   * see that things can be done better (not as in upgrade but best);
   * have a global idea/feeling of how this could be done;
   * take a lot of ideas from nature.

My take: we should take a good look at nature because this is closest to what we are. For example the communication between objects could be learned from cells.

Right now batteries are way too heavy. And combustion engines can't alter speed that quick.

Eric Schmidt is wrong.

Elon also said the car market is huge, very huge. So Tesla and Apple are just small compared to others.

If you talk about car competition you should take a look at the big players. Volvo for example is already running tests with complete autonomous cars (100 people driving them). And almost all other brands have self driving cars and electric cars.

So I don't think Apple as a competitor has anything to do with it. Apple is just too small in this industry (for now).

And as for Apple becoming a power company: it's still unclear what Apple is going to do with it in the future. For now they are just selling the excess power they create with the solar panels on the campus and other places.

Maybe this can be solved with good caching.

But what you don't want is your site / post going viral which will bring down your internet connection.

It's always nice to see visuals appear (in a file or on screen). It's like a compliment for the work done.

And you will learn a lot of basic stuff like loops, scope, types, and so on.

This is on HN because this story is interesting from a technical point of view.

The waves on the ocean are also turbulent distortions by the wind which pack together was waves (a group of 14 waves with the 7th as the highest and all waves after the 7th barely noticeable).

It seems that the 7th spike measured at LIGO is also the highest. Maybe the grouping of turbulent distortions as waves is something universal?

$10k is quite good in the rest of the world by the way ;) Good luck!

Some time ago I experimented with 16-32 color images on websites. Because of high res screens they look great but save a lot of data.

But on the other hand suspension problems like this are also nothing. Drive into a hole hard enough and something breaks. Just happens.

Google Flu is working different. They try to predict a flu epidemic by counting related search queries.

But Microsoft is predicting the health of a single person based on his search history.

Edit: Thinking about it: ofcourse Google, Facebook and others could do the same because they also gather user data.

Maybe in this case it doesn't matter very much but there are a lot of ways comments can get lost or messed up.

I watched Twitter after EgyptAir flight 804 was lost. And I was amazed by the amount of shit I got to see. Everybody was placing assumptions, unknown 'facts', stupidity and so on.

Sometimes I saw a relevant post but then it got reposted a trillion.

Maybe some streams are of good quality. But my breaking news experience was not of high quality I must say.

But in your case a sorting conveyor belt could be the easiest way. The right items are pushed off the belt at the right time.

Edit: an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajxs6_V8KJM

And by the way: if you got 50 unique items it doesn't mean you need 50 slots. You can also create 10 and repeat the process for the unsorted items. But you need to reprogram the system each run.

In this Volvo movie the driver is opening a note book and making notes and also is watching a movie.

Both Tesla and Volvo have auto pilot mode which still needs an alert driver. But they advertise it like autonomous driving.

Edit: Volvo will launch Level 4 autonomous driving indeed. So they are a step ahead of Tesla. But it's confusing because they also call it auto pilot: http://www.volvocars.com/au/about/innovations/intellisafe/au...

It's nice that you can check your mail or read a news paper in autopilot mode as advertised but doesn't this create the danger of touching the steering wheel, turning autopilot of, while still holding a newspaper in your hand?

Also I can imagine people could fall asleep when the car is driving.

This is another example of the emptyness it will give.

I see a lot of people using classes to create unique styles for specific elements. This will make a mess of your stylesheet.

Also try not to think too much in subcategories (nested classes) because it will remove flexibility from you stylesheet. For example:

  .button {}
  .button.text-center {}

  .button {}
  .text-center {}
