>The article is presenting allegations as facts

I only needed to read the domain name to know that would be the case.

These journalists, along with most people outside the tech industry, fail to see the overall picture. 4 out of 5 of the largest companies on earth are tech firms, and none of them were even close to that position 10 years ago. Software runs the world and tech companies are the single largest driver of the modern American economy, making the overall pool of companies that may go belly up at any given time larger. Public consciousness just hasn't caught up to that fact yet since it happened so fast.

The purpose of publishing a public MD5 sum of a software release from the developer is to prevent tampering with an image. If I download an ISO of Ubuntu and check the MD5 value, and it doesn't match what Canonical says it should, then it's been tampered with.

That's basically the Nvidia Shield

It means you just don't truly care about your work. There's nothing wrong with that though. Take a step back and evaluate what you'd truly wish to be doing with your life. When those things are aligned, endless motivation is the byproduct.

It's scary to think that in 20-30 years nearly the entire available housing stock will not be covered by rent control. My landlord wanted to raise my rent 40% in one year here in Oakland until I pointed out the laws. Eventually the entire middle class will just be landless peasants again, allowed to live wherever the rich say that they can.

>except in US and maybe some EU countries, the price to build a Skylake system is higher than the speed benefit it gives compared to Haswell (usually at most 10%, frequently less...).

Honestly, even in the US I don't think it's worth it. I thought about upgrading from my Haswell i5 and the benchmarks are actually lower on a single core. Unless you truly need the Hyperthreading there's no point in upgrading.

Except those keys could still easily be vulnerable to Heartbleed style overflow attacks. The only real answer here is hosting your own service behind your firewall the same way people do with Github.

It was honestly better in every single way than any vanilla WoW server ever was. Average online at any given time was >10,000 people.

the B stands for Berkeley, California

Self driving electric cars, virtual reality, now this. I think 2016 is the future you guys.

>What I want to also block are sites that serve up crappy "suggested" content from taboola

add this line to your host file:

0.0.0.0 taboola.com

>The proxy can pretend to allow all the ads, and simply drop them on the way to clients.

Look into setting up a Squid node for your home network and run adblock in the ACL rules.

Honestly those numbers are most likely almost entirely automated bots. G+ is popular with content mills to get their page ranking up. Think about it for a moment, do you know ANYONE at all that uses G+ for anything?

What exactly is wrong with TLS? Why the switch?

The safest vehicle (not just cars, any vehicle) ever tested by the IIHS, and the highest aggregated reviews of any car ever seem to agree with me.

Except it has a range of 75 miles with a 3.5 hour charge time, making it a completely useless waste of money for most people. The problem is that other car manufacturers are just sticking EV drive-trains into their existing cars, and hoping for the best. It's absurd.

""The Coolest Cooler in that video was a one-of a kind prototype," Grepper said. "Ultimately it's not a scalable design – it's an industrial design."

The proof-of-concept prototype cost him $15,000 to make, he said."

"[After Amazon approached us] we recognized that every Coolest cost more than each backer had given us for the manufacturing process,"

Incredible.

>If the orders don't come through

This is absurd. Do you seriously think that Tesla wont have every single Model 3 sold the moment it comes off the line? People were waiting in half mile long lines for days to pre order a CAR.

The Model S is already at 0.24 (most efficient car in production)

> Chinese aren't buying Teslas because they want clean air even if they should

Neither is anyone else. People buy Teslas because they are the best car money can buy.

Yes, everyone knows you should trust a site's own reviews for a product online.

How is this any more useful than my smartphone? I'm also extremely skeptical of voice controlled anything ever catching on. It's just too awkward, no matter how good the technology gets.

Agreed. Really the only legitimate point is the increased iteration time when working with a preprocessor vs straight CSS. But even that can easily be overcome by using an auto-reloader

> Don't write your own data store

I wish more people had this attitude. The amount of times I have seen people re-implementing something that PhD's have been perfecting since the 70's... it's cringe worthy.

I just drove past there last week. California is the most beautiful place on earth.

The Model S comes with a standard 60 kwH battery, which at an average rate of $0.20/kwH for electricity in the US, that's about $12.00 to fill it up for 250 miles range.

>But with near-zero interest rates, and lots of pre-orders, they can probably borrow heavily for plant at very low cost.

This is essentially the entire reason Tesla even exists. Nearly a decade of near zero interest rates have resulted in massive amounts of capital are available to be thrown at huge projects like this.

>related field. What exactly is a "related field" to programming though? I guess you could argue math and statistics, but even that's not really applicable to the average CRUD app developer.

Same here. I was scrubbing toilets for $8/hr two years ago, and now I work with PhD's and MBA's making six figures. God bless america.
