Does anyone know if they are still working on the barge in San Francisco? Apparently they bought 4 barges, so they had big plans for this project (which doesn't seem smart without at least testing it out once first, also doesn't a

That's disappointing, I guess this is partially why they decided to keep them a secret, because there was a high chance of failure. I wonder what the reason for scrapping it was? Safety? Cost to air-condition, maintain, and insure? Loo

Does it significantly harm performance to put a thin screen (such as the one on windows to keep bugs out) over the fans? I still wouldn't feel safe with it hovering above me, they look like they could still cut off a finger fairly easi

I agree that this would be a nice feature if it wouldn't be too much trouble. I have a million HN bookmarks (and add a dozen more every day) and a "save" method would be very convenient. Many times I'll drag the "X

It might not be a strict requirement, but if Google suspects something is up it will do extra verification. Using some privacy settings and VPNs will get you more Captchas on Google services also.

Would just using another CDN be just as safe?

It's interesting that gmail is the least likely used for fraud, why is that? Can't anybody create multiple gmail accounts? VPN traffic would also be an interesting metric.

CloudFlare CDN: http://cdnjs.com/libraries/jquery I use to use the Google CDN but cdnjs.com has a huge amount of javascript libraries hosted on it and it is usually updated faster.

Around Liverpool and Birkenhead were the only places I looked, they're not perfect grids of course, I don't know hardly anything about European street layouts though, that might be considered very gridlike compared to other places

I think they use standard 18650 batteries (might be wrong) and there have been discussions from Tesla saying that the round batteries also have the benefit of allowing an air gap to insulate and help mitigate overheating problems. Plus they

I think Japan has something close to guaranteed job, their culture is somewhat different from American culture, it would be very interesting to study. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/17/business/global&#x2

Won't happen, I've been waiting for them to become like MySpace but it just hasn't happened. Facebook is the best at social media, there's no denying that. I would support them if they would have stayed small, simple, an

Same with me, I use Twitter login whenever possible, Google if no other option, Facebook login never or if absolutely forced to. Twitter has been great, they focused on doing one thing really well.

You're probably right, I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt, they have been trying very hard the past few years to recreate their image and implement privacy controls. I saw recently one person talking about when you dele

That's what I assumed but did a quick Google Maps search and it appears to be mostly a grid at first glance, unclear wording, "The UK's roads are quite a different test bed to many West coast US cities where there is no grid

I don't see why they wouldn't, they already sell their powertrains to other companies. It would probably depend on how much extra capacity they have. The Tesla vehicles are in high demand and only going to be in more demand when t

So are they working on a new battery design? The last time I did some research on the Tesla batteries it was just a ton of high-quality 18650s, is this still true?

Canary is just the name for their nightly release channel, it's been named that for several years. Most people should not use Canary because it's mainly for finding bugs before they get sent to the Dev channel. I don't really

This is a great idea for Facebook! They're in the perfect position to have widespread adoption quickly and the service would be invaluable. Privacy would be key though, they'd have to opensource it and prove to people that it&#x27

Ah, nice. Those have definitely been improved since the last time I made a site that used Facebook login. 2 years ago it use to be a data-miners paradise, you could grab almost all users data plus all data that their friends shared with onl

I guess it's official, Facebook isn't going anywhere and will continue to become more and more part of our lives. They're getting close to the level of Google (which I do trust with my data because they are transparent about

There would certainly be some upfront cost to making tractor-trailers autonomous but they would save an expensive employee per truck, the trucks would arrive faster and more reliably, and they would save in fuel costs (optimal driving). The

Are you saying that the UK has a grid pattern and wider streets? I had always heard that the UK had narrow streets in many places, but that's just from watching Top Gear. Here is a Google autonomous vehicle navigating Lombard Street in

Does Facebook actually delete user data when someone deletes their account? (after 30 days or whatever the recovery period is of course) I had always assumed it was a soft-delete and any data given was theirs forever.

That wouldn't really be ethical would it? It would do more harm than good, such as get a lot of people arrested, tortured, killed, and discovered as spies. Responsible disclosure is best, get it patched then release the details of the
