It'll be worse for the next couple years as they ramp up, but I expect with Urban Superchargers coming in more places things will get better. It's even worse right now if you have a non-Tesla EV and rely on the 1-2 DCFC stations in some random mall and can't count on them being working or not filled. I really think the problem will be significantly worse for non-Tesla cars until another manufacturer-- or maybe an investor in EVGo or ChargePoint or some charging company-- invests hundreds of millions into building out new stations with large numbers of chargers, and maintains them.
They could just sell their 1% and get cash.
Porsche said they will "plan to" install 500 DCFC chargers at... Porsche dealers.
"Unable to fill" for skilled graduate labor, not all labor. Key difference.
Google is building surveillance and personal information harvesting systems designed to minimise individual privacy and maximise government control. It’s unavoidable because Google’s systems are based on the fundamental principle of gathering and analysing as much information about people and their behaviour as possible.

Apple have bent over backwards to ensure they themselves, and anyone in their data centres, have as little personal information about their customers as possible. FaceID and TouchID don’t Store face scans, only secure hashes of the data and only in an inaccessible local data store. AI analysis of most user data and activities is done locally on the device, pulling down reference data from the cloud as necessary rather than pushing the user data up. User activity data is protected by powerful new anonymising techniques. User personal data that is stored centrally e.g. for syncing, is encrypted end to end wherever possible so it’s only accessible to the user.

I’m not saying they store no unencrypted user data centrally or know nothing about user activities, but they have gone to crazily extreme lengths to avoid it. When law enforcement has gone to Apple with warrants to get user data or open up user phones, Apple has often been able to honestly say it has squat.

A lot of people here know all this and are just taking it into account, that’s all.

>electric charging will become a commodity

Alas, I would have thought the same for ISPs. Any reason why EV charging won't naturally evolve into a similar overpriced, regulator capturing, locale-by-locale monopoly?

I'm talking about the subset of the EV owners without home charging. Currently this number is small, but as battery prices drop and EVs become the de-facto 'regular car,' there's ~60% of the population who have no "at-cost" home charging (being locked-in to whatever exclusive vendor their apartment complex chooses).

In this respect EVs are very different from gasoline vehicles, and I say this as a big supporter of EVs. I can drive across town to buy gas, but I can't park my car across town overnight.

The problem with competing firms is that eventually someone wins.
Your website is an example of what good web design should look like. It's fast, clean, doesn't load extraneous crap and almost all of it works without JavaScript (which I block by default). Most "Show HN" posts I open and close immediately when I see (or, often enough, don't see anything at all) their website. Instead, you have a new trial subscriber.
Ask HN: How long did it take to build the first public release of your product?
Funny enough, that's the one current huge investment outside of Tesla in charging infrastructure. If it takes a car company cheating on emissions and being forced to invest in electric, then all of them are going to be doomed to playing catch up.

I can definitely see where you are coming from there. The more that I think about it, I would be just as annoyed if this were coming from a major news publication.

But I see his blog as one dude's opinion, who just happens to also be a good writer. Its hard for me to blame such a person for clickbait when I can't really see how they would even derive significant personal benefit from such clickbait.

As to your comment about the Daewoo engine diagnostics module, I've never used that one specifically, but you might be surprised at how easy some engine diagnostic tools are to get started with. And also how powerful they are if used really well, and how frustrating (and incorrect) they are if used for marginally more advanced things without a basic level of knowledge. The analogy worked pretty well for me.
I was just spitballing, I'm not committing to any hard and fast rule here. Someone referred to you with the wrong gender because they mistook you for a girl, and probably appreciated the correction.

This is way different than the transgender case in that no deep-seated & conflicting beliefs came into play. Language is deep-seated, syntax more than names. Beliefs about gender are also obviously deep-seated.

I would say that I'm undecided on transgender issues, so mostly my position is that you shouldn't assume that skepticism is equivalent to bigotry.
The brain is analogous to an analog analogue of digital computing?
Conceptually, gRPC gives much more server predictability at the expense of client flexibility whereas GraphQL optimizes for the opposite. Sure you can have gRPC calls with lots of client options or GraphQL servers with lots of restrictions. There are security/performance concerns around client flexibility and time-to-market concerns around server-side rigidity. I prefer the latter in most cases and don't expose GraphQL on the public web (again, I know GraphQL can be secured and made more predictable/inflexible).
I like the idea of DB as a managed service but in effect this surely means that 3rd party has access to the data?

Facebook removes 8.7m child nudity images in three months
That's a great question. Model 3 owners pay to use superchargers where S/X owners typically do not. That said, it's not prohibitively expensive (26c/kWh in CA where it cost me 16c/kWh to home charge, off-peak only, in tier 1 (tip: I'm not in tier 1!)

Because it's not prohibitively expensive, Model 3 owners will use them fairly regularly, but not to replace home charging in a way an S/X owner might. For the most part.

Right before our 3 arrived new superchargers went in within 5mi from my house; 1 in East Palo Alto and 1 in San Carlos. They're virtually everywhere around the bay area now, so they've been pretty good at quick rollout of urban superchargers, and it FEELS LIKE they can keep up with demand, here at least. When I check on the map they're busy but never full.
That's a ... highly rose-colored ... definition of what the issue was.

And if it was such a good, but misunderstood feature, why wasn't it touted as such in the first place, but denied initially, and then only acknowledged apologetically with the removal of such?
My recollection is Peopleware lists as an anecdote a Coding War Games study (not alot of data is in the book) where they pit team against team in different work environments, the study is about 30 years old at this point and as far as I know, no one has bothered to either recreate or disprove it. It showed a clear winner in terms of work environments (which was written by one of the book authors so it agreed with the general sentiments of the book.)

> .proto offers me little over a decent development environment around JSON

If your development environment includes Swagger, programmatically generated HTTP clients and servers in multiple languages, built-in intelligent error handling, client-side and server-side type-checking of API requests and responses, gzipping your JSON over the wire, and if you exclusively write in languages like Python and JavaScript where protobuf doesn't serialize and deserialize any faster than JSON, then your development environment is honestly rather exceptional.

Such is academia, I guess. It’s more important to get “prestige” than to properly cite someone else’s work-where it was published should not matter.
Superchargers only work with Teslas due to some signaling and they aren't free for all Teslas. You can get an adapter that goes from a Tesla connector to J1772 but it won't work at a Supercharger, just home or destination chargers.

That is correct. Storage by definition is persistent memory. But, BUT, the storage is in a format which is easily auditable to the end-user or virus-checker program. You can reformat/reinstall and start over. Show me how that's possible with undocumented storage (e.g., EEPROM, CMOS, FLASH, microcode updates, on-CPU storage, etc.) Once you've got undocumented persistent writable memory holes, neither end-user nor virus-checker can audit them. You're basically at the mercy of the code written by the vendor, or whoever figures out how to shove unwanted stuff there. Also, you can write protect your cassettes and floppies, and be fairly certain that your wishes will be respected. Can you do that with undocumented persistent memory locations in your Chipset/Motherboard/CPU/PC? Do you even KNOW about undocumented persistent memory locations in your Chipset/Motherboard/CPU/PC? And... are you sure? How sure? You see how far the rabbit hole goes?

They do, but no one wants to go to one of the few Nissan dealers in their area to charge their car in the event they need it. Not to mention, many dealers only have 1-2 chargers total, which is not sustainable for the number of cars that are (or will be) sold.

Plus, what about the Bolt, Volt, i3, Soul EV, or any number of other EVs? They wouldn't be comfortable or possibly even welcome at a Nissan dealership to charge.
GDPR does not have specific exemptions for fraud. It is often possible to process personal data for anti fraud purposes but it requires a full legal assessment in the same way as any other processing activity would.
Your history got me interested so I looked it up on Wikipedia. Based on the info there, POSTGRES or Post-Ingres was a new project that he started after Ingres, and based on its concepts, but not using the Ingres code. PostgreSQL is based on the POSTGRES code which was licensed BSD from the outset.
I LOVE cooking, there is no way to express how much I love it. But strangely this love also has the implication that I hate when I need to cook fast. Sometimes I hang out a lot in the gym or work and come home around 9-10pm. At that point cooking for an hour is not option as it's almost bed time, so I cook fast. I hate this, and I just want ready food (but I never eat out as a principle).

I searched into this, tried to find startups that can automate my food. I'd be willing to pay a lot of money if a robot made my food exactly the way I want it, and then I can cook long meals 3 to 5 times a week. But unfortunately, the only relevant products are liquid food. There are some startups, such as Soylent, who claim their product has complete nutritional value. So you just shake their powder in water and be done with dinner in 2 minutes. I personally thought this is a distraction from the problem, but I honestly don't know how could we automate food.
Sorry, got confused.

I don't know. Sometimes things are more painless than expected, but there are also times where things get more complicated than you'd ever anticipate. Anecdotally, I recently replaced my Windows 10 system SSD, but between a faulty USB drive, Windows 10 fast boot not taking kindly to having partitions changed underneath it, and missing the BIOS at an inopportune moment, the process (best-case estimate of "10 minutes to clone the disk") took over 5 hours.
I like the idea of the shared bot, but the gotcha is that my neighbors and I likely all want the cleaning to happen when we're at work, children are school, etc. Spreading the times equitably means everyone having to put up with it whirring and bashing around in the middle of the night once a week...
> “It's popular because it worked at successful companies.”

Is there evidence of this? I’ve only ever heard of cases where companies succeeded in spite of the open plan office, meanwhile you’ve got a place like Stack Overflow that is succeeding even when footing the bill for private offices in Manhattan. Nobody’s copying them...

I think you have to enter the reality of executive status-seeking, cargo-cult copying, narcissistic corporate vanity and opulence, and other sociological problems to begin to understand open-plan offices.
The ability of Facebook as an engineering organization to align with their business incentives has increased over time. The Cambridge Analytica data hoovering happened in 2014-2015.
To be fair, you said "There’s not really a principled way of doing this" but you were referring to cleaning up the data, not the analysis itself. My bad.

That said, you started with the following prior: Simpson ratings went down over time. Then you looked at 1 variable: The writing staff. You noticed: Aha, if we assign each writer a rating, then we see that later writers have lower ratings than writers that only worked on early episodes!

However that's a tautology. Of course the writers that worked on later episodes have lower scores than those that worked on earlier episodes. The fact the ratings went down over time was the prior we started with! This is the natural result of taking averages. The experimental setup was wrong from the beginning.

As for why I think you would want to do proper statistics, the reason is simple: I assume that people who publish these things are well intentioned, and they want to show off actual statistical correlations.

Yeah, I worked for a while for an electronics component manufacturer that had a monthly hockey stick production schedule. For the first half of the month, I came in to work to wipe down my desk and bullshit with my coworkers. For the last week of every month, it was all-hands plus overtime. If the last day of the month happened to be a Monday, the production manager would try really hard to talk you into coming in for the weekend.

It was absurd. Sensible people hated that place, while a lot of other folks just accepted it as normal.

I suspect the conflicting accounts of life at Tesla work out similarly.
Yeah, this really strikes me as a forest for the trees kind of situation. Sometimes it pays to engineer things to death, other times you need to step back and see the whole picture; how important is packaging for efficiency vs cooling vs manufacturing speed, etc.

Automakers putting battery packs in the trunk of their cars are complaining about battery size.

Is anyone complaining the floor on a Tesla is too thick and compromises interior space? Of course not.

The packaging probably DOES add a not-insignificant amount to the total weight of the pack vs an ideal battery of some custom design. But again, you have to weigh (ha!) all of the factors.

Right, there is definitely a longer history of memory corruption vulnerabilities; for instance, there's an old rdist vulnerability that exploits an overflow to overwrite a global variable. What's interesting to me is the initial idea of control flow injection, and how long it took that idea to percolate through to exploit developers.

I was doing software security semi-professionally before the 8lgm Sendmail 8.6.12 vulnerability that set off the modern buffer overflow craze, and worked with a bunch of people frantically reconstructing that exploit (which wasn't published) --- the authors of the first x86 stack overflow vulnerability included my future business partner at Matasano, Dave Goldsmith.

It was light night and day! Before overflows, there was a whole variety of different "kinds" of exploits (you got some command injection with metacharacters, for instance with SunRPC services calling popen and system, but you also got "overwrite a file" or "leak a file" or things like that). Afterwards, it was just: every machine on the Internet had remote code execution via overflows.

It used to be feasible to calibrate an stack exploit for a remote service, for which you didn't even have source, in an hour or two of tinkering. It's crazy to think of how far things have gone since then.
My experience has been fine once I got some good noise canceling headphones, before that I had serious issues concentrating. My main issue is not having long uninterrupted blocks of time to complete projects that require a lot of focus.

> Therefore, even if the inequality in the US would rise, it would take a while before there would be 'no help for Africa' anymore (until it would be politically problematic).

Given the speed of information dispersal, it might become politically problematic quickly, especially once a narrative is established.

However, due to the length of election cycles, it may not be an electoral issue as quickly.
In my city (Bellevue, WA), there's ChargePoint stations operated by the city in free street parking and in the park, so the cost is entirely in the operation of the EV station and electricity. It might not seem bad, but it isn't necessarily competitive with a Supercharger or home charging in terms of cost. Blink is worse, at 39c-49c per kWh, which is about $2.50 per hour at the low end.
Nanotechnology must be the answer, then.
RethinkDB switched away from Protobufs (which underly GRPC) in favor of JSON when talking with both Python and Ruby clients because it was so much slower than using JSON. My guess is that this is still true, and even worse for JavaScript (that last is pure speculation). But I would be happy to see real benchmarks done now.
Even if you publish nothing about yourself, information will leak. Some of your friends will post things about you... for example they have a photo together with you, will upload it to a social network, enter your name, provide a date and place for the photo... with enough photos with your name, the social network can make a guess about which other unnamed photos contain the same person... and gradually a profile on you is being built.

And it will only get worse, as more data will be shared by other people. Soon the streets may be full of people using cameras all day long, just because it allows them to make cooler diaries or blogs, and then the data companies will get universal surveillance.

The only way to keep privacy will be to have your face covered in public (but hey, that will be made illegal, because terrorism or something), or avoid public places completely.
