Assuming Tesla PR is correct, then:

1- All modern battery packs, including laptops, have internal management circuitry that, among other things (like controlling charge so that they will not explode) not allow the damn thing to deplete. When 0% charge is reported the battery still has plenty of juice left.

2- With the given parasitic drain, the battery will last for at least a month left at 0% charge

3- If you leave you car at the airport, you kinda expect to be able to get back, so you won't leave the car at 0% when you depart. And even at 0%, you have a month to plug it in

So, barring a zombie apocalypse, what is the expected use-case that actual owners would encounter, to be able to destroy the batteries? It is certainly not normal usage.
Dropbox is an awesome innovation, but IMHO it's a commodity. I don't see any material network effects or major barriers to entry. In that way I think it's very similar to Groupon and I think both will suffer at scale over the years.

Long bet anyone? ;)

Flickr respects the wishes of its users. So?

If they had gone the other way, the headline could be "Flickr allows stealing of artist work".
It does; it's called fair use.
Treadmills Good for Muscle Building
A treadmill is also good for muscle building. Indeed treadmill is good for cardio workout as well as for building muscles. Vince Delmonte also mentions the benefits of treadmills in his program no nonsense muscle building. Treadmill makes the body sweat out the toxins and it also encourages the gastrointestinal tract to eliminate the wastes faster.
Why does the figure have no x (time) axis? Did they triple over a week or 3 years?
Interesting fact: I managed to break the fuel pump on my Ford Ka by running the car for too long with low fuel.

Apparently, some fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel itself. If the level gets too low, it can't dissipate the heat fast enough and the pump fails.

It didn't "brick" right away, but it got increasingly harder to start, because the pump could no longer pressurise que fuel line fast enough.

Hardware companies really have a strong sense of pride in what we create. It's something tangible that goes out the door, and we have to get it right pretty much the first time.

I encourage every software person to work in a company that makes hardware. It broadens ones' experience wonderfully.
Answer to your first question: No. The battery is fine, the stupidity in understanding that Li-ion batteries must never be fully discharged is the only catastrophic failure here.

Why can't I down vote your post? :(

PS: Don't buy any RC model (or diesel engines!), they all suffer from the same "catastrophic failure".
Ah fair use is a defense in court, not something you can trot out in all situations before you get to court.

Secondly, consider the context... how are you going to argue that people have a fair use right to share copyrighted images with the public simply because they want to show what they 'like' on their pinboard?

Allowing that makes a loophole big enough to render pretty much any copyright protection of images null.
It looks like it's becoming a "status quo" document because, for the sake of credibility, noone wants to stand up on copyright, privacy, censorship, and human rights. The "what if someone posts illegal content!?" questions dominate, just like in the Reddit meshnet plan.

We've been having this debate about the Internet for years and decades later, we're still not willing to stand up for the bad speech to save the good speech. (You can't have one without the other -- that's what that amendment was about.)

Yes I think it's that black or white.... Iran has shown us it IS possible to go back to the stone age, and the scary part is, the US and Canada BOTH have a 1984 bill in play as I write.

We've come a long way in terms of technology, but people are less willing to stand up for the free flow of information than ever. We are crawling back into Plato's cave.

As difficult as some information can be (and it's strictly that -- information -- bits -- not murder, or rape, or worse; not a physical act but merely the vapors of physical acts), I think I'd rather have the truth and an open sky than the comfort of a lie.

I'm more afraid of a world without Wikileaks than one with Wikileaks.
I commented above about this, it actually happened to my car. The pump overheated.

There were some natural gas kits sold that would not disable the fuel pump when you switched to gas. Some owners, when running out of gasoline, would switch to the gas. The fuel pump would keep running dry and melt. Something like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WafeVL7IZss/S5VP0fVNvuI/AAAAAAAAJP...

I don't think Rails-style MVC frameworks are going to disappear for a lot of content heavy internet sites, but API first architectures are going to continue to become popular I think. That is part of the reason I built radial https://github.com/RetroMocha/radial

The tooling around rapid API development seems very immature right now, but it's going to keep getting better. Once it is drop dead easy to write API's first, you will see a lot more apps having a HTML5 app, Android app, iOS app, Windows 8 app, Mac app, etc. as more of the standard and less of an edge case.
I've been meaning to get around to reading those notes. A friend of mine also told me about this course: http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~skiena/392/ - taught by Steven Skiena (author of The Algorithm Design Manual).

I wish my university had more courses like this, but for now I'll have to learn from these.

I never really learned anything about pure algorithms in high school, but it seems like quite a bit of people in my program covered the basics at their school. I want to learn more about this style of programming so that I can compete on sites like TopCoder, but I never know where to start. I'm guessing these notes are good, but now I just need to find the time to study the material.
>the US and Canada BOTH have a 1984 bill in play as I write

What bills are you referring to, specifically?
Sorry, I don't quite understand how sending data over public networks and expecting to be monitored (either by government or corporate entities) equates to the rise of the nazis.

Kinda sad to see parallels made between these two on HN.
What do you mean? Please explain.
What does Flickr have to do with Hollywood? They are using a method Pinterest provides so that people can't pin copyrighted content. A feature users who own copyrighted content most likely are happy they implemented.
First a disclaimer, I am a major Python fan. While I don't wish to argue with you, I'd like to share a personal experience that made me realize the advantages of popularity. I began my hobby programming with a language named AutoIt that pretty much no one knows about. This is a Windows scripting language and began to use it to build mainstream software. A couple years into that I realized my mistake and switched to Python. The advantages I gained from using such a popular language were:

1. Tons of 3rd party libraries. AutoIt had nearly none. In Python I use Numpy, PIL, NLTK, OpenCV, and more.

2. The language worked. AutoIt had bugs. At least one bug was part of the language, I found it through coding that would happen in a college level class. Popular languages have bugs too, but they have been tested more thoroughly, and problems are pushed to be fixed more.

3. The language was supported. AutoIt programs were thought to be a virus by my computer. Python on the other hand is even supported by Eclipse, and I have been using PyDev lately.

4. The basic features were good. AutoIt only had a list data structure nothing else. While AutoIt had a lot of specialty functions, there were many more I ended up building from scratch that I should not have needed to. Also, Python has lots of nice features, such as list comprehensions.

5. People knew what I was talking about. Whenever I told people I coded in AutoIt, they were always confused and had no idea what I was saying. I love being able to tell people I am a Python programmer and they are like, hey cool, do you like this feature?

Now AutoIt is an extreme example as I haven't heard of it even on Hacker News so the languages you mention might not have such problems. But I'm guessing some of those problems exist in some form. Just my two cents on a personal experience of how popularity can actually matter in some ways.
Fair use is as much a legal right as copyright protection itself; it's codified in 17 U.S.C. § 107. You don't have to argue before a judge before you can use a work without permission under the fair use doctrine -- thankfully.

A good portion of US law is the "meet these conditions or this protection doesn't apply" type; fair use is no different. We don't go around telling people "don't run user-generated content sites, the Safe Harbor provision of the DMCA is just a defense in court".
Then CC-license your content with the most restrictive CC version (non commercial, no derivative works, attribution required). That’s essentially what Pinterest's "anyone can repost anything that anyone has posted" sharing style is, anyway.

By using the full "all rights reserved/copyrighted" status, you’ve essentially told Flickr and any users viewing your photos that any use of that photo must go through you first.

What if I’m a professional photographer who doesn’t want my photos re-posted everywhere to, in essence, help Pinterest gain users make money? (Rhetorical, by the way; not a pro photographer and most of my photos are under the least restrictive CC-BY license. I personally think photographers could stand to get a lot more exposure via Pinterest.)
I'm British, but I live in California, and I'm eagerly awaiting the day that I can pay monthly for BBC iPlayer (their streaming service). There are sketchy proxy services available, but it feels terrible to be paying a third party and effectively stealing the content.
This is why we can't have nice things; the message is getting overwritten every few seconds by a kids pasting in goatse and jailbait references. wisdom of the collective is neither when one party is overpowering.
Ok, I can't keep track of the chaos.

I don't think of Las Vegas as a place for much startup culture. But it's cheap to live here: buy a cheap house for the price of two months studio rental in SoCal, no income taxes, and if you can have a business reason like the local print shops then it's a nice business opportunity. And the low rent, I think, (and maybe the sales-to-tourists opportunities) leads to a thriving artist culture that could be convenient to tap into. Of course, that cheap house comes with a mandate for some good locks on doors and windows, keep the car in the garage, never leave the house during Summer months.

I guess a hustler might be able to get some Las Vegas Money to "gamble" on their startup to raise some capital, I don't know about that much though.
And they can still use previous versions of VS to develop with XP. It won't stop working, it will gradually fade to governments and big businesses with inertia and businesses who don't want to pay to upgrade.

Then to smaller and smaller niches.

I'm not saying it should die, or it is bad, but that it is old and new tools are not 'insane' to not support it. IE9 came out almost a year ago and doesn't support XP, for example. DirectX vNext in Vista isn't XP compatible.
Straight to the part where:

1) The service is free, so if you're data gets lost, you're out of luck.

2) The government just has to ask nicely to look at the data without a court order.

3) Your data becomes the property of the 3rd party whose service you are using.
Yup, nobody's writing Rails apps anymore.

Very interesting that Reddit could really be emerging as a force for good on the internet...not just a bunch of time-wasting, cry babies. Don't mean to be harsh, but while there is some good stuff, there is a lot of just time-burning stuff.

That being said, if they are able to marshal the productive collective and produce actual legislation that can work - that would be very interesting.

I wonder if legislation ever written by 'non-legislators' has ever been passed into law.

Is that even legal?

Show HN: iPhone prank web app in jQuery
Just wanted to get some feedback on this web app I recently made. I had the idea to recreate the iPhone interface in HTML, and when I got that working, I had the idea to turn it into a prank app, making it really easy to install on someone else's phone without the need of an Apple ID password. In any case, maybe you can save this for April Fools day coming up soon.

Oh, I've got an idea: now that we're approaching a world where cross-browser shit works, let's take the tech that is designed to build on top of that and use it to build shit that doesn't work cross-browser.
I dunno if I agree with this. Yes, the public has rights to the content described and limited by law. No, there is no provision in the law that requires content creators to make copying easy, nor is there any provision preventing them from making it as difficult as they can.

Also, I doubt that all of Pinterest users' use cases are protected. Depending on the proportion, it might be more apt to say that these content owners are proactively protecting their content from unprotected uses, rather than resorting to the courts or DMCA.

Edit: wow, this is an incredibly contentious topic. Never seen this density of downvotes in a thread before.

Agreed.

What bothers me about the “controversy” (“exclusive” link-baiting headline nonwithstanding) here is that Flickr might be the most transparent image sharing website with regards to setting your own content licensing. It’s not like Flickr has pulled a fast one on everyone by suddenly repurposing peoples’ work.

Pinterest was the one that created this opt out, seemingly specifically for the types of content that are explicitly "all rights reserved" in the more restrictive (more meatspace-realistic) sense that Flickr uses on photos flagged as such.

Generally all content implicitly has some sort of rights reserved, but in Flickr’s case the "all rights reserved" option is a conscious decision to pick it. (Or alternatively: to not read the fine print on what licenses you can pick — and who does online, anyway?)

The one knock on Flickr’s CC licensing I recall was a dust-up a few years ago where a CC-BY photo was later used in an advertising campaign unbeknownst to the person photographed or the person who originally posted the picture on Flickr: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/01/technology/01link.html

FWIW, Flickr’s default behavior at the moment (“all rights reserved”) is to protect photographers’ rights and prevent things like that from happening and it’s better IMO to err to that side of caution.
My 3 yr old kids had exactly the same reaction to a nearly identical scenario. Though, we subscribed to cable TV after my father in law threatened to not come visit any more if he couldn't watch his live sports with the clicker...

Publishers/networks are broken. The industry needs something to happen to it like Steam, then Facebook, and finally Apple did to video game publishers. Take the (old) middle men out of the loop. Let content producers "sell" directly to consumers.

I'm not sure about all that.

They could easily respond to an article like "Flickr allows stealing of artist work" by adding "nopin" later.

However, I don't disagree with their intention. It is nice that they are considering the user in that way.

Maybe a better implementation would be for it to be a preference, rather than assuming. They could have an option like "prevent users from posting my photos to other websites".

The reason I'd like to rewrite for now is the fact that what I'm building in Rails is a "typical" app that I work on. So by rewriting this in Node (after finishing the real app, and not releasing the Node version) I'm learning the Node flow to the "typical" apps I'd be working on. If that makes sense.
It seems as though the pinning of a photo on flickr would give the artist more recognition.

Isn't that more helpful than hurtful?
I have a preference for "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" written by John Perry Barlow in 1996:

Things look amazing for FB. Seriously. So many opportunities for growth.

Imagine FB credits at local merchants...
Imagine FB Social Ads for content publishers...
Imagine FB running their own mobile ad network...

Sure, FB is kind of AOL all over again, but this time around FB (unlike AOL) has no intentions of cashing out to some media conglomerate.

Facebook is more like this decade's Google like Google was last decade's Microsoft.
That channel master 4221 is an AWESOME antenna. I didn't have a car when I bought mine, so I had to walk with it for 2 miles to my apartment. I set it up in the closet (which is completely not recommended... multipath, etc., etc.) and still got unreal picture quality on my computer.
You mean the bar that says "Web Clip?" You can turn that off. Mail Settings -> Web Clip tab.
> it makes the process for THEM sending ME a file brain dead simple

That's the greatest feature.

I can configure and use sftp, run nginx to serve that content over http, generate links en masse and send them over e-mail, throw a simple gallery software on top to showcase photos. Dropbox makes it a all just a little easier, just a little better with automatic backup, versioning and shell integration.

But it absolutely kills when it comes to collaborating with people who don't run a Linux server as a hobby. Publishing is easy, sharing is easier, overwritten or mistakenly deleted files are not a problem. It truly just works.

And it's so much better than other solutions. Do you know what many (many!) groups at my university use to share files, notes, previous tests, etc? A shared e-mail account -- an e-mail account to which everyone knows the password. With all the accompanying drama when someone misconfigures their e-mail client and deletes everything while downloading over pop3, or forgets to log out and then everyone can go through their search history.
