I might be missing a step here... but how does that lead to a new XSS attack?

The article doesn't seem to indicate that though? It only mentions the brains response to sugary and diet drinks. Any inferred response in how the body performs alongside food seems to be at best a guess (at least from the article itself and not from the paper).

The article seems to be poorly written. It just appears to say diet sodas do not trigger normal caloric intake responses in the brain but really why would they? The drinks themselves have 0 calories, there is nothing to metabolize.

All of that work and my back button is still broken. It also looks like I can slide a script tag into my comment and have it run.

It all started with the simple question of, "I wonder if there is any spam protection?".

That was not the point of that at all, I just doubt that will be able to meet their expected output and deliver a car that isn't plagued with issues (employees can't/won't complain but your standard customer would).

I was probably in the last quarter or so reservations before the event which left me at a mid-2018 release date. After the event I think it was moved to a late 2018 release date, so right on track for the most part. That of course, is if they can actually produce at their estimated rate.

The day after that event is when I cancelled. All of the first 30 cars went to employees, none have actually been released to 'customers'. I wouldn't attribute it to the event alone though!

Sure Tesla is in a 'war' against the existing auto-industry but I wouldn't say it is one that they won yet. From a canceled-reservation holder, I'm not quite sure if they will.

They did a pseudo-release to employees only, as the article mentioned, that never even gave the final specs out to customers with existing orders. Not a single order has been delivered to a real customer nor have they even accepted orders yet. Sure reservations can continue to climb but we're still waiting around for an actual delivered car. If you are adding more orders in a week than you expect to produce in a week at the end of next year, those reservations are pointless.

Reading through Tesla forums, you'll quickly find out that Tesla has a service problem. A lack of centers, parts and awfully slow turnaround times. It doesn't appear that they really figured this one out yet. Sure they may be doubling stores, but they will be more than doubling cars in that same period. How will they manage all their new cars, with new customers who aren't as welcoming as the early S/X owners?

I feel like I just sound like one of the doubters mentioned in the article now, just slightly longer term. Oh well, I guess we'll see if Tesla can actually manage it soon.

I'm curious, how much do you actually get out of each book? Even at my pace of 1-2 a month I'm barely able to retain anything. I can't imagine reading ~8 a month and being able to remember what the book was actually about.

So if I read this right, I am supposed to trust a contract that sits on top of a mutable 'OS' that is managed by the community? I feel like all of these contract-as-code groups really need to have a lawyer on their team as well; for some reason, it seems like developers believe they understand the purpose of financial/other contracts and how they're actually used.

Would you sign a contract that references a contract that can be changed at anytime without your agreement?

Just release the token under some other name, not like anyone can track it afterward anyway. What then?

"Despite the huge profit we earn, we are closing our activity. [...] But we never had any government or legal pressure [...]"

Sure? I think most would find this hard to believe. That was such an odd way to start the announcement.

I don't know what I am doing wrong, but it seems like I've had a ton of apps just crash/freeze on me as of late (looking at you Google) and the only way to fix it is to force quit apps. If an app does crash/freeze in the background how can I be certain its not draining my battery after all?

I've never really seen milk cartons delivered towards schools or shops (think juices and milk) be damaged all that often, but I'm not watching their deliveries either! I just imagined it was a problem already solved for non-pressurized drinks.

They never really talk about alternatives to the plastic bottle, just variations of it.

I would also think filling and distribution of a carton is a solved problem considering how much milk/juice gets moved in them without too much damage.

Why not just go with a square carton design? Now the whole rectangle is full and they're mostly recyclable (I think?). It would probably also normalize Soylent into something like milk.

I'm kind of curious on what you think about Tezos and its Michelson language (https://www.tezos.com/static/papers/language.pdf) which offers provability of contracts.

Can someone explain how immutable contracts get updated? From what I understand you can have one contract forward requests to another, and you can use some storage in the forwarding contract to determine the real target contract. But why would someone participate in a contract that is mutable?

I guess I am just wondering how this contract can be updated, given its on the blockchain and considered immutable.

I know this is a joke, but what would prevent the thief from attaching high transaction costs to the withdrawal of ETH from the target wallets? Say they place 50% of the value into the transaction costs - miners would assume a healthy profit off of the theft and it wouldn't be beneficial for them to rollback the chain.

Why would an unmarked function get the broadest possible scope in a language designed for contracts? I'm always surprised by the decisions made around Ethereum, and just how much value people have poured into it.

The best part is how little effort went into faking the praise. It's just so blatant, I am somehow left doubting its not fake praise, but fake-fake praise; purposely left there to undermine the link.

That only works when the money is tied to one of the core developers. Don't worry though, blockchains are immutable and safe from centralization.

'Hacked' - or just stolen. Who could ever know in crypto-land? I am sure the ICO contract had something about lost coins in it as well.

I can confirm this option still exists in 1Password 6 (I'm using the iCloud sync but I see the option for dropbox as well). I'm not sure how to get the license though. I only see the upgrade path that I took - not the outright purchase.

I'm a little confused, is this basically a competing service with zeit's already-abstract 'now' deployment service? Or is this completely separate from that now service that doesn't even require a zeit account/plan?

I don't disagree, it's just why place merit into an opinion that is poorly using a library(ies in this case). If I were to compare two libraries I wouldn't use the exception cases to show their differences - it's unhelpful and misleading.

I have no problem with stateful components, it was with this oddity:

   this.state = {
     value: this.props.value || '',
   }

A poorly done React component (mixing props and state?) and what looks to be a poorly done Vue component (with some jQuery lib thrown in?), are the basis of the opinion? Seems weird.

I understand the need for a distributed ledger, but it still seems absurd to me. All of this power is just getting put into a slow append-only database.
