A comment that survives the end of the universe? Shit what kind of computer are you using? And more importantly, don't ever let it fall into the hands of a spammer...
I have to agree. I've had apps banned by Twitter just because they let people tweet their scores easily via the API. Looks too much like a Twitter client, boom, your API access is dead.

Wasn't there a successful client on Windows 8 recently, a platform where there wasn't even an official client, and they refused to forgo the API limits on the number of users you can have?

Using the Twitter API is setting yourself up for failure.
There's a known exploit vector for our hearts, but it's been closed as wontfix!
You can request a file on any deceased person, and they'll give it to you in most cases.

Social security numbers of the deceased are also public information. Helps to prevent identity theft issues.
Surely there couldn't have been a Safari update pushed out so quickly.
Backlift seems to be a proprietary implementation - your app runs on their servers.

Am I correct in this assumption? Can you not run your own implementation, e.g. rails?

And dropbox integration before git integration...?

If so, great to know that there's a fix!

The glare of the gorilla glass in the XPS is my concern, and overall screen size is also larger in the X1.
IPS vs the TN panel... I really just want to see them side by side.
Looks like there are a few more pages, but most of it seems to overlap with what Aaron already posted.
Can we discuss this civilly, without resorting to ad-hominem attacks? I'm not drinking Musk-Aid, though that is certainly your implication. I don't fully trust Musk, but there are strange inconsistencies in Broder's account, and his rebuttal to the rebuttal has many statements that are nonsensical[0]. We can't apply our bullshit detectors to only one party.

>Just like the CNN "test" the situation was much different, and the temperature played a significant and undeniable role, so that's an apples-to-oranges comparison

Sure, and the owner's test involved snowy conditions (Broder's drive had clear weather), which generally increases energy consumption. So what? If they repeated the test, but put the car in a refrigerated warehouse at 10F overnight in Groton, would that satisfy you? Can you propose any test that would satisfy you? I don't say this to be combative. It just seems like the goalposts keep moving.

I'd actually love to see a test with the car kept in a freezer, but I don't think the results would be significantly different. In the owner's test I cited above, the remaining range when returning to Milford was greater than the range loss experienced overnight by Broder. The only thing they did differently (besides leaving the heat on while driving) was to fully charge the car before leaving the Milford Supercharger.

>You are choosing clever words here. He chose to follow Tesla's advice, and you can imagine the vitriolic reaction if Broder disobeyed Tesla's advice and ran into trouble.

But that is entirely the point, my friend. Broder sometimes followed Tesla's advice, and sometimes he didn't. Yet he seemingly only followed Tesla's advice when it was bad advice [1]. He ignored Tesla's advice when they gave him good advice[2]. That is precisely why there has been such a strong reaction on HN.

[0] Broder attributes the speed discrepancy to a difference in wheel diameter. That would actually make the speedo read higher, but there's a more fundamental point: The wheel diameter isn't relevant; the tire tread diameter is. There is less than a 0.7% difference in tread circumference between the two wheel options.

[1] For example, let's assert for the sake of argument that Tesla did tell him it was ok to leave the Level 2 charger

[2] Like that he should fully charge at Superchargers
There was two main options

1. Run nginx with something like HAProxy/Varnish infront

2. Run nginx alone with the app server on port 80/443 and the websocket server running on a special port. The app was then proxyed using the built in http_proxy, while the websocket was handled by tcp_proxy.
Reminds me a bit (apocryphal?) of the first test of the atomic bomb at Trinity.

All the famous scientists had put down bets on how big the explosion would be. Edward Teller, IIRC, had a macabre one: it would set off a chain reaction that would ignite the atmosphere through nitrogen and hydrogen fusion.

Calculations were done, and the possibility of it happening was shown to be one in a million. The test went ahead.
This sounds cool, however besides the video there is no explanation of what this actually does.
No hard data, but it's what I've seen the people I know doing. Lately they buy Macs, but when they buy Windows machines, they usually choose the pre-installed Office because it's easier than installing it later.
Operating Systems Need Pervasive Sandboxes
While code will always be buggy, application oriented hacks shouldn't be that damaging.

Our OSs should be doing more to protect us. We should be applying sandbox's across the board.

Yes, it requires us to think a differently about how we construct apps, but there's very little reason my "web browser" needs full access to my computer. In fact, there is zero reason why my banking and general browsing browser sessions should be running in separate sandboxes. They can be the same underlying binaries, but they should be running as separate processes in kernel enforced sandboxes with some OS provided UI sugar to enable to the user to differentiate.

Apps shouldn't be viewed as single programs, but as the collection of programs needed to do a job. your web browser app is firefox, chrome,... + whatever needs to run in its same space (i.e. plugins). You banking browser app might be the same underlying firefox, chrome... but without any of the plugins.

Of course, web browser's also have external helpers for downloaded content (office apps, media viewers...). All one needs is the ability for a program in one sandbox to launch programs in a separate sandbox.

Now, this is a problem, as they can infect that other sandbox (i.e. don't want a malicious PDF forever infecting my PDF viewing sandbox). But here we can have ephemeral sandboxes. Every time firefox hands off a pdf to a viewer, the OS creates a new sandbox instance that is thrown away once it's finished. Even if you do view a malicious file, it's changes it would be thrown away once you stop viewing it

Of course the big elephant in the room is depending on the kernel providing the proper enforcement, the obvious direction an attacker will take is to try an attack the kernel itself from within the sandbox. However, most of these compromises are user level compromises and there's minimal reason our OS's should be allowing them to happen.

Here is the piece by the NYT's public editor, Margaret Sullivan, that is referenced by Tesla:

http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/problems-wi...
I've been playing with browser uploads for a few weeks now (including S3) and was too worried about the complexities of uploading to S3.

I realized that there's nothing really fancy going on when uploading to S3. That's only true since Amazon added CORS support. Just add a few hidden form fields and you're good to go.

Properly populating those fields can be a bit tricky, however. This gem will does a great job and should give you a head start: https://github.com/waynehoover/s3_direct_upload
For those who are curious, here's the NYT article Mr. Musk is talking about: http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/problems-wi...

"[...] I do not believe Mr. Broder hoped the drive would end badly. [...] Did he use good judgment along the way? Not especially. In particular, decisions he made at a crucial juncture – when he recharged the Model S in Norwich, Conn. [...] were certainly instrumental in this saga’s high-drama ending.

In addition, Mr. Broder left himself open to valid criticism by taking what seem to be casual and imprecise notes along the journey, unaware that his every move was being monitored."
lol, well americans and europeans do the same so... how is this news?
oh yeah, americans cant do anything because China is not Irak.... lol :-P
COMPLETELY 100% unscientific, but in my glances and reading of the Django docs I found that they make heavy usage of symbols such as [, ] in code.

I like Ruby's terseness. Fewer keystrokes is a win for me, especially when you have a shit keyboard (pardon my french).

Django feels very CakePHP-y, if that makes any sense?

QUICK DUMB EXAMPLE:

Django:

from django.db import models

class Person(models.Model):
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

Rails:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name
validates :first_name, :length => { :maximum => 30 }
validates :last_name, :length => { :maximum => 30 }
end

Which is simpler to type, ergonomically speaking?
There's plenty of js grids out there that allow you to pass in column definitions. You should try out angular.js, you can build your own directives to support expressions like "grid columns=3"
You can request any deceased individual's SSN application (which includes SSN, address, birth date, parents' names) directly from the SSA with proof of death: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps9/eFOIA-FEWeb/internet/main.jsp
USCYBERCOM is still trying to get its shit together, so to speak. Flamer is a great example of this. We took a bunch of toys that the NSA had laying around (MD5 collision research, a few 0days purchased from defense contractors, etc) and went over to Israel's house to have them show us how to put them into play.
Yep, see EROS and Capsicum.
As pkulak said, Nginx didn't understand the Upgrade header so you couldn't proxy http and ws connections on the same port.

To get around that you had to add either another reverse proxy that did offload ws:// connections or run them on separate ports and deal with issues like corporate firewalls.
I just mean it can be true that the paleo diet existed before, and that it is a current dietary fad.
Probably not 100% convincing, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Turbine_Car:

"Nevertheless, the turbine generated nitrogen oxides and the challenge of limiting them proved an ongoing problem throughout development."

If the amount produced were low, I doubt it "proved an ongoing problem"

Also: https://wpweb2.tepper.cmu.edu/rlang/RenewElec/CEIC_White_Pap...:

"Gas turbines operate best at full-power steady state conditions where they are at their highest fuel and emissions efficiencies. Deviations away from this tuned set point result in significant inefficiencies (particularly with NOx emissions)"
Both cloudbees and apcera co-funded this feature for that reason. Heroku do have a routing mesh with more moving parts than just nginx though - so it will likely be a much harder change for them.
not with the current comment system
> It's also worth considering that the whole paradigm underlying Django and Rails, wherein you render a bunch of HTML with your choice of backend language, may not last forever. With the client side getting heavier over time, the advantages of sharing code across client and server may push the mainstream away from Ruby and Python. Or not. This isn't a prediction; more like a "what if."

From that perspective, one thing that Django has going for it is the Django REST Framework (http://django-rest-framework.org/), which is pretty great. Of course, it's probably the case that Ruby has something similar.
With all due respect HN is not your blog.

This is a major blow to Broder. (Career ending?)

As unlikely as it may be, Imagine he was giving his best effort and his car did act as he wrote. What shitty luck.

One thing is for sure- Reviewing a Tesla is a risky thing to do. Most other car companies wouldn't go out in public to say the review was incompetent/fake/staged.

You're falling into the oversimplification trap. You can lose weight with a low calorie, high carb diet + running 4-5 hours a week. You can also lose weight with a low calorie, high protein/high fat diet + lifting weights 2 hours a week. Which routine is easier to keep?

I think one of the reasons people fail at weight loss is because of the conventional wisdom of low-fat (read: low-flavor) diets combined with low-effectiveness exercises like running. It's pseudo-scientific crock. If you've tried the CW and failed, try something else. Have a couple of slices of bacon instead of that plain breadstick (and avoid the urge to blow your calorie budget by slathering it in butter!) and instead of spending hours on a treadmill do high-intensity weightlifting 3x30 min a week. For your average sedentary Aeron-chair dweller, that's going to be a far more likely path to success.
COBRA is ridiculously expensive. Go on ehealthinsurance and find yourself a plan. You'll be able to get something minimal for cheap and something comprehensive for mostly affordable prices.
"And the winner here clearly is Digg"
Just a note about redaction -- my personal experience with FBI redaction is that it is completely subjective based upon the person who happens to be doing the redaction. There isn't some giant conspiracy to omit facts -- sometimes the person redacts too much, other times they screw up, etc. I've had names redacted on one page, only to appear non-redacted a few pages later. Even in cases where I've sent in death certificates for certain names (I know for a fact who the redacted person is), the name is still redacted in the output. I'm sure it is a very laborious, human process and all such processes involve a lot of errors.
You are right, I am adding some descriptions. Just had a hard deadline for myself which I wanted to make, to get out the MVP finally. So, onto adding contents..

You seem to think I'm suggesting eating less food. I am not.

I am saying people need to eat less calories.

They are not the same thing.

Also, anyone trying to lose weight does not need to be eating in restaurants. Obviously this is very difficult for many people, due to convenience, etc. but I suggest that if people can cut down their restaurant visits by 1 a week, they will likely lose weight.

People here seem to think I was saying the process of losing weight is easy, which I did not say. The method is simple to understand, but the execution is often the most difficult thing many people will do in their lives.

Looks like the price is rising faster than its relative value, in my opinion. This looks like a bubble to me. Unless Bitcoin's value has somehow almost doubled in the past two months. I think I might buy some bitcoins after the bubble pops.
> EDIT: wait what, downvote? For speaking the truth?

Calm your self:) It can happen easily by accident from things like small buttons on mobile devices.

Your comment has a positive score, isn't that enough of a positive signal?
This is a major blow to Broder. (Career ending?)

Is it? Musk again seems petty and vindictive, and he is quite transparently very carefully selecting pieces that essentially pitches to the converted.

The editor gave a very coached response that was hardly the win that Musk seems to think it was.

Is there anything you believe could have helped avoid HN being down in the way it did?

(Sorry to hijack this post; I doubt you'd see this question in the proper HN downtime post.)
For the same height, you get a larger device. Either way, we're stating the obvious: if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for you, it's a good trade. If they don't, it's not.
You have to take the article in context. The author of the post is a partner at a venture capital firm. In VC the only real measure of success is return on investment.
I think the public perception of broder is that hes either:

1) Malicious/Lies to obtain desired result

2) Incompetent

Neither bodes well for him.

Had he not been though this article would have counted against tesla mostly unchallenged. In this case he has forced some concessions from the paper which may make the difference when people are researching the car for possible purchase.

what's the difference between writing this up on a blog and linking to it and just including the content here?
However, only a small fraction of this energy would be available for an interaction with a proton or neutron on Earth, with most of the energy remaining in the form of kinetic energy of the products of the interaction. The effective energy available for such a collision is the square root of double the product of the particle's energy and the mass energy of the proton, which for this particle gives 7.5×1014 eV, roughly 50 times the collision energy of the Large Hadron Collider.

So, still not an issue, but not quite as far from omg collision energy's. And still no where near what can happen in and near black holes.
For a person so obsessed with journalists' accuracy, he is pretty quick to interpret/cherrypick/adjust the public editor's piece in the best possible way for him.
In the short time that I managed to keep up with using Anki, I found it felt most effective to create my own cards using only the specific bits of information that I had to look up in the docs myself, or when I had a fleeting moment of insight about how something worked. The result was a very haphazard deck, but it worked much better than anything I downloaded.
You can do this with ylastic - "scheduled tasks" - it's $25-50/mo (depending on the plan) for managing your whole AWS infrastructure and is basically an alternate WEB UI that autodiscovers your AWS footprint. Has some nice ways to manage autoscaling configurations as well, and also migrating AMIs between regions. I do not work for ylastic or anything but have used it for 2 different clients and used the "scheduled tasks" feature to do periodic backups of EBS volumes just as you've described you'd like to do.
While we're talking about it... I sent in a FOIA request recently, and it came back a few days ago as 404 File Not Found. I previously sent in requests in 2009 and 2010 and never received replies. From talking with others, they claim that these requests should be on a record and that my 2013 request should have returned evidence of my 2009 and 2010 requests. Does anyone have a scoop on this?
No kidding.
"Public Editor agreed that John Broder had “problems with precision and judgment," “took casual and imprecise notes” and made “few conclusions that are unassailable.”"

What was actually written:
"In the matter of the Tesla Model S and its now infamous test drive, there is still plenty to argue about and few conclusions that are unassailable."
yes, though those require things to be seriously rewritten, I'm not convinced this can't work with existing code and putting the changes into the OS itself. Unconvinced apps needs fine grained sandboxing, even if they can benefit from it.
Seems perfectly readable to me.

"Through the window she saw George, a policeman and several onlookers” clearly refers to two people and some onlookers."

No, it doesn't. If anything, I think the use of the Oxford comma would make this more clear (although the most elegant solution is surely just to draft the sentence in a less ambiguous manner).
The vulnerability we fixed is not just entity expansion, it's also accessing external entities. Although this is a DoS vector, I think it's true that it could be used to gain information about the presence or absence of files on the local filesystem, or even potentially information about their contents (given access to the results of XML parsing).
"...as long as it doesn’t alienate it’s core users"
okay, so what instructions were given to Mr Broder prior to his trip? Surely they don't just hand the keys over and say "have fun".

Reading one owner's story it appears there are settings one could use to get more range than standard range, range mode settings to extend the range, and so on. As in, perhaps the people handing the car off should have done a better job at it.

There are still stories from owners of Tesla S cars who have not had the greatest experiences. Any car where it comes down to a comfortable cabin or having the range to reach the next charger screams "work in progress".

I am all for new technology in cars, I just don't think the taxpayer needs to help foot the bill for luxury versions of such.
perhaps i spoke too soon, reading from Part I instead of Part III is much more coherent.

I opened the provided link, read a few paragraphs, scanned the rest of the post, and decided that the post does not contain a complete thought. In my opinion part III (the linked part) is substantially worse than parts I and II and the OP does a severe dis-service by linking the third part directly.

Additionally the math flagged my BS detector, which doesnt say the rest is wrong, but makes me even more wary since this is the only part i have enough facts about to make a complete decision on:

When tf*idf and cosine similarity fail
I have always received responses to every FOIA request. You get an acknowledgement letter with a case number and then comes either documents, rejection, or a "not found" response.
One of the great parts of HN is the subdued conversation. It would be great to have say a Bill Gates AMA without the "Can you give me a million dollars" questions.
Apple dug themselves into a hole with such fixation on static screen size/resolution. They can't do these multitasking innovations because of that.

It seems that Ubuntu has outdone even Windows 8 in that front.

Curious to see this running on some real hardware, because for now it's just a design and software.
This assumes that the government is better at it than private industry.
You're right, thanks for pointing this out. Although (as jacobian mentions) Django's exposure in general to these attacks was quite limited, we still shouldn't describe these XML vulnerabilities as DoS-only.

I'm working on updates to the release announcement and release notes for 1.3.6 and 1.4.4 to make this clearer.
