This is an incredibly unfair conclusion. Beyond the time it would make it to make the actual technical changes, he's right in saying that GDPR is written in a very ambiguous way that is going to open up the possibility of litigation th

It's about risk management. In this case they decided to take on the risk of account information leaking by not verifying the address instead of the risk to account conversions. The former shows more care toward their users and the lat

Fair point, updated with a link to the original audio from the webcast. Was just trying to give credit to where I found the source.

Sounds like they lost the center core (might just mean the signal its not clear), hell of a showing though the team should be really proud of the accomplishment. https://twitter.com/stevewdavens/status/960984330943

Ah you're right. If you go back a few seconds you can see its using different camera angles. I'm guessing they just accidentally switched both to the same booster for the landing shot.

The announcer addressed this, he said that he footage was not the same but looked similar because of the proximity of the boosters to each other. I think they were just extremely well choreographed. If you watched the side view from the lan

They showed the roadster, no news on the center core yet it seems.

The best approach is to make it the exception not the rule. This ultimately protects everyone and provides a nice paper trail in the event something does happen and needs to be audited. You can partially mitigate the bad actor problem by pu

Correct, "safe" was a poor choice of word. Alive and relatively unscathed according to the article is what I was going for. Thanks for the clarification.

As long as there is a human variable I severely doubt we will every get to a system that is 100%. The raw truth of it is to make a system that can do it close to 100% you need data. Tesla has chosen to put a semi-autonomous system into the

I am certainly not either, I just think people grabbed their pitchforks impulsively and painted him as a misogynist monster without hearing his side of the story. From the interview it sounds like the document was sparked from an internal d

As an additional perspective, here's an interview from James' perspective[1]. The interviewer is clearly fairly bias and holds the same viewpoint which is unfortunate but I think hearing James' perspective on the purpose of t

I think the lack of control is undesirable. I agree the feature itself can be very useful. The title of this post sounds way more sinister than it appears.

It's funny because the apps linked section below that works exactly like it should, the request goes over ajax and then the DOM is updated without a full page refresh. I wonder if the different UX was an oversight or intentional...

Dealing with time-zones and daylight savings time (which countries have it and which don't) can be a very challenge and messy problem that is really easy to get wrong. Heres a pretty good video from computerphile on the subject https:

Agreed which is why I will likely not subscribe. If people are willing to pay that price point then that's fine. $15 per episode for a variable schedule seemed pricey, if you dont care about the immediacy of it it basically turns int

Wouldn't it be great if after a few more successful launches and recoveries they just come out and say they've been re-using the rockets all along.

This. You can bicker all day long about the "correct" language to write something in but at the end of that long day of going back and forth nothing actually got written. Better to go with what you know and prototype then weigh th

Somewhat off topic but I hadn't heard of Instapaper before, have you used Pocket and if so what do you like better about Instapaper? Looks like they have a speed reading and kindle sync option which is pretty cool.

Depending on the mission it may not be possible to get back to the landing spot and sometimes the most efficient place to land is in the middle of the ocean. Musk answers that question here[1] in a tweet regarding the launch. You would have

Cases for that would be interesting. Seems like the only thing you could get away with is a rubber bumper frame case like the iPhone has. Definitely an interesting idea, but I personally don't see the appeal of an always on e-ink displ

I've also used dsh[1] to accomplish the same thing. Never tried to use username and password for this though so that actually may be more of a pain with dsh. Also tailing multiple files on the same host is pretty cool. [1] - http:&#x2

The <del> and <ins> elements are interesting. I fail to see how they are different from the <strike> and <u> elements that existed in HTML 4. To me the result looks like same[1], perhaps it more for semantic reasons?

My guess is ISIS has a public reputation they want to uphold which is an amplification of what they're actually doing. By planting the story they benefit from the extremist world view without having to actually commit the act that the
