The foundations are in the mathematical sciences, beginning with Galileo and Kepler and wrestled with by Descartes until Newton came up with a brilliant work on mechanics. It’s focus has been on the mechanical, ie numerical and geometrical, principles of motion and not on substance. Studying not what it is but where it will be, giving us greater certainty of phenomena and thus greater self-determination in an unpredictable world.

This intellectual current is now upheld by the engineering sciences. The physicists are too glued to the Bohr Model and a particle universe to concern themselves with a new mechanics in light of the quantum wave phenomena discovered last century.

This.

Nevertheless, taking ideas to the extreme might yield interesting insights.
Sort of similar to the fact that I basically always have both tmux and dtach installed, the latter for "just make this detachable", the former for "actually I'd like some features today".

Except that when the CIA was said to be spying on Assange, he was actively trying to escape justice by taking refuge in a country (or rather its embassy) that provided a safe harbour. The CIA seemed to be perfectly in its role, particularly if he was suspected of preparing new leaks.

plus a tiny factor from the fact that Tesla is just out of the death trap and growing ... always raises the value a bit
I thought bmw and mercs do the window thing too.
I'm curious as well. I'm mostly curious about the build quality of simple mechanical features like the doors. Why do the model 3 doors feel so cheap compared to a BMW. Is it a weight thing or just an oversight?
Ask what's memory protection before it overwrites state used by another core. Then ask again how you synchronize these words from one with reads from another.

Yeah, it's not even eventual consistency. They get away with it by using a heavy mailbox message passing setup for synchronization and separate address spaces.
it's certainly a little inconvenient but people are already buying evs who live in condos in Seattle and San Francisco and probably other places. Don't forget apartments, they have the same issue
No! No, no, no. This will not happen. It's a total pipe dream.

These ancient companies, so set in their ways, who have been incrementally making tiny adjustments to their cars for decades, will never "suddenly leap forward" to come out with something more advanced and more appealing than a Tesla.

Tesla isn't the blackberry here, the other car companies are! You're basically the guy in 2008 saying "sure Apple has an advantage now, but what will they do when Blackberry catches up and shifts to touchscreen based phones?" Guess what never happened.
I've commented on boot camps before.

They are recruitment 2.0, in which they are trying to farm developers. A lot of the bootcamps in the UK have deals with big firms to allocate X developers per cohort to them.

Its a great business model, people pay them to essentially be motivated to learn publically accessible data, then they get some "help" finding a dev job. Then the hiring company pays the bootcamp a fee as well.

Not great for existing developers who then spend time babysitting the bootcampers, who I would say require more effort and time than graduates or juniors.
A known exemption to extradition laws is the death penalty. Being that it is illegal in Europe, European countries will refuse to extradite people accused of capital crimes to the US unless the US government commits to taking the death penalty of the table.

Old reference, might be out-of-date, but I think it’s still mostly true:

Technology sharing is very important to the modern car industry. Cars are incredibly complicated and if you follow news in the industry, in many cases brands will make technology sharing agreements so that they aren’t duplicating efforts.

That’s where Tesla is well-positioned for the future compared to Ford and GM. They have a whole platform and a battery manufacturing facility where other car brands may become Tesla customers in the future. Disregarding things like build quality or fit and finish, my understanding is that Tesla’s battery platform and powertrain is the industry leader.

If investors think that gas cars will essentially be irrelevant 20 years, I could see why Tesla is so valuable.
Then you need to look closer. A long range model 3 can go 310 miles and charge quickly at superchargers. Condo dwellers can basically treat this car just like a gas car with fewer fillup options.

A lot of people should do the math on the model 3. The math is current car payment + 90% gas payment = new car payment on a model 3. The remaining 10% is what you pay for electricity.
I have an inkling that Tesla has now gained long-term credibility, and we're on the cusp of seeing much broader adoption by a mass of non-early adopters -- people who will evaluate buying a Tesla the same way they would evaluate any other brand, based on boring criteria like long-term quality, day-to-day reliability, service convenience, overall reputation, interior features, exterior design, and resale value. The stock market appears to be pricing this scenario.

Conversely, the worst-case scenario for Tesla as a business, at this juncture, may be that it finds itself unable to remain financially sustainable over time... and ends up getting acquired by another car marker salivating over the prospects of getting its hands on the company's technology and infrastructure.

PS. I write this as someone who has purchased and owned multiple luxury European vehicles (mainly BMW and Mercedes) for the past 20+ years; for the first time, I'm seriously considering switching over to a Tesla when I replace my current vehicle.

Warp drive will be real when we will crack vacuum. Maybe we will be able to condensate vacuum, or make a supercavitating shield, or something else.

I have idea of an engine, but a) it must be supertiny, b) the only possibility to feed enough energy into engine is to launch it through Sun.

iPhones couldn't run Flash (which powered all of the interactive content on the internet at the time), couldn't send MMS (which was the way everyone shared photos at the time) or run apps (which was how feature phones added functionality at the time).

"Why on Earth would anyone want one of those!?" was a pretty common reaction, yet they still sold like hotcakes. In the case of Flash and MMS, the whole mobile internet changed to suit the iPhone. In the case of apps, Steve Jobs finally relented, leading to the single biggest software marketplace in the world.
that's a good point. At the moment, it's kind of hard for a tech stock symbol to not do great.
The point of structure is to aid comprehension. If you throw out the requirement for the system to be comprehensible, you can write it any way you wish.

Treating code as a black box with regard to making behavioural changes is essentially taking the worst aspects of TDD to extremes. It is not enough that it gives the right answers for your test cases, since you can only test a vanishingly tiny subset of all cases which need to be handled. It must be possible to reason about all possible outcomes, and that means removing unnecessary logic, not plastering over it.
You're comparing writing a document with how we evolved which in my opinion is a false analogy. Our brains interact with complex systems in a much more intricate way than what is "writing a structured document". And in fact the entire attitude of this approach is the fact that we're not dealing with a statically structured word document, but with a much more intelligible system: a computer. Hence why not imagine programming differently: where we discuss with the system, and inquire it similarly to how the modules written in the article illustrate.
In the context of this article - physics progression - what specific theoretical discoveries or predictions has it produced that can be verified or disproven via experiment in the forseeable future?
fsvo 'binary', i think i agree. I've written my fair share of struct.unpack-heavy code, and it's just tedious.

I also think that __str__ and __repr__ behavior on bytes is misleading at best. I do not like getting ascii values for some bytes and not others... and iterating to get base-10 ints!?

Pillow[simd], soundfile, and imageio can do nice things for image and sound data.
In the US, health insurance can't use genetic information (GINA law). It is unlikely to change, as the uproar would be significant.
You don't _need_ a coding bootcamp, but they can be a hell of a way to focus the mind. Yes, you can learn a lot of the coding skills individually, but a bootcamp will instil much of that knowledge in a very concentrated period of time, in a manner that leaves you open to more without becoming dogmatised in a particular way of doing things and - get this - involves doing it with other people. That means you're ready to enter Agile teams if you so wish.

Also, absolutely no-one coming out of a bootcamp would say they're ready for a senior or even mid-level developer job. Categorically no-one. I have no idea where the author got that sentiment.
> Even pod to pod communication, which would be trivial to do using any sane solution is a huge pain in kubernetes.

You create a service and then use the DNS name? How is that hard?
You seem to be suggesting there's a media bias here. I think probably an honest answer to your question is "Tesla has all of these advantages in data gathering, but is not operationally equipped to use them."

Changes to circuit board vibration, to pick one of your examples, relies on tight control of manufacturing as a process. Model 3s had such basic issues as leaks in door seals--does it seem like they have tight control of manufacturing?

Manufacturing prowess aside, this forum has a pretty big collective eye roll at management and consultants and business 101 topics generally, but when you talk about things like "getting photos from a failed part direct to an engineer" you need to be asking whether those departments are set up to communicate with one another.
Show HN: Calliagnosia – 50 lines of CSS to hide karma on HN and more
https://pastebin.com/raw/4NJKDeZj

I'm probably not the first one to do this. I wrote some CSS that hides all instances of popularity (i.e. karma and comment counts) on HN, lobste.rs, and old.reddit. What motivated this? It was my tendency to ignore possibly-bespoke submissions simply because they had less than X points.

Hiding karma might not be for everyone, but I'd encourage giving it a go and seeing how your behavior changes. Here's how HN front looks for me: https://i.imgur.com/AKmc6Ak.png

I named this user style after the beauty-recognition-disabling tech from a Ted Chiang story:

"Think of calliagnosia as a kind of assisted maturity.
It lets you do what you should: ignore the surface,
so you can look deeper."

- from the short story "Liking What You See", by Ted Chiang

Currently I load the CSS at document-start using Greasemonkey on Firefox, though pasting it on any user-CSS browser extension would do (like Stylish, Styler, etc).
Don't think this is entirely a valid argument - use current regional settings.

Forcing the user to use a tighltly packed scrolling control with inertia is not a good idea. Yes, it might look cool in a demo, but - i think - it's a terrible user experience.

Ok, I see that there is code provided there. Better than nothing but geez, it is not really what metadata should be like

def get_labels(rightside):
met = {}
met['brain'] = (
1. * (rightside != 0).sum() / (rightside == 0).sum())
met['tumor'] = (
1. * (rightside > 2).sum() / ((rightside != 0).sum() + 1e-10))
met['has_enough_brain'] = met['brain'] > 0.30
met['has_tumor'] = met['tumor'] > 0.01
return met

I will say that it is very handy to know exactly how the labels were computed.

What I really meant is a way to search and select data based on metadata. For example has_tumor.

Also note how everything is still one single blob, to get one line of any of the files, one would need to download everything.
I mean, multiple companies have higher quality electric vehicles, but that isn't what sells. The name is what's selling.

Tesla's are pretty ugly, they have horrible reliability. You don't buy a Tesla for style, you buy it to show off.

Love the Tao Te Ching quote!

To add to your point, scientists have been chasing inconsistencies exactly like Sabine said. They’re chasing dark matter, dark energy, quantum gravity, early universe cosmology, naturalness (arguable; more of a theoretical inconsistency), and quantum foundations (smaller effort).

So I don’t see the point of vague allusions to the philosophy of science. If anyone has a concrete proposal---inspired from philosophy or whatever else, doesn’t matter---the proposal will typically be treated on its merits. Modulo caveats about humans being humans and all that.
TM3 owner, August 2018 delivery date.

I have had no issues for which I have had to take my car to Tesla other than when I had them do a tire rotation as my first service.

I have no annoying rattles or squeaks though road noise tends to be Honda levels (louder) than I have experienced in other cars (Murano or even 17 Chevrolet Volt).

Not to say it is perfect, there are some issues when you look below the surface that shows they were still getting up to speed making mass production cars. I have a few pieces where I just scratch my head, they do what they are supposed to but are not as elegant.

The initial advantage one sees is they are electric. that is a given. the real long term advantage is OTA and Tesla's repeatedly adding features to cars they sold years ago. This is the real game changer in the industry. Need improvements to voice commands or even navigation, previously you bought a newer model.

The interior can be off putting but why? Do you need layers of dead animals to feel luxury? Luxury to me is driving something I just get in and it goes. Luxury is simplicity in design. Compared to my previous Z4 the interior is just fine, the only change for me would be to change the piano black surfacing of some pieces to something else.

Lack of buttons is awesome because in makes you realize how little you ever used the vast majority of them. On that note, my Volt had fourteen separate buttons on the steering wheel, forty plus buttons over all once you rolled in the center stack and dash. Want to try this at home, put a yellow sticker on each button then remove if you use it. Might take weeks in not months.

I am really looking forward to EVs from everyone else but one thing matters most. If you want 50k or more from me it damn well best have three hundred miles EPA range.
A person can certainly disbelieve electricity, they would just be foolish to do so.

While I think a person would also be foolish to disbelieve gravitational waves, I think it wouldn’t be quite as foolish, because while we clearly measure gravitational waves, we don’t exactly use them to do (as opposed to “look at”) stuff, so a person’s everyday life is less impacted by disbelieving GW than by disbelieving electricity.
Yup. TinyBLE is nRF51 SoC with 16Kb SRAM as well.

The enterprise value is the value of a company.

enterprise_value = market_cap + debt - cash

Different companies are capitalized differently - some use all equity, some all debt, some a mix.

Not sure I agree that other claim holders represent reductions in the "value of the company". The same company can be capitalized different ways - the enterprise value for that company should be unchanged.
"markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"
> But I just do not see average people who live in condos buy an EV anytime soon.

Depending on where you live, there are sometimes EV charging spots in apartments/condos. To me, this is pretty clearly a supply/demand issue.

Today, there aren't enough EV drivers for condos to care, but as the percentage of people who own EVs increases, more places will install chargers. It's the exact same process that resulted in gas stations being everywhere.
What's best for you and what will give more financial reward are not always the same thing.
Not sure how that's relevant at all? The CIA has often operated far outside the law regardless of who is in office.
The higher end apartment buildings are getting chargers here in the Seattle area, while the lower ones are still slow on the uptake. It is just a matter of time now, anyways.
Its ok for Assange to hire people to steal information but its not ok for the government.
I was looking for languages which produce binaries which are self contained (in terms of being statically linked OR dynamically linked with few dependencies) close to what go produces, out of a default build process.

I guess with musl C, C++ and Rust can do that though it is a bit of work.

OCaml seems to link only to non OCaml stuff dynamically, which fits the bill too.
Note also that the line breaks are chosen by a human, and if you look at the bottom right corner of some of the images you can see random-looking digits that don't contribute to the image, but do contribute to the "primeness". There's the actual size of the search space, the rest of it is just picked to look that way. It's still a huge space and doesn't discount the effort of finding candidates and checking them, but it does demystify the image a bit.
I am a one-person team running Kubernetes on Google Cloud. It costs around $62 per month before tax. (One n1-standard-1 node for $35.34 per month, HTTP Load Balancing $18.60 per month and SSD persistent disks for $8.50 per month). Kubernetes gives me the ability to scale up quickly when the need comes (which is soon, hopefully).

I evaluated AWS Fargate & Kubernetes, Azure and GKE before settling on GKE. Amazon charges $148 per month just for cluster management alone. Google and Azure charge $0 for cluster management. This ruled out AWS for me. AWS appears to be a reluctant adopter of Kubernetes. They seem to want you to use Fargate instead. I tried it and found it to be crap--very hard to get things running.

I was able to get Kubernetes running on Azure and GKE fairly easily. There were minor hiccups on both those clouds. With Azure initial creation of a AKS cluster failed because some of the resource providers weren't "registered" on my subscription. On GKE it was hard to get ingress working. Static IPs take a long time to take effect, and in the mean time you are fiddling with your yaml files trying to figure out what you may have done wrong, not realizing it is a GKE issue.

The awesome part of Kubernetes is that I didn't need to learn almost anything about Google cloud to get everything working. I only had to learn Kubernetes. If Google raises prices I can easily switch to Azure without learning any Azure technologies. My knowledge as well as my application is completely portable. I can't imagine doing any of this as a one-person team without Kubernetes.
Amsterdam is far windier than people realize though. Wind makes for more difficult cycling.
No the end of bonus culture is never coming to Wall Street. It sounds nice in theory and makes for a good headline but it never works in real-life, particularly for performance oriented jobs like fundraising, sales, etc.

The reason is that when you work in environment that's all about getting more funds, selling more products it's not a rewarding job like marketing or software development.

The only rewarding part is making money, scoring deals and beating your other colleagues, competitors. Other than that, most people hate these jobs. And even to manage sales teams isn't easy. High-turnover rates, bunch of high-testosterone jerks ...

I'm talking about finance here. Yes software sales or gym membership sales you can be a nice consultative sales person who's simply there to maintain the status quo and benefit from a good product that sells itself.

Turn these jobs into regular consultative sales and you're going belly up. That's because in wall street you don't simply have a game-changing product like some Silicon Valley startup - that's solving real need.

There's no difference in what you offer other than how you can win clients on your side. And most of these clients don't want to deal with average sales dude ... because they're simply not one of them.

The top traders at the floor in one of my past jobs didn't even sell, they talked about cars, yachting, girls and played golf and poker with clients.

And yes, everyone gets bonuses in investment banks, but it's really the commissions they earn and dealmakers who drive the performance.
This is not remotely true.

First of all, life isn't something that I must squeeze all "productivity" out of possible, humans need rest and downtime. They also need socialization even though that's not "productive."

Secondly, podcasts help one accomplish productive work as they turn boring mundane (yet productive) tasks like cooking, cleaning, working out, gardening, folding laundry, woodworking, etc. into slight entertainment. For example, I feel much more motivated to clean the house when I have a podcasts I want to listen to vs before I started listening to podcasts (I don't really enjoy listening to music much). Almost nobody sits on the couch idly listening to podcasts.
hello sir this article really help me thankshttp://www.healthmenia.com/
>You're basically the guy in 2008 saying "sure Apple has an advantage now, but what will they do when Blackberry catches up and shifts to touchscreen based phones?"

Not really. BlackBerry basically invented the smartphone, and introduced it to market success. We're talking pre-2008 BlackBerry is Tesla today.

Tesla basically invented the EV, and is leading the market.
Tellingly, though, Blackberry failed not in the face of emerging competition from the existing establishment (e.g. Nokia and Palm) but because it got one-upped by another, even more innovative platform by a newcomer to the mobile market.

I mean, I agree that at some point Tesla is going to get beaten. But to argue that GM or Toyota will do it seems... less likely.

Toyota makes lots of other stuff too, they're very much like Mitsubishi in that regard. TBH I get it, they see the writing on the wall that a city without cars is the only way in the future, and they want to get ahead of the curve.
'reverse-engineered' is a bit grandiose isn't it?
I have had 3 electric cars: Chevy Volt, Tesla Model 3, and Jaguar IPace.

The Volt was the worst quality, but a total cost of ownership over 3 years of around $11K, including lease payments, insurance, and gas, but excluding charging.

The IPace is worse than the Tesla at around the same cost. It's worse range is really difficult if you don't have a fast charging setup. The software is obviously not built by a software company.

The Model 3 feels light, and goes far. The lack of physical controls make for a clean design. It can move like a muscle car but is obviously completely silent.

The Tesla sales and support has been terrible. There are obvious growing pains, and it's one reason we got the IPace. Long term those rough edges will smooth out.
That page says the well was 1285 feet (~390 meters). So, the Mir mine (525 meters) does seem deeper.
