Saab utilizes this through Tech2. Just to turn the Aux Out component on my stereo would cost $150-300. Disable the Alarm system beep? $150-300. Disable the airbag warning? $150-300. Replace the stereo? $150-300. Disable daytime running headlights? $150-300. List goes on.

Had Saab made these options available through menus, I would bless their innovation. Instead, the menus are 'hidden' and only accessible with a DRM yearly license and a device.

I know these aren't driving experience based updates, but it is a testament of how a car's configuration can lead to thousands of dollars of waste and customer dissatisfaction.

This. People often look past the infrastructure that has to be built and the natural resources required to keep it running.

The systems in "developed" countries have been set up over time to make it "cheaper" to run on oil (for now, but this only going to get more expensive). And even then, you must constantly deal with the supply/demand and inflation issues when it comes to acquiring oil. That issue does not exist with acquiring solar energy. With PV's and CSP, one side of the equation takes care of itself (radiant energy from the sun).
I would highly recommend to read this reddit comment.

http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1iiz9x/peru_to_pr...

As it seems a lot of pro-peru-government PR is done currently to mask actual political activities.

Right now in Perú we have some serious problems with the government.
Today the congress elected members of political parties that even
belong to the ruling party ("Gana Perú") as leaders of autonomous
branches of the government ("tribunal constitucional", "banco central
de reserva" y "defensoría del pueblo"). This is really bad, because
the heads of organizations that are meant to protect the people from
actions of the government and to make the government respect our
constitution now belong to political parties.

This means: members of the government, ruling party and allies taking
control over the mechanisms that were originally meant to control
them, and make sure they are working for the people. Now this
institutions won't behave the way they should.

We currently have protests in the central area of Lima near the
congress and the "palacio de gobierno" (the residence of the
president). Television has all the day covered the story of a
peripheral fire as if it was the main thing happening. And reddit, you
should know that the main thing in Perú right now aren't the solar
panels.

If you want to know something about Perú right know: we are unhappy
and angry with our government and our inefficient political class. We
are tired that they work for their own profit and not for the people.
We are tired of corruption.

Feels like the wrong question to me. How about, for a new email service would you prefer...

2) To access it from multiple clients (IMAP?)

3) To share it with other clients such as Gmail (Forward?)

4) To view it in the cloud (Proprietary?)

While I'm fond of this type of down-to-earth experiments, I'm curious about the scientific value of waiting for decades to observe the drop falling due to Earth's gravity, versus placing the apparatus in a centrifuge, which I imagine would dramatically accelerate the process. Maybe the higher forces would affect the way the drop is formed, in a way that was deemed undesirable?

That's not true. Quite a few live in exile.

A question of degree, no? I don't think any Republicans want to forcibly repatriate 3m immigrants.
Um, not to take away from the achievement of the result, but couldn't this result have been obtained in much less time with higher force than 1G in, say, a centrifuge?
I'm guessing that their legal reasoning, if there's any at all, revolves around that thought that since you're handing your vehicle over to someone else's control, that there's then no "expectation of privacy". It's a flawed argument, but I bet that's their rationale.
Same experiment, but I for one was interested to know it was not the Queensland one, because that one has a great Radiolab episode about all the times they missed the drop (webcams failing, etc.). Their pitch is due to drop soon too, so it's sort of sad someone else beat them to finally filming it.

My impression (could be because I went to a non-engineering school?) was that computer science had the most work of any major. Certainly much more than anything out of the business school, and most non-science. Perhaps Physics could have had more work, but I don't think biology or chemistry did. Things could be different at other schools though.
Here's a choice piece of code we have in production along the lines of what you suggest:

if prorated_amount > (cost_per_month * 2)
raise "critical! we were about to prorate-charge someone #{prorated_amount}"
end

It's never been triggered, but this is probably the only place in our system where we're actually responsible for an exact amount that ends up on an invoice, so having a reasonable upper limit seems like a no-brainer.
Indianapolis was the site of a full-dress-rehersal nuclear interdiction field exercise. It is also a literary allusion to a well-known science fiction story in which Indianapolis is sacrificed to an alien nuclear attack.

Saddam Hussein could have trivially smashed the economy of Indiana as part of larger dsruptions of the world economy. The actual error is that by 2003 he was utterly deterred. Gulf War I taught him all about staying on his little patch of sand.

This discussion contains only the political partisanship you projected onto it. You need to learn that clear strategic analysis often contradicts or supports political dogma by coincidence.
No, but it does destroy the credibility of the US government and its agencies.

It's pretty unfair given that most people haven't really exhausted the genre. I think (Mafalda)[http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2010/07/dwyck-the-dreams-of-chi...] is at least just as good.

This also reminds me of how they take TV originals, like Seinfeld, for example and originally shot for 4:3. They enhance them for 16:9. I would like to see a comparison of that too.

However, I will admit I think the Seinfeld enhancements do look pretty good from what they used to.

There is a trade off between having a site like SO, and a forum (and all the grey areas between).

One is time sensitivity. What technology libraries 4 years ago is still the top-of-the-line library today? Maybe face recognition libraries ages better than say a web frame work or data base access library, but its a very fuzzy line which requires a crystal ball to get right. Such questions is better places on sites like HN (ask HN).

The quality of the answer is the other big trade-off. Would "I'm looking for a free web framework in Python, Java, C++, or C" create the same quality answers as "I'm looking for a free face recognition library in Python, Java, C++, or C"? My guess is it would not. This mean that two similar looking questions will get very different quality in answer.

One could suggest that OS invented something like wikipedia's ignore all rules policy, and let moderators decide to allow the question about Face recognition Library but not one about web frameworks. That could make the system more useful, but also create more issues.
Yup, topography influences energy policy greatly in most countries. Peru is special because of its diversity...China-like in a much much smaller package. Mountains are good because of potential for hydroelectric plants, but not good to build a grid ON them. Jungle has proven a great source of natural gas, but the Andes mountains severs the jungle from the population centers on the coast.

I think solar for the mountain population is very interesting. They don't have anything at all now, not like we're increasing their current energy bill. It's cleaner than most other options, and very low environmental impact for these typical rural communities.

I'm still confused how the litany of "Calvin peeing on X" stickers have been allowed to happen. It's clearly Calvin, and not some derivative. It clearly isn't parody or satire (of the work itself, or otherwise protected). And there are clearly financial beneficiaries of the stickers.

As a long-time lover of C&H, it simply confounds me.
Ask HN: Buy multiple vertical domains or focus on one main domain?
I just discovered that a large pool of .com domains for multiple markets where I could offer a product, is still available and not taken. These domains are similar to this:

[Vertical]Mytopkeyword.com
BusinessMytopkeyword.com
MediaMytopkeyword.com
ScienceMytopkeyword.com
TravelMytopkeyword.com
SportsMytopkeyword.com
RetailMytopkeyword.com
MarketingMytopkeyword.com
AutomotiveMytopkeyword.com
ManagementMytopkeyword.com

Almost any domain and market with my top keyword is still available. I could basically grab them all in one minute. Should I go ahead and buy like 20-30 domains to cover all these areas direcly, or would it be for SEO a better move to use all these market keyword all together on a single domain instead (as a subdomain) like for example:

[Vertical].Mybrand.com or
Retail.Mybrand.com or
Travel.Mybrand.com ?
I love Calvin & Hobbes as well, but I'd list Pogo as pretty serious competition, and there are a number of other great, historically important strips (e.g., Krazy Kat).

IANAL, but it seems like there is so much precedent against vehicle searches that it's staggering that TSA thinks this is acceptable. Every case I've read related to vehicles indicates that probable cause is required for a car search

Maybe you have given up those rights by entering a special zone near the airport? Not justifying it, but maybe explaining it.

This is expected of the TSA, every bureaucracy will seek to justify and expand itself.

I actually thought of that when I wrote my comment, but I wasn't sure if open source only meant the open source definition by the open source initiative. Apparently there's no "access to the source code" meaning if we are to believe Wikipedia.

Therefore there's three possible cateogories: closed source, open source and 'access to the source code but no free license'.

As I said, rarely relatively to the duplicate content. Liberally? Definitely not! Most people(which is understandable, I guess) don't want to lose the opportunity to gain some more rep, even if they know that the question has been already answered a thousand times. I am most active in the `python` tag. At least there, I could list way too many examples.
I don't have any specifics, but after touring the River Rouge plant (Ford) about a month ago, it looks very, very similar (except that the Ford plant is much bigger). Robots everywhere, working in tandem with humans.

Interestingly, when you tour the Ford plant, they also focus on the same things: automated movement of the car through the factory, robot that installs seats, robot that installs the windshield.

37 °C is, while hot, not the maximum for Germany and the rest of central/southern Europe. It tends to be relatively dry, though, especially if one goes further east (Berlin, e.g.). Given how far north Europe is, I would expect ‘really hot parts’ to be, well, hotter :)
Whereas a "delete-happy" mod can abuse their power, another reasonable mod can just as easily reverse it.

As far as mods that tend to be trigger happy, they can be filtered out since mods are elected by the user base. Technically, you can choose who you want spending their waking hours going over questions and filtering out what shouldn't be there.

My comment was regarded more towards caffeinated drinks promoted as a way to improve physical endurance. While I agree that caffeine increases focus, by my experience the increased heart-rate has adverse effects for any hard physical activity or endurance (I do multi-day mountain hiking and alpinism up to 6c grade).

By my own experience, drinking a cappuccino just minutes before starting a 1km 30% hill climb will make the effort strenuous on me, and I usually drink 2 espressos a day, which is basically the norm around here. I can easily do the same in less time, walking faster and absolutely no strain if I had at least 3 hours after the cappuccino or don't drink any.

In my hiking group this effect has been noted by several other people (we usually go to a bar in the morning before starting the hikes).

A redbull for me is already too strong by itself.
I think how quickly you can metabolize caffeine is important, but as a rule increasing the hart-rate seems like a dumb idea.

$60K seems like an awful lot for an on-line program. I think they are getting a lot of internal flack over the pricing. It seems to me that Berkeley should be jumping into on-line learning, as their state funding dries up. The best way to do this consistent with their mission is a mass market approach. By putting in Tiffany pricing, they're going to fail both their mission (training data science, educating the public, etc) and they won't bring in much money to fill any revenue holes.

Harvard's online masters degrees are closer to $20K all in.

I would really like something like IMAP, but have it embrace gmail style "labels" instead of folders. When you use IMAP with Gmail, each label creates a duplicate of the message in its appropriate IMAP folder.

Personal POV: if we have Democracy in US and its fine to drone other countries' people in the name of fight with terrorism, then I am looking forward to the day of Iraq being a full blown Democracy, which is the day that the former President George W.

New Netflix-only "House of Cards" is too very good. Set in US Congress as a bonus.
The appeals court opinion stated in no uncertain terms that the reason they ruled the way they did is that the plaintiffs had no standing since the statute unequivocally excludes American citizens or anyone captured on American soil. The AUMF basically just extends POW-type status to non-state actors (Al Qaeda and Taliban in particular) which makes perfect sense to me.

Anybody who liked Garfield as a kid has an object lesson in exactly what he was trying to avoid.

At the same time, I think the OP's point is that the "trying something else" never seems to have materialized.
Original link:
"Congress granted the president the authority to arrest and hold individuals accused of terrorism without due process under the NDAA,"

Your link:
"...enemy combatants, including U.S. citizens, but ruled that detainees who are U.S. citizens must have the rights of due process,"

We've got 2 issues there, 'enemy combatants' requires a bit more proof than 'suspected of terrorism', although things can be fudged like in the Bradley Manning case. Then we have the whole due process.

The 5th amendment:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

The parts about the armed forces apply to military justice for troops, when wartime discipline is invoked. It's not saying that "when you're at war it all goes out the window for ordinary citizens".

Indefinitely detaining someone based on suspicion, without a requirement of due process or a way to appeal, is quite clearly unconstitutional although I hold little hope for the current Supreme Court to overturn it.

My experience has been slightly different. I have often found stackoverflow questions (closed as NC or NaRQ) from google searches and thought "This is interesting, but I would be embarrassed if my boss saw me reading it."
The difference is that Tesla doesn't charge for any of these features, and all of this is configurable via their onboard system (of course, only when your car isn't driving ;) ).

You can even configure your car to "creep" forward or to stay put when your foot is off the break but the car is on. This is also done via the menu.

I think what you mentioned is more of a testament to how Saab overcharges for small features on their product. Just because Saab does this, it doesn't mean Tesla does. I'd love to have more configuration options come with my car.
