XHTML5 works today, and my site is live proof. It helps catch dumb typos when typing HTML code by hand. It also means the CSS is more likely to be applied to the correct DOM tree.

I laughed. Thank you.
I knew about Bitcoin quite early, but I was convinced the government would shut it down. I am mystified as to why they didn't.

It should be easy for the admins to find and promptly IP-ban the creep who did this.
The way I see it, everything has errata... but if you're taking something off the shelf, it's more likely that someone else already found them. :-)

This is a great idea, and much less intrusive than antivirus software, app stores, or security prompts. Please make it faster from Bangalore, and I'll switch. Google DNS takes 18ms, and yours, 47.
Things I Have Learned While Teaching Your Kids to Code
I've been taking cold showers for 3-4 months, but recently had to quit because I hurt my neck so badly in the shower.
wow i had to reread that, thought it was kmph.. silly me
Great breakdown!
Is today 1. April?
Ditto on presence.

I bought a Vive and it's been... interesting. I actually haven't touched any games in months, but I still break it out every few weeks to prototype something in Unity/Unreal. Also, I've been using Google Blocks a ton to create lowpoly models for use in games.

I think the tech is way too compelling to go away anytime soon, but it's obviously not the splash hit that Facebook/etc predicted it would be.
that's a significant challenge from a friction/grip/tire treat compound (and electronic traction control) perspective, no matter what kind of AWD systems is in place...
I didn't hear any rumors about this at all. Is Tesla more secretive than Apple?
I'm only 10 minutes away from Brisbane CBD, and my closest bus/train stations have no staff. I remember 15 years ago the train station did having staff there for ticketing, but not anymore.

I used to see full length empty trains going out to the coast during peak hour as a "limited stop" service, yet regular commuters would have to pack onto 3 car all stop services. That there caused me to stop taking the train. The bus system also has it's faults but is generally ok. Worst I've seen are the ghost buses that just don't turn up but are still on the status boards.

Airport train fares were a exploited for a while until they did a crackdown on the passes. It'd cost you $10~ to go from the CBD to the airport, but the passes would only cost you $5. You could tap on to get on the train, and never tap off (which incurred a $5 fee, but you didn't care) then bin the pass afterwards because you weren't going to pay that fee.

It's these sorts of things are why our transport system will never progress, we are always looking to screw over something that we don't hold value in. If we needed it, we'd pay for it in fear of not having it.
If the math works there — could now or over time — then once L5 hits imagine the possibilities. L5 trucks towing broken L5 trucks with a third taking the cargo. I missed the video, but I’d bet huge that needed tech is probably prototyped already, at least in the elonoggin. Well done Elon!
As many useful things as there are in ES2015 (and beyond!), it's probably worth pointing out a few "corporate" environmental constraints that might limit one to ES 5.1:

* IE11 isn't dead yet. MS still supports it.

* The "Nashorn" engine inside (Oracle) Java 8 only supports 5.1.

Scoff at them if you will, but some of us have to live with these things, and aren't using a transpiler.
Roadster:

b: an automobile with an open body that seats two and has a folding fabric top and often a luggage compartment or rumble seat in the rear

This seats four and thus isn't a roadster...

Also why no RWD version? I feel like they are way more fun to drive. Not like I can afford one anyway let alone buy it.
Bitcoin Segwit2x Update
> 250mph

Metric system, where are you?-)
How are they going to keep up with production on Roadster when Model 3 production itself is slow and low ?
Awesome. But most people are not prepared for performance like that. I hope the safety systems work perfectly in the 0-100 case, because the distance you can travel with so little time to comprehend what situation you're about to be in is significant.

And it should probably require a breathalyzer pass to enable the fast mode!
and 250mph+ top speed is PLAID
There's also the infamous video of (well-known professional player) Luis Scott-Vargas "breaking" MTGO by causing the game to wind up in a non-terminating loop of mandatory actions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGXG5rNe_tI

For those who are confused, the card involved there is Oblivion Ring:

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiver...

Its effect is that, when it comes into play, you choose a non-land card in play that gets exiled (removed from play) for as long as Oblivion Ring stays in play, then gets returned once Oblivion Ring leaves play. This game devolves into a situation where there are three Oblivion Rings and no other non-land cards, so: Ring 1 exiles Ring 2, which returns Ring 3, which exiles Ring 1, which returns Ring 2, which exiles Ring 3, which returns Ring 1, which exiles Ring 2, and so on to infinity. The rules state that when a loop like this occurs (which is not often in real play), the game is an automatic draw.
My primary recollection of Wave was that it ran really slowly on the browsers and computers I had at the time, which also wouldn't have helped.
It has twice the wheel torque of a Hellcat, but the traction is impressive too. Obviously making good use of that AWD.
I thought RISC (Berkeley) and MIPS (Stanford) were originally rival projects, with RISC being more closely related to SPARC. I wasn't there, though.
"Hit by a bus" also means no possibility of asking for his advice or making a better offer (if he changed jobs).
An 8.8 second 1/4 mile is crazy for any car, let alone a stock one.
Love it. Perfect showmanship to hype up the truck then announce this.

Hope they stay solvent long enough to ship it.
CDROM & "interactive multimedia"

On the other hand, I really wasn't convinced about the web until I essentially missed the giant early opportunities, which I was well placed to capitalize on.
It would seem over 200 mph isn't useful, except the Boring company could change that. A private tunnel could enable such leisurely travel for only cars that had level 3+ autonomy safety features.
>The Pope and Cardinals would really prefer it if people would pray to a nice abstract God in a nice abstract sort of way

Doesn't seem so. As far as we can see, the Church all this time has been actively encouraging and cultivating people's superstitions and the lowest emotions like fear, xenophobia, etc. and exploiting it for power and monetization.
It's $200k, so presumably the volume won't be too high.

(Which sadly means it's unlikely to depreciate into my price range any time soon!)
For low, slow fires like grass fires, it does not have to be water. Watery foam with bubbles of CO2 or another fire-inert gas can work well for smothering the fire. But the equipment to make foam properly is expensive and finicky and not all fire departments have it. And foam won't help much as a heat sink which is where water really shines. Heat sinks are what you need for big fires. Lots and lots of water.

Forest fires are never put out with water--you just can't get enough water where it's needed. Instead, you use small amounts of air-dropped water and fire breaks to steer the fire where you want it to go and let it run out of fuel.
The Tesla roadster specs are insane! No exotic carmaker will be able to match it (taking price as a consideration). (no Ferrari, or Lambo, can get that close. This is Formula 1 acceleration speeds).

Plus 620 miles of range, and it is a 4 seater. Expensive as hell, but this is exotic car territory.

You're missing the point.

Moslem chronicles attribute this to Caliph Omar: "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, destroy them."

Whether the Library was destroyed in stages, and by a variety of earlier parties, is completely irrelevant.
Make America Gilded Again
I'm thinking what this means to gas car makers.

Wave 1: "It's all about legacy and prestige, not speed/acceleration".

Wave 2: "The track handling isn't all that good, how can drivers take that corner at full power without losing traction".

Wave 3: "Alright, we will go electric too".
$250k and it looks like a Nissan Z. Honestly, the old model roadster looked much more distinctive.
Because the "make a new product" teams and the "fix the battery manufacturing process" teams are mostly different teams. Engineers are not entirely fungible.
Even if each truck is manned, the increased safety from having rear trucks tied in with the front truck might reduce insurance premiums enough to make it viable. Especially if you can give the front truck a "pilot and co-pilot" setup (or good enough AI to simulate that with human pilot and AI co-pilot).
The majority of trucking companies aren't big enough to be able to have in house shops.
Nuclear power. Carbon free. Reliable. No waste if you reprocess. Cheap fuel.
Non-fiction thriller on political start up in India
You wouldn't hit those numbers without some front wheel help. And you would miss out on some of the directional stability and control without the ability to apply forces from that end of the car too.
Because Congress specifically delegated that authority to them for this domain. Go read a history book.
Easily. The Roadster will have far fewer customers than the Model 3. They just won't have to build as many. Sure, the Roadster probably takes a bit more labor to build than a Model 3, but probably not by much.
0-60 in less than 2 seconds. that’s insane.
Does this mean that Tesla is pivoting from their attempt to produce a medium-priced car in quantity and going back to hand-building high-end cars?

Tesla is good at high-end, low volume products. But the Model 3 production fiasco shows they don't know how to do what Detroit and Wolfsburg and Toyota City do. This is in a way a step backwards. Tesla is going back to targeting the 1%.

There are lots of little supercar companies. It's not that hard to build an electric supercar in tiny volume. I know some people who've done it. It's fun, and there are idiots with too much money who'll buy the thing. But it's a waste of engineering talent which should be getting the volume product out the door.
Good to know. Will move to Percona or MySQL.
Are you asking how they're going to prioritize manufacturing a car with huge margins over the low margin car?

I guess we'll never know.
I don’t think you’re speaking about “The Church” in the sense of the Roman Catholic Church. Lots of televangelists and other protestants sure, but The Catholic Church has never strongly pushed monetisation, and tends to have the lowest reimbursement rates for priests.
"quickest car in the world" is an interesting choice of word.

Is that to stand out from the slogan tropes like "fastest car in the world" / "fastest in its class"?
A $200k car isn't for most people ;)
I would really love to know how they are getting such a large battery capacity in a vehicle of this size.

Is this a generational leap in energy density? What kind of materials are being used here?
solving the world's important problems.
No, it's a bunch of companies, individuals, cash, and gold mixed together and borderless.
Sorry, 10,000 nm of torque? This can't be real.
edit: misunderstood
Does the updated documentation at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitorin... explain the CloudWatch metrics?
Off topic, but really nice website.
Why should "Christian teaching within the philosophy of religion" be a better measure than "Christian teaching as taught to Christians by churches"? This seems like one of those finger/moon things.
The bigger difference, to me, isn't so much that the walled-garden ecosystems restrict a phone/tablet's use as a general-purpose computer, than the form factors and interfaces of the device being appropriate for different forms of content creation, manipulation and consumption.

Phones and tablets are great for consuming certain types of content, and having a portable camera with networking has enabled a lot of content creation. But a phone isn't a great device for doing something like long-form writing.
No it’s not a pivot. They’ve planned a new roadster for a while.

I think they are getting at a subtlety between being fast (speed) and being quick (acceleration).
Tesla isn't really that affordable. It's more like the iPhone of electric cars: they're trying to make the best electric car everybody wants. Renault/Nissan are the ones trying to make it affordable. I read the Zoe is a best seller, although in rather too low volumes compared to ICE cars.
Classic Microsoft. See the Windows Phone as well.
What is the basis for your statements?

According to everything I've read about Leo, he was from the Greek mainland, he did not have "frequent contact" with Moslems, and he never "met with the Caliph".
... also crud example does not tell first name from last internally (but no one notices it because the fields do not get updated as you click on rows)

.. and circles example uses self-modifying code, and takes O(n^2) space, because the undo history contains deep copy of the state

now, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make comparitions a little unfair, because other languages do more.
Winter is coming!

Sorry, couldn't resist.
The three Bay Area shops were all profitable? Then someone may buy at least one of them.
Wow, it looks slick.
“Quickest” in auto-journalism typically refers to acceleration. So 0-60.
“Fastest” typically refers to top speed. So e.g. 250mph.
It's complicated too. For reliability, you need an independent cache of water that can last X hours (like a swimming pool), and an independent energy source to pump it.
It may also help clear out the sinuses, or make them feel less sensitive.

Hot water can dry you out. Cold water may help counteract that.
I don't think insurance is nearly expensive enough for that scenario.
AI in Telecom: Intelligent Operations Is the New Norm
Except for opening the new location, a lot of this is typical of bankruptcies.
fast--top speed.
quick--acceleration.

Bugatti probably has them beaten on top speed. This roadster doesnt look very stable at 200+ mph with its short wheelbase.
The way I see it is that bitcoin's potential value is the share of the economy it will manage when bitcoin adoption is widespread. Then the current value is some fraction of this potential value, the product of the likelihood that the state of widespread usage comes to pass. As more people become aware of bitcoin and buy it, that future becomes more likely, and so the current value increases.
I wonder how a AWD system works, when the Roaster has 3 motors (according to the Tesla live stream today only 3 motors). Why not 4 motors, one for each wheel.
My ideal interface decision would be actual switch (like between regular and topographical maps) that would turn off all the commercial shit and turn the map to a map, with building numbers and street names.
I would have to guess that they didn't decide to make a Roadster in the last month or two.
"It is rarely used "

???

If you walk down the street you will see literally hundreds of people wearing it on their fingers as Jewelry.

BTW - it even has a high degree of utility as Jewelry because it does not tarnish.

Also - it has some industrial use.

And yes, it's highly speculative, but nowhere near BTC.

And finally - it's use as a currency predates recorded history, across countless civilizations and cultures. Which counts for a lot of credibility.
“During the information technology bubble, we saw a rally in dot-com company shares. But at least at that time, there were people using Yahoo or (Japanese internet firm) Rakuten -- people were using their services,” he said.

-> People ARE using Bitcoin's services, notably Venezuela now after the default. Argentinians have been using it to escape the terrible inflation that plagues their peso.

“But this time, I see quite a lot of people doing crypto-currency businesses in my circle of friends. But I hardly know anyone in person who is trading crypto-currencies and I haven’t seen anyone using them in real life,” he said.

Just because you are living in a bubble doesn't mean people don't use it. TenX's cards have been around for a while and they can be used quite seamlessly. i have also paid my friend for lunch using Bitcoin just to test it out. Heck there are even bitcoin atms in Japan. I think this speaks more about the quality of their leadership than about cryptos tbh.

That said, I am not claiming the currency will go up or down. As noted by some other users, the value is quite arbitrary, and like gold this is a market that is sentiment driven. But if he understood the theory and tech behind it, he wouldn't have made the $100 claim, really makes him look like a joke.
SO I have no clue about Kierkegaard, in India very few people know about him. Having seen the discussion here, I am fascinated to learn more about him and his ideas. What will be a good place for me to start? Any books or articles that are recommended?
If this thing has torque vectoring and does a 9 second 1/4 mile, it's going to drop at wave 2.

But wave 3 is already here - a lot of smaller companies are talking about making their own electric vehicles. If batteries become commodities, it's going to reduce the R&D cost of making a road legal car by an order of magnitude. We're just waiting on the batteries.
Wow, that‘s more than 400km/h
Under-construction buildings are very flammable. They're just pure fuel. No drywall, concrete or marble to slow down the fire.
It's a metal that does not tarnish, which makes it good for making pretty things, like monuments and Jewelry. That it is rare, gives it's high price.

Splitting hairs. Laws arise from conventions. And people still use the n word in many non-racist contexts here. The first amendment blocks the codification if this in law but the principle is the same: shun the words and symbols that these systems of oppression were built on.
We had same issue and we used diff and patch.
Double-thick battery? The current battery is one level deep and is pretty thin.
200K is actually good value, seeing as gas supercars that are near it in terms of performance (except slower) often cost over $1M.

EDIT: Tesla probably should fix their homepage going to a what appears to be the live stream page. I'd have to imagine they are losing valuable pageviews and sales. Tesla.com should be redirecting to either the Semi or Roadster landing pages.

That’s because the old one was a Lotus body and they have a very disinctive look - this look is more inline with Tesla style.
I think that that is the person's point. This is several years of development which amounts to wasted resources in light of the manufacturing setbacks of their truly disruptive product.
That's wheel torque, not engine torque. Existing high power cars, like the Hellcat, exceed that number, at least in first gear. Hellcat makes 10875 Nm (8021 ft-lb). That's 650 engine torque at peak, * 4.71:1 first gear ratio * 2.62:1 rear axle ratio.

Of course, electric engines have much flatter torque curve, so they'll be at torque peak all the time until they exceed pack wattage limts.
It's darn near the limit of what we can do with current tire technology, don't be surprised if this drops - all we need is a tire that can deal with it.

You're right that it's absurd but most sports cars can do 60-0 in about the same amount of time, it's interesting to think about running that acceleration in the oppisite direction.
At this price point, the target market probably isn't prioritizing for usefulness / raw utility as a purchasing criteria.
Everywhere but the US, apparently.
So sort of a subscription model for trucks? You buy (or more likely rent) "a truck" and Tesla supplies you with "a truck" but it's not necessarily always the same truck?
Thanks, that drew a chuckle.

And I could speculate on hypervisor bypass in Andromeda 2.1 ;-)
Have you read Huxley's sequel to Brave New World? It's called "The Island." In it all of the technologies from BNW are used to set people free; to enhance the human condition.

I stand with Nir (and Huxley). These technologies are powerful, but that doesn't make them evil. They can be used for good.
Are they selling the reservations now? Is this about getting more cash to keep funding their operations?
One issue I have with this JS tutorial is that it spends little to no time talking about FP, just OOP (functional vs object-oriented programming).

What text it does devote to Closures makes them sound like a "problem" to be worked around. Funny, I thought "this" was the problem (to be worked around, or avoided entirely whenever possible).

Class based languages such as Java do an excellent job of modeling how I thought about programming back in 1990. It's how we were taught in school, so as to be able to manage mutable data in a turing tar pit. (remembering a lecture about garbage collection, which essentially scoffed at the overhead...)

Having learned a good deal more about FP in the last 10 or 15 years (beyond the little bit of Lisp I did in an AI class back in the 80s), Javascript really starts to shine in many ways, whereas Java (and other [Simula67 subset] C++ derivatives) looks like the intellectual cripple in comparison.

I wish people would stop trying to turn Javascript into something more and more like C++/Java. Just stop, already. It was supposed to be like Scheme and/or Smalltalk, but The Management (marketing) got involved, and the rest is tragedy, er, history.
1,000 reservations @ $250k means they can pay for 5% of their new gigafactory, and that's just the founder's run. If that means they can scale better, I'm all for it. And I say that as someone who won't be able to afford a car like this for a looong time, if ever.
To be precise, 1.44 g.

For comparison, a Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket -- without payload -- at takeoff mass has 1.19 g of thrust.
And making a really really nice limited-edition car, apparently.
Ahh, that makes more sense, then. Thanks for clarifying!
Then this has happened -

So it will be interesting to see how the pricing really works.
The specs are insane but it would be better if Tesla focuses on getting its mass market car out in the market, in the hands of consumers.
It makes no sense to go back and it's financially almost impossible. If Tesla gets into trouble, it's better to sell the company or parts of the company for some carmaker who can mass produce.
I remember being in high school when Google Plus came out and thinking it would be incredibly popular. I totally missed the mark, and it's funny because while I thought it would take off with other people, I never really used it myself.
Taking reservations for 1000 founder series cars at $250k each up front means they're pre-selling $250,000,000 worth of product at least 2 years out. Kind of smart.
