Of course you're right (and I agree - that's why I said there's many challenges).

I was questioning your analogy with Apple. I'm sure they could win the low-end; but they don't want to.

Addressing the question of whether Musk can win it... well, firstly it is uncertain (and he might get hit by the proverbial bus), so we have to factor that in. But, some first mover factors in his favour: he's further along the engineering learning curve than anyone else; and further along winning market headspace; and further along getting every little business thing right to make it all happen.
That is, he has a high probability of succeeding.

Secondly, I think Toyota or General Electric are better comparisons than with GM (whose cap reflects its terrible shape), which are 5 times bigger. (see the figures in my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6567057)
That is, the potential prize is larger than given in the article.

Whether Tesla is over-priced or not I couldn't say - except that the market overreacts to both good news and bad news, so it's probably best to wait for a dramatic stuff up that doesn't actually affect its real business prospects, and buy the depressed stock.

I absolutely love Tesla, but saying 30,000 is in everyones price range is a little off.

Look at Fords lowest price vehicle, around 14k. Tesla can not compete with that at this time.

There are plenty of other factors that go into purchasing a vehicle than price which include being able to go to a showroom and test drive a car. I have to travel at least 5 hours to see a Tesla dealership, I love Tesla, but I won't be driving 5 hours to go to a dealership to test drive one. I just don't have the time.

In order to get a normal American family in a Tesla the price has to come down to the ~20-25k range.
There could be a predisposition for males to be attracted by noisy or fast moving things, because that is what they will have to care about when they grow up, in a hunter gatherer society. Have you seen kitten chasing things? They are obviously predisposed to grab and chase and their early games prepare them for hunting in adult life. There could be a "car gene" as much as there could be a "play with a doll" gene. Wishful thinking cannot remove such a possibility.

Wow, beautiful desk! I really like how the stained butcher block turned out.

I tried to build a desk with a butcher block top and metal base but my metal construction sucked and it was wobbly. I'll keep your post in mind if I build another desk.
I guess I should have phrased it better -- that both are basically trying to "improve" upon perceived faults in vanilla JS, as well as adding perceived useful functionality. It's just that "improve" and "useful" is an implementation-specific definition that's defined by the particular project owners.

Thanks for the thorough info though, I've only used TS a little and CS none at all, though from what I've seen I'd side with you in that CS tries to be too clever and/or is too foreign for my non-Ruby brain, whereas TS more closely melds with my skillset.
Docker and Chef are not mutually exclusive. Case in point: http://deis.io/ is a PaaS that uses Chef extensively for orchestration of containers. There are other approaches that don't use CM (e.g. CoreOS) but they are still very early.

I do agree that Docker makes Chef less appealing for automating deployment of applications that should be containerized -- most web apps, Redis, etc. However, Docker is not yet suitable for every workload. For example, if your application/service has complex storage or networking requirements, Docker may not be a good fit (yet).

They also mention Greasemonkey scripts, which is functionally the same as running script from your console, so I believe it'd still apply.

> TypeScript is more of a way for Microsoft to develop large scale JavaScript apps productively,

This implies that you can't develop large scale apps without type checking, which obviously isn't true.

What's more likely is that Microsoft hires a lot of developers that know the "VS way" of coding, which is using intellisense and type checking, and they made a language that conformed to that. Which is the same thing as I originally said.
I'm curious to know more about how you got your domain name. How did you find out who the owner was? It couldn't have been as simple as looking at the WHOIS and picking up a phone right?
You can catch garbage comments in code reviews just as easily as you can catch other forms of programming garbage during review. The fact that someone might make a lot of bad comments is not a good argument against commenting, it's a good argument against bad commenting.

I also think that if people are in the habit of having to comment it makes them more likely to document things like expected values of the input, what the return could be expected to be, and if there are any caveats.
There is no "right" free software/open source spirit of community involvement. It begins and ends with the licenses used, full stop. Beyond that no one has any right to say how other people should run their projects. If they don't like it, they can fork it thanks to the licensing, but even when that happens it doesn't mean that the original maintainers were somehow less free software/open source.

The heritability of intelligence: Not what you think
If you listen to the vegans pigs are 4th after chimps, dolphins, and elephants. (http://www.veganpeace.com/animal_facts/Pigs.htm)

But maybe they're inflating the pig's intelligence because they don't want people to eat pigs?
Somewhere about as smart as dogs, if popular trivia is to be believed. Interestingly, there isn't a universal taboo against eating dogs either, taboos against eating dogs are heavily cultural (while taboos against eating humans are far more (although not entirely) universal.)
The 1st part was ridiculous, having bizarre work hours and overly ambitious work loads that require constant over working doesn't distinguish those who go the extra mile. It distinguishes those who have the extra time in their life.

A single twenty something is going to have far more flexible hours and than a 37 year old man with a wife and two kids one of which has a disability and needs extra care. I would imagine the 37 year old does a lot more in a day than the 20 something although not all of that is at work.

While he has less business value he still has a ton of value as a human being and should be treated as such. If we expect our businesses to treat humans just like machine or office appliance than I guess not making that distinction is ok. But if we want to live in a society were we value people and make room for everyone to be successful than this matters.

The second part of this is spot on. College doesn't give you everything you need and code schools don't teach you everything you need either.
Oh I get it. You think XHMTL is the new hotness and HTML5 is the "old depreciated version". I guess I would have suspected that if I was browsing with cutting-edge IE6 instead of this crappy old Chrome 29.
Mode Analytics Lands A $550K Seed Round
Mode Analytics, a company that is building an online repository for data science work, announced today that it has secured a $550,000 seed round of funding led by Yammer founder David Sacks. Mode seeks to provide a collaborative platform for data analytics, enabling data scientists to share data, queries, and results.
As it stands, developers have been able to get the Windows version of Silverlight running on Linux, Netflix and all. As far as I know they haven't even been able to get the ChromeOS version of HTML5 EME working on Chromebooks in developer mode let alone anywhere else, and Microsoft's EME implementation is integrated into IE11 which is going to be a lot harder to run elsewhere than Silverlight was.
> Maximal competitiveness means making elections closer, outcomes more uncertain.

Yes, it does.

That also means, in FPTP, maximizing dissatisfaction with the outcome.

> Every election race should be a knife fight.

I disagree. Every election should produce effective representation of the electors; FPTP elections -- metaphorical "knife fights" or otherwise -- do not do that, and engineering them for maximal competitiveness invokes one failure mode (maximal general election dissatisfaction) in order to minimize another (the failure mode wherein the general election is non-competitive, so the real choice is made in the process which selects candidates for the general election.)

> While I support proportional representation for assemblies (eg council, House), it conflicts with my support for direct democracy, which I haven't fully reconciled yet.

Direct democracy is proportional representation taken to one extreme. I don't see why supporting PR for what representative offices exists should conflict with a preference for direct democracy.
I'm all for steady jobs, it's just the goal is less about '9-5 work for one company.' Especially in tech, the idea of a 'workday' is so rightfully questioned or outright abolished at most workplaces. Getting things done matters more than being in a chair. And I don't think many of us expect to work for only one or two companies our entire lives.

I saw in a norwegian documentary about gender roles (the name is "Brainwashed") where he finds a scientist that want to test if toys are related to culture or not.

What he do is get newborn babies as soon as he can, and give them human-looking toys, and mechanical-looking toys (ie: human looking are dolls of all sorts, and animals, mechanical toys range from simple geometrical shapes, like boxes and cylinders, to vehicles, machines, etc...)

And the reaction from the babies to the toy is so precise, that you can predict what baby is male or female by toy preference alone. (ie: female babies always drift toward liking animal/human looking toys, while male babies go for the non-alive stuff)

I think the number of teachers is much more affected by demand than supply. You can't be a teacher unless people want to pay attention to you. I had an experience that blew those gates clear off their hinges, and into the nearest ocean. But I'm not teaching, and nobody's asking. My best friend was vaguely interested for one conversation over coffee, while we were sitting around waiting for something else. Everyone other than her was far less interested than that. How many people express that they're looking for more? How many act like they know just who they are and what they're doing? The world only has attention for a relative few dalai lamas or Eckhart Tolles.
My first concern is about precincts which straddle demographic voting boundaries. If you'll look at fine-grain voter maps, you'll see a bright line delineating urban vs rural voters, with the urban voting dominantly Leftist (they're not liberal by any means) and rural voting conservative; by drawing that boundary to include about 45% rural and 55% urban, you can "maximize competitiveness" in a way that assures the outcome will be almost always Leftist, while subjecting the dissenters to that outcome. Heck, make it 50/50, knowing that redistricting is rare and urban populations grow, and the distribution is allegedly fair and competitive...but with an assured political result.
I've been using KDE 4.11 for a while now, and it's by far the best release they've ever done.

Being delicious is a great adaptation though, although it dooms individuals to a premature death, it has secured the future of the species. As long as humans are around, pigs and cows will be as well.

Women can be pushed out before they even get to begin on the path.

The latter seems like a solid idea, if the networks could be persuaded to part with their IP.

I suspect I'm not the expert on this that you are, but the latter could be a problem, particularly from a "career preservation" point of view at the networks. If Exec Bob's show is picked up by Netflix and turned around from a flop to a hit, that tends to imply some things about Exec Bob's management of said show that he might not want to risk being implied.
The risk of shifting from the 9-to-5 mindset to "getting things done" is that people will end up (and some already are) working 70/80 hours a week and die young of heart attack.

One has to wonder where Google will be going with their Moto X line, especially since the focus is on utilitarian features (long battery life, assembled in the US) and price rather than brand identity.

We're already seeing significant decline of Android 2.X devices, but will there be a faster transition from 4.X to 5.X in a similar fashion of iOS 6 to iOS 7?

>[TS and CS] both basically solve the same problems

TS (or Dart) makes JS more toolable and thus more scalable. CS, on the other hand, just offers a keystroke reduction by dropping the "function" keyword, semicolons, and other punctuation.

TS and Dart also reduce the number of keystrokes though. They allow you to auto-complete pretty much everything.

> Especially in tech, the idea of a 'workday' is so rightfully questioned or outright abolished at most workplaces. Getting things done matters more than being in a chair.

It's clearly the right approach (particularly in tech) but corporate culture is what dictates if this is accepted where you're actually working. If you work at $OLD_SLOW_COMPANY then it's less likely to be understood then at $SMART_YOUNG_CORP.

> And I don't think many of us expect to work for only one or two companies our entire lives.

Spot on. The usual advice I give is to plan on staying at a gig (as an employee, not a founder) for 2 years. Year one is for learning, year two is for shining. By the start of year three you should be either off to apply what you learned elsewhere or doing something new internally. The two year number is somewhat tied to the bonus/promotion cycle of the financial services industry but I think the general idea applies to all fields.

I don't understand why people think torrent websites are not profitable. Reddit and TF comments always claim it's not-for-profit. IsoHunt might not have as much profit as TPB due to it's constant lawsuits. However, hosting a website like IsoHunt is fairly lightweight in comparison to hosting YouTube. Torrents are tiny files, $30k server bills per month at most, probably they spend $10k/mo. They have ads and paid membership. I doubt they earn $110 million, but I do believe it's likely that they atleast earn $4 mill per year. Keep in mind there website has a lot of traffic.
Almost no one uses the DRM that's already available in Flash[1] and Silverlight today so it's not obvious that EME would lead to increased use of DRM. In practice, using EME is going to be expensive because you'll need N key servers (one for PlayReady, one for Widevide, one for OMA, one for FairPlay, etc.) and each one costs over $10,000 AFAIK and requires a bunch of integration code.
