Do you think Daily Deals are a fundamentally flawed concept? I tend to think there's nothing wrong with them other than an over-saturation of the market and a prevailing attitude that says all you need is a sufficiently large mailing list t

This is only accessed directly via library, so CSRF isn't a factor. Also, everything is happening over SSL.

True. It's not truely RESTful, just REST-ish. But if you wanted to wrap this in an HTTParty or RestClient library, that would still work.

There's actually this sort of thing in the car via the touchscreen. If you hold down on the "T" at the top center of the screen, it will prompt for an access PIN and behind there is all the diagnostics you could dream of. Unfortunately, tha

It's over 3G for now. There is wifi hardware in the car, but they haven't built out an interface for it yet. All Model S's come with 3 months of cell service and they will be offering data plans shortly. It's running on AT&T, so we shou

Docs are here: http://docs.timdorr.apiary.io/ This was discovered via the Android app in particular: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslamotor... I did some sniffing on the traffic, which is SSL encrypted, but luckily

Was the customer contacted when these actions were taken? That seems to be the biggest issue I see. A simple email would have rectified a lot of the confusion here.

I believe the one in Connecticut is in a highway rest stop with a McDonald's in it.

The front page has a working demo. I think that's way better than a screenshot, personally :)

The charger cable locks into the charging port while the car is locked, so no one is going to mess with it while you're gone.

If you're going < 300 miles, then it's really a moot point anyways. At that range, you'll have enough in the battery before leaving to get you there without a charge along the way.

More like a lunch time meal and dinner, considering I've got 17 hours of driving in front of me at that point. That's about 3 meals, so most of my stops will be for longer periods of time anyways.

Your math is all wrong because you assume you're some sort of anaerobic being that doesn't consume food or produce waste :) All those Supercharging stations are going to be located right next to places to eat. With about 4-5 hours between s

30 minutes for 150 miles of range from a near-empty battery. Approx 60 minutes for a full charge from empty. It does slow down as it gets closer to full, but the timeframe is measured in minutes instead of hours.

Once the Supercharger network is in place, I'll be driving my Model S up to my parent's house next Thanksgiving from Atlanta. That's 1000 miles, without any concerns about heating or AC usage. The reporter in this article both failed to cha

While I agree that there should be some more transparency with the install process, my problem with this is more practical: because I've installed via a non-standard means, how do I uninstall? How do other packages of software know I have m

But I know for at least gem and npm, while they support signing, they are not used in practice. And those two repositories are used by a large number of people browsing this site.

They're referring to the recovery partition. And while most of the time you're never going to need such a thing, when you're dealing with a device like the Surface it's going to come in very handy when you do.

Actually, not really. It's all HTML 5 video elements on the page, so this is all you need: .mirrored { transform: scaleX(-1); } And you can make a button to add/remove that class as needed. However, I do hope the implementations ar

Maybe it's just me, but all I see here is a giant wall of text and no clear idea as to what I'm doing here or what you're trying to sell me on. It's also devoid of pictures, so I can't even pick up on visual cues. You've given me the task o

I think this would benefit from following a git/github model. Draft could be the local tool that creates and manages the document, and there could be an associated web service that helps with the collaboration. At the very least, this could

Did you catch where was this payload injected? Did they have write access to the rubygems.org source? It would seem if they did, they didn't need to write this script at all and could simply read the configuration files directly.
