Not worthless, just worth less. If I buy a product/service, I felt my money had less worth than what I was buying and the provider held the opposite stance.
My apologies. I assumed the journalist test-driving a car for the NYT automotive section was an automotive journalist. Nevertheless, the "professionally trained to notice things accurately" applies generally to the fact that he's a journalist.

Chrome devs deny Jeff Nelson's role in the creation of Chrome OS
This article is slightly dubious. I have done a lot of work for IBM, they have been a great client, I admit that, that fact may bias me a bit but from my perspective, what IBM has been doing is reducing permanent workforce with contract labor, that can be scaled up and down on a per-project basis. Is it a cost cutting measure? sure. Does it mean that Americans are loosing jobs? no. But it is easy to skew the numbers when you only show that IBM is shedding jobs. But when it is all tallied some of those jobs are being replaced with US based contract labor. This is the reality of the US technical workforce many times after a project you just don't need specific technical talent. The workers don't want to pasture and the employers don't want to carry them until they have work they can utilize them on. My experience is IBM has been moving to an on-demand workforce model. Their is no doubt that some of that is moving offshore but without mentioning the upswing in US based contractors the article does not paint the whole picture. Another fact not mentioned but that I hear from many IBM'ers turned freelancer is their average take home is higher in this model because IBM is willing to pay higher rates to only have to engage when the deals are inked.

There is a whole argument to be made about their ability to retain really talented individuals with this model, but it's just not the market they service.
I see some criticisms (that I agree with) of the "security" model here.

Implementing the self destruction protection on the client is problematic (even in the case of SnapChat) because the end user is in control of the client. So if users are motivated enough they'll be able to circumvent any protections you implement.

The nice thing is that most users are not motivated enough to do what's necessary to retrieve the self-destructing messages. It's a lot easier to save the message when sent to a web client but it's still beyond the ability of most users.

So no these applications aren't providing real security but it's close enough for the types of messages that I assume people are sending.
You could also record all of your phone conversations and copy all of your off-the-record gchats into text documents, couldn't you? The point isn't for this to be absolutely foolproof, but rather that when you have a somewhat sensitive conversation with someone you trust, you can have some peace of mind that there won't be a hard record of what you are saying.

> He also states that the reason he proceeded in the morning with just a 32 mile range is that "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." In other words, Tesla TOLD HIM TO. Musk does not refute this.

To quote from Musk:

"The final leg of his trip was 61 miles and yet he disconnected the charge cable when the range display stated 32 miles. He did so expressly against the advice of Tesla personnel and in obvious violation of common sense."

I'd say that is a refutation.

You keep talking about the 'value' of products and what they're 'worth'.

Things are worth what people will pay for them. As nirvana pointed out, looking at only the marginal production cost of something is highly misleading. Heinz makes about 36% gross margins [1], which is certainly good, but it's not as if they're seeing the 'value' of that '10x' markup. And lest you think the rest of their cost is advertising to fool people into spending too much on ketchup, their total marketing (not just ads) budget is only a few hundred million[2] (at least as of 2006) vs total revenue of over $10B.

I have found the same thing about Kraft in Philly.
The OP is assuming it is a ripoff because you can buy other producers ketchup for half the price of "brand-name" Heinz ketchup. I doubt many people would tell the difference between Heinz and something else in a double-blind test. And if they can it is because the better tasting ketchup contains more sugar which anyway is bad. Same thing with jeans, you cant see the difference (unless they have the brand printed on them) so buying Levi's is a waste of money.

Those kinds of offers are generally unusable if the bandwidth matters. This goes back to the oversubscription model, selling the same resource to multiple customers and letting the customers jockey for use, hoping most will never use it enough to catch on.

See this thread for more:

— http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1159276&p...

Note this analysis:

“The FDC offer is a shared 10 Gbps and i believe in another topic was explained, that you're supposed to stay at 1 to 1.5 Gbps usage. Even a pure 10Gbps peering port will cost more then $500,- / month, so a true 10 Gbps for anywhere close to $500,- cannot be expected from any provider worldwide.”

And about the actual usable bandwidth:

“I always found this to be a problem with all FDC locations. So many places have such horrible speeds that no matter what speed they offer, I have a hard time making a good use of it.”

Another comment:

“The server is great. The single-thread transfer speed isn't as much, but it's reasonably passable most of the time, considering the server cost. But I've been seeing some severe routing problems, with 5-10% of the net simply being unroutable much of the time, as well as intermittent packet loss. Due to this, the overall fail rate of this server is about 10x that of other servers I have in NL.”

If you're running an ad supported viral image host and can fit your popular content in RAM, this kind of thing may be acceptable, though in the long run users will tend to migrate to image hosts that serve their memes quickly.

TL;DR: Not all bandwidth is equal. You get what you pay for and what your provider pays for.

> North Korea is at the end state of socialism.

North Korea isn't even close to socialist. Workers in NK do not have control over their output and the gov't is controlled by a core group of insiders.

> Once you accept that you're owned by "society", and that everyone is "responsible for the greater good" this is inevitably what you end up with.

Socialism doesn't say that you are owned by society at large and stating there is a responsibility for individuals to their society does not mean that you end up with a totalitarian police state.

> You see these same mechanisms happening here in america today-- people claiming that "health care is a right" which is essentially saying they have the right to enslave everyone else for their own benefit.

This makes no sense, no advocate for health care reform, even universal health care advocates, are saying that people should be enslaved.

> Pair the idea that you have a "right" to make others pay for healthcare (and other things) with the claim by these same people that you don't have a right to self defense (eg: own guns.) The latter is even in the constituttion.

Gun control advocates do not argue that you do not have a right to self defense or even gun ownership, but rather that there can be reasonable regulation on gun ownership.

> And when americans are being herded into camps, long disarmed, and forced to work "from each according to his ability to each according to his needs".... they will wish they still had guns.

I'm assuming the americans you are referring to are white americans, considering the history of herding people of other races into camps and removing their rights to self determination.

> Schools teach people to be compliant little sheep and have done so for over a century, there's a distinct connection between government control over schools and lack of critical thinking in the populace.

While I agree that public school systems in the US have issues with being politicized and propagandist, some people from the school system do learn critical thinking skills or have those skills enhanced from going to school, so you'll need to offer more argument/evidence to say there is a direct link.

> Unless things turn around soon, the US will end up in some sort of terrible state. Not likely like North Korea or Nazi germany or the USSR, but we already are suffering from the economic destruction of these kinds of policies (and like NK citizens told to blame the US for their poverty, we're told to blame wall street, germans were told to blame jews, russians were told to blame "hoarders", etc. etc. etc.)

The US is suffering economic destruction not from socialist policies, but rather capitalistic policies that seek to dismantle social safety nets and increase wealth disparity. That those policies are now affecting the (mostly) white middle class more compared to people of color (who have been affected by these policies for decades, if not centuries) doesn't mean that we've taken the same path to ruin as NK or the USSR.
Considering this is for a vehicle that never came close to working in its prototype form and was based on an ill-conceived fascination with a saucer design that required it to be nothing but an ensemble of jet engines with thrust redirection required in every direction it makes one wonder how anything ever gets released to the public.

Yep, my first own computer was an Atari ST plus 20MB hard disk (probably the same setup as described in the article). IIRC it was 1800 DM for the computer and the disk each, i.e. ˜1800 Euro total in todays money or ˜3600 Euro total when adjusted for inflation.
The positive side is: I can justify that it is reasonable to still spend that amount today.

Fun read. Though, at least here in the US, the 520 was the first ST and the 260ST was a very limited run that came after the 520. I think the 260 was intended for the European market, but I still believe it was released after the 520 as a lower-cost alternative.

I personally had a 520STFM and then a 1040STE. Fantastic computers for their time.

> Reporter never said he fully charged it, and didn't have any reason to if the range gauge was accurate. Musk is basically saying the reporter should have been worried about the range and overcompensated.

My car doesn't have 'range'. That said when the fuel light is on I go to the petrol station. Similarly I know a drive to my parents is about half a tank. If I have less than that I put in the required amount of fuel to make it. If fuel looks like it getting low I get off the main road and look for a service station. Common sense.

If I was driving a car for the first time, was unfamiliar with my route or the presence of charging stations I wouldn't trust the range. Range is always an estimate. What if I hit traffic? I don't want the exact range because if I get stuck in an hour of slow moving traffic I am buggered. Its the same with petrol cars. Its the same with guestimating how far you can go on your fuel tank. You cannot defend idiocy.

> Seems odd they lent him a car for a test drive then.

What better way to demonstrate Supercharger tech than in a real world scenario. Drive the car, get it low, look how well it recharges to get you going again. (I assume Supercharger relates to the speed of charging) My impression of Electric cars is that take overnight to charge. Giving a car which charges in an hour would be a good way to demonstrate both the technology and the improvements in the practicalities of electric cars.

putting it on github might [will] get you more bug reports and small patches, but you're looking for a release manager and general owner. you want someone who cares. if they care, then where it is doesn't make much difference.

so i don't think it's going to be a big help right now. it would make more sense for the new owner (if/when you find one) to do it... your time would be better spent trying to find that special someone. do you have any way to contact existing users? emails? could you put a pop-up in the next release?

>This post makes me want to reconsider a Model S as my next car."

Really? I had the opposite reaction.

Let's assume the the Times lied about everything, and we only consider Tesla's words. Look at the instructions he was to follow, "Drive like this, turn off this, don't do this, charge here for an HOUR".

That seems like a lot of consideration, and the thing costs $100k? No thanks. It's cool, and it may be the future, but the technology seems over-hyped for daily use.

Think about gchat's off-the-record feature. Anyone can copy and paste an entire conversation, but the thing is, most people aren't motivated enough to copy every single one, so you have an added element of safety. Further, everyone I use ghcat off-the-record with is someone I trust - I just don't want a copy of the chat sitting in their email.
bth, i have no idea how Quora achieves anything. The service is kind of okay I guess, but I was thoroughly turned off by my first visit. I got to read one answer 'for free'... I cant remember what the price was I had to pay but 'far too much' is how I remember it.
And then Elon Musk would have again blamed him for not charging up fully there. He's already insinuating that the only reason not to do a full charge was because he wanted to run out: "On the third leg, where he claimed the car ran out of energy, he stopped charging at 28%. Despite narrowly making each leg, he charged less and less each time. Why would anyone do that?"

(Also, looking closely at the graphs I think I underestimated the charge times. It'd be more like 10 hours, which would basically wind up adding another day to the trip - after which Elon would presumably have written a blog post complaining that he could have just charged enough to get to the Supercharger and done the journey much faster, and use that as evidence he was maliciously trying to discredit Tesla. It's lose-lose for the unlucky journalist.)
If so, I find it even more disturbing that the workforce would have limited interest in the long-term success of their team or their company.

> When Tesla first approached The New York Times about doing this story, it was supposed to be focused on future advancements in our Supercharger technology.

As compelling as this blog post is, this statement really stuck in my craw. NYT, nor any other news group, is beholden to your ideal article. To make matters worse, it was Tesla approaching NYT, not the other way around. So no Elon. Just because the article didnt cover what you wanted it to cover, doesn't mean you can get your panties in a bunch about it. The truthfulness of the article is a whole other matter entirely, but as someone who studied journalism, I have to give him a big "fuck you" for this imperialistic notion.

Notice there is a left turn right after the first row of parking spaces, which takes your directly to the charging station. You can also apparently take the 3rd entrance from the ramp and get there directly.
