With this kind of issue, there are no one "right" line, everyone has their own line. What you can do is, you fight for you line, because if don't other will try to impose their line. That being said, I personally favor no ban whatsoever.

Toyota does a similar thing (at least around where I live). I had a week on both a new and used car purchase to return it (some caveats like dings and such).

The only point in the whole article I agree with is that the latest commit per-file isn't particularly helpful. Otherwise I think the changes the author proposes make for a usability downgrade. A cluttered, aimless pile of shipwrecked links and elements floating on the sea of a page.
> I couldn’t help but feel that two decades ago, people similarly believed things that were baseless, but they had less capability to disseminate those ideas to other people.

Which people? Twenty years ago, people (by which I mean schoolteachers) baselessly believed that Columbus proved that the world was round rather than flat and disseminated that idea, and it was hard to disseminate the counter-idea of "no, actually, that's not true, the Ancient Greeks already knew the world was round, Columbus just thought the world was round and also much smaller, and he was wrong".

If you can stop people from disseminating "harmful" ideas, you have the power to decide which ideas are "harmful". You might think it's "harmful" to disseminate the idea that the American Civil War was motivated primarily by the issue of slavery, for instance. If you're just in charge of buying school textbooks for the state of Texas, you won't buy textbooks that disseminate this idea, and that's harmful enough. But if you're in charge of moderating user-generated content on a huge set of platforms like Google and Facebook are, it starts becoming more and more of a problem.

I don't know about Pakistan, but the Indian military is not a trivial adversary for China/Russia to "raid". Russia also sees no benefit to raiding India, as the two have historically been closely allied.

Also, how practical is unprovokedly "raiding" a nuclear power that has shown a willingness to use nukes? Are you assuming the nukes get spent in one conflict? The stockpiles held by either probably suffices multiple wars.
Myst is not the example you think it is. It's a fully 3D world with moving parts like the library staircase or the redwoods or the train section.

That they managed to pull it off for home computers in 1993 is nothing short of a performance focused mindset which led them to static images and QuickTime overlays. As soon as they had the ability, they released realMyst which was a realtime 3D version of the original, followed by realMyst Masterpiece in the last 5-10 years.

For that matter, Minecraft may be poorly optimized (it is) but without the effort spent on the chunking system that renders 16x16x(128/256) blocks as a single mesh, it wouldn't run at all. There's plenty of low hanging fruit (which may be more difficult to retrofit into the existing engine, or in the JVM itself) that other games have found and utilized, but without that initial performance optimization Minecraft wouldn't run at all.
Two nitpicks:

1. Why are the images cropped so strangely on mobile? It makes this article really hard to read.

2. Shouldn’t the title be “Redesigning the GitHub Repository Page”?

^ And a meta question for programmers, what do you do when English grammar calls for a question mark to be inside your quotation mark at the end of a sentence, but you’re literally quoting something that should not include the question mark?

Interesting but after hearing the stories of waiting days and weeks for delivery and for service I think it is best to wait a year or two more to make sure they have all the kinks worked out.

The way they are selling these I would hope someone would be looking and clicking on that details button and really looking to make sure it is for them.

Does anyone have a good real world average for current wait times for delivery and service? Also wondering what these are for the flyover states (midwest) where I am at vs the coasts.

That’s a fairly depressing read. While I think it’s understandable the founders run off with a ton of money, it’s not really a great state of affairs.

From that information, I would actively want to check SciHub out if I had never heard of it. Academia + notoriety sounds novel and useful.

Part of why SciHub has succeeded is just how easy it is. Copy/pasting an arbitrary DOI from any source will always beat most journals arcane login systems (especially on mobile) and their divine mission of obscuring "Download PDF" buttons.
Having "branches" and "Pull Requests" tabs on the same level just doesn't make sense :/

The main thing you want to see with the repo page is the code and the readme, i don't want to see all these commit messages or stats. Irrelevant.

This actually made me appreciate Github's current design :)
If I recall correctly, the SF Bay Area has quite a few Teslas on Getaround...

Some non state actors started the conflict, and India decided to make it an official conflict. State actors can't really treat these non-conventional forces as extensions of the military of other countries and retaliate against them. Well they can but then they risk starting wars. Often these non-state actors do whatever they want on their own, despite their handlers telling them not to do something. If these two countries do go to war it's likely that both will suffer heavily because of it -- Pakistan may not survive but India may be badly damaged. With all the economic issues these countries have they should really avoid getting into something like war.
I was trying to avoid an iOS vs. Android flamewar but feel free to read that as “buy an iPhone 3GS or later unless you want to carefully check this”.
> I'm not sure how competition or changing ownership would help

Competition always helps. It would be as simple as putting a stamping machine inside the train like they do on the buses.
I mean it doesn't cost anything and the only reason it is not being done is the same reason machines in stations do not work. The train company has a monopoly and they don't care to try offering a decent service.
This prediction has been made for every year of Tesla's existence
Yeah, that's mostly why I've learned to find my way around GitHub and GitWeb's UI…I'm not sure if there's any way to implement this without downloading the whole thing.
Apple has huge margins that allows them to do anything they want. For the $35,000 Tesla, cutting the stores is the way to be able to reach that selling price.
Conductor André Previn Dies at 89
From the current price, it's closer to three digits than to six, so my prediction actually has less price movement than the other.

But it's more than that. I've never believed the "To the moon!" predictions, because I've never believed that the real use value was there. It seems that people are investing on belief, but the actual real world use is... almost non-existent.

What's the daily volume of Bitcoin transactions that are purchases of other things, rather than investments in Bitcoin? [Edit: Divide that by the existing number of Bitcoin. That gives you the fraction spent in a day. What's the same figure for the US dollar?] Is Bitcoin really a currency if (relatively) nobody uses it to buy things? No, at that point it's an investment. [Edit: Or a store of value. But the value is fluctuating too much for it to be a very good store of value...]

But if there's no fundamental value, and it's not being used as a currency, what's the rational basis for its value? This makes it seem like a bubble.

Now, I don't actually have data for volume of purchases made in Bitcoin. I'm going on my impression, and I could be wrong.
Warning people not to use sci-hub, mentioning it by name as something that you shouldn't use, is a plausibly deniable way to spread the word about it.
Tesla starts charging $7k to add Full Self-Driving features
People don't refer to contracts often, and we intuit costs all the time. We have many services and utilities which are pay-for-what-you-use, such as gas, electric and internet. I don't know how much it's going to cost me to turn on my tv, but I have an intuition it's not enough to prevent me from doing so. I don't look at the price of most of my groceries. I just do a mental "looks about right" at the final total before paying it.

And none of this applies to a 14-year-old, who no one should expect to read a contract to figure out that normal use of a device will cost thousands of dollars a month.

The Polestar 2, a new battery EV from Volvo’s performance brand
Thank you. It seems to me like they are saying they already paid for permanent access to most 2018 or older articles:

"What is not affected

You can still access the following content in the same way you always have:

Most Elsevier articles published in 2018 or earlier: Because the UC’s prior contracts included permanent access to previously published content, you will still be able to get immediate access to the full text of most articles via ScienceDirect, just as you have in the past."
I can have 7 shirts shipped to my house and they take up a very small footprint. If I'm trying to decide between 7 cars, I'm going to have a hard time finding a place to put all of them, as will most people. That's on top of having to deal with financing multiple cars just to test drive them all.
Half of this works well; some of the redesign of tabs, the elimination of icons, and similar changes look great.

On the other hand, showing the last commit and change time for each file is useful. Where is that information now? It's in a linear commit list, which is helpful for different purposes ("when was the repo last updated and what's up?") but doesn't serve the original purposes as well ("when was this file updated?"). At the very least, the last-changed date would help.

Shoving statistics over on the right-hand side makes the page much more crowded; expanding the space available for files and commits would work better. Notice how the commit list has messages truncated; 70-to-80-character commit messages ought to fit comfortably there.

Where does the README appear, here? That tends to be the first thing I'm looking for in a new project, and it doesn't look like this redesign took that into account at all.

The new extra-busy tab bar makes it harder to get at the things you use every day: issues and pull requests.
Business Card Ray Tracer (2013)
Thanks, interesting paper. What's an R1?
Were you denied a loan from the same institution that issued the first one? I can't imagine a credit union turning down the same customer they just approved because 'computer says no.'

I'm not sure that Tesla is saying you can't test drive it. There are other ways to evangelize the car and let people test drive it, ones that don't involve massive rents in premium retail spaces. Toyota brings the Mirai to my local Farmers Market, for example.

They could easily organize such events for the Teslas.

Ah! So for Pakistan to be "playing with fire", India would merely need to withdraw it's stated "no first use of nukes" policy?

All you're doing is legitimizing a rouge state's rouge excuses for threats of nuclear war. Pakistani army has NO excuse to use nuclear weapons, unless they've been at the receiving end of a nuclear attack
Zotero has been great. I switched four years ago and never looked back. Plugin support is great- I have drag and drop support in my latex editor and fairly easy citation selection in Lyx
I like it. The commits per file don't make sense in the current design, and the tab hierarchy doesn't make sense. I don't like the "flat" redesign though, it was better before.
> I didn't say that ideas need to be 'approved'. I challenged the idea that the ability to reach a worldwide audience should be free and available to anybody, regardless of content therein.

If that "reach" should not be available to "anybody, regardless of content therein", then the logical and unavoidable conclusion there is some person or organization that has to decide what people and content are allowed access. You can hardly dodge the logical implications of your own statement.
Really well thought out. I love this. I've never realized 80% content on the first page is completely useless.

I think adding the readme to above the commits/stats would be a good idea. Perhaps make it ~500px and expandable.
The giant ipad is fine for people who don't want to drive, but for people who enjoy driving, an immersive experience is important.

I think the people who want the performance version should get a dashboard, or the option of one. I'll bet a $3000 optional dashboard would sell like hotcackes.
A blender with bells and whistles is a towering benevolent achievement compared ice cream and make-up. And no one much frets about those. The only thing Hollywood makes are movies and TV. And although not really comparable, even renaissance Italy spent vast resources just making paintings and sculptures.

And when an unethical product is made, and there certainly are some, occasionally employees pressure their company to stop. That is unusual historically.

Of course there are serious problems like exclusivity due to cargo cult hiring, exploding cost of both doing business and living. And of course the related tidal wave of homeless. But even there, occasional effort is made to address them. Historically the typical pattern is for industries to blame victims for the harm inflicted on them.

While those problems are pretty good reasons not to have it in your back yard, as an industry located far away, it's obviously well above average.
Maybe not higher quality, but certainly more capabilities.
A lot of people complain about Verizon but it is pretty good about that stuff. If you go over they will typically give you an opportunity to upgrade instead of paying the (often higher) overage fees. They even SMS you about it when you near your limit so it's not like some secret phone number you need to know to call.
I wonder how this dichotomy of "use Wikipedia and SciHub, but you don't cite them directly" affects the ethics of graduates.
I'm pretty sure third party licensed sales operations will pop up.

It's a classic silicon valley style move on their part: get out of the games you don't want to be in. In this case, the business of car dealerships not being the same as the business of car manufacturing.

Besides, the long play of Tesla is likely not in Tesla branded cars at all. They are slowly making the IBM move where they own and license the tech that other companies rely on.

The legal responsibility of autonomous vehicles and the long term warranty responsibilities of batteries as they decrease in capacity sounds like a terrible business to be in.

A, say, Ford "with Tesla tech" is likely worth substantially more in the mind of the consumer then one without. Pushing off the responsibility of the first point of contact is invaluable for a scaled business.

The bigger market than your own line of cars is to make the parts that all cars use.

It's the best powerplay they have access to in the market position they've formed.

I knew you could turn off the runtime but not about the formal verification lint tools that make it safe to do so. My reference for performance is the benchmark game. If you or someone else can mod those programs to beat rust I'd be thrilled. I like Ada.
The point is that's amortized over the lifetime of the car though, and isn't an up front savings like a lower cost would be. If you're taking out a 6 year auto loan then it's the same effect, but if you're taking out a shorter loan or paying cash it's not.
Some people that are complaining about C++ templates (and suggesting generics from other languages as alternatives) are missing the code generation aspect of templates.

Generics operate entirely at the Type level. For instance (using java)

List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
list.add(1);
Integer i = list.get(0);

is under the hood equivalent to

List<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();
list.add(new Integer(1));
Integer i = (Integer)list.get(0);

The differences between the two snippets are entirely at the type level - they compile to the exact same bytecode. Templates are strictly more powerful - they allow you to generate different code for each instantiation. The most obvious place where this is useful is when dealing with primitives that take up different sizes in memory. This is why you can't use generics in Java with primitives - you need Objects, because pointers to objects are always the same size. But if you want performance, so you want to be able to represent collections of primitives generically, then you need the power of templates because you need your code to compile to different things depending on the template parameters.
I would probably like this one better:

If rules and correctness disagree, correctness wins. English is not prescriptive, it's descriptive.
I don't think anyone will actually buy $35k model. They made it so undesirable that it's almost laughable. Reminds me of 2004 Honda Accord DX model with $16995 with roll-up manual windows, plastic hub caps and manual tranny that hardly anyone bought.

Most will opt for $40k premium model. Though 37k is much better value, it's missing the core features that tickle fancy of Tesla buyers.

It's not Tesla's "fault", but it's cutting corners in a bizarre way for the auto sales industry. I don't want to risk $35K+taxes/fees and get an Aldi shopping experience.

That artificially limits the potential reachable market though. Like a comment above says, if you don't have the retail presence, for people who want to test drive before they buy, they just won't have it on their list of options to consider. Feel's like they have to create some way for test drives to happen.
Here's hoping this is the asteroid to Elsevier's (and their business model's) dinosaur.
You must be very undecided if you want to try all, they are very different cars in terms of size and price. Or is the choice "should I buy an X or 3 M3's?"
TPMs have been in phones for years actually, both iPhones and Android phones. The iPhone chips have become a lot better the last year or two though. Some apps, like government or banking apps, actually have been using ARM TrustZone (and probably Apple's T2 chip) for secret storage already.

If you use krypt.co, you can store ssh and GPG keys on your phone's TPM, as well as a secret key for use with a browser addon to facilitate WebAuthn. So, you can already use your phone as the "thing you have".
Waiting times for the competition? What are you talking about?

I bought a Bolt EV off a dealer lot over a year ago, and the entire transaction took about 30 minutes. The car was $25,000 after incentives ($37K MSRP -> $35k Actual, 7.5k Fed Tax Credit, 2.5k State Credit). The Bolt can reliably go 240 miles on a charge, mine has had zero issues or service visits in 35k miles of driving. Also, it's made by GM which is a real car manufacturer, supported by thousands of dealerships and service centers across the country.
Often that sometimes is a life saver though...
I've driven a Model 3 on a couple of long drives. The screen is a complete non-issue and takes an hour or two to get used to if you've never driven a Tesla before.

It does make a few operations annoying but overall it works well and most people adapt pretty quickly.
I think they both deserve credit, in reality returning a 30 thousand dollar object is never going to be smooth.

The finance has already written you a check, they’ve already done all this leg work.

You’ve already driven it, if you’re purchasing it in earnest you might have already invested in charging infrastructure for your home, a whole laundry list of friction.

Then there’s what happens to the car you returned.

I wouldn’t want to be the guy stuck with a car that went through multiple 1000 mile “test drives” with Tesla’s reconditioning track record of delivering cars with toe nail clippings in the seat rails

(traditional dealers do have offers like this from time to time, but it’s exceedingly rare they’ll actually let you keep the car for more than a few hours, and most importantly they don’t require you to buy the car first, they’ll take a deposit or let you rent the car)
Does it matter to the victim who is at fault?

...also, there's a $1,200 delivery fee. Is this the new "restock fee"? it is conveniently left out of the marketing materials.
