Well, the sole fact that it will run is already assuring. Store your Tesla in a garage for a month unplugged and then get it serviced how? Have four guys come and let them pull it out of the garage taking hours, just to be able to even load it on a truck...

IMO, there are two things Tesla could do, one is an automated notification when your battery runs low, presenting you the options to a) let it just sit, b) turn off all electronics to preserve a little more battery and c) to let a Tesla service guy come to save your battery.

The other thing is, that you should be able to enter tow mode just from an external power supply, so it will be trivial to pull it out of your garage.
Missed that one. Too busy reading Hacker N -- I mean, writing code.

And the meme-ification only makes me feel slightly better about it. I mean, what's it cost Jeff to give a little credit?

So what? You can have a cash payout that takes time.
Hey hacker news. Long time reader, occasional commenter, new entrepreneur. I'm curious to know what you guys think about the need for product like the one we're building. Super excited and nervous to be taking the plunge. I'm turning 30 this year, and with everything I've learned to date, starting this business just felt right.
I use the EFF's Firefox addon called "HTTPS Everywhere". It has a list of websites that have HTTPS enabled, and whenever your browser is directed to the plain-HTTP version, it will go to the HTTPS version instead. https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere A useful (but tbh kinda annoying) companion addon is the HTTPS Finder. It checks to see if the website you're currently browsing also has an HTTPS version, and will add a rule to the HTTPS Everywhere addon. (It also has a "whitelist" of sites that this breaks.) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-finder
Thanks for the constructive feedback.You're right, these resumes won't be right for certain industries, for instance banking. We're OK with it not being for everybody as long as we can find a big enough niche.

Regarding the pricing, we charge $99 for the initial design. However, if the customer wants any additional versions they are $5/version not $10. Obviously if someone is creating a new version of their resume for 100 different positions, it wouldn't be financially feasible for them. However, if they are targeting $5 companies, I don't think spending $20 extra is a huge hurdle to overcome, particularly if you think of the resume as an investment. If it can give you a better chance of getting noticed, it can be the difference of making an $9/hour at Starbucks or $60,000/year in an ad agency. Just my thoughts, but I do appreciate your feedback.
I was taken in by Crichton's chatterbot AIs in "The Terminal Man" for a while, until I got online and actually did research into what the current state of the art (i.e., decades after the novel was written) in that field actually looks like. As it turns out, no, it's not possible to push a real chatterbot into a psychotic break; they aren't nearly complex enough.
These aren't mutually exclusive things, and his argument could be extended to the military industry as well. It's just a reflection on his part based on an experience he had.
Even if I did not care about programmer well-being, I would be reluctant to use torrents and pirate sites because of the threat of malware.

But then I have one Windows PC that I use for both games and online banking. Maybe that's rare among HN readers.
True! With Chomp gone, where will Google find experts in search?
You are your own worst critic
With coffee cups never empty, there will be a significant amount of diuretic liquid poured into your team's collective digestive systems.

This can lead to only one result - more productivity-destroying trips away from the desk!

Will you try to solve this in the same manner?
Also, if the police blow-torch open your safe the prosecutors still have to prove you had knowledge and access to what was in the safe. If you are forced to give access you are most certainly self-incriminating yourself.
Using Google Chrome 17 on a Mac, I get "Permission Denied" on almost everything. If I drag "Mapper" or "Joiner" or "SetConverter" onto the main area, I get "Permission Denied".

My impression is that this app simply does not work. Also, its been 3 hours since you said you would fix the issue with "Permission Denied" but it is apparently still a problem.
If HTML5 does not adopt some sort of DRM, I believe Flash video will continue to have a strong market position (for web video). Ironically, Adobe's DRM product is called "Flash Access".
Yeah, just drawing attention to the "rigorous discussion" (hand waving).

Does rampant theft make theft any more acceptable?
That's not the same thing though. Plain text is a security risk because users tend to reuse passwords. If it's hashed then that wouldn't be the case, even if they can mine it or whatever.
I just asked a lawyer friend this that does trials; he says: in cases where there is a sealed safe (the police / govt didn't breach it for whatever reason) a court will usually ask you to open it if the prosecution can provide enough evidence to suggest that the contents are a critical element to the case. That requires some kind of trail that leads to the safe. A court won't just automatically force you to open your safe and potentially incriminate yourself; but they also will not allow you to use a safe to hide your murder weapon if all evidence points to you having stored it there.

In the case of cryptography, if the contents are bad enough to put you in prison for a zillion years, obviously you have to make a judgment call as to the punishment if you refuse a court order to decrypt the contents. Since this is still such a relatively new gray area, I'd say a court would still blaze its own path (not depend primarily on prior precedent) in deciding if you're to be compelled. Perhaps you aren't likely to be convicted of the worst charges if you don't decrypt, and it might prevent the prosecution from building up other charges, but you will be punished by the court for refusing its order.
Woz on Creativity: Work Alone
I think that every advocate for censorship that I've ever heard has said some subset of the following things:

1. Freedom of speech is important, but this is a special case.

2. This stuff really is harmful. I don't want bad people exposing children to sex/communism/homosexuality/anorexia/witchcraft/whatever.

3. We're only going to censor $TOPIC_OF_THE_DAY. This is not a slippery slope.

4. Be reasonable.

Of course in this case, the stakes aren't that high, since it's easy for censored blogs to move away from Tumblr. This policy is more about social signaling than about seriously trying to help anyone.
MailerJS: Send email with client-side JavaScript
There was an article posted a while back that seems like it might be relevant here (especially with the doubting of SSL being feasible to deploy for everyone). It discussed how many sites use OpenSSL improperly or in a poorly configured way that causes it to be more expensive than it needs to be. I hate doing this, but I also have been looking for the link for a while with no success.

JQuery UI 1.8.18 Released
Gitology is definitely a sunk cost, because of all the concepts you have to learn which are not applicable anywhere else. Here's a good example of what happens when a programmer learns git as the first DVCS:

The source of truth for this is the HTTP Status Code Registry at IANA: http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/

It would be really nice if this page could at least refer to it.
I think one of the big missing pieces is the social aspect. One of the big benefits of attending classes in person, is that you get to meet and network with other people with similar interests. It's much more difficult to get a study group, or that same level of social interaction when studying at home. There's room there for innovation and for someone to bring all the independent studiers together.
It would be unusual to have non integer occurrences of words in the text. But given the question didn't specify how to round, both 21 and 22 could be valid answers even with only whole number counts of words. Round down gives 21, while round by half gives 22.

Interesting to see how few of the proposed answers used an HTML parsing library (simplistic matching of potentially unknown document syntaxes is a notoriously brittle approach), and surprised how few counted depth relative to the article tag.

Given embedly's business and the setup discussion, seems like a valid solution should work with any arbitrary HTML page containing an article tag and paragraphs within it, while many of the gist lists either counted P depths by hand (!) or assumed that one particular document.

If the <article> tag or the <div> by it or the <p> tags had had so much as a space before the closing angle bracket (and forget about classes or styles) most of them would have failed. For the most part, only the solutions pulling in an external parsing lib would have still worked. Python's lxml.soupparser comes to mind (or lxml.etree for this task), and was happy to see several similar libs invoked.

Interesting that you had to replace the document with a cleaned up one to get more successful answers.

Thanks for sharing the results.
Somehow sad, but, any good developer handles some extra tools besides Ruby, at least the developer happiness culture is mainstream.

Should All Web Traffic Be Encrypted?
The prevalence of free, open WiFi has made it rather easy for a WiFi eavesdropper to steal your identity cookie for the websites you visit while you're connected to that WiFi access point. This is something I talked about in Breaking the Web's Cookie Jar. It's difficult to fix without making major changes to the web's infrastructure.

In the year since I wrote that, a number of major websites have "solved" the WiFi eavesdropping problem by either making encrypted HTTPS web traffic an account option or mandatory for all logged in users.

For example, I just noticed that Twitter, transparently to me and presumably all other Twitter users, switched to an encrypted web connection by default. You can tell because most modern browsers show the address bar in green when the connection is encrypted.

Government economic policy is currently directed, in large part, toward making sure that there are regular increases in GDP. I get that.

I'm trying to figure out what government policy might look like if it was directed toward increasing net household wealth. Just hoarding gold does little for the economy. But this is irrelevant. At issue is what it would look like, economically, to focus on increasing a nation's economic wealth (after inflation). It seems like it would be awfully difficult to increase after-inflation wealth without a fair amount of genuine value being created, no?

Could focusing on combined household wealth cause there to be more attention paid to median household wealth? And how might economic policy behave differently if increasing this was its focus?

Another reason to pay closer attention to wealth is that it doesn't suffer from the "broken window fallacy".
How does a keyboard (even one fashioned from "polished meteorite") with a mere 0.2mm travel distance not compromise tactile feel?
And on a somewhat related note: not being able to get any phone calls while connected to the internet either.

Onetime I got the busy signal for 3 hours straight before walking 10 miles home because my mom was waiting for my call while on the internet.
Words to live by…
Heh, when I was in my Electrical Engineering programme, I got funny looks; instead of the formulas listed, I pretty much had to just keep two straight: i = C dv/dt and v = L di/dt. Alternatively, Z = 1/Cs and Z = Ls. While everyone else was trying to keep all of their formulae with exponentials straight, I'd just solve from the base equations (either by solving the diff-eqs or equivalently the inverse Laplace transform).

Smarter Anti-Distraction Software
"Integrity dollars" are not like the other three.

1. There is no limit to how many you can spend in a lifetime.

2. They are non-linear: the more you spend, the lower the integrity cost of everything you do in the future.

3. The effect of #2 is localized - if I still have a rack full of pirated CDs (both music and games) from my student days, I am less reluctant to pirate music, but that will not necessarily make me more likely to pirate movies or business software.

There are some pretty cool things in there.

In my mind it's the same thing with vim/emacs. You only use what you know, it's not that the other pieces aren't useful.
Is Google Preparing A Cloud TV Offering?
Well, not everyone. There are still situations in which the decryption would not be testimonial in nature and would thus not be privileged.
Please don't try to inject nationalism into the discussion. At the very least, it's rhetorically rude.

(I know this isn't a reply to your actual argument, but I don't have the authority to delete epistemically dangerous posts, so I figured posting this was more appropriate than trying to get myself set up as a censor. :-) )

(Also, is there a commonly agreed-upon way of putting a :-) emoticon at the end of a parenthesized region? The apparent paren mismatch bothers me.)
Right now I earn $200 a month but it is doing something I love. Not long ago I was earning more than twice that a day.
I wish there was a nicer balance between the working for someone else with a nice salary and working for yourself. It seems to me the start up scene is loaded with people looking to strike it rich. What about ones that would be happy with an average salary but working for themselves?
What could you do to achieve that balance?
1) Perhaps I should have said proportionally. More importantly, online speech didn't exist 40 years ago. And it's all happening on someone else's privately owned infrastructure to some degree.

2) We live in a world where community events are now happening in malls. Formerly publicly owned halls have been sold off. Parks have been turned into condos with civil planning concessions of 'public' play areas and child care provisions. This should be increasingly apparent where population density is higher and/or the funds to maintain public spaces is harder to come by.
I have done all of these things, and I know when it's appropriate and when it's not. The trick isn't that I can "come up with the vibration amplitude of a forged 316 stainless shaft", but that I know how I could do that. Over and over, I've seen the effects of failing to understand the abstractions (formula tables) that people are using to develop software. It's that fundamental base understanding that, in my opinion, can propel someone from pretty good to exceptionally awesome.
I will argue, as I don't know who the submitter is, or even what this site is. HackerNews I think? I just got here via a Twitter post. So I have nothing to lose.

If you're using Excel for automated code generation, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

Surely there are better tools out there for the task.
HTTPS Finder dev here - If you go into settings you can turn off the auto-redirect to HTTPS or the actual drop down alerts (or both).

Then you can go into Preferences > Advanced after some browsing, and you'll see a list of all the good sites found. You can create HTTPS Everywhere rules directly from there, without ever being annoyed during your normal browsing.
So a sufficiently strong method of encryption (one that is proven to be not time or resource efficient) is enough to protect your hard drive from law enforcement eyes?
GPS jammers and spoofers threaten infrastructure, say researchers
Not that I don't believe you, but I'm genuinely curious.

When you're designing a "beautiful relational database" without thinking about the algorithms behind it, how are you taking the performance effects of those algorithms into account? How do you know which relationships and queries are likely to be efficient and which are not?

Microsoft: Motorola and Google are trying to 'kill video on the Web'
And the dirty secret of outsourcing is that it very rarely goes the way people want it to go and the low paid googlers end up being replaced by very expensive experienced software developers.
That could be done on the client side, reading the text on the page, like I assume they do for every other AdSense-enabled page.
I stick with TV-series, and I've never seen an infected file. If I had been downloading software, sure, I would have been slightly more worried, but even so most sites have comments and ratingsystems. Looking at them probably helps you find out if a torrent is malicious or not.

TL;DR-version: In my experience, with some sense, your risk of running into malware in torrents is slim.

I would be prepared to pay all the $M the media industry wants today as long as they reduced the other three currencies considerably. My main reason for piracy is availability. I can't even buy the things I want where I live.

My dream scenario is a 1080p, DRM-free film, available worldwide behind a pay-link. I want to be able to download it, to feel that I own it. And that my money doesn't go to suppressing human rights and suing file-sharers. Pull that off, and you'll get my $M.
I'd be more afraid of a "Yes" than a "No" for some of these:

* When you're leaving Point A for Point B, ask a stranger at Point A out of the blue if they'd like to travel to Point B with you.

* Ask for a bite/sip of someones’ food/drink.

* Come to some sort of event. Ask if you can give a quick presentation on something before the main event.

* Ask to trade clothes.

* Try to sell your own personal effects.

Auditor Denies That an Auditor Was Paid Too Much Money to Audit
I can't count the number of times I did:

cd $PROJECT
svn diff > ~/working-on-foo.patch
svn revert *

patch < ~/working-on-bar.patch

30 GOTO 10.

Ugh. Thinking about going back to that workflow makes me physically ill.

Git (as Linus says) is a STUPID content tracker. 99.9% of the time when I'm working on source code, git allowing me to do stable, local "bookmarks", keep multiple local branches (and local history) active simultaneously, and keep all my content tracked... Git has its flaws and warts but don't seriously suggest that "svn diff > ~/working-on-foo.patch" is a valid workflow. That's bringing a knife to a gunfight.

I suggest that if you can understand a linked list, you can understand git. And if you're a programmer that can't understand a linked list... well... print out your "cheat sheet", here's a copy of Tortoise, and commit your code to a branch before it gets approved for main-line.
