That's not totally true.

It's true that WebRTC currently needs a handshake server and that SDPs are a sh*t, but on ShareIt! (http://shareit.es), my own WebRTC P2P filesharing application, I have solved it using anonimous XMPP servers thanks to my framework WebP2P.io. Currently is not working just because I only was able to find one public XMPP server (Jappix.net) and they recently closed the access and with exams I'm not able to fix it (it's working using a PubNub backend channel, but only for Chromium <= v25 since recent ones generate incredible big and useless SDP strings), but it's functional.

Also, regarding to using another nodes as intermediary, with the old filetransfer-only protocol (I'm changing it to be more generic and create an agnostic-protocol network, but currently I'm really busy to finish it) I was able to connect two peers between them using just the WebRTC P2P network, so YES, IT'S POSSIBLE!!! :-D

Yes, I have been working very hard the last year trying to create a production-grade P2P application (I need to work to make it more robust, by the way...), and also thanks to it I've won the last week the "Most Innovative Project" on the national spanish VII Universitary Free Software Championship :-D

It's difficult to predict what (large amounts of) money will do to you.

When you start earning a lot, you obviously buy yourself and loved ones lots of gifts, but if you're a well rounded individual it's just a phase.

So you should only give $500M loans to rich, well-connected, billionaires, right?

Wow.

There were quite several car manufacturers similar to Tesla's size before their large taxpayer-subsidized loan who didn't get those loans.

I guess you must be a well-connected billionaire to qualify. I guess that counts as "fair" nowadays.
I saw this and just thought, "why isn't this the way we do buttons and loading" nice

The more they try to stop bitcoin, the more it will succeed.

This depends on a lot of things.

* Bitcoin, as a floating currency, depends on other currencies (or they on it, depending on your perspective) for relative purchasing power

* In order to arrive at that relative value, exchanges need to function--either explicitly, like MtGox, or implicitly through barter or private sale.

* There's not much the governments can do about private barter, but there's hella lot they can do about controlling organised exchanges. And, well, they've already started doing it.

In short, Bitcoin could well end up like flax or bags of flour or pigs or whatever else currency people want to use to get things from each other. But if you want to sell your pigs at market, you gotta pay the market fees or get out. And if they really want to stop Bitcoin, you simply won't sell them at market.

Put another way, the government regulates their currency, and while you want your currency to have some value in their currency, you have to find a way to move it between you and them. Either you do it their way, or you find an unofficial alternative. In the criminal world, they call this money laundering, and that's not going to succeed in the mainstream, network effect or not.

Kim Jong Il's wife convinced him not to do it:

agreed, might be trivial but i think the button text could as well switch to 'Submitting' like bootstrap
That looks cool. But in most of my projects, I use a "frame" structure. After submitting something, the frame changes to either left or right, completely moving the submit button out of sight. So while this is very cool, it doesn't work for popups and frame like designs which are supposed to "move" immediately and process ajax requests in background to give an illusion of speed.

> They are completely different things having no common factors.

No common factors? Really? They are both used to make energy.

Coal is 1,888 times more deadly than nuclear power when measured in deaths per MW. According to http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2012/06/10/energys-de...

And that includes Chernobyl, and uses the worst case scenario for the effects of radiation!

If you removed Chernobyl and used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis instead (which is more likely to be accurate) the deaths attributed to nuclear power would go even lower.

Nuclear power is by far the safest form of energy on earth - it even beats solar power. It is so very very very stupid we don't get 80% of our energy from it.

Do the incantations "disintermediate all supply chains" and "disrupt all mature industries" suddenly lose all their magical HN mojo when confronted with the Kryptonite of the car industry?
So now we're all back to "nuclear power is perfectly safe and cheap." The article fails to take into account that radiation is not like poison where you either die or don't. It's a statistical effect and how large the effect is can only be answered in a couple of decades. I'd not want to bet my life on that. Also, the radiation spills are not over yet. Radiated water still leaks from the reactors and flows into the ground and the sea - how and when those leaks can be plugged is yet unknown. Nobody has any idea how to treat the huge volumes of radiated water that have been captured so far.

Cleanup costs and storage/disposal costs for the nuclear waste are usually also ignored when looking at the costs of nuclear power - as well as the environmental impact of mining uranium. Let's just not talk about the additional dangers associated with nuclear proliferation. Nuclear power generates elements that are extremely dangerous and extremely difficult to handle - unlike solar, wind or even coal power.
I've seen emails like these before, but I don't understand them.

Take the linked github repo. What's the point? I realize I'm not the target audience, but usually spam has some link that I'm supposed to fall prey to, some Nigerian royalty who desperately desires to transfer money to my bank account.

This, however, contains no links. No visible way to be scammed, or even purchase anything. It isn't even well written, to the point of almost looking like a bad Markov chain. Is this just a spammer testing the waters?

I suppose maybe they're related to the first Google hit for "Forex"? Too much work. (Of course, I'm extremely not interested due to the spam/scan aspect.)

That's not how the books say to do it, and you're right, given who created Go you'd think they'd know this stuff. :-)

Many generations of the compiler are created. Let's say the compiler-in-C is worked on until it compiles subset Gosub1 which is just enough to write compiler-in-Gosub1 that duplicates compiler-in-C's behaviour. From now, compiler-in-C atrophies. G-2 features are implemented in G-1's compiler, though nothing uses them yet. The compiler's source then uses these, making it G-2 source, only compilable by a G-2-grokking compiler.

Weeks later we have a G-40 where a bug is discovered, introduced in G-20. It wasn't in the compiler-in-C so that's not useful. Choices include fixing it at `head', which can sometimes be awkward as described earlier, or fixing the initial G-20 implementation and then rolling forward all changes from there assuming the fix doesn't break code that was depending on the errant behaviour.
It's worth a note that these buttons are very laggy in MobileSafari, except for zoom-in and zoom-out, which use -webkit-transform and thus have hardware accelerated animation. While slide-* could be changed to use -webkit-transform, I'm somewhat surprised that the performance of the others is so bad, and I wonder if there's some not-completely-awful trick that would improve expand-*.
That should be normalized for TWh, but the point stands, of course.
Many asked. Only few were given those loans. Why not give the money to research universities instead? Wouldn't that be a lot more fair? We could all exploit the research, instead of just a few well-connected billionaires and corporations with lots of resources.

I clearly stated "smaller". BYD has a market cap 10% the size of Tesla's current market cap.
Every single statement you made, with the exception of handling radioactive waste, applies more to coal than it does to nuclear power.

Coal pollution doesn't "kill outright" - but does so slowly, over many years, and many, many more people than nuclear power.

Coal waste continues to leak into the air, and into water systems.

I'm not arguing that Nuclear power is "safe" (nothing, is - even solar power kills many people a year, mostly installers) - but I am suggesting we stay rational, and realize that there are consequences to any of our energy choices.

If it turns out that C02 will have an outsized impact on global warming, that alone, will likely suggest that Coal powered energy systems are fairly bad for the environment - in a much greater way than the discretely managed radioactive waste put off by nuclear power plants - which can be buried underground without changing the earths environment.

What you say, though true, is borderline FUD.

As AndrewDucker linked to further down the thread, this report http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/03/deaths-per-twh-for-all-ener... shows that nuclear power has the fewest deaths per terrawatt-hour out of any energy source, and coal has the highest.
This is exactly why I consider modern mobile technology to be a very mixed blessing. Having all that information available everywhere I go can sometimes be very useful. But I'm also always tempted to pull out the phone and start browsing trivia whenever I have a few spare minutes alone or even when there's a lull in a conversation with friends.

I've noticed my attention span is considerably shorter now than it was ten years ago and I think this is at least part of the reason why.

Being an active user of both git and hg, I also can't think of any features I make extensive use of in git (rebase, feature branches, etc) that I can't get with hg. My workflows in both are pretty much the same, just a saner interface on the hg side. If anything, git doesn't have revsets, a really powerful query language you can use to sift through your history - see http://www.selenic.com/hg/help/revsets

Just to add some more flavour to the matter, the European Commission has said they'd impose fines against Samsung if they tried to prevent sale of any device over a SEP patent issue. It seems like the ITC have made a decision, which is their prerogative, that's an odds with how it's treated everywhere else.

Apple hasn't got clean hands in the matter, they've been more than happy to saddle up and legal-cowboy their way into forcing decisions, but using a SEP to force an import ban is a pretty bad choice. Apple says Samsung wouldn't play ball in fair and equitable terms, that's a distinct possibility. The ITC seems to think Apple should have take the deal, so we don't know all the details yet, it'll be interesting to see what comes out.

Great description, never thought of bitbucket as a gateway drug but absolutely true. Although I don't really get what you mean about issue-tracking. You mean upgrading to Jira?
Yes, I need to expand that bit. The individual craft simply displays hysteresis, but the point here is that hysteresis is what you get if your system is a slice through a fold (or other) catastrophe. By looking at the parametrized systems you get the fold emerging, even though each one individually is "just" a system with (or without) hysteresis.

Understanding hysteresis as a part of a larger topological structure is a rather deep insight, and one that I've struggled to convey completely.

So thanks for your comment, it's helped me think again about how this should be expanded and enhanced to make that point clearer.
One major thing that bitbucket does better: giving you information about a commit. It has side-by-side diffs, and while you're looking at a diff, you can expand the context easier. See a few lines have been modified but can't tell what method was modified? Click the ellipses and bitbucket will ajax in more context. In github, your only option is to go to the file itself and match up the line numbers from the diff (even worse, there are ellipses to click on, but it just jumps you to some random point in the page).

The only thing I miss in bitbucket from the github world are gists.

You are not making any sense! First you ask why other car companies weren't given a loan, then you say that universities should have received the funding. Please, if you want to put forward your point, make sure you can argue it properly!
In the UK, signalling alarm systems (those that ring the police and so are actually useful) require that 2 types of detection technology be used in the one senor. Microwave and passive IR.

Using these together significantly reduces the chance of a false positive than just using one type on its own.

So, you could use this to replace the microwave sensor in the dual tech sensors but you would still need the PIR.

This is a different argument altogether. The original argument was about Tesla playing on an unfair playing field, which is demonstrably false. Other car manufacturers have to go through the same dealer network. Why should Tesla be allowed to sell directly when other car manufacturers can't?

Offtopic: One day we're going to look back at websites like these and laugh. There is distracting, moving content to the right and to the bottom. And technically also to the left since it moves when you scroll. Share buttons to the left, right, top and bottom. Advertisements for other articles that you totally should read on the top, right, bottom, and semi-embedded in the article. The only thing missing is bolded "RELATED" headlines of other articles embedded in the post, like most other news websites nowadays have.

This is getting out of hand if you ask me. The hitcounters of the nineties that another HN submission talked about a few days ago were nothing compared to this.

How exactly did Tesla earn an "A" up to that point? Every small electric car manufacturer was losing money left and right. Two smaller startups got the loan (Tesla and Fisker) to survive, while the others didn't (Bright Automotive, etc.). The ones that didn't get the loans went out of business. The one that got the other $500 million loan went out of business (Fisker). Only Tesla survived by having one tiny profitable quarter (which was a low single digit profitable quarter where they sold 3000 cars to rich people).
On Firefox, a dotted line appears around the button's text when it has focus (after click for instance). IMO, it ruins the nice clear style of the buttons.
