I now keep a Nandroid backup of a blank "fake" OS around on my phone, for emergencies...why? I was detained crossing the Canadian border for an hour as the border patrol read through my personal emails on my phone and who knows what else. If I hadn't supplied the password willingly to them, I'm sure they would have refused me entry, so I couldn't do much about it. But having an OS to boot into on any device that's pretty cleared out and submitting that willingly works much better over denying the password. Of course, if you have any really sensitive stuff, this method wouldn't work super well, as the devices could be searched more thoroughly, but to stop harassment when crossing borders, at police stops, etc. I think it's a good idea.

Design is about more than the shell of the car. It is about everything, from the touch screen to the heads-up navigation, to the automatic handles, the interior space, and even the fact that it's electric. It's really just an amazing all-around car, and you can't make something like that without designing every detail.

I meant "rid the planet of hunger for 2 years"! What a typo!
This seems like a lack of communication skills on both parts imho, why would you respond: "this is not a bug" to a bug report you did not understand.

This is a wonderful library but it falls short on one major aspect which limits its design capabilities. Currently a block spanning N columns on a desktop must span N columns or 1 column on a mobile device. This means you can't have a 6x2 grid become a 2 by 6 grid on mobiles. It will have to be 12 blocks stacked on top of one another.

Inuit is another framework that allows for this though it lacks in documentation and a user friendly website.

A recording of something that you said is admissible. Why wouldn't a digital recording of something you said be? Because you own it and the court doesn't and shouldn't be allowed to search it without probably cause in the first place.

Surveillance, all-seeing all-knowing citizen-watching and suspicion-free spying is not okay. Targeted, with-warrant wiretaps are (maybe) a different story. Maybe I define this different than most (please chime in with your own) but the word surveillance means to me that you're being watched from above with many other also-innocent people.

Modern post companies use OCR and other digital processing to handle all mail, including postcards. At least is would be easier to mask who is sending the postcard, for example by omitting the sender details and throwing it into a mailbox far(ish) away from your home. Not a perfect system, as one could probably locate your home via triangulation if you were to use a number of different post boxes in the area of your home.

At the shareholder meeting a couple months ago, Elon Musk said the gullwing doors will have proximity and pinch sensors to prevent them from hitting anything. I don't know for sure if he was referring to the first version of Model X, but it seemed like it.
Tesla S is an excellent car. Loved it when I sat in one.

What came to light in Germany some years ago, with a heated discussion, is that automotive companies seem to optimize their cars towards specific tests. The discussion raged around what tests are more realistic, with those that let the car makers look bad (foreign tests) being "not realistic".

One silly thing to keep in mind if you're in the UK or Europe: You'll need to wait longer to take it on the Channel Tunnel, since it needs to ride in a tall vehicle/truck/bus car, which doesn't go with every train.

Ah, the wonders of Australia. Luckily we all have Medicare for when the obesity epidemic takes it's toll.

More seriously though, Australia is only marginally better than the US with this whole problem. We need to push the whole health thing a whole lot more.

I like my weekly chocolate and sarsaparilla ration, but I know it's not something I should do every day. Stopping junk food from becoming a daily thing for people is a great first step.

I also play sport at least twice a week, but again, we've become a lot more loose in that department over the past 10 years. All year round sport is meant to be compulsory for virtually all schools, but too many people sit out nowadays. If we get people playing sport at school, hopefully we can get more than 75% playing it well past the end of Uni.

But otherwise, I don't think this sort of advertising is bad or should be banned, rather we need to tighten up our education about nutrition and regular sport.

> You seem to think (please, correct me if I'm wrong) we can divorce our philosophy from our system of government and talk only about "real practical issues", and I would politely reply that it's impossible.

Obviously you can't divorce your philosophy from your views on issues insomuch as those views derive from your philosophy. That doesn't mean that you have to regress every single discussion to philosophizing by using hyperbole such that the discussion of the issues is obstructed by the discussion of your personal philosophy. The vast majority of people do not equate taxation with threat of death, so every time that is brought into the conversation, it completely derails the conversation and makes it unproductive. And no, it is not a more practical argument than I give it credit for. It is a slippery slope argument at best, and that is being exceedingly charitable.

Back to the issue at hand, the unhealthy/toxic distinction was just to try to get you to rethink your assumptions (doesn't seem to have worked). The real objection I have is the one you chose not to respond to: drastically unhealthy choices by other citizens are born by everyone else through increased costs of health care and insurance. Inevitably your response is that forcing anyone to pay for the health care of anyone else is an act of violence and therefore not permissible according to your libertarian ethics, but that means that we have to let people simply fall over dead if they can't pay for treatment, which in the opinion of most is a far greater moral wrong. If I've mischaracterized your views, I apologize in advance and am very curious to hear how you reconcile this problem.
I am the only person out there that agrees he shouldn't receive a bounty?!

Facebook's stance is akin to "we don't negotiate with terrorists". Although obviously this wasn't malicious (or "terrorism"); just a case of a foolish newbie who failed to follow the rules.
After reading the messages between the white hat and Facebook, I do believe it is the right decision do not pay him.

In his report he lacked the communication skills necessarily to make a useful bug report, which after my opinion caused the problem.
> You know, every time I see some Googler shocked at the effectiveness and various advantages of coding in Go

Me too, but for other reasons.

Many of the Go nice features were already available in other languages back in the 80's and got lost with C and later C++ becoming mainstream.

That normal developers don't know them is understandable, but Googlers, given the requirements to be part of the Chocolate Factory, it surprises me every time.
I'm an hourly employee (functionally non-exempt salary). Whenever employers ask me for exempt salary, I quote an rate that is 1.5 to 3 times as much as I would earn if hourly non-exempt. This is part of my insurance policy, so I can make sure I can take care of myself when my company cant.

Now, while I realize I have a really unique skillset, and have project knowledge which will see me thru - when I have to take my 45 day break ahead, I realize I may not come back. This would make me sad, but I'm well taken care of by my own savings, and by unemployment.
Option 2 is not "Post on real user's account", option 2 is "create account, use" or "use on established test account".

He was wrong, period, to post to a user's page. 100% wrong, and has no right to ask for the money, because of that. Facebook's response is exactly the correct response - fix the miscommunication, but remain firm in the denial of money to someone who broke clear rules.
When you're working across cultural boundaries you realise that most problems stem from an incorrect assumption.

In this case Khalil probably held the incorrect assumption that an actual demonstration of the bug would be how Facebook would want this to be reported, hence the lack of details.

It's not unreasonable for him to think Facebook would take a look at their HTTP logs to find out what happened.

Not all societies do this. New Zealand seems to be headed to a blame based system, but our healthcare system, while far from perfect has a fairly good part called the accident compensation corporation.

When I first saw the blog of this guy, just looking at the initial bug reports he mailed, I understood the nature of the bug this guy had discovered. It's strange that the people who are responsible for maintaining security at Facebook, failed to grasp that idea. It could be that they get so many bug reports a day, they have gotten in the habit of making fast initial judgments(which is natural). Maybe they made an initial judgement about this guy and then being biased, they failed at their job. If Facebook does not have a review of bug reports that they dismiss, and if this guy had not posted on MZ's profile, this bug would probably still exist.
There's a difference between "This is not a bug" and "We don't have enough information to proceed with your report. Can you please follow the guidelines here for a more detailed one? Thanks for your help."

If you want responsible disclosure, the guy just did the first step, reporting to your security team privately. Guide him, learn the thing, reward and move on.
That is because it is not for sale yet, all you can do is reserve it for 5,000 dollars but i would expect it to be around the same price as a model s.
As a good engineer, this person knows shit about politics.

When the company engineer claims he lacks loyalty, is not part of the company family, etc... He is not truly believing any of this either. He's just out of ammunition to attack him with logic, so he goes with any pack instinct ad hominem.

And then writing this emotional piece about just ice the cake on how he's sadly clueless on the matter. It's like he's trying to explain that someone who just called him a motherfucker how he is silly because you know, he's gay so he could never like mothers or something. It's all crazy and pointless to believe there's logic in subjective pack mentality attacks.
with exception of race and national origin based lawsuits, the era of using the legal system to protect the workers is pretty much gone. That entire regime of legal protections for citizens in general is pretty much extinct. Don't forget that the entire american legal system is based on interpretation. And the laws and precedents can be interpreted in an infinite variety of ways. And the major force in american politics today is no longer the vote. The populace is too divided and isolated from each other to exert any political force.

Nowadays the forces exerted on politics is almost exclusively corporate and wealth-oriented. What business wants, business gets.
The shell of the car however is the part that us mere mortals can see right now.

Having recently driven a Kia Optima, Ford Focus, Fiat 500 and a couple older vehicles (2011 Crown Vic, 1997 Town Car, 1967 Cadillac) I dont see a substantive difference, the difference in my mind is less a function of design, and more a function of the materiel chosen to implement the design.

All of these cars clearly had a whole bunch of thought put into where the controls are and how they functioned, but what made something feel quality, was the choice of materiel and how well it was put together, the design qualities were more or less equal.

What makes the Tesla innovative to me is the technology in the drivetrain, not the inside of the car.

My personal tastes would dictate having more things labeled with words over say otherwise inscrutable symbols - I rented a 2010 DTS once, it took me 15 min to figure out how to turn either the wipers or the headlights on, because I couldn't figure out what the icon meant.
It works for the military.
The problem is that on the JVM, you are given a debugger based on control flow, not data flow. Once you go into heavy option code, debugging that code becomes a PITA because your tools are simply wrong. So ya, you can come up with what basically amounts to a printf for data flow code, but you are stuck doing everything on your own at that point.

The problem really stands that no one knows how to build decent data-flow debuggers. Haskell programmers prefer static safety over debugging just as much as because their debuggers suck as the type system is so powerful. In Scala, you have the option to write crash-early strict code: do it, you will make your life so much easier as a result.
If I can reserve something, its functionally for sale, I should be able to see how much the total price of the vehicle is before reserving. I tried that, the reservation link seems broken.
Let me rephrase, what are the inherent differences in mannerisms between an non-software engineer and a programmer?
There are plenty of good ways to optimize this code. They didn't pick any of them. What I find more surprising than anything is that they didn't just optimize GET and handle the rest generically.
John Kerry: "The Internet Makes It Much Harder To Govern"
Okay, that's impressive. The Accord isn't a bad car per se, but its dummy is clearly having a much worse day.
Not sure about villanous, but I have yet to see an action for which government employee would be not foolish enough to do it. There was time, long ago, where I would say "this is too foolish, no government employee would ever do such thing" - and I was proven wrong so many times that I gave up and never would say such thing again.
For example: can you imagine senior government employee would be so foolish as to blatantly lie to Congress while testifying, and knowing there are many people that know it is a lie? Yet it happened in the last year not once, but multiple time with multiple people. And, surprisingly enough, nothing happened. So maybe it's not them that they are foolish - maybe it's us that are foolish enough to tolerate them.
Questions I ask when reviewing a design [2011]
I suspect the hit is less for a hybrid, because in a regular Prius, the battery is basically used as a buffer, not a giant energy store. I have a plug-in Prius and my "pure EV" range (this is how far you can go without firing up the gas engine at all) is significantly shortened by cold weather. I haven't done any obsessive tracking of it and I've only been through one winter, but I'd say it's somewhere around 25% reduced capacity in the winter.

I'm torn on this one. A while back I reported an exploit I'd found to a vendor to also get a back a "not a bug" response. Next version in their software had it fixed. They didn't have a bug bounty and I didn't have much interest in it past that I'd rather if fixed that not.

If there had been a small bounty on the line and it would have played out the same way, I'm not sure how I would have handled it. I'm all for responsible disclosure and wouldn't have any interest in posting it online or exploiting it. But what is the correct response if money is owed and you've already shared the exploit with the vendor?

Vehicle-years can be determined directly from vehicle registration data. Miles traveled would require a lot more guesswork.
The Model X has such a low centre of gravity that you'd need to be driving almost deliberately to rollover; the only exception to that would be driving the car with negligently low tire pressure and/or overly soft suspension (I always wondered why rollover rates in the US were so high until I realised that cars that ship in America tend to have much softer suspension than they do in the rest of the world).
