That record of 26:28 was an April Fool's Day hoax by Alex Roy, intended to publish as silly of an article as possible with the intent of showing that automotive journalists don't fact check enough: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2015/04/drove-2628-end-auto...
Yes, refuling will always be faster than recharging. That is physics. The question rather is: at which point (and for which driver profile) is it no longer a practical problem? Elektric cars already save you a lot of refuling stops in day-to-day driving, if you plug them in over night. And the Tesla supercharger network is basically almost fast enough, that it reasonably fits with the breaks one would take on long trips when not racing for time. And of course, electric cars give you all the benefits of electric cars, like no exhaust, no noise and better torque, no gear shifts.
The article is summarized by the its title and the concluding sentence:

"Silicon Valley elites are spending $60 for less than 3 gallons of dangerous, unfiltered water — and it's flying off the shelves"

This is the standard myth of personal irresponsibility which excuses "punishment" for failure.

The reality is that the opposite is not just possible, but encouraged - right-wing governments in the US consistently use economic policy to prevent social mobility, economic freedom, and the kind of collective social investment that generates long-term social, political, and economic benefits.

It's all about concentrating economic power among an increasingly narrow sub-group, and economically disenfranchising the rest of the population.

>you’re cutting it down for it’s screenplay being inspired by a fairy tale

That wasn't my reading of the parent at all.

Snow White the animated film wouldn't have been made if copyright was perpetually inherited and some distant Grimm relative refused to give Disney permission to make the film. This is relevant to your original point - that "I find complaining about someone’s artistic endeavors not being free to be absurd in it’s own way." You may find it absurd, but if it were not so, a work you seem to admire might never have been produced.

There is a cultural component to art. It draws from the culture and gives back to the culture. Long copyright terms - and I find current copyright terms very long - prevent future artists from drawing on the culture to produce new, transformative works.

Disney was able to draw on cultural material from the prior 100 years to make Snow White. But if the current copyright-extension-cycle continues, it seems plausible that Disney films - and all works created in the same period - may never fall into the public domain in the USA, and future artists will not be able to enjoy the same free use of cultural source material as Disney itself has done.

> Back in September, a private equity group was blocked from purchasing Lattice Semiconductor due to potential security risks. Prior to the Trump administration, just three deals had been blocked over the past 27 years.

Does anyone know how many acquisitions (and not deals) like these happen during last 27 years?

I tried searching and found this article from Obama's administration:

https://qz.com/863997/chinas-decades-long-acquisition-spree-...

Most of it talks about acquiring stakes but not outright acquisition. But the interesting parts is here

> In a document, the US Government Accountability office specifically singled out the rise of Chinese companies with state ties as worthy of more scrutiny, noting that some acquisitions might ultimately be bad for competition.

> Meanwhile, in November, President Obama played a direct role in blocking China’s Fujian Grand Chip from purchasing the German semiconductor firm Aixtron.
The other issue here is what MS does regarding Windows 7. It would not surprise me in the least if they tried a clever/efficient patch for Windows 10 and a simpler (and slower) bodge-job for Windows 7/8. Still, I guess we'll find out soon enough. They'd also better make sure that the changes only apply to Intel machines. I don't want MS to arbitrarily slow down my AMD PC as a result of this - you'll note that AMD submitted a Linux patch to ensure their CPUs weren't caught up in this, will MS do the same? Afterall, there is a reason this partnership is called "Wintel", both know it's in their best interest not to screw each other over.

You should read a little more careful what I write then. I do explain it.
Okay, I'll bite.

I believe abortion is murder. However, I also realize it can be medically necessary if the mother's life would be threatened and so it should be permitted in that instance. Now, I don't deny that abortion is economically useful for some because it obviates personal responsibility, but I think that use is murder. There is the tricky situation when rape is involved, and while I still think it's wrong I'm not adamantly against it in that scenario.

I also believe execution is murder. However, for extreme cases I think it is necessary to execute people who have committed the worst of crimes when it can be definitively proven (e.g., rape, torture, and deliberate murder).

So in my mind both are morally wrong, but there are extreme situations where they should be permitted and I think are necessary.

In case you missed the discussion of the source NYT article 3 days ago:

> But blockchain will magically create that shared database out of thin air.

It won't, and it's a strawman you are setting up. Of course you have to design your business logic and rules and answer all the questions. There's nothing a blockchain, a relational or a nosql database will do for you there. They will give you different options and different tradeoffs. The point here is that this distributed solution has interesting trade-offs and opportunities that makes this a good match for this particular problem, regardless of rules of what defines a song or how licensing rights rules are defined.

> BTW. Again. That same word, database. Nothing a relational database couldn't handle with much more ease and efficiency.

Yes, sure. You can have a third party with a central relational database that does all that, and all companies trust it. The proposed solution is more akin to a relational database replicated between all interested parties. All the parties having the same vision of immutable data allows interesting tradeoffs for this particular problem, that's all. No one is claiming it will identify or classify songs for you.

> Because blockchain is a magical technology that transmits all this information directly into your brain without the need of APIs.

No, because you can design a solution where any interested party can join the network and have a copy of the data. Or not. Trade-offs.

> Also, the article you linked is a bunch of demagoguery

I think it's a very pratical way of understanding the oportunities and capabilities that open up with new technology, particulary if you have a knee-jerk reaction such as shown above. Scepticism is healthy particularly given all the hype and magical promises around it but if you look at it through the framework proposed there I hope you can see how it opens design space that was unpractical before.
Don't be so quick to blame. You might have read it yesterday, but he reported it on Nov 29, which means that the transaction happened either within two days prior or about a month, depending on if you believe the SEC's website or NASDAQ's website. But the question isn't when he sold his shares, the question is when did he put in the order to sell those shares. Those guys put their buy/sell orders in months in advance because of exactly this problem. Or maybe he had a limit order in--the beginning of November was a 2-year high, so you could easily imagine a limit order executing about then.
If you look at the broad scope of history, cannibalism is a good thing.

I wonder if the lawsuit was purposefully timed near the IPO announcement, in an attempt to heap extra pressure on Spotify to settle quickly.
They announced that this was coming a while ago, but I’m curious- is there any financial advantage to them IPOing now with respect to the lawsuit?

Like say if the lawsuit cleans them out, does being a publicly listed company vs a private one make for a different outcome?

Looking to hear from someone who’d have some domain knowledge on this stuff.

EDIT: Or possibly the other way around, does this allow them to finance the costs of the lawsuit?

The "unsolvable" problem politically here is the United States' university's international student population. This contradicts the current nativism streak in Trump style politics. Yet you cannot have the best universities in the world without a focus for attracting global talent.

Apart from that, I've always been of the opinion that the reports of Excessive Campus Liberalism in conservative populist media have been greatly exaggerated. I'm sure there are some grains of truth for certain school fields and certain colleges, but from what I saw when I went to college, strong politics one way or another wasn't terribly true for the vast majority. Certainly at the very least most in the engineering fields were too focused on studying to pay huge amounts of attention to political concerns. :)

The overall distrust of colleges among Republicans is very new, only in the last few years (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/07/11/dramatic-shif...). I have no idea how this new attitude will play out, especially considering that one half of the Republican coalition is the business wing of the party, which tends to overall be a college educated workforce. Education still plays a big role in United States social status and career, and a strongly educated workforce and strong research facilities (largely oriented around colleges at this time) is one of the attractive elements of this nation (to businesses, even!). That so many of one party feel that college is only about "adversarial political positions" is a bad sign to me.
Where did I say that they never do that?

It's just an observation based on experience (two decades in different companies of all sizes btw.) about the most blatant cases of this kind: the constraint was just set based on that rule of thumb, and since it was there in the schema, it was taken as gospel and any code throughout all the layers written with it in mind and shortcuts taken accordingly, all while there never was any requirement for it nor was the uniqueness actually assured (cf. those posts about names) and the breaking only a matter of time.

Mabye I've become jaded, but I've come to see those as being among the most annoying and unnecessarily time-consuming classes of issues.

Indeed, the CA model seems broken by default in a nearly unfixable way, and it's primary goal seems to be to provide a web of trust which is trivial to break. HTTPS should be about encrypting point A to point B, and implementing scare warnings unless that encrypted tunnel goes back to a CA is not helping HTTPS adoption. It's not hard for malicious actors to get an HTTPS cert for their malware domains from a valid CA, so what's the point of that at this juncture?

I'm not sure how the Prisoner's Dilemma applies here? I agree that consumers should be educated and have the ability to make informed decisions; in many ways, this is what makes a market more "fair": make sure that consumers have access to information, and let them make the best decisions they can.

> I believe the same things about markets/government. Why should we purposefully handicap ourselves to the individual realm stuck with Echo with ads when we can go to the collective realm to grant ourselves a better outcome.

This is something I think we disagree on: I don't see this as a handicap at all. I also disagree that the better outcome is to grow the government's role in something like this. To me, this is a case where the so-called "invisible hand of the market" is the way to go: ensure that consumers have access to the information they need, and let consumers make the best decisions for themselves.

> If the people collectively decide that then yes.

I think we have to be very careful about how this is used; people collectively decide silly things all the time ("Pink Slime" comes to mind, for some reason), and we have to be very careful about how we encode things into law. Once the government is responsible for something, it's hard to walk back on that. Leaving things to the market leaves things in a more fluid state, in my opinion.

> To me, a useful way to think of markets is as a very sharp knife: it can be extremely useful in the right situations, but you can really hurt yourself if you're not careful.

This may be true to some degree, but it aligns pretty well with people's changing opinions and wants/needs. If we're careful about some things (e.g. monopolies, access to information, etc -- things that allow markets to work efficiently), we can avoid having to bring out the sledgehammer when it's not needed. Some of the early 20th century government involvements led to humanitarian crises (the Communist revolutions in China and Russia); that's not to say that governments necessarily lead to the worst situations, just that sometimes markets are better at things than government involvement. This is a case where I believe this to be especially true.
Is this a new version, or the same bookmarklet we've had for years?
What's your mechanism here? Anything that's covered by "insurance" is disconnected from consumer choice and thus normal competitive pressures don't work to constrain prices?

Would you outlaw insurance, then? I guess that could be a good approach if all of us were rich enough to self-insure!
Oh good, I put my SaaS (running mostly on Linode) up yesterday, then this happens. Can't wait for Linode to apply this patch to their infrastructure :(

I'm cursed when it comes to timing. It's like when I bought that house in 2007, held onto it waiting for the market to recover, then tried to sell it only to find out my tenants had been using it to operate a rabbit-breeding business for years and completely trashed the place (thank you, useless property manager), forcing me to sell it at a loss anyway (6 months ago).

Also, I hate rabbits now. And I veered off topic, sorry.

Here's Moxie's justification/explanation for the design decision to make Signal centralized:

https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/

> An open source infrastructure for a centralized network now provides almost the same level of control as federated protocols, without giving up the ability to adapt. If a centralized provider with an open source infrastructure ever makes horrible changes, those that disagree have the software they need to run their own alternative instead. It may not be as beautiful as federation, but at this point it seems that it will have to do.

>Does the remote still work? That always seemed like Sony's kryptonite.

Yes it does, but to be fair, it has never been used much (at least far less that what would be normal use) as I have it connected to a satellite box that has a remote that duplicates the TV's remote main commands and that is used like 99% of the times.

> This is precisely why Trump got elected: to stop large scale demographic manipulation on the part of the left and intelligentsia. If he doesn't solve that for the right, there won't be a second term. For him or for Republicans.

Short of financial incentives for promoting more white-only couples (which is probably unconstitutional) to have more children, this doesn't seem like its possible. There is no "demographic manipulation" as you say. The fertility of white women has been constantly reducing and besides there are a lot more mixed race children and children of other races. This is a consequence of prosperity: as society becomes more prosperous, fertility falls. Without the influx of immigrants, the labor force would greatly shrink and economy would probably contract.

The demographic change cannot be stopped. Even if you deport all the "illegals", it won't suddenly cause more whites to be born.

As usual, I'll add that GPG was Snowden's tool of choice because it was one of only things hampering mass collection at NSA. If it stops NSA, it can probably handle other attackers that don't have a budget of $200+ million a year for bypassing security. Definitely worthwhile to start with a known-good tool to do UI or other improvements.

You had one central oracle (Silk Road) of dealer/buyer reviews, and dealers put up a deposit.

Scamming was rife, but largely mitigated by the fact that the dealer cant effect their reviews and nor can the buyer. The dealer has the choice to not sell to you based on your history, the buyer has the choice to not buy from a dealer with a bad history.

Other than that, bitcoin had little to do with its security apart from providing anonymity. If it was possible to do so anonymously you could have just post them cash.
