beyondmeat.com/ “A persistent CEO, a meat buyer, and a gamble—how fake meat finally made it to beef aisle”* - Chase Purdy

Since meat production is the largest anthropogenic methane source and consumes the vast majority of calories, it is the third leading climate change. Animal agriculture and widespread fossil fuel energy extraction are suicidal.

I don't think the desktop is going anywhere - only the use case will shift around. Because at the time when smartphones will be able to beat today's desktops in performance, desktops will have evolved as well - it's always possible to pack more performance into a desktop case than into a smartphone case, with the technology available in any given moment.
Creator produces content. I pay creator for content. Did you just suggest that the most traditional, direct business model ever created, value for value, is a "bad" one?

There are really only a couple problems: consumers have become accustomed to freeloading, and that there's no system in place to enable micropayments for content. Once we figure out a way to enable paying, let's say, $0.01 to watch a video or read a news article, the web will fundamentally change in a positive way.
It's not money grabbing. It's money keeping. They aren't taking from others, but keeping the money the earned.
One important argument against this practice is that node_modules is usually not cross-platform. It's likely that somewhere within your dependency graph, there is a package that contains native code, which results in platform-specific binaries in your git repository.
I would still recommend Rails or Laravel(PHP).

Both are similar so choose the one you know/fits you best.

nothing to something:

Laravel you can go from zero to auth + dashboard in like 5 minutes. There are lots of packages to speed things along.

Some of the items I'm recommending are paid, but they are well worth the value they provide and support the creator of Laravel and has enabled him to work on Laravel full time and hire another full time developer to work on Laravel and these products.

There is also Laravel Spark that's basically SaaS in a box, it's $99/site but worth it for a head start.

Laravel has a really great community and great tools that make it super nice/fun to use.

Laravel Valet, quick and easy local dev env. for OSX.

Laravel Forge, it's a SaaS that will spin up servers on (Digital Ocean, AWS, +others) and allow quick deployments plus easy SSL setup through LetsEncrypt. (There is also envoyer.io for zero downtime deployments.

Why should GM or Ford or Sony advertise on a site that allows literal Nazis to congregate and discuss Nazi things and talk about how they hate non-Nazi? And maybe even organize rallies?

“But it’s only 0.002% of the content!”

It doesn’t matter. As soon as a news report says ‘Ford advertises with a site that supports Nazis’ those ads are gone.

So Ford won’t buy ads there in the first place.

And it doesn’t matter that the amount of content is quite small. Or that ‘supports Nazis’ means ‘doesn’t kick them off’.

Ford doesn’t want that story or any anything like it. And if it does happen you can bet every other big brand is Goni for to quickly figure out if they’re doing the same and pull their ads.

This is business. And VERY few companies of any size want to be associated with violence against women, Nazis, beastiality, or a lot of the other really seedy stuff that exists in the depths of Reddit.

Yes, there's absolutely no reason to use tokens here. It doesn't solve any the problems with the idea, of which there are several.

If you want to invest in the residential real estate sector the best way to do that is invest in a REIT that owns a portfolio of houses and rents them out. Not buy some shady smart contract token that may or may not entitle you to anything at all legally speaking and has god-only-knows what tax consequences.

Also:
I'm not really interested in having capital tied up in real-estate, but a lot of people are. And it makes sense as a middle ground investment - more conservative than stocks or crypto, but more aggressive than bonds or CD's.

This is laughable. Compare the Case-Shiller index of home prices: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case–Shiller_index#/media/File...

to real s&p 500 prices: https://2us9vjrl2kf1np7bx397xl07-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-...

And consider that real estate is typically owned with quite a bit of leverage while stocks typically aren't.
