Taiwan doesn't believe in One China. That notion is intrinsically nonsensical. It's a bunch of people, with different beliefs.
Other brands have dealerships all over the country where they could install chargers. I'd say the barrier to doing that is pretty low.

For example, if every BMW or Audi dealership had some charging spots for owners of their cars, it would probably have more nationwide coverage than Tesla's Supercharger network. The dealerships are also frequently located in convenient places near major highway exits, etc.
I think it was clear even then that the 68k had an upgrade path ahead of it. Beefing up the 6502 would have been an evolutionary dead end, and left Apple with an even more fragmented market share
I have been reading through these and find them really unique in a good way. I got a new perspective on a lot of stuff I already studied I have a Bachelors in CS and graduated 1.5 years ago.

It doesn't feel formal like a textbook and yet doesn't sacrifice on the mathematical rigor. I would be trying out the exercise problems which seem equally daunting but fun.

I also submitted an issue request on Github and Jeff I have a few questions for you that I put on Quora, I have A2A'd you.

Speaking of CalDAV, the only thing I care about is the actual support of the calendar. Every time Thunderbird updates the Calendar “addon” loses compatibility and I'm without a calendar for a couple of weeks. Come to think about it, I don't even remeber for how long I've been without the calendar after the last update.
Fuchsia tries to be language agnostic thanks to FIDL. Dart will be one of many options.
Those birkenstocks look pretty comfortable. Plus maybe they last longer. I suppose they aren't "sexy" , but I suspect the guys have conceded that. I won't knock it until I try it, which is never.
So much great stuff here! Rough around the edges, but it's a research prototype. Thoughts:

- This reminds me of Subtext ... oh, they cited that as an influence! I love it when people learn the state of the art and take previous work and build on it. Surprisingly uncommon.

- Paraphrased: static types are an indirect way to look at a function's behavior, data is a direct way. I never thought of it that way!

- Is that a single quote used as an icon to indicate that it's a string? Neat! (I use icons in Strukt to indicate data types, but I went the other way, and no-icon means string, with a "#" icon indicating a number.)

- This is the second time this week I've seen a system where you could connect nodes by either dragging an edge, or typing a name. Is that the best of both worlds? Are we converging?

- I love that names are optional, and not restricted to C-style identifiers. This is a perfect example of something you can't easily do in plain text: without an out-of-band place to put identifiers, you need to deal with escaping, or character ranges, or ...

That said, while I love the concept, I disagree with them on some basic points. One that wasn't explicitly mentioned:

- It's still a highly-specialized mouse-driven environment, and I'm still not convinced there's any future in those. It makes for a nifty demo, but plain text really took off because everybody has a text editor which can edit any text, and learning to edit one format helps you learn how to edit other formats in the same editor. (Can you tell I'm an Emacs junkie?) What I want is a generic keyboard-driven GUI graph editor. It should be able to be hooked up to live visualizations, via other processes, too. It just needs to be able to edit any kinds of graphs. I don't want my investment in learning this editor to be limited to one specialized type of (mouse-y) programming.

Somebody needs to make a great graph-based editor so all these people experimenting in this space don't need to keep re-inventing the UI wheel. (Note to self: me?)
Maybe more people should rent.
Or the opposite.

You eat bad food, it decreases your intelligence or at least your ability to function effectively (bad digestion, blood sugar spikes, general longer term health issues).

Then you spiral down.

Fresh food isn't expensive. On the contrary; it's extremely cheap compared to the benefits it confers.

It's far better value for money than, say, another 5 sqm on your living quarters.

USB Type-C to Become More Secure with Authentication Standard
Recommendation #1: heat the occupant, not the cabin

Recommendation #2: pre-heat the cabin

Recommendation #3: if/when driving in stop&go traffic, use the regen energy directly for heating to save some charge/discharge cycles.

Recommendation #4: along with #2, use some phase change materials to “charge” some thermal batteries.

#1&2 are a thing. Not sure about 3 and 4.

3 may require some predictive modelling to know if you’ll be driving in stop&go or not.
Splunk | Senior Software Engineer | San Francisco | Full Time | Onsite

I'm hiring full stack engineers for my team at our SF HQ. You'll have the opportunity to have significant impact on newly announced cloud based products. Golang, Python, or C++ highly preferred along with Machine Learning experience -- but we welcome all skills as long as you're motivated and eager. Currently, I'm only looking for senior engineers with a minimum of 4 years of experience. Shoot me an email -- the address is in my profile!
As a pedestrian, I would be happier if cars could only turn right on red.

I have nearly been run over multiple times by some jackass who doesn't look where he's going making a right turn when I have a walk signal.
I don't think that's overly cynical at all. Proprietary chargers has been the norm for years now. Many Dells and HP machines I have owned will accept power from 3rd party chargers, but refuse to charge the battery. Typically the workarounds are either patch it out of the firmware, or steal the authentication chip from a defunct 1st-party charger. Both workarounds are far from ideal. (The former means you can no longer take automated firmware updates, and the latter means modifying a power supply that runs off mains voltage.)

What I'd like to see happen is that a consortium issues certificates that sign capabilities, rather than signing identities. Essentially the charger says "the UL/USB-IF/etc. has certified me up to 18W" as opposed to "Apple built me" which seems to be the logic the industry has been using prior to USB-C.
When someone's account is compromised, is another situation.

P/E ratios aren’t effective for high-growth or quickly-declining companies. The PEG ratio attempts to compensate for this.
For the most part, the things we need to do to prevent the consequences are the exact same things we need to do to prepare for them:

- Build dense, walkable housing with solid bike infrastructure and public transit so that people don't have to emit carbon on a daily basis to get around.

- Move the power grid to renewables, especially distributed renewables like solar and small wind producers, which will be more resilient in the face of natural disasters. Nuclear and hydro are also definitely an important part of the mix, and we should continue to research storage options.

- Areas on the coasts need to start relocating people further inland. Sea walls can temporarily delay the inevitable, but in the US semi-annual Katrinas, Harveys, and Marias are going to make the south eastern and gulf coasts unlivable.

- Likewise, if you live outwest, consider moving back east to the midwest. The fires are only going to get worse, and water is only going to get more scare. The aquifers are going to run dry in a decade or two. The west cannot support anything remotely resembling its current habitation density over the long term.

- Inland cities in the midwest should prepare for mass migrations by overbuilding dense, walkable housing and everything else needed to support it (retail, offices) in compact urban areas. That means urbanizing the downtowns of many midsized cities that are resisting it. And for the older sprawling major cities, they need to incentivize much more compact development and develop public transit systems that can make up the difference.

- Everywhere, we should be relocalizing the food system and looking for ways to move towards a food system based on agro-ecology, that can provide natural habitat and sequester carbon, while also producing food. That mostly means tree crops and silvopasture.

All of these things will _both_ help reduce the consequences and help prepare for them.

If bluster results in the first truly desirable EV cars and the first autonomous reusable rocket then more bluster please. The rage machine against Elon here is preposterous. At the end of the day , is he making the world a better place ?. No amount of contrived answers involving Twitter can change the vehement "Yes" to that question.
The story here in the market is that Tesla has already saturated the big markets in the US for EVs--namely, highly populated metropolitan centers. While this is a big country, the rest of America is very spread out, and the ROI on building more stores will be far lower.
The MIT year one EECS courses are a gem! Going through the MITx version of the _Circuits and Electronics_ course in 2012 actually made me realize that circuits down at the level of NFET and CMOS gates are also abstractions, which I had a fairly hard time grappling with earlier.

Yeh.. but.. each "white dot" is itself rotating as it is moving across....
First of all I’m very happy to see a community-driven Thunderbird that’s still alive and kicking. I used Thunderbird before and I can see myself returning to it.

Now I'm on MacOS and I use MailMate, see: https://freron.com/

I wish Thunderbird would be more like it. It's simple, fast, uses Markdown in its editor, has nice keyboard shortcuts, plays well with Gmail's labels, has smart filters and works well with multiple accounts and aliases.

Seeing some of the comments, I’m surprised to see people putting emphasis on Thunderbird’s calendar or missing CardDav support. Well, MailMate provides no such support.

I.e. for calendars I simply use Apple’s Calendar, for contacts I use Apple’s Contacts. I don’t need my email client to handle these.

That Thunderbird can do it, that’s cool, but I think Thunderbird has problems in handling email that should be fixed first. And I’m glad to see them invest in better Gmail support. I don’t even use Gmail as my personal account, but in this day and age it’s a must and the features (like labels) will prove handy for other email providers too.
PathAI | Boston, MA or Austin, TX | https://pathai.com | Onsite / Remote (US)

PathAI is looking for front- and back-end engineers and engineering managers to help detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

We're working with a modern stack using Python/Django/Flask/DRF, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology.

We're making some major decisions around the direction of the platform, so we're especially excited to bring on tech leads, but early- and mid-career developers who have great software engineering chops can find a great home here as well.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in. We're well-funded with strong revenue, growth, and – most importantly – impact.

Check out our open positions at https://www.pathai.com/careers/.
Your passion for animal-based products is truly impressive! Have a good one!
Bingo! Q3 and Q4 numbers should absolutely be taken with a grain of salt. It was a confluence of all positive points.
a) Accounting
b) Pent up demand for larger priced vehicles
c) Peak Economy

Going forward,
a) Weakened Global Economy
b) Everyone who is passionate about owning Tesla has bought one.

Sustainable demand and profit will be clearer in 2019 Q2 and forward.

I can make a public bet that it wouldn't be greater than $150 Million per quarter
Well I had a backup of sorts, domestic environment, but did lose data (yes I shouldn't have trusted it).

Still haven't managed to debug so can't use Thunderbird properly yet; changing app is a major upheaval after a decade or more [not quite continuous use, tried Kmail, Opera, and a few others like Sylpheed, Mutt(!), in the interim -- after Pine, proprietary apps TB was my first desktop MUA].

So, I need to audition new MUAs (family friendly), then recover what I can.
Transitioning Transit Maps from Tumblr
>No - subway trains can travel 50 mph or more - a bus can’t do that on city centre roads.

If you have really comprehensive coverage in a densely built area you'd be stopping too often for those top speeds to matter.

This is the problem with the Acela. It can technically go up to 150mph, but it has to stop so often that it averages 60mph for the journey.

For longer distances with limited stops, the speed and shigh capacity of a train are good. But to really fill out coverage in a dense area, short wait times and short distances between stops and destinations should be your chief considerations. Buses and streetcars just do that better. Though really, once you get past a certain level of density you need all of the above.
not sure if that was the point or not, but it's wrong. even if you did sign/encrypt, that's not a benefit over a standard cookie. you can easily sign or encrypt a 'standard cookie' as well.

the benefit is the portability that comes from a standardized and widely used data structure.
That is not remotely true.
Why should everyone else pay for the rich to get a tax break and free usage of HOV lanes? They're the ones who can most afford to pay for those things, and the ones most likely to want to buy a vehicle for bragging rights.
Regardless of how you feel about smoking pot the CEO of a publicly traded company is expected to be prudent enough to avoid doing things that are federally illegal on camera with the beforehand knowledge that the footage will be made public.

I personally don't care what Elon, or anyone does in his spare time but smoking pot on TV (or podcast, basically the same thing since both are going to be broadcast to viewers) shows a willingness to take risks with the wrong amount of upsides relative to their downsides and wall street doesn't like that.
