All depends on where you live, you need to use comparable areas. I am twenty six miles from work, I was closer but they moved and while I would not mind moving closer the housing market really hasn't recovered to make it feasible. Regardless of that, the primary reason I like being out in the country is that it is quiet, it is also fairly dark excepting for the odd street lights. It is also safe, I have left windows open all day while at work, I have done so at night. Heck I have gone to work and the garage door didn't close.

All the conveniences you list are likely in both housing plots you show. The difference is familiarity. I can go about ten minutes in multiple directions from my house and pass four or more super markets, a dozen or more doctors offices, a full blown hospital and a few satellite facilities, and countless places to eat and such. Yet I make jokes about being past the banjo line because being just a few streets off the main roads its completely peaceful.

and its not unique by far, fortunately being in the tech world I can work from home and I do so at least once a week. As more employers realize the savings of letting employees work from home i expect this type of living to become even more popular.

I could go join friends downtown, live behind locked doors. Hell they even have to buzz me in the lower door! Yet I can't be down there an hour without hearing a cop go by and frankly I don't need the noise and worse, the filth.

>You need to have an instrument that fits your domain perfectly.

Well, then you have to built it FOR your domain. It would strange to have the built-in functions fit ANY domain.
Pascal's "tagged unions" don't offer anything more than C's though. It's still unsafe and always requires as much memory as the combination of largest cases. OCaml / Haskell / others don't allow type changes at least. That would be useful even without the pattern matching.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I think smaller office/commercial areas benefit from this kind of development style. A commercial core built like this really are places people want to come and be.

But the residential picture in these areas are a mess. That's why lots of cities have turned their medieval quarters into glorified shopping malls with hotels attached. None of the locals particularly want to live there.
Also, and this is entirely speculation and I'd love to hear a battery engineer confirm this, but: if you're packaging together cylindrical batteries, it inherently gives you more air channels between the batteries to promote cooling. When you're talking tens of kilowatts, both in discharge and charge rates, the percentage that ends up as waste heat suddenly becomes a whole lot of heat. You probably wouldn't want a maximally stuffed cavity with these packs turning into a single, massive chunk of thermal mass.

EDIT: looks like I was firsted somewhere below, doh!
Best guess is that they're either planning another huge fundraising round or going public.
Thanks for this. Very interesting.

I assume that without the RSA key I cannot generate these codes myself then, even if I was to guess at the range?
For me, the big problem here is that the website gives me no indication of what the game actually is. I understand it involves my smartphone and photographing things in the real world, but that's about it.

However, when I go to the Kickstarter page I see you've got this wonderful video which explains /exactly/ what the game involves, and it actually looks pretty cool.

So I would say get some more information about the game on the website (I would start by adding the Kickstarter video to the front page).

Great idea, though - good luck with the launch of the first season!

It's funny. I think the irony was lost in qwerta's comment.
No, the density of suburbs doesn't inevitably increase. Many suburbs have ordinances enforcing minimum lot sizes and maximum building heights, which limits the density of development. Suburbs do this to prevent the character of their town and protect property values of the residents.

This is why suburban sprawl is so wasteful - it spreads out, but never up.
Nobody's talking about "swapping out" the eval-like features.

The parent was saying we could swap out all usages of 'old fashioned' functions like str_replace for some 'new fashioned' alternative, like String::replace, using some kind of upgrader tool.

I was pointing out that the PHP's eval-like features make it difficult for any such tool to exist. In particular, with Python or Javascript we might spit out a warning "Eval spotted; this upgrade might not work!". If we did the same in PHP, everyone would get a warning! "String used as function detected; this upgrade might not work!", "Variable variable detected; this upgrade might not work!", and so on.
This is great. Do you aggregate a lot of deal site or are you monitoring prices?
I don't know the answer here, but it's something I've considered often, so:

Is it possible that those top 1-2 people just knew so much more than you, going into the class, and had such a strong foundation in closely related material, that they picked it up more quickly? I mean, if the scenario was "my twin brother and I went into a math class with the same level of math knowledge, and he didn't study and got an A, while I studied 15-20 hr/wk and got a B" then I would find that much stronger evidence to conclude that these differences may be innate. But to me it seems likely that the 1-2 people who vastly outperformed everyone else may have just been setting themselves up to do that for the previous 10 years. By which I mean, they were intensively studying math throughout high school (and likely before), so that although they may not have known the course material going in, after seeing it once they think, "oh, yes, that's an obvious result based on x, y, z things that I already know. And it's a very nice way of thinking about w." Whereas you, not knowing x, y, z, or w, don't have any of that intuition. So they can make connections and learn by analogy "effortlessly" while you have to study much more to understand these concepts.

Thoughts?
I agree -- artificially injecting enthusiasm into a speech draws more attention on the speaker and turns it into some sort of performance, and can detract from the message.

Another person there commented to me afterwards, "yeah that was a great speech, but I just wish it had more energy, if it did it could have gone viral!" But this person was from California... I think different regions are calibrated to different communication styles, and to someone calibrated to a reserved European temperament (wherein "enthusiasm" often is auto-encoded as "insincere" or "silly") the delivery was perfect :)
I saw some of your old comments on a past passive income thread and because of the recent similar posting with links to the old thread I was able to read about your real estate post. I had some questions if you wouldn't mind.

"Arrow theory" here is better known as Category Theory. I highly, highly recommend learning more about it if you're interested. I cannot understate its beauty.

As a starter guide, I highly recommend reading Lawvere's Conceptual Mathematics.
I agree that more detail is needed. (Somehow when they said network sniffing I thought maybe the thing presented itself as a NIC. I dunno.)

However, let's not get too dismissive. I always remember reading about the security problems in firewire for example. These were OS independent. A malicious device could do DMA into the host machine without the OS being able to validate. This type of hardware design issue leading to security problems is not unheard of.

Lastly, printer drivers? Huh? Can you point at an actual Windows feature that is currently shipping or are you thinking of 1990s Windows and autorun? When you plug in a device these days, it will check Windows Update based on the device ID but I am not aware of anything that will trust unverified code coming from elsewhere without the user doing something.
This applies to all USB devices indeed and can even be made OS-agnostic.

USB stacks have been proven to be buggy (one of the PS3 exploits iirc used a modified Android phone giving malformed USB descriptors to the host). Add DMA to the mix and you have root access...
just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's unsuitable. it doesn't work for me either, but i know plenty of people who it does work for. same with windows.

and that said, you can always put linux on it if that's what works best for you

and i always develop in a vm which is as close to production as possible, less surprises come deployment time then. although i know people who don't, so each to his own

I have primary medical insurance and secondary medical insurance.

I'd like software where I can mark that someone from my family has a doctor's appointment. I get few bills, all of them could be different because of mistakes: Insurance EOB, Secondary Insurance, Doctor bill. Sometimes the bill gets "corrected", in which case all prior bills should also be stored. All email communication between me and any of those parties should be stored in system (I can copy/paste). There should be red flags when numbers are not same (for example $53.67 vs $56.37 - it happens). I should be able to upload picture of EOB/other bills into the system. The system should be able to deal with a single check paying several bills (for example a bill for $26, $24 and $50 should be marked paid when I send a check for $100, and if I mistakenly send a check for $90, there should be a red flag)

None of this has to be integrated into primary/secondary insurance systems, I can upload everything. System should warn me if I have 2 of 3 bills though, have reminders to get missing ones resolved.

This information should be visible from my phone, my wife's phone and also from a website.

It seems like it would be FUD, as the capability to remotely disable the car (and dealing with the liability from doing that in a inconvenient or even dangerous place) seems rather expensive, when you might as well just check the milage when it's serviced (not servicing your new or new-ish car at an authorized dealership is a great way of slashing its resale value).

Last year I made a wine cataloging app for iOS based personal gripes that I had with all the others out there. I just wanted something incredibly simple, and all the others were ugly and complicated.

I was inspired by the 7 minute workout app posted here, and set aside 8 hours to build the whole thing. All told I ended up spending about 40 hours on it and haven't really touched it since.

I started selling it at $.99, but sales were slow and I wasn't really making anything at all off it. So I raised the price 5x to $4.99 and sales didn't really change much. Now it brings me in about $50-150 / month that I use as extra cash toward paying off my student loans.
These funds are like the patent trolls. The difference is that with patent trolls you are trapped in a inneficient patent system while in this case Argentina has a big part of the responsability in the way the government reestructured 93% of the debt.
You keep repeating this, and I find it ill-thought. Clojure offers lots of hammers, saws, drills and other tools.

But you seem like you want millions of them -- a hardware store all your own.

More is not always better, and you don't need to have a tool for every little specialized case (nor it's good for your coding -- fewer but solid abstractions and a set of tools that can be combined to build the most elaborate structures are better than an explosion of tools for everything).
Yup. It shows the power of creditors when they take to the courts. It seems odd that that all the other creditors accepted a haircut ... and the one who didn't is causing the present situation.

Wouldn't it be more fair to say endemic corruption and decades of misguided plans that swung too hard to socialist, then capitalist and then again socialist policies created this?

The idea that the root cause of this is that a group of investors come along, buy debt on the open market and then expect that debt to be paid seems overly simplistic.

So this is essentially a free 12 month trial? The problem with that is I don't want to sign up today because the trial will start from the day I sign up. So if I had something ready to go today that would be fine but I don't - and by the time I do have something to go I may well have forgotten about this.

If this is an attempt to get to the section of the market currently filled by the likes of Digital Ocean (to name but one) then this might be the wrong way to go about it. Personally, I want to be able to start small (VERY small, like FREE), and scale it up as I get customers. Digital Ocean and the like are great for small but I worry that they won't fit if I need to scale.

So maybe you could offer something cheap and small as opposed to the "big or nothing" attitude that Rackspace seems to have. If I knew I could start miniscule but go all the way up to massive with the same provider then that's a big selling point for me.

Wow. Finally.

I've seen this Mill occdasionally pitching and always have been asking the same question: are your results from simulation or from FPGA? Now I know the answer.

The most suspicious thing in Mill is that belt thing. To produce operands for N operations you need N*3 (2 for reads, one for write) ports of RAM. For even two operations that means 6 ports. No FPGA allow that out-of-the-box. Given that, you have to implement that in registers and logic, wasting FPGA resources.

(AFAIK, silicon fabs also does not have such RAM blocks. you have to build them themselves, either from registers and logic (and make them slow) or using transistors (which make development process slow). this is THE source of relative slowness of Itanium and Elbrus thing from Russia.)

If you want an advice, go for Tabula. You'll need many R/W ports per block of RAM, they seem to have those (12 ports RAM blocks). Maybe your design won't be as slow as I think it will.
Regarding your second question, it looks like you must be a (relatively?) new customer to participate. From the developer+ T&C:

The same statement can be said about the mobile apps. Also, Shazam is now baked into Siri.
If I'm reading the op right, this is incorrect. Oftentimes "products" in various contexts are "categorical products cut down by some sensible quotienting". In any category the categorical product will always be the largest (this is essentially what its definition entails) and only by careful choice of category will that correspond to some of the less formal "products" available.
> Okay, but when does the factory first come online? The projections are for by 2020, so where do any possible cost savings for the III come from? Unless we can expect it to slip a few more years like the X did.

Tesla has already broken ground in several states for the Gigafactory (with plans to discard the sites they choose not to move forward with). I think 18-24 months is a reasonable timeline for them to be online.
A lot of Argentinians visit Uruguay for vacations, and many also keep their savings in Uruguayan banks. I think this won't affect Uruguay negatively.

Napkin math supports your concerns.

- The US used 134.51 billion gallons of gas in 2013.[1]
- There are ~33 kWh/gal in gasoline [2]

134.51e9 gal x 33 kWh / gal = 4.44e12 kWh (4.44 trillion kWh / year)

- The US used a total of 3.856 trillion kWh of electricity in 2011 [3]

Ignoring improved efficiency and excluding other factors, converting all gasoline usage to electric would more than double US electricity consumption.

Under reasonable assumptions, PV solar generates about 0.75 kWh/m^2 per day. [4]

4.44 trillion kWh/year / 0.75 kWh/m^2 per day x 365 days/year / 1e6 m^2 per km^2 = 16,219 km^2

Which means you could generate all of the required electricity with about 16,200 km^2 of solar panels - which is just about exactly the total land area of Hawaii [5], or 405 million average home PV systems.

It's doable, but it will be non-trivial.

This is an interesting statement; I'm not sure how you can substantiate it -- I will not be able to evaluate the impact of the vulnerabilities until everything is published after the Black Hat presentation next week.

I looked to see if USB could 'do' DMA (similar to i1394) and the general consensus seemed to be that it was in the hands of drivers several layers below what was normally accessible to device developers - so unlikely but perhaps possible if there was an exploit. (It sounds like all DMA by the USB device would have to go through driver software on the computer, instead of direct memory access as is possible with firewire.) http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=243802

This all sounds similar to how 3d graphics drivers are a new security frontier as web browsers rush to support arbitrary shaders: any usb device can claim to be something with a 'ships-with-the-OS' exploitable driver (eg. a 10-year-old usb network adapter) and then pop the exploit to run arbitrary code with device driver level access.

The solution will require sandboxing device drivers (in user-space or with virtualization) and will probably affect performance to such a degree that it will have to support opt-out.
Cocktail Robotics Grand Challenge
Jet engines are lined with kevlar to contain engine failures. It usually works. Uncontained engine failures are extremely rare. I'd hope they are using similar technology to prevent flywheel bits from flying outside the bus. Parts around the flywheel container will probably be damaged or destroyed but the container should survive intact.

There's two types of flywheels I'm aware of that are failsafe. The first is a tape flywheel. On failure it unwinds inside the container. The other type is a system where the disk is made of powdered ceramic. In the event of overload it turns to dust.

A paper I found online suggests the F1 system uses a powdered ceramic disk: http://136.142.82.187/eng12/Author/data/2097.docx

You can eliminate the need for an electric blanket by just getting a down-filled blanket. In a normally heated house, I would actually sweat under one. You can buy them in a "half down" style, which would be cooler, but, if the point is to allow you to turn the heat down, down blankets are the perfect thing.
