Collection of evidence is one of the explicit motivations for search incident to arrest. The whole idea is that they might find more stuff. Think of it as a case where probable cause is implied.

And hey: I didn't make you paranoid. The very- long- settled- law of the land made you paranoid. I didn't make this up!
That's not culture so much as it is the side effect of culture merged with their current development state as a country. That is, if India's quality of living and development were advanced to that of the west, there probably wouldn't be anything objectively inferior culture-wise.
And I think it's worth it for them to spend CEO time on it.

Because the difference is not just between people reading good PR vs mediocre PR, but whether people will actually read it. (I.e. if it's not worth doing well, might as well not do it.)
The problem is that voting for the lesser of two evils is that in the current situation it means, largely, rooting for the loser on the race to the bottom.

Voting is a minor part of engagement. It is not a replacement for everything else. Voting for the greater evil may be good strategy sometimes, even, if it is to punish a party and insist that we need better candidates, or elected officers which will follow through on things.
There have been several real-world crashes of the Tesla S, and none, as far as I know, have resulted in any injuries to the driver.

One was even a head on crash at fairly high speeds which killed the other vehicle's driver. The Tesla S driver walked away. Tesla never fails to amaze me.
In short, a good buy requires two things:

1) Potential for growth

2) Potential for growth that everybody else hasn't already recognized

Tesla is dandy for #1, but isn't looking too hot on #2.
If he spies on everyone, foreign or domestic, is it a "domestic spying program?"
All the auto clubs around cars with empty front sections call them frunks.
Don't get me wrong, you're right. It is even legally, but not in nominal terms of value. If I do front end web development for 15$ an hour, but am sold to a customer for 150$ an hour, there's no question in terms of value that the arrangement is unfair. As for your point regarding business success, that's not really my call nor do I have a say. How can I accept losses on behalf of another employee's decision? Surely I'd be fired for bringing in less value than I was earning in the role mentioned.
I know enough to have already exited the bubble market that's not too far from busting.
Scaling up quality is not trivial. You can bet they are working on it.
That's amazing! I had no idea the F1 was so sturdy. My assumption (probably common) is that these super light exotics disintegrate when hitting large insects, let alone walls.
Faking is not really the point.

No, but giving reasonably accurate information about what kind of user agent is being used is. If you write your own browser, yes, you're probably better off telling a website that it's, say, Firefox than telling it it's "Joe's Really Cool Browser v1.0". But if you're writing a program whose purpose is not to display pages to the user, but to do something else, your program shouldn't be telling web servers that it's a program whose purpose is to display pages to the user.
Yeah, we still don't know why he was fired.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the type of thing they use for crushing cars for scrap metal, not testing how much pressure it takes.
Given the fact that Snowden knew the pervasiveness of the NSA spying programs, I'm guessing he knew that it wouldn't have been hard for the government to deduce that he was the leaker eventually. Plus, it was pretty likely the government kept track of its workers in a way that would have made it even easier to identify the leaker eventually.

So he probably decided to just cut to the publicity part to protect himself. In either case, you don't really know he was in it for fame.

> How does an unsuccessful salesman owe you several thousand dollars? And you are saying you withheld money at the time of firing.

There are many approaches to paying a sales person. I've probably tried them all. This particular variant was one where you pay a base salary, say, $30K/year and, on top of that, a advance on unearned commissions. So, every week the sales guy is getting a check with two components, one he earned and one he is presumed to earn in the future.

In most agreements the sales person is liable for any commission that was not earned at the time of separation. If I paid you $5,000 in advanced commissions and you only earned $2,500 at the time of separation you owe me $2,500. That's money I was loaning you every week on the assumption that you would sell and actually earn it in the future.

This is standard stuff, nothing revolutionary here. I have to say that as an engineer dealing with sales people was one of the most difficult and gut wrenching things I've ever had to do. It took me years to understand the, sorry, sub-species. I've seen it all.

Anyhow, the fellow in question had been advanced commissions for nearly 90 days before I let him go. Yes, I was a sap back then. I actually kept thinking that this guy would wake up after my frequent pep talks and start selling. I let him float by all the way to the 90 day mark. When I laid him off I gave him a check equivalent to four weeks of his base pay and withheld (did not pay him) the commission advance I had been paying him all along. Why? He was gone. Like I said, he actually owed me money. And, again, I was nice. I was only supposed to pay him two weeks at the point I let him go. It was near the holidays and I decided to give him another couple of weeks to be helpful. Big mistake. This was during my early days of dealing with such folks and, true to what I said above, I was a total sap. BTW, I've never had problems with engineers, web developers, marketing people, production folks, not even the shipping dudes (other than the occasional swiping of wrenches and minor tools from the shop). No, it was always the sales guys that kept me up at night until I learned.

Here in California the labor department is decidedly anti-business. It was almost a foregone conclusion that his complaint would be decided on his favor. I was too naive and inexperienced to understand the game being played.
Yep, they're all the same Obama. He's a politician, nothing more, and with all the negative connotations that implies.
Not an attorney here.

The case we're talking about was search after arrest.

If immunity [to a warrantless search] is to be conceived of as a rule, there is one exception that has been established as firmly as the rule itself.  The government may search the person of the accused when legally arrested to discover and seize the fruit or evidences of crime.

also (cited in Harris v US):

The right without a search warrant contemporaneously to search persons lawfully arrested while committing crime and to search the place where the arrest is made in order to find and seize things connected with the crime as its fruits or as the means by which it was committed, as well as weapons and other things of effect an escape from custody is not to be doubted.

Officer safety is one of three motivations for search incident to arrest I've read about; two more are evidence collection (as above), and mitigating the risk that evidence that could later be collected via warrant might be destroyed.

Terry stops, on the other hand, are motivated solely by officer safety.

I read GauntletWizard's point as that such devices are becoming like "brain prostheses." If the device were embedded in your skull/brain, but could be wiretapped, would it be subject to the fifth amendment? If technology develops to read information from another's brain without their consent, would that be subject to the fifth amendment?
It's contradicted by title 36 itself, which gives the same exclusive use of words the organization adopts to girl scouts.
What is absolutely stunning about what Tesla is building is simply that they are building gorgeous vehicles with great features/performance and they are charging appropriately for them. They aren't built to fit into a particular price range or demographic, they're built to be great vehicles, so that people will want to buy them.

I'll admit it, I want to buy a Tesla, even if it makes no financial sense for me to do so.
The Gull-wing [1] doors have been around for a while, you probably noticed them on the DeLorean from Back to the Future series. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG [2] is a modern car which also has them.

a) Loyalty is a sentiment meant for living beings, not corporations, and

b) When a corporation knows you're "loyal", what they really know is that your threshold for leaving is higher than non-loyal employers of the same skill level, telling them that incentives are better spent on those high flight risk employees than you. You lose.
A virtual box, no. Or... There are some ideas about how to make it work if you run the hypervisor and want to allow trusted folks to audit that, say, you're not logging or are running specific software. But to do it on 3rd party infrastructure, no.

A physical box with some hacks, potentially - though even then there are challenges.

https://www.havenco.com is planning to get into that later this year in well-connected collos in the US and EU, with cameras and pluggable USB displays to allow users to verify machine identity.

The target is $50/mo per machine and potentially lower (though that may require some kickstarter magic to do a Lima-like low-end hardware with serial console). For super low end, mount local LAFS or encfs+NFS or encfs+fuse+S3 storage, depending on the use case.

On top of that though you'd have to set paranoia vs convenience tradeoffs - do you trust a KVM? Want to drive to the machine and do serial console yourself? FOSS KVM or cheap serial console box?
I feel like understanding the author really when thinking about my first contact to "foreach" in C#.

to me foreach

1) had a totally different syntax then the rest of the language
(It felt painful as if somebody mixed up German Gamma with English words --- http://forum.werder.de/showthread.php?4107-My-lovely-mister-... )

2) seemed to have no use (I did not yet make any magic with Arrays...)

3) was difficult to read

4) nothing I would understand (back then)

so I closed my eyes for it...

Nowadays I believe it is a must have, whenever you are doing magic with an array.
And for me it became a very powerful tool.
Much of these costs will be "built in" to the price per square foot. Land in Wyoming is cheap precisely BECAUSE it is empty and shopper-free - it has lower profit potential. No one will pay $10k/sq ft for space in Wyoming because it would take forever to make their money back. Simple economics - supply and demand - there is ample supply in wyoming but no demand.

Inventory is also a bad metric, Wal-Mart for example makes much of its profits by way of logistics (getting stuff onto the shelves as it sells), not by keeping inventory in stores.
The falcon wings - rather the gull wings - have been around forever. The problem is that you need a significant roof height in order for them to open.

Ever tried parking in a cramped multi-storey car park? You'll be crawling out of your car via the foot well. It's the main reason they've never taken off, but I'm guessing only the rear doors are like this.
Consistency across scales of abstraction, amazingly rare...

Right. Objectifying women is okay as long as they get paid. And I guess in this fantasyland rape never happens too.
Great link. What is the rationale for reporting death rates in terms of vehicle-years, rather than rate per mile traveled?

What if SUVs just get driven less (due to poor mileage, only being taken out in the snow...)
This quote rings true, "But anybody claiming to have loyalty to “The Team” is engaging in office politics."
Gull wing doors seem great unless you're tall (anything over 6 foot). For tall people they smack you in the head every time.
Agreed on craft vs work in this context. I think however, it is more generally applicable to things done not for pay too.

I sometimes call this "ownership of work" which has two components. The first is the ability to do your job your way (but collaboratively as needed), without micromanagement, and the second is to take pride in doing it the best way you can.

This is applicable in the work force in the sense that micromanagement is evil and that good tradesmen are good workers but it is also applicable to things like washing dishes: Do a good job but dont let anyone else tell you how to do a good job!
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but is there anything new here regarding the Model X (e.g. pricing) or is this just an FYI for people who may not have been aware that it was a thing? At a glance I'm not seeing anything that looks to have changed recently on this page.
What's new here? I don't see any change from yesterday ...
And you didn't even mention global warming or the Republican party.
>Extra effort for increased safety is definitely worth it, if anything at least for marketing purposes.

More to the point, traffic deaths are a /real danger/ - more people are killed by falling appliances than by terrorism, and we seem to think it's worth spending huge amounts of money, going to war with the rest of the world, and giving up many of our own rights to fight terrorism. For most of us? Terrorism is not a real threat. For most of us, especially us middle-class Americans, If we die before we get old? there is a pretty large chance that death will be in a traffic accident. If we want to increase safety, we should be spending thousands of dollars on auto safety for every dollar we spend "fighting terrorism"

I used to love them when I lived in Germany. I found it hilarious when I discovered the reason because its one case where "Won't someone please think of the children" results in a mental seg-fault if you stop to think about it.
Buzzkill.
You're probably right. I'm definitely an idealist but I'm an odd case. I believe in total pacifism and confederate municipalism. I also believe that good only comes from grief. We'll have to die/suffer/make a lot more mistakes if we're going to be able to function as a consensus based anarchy.

This showterm stuff is cool, but I really don't think it's ready for prime time. Besides breaking browser navigation by filling up the history or something, all the terminals play simultaneously when I open the page, and once a terminal finishes none of the buttons work anymore, only the manual slider. This is in Chrome.
This is largely true, but it is why it is better to negotiate with the would-be employer with you as the supplier and them as the customer. In other words, it is better to be self-employed and negotiate your own rates on that basis.
An interesting question.
Again, the main historical reason for the fifth amendment was torture, not to avoid knowing the truth, or that you were somehow magically sacred.

If you could read it out of people's brains, harmlessly, painlessly, etc, i think that would be fine.

Now remember, the fifth amendment protections apply in custodial settings (and similar), so you would already have to have been arrested/etc at this point (IE probable cause would have existed).

In that situation, if i could read your brain to get the truth, harmlessly, and painlessly, I have trouble seeing how that would be against the reason the fifth amendment was created (now, it may arguably run afoul of the fifth amendment as written, though things like blood tests, etc, are not considered testimonial. I don't believe literal memories would be either)
The peculiar excess found in US supermarkets is not something I would translate to the world cross-the-board though.

This might not be as much of a problem for most of the target market, but I was really excited about the Tesla X until I heard about the doors - meaning no roof rack options at all. Here in Utah, I would love a nice, capable car in the snow with plenty of room for gear, but if I can't put mountain bikes on the roof or a roof box with skis on it in the winter, it's not very useful...

Maybe I'm just not in the target demographic, but I can't imagine I'm the only one who wants roof racks on my electric SUV...
I agree with you, but I'd have hoped the outrageous shit happening now would be enough to break the two-party dynamic, but I'm rather doubting it, having seen that the reactions are defined by the media in an entirely two-party manner. I think if anything from the NSA leaks changes this dynamic, it will be the exodus of technology dollars from the US.

I'd gladly go up against every sports car that the Tesla beats off the line and the quarter mile. Which is quite a few.
I am afraid it looks a little too much like an Aztek from the rear.

It does make the S v X v Blue Star decision a little harder.

I substitute "lesser of two evils" with "neither of two evils" but it ends at the same place.

I believe any rational actor would behave as Bush and Obama have during their terms in office. For this reason I can't justify voting for a third party candidate, either, because I still believe they'd act similarly, and with less inherent power, they'd be more easily swayed into acting irrationally (being president helps a great deal in working within your respective national committee, and an independent wouldn't have that support).

The only conclusion I'm forced to face is the undeniable statistical fact that, individually, it doesn't matter if I vote at all.
Same reason as bucky balls. Kids might eat it. [1]

> Of note, during validation of Model S roof crush protection at an independent commercial facility, the testing machine failed at just above 4 g's. While the exact number is uncertain due to Model S breaking the testing machine, what this means is that at least four additional fully loaded Model S vehicles could be placed on top of an owner's car without the roof caving in. This is achieved primarily through a center (B) pillar reinforcement attached via aerospace grade bolts.

lol, they broke the testing machine
Interesting. I wonder how this compares with Google's Summer of Code program completion statistics (at least back when it started).

If you wind up with several companies that are judged as likely to be successful, what will you do? You can't reasonably split multiple companies 50/50 with others, because you won't be able to give adequate time. Getting a business off the ground is just the very first step. You're practically dooming businesses to failure if you can't fully commit to them because you are splitting time between multiple companies.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be fair to bet on one of the companies and then reject working on others, even if they might be viable businesses.
