Used Leaf's have come down to the upper end of your price range. Heck, with group buys and all other related discounts, I've seen them for $14k new.
They've shown the numbers for 15 years,and it's nothing but losses.
That's the ticket for me. I want a consistent experience. I want the same bookmarks, extensions, and history on all my devices, without worrying about it. And I also want great performance.
At the time, clickthrough/shrink wrap license agreements were not nearly as controversial/legally questionable as they are today. My thought was to just include it in the license agreement, and give users the ability to opt out in the settings. In many ways the technology actually protected privacy, and thus I (perhaps naively) viewed it more as a privacy enhancement than something sinister that needed special permission. But given their sensitivity to the issue, had they actually implemented it, I am certain they would have at least given it its own checkbox during install.
> I honestly cannot comprehend how anyone could support this law while having any understanding of how the internet works.

These are the same politicians that brought us the law that forces every website to ask EU visitors permission to store cookies with a big fat modal dialog, so I don't think you need to worry that people who any understanding of how the internet works supported this law. Imagine all the time wasted on those modal dialogs and add up the total cost in human lives. I bet none of them have any clue that the functionality to block cookies is built right into your web browser.

The funny part is that they're doing this copyright law out of jealousy of Silicon valley and they don't realise that these types of regulations and attitudes are the very reason why Silicon valley is not located in the EU, and why the next Silicon valley won't be either, and that this law will make it harder for new companies to compete with Youtube and Facebook.
I wasn't a Brexit fan but the EU seems to make boneheaded decisions like this pretty often. It really does suggest some fundamental structural reform could be in order.
Do you mean like selecting multiple (which I believe is possible, but I don't have the gmail app handy to check) and then labelling them all together, or like swiping a bundle away (which there is nothing analogous to I don't believe)

Please do.
It's more of a case of the dvd seller offering a service where they will almost but not quite always replace scratched dvds with new ones free off charge and people becoming reliant on that.
>It seems that if most people agreed, we might be closer to a world where it was policy or law

If we lived in a democracy...we live in a Constitutional Republic, the will of the people is often ignored. Another example might be marijuana legalization, where polls clearly show a majority of people want the federal laws changed, yet here we are.

Curious how you arrive at the conclusion tax payers should have the obligation to subsidize food for the employees of publicly traded companies, where the companies have the profits to keep said employees off taxpayer funded welfare.

Sure if the profits aren’t there I understand, it’s probably better the employees eat, keep their jobs and the company stays in business...but when the profits are there?
Superhuman is a great alternative.
Thanks. I'm a bit surprised considering how popular it was, and the tech sites have been leaking hints of an SE 2 all year.

Leaves nothing in the range that's appealing.
Are you referring to the bulldozer effect of English against other major languages?

If so, I'd say that English and Occitan (for example) are not in the same league, therefore not competitors. For example, no school pupil will choose to do part of his schooling in Occitan unless he lives in that region and even then it doesn't really replace a 'real' foreign language -- you need to learn one of those anyway. (Right?) But in Europe, when one decides between English and another major European language, the easiest answer is not always the best answer. And the easy answer demonstrates the bulldozer effect of English.

(I'm not a fan of English BTW. I use it when it's useful to me, like any other. Others have proven themselves far more useful to me at times. Just not when I read Hacker News!)

I don't typically need one myself, but I'm a software dev who lives close enough to downtown bike into work or take a 20 minute bus ride.

But this is a huge exception to what the rest of my life was like. If I lived in the burbs it would be very difficult to manage without a car.

Why would you think it's not? What point are you trying to make? as it seems obviously a 'meaningful interaction' to communicate with someone. (disclosure: I don't have a mobile phone, have never sent a text)
Tesla: Deloreane circa 2010s
I always thought about this in terms of individual conversational coefficients. Each separate conversation consumes a total conversational coefficient of 1.0 from all sources. Go above 1.0, and some people don't get to have their say. Go below 1.0, and there may be uncomfortable lulls.

Each person has a range of conversational contributions that they may feel comfortable with. A good university lecturer, radio show host, or stand-up comedian, for instance, might be able to sustain a maximum of 1.0 all alone for hours at a time. Someone with an inflated ego might not feel comfortable dipping below 0.5 for any length of time, whereas an introvert might range between 0.0 (pure listener) and a peak value they cannot sustain for long outside of a narrow range of topics.

So establishing the most efficient number of conversations, and their participants, becomes a form of the backpack problem. A conversation group can only achieve its highest efficiency of some people aim to fulfill different roles. Some participants are bulky and heavy, some are spongy and flexible, and others are small and light.

There's the baseline talker. This is likely the person with the highest sustainable coefficient. They drive the conversation. Then there are responders, who need to have a wide, tunable range of coefficient. They top off the conversation to 1.0 by adjusting their output to an appropriate value. There may be interjectors, who pipe up with a witty quip or relevant factoid every now and then, aiming for high return on low coefficient. There may also be swappers, who participate at a low level in multiple conversations, flipping to whichever one seems to have a lower coefficient, but less able to sustain higher coefficients than a responder. Sometimes there is even a gestural participant, who mainly contributes to the conversation with non-competing visuals rather than interruptable speech.

So having a single conversation with more than six people is easy. You kick out the baseline talker, get two responders to drive the conversation instead, and fill up the rest of the group with interjectors. This happens all the time in tabletop gaming groups, where the game itself adds a baseline coefficient, and the typical participant has a low maximum sustainable coefficient. Some people just don't want to talk much, and the game can create a structured conversation that pulls lower-coefficient players up enough to make the group reach 1.0 .
We live in a completely different power structure
now from 20 years ago.

The US has always imported <10% of its oil/gas (if you don't count Canadian sources). There has never been a large scale dependence on foreign oil. Most of this was conservative propaganda from the Bush Administration to help justify the war in Iraq.

That being said OPEC had some control over the price that oil was traded at, but never the volumes.
Just of curiosity, what OS do you run? Why do you build everything from source?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is basically a liquidation sale, meaning the assets get sold to the highest bidder. It is possible that the chargers could get sold, in which case they would remain in service (or in existence, i.e., as collectibles). But they would only get destroyed if they aren't sold.
As cheerleading censorship seems to be in vogue (eg that image macro of the top response), let me put forth a suggestion to ban anybody who wasn't on the Internet by say 2005. I think it would be extremely effective at solving most of the problems we're facing today.
No, I'm saying that just because people "willingly entered into a contract" doesn't mean that it is beneficial to society to allow them to do so. Some contracts should not be allowed.

If this is already compatible with what you were saying, apologies.
What does SoC stand for?
Without access to contraceptives and sex education, it is impossible for women to make a decision about whether or not to have a kid. They can only choose whether or not to have sex; pregnancy just sometimes happens if they do. Good luck getting a 16 year old (any 16 year old) to make good decisions about sex.

By sarcastically pretending that this 16-year-old made an affirmative choice to become a parent, the parent is actually trying to shame her for having sex as a teenager.

This goes directly to the heart of the article's point. Rather than confront a system that places some people at a disadvantage (lack of access to birth control or childcare), it's easier to insinuate that a person's hard life is solely the result of their own bad decisions.
Does anyone notify you of upcoming removals? We've maybe purchased hundreds of movies over the years and we'd never know something was removed.

Yes, they do. It's one of the reasons you can buy a "new" hard drive that already has several years use on it.
Finance people don't change jobs that frequently. They usually spend years at gigs before leaving.

It is especially unusual for finance executives to leave so shortly after joining a new company. Barring serious family issues, it generally indicates serious financial problems at the new employer.
Tesla is the most shorted stock in history and "News" has nothing to do with facts or events, it's purely entertainment and perception management. When someone wants you to believe a certain point of view, the "news" will make it so.
This is BS.

Ballmer was a worst thing that could happen to any company of a Microsoft scale.

Under his guidance Microsoft stock stalled in a trading range for more than a decade, he was always late to any big game and had that "me too!" laggard strategy for the biggest innovations (cloud, search, mobile) thinking he can buy his way ahead to compensate for the lack of vision and boneheadedness.

It was funny watching MSFT stock to suddenly pop up 8-10% at a slightest rumor of Bill Gates returning.

Tim Cook is nothing like that. He may not be Steve Jobs, but he is not screwing AAPL either.
I remember reading this in 2016 during 'peak skepticism' on whether or not Tim Cook could ever fill the shoes of Steve Jobs and the author, Steve Blank, makes a lot of really good points (mostly how you can see Ballmer as an excellent CEO if you set the metrics to do so).

It reminded me once again of how what you believe gives color to the narrative you're trying to communicate. More importantly, what the reader believes also colors the narrative and sometimes it wasn't exactly what the author intended.

I resonate strongly with the notion that there are good times and 'late' times to innovate. I also agree strongly that it takes someone who is taking a wider and longer view of the situation to be good a calling the shots on that. But it is also quite important to be able to turn those opportunities into products and learn from that effort to really ride the 'change' (what ever it is) into a leadership and profitable position.

When I read this in 2016 I was not convinced that "AI" was the big innovation it was being hyped to be, however since that time I've come to a different conclusion. While I still think "AI" is hype, I see the ability to use machine learning algorithms to take the digital exhaust of a system and post process it into an algorithm for anticipating the outputs of that process to be quite powerful, and is having an impact on a lot of systems today.

I see the work that Apple has done to improve the efficiency of the A12X SoC, which was announced today, for executing algorithms based on machine learning to be pretty innovative.

In 2016 machine learning was still 'party trick' status as far as I was concerned but here in 2018 it is looking more and more like 'core thing all computer systems will do'.

As a result I'm willing to give Tim Cook more innovator points than Steve Blank was willing to do back in 2016.

In 50 years their code will be cracked or the root keys leaked (especially during a bankruptcy meltdown). Of course that’s not something to count on, but history is a proven record that opsec failures will produce the opportunities for “liberation”
If the states were supposed to be doing that, then they've already failed miserably at their duty.

As for what I stand to gain, I'd say it's an end to the race to the bottom that I pointed out in my initial comment. No more would there be banks running to whichever state is willing to gut it's consumer protection laws. What good is it being in a state that respects consumers if the credit card companies are going to set up in South Dakota or Delaware and impose those rules on me?
"This creates a tremendous market incentive for purely electric vehicles."

Can confirm. I bought a used Nissan Leaf two months ago from a dealer (being used it was a small fraction of the $25k Ford). A near-identical car (trim/mileage/colour) is now listed on their site for close to 30% more than I paid.

If we were living in normal times this would make no sense - but the TCO picture is changing that rapidly (owing to oil prices going up and used EVs being so scarce).
The Model 3 has only been produced in significant numbers for a few months now. The oldest production unit that exists at all is barely over a year old. This isn’t the sort of situation where you find a bargain on used cars. Give it a few years and there will be a more reasonable used market.
Fracking is actually far more resilient to market swings than traditional oil fields/wells. If prices for crude/natural gas drop, you just shutdown the well. Spinning it back up is far faster and cheaper than normal wells.
I was referring to the failure of whatever mechanism would be used to cancel an alert that appears post-fall.

Sure. It all depends on the geology of the particular oilfield the well is tapping, and how much money the well owner is willing to invest in increasing production. Similarly, there are vertical wells that have been fractured.

I don’t have the knowledge to get any more detailed, unfortunately — This is all secondhand from some oil industry software engineers.
That is the most significant comment here. People keep going on about land when the real problem is housing. US housing density is awfully low. Our country's major population expansion took place after the car and our model of building cities went horizontal rather than vertical.

Hell, so do I; I absolutely hate learning new package ecosystems & infrastructure (but I absolutely do not have interest in learning a language without a decent package infrastructure). Probably a bigger blocker for me than learning the language itself!

But it's not clear to me that this "challenge" is intended to say that array operations are easy, for a newcomer to the language. As I understood it, it's an argument for Julia being better in the long run, for the code that requires "developer effort, performance and extensibility"; that is, elements of the language beyond the first few days of using it, for packages larger than what would be written by "amateur programmers"

If depicting usage for the amateur was the main point of the article, it totally went over my head
Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing. We use several different services for managing fraud, and one of them flagged your IP. Not sure why since everything else looks fine, so we reviewed and approved your order.

> I do not see a viable electric vehicle for me. Tesla looks awesome, and I cannot find an affordable one near me. Hell, there are TWO (count 'em, 2) used Model-3's within 20 miles of me, and they're selling for $50,000.

I think this year is a watershed along those lines. My guess is you will start seeing used hybrids shortly (within 3 years) at reasonable prices.

Quite a few "hybrid" cars in California are losing their ability to use the carpool lanes because there are so many of them. You now have to be able to do something like 40-50 miles on battery or you don't qualify anymore.

In addition, I think GM has moved out of the first tier of federal rebates on their electric/hybrid cars because they've sold so many of them.

You probably won't find used Teslas, but I bet you will start finding used Volts/Bolts.

From my point of view, the biggest issue I have is that while my internal combustion engine car is 25 years old, I haven't been able to keep a hybrid for more than 5 years because the technology is still evolving so quickly.
You are right but the Democrats would never do it either.

Show HN: Shamir Secret Sharing in Java 11+
I think the problem is that there are two types of people that use phones, those that think of a phone as a mini-computer, and those that think of a computer as a very large phone.

Many of us on HN are probably in the first group. I look at my phone as a portable computer that's a big compromise for portability; as soon as I am within range of an actual PC, I will switch to using that. (Example, my phone is great for checking when the train is going to arrive. But before I leave for the station, I've already checked the schedule on my computer.)

That usage pattern probably places us in the minority. Many people are using their phone to do things that they can't do on a computer; Snapchat, Instagram, games, etc. Those simply don't run on computers. But they suffer from the same ergonomics complaints that we do, so they make a good market for computer-shaped phones. And that is what Apple is releasing today.

Tesla built one. They gave up on it because almost nobody used it. The problem with charging time on long trips is somewhat exaggerated. It does add a bit more time, but it’s not much if you're taking breaks the way you ought to anyway.
