It definitely is impressive, and they deserve great credit for their advancements-- I never liked the Prius but it was beyond obvious that every car in the future HAD to have a way of capturing deceleration energy rather than just bleeding it off as crude waste heat -- how silly and archaic that seems now.

But I'm not quite clear on your comment-- At first I thought it was to be read that the Toyota accomplishment was more impressive than Tesla's. But then I realized maybe you meant it to be less impressive, because the scale is far less. So I assumed you meant maybe Tesla's accomplishment was the more impressive one. But then you said Toyota's is EVEN MORE impressive when you consider that it's just a single model (which is a good point).
"If we changed government assistance to encourage parents getting married that would help reduce fatherlessness and all of the negatives that come with that."

That's not really a good idea. I know my godson's parents, and if they getting assistance was reliant on getting married, they would end up killing each other.

"If we changed government assistance to encourage parents to have less children they would be better able to take care of the ones they have."

How, exactly would you do this? And do it without punishing the kids by leaving their parents with even fewer resources?
So like, /Users/ken on my mac is an NFS mount? That's horrifying.

Yes, such enterprises are stuck in the 1980s and deserve what they get.

(Also, "personal files" shouldn't mean SSH private keys in any stretch of the definition.)
To me that's a feature and not a bug. A good codebase would have --noImplicitAny enabled, which would catch this. Relying on usage of a function to know its types is fragile, the function should be the one declaring the types it uses so that callers can adapt to changes, not the other way around.
How'd that work out for them? If you act rationally at all times and then loose your shirt in the end, are you "pretty good" at judging risk? I believe banks failed miserably at the the one thing they were supposed to be good at and it cost us a trillion dollars.
I really, really, really wish my 3 had the same awesome dash and display of the S. And of course the S is better looking although a bit long in the tooth. And has more space inside. And the power trunklid is nice because I'm not used to sedans and don't really like manually closing the trunk on the 3. It's a 2-step motion unlike a hatchback lid that closes more naturally.

But the more time I spend in the 3, the more I realize it's a MUCH nicer car inside than the S -- which I didn't expect.
True. I might not mind as much if it was (possible to, in a sane way, do): "< input | (...)"
Trade War - US is barking and CN is ignoring.

Google - Google bluffed and CN called. Now Google seems to stop bluffing.

Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to be the case.
I get your point, but the cost of the phone and mobile data to actually use whatsapp has a lower limit as well.

Even if you use whatsapp on a $50 phone (which you use for say 5 years) with a $3/month plan (which seems incredibly cheap), you have amortised costs of $46 per year. Increasing it to $47 to get whatsapp does not seem as unreasonable as you suggest.

Malawi is also an _extremely_ poor country, for reference Bangladesh have ≈ 5% smartphone usage with a GDP of ≈ 4000 USD per capita (PPP) while the GDP of Malawi is ≈ 1000 USD (PPP) per capita.

I would argue that not paying (but having the means to actually use whatsapp!) is more of a choice, or lack of payment infrastructure, rather than not having the disposable income to spend 1 USD per year for the service.
Much of SV's revenue is built on a foundation of manipulation, tapping into all manner of human weakness, from our all-to-willingness to trade our souls for so-called free stuff to our susceptibility to addiction.

But such criticism will never get traction on Hacker News.

Just sold my R 2 weeks ago and picked up a 3. :) Both fantastic cars in their own right.
I saw an article on here a few days ago that suggested you could detect isotopes present in "more recent" forgeries that came about as the result of the nuclear testing age that would not be present on the originals.
Yup and they're illegal in most places I'm aware of. Public signage requires permits. Private property usually doesn't take kindly to people putting garbage in their lawn. Etc.
> slavery was immoral, but that immediate manumission was impractical and would lead to serious social and political consequences, both for those who would have been freed and for the nation itself.

Indeed, we saw the effects of that during the Civil War. Perhaps Jefferson had more of a sense of the rising conflict than folks tend to give him credit for.
> It becomes even more impressive when you realize that before the Prius, there was no market for green cars, hybrid, electric, or otherwise.

The first incarnation of the Honda Insight was before the Prius, and somewhat successful before the Prius came on the scene and took over.
Can you talk about the use of group theory for computer vision or crystallography a bit? I'm familiar with the math but I'm not familiar with group theory's applications in those areas. That sounds pretty interesting. Is it primarily group theory, or does it so venture into abstract algebra more generally?

Cryptocurrency Regulation Update (August 2018)
It's absolutely the case, no question; but the problem here is that a school model that works in that scenario is unlikely to work in the current American scenario. It's like writing programs for high-level APIs (that will take care of memory, sorting and so on) versus writing programs against the POSIX interface (where you have to basically do everything yourself).
The Gen-1 Prius didn't look much different from any other "used bar of soap" compact that Toyota made. The Gen-2 did have a unique body style, but I put that down to aero requirements to hit fuel economy targets.
Yep I’ve had this recently too. Three devs joined the team who had no experience in relational databases, didn’t even know what SQL was for.

A few weeks later they told this story of using MongoDB and how they had layered some rules on top to ensure data consistency...
There are now a range of cheap Chinese phones that run completely stock Android, with updates directly from Google.

https://www.android.com/one/

The cameras do tend to be worse than on a flagship, but what do you expect for 1/3 of the price? They have to save money somewhere. An older flagship can be good value for money, but you're getting a phone with several years of wear-and-tear rather than something brand new.
SS7 attacks.

In May 2017, O2 Telefónica, a German mobile service provider, confirmed that cybercriminals had exploited SS7 vulnerabilities to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) to make unauthorized withdrawals from users' bank accounts. The criminals first installed malware on people's computers, allowing them to steal online banking users' account credentials and phone numbers. Then the attackers purchased access to a fake telecom provider and set up redirects from the victims' phone numbers to lines controlled by them.

Netflix kernel engineer here.. We use FreeBSD's async sendfile() and not aio, so it would be a bit harder for us to fix open latency, since we're not using aio.

I had not thought about open latency being an issue, that's fascinating. Looking at one of our busy 100G servers w/NVME storage, I see an openat syscall latency of no more than 8ms sampling over a few minute period, with most everything being below 65us. However, the workload is probably different than yours (more longer lived connections, fewer but larger files, fewer opens in general). Eg, we probably don't have nearly the "long tail" issue you do..
Thank you for the very thorough reply, especially the terminology. Yes, I think what I want is site-to-site vpn hardware to have lan parties with my family on consoles that don't do well with the internet (I'm looking at you nintendo switch).

So multiple people have listed ZeroTier, and you mentioned it as a client-client. It looks like they have a crowdfunding campaign to launch a site-site vpn device... I think: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/zerotier-edge-open-source...

Edit: Thank you so much for teaching me to fish (the terminology) instead of just giving me a fish (recommendation).
You need to look at the demographics of the drivers. Younger, inexperienced drivers drive smaller cars.
If they had written it in Rust this never would have happened
You, could do tiered models as well. At a billion users they were running 11 servers. Free with ads and data sharing, .25 targeted ads no data sharing, .50 geolocated ads only. $1 privacy + the standard. 1.50 premium extra storage or w/e
But anything but going closer to the Right is "exacerbating the divide."
Depends on what your ethical framing is. You sound pretty utilitarian, so I think your takeaway is that respecting someone else's thought processes is more likely to deliver the results you want more reliably.

My advice is to never assume that someone is actively evil. People almost never think of themselves as evil. Instead, they have values to which they are attached and habits of thoughts to which they are accustomed.

You're more likely to achieve genuine understanding of another's mental processes - or empathy, as it's often called - if you start from a place of being willing to respect them. This understanding generally gives you a better appreciation of how to persuade them in a manner that will leave them with a positive impression of you afterwards.
Does anybody know if it would be possible to just run a standalone version of Android Auto on something like this?
CLOS is metacircular, implemented in itself. Moreover, it decouples state (classes and instances) from protocol (generic functions and methods) and through the MOP allows you to reprogram every aspect of its behavior.

Python's object system suffers from the same ailments that Python itself does. It's an amalgamation of various hacks, some obviously inspired by Common Lisp [1], others made up on the spot in order to make everything "fit" together.

In order to best see this, browse CPython's source and find how metaclasses are implemented. Then imagine what you would have to do if you wanted to radically change Python's object system. Contrast with the Common Lisp MOP.

[1] Here is Guido talking about Python's metaobject protocol. Taking into account everything it lacks and how it's implemented, it's not really a metaobject protocol in the CLOS sense, but it's enlightening to read GvR's description of his "aha!" moments in the slides -- which he came upon when he read "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" -- and then realize that he simply picked very few of the ideas from it whilst completely missing the essence:

http://laser.inf.ethz.ch/2012/slides/vanRossum/laser-mop.pdf

So yes, Python has metaclasses but metaclasses are only ~5% of what makes CLOS (and AMOP) iconoclastic. For the rest, read "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" [2]. This should convince you that Python is really nothing like Lisp and the philosophy of metaprogramming that Lisp espouses is dumbed down and made pretty much powerless (in a similar way, interactive programming) in Python.

I switched from IOS to Android a month ago, and one of my favorite things about it is that I can use the Brave web browser (with built in ad block, tracker block, and HTTPS Everywhere) and it's been amazing. My browser experience on mobile is complete different- no more videos or audio ads taking over and stopping my music, significantly less data being used, and of course it means I don't see ridiculous ads. On top of that because Android actually lets you pick what apps you launch things with it works with all my other apps as well, without the need for some "vpn hack".
Huh, Edge does really weird thing with that site; it shows punycode in the addressbar, but decodes it in the "website information" box that pops up when you click the lock icon:

https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/HxdrkES.png

In comparison Firefox (for better or worse) consistently decodes it until you reach the certificate details window (which is like 4 levels deep in clicking)

https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/HxdsqId.png

But Edge (and IE apparently) have another trick in their sleeve, something that I really wish Firefox would also adapt in some way: small icon that shows that it is IDN:

Sure, it is pretty insignificant and kinda difficult to notice, so probably won't help much against scammers. But I think it is still pretty neat.

The 9000 was part of our "on-call kit" in my SA team at the time. I remember being out on a hike in Atlanta one weekend when I got paged while I was on call and trying to use it to ssh in to fix an issue. It worked, but barely. I wish I could remember the exact details, but all I recall is that I was able to fix the problem and didn't need to end my hike early.

The wiki page doesn't say anything about ssh, but I'm almost certain it had it. This may have been around 98 or 99 though.
> I think it’s fair to say the iPad is still relatively weak (relative to the phenomenal success of the iPhone, anyway).

By that standard so is literally every consumer product ever created. Take the comparison out of the picture though, and The iPad alone is a solid Fortune 500 company that didn’t even exist 9 years ago.
The Honda Insight looked even more goofy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Insight#Design

They were shown in 1997 and on the road in the US by 2001 or so.

The Prius seems to have been a much better car.
It's not a zero-sum game, but that doesn't mean that a small amount of people can't extract some 99% of of the value created.
Ok, I agree that some MBAs can be full of it but...[Y]ou will have to sell your product and some of the MBA's are really great at that.

Some are full of it, some can sell. What about the rest, and what are the proportions?
I should have mentioned I'm trying to connect devices that can connect only to wireless that you can't set up a VPN on (the Nintendo Switch). Though I'm sure once I got it setup I'd abuse it for easy file transfer occasionally...
Kumo: a tiny, programmable, hardware swappable keyboard
I just had the traction battery in my Gen 2 Prius replaced. It's not really any larger than what's in the Camry. There was a hack for the Gen 2 Prius that allowed EV only operation, and the maximum distance on that was less than 10 miles. Unless you're looking at one of the new plug-in Prius implementations, the batteries they use aren't really all that large.
Melted down and sold
The point is that if you’re only getting 2%, there’s no need to pay fees.

If you’ve got a card that pays more than 2%, sure, it can make sense to pay fees.

This is definitely the reason. France specifically makes it very difficult to start a business, but even in other places such as Germany or the UK, it seems like any attitude towards independence is always met with discouragement.
I believe that only applies to the North American market. It's still possible that they'll make sedans for Europe. It's also possible that they'll continue to make sedans but jack them up and call them crossovers.
> The FAA tests found that the anti-fire halon gas installed in airline cargo areas wouldn’t extinguish a lithium battery fire, but it prevents the blaze from spreading to adjacent material such as cardboard or clothing.

Is halon toxic or used in high enough concentrations to cause suffocation? I know sometimes people transport large pets in airplane cargo holds, and I'm wondering if they'd be safe or not.
Okay, the article claims there was a lost opportunity to do something about the problem in the eighties, but reading the actual text, the presented historical facts (which are very interesting and very well presented!), I'm not seeing it. What I'm seeing is that the world was not ready to face the problem back then.

And it seems to me the reason why not is economic. At the end of the day, people care more about the roof over their heads than they do about global problems. In the eighties, we didn't have much by way of good substitutes for fossil fuel. So the message people heard was that they would have to accept economic hardship for the sake of the environment. That was not what people wanted to hear.

The lesson to learn from this is that we need to address the economic issues alongside the environmental ones. The message needs to not be that you must accept unemployment and poverty. The message needs to be that the task of transitioning the world to renewable energy is doable but enormous - and has the potential to create millions upon millions of jobs, as well as breaking the resource curse that decoupled the interests of the rulers from those of the people. That successfully turning our hands to the new energy industries will bring more prosperity than holding onto the old ones.

Google envies the huge amount of data Baidu enjoys. In this AI/ML age, data is gold. China is the biggest gold mining field. If I were China government, I would block Google for its bluff made/called in 2010.
The other option still takes away 50% of your net worth and 1 salary so it’s not like that’s ideal either.
In American English, the continent is split in three: "West Asia", "South Asia", and "Asia".
I don't follow Tesla or the automotive market but I do follow space and for many years SpaceX was mocked because of it's low launch rate and delays. They are now #2 by launch rate, behind only China. SpaceX launches 2x to 3x more often than ULA or Ariane and their rampup was also faster than that of comparable vehicles.

The argument that a company can't build it's product fast enough to satisfy demand strikes me as extremely weak: as long as margins as positive the production problems are solvable.
What you are describing is much easier on iOS. The default web browser natively supports extensions, including ad blockers. The AdGuard vpn hack had the benefit of blocking ads in all apps at the cost of being so invasive.
yes, basically.
They had something like 50 employees didn't they? Back of napkin I'd say probably around $10,000,000 for employee packages. Multiple that by 3-5x for total operating costs and I'd speculate they'd need $30-50m to break even which is about 3% of their subscribers paying $1.
I agree we aren't there yet, but I could see maybe a new sku? Windows Cloud Server or something similar. Windows Nano Server supposedly fits this bill, but businesses are going to want the real deal, not the stripped down nano version.
