The point of the article was really that Consumer Reports will be releasing a new reliability report on the fall. The Tesla's reliability rating may or may not fall, depending on the survey results provided by actual owners. CR does not include its own experiences in the reliability report, though these experiences do factor into CR's ratings and recommendations.
AFAIK PureBasic can compile on all platforms w/o any problems.

Yes, this works pretty well. It still isn't technically full screen, but it's much larger than the default one. I do wish it was possible to open a gmail compose window without the whole gmail back-end behind it, so that I could pop open a compose tab without waiting the few seconds it takes for gmail to load, but I guess if I cared enough I could just find some lightweight smtp client.
The results I am getting from google.co.uk do not support that theory at all.

Abusing the cancelation policy is the specific immoral act I'm calling out here. Offering employment invitations is fine.

But, often a company has very forgiving cancelation policies to be customer-friendly. By abusing those cancelation policies to do a DDOS-style attack is going to lead to adverse impacts on the ecosystem (less forgiving cancelation policies, drivers & riders wasting time chasing bogus reservations, etc)
Why is this "sad"? VB.NET offers little (anything?) over C#. I've never seen a bit of VB.NET you couldn't transpile into perfectly readable C# outside of really gross and bad implicit type conversions around Booleans.

If Xamarin should care about VB.NET, it should be better at things than C# is.
It depends.

The California Corporation Code states that merely residing in the state does not mean you are required to register as a foreign (out of state) LLC and pay the $800. If your LLC is registered elsewhere, and your business is 100% internet only and doesn't have any employees, property, etc in the state, then you are probably fine. Obviously talking to a real lawyer about your specific case is a good idea.

Keep in mind though that you WILL still have to pay California income tax on whatever your share of the LLC's profits is.

Isn't that the whole point of USB's isochronous transfer mode, where a peripheral schedules part of the total USB bandwidth budget for a regular transfer of data? USB 3.1's got similar bandwidth to Thunderbolt and HDMI 1.3, so that could work for many video applications, although not for uncompressed 4K/60Hz, although VESA Display Stream Compression could allow it to work.
Consumerization of IT
looks great on easy data, would love to see a live demo on a crowded room - CMU has something implemented on 'faces in the wild' (http://www.consortium.ri.cmu.edu/FaceDemo/)
This is one of the reasons IPv6 addresses are being given out in such massive allotments. ICANN doesn't want anyone to have to get multiple "chunks" and blow up the routing table later.
Which side tips?
>> Does the decision encouraging "fee shifting" require that the case go to trial?

Nope. It only requires that the case is "exceptional" -- in the sense that the plaintiff filed an exceptionally crappy lawsuit.

>> Does it require that the fees actually be paid by the defendant? Or might the law school students still be able to receive payment by the troll for their pro bono defense?

I haven't looked into this myself, but my law students tell me that we can get fee shifting even for pro bono work.
This is very similar to Doug Lenat's work on Automated Mathematician & later on Eurisko, and later Ken Haase's follow up work on representation languages.

http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=ht...

There were severe sticking points around the cultivation of an idea of "interesting" properties and the performance issues around evaluating a combinatoric space of possible manipulations. There hasn't been serious work along those lines since the early 90s or so.

It's annoying because especially Haase's work has some very practical insights, but Wolfram seems to be loathe to ever admit he's building off of someone else's work.
Packages for the major Linux distributions are being worked on, see http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2014-June/...

I have my phone for 3 years, I charge it at least once daily and many times I use the cable to bring it to me, thus the phone ends up hanging from the micro USB connector. It still works perfectly, so I guess YMMV.
This is the type of product that immediately makes my life and the lives of my sales people easier (Its very rare you can say that in SaaS/ sales software).

If SDRs/ BDRs execute multiple follow ups (now automatically with this) you're more likely to get lead lists to conversation. This is awesome... not to mention, totally "guilt free" for SDRs which is a huge issue. We will be implementing sales-team-wide asap.
it's not that it's not perfect - it's dangerous and fundamentally NOT in the spirit of *NIX. It does not makes things better - it makes things more like Windows and Apple. If you feel Windows and/or Apple are better, then I suggest you use them instead. What many younger people seem to think is that Free == no cost. Freedom is about choice and control over your own destiny. systemd is an affront to all of the things GNU/Linux has stood for for two decades. It's been adopted because the main desktop environment has gotten in bed with systemd and now depends on it. I would urge you to think about it in terms of how this adoption will limit choice in the future, and ultimately cede control of literally all of Linux's underpinnings to a single entity. Has nothing Snowden revealed gotten into your head yet?
This is what the world sees currently at that link:

Squarespace trial accounts are not visible to the public. When you are ready to publish your website, upgrading your trial will make your site active to the world.

You can get to the site to see it but there are a few hoops to jump through. Given that there are other free platforms which don't make people jump through those hoops to even see the site, you might consider moving it to some other free platform.

Also, I am failing to understand what the site is supposed to be doing for a startup. I am seeing a short list of companies with location in the city + state format. Maybe I am just stupid, but I just don't see what the value here is supposed to be. The About page (called 411) is not really helping me wrap my head around it.
When compared to other wired home automation manufacturers (like Niko) and for the same functionality (# switches, lights, valves etc.) it is way cheaper. The main module is costly though.
Btw, it's not a wireless system so only usable for a new house/completen renovation.
JSDoc is just an equivalent [1] to Javadoc [2] (and PHPDoc is another one). Those formats just describe what you can do with your comments in code that look like this:

/ * * some documentation * /

The Javadoc tool converts those comments to a collection of clunky HTML sites with documentation [3] that we all know.

What the project linked here does is similar: Just like the Javadoc tool, it converts your comments from code into a well-readable documentation -- but not with clunky HTML but in concise Markdown.

To see an example, just put this sample Java code [4] into the box and convert.

Brian from Backblaze here. To be clear, there are two levels of security/encryption at Backblaze:

1) The friendliest way we could design for people to restore their files was to allow customers to sign into a website with a username/password and recover one or more files. This is the default situation.

2) You can optionally turn on a "private encryption key" but if you do that, understand you MUST write down that key because if you lose it, you can never recover it, and Backblaze (nor any government organization) will EVER be able to recover your files. NEVER. LOSE THAT PASSWORD AND THEY ARE GONE GONE GONE!

In the case of #2, as long as you don't need to recover from a crash, you don't enter your private encryption key and nobody will ever have access to your files, period. However, if you lose a file, you have to sign into the Backblaze website and provide your passphrase which is ONLY STORED IN RAM for a few seconds and your file is decrypted. Yes, you are now in a "vulnerable state" until you download then "delete" the restore at which point you are back to a secure state.

If you are even more worried about the privacy of your data, we highly recommend you encrypt it EVEN BEFORE BACKBLAZE READS IT on your laptop! Use TrueCrypt. Backblaze backs up the TrueCrypt encrypted bundle having no idea at all what is in it (thank goodness) and you restore the TrueCrypted bundle to yourself later.

The artists say that they will stand up to the charges. Also I don't think in this case Germany would extradite. Not so much on principle but rather because of the triviality...
I didn't realize that Mono doesn't do Silverlight. Now I read they refer to it as a separate project: http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight

Thanks
We did that on the cables for the Palm webOS devices too -- the top side all had a silver depression for easy finger feel.
The Frictionless Product
Nit pick:

"The top two manufacturers in the FPGA market are Xilinx and Altera. Xilinx was first off the block in the FPGA industry and has the lion’s share of the market."

"Lion's share" is a bit of an exaggeration. Market share numbers for Xilinx are in the 45%-50% range and for Altera in the 40%-45% range.

i just can't imagine how this should work (to avoid saying that it can't work), so some specs or more information would be useful.
If you use cryptocurrency you've mined yourself it will be anonymous, assuming you've proxied your miners through something to conceal their IPs.
I really wish Mono would gain more traction. C# (3.0 onwards) is one of the nicest programming languages I have worked with (despite its warts). I also heard a lot of good things about F#.
Our msbuild implementation can now build Project K and Roslyn

Wow. Really impressive -- our MSBuild hackery is gut-wrenching.
Tesla have only been making an entire car for a few years, and they've only made a few tens of thousands of them.

Anyone who buys one has to reasonably expect a few teething problems here and there. Early adopters of Version 1.0, etc.

What matters is how Telsa deals with these problems, and if customer satisfaction is severely impacted. From all reports, they're doing a good job and owners are not yet unhappy.

I see absolutely no problem here, and nothing to worry about. They're obviously learning and growing, and things will improve as time goes on.
No link, so tried to Google, can't find you there. The name is way too similar to British to rank at the moment.
Last time I met a VB.net programmer was about 2007, what advantages does it offer over C#?
What makes you so sure they didn't provide perfect security? Officially, management might feel embarrassed, while unofficially enjoying the exhibit.
I don't believe you can force-plug a USB connector backwards unless you use a hammer and a clamp.
If you value those three things, probably better off going with a real, licensed limo service than a fly-by-night app, anyway.
JQuery's $.click in 342 chars
If he wanted for the code to be available, though, he could give it to someone else (who doesn't work for a GPU company), and that person would then release it (and would own the copyright).

He would not gain more "reputation points" because his name wouldn't be linked to the project, but that would avoid for the code to be forgotten in the cellar while nobody cares.
BrianW from Backblaze here. That is a little high, but is plausible in some installations. When running Backblaze on a laptop, you will notice a couple different processes running. "bzserv" should always be very very small, it doesn't do much. When you see "bztransmit", that is the process that reads your files from disk, encrypts them in RAM, and transmits them to the Backblaze datacenter. It tends to be about 30 MBytes of executable code, plus up to another 30 MBytes of the file being encrypted in RAM and transmitted. So most customers will see bztransmit bounce around at 60 MBytes RAM.

HOWEVER, there are short moments when bztransmit must read a list of files into RAM, and it can reach larger sizes like 240 MBytes. bztransmit does the deduplication, which means it must store one SHA-1 of every file it has transmitted from your computer to our datacenter. If you have a lot of files that have been transmitted (over 1 million files is "a lot") then Backblaze might reach 200 MBytes in size.
Looks like it is extremely basic. For example it can't open doors, push elevator buttons or climb stairs.
Interesting spot to plug a book. Is it any good? My book list has been shrinking the last few months.
FYI, the current Mono website is pretty outdated right now and will soon be replaced by a new one built on Jekyll: check http://mono.github.io/website/ for a preview.

Xiaomi Smartphones Allegedly Sending Users Data to China Servers
Internet hiccups today? You're not alone. Here's why
I've never had a tech job. Right now, I don't even have a job. I had always worked in service fields - my last 8 years or so was spent as a supervisor in a pharmacy. Right now, I moved across an ocean and start language/civics classes next week. I guess I'm a student, then?

I read here because I am interested in technology. I like to see where things are headed. I see hope in many of the articles and have strange future views (spouse got me interested in the Singularity movement... 30 years, they say). I have considered starting a business, and can apply much of the things I read.

Also, I find the site interesting. The articles work for me. And I'm not all that scared to read the comments - I don't often lose a little hope for humanity when I read them because the community has a brain :)
Athletic Ingenuity in Kickstarter Creation
Yeah, but that's like saying a Tesla Model S is a cheap car. It is compared to ferraris and lambos and porsches and the like, which are what it's competing against. But there are plenty of other cars out there which are cheaper than any of those like hondas and toyotas and fords and whatnot.
Usually humans. I'm not involved in this kind of research, but BCI with implanted electrodes probably refers to cases where these electrodes are implanted for some other reason.

For example it can be necessary to find an epileptic seizure hot spot because you can't stick someone in an MRI tube for a few days on end.

It's hard to actually make a case for BCI as an assistive technology, because every single sceletal muscle in your body provides a better input signal than EEG ever could, and there aren't so many cases where people don't have any voluntary muscle function left. (My opinion... need not be correct!)

It is slightly easier to read than C style languages (like C#). Also the VB.net specific libraries (Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace) have some nice functionality in them not found in the mainline .Net framework (although most are just quality of life stuff, not core functionality).

Disclaimer: Am a C# programmer and haven't used VB.net in a few years.
thanks for the response. Are your systems superconducting/atomic/spintronic etc? Are they an instance of adiabatic computing? Curious about these sorts of details.
Can you elaborate on the police reaction? Here are some quotes by the NYPD:

"""
“It appears to have no particular connections to terrorism or even to politics,” Miller said. “This may be somebody’s art project or even a statement.”

But police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the matter was serious nonetheless.
“Needless to say, no matter what the motive was, that is a matter of concern,” Bratton said. “I am not particularly happy about the event, and have charged Commissioner Miller to conduct a full and thorough investigation into the circumstances.”

Miller emphasized that the white flag placement was not funny, and was not acceptable.
“We don’t take these things lightly, or as a joke, or as art, or within the realm of speech,” Miller said. “These are issues of trespass. They put themselves in danger. They put others in danger.”
"""

These don't seem like unreasonable statements. It may seem interesting in the abstract, but I personally don't care for any random persons crawling all over the Brooklyn Bridge consequence-free.
Anyone who wishes is able to drive a vehicle of up to 6,000 lb. onto the Brooklyn Bridge, right next to its cables and towers.

What greater damage can be done on top of the bridge, carrying a backpack, than with a multi-ton vehicle on its deck?
heh, disutility of resumes is a very possible result here.
Congratulations, Piano Media!
F# is a phenomenal language. Not that C# is bad (it's fantastic!), but the more I use F# the more I feel it's a superior language for most tasks. First-class .NET support is the real kicker, since you can do anything from DB interaction to writing MVC controllers. Integration with existing C# projects is seamless too, so it's really just a joy to work with.

Yes. TSP is NP-complete, which means that exact solutions to TSP can be turned into exact solutions to any other NP problem in P time. However, there is no guarantee on how this transformation behaves on non-exact solutions. In fact, there are many problems that are known to be non-approximable. For example, Vertex Cover is known not to have approximation algorithms better than a factor of 1.3 or so (assuming P != NP). Maximum clique is completely inapproximable (it is impossible to approximate it to any constant factor).
I did not know d Simon had a site. If you've ever seen an interview with this man, he's a smart guy.

Anything complex may still hit some issues, though this might not matter much in the future as ASP.NET vNext will fully support Mono.
i spend almost of my time in thought. i've been this way ever since i was a kid, and i think this is why i was so bad at social skills.

most people learn social skills through implicit-pattern matching. 'when i do this, that happens' - with no real structural understanding of _why_. they implicitly learn patterns like posture, eye contact, facial microexpressions.

that implicit learning is not possible if you are always engaged in conceptual thought.
Recent versions of mu do have some thread-reconstruction support. On the command line, you can use the --include-related parameter to 'mu find' to return whole threads when any message in the thread matches the search (rather than returning only the matching message). The mu4e emacs frontend also uses that in various ways.
It's their job and maybe even their nature to threaten. Would you feel okay if they responded with a meme?
Bee Invested – Connecting Innovative Entrepreneurs With Smart Investors
There are an order of magnitude more votes than comments on HN. Asking people to supply a comment with every vote would quickly degrade the signal, overwhelming it with noisy "I agree" or "you're wrong"s.

People occasionally explain downvotes. They are not obligated to.
The device seems to be designed for Neurofeedback, and it can measure frequencies relatively accurately. It has two built-in feedback measures "attention" (mindfulness meditation) and "meditation" (more like loving kindness meditation). The raw signal can be used to develop your own classifiers/feedback measures.

Currently I think the practicality of one dry sensor on a wireless headset, combined with the cheap price, beats every competitor on the consumer level.
Does anybody know how much the severity of the problem factors into the ratings?

When doing research for my last car (a prius), a lot of the prius owners claimed that a recent reliability drop in CR Prius ratings corresponded with Toyota introducing the "Entune" radio / app system.

At least for me, I'm much less concerned about an app crashing than I am about the car leaving me stranded because of, say, a coolant leak.
Incredibly awesome build log. Cheap FPGA's are a game changer, there's going to be some very cool stuff especially as it gets easier to software devs to dip their toes into this stuff. Build logs like these really help that process along, I definitely bookmarked this so I can reread when I start my FPGA exploration project.
Nice app.
Which stack are you using for backend/frontend?
Extreme weather events I'm sure are calculated into their factors based on location. IE: No hurricanes are going to happen in Indiana, but how are you going to predict a worldwide nuclear conflict?

Should your house insurance be higher because the world might be destroyed tomorrow by aliens? Something like this isn't quantifiable and if it happens you have way bigger things to worry about than your mp3's in S3, so minuscule events like this aren't relevant in the grand scheme of things.
Gasoline and diesel engines have actually improved a lot in the last ten years.
Backblaze engineer here -> we absolutely DO NOT use a JVM on the client running on laptops. We love Java and use it in the datacenter on every web server and every pod. The reason we don't use it on the client running on laptops is twofold:

1) Java doesn't deploy super smoothly - The initial download might be 30 MBytes to include the JVM instead of 1 or 2 MBytes for a 'C' executable. Also, you have to keep updating the JVM separately, etc. It's friction to customers.

2) Java is hard to make look "native". Macintosh/Apple customers especially are sensitive to the look and feel of applications and like them to feel extremely "native".
You can create "base" image of your application and update only code. Part of our fabric deploy script:

with api.settings(**env_vars):
api.run('docker run baseimage sh -c "git pull && cp /src/webapp/settings/paths_docker.py /src/webapp/settings/paths.py"')
d = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d,%H-%M')
# new image from last running container with updates
api.run('docker commit $(docker ps -lq) baseimage:%s' % d)
api.run('docker stop $(docker ps -aq)')
api.run('docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:8073:8083 baseimage:%s sh runindocker.sh' % d)
How is the charing port not opening a minor issue? Or, the door handles getting stuck.

Both of those render the car inoperable. They got lucky in that the door handles were fixed with an OTA update. The port required a service appointment.

Compared to my three cars (Lexus RX, Jeep Wrangler, VW GTI), the Model S sounds like a complete dud. Which is a shame because it's a sexy car and I'd love to own one someday.
