[Ask HN] what would the mileage of the Tesla be?
I've seen many pictures like this in the recent past and thought.

http://teslarumors.com/News-2012-02-25-013.html

"What if they just added a steering wheel to that?"

How much would the mileage/efficiency increase? If the body/seats and all the misc... were removed and it was used as pure transportation scooter traveling at a reasonable speed, how far will it go? 2x, 4x, 10x?

Would love to hear from anyone that has a guess.

Thanks!
Didn't even catch that. Thanks a lot.
Yes, but they are clearly playing a bit fast-and-loose with things here. The whole point of end-to-end encryption is that it's a "trust no third parties" model (other than whoever provided your crypto software, which you can verify anyway). This is slightly better than Lavabit, but you're still trusting ProtonMail, who are providing the crypto implementation to your browser every time you use it. Depending on how it's implemented, they could potentially unilaterally revoke all your past secrecy by changing the Javascript code to capture your private keys.

Plus, they're offering self-destructing e-mails, which is impossible to provide, so already there's a bit of snake oil there. If they said, "It's not possible to provide real self-destructing e-mails, but you can set it up so that (assuming you trust us), we'll delete the messages from our servers after a certain amount of time, which is the best anyone can do." Instead they say that they are "more ephemeral than SnapChat."

This assumes that a single greater-than-human AI doesn't figure out how to get humans onto its side. Given that it will not be a cartoon supervillain, that task will actually be incredibly easy: find ways to give humans what they want in exchange for doing what the AI wants.

We have no mean to know. Maybe the subjective experience is an inherent part of our intelligence, and not just a side effect. And I do not see any way of applying the scientific method to the subjective experience.

Nethertheless, I really hope that the future will prove me wrong.
I don't fall in love with any of them, sorry! I know I'm hard to please (being a designer/writer and have designed book cover myself)... I like the graph from the white one best - because it's going upwards -> speeding up, louder, bolder, etc. But I like the overall feel from the black cover, 3rd one.
I find it strange that you think AI and WBE are the same thing. Putting your claims about machine cognition (which can then be separated into various cognitive faculties) aside, you really think that emulating human cognition on a separate substrate is outright impossible? Then what's the seemingly "magical" property of our meat substrate that forbids outright, or forbids via excessive expense, using any other substrate ever?
The biggest advantage of docker I've seen so far is Dokku [1]. If I want to get a dev-instance up and running to show to coworkers (or the client) I just can do "git remote add dokku dokku@example.com && git push dokku master" and share the link with them. And with very little modifications the same can be deployed at Heroku (though I don't use heroku personally).

And if you follow the dokku instructions it's fairly easy to setup, while doing something similar without Dokku but nginx/apache+php/passenger would take a fair amount of time to setup and config to run like that.

I read the first volume, and had two main reactions. The first was that the insight into the structure of tools like Asterix and Audacity and bash was fascinating. The second was that there is not really any common sense of what is "architecture" in software, and what is something else.
Evolving With a Little Help From Our Friends
Singularity prediction isn't even taken seriously by most formerly-intrigued SF writers these days. (Go google Ramez Naam on the subject. Or me. Or Cory Doctorow.) Best we can probably hope for is better intelligence augmentation/amplification than we've got now.

The reason it's popular is that it plays to some deep eschatological anxieties shared by many people -- and it strikes resonant echoes with Christian millennialism, making it an easy memetic poisoned chalice for anyone who has consciously rejected knee-jerk Christian doctrine but not actually re-evaluated all their composite assumptions and beliefs to drink from.
^^ Seconded.

"People scream about efficiency, go on the web you read "efficiency efficiency efficiency!". No. They will actually love things that, that however slow, [will make] things convenient for them. And most researchers, really, when it comes to it, love inefficient languages that make it easy to write a n academic paper about how to improve it. Um, let's see, language myths: we want a language for writing reliable code. No! Most programmers, most of the time, scream in horror when they have to do something extra to for reliability, maintainability, safety, all the good stuff"

Exactly. Whatever flaws can be said to exist within the Westminster system (be it in Britain, Canada, Australia, etc), without the moral cause of not being ruled by a monarch, none of them are derived from the continued existence of the monarchy. It is so benign that its existence doesn't matter. Change for change's sake is a dangerous game.
Is the early example in the document correct?

Using an input string of abc123 he claims [a-z]+\d+ will match the entire string (which I agree with). He then says that [a-z]+?\d+? will only match abc1. Wouldn't it fail since the non-greedy match on [a-z] would just match 'a' causing the non-greedy match on \d to fail trying to match 'b'?
Curious, what happened with gmail?
I guess this whole "X in Go" trend is now being replaced with "X in Swift"
This sounds really good. The only disappointment is that it seems there is no business model that allows email providers and services like this to provide Unlimited encrypted email (no limitations i.e. Gmail-esque) absolutely free to all users. I'd be willing to gamble that if anyone could sustain this for a couple years, people would leave Gmail in droves, no one I know likes having to use the USA/NSA/google/big brother tagteam, but they still don't value the invasion of privacy enough to pay for it.

Zdnet is confused -- it says Chrome Canary is "alpha" and Chrome Dev is "beta", but the "beta" channel of Chrome isn't called "dev". It is called, surprisingly enough, "beta". "Dev" is more like "alpha", and "Canary" is more like "nightly".

(Does this make the original title misleading enough that it should be changed? After all, there is no "64-bit beta Chrome Web browser for Windows" to be benchmarked.)
"The problem is that if you had WANTED that deal you could have BARGAINED for it." -- it's plain as day you have no idea what you're talking about :D you guessed correctly later on - "But wait, I hear you cry: "minimum wage workers have no negotiating power so they can't just demand exactly what they want!"" -- that's right. some people have little to no choice, it's amazing that you are unaware of that...

as for the whole reasoning, it goes under the assumption that all the gain will be taken out of benefits, which is unfounded. also, why would the worker not cover benefits him/herself? with cash in hand, s/he has a much wider choice then picking McD's or BurgerKing's bundle package or nothing... ultimately your argumentation also goes to show how important workplace safety regulations are, since many business owners think like you, and history has already taught us how that can end.

as for the reasoning about studies, this is so full of fallacies and arbitrary pseudo-reasoning it's hard to even start answering. these things are hard to measure, yes. maybe you will be surprised, but people did already realize that long before you wrote that comment. but, when a couple of unemployment figures suit your point, then, OTOH, i am supposed to immediately blindly agree with you? :)

this is getting boring.

P.S. I cannot resist - do you even realize that after so much market-efficiency-based reasoning, you completely took a shit on it in order to discredit the study? the effects you expect are products of a theory based on ideal markets and market agents, yet when we fail to measure the expected effects, that's because they are anything but ideal. genius :D
The thing is Republicanism won't actually solve the problem you mention, of the core group of powerful MPs being overwhelmingly representative of the elite. If anything it will swing things further under their control.

The monarchy aren't that rich or powerful at all by modern standards. The true wealth is in random parts of the aristocracy that owns massive parts of west London, but again merely turning into a republic is not going to result in that being redistributed any more palatably than it is today.

It is a dated institution, and it is a bit odd to have people born into such a thing, but it really isn't that actively harmful, and certainly less harmful than a headlong rush into a worse alternative when it appears to be slowly diminishing into irrelevance without the need of any external stimulus.
"My recommendation is to plan privacy ahead. Think of your product as something that should not 'keep everything, analyze later' but 'keep what we must, and dump the rest'."

This is what we call "solving the wrong problem". Yes, those observations are good ones (albeit obvious) for anyone seeking to design a privacy-respecting service. But how do we get anyone to do that?

As long as companies are profit-oriented and legally able to do so, they will data-mine everyone as far as they can. What can be done about this? The author has nothing to say on this latter question.

> I'd be interested to hear what the proposed benefits of abolishing the monarchy are, beyond a trivial cash saving which one might argue is invalid in the first place.

It's quite simple really: in a republic a president is the head of state (as opposed to a monarch), and is elected (as opposed to a monarch) to serve for a defined period of time (as opposed to a monarch). A president is chosen based on merit, not on birth right. It's really about fairness and accountability.
Trying to secure a self-updating program pulling updates from an untrusted source that it's explicitly designed to trust via its threat model is not "closing an attack vector." It's "impossible."

If you think Google's update mechanism is compromised, you need to turn off automatic updates, and then only update via Chrome's offline installer after verifying checksums. Of course, the question is "compare against what?" If Google Chrome is actively hostile, it isn't going to be turned up by Joe Random decompiling every single version and inspecting all the routines. You are slightly better off if you build it yourself, but now you have opened a turtles-all-the-way rat's nest of Trusting Trust and your entire toolchain. And who are you paying to review google's source code against accidental memory leakage each time a new version comes out?

If Google is hostile against you, you shouldn't even be using their browser in any way.

I think it sends them a note that says, "Someone at ProtonMail sent you a message - click this link and enter the password they gave you to open it!"

Presumably they'll have some way to distribute the password in some ephemeral or slightly out-of-band way. It's probably less secure than messages within their environment, but it shouldn't ever hit another mailserver in plaintext (ideally ProtonMail wouldn't even have the plaintext anyway).

Becoming a science fiction cliche does not reduce the probability of an event occurring.

Edit: retracting the following:

>The reason it's popular is that it plays to some deep eschatological anxieties shared by many people.

This is probably true, but that's not an argument against the feasibility of AI or the extent of its implications. You're saying, "These projections "rhyme" with those of a low-status group, therefore they can't be true."
And immediately after they tell you not to enter your real password, they say "Why not get your family, friends and workmates to test their passwords too?"
I don't think the main challenge is to teach this "trick" to computers. The problem is probably to give them the proper context.

no it'll still match but because both are non-greedy it could match on just c1 instead of abc123.

The architecture of LLVM heavily reminds me of Gallium. API State trackers (GL, D3D) are front-ends, HW drivers are back-ends, and the isolated IR in the middle.
It is no different from the desktop, actually.

Just go look what were the official programming languages from the OS vendors, along the computing history.

What you have lacking is that nowadays, thanks to opensource, outside OS vendors, companies see little value investing into compiler development.

So very few companies produce compilers the mobile OS.

As a result you are left with the open source community, with very few resources tackling these issues.

This all leads to the situation, where the only production quality compilers are the official ones.

There were plans not to disable the on-chip GPU and use it as a power saving feature. When the gpu work load can be handled by the on-chip GPU, disabling the external GPU saves you quite a lot of energy.
My suggestions would be:

1. Seperate work and personal - There is no need to be receiving emails from friends, Amazon or whoever when you're at work. Have a separate Inbox to process these, they will be waiting for you when you chose to look at them, not to distract you when replying to work emails.

2. Unsubscribe from everything - When was the last time you looked at or read a promotional email or weekly newsletter? If it wasn't recently (a month), then unsubscribe.

3. Manage your contacts - Do you need to be CC'd into every email? If you don't want to receive so many emails from a colleague, just email politely and say, due to the amount of emails you get, please don't CC me unless it's vitally important. This may have the added benefit of drawing their attention to what they're doing and make them reconsider who else they're CC'ing.

4. Consider separate email accounts for separate purposes - Running a businesses, a non-profit (as per OP) and you attend conferences alot? Why not have four email accounts? That way you can separate each of your 2 'jobs' and have one email for your personal friends and family, The Queen and Amazon. A separate 'public profile' account can be used to field incoming requests for help or advice or meet-ups from strangers or acquaintances that you may meet at Conferences or on your blog. These are unlikely to be high-priority but you can have a scan through at your leisure when you get the time without them interrupting your normal work flow.

However, I can't help but feel sometimes, people who receive thousands of emails it's because they actually like to receive thousands of emails because it makes them feel and look more important and popular than they perhaps are. How many of those email chains were actually started by you sending out emails to other people? Or inviting people to contact you on websites or conferences? We've all heard someone subtly boasting about coming back from holiday and having x hundred emails. All they're really saying is "look how popular I am and how much people need me". The irony of course is that, even with all of those unanswered emails, it's amazing how things just kept working as normal.

Well, besides the fact that Elizabeth II is queen of a number of independent and sovereign countries around the world, I don't think anyone would expect a non-Brit (or non-Canadian, non-Australian, etc) person to care about the way we choose to govern ourselves.

Somewhat beside the point of the article, but Woosh doesn't sound amazing, it sounds positively dystopian.

Water fountains are typically put up as a public amenity, and are intended at least in part for those who would otherwise not be able to water themselves. This would lock the neediest people out of an essential resource.

I mean - what possible benefit is there to me to have to sign up and have my identity logged in order to drink water? Oh, none. What benefit is there to eugenics, social exclusion, and racial cleansing? Plenty.

It's not about improving accessibility drinking water, it's about locking an entire sector of the Israeli populace (ethnic Palestinians) out of clean potable water.

The monarchy and the wider UK constitution is like the ultimate legacy system. Extremely hard to change because it has all grown organically and has tentacles and interdependencies everywhere. And there's no authoritative documentation (ie written constitution), just a whole lot of observations about how it has always worked in the past [1].

Its worth reading about the duties of the "Queen's Remembrancer" [2], who is a real person right now. All the bizarre stuff about knives and nails and horseshoes and tablecloths has been going on, year after year, for over 800 years. Like some kind of autonomous system that nobody knows how to shut down any more.

So I find the British constitution quite fascinating, in the same way that some really old software from the early sixties but still in use somehow, would be fascinating. Unless you power the whole thing down (revolution) all you can really do is change it slowly. I sometimes wonder if thats the point of it.

If the sentence you quoted were the one that they used, I would agree with you that it was stated clearly. Unfortunately, they chose to word it this way:

"(Never enter your real password into a password checker, as unlike this one, some may be fake)"

The sentence is parenthetical, undermining it's importance, and it goes in two different directions, which makes it hard to follow. They should clearly advise users against entering their "real" password in one sentence, and then attest to the authenticity of their password checker in a separate sentence.

By the end of their sentence, it's hard to tell whether they mean that I shouldn't put my "real" password into other password checkers. The implication is that their password checker is real and safe. A clearer way to phrase it would be like this:

"Don't put your real password into this password checker."
Yeah, really. It's creating a whole human mind that's hard. Particular, isolated tasks or features about particular things in particular cultures are not actually that hard to learn/classify in themselves, as your data corpus will be more uniform than if you were trying to perform some more general cognition across a wider variety of contexts. More uniformity makes it easier to learn.
It shouldn't be surprising that Niagra is slow on single threads. The whole point of the design was to support parallel, non-interactive tasks (e.g. databases) at the expense of non-threaded workloads. It was a design trade-off that Sun was very up front about. Even N1 & N2 gave remarkable price/performance numbers when used for the tasks it was designed for.
