There are also permanent serviced apartments. An example that comes to my mind in the UK are the apartments in the Shard, which are serviced by the Shangri La but I believe were sold, not rented.
I'm generally very critical of Google, especially the search results page, but it's important to remember the background context to this article:

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/nov/16/rupert-murdoch...

>Rupert Murdoch say News Corp is not looking to expand its newspaper empire, conceding digital advertising “has been tremendously damaging to print” and some of his papers were struggling.

Over the next few years it will be interesting to see how successful the right wing anglosphere press is at getting governments to regulate Google. It's been building for a while now and not just from the Murdoch press. The Daily Mail in the UK has been campaigning against Google for a number of years now.
Imagine a table with an e-ink display that can show you whatever you want them to show you.

Imagine reading news above your sink while doing the dishes.

Imagine the entire walls constructed with e-ink displays in your home and being able to change the wallpapers in your living room depending on what's currently in your mind.

All of those could have a "read-only" mode until you push a button, they would use pretty much no electricity, and would ideally be water-proof.

Instead, what I have right now, is an e-book reader. Which is nice and all. I'm often sending articles to my Kindle (kudos https://p2k.co/) and all sorts of things, but I had much higher hopes from e-ink technology (and still kind of do). The hope of having my home filled with e-ink displays is much greater than having a home filled with sensors.

The BBC are obsessed with Trump in a way that is 180 degrees opposite of what you are suggesting.

Right, Skype had a similar interface in 2005-2010, you could set your status to "Skype Me" (in addition to "Available", "Away" etc.) which was the green "available" Skype icon but with a smiley overlaid. You could search for people by age, gender, location, and I think keywords, and "only Skype Me users" (also implying online at that time). I'm not sure if the interest searching was as advanced as you described but the feature was great. You could then chat to the people you found, or call them, etc.

After a few years, setting your status to "Skype me" meant every few minutes a chat from a new person advertising porn sites or other scams. So I stopped using it. Presumably so did everyone else; at some point they disabled the feature. And now Skype is just a tool to talk to people you already know.
True, though modern luxury apartment blocks increasingly have communal areas (swimming pool, gym, cinema, lounge).
Let's see if that makes it from prototype to production, though; if you could meet the legal requirements with cameras and displays I think someone else would have done it by now.

Concept cars often lack mirrors, or have ridiculously small mirrors that wouldn't be legal. Apparently car designers really just don't like adding them.

Whether or not you intended this as a joke: As a matter of fact, I actually do!
I would say vision is comparable to Jobs, but execution— not yet. The problem is a lack of focus and a lot of distraction with big public announcements before actually figuring out how to ship. Jobs (and Cook’s) advantage over Musk in the Tesla context is that they considered the supply chain as vital as the flash and sparkle. Supply chain isn’t sexy but it’s essential. Tesla’s supply chain is fragile to say the least and should be focused upon. Musk’s execution isn’t there yet. Jobs created/launched an iPad and it shipped millions. Waiting times for an iPhone rarely have exceeded a few weeks because their supply chain is solid. But getting a replacement fender for a Model S? Good luck with that.

If I were a Tesla investor, the only thing I would care about is supply chain efficiency. We know Tesla can innovate and titilate — but can they ship?

My advice to Musk would be: announce things after you can ship them reliably and at scale. Less sparkle more shipping. Prove you can ship the 3, then I might be confident you can ship a truck.

I really like Musk and Tesla, but there is a hell of a lot more involved with changing the world than creating essentially limited edition concept cars — you actually have to ship. Based on the 3, it’s clear that there are some execution issues that still need solving.
English is considered to be very difficult language and I find it to be a historical tragedy that English became the lingua franca of the world. I remember that as a child I could not wrap my head around the "spelling competitions" I saw in English cartoons. What is the deal with spelling words? If you can say it you just spelled it, if you can read it you just pronanceed it. And that is only one of many things that make English difficult. Only Chinese Mandarin with its tonality could be worse (will be worse?).

There's great sci-fi from the 50's where people are traveling through space in wonderfully detailed ships.

However they're still wearing fur-lined space suits and calculating trajectories using slide rulers.

Predicting future technology (especially new out of the box ideas) is really hard.
While its not hard to setup, Github doesn't cover how to do so for private repositories. I put the steps for setting this up on a per repositor basis here:

Electric motors are absolutely better compared to combastion engines. But Guys, please don't compare apple to oranges. Tesla is no match to Ferrari nor McLaren. Ferrari's main intention is to build a car that has a good cornering on track. 0-60 is for muscle cars which you can compare to SRT Demon. All these Bugattis, Koenigseggs are a bunch of unsteerable rockets on tracks. Last but not least you know how Koenigsegg ended up in Nordschleife.
I think it's fine to choose somebody.

Why? Because others will chose the others and everyone who on the list will receive the care. It doesn't matter which one I choose since my choice doesn't make a difference to the person in need.

It's nice to hear how it turned out though. I stopped giving money to charities that don't tell me what happened after. Like.. just write me an email. 'With the money donated this month we bought clean water for hurricane victims in whereever. Find the full list of activities this month here <link>.'
That's true, but while it was difficult back then to write functional code in Java (now solved), it was difficult back then to write class-based object-oriented code in Javascript (now solved).
> F1 tires are nothing like road tires.

Agreed, but they don't need to be. Remember, the magic number here is ~1.4G, for a 1.9s 0-60. The Pilot Sport Cup 2 – a track-friendly R-compound tire used in the webcast car and in the videos – can pull close to that on a skidpad (i.e. less than optimal conditions), meaning the grip is there.

> I think it's straining credulity to believe that an electronic traction control system is going to outperform them to such a huge degree.

Launch control and traction control can make several tenths of seconds of difference, which is critical when you're talking about sub-2s times. Also, traction control can keep the car on the cusp of slip the entire run to 60MPH, which is critical in a car that has a completely flat torque curve and probably enough torque to break the wheels loose at any speed (which is not true for F1 cars).

I also suspect that the Roadster has active damping – another technology disallowed in F1 – meaning that the duration of contact with the road can be maximized. This is important if the road surface isn't glassy-smooth.

> This car also looks to weigh around double what an F1 car will weigh

That doesn't help it at all in cornering, but in a straight line, the increased weight of the car will help it launch even better since it'll increase the traction on the drive wheels (equivalent to downforce at speed).

> Gear changes: F1 gear changes take about 8 milliseconds. A road-going automatic gearbox is definitely not going to beat this.

There's no gearbox to speak of; the wheels are direct-drive. To be fair, this won't contribute significantly to faster 0-60 times, but the gearbox exists to compensate for some less-than-ideal characteristics of an ICE, namely uneven power delivery and physical limitations on peak RPMs. An electric motor has none of these problems.
Why not just leave the lisp-bubble and admit it's a terrible type of language which is behind of ML languages in terms of productivity, safety and performance?
There is an interesting PowerPoint presentation you can find on the internet on how Skype used to evade debuggers.

http://www.secdev.org/conf/skype_BHEU06.handout.pdf

The techniques described in that document are different, but in a way they are alike - both use dirty tricks to shield themselves from people trying to reverse engineer them. The only difference is that one takes place "at compile time", in way, while the other works in a dynamic program as it is executing.
I don't know if that's a question for me but I've seen noise in Windows too. Additionally with a "bad" set of video drivers the noise was super-loud.

I recently read an article in the Chinese press about the new innovations of the shared eceonomy being made. One innovation was a bunch of “shared” washing machines that could be used by anyone as long as they paid a small fee. In other countries, this would have been called a laundromat, but apparently they never existed in china.

Will move to Percona or MySQL community ed.

I applauded MariaDB at first, but they almost went bankrupt, merged with another company, changed he business model (release new code parts in a different license).

And on the other side I still remember Cyanogen + CyanogenMOD that got so much worse and died because of a certain "sponsor". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod nowadays forked as LineageOS, but many things got lost incl older devices. So a small number of companies with deep pockets are like cancer to open source projects, the good thing is they can be forked.

But see MaxDB for an open source database that never got forked, and there is no open source project anymore, it got closed source, and nowadays powers parts of expensive SAP HANA data store.

It is better to install Percona MySQL fork, or MySQL community edition. Let's hope Linux distros change the MySQL flavor in near future too.
Two comments:

1. Something between taxis and buses could theoretically be viable.

2. Many cities already have rush hour fees on public transportation (or equivalently discounts for off-peak passes) so some price differentiation in bus lines seems possible.
I used to donate regularly to Watsi, but recently I have churned, as they have de-emphasized the p2p aspect over universal healthcare. They now seem to be in an awkward split between two projects, where I'd like to see them stand firmly in either side of the camp.

I really enjoyed being able to see the patients, hear their story, get updates on their progress, and receive a "thank you" from their loved ones. Is that voyeuristic, bad, playing God? Perhaps. Should you be able to give blindly, with just an abstract generic result in your mind's eye? I'd agree that is better.

But it worked for me. It worked for Watsi. It worked for multiple patients receiving around 1000$. It just does not work for the hate and outrage brigade who want to signal that: doing good is not good enough if doing good makes you feel good.

I don't care that the SV elite commercializes/optimizes foreign aid to the point of a one-click-checkout meat market at Amazon. I don't care that it is probably predominantly white people giving to black people in a weird reverse kind-of cultural appropriation (black guilt: why can't we solve our own problems?). I don't care that people suffer after Christmas donations dry up a few months later. Keep hammering these points though and I may quit charity all together: I don't want to think about things such as race when donating. That is just no fun, not easy on the mind, not comfortable.

Exploit it. All commercial companies are doing so (Watsi is competing for my attention). Why not manipulate people into giving instead of clicking on advertisements? That only hurts my oversized wallet (and the refined taste of the outrage brigade).
Student dorms. While we're at it, let's rethink the whole social mess we're in with nuclear families. Vastly inefficient, totally anti-social. We need more communities.
I can only applaud this effort!
I hear you regarding time... If I didn't regularly try out new software it could still be a viable choice, but now I enjoy the ease of Arch's ecosystem. I guess a lot of people who still use Slack does a full install and have few needs beyond those packages.
I can get all the music I can listen to for $15 a month (Google Play Family which comes with YouTube Red) and share it with my wife and 4 kids. I think that people can get music on SoundCloud, Pandora or YouTube made the illegal less necessary. I personally prefer to just pay the money and get my music on all my devices and upload the music I have that isn't available.

I also LOVE YouTube Red and it helps the content creators multiple of times more then my little ad revenue. How is it that people flaged YouTube Red as anti-content creators and were going after Google with pitch forks and now content creators keep saying that Red Members give them so much more per person. One creator says 1/4 of his income is from YouTube Red (He makes a living on YouTube).
This sounds like something you cannot do with an NGO since it is far to integrated with government.

And that's a fully different level of activity; you have to go through your national foreign aid agency (they might laugh at you, hopefully only at first). You're basically trying to interfere in foreign politics at this point, and as you can guess the diplomacy involved is crazy (as it should be).

> 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)?

I dunno man, every time before I've said "Tesla/SpaceX can't possibly do that", they've succeeded in doing it (albeit usually a year or so behind schedule) so I've given up trying to tell them what they can't do.
Yes, for a daily driver you don't need to recharge in minutes... But if you go on a trip you do. Super chargers are great, but not everyone wants to take along break every few hours of driving.
Might even become the collective noun - "a mess of politicians" ;-)
I suppose the fact that they have patched the binary means they can never again patch the source?
At a given speed, the energy is the same. But to get the car going it takes significant energy.
The interesting thing is that public transit systems are extremely inefficient.

TriMet (Portland, OR) which has a modern mixed bus/light-rail system gets only 20% of expenses from fairs (http://trimet.org/budget/pdf/2018-adopted-budget.pdf)

That is with charging $5/day capped at $100/month, so if fares were to cover the entire cost, the cost would be $500/month.

So, public transit provides a bare bones, horribly uncomfortable, and inconvenient transit experience, at a cost that is only slightly lower than a car.

And public transit systems are too inefficient to operate outside of high traffic hours at all.

If someone in tech can figure out how to offer a shared transit system that people will actually pay for without being forced to that would be a major innovation. No public transit system has ever done it.
Interesting, sounds a lot different than how literalists understand the bible.

Yes, a bit like a very high end student dorm (like an Oxford or Cambridge college).
Token Ring Networking as a protocol/concept (not so much physical IBM hardware, of course) rather than CSMA/CD.

It naturally makes sense that allocating BW via a token would be much more power efficient and faster than transmitting into the void and hoping for no collision. Its hard to get line rate traffic with CSMA/CD but the financial services co I was working at back then had very high util in the upper 90%s for hours.

I also miss ATM and its complicated and semi-obscure adaptation layers, pretty cool although toward its death it was just a weird way to send pt-to-pt ethernet frames. ISDN was like that too, a whole protocol stack, pretty interesting exciting ideas, toward the end it was just a 128K pt-pt interface for internet access and of course a voice trunk signalling protocol replacing old E+M signalling. Both could have been interesting/cool. X.25 switching never really took off either.

Physical products? Do they still make those!! ;)

Agreed, I feel your pain. I would think this is only initially a solution for specific use cases, SaaS being one of them...and luckily the one I do. And in a highly regulated, safety critical sector, where testing every aspect of the software to not only the level I need, but to the level the regulators demand, is what it takes.

That said, a contract doesn't necessarily imply perfect precision. You can still deliver to vague specs and ambiguous goals and still get paid, so long as you encode something that both parties agree to. I have signed many paper and e-sign contracts that resulted in money transfer the traditional way for software that never did exactly what I expected, but eventually everyone was happy. I paid or got paid.

As to your specific use case, sure, the customer has to be electronic enabled in some way. Lots of hand waving here in the spirit of ideation... but when I was in India last, for example, even in the villages outside the urban centers, most small shop owners and vendors had mobile phones. I presume similar in all corners of the world these days, but certainly wherever HN is read. So if I am selling a physical widget, why can't my smart eth app send you a smart contract quote/invoice, you approve the details and shipping, and then fund the eth contract. Payment proceeds based on 1) physical placement of the widget in the hands of my bicycle courier who also has a smart phone and snaps a photo of the widget that gets uploaded for to the "oracle" app, fulfilling my end of the bargain, and 2) the physical delivery of the widget to your chaat stand where you send a photo of the delivered widget to the app before the courier signs off.

Would that not work, even for a physical good?
I saw something like this in Star Citizen: https://youtu.be/ZsXnFzYu10k?t=21m2s
That's when you don't hire employees but entrepreneurs, you know, gig economy so you only need to pay them for however much rides they manage to get instead of a living wage like old fashioned bus drivers get.
While the specs of this car are no doubt impressive i wouldnt say no one can compete with them. Porsche is/has been working on a high end electric car for quite a bit and they have specifically said they would challenge Tesla with it. Porsche also is someone who knows how to build high end cars and with their racing heritage i wouldnt be suprised if in 2020 they take some wind out of Teslas sail
I think it depends on what you're doing. In my old org, we often avoided pointers. Or rather, we used them when we needed them. Because of this, I'd wager easily 50% of our codebase was not using pointers at all and was completely type safe.

Though regardless, after using Rust for a while, i hope we can find a way to bring that safety to Go. I use a compiler and not JS/Python/etc for a reason, after all. I want compile time safety, all the time.
I think a critical eye can be a helpful viewpoint, but the rhetoric in this article is over the top to say the least (as others have pointed out). The use of the word "voyeur" is especially off color. Sure, some small percentage of givers might fit that description, but using it as a blanket description seems very inappropriate. In general I applaud efforts like Watsi so long as the hearts of the people involved are good, and they are willing to be humble and honest. We need good experimentation in all walks of life.
Unfortunately, every successful organization I've seen either is a cult or develops a cult-like following to support itself.

They'd have to re-implement the patch in source before doing anything else to it. I wonder if they are no longer able to build from source anymore... why else would they resort to this?
Anyone else find it odd they don't talk about the battery?

500 miles of range at 2kwh a mile is a 1000kwh battery which is 10 model S batteries.

Model S battery weighs 1,200 lbs lets assume they somehow improved on that by 20-30% so this is a 10,000 lb battery. Not sure how much the motors weigh, the Tesla motor and inverter are about 350lbs so lets say another 1000lbs.

A Diesel engine, transmission and fuel for 500 miles is about 5,000 lbs.

So I guess they made up 6,000 lbs in lightwieght materials? Or does it have less carry capacity since the trucks can't weigh more than 80k total?

Then there is the cost of the battery. Tesla is currently saying thier cost are below $190/kwh. At $180 that battery is $180,000 dollars cost! They must be counting on the Gigafactory getting it down to $100 kwh, still $100k cost just for the battery. The battery cost is as much as a new Semi's price.

The Megacharger is 400 miles in 30 minutes, that would be a 1.6 megawatt charger. They have to be built out across the country.

I am pretty impressed, I honestly didn't think they would do a megawatt battery. 500 miles is what you need minimum for "long haul" or a solid days driving even though most diesel semis have 1000 mile+ ranges.

Just not sure how the economics work out, but I hope it does.
