The Tesla has a 60 or 85kWh battery. The h is important; it's capacity, not power output. The power output is actually much higher, up to 310kW. But of course that means that if you run it at full bore, you'll only get about 16 minutes out of it. In any case, that kind of power output is vast overkill. A typical house only needs a few hundred watts, and that's easily provided with an inverter on a normal car. So again, I don't really see the advantage here, since both can do the job fine. One major difference is that when your electric car runs out of electricity you are screwed until the power comes back on, while a gas car can potentially be refilled. Even if the gas stations are down, you can stockpile gasoline, while you can't really stockpile electricity.

But, don't you guys think these statements are a bit unfair for Leo? I mean, yeah. the guy worked hard on it but out right saying: "Doesn't matter if you'll never use the app. That's not the point."

Don't you think it's degressing into a charity drive with these kinds of statements?

The man worked hard. I'll give him that, but I would never buy

I support the guy, it's a pretty cool, encouraging story. However, it's really taking away from what the guy earned VS what his title in society and a good deed is doing for him.

This means it might well be faster from an end-to-end perspective to send JavaScript+HTML than JSON with client-side templates, depending on the complexity of those templates and the computational power of the client. This is double so because the server-generated templates can often be cached and shared amongst many users (see Russian Doll caching).

This is the very essence of the Marxist-Leninist doctrine. At first I was repulsed to get involved, but exactly ignoring things is is how they escalate. What kind of oppression do you imply an educated person invariably is guilty of? How about the other way around - what an uneducated "oppressed" person is entitled to have and hasn't? What could you do if you'd be in the leading circle for the lower class given the economic circumstances of our current time? These are just some elementary questions that I think deserve answers before pointing fingers and doing the hanging.

If you read the other comments on this thread, a number of people have clearly explained the significance of the theory.

As for the humanities thing, yes, I agree. Just as physicists can make many clear statements that resonate with people who don't even know math, there are many aspects of the humanities that are accessible and clear to people who have never studied theory. Your disdain for higher level theory would also make it difficult for you to enjoy certain texts by people like Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel, none of whom are "postmodernists".

I've been standing at work for a few years, full time since I got an Ergotron Workfit a couple of years ago. It probably would be healthier to go for a balance of sitting and standing, but I think I do tend to be a little too rigid when sitting up. Additionally, I'm not much more than five feet tall and it seems like chairs and desks just aren't designed for people of that sort of stature. Even ones that are otherwise relatively ergonomic.

I wish it were easier to find a healthy balance without having to treat oneself as a longitudinal case study.

I really believe that the solution to the crack problem would be to provide, for free, crack to crack addicts on controled environment, with controled doses, with a medical staff ready to act in case an emergency, and with the added option to get treatment.

I know it will sound a little bit... hmmm... not-what-a-good-guy-would-say but, with this kind of policy in 10 years most of addicts would be dead, dying or getting treatment.

It's a darwin-aware policy that would remove the main problems with crack: Drug traffic and crazy killer zombies on the streets.

The one thing I'd like to see changed is that the button to create a new card is dangerously close to the button that deletes a column.

Adding a card is a frequent action so deserves such a prominent spot, deleting a column is not.

Perhaps you should add an 'edit column' mode where moving, creating & deleting columns is exposed: e.g. on double clicking the space around columns?
A comment from reddit might explain the farce:

"For those curious, I have a friend who worked at Time magazine for many decades and I asked him once how they choose the Person of the Year. He said that while on paper they claim to ask everyone who works there and such, in actuality a board of editors/managers/etc go into a conference room and try to figure out the sweet spot of "person it seems plausible we chose, but is still slightly controversial so we can sell a lot of issues." (Presidential election years are almost boring, as whoever wins is virtually guaranteed to get it.) I'm guessing, based on that, it came down to Snowden vs Pope Francis and the board decided there are a lot of Catholics who were going to buy the magazine if he was on the cover... and older people who are more likely to buy magazines."

He writes very good partitioning and consistency tests. Those are invaluable. As we have seen most "reliable", "distributed" and "fault tolerant" databases fall to their knees in those tests. I think he is honest and he doesn't fake his result, I believe those are hard corner cases but they are not impossible.

Overall it is very good for the industry, better for Aphyr to lose one of his integer key value pairs, make a blog post about it, than for your health insurance to lose your health records.
You're right. Compared to some other job ads I've seen, those at least focus on important industries.

I suppose I'm most skeptical about the claim that they are changing the world somehow. I can't believe that every startup is transforming an industry, or even trying to do so. Imagine some idealistic young hacker gung ho about disrupting farming, completely changing the way people grow food forever. And then on their first day, they realize they're job amounts to maintaining a mediocre iPhone app.

Now I don't doubt an iPhone app could make farmers' lives better. But how much are you gonna change farming? Maybe software can make farming a tad more data-driven or a tad more organized. But the way we grow food won't change because some YC startup wrote an app for it.

Yet clearly, startups want job candidates to believe they will change the world, or else they wouldn't put it in their ads. So what motivation could they have?

1. Like someone else mentioned, perhaps "changing the world" is code for "making lots of money." Could be.

2. My hypothesis: Startups use their "change the world" mission to justify low pay, long hours working conditions. People won't work under those conditions unless they believe they're working for a higher purpose.

3. Maybe delusional founders say "change the world" because they actually think their mobile/web-app/cloud crap will disrupt an industry. Sometimes that happens, but nobody should be foolish enough to think they know what it takes.

While I agree that Snowden would have been a great choice, I don't think the Pope is a bad one. He's ushered in a new era in one of the biggest religions in the world. It just doesn't impact on the Hacker News crowd so much.

I assume the worry is they'll do what J. Edgar Hoover did and amass secret dossiers they can use for blackmail (or to tip off the press to get rid of) their political opponents.

Even if the president himself is a saint with nothing to hide or blackmail him over, he has many friends and allies.

With that said, any control would have to be limited enough that those controlled went along with it instead of fighting it - a relationship of complete puppetry would be difficult, as they might decide to go down and take you with them.
Great article, definitely bookmarking this. I think it's important to give a reminder somewhere that modifying the magic methods really should be done with care. People new to Python could use this in a brute force way, when logic could do the trick.
Working for example with a framework like web2py, that re-implements a bunch of these, makes development slow and laborious sometimes.

> That JS request to GA also has your referrer in it, in the clear. (...) If the link ends with Google Analytics, but doesn't start with it, then when you reach that end page, the referrer sent to GA in the clear will state where you came from.

I'm curious. In that case, the GA JS is requested from what you call the "end page", so the referrer it has should be the "end page", not the one before it.

It really wasn't obvious in the early 2000's that the browser was the "proper" (I'll use the same word that you use, though I disagree with it) to display information, run software etc. I liked Delphi but while the adaptation to modern versions of Windows and future development was always going to be an issue, the main problem was company maangment, sales and mishandling of what was a good product in its time (up to Delphi 7).

For lots of us using basic CDN services, we enable referrer checks to ensure that folks aren't hotlinking images or direct linking downloads from other sites. These CDNs allow basic blocking based on referrers. You usually set it to only permit when there is a referrer from your own domain as well as blank referrers (if the CDN supports it) since most privacy conscious folks will disable referrer rather than fake it. We don't actually care that you don't provide a referrer, we just don't want other sites using our images in their own pages (leeching our bandwidth we pay for) or direct linking to binary downloads (bypassing our site with our advertising or revenue possibilities or branding but using our bandwidth).

> I really really don't want to grammar-nitpick

> I haven't made a single grammar claim.

I interpreted you using the word 'grammar' to mean that you were making a grammatical claim. And I was thinking of grammar as binary thing, either right or wrong. I thought of grammar as a set of rules that would determine whether a statement was well-formed.

You include in the idea of grammar not only correctness but also judgements like: "less bugs" sounds bad to me and probably isn't appropriate for professional communications. In my mind at the time that sort of statement wouldn't have been a matter of grammar. Maybe spending all day with formal languages and programming gave me that idea.

I don't know how to communicate with you. It's hard to do sometimes with just the written word. Sorry for wasting your time.
My reading of the US constitution is that the purpose of copyrights is "to promote the progress of science and useful arts".

TIL Sega once made a game about the console wars
Realistically it’s hard to peg a salary to “market rate,” particularly when one has gotten merit-based raises on top of that. I think all employees should get a cost-of-living adjustment, tagged to inflation. So if inflation is 3% in a year, everyone gets 3% right off the bat.

I’m torn in that I think the flip-side makes perfect sense. If there is 1% deflation, why shouldn’t employees’ wages be cut by 1% across the board? At the same time I feel that’s the quickest way to see half your development team leave, even though we’re talking about less than the cost of a nice dinner each month.

In an environment where the market crashes and it dramatically affects revenue for a business, everything has to be on the table, from layoffs to hiring and raise freezes to voluntary cuts in pay (often to save the job). If you make $100k a year at “market rate” and there’s a huge crash, and you’re given the opportunity to cut your own pay to $80k or try to get a job for $60-90k, what do you do? It’s a tough call for anyone.
presumably only catholics would claim that he does (the linked article certainly doesn't).

there is no known "right answer" for questions of morality - you get to pick your own framework. if you feel that morality is based on personal decisions then clearly the pope doesn't choose for you. but from what i see of catholics here in chile it seems that they have a different vision of things, where he does have authority (presumably informed in some way by their god).

if you really want to know more, a catholic priest is probably a good person to ask...

[sorry if this seems like a weird answer; i find your question odd. it's like you are trying to make a point, but it's hard to see what it is, so i end up just answering with the obvious. presumably you're aware that religions exist, that he's head of the catholic church, etc.]
