Until they can provide some data that say the 50 million number is a fact, I don't believe it's that low. Every breach starts out on the low end, and miraculously ends up being double or triple as they do "more research" and the initial anger dies down.
Not sure if this was meant as a joke or not. I can certainly believe clueless HR doing that.
To twist the metaphor slightly, it's technical inflation.

Lovely to see Fever API emulation. I wrote my own for Selfoss. My current reader, Nextcloud News, doesn't implement it. I'm tempted to write one so I can use Reeder again when I'm on a Mac.
Honestly, Google should have seen it coming. They are literally dangling themselves out in front of the GOP, not that they don't deserve it. Building a mass surveillance system as described sucks for civil liberties anywhere. However, if they go after Google, they better go after the NSA's mass surveillance setup as it's not much different.
I had a priced round done (at startup rates, admittedly) by Orrick for a few thousand pounds Sterling – I forget the exact amount, but it was well under £5k – back in '09. They knew it was a loss-leader – lawyers want to build long-term relationships too.

Where would they get that data? Users are given no way to voice negative feedback.

If most users are like most non-techies I know, I assure you, they do care. There's just nothing they can do, beyond telling first couple people they encounter that they hate the new UI, and carrying on with their lives. Because what are they going to do? Move 10 years of their e-mail history to Microsoft and IM/phone 500 people about their new address?

This is, by the way, my fully generic response to "the market shows users like web bloat". No, they don't. They just don't have a choice but to accept it.
Same. I’m actually at google but I’m not going to tell the gmail team about this post because

1. I don’t agree with it, and

2. Gmail team is already painfully aware that any given change will be unappealing to a subset of users.

3. They are probably already here, taking note, considering.

Unfortunately we can’t all have a custom UI written exactly to our specifications. Gmail team has to try to do what they think is best for most users. For the rest, there are various gmail UI tweak extensions for Chrome and Firefox, or you can write your own userscript or use an IMAP client.
Yeah, I don't think this breaks any of the rules. We are still using recursion. Just leveraging what the language has to offer.
Sure, no doubt today's founders are much better equipped for success no arguing that.

I guess I meant just from a pure experience perspective.

It is very slow, especially on any lighter devices like small laptops. All the JS seems to be rather heavy for no real new features or benefits.
As CockroachDB matures these kinds of things will slowly get added.

But sqlfmt doesn't (currently) have a goal to format all SQL, just cockroach SQL.
Second most of that.

I used to be really passionate about C++ back in the days, but it's just too damn complex. Yes, some new features really help; if I could bring one to a desert island it would be lambdas. Tuning C++ these days is mostly trial and error for me, there are so many gotchas to keep in mind that it's more or less impossible to juggle it all mentally.

From my experience there comes a point where the required effort tips the scales towards more convenient languages for most projects. But by the time you realize you're usually up to your neck in template goo that no one wants to translate.

GMail one day decided to no longer show my emails from my customers in my Inbox -- I have to search for them one-by-one. So every few hours I have to search for keywords.

I also get gmail from another account, and he gets mine.

At least it is not as bad as Skype. Woke up one day a week ago, hit Upgrade, and now Skype doesn't work -- whatsoever.
Nothing I can do.

Essentially if I didn't have experience as a level 3 support engineer, I'd be out of business.
For ICE vehicles perhaps, not for EVs, or we'd see more than a token manufacturing capacity from them.

How many times did they manufacture 200k Volts or i3 EVs? Where is their serious battery production? Anything even 1/2 as big as the current gigafactory (which is about 30% finished and is still the aggregate battery capacity of almost every battery factory in the world in 2016).
All your comments have at least two things in common.

1. A seemingly willful disreguard for the facts. 2. Another striking commonality that I can't aledge but a trip through your comments will bear out. The topic always seems to be common. The timing of the account creation is of course purely circumstantial. Draw your own conclusions, but to say that you are constructively adding to discussion would be a reach.
> In 2007, if you had a B2B startup, you had to reach out cold to potential customers. Now there are over 1000 YC companies you can sell your service to and all of their contact information is in Bookface. As a result, YC alumni companies are often over 50% of your new sales during YC.

This alone would be an interesting angle if you consider the equity given to YC purely marketing and sales spend.
I have mine, having taken delivery at the end of August and it was ordered at the beginning of the same. Not a previous owner and did not reserve. Recently completed a 1600+ mile round trip with it.

As a car it is very competent, fun to drive, and well designed inside and out. As an EV, Tesla cars are in a league of their own. Build quality was very good, I do have three areas that are not as tight as I want but I will take it to the local service shop and let them tell me my options.

Are EVs ready for prime time? If your primary usage is local then yes. Even on our trip we needed three stops and the time charging plus to and from added over two hours each way. That can take a "tolerable" nine hour drive and push it into "well....". Plus the planning required to insure adequate range at your destination where you might be anchored to the nearest SC. (120v is desperation, 240/20a is minimum realistic and that is still but 12/15 miles ranged added per hour!)

While they will continue to add features over the life time of the car it does lack some simple quality of life attributes that I have had in cars more than a decade ago. From the mundane as to real bluetooth audio controls with playlist support and maximum audio startup to the required blind spot monitoring which apparently they will never put in the mirrors where it needs to be. Traffic aware cruise control works very well, auto steer at my current software level is good for 95% of the highway travel we had. Though cruise control's default speed is the posted limit and that can be damn annoying when that is lowered by weather or even construction - you cannot stop it - it will only assume your current speed if lower than what the maps say if there is a car in front of you or your going faster.

Still great news to hear, I like mine. Was a great step up from the Chevy Volt which sold me on EV driving. It isn't for everyone but give it ten years and it might be the default choice.
Just added a comment reg.that.
Why is this an acceptable excuse? I feel like a lot of the reason modern technology is in such a sorry state is due to this attitude.

"Cumulative passenger EV sales are set to hit 4 million this week. This includes battery electric passenger vehicles and plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles. If we include e-buses, the 4 million milestone was reached at the beginning of July. The time needed to reach each consecutive million EVs sold has shrunk from 17 months for the second million to 6 months for the fourth million. The next million EVs will take just over 6 months. We expect the five-millionth EV to be sold in March 2019."

I won't quote the entire article here, but it's worth a few minutes of time. The EV sales rate is climbing rapidly; not exponentially, but much faster than linearly.

What's worse, every other web shop will be copying this yet another Google UX "innovation" in short order. I'd say Google is in no smart part responsible for the website bloat and general degradation of UX, just by setting example.

The gmail product forums, monitoring sites like reddit, HN, and Twitter, focus groups and UX studies, internal dogfooders and trusted external testers, metrics from experimental or holdback groups, etc.
No need for Webmaster tools to get indexed. Share it on G+ or any webpage which is indexed in Google your site will get indexed pretty soon.
Tangential, but does anybody here have a email app recommendation for Linux? Something that can replace browsing Gmail on a browser?
That video, and articles on the teardown, confirm that the luxury-level-priced Model 3s are solidly profitable...which they should be, since no major automaker sells luxury vehicles at a loss per unit.

The question is whether Tesla can sell Model 3s at the originally claimed $35k, which is highly questionable. Indeed, Munro himself sells, "I think $36,000 Model 3s will be rare as hen's teeth. I don't see how they could make money at $36,000."
I'm not so sure I follow this argument, one could say the Earth itself is only critical infrastructure because it "exists". So therefore if we destroy the Earth, it wasn't actually "critical" infrastructure, even though any associated infrastructure on the Earth went along with it. Maybe the distinction needs a little more fleshing out.
So your claim is you could not create the same user experience in any language that is jitted or compiled?

I can't really take that seriously.
Agreed so much, don't Google engineers have this same issue switching between work and personal e-mail or is Gmail not used internally?

GitLab: Why Prometheus is for everyone
That's great... but the thread I'm replying to starts by claiming Tesla can make a 2% impact by selling 50k cars for 10 quarters (absolutely false). And the target is not 500k cars over 10 quarters.. it must be an order of magnitude higher than that to make the claimed impact.

Even the article doesn't project the industry (not just Tesla) will reach these numbers in 10 quarters. Close to double that.
What other platforms have you updated that was a lot easier?
And sort by sender.
Soon after Google made their Pacman doodle, we've had an article tallying up people-hours world-wide wasted by that little game. The article was in jest (AFAIR), but I wonder, how many people-hours worldwide this UI update will be wasting on a daily basis, by the virtue of being even slower than the last update.
I've seen quite a few attempts to measure productivity differences between different languages and there is not a consistent win being shown by dynamic languages in general. Perhaps ruby on rails is especially productive for the web, and maybe especially so when github.com launched, but there are lots of options now with similar productivity and 1 or 2 orders of magnitude better performance.
Oh, probably, but leverage for what? Nobody can agree on things to ask for which the EU haven't already explicitly ruled out.
It's statically typed with opt-in dynamic (which is opt-out implicit). Sans the implicit opt-out, this is identical to C#.
I am finding it very hard to comment on this without violating HN guidelines and throwing ad-hominens. But I will try.

You see, the parent poster said:

> They got pushed to check-in code at 12a.m. for example.

This is ENTIRELY different than having you, overly excited about some project, deciding to work late and pushing code at 12am of your own accord. That's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Now, if you are EXPECTED to do it, outside major emergencies, then you have a problem.
Scylla Ai – Neural Network That Searches for Armed People in a Crowd
When you say heavily regulated it has nothing to do with their potential use as weapons. The stated intent of the "kill switch" was for that purpose. The fact that the kill switch can't generally be used until after an attack is over, and that 2 way radios can be easily be used as a substitute means that it's not particular effective--there were likely ulterior motives for pushing for this ability.

The 2013 shutdown of the BART network during protests shows that the government is at least as interested in suppressing protests are they are in stopping bombs from detonating.

Either way the ability for the government to shutdown cell towers is irrelevant. Cell phones themselves aren't "regulated like weapons". I don't need to pass a background check to buy one. I don't need to be licensed to own one. We don't require owners to prove they have a legitimate need to own them, and we don't require owners to lock them up and report thefts the way we do with explosives.

The reason we don't do these things is that the cost actually implementing all of that wouldn't be worth the benefit. You'd have to implement restrictions on anything with a radio, or anything that could be easily turned into a radio to have any meaningful impact on terrorism.

The same is true of drones. You'd need to tightly restrict so many electronic components to actually deter determined attackers that it's not worth it.

It's an interesting problem. The point of insurance is to pool risk -- if "healthy" people have their own pool, the pool will need to pay out less, and therefore be cheaper.

But this has its inverse: the "normal" pool now becomes the "not healthy" pool. It'll have to pay out more, therefore cost more.

If life insurance was mandatory for whatever reason, this would be a no-brainer. But assuming that health/life insurance is optional, do "healthy" people have an obligation to subsidize "not healthy" people's risk pools?
I agree that the integration of domain programming and database programming/querying in FoxPro/xBase created a smoother CRUD-app shorthand that current tools can't match. Less converting of sh8t between the layers (and less need for layers). The newest generation must like to type and read a lot of code, I guess. Or, it's a conspiracy from Carpel Tunnel and eye doctors to get more revenue.

The compatibility of web UIs with the touch events accidentally resulted with clean, stable, simple UIs. Apparently Google branched out the web and all these mouse over effects give me epilepsy. Mouse over menu on table/list row? I thought we went through this already.
A few thoughts and observations:

1) I was logged out randomly of messenger on my iPhone for the first time ever, i think a week ago. Like messenger completely reset for no reason, and i had to put in my cellphone number again. I don't know if this has to do with the breach. Also i received several snapchat 2-factor codes without requesting them on my cellphone.

2) If the message history has leaked it will absolutely unimaginable consequences for many people, myself included. Nothing incriminating but enough to make me paranoid and make loads of people shameful, loose their partners, loose their friends, loose their employment, have their reputation tainted forever. It's absolutely insane if it shows up in an indexed fashion somewhere. Black mirror is becoming real.

3) For the first time i am actually thinking about seriously migrating from "all corporate services" - and only searching through TOR through VPN on duckduckgo if i have to search for something personal.

4) I will probably forget all about migrating to privacy oriented services in a few days.

5) Living these days can make me slightly paranoid, a new feeling i guess, that has not been experienced by most humans before. The feeling of being watched constantly, of being potentially revealed in some vague fashion. A strange and unhealthy feeling for sure, no matter how banal your life probably is to the rest of the world. Now everyone knows how it is to live in eastern germany under STASI, or like in Iraq or Syria before the breakdowns, - just potentially worse if these leaks get real.

I think "privacy" is a basic human necessity right at the bottom of the Maslow pyramid even though a common trope in pop culture is that privacy is a new phenomenon.

I think that is utterly wrong, a tribe back in the days was like an organism, an extension of the self, that also required privacy from other tribes.

Regardless of who requires it, right from the earliest, animals and humans have been hiding them selves both from predators and from their prey. Later the mammalian brain extended this need for privacy as a basic necessity in the interaction in basic civilisation, from politics, to civic life, in family life and in war. It's all a game of showing and telling.

This vague fuzzy paranoid panopticon feeling is devastating.

6) In a few years neural nets will trawl the net and run stylometric analysis - everyone will be ranked and have complete psychological profiles created, all their whereabouts will be mapped completely by inference, you will know everything everyone has done for the last 20 years in complete detail including their desires and emotions. Lol

We make heavy use of Prometheus and Grafana at my company. We're increasingly relying on them more and more.

I found this to be interesting insight into how a bigger organization uses these tools. In particular I liked how they show their Grafana dashboards, which I can compare and contrast to our own dashboards.
Tesla's manufacturing woes are not with assembly of the EV components... it's with the build quality, speed and precision of assembling everything else, plus worker safety and required on-clock hours. This has been discussed here many times.

It reminds me of Chipotle famously scoffing at McDonald's attempt to teach supply chain management and more... and then Chipotle routinely having shortages of food items, quality and consistency issues, or suffering from nation-wide food-safety outbreaks. Turns out they could have leaned a thing or two...

Yeah, this seems unnecessarily confusing to me. It's an internal project, so it's not like the name matters for advertising or anything.

> The quest to stop "money laundering" is totalitarian in nature.

The point is to raise the risk/cost of money laundering and to minimize its occurrence, otherwise financial fraud becomes culturally normalized, and not something people avoid. For that, anti-money laundering agencies must pay attention to large transfers between anonymized business entities. That's very different than total-awareness of every individual's financial holdings and small transactions.

> by negating the fungibility of money, undermines its usefulness

Reducing the fungibility (i.e. by increasing the reporting and oversight requirements) of large transfers of money doesn't undermine its usefulness for anything other than money laundering. Most transactions of life fall well below the 10k reporting limit, and those that are above (i.e. purchasing a car) tend to be on-the-record.
Oil is not typically a major resource, but in cold winters in gas pipeline-constrained areas, i.e., New York and New England, there is quite a bit of oil generation. Even in high load summer days when gas is available but the load is much higher than the winter you'll see a bunch of oil units turn on.

Oil-fired and dual-fuel units in those RTOs (NYISO and ISO-NE) also make up a pretty large amount of the total installed capacity.
