This sudden change of heart always reminds me of Ming the Merciless' wedding vows in the film Flash Gordon:

Priest: Do you, Ming the Merciless, Ruler of the Universe take this Earthling, Dale Arden to be your Empress of the hour?

Ming: (pause) of the hour, Yes.

Priest: Do you promise to use her as you will?

Ming: (pause, then very slyly) Certainly!

Priest: Not to blast her into space?

Ming: (silence)

Priest: ....Until such time as you get the whim....?

Ming: I do.

I think people are blind to the creeping generally. They need way more time before they gain any trust from this space, especially after the Linux is Cancer comments, Halloween documents, general decline in privacy and general decline in ability to accept feedback (hey Scott Hanselman, where's our fix for SCVMM gone? - nothing back from MSFT for 16 days on github AGAIN)
With Firefox, you can turn an RSS feed into a virtual bookmark folder that always contains the newest items. I am not sure if Chrome can do this, With Internet Explorer I could not figure out how to get it to work.

But it is such a cool feature. Effectively, it allows me to embed a tiny RSS reader into the bookmark toolbar.
Or, you could use panicparse:

> Seriously, no one is concerned that Tesla is announcing, not one, but two new products, while they are failing to deliver on all three they are currently producing (in terms of production ramp-up)?

It's almost like.....there's nothing to say about Model 3 right now, where the bulk of their effort is going, because it's just a matter of steadily toiling away ramping up production, just like they said all along. It's almost like....a proportionately tiny amount of their engineering resources have been working on these other projects for some time, and they're just announcing them because.....they're ready to be shown off, and are unrelated to the Model 3 progress.

It's almost like....you're determined to cast this in a negative light, like so many others.
Isn't the current CEO against that strategy? I listened to an interview with him not long ago in which he said the biggest mistake they made was thinking that the market is winner take all. He instead proposed that they should be working with other companies because many times they share customers and that by working together they increase the total market size.
We already know what is going to happen in the long term: the foundation becomes highly dependent on MS funding and all decisions will be taken with the sole goal of keeping that money flowing. Should things get worse, someone eventually will fork the project, rinse repeat.
I agree with that. I think it just suffers from stigma, like online dating a few years ago. It's very easy to make fun of Second Life. For example, there's a scene in The Office where Dwight has an account, and Jim signs up in order to prank him, but then he ends up taking it too seriously and gets made fun of. All the articles I've read about Second Life paint a sad picture of lonely people in their basement or bedroom.

I would like to try a virtual world with facial feature tracking, like the new Animojis on iPhone X. It would be interesting to play a multiplayer game where you communicate with voice, body language, and facial expressions.

A VR headset obscures the eyes, so you couldn't use a 3D camera. Maybe a combination of 3D tracking and sensors inside the headset.

I'm not sure the Brave concept really needs blockchain - it could be implemented far more easily with a centralised DB. To be honest it looks like yet another ICO cashgrab

If it's that obvious, how come Tesla didn't know that? Contending that Tesla is incapable of comprehending basic, obvious facts isn't a great way to promote confidence in the company.

We're a long way from fiasco territory, sure, but it's also pretty clear Tesla are still quite a way off from getting their production process under control.
Any plans this weekend? Please no CodeSchool is free from Nov 17 – 19, 2017
Mostly, you want to generate a load of lift downwards to keep the thing attached to the ground.

But to answer your question, if you define "enough" as "enough to make it go airborne", then yes. You would then have to be very careful to make sure it is actually stable in the air, or the results could be very non-pretty. And then you also have the problem of keeping it going fast in the air, when previously your only forwards force was provided by the wheel contact with the ground.

Sorry, for not checking Wikipedia. Because I work in the industry as an electrical engineer defining standards, and owning a historic truck myself just for fun, because I can.

Originally, it is right that retarders were introduced to just having a non-destructive brake by just wasting the energy. That was around the 1980s. This was just to save maintenance cost as brakes were a big part of that costs.

The trucking industry is about costs and every little penny you can safe. So, years ago it started: Why do we waste that energy and do not re-charge the battery with that, because that reduces load from the generator and that will reduces fuel consumption?

Retarders have a huge impact in costs when your are counting miles. Retarders are having the disadvantage you can't brake to full stop with them. That's why they never worked in cars, because they are always additional to conventional brakes. So they add complexity and weight, both of which you want to reduce in cars.
If they care about security, they shouldn't pay more for chaining, because that gives security researchers incentive to hoard vulnerabilities, rather than report them ASAP.
GitHub introducing Security Alerts in project dependencies
I thought the same thing too. It's quite sad that talking to people is usually limited to dating, and dating has become a domain of Tinder.

I remember an era when chat rooms like IRC had thousands of people online at a time. It didn't scale past this, but it was very exciting.

Maybe there is a market for something like a real-time Reddit, but it's a lot harder to pull off because there needed to be many people on at the same time before it could but critical mass.
Next you'll be telling me Apple didn't decide on the final hardware design of the iPhone X in August. Pshaw!
Yes tho the Maclaren does comes closer as far as spec goes for about the same price (720s is £208,000 in the UK).
The top speed would be the interesting part how long can it actually sustain it.
Because nobody wants a car that doesn't have enough range to drive to the nearest hospital?
Hitting production targets isn't enough to keep wall street happy with Tesla though, to keep raising money and servicing the debt that they have, he needs to keep creating value inflection points to stoke the hype and keep the money coming in.

I agree that the main concern should be delivering cars but production delays are solvable while he is still raising money. As soon as he takes his foot off the pedal then their ability to raise money will be much harder than it is while he is announcing new stuff and increasing their risk of going under.

Worst case scenario with his current strategy: they run out of money and an acquirer buys them for the cost of their debt and gets a company with a fully fleshed out product roadmap and some solvable production issues (and no need to solve those issues quickly).

Drop the new product roadmap and focus on production: the going under acquisition is less attractive as they would be acquiring a company with a limited product roadmap and a load of production issues.

He is showing that the future is going to be so amazing that it is worth pouring money into Tesla.
The Chiron is an order of magnitude more expensive, and still fails to be quicker.
The basic idea is that it is wasting time.
But this is no longer a factor as the gear change is instantaneous with Automatic GearBox.

Electric cars do not have a gearbox and just have one rotor.
This does place them in a disadvantage when starting though as there acceleration is affected.
Formula E cars, have started using a 3 gearbox for their cars in order to have a faster start.

So it is possible that the Roadster does have a gearbox.
Competition in laptops stalled, it is probably ripe for disruption. Looking the shameful Thinkpad 25, and the hype around it... there is a market for a developer laptop that does not suck.
The problem is that it is not so much of an "abstraction".

It is a leaky abstraction. Your application code will be running on Chakra's version of ECMAScript, which is whatever they want it to be.

It could start the equivalent of the 90s browser wars.
I'm mostly thinking of high-voltage capacitors. Basically, if sticking a screwdriver in the wrong place could maim or kill you, I'm okay with having security screws there. Otherwise, no.
There's no fee (except, you know, for the fees).
It's not based on cluelessness, people are aware that there are ways to circumvent the screenshot notification. The vast majority of people don't install third-party apps to save their friends' snaps, so content you share on Snapchat is still drastically less likely to be on someone's phone forever than if you were to send it some other way.
I would actually rather change it to make the encoding required when opening a text file. Sometimes you do want UTF-8, but other times you do actually want locale encoding (because other text processing tools expect locale). And then "Explicit is better than implicit".

That said, .NET has been defaulting to UTF-8 for text files since 1.0, and it seems to be working well in practice, so maybe it is a reasonable default after all.
Call me paranoid but I don't trust Microsoft at all.
Yes, the only direction seems to be that of closed systems. Smartphones will probably never be as open as desktop systems once were.
> Tesla has a price-to-sale ration of nearly 6, while Nissan and GM are <0.5. So Tesla is mostly image and vision, not reality.

The stock price is not the arbiter of whether a company is vision or reality. Nothing would change about those companies if public opinion suddenly shifted and made those ratios go the other way.
All nice and good. We see the EV revolution in front of our eyes.

But nobody speaks about the EV infrastructure.
lol. It's sad that I can only upvote this once :)
Lisp for AI.
Frames for Knowledge Representation.
Yeah! Added as well.
If you click through, pretty everything is online (except lecture recordings). Slides, lab material, etc. is all available. Next year I'm planning on releasing the lecture recordings as well.

Although as I said, there are certainly some things I'll tweak next year, having been through it once. I'm under no illusions about it being perfect :)
The other two can be owned by the Educational Media Foundation, and all the programming can be sent in by satellite now that broadcasters no longer have to have a local presence.
"fixed" was a C# 2.0 addition, though. Back in 1.x days, you basically had to declare that field as a simple scalar instead, and then use & to manually obtain the pointer (but then you could index it with [] etc, same as in C, so it doesn't really make that much of a difference in this case; "fixed" sure did come in handy for other stuff though).
We had a kitchen smoke detector in college that was kept swaddled in plastic wrap at all times because it went off every. time. we tried to cook something. Absolutely a safety hazard, yeah.

Tesla has been trying to get laws changed to allow them to replace side mirrors with cameras, as it's a major pain point for aerodynamics.
I think your point about cultural dominance, and specifically youth culture, is the key one.

I travel a fair bit and it still surprises me how often I hear English, usually lyrics, regardless of the local language.

English isn't particularly logical. This is partly because it is a hodge-podge of Germanic and Latin roots. I think its also because it's so widely used. It's accepted a ton of vocab from around the world and usage seems to have a "natural selection" effect on grammar.

I'm not sure I agree about French. It was the main diplomatic language before American hegemony but I'm not sure it ever really took off much as a second language. I actually think that German was the natural choice if things had turned out differently. The reason is that, in the 20s and 30s, German was the lingua franca of science and technology. Germany was also a pioneer in film. These were only just starting to dominate culture at that time and, without the upheaval of WWII, could easily have spread from there.
I wonder if most people had similar levels of parasites before sanitation became common.
This is an idea that I disagree with so thoroughly that I'm having a hard time articulating why. Every angle I can think of presupposes a world view which would not admit this idea in the first place.
I dunno. Maybe initially, sure, but I've seen countless people use, for example, internet explorer where half the screen was taken up by malware toolbars (I wish I was exaggerating...), which is not pretty, not good UX, not gee-whiz coolness at all. And they never once complained, they just accepted it as the way it is and kept on going.
No love for Citationsy?
Oh please please please postgres support! The only free+open source option for Linux is Sqlectron (https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui) which has massive performance issues.

I badly want an alternative to DataGrip. It's great, but it's not free and its open source license criteria are frankly ridiculous [https://www.jetbrains.com/buy/opensource/?product=datagrip]:

I expected microtransaction games to take off, but not in the form of "pay to win" as it is today.

I expected things like buying side quests or episodes for games. People could just pay for as much content as they would play. It would have been similar to how musicians could sell singles instead of albums.

Paradox games and CS:GO seem to have adopted this model very well but it never happened in mobile games, where microtransactions would have been most successful.
You’re a fanboy
there are some people on quora, who are saying that experimenting with CRISPR on mammals is as cheap as $500 comparing to dozens of thousands just two years ago. I wasn't investigating it much, but sounds awsome :)

I would suggest the opposite; This type of cynicism over Tesla and Musk's other companies seems ever-increasingly popular and widespread, despite relatively few failures and setbacks - which are outweighed by the numerous earlier successes showing both Tesla's and Musk's ability to deliver on far more difficult challenges.
You should check out "Synapse AI" -- it's one of the first pieces of blockchain tech that actually makes sense.

They want to decentralize AI and facilitate democratized AI economies on the blockchain.
The sound is satisfying for reasons that are entirely separate with its association.
He was relatively clear that it will be 2+2 rather than four full size seats:

So, it'll be cramped back there for larger adults.
I was convinced at some point that CPU clocks would become much faster than the 4Ghz that seems to have become the limit.
You're paranoid. The Microsoft of today is hugely different to itself ten years ago; it has suffered painful lessons in its own arrogance and has demonstrated its humility with deeds.

I'm not saying you should trust Microsoft implicitly, but I'd put them well above Oracle (MySQL), Google, Facebook, Samsung or most commodity device OEMs.

That is the complete opposite of the study's findings. The number of days they felt ill did not change, but they had fewer days absent.
Rustup is very useful for managing toolchains. For someone new to Rust, it's probably best to be familiar with it from the outset.
Facebook Graph search was like this (and creepier as people didnt always know _how_ they are searchable) nur Facebook heavily crippled this in the Last years.
At least for the roadster, it doesnt seem to matter that much. The people who will buy this will do it for the flashy logo and the ridiculous (And dangerous) speed of course.
Hi, I'm glad that you find useful something on that list. And thanks for the suggestion! I've just added Citationsy.
Wasn’t Itanium a good idea, just too ahead of its time?
Internet Explorer... kidding :P
Missed your comment. Added :)
I was so hyper. And then it did Not even work on my computer. Dont remember Why, but when it finally did it was already dead.
It could have been French (and in a sense was) if they had had movies and Internet earlier.

Earlier? The French invented the movie theater.
> Second Life comes close.

I never got the value proposition of Second Life. It wasn't game-y enough to be a game and, for me at least, it didn't really add much over more "traditional" collaboration/communication/socialising methods like text and video chat, social networks, twitter etc.
Thanks for participating. Are you saying that we should pretend like 'offshore' money doesn't exist, and print an equal amount of new money for each 'lost'?
Overheating. Like previous models, it likely can't cool down the engines and batteries fast enough to sustain that power output.

Microsoft XAML and .NET. They seem popularish, but the lack of an open ecosystem means that they didn't take the world by storm.

I remember when Facebook hyped the Graph search as the next big thing, a truly social search engine. Years later I only occasionally remember about its existence when trying to find someone/something specific on Facebook, and even then it's at most mildly helpful.
Sorry, missed the tabs! But this looks really awesome! By looks of it there are recordings of the lectures already up..

Will for sure go through the materials. If you ever come to sweden, let me buy you a beer!
For me, the main problem is that I need my computer for what I consider "legit" activities such as working or communicating with my friends. Starting from there, it's easy to get trapped into other "toxic" activities such as facebook or news. I'd like to be able to just put the computer aside for a few days but it's almost impossible.
FG probably would allow advertisers to bypass FB products for identification of potential customers and hence is not in best financial interest of FB.
2-3k miles. Not 2-3 miles.
I like what Tesla & co. are doing, I think Musk is very good at hyping things up and mostly pointing us in a good direction development wise, but I'm not a fanboy. Especially considering what I've read about Musk's personal life and his attitude to employees.

Even so, if Uber can have several billion dollars pumped into it, surely Tesla is more deserving of investments on the same scale.
It definitely sounds like it, considering they advertise the speed on a grade.
Odd, the article I read had this image: https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/files/201... (or one like it), and looking at the video, it seems they had both on stage? Are there two models? It didn't seem to be discussed.
It also depends a lot of the kind of company it is. I had a few profit sharing offers from a social media company. Mostly it was to get their e-commerce component off the ground.

It seemed like a poor deal to sign so early, as opposed to a company that is already making profits. If something like a CRM or other B2B company offered profit sharing it would be a much better deal.

An ESOP deal for things that monetize poorly is better, a profit sharing deal with something rolling in cash flow is better.

Often employees are not risk takers. If they wanted risk, many would be founders. Just paint it really clearly how much they would get out of it and in some cases expect them to be skeptical, not of your word, but of your optimism.

Even better would of course be puts(string); -- no point in running a parser that will scan each character looking for formatting instructions, when you don't have any.

Using puts() will give you a terminating line feed though, which might not be what you want for a prompt. On the other hand that likely saves you from having to deal with output-flushing and so on ... Might be nice for teaching.
Outsourcing Outsmarted
Their revenue was deposits made by users to use the service.

If every user has to pay $60 refundable security deposit to get started, and you can attract a million users to try your service a couple of times, you can quickly pay for a few thousand bikes.

The vast majority of users will then forget to reclaim their deposit.

OBike for example reminds users who try to refund their deposit that if they want to sign up again there will be a fee to pay. That discourages users from claiming the refund because they think "huh - I might want to use this again in the future, and if I do, I don't want to pay a fee".

Snapshot Testing with Jest in React: What Is It For?
Note that these match up with the Roadster prices also announced today, so they might well simply be artefacts of a duplicated page.
But the tooling is terrible in comparison. I find rust sigificantly easier as a python developer than cython. There is so much more rust ecosystem to take advantage of.
If you look at the way the rustup-init.sh script is written it's safe to be used with this "anti pattern". I see your objection though but unfortunately this ship has sailed, you might as well complain about websites that don't work without Javascript...

The advantage of this method is that it will work on any linux distro (and even BSD, Darwin and mingw) and you'll get the latest stable version. I don't see the advantage of using potentially outdated OS packages for installing a compiler, it's not like it's a dependency for other packages.

It also makes it easy to manage the various components of the toolchain, for instance if you later want to crosscompile for an other target, use the nightly version etc...
