> But it's a long way off from becoming a sensible alternative

Electric vehicles aren't going to flood the market overnight, just as renewable energy isn't going to suddenly become our primary source of energy. These things take time and money. The more traction we give them, the more attainable they will become.

Environmental responsibility isn't possible when you ignore hard facts about the future. By the time I reach old age there will be 2 billion more people on this planet. They are capable of much more damage than we are.

I used to see that all the time in my local 7-11. Soft-drinks, confectionary, anything that needs 'merchandising'. Employees run the registers, keep the store clean, and one or two of them have training to take inventory using a tablet computer (this was before the advent of iPads; I don't live near a 7-11 any more so for all I know they've moved on since then).
I'm a big fan of Prolog and Scheme, but seriously the lack of an established solid spec has seriously hurted them.

There's no way Wolfram can succeed with its much more complex feature set without a spec and a reference implementation that's not closed source. Flash pulled that because they caught that opportunity window in the browsed, but neither CDF as a format nor Wolfram (Mathematica language) stand a chance as a generic language. Even Matlab stays niche.
This was exactly the chart I wanted to see after I saw the first one.

"High Performance" anything tends to mean doesn't last too long and more expensive when it breaks. I'm sure the 19" standard tires are a little better on both counts.
It's part of neither. The bug is in Secure Transport, the system SSL/TLS implementation in OS X and iOS, that Safari, Mail, and many third party apps (almost all apps that use SSL/TLS on iOS and OS X) rely on for TLS communications.

Why don't you use PDF files, or another e-book format, instead? It's likely the target app will accept formats like PDF more readily than Kindle.

You mean a special reader that changes the basic page format? That's doubtful, and implausible -- I don't think Amazon would want to forbid a potentially market-increasing technological advance.

It's more likely that the reader designers are interested in keeping their media free and open-source, and therefore don't support the Kindle file format.

I think you're making a great number of assumptions.

There's no reason we can't keep backward compatibility as long as it's desired.

No one is "throwing away the web", what ever that even means.

We can always put the current stuff in a nice museum and pay tribute to the technological importance it achieved during the evolution of the web! vs an evolution of any seriously flawed specific piece of technology.

Also, this really is not a "want", rather the real problems are creating real needs.
HTML etc get flack because they're badly designed. What do you want? Semantic markup, document layout or distributed programming? Sorry but the web people got _everything_ wrong. We don't have a platform that does any one thing well. The whole thing is a laughable dog's breakfast with no layering, no foundations or unity of design. The better course is evolution.. for Mozilla, who have been very good at maintaining their market position while endlessly bungling platform design.

Indeed, it does. Which is why a puddle-denier is a sad sight. 'There can't be puddles because no one has offered a fully-comprehensive theory which predicts puddles and which I find acceptable! Why must people be so puddleist?'

Denying your fallacious original overreadings and adopting your opponent's criticisms and claiming to have held them all along, while flattering, is still very annoying.
All things are relative. I am not some gazillionaire for which money is no concern but I am financially successful enough that I look at money a bit differently that most. When I consider buying cars I expect a certain level of quality and craftsmanship that you typically only find in higher end automobiles. Given that as my baseline - the Model S makes a pretty compelling fiscal argument.

On top of that value and cost are not the same. The value represented by the Tesla can far outpace the cost factors between its sticker and those of a Prius or Fusion.

tldr; I am not in the market for a cheap car, I want a great car.

The bug does not show up immediately with light load in Chrome (only a few tabs open). But anything heavier, and audio dropouts start. No idea whether it's a Chrome bug or OSX, but the problem started immediately after 10.9 update.

The issue is present after a fresh reboot with no other applications running than Chrome.

My Chrome version is now 33.0.1750.117, which should be the current one.

iTunes and Safari audio output is always fine.

I run VMWare Fusion 6 virtual machines often, but that doesn't seem affect the bug way or another. Also, I only installed VF6 long after updating to 10.9.

Audio in Windows or Linux Chrome running in a VF6 virtual machine is perfectly good.

Just tested again, the issue seems to only affect Chrome playing Macromedia Flash content. I don't have Flash player installed, only Chrome's internal PPAPI Flash player.
Is stock overvalued at $250 or is it going to be worth $500 within 3 years? It really can't be both.
Rather than forgotten, I would guess the owner died. Their arrangement in the cans suggest they were being saved over a period of time, which makes me think it was someone's personal savings and he simply died with no one knowing about the stash.
> When one seen someone assume a correlation has a meaning not proven in the evidence, it's not condescension, it's charity.

Where did I assume a meaning? My point was simple: you were trying to pretend the data doesn't exist by directly contradicting the very definition of what a correlation is. I am not committing myself to any further framework or theory or causal model of how the correlation comes into existence.

> Yes, as does the causal relationship between puddles and rain in advance of an attempt to offer an explanation: puddles predict rainfall.

But what you don't get with an index (at least, I don't think you do? I admit my ignorance on this) is the sort of transparency and ability to dig deep into the algorithm(s) that it appears you'd get with something like Quantopian. And possibly the ability to tweak that algorithm. Basically, a market for starter Quantopian algorithms that are more advanced than the samples on the site - I think that's vastly different than an index, and I could see paying for something like that.
>Tesla will reach $500 per share within 3 years, if not sooner.

And what valuation model are you using to arrive at this price? It seems odd that you consider it overpriced now, when the growth in the future that you're attributing to the Gen 3 is already priced in.

TSLA is great, and changed the auto game. But people are seriously underestimating the competition that is coming in the EV space, thanks to Tesla's success.

I'd say that people often reference intermediate Haskellers to a number of major papers like Data Types A La Carte or the Typeclassopedia.

You also would probably want to take a look at many of the things that Jeffrey Gibbons or Oleg Kiselyov have written.

I could think of others if I dedicated some time to it, but those come up fairly frequently.

Yeah, bad example. I was referring more to removing "was" and "ing" if you are overusing it too much, particularly when writing scenes that include action.

It really does work though. Through peer review, I found that making some changes along these lines vastly improved some of my stories.
In order to put a border around something you'd need to nest a table inside another table with a background color.
Did it come as a surprise to you? Low profile tires are notorious for fast wear. When I test drove a Model S, the rep explained the differences between the 21" and the standard 19" tires, including the shorter lifespan.

I had the same question. I suppose they might be referring to newer technology to limit emissions and maybe bio-diesel? Other than that I don't see why removing the crew would be less polluting.

Edit: According to the quote [1], it seems like the engines wouldn't necessarily be more efficient but rather more cargo per ship increasing the shipment to fuel ratio. Somewhat similar to CSX's fuel saving slogan "Trains can move a ton of freight nearly 450 miles on a single gallon of fuel." [2].

[1] - "By replacing the bridge -- along with the other systems that support the crew, such as electricity, air conditioning, water and sewage -- with more cargo, ships can cut costs and boost revenue, Levander said. The ships would be 5 percent lighter before loading cargo and would burn 12 percent to 15 percent less fuel, he said."

You could easily switch to a high (but not quite extreme) performance tire like Continental ExtremeContact DW in the stock 245/35R21 size, which would run you only a little over $1000/set for a much better cost per mile without compromising performance to a high degree.

Or you could switch (maybe another Tesla owner would trade) down to a rim size with a more reasonable sidewall profile. I frankly don't understand the trend towards lower and lower profiles for street cars. The improved cornering characteristics are offset by the substantially harsher ride and propensity towards rim damage, and on the performance Tesla I believe even 19" wheels will easily clear the brakes.

>You can be surprisingly stupid if you’re sufficiently determined

I think one reason we're wrestling with this smart/stupid/success/fail subject is that these words paint with broad brushes. It's not just being smart or stupid, it's what you're smart or stupid about.

For example, I knew an uneducated couple who opened a small clothing store. At first, they naively sold merchandise for less than they paid for it. They calculated the markup on belts by adding $4, then adding $3. When I suggested just adding $7, they got angry and said no, you HAD to add $4 first, or it wouldn't work. I would have been fired for pressing the issue.

Pretty stupid, eh? Maybe. But they were smart, too, about other things. What other things? Some people get MBAs at Harvard and still can't figure it out.

I watched that couple expand into a small chain of clothing stores with an 8-figure annual cash flow, and retire as millionaires.

One can only wonder how long they would have lasted in a YC pitch session. My grandmother used to say, "we're all stupid, we're just stupid about different things." The same could be said of "smart," and I believe success reflects a correctness in this rather delicate dichotomy.

Those people deserve mockery. The MtGox people lost and/or stole the money. And the BitCoin fanboys created the shangri-la atmosphere that tempted a lot of fools in.

In most cases it's not just the users they're trying to get, but also the talent (with the idea that most of them aren't one hit wonders).

Acting like startup acquisition is a single-metric game seems like a gross oversimplification. This chart only proves it by showing there is little correlation between user count and buy price.
