According to the following op-ed written by an almond farmer, they're paying $1000 per acre-foot for their discount water. That works out to three gallons for a penny. And that's 40x what they were paying quite recently.

To put that in perspective, if you were paying $1000 per acre-foot for the water in your home, you could flush your toilet 42 times a day for a month and your bill would come to less than $5. Remember that the next time someone tells you to let it mellow.

Absolutely an achievement of marketing worthy of the best marketeers in history. But the article is wrong on it's face when it states "the Battery Tech they Developed While Building EVs" because Tesla has not developed any battery technology of any kind, ever.
Last I recalled, California has some of the highest taxes in the U.S and has the highest Gross State product. So, where's the money going? I guess everyone is so busy working their faces off that they don't have time to ask such important questions. O'well, no Desalinization plants for you.

I think this issues can get a hellavuh lot worse than it is right now before any serious action is taken. When I start seeing billion dollar steps being made to address the issue, that's when I'll consider that they take it seriously.
Getting into JavaScript there's grunt. I know it's not really comparable to make as it doesn't check dependencies but ... it really seems like it would be cool for a "new" build system that took plugins the way grunt does. Maybe they'd wouldn't fit most people's use cases enough?

It is. JB Straubel (Tesla's CTO) has done all of the hard work with regards to their energy management system.

Sure, babying the pack with a liquid medium for thermal transfer helps (compared to the inferior air cooling on the Nissan Leaf battery pack), but the foundation for both the performance and longevity of the Roadster and the Model S battery packs is Straubel's remarkable work.

Good question. The first of the odd primes up to 7 occur as the most frequent factors, other than 2. So 3,5,7 are most often reoccurring. Because of the patterns they illustrate especially when modulating the columns it seemed to make sense.

"essentially writing what `innerText` was supposed to be"

For your use case. Making, as you mentioned, a huge number of edge case decisions. So if innerText was standardized to your use case what would it be good for other than your specific project?

Pulling large chunks of plain text as a string to process for any low latency tasks constrains the size of text you can reasonably work with. JS strings are immutable as well, that's a lot of copying. So you can't be grabbing the whole document at once with innerText, but you still want it to handle line breaks. So innerText is useful for a text editor where the chunks are more than one line long but still fairly short.

Another issue is this whole handling of converting lists and tables to some kind of plain text markup. Is that a two translation? Are tabs going to turn into table elements if I have them in a string and set innerText? That seems pretty crazy, but not doing so would just make it very weirdly asymmetrical.

I liked the article, lot's of good info and stuff I didn't know. But I did come away thinking "Thank you Mozilla, at least someone is pushing for sanity". How much horribly slower do you want the DOM to be?

I never quite got what "it takes x gallons" actually means. Where does the water go? Does it get sucked up by the plant somehow? Does the plant split the water into oxygen/hydrogen and those get bound to some other atom? Does it just disappear into the ground and end up as groundwater? Does it just evaporate and rain down somewhere else? Does it end up going to a river and ending up in the ocean as saltwater?

Ask HN: Gap year plans for a future college student?
I'm a high school student in the Greater Boston area, and I was recently admitted to Columbia and Brown University, one of which I was planning to attend next year as a CS student.

As I've started planning for my future year, I've also sensed that a lot of the excitement I had for academia has slowly begun to drain, especially because of the stressful nature of the college admissions process. I've begun to toss around the idea of taking a gap year, something to provide a change of pace so when I do go to college I can appreciate my 4 years there even more. Possibilities have included traveling to different cities around the world and doing part-time work, or trying to find a full-time CS job in Cambridge.

A few questions:

1. What do you think would be the most awesome (but cheap, ideally I would like to break even) experience would be to spend my year on?

2. What kinds of resources are there for finding work (local/remote) opportunities for a HS graduate with a good deal of CS experience and several side-projects?

3. If I'm traveling, how could I prevent becoming too isolated and alone/meet and hangout with like-minded people (I don't know anybody adventurous enough to join me)?

Also, curious to hear any opinions on Brown/Columbia as I'm also faced with that difficult decision.
There's a difference between a) flushing water down the toilet and b) pouring it back into the ground.

edit - clarify;
Edit2 - add the following

I shouldn't have been so short or flippant. There is a difference between using water in a way that renders it basically unusable without cleaning/purifying it through energy intensive processes or massive dilution (dumping into the ocean which is still unusable without desalinization) and using water in a way that allows it to naturally return to the system through evaporation.

We talk about agricultural use of water as if that creates some sort of excuse to be wasteful. Will not running the water while brushing your teeth or shaving solve the drought? No. Is it completely wasteful and unnecessary? Yes.

I completely agree that ridiculously minor "feel good" measures like only getting a glass of water on request at restaurants will do little to nothing to show love any actual problem. I think it also hurts finding an actual solution because we feel like we're sacrificing so we've dibe our share. Sort of like driving a Prius.

Solving the water shortage problem is going to take a lot more than low-flow shower heads. But it's also going to require a lot more than eating fewer almonds. And the fact that agriculture is a big consumer of water isn't a reason or an excuse to be wasteful.

If you really want to contribute towards a healthier more sustainable planet, skip that burger and have a salad with some California avocados and sliced almonds on top.

What victim? What extortion? What are you talking about? You are just simply hating a process you hadn't even tried just for the sake of hating it.

Even before the existence of gTLDs there were stupid legal cases because companies like Apple felt entitled over a domain like a.pl[1]

If you own <trademark>, you are not entitled to own every <trademark>.<tld> combination unless <trademark>.<tld> is related to your business, taking the example from apple, you (Apple) may be entitled to own apple.computer and apple.inc, but not apple.groceries

The ICANN guarantees (if you register your trademark) that only you (Apple) will be able to register apple.computer, apple.inc, and every other apple.<tld> closely related to your trademark, but if you don't want to register those domains, nobody else will be able to register them. Where is the extortion in that?

Your arguments about extortions and supporting oligarchies are simply ideological fallacies. Selling domains is a business, and people with enough funds will profit from them whenever you like it or not.

Ask HN: How did you succeed to find a cofounder on websites like CofoundersLab?
I just signed up a few days ago and am trying to find someone who might be interested in starting his own business as a tech cofounder. But I find it's hard to find potential people because most of them have a job right now and they're waiting for an excellent chance. An excellent chance means few risks like no relocating, starting from part time, the right product, etc.

So I'm curious about your experience on the website and how you succeeded to find a cofounder there.

*I know founders should always prefer their friends and classmates. But I'm still curious who tried it and succeeded.

Some of the comments made there are pretty interesting, specifically that it's not about the use of water its about the waste.

-Ground water can be at least partially recouped through wells. This would be a really interesting number to look up.

-Sewage water is wasted as it is dumped into the sea.

Anything else? Where does water leave the cycle?

We're thrilled to see a new DNS performance monitoring tool in the public domain. It takes courage to release things like this to the world and open them up for critique, I applaud jimaek, the author, for doing just that.

As many have noted, the results are highly varied from many of the other reports we see today but more locations and tests are going to continue to improve accuracy.

The testing is synthetic, that is, it's run from within datacenters. I'd encourage anyone who can help provide/sponsor a VPS or resources to also do so. Providing consistent benchmarks against Authoritive Queries from know locations is great but the test network itself needs to expand to get truly meaningful comparisons between providers.

I'd hope to see real-user data also get added in the future, that is, testing on the end of home cable/broadband connections, these tests perform differently to synthetic tests but represent end-user experience more accurately.

It would also be great to see raw lookup performance between providers, exclusive of network latency.

For those interested in diving deeper into DNS performance, I'd also recommend reviewing Cloud Harmony's reports, the latest of which can be found here: https://cloudharmony.com/reports/state-of-the-cloud-dns-0315...

No, GP actually has a point. Once you do things like this, you're out. Once you're out, you become a nobody.

Of course, you can reapply to get in (haha, good luck getting a response from Mozilla before a couple of years) but you have to start from scratch all over again. This puts a tangible cost to shenanigans. I highly doubt Verisign would be caught making the mistake these guys did.
I think it's possible for the CA to delegate the authority to a specific subset of domains. But in this case MCS holdings apparently was given a certificate allowing them control over everything.
Chrome OS has been able to run native apps via NACL for a while. This just makes porting automagic for a certain category of apps (Android).

It remains to be seen if more Chrome OS devices will come with touch screens or if app developers will modify their apps to work well without them.
> It's interesting to note that certificates signed by a locally installed CA (e.g. an org's MitM proxy CA) will be considered acceptable. If MCS had just made their own private root CA and deployed it to their machines there wouldn't have been an issue.

I believe this is how Microsoft Family Safety works, as far as I know.
Exactly. I think they had to re-imagine how the big companies doing car production and it resulted in the innovations you are talking about. The reaction Tesla triggered in the car industry in US is rather laughable, screaming for legislation to limit the impact of Tesla on their sales. There are promising changes though, it is good to see that some companies go this far: http://money.cnn.com/2013/03/27/autos/mercedes-tesla-b-class...

If Tesla is going to be a battery company, be it, but I think they have a bright future for most of their business (including selling electric cars).
Why legendary Disney animator Glen Keane is making art for Google
So, essentially they're targeting the least significant portion of water usage because they can do so more easily and they don't really consider this drought to be a big problem... Tax revenue from Agriculture means more. In the mean time, as the state heads towards a brick wall, they'll engage in silly water restrictions so it seems like they did something. Sounds about right for California. When something happens, use it as a reason to raise costs and taxes and do everything in your power to not solve the real issues.

Sales tax is up again too right? California really knows how to show its residents love. Tax revenue from almonds is 30x more important than the general comfort of its residents is what I gather. That's just nuts..lol
It's an interesting topic.

>But unless I'm mistaken I think you're implying that by removing beef production, you'd have to substitute it with additional vegetable or grain production.

There are a lot of non-simple factors involved for example dairy and meat account for a majority of most people's protein intake, this would mean substitution for increased protein nutrition from plants (limited mostly to soybeans).

>Where I think the pro-vegetarian argument would actually be that by decreasing meat production, you actually recover more vegetable/grain farm capacity since it's much more efficient for people to eat their veggies directly.

This statement is mostly true for using vegetable/grain production land whose produce is used for cattle feed-lots right? What about cattle that get the larger % of their food from grazing?

Also there is a significant difference between human quality/desired food and animal feed. For example a lot more corn is used in animal feed than in human consumption - this is especially effective because maize is a c4 plant and until genetics gets there will continue to completely dominate other cultivatable plants in terms of yield.

p.s. I'm not saying that meat production in the US is ecologically friendly - it definitely is not - feedlot greenhouse gas production is almost entirely unregulated, they cause massive damage to local watersheds etc - but it's possible to do terrible damage to the environment with vegetable growth as well; I'm just arguing for a more or less objective view of the situation (and I don't think meat is evil is the correct answer).
> We also need some way to restrict what certificates "less trustworthy" CAs can sign. Even if CNNIC is one day reinstated, I wouldn't want them to sign any certificate for any domain that doesn't end with .cn. Ditto for various other government-sponsored CAs, which my browser also seems to trust for whatever reason. Even if TLS as we know it has no mechanism to enforce such restrictions, nothing stops browsers from doing it on their own.

Aren't you asking for "name constraints" to be enforced? If they could do this, they could fix the whole CA fiasco, but actually delegating domains rather than have a system where Root CAs are trusted for all domains.
Neither run Java bytecode. They happen to have Java semantics. But they are one (Dalvik) or two (ART) steps removed. Once your Android toolchain has produced Java bytecode, it is translated to Dalvik bytecode before being packaged. Then it might, or might not (pre-ART systems), get translated to native code before being run. And, depending again on version, might get JIT compiled, or not.

Once can take advantage of this in interesting ways. If you are Myriad and you have a Java(tm) runtime for mobile devices, you can skip (or reverse) the Dalvik bytecode translation and run Android apps in your runtime. At which point Oracle sues your ass, and the settlement is confidential. You can see this approach at work in the Jolla handset.
Tokyo is a public-transport-centered city and has an interesting structure. The land value depends directly on the distance to the metro or train station and the importance of the line. The train station is the center of a self-contained community and most of the services like shops, restaurants, supermarkets, etc use to be next to the station. Also, the buildings tend to be taller the closer they are from the station. I find it a quite convenient way to organize a city.
I'm guessing that means you're stuck with western languages only? Languages requiring an IME for input are hard to do in canvas. Also copy to clipboard?
How do you propose we clean the slate?
Because sometimes you must use spaces, because you are indenting a continuation line that should be indented to an exact spot with respect to the previous line (you're in the middle of an expression, you want to be at the start of an open parenthesis, etc).

Surely the suggestion in that case is not to carefully insert tab characters to the same indentation of the previous line, and then spaces for the rest, so that you have some tabs and some spaces on the continued line? Anything else fails if the tabs are set as "developer preference" on display, but that tabs + spaces on one line is incredibly fiddly.
