Guadalajara Jalisco on Madison Blvd., next to the Wal-Mart. It's the best one in Madison, in my opinion, but I can't speak for Huntsville proper. Chapala, the one that has "authentic mexican restaurant" right in the name, next to Publix on County Line, is certainly genuine enough, but the service responsiveness ranges from sluggish to glacial.

Places like Casa Blanca, Rosie's, and Phil Sandoval's are all like Olive Garden for Mexican. They're what I think of when I imagine an "inauthentic tex-mex" restaurant.

Speaking of which, there are zero good Italian restaurants in the area, according to my spouse. There's a decent one in Chattanooga, within a mile of the 24/75 junction. But that's at least 2 hours away.

Chuck Wagon BBQ on Madison Blvd. sells Texas barbecue, if you didn't already know. Most of the other barbecue joints in the area are essentially Memphis barbecue, plus white sauce. The owner has also been referred to as the "barbecue Nazi", in reference to the "soup Nazi" Seinfeld episode, so you'd best know what you want before reaching the counter.

BMW is one of the most progressive major auto maker in the world today. This news is not news at all and was in line with previous announcements on BMW i-series, which is the only current BMW line up that contains fully electric vehicles. Mass making electric vehicles at the same being profitable is HARD given the current technology status quo, yet crucial for any auto maker want to be in the game long term.

By 2025, BMW fleet will almost all(25 models) be electrified, and half of them (12) will be BEV (battery eletric, aka fully eletric.) This is the company that's determined to be ALL-IN on electrification on their cars. The current i-series are just too damn expansive to make (carbon-fiber unibody etc.) and not sharing many parts to the existing BMW line ups, which cost it much higher to make. So until the iNEXT platform is ready, they aren't going to mass produce EVs. [1]

There are many inter-related/overlapping meanings of the word curry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry

According to that Wikipedia article, the word originates from Tamil, and:

"Archaeological evidence dating to 2600 BCE from Mohenjo-daro suggests the use of mortar and pestle to pound spices including mustard, fennel, cumin, and tamarind pods with which they flavoured food."

Wake up at 7 the next day, start knocking doors and sell your services to every business in town; the trick is that you can't go home and eat until you have at least a prospect client.

Don't cold call, don't send emails, don't print business cards. Knock doors while looking professional and competent, you'll get clients soon.
Totally! I definitely didn't mean to imply this is the Prof/TA's fault. It is the fault of many institutions and systems above them. I meant that TA's shouldn't be responsible for grading 4 sections of 60 students each. The only natural outcome of that is poor education, one facet of which is easily cheatable assignments.

It just seems ridiculous that the thing we are focusing on is that kids are cheating and not that we've made this massive, unscalable, expensive, ineffective education system. We are acting like its the kids who aren't holding up their end of the bargain when they try and cheat it.

I think all of these things are relative. Imagine if Tesla had started in 1983 instead of 2003. We wouldn't have started mass producing electric cars in 2000 - but we'd probably get there earlier than 2020. I don't think the question of how much to invest and where to focus R&D is easy or straightforward. A lot of technological development is the story of unexpected jumps from one area to another.

Imagine an alternative reality where fast wireless communication was omnipresent and laptops developed as dumb terminals which used little power. Battery technology might be where it was 40 years ago. It's also possible that, in 50 years, people will look back at the Tesla of today as stupid and foolhardy - striving to make electric cars with stone age battery tech, when a revolution in 2025 changes everything.
Ask HN: Does this service exist? Lookup and bulk delete all my online accounts?
Dear HN,

Over the years, I have registered for many different services, email subscriptions, and the like online. I worry about how much of myself is out there that I have simply lost track of or forgotten about.

Is there a service where you can look up all these accounts in one place by email address, and manage/delete them? I'm talking something beyond the bulk-unsubscribe email services like Unroll Me. I want more closure than that -- full account deletion. Is there such a thing?

Thanks!

BTW if this doesn't exist, consider this some startup idea validation! You have at least one sincere customer willing to pay for such a thing if it exists. I suspect I'm not the only one.

no i am not defending the AV. If someone was "wrong", it was definitely the AV and not the pedestrian.

The AV should definitely have at least tried to stop, it screwed up. Pedestrian has the right of way.

Having said that, I wouldn't want folks on HN to take this as an example and say "hey I am entitled to cross the road without looking, cars would decelerate for me and will always stop for me because i am entitled to right-of-way". WRONG

You cross the road without looking, the car hits you. Sure, AV or human-driver, the car would always be wrong.

You are "right" because you are the pedestrian and have right of way. You win the logical argument, but you are the one spending a year in the hospital.

Do you want to be "right"? Is taking a quick look at the road that much work for you?

> True, housing in Portland is cheaper on a nominal basis than Seattle, NY, LA, etc. but prices have been rising more than 10% a year for the past 5 years or so. Pay scales have not kept pace. If you have a $500,000+ home to sell in a different market, you'll be able to buy here. If you are moving here hoping to be a first-time homebuyer, good luck.

I think people forget that this is a nationwide problem in basically every city, not just a Portland problem.

"Prices rising 50% over the past 5 years" and "pay scales have not kept pace" equally describes five different cities in basically-nowheresville-Michigan, not to mention all the multiple dozens of other cities in other states equally effected in this exact same manner (Denver, Salt Lake, Austin, Atlanta, Phoenix, Seattle, Minneapolis, Reno, etc)

Portlandia gives Portland residents a convenient spectre to point fingers at. But if that show had never existed, Portland housing would still be every bit as broken, just as it is nearly everywhere across the country right now.
this wasn't a law, though, it was an executive order, which is just a decision by the president on how to run the executive branch.

in this case, it only applied to companies that had contracts with the federal government for more than $1 million. basically, Obama ordered his departments to stop doing business with companies that had certain arbitration clauses. Trump removed this restriction.

i would expect a ton of Trump's executive orders to be overturned if the next president is a Democrat.

it's much harder and less likely to repeal an actual law passed by Congress.
I'm not sure why you took it to that leap.

I value free speech -- everyone is free to share their opinions. But speech isn't distributed evenly. It used to be that only the very wealthy or the very organized could widely distribute their speech. Now it's very wealthy and anyone with far too much time on their hands. This is not a better situation.

People can now wield speech as a weapon -- not by spreading better ideas -- but by simply using so much that it drowns everyone else out. Your own speech online is literally worth less because you're not willing to spend hours every day posting it.
The latter is just getting worse.

YouTube is doing its best to demonetize content that doesn’t result in subscribing to an uploader. Ie: people posting numerous videos that are unrelated because they are so specific.

Human Driver Could Have Avoided Fatal Uber Crash, Experts Say
As a BMW owner, I don't have a desire to own an electric BMW. The magic of what Tesla's doing is the cool tech that makes one lust after one of their cars in ways you don't lust after other 'boring' sedans. (of course, you might still lust after a gas sports car!)

The secret sauce is the community, the supercharger network, the ability to seamlessly plan a trip with every charge stop pre-populated and supercharger availability right there on the screen and updated on the fly. IMO, it makes everything else feel janky and outdated. An electric BMW looks like an existing car with electric bits bolted on, and good luck figuring out where to charge.

And king of random has to be one of the worst offenders i've seen for showing something dangerous w/o explaining the hazards, such as exposed/poorly insulated mains connections or frankly dangerous tool usage.
It seems to be quite fast, but not exceptionally. Lets do a quick calculation, and neglect all aspects of proper stellar kinematics -- Our sun has traveled quite some distance itself during the 70000 years, I don't properly described that motion itself, so take everything with a grain of salt:

Lets call the speed difference of the star with respect to our sun `Δv`

Δv = 20 [ly] / 70 000 [y] = 0.000285714 [ly/y]

Now, lets convert the unit `ly/y` into a unit that we can relate to, to get a grasp on it: 1ly = 63241.08AU[1].

Δv = 0.000285714 [ly/y] = 18.0688 [AU/y]

18 AU is about the perihelion of Uranus, a bit smaller still. So the star traveled on average, with respect to our sun, about the smallest distance between the Sun and Uranus in 1 year. To put that in perspective:

Δv = 18.0688 [AU/y] * 149597900 [km/AU] / 31557600 [s/y]
= 85.6550 [km/s]

The LSR[2] is about 220 km/s. The Suns deviation from this value is about +14 km/s[3]. So an object with Δv of about 85.6 km/s is quite fast in comparison. But this is still nothing compared to hypervelocity stars, wich can be more than 1000 km/s faster and are exceeding the escape velocity of the galaxy.

------

[1] : 1 AU (Astronomical unit) is the average distance from Earth to Sun.

[2] : Local Standard of Rest -- average speed of our stellar neighborhood through the galaxy.

Heh, no, fair point (and not what I was suggesting). I just think that Signal is a drop in replacement for WhatsApp and it can start a conversation about privacy and what happens with data.

This doesn’t seem like a counterpoint, assuming he was an executive/decision-maker at IBM. i.e. if he was a “layoff-er” as opposed to a “layoff-ee.”
It's a millimeter towards around up.
I'm no space science maker person. So take this all with a grain of salt. But.

Halley's Comet takes 75 years to make an orbit. It goes out to about 35AU. Let's call that 1 year per AU. That rough, rough number would lead one to conclude that anything from the Oort Cloud moving at a similar speed could take, say, 100,000 years to get here even if it was aimed at us. If triggered by something 70,000 years ago, we'd still have a bunch of millenia to prepare.

Anyway. I'm sure I'm completely wrong.

Many would also say that Tesla's are only luxury in price. The interiors are not nearly as nice as those from BMW or Mercedes.
The issue of incentivizing students to guess-and-check when providing the test scripts upfront is, IMO, fixed by making the students write the tests themselves. This paper explains it pretty well:

https://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/cs257/archive/stephen-edwards/a...

Essentially the students would write a test suite and the grading framework would grade based on

1) Code coverage when running the student's test cases against an instructor's reference solution

2) Correctness of output: running student's test cases on student's code and comparing with output from running those test cases on the reference solution

3) Number of test cases passed in student's test suite

Also from the paper:

"All three measures are taken on a 0%–100% scale, and the three components are simply multiplied together. As a result, the score in each dimension becomes a “cap” for the overall score—it is not possible for a student to do poorly in one dimension but do well overall. Also, the effect of the multiplication is that a student cannot accept so-so scores across the board. Instead, near-perfect performance in at least two dimensions should become the expected norm for students."

Students still get the benefit of knowing their grade when they submit, and as an added bonus students get more hands-on experience with test-driven development. Having the students write the tests themselves also increases the cost of mutating code until it just works.
A photographer uncovers the everyday beauty of East Africa
He groans with disappointment in the video that the longimeter and the map measurer don't give the same result, but we don't find out which was right. When he measures the curve he drew, the longimeter gives 28.9 mm but the map measurer (a.k.a. opisometer, a hand-held instrument for measuring curves on paper) says 34.5 mm; that's a 16% difference, so pretty big.

To do a real test, you could print out a curve with a mathematically calculated length, say a sine curve, then measure with both methods (and other methods like placing a string on top) to find out what works best in practice.

They're measuring in a volumetric unit, and you switched it to a linear unit. They're using milliliters not millimeters.

>an age of non-traditional services ... as it stands now, anyone has the right to kick you out

"Let the market decide" is the new "Every generation thinks they invented sex". We did decide on these things and we wound up with rental agreements, leases, etc. There's definitely a grey area here about what constitutes a "visit" (like a hotel booking) and what is a "rental" (like a month-to-month or longer lease) that needs to get settled. But the current governmental climate in the US is all for market disruptors, so YMMV. All that said,

That seems like exactly the unit. Just like when measuring rainfall, the amount collected scales with the area of the equipment. What would you prefer, mm/(mm)^2?

I would assume time is on the scale of per day; that seems, at least to me, the only time unit they wouldn't have specified here. Of course, in an article this bloggy it's not a given that the reasonable interpretation of such vague units is the interpretation intended--but I think that there is a reasonable interpretation.
Having attended a university that was coop-based, I've had this discussion (or did when it was more relevant) and the key truly is "a well written resume" (plenty of coop positions come and go so...)

Often I would have conversations with people about resumes where they had problems and those problems would be things like:
* How long is your resume...? (way too long, often)
* Can you drop/compress any positions? (keep recent/relevant)
* Instead of "Employment", can you say "Coop Experience"? for the section?
* etc.

(thought questions, not asking for responses). I do agree, you definitely have to make the "coop" part super obvious otherwise you won't make it past initial filters.

> The Nissan Leaf, with a 68% smaller battery than a Tesla

Dude, that figure is kinda bogus. You can't just cite a random number like that. The first Leafs had a 20 Kw battery which is pretty close to your figure compared to a base 60 KWh Tesla Model S. But that was only the very first years, they went up to 24 KWh then 30 KWh and the current Leaf is 40 KWh.

They're still smaller than the base Tesla battery, but they are also cheaper. THey've always been way, way cheaper than a Model S or Model X, and the current Leaf is still cheaper than the Model 3 (and you can actually buy one now.)

> Lots of stuff about the Leaf and Bolt not being profitable.

Companies like to make a lot of hay about how much money they are losing on the stuff they are selling to seem like they're doing us a favor by selling it to us. This is always at least a little misleading. For example, they will roll in the cost of the R&D and building factories and updating their tooling and supply chain and say "Well we are losing money on Bolts this year" because of all those costs.

But those costs are investments. It's not like they are costs that go into every Bolt they make. It's an investment they have to make up front and they get to make this kind of spurious claim they're "losing money" because of it. They aren't any more than the "lose money" whenever they update a model of car.

Technically whenever they update a regular model the "lose money" on some number of them due to the costs of updates to the manufacturing and tooling and supply chain. But you don't hear anything about it because everybody knows it's a stupid way to look at it.

We should pay no more attention to these claims as they ramp up to make EVs.

Again I say; EVs are here, you can buy them, they are great, stop listening to B.S. And most importantly, stop repeating it!
