I don't remember the details, but in one of the recent updates they increased the performance at top speed and initial start (below 3 mph). Prior to that, 85D and 90D (all-wheel drive configuration) got a significant boost to its 0-60 performance via a software update.

Since all the hardware is controlled via a software firmware, they are able to tweak the voltage supply of each motor to decrease or increase output performance.

Congrats Travis, Peter and everyone from Continuum Analytics!

If you own a Tesla Model S and live near a supercharger network, charging is not an issue. Over 8,000 miles in my Model S, all powered exclusively by the superchargers, free of charge.

Note: I live in an apartment less than 2 miles from the nearest supercharger in Los Angeles and only 8 miles from work. So, the range is never a problem.

That was my initial reaction as well. Pretty interesting concept. Front page Hacker News web traffic to your website in real-time.

Meh, mixins are anti-pattern and I am glad they are finally gone. In my experience mixins just make your code hard to read.

I actually commute every day via 405 and 10. You are right, it's awful during the rush hour, but during non-rush hours it is still faster than taking local streets. A few weeks ago I left work via 405 at 4:45pm and arrived home at 7:10pm, the commute that would take no more than 12-15 minutes without traffic.

It's nice to see Google using Polymer.js on their pages.

Are they going to take it down like Microsoft did with Monster Truck Madness 2 website?

That's an excellent question. Doing this did not, at any point in time, feel like I was sacrificing my time for other fun activities. I enjoy coding the point of addiction sometimes.

On contrary, I felt the opposite most of the time - "I should be writing code right now instead of playing video games or socializing on weekends." But that will differ from person to person. Certainly not everyone will enjoy programming 24/7.

Satellizer gives you an illusion that you're doing an implicit grant flow by opening a popup and then magically you are signed-in. But authorization process is handled on the server: https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/blob/master/examples/ser...

I just implemented a GitHub sign-in and it took me only 8 minutes because on the server it was mostly copy-&-paste of the Facebook sign-in and on the client it's just:

  $authProvider.oauth2({
    name: 'github',
    clientId: 'xxxxxx',
    url: '/auth/github',
    authorizationEndpoint: 'https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize',
    redirectUri: window.location.origin
  });

Thank you. I like React too so perhaps someone could implement something like Satellizer that integrates with React.

Satellizer is designed to be used without auth libraries such as Passport (Node), OmniAuth (Ruby). On Python-side all you need is the requests library. It is so by design to avoid relying on third-party libraries. Additionally, if I were to implement it with a server-side auth library there is no choice but to use full page redirects, i.e redirect to Facebook, authorize the app, redirect back to the app.

@pingburg @filearts You are right, unique account validation and error handling belong to the server. What Satellizer can do is catch an error through the $auth.authenticate().catch() promise and display it to the user. I will definitely update the documention very soon. The README of https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter could fit on a screen when I first posted it on Hacker News earlier this year; it is now 1300+ lines long.

I have considered Play Framework and Dropwizard. Play it seems is better suited for Scala language and I don't know much about real-world usage of Dropwizard. Between Struts and Spring, Spring seems to have a more active community. I haven't done anything with the Java example yet so Spring can easily swapped for something else if you think that other framework is better. I am not a Java developer so I need someone's help on this one.

I forgot to change the redirect url on dev.twitter.com from http://127.0.0.1:3000 to http://satellizer.herokuapp.com. It should be fixed now.

Satellizer is tightly coupled with Angular so I don't think there is much sense in using it without Angular. You can certaintly take server-side examples and re-implement satellizer.js in pure JavaScript but that is going to be a lot of work! The closest non-Angular alternative that I know of would be Torii (https://github.com/Vestorly/torii/)

Where does Polymer stand in relation to React.js from Facebook?

Congrats to the grantees! I was one of the 120 applicants who was not selected for this program. But I do hope I could work on something equally as exciting this Fall at my first job.

Nice landing page, I'll give them credit for that. But why would I want to use this instead of Express or Restler?
