How Do Campaign Spending Limits Affect Electoral Competition?
For me, muscle cars just got pincered out.

I had a '99 Mustang GT convertible. Loved it, worked on it, drove it for 14 years. A brand new Mustang GT coupe starts at $35,355 but a more realistic configuration would put you around $43,000. That's a car that gets 15-25 mpg.

Instead we picked up a Model 3, which after tax rebates in CA comes out to $41,000. It's not the most fun car on the planet (though it does match the Mustang GT's 0-60 times). But for driving around when I need to run errands and stuff it's just fine. But I don't use the Tesla for my commute. I'm in the Bay Area, and my commute is about 40 miles. That'd be 1:45 hours in, and 2:30 to get home, so a little over 4 hours of commute per day.

For commuting I have a motorcycle. I dropped $9000 on an almost-new bike that gets ~50 mpg. It's more fun than the Mustang was, peppy, perky, and with reasonable lane splitting (i.e. no more than 15 mph over surrounding traffic) my commute drops to well under an hour to get in, and under an hour and a half to get home.

I do about 20,000 miles in commuting per year, so for the Mustang that'd be $4000 in fuel per year, with the Tesla it'd be ~$200, and on the bike it's about $1500 plus around 400 hours of my life back (which is a trade I'm happy to make). My total was ~$50,000 vs. ~$43,000 for a new Mustang.

So I have no idea where a "muscle car" would fit in my life.
You may not need a crawler for this. The HTTP Archive has already done all the crawling for a million URLs from the most popular websites. If one of their existing reports doesn't cover what you need, you can write custom queries using BigQuery:

One other complexity that k8s (or similar) introduces is more security concerns. If you've been runnning for 2 years now, I'm sure you'll have seen the changes required to secure Kubernetes from the "old days".

Onavo has been a critical part of Facebook's recent startup acquisitions, and the data they had was very powerful.

"The tool shaped Facebook's decision to buy WhatsApp and informed its live-video strategy, they say. Facebook used Onavo to build its early-bird tool that tips it off to promising services and that helped Facebook home in on Houseparty."

They have fixed representations for different types, with tradeoffs. And you have to pick one. And the thing about timeout handling specifically is that everyone along the path from the timer driver up through the app needs to agree on the precision needed, or you'll get an overflow condition

I agree, but the difference between 32-bit counters and 64-bit counters as a precision refinement is very special. Upgrading from 32-bit counters to 64-bit counters, even when counting nanoseconds, lifts you out of human timescales. No electronic system has ever or will ever need to maintain a microsecond count for 600000 years, for example.
One of the interesting things that stuck out in this read was that Mercedes is going to invest more money to make electric cars than Tesla has[1].

The superchargers are a weird thing. Tesla has been building them out of their own investment pocket. Is Mercedes going to do that? Are we going to have bespoke recharging stations competing for bits of commercial real estate? How about parking lots where there are the 'mercedes spaces', 'nissan spaces', 'bmw spaces', and 'tesla spaces'? How does that work?

I think it is great that BMW and Mercedes are "seriously committed" to electric cars, is now the time to seriously commit to some standards when it comes to charging and maintenance? Will we see third party battery packs at some point?

I keep thinking, is there an electric car market or is there a Tesla market? Remember when tablets were just iPads and everything else kind of sucked (and kind of still does?) Is that where we're going in the electric car space?

As you can tell I have way more questions than answers here. What does the 'flip' look like when automakers really flip over to electric as the mainstream car?

I'd love to read a guide into modern web that focused on establishing a leanest possible solid foundation for further work. Like, "this is the minimum setup to get minification of your JS and CSS; add this to get auto-refresh on file change; ...". Everything I've read so far jumps straight into downloading hundreds of megabytes of NPM modules. I just don't feel comfortable with all that code doing God knows what, God knows why.

Then you'll need to accept that people will be annoyed by your method of paying rent, and that some will reject or block it.
I think the the younger folks are more likely to spot an outsize opportunity where no one was looking at all, whereas an older person might be more aware of an incremental change in an existing business model that presents a new opportunity.
I wonder what is Google's real reason for this. I have a suspicion it may have something to do with Chrome adding tracking variables to all the URLs you visit, or something along those lines. And they don't want most people to know about it.
You're right, I am. However, that life experience is derived from the common experience of "being in college", so I think the two are necessarily intertwined. I don't think you'd get the same experience traveling the world (you'd get great experience, just not anything similar) or just living near other 18-22 year olds without the common goal of graduation.
I'll admit my ignorance about the details, but I do stand by my belief that non-profits are not always necessarily beneficial for society- I don't think that's particularly controversial. In many cases, there's a substantial gap between "deemed beneficial" and actually beneficial that most people don't grasp because they've been indoctrinated to believe that non-profits can do no wrong. More discerning folks will pore over 990s and ratings on Charity Navigator.
I'd say a bigger problem from my perspective is all the non-programmers who get into management and project management roles who never learned these lessons and who refuse to listen to programmers trying to teach them. They'll ignore you, and if you don't 'be a team player' you'll end up replaced by someone who will.
Pretty much anything from Digilent. I've got an old Spartan6 board that has a boatload of horsepower. If you want to get fancy, look at the Zedboard family -- FPGA wrapped around ARM cores.
On the other hand, many resources accumulate with age, including access to human, social and financial capital. Older entrepreneurs are likely to have more experience in managing development, finance marketing, sales, HR and other operations.

I wonder why they didn’t look at prior startup experience. Could it be that those 44 yrs old had 2-3 other startups before that just didn’t work and so they knew how to do things?
The i-pace is a very nice car, but their sales challenges make it unlikely to be a serious competitor. I thought about buying one myself, but Jag's reputation scared me off.

The numbers are far more favorable for older founders than I expected. But that's also completely in line with my life experience. As you work, you learn how to manage yourself and others, and a lifetime learner accumulates knowledge of much greater depth and breadth than someone younger. This accumulated knowledge and management skill should provide advantages in startups.
you are risking your career and monetary stability, at your 20s too, if you start a company and fail, you risk going homeless and having a huge gap on your cv.
I'll second this approach provided you have some 'downtime' to work it all out. Things are much better now than when I started with TS, but it can still be a lot to take on all at once.

Using TS from the start probably affects how you write your code, and it's definitely easier and less daunting to be faces with a ton of 'problems to fix'. But learning how to add TS to an existing project is a valuable skill to have.

Coal mining and aerospace have a completely different attitude to safety to begin with. Maybe my 'sample size' is too small but I'd figure with close to 100 dd's under my belt if DIY QA would work I would have seen it by now.

The only place where it sort-of worked that I looked at is where there still was another QA dept further downstream.
I assert most programmers have not been exposed to lisp. I further assert most that complain of it's lack of syntax have not used it in any capacity.

I would be interested in studies on this. Most I ever see is posturing and assertions with little to no evidence. Frustrating, because I think both sides have valid points. And I fully believe there is a learning curve both ways. I suspect they both converge on total ability. I am genuinely interested in ideas on how that could be explored.
The Gigafactory in Reno will cover 600,000 cars per year (with 70+ Kwh battery) and the Chinese one (currently under construction in Shanghai) will add 200,000 by 2020.

No other Western automakers has even plan to achieve half of that.

Software with airplanes is usually periodic and not event driven. So every 10 ms or some interval of time it will compute all of the control laws and monitors and such. So that 32 bit counter is most likely the period counter or a maintenance interval counter.
> 95% of American's went into walmart.

That seems very hard to believe. Trying to find more info on where those numbers came from, appears the NPD Group looked at 4 million receipts?

How do the segments that would avoid walmart not make up more than 5% of the US population? Those who are morally/politically against walmart, the very wealthy (likely have someone go for them, or don't shop at walmart), physically incapable, or not physically near (e.g. young people in cities with no car)
There are numerous successful "serious" projects written in Go!
The idea that some environmenal metric is more important than human suffering is bizarre and vaguely masochistic. The environment is an instrumental good for humanity's use, not a legitimate moral object in itself. Human extinction is a maximally bad scenario no matter how well the environment does afterwards

Tesla p75 starts from $77,500
Bmw i3 starts from $44,000, it’s almost $35,000 more expensive. And you can get a used i3 for $20,000 easily, I doubt there are any Tesla’s in that price range
I would like to see a citation for this assertion that, if your company fails, you are at high risk (or higher than normal risk) of homelessness. This doesn't fit with what I know for what puts a person at risk of homelessness.

And there's no gap on your CV. You put down "Worked on launching x startup from X date to Y date. It sold, folded, whatever and I'm looking for a job now."

Thank you in advance if you can come up with a cite.
There's definitely a lot of age bias in the employment, particularly after ~40. The key is to move up the difficulty ladder. Your age-resistant employment prospects skyrocket if you move away from lower value skills - think PHP - and move up to (just for example) Java or Go et al.

Or move away from low value front-end junk that turns over every three years (the latest JavaScript framework of the month), and to higher value serious programming. That's where long-term job security comes from. The difficulty acts as a barrier to entry against a flood of low skill labor that will constantly undercut you (both in regards to age and income). Master a high value, higher barrier to entry language or two and you can write a six figure ticket for the rest of your adult life. And as certain languages begin to themselves age off, the demand often only goes up for the dwindling supply of engineers that still know it well.

I recommend reading the "NASA Manager's Handbook for Software Development". It contains some great guidelines for writing safety-critical software. AFAIK, no Space Shuttle mission ever suffered a serious safety incident due to a software defect.

Article 13 is the key one, mandating upload filtering. This has all sorts of side effects - suddenly you can't make a Dropbox style file sharing site without implementing pre-emptive filtering. You can't rely on notify-and-takedown.

Article 11 potentially has huge implications for social media sites; suddenly a user posting a news article link with a quote becomes a copyright liability.

All the worry that was focused on the GDPR should be focused on this instead, in my opinion.
My take on it:

"The youth have all the energy and time to spend, no obligations and no financial worries. But they have very little life experience and exposure to these hidden problems. So what they end up solving are the kind of problems primarily young people have. This certainly makes for some very amazing products, but I can’t help feeling a little disillusioned. The amount of time and energy that goes into fun, but ultimately useless ideas, rather than fixing some of these hidden problems is mind-numbing.

On the other hand, the older generations are exposed (aware or unaware) to a lot of these hidden problems. They have experience on how to solve them because they understand them. Yet by that time, most of them have to provide for a family, pay of their mortgage, tuition fees, healthcare, yearly vacations and the 3 cars. They also often lack the imagination on how to solve things in a new technological paradigm."
I hope you see this reply, because I'm very curious about your opinion on this I have watched from afar as Tesla (wisely, to me) approached the market top down with the S and Roadster. But I'm definitely the type that is very practical as far as vehicles go: get me from point A to point B, do it reliably for a long time (10-15 years with regular maintenance), and hopefully do so for around $25k base.

Where do you see the Model 3 vs the Prius (or Bolt? I think I can pick up on your feelings on the Volt) currently, in those terms? My mind is literally blown by some of the 0-60 and quarter mile numbers, but those end up as very low priorities for me when I'm thinking about getting a new vehicle.

edit: the technologist in me loves the Tesla platform, but the car buyer in me loves being 4-5 generations into a platform, at least.

edit 2: ... so, I have no idea why people are downvoting me. If you did, I'd appreciate some feedback so I can avoid it in the future, but I asked a car question on a car submission in response to a car comment.
Hi @guillaumec , Thank you for this wonderful software.

Are the places, online or real-world, where I can get training on using Stellarium? I want to enjoy this software, but my usage has been cursory for many years now. Where can I find more information about both the concepts of Astronomy and using Stellarium for those? A video course or a in-person session would be beneficial for me, and I believe, for many others. Thanks again!
there was a guy here on HN just a few days ago who said something I'd never heard before: "after losing 50+ pounds my metabolism is ruined forever, I cannot eat more than 1600 calories without gaining weight".

The interesting thing about the marketplace disruption model is how difficult it can be to distinguish disruptive from sustaining innovations in their early phases.

Take electric cars, an example that Christensen has talked about in his books. He viewed electric cars as a disruptive innovation.

However, few of the predictions about the electric car market from this perspective have held up. Tesla, the upstart, attacked the market from the top end, not the bottom end with luxury cars. The company now has formidable competitors in major auto makers including Mercades, and GM. Electric cars are still pricy and appeal to an upmarket customer base willing to sacrifice range for other factors.

Christensen's blueprint for the electric car industry was attack from the bottom. Focus on markets where inexpensive, short range vehicles are an advantage. He offers parents buying a first car for their kids as an example.

But that's not how things have played out. It turns out that replacing a combustion-based powertrain with an electric one allows established players to continue using the same business model that got them where they are. Petroleum companies may be disrupted in the changeover to EVs, but that has little to do with automakers who at the end of the day make a bug hunk of metal and plastic for moving people around and sell it on credit.

It's tempting to think of online universities in much the same way as Christensen thought about electric cars: as a disruptive innovation.

What if online universities are instead sustaining innovations that will allow incumbents to preserve their existing business models (selling prestige and a credential to families with college-age children) while proving hostile to startups hoping to break in?
I wondered the same thing. You would think that betting on the match should not be under the jurisdiction of the tennis club, rather the gambling regulators.

I fail to see how someone electronically (or otherwise) relaying non-confidential information about a tennis match would in any way harm the integrity of the match.

It is shit. Duplicate stories are arbitrarily allowed to be submitted (exact same article/url), while sometimes it actually works and prevents duplicates.

Oftentimes you see submissions for an interesting article languish in the 'new' section, but then a user re-submits the exact same thing ('duplicate detection' algo at work, lol) and it's on the front page in minutes. Whether that user is a 'power user', besties with dang, lucky, or ???..

They are already plenty of public chargers. Also most people can charge at home during the night so you don't need to charge during the day – unless you're driving long distance, in which case, you want to supercharge half your battery in 15 minutes.

As somebody who was used to running my own servers when I was first forced to use Heroku on a project...I'll go ahead and tell you there is an adjustment period.

But after using then going back to the alternatives, there's a lot more that I miss about it than the other way around. You take for granted how much stuff you no longer have to deal with, until you have to again. There will be a moment when you'll be irritated about some very low-level knob that you want to turn that you can't get access to but when that happens, don't take for granted all the other ones you're not dealing with.

And it simplifies life for developers tremendously.

I'd really enjoy seeing integration with Google Street view (where possible), to modify the terrestrial panorama, as the foreground for what the user might expect to see on the ground, for any given pin dropped on the map.

It starts the viewing on Null Island (0 Lat / 0 Long) when geolocation is refused, so the grassy farm field is cool, but it's be neat to pull the view into cities, to see what the sky would look like, if the light pollution weren't getting in the way.
