Part of me thinks that they are deliberately passive aggressive, like, "I can't believe people don't believe yet that our vehicles are safe, fine, let's just go all out and shove it in their face."

"When you're doing something as new as we are with Tesla you're going to draw an outsized amount of scrutiny. Even though these fires were both in extreme circumstances, and that fires are sadly a regular occurrence for all vehicle makers, as a brand new concept it's not good enough for us to say 'We're as safe as any other comparable high end vehicle' We have to go a step further. And so today I'm announcing......" I mean I'm just throwing something together quickly but I'm trying to put some substance here vs sounding randomly snarky.
For those that don't follow the link, this death was a cyclist hit by a Tesla driver. Not a car occupant so I feel the claim is valid as someone hitting a cyclist is largely out of their control until/if they move to driverless models.
Titanium is more expensive than it is valuable. Most of the high cost of titanium products comes from the relatively very expensive purification process and difficulty machining.
Is the school using ink, or toner? Toner is significantly cheaper, and there are still savings by switching fonts.

I never saw another profession more despising that much CHSCT or usual working wisdoms or health protection.

In my former (game company) the alcohol was even bought by the company every friday and it was poorly accepted people refuses to share a toast. And I saw the casual boozing a lot in a lot of places.

The average drinking in computer development and drug use {when I include the graphists designer} are way above the average of my supposed to be unsafe with all these junkies suburb. I don't come from a favela, just one of the «banlieue» that gives nice rioting picture on CNN/fox news every 10 years.

The work culture in IT is the most dangerous and irresponsible I never saw. No respect for anyone, neither workers, nor providers, nor sometimes customers.

It makes me sometimes feel as if I was working with psychopaths, and I did my conscription, so I met psychopaths. But soldiers made me feel more secure.
Why Companies Hire Anthropologists
The post doesn't mention the titanium alloy or thickness of the shield, both of which make a significant difference. Pure titanium (Grade 2) isn't especially strong compared to aluminum or steel, but it is less expensive. Heat treated 6Al-4V alloy, AKA Grade 5 on the other hand, is the stuff used in military aircraft and the like.
AFAIK, you can turn off JIT compilation in v8, isn't that true?

Interesting read. it proves one of my arguments against fb: there is not too much real value to end users.

there is no such thing in the world like "performing too well". if a better design led to less user engagements, it means the product, in its bare bone, not valuable to users.

It's not just the breakout. Microcontrollers like the AVR existed 20 years ago. You could get them and put them on a breadboard with a few components, and they would work, but you still had a lot more work to do before you could do anything with them. You'd have to build or buy a programmer, that was a task in and of itself (for a neophyte). IMO the thing that really sets Arduino apart from engineer/technically-proficient-hacker domain is the bootloader.

I like & use the LPC Expresso stuff too, but you can do a lot with an Arduino.
1) There are another 4 recongized Ubuntu spins for KDE, Gnome, LXDE, and XFCE, plus all the derivatives with other desktops like Cinnamon, Elementary, Enlightenment, and Zorin. You are not limited to Ubuntu Unity, and unlike any other OS you do have options.

2) I haven't had that much experience with Windows 8, but for many systems the UEFI implementation by the vendor is so bad that it will only boot singular binaries in the Windows EFI locations. That means you can never have multiple OSes on that EFI, and there ain't jack any Linux distro can do to change that. Additionally, Windows will wipe all other EFI applications when you install it and it regenerates an EFI partition, as it always has in every version ever, it will never play nice with any other OS.

3) This relates to 2, but if hardware vendors won't produce Linux drivers nobody can force them.

But the important lesson is to not buy a Windows computer and bitch when it isn't a good Linux computer. They are not equivalent, the same hardware is not supported on both OSes (try putting Windows on a RaspPi) and unless you want to have to deal with faulty firmwares and have to stringently analyze every part you buy to make sure its supported hardware (principally because hardware distributors are garbage at mentioning Linux compatibility anywhere) then you should just buy a Linux computer from thinkpenguin, system76, or any of the other actual Linux hardware vendors that will provide you a system that given whatever version of Ubuntu's kernel it is running, and beyond, you know the hardware will work out of the box on any distro. That is how to use Linux.
It could be a conceptual superweapon at the same time as being useful and important!
Anybody else find it hilarious that when you navigate to https://html5sec.org/ they have a series of 3 XSS alert() attack vectors at work?
I love this. We need more of these powerful tools for cheaper prices.

UDK was a great platform, but the scripting language was hell. It was like being given a helicopter and flying it with your feet. This was really the reason why we moved to Unity, because it was so much easier to code inside their sandbox.

Game tech companies need to realize that developers love fully featured software, and we are willing to pay for it, we just don't want to pay out the ass for it per dev. It looks like Epic sees this and is jumping on it, CryTek following suite, I wonder how Unity will step up to the plate?

The Microsoft Office Apps don't integrate well with other iOS apps. There's no open-in in other apps and no support for AirPrint or other printing options.
This has the same issues of defining the 'self' that we already do -- namely that none of the cells in your body are the same as the cells that made you up ten years ago. Maybe we're all imperceptibly becoming someone else all the time...
I kinda feel Nokia self destructed more than it was destroyed by Apple. It was a sad journey to watch right up the the sale. But reminds me I should see what's the latest with Sailfish and Ubuntu Touch.
Most of the uses that you mention involve processing large (ish) amounts of data, and that's one of the drawbacks to GPUs. They're great as long as everything fits into the amount of RAM on the card. Otherwise you're limited by the PCI bus and you're constantly shuttling data back and forth from main memory. It's frustrating when you only have 6GB of RAM on the GPU and 96 or more attached to the CPU. They're just not that good at data processing.
Think tanks not people. Aluminum is far cheaper than what you would put in armor vests but still light and strong. Ceramics are arguably better overall, but combining the two is a net win. Anyway, ballistic grade aluminum actually does refer to something and is probably better for cars which don't have to deal with anti tank rounds.

I'm very curious how many people are avoiding commenting simply because they're terrified of being dragged into an internet pissing match.
My kids school sends home a ridiculous amount of paper. Here's a way to save a ton more money: stop. It's 2014, we don't need paper to send information home in most cases. Email or put it on a website.
That's not an impediment if you can actually generate results. Candidly, it has not been my experience that many non-programmer growth hackers actually produce meaningful results.

Advertising is not the worst. In-App purchasing is. It turns the whole thing into endless ad stream. Every purchase confirms the success of previous efforts as ad, then what to do next? hit the f*cking user harder!
It's probably a reference to the increasingly common use of aluminum plate armor in military vehicles. Aluminum has some distinct weight advantages that make it ideal for light armor.
I realize that the suspension isn't unique to Tesla, but over-the-air software updates seem to be. It irks me to no end that I'm told that my Infiniti can't be updated to even work properly with my iPhone, much less the fact that they want to charge for gps map updates that are essentially free from Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.
Agreeing to a 5% royalty is pretty crazy in my opinion. If you're even planning on being able to support just a modest salary for yourself with your game sales, Unity or CryEngine are better deals. The UE license is only worth it if you plan on making less than $15,000 a year.
> So basically you would distribute the same way as in PC. You buy the install files in physical/digital form and install it.

That's how you used to buy apps for phones. And you know what? Not many people bothered; it was a pain in the ass.

And heck, you can still do that on PCs, but most people go through Steam—because it's a much better buying experience.
Titanium alloy sheets are not that expensive. Something like what is shown in the video is probably less than $500. Seems like a pretty good value if it protects the batteries from damage on a $60,000 car.
Reviewing the comments made regarding this and other "Stackoverflow is down" kinda threads I start to wonder... are there so many so-called developers that just copy-paste 9-5?
If you work 3 years in IT, and switch jobs, you get a raise. I don't think a PhD works the same way.
This is written in a semi-sarcastic/ passive aggressive tone to get across the point of how safe their vehicles already are. Very cheeky of Elon and his team.

"This happened after the vehicle impacted a roundabout at 110 mph"

My pity meter regarding the resulting vehicle fire doesn't seem to be moving.

Bad practice 101: drinking alcohol on your work place.

I kind of see it as an occupational disease. And for every new jobs I try to voice myself against these practices. And it fails because I am over «reacting».

Now, I don't care.
Unfortunately there are still people with children of schooling age that can't use computers that well or don't have email. I know several. I also know some people without internet access at home. I don't think we're too far off being able to replace paper with email in this case though (5-10 years max).
During my tenure with Ubuntu, Intel itself managed to break my OS twice pretty hard - via regular updates, nothing fancy involved.

Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. I love using it for my professional work. However stability is not the reason.
Yeah, I hear you but 1/4 inch is not bulletproof. Its like saying "ballistics grade sand". Which in sufficient thicknesses, is bulletproof =D.

"MIL-DTL-46027 is supplied as a 5083-H131 product. Ballistic reports are supplied for thicknesses over 0.499" per specification. Our stock range is 0.250" thru 3". Typical stock size is 72" wide x 144" long."

Unfortunately, many companies and governments still rely on paper. Technology doesn't flow through bureaucracy as well as you would think.

EDIT: Downvoters, rebutal? I worked at in 2 government offices, both heavily relied on paper.
This is always the rallying cry yet somehow in large institutions there is always more and more paper.
> Threes makes you swipe-swipe-swipe after every game to get your score and "sign" it (why do I care about signing it?) before you can play again; 1024 just moves you straight on to the next game. Mobile games need to be simple and streamlined, and 1024 understands that imperative better than Threes does.

This is such facile commentary on the metagame. Any armchair designer can come along and recite a checklist of attributes that any "well-designed" game must satisfy.

But the fact is that gameplay is much more important than metagame and the gameplay of Threes is much better considered. It's a deep game yes, and maybe that's not for everybody, but it doesn't fail as a mobile game. I play it on the tube all the time, and it works fine just to put it away and come back to it.
It's a response to someone with an equal level of credibility on the subject. And yes, with something to gain.

He's right: Chanel No. 5 perfume costs $38 per ounce, while the equivalent amount of Hewlett-Packard printer ink can cost up to $75.

Most offices that I've seen use laser printers. Toner isn't cheap but it's cheaper by several orders of magnitude over the ink in an inkjet printer they're using for the comparison here.

the GPO's efforts to become more environmentally sustainable were focused on shifting content to the Web.

This is the right answer. It's a permanent solution to a long-term problem.

Teen to government: Change your typeface, save millions

What he's really saying is: "Spend millions changing your typeface, maybe save millions." There are laws that dictate how forms and paper must appear. Changing the font could have many unintended consequences that will need to be studied and tested for, probably by high-priced consultants. And of course you'll have to test if the new forms are as readable by low-vision citizens and people with other disabilities.

But have to hand it to a 14 year old at least thinking about this stuff.
Not true. Ejecta has been supporting WebGL for a while now. It was announced in this blog post: http://impactjs.com/blog/2013/05/ejecta-1-3

Good advice, but I doubt that developers would be especially prone to alcoholism.
In a sense, Teslas are the least safe cars on the road, because I'd kill every single one of you in order to own one.

Clever kid, but not a real solution to a real problem. Printers using ink cost orders of magnitude more per page than printers using toner. Reworking all the governments forms would cost billions.
Its interesting to see comments that require the founder to gain some level of permission from the friend before hiring their employee. Then in a simultaneous thread Steve Jobs, Google and Intel are all complete scumbags for talking to each other about hiring.

Ask HN: Staying motivated? 
So, I'm young, I've had a full time job for about a year now and whenever I finish the day and get home, I feel so burnt out. I don't feel like working on any of my side projects or learning new things. Before I was employed I was happily 'working' 15 hour days and now I get literally nothing done. Has this happened to anyone else and is there any way to combat it?
Actually I think a better cancel options built into printers / printer drivers would save far more. Loads of times that I have wanted to print one page, and ended up with a whole multi-page document.

And is it really necessary these days that Acrobat comes up with a different print dialog from Firefox, which is different from another one?
It's not arbitrary at all. At a small scale, the activity has little impact on the market for labor. At the large scale, it has a very substantial impact.
Didn't they just kill their e-book store recently?

Also, from the images it does look like it would be "e-ink" but I see no mention of it on the page. Is it really "e-ink" (like Kindle) or just "e-paper", which is just a transflective LCD (Pebble, Notion Ink Adam, etc).
Many families in many areas don't have computers or reliable access to the Internet.

I have a few friends that teach in Virginia, about 5 miles from DC, who've gone so far as to spend their pocket cash on Craigslist-found laptops so they have a few they can either have in the classroom or give to some of these families.

So, yes, your school does need paper to send information home.
Also metal under shields are quite common as vehicle upgrades and not as novel as you might think.
While it may look better on paper, in the sample in article I'd much rather be reading a form printed with Times New Roman than Garamond. Seems a bit easier to read
Our PI is renewed for being one of the worst in the planet, but he's also a really famous one. (average is 1 science + 1 nature / year)

Is hard to find someone this bad, but the worst part was not the micromanagement. That is pretty common. It was the constant lack of appreciation, being blackmailed over the visas, his holding papers hostage for years until your loyalty was proven. A colleague has been there for 4 years of post-doc, and has 0 papers published, 6 ready to go on his desk. And the first one is from 3 years ago.

I can go on all day over this.

I resigned yesterday at the second post-doc.
But that's the problem. Upvoting and approving/moderating are different things. Upvoting is a subjective exercise, whereby you signal substantive agreement. Approving/moderating is an objective exercise, whereby you signal that a comment meets minimal community standards of tone and non-triviality. Conflating those will inhibit dissenting opinion.

That said, the direction you're implying might be an improvement. Rather than a separate Pending Comments list, mod-level users would be able to see pending comments in the context of the parent item/tree, but with some kind of adornment or different color. Pending comments will also have a 'tolerable'/'civil'/'endorse' link next to it, but no up/down vote buttons. Only after it's been deemed tolerable enough, will a pending comment become live/approved and have up/down buttons.
I'm pretty sure map data is expensive and those companies license it.
Sounded like a list of facts about the crash to me. What should Tesla have done in this situation? The media was spreading the falsehood that Tesla vehicles are more prone to fires than the average gasoline car. That is provably false. In this article they state that it is false and then give the very unusual sequence of events that led to the unusual outcome.

Media reports leave people thinking, "Electric vehicle? No thanks, too dangerous." Tesla's response leaves people thinking, "Well I have no plans to go 110 MPH through a round-about so I'll probably be OK." The latter is more accurate.
No, you can't turn off JIT compilation in V8. V8 has no not-JIT execution engine.
It's really difficult to emphasize how excessive this is. As a mechanical engineer, I knew just by reading the title that this is really excessive, because the titanium alloy used is definitely a marketing stunt.

Titanium has unbelievable tensile strength for its weight, but there's no good reason to make an "underbody shield" out of titanium except for publicity. It would make way more sense to use steel (and maybe you could make a case for something ultra light weight, like carbon fiber, but probably not).
But really, yours doesn't sound as good as his. His made me kinda want to buy a Tesla.
Is there a reason why you think that a typical price-demand curve wouldn't apply to printer ink?

"a braver film would have addressed this somehow. Samantha is a slave."

I don't think Samantha is a slave. Note that Theodore is not shown paying for Samantha. He could as well have partaken in a free beta program. She also asks for time for herself, does not sound slaveish to me.

There were many places where the story could have gone, but Jonze decided not to go there: privacy, hacking and trust, malfunctions, AI doing stuff for you that you did not explicitly asked for and Theodore suing the company for that.

Jonze simply decided to accept Samantha as a real person in a love story, and go from there.

I don't agree with you that "Her" is not a brave film just because it did not raise issues that you had in mind.
I disliked it a lot. It was an incredibly shallow movie which tried to hide behind high-tech concepts, and to boot engaged in some pretty bad misogyny.

I mean let's be clear here: the Family Guy joke of "hi, over the next 2 hours I'm going to show you how all your problems can be solved by my penis" is played straight in this movie.

This feels very much like greenwashing, selling you a product that makes you feel like you're doing something positive for the environment which actually has extraordinarily minimal impact. I'm sure there are a thousand things a person could do to lessen their impact before toner usage becomes a priority.

I would be very irritated if anybody handed me something with compromised readability (letters filled with holes) to save a fraction of a penny in toner.
