Using GET to trigger horn honking... Not sure I'd consider that good REST practices.

(At least honking the horn doesn't incur permanent state change; unlocking the doors is obviously not safe.)

Edit: idempotency vs safety... I knew I was being stupid.
Sensational headline.
TL;DR startups fail sometimes.
The primary lesson here is as common sense as it is timeless: "You don't have the money till you have cash in hand." Only a fool would sell a house and move hundreds of miles on little more than promise.
Interesting article, but I've read Leonhard’s book The Art of Maneuver and it does a much better job of explaining all of this and especially putting it in context than Ender's Game does. And includes some very additional interesting ideas such as classifying weapons by what sort of behavior they'll induce in your enemy as the enemy tries to avoid or defeat them.
Those who are rebutting this and Telsa and defending the NY Times need to read Manufacturing Consent.

How Silicon Valley Fosters Plivo's Cloud-Based Telephony
Before getting into web dev I spent a lot of time doing development in C/C++. That code needed to be portable across systems and versions but it was an entirely different kind of portable than we grapple with on the web. For C code we could handle the issue with conditional compilation, build scripts, or dynamic loading.

On the web it's all dynamic; all the code for handling every situation you might encounter comes down to the client when the page loads and you sort out the details at runtime while the user taps their fingers on the table. If there is a large amount of code to fix one specific browser you can break that out and pull it down only for that browser, but the kind of bugs that jQuery works around tend to be of the death-by-a-thousand-little-cuts variety where it just doesn't pay to refactor that way.

Just one comment about the above ... Mindy didn't really support macros and while d2c did, they were relatively broken. And I'm not really sure that there's anyone left in the world that understands all of the details of the macro expander in Open Dylan.

I do think that that chapter of the book made them relatively clear though ... but it might only seem that way to me since I already have a pretty good understanding of them.

Edit: response to your edit:

But we're interested in evolving the language. We're looking at adding an s-expression syntax. Hannes and I are both interested in extensions to the type system. We'd love to see some of our internal macro machinery that is available within the compiler more broadly available. It takes someone identifying something they'd like to do and championing it ... we'd welcome you (or others) to drop by #dylan on Freenode and chat with us.

I've heard stories that Heinz is so defensive of their brand that they send out "Ketchup Inspectors" to make sure restaurants aren't refilling Heinz bottles with lesser ketchup. This is the only somewhat legitimate source that I could find: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1067133/posts

1.3 / 23 is less than 6 percent ROI, and buffet thinks this is a good investment. Granted, they may think the business can be streamlined, but I still think this says a lot about the capital glut that's driving down returns.

Ps: Most of this deal is financed with debt, so there buying 6% ROI with debt.
Sadly, from what I can tell, at least some browser vendors (and more importantly the developers working for them) don't particularly care about whether they pass W3C test suites....
Coming from Germany, my opinion is, that the question is, which lobby is the strongest at the moment, these laws are conceived.

The EU is (imho) not really much more, than an undemocratic playing field for industrial lobbies. Nearly nobody cares for the EU parliament (the only elected body in the EU).

If some countries have a strong law in some cases - and can convince (or blackmail) others, to go the same route - good for everybody, when it comes EU-"law". But if the EU goes the pro industry, contra people-way... bad for everybody.

Just my two cents, after watching for more then ten years and seeing this stuff happen again and again...
You're looking at the cost of production, and then the price and assuming that all of the space between the two is profit, and seem to be implying that somehow it is a ripoff.

What you're not considering is the value to the customer.

The incremental cost of a copy of Microsoft Office (with electronic delivery they cut out virtually all of their manufacturing cost) is close to zero. Probably 12p as well.

Yet Microsoft sells that Office Suite for $99 or much much more.

If the value of one copy of that office suite to a company is $10,000 in improved efficiency (eg: salaries saved by not having to pay overtime or hire as many people-- remember when spreadsheets were physical sheets of paper and companies had staffs of dozens of women whose sole job was to type up correspondence on typewriters?) then they are "profiting" even more than Microsoft is because the spread is wider.

Further, manufacturing costs are only one part of the costs of a product. Yes there's marketing, and advertising which you may hate, but there's also the offices that house the workers that run the company, the royalties paid to people who generate formulations, the taxes paid to the government, the manifold fees, costs, and expenses involved in running a business. All of these raise the actual "cost" from above the 12p manufacturing (and delivery costs I assume you included.)

For me, the value of buying a brand that has reliable quality control is often pretty high.

If a high quality bottle of ketchup elevates the satisfaction of an inexpensive meal (say fish & chips) to the point where it is on par with a much more expensive meal, like those workers using office, I may be getting more "profit" out of the transaction than the company.

This is how I use ketchup. It means I eat out less, and spend less on food and have a higher quality of life.
Yeah, it was all over WSJ a while back. Something to do with adwords and advertising for illegal drugs, hormones or something. Top execs knew but Google paid a fine and they escaped.
I am not sure I would be smacking the reporter around as they are. What stands out to me is, here we have a 100k car that we cannot run the heat and get good range out of. Here we have a 100k car that if don't drive at some contrived speeds while keeping the climate control down low we cannot get good range out of.

Frankly, if I cannot drive a car at a comfortable temperature the car or the technology behind it is not ready for prime time.

I am still curious what the user is displayed versus what is in all these logs. We also have other stories linked in the original thread of other Tesla S drivers who had range issues as well.

Musk is not doing his brand any service especially when he highlights the user only operating the interior climate control in the low seventies, really you mean we cannot do that with a 100k car and have good range? Really?

Its a matter of expectations. With a 30 to 40k car similar to the Focus EV or Leaf people will expect limitations of this sort, for a 100k car people expect it to just work.

In praise of the pass phrase
That, in itself, highlights the crucial difference between an anecdote and data. Journalists as a general rule over-emphasize an anecdotal view of the world at the expense of an evidence-based view.
Long ago I had to maintain someone else's 250,000 line C program. It contained a single comment:

I never found out if this was a description of what followed or an admonishment to the code itself.

They declassified a lot of it a couple of years ago, I saw a good documentary on what was going on there. They had pictures of the crash site clean-up and everything (it was an Angel or Blackbird that crashed iirc, which does agree with the reports of a strange, not seen before material)
You'd have some sort of error threshold/rate limit[1] at which point the server is marked dead and falls out of the backends list, surely?

Or even, an alarm threshold if responses are averaging /too fast/, based on your expected load & response times.

I've not done any deployment/ops beyond hte trivial/theoretical though, so I don't know how this would work in reality.
Who in their right mind, specially someone who is reportedly a climate and energy expert, would think braking recharges the car?

edit: recharge as in having a net gain of energy. Even if you roll down a 3-mile mountain with the brakes pushed, you'd only be recovering energy spent on the way up, minus losses.
I will admit my bias: paying NYT subscriber, here.

The article has two main issues:

Nagging to install an app: yes, I hate this also. Quota, Techcrunch, etc. have been pretty bad about this.

NYT trying to pay for 300+ staff: reasonable. I sometimes use their app and sometime just use the email news summary they send me every morning. Works well for me.
In my opinion, a damning comment in the journalists rebuttal causes him to lose all credibility on it's own.
"Mr. Musk has referred to a “long detour” on my trip. He is apparently referring to a brief stop in Manhattan on my way to Connecticut that, according to Google Maps, added precisely two miles to the overall distance traveled from the Delaware Supercharger to Milford (202 miles with the stop versus 200 miles had I taken the George Washington Bridge instead of the Lincoln Tunnel)."

Anyone who has driven this trip knows that a "2 mile detour" into Manhattan will cost them an hour+ of their lives, and a quarter of their soul, much less a stop and go hell ride. A true testament to his disinginuity is his pretending to think that stop and go is more efficient than highway mileage. He has no place as an energy reporter unless acting as a shill.
Code comments are my guilty pleasure. Like texts from last night for nerds. I don't care if they're fake, they're entertaining to me. But I desperately hope deep down some of them are real. Like Santa.

Unlocking doors absolutely is idempotent. What different state would you see if you issue Unlock once or a thousand times?
This glowing report — based on a single dose of a naturally occurring, non-addictive, low-toxicity substance — sounds impossible. Surely one pill can’t succeed where months of traditional psychotherapy and antidepressants usually fail. According to science, that’s not how drugs work. It’s foreign to the model.

Really? Have people consumed so much lack of common sense kool-aid that they believe humans know better than the Earth? From a purely birkenstockian point of view, it should be obvious that these naturally occurring things are there to help us. Why else would endless species of plants/fungi/etc. happen to be hanging out at our feet?

The mistake we've made is that we're too skeptical. Instead of believing in what's right in front of us, we choose synthesized drugs and the ideals of people no more keyed into existence than you or I.

Be aware of what's around you and learn about why most of what they say is harmful or "illegal" isn't and shouldn't be. Start with marijuana.

The 'unlock' operation, at least on most central locking systems I've used, is the perfect example of an idempotent unary operation.

It doesn't matter how many times you apply the 'unlock' operation, it has the same effect as applying it once[1]. However, the 'unlock' operation is not safe[2].

The initial subscribe can take as many as 10 days, too. The initial confirmation (opt-in verification) is immediate because that's part of the server where you subscribed, but the distribution (as already explained) happens elsewhere and requires a sync of the updated list (subscribes and unsubscribes) to the distribution service.
> . He sees 50 miles. On a digital display at a hotel at night, he misreads the 5 as a 9, and this fits with his expectation

Actually, I don't think he misread anything, I think it genuinely did read 90 miles exactly like he said it did. Look at the graph on the blog post: http://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/blog_images/r... At the 400 mile mark, right where he stopped for the night, there's an abrupt vertical drop from 90 miles remaining to 20 miles remaining, which exactly matches the journalist's claims.
Does Tesla describe it as a RESTful API, though? By the looks of things, the author has discovered it and decided to call it RESTful himself, even though it's just an HTTP API.

A RESTful API is more than just using GET to access resources.
Jalopnik points out that the alleged driving "around in circles" at Milford isn't automatically nefarious, given the supercharger's geographic location:

> * Note that the Milford station is on an off-ramp and it isn't at all small. A single loop around the station is nearly a 1/3rd of a mile, and if you make a wrong turn (or even hunt for the charger) and make one turn around you're at 1/2 mile.*

Glad to see this piece. Talking to customers and making targeted, timely improvements has been a key focus of work here. We'll be keeping it up!
Yeah, I considered not carrying the wireless-entry key for my car, because if I lost that key, it would be easy for a thief to walk through the parking lot, pushing the button until they found my car.

Ultimately, I decided that I'm unlikely to lose the key. But I don't like the idea that someone could still scan the parking lot, unlocking cars by radio.

Opening up more data/control wirelessly isn't necessarily a good thing. You CERTAINLY don't want someone to be able to make your car segfault while you're driving down the highway.

Not sure what you mean as "empty threat".

If you try to get on an airplane with airline permission but without TSA search ("no thank you, I don't want to walk thru the metal detector, I don't want a pat down, I don't want to go in the weird radiation booth, I'm just going to get on the plane now"), they WILL arrest you. If you refuse the search and attempt to leave, they might not arrest you, but they will threaten criminal charges and very well may follow through on them.

Not empty threats by low-level agents. Systemic policy. Try it and show me I'm wrong.

The one exception is airplanes carrying 9 or fewer people: those are not subject to governmental interference (a la TSA). Many small airlines feature such planes precisely as a way to avoid unwarranted* search. If you find one offering airfare anywhere close to major airline prices (or the price of just driving to destination), let me know - seems they run about $1000/hr. I'd be surprised if TSA wasn't trying hard to get jurisdiction over those too.

(* - by "unwarranted" I mean "without adjudicated written approval by a court in response to presentable evidence regarding particular persons, items, locations, and circumstances"; the common "because one in a billion passengers might try to crash a plane" is inadequate.)
It's over 3G for now. There is wifi hardware in the car, but they haven't built out an interface for it yet.

All Model S's come with 3 months of cell service and they will be offering data plans shortly. It's running on AT&T, so we should be able to add it to Mobile Share plans (which I plan to do).

Rather well actually. It's funny how short some peoples memories are, but netbooks were very well received.

Popular enough that Intel rushed through some low powered x86 designs for fear of ARM taking off.

Popular enough that Microsoft rushed through changes to Windows XP (both in terms of software code and licensing) for fear of Linux taking off.

In fact they were so successful that complaints were often made against Apple for having no such device (this of course was before the MacBook Air and iPad. Neither of which are netbooks -obviously- but between the two they covered enough of the form factor to keep most of the complainer quiet).

Granted the demand for netbooks have since fizzled out, but they were hugely successful at the time and did the start of the popularisation of users switching away from heavy "powerhouse" hardware to more portable devices for lighter work loads. Credit for which belongs largely to ASUS and the EeePC, which was basically the first consumer netbook - though similar hardware was being built by the One Laptop Per Child scheme - amongst others.

It's also worth noting that ASUS never sued Acer and other OEMs over pathetic design patents over netbooks. And how Diamond Multimedia never sued Apple over portable music players (one could argue the original iPod shared a lot of similarities with the Rio PMP00[1]).
