> I hope very much the industry can improve electrical safety over time.

With regard to the electrical aspects, isn't the safety record on these cars perfect or close to perfect up until this date? That means it's only going to get worse. That does not mean electrical cars are unsafe, it just means there isn't much of a record yet.

My expectation is that there will over time be a small number of electricity-related accidents involving first responders and passengers and that they will be enough to fuel concern trolls until the end of time. That the electrical problems will be so enormous that they dwarf the massive safety gains from better passenger protection of the sort NHTSA is interested in (and frankly, anyone who is about to get hit by an oncoming SUV is interested in) seems awfully counterintuitive.

85KWh is a lot of energy. Back of the envelope calculations puts that at enough to boil around one metric ton of water from 25C.[1] If you wanted to rapidly drain a Tesla you would have to dump that energy somewhere.

That might actually be plausible for firefighters to do[2], but I doubt the battery itself would withstand being drained anywhere near fast enough for an emergency situation. It would probably find some interesting way to fail if you forced it to discharge that fast (bypassing all the safeguards).

[1] 3.06e8 J / (4.181(J/(g * k)) * 75K) = 976,000g ...I probably got that wrong, it's been a long time.

[2] I mean, their main job is getting rid of large concentrations of heat, right? ;)
I have used Bootstrap, Skeleton, and a few others. After a quick read of the docs, here is what I like about Pure:

1. It's lightweight.

2. It is stylistically plain.

3. The grid system is straightforward.
Except that right now you are limited to arithmetic and typed array manipulation. Subset like that is predictable because it is taking away all moving dynamic parts. You become free from questions like "where should I put methods? on prototype or on object itself?" not because you have an answer now, but because you can't have objects, prototypes and methods :-) [well you can but you have to emulate them with typed arrays and virtual dispatch tables, it is likely be slower than "native" JS method dispatch].

I have a mild knowledge of open source, but never felt Opendesk nor Wikhouse ever truly embraced open source despite using the name for kudos, nor do I feel the team operate with a true open source mentality. The Creative commons site is explicit that the CC BY SA license is their license that is closest to open source and do not say that all CC licenses are open source. For me, the precense of the NC tag has always torn me in different directions wondering do I understand this stuff well enough as my understanding is that Opendesk is not actually open, (nor is wikihouse).

With my own separate endevour, I have thought alot about this and wonder what parts of our furniture and the furniture of our community should we open source and what parts should we be opposed to. Opensourcing the design project is fundamentally destructive to the current model of design of which they are pro's and con's to that project, the main pro being that you potentially enlarge the size of the design field which would have be proven, the con being that you discount the value of the design where designers are potentially unable to pay their cost of living which is not a glorious project.

Opensouring CNC joints in a beautiful collection is much closer to what I intend to mean by open source, i.e that the components are open sourced so that community and other communities can create great designs. I believe that primitives should also be opensourced that are not attributed to any designer such as square table with no design thought, much of what may be perceived as classical woodworking designs that have been around for decades if not centuries. But as for opensourcing the final design of the desk you guys have designed, I am fundamentlly against, nevertheless you haven't open-sourced it yet, merely used open source in name for now.
I hope it'll help Yahoo to fix the new shitty design of Flickr.

A worthwhile read on the British history of this subject is "Power without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain"

My biggest take from this is that your notion that "freedom of anyone to use technology to disseminate information" as upheld by the printing establishment is significantly undermined by the business of printing itself - whereby the cost of disseminating information has increased consistently to make a truly "free" press completely prohibitive to the average person. The book goes into great detail about how this happened and the nature of how the internet effects this pattern. I would highly recommend this to anyone reading this thread.

> There's still no medical definition, but psychologists try their best to separate dedicated employees from true addicts.

Psychologists can be relied on to pathologize beneficial behaviors, behaviors that set successful people apart from their peers. Anything that sets you apart, positively or negatively, psychologists will think of a way to call it a disease. If you're intelligent, you have Asperger's and you need help. If you're enthusiastic about your work, you're a work addict and you need help.

But there's light at the end of the tunnel -- in the midst of a firestorm of criticism over release of a new version of the mental diagnosis manual (the DSM, the "bible" of psychiatry and psychology), the director of the NIMH decided to phase it out as as having no scientific value:

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/director/2013/transforming-dia...

Quote: "The strength of each of the editions of DSM has been “reliability” – each edition has ensured that clinicians use the same terms in the same ways. The weakness is its lack of validity ... Patients with mental disorders deserve better."

Obviously this won't stop psychologists from inventing more and better phony diagnoses. But it may stop the public from listening to them.
Yes, Red's branding and marketing could have been fairly called anything from unprofessional to infantile. However, they called Sony out for selling video cameras at cinema-camera prices. The point wasn't even the the price; it was the quality. 1080P crap is not cinema quality or archival quality. Look at all the historic events shot with interlaced SD video, which we'll never have decent images of. That's sad. We can go back and scan film at higher resolutions. You can buy Twilight Zone on Blu-Ray now, looking better than anyone has ever seen it. That's what we should be going for, and that's what Red was about.
When I'm writing code, getters and setters are a huge help for abstraction. I won't give up using a feature only because it's not the "convention". Look at the trouble frameworks like angular and knockout go through (secondary event loop, calling functions for assignments...) because some browsers do not support getters and setters. I can use them on the server side at least.

The problem with NOT documenting PUBLIC APIs is that all behaviour becomes, from the client perspective, undefined.

People keep going back to the point of private API docs - private details are private for a reason. Nobody but the v8 devs need private internal docs, and those MIGHT exist in encyclopedic form somewhere in Google. Those don't interest me. Public APIs are missing (or exceedingly poor, relative to v8's scope).
Indeed. I just finished reading the article on the guardian and my suspicions were certainly wrong. The guardian article

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/19/david-miranda-i...

indicates that David knew he was carrying data, but not what it was. The NYT article

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/20/world/europe/britain-detai...

has Greenwald confirming that David was facilitating the exchange between himself and Poitras of NSA documents.

I shake my head at the matter and wonder why they didn't just use dead drops. Though I wouldn't say this justifies their use of anti-terrorism legislation to perform an extra-judicial shakedown of an individual working in the service of journalism. Free speech is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. One does not need to receive a paycheck from a newspaper to be a journalist or do journalism, nor even be the point man speaking, for journalism is merely the act of speaking informedly to the public at large. Whether you're the final writer, or the editor, or the source, or the courier delivering mail everyday, you're in the service of journalism if the end product is such speech. Any attempt to interfere with that process is repulsive, no matter where in the chain the authorities choose to strike. Sadly though, it seems free speech is not held in very high regard in most parts of the world.

Let's be clear about your hyperbole: in the very near future, everyone will read some news article about the shocking transgressions enabled by the retarded idea of just waltzing around with your entire life story on your person at all times, and they'll wisely avoid ever doing such a stupid, stupid thing.

When you use words like "every", "any", "always" and "all", it can severely weaken your argument.

You don't need to be praying. If no immediate fix can be made in the V8, you will get some recommendations and explanations based on the V8 team knowledge.

I would go as far as saying that bug reports like this are a single most reliable signal of what JS developers want to be fast on the web. By not reporting performance issues and silently working around them you hinder this signal. THere might be bugs and inconsistencies in underlying VM optimizations that can go unnoticed for a long time due to that.

It is now 0.10.xxx ... and before that it was 0.9 ; probably when it becomes 0.99, it will go to 0.100 and so on ... I highly recommend to anyone to avoid using Node in production until its developers grow up, and become responsible for a stable API, and not change their minds every 2 months.
See, as an ex-freelance and now employer, I can tell that a company does a lot more than provide a portfolio. The tradeoff is on multiple levels:

- I pay my employees far less than what I can bill my clients.

- However, if there is no client, I still pay my employees their full rate.

- I pay all associated costs: Workplace and equipment, health insurance, paid holidays, accounting, lawyers where needed, ...

- I pay for the acquisition costs for new jobs

- I bear the full risk of a job going wrong and pay for all settlement costs involved

- I pay the difference if a job is not profitable because the employee fucked up and everything takes longer than planned.

- I get to organise a replacement if the employee falls ill.

Now, $15/hr and $150/hr is quite a bit of a margin, but we don't know if it's before or after taxes and what benefits are included in the pay package. From my personal experience a factor of 4-5 is on the lower end of profitability, so a factor of 10 may still be reasonable.

I invested a lot of capital and time in the company and the reputation that allows me to charge a high rate. That investment needs to pay of at some point.

You choose the safer of two alternatives by getting employed. If you prefer the high risk, high reward route, the go freelance but don't be surprised if things don't go as smooth as you'd think.

Also remember we're talking about an accident scenario. There's no way emergency responders would intentionally run a high voltage circuit like that where there's a risk of short circuit in a physically compromised vehicle.

That approach doesn't work (without a lot of effort) with templates at the level cvv8 uses them. There are literally thousands of InvocationCallback instances in the cvv8 tree, most of which are bound via the XTo templates, which run through 4 or 5 layers of metatemplate magic to do their things. It's a bit more complicated than a drop-in replacement can solve unless the drop-in replacement has the same signature AND type name as the old one (and even then it would require more effort than i'm willing to commit to).
The one thing you learn about car accidents is to not make any assumptions at all about how they progress. Cars can get flipped up and land on their roofs easily, and it doesn't take much for this to happen either. It definitely is not the most common accident but it does happen and frequently enough that they test for it.
This is useful for trying to understand other people. You should always try to figure out how/why a person came to their particular worldview.

> With improvement, I was referring to the complexity of cutting someone out of a Tesla and all the no-cut zones that could electrocute passengers, emergency responders, even guys towing wrecks.

As an electrical engineer with spacecraft experience, I can say that a car like the Model S isn't likely to electrocute anyone. While extracting someone from a wreck, emergency workers use tools like the "jaws of life", strong metal pliers meant to quickly snip a car's body apart.

When a tool like this cuts into an electric car, if it should slice through a power cable, in most cases the tool would short the cable to the car's chassis, thus grounding it and tripping the safety links that are integral to the battery pack. This means the car will become inoperative, but it doesn't mean anyone will get electrocuted.

I think the above will be the outcome in the vast majority of cases. Compare this to the plight of someone sitting in a wrecked gasoline-fueled car.

Stocks are only worth anything if

a) you're allowed to sell them.

b) somebody is willing to buy them

or c) you get a dividend and own a significant portion.

The value of most stocks in companies is overrated. Yes, your company might be the next google and you'll hit gold but most companies shares are worth little to nothing. Depending on the company structure they might have some interesting rights attached - such as being allowed a look in the books, being invited to the shareholders meeting etc. Stuff that allows you to judge how well your company is doing. Just don't take them as if their cash value is fixed. It will be somewhere between 0 and infinity.

She's probably hitting order as we speak. She's already recouped 2/3 of the cost and will probably get all of it.

Now, if they're sitting in a plush hotel room asking for cash to be enticed into using their fancy camera for something useful– then your sentiment would make more sense.

> They're going to be focused on containing the energy not draining it.

In an emergency that involves extracting passengers from an electric car, the most likely outcome is that the battery will get shorted to the car's chassis, at which point the emergency links in the battery will open up, isolating the battery from the rest of the car and its passengers.

OP here. The job of a headline or title isn't to "objectively" encapsulate the essence of an entire story, not in the least because that is an impossible task most of the times.

That's per million vehicle years not per million miles.

When I read your comment I realized something must be off and went to check the source data. Imagine if the average driver drives 20K miles / year it would take only 50 drivers to get to million miles. If the death rate of cars would even approach 50 deaths per million miles then everybody would stand a good chance of dying in a car accident. Clearly this is not the case.
If GCHQ wishes to have my laptop harddrive destroyed to destroy data (I don't know - maybe they don't like 8-bit chiptunes or something), all they'd achieve would be that I'd have to restore from my RAID mirror on my home server, the rsync'd third drive on my home server, or from my remote backup outside the UK.

Complete physical destruction of any one copy just indicates they're either clueless or assumes their adversary is entirely clueless.

Furthermore, my first reaction to a risk of harddrive destroying GCHQ goons would be to sign up to a few more online backup services, and hide another NAS somewhere under my floorboards and maybe get my mom outside the UK to host an external drive for me to mirror to.

In the Guardians case, the have multiple reporters on this case, have Greenwald in Brazil, as well as have provided data to Poitras in Berlin and to Washington Post, and doubtlessly they have other reporters outside the UK. In other words: Plenty of places to leave copies.
