onmobiletemp··on Tesla to raise $1B
I apologize. There isnt really an excuse for the way i addressed your comment. As for the anger one sees among tesla fans, in my case its because tesla was a laughing stock for years before the model s and wide recognition. Fake reviews, hit peices, a death watch and not to mention the response from the average joe whenever tesla was brought up in conversation. Being called a loser by a presidential candidate despite achieving so much and surviving such massive challenges. People love to hate electric cars and especially tesla even now. They spread misinformarion about batteries being dirtier than gas or how emissions are moved and not eliminated. All of these things have made many tesla fans very bitter.

No, they arent
onmobiletemp··on Tesla to raise $1B
You dont know what youre talking about. They do make batteries. 2170s are rolling off the gig assembly line as we speak. They are already in their products. Please think before you speak.
onmobiletemp··on Startup workers see sexual harassment on 'breathtaking' scale in Silicon Valley
The movement to find justice for abused female engineers and workers would do well to separate themselves from ellen pao. She is a victim to noone.
onmobiletemp··on Nintendo Switch review: pure potential
Why dont they make a console with really good hardware, yet still affordable, and simply _make good original content for that console_? Look at breath of the wild. People arent excited for the switch, a _tablet_, they are excited for breath of the wild. Look at resident evil 7. Success in games is really simple: make a good game. Its not that hard. Look at battlefield one. But no, everyone decides to rely on gimicks and whats already popular.
onmobiletemp··on Encouraging individual sovereignty and a healthy commons
Im not sure what mark expects his user base to accomplish given that he believes they are "dumb fucks." I know people like mark so i know that he still thinks ordinary people are dumb fucks and that the only reason behind any action he takes is the advancement of his own position in life and business.
onmobiletemp··on UK Teen Hacked 150,000 Printers
They are the same though because most people have no idea there is even a difference. They are titally unaware. Would you or anyone else who knows anything honestly leave your laptop open and unattended?
onmobiletemp··on UK Teen Hacked 150,000 Printers
I go to a good college in california. Im currently in the dining hall and the peraon across the table from me was using his laptop. He just walked away, presumably to get more food, leaving his open and unlocked laptop completely unattended. This is why there are still printers connected to the internet and why it wont change for a long time.
onmobiletemp··on Mark Cuban on Why You Need to Study Artificial Intelligence
This is so dumb. You arent going to understand or get a job in machine learning unless you have at least a masters in the subject. Its extremely difficult and complex. I see tons of college students taking machine learning classes in anticipation of becoming a dinosaur amd none of them could get a machine learning job afterwards. Programming has always been pretty easy. The ai revolution wont be like the home computer revolution. Its going to be led by a relatively small group of academics, scientists and engineers working in prestigious research positions.
onmobiletemp··on Rust's 2017 Roadmap
This plan addresses everyones biggest complaints, especially the 1.0 crate issue. Its so nice to finally quiet all the people that try rust for a couple hours and then declare it useless.

Keep it up sergio!
onmobiletemp··on Rocket, Rust Web Framework, v0.2: Managed State and More
Im so tired of people who dont know rust complaining about rust. Learn rust and then complain. And yes it makes perfect sense ... if you know rust.
onmobiletemp··on Electric car – charged by the sun
This is a complete waste of time. Cells attached to the car will net you way less energy than they claim (well they claim distance, i dont know if their wh/km or wh from the panels is off, but one or both are). Panels on the car could help prevent charge loss while parked for long periods or in extreme cold but its less and less necessary as capacity steadily increases. The only reason this might be useful is if you want to be a nomad amd never use charging infrastructure. But youd get way more energy for way less money by carrying panels in the trunk of your car or converting a large rv to solar and carrying panels as well. As panels get cheaper we will see more cars with solar but it will be small and for air con and stopping charge loss, not range.
onmobiletemp··on Doomsday Prep for the Super-rich
Wow, what a well written article. Usually i immediatley close an article that uses the annoying "journalism as a narrative" method, in which the author spends pages and pages going through their own useless internal ruminations and observations before getting to actual reporting and analysis. But this author did it in a way that i found quite agreeable. Such great writing.

Anyway, these people are insane. Its hilarious to see some wealthy, liberal hedge fund manager consider with complete seriousness the prospect that donald trump will turn out to be a ruthless dictator. It is something that many liberal people are doing now -- comedically grave comparisons to hitler and concentration camps abound on the left. Werent these people around in 2008 when the right went through the exact same hysteria? Cant they look at the videos of right wingers furiously assering that obama was a muslim terrorist and see themselves?

onmobiletemp··on NHTSA’s full investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot shows 40% crash rate reduction
They said it was a 40 percent drop after the roll out of auto-pilot features. That means it dropped 40 percent with the same driver base. Please read the article before posting comments.
onmobiletemp··on Rust by Example
I learned rust while I was taking classes so this may be longer than usual, but I started compiling on the first try in about four months. It was my second language though. So if you have learned a language a few times and you aren't busy you could probably do it in a month. That's how long my professor said it took him. And I must say, once you learn rust, it's such a joy.

Thats interesring. What games did you work on? What kinds of bugs were you trying to find?
onmobiletemp··on Ebikes: I Sing the Ride Electric
The highest power to dollar ratio is got by building a bike. Pre-made bikes as very expensive right now as you point out. If you just want to try one out, go to a bike shop and test drive one. If you want one for yourself and you want it to be fast or go long then I would suggest building a battery pack with headway lithium iron phosphate cells, a lyen high power controller and a solid hub motor, maybe a crystalite. Endless sphere has endless documentation on how to do it. I don't know what your background is so there may be a learning curve, but I can say that you should learn that stuff if you want to get into ebikes anyway. Unless you want to wait 5 years for prices to fall.

I meant to type "outriders." Damn phone.
onmobiletemp··on Ask HN: What is the best Linux distro for a development laptop?
Right now the situation with macos and Windows 10 has spawned a bit of a migration. There is a growing trend of people buying pc hardware and running Linux on it. I think you will find that the most common choice of os among these people is Ubuntu. This is because it's designed with user friendliness in mind and has a lot of support for new users. It wouldn't be a bad choice.

I personally am using elementary right now. It seems to take advantage of the macos/win10 exodus by offering the next closest experience. It takes the principles of user friendliness from Ubuntu and takes it a step further. As others have said here, it sets up quickly, has an awesome terminal, has a great default text editor, and looks sublime. It's great. It has the occasional bug but I still find myself using it. I really believe that elementary is the closest thing that there is to a universla, open source os that makes computing accessible to _everyone_. I have been doing a lot of rust stuff in visual studio code and everything works very well.

There is an explosion in evoke sales right now. Almost every bike shop in California now carries them. The ones I've been to anyway. The Bosch motors are very popular.

Checkout electric recumbant bikes. I believe a company called outsiders makes exactly what you are talking about for disabled vets. Name might be wrong but they are out there
onmobiletemp··on Ebikes: I Sing the Ride Electric
I am an ebike freak. It's so nice to finally see some ebike enthusiasm on hn! If you have any questions about ebikes just ask me. If I can't answer I can at the very least put you on the right path. If you want to get into ebikes, check out the endless sphere forums. It's the defacto online headquarters for everything ebike. Doctor bass and live-for-physics-luke are two of the most formidable experts on there. Luke used to be in IT and now designs the battery systems for zero motorcycle. Great guy. If you don't understand why electric bikes or transportation is cool then Google "lightning electric motorcycle" and become converted. Cheers.
