Who's gonna buy them? Dads that want to troll their kids. Honestly, it's a long game troll, but it'll be a good one. Subscribe, make sure you get and keep (organized, even) every non-nude issue, in a place that looks like you were trying to hide them, but where your son will be sure to discover them in his early teen years. Then, make sure he sees every single movie and TV reference to stealing dad's Playboys to see boobs.
The number of Teslas I saw parked in the main lot with the gassers would seem to indicate that Tesla owners, at least in the majority, seem to agree with me more than you. Out of a dozen or so spots, half were taken up by shorter-range EVs, all of which were charging, the one was taken up by the non-charging Tesla, and the remainder were empty. That is to say, there were as many Teslas in that lot as there were other EVs, but only one of them chose to (unnecessarily) take up a charging spot.
I'm not saying you're wrong, it always kills me a little bit inside when someone says someone else's opinion is wrong because opinions don't work that way, but clearly more Tesla owners share my view than yours. Actually, no, I will say your wrong about one thing:
That *is* the point.
Yes, of course, I have no idea what my own point was.
There were plenty of other charging spots available, but that is beside the point. The spots are intended for EVs that need a charge, not EVs driven by lazy fucks. A Tesla parked there but not plugged in is no different than me parking my gasser there, but the moral outrage at parking my gasser there is vlear, several people commenting on this story have already said shit like that will get my paint keyed. Where are the key marks for the Tesla needlessly takin the spot, then?
I'm guessing you're never met anyone claiming to be "politically correct" and "tolerant"? It amuses me, because the lack of tolerance for opposing views displayed by these people is anything but politically correct.
Count yourself lucky, ignorance truly is bliss. I envy you.
I think it's regional. When I lived in the midwest, I observed exactly what you say; foreigners seemed to be the more reasonable lot. Now that I've moved to the western US, it almost seems to be the reverse. I say almost because it seems to be rcent immigrants (with the exception of the most respectful japanese waiter I've seen outside of Japan; he deserved and got 40% by the way) and second-generation immigrants who do this, along with anyone associating with them (which includes the liited set you refer to as americans; IMO that should incude anyone living here legally). I know this i not just my observation after having lived in a predominantly-migrant community for a few years; I frequently heard my immigrant neighbors (neigh, friends) complain about how rude people were who were "fresh off the raft" or whose fathers had moved here.
I'm not quite sure what it is, honestly. I have friends of all races and backgrounds, but it seems fairly consistent that anyone born here, to an immigrant family, or who arrived here as an adult, just... you know, this whole line of conversation comes across as racist, but it's really not. I know the generalization I'm making doesn't apply in reality; most immigrants, I'm sure, do their best to integrate with our society, but the views I'm (poorly) expressing have been shaped by the complaints of friends who migrated here as children. That is to say, these are their complaints, moreso than mine, and I can only confirm that my obervations seem to align with those complaints. More to the point, the issue seems to be immigrant millenials and millenial children of immigrants; also, of course, their millenial american friends.
Come to think of it, its just millenials in general, let's keep nationality and race out of it. There are a handful that know how to be respectful but, for the most part, the parents of millenials seem to have failed miserably at their jobs. Whether or not it is viewed as a race issue seems to actually depend on the racial composition of a given community; if there are fewer immigrants, it is less likely that immigrants will be picked out as the problem. That is one thing I have to credit millenial parents with, they do seem to have raise children who accept anyone willing to be as disrespectful to everyone outside their group as they are, regardless of skin color or origin. Yay to the begin of the end of racism, I guess? It almost doesn't make sense, though; clearly, they're aware of the concept of respect, because the display ot toward each other. I guess, if they're acting as a group and exhibiting the same disrespectful behavior, it's okay?
At any rate, I've gone off topic by now and I'm sure someone will jump on me and call me racist without reading this whole post. Oh well.
Hahahahahahahahahaha you're truly and honestly a dumbass.
Are you implying that newer versions of Android aren't affected by the vulnerabilities you know of?
That's an honest question. An affirmative response means yes, you are implying that, a negative response means no, you are not implying that; noting more, nothing less.
So, have you stopped beating your wife and abusing small children yet?
This, on the other hand, is actually a strawman. An affirmative response means yes, you admit to having beaten your wife and abused small children, while a negative response mean you are still doing those things. It's an indirect way of getting someone to admit to something they don't realize they're admitting to, and my answer is that I never started doing those things, so your question is irrelevant. Mine, on the other hand, was an honest question. Is that what you are implying? I didn't say you were implying that, I didn't even imply you were implying that; either of those things would have been putting words in your mouth, but I did neither. What I did do was ask a direct question. No words put in your mouth and no strawmen. That you don't want to answer, however, is very telling; were it a strawman, you'd be able to come up with an answer similar to the one I gave, above, rather than skirting it altogether. Yes, or no?
The key admission which makes every single statement you have made up to this point defending Android as a platform a fraud.
First of all, you are taking that out of context to bolster your weak position and I don't think anyone with an IQ over 70 is falling for it. Second, why should I care about someone else's device? Does caring that they made a poor purchasing decision and won't be getting updates that fix these vulnerabilities suddenly and magically grant them updates or some form of protection from those vulnerabilities? No. So why waste the effort caring? I can (and do) show them the light, when I have the opportunity to do so, lead them to water so to speak, but I can't make them drink. Beyond that, what good is done by belittling them for being part of the problem? I'd rather simply be part of the solution and get on with it.
How unsurprising that in addition to your puerile name calling
Again, I'll ask, just where were you implying I had my head stuck and how proud would your mother be of that remark? Pot, meet kettle.
that you are also a liar
And is that not a name, which you are calling me from atop thine high horse? Point out one lie I have told. Don't limit to this conversation, go through all of my comments, everything you can find, and point out one lie. Not one piece of misinformation or a misquote or something else not purposely stated to deceive, but an actual, honest-to-God lie I told with the intent of deceiving or defrauding anyone. Do it. Go on, do it.
only interested in yourself.
Right, because of one out-of-context remark. Grow the fuck up.
If it inconveniences me in any way, it's a microaggression. Yes. I don't care that my actions inconvenience you, I can't be aggressive, I'm the one being attacked here.
I've actually had someone say almost exactly that when I asked them to move from in front of a doorway so I could enter. I said "excuse me", after waiting 10 seconds (more than reasonable) for them to move so that I and the people lining up behind me could enter, and they suggested somewhere for me to shove my microaggression and suggested I wait patiently while they take a few more selfies with their friends. So I asked them if expecting that they clear the doorway they are blocking so that the (now) group of people waiting for them to do so may enter was the microaggression in this situation, or if the aggression was their suggestion of what I do with my "excuse me". Then, the above was uttered, in all seriousness, with a straight face.
He was lucky I was standing there, the guy behind me looked like he was about to get... to coin a term... macroaggressive.
It's as relevant as calling a friendly "can I use the charger you're done with" email a "microaggression". The type of person who would consider such a request to be a form of aggression is the very same type of person who would consider it racist or sexist if a difference of race or gender were involved. You migh even go so far as to call that type of person a troll, though they tend to call themselves "politically correct".
Would I have worded it the way the AC you are pouncing on did? No. Is their point valid? Yes.
SMS when full "will begin discharging in 30 minutes", then discharge by an amount equal to the charge provided and leave them barely able to pull out of the spot if they don't move it in a reasonable time.
Charge Rage is when you find a Tesla parked at an EV spot, not plugged in as they've got 200km of range left
I don't even own an EV and had parked my gasser at the far end of the lot as I need all the excuse I can get to walk longer distances after sitting at a desk all day. I saw a Tesla parked in one of the EV charge spots at OAK the other day, just parked, not charging (these are the closest spots to the airport, by the way) and raged hard about it. Possibly irrationally hard, but fell short of property damage (as was suggested above). I then saw another Tesla that didn't need a charge; it was parked with the gassers. I pointed to it and said to my wife "now that guy gets it". Then I turned to look back at the non-charging Tesla in the charging spot to see that the owner had returned to his vehicle and, apparently, caught the tail end of my rant. He looked a bit embarrassed, which made my quasi-irrational rage feel a lot more justified.
I realized I added the number of runs incorrectly (I should have divided the length of wire by 500 instead of going through my post and adding numbers, which caused me to add things I shouldn't have). There would only be 282 parallel 4/0 runs, which could fit into 16 4" conduits, but you'd still need the 2" for the 2/0 runs.
They run relatively thin wires all over the parking lot, 12ga to run at most 5A at 480v, assuming the longest run is 500ft. When you're pushing 208v to a device pulling 40A, at that distance you need much thicker wire, 1ga. You can walk into Lowe's and buy stranded 10ga for $0.29/ft, while stranded 1ga sells for $2.19/ft, more than 7.5x as expensive. Of course, you wouldn't buy your wire by the foot from a home improvement store for this type of project, but the price variance will be similar buying from a bulk distributor.
On the other hand, if you shorten the distance to 250ft by moving the charging spots closer to the building, you can get by on 4ga, at only a hair under 3.5x the cost of 10ga, or put the spaces right by the building and get by on 6ga, coming in at (interestingly) about the same cost per foot. But also many fewer feet.
To give some perspective, let's look at a parking lot that runs 350ft out from the building, assuming the building is 100x100ft with power distributed from the middle of the back of the building. That gives you approximately 500ft to the farthest point in the lot where you might need a light. If lights are placed evenly in 4 rows, edge to edge, they will be placed 25ft apart across the lot; we'll assume similar spacing going down the lot, giving us 4 rows of (350/25) 14 lights. Since we're "green" enough to offer charging stations, we're also green enough to use LED lights weighing in at 150W that match 500W metal halide lamps in brightness, giving us a total of 2100W per row of lights. At 480v, that's 4.375A, requiring 12ga wire for a 500ft run. Pessimistically, we need 4000ft (the two middle rows will actually be about 50ft shorter, requiring 100ft less wire each, but let's ignore that and give your position a chance to hold up), which would cost $1160 to pick up from Lowe's by the foot. That's enough wire to power all 56 lights in the parking lot.
Now, let's install one charging station in the far corner of the lot. Just one. 40A at 208V and a distance of 500ft, we need to run 500ft of 1ga wire, for a total bill of $2190 if purchased per-foot at Lowe's. And you can't daisy-chain them like the lights in each row of lot lighting; you have to run an entire cable pair for each charging station.
If you're going to put, for example, 10 stations in each row of parking, you need conduit that can hold 20 runs of 1ga wire; since that conduit will also likely be shared by the lighting wiring, it needs to be oversized so, according to NEC, 3-1/2" conduit is required in order to safely run all of this wire. I wont' bother factoring in the cost of the conduit, as I'm sure I've already made my point. If we have 4 rows of parking, and 10 charging stations per row, we're talking about 40 charging stations. If we want to put them at the far end of the lot, we're talking about nearly 40k feet of 1ga wire at a cost of nearly $88k (again, at retail, by the foot, not how you'd actually buy it; we can ignore the dollar values, but the cost multiples will be similar), or over 75x the cost of wiring all of the lighting in the parking lot.
Now, let's install our 40 charging stations in the 40 spots closest to the store. If we assume 6ft wide spots, we can put 10 right on the building, 5 on each side of the entryway, and still have 40ft for the entry. Worst case for those 10 is a 150ft run. If the spots are 10ft deep and we have a 20ft traffic lane, the next farthest charger will be at 180ft; with 4 chargers per row and keeping the 6ft spot width, we'll need 7 full rows of chargers and 1 row with chargers in the 2 middle spots. Since the edge spots on the 7th row will be farther from the power distribution point than the middle spots in the 8th row, those are our farthest distance, worst case scenario, at a distance of 216ft. At that distance, we can use 4ga wire.
In fairness, since the 500ft example treated all installed charging stations as the worst case (2x500ft of 1ga), I'll do the same here. That's 2x216ft of 4ga by 40 chargers, or 17,280ft of 4ga at $
I could, or I could be compiling the list while on the phone with the tow company. Either way, having my infotainment system give me access to my vehicle's OBD-II data (and, running Android, I'd have access to Torque) would be useful; I wouldn't need another, externally-mounted device anymore. Honestly, I value the benefits Google could provide me from their device having access to that data (whether streamed to them or not) more than I worry about how they might use that data; if it ever comes out that they share the data with insurance providers or law enforcement I can always log in, delete my profile (there are no Google services that do not allow this, I see no reason why this would be any different) and disable the device. Until then (if ever), there's no reason not to use it.
Seriously, what are they going to do if they know you do 90 on the freeway or your NOx emissions are nearing inspection limits? I have an Android phone and use Google Maps; if they care to know I do 90 on the freeway, they already know; and the worst they could do with my OBD-II data is alert me that I'm not gonna pass smog inspection this year without some maintenance.
Unlike MD5, it is still impossible to get two different files that have the same standard SHA-1 checksum.
False. As long as there are potentially more bits in the input than there are in the output (read: the input can be longer than the resulting hash), any hashing algorithm will have collisions. It is the difficulty in generating these collisions that makes the algorithm strong or weak; and they are quite easy to generate for MD5.
Interestingly, if you produce a language specification which permits fewer valid inputs than the number of possible hash outputs, it is in principle possible that no collisions will occur.
Yes, and knowing each possible valid input would allow you to build a rainbow table to decode each hash back to its original value (and not just to a value that will give you the same hash).
Indeed it would be a good exercise for a beginning cryptanalyst to try and construct a language such that valid inputs were guaranteed to get different md5sum outputs.
Only because they would, shortly thereafter, learn that hashes are, in fact, meant to not be reversible. Guaranteeing a 1-to-1 mapping (e.g. no collisions) makes them reversible, negating the point of the hash.
I might also add that, while your children (why would you drag them into this? but you did, so I digress) may be well-behaved, that offers no indication that you are; this conversation actually hints to the contrary.

While true, the issue is one of ease of generating a (meaningful) input that matches the hash. That is, given a hash, one cannot instantly provide a plain text to generate it.
Why, yes, that's what my second sentence said.

Yes, of course, I have no idea what my own point was.
There were plenty of other charging spots available, but that is beside the point. The spots are intended for EVs that need a charge, not EVs driven by lazy fucks. A Tesla parked there but not plugged in is no different than me parking my gasser there, but the moral outrage at parking my gasser there is vlear, several people commenting on this story have already said shit like that will get my paint keyed.

I say almost because it seems to be rcent immigrants (with the exception of the most respectful japanese waiter I've seen outside of Japan; he deserved and got 40% by the way) and second-generation immigrants who do this, along with anyone associating with them (which includes the liited set you refer to as americans; IMO that should incude anyone living here legally).

And now she knows to park in front of her pump before paying.
I doubt there are many people with a daily commute long enough to make much dent in a Tesla's max range.
Then that free charging spot isn't important enough to fight over, is it? Yet here we are.
Worse, I saw a Tesla parked at the airport the other day, in a charging spot, not charging.

If we assume 6ft wide spots, we can put 10 right on the building, 5 on each side of the entryway, and still have 40ft for the entry. Worst case for those 10 is a 150ft run. If the spots are 10ft deep and we have a 20ft traffic lane, the next farthest charger will be at 180ft; with 4 chargers per row and keeping the 6ft spot width, we'll need 7 full rows of chargers and 1 row with chargers in the 2 middle spots. Since the edge spots on the 7th row will be farther from the power distribution point than the middle spots in the 8th row, those are our farthest distance, worst case scenario, at a distance of 216ft. At that distance, we can use 4ga wire.
In fairness, since the 500ft example treated all installed charging stations as the worst case (2x500ft of 1ga), I'll do the same here. That's 2x216ft of 4ga by 40 chargers, or 17,280ft of 4ga at $
They don't, do they? Perhaps someone with that sort of commute ought to look at gassers? Maybe a nice hybrid?
I could, or I could be compiling the list while on the phone with the tow company. Either way, having my infotainment system give me access to my vehicle's OBD-II data (and, running Android, I'd have access to Torque) would be useful; I wouldn't need another, externally-mounted device anymore. Honestly, I value the benefits Google could provide me from their device having access to that data (whether streamed to them or not) more than I worry about how they might use that data; if it ever comes out that they share the data with insurance providers or law enforcement I can always log in, delete my profile (there are no Google services that do not allow this, I see no reason why this would be any different) and disable the device. Until then (if ever), there's no reason not to use it.
Seriously, what are they going to do if they know you do 90 on the freeway or your NOx emissions are nearing inspection limits? I have an Android phone and use Google Maps; if they care to know I do 90 on the freeway, they already know; and the worst they could do with my OBD-II data is alert me that I'm not gonna pass smog inspection this year without some maintenance.
This bro knows his stuff.
Tim, thanks for elaborating on my point; you gave much more detail than I thought was necessary, but I may not have given enough.
Unlike MD5, it is still impossible to get two different files that have the same standard SHA-1 checksum.
False. As long as there are potentially more bits in the input than there are in the output (read: the input can be longer than the resulting hash), any hashing algorithm will have collisions. It is the difficulty in generating these collisions that makes the algorithm strong or weak; and they are quite easy to generate for MD5.
Interestingly, if you produce a language specification which permits fewer valid inputs than the number of possible hash outputs, it is in principle possible that no collisions will occur.
Yes, and knowing each possible valid input would allow you to build a rainbow table to decode each hash back to its original value (and not just to a value that will give you the same hash).
Indeed it would be a good exercise for a beginning cryptanalyst to try and construct a language such that valid inputs were guaranteed to get different md5sum outputs.
Only because they would, shortly thereafter, learn that hashes are, in fact, meant to not be reversible. Guaranteeing a 1-to-1 mapping (e.g. no collisions) makes them reversible, negating the point of the hash.
As as I.
Should read:

I might also add that, while your children (why would you drag them into this? but you did, so I digress) may be well-behaved, that offers no indication that you are; this conversation actually hints to the contrary.
