I think it takes an encounter or two with dangerous people to be reminded of that. My luck with real sociopaths and whack jobs has been poor over the past few years and it’s really put things into perspective. Not everyone abides by the mor

My Indian friends are the most racist people I know. It’s all they talk and think about. That was one of the most surprising things to me coming from the South (where I did occasionally come across racists but they were usually excluded soc

Most property crime is never solved because the police are stretched thin and they prioritize violent crime. San Jose is a very polarized city with wealthy, safe areas and some extremely sketchy unsafe areas where people get robbed at gunpo

Ta-Nehisi Coates is extremely racist.

I wonder if that’s possible. Being close minded and vitriolic about political issues is a general personality trait.

Same thing in Cupertino. There’s even a scandalous blog that someone updates to regularly attack various local politicians and school board members.

I love that you’ve been downvoted for expressing the “wrong” opinion. /s

Yep, I wouldn’t want these folks as neighbors. Pattern matching is common sense and the safety of your family/self and your property trumps strangers’ feelings.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to profile men, especially based on whatever signals they’re sending via dress/appearance, gait, etc. Cross the street! Safety is more important than a stranger’s feelings of acceptance and comfort. This i

Nonsense, if you’re an engaged resident it is somewhat your business. My family’s safety is more important than some rando’s feelings of acceptance and comfort.

Mike is a respected member of both HN and the Cocoa community. Are you implying that he's a shill?

Perhaps you don't care about social issues but there is a world of difference between the presumptive candidates' positions. Do you care about the fate of women and minorities?

In a similar vein, Andrew Sullivan's article on this year's US election is a fantastic read: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/04/america-tyranny...

> Whereas the Tesla quick charge stations, I believe you can leave your car unattended while it is charging. This is correct.

Interesting, on a trip from the Bay Area to Tahoe, it's about 15 minutes each. I stand corrected :-)

A typical stop duration at a supercharger is 15 minutes.

One major flaw with this article is the notion that supercharging takes 30 - 45 minutes. A typical stop duration at a supercharger is 15 minutes. The author also fails to mention the most appealing aspect of the car for the performance orie

> perhaps the electricity for charging comes from coal that is dirtier than gasoline engines Burning coal (especially when coupled with electric motors, which have efficiencies of 90%+) is more efficient than burning gasoline.

Designing for big-O performance is a good thing to do while writing code. Optimizations beyond that are typically an anti-pattern.

The reboot itself is not the N hours figure, that's the interval between reboots.

Correct: that's the primary "source" in Tesla's Auto Steering feature.

I wholly disagree with the use of that word as being offensive. That said, you should talk to the person in question if you are uncomfortable so they have a chance to "correct" their behavior when around you. That's the gener
