Ultimately, you can only make the pension payments you can actually afford. Regardless of the standard of living of Greek pensioners, they can't make up money out of thin air to pay them. Something has to give. Usually, that means raising taxes on young workers. But in Greece's case, that's problematic for other reasons.
The electric car is actually fairly inconvenient if you don't have a garage or a parking spot that you rent / cannot install an outlet on.

The cycle time on vehicles is far higher than a cheap smartphone mainly due to their expense. And a large amount of the article's bullet points are not something that would be unique to an electric car.

When you take public transit, as long as the train/bus isn't loud, would you care to notice if it was electric or gas based? Or how fast it got you where you wanted to go with comfort?

Which two are you referring to? The first separatist movement of course was the demand for Pakistan prior to independence. Then there was the demand for Bangladesh in East Pakistan. Both of these were successful.

Within today's India, there was first Tamil separatism, then Sikh, Kashmir and then a few small eastern tribal groups. They have each waxed and waned over the years for different reasons. Ultimately it is the duty of the Indian state to preserve & strengthen the Union while ensuring that its value for each constituent outweighs any ethnic or religious separatist sentiments.

The US is unique in being formed basically from scratch, and growing from there, rather than as a merger of historical nation/states.

Q2 2015 Site Performance Report
The real story my be that car sales may decline, gas or electric:

* People drive less; I saw a study showing that significantly fewer millenials are licensed to drive than their predecessors.

* More people live in cities, where the cost of cars is higher (insurance and parking) and the demand for them is less due to the proximity of destinations and the availability of alternatives (public transport, taxis, ride-sharing, car sharing, bicycling)

* Energy costs likely will increase.

* As awareness of climate change grows, people will be less willing to cause greenhouse gas emissions (and the energy in your electric car battery must come from somplace, probably a fossil-fuel in a power plant).
I can't imagine what the iPhone has to do with an electric car. The post just refers to a software interface (which all cars now have), a network conncetion, and automatic updates. None of these relies on the powertrain of the car.
Ah, but see, the stop button, back and forward, scrolling down, etc. are how the web worked. And best practice has always been, "don't break the web". Now... people break things. We went from having a consistent UI experience in the browser to everyone just making stuff up. Not good.

Shell, Exxon, BP will pour massive lobby dollars to slow down the spread of electric cars. GM, Ford, Honda & Toyota (and the Dealer network) will get in on the lobbying action against electric cars when they see their current monopolies eroding.

Comparing the spread of the Smartphone (digital device by definition) to the Spread of the Car (physical) and then extrapolating a best case future is wishful thinking.

Given the regularity of previous large quakes, and the fact that the described magnitude 6 quake takes place over a month, it would take longer to relieve the pressure via month-long magnitude 6 quakes than we have until the next large quake. Best case scenario - you could put it off for a few dozen years.
Oh, I think I must have miscommunicated something. I was comparing Cable/TV companies to ISPs and TV networks to websites. I agree that Reddit is not comparable to a Cable/TV company. As in, end users are customers/clients of Cable/TV companies and ISPs because they pay them money, but they do not pay TV networks and websites. Further, advertisers are customers/clients of TV networks and websites but they are not clients of Cable/TV companies and ISPs (generally speaking).

The only significant claim I'm making is that social media users are not customers/clients unless they are giving money to the websites. Mostly it's advertisers giving the money.

Also, I know that the content of social media websites is both created and consumed by users, but nevertheless the social media companies operate those websites, store and process the content, and provide the content created by everyone to everyone. This doesn't make the users into customers however, because they still aren't giving money to website. An analogy would be a TV show where the creators just gave the show to the network for free, and then watched it at home. Or maybe, a news station that films people's real lives and then uses that to sell ads.

As for Hacker News, we are also not the customers. Maybe you could argue that investors are customers, since HN is a promotional vehicle for YC. But, that's kind of murky.

I don't think people full comprehend the price drop that is imminent. The total cost of ownership per mile for a car in the U.S. right now is about $0.60. I was watching a panel the other day where someone calculated the cost per mile of a fleet of self-driving on-demand electric cars at $0.08.

That an 86% reduction. People might have their misgivings about any of this stuff... electric, self-driving, carshare, and of course many people will go their own way. But for an 86% reduction in your monthly auto bill, it's going to be an avalanche.
Oh the data itself is interesting, but not particularly sell-able to others, in my opinion.

The alternative to this platform are little devices that monitor things like cellphones that walk into the room, and use this to approximate occupancy.
At no time did I suggest that people not drink. I suggested that the solution to drunk driving wrecks and deaths is that people not drink and drive. You've completely glossed over the relevant point, which is that people who have chosen to drink need to look for ways to get home that don't involve driving. A taxi service, like Uber, is one way to do that. There are many taxi services; any will do for this purpose.
Electric cars assume that you won't use charging stations at all during day-to-day driving.

Dude asks Hilary Duff out on video
> the answer is not more cuts to their payouts

Either Greece would start living within their means, or -- as the case is now -- other countries are giving money to Greece so Greece can e.g. pay pensions to their citizens.

But in the long run, they may run out of other countries willing to give them money, and then they must start living within their means.
I don't think this is accurate.. It was pretty common to pass the Lexus SUVs that Google was using for their autonomous platforms on the highway at speeds of 65+ MPH. I'm not sure if they're still around since my commute changed, but they were previously all over the Bay Area. I personally saw them on HWYs 101, 280, 880, and 92..
This seems really cool! I can think of a bunch of new things to do with this and a lot of places where I want to know how busy they are.

The one thing that really confuses me is the pricing structure. Why do you need to pay each month? Paying $300 for one year of usage seems pretty steep.

It's service pricing but it seems like one-time service/purchase.
Correct:

India is the first country in the world where McDonald's
does not offer any beef or pork items. McDonald's has
developed a menu especially for India with vegetarian
selections to suit the Indian palate, and has also re-
engineered its operations to address the special
requirements of vegetarians. Special care is taken to
ensure that all vegetable products are prepared
separately, using dedicated equipment and utensils.

I'd say that's more what cost functions are for, but that is neither here nor there.

I think the biggest takeaways are...

1) Machine learning in large software projects is complex because decisions made by one algorithm can influence the data of other algorithms, creating massive biasing.

2) Simple cross-validation / hold back methodology is limited as we expand what we want machine learning to be able to handle. Reason: big data is too big and "correctness" is difficult to evaluate for things like Q/A systems.
How often do you drive that distance? Sure, there are people that take road trips of 200+ miles often, and then it may be more convenient for them to refuel quickly. But the majority doesn't do that very often.

Great stuff, I've been using iTerm2 for a while and it's really good to see it evolve like this.

I use screen a lot (yes I know, I should switch to tmux one day!) and shell integration doesn't seem to work properly with sessions inside screen. Works perfectly if I ssh directly. Is it going to be supported eventually or is this the ultimate signal for me to switch to tmux?

European capitalism destroying old American traditions and cultures just sounds wrong to your ears when you are so used to the narrative of McDonald’s and Hollywood taking over the world.

In Germany I think I saw a dedicated drinking fountain only once. There are of course fountains, but most of the time there is a sign on them saying "Kein Trinkwasser" ("no drinking water"). We have exceptionally good tap water and I think only very few Germans fear to drink it. I notice it every time I brush my teeth in another country, it just tastes bad. So they got us with another trick: Germans are just used to sparkling water.

That is a valuable lock-in lesson: Add an unimportant but prominent usage-detail to your product as long as your customers need it so when an alternative comes along they are just used to it and too lazy to switch. Works best when your customers are children.
I'm no CLI wizard, so when I sit down to make my own function or alias I'm going to be googling how to do it whether it's for Bash or Fish.

What I meant in my comment above is a lot of 'download an install' instructions in tutorials, and sometimes installation wizards for programs are written for bash, and can't be run without modification in Fish. Not a major setback, but for a Bash user it would just work.
Hmm, look's like Vishay's VCNL3020 in there? Or the good ol' Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F.

Left wondering why you need a base controller and the dual-PIR's though, especially if the PIR's are connected to DC voltage anyway and not battery-powered like some other commentor said.

I get you would wanna use wifi to talk up to your cloud and maybe that's what the base is for. But seems like a waste if you got something expensive like a Raspberry Pi or other ARM A-series in there.
There are much cheaper wifi chipsets out there now these days that could do the same thing without needing all that cost and space of an ARM Cortex A-core, plus wifi, Linux, etc. You could probably get away with putting a small wifi chipset in each of the dual-PIR housings and still come out ahead in cost. The ESP8266 sounds perfect for it actually.

Either way, a pretty cool product.
Someone has to be working on battery swaps instead of charging, right? That seems like such an easy solution to what most people consider the biggest problem with electric.
Not at all. I've written/cleaned-up a few dozen Backbone apps. They work great when they're small and are generally a mess once they scale. An example: how do you use a datepicker component in your pure state->DOM system and guarantee setup/cleanup of DOM event listeners?

As for when you'd want to read from the DOM in a well architected app, the easy example is drag and drop. Unless your drop targets have fixed sizes or your needs are simple enough to purely get away with mouseenter/mouseleave events then you need to query the DOM for node sizes. Other situations I've run into are text breaking and rich text editing.
There are water fountains in every airport in Europe (and pretty much the world, it's regulatory) they are usually located in or near the restrooms.

Not to mention that pretty much every restaurant will give you tap water for free.
I think the article is overly optimistic and derives some sort of future prediction based on a simplified past performance of a totally different market. Tesla is a luxury , many of us can't afford it and if we could we would most likely opt for BMW or Benz.

The reason these other car makers aren't moving yet is they are learning from Tesla. You don't want to be a first mover in this industry, you want to move so slightly close to what everyone is doing but still differentiate yourself on brand. Cars today have vastly improved across the board regardless of make. To say gas stations will go out of business is ludicrous at best, Tesla will go out of business sooner as established car brands move in and hurt bottom line for Tesla. In the short while the euphoria towards Tesla will continue but it's headed for a not so pleasant ending. Great for humanity, bad for Musk.
The linked page explains how to install by hand. I'd like to eliminate the curl|bash. It's tricky to deploy a shell script in a terminal emulator, so it hasn't been done yet. The ability to fix bugs without making users upgrade their client has been invaluable during early beta.
Cool, thanks for the update :)
This is a great point.

It's like the people that open the restroom door with a paper towel. They must realize that the people who don't was their hands touch all the other doorknobs as well?

I'd guess the bathroom door is probably the cleanest knob you'd encounter (since lots of people wash their hands before leaving).
Mapping the roads isn't challenging. How do you think humans perform at driving through brand new cities?
Tesla is working on battery swaps. The problem with it so far is that you have to return to the location where you swapped your battery to retrieve your original battery later, or be hit with a hefty fine.

> All you care about is the water pipes inside the fountain, and those are just as clean as water pipes any where else.

I don't see why they would be, especially on the end close to the outlet. I mean, lots of water pipes don't have an open end, facing upward and at angle, exposed to the outdoor environment. Sure, water fountains have shields over the outlet to minimize environmental contaminants entering them, but the fact that they are in a position to need them is an issue.

Now, it may be that in normal use the additional contamination doesn't significant additional danger (I'd expect this to be true inversely with frequency of use, all else being equal), but I wouldn't think it would be "as clean as water pipes anywhere else".

- driving process within an engineering team
- thinking of the team as a whole

By default, it is disabled in tmux. It works fine in iTerm2's tmux integration mode, but not in plain old tmux. I'm hopeful that this feature will prove popular and useful enough that I can get tmux to add support for it. To make it work in tmux integration mode just remove the check that $TERM == "screen" in $HOME/.iterm2_shell_integration.$SHELL.
This reminds me of Motionloft. Their CEO was an idiot and ran into some legal trouble [1] which hurt the company, but it was backed by Mark Cuban and is still running afaik. I have thought since first learning about Motionloft that this could be a big business but I don't understand why both companies refuse to just sell the hardware. There have to be a ton of companies that would buy it but don't want their very sensitive data about customer counts etc. being transferred to a third party that could be hacked etc.

That other company of which there was an article here a few months ago drove a car autonomously from LA to NYC. Volvo drives cars around Stockholm. BMW has self driving cars on the road. There are self driving trucks right now at work on oil fields in Alaska and in mines in Australia.

It's true that we're not really there yet. And yes there are hurdles like regulation, what about heavy rain etc. But the pace at which things are going...
There is absolutely no excuse for a company—particularly one that has made commitments to free expression by being a founding member of the Global Network Initiative—to regulate speech beyond that which is required.

Your search results aren't speech. While I am opposed to almost all censorship, I can't get too worked up about this, because Microsoft understandably doesn't want to get prosecuted/ sued/ protested against in countries with much more conservative social norms. Of course, Bing is just a delivery service for information about what sort of things exist on the internet, but given the well-known human proclivity to 'blame the messenger' and Microsoft's global reach caution is understandable.
From a development standpoint there are a lot of things I prefer from the old Post Redirect Get workflow. The biggest thing I don't miss is modeling complex data in a form. SPAs let me sidestep this because it's JSON, which is much richer for modeling data than a plain form, going both ways. If form JSON (https://darobin.github.io/formic/specs/json/) was widespread I'd probably drop almost all my SPA usage immediately.
TFA is drawing a parallel between the way smartphones, as heralded by the iPhone, transformed the mobile phone market, and the way electric cars, as heralded by the Model S, will do to the car market.

Not on its own. You'd have to implement an endpoint on the FPGA to make it show up. (Same as most USB microcontrollers won't show up on the bus until there's appropriate code running on them.)

I see a very simple story: Among friends and family, I don't know anyone who would not get a Tesla, who doesn't already have one, once it reaches their price range. I also want to add that most folks I know are planning to make their cars last until such time as they can switch them out for a Tesla ( Model X preferably as a minivan replacement ).

Pretty much the same thing as a human-driven cab.

Worst case, all those things fail, and a dirty cab shows up, and you reject it on the hailing app with an explanation of why, leading to some delay till you get the next available cab. Its not like unexpected failures and delays don't happen with personally owned and operated owner-driven vehicles.
