The one thing that you do need to consider with a complete one-click unsubscribe is whether your e-mail could be forwarded - if a user forwards an e-mail, it's possible that whoever recieved the message could unsubscribe on their behalf.

Probably the best thing to do, IMO, is a simple two click unsubscribe - take them to a page with their e-mail address already filled in, and just require them to click "OK" to confirm which address is being unsubscribed.
Your attempt at a rationalization is logically flawed to the point of embarrassment.
Are we now in magic land? Whats up with you and the other commentators in the immediate vicinity making up laws like "impeding traffic flow"?

If you dead stop and block a lane, you are breaking the law. And I see it plenty of times every day with delivery drivers, who also treat cycle paths as extended parking spaces.

Not riding the speed limit is simply not breaking a "traffic law", and I can not the imagine the state of delusion you have to be in to think it is.
ha, good point.

not sure if it adds to the overall credibility.

bottom line, the guy likes the car enough to write/cooperate, even after it hit a bump and burned up, how much of that is the car's greatness, rose-colored fanboi glasses, good old-fashioned working the media...unclear.

What's the error rate on that? I don't think we've seen enough Teslas involved in major accidents to even begin to determine how likely they are to catch fire compared to other cars.
I think the worst thing that would happen is that you'd be asked to leave. I don't think anything worse than that could happen (though don't quote me on that).

I've done something similar one time when a minimalist surfing trip took a wrong turn. I learned that if you (a) have a car where the seat goes down flush with the trunk or hatchback (b) have a good sleeping pad (think REI) and warm sheets, then you can get a great night sleep and look pretty inconspicuous from the outside (no one can see in very easily since you're below the window line).

Also, placement within the parking lot is important, not too close, not too far away.

Correct.

It's certainly never done I've heard of?

Some companies will count your travel time, but I've never heard of anyone being paid for the other time you're forced to be away form home.

[Edit]So, my point is there's work, and there's work. Reading a book I don't think is valid work.
Reading a book then using company time to use/develop those idea I don't have a issue with.

But readings fun but pointless without implementing the ideas. Hacking is about doing, not reading.

We all have facebook time at work, if you want to swap that out, also fine.

But to be 'On the clock' using the ~ 4 hours per day programmers do real work to read I don't think is appropriate.
That is not true. Here's a case of a car catching fire after being hit by cardboard boxes.

Are you seriously saying that the car exploded into a fireball? Because of course it didn't, and in fact the combustion was primarily the incendiary material of the cardboard box, just as it would ignite near high power electric motors. That has zero relevance to this story.

I find it very surprising that you think it's common for cars to run over things like that on the road and keep going.

You entirely misinterpreted my post. I stated, nor implied, absolutely no such thing.
Just press the SPAM button in your mealreader. Problem solved.
Local traffic reporters (in Atlanta at least) have been known to call cars catching on fire 'Car-B-Qs'. It's a distasteful name but indicates that cars catching on fire isn't that uncommon.
Harvard might not be as bad as some other schools, but then again we saw what they did to Larry Summers[1].

Given that Pyret is functional, there's a good chance there will be an emphasis on simple, pure functions.

Beyond that, I'd agree completely. Doctests, for instance, are quite terrible when you can't fit all of the logic into one line, but then I think it's usually a sign of a well-designed function when it's good a good enough interface to get a few pithy doctests in.
Python should not directly compete with go. A sure sign of an inexperienced dev is "why I moved from Lang x to Lang y". You should use and know multiple languages, and know where they fit in.
That said, for a lot of cases I think Go steps in where python comes up short, which is definitely performance and concurrency.
But if I'm doing something that's too complicated to fit easily in a shell script, but doesn't warrant a lot of time, the brevity of python wins every time.

> I use MSG in cooking and it's a great way to lower salt

It might lower salt a bit, but it's hardly a great way, the S stands for sodium, which is exactly what you want to avoid. Perhaps the trade off is worth it if you can use less, but you need to calculate it carefully.
> I picked HTML and (presentational) CSS (classes) for a reason, as they are boilerplate and they indicate whether or not Separation of Concerns bubbles up to management.

One positive thing that comes from your example is, if they know too much about that it means there is a whole lot of micro-management going on.
Here's two simple ways links could have happened:

- someone having the domain before you

- script kiddies machine-generating links to pages on random domains so Google finds exploitable targets for them

Google is not randomly looking for pages - that's brute-forcing a site map and it's utterly, impossibly inefficient even to supplement what they find crawling around.
No right is being violated. It is a breach of duty: "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press".

I currently live in Austin, and it's definitely great, but the traffic is killer if you're commuting. A couple of my coworkers live up north in the suburbs, and their commute is 30 min without traffic. With traffic, it's 1-1.5 hours. Live music everywhere though, and lots of interesting eats, like the Austin food trailers.

I like Atlanta mentioned elsewhere in the thread, having lived there for a number of years. Tons of cool stuff to do, and interesting concert venues like the Masquerade and Tabernacle. I lived in Midtown, but even if you don't want to live in the city the suburbs are nice.

People like to make fun of Houston for being a huge sprawl with no zoning regulations, but if you want Texas with more of an Atlanta feel, you'll get your pro sports teams, museums, and mega concert venues there. It's still close enough to go visit Austin for a weekend (only 3ish hours). Houston and Atlanta also have the advantage over Austin in terms of airports and where you can fly direct. Going from Austin means you burn more time with connections and layovers.

If you move to Texas from the south though, you're going to miss the tea. Tea here is cold and unsweetened by default. "Texas sweet tea" isn't as sweet as southern style sweet tea.

> - Can I see the code base?

I've often wanted to ask this but didn't have the nerve to do it. Even if it doesn't raise some eyebrows, are there companies that actually say yes?
I think the trick is going to be either:
1) finding hashtags with enough people desiring them so that you can order in bulk
OR
2) finding a production method that is cheap/efficient enough that you can print 1 or 2 shirts without breaking the bank

I wonder if you could do something like threadless did, where people vote for the "best hashtag" with their wallet, saying they would buy one if you produced the lot.

Not bad for a weekend project though! Props to you!
I find your reply simply incredible given that in this case the driver not only didn't pull over on a significant impact event, they stayed in the left lane, then causing a huge road hazard as their car burst into flames, forcing them to pull off the left shoulder of the highway (again, the most dangerous place to be). To bizarrely question my advice seems rather foolhardy given the situation that we know.

Condescending blather about what we're "here for" is not what we're here for given that we're discussing the details of this event.

Automate that shit son. Use Shirts.io and grab trending tags from Twitter, and display them, even tweet about them when a new trending tag hits, also allow users to enter their own hashtags... I'd buy one right now if I could input my own hashtag.

Good idea. Explosively eject a massive burning battery pack into the path of the unsuspecting traditional combustible car behind you and watch it burn in your rear-view mirror as you coast away on the backup emergency battery...

We don't have the massive (and perfectly legal!) campaign contributions from religious groups that the US does. While less direct than the lords spiritual, I think those are much more influential on the whole.

And while the Church of England and Lords Spiritual may be many things, extremist they certainly are not.
I completely agree with the OP; there's no reason to suggest there is anything racist about the label Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. It appears a few people have been hyper-sensitized to a bad definition of racism.
Not sure how the car would know it was safe to drop the battery pack; you wouldn't want to drop it in the middle of an Interstate. Even moving the car away (can that happen w/o a battery pack?) how would it know which way to move safely without getting into traffic, hitting guard rails, emergency vehicles, etc.?
I'd consider springing for a hashtagtee if the price was circa $10.
Why does Guido think that slices syntax is screwed up? I mean, it's not exactly natural, but at least it's consistent (first bound is included, second is excluded):

a = '12345'
a[0:-1] == '1234'
a[-1:0:-1] == '5432'

Personally, I think that "downcounting" slices are rarely used. For code clarity, I prefer reversing the string/list first.
Fun fact: the US didn't provide full equal rights for its gay citizens until sometime after 2013.
But remember we are talking about an expensive, new car with a lot of modern safety features. Which is the complete opposite of most of the cars you see around the world. My point was that comparing Tesla's record with existing cars will never make sense since we simply don't have all of the facts.

It seems obvious though that Tesla being a very different design will have different incident characteristics.
Ask HN: Does anyone have an old github account to spare?

This isn't a good argument seeing as how papers and pens can't die from asphyxiation.
In this case the driver stated that the cabin was undamaged. He was able to remove his papers from the glove box. Smoke inhalation may have been dangerous, but in this case the fire didn't seem to a safety issue to the driver if he had been able to leave the vehicle.

No way!

Honestly, I'd be interested in knowing which of us is using it in the "normal" fashion. I really don't know. Or perhaps we both are and it depends on the region.
I ask the engineers here, how can the fires be prevented/mitigated?

- A different armor plate (titanium? kevlar?)
- An automatic fire extinguishing system, perhaps piping grid inside the battery compartment that can feed a cooling agent to the damaged cell?

Is price the only constrain? Cost benefit?
Explicit is better than implicit.

I think you think for is magical and could be modified like this, but really for just iterates over something. It's enumerate and items that are the magic. Enumerate zips a range onto a list, the ``index,element`` unpacks the zip. Items returns a list of (key,value) tuples and the key,value unpacks that.

You couldn't modify the iterators because it would effect EVERYTHING. sum([1,1,1]) would now be sum([(1,1),(2,1),(3,1)]) AHH! And ``key in dict`` wouldn't work any more, since the iterator would return key,values. EEK.
A major accident for me is one in which cars drive oncoming to a semi trailer, hit a power pole at very high speed or multi car pileups. Something where no matter what type of car it is there is likely to be mass casualties and media coverage.

Driving over something at highway cruising speed doesn't seem all that major to me.
Just because it's not military grade doesn't mean its not "truly armor"; How would you explain armor worn by humans? Is that not armor just because it's not used in military vehicles?

This is another of those beautiful pieces I call contemporary historical texts that often make their way to HN. I'm referring mostly to this bit:

And to address the question of why I don't just read these programming books at home: on the off-hours, I read books about self-improvement, psychology, productivity, marketing, business, and other topics that certainly improve my overall effectiveness as an employee, but usually don't have much to do with programming.

So on the off hours he's reading books about self-improvement and productivity, and other topics that increase his effectiveness as an employee. We are now apparently at that stage where our employers and jobs have been sublimated. They don't even need to be there in order to make us more "effective". Being effective is what we want to do.

And I ask myself, whatever has become of wanting to stay in bed? Where is the desire to be completely ineffective and blissfuly idle? If I were Picasso, Bach or Einstein the world would be better off if I were effective, but since I'm not, I wish I could be ineffective, and lazy, and just spend as much time as possible doing absolutely nothing. But I can't, because work has first turned from being a very unpleasant necessity and the domain of the unfortunate into a mark of responsibility and usefulness, and recently into an essential part of the self.

The number of people making significant contributions to our culture is vanishingly small. But aside from those poor bastards on whose shoulders we sometimes need to stand (and even our heroes in this day and age are more over-achievers than geniuses), wouldn't the world be better off if we could all just slouch?
_genetics_? This is the second from top comment? I don't think I'd seen proto-eugenics this highly upvoted on HN before. I'm disappointed.

I want to agree with @thenerdfiles in that you should make somewhere a better place to work in. It only takes one thing: the potential there that will make you "able" to achieve this goal.

believe me, I worked at a very dynamic, fresh startup for 4 years but with no room given to me for introducing stuff. Moved to a very large organisation but with the potential given to me. I'm very happy now.
I usually try to hit unsubscribe first. If I'm not immediately unsubscribed, I just mark them as spam and move on.
What are you implying here anyways? That the buildings, malls, water theme parks, etc. are artificial? Well then, I'd say most cities are artificial. Unless you want to move into a jungle. Does that count as natural?
My wife quit Facebook. It was her primary method of interacting with people, primary connection, so it was hard to decide to disconnect.

Facebook made her feel like shit.

She's had a bad job or two before, and in the evening I needed to go on an hour long walk with her to help unwind from her job. Facebook upset her at that level.

Since she quit Facebook, she's been happier, feels better and has been more focused on herself.

I can only imagine teenagers have it worse.

Full disclosure it could be worse for her because we lost our baby this year and everyone else is having kids.
Why do you say that? The fire department is a service hired by us to extinguish our stuff. Didn't they learn how to put out gasoline engine car fires 100 years ago? They should have refused because they only knew how to put out horse fires?
That's possible. But if DNS changes can propagate throughout the entire world in 24 hours, seems like removing my email from a bunch of Internet databases could too.

I am told (by my Catholic friends who live[d] in Alabama) that Alabama is considered a missionary region for Catholics. The local Books-a-millions have any Catholic literature in -- I am not making this up -- "World Religion" (not enough space in the third of the store devoted to Christian books.

One possible solution is to find a reasonably isolated, independent small group within a company. For example, groups that make custom software tools that other people in the company use can be more interesting, perhaps, than the main stuff the company works on.
Africans, some native American tribes, the untouchables in India, etc. Few of them score highly on admissions tests, but their admission scores political points.

Ironically, admissions screening was started to keep out the European jews, who are smarter than average and we know some of the genetic variations that do it. One wonders what the universities were thinking, both wanting to keep them out and choosing such a dumb scheme.

My basic line of argument is fairly simple. If you work at a university and your salary is paid via taxes you have an obligation to make your work available to the taxpayers.

This means the software you write should be open sourced and the papers and articles you write should be freely available.

I'll use the basic idea of this article as more fodder for that argument (it's even more important now because...Big Data ZOMG) in the future :)

I don't fully agree with the thought that writing software and papers are exclusive. With a little creativity you can get a paper or two out of most academic software development projects (granted they won't usually be the A-level "this advances my discipline" kind of papers but one can't only write those anyways imo).
