I have seen so many industrial, public transport and now this citizen targeted fuel cell vehicle. If history teaches us anything (no not the Hindenburg) it's that these things run HOT AS HELL and needs a cooling system that is louder than an ICE.
Well to wheel efficiency is HORRIBLE on fuel cells. Clean energy to hydrolysis to hydrogen is around 50 KWh for 1 kg hydrogen. 1kg hydrogen ~= 35 KWh potential. That's 30% loss which is just there on par with an ICE. Then you actually have to recombine with O2 in a fuel cell. That peaks at about 60% efficiency (PEM) and at best 70% on others.
HTML5 introduces several useful features which were poorly implemented with shims in HTML. Example: Canvas element now allows for graphics without a plugin. New input types will _lessen_ the need for Javascript datepickers, field type validation. HTML allows for offline application and data so you can launch web applications offline.
All of this depends on browser support though. Input types are not universally implemented or even clearly specified as to their behavior in specifications. Canvas element glitter depends on Javascript for anything useful which then depends on the underlying speed of the Javascript VM / compiler.
So in short, it is all transitional until you can depend on 100% browser support. There are HTML5 polyfills out there, but they are not at 100%.
Finally Microsoft was given me a reason to install Windows on all my machines to support their glorious Visual Studio 2015. I will lock all my projects up in Team Foundations installed on Windows Server.
I use Visual Studio 2012 and TFS currently. I don't know what it is, but it seems to suck all the fun out of programming. Maybe it's just not dangerous enough. The compiler catches most everything and I can't seem to throw segfaults or hide memory leaks. I get my jollies every so often by developing for PHP in C where I am able to churn out leaky crap right along with everyone else.
ALT+(left Arrow) works on all browsers I know of. Why backspace is needed, I don't know. I split all my "readonly" inputs to disabled with a hidden counterpart to work around this stupid design. But, I love the extra work and duplication. It keeps me sharp.
If I could just get the environmentalists on board, Death Valley has over 500 million acre feet of storage capacity at below sea level. I foresee the creatures there would welcome the gradual filling of this expanse with sea water. We could even see the native pupfish blossom in this new ecosystem. Where is the army corpse of engineers when you need them?
Oh well... maybe they can reuse the land for those totally environmentally friendly solar panels. Wait, what do we do with those when they reach end of life? http://www.science20.com/scien...
Statistically apples and oranges when considering other cars. You have a class of person who has attained the wealth to buy a Tesla. I'm thinking that person may be a more responsible, less risk taking person than the burger flipping driver of that damned 1980's riced out Honda CRX that just cut me off.
Can't wait for someone to park too close so I can't get in or out. And being a tall guy, I LOVE twisting and gyrating to get out of cars without bumping my head. Ugh, we haven't learned from the 80's have we?
This is the biggest hurdle local and state governments need to overcome. If you have to spend marginally more to give better customer service, DO IT! In the long run, the process will be refined, run cheaper and better and more people will migrate to the service. It's all in the marketing, which they failed to do. I work in the elections business and voting by mail used to be a controversial subject. A little marketing, education and refinement and 5 years later over 30% of the voters in our jurisdiction use it. Electronic kiosk voting, well that's another matter. Given a publicly available, transparent, open sourced internet voting system, the right marketing and deployment strategy would make it a viable replacement for mail ballots. Given a network connected polling place, you would have a comprehensive solution to replace the broken electronic voting machine model.
Some one has to stick their foot in the turd and start the process. It must be open, it must be transparent and it must be free. The public has to own the voting technology, there is no other verifiable way.
I would have to agree with them. I can wait a few milliseconds more for an web page packet, but my Netflicks pausing to buffer is not OK. This isn't a net neutrailty argument, it's quality of service (QOS) scheduling. I'm of the belief that net neutrality is ISPs not actively throttling traffic based on the sender, receiver or protocol. If a packet gets delayed a millisecond, but the net throughput is the same, I;m not really going to notice.
I agree. Anything in public view is fair game for recording. However, LA PD will need to allow public inspections of its records if they use this defense. I would hate to see this get sealed and be a another non-discoverable database... But then again. those databases don't exist.
You can just wrap all the PHP types in classes and do: function DoSomething(String $str) { }
Then you can use the String class to wrap all php string consuming functions and do $str->substring(0,5). And that my friends is PHP.NET XD
You will need a spatial database (I prefer PostgreSQL + PostGIS), but you might want to try SQL Azure with their supreme Geography types. Then I would create a WFS (web feature server) on top of that from scratch using a compiled c++ CGI backend running on NGINX. Then I would create some JSON web services to handle the back and forth in PHP5 on a separate server running Apache2, because you need that multi-tiered scaleability eventually, so start now. Then I would hobble together a javascript mapping API to interact with the WFS and JSON web services. After I reach a performance impact from the CGI doing on-demand rendering, I would create a server process in Python to generate and cache tiles to a web tile server, then rework the JSON and WFS server to serve those up in addition to the overlay of the more dynamic layers. Then I would flush that all down the toilet and do what the other guy said.
No wait... it's a billion dollars now... wait, now it's $100,000.... whoops, now a quarter million. Oh good it finally stabilized at "It's all gone and I have no recourse".
So users expect an upgrade path from a 10 year old OS to the current version? I have a server running Gentoo that is 3 years without updates and I have no upgrade path. How many other operating systems will allow a direct upgrade to the latest branch without intermediates?
Oh yeah... fuck Windows 8. And while I'm at it... Unity too. I'm going to need more lube.

Damn, you beat me to it. The take away from this is... you still have a shit ton of (re)programming to do to take advantage of this technology.

And that is why RAID 0 wear leveling is useful in this case.

I trust them not to sell my data for marketing purposes : https://developers.google.com/...
I was only paid 2 million. Geez, I should have kept the redistribution rights.
With offshore made solar panels. They can now pay me for power.
No. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...
Wait, you had to assemble something? There was a goal?
Atari E.T. inspired violence. And now they are trying to dig it back up.
