> But, why would they would they choose to sell at a loss when they could beat the competition at twice the price?

Because they promised to cut prices by an order of magnitude. Following a promise like that, you can't just offer a 10-15% price reduction.

Plus, if they offered at twice the current price, I don't believe they would be competitive. Part of the reason they offer a low price is that they have still-new, not-fully-tested technology. Clients accept the increased risk, but they expect significant savings in return.

Also, for certain flight configurations, SpaceX's pricing isn't particularly competitive even at its current level.
Your ideas are correct but not easy to do. Browse the Anonbib and you will see lots of designs being discussed over what is now more than 30 years of research. Yes, Tor favors usability, also since previous attempts at safer systems were never adopted by enough users (Mixmaster, Mixminion).

Already lots of people pick less safe options because "Tor is too slow". If you make it slower, you lose users, and everyone loses anonymity. That's only part of the answer and not the only argument against some of the changes proposed.

I highly recommend the original design paper. [1] It touches on the very valid suggestions you make, and the tradeoffs. Sadly, not much has changed since. If you have a valid proposal, and you double-checked briefly what is covered on Anonbib as previous considerations, post to the tor-dev list and it will be looked at by Tor developers. At least that is my experience from following that list.

In what little TS experience I have, third party dependencies that didn't yet have proper typings was the primary motivation for using any - and even then, you can provide a placeholder / temporary type definition for 3rd party libraries yourself. Which is an annoying chore, but you can't expect every JS library to invest time in adding TS / typing support because you would like it.

With that in mind though, a lot of JS libraries did add it, and the people running the @types repository did a lot of work on volunteering to add it even when the maintainers of the library didn't want it.

“… so I’ll low-key passive-aggressively do it while pretending to comment”? :)

Look, Elm and Typescript are two very different things with different goals. There’s no problem developing a new app in Elm if it suits your use-case, but if you’re doing any number of other things - improving an existing app, writing a server app, working with Javascript developers - Typescript might be a more suitable choice.

From my point of view, I was able to slowly convert an existing large web app to Typescript over the course of a few months by rewriting a file whenever I touched it. Now the code is more reliable and easier to work on. That’s a good solution, but not one that would have been feasible with Elm.

It's true that bash can be installed on any Unix-like OS, but so can Python, Perl, etc, but it's not available by default, on OpenBSD there's pdksh, FreeBSD tcsh iirc, and on MacOS I believe the version of bash is really old due to some previous license change.

Edit: I read your post quickly, you addressed the old bash scenario, but still in my opinion I would always, and do target POSIX shell for maximum cross-platform compatibility and that is definitely available on Unix-like OSs by default.
>>with an unelected Executive body

Simply not true - the executive body is chosen by people that you can directly vote for, so the same as oh I don't know....the prime minister of the UK for instance?

>> and a very powerful Supreme Court (Court of Justice),

Nothing to do with EU. ECJ is a separate institution that UK will be still part of even after Brexit.

>>and so much more - that almost no European citizen ever voted for.

Remind me, when was the vote to elect Theresa May to power? Or the members of the House of Lords? Or the Queen for that matter?

>>Everyone is for trade, most are for open borders, very few for deep political integration.

I'd definitely contest the "very few" part of that sentence. I'd definitely be up for creating a United States of Europe with one federal government and full financial and political union.

I like both, for their own merits. I personally believe TS is a better choice for larger projects with larger amounts of developers, for 'stricter' projects.

At that point you're basically discussion voting systems. Using first-past-the-post with three options, two of them being breixt, would heavily rig the vote towards remain.

Improving voting systems would be great (especially looking at the US, if you ever want more than two real parties), but doing it on the back of such an important decision would be problematic at best.

My compensation includes company stock. I sell that stock, and some of the proceeds end up in index funds. I do this because I want a diversified portfolio.

My employer's stock is up 28% over the last year, S&P 500 is down 6%.

I guess my goal going in was to reduce variance, so I wasn't "wrong" about anything. 36% more money would be nice, though. (I haven't changed my strategy as a result)
> free from corporate interests

That won't help. All research is subject to the bias of the researchers. For example, many researchers have been caught fabricating results so they'll get famous. And just because someone is being funded by the government hardly means the government doesn't have a biased interest in the result. Everyone running the government has an agenda that isn't exactly altruistic.

I enjoyed this article. It got me thinking that one of the problems in life is that the loss function is unknown: we don't always know beforehand what would make us happy or satisfied. However, it's a lot easier to gauge one's current gradient: whether things are getting better or worse, or stagnant, as in plateau.

It's interesting because until Gettier nobody had actually proved that a justified true belief does not constitute what we commonly consider to be knowledge.

It's all very well dismissing it an inconsequential, but several generations of philosophers and scientists have grown up in the post-Gettier world, before which the Justified True Belief account was widely considered to be unassailable. Yes _now_ we all know better and are brought up knowing this, but Gettier and his huge influence on later thought is the reason why and it's just that not many people are aware of this.

"State actors"?

This is implying that over 190 countries have that capability, and it is available to all "state" organizations. Like so many comments on HN, saying that it offers "0 anonymity", this shows ignorance of what is going on in the rest of the world, and the kind of surveillance the world's population is under.

Further above, Five Eyes were mentioned. From the Snowden leaks it is known that some eyes get assistance for sacrificing all data upstream to NSA, but its not like all participants have equal access. So even claiming that "any" "Western" "state actor" has that capacity sounds far-fetched.

Also, this is ignorant of all the non-state actors interested in your data.

I completely agree with the fact that Tesla is, at least IMHO, a software company first but on the body panel gaps I really think is a non-issue.

It definitely wasn't an isolated issue since I’ve seen the same thing on at least other two same models around town but no one online or any media is shouting right and left about it...

It's not quite OTB but with Vetr and and such it's the best worst experience. By that I mean, as the worst TS experience it's miles ahead of tooling for say.. Python.

That being said, Vue... Oh Vue. It settled on its own string template syntax that never got the tooling love of JSX. There have been efforts to get them typed, but those efforts never quite rounded second. Lack of typing in the Vue templates seems to be a sticking point for many.. I don't believe they are long does this world; JSX is the future for Vue.

The obsession with fast charging is getting tiresome.

Here in Norway we have more electric cars per head than anywhere else and most people wake up to a fully charged car.

It is really rare to need to charge the car at a public charger unless you have nowhere off road to park your car. What is most needed in most places is somewhere to charge the car overnight or while you are at work. Such chargers need no new technology, no extra infrastructure beyond a simple socket in a post beside the road or in each parking space in car parks.
Between two countries of equal power, sure, but smaller countries are essentially looking for cheaper export access to larger markets and big countries like the USA do naturally take advantage of that.

Here are some specific complaints about the EU:

- Nobody in the UK ever voted for an external, supra-national government to have increasing control over numerous and increasing aspects of British life: farming, fishing, immigration, subsidies, etc. etc.

- The EU is openly talking about a unified army, implementation of a law requiring all members to join the Euro and 'tax harmonisation': the removal of sovereign countries to set their own tax policies.

- Oh I know you'll tell me elected chambers that elect councils that distribute swords allocating a table of 7 presidents who nominate a head hobbit but the EU is patently undemocratic: noone knows who's in it, what they do or how they got there. Turnout for EU elections runs around 25% in the UK: it's hardly a mandate from the people is it?

- The EU is very expensive to the UK which makes a net contribution of £9 billion / year. This is money that could be spent on hospitals, teachers, police, etc.

- I know you like the EU because you see it as some hippy, huggy federation of nations but the EU is increasingly right-wing and neo-liberal - you need only look at their criminal treatment of Greece to see that.
Well, the map quality depends on the region. So I could easily argue that OSM has much better quality than Google Maps, looking at Hamburg, Germany for example.

I know that the quality is not everywhere as good as there, but the quality varies for the other Map products too. So if it 'sucks' or the other thing 'sucks' greatly depends on where you currently are.
> By that logic the US shouldn't have a single currency, either.

The US is at least somewhat willing to tax money made in California and spend the takings in Michigan. Greece or Italy gets the worst of both worlds: they can't devalue their currency to make their industries competitive with Germany, but they don't receive much share of German taxes either.
Others have responded abstractly with why this isn't a useful distinction, but I'll do you one better and give you a history lesson.

In 1649 Charles I of England was executed by order of Parliament. Parliament drew a distinction between the Crown and the person wearing it. Their loyalty was to the Crown. Having killed the King they decided to try being a republic.

Parliament is sovereign. But elected Heads of State are trouble - parliament eventually figured this out and got a new King instead.
Big money is already losing some money, AFAIK. I'm in Amsterdam and there's news every other week of a big company or organization moving to Amsterdam _already_, just in case brexit goes through.

Do you think the entirety of Russia's efforts to destabilise the US amounts to a few Facbook ads?
I think the problem is that consensus (51.9%) was made at the 30k ft. / 9km view (leave the EU).

The details were left to be sorted out later and that's where all the trouble is.

If the details of Brexit were included in the referendum, there wouldn't be any trouble in implementing it.

But, you can bet that the ~half of voters that wanted Brexit aren't even in agreement on how to implement it, let alone trying to gain the support of all those that never wanted it to begin with.

In the end the referendum was more of an opinion poll than legislation that voters could analyze and make an informed decision.

I don't think you can fault the voters for answering the questions put to them. It's not like the ballot comes with a comment box: "I want independence from the EU, but I'm also concerned that you didn't think through how to implement it." They just vote Yes and expect politicians to do their job.
I feel rather the same about Demon Internet, one of the earliest UK ISPs which started as a 'tenner a month club' back in 1992. Got sold off in 1998, has been shuffled around various corporate owners until it ended up with Vodaphone - who have just decided to finally kill it.

"I want to prove that it's good for something, but I don't care what it's good for" is not really a good research question. Then you'll measure 100 things and only publish the one that makes your intervention look good and possibly ignore all the ones that make it look bad.

It's also rather useless if you don't at least have some idea of the mechanism. Coffee has lots of different parts, so what part of it is useful - is it the caffeine? The tannins? ...? And how does it have this effect? Is it even the coffee or just that the coffee group took 5 minutes of rest to drink their brew and that is really the effect?

My country was recently victim of a "hacker"-attack. Personal accounts of politicians were compromised. Everyone and their cats pointed their fingers at Russia.

I doubt that a significant part of the population are reiterating Kremlin-propaganda.

It seems to be a hysterical Red Scare 2.0, just from a different political side, that is just as opportunistic.

If you always see Putin in your dreams, I doubt you should point a finger on people and diagnose any form of manipulation.

There are certainly some bots, but I doubt Russia is represented disproportionally. Just the language barrier alone would lessen their numbers significantly. It often just serves as a convenient excuse for political defeat.

Putin is totalitarian dick. Why not just leave it at that instead of accusing people of asserting his will?
Perfectly correct. This is why IoT is a big deal, anyone hacking your poorly secured IoT device has access to the network it's in.

Two major differences though:

1) There are accessible ways for you to secure your home network, not so much when it comes to the car network.

2) Someone taking control of your car poses a more immediate risk to your life and the lives of others on the road around you than having your home network hacked.
