I think that the tech community is the one that verbed "open sourcing".
Actually it did when the car reported 90 the night before and a call to Tesla assured him that a quick charge would "re-calibrate" the system because of a software bug.
I guess it's a matter of perception. I thought "I'm on it, expect an update later" is what he said.

Speed affects ICE cars range too, and at 80 it can be a significant effect.
My point is this: just because oil employs lots of people, it isn't a reason to concentrate investment in those industries.

The reporter might have been reporting a true statement, but it wasn't informative or even relevant to the discussion about energy technologies. There were plenty of telegraph operators, milkmen, and dockworkers once too. Technological advancement made those jobs redundant or irrelevant.
"If you take your car to the shop and can't pay for the work to be done, they put a mechanic's lien on it, and impound the car until the work is paid for. This is no different from that method, which is totally legal."

There is a big difference, actually. There is pretty standard protocol and work agreements for automotive repair. This developer may have exposed himself to a level of risk based on his own contracts and work arrangement. Why was the site up in the first place if he was not paid in full?

"Similarly, I've met software developers who set timebombs in custom software they write for companies, with an easy to install patch that gets released when that company pays it's bill."

Wow, this is just scary. The work relationship is doomed if the developer doesn't trust the customer or vice versa. If you are in the business of making money through software development, be skilled not only in developing but in assembling contracts and project plans that protect your interests.
Interesting. Do you know why CAD programs are slower on gaming chips? I know the gaming cards sometimes have much worse double-precision performance than the GPGPU cards, but I must admit that I don't know what the difference is on any particular chip. It could also be a memory issue or something like that.
That is a most impressive machine, and quite sad we won't have data for two years, but I hope that this time it really become possible to reach 14 tev.

Maybe this time they manage to end the world =D
Its funny, because reading this had me chuckling.

I too created ChromeOS :-) Let me explain;

So I joined Google in 2006 (December) and one of the things I had pitched to a few folks before joining was something I was calling "JaDE" which was short for "Java Application Development Environment". Nearly everyone I pitched it to thought it was just a 'thin client' ala Citrix's offering, and Brad Templeton called it a 'diskless workstation' as he knew my history with Sun and Sun's flirtation with that sort of thing in the early 90's.

I didn't think it anything like that at the time, thinking instead of it as a sort of appliance like client rather than diskless (it had local flash storage), it was basically what smartphones became, but with a keyboard and display[1]. When Android was being developed and a number of people in the platforms area were getting excited about it, I talked with the Android folks about forking it into something along the ideas of my JaDE concept. They weren't very receptive, they had a phone to build. I did the usual stuff, created a p page [2], put some stuff in the wiki etc. Also saw Jeff Nelson's previous work (which had gone nowhere), read the politics around the whole Android effort at the time and abandoned my efforts to push it any further.

Other projects inside of Google with that level of detail did get pushed further by people interested in moving the ball down the road. When one of the platform folks left to join this "secret" group which turned out to be ChromeOS I was amused because yet another group of people had figured out what, by then, was a pretty obvious idea. Since I happened to have a compatible ASUS Eeepc at the time I downloaded one of their early builds and played around with it. When they got some traction inside the company the Android group went ape shit (as expected) and that led to some interesting changes.

But lets come back to Jeff for a moment. He was at Google for 2 years according to his LinkedIn profile, which means he joined, got slotted, and left. (a common path sadly). But he is also currently the CTO of 'stealth startup' which means he is out pitching to investors with his co-founder(s). Its so much better to pitch as the 'inventor of ChromeOS' than it is as '2 years at Google, then consulting for 4 years.'

I clearly remember he had a 'p' page for his project (I found it when I was thinking about my version of the idea) so he may be assuming that someone read it and said "Hey this is a pretty good idea, we should build this." And started building it. Since it was never a good idea at Google to give anyone else credit for your ideas perhaps Jeff is making some unwarranted assumptions. I could easily see him believing whole heartedly that he invented it, just like I can believe nobody in the ChromeOS group has ever heard of him.

Google is just that kind of place.

UPDATE: see the patent claim in a sibling comment, that is priceless!

Hashing data with SHA1 should be a criminal offense? Seriously?
> And that's completely ignoring how HORRIBLY BAD a simple majority vote is. It essentially guarantees a 2-party system.

Yes, personally I think this is a much more important issue than the electoral college.
It's above the animal for me.
Yes, sorry--a man's gotta sleep. Hope everyone interested sees my followups...
One interesting tidbit is that those quotes are from the graphic that ran with the story, and the graphic refers to Broder in the third person as a "Washington-based reporter". I wonder if he was responsible for the graphic.
Can you cite anything that shows that bcrypt hasn't been studied by cryptographers? I've not heard that yet and would like to add it to my research (I keep notes on good password storage techniques).
That's too bad, their SOMA location is the only good gym in the city.
Not really, it actually assumes that all votes are equal. As soon as two votes from any two different people in the country are inequal, no voting system can be fair. So following the discussion, he saw we were supposing that all votes be made equal. In seeing this, we've already discussed how this effectively means presidential election is a simple majority, and his point was that simple majority isn't a good system by which to make a decision in a large group of people, that another one, any one that has proportionate voting for multiple candidates, can actually result in a much more agreeable outcome, but it assumes all votes are equal in power.

If the question is "should they count the same" -- the answer is an unequivocal yes, and almost every person would agree. Voting reform requires that people put in power by bad systems willingly reform those systems which would see them removed from power. Corruption doesn't remove itself, so discussing this at all is moot, really.
You haven't read the arguments carefully:

If the car tells you it has half a tank left, and if you find out 10 miles later that the car is almost empty, who do you blame? Do you blame the driver for not having filled the tank or do you blame the car for potentially misreporting the levels?

In context, I wonder if the data recorded by the tesla is indeed the same data reported on the dashboard. What would be cool and definitive is if they could present "screenshots" of what was displayed.

More general, what I would like to see, given the detail Tesla kept on the car, is a log of the phone calls that Broder made to Tesla during the journey.
In the US, people run out of gas and feel like they're the victim of bad luck. In Germany, the officer tisk-tisks you for poor planning and writes you a ticket.
And the answers to that seem to be

1) No, but Broder wants you to think it's yes.

2) Yes, but Broder wants you to think it was no.
It is a scam. If they claim they are involved with software and computers they must know of python. Stuff like this does not happen by accident.
"Sponsored" implies an advertising relationship, even if it avoids the dread word - sponsors pay you. "Inspired by your browsing history" is accurate, and is Amazon advertising Amazon - you're on a shopping site, seeing more links to shopping shouldn't surprise you. "Promoted Discovery" is a new and unrecognized flavor of newspeak; it's not just avoiding the word "advertising," it's hard to even recognize as advertising.
Good luck telling Montana they are now part of Utah

The real issue with this is that you would have to change all the states every so often to account for population shifts.

Besides, the states have long histories that you would lose. Better fixing the electoral college, which is what is really broken.
Hey Nate!

The way I see it is that we're all guests in any new environment when we first get there. Over time, after investing love blood sweat energy tears, these places gradually become our homes. Sometimes it feels like it happens fast, sometimes it feels like it takes forever. Sometimes we are embraced by whomever is there before. Sometimes we're not and we displace (ask me how I felt moving to Avenue D back in the day). Sometimes we're not and we're the ones displaced.

For me personally, the Haight didn't start feeling at all like home for quite a long time. Years. But over time I started recognizing the shopowners. Getting to know them, their names, where they lived, what was on their mind. And my neighbors (those that stay long enough to get to know). And the cops (on the rare occasion you saw one). And the postal carrier. And the street cleaning crew. Etc.

And, especially relevant to this thread, I began to recognize the local transients. I might see a handful guys over and over again who have been walking the streets of our neighborhood for a decade or more. (Which I guess technically makes them in-transient, but they're likely not under the same roof every night like I am.) This is their home, too.

But what I don't see is the same faces among the street kids. I see new kids every day. They're here one day, gone the next. It's rare that I'd see a kid last a week. Maybe a handful I've seen come back after a year or two. But that's the exception, not the norm.

So my point about it being "our extended home" is that, after these many years, love or hate the Haight, it has become my home, and it is the home for the others that have invested something of their lives in our neighborhood.

For most of these street kids, the ones the author is writing about, the ones that I see every day, they don't consider it home. They don't treat it as their home. But I do. And so do my neighbors.

Does that explain it a bit better?

Edit: Moxie in another comment mentions the (true) squatter scene, which is a very important (and itself diverse) subculture to recognize. I agree completely. I'd suggest that the Haight is also their home as much as it is mine. Hell, a million times moreso if we're talking actual blood sweat and tears.
Well, I've mentioned elsewhere, reality is a lot bigger than you think it is.
A deeper understanding of chemistry is called "physics" :)

In any case, that's not hard to imagine at all. Particle physics is among the sexiest subjects in science (along with astrophysics), and there aren't as few geeks as generally believed (they're just relatively silent!).

That's like asking, who would devote time/energy/money to the study of the digits of pi? Visualising strange attractors? Calculating large prime numbers?

Not sure how extravagant projects (such as particle colliders) would fit in the crowd funding scheme, but I don't think they even need to.
Hey! I'm about to graduate medical school but have a passion for startups (my background is in electrical engineering but I've gotten into web engineering for the past couple years). My projects include Synchtube, Epicmafia, and a small mobile app for calculators physicians use in the hospital. I'm not an axe murderer! I'd love the chance to meet any startup founders over a cup of coffee or some beer this weekend.
You wouldn't be speculating anymore.
Not sure what farmers you grew up with, but the ones in the upper plains are fine with tech (heck, most of them had cellphones and GPS before the rest of us). You run combines for a living and you cannot avoid tech these days. They are conservative, but get that from all the people who keep trying to sell them wonder stuff.

The biggest problem with this startup is that they are going to run into farmers who electronically sign their contracts on company websites that already have other value added services to attract the farmers in the first place. These companies also have local elevators and sales reps who sit in the cafe and have coffee with the farmers or visit them in their fields. Many are staffed by people who have done farm work (hired hand, kid not taking over for the parents).
Basically, there's two things at stake in creating a viral video:
1. content
2. distribution

We can't help our advertisers create good, engaging content, but we can help with distribution. We can get their video infront of people through our network of publishers, but if their video (content) sucks, it's not going to catch on.

We are not looking to become a solution for promoting viral videos. We are building a Google AdWords for video solution with distribution taking place on Facebook, Mobile Apps, blogs and sites.
It really depends on the corporate world. Some uses free software as well.
Did you make customizations to end up with TLS disabled in IE on Vista? Or did you end up this way fom default settings?
Problem: Redistricting states every x years would introduce unwelcome difficulties into government. E.g. what happens to state workers in towns that move from one state to another? Would states have a disincentive to invest in their border regions, knowing that they might end up becoming their neighbors' problems in a few years?
The United States has a federal government for a reason. The government is constructed in such a way that the majority doesn't get whatever it wants, if that majority isn't broadly representative of America as a whole.

In particular, the Electoral College ensures presidential candidates must appeal to a wide variety of people, from across multiple regions of America - instead of just focusing on running up the totals in large cities, which is what would happen if the Electoral College didn't exist. In the last election both political parties had to pay attention to the entirety of the electorate, from every county, in states as diverse as Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Nevada.

You could do America a favor by calling your state representatives and telling them what a goofy idea this is.
Of those 80, I regularly only keep about five open, and of those there's only three or four that I watch closely. Opt-in to your activity.
They probably couldn't find a designer in SF that charged LESS than the designer in Germany. A company that doesn't pay invoices tends to go for the cheapest option.
A sufficiently knowledgeable person would have succeeded.
I've actually seen this on a few friends' posts linking to Amazon or Living Social. It's weird and annoying (and I thought Facebook just settled a class-action suit for including people in ads without their permission?)
Other Tesla owners have reported this exact problem (inaccurate charging gauge) in the Roadster; other reviewers have noted this problem in the Model S. Moreoever, this problem is endemic to all pure-electric vehicles in cold climates, such as Nissan Leafs and Chevy Volts. (Google for references)

Ergo, the likelihood of (1) the reporter not fully charging his car's battery and (2) the fuel guage inaccurately reporting a fully charged battery is the realm of more likely than not.
Already seen a major issue pop up a few times where I type in a few different messages, minimize the app, come back to it, and none of my messages are there. My team is offline right now so not sure if they're getting the messages or not but damn is that annoying so far. Seems like a big deal if the core use of the app is flakey.
Hand down my favorite phrase from our contract:

At the designated point in the project and after final payment has been received, we will present you with all files pertaining to your project.
"The poor state of passwords protection in web services: passwords are too often either stored in clear (these are the services that send you your password by email after hitting "I forgot my password"), or just hashed with a cryptographic hash function (like MD5 or SHA-1), which exposes users' passwords to efficient brute force cracking methods."

If you can't get people to use current crypto hashing techniques like bcrypt or scrypt why would coming up with another one help?

Of course it would be nice to see something with the work factor features of bcrypt that were more specifically resistant to GPU optimized crackers.
I have a bit of a quibble with this point: "CAD is genuinely difficult." When I was in the university and had access to SolidWorks, it took me less than ten hours to design something that was moderately complex. Eight years later, when I tried to design something for my side project using cheap and free 3D CAD programs, I had the hardest time doing so because the programs I tried were simply not powerful enough. The problem is not the CAD concept, it's the programs. There's no reason why CAD can't be easier than ever, and it might be if you purchase a multi-thousand dollar program.
Quantrix perhaps.

So when you talk to journalists you never know what part of whole conversation they will highlight:) I am not a fan of this example too, i dont think it represents well what are we doing as a company, but a lot of them catch this since it corresponds with our catchy name.

the idea of our service is simply to get relevant videos in front the right audiences. as someone below correctly commented its essentially AdSense for Videos. since we dont have fixed ad units but rather offer API to developers its up to them how obtrusive/native they want to place it. so far we have seen both very abusive and very nice implementations when video was nicely integrated in some games natively.
However regen is not 100% efficient at recapturing the car's kinetic energy. The guy who drove his Model S for 400 miles on one charge in Florida was careful to drive slowly and not use regen when he could avoid it.

My thesis is simply that more rural states tend towards more conservative politics and when Democrats get elected in rural states they tend to be the more conservative members of the Democratic party.

Ben Nelson is one of the best examples of this phenomenon. During the health care reform bill he was a holdout until the end, threatening his own parties signature piece of legislation. He caved when his state was given a special deal.
I agree that that's the weirdest part of the journalist's story.

Why doesn't Musk focus on that? Instead of trying to discredit the reporter by saying he maliciously lied about when he turned the heat on or off by a couple miles, or whether the car had actually run out of juice at the very end.

Financial analyst here (and front end dev geek / enthusiast). It’s been interesting to see a number of recent HN articles related to Excel. I work for a Global 500 manufacturing company and can assure that Excel supports a large number of business processes and decisions.

Raw data is often stored in proprietary OLAP data stores which are provide a single version of the “truth”. The financial data is retrieved through the vendor’s Excel add-ins. Analysts can then use Excel’s basic functionality to transform and enrich the data and finally output it in a format suitable to be presented to decision makers.

Having a decent knowledge of web technologies, I’m often frustrated not to have a shiny web app that will automagically show the data in stunning tables and graphs (e.g. d3.js bliss). For me, the main reason we don’t see proper “developer made” applications in large corporations is that they do not allow for quick and fast iteration and adaptations. Here is a very typical situation in my job : A manager bursts into my office to ask the following : “Hey, I know we usually compare our XYZ monthly performance to our prior year performance and to our last forecast. Could you compare add in a comparison between the year end run rate and forecast ? Oh, and could you also a express XYZ as a percentage of ABC, it could be insightful. Thanks ! ... don’t work too late.”

After a couple of Excel ninja moves : job done, manager happy, business decisions made. If the data is wrong, I'm responsible, not the mistyped Excel formulae.

So the towing company confirmed that the car was DEAD. Musk wasn't there, so he cannot extrapolate from his logs.

So Musk wrong again.

Yea, too many coincidences with Musk's side of the story.

Musk is trying to be precise, I did exactly to him that he was trying to do to NYT's reporter. And yes, my pedantry was on purpose.

No, they did it because he said that he set the cruise control to 54 mph (a very specific number), which is clearly refuted by the data. In other words, it destroys his credibility.

I can't find in that paper how many iterations they put PBKDF2 through and which hashing algorithm they used. Any implementation of PBKDF2 I do uses a very high number of iterations (50,000+) and I use whirlpool, which is amongst the slowest of algorithms.
