I actually did not up-vote the article (for all the reasons you stated), but I do think the general "obsession with anything Tesla related" is warranted.
I took a trip to ground zero for today's computer revolution, Stanford University,
and randomly asked over a dozen students if they knew who were the first computer programmers.
Almost none knew.

I'm simultaneously horrified and amused at myself because, as I was reading along with the article, I thought to myself, "Linda Lovelace!"
Before Yahoo poached him to be their CISO, Alex was one of the principals behind iSEC Partners, our former arch-competitor and now sister company. He knows what he's talking about. If he says they're on top of shellshock, my money would be on him being right.

His team also recently poached Chris Rohlf, from his own company no less!, and Chris is probably one of the best vulnerability researchers working.

(I have no affiliation whatsoever with Yahoo and while I like Alex fine, we're not close friends. I'm pretty biased about Chris, though.)

This is more "vote of confidence" than your comment asked for; I'm just heading off a potentially unproductive thread at the pass. :)
My high school CS teacher taught us about Grace Hopper. He had been a nuclear engineer for the Navy in the sixties and seventies if I remember correctly, so he seemed to really enjoy surprising the largely male class (and encouraging the female students to stick around) that a woman had invented Cobol.

I'm pretty sure the first time I heard about Ada Lovelace was from the Boy Scout Computers Merit Badge book when I was 14. Ironic, given that organizations reputation as of late.

I don't really recall any college courses really focusing on the history of technological development unless it was particularly relevant, except maybe grad level courses in which we read historical research papers.
Challenges facing predictive APIs
> being stupid enough to lie about his termination

You might want to reevaluate that position. You're reflexively siding with the CEO. You don't know that he's lying and saying "I think was fired because I did this" is not lying either way anyways.

I'm not saying you have to side with the ex-employee either, doing an AMA like that was pretty stupid as well. But the CEO's level of basic professionalism here leaves anything he's saying as pretty suspect as well.
But why do they only apply to password storage? In both use cases cracking proceeds by running a lot of possible passwords through the algorithm and doing a cheap verification operation at the end - "does using this hash as a decryption key produce something that looks like ext4" is more expensive than "is this hash equal to the one I have on file", but not by that much. I don't see why a way to compute the hash more efficiently on some class of device would not be a concern for use as a KDF.
It's great once a week. Stay on nuts, beans and other sources of fat and protein for the rest of the time.

Obviously don't do sugars, but a piece of bread or pasta is just going to give you energy. Which you will use in your exercise. Do eat fruit and plenty of vegetables. They have different types of fiber which does different things to your intestines.

I have been lardon myself most of my life and now I am going thru a change. Took me years, took me meeting some very smart people whose only hobby besides technology/work is exercise. I have also met some crazy illuminati believing, LSD loving, psychedelic trance vegans who spend most of their day looking for healthy stuff. Met overweight vegetarians, some of who only ate fruit.

For some reason people think food is the only saint thing they are allowed to imbibe on. The disappointing truth is that you have to be starving a bit. That's it.

What was even more shocking was recent article about how fasting forces revival of your immune system. Or that yoga moves some of the muscles that normal exercise wouldn't move, hence removing more toxins from there. Or that meditation is one form of natural high and there is nothing esoteric about it.
It is unclear to me why a few people receiving a disproportionate amount of hate invalidates my "thick skin" proposal. I don't think 100x more hate would materially affect my experience beyond wasting a few more minutes of my time deleting it.

Could you explain why you think otherwise?
At my university most infrastructure in core labs is actually purchased by individual labs and then placed in a core with the understanding that the core will pay for the service contracts and run the machines in exchange for sharing. The major costs are personel and service contracts. Moreover, many cores are able to be self sufficient by charging users for services.

A similar system could be established here, or investigators could contract work out to 3rd party companies or even other university core labs which frequently allow unaffiliated investigators access, albeit at a higher price.
Indeed, the article does mention this later on.

Do you have an idea of who your dominant customer segment will be? That'll help you determine a more pinpoint entry point for pricing. Pricing is definitely tricky to work on though.

I recommend doing some split testing of the pricing for your plan and seeing which dollar amounts convert across all your versions.

With people like Kathy Sierra pushed off Twitter, Kevin Mitnick threatening the job of a woman who stood up for her... And the high-profile guy who previously attacked Kathy coming out as a Nazi... Such harassers should be dealt with aggressively. (Deleted ASAP would be great.)
Making food is a lot like making musical instruments, or writing elegant code for that matter. You can mass produce or machine generate it and it will be decent, but to get that nuance - that warm sound, that rich texture, that super edge case - you need human hands and human instinct behind the process.

Another example of how science and technology can sometimes be perfect to a fault. Turns out, deep down, we don't like perfect.

When you're in 2nd or 3rd grade, it's more important to learn the mechanics of subtraction than to understand why it works. Kids at that age need to fill their brains with facts so that they have the raw materials for developing understanding when the are more mature and more able to understand.

In this case, borrowing is more compact and efficient. That makes it faster and easier, both on paper and in your head. If you write out the borrowing method as verbosely as this counting-up method, it's almost as easy to understand. However, that's not important in elementary school and shouldn't be done. The counting-up method has the disadvantage that you can't write it more compactly.

Students who learn the counting-up method will be hobbled in algebra: they'll be wasting their limited brainpower on the mechanics of subtracting the hard way when they could be using an easier method and devoting more brainpower to learning the concepts of algebra.

Of course it's important to understand how subtraction works, but by the time you get to algebra, that should be easy. Anybody who is uncomfortable in their ignorance can either just think about it, or ask a teacher. It's not hard. Just note that 325 = 300 + 20 + 5. Then line everything up and go. That understanding isn't worth a lifetime of pain.
I think the idea is that the password (which can be made complex if you don't have to enter it that often) is analogous to the "passphrase for the key", while Touch ID serves as the normal "passcode to unlock the device".
As a former M&A guy and later a founder - It's not just that your interests aren't aligned in terms of financials or IP, your timelines aren't aligned and your desired outcomes aren't aligned.

There is ZERO hurry with a lot of BigCo acquisitions - there are layers and layers of board approvals, analysis, opportunity costs, competitor research, etc.

There may not be any actual interest in an acquisition of people or technology, but rather a curiosity about the space - e.g. "what are smart and hungry people in X space capable of actually building?" or "what does technology Y in the wild actually look like?"

It's all fun and games for the BigCo but can absolutely kill a startup with delays and 180 degree turns on the product roadmap.
I guess the benefit is that you only have to trust the issuer one time. Once the stock has been issued on the blockchain it cannot be manipulated. With a centralized system you'd have to trust the issuer/exchange on an ongoing basis. Whether this difference matters is kind of a philosophical litmus test that divides the blockchain and non-blockchain (i.e. Ripple/Stellar/OpenTransactions) camps.
The exchange would be based on the counterparty protocol, which allows anyone with a BTC address to issue and back assets in a decentralized manner. We'll have to see how this decentralization leaks into what it means to be a stock exchange.
Kronikl is a project we've been working on for the past year. It's deigned as a personal Facebook; a private experience where you can save and preserve the things that are important to you and build an archive of your storyline. You can share posts with friends from your Line, you can build a Line together with your friends or you can keep all of your content to yourself. Our video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_gTUVF1kNI. You can see the project at https://www.kronikl.me. Feel free to offer any feedback.
Kelly McGonigal, cited in the article, actually did a TED talk[0] on managing stress. I watched it last year during finals and found it gave me some extra techniques for dealing with stress. A good watch, to be certain.

Doesn't seem that way to me, either. She comes up in any discussion about women and programming (in a historical perspective). She even has a programming language named after her.

Ada Lovelace is the Marie Curie of computer science - the canonical example of a woman scientist that is brought up any time one is talking about women being ignored in CS, which makes the fact that she is so famous kind of ironic.
It's pretty surprising to me, too. It's not much like a smartphone which quadruples in performance and efficiency at higher resolutions, with a better camera while being thinner and lighter every two years. And I'd imagine that cars stay quite fashionable for at least a decade before a layman could recognize the car as being from a wholly different generation of cars cosmetically.

I mean if range (battery life) and repair requirements suddenly spiked down and up respectively, sure.

But from what I've heard, range stays pretty good, financially you're better off just replacing the battery than buying a new car every 2 years (ditching a $70k car at 50% value means you're paying about $1400 a month for your car on just depreciation costs!) and cars are much more reliable over time these days (with obvious exceptions recently).

A good explanation of this is the Job Demands Model of Burnout:

http://www.researchgate.net/publication/11920243_The_job_dem...

In summary, you will suffer from burnout if you have high job demands (i.e. high workload) and low resources (i.e. support from management, etc.)

Having suffered from severe burnout (and subsequent chronic fatigue syndrome), I can definitely say that boredom at work and lack of motivation in work is a large factor in triggering burnout. Emotional conflicts at home/work also contribute to burnout. In my case it was a combination of these factors that resulted in burnout/CFS.

In my own case the burnout was actually useful, as it prompted me to leave boring crappy contract jobs and concentrate on building my own business.
From a buyer's perspective though, a guaranteed 43% retention in value vs a gamble on 61% seems like a logical trade-off.

This is sort of the idea I've been waiting to come out of the bitcoin universe for some time now. A decentralized stock exchange seems like an obvious killer application for bitcoin. Though, the only thing I don't like about it is counterpart. Was never a fan of them, nor open transactions...

Why go to the SEC? I feel like the advantage of doing something like this would be the ability to build a trading exchange without any authority over looking it.. I'd say that's what's wrong with the current system (NYSE,NASDAQ,etc).

Great essay. Making is a movement in America, because it isn't a necessity. In China, repairing things instead of throwing them away is the norm. So there are large numbers of Makers in every town, who honed their skills in electronics repair.

When robots bring down the cost of new goods to the point where it no longer makes sense to repair things--because they are so cheap to replace--China will lose its Makers just as America did.

And then they'll have a Maker movement.

Same with every brand ever... Look at Apple, extremely strong second-hand market that retain value for years, coupled with an extremely strong tendency of customers wanting the 'latest one', whatever it is. It works really well.

It's not like a high fashion item that goes out of style once everyone has it. And Tesla sells very, very few cars, to be honest. It'd be a great benefit I think to see an order of magnitude more of them before they even come close to 'going out of style' because everyone has one. And frankly, when you've gotten there, you pretty much already won, anyway.

Well, "vindictive" doesn't mean "liar". Someone vindictive could nevertheless be honest to a fault; in fact, their honesty could stem from the same source as the vindictiveness against someone who had been dishonest.

It's a kind of guilt-by-association reasoning: if someone has X bad quality, they likely have Y bad quality also. The boy who stole the loaf of bread from the baker must be the one who assaulted the farmer's daughter.

We are dragging the shoe on our forward foot, but it's against the "grip tape" (made from crushed glass in a bed of adhesive). The force of friction from the shoe sliding forward against the grip tape is, in conjunction with the upward force from striking the tail of the board against the ground, sufficient to lift the board. Coordinating those two motions is the essence of an ollie.

Is there some tax-favorability to leasing cars?

http://www.businessinsider.com/tax-loophole-on-luxury-cars-2...
Not sure why you're comparing a lease residual to a Tesla buyback.

The lease residual is a price for the buyer to buy the car outright.

The Tesla resale guarantee is a price for the buyer to sell the car.

I wouldn't expect those % figures to be the same. I would expect the buy-to-own price to be higher than the sell-back price. Same concept as trading in an old car to the dealer for one price while the same dealer turns around and sells that used car to another buyer for a higher price.

Btw, when I turned in my car after a 36-month lease, the leasing company immediately offered to ignore the lease residual specified in the contract in an effort to entice me to buy the car. They immediately lowered the price because the leasing company didn't want the car back!

There is a downside to hacking-as-livelihood. Many workers are overworked. They hack for a living, but seldom have time to hack for fun. This is especially true among software developers. There are far fewer activities organized around programming than in the West. Occasionally there are weekend hackathons, but few professional programmers have the heart to participate. They are looking to spend time with family or enjoy a few hours outdoors on the rare weekends when they don't have to work.

Ollie is the hardest thing to learn in skateboarding. It took me and my friends a long time. I think it's hard to explain it, so it's hard to teach.

It's rather that the initial smack or pop of the tail against the floor makes the board fly upward, which you can reproduce by just by stamping on the tail of your board. That was my first insight.

You can do a standing Ollie with one foot: stamp it and as the board starts going up you shove your same foot to the right to stabilize it. After mastering that, a two-foot Ollie was just a matter of practice. Also, the longer you delay putting any downward force in the nose, the more air you get. I feel like I should make a video of a standing single foot Ollie, as two feet complicate demonstration, I think.

The moving forward of the foot isn't for adding more forward velocity, a standing Ollie can get really high and land in the same place. A moving Ollie relies on your existing velocity, which should be pretty high.

I've not skated for about 10 years, but I got a board recently to see if I still had it. Ollie'ing is like riding a bike, never forget how to do it. :)

I'm not saying all languages are equal. In fact, I have a pretty strong opinion when it comes to PHP (and the majority of core developers involved in it until Facebook decided to intervene).

I thought JS was ridiculous crap when I first encountered it in the nineties. Then again, I still thought XHTML 2.0 was a brilliant idea well into the noughties. It took me a journey through PHP, Java, ActionScript (both 2 and 3) and Python (with a short visit to CoffeeScript) to rediscover it and fully appreciate what modern JavaScript has become and what beauty lies therein.

I would love to hear a more detailed explanation of why you think JavaScript is unsalvageably bad, but so far all I hear are baseless assertions.

The "threshold" counter is a clever idea for optimizing a very specific situation, but it's extremely odd that there's no mention of std::bitset in this article. That won't give you an O(1) reset time, but it'll be a whole lot faster than a vector of bools.

Specifically, vector<bool>::clear() is not at all equivalent to bitset::reset()
