Here is my thought on the matter:

The reporter's behaviors are indeed consistent with what he claims he was told by Tesla when he called them during the journey. If the car manufacturer told me that regenerative braking can help extend the mileage, as dumb as it sounds I absolutely would repeatedly brake the car. I'm not an expert in electric vehicles, and if the company is telling me this is good for the car I wouldn't be in a position to refute it (especially under duress).

This is why I want to see the logs of the conversations. If the guy is running low, calls tesla and they say its not an issue, I can't blame him for malice. If he intentionally misdiagnosed the situation and presented it in a way that he would have received the advice he got, then we could blame him for malice (and it would be apparent from the log)

On the driver side, I'm surprised he didn't stop and take photos of the dashboard showing the range drop (especially if he thought it wasn't normal). I do this all the time (taking a picture of the dash, including odometer and fuel level) because I park in garages and I've noticed that, every once in a while, I'll come back and see the gas levels fall much more than expected.
I consider myself an expert in Ruby style and best practices. And I have never and would never write code that uses `eval`, outside of toy projects.

There are probably ways you can use it safely. But it's not worth the risk.
At what point do you stop providing the service (or allowing the deadbeat client to continue to get the benefit of the previously provided service)? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year?

The TV signal issue - how many "you didn't pay" emails and phone calls and written bills did they get before it was turned off? And consider this - if the TV just went dead, people would be calling/complaining "my service is dead!" This is a faster way of telling them why it's dead. The fact that someone was broadcasting to their customers was their own fault if they got embarrassed by it. I would hazard to guess they were probably only licensed for one set, and they were splitting/copying the signal to multiple TVs as well.
All cars, including the Tesla, will run for awhile after the meter tells you "zero." But when you nonetheless run out of gas at some point after hitting that mark, you blame yourself not the car.
> The founders are farmers.

Then how do they have time for starting a company?
My point is such that a "time bomb" of sorts would not be necessitated if the developer makes sufficient efforts to protect him/herself with good business practices.

That same client who pays on time and upholds his end of the agreement is left at risk through no fault of his own. Just doesn't seem fair in my opinion.

Will a dispute happen even with well authored contracts and business plans? Absolutely, but properly scoping the work, delivering to a schedule and keeping open communication with the client will greatly minimize that risk.

I didn't have that link, and that pretty well backs your point. I know proving a negative is next to impossible, but I figured that you'd have a reason for making the assertion 9which I wanted to know). The closest I can find to a study of bcrypt/scrypt is:

A note on how gerrymandering works:

In a perfectly gerrymandered system, the party in power can win using only 25.1% of the vote - and that's if all districts have equal population. You can get by with even less if the districts have imbalanced populations. In that "perfect" system, you draw the districts so that your detractors are 100% of the population in the districts you know that you're going to lose, and your supporters are 50.1% of the population in the ares you want to win.

In real life, of course, it's messier and you can't draw the lines quite so perfectly, but here's a link to the districts near Chicago - look how oddly-shaped they are, especially as you get closer to the city center. (They'll probably change again next election season, doubly so if the other party gets control.) http://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/IL
That's elegant.

So, OP, I have to know: did you come up with the synced seed first and then try to build an idea around it, or did the idea of simultaneous, server-less, auto-generated endearments drive you to this solution?
"let's assume no technical knowledge on the part of the customer. Therefore, the time bomb is never discovered"

That is a big assumption to make. Just because the customer is not technical does not necessarily mean that time bomb could not be discovered at some point in future. Probability might be low but you can never be 100% sure.

Ask HN: Any insight into which web app I should develop next
Hi,
GOOD: I have the luxury of spending the next 3 months on developing a web app.
BAD: I have no idea what i should develop.

Im trying to learn from my mistakes. A few years ago I built a photosharing website. I shut that site down as I just couldnt get enough paying accounts.
Now I understand that it makes more sense to build an app that caters towards small businesses as they would be more willing to spend on an app if it helps them generate more money.

The problem is I dont have any idea what I should be building. Should I start a: "issue tracker", "project managment app", "proposal creation app"...

I would appreciate any thoughts or insights you may have.
My monetary goal: generate approx $5,000 a month in revenue.

The killer feature is that nontechnical Mac and Windows users can click a link emailed from anyone on their team who is already using the app, and get seamless group chat across platforms, without calling the IT department to set up a server and/or open firewall ports, or committing someone on the team to managing anything XMPP-related. It just works.

Even Linux folks can participate with additional work (e.g. dozens of packages to install if you're running Ubuntu 64, since Adobe AIR is 32-bit only; annoying).

That said, I agree that the barrier to entry is pretty low.
Yeah if you can't collect your invoice then collecting your judgment might also be a challenge. Unfortunately there is no real property involved to which a mechanic's lien could be attached. This is probably the best thing this guy could have done short of getting paid up front, or setting up some sort of escrow.
Bill to open access to most (US) federally funded research
There's an old wobbly story: A wobbly was riding a freight train across the midwest one summer, in between jobs. The train sided out in the middle of nowhere, and it was scorching hot, so the wobbly got off the train and started walking down a dirt road.

After a couple of miles, the road passed by an apple orchard. The wobbly hopped over the fence, and sat down to rest under the shade of a big apple tree.

The wobbly sat there enjoying the shade for 20 minutes, until a farmer came across him. "You can't be here!" exclaimed the farmer, "This is my land!"

The wobbly looked up at the farmer and asked "Really? What makes it your land?"

"What are you talking about you dirty tramp, I inherited it from my father!" replied the farmer, almost bewildered at such an indignant question.

"Hmm, and what made it his land?" asked the wobbly.

"Why, he inherited it from his father!" replied the farmer, now really angry. "It's been in my family for three generations!"

"And what made it your grandfather's land?" asked the wobbly.

The farmer, now barely able to contain himself, yelled proudly "Why! My grandpappy fought the indians for it!"

The wobbly nodded, stood up, pulled back his sleeves, and replied "Uh huh. Then I'll fight you for it, right now."

The point being that a lot of these conceptions about who belongs and who doesn't are based on private property, but that there fundamentally isn't any real justification for private property. Even John Locke's attempts to justify it break down.

I can understand two groups being in conflict with each-other, but I can't understand conceptualizing one as the "guests" of the other group simply because they don't own property.

Watch it again and look closely at how the video focuses on the woman the entire time. She's child-like and the only one who seems emotionally involved in the relationship… but in almost exclusively passive way. (All the dude does is smirk for a fraction of a second when something "nice" occurs.)

Every interaction focuses on her. She kisses him on the cheek; he just looks at the camera. She kisses his picture during the "shaving" scene. She watches him walk down the street and talk at her on video… the only personal expression element of the "story" is his. She simply receives it. When she's upset, the focus is on what he does to her — the arm, the drawing, she receives the apology but never participates in a make-up.

It looks like the boyfriend is a prop. But the joke is it's that the woman, the focus of everything, is the prop, because it's from the boyfriend's PoV and she's just this super-emo recipient of his actions. Except when she's delivering outsized love he doesn't return (omg! the fawning! the kissing! the posing! the crying! all while he looks on and, if he expresses any emotion, just a smirk).

And if you don't believe about the childlike thing, it's capped by the scene at the end where she's hiding under a sheet with one stripey sock sticking out, a direct echo of "kids reading under the covers when the lights are out." No adult does that.

So: the video is assuming you, the male viewer, are a narcissist (everything is about you, and ps, you don't have access to real feelings), and that the object of your affection (not "girlfriend" because that implies a two-way street) is a baby.

This video is insulting to everyone. Sheesh!

Elon Musk Defends Tesla, Says the Times Mistreated His Car

You're missing a part of the article (that supports your point) - here's a paste of two paragraphs straight from the article

---

Tesla’s experts said that pumping in a little energy would help restore the power lost overnight as a result of the cold weather, and after an hour they cleared me to resume the trip to Milford.

Looking back, I should have bought a membership to Butch’s and spent a few hours there while the car charged. The displayed range never reached the number of miles remaining to Milford, and as I limped along at about 45 miles per hour I saw increasingly dire dashboard warnings to recharge immediately. Mr. Merendino, the product planner, found an E.V. charging station about five miles away.

---

He clearly states that the displayed range never reached the distance to Milford, and that he (essentially) ignored warnings to recharge. Nevertheless, the Tesla employee he spoke to cleared him to resume the journey.

There's a lot of nonsense being thrown around here, but THIS is where the stall occurred. It would be great to see a call log, if one was available - did Mr. Broder clearly state when he was cleared that the displayed range was not sufficient to meet Milford and did the Tesla employee clear him to go despite this? Was he cleared, with the Tesla employee assuming mileage was sufficient, and Mr. Broder chose not to correct this assumption?

I've seen a lot of people drive around with their 'check engine' light permanently lit up. This is because somebody told them it's ok, that it means their fuel cap is a little loose but it's not a problem, or whatever other reason that isn't serious. If the Tesla employee was aware of the displayed range and still cleared Mr. Broder's departure, then the 'correct' party in this case seems obvious, and his behavior is not in any way unusual.
There certainly is a contract, even if it was oral, the question is what were the terms of the contract. Likely there were no terms dealing with what happens if there is no payment.

I've got a stupid question. Why doesn't some impartial soul(s), try to recreate exact conditions as Broder describes them in the article? Tell Tesla what you will do, film your trip there. If their experience doesn't match Broder's they should just abuse the car until they recreate the exact condition Broder ended up.

I'm torn.† On the one hand, it sends a "jury is out" message on modern password hashing in general. On the other hand, developers already handwave about "bcrypt not having gotten enough cryptographic review", as if someone was ever going to publish a cryptanalytic result showing bcrypt to be worse than SHA1.

I'd have liked the jury to have been back on this last decade, but I'll settle for it being in next year.

By the way, the construction you're looking for is scrypt.

† I'm not really torn.
Far from having to give more information if anything you could give far less. Post office of other physical trusted source would have that and issue a reset code that would be validated via the trusted route to the post office.

So for example. You create a login to this site, you give usual stuff and in the password reset options register a unique ID number that would be issues by the post office and any rests of passwords and indeed verification could be handeled via a external source in this case the post office who can offer a physical verification as and when needed. Sites would have to support such things but in a day when we have official identification for physical verification of who we are then digitaly it all boild down to trust.
Certainly when you have to reset a password you are in a situation which the site may have many ways to verify you and that is done by taking more information than they need sometimes. So in effect a form of national ID card that would be to the people advantage and allow them to protect themselfs if they forget passwords is certainly one solution.

But the whole area of verifiying a user who has forgoten there password is one of those problems that really has no magic solution without the site holding more information than they need to hold. The option at least to have a secure/trusted 3rd party able to do that verification and issue a new password or token that can be used to obtain a new password is certainly a solution.

But as for the website having real user details, that would not be so, they would have number which could be one of many the user has and with that nothing more than they get now from a IP or MAC or email address and in many respects the ability to protect there anomanimity with website far greater than they have now. Sure the authorities would be able to know who is who, fake name/deatils on websites or not, but they can do that already. Certainly having the option instead of not for many would be a solution they would prefer.

So in short, no you wont be handing website private information, if anything you would offer them less.

Oh that is sweet! Google was finally waking up to the patent reality after 2007 and encouraging folks to file patents on their projects. (I've got one filed for a laser pen pointer toting telepresence robot somewhere out there) It looks like Jeff took his ideas and sent them into the patent guys who dutifully filed them and voila, "invention" of ChromeOS without having written a single line of code of it :-)

Reading through the claims it does look like ChromeOS uses those concepts so I guess Jeff gets the last laugh after all.
It's _Sponsored_ Tweets and _Sponsored_ Stories. It's not the same word, but "sponsored" means that it's advertising. Even "Promoted Stories" would be fine, still means the same thing. "Reommended content" is something totally different.

The Amazon example doesn't apply at all, as its internal linking to products. External advertising is clearly labeled as such on Amazon, too.

Disqus shows their advertising on a site of a different person. This changes a lot and makes this especially nasty.
So part of the problem is their alternatives to capitalism. Which are mostly primitivist (as in, destroy infrastructure) communist (in the central planning, grey way depicted in i.e. The Dispossessed) or just kinda goofy. As a lifestyle choice, living off the refuse of a bloated and exorbitant society is actually quite sustainable until you need serious healthcare. As something for everybody to do, a new way of governing, it fails because there will be no society from which to absorb the waste. I think efforts to establish autonomous, non-hierarchal, consensus-based organizations or communities within capitalism is awesome. But ultimately, seven billion people are never going to form some totally sweet Zapatista-style worldwide commune. At that scale, the markets are going to be at work. Capitalism is inevitable.

My perspective is that appropriate solutions to this problem involve taxing externalities (pollution, murderous working conditions that cost society), and reducing the cronyism and corruption that breaks capitalism. Also deciding as a society that we are better off if people are not involuntarily homeless or hungry or dying and agreeing on a social contract to provide welfare.

I want to make the world a better place, so I choose to work on making more, better, cheaper, smarter education available to everyone everywhere. And from society's perspective, this is actually a good investment because it increases human capital and also reduces future costs (as educated folks have fewer kids).

I love communist farms and kibbutzim and I can absolutely imagine living on one and participating in one of those societies. And if you hate capitalism, that's a good way to protect yourself from it. But the farms and kibbutzim themselves are still participants in a larger capitalist system.
That wouldn't work for me as a client: I've dealt wit scummy freelancers, too.

You could consider going through an agency- one that offers the ability to (1) escrow money, (2) keep a written record of agreements, and (3) provide mediation. There are costs to this, but, at least until you trust each other, they may be the way to go.
