I'd be interested in finding out more about this. My parents (who live in NH, which gets its fair share of cold days) have a Prius and don't notice any mileage hit in the winter - in fact not running the A/C seems to help things more than cold would hurt. But there's definitely a difference between a hybrid and a full electric...
I dunno, given the other story today[1] about the Tesla S blowing away everyone else in safety tests, I wouldn't put it past them to have considered escapability after a roll-over in the X.

There is a huge difference between in video from a DSLR and a RED camera. DSLRs can take a 5K+ still image topping out at 8-10fps, yet only records HD video. DSLR video is a heavily compressed 8bit 4:2:0 H.264 video with ~50mbps data rate. RED cameras record 4K+ video in a RAW format that is only slightly compressed and can do this up to 120fps. Comparing a DSLR to a RED or other RAW format camera is not being fair.

There is a reason a DSLR is priced < $5000. They are great for what they are, but people are not being honest if they consider a DSLR at the same level as a RED or any other higher end digital video camera.
Why is that some people trivialize any important political or societal question into BS pop psychology about the actor's motives? We could not care less about those.

Perhaps the result of too many bad hollywood movies focusing on "character development", a legacy of puritanism, being conditioned by crap news coverage to turn everything into gossip. Oh, and inexperience with thinking politically.

>The personal cost wasn't due his ethics, it was due to his inability to shut up.

You just couldn't contain your disdain for the man, right? I see some projection in play here, if you allow me the same BS pop psychology.
In my (limited) experience, for expressions make for some of the most concise code I've seen. So many problems can be represented as a chain of Options or Futures mixed with standard {val x = expression y} expressions.
Agreed! I've come to really appreciate their utility. One of our vehicles has them and they are fantastic. Nice piece of mechanical engineering as well.

And, BTW, not much wrong with conventional doors either. Judging by the tens of millions of cars sold every year wold wide I'd say conventional doors work pretty well.

I as a tax payer support the healthcare in part. I'd be happier if other people were healthier, as I'd be paying less.

Don't get me wrong, I love our healthcare system. I am trying to explain the reasoning for the authors post.
The fact that SY thinks "legally sound" is the important issue shows how much of a disconnect there is between government and public.

It's pretty obvious that half if not most of the crap the NSA is pulling the in States is explicitly illegal and that does nothing to raise the ire of most politicians, the president, the lamestream media, and the NSA itself.

That's what happens with a police state, people are only targeted when they're on the wrong side.
A literate programming explanation of "a non-toy autocompleter input field" in Clojurescript. The comparative aspect stems from comparing his design with the tightly bound jQuery UI autocompleter. This seems to complete a trio of posts demoing the value of clojurescript's core.async library for traditionally tedious client-based webapp/sites.

His post opens with the spec & demo, but the title buries the lead. This is unfortunate, as his topic may have appealed to more HN visitors than the title lets on.
When I first saw hacker-scouts I immediately thought it had something to do with the BSA. Probably similar to how if you see something starting with a lower case i you associate it with Apple. Both organizations are based on their users trusting their brand so its not surprising they would both aggressive in defending that brand. Full disclosure: I'm an Eagle Scout
I first came across Twisted Python and Deferreds years ago, and it was my first introduction to the world of asynchronous programming. It was a little bit difficult to wrap my head around the intricate braid of callbacks and errbacks, but once I realised they mapped directly onto sequential statements and try/except in synchronous code, I got a lot done.

In the intervening years, I've seen a lot of projects re-implementing asynchronous programming (A perfectly valid idea, Twisted certainly has enough backwards-compatibility warts to warrant an occasional rebuilding), but the early attempts used bare callbacks for everything, which I found frustrating because I felt Deferreds were clearly a better system. Later attempts introduced "Futures" or "Promises" which were slightly better than bare callbacks but did silly things like pass the same initial result to every registered callback instead of being composable. These almost-but-not-quite-entirely-unlike-Deferreds were even more infuriating, in a "somebody is wrong on the Internet" kind of way.

I'm really glad to see Guido picking the best ideas out of Twisted's Deferreds and trying to make them accessible to a professional-developer audience. If your language/runtime doesn't support some kind of co-routines, then your only hope for dealing with asynchronous code to tame callbacks, and Deferreds are the best model I've come across for doing that.

(Guido mentions he won't be using Deferreds or Deferred-analogues in his Tulip async framework, for undisclosed reasons. I'm betting those reasons are that modern Python does have workable co-routines, so callbacks and callback-taming aren't necessary.)

The first title doesn't correctly translate what the article is about. The quote might well be taken from a ranty essay, and without context hints at empty sensationalism.

This doesn't make the second title ‘objectively’ more descriptive, though. A person who happens to miss Miranda's name in news and isn't familiar with Schedule 7 term, such as myself, wouldn't find it descriptive at all.

Still, second title looks subjectively better to me. I'd say ‘all reporters’ is bad phrasing for HN (the article doesn't imply that every reporter, regardless of their country or what they write about, now faces danger), and HDD destruction may deserve mentioning (it seems central to the story), but overall this headline does better job at translating the spirit of the article and sets correct expectations for the reader.
Which one would be more "forward-thinking"? Stopping all immigration or banning pepsi from schools?

False Dichotomy. Which one would be more forward-thinking: destroying the farm subsidies that let unhealthy foods become cheaper than healthy foods and skew the market, or having governments, like the one that brought you the 'food pyramid' and pushed it on schools, decide what you can and cannot consume?
Obama administration == US government. True or false? Are they the same?
Sadly, this is the exact effect this is having on my view of government. I've lost so much trust in the government that I no longer believe anything they have to say. And not just on the always misguided war on terror; I've lost faith in anything that comes from most high-level government officials.

James Clapper showed me the consequences of lying to congress, and I have no reason to believe other officials aren't also taking advantage of the leniency.
> This takes a long time, which means that politics, metaphorically speaking, has massive momentum and takes a long to change direction.

I've said for a very long time that Newton's First Law (conservation of momentum, or inertia) applies for all masses. Including masses of people.

Hell, I've even joked that it may actually apply better to masses of people.

The silly thing is, I had arrived at that conclusion before I had ever read Asimov's Foundation.

> People should not need to care about IR or (worse) disassembly. If your code is reasonable it should just work reasonably fast. File bugs if it does not, instead of tuning, which can break as soon as V8 moves left or right.

The trouble with this is that the results are not in your own hands. Developers have bosses and deadlines and all that, and when it comes down to it, they just need to make it work. In that position, it's awfully hard to "submit a bug report and pray," and though it's not optimal, the ability to get into the guts of things can satisfy the immediate need.

Wow....I can't quite understand the actions of governments these days.

Did they really think that they could literally destroy the hard drives of the journalists working on these NSA scandals and that story wouldn't become a major story?

As in....really now. Any amount of legitimacy that the Snowden leaks didn't have before, just got significantly bolstered with this type of action.

How is this government still in power?
> it's like Twisted is contagious. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I can. Twisted is viral (not in a good way always). Once you start using Twisted you are doomed and stuck in a parallel reality of Twisted-only libraries forever. I have used Twisted professionally for 4+ years, this is not something I just read on a blog.

You first say "Oh, I know look at the cute example of parsing a line protocol with it, let my try that. That was easy, I should adopt it". And then it got you. You want to fetch data from a particular database. That's easy, github has a project in Python that does it. Oh but you need it to return a deferred now. You can't simply make a connection and block because it blocks the reactor. This library is no good, you either have to pray someone who knows Twisted wrote a Twisted version of it, or you have to write your own.

As you pointed out, you can use code to combine threaded and deferred code but it is not fun or easy. Make sure you think twice before adopting it.

BTW the best way to learn it is to use it. Don't read about it. Reading about it won't help much. It is one of those subjects, like riding a bike if you don't know how. Once you get it you get it and it becomes easy. What is not easy is library fragmentation.

You have been down-voted and perhaps I'll be too for my negativity. But I am worried about infatuation with Twisted and Promises in recent (last year and on) Python design emails and moving them more to be part of the standard library.

I think this is a not healthy move for Python and a step forward. I'll speak my mind and if you feel this is too negative, just downvote, I'll understand, but I think it has to be said. They are copying what they are seeing in other language hint: node.js (Javascript). I feel there is a bit of jealousy, Python is maturing, its last exciting thing was 3.0. PyPy has been relegated to the magic academic research corner (unfairly I think). But, node.js and Javascript on the server is not successful because it has a callback style of concurrency. There are other reasons. So copying that aspect won't make Python more appealing. Heck, Python had an awesome callback library for ages -- Twisted, when Javascript was still use to make buttons flash and Java applets were the hot thing. Did it take off? Somewhat, but not really. It was famously hard to grok. The freshest breath of air so far in practical Python use on the server is using greenlet. But that also has been pushed to sort of "ah it is dirty, we don't like, how will you ever know if your code switches co-routines". Well it is not perfect but it is most practical and performant to date. I wish that became part of core Python. I wish they copied more from Go, Rust or Erlang rather than a callback style concurrency with some extra sauce on top. A

Anyway, ending my rant here, and hoping I didn't upset too many people already.
> In common Twisted programming a deferred can not fire before you add the callback since the only way a deferred can fire (for typical async work!) is through the proactor (which Twisted calls the reactor) and you haven't yet returned control to the proactor.

d = Deferred()
d.callback(42)
return d

Hey, I just made a Deferred that fired before any callbacks were added! In fact, this is such a common occurrence that there's helper functions in the "defer" module to do it: defer.succeed() and defer.fail(). In particular, this sort of thing is very useful for unit-testing Deferred-based APIs.

What kind of updates come in Tesla software releases, and also how do they get into the car? I've actually never thought about this at all.
This time is different, but they won't realize it.

I worked for a similar company, and constantly predicted the fiscal end of it. The CEO was siphoning off money any way he could. I was let go in 2009, and at that point the half-yearly general staff meetings were so mundane, I just stopped going and asked others "how many times did he say 'tighten our belts'.

I visited last year and the mood had changed - the dispatch staff said that they had product and orders to ship, but no money for cardboard boxes to ship them in.

They are still somehow going this year.

Investment banking intern found dead after working long hours.
I like Tesla and I like this car okay, but that is not a crossover. I have a Nissan Rogue which is on the smaller side of the crossover range and the body height it still significant enough where you could tell it's certainly not a sedan even with a casual glance. The only similarity that has is the flat back.

Good luck as well with those falcon wing doors when you're trying to park at your downtown football stadium or of course, wanting any roof accessories. Once again, not a crossover, because crossover basically means a small engine SUV. This is a sedan with a flat ass.

Wouldn't there be major safety concerns during a rollover? How the hell would you get out of your burning Model X?
Please do not think that I am totally retarded :)

The problem I see is that there are two terms of "healthy" food that people tend to confuse.

1) Food that makes you Overweight
2) Food that does not have specific oils/ Vitamins.

Apologys for not writing clearly there, I tried to make the point that you usually don't need to care about Vitamins.
Ultimately, all the rest of the threats have to be supported by the one at the bottom, which is death. Prisons can be overthrown by a rebellion, and the only way to stop a rebellion that won't negotiate is with deadly force.

The reason I and so many others dislike government intervention so strongly is for this very reason - it is the one organization which we allow to police all others with our collective power of death, and its role should thus be as small as possible in order to avoid abusing that awful responsibility.

As for toxic vs. unhealthy food, I'm not a nutritionist or biologist, so I won't attempt a scientific distinction, but essentially someone selling drain cleaner and saying it's drinkable is wrong, while someone selling soda and saying it's drinkable isn't. A healthy person can have a soda without negative health effects - those only show up if you drink it excessively. Drain cleaner is enormously damaging to your body period, no matter your health or whether you drink it regularly or not.
Charles Stross deals with this somewhat humorously in the "Laundry Files" novel series. The protagonist is a hacker who was drafted into a (paranormal) spy agency. He still has to do computer support and go to committee meetings, though (lest his supervisor outsource the network rebuild, or have the BSA do a software audit).
You are right. I _think_ what they meant to say was that the deferred can only fire once. You cannot call .callback() twice. Or adding deferreds to it after it fired won't get those functions called.

However, even with respect to your example, it is not idiomatic. Yes you can do anything on anything in Python. And in testing you often monkey-patch and mock things. Which doesn't mean you'd do often in production code. The idea of deferreds is to help with highly concurrent IO applications. It will be a file descriptor (socket) or a timer that will fire your callback more than often.
Could you explain some of the reasons for needing a client side framework for a web app? I've always just used requirejs and wrote modules and that has worked for me as I try to keep as much server side as possible, but I realize my experience in the industry is limited so I wanted to hear some arguments for client side frameworks. I've been flamed in a few freenode channels just for bringing them up.

Though as a counterpoint, I've seen cars with the roof cut off to extract people, but never the side doors or the floor cut open. I don't think they'd cut the floor since it's quite thick and has all sorts of wires and pipes anyway.

I'd disagree that "abusing people's addiction for financial gain" is equivalent to violence. It amounts to judging the psychological state of other people and making legal judgments based on that, which is something that should be approached with tremendous caution lest we find ourselves reenacting the horrors of the government-run insane asylums of the early 20th century and the policies of the Eugenics of Chesterton's day. (Chesterton's work "Eugenics and Other Evils" gives an excellent treatment of the subject).

THIS.

Couldn't have put it better. The men romanticize about life back home. The women don't. They dot want their daughters going back to a place where they're treated as second class citizens. They often know that even their own families would lock them back into a situation where the lost many f the freedoms they learn to appreciate living in America.

I had a good friend tell me one if the key reasons many women stay in abusive marriages back in India is because if they divorce their husbands they genuinely feel they will simply be opened up as fair game for rape by any man who feels like it.

I'm highly offended by the folks in this thread who've even saying things like - yes it's bad for women in India but the us has it's problems. That's not the same as living either a second class status or in constant fear.

One if my favorite movie lines, familiar to many on this site, comes to mind: "how does it feel to live in fear? That's what it is to be a slave".

Are ALL Indian men likely to act this way. No of course not. So let's avoid the straw man of "not everyone behaves this way". This is the cumulative effect of enough people and the culture they live in.

Men in the west are definitely comfortable respecting the cultural values of other countries without a though or care for what those values mean for half the population and that they're often enforced through brutal violence against women or the threat of that violence used to intimidate.

Interesting. The change is almost totally attributable to ESC (electronic stability control), which directly addresses SUV's Achilles' heel. It's also interesting to note the variability in results -- the Audi A6 is one of the safest luxury vehicles (I suspect the Tesla S will change that), and the Honda Accord is remarkably safe for a mid-sized sedan (though the Civic doesn't do as well relative to its class).

It's also interesting to note that pickups can fare quite poorly (the Nissan Titan Crew Cab is among the worst vehicles listed), and even within the same manufacturer, lager models aren't necessarily safer (Mazda 3 at 52 deaths/million miles, Mazda 6 at 60). The error bounds and total miles (exposure) on a number of the larger SUVs are also large and small respectively, suggesting a possible data collection limitation.
I agree, it really does sound like the perfect example of economic market failure hitting the requirements of (1) monopoly/oligopoly and (2) causing negative externalities (in health) but I find it hard to call it so because of one reason - the demand curve intersects the supply curve at current market prices. The people are getting what they want to pay for and the suppliers are more than glad to provide them that.

This is more like an unplanned emergence of manufactured consent in the agricultural/food/health industry. No single company, lobby, or agency planned on turning our world upside down and replacing grocery stores and farmer's markets with supermarkets and drive-thrus.

What happened was that over the past hundred years, innovative companies in the food industry came out with delicious snacks, fast foods, and ready-to-eat meals that created a market that never existed before. When these companies grew and got stronger, their marketing message became embedded in the common sense - eat cereal for breakfast, drink 8 glasses of water etc. It was in the best interest of these companies to say "Tired at 2pm? Take some 5 hour energy!" And the consumers voluntarily started stocking up on 48 packs of Capri Sun and 128oz bags of Ruffles.

As the companies grew, they were acquired and optimized to sell only the most profitable products. Over time organizations and agency sprouted up to protect the interests of the industry's capital, labor, and assets. If that meant ensuring corn was subsidized, so be it. If sugarcane sugar tariffs needed to remain high, so be it.

It is easy to claim market failure looking at this solely from the supply side but from the demand aspect, the current market is paradise. Regardless of how good or bad the products are, people genuinely want them. Every now and then, I myself want a can of Pringles. Fulfilling the demands at prices low enough to satiate the consumers does not seem like a market failure to me.
Simply don't order, I haven't used those for 10 years. It's just really outdated manner.
