The 4 core ones (HQ series) have not been released yet. They're supposed to be out Jan/Feb.

Except that Tesla is now charging $0.40/minute of leaving the car plugged in after a full charge is reached. They do this precisely to prevent people from "abandoning" their car while others wait in line.

That may be the case, but should we really just take their word without evidence?

That happens when you link your identity with your tribe's identity. A lot of people in the US bought into the propaganda that we're the best or better than others. All that dirt surfacing would be an attack against that identity. It would force us to reconsider and reevaluate, which is a painful process if it requires changing one's identity.

If that happens the customer would just complain and in time we'd lose the trust in the store. So, no, the incentive is most definitely on Amazon to get it right. If they don't, they won't last long. Just imagine news stories with people that later noticed that they "purchased" items that they didn't leave the store with. It would be a huge mess.

That's just an excuse. Germany and UK have much higher populations and manage to achieve similar results. The "more homogeneous" argument is weird to me. Most immigrants that I've dealt with are more inline with the European mentality (regardless of their country of origin) than US natives. Are you saying the problem is with the locals?

What I find disappointing is that they emphasized how the base is quiet and yet they're using a HDD (hybrid)?!... in a $3K machine... You can get 1TB SSD for $300. Where is all that $3K going?

Doesn't make the entire city shitty, but it's not excusable either. There are much poorer cities (in relative poor countries) that don't have that problem. Also, the fact that you're defensive about this gives us a clue as to why the problem persists.

We all have our standards. If I come to your house and there's trash on the lawn I won't leave with a good impression. For me that shows lack of management / organization. It's not like they can't afford it.

ATL is green, has lots of trees, it's beautiful, but the trash on the side of the roads is ridiculous (I'm talking 285, 400, 75, 85) and seems to be getting worse. It's especially bad around the airport; so much for first impressions. If you go outside of ATL (or even inside) the situation improves a lot.

After using a phone with stereo speakers ( http://cdn01.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08... ) there's no way I'm going back to mono. What's frustrating is that the bottom part looks perfect for a second speaker.

Humans have flourished too much; we're killing the planet. If anything, we should focus on constraining ourselves. What took millions or billions of years to evolve is in the process of begin destroyed in a few hundred years. On a geological timescale we're the equivalent of a bomb going off.

Your sensor is indeed properly calibrated; carry on.

Well maybe you don't care, but there are folks that do (I'm on that list) ;-) I want the speed of C but the safety of C#.

There are many pieces of code that you probably use every day that go to great lengths to squeeze as much power as possible. Why not help these folks help us? I'm glad there is more focus on performance because we all benefit. (Hoping to see more on the CLR side.)

Yeah, let's talk about foreign intervention, Assange and his vendetta, how some private information was not censored, possible geopolitical implications, or how Trump may be implicated. Did I forget any other diversion tactic? The efficacy of such methods is worrisome; even smart people are unable to look behind these curtains.

Wow, what an insightful post! What are some of these "big books" you alluded to?

Type safety (no strings) and just as fast as Dapper (actually faster in some cases):

The point of using a stateless token is that you don't have to hit a central server / service to verify each token. If you need to do that in order to check for revoked tokens (for each request) then that defeats the purpose. At that point you may as well just check the original token / key for validity.

The difference in speed between checking for a token in the big pool (all tokens) vs the small pool (revoked tokens) should be a lot smaller than the round trip to token server (i.e. network cost).

Also, you should be able to easily store millions of tokens on a single server (something like Redis). Do you really have a site that has multiple millions of people logged in?

You seem to suspect a lot without bringing any evidence; nothing but FUD. I can just as easily suspect that you're full of it.

I've used Core RC1 for a few months now and I haven't seen any of the issues you're worried about. I've had way more pain with TypeScript, VS, and node integration than anything .NET specific. From my point of view the .net piece just works, even with the RC bits.

It's just a bit more granular than before, but VS helps you a lot. All you have to do is type a class name and VS can suggest to import a library that you never included in your project. This alone, in my opinion, makes it a lot easier than before - I wouldn't want to go back.

A lot of what you described is in the new MVC Core. It would be interesting to see a comparison with Core.

Even 1M per minute is rather pathetic. The game is around multiple millions per second:

How much is the difference between academia and industry? Can you share some numbers or ranges?

Do you have any plans to run on .NET Core? If so, how soon after it's out as RTM? Any issues with this?

> One of the very few things I don't like about C# is that does not have anonymous classes

Anonymous classes are lambdas in C#.

Any tips on how to find out about (some of) these in a quick (phone) interview?

Feedback: 1) the videos go a tiny bit too fast in certain areas, but one can pause and rewind so that's not a problem 2) the background music is too loud/strong which makes it too distracting, I have to focus more than necessary on the spoken words; I'd cut the volume of the background music in half. Otherwise, pretty awesome videos :)

The fastest code is the one that doesn't run. Joking aside, there have been numerous low level improvements with Ben making big contributions - thanks Ben!

They may call it RC, but it's barely beta. Recently they said they'd take their time to get it right - less conference driven development. This is a new start, SignalR will come after RTM, so lots of things won't be there. Think of it as version 1 rather than 5. There's currently no VB support either, so F# may take a bit.
