How many Model 3 orders have been fulfilled so far before Musk goes on yet another magical mystery tour of the next terribly exciting product he's dreamed up to drum up more investor cash and deposits?
Yeah, all those engineers working on vehicle design should get out of their offices and get down to the assembly lines.
Once you get away from the "big city", an EVs anemic range and lack of infastructure quickly becomes a likely show stopper.
Because there are no use cases for light trucks anywhere within 50 miles of a "big city" (where "big" is probably defined as 50k people)? You're absolutely right, there isn't any kind of construction work anywhere near population centers.
Bitcoin has "crashed" 30% SIX TIMES in 2017. Each "crash" has been followed by an increase of: 76%, 237%, 183%, 165%, 152%. Bitcoin takes 7 steps forward, 2 steps back. Every 2 steps back is heralded as the end of #bitcoin. Relax!
That sounds exactly like the behavior that I want from a currency.
I'm still not convinced that archives of Twitter are more likely to survive any period of time than archives of major publications like the New York Times or Washington Post.
Yes, it sucks but that is a whole hell of a better than an unelected commission in a federal bureaucracy deciding on a whim how something as pivotal as the internet be regulated.
They can't decide "on a whim". There is a defined procedure for creating or changing regulations; the EPA was smacked by a court earlier this year for trying to delay a regulation without following the procedure defined by Congress.
And in theory, the point of having the regulations written by the FCC instead of Congress is that the FCC is run by people with some amount of experience and expertise in the field. Having Congress pass legislation to try to define and enforce Network Neutrality would mean the bill was written either by whoever spends the most money on bribin- sorry, "lobbying"- members of Congress, or by people with as much understanding of the topic as Ted "It Took All Weekend for My Staffer to Send Me an Internet" Stevens.
This is the part that I don't know if I should agree with. Executive agencies have a defined procedure for changing regulations, and Congress can repeal any law it wants whenever it wants.
I don't disagree with most of what you're saying (though the last time I needed a copy of my birth certificate, I didn't need to show up in person; I have no idea if it's required in any of the 49 other states). A couple of people that I know who were born in Europe don't understand the problem with requiring ID to vote, because getting an ID in those countries is easy and necessary for every resident. It can be difficult to get them to understand that in some parts of the U.S., a person has to take an entire day off from work and travel 50 miles to get an ID. I even had trouble explaining why North Carolina's law was overturned, when there were emails explicitly discussing how to limit the acceptable forms of ID to those that were more likely to be used by minority residents.
Requiring ID for things, even for voting, would be far more reasonable if it cost no money and took a total of 30-60 minutes between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM on a weekday or between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM on a weekend.
All this means is that, in 5000 years, historians will get a dangerously stilted view of what was posted on twitter - if Trumps tweets are archived, but not the tweets that debunks his claims, then his claims will stand unopposed for future historians to debate about.
Are you saying that Twitter is the only place where people debunk false claims made by politicians?
And nothing about the accident had anything to do with normal operation.
Oh, then I guess everything is alright and nothing actually happened, then ?
Wasn't the meltdown at Chernobyl caused by the people in charge of the plant doing just about everything they could to intentionally cause a meltdown, including disabling all of the safety controls?
or to TMI
Did any radiation or radioactive material get outside the plant?
Is everyone included in some credit union's geographic "field of membership"?
"Everyone", most likely no. Most major cities, I would imagine, though. My nearest major city has a credit union that any resident or employee in the county can join.
And for those new to banking, how much does it cost to obtain the ID required by "know your customer" regulations?
Does it require any more than an employer needs when you're hired? If those are things that aren't readily available to all residents, then that's a more fundamental issue that needs to be solved.
McConnell recommended. Obama appointed. The Senate approved. Trump promoted.
Obama did choose Pai to serve on the FCC at the recommendation from McConnell that Obama could have ignored. Obama had all the discretion in the world to pick any other Republican but he chose Pai.
Would appointing any other Republican have changed the outcome in any way?
There is a valid point in saying that Pai is being personally blamed too much. Two other Republican commissioners also voted for the change. Pai is just a lying face of his party.
So has anyone ever posted a legitimate "violation" of net neutrality or are these whines simply "muh internetz are t3h slowz!" which is the new definition of net neutrality being "violated".
The poor still don't have free cards. They either have to pay for a credit card, usually via super high interest rates
I can't remember offhand if it was made illegal to charge interest until after the next bill's due date. I know my credit cards have been that way for something like 15 years.
or have to pay for a bank account.
As far as I know, most credit unions don't charge any fees for regular savings and checking accounts, and the minimum balance is usually somewhere in the $5-25 range.
PostgreSQL and MySQL both have MD5 and SHA1 functions built-in, and I would assume MSSQL and Oracle do too. As I said above, I don't know what they have for newer hashing functions, but there's certainly no technical reason that they can't have all of the same hashing functions that any other cryptography library has.
MySQL and Postgres, but I would assume MSSQL and Oracle have the same functions. The condition is just something like "WHERE username = 'username' and password = SHA1(salt + 'password')" (obviously with bound parameters and stuff).
That's definitely a good thing to consider. If the web server and database and are on the same machine, or at least the same local network, it shouldn't be a problem. If they aren't on the same local network, and you can't be sure of the security between the servers, then it's probably better not to send passwords in plain text.
As I said above, the last time I did a user authentication system for a web site, salting and hashing was done by the database in the query. Salting was just string manipulation, and the database had a built-in function to do the hashing. There's no reason that databases can't have those as built-in functions, and, in my personal opinion, no reason they shouldn't.
Even if that were true, this administration is making price comparison far more difficult by removing regulations that require accurate price quotes (including taxes, fees, etc.).
I don't see anything wrong with that. I mean, it's not like having informed consumers was ever a basic axiom of a free-market economy.
You can check a salted password just fine in a single database query; I know, I've done it before. As mentioned below, the issue is whether or not the database has a built-in function for the newer hashing algorithms.
Thanks. It's been a while since I've implemented a user authentication system (i.e. we transitioned from MD5 to SHA1), so I'm used to database systems having those as built-in functions. I'm surprised that non-toy databases like Postgres, MSSQL, and Oracle, haven't added the newer hashing functions.
As a general rule, yes, I agree completely. Operating systems are a slightly different case, though, especially with package-based systems like most Linux distributions. Individual packages have major/minor/patch version numbers, but the version number for Ubuntu as a whole system doesn't really contain that kind of information.

It doesn't matter if it's improving or not. That's irrelevant. Today, it's sorely lacking.
Yeah, who gives a shit about the future? It sucks today, so we should just stop trying to improve it.

If only there were some way to find out...
Replace the battery in the old iWatch
Is that possible?
and it will run circles around the Rolex as long as it's functional.
What functionality will it have left when the protocol for communication with the phone changes in a few years?

If you're on the running system, the easiest way is with lsb_release -a in a terminal. You can also look in the repository lists in /etc/apt/.
