It is different to regular dating site. It isn't a couple of guys. The software would be open source, I suggested starting with Protege. Since there is no single authority, a whoie bunch of entrepreneurs could pursue this, potentially in the thousands, seeding it with all their friends. Also, the functionality you get over traditional dating sites (and this also applies to business networking/sourcing such as linkedin/ebay) can be immense. You can run multiple queries over the profile data, whereas a site such as plentyoffish can't afford to. That alone should convince many people to contribute to this. I recall similar projects about a decade ago, such as rdf foaf, music brainz, but they didn't take off because their wasn't enough bandwith and computational power at the time (downloading millions of rdf pages wasn't possible then - now users routinely download gigabytes of video).
While a lot of this accurate and something to consider, the author of this article fails to mention anything about Tesla's unique service/support model that they plan to roll out with the Model S. Tesla also mentions a "five-minute battery swap" available on their upcoming vehicles as well as "Tesla Rangers" that will come to your vehicle in the event that it dies. It seems to me like this is a small problem that the author is blowing out of proportion.

OpenSMTPD comes very close to your ideal simple configuration, a 5 line configuration gets you up and running. Tie this together with openbsd's extremely simple pop3 server, you have something that is both extremely simple and easy to set up.

You could add a $100 mobile phone, which auto-calls a service center. If 1% of cars get "bricked", that's $10,000 per car saved, not including intervention costs. Even with some false positives, it would be worth it. Of course, that cost is carried by Tesla, not the customer.

"The Tesla manager called me to warn that my car was in trouble" is a much better customer experience than "my Tesla broke down, and cost $40k to fix".

Cars used to have the same problems with oil changes. This got better, as customers were educated (at the cost of a lot of cooked engines), and cars were able to warn their owners, and run for longer without oil.

Tarsnap pricing is for deduplicated data. You need to divide it by orders of magnitude for a proper comparison.

To be fair, that depends on how much duplicate data you're backing up. If you weren't using Tarsnap, you probably wouldn't have very many mostly-duplicate archives.

I think the better way to look at it is that Tarsnap makes it easy to have many archived snapshots of your data without paying very much more. Whether being able to have daily snapshots for the past year is worth more than always having just your latest archive... well, that depends on what you're doing. It's a feature I think is important for my own use cases, but I'm not so bold as to think that everybody has exactly the same needs as me.
It would be amazing to have members of Congress who understood forks and pull requests. Given the recent SOPA/DNS fiasco, I'd say we have another 30 - 50 years.
Well.... in the end, the underlying cause is the fact that the "social contract" in Greece - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_contract - was pretty much screwed up. And so they will be you-know-what, either way, until THAT is fixed up. But not for much longer.
So it's really an automation problem. It should be easy for males to broadcast a crafted message to everyone. It should be easy for females to filter messages using complicated criteria. However, this requires a lot of computation and dating sites form monopolies at which point they stop innovating.

The solution to that is open-data peer-to-peer. Sematntic web technologies solved that problem. Use an ontology editor like Protege to create your profile and publish the data as rdf. Other people would download the data and queries on it.
Probably not, and you will be doing so many string manipulations that it might not be worth trying. There are a few libraries for getting CGI parameters, but that's all I'm aware of.

If your reason for wanting to code in C is for performance at a popular site, cacheing and server configuration will probably be the most important factor.
The quoted numbers per GB are honest calculations, but they can be a little misleading because they don't reflect the REAL costs you are going to end up paying PER MONTH and UP FRONT. As with anything, you always have to run the calculations first.

An illustrative example: My co-founders and I recently looked at a bunch of new office spaces and were doing similar comparisons with costs per square foot for each space. We ended up in a situation where option A (a much larger space) looked MUCH cheeper at $17/sq.ft, but we ended up going with option B (a small space) at nearly $40/sq.ft. because we just didn't need all the space in option A, and option B was in an office facility where we wouldn't have to buy any additional furniture or appliances like couches, chairs, a coffee maker, fridge, etc. (they were supplied to all tenants in a large common area as part of the cost). So the REAL cost difference to us PER MONTH was about $400 LESS with option B (the smaller more "expensive" space) and came with a lot of extra conveniences to boot.

So in the example given in the article, if you're not using the full 45TB of backup storage space (24 x 2TB in RAID-6), you could actually end up paying significantly more per GB for what you have stored (what you're actually using) - ESPECIALLY when you include the UP FRONT costs of buying and co-locating the server and the maintenance costs that go along with it.

Moral of the story: Just because something LOOKS more expensive per unit doesn't mean it's actually GOING TO BE when it comes to cashflow. ALWAYS do the math for your own situation before making decisions like these.

For $30k, you could get a new Nissan Leaf with ~100 mile range, comparable to the Roadster. For this reason, I don't think your comparison is apt.

But yes, $40k is a lot of money and there are many options--including electric drive.
Don't forget the battery, leave a 'normal' battery through a few months and it's dead. What happens to a normal car once all the fuel is drained? Coolant? Oil?

How did these design flaws make it out of engineering?!

Keep an eye on OpenSMTPD. For a taste, look at the sample configurations at https://calomel.org/opensmtpd.html.

This article didn't sit well with me either. All the examples were completely anecdotal, came from an anonymous source (a "regional service manager"), and there are no citations. Footnote 1 references a "written Tesla report" but that's hardly a citation.

It may be that there is a real issue here, but I would like to see it corroborated by some actual evidence.

Jobs created the Mac, and the iPhone. I just recently went back and re-watched the original iPhone keynote, and I believe this is very much a theme of what he was saying on stage.

Making something new, at world class quality, is incredibly difficult.
There's a big difference between your two scenarios. At the time the iPhone came out, only a very tiny fraction of people had ever owned (or even used) a smartphone. The iPhone's success came because it was able to grow the market, convincing feature-phone users to upgrade to a smartphone. I don't see the same thing happening with nginx. I don't see anyone saying, "Gee wiz, I didn't want to be a sysadmin, but now that I've seen nginx's easy config file syntax, I want to be a sysadmin now."
No hard feelings here either. Have a good day, dear sir.
Yea, there might also be more to this a/b test - they might be targeting users who are somehow prequalified for wallet (not sure how). If they're asking completely random users to enter their cc that would be very surprising.

It's also interesting to note that the primary goal here is cross promoting wallet (vs verifying the users identity).

A natural disaster is a serious problem it deadly impact in the life of a person. Many bad things can happen when a natural disaster strikes you.

I've had a pretty good experience with Internet dating. I've met a lot of women, become really good friends with some, had brief flings and long term girlfriends. They all are deluged with messages from creeps, but that really shouldn't impact men who aren't creeps. Many reject me, but who cares? That's true in general. I dont want life to be softer on me, I just want to go HAM on life. If you're not satisfied with the Internet hit the grocery store checkout line.
This will be an interesting one to monetize without taking away from the simplicity.
It seems this would be a small problem if Tesla informed their owners about it clearly (and adding a decent status display to the car to warn when it's not charging enough/how long until full battery depletion). As it seems now, Tesla owners are liable to the tune of $40K for doing something they don't know is bad.

I find the Japan story really hard to believe: buying a $50K+ car and not bothering to buy an AC transformer to plug it in?
Tesla are a sideshow and we desperately need to stop talking about them, because they're harming efforts to improve energy efficiency.

Nissan are now in full production of the Leaf, a practical electric car that's half the price of the Model S. Renault have the Fluence ZE on sale in Israel and ready to go internationally this year. Mitsubishi are selling the i-MiEV in quantity in Hong Kong and Japan.

All of these big, established car companies are doing it The Right Way - targeting customers who already drive highly efficient city cars. These are customers who predominantly drive short distances and who are used to driving a small car with few luxuries and a relatively low-powered engine. They understand the compromises necessary for efficiency. They're part of a car culture that sees nothing unusual about a 1.2 litre diesel engine or a turbocharged 900cc two-cylinder petrol engine. You can build these people a lightweight, efficient car that they can afford and that they'll be happy to drive.

Tesla are amongst the many upstarts who are doing it The Wrong Way. They're trying to skip the necessary evolutionary steps a customer needs to make before they will be happy with a battery electric car. They're trying to lure people straight from heavy midsize cars and SUV crossovers, which is doomed to failure. These customers just haven't entered the efficiency mentality. They don't realise that efficient cars are noisier because they're not carrying the weight of sound insulation. They're not ready to wind down the window on a hot day to save the energy that AC would use. Tesla are trying to engineer around culture and it's an expensive, flimsy mistake.

Sit it out, lobby congress to mandate improvements in diesel fuel quality and higher fleet efficiency standards, beg manufacturers to send over the clever little engines. Tax or shame SUV drivers into station wagons. Once you hear people describing the Ford Focus as a large family car, you'll know you're ready.

The main government subsidy for efficient automakers that I'd like to see is a commitment to purchase certain numbers of vehicles for federal fleets if they meet specific performance goals (including price). Same thing with state/local (possibly with some federal subsidy of local purchases of more efficient vehicles).

Ideally without specifying how to make them more efficient, just overall cost per expected miles/yr (which would probably give natural gas vehicles the best pricing right now).

since I was unaware:

Tesla S seems to practically cost (with the large battery that still only gets you 300 miles) $70K after a $7.5k tax credit [1] and the Nissan leaf costs $35K but that seems to be before the $7.5k tax credit.

This is a good point, but to use the iPad as an example, "not charging" actually does in most cases charge very slowly. It takes what it can and provided its in standby, this is usually enough to ever so slightly charge. In the on position, it will discharge more slowly than battery alone.

The point is "optimal charge" or "complete destruction of the battery without warning" might not be the only two, or best choices available. "The best we can do with 500 watts" might be a better choice.
