I think a raw recording of the entire trip inside the cabin is a pretty personal thing to ask for someone used to only having a heavily reviewed and edited public facade. Then there's the matter of hosting all that video, and of successfully summarizing it into a form that's both properly balanced and digestible by a the audience.

Right, it's definitely not possible that he considered the arguments unconvincing. He just hasn't taken the time to understand them yet. They are utterly unassailable, and anyone who sees things differently must be willfully ignorant or is driven by an anti-popular vote ideology or special interests.
I don't "work" at a "startup," I founded the business! I designed every last bit. That's all me, baby. True cheer doesn't come from denying reality, it comes from understanding life and laughing at the joke.

The goal of "review this car for everyday use" is not the same objective as just "get from A to B sanely".

A lot of comments here seem to miss that the reviewer was putting the car through a test, and the test required only abiding by certain parameters (the super charger stations).
In terms of electing the President of the United States, the national popular vote means nothing. I want to say there were some legal arguments made back during the Gore/Bush fiasco that was something along those lines, "will of the people" and all that. But it's just a number that people like to toss out to create drama, I believe it gained a good amount of steam recently because of Gore. The reason I say to create drama is because the Electoral College and the popular vote almost always agree anyway. Three times did it disagree and now I'm seeing that there were two Electoral College ties, where the House chose the winner.

The system, for the most part works just fine, its just some people make arguments against it in a way that suggests they don't feel it leans in their favor quite enough.

I'd argue that it's disingenuous to use MSAs rather than cities to talk about campaign stops. To use your example, the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta Metropolitan Statistical Area has four counties with more than 700,000 people, and fifteen with less than 100,000.

It's hard for me to imagine the average resident of, say, Jasper, GA (population ~2,000, median income ~$30,000) caring one way or another that you had a rally in Atlanta— but their votes still count.

Two bits are completely non-sensical to me, is there any battery technician or otherwise knowledgeable person that can indicate in what conditions this makes any sense?

> Beginning early in the morning of my second day with the car, after the projected range had dropped precipitously while parked overnight, I spoke numerous times with Christina Ra, Tesla’s spokeswoman at the time, and Ted Merendino, a Tesla product planner at the company’s headquarters in California. They told me that the loss of battery power when parked overnight could be restored by properly “conditioning” the battery, a half-hour process, which I undertook by sitting in the car with the heat on low, as they instructed. That proved ineffective; the conditioning process actually reduced the range by 24 percent (to 19 miles, from 25 miles).

If there is one thing that will use up large amounts of energy it is electric heating, I find it hard to believe that using a heater as a consumer would regenerate the battery capacity in excess of what the the heater is consuming unless most or all of the energy was directed at the batteries. The exterior of a car will drain heat energy about as fast as you can put it in under cold conditions (or faster...).

> It was also Tesla that told me that an hour of charging (at a lower power level) at a public utility in Norwich, Conn., would give me adequate range to reach the Supercharging station 61 miles away, even though the car’s range estimator read 32 miles – because, again, I was told that moderate-speed driving would “restore” the battery power lost overnight. That also proved overoptimistic, as I ran out of power about 14 miles shy of the Milford Supercharger and about five miles from the public charging station in East Haven that I was trying to reach.

That does not make any sense either. Any kind of consumption will ultimately reduce the available range, you don't restore by removing joules from a pack.

I've lived in a house powered with batteries, solar and wind for a long enough time to know that indeed temperature affects battery capacity, sometimes dramatically. But consuming power under cold conditions never put energy back in. Is this different for the kind of batteries that the Tesla uses?

Or is the 'Tesla said' claim just an effort to get out from under the apparently non-sensical decisions that were made here?

Or are Tesla spokespeople and product gurus totally clueless (which would seem to be very hard on the imagination)?

All the hard data from the Tesla logs except for the 'shutdown' is contradicted by words apparently spoken (and probably unverifiable except for 'he said/she said' style debate) rather than actually refuting the data.
Tesla and every other EV manufacturer recommend charging overnight. The author wouldn't have been able to produce his catastrophic breakdown if he'd followed this simple precaution.

It's also pretty clear from the data that he lied about the speed he was driving at.

That's not quite right. Traditional cars have batteries, but those batteries are just to smooth out energy usage so you can start the car a few days after stopping it, power the radio for a few hours, etc. But of course the charge used fundamentally comes from gasoline, via the engine's alternator.

I agree, ASN.1 sucks in terms of implementation in security-critical contexts.

But it's not a NIST or IETF standard, so it doesn't count. It's from ISO/IEC/ITU.
Actually, I see this quite often at shops all over. One posted the full name and amount of unpaid bills on their very large outdoor sign. Others post pictures of bounced checks. If the mechanic is the shop owner, he can do what he wants with his property.

And as far as I'm concerned, this applies to the web, too. If the web designer still owns the domain and server, go ahead and deface it to their hearts' content. If the client owns that stuff, however, the unpaid designer should just take back their work and let the client deal with the blank website.
another one?!
Can't wait to hear reResponse from Elon/Tesla.
The author noticed her mistake and has since corrected it. Sometimes even the un-hackiest of us make mistakes.
The batteries do have a reduced capacity when cold, so the range calculation is accurate. Tesla can only unofficially expect the range to recover, not guarantee it.
Well, I was trying to be nice so the ones that read the forum can convince themselves they are in the good group.
Thankfully, he's in Europe, so there's really no way that'd affect him.

I realize that there are two companies' reputations at stake here, but this is feeling a little like arguing over how stupid the driver was, not actually about the Tesla itself.
So, you're saying he's not anti-semitic? ("One of these things is not like the other...")
The subject line seems a little too much like a generic promotion...
It's true they could guess that, but the issue was the interval between usage, not the mileage. As I understand it, pretty much every car built in the last 10 years does some degree of logging, if only to provide a record of what the car was doing immediately before a crash. For cars with more electronic systems - stability, ABS, and certain automatic transmissions - they do more logging so that dealers can debug problems.

For example, my car also has an adaptive transmission system that collects data on my driving behavior and uses it to improve when the car chooses to shift. Sometimes folks have the dealer erase this data so the car "re-learns" to shift fo r them.(http://www.bmw.com/com/en/insights/technology/technology_gui...)
Oops. Look at the map at the end of Musk's post. There were dozens of third-party stations in his route, the reviewer just didn't want to use them.
I also cannot remember getting any email from disqus in the last months. Maybe because my blog is in hiatus (like any good blog ;)).
For some reason, no, because it's delivered through Canonical's special proprietary software channel. I suppose having the account means you can redownload this freeware for free?
> I was given battery-conservation advice at that time (turn off the cruise control; alternately slow down and speed up to take advantage of regenerative braking) that was later contradicted by other Tesla personnel.

What the heck? Does this guy seriously think that braking and then speeding up will conserve battery? Maybe the adage "don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity" is true.

I didn't say women have power, I just said women are in control when it comes to sex, in western societies.

This is assuming normal, legal situations. Of course all forms of rape are an exception to this.

There's just no getting around the fact that women CHOOSE to be with men like this.

Those men are "winners" in regard to relationships, except that it's not much of a victory to win the type of women they win.
This comes off as straight negative to me, especially considering the last I saw of them was winning the car of the year award. I would probably have never seen this review, and the fact that Musk is throwing such a tantrum about it (to my initial perception, anyway) does not endear the brand to me.

I doubt this would ever affect my buying decision, but I wouldn't call this positive publicity by any extent. Arguments and conflicts only look good when you are the clear winner.

I've never disputed that the "journalist" had a clear axe to grind. I've just disputed your claim about the sheer stupidity of that particular statement.

And about truck drivers, I did read your sentence from the POV that truck drivers are very good at what they do. Which is why I disagreed with you about how they would react.

I grew up on my Grandfather's farm in California. I learned QBASIC on his computer. I connected to my first BBS from his computer. Together we used MS-Paint to draw maps of his land for planning.

That experience and my occasional trips to the Tulare farm show make me think farmers are generally pretty able to embrace new technology.

So, I normally have issues with fullscreen applications - in Windows and Wine. Fullscreen in Linux hasn't been an issue, but I'm pretty sure that's because the Valve/Source games run in "Windowed Fullscreen" so the window manager still gets to control it when you've released the mouse (ie, pressed Esc and are at the menu).

tl;dr: Try adding '-windowed' to the launch options for TF2 and see if that helps at all. (Steam -> Games -> Right Click "Team Fortress 2" -> Launcher Options and add "-windowed" minus the quotes obviously.

They've got the terminology wrong but _prior_use_ of the mark "python" in relation to software is indeed relevant.
Valve only produce games when they think this will add something to the series, and to games as a whole.

They don't need to worry about making games to keep their company going, because steam.

The cuts they made are probably to keep the company's visionary approach in top shape.

Unfortunately, there is no way to host your "root domain" out of an amazon s3 bucket

This is possible using an alias record:

Can I point my zone apex (example.com versus www.example.com) at my website hosted on Amazon S3?
Yes. Amazon Route 53 offers a special type of record called an ‘Alias’ record that lets you map your zone apex (example.com) DNS name to your Amazon S3 website bucket (i.e. example.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com). IP addresses associated with Amazon S3 website endpoints can change at any time due to scaling up, scaling down, or software updates. Route 53 responds to each request for an Alias record with one IP address for the bucket. Route 53 doesn't charge for queries to Alias records that are mapped to an S3 bucket that is configured as a website. These queries are listed as “Intra-AWS-DNS-Queries” on the Amazon Route 53 usage report.

Balanced Payouts looks awesome. We use Stripe to deal with PCI issues, and it means we put some degree of trust in Stripe.

I feel like when dealing with ACH and actual bank accounts, we have to put so much more trust in them because there don't exist the same protections consumers have with credit cards.

Could someone (internal or external) breach Balanced's security, grab all of the bank account numbers and routing numbers, and siphon out everyone's funds? What would be the recourse of users who lost money that way?

I want to love Balanced and is it solves a huge pain point in our start up, but I'm always cautious with our own customers' financial information. I checked Balanced's web site, but couldn't find what kind of security systems they have in place, what kinds of engineers they have on the job, etc.
Yes, having been involved in it. Key phrase in my comment: the United States in its current configuration. Which is true: in Nate Silver's models, for instance, the probability that Obama would win the EC was always a good bit higher than the probability he would win the popular vote. He ended up winning both, but it needn't be so.

It comes down to the fact that anti-Obama voters were wasted in very red states that Romney had zero chance of losing, while Obama's popular support was better distributed among both blue and swing states.
