That's the amount of energy needed to bring nearly 1000 kg of water from 25°C to 100°C, but not enough to begin the phase transition from liquid to gas (i.e. start boiling).

The heat of vaporization of water (i.e. the amount of energy required to convert liquid water at 100°C to vapor at the same temperature) is 2260 J/g. So to completely boil your metric ton of water at 100°C would require an additional 1000 kg * (2260 J/g) = 2.3 GJ, which is 627 kWh!

At 85 kWh, the Tesla's battery contains enough energy to completely boil off 119 kg of water starting at 25°C [0], which is still pretty impressive!

[0] 85 kWh / ((4.181(J/(g * K)) * 75 K) + (2260 J/g))

Many people have this problem. Basically the problem is getting institutionalized.

The Model S designer, Franz von Holzhausen, worked for Mazda between 2005 and 2008! He also did the Pontiac Solstice. The Model S reminds me more of a Maserati than a Mazda though. I think it looks amazing.

Is it realistic to split long chains of Option into subfunctions returning Option? If long chains of Options are hard to effectively reason about, breaking them up could ameliorate the problem.

I suppose that conceptually, I consider returning None inside a chain of flatmapped options as the equivalent of terminating early. It's not hard to pass along an object describing the error instead of None, which gets you the equivalent of a thrown exception.

Also: can you point me towards any examples of this antipattern? I 'd like to see it in action, if only so I can avoid it in my own code.

I remember having a conversation in a pub with a junior Whitehall civil servant a number of years ago. Only half jokingly, he quipped that "of course the civil service runs the country", noting the relative powerlessness of parliament.

Interestingly enough, the more senior (and experienced) civil servants that I have had the opportunity to talk to have been very careful to emphasise that the department answers to the minister.

Of course, the relationship between the civil service, ministers and the media is an unnatural, strained and stressful one -- I do not envy any of these parties, although I think that the media has the most (effective) power out of these three, given the proportion of central government activity (60-70%?) that is driven by whatever happened to be in the headlines that week.

"lacked the communication skills"... seriously? how do you know? just because English is not his primary language and he had hard time expressing himself in an unfamiliar language does not mean that he "lacked the communication skills".
Exactly. All you really need to know is how to accomplish things in functional, OO and procedural languages. The advice given in the article is very nearly syntax based, not conceptual. Which is nearly useless if you're going very far from C/++.

If you're in a procedural language the questions is: what's the for-loop?

If you're in an OO language: are there iterators, how do I use them?

If you're in a functional language: what the syntax for mapping, etc.
> Personally, I hope Tesla fail, and think they will.

I can well imagine that the quote is accurate, although it would have been said with a certain sense of dark humour and sympathy, not at all as unkindly and aggressive as it appears in print.

A simple question to those afraid of regulation : why does a country agree that some substances should not belong to the market (drugs) but that not letting junk food be sold in the most cynical and manipulative way to a population dying of diabetes would harm the sacro saint wisdom/freedom of market ?

Sidenote : regulation doesn't mean banning, just tax the junk food heavily so the most vulnerable don't buy it and have clear markers it kills your brain cells just like on cigarettes & alcohol.
The natural response in this case is to communicate anything that is ok to have intercepted directly. E.g.copies of the documents that come from the NSA. Article drafts that'll get published soon anyway.

That leave you with the much simpler task of securing communication of any details that needs to be kept safe, such as any knowledge of other sources, or details that might jeopardise their ability to publish, or the safety of other people. Hopefully that dataset is much smaller to the extent that someone acting as a courier can bring sufficient information "in his head" that remaining details can be rendered "harmless" by leaving out the information passed directly.

It's interesting that Greenwald has admitted Miranda carried documents, as that makes very little sense - presumably they understood the potential of confiscation, and any documents would not be much more secure than if transferred directly.

However Miranda might have carried with him knowledge of information otherwise left out, such as, say, pass phrases or a way to derive additional pass phrases that would allow any intercepted data to be protected better - any data on his devices ought to be inconsequential (at least that's what I'd hope, especially given Snowden mentioning that he started trusted Poitras when he realised she was more paranoid about him than he was about her).

One such method would be for Miranda and/or other associates to take more than one trip. If intercepted you need to try again. If not, one or more of the files transferred might be a set of one time pads and all you need to do to massive increase security is to use said one time pads.

Well then, get a theme. That's the point of something that's meant to be a framework. You're not the only person using it and it's easier for you to download a theme than it is for people that don't use it as-is to reverse engineer the whole thing.
> The value of most stocks in companies is overrated.

If the Efficient Market Hypothesis is true (it's certainly approximately true), then most stocks, most of the time, have exactly the value they ought to have. So no, on average, stocks aren't overrated and investors aren't fools.

Well to a large extent the civil service is meant to "run the country". The political leadership is meant to set the rules and directions, but they don't do the day to day grunt-work, and the civil service provides the continuity between governments and a lot of what they do indeed does span different governments without much interference from the political leadership.

So his "joke" might have been a sinister indication that they are sidestepping political control, or just pointing out the realities of who does the actual work.

If you get over 90% fail rate?

If you say you will pay 500Bucks per Bug reported, you will have a huge Fail rate, even if the Facebook Support is well Motivated after 3hours working, answering to 100Tickets you might not be able to understand something written in that way:

"Rhe vulnerability allow’s facebook users to share posts to non friends facebook users , i made a post to sarah.goodin timeline and i got success post … of course you may cant see the link because sarah’s timeline friends posts shares only with her friends , you need to be a friend of her to see that post or you can use your own authority ."
The initial proof of concept post went to another user, not Mark Z. That was Facebook's basis for denying the claim.
I see the drives being destroyed as a compromise i.e. spooks wanted them, Guardian refused, so a they agreed to destroy them instead.

I sense the Guardian piece doesn't tell the whole story.
Hi there. Go ahead and watch this video from Tesla about how to cut someone out of a Tesla. The very first step is to cut the circuit like you say, but there are a few things you overlooked.

Much of the video is concerned with instructing responders how to cut around components that may remain electrified such as the converter and capacitors which, in Tesla's own words, present a "serious hazard of shock" because "they can release up to 400 volts in just an instant."

If you can exchange a one time pad out of band via a secure channel (say, face-to-face) then you have absolutely unbreakable encryption, no matter how good the attackers are. This doesn't stop side-channel attacks, but it invalidates and questions about the strength of the encryption algorithm.

> MtGox was apologetic in support ticket I filed, but did not explain why it took so long other than they had "issues".

Elsewhere MtGox employees have explained that their bank has limited them to 10 international wire transfers per day due to capacity issues - they claim at one point they were responsible for 50% of the international wire transfers of their bank, the second largest in Japan. Apparently international wire transfers aren't very popular in Japans o they're all processed manually, which doesn't scale to what MtGox are doing.

This is wrong. The reporting guy clearly had white-hat intent and made an effort to alert Facebook to a real security problem. Because of miscommunication and some poor decisions, a message was posted to another user's wall. There was no malicious intent, this was done as a (admiteddly desperate) part of a conversation.

Now is the time for both sides to make their apologies and for Facebook to reward the hacker.

To clear things up - I started writing for Broke-Ass Stuart in January of this year. The FDpod site launched in July 2013 (previous podcasts were hosted on my comedy site). I was mistaken in the timing of the escorting podcast - it was released a few weeks AFTER I was fired (in August 2012), because I felt comfortable at that point.

But things were definitely said around the office about my sexuality, questioning it, etc. which I am obviously more open about than most.

And it won't get easier since "we" want battery capacity to increase.
Someone in another thread pointed out that that page doesn't get translated when you set the language to Arabic, seems likely that the guy just couldn't understand the whitehat TOS for that reason.
As the video explains, even when the battery has been isolated there are other components that remain electrically hazardous such as capacitors and the converter.

Also there is the possibility that the battery itself may be physically compromised in an accident, e.g. it could protrude into the cabin (it sits right under it). Not much you can do to isolate it then.

I'm not talking about the general market of publicly traded companies where your theory applies. I'm talking about the subset of startup companies that typically offer shares instead of payment to employes.

A lot of those are not or only partially investor backed. Even of those that are, most fail, their stock value effectively nil. Of the rest, a large share basically just breaks even which makes their stock pretty much untradeable since practically nobody wants to buy shares in a company that will probably never have a large growth. The tiny tiny rest grows in leaps and bounds and is the next google/facebook/, the stock value multiplying by factors of 10 or more.

Investing in stocks of small startups is a risky business - on average you can make a lot of money, but it takes a lot of capital and endurance to have a large enough portfolio that you actually achieve the average. Otherwise it's luck. My point is: Don't see shares in a company as income. It's an investment and a risky one. Do that with money you can afford to loose and effectively write it off until you've really sold it or the company went public.

I beg of you all, stop with the immediate reaction of trying to figure a way to code around men with lawyers and assault rifles.

Think of where this leads, the current actors who have taken this route. Hosts are "bulletproof" operators sacrificing themselves until raided or de-peered for a low low(high) cost. Nights are slaved away making private end to end networks of proxies and vpns, built to buffer contact from your own servers. You end up paying people to buy your phones.

In the end most are jailed after 'parallel' investigations are made upon them. Associates are thrown in jail with violent offenders so they can be used as snitches when they flip. You are threatened with rape by men of law, "those boys will fuck you good."

Enough with the pathetic urges to code out of this. Please.

I don't buy the `it's better because it's C rather than C++`. For example, "Number of memory allocations is drastically reduced as intrusive containers are used instead of C++ STL containers." can be solved in 3 ways:

1. use an intrusive container in C++.

2. Just use a `vector`, faster in most cases, regardless of complexity.

3. Read about and use allocators properly.
