Fatalities per 100 million miles driven is not a great metric for measuring the reliability of Autopilot.

That number is influenced not just by Autopilot avoiding accidents, but also by the overall safety of the car. Teslas are incredibly safe in accidents. The current 25% lead that Autopilot has over the average is probably not attributable to Autopilot at all, and instead to the overall safety of the vehicle.

* Fatality rates vary by make/model quite a bit (up to 8x). Some of this is surely attributable to the relative driving skill of purchasers, but most is probably the safety of the cars themselves. Given the spread seen in this IIHS report I would guess that Autopilot performs worse than the average human. http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/driver-death-rates

Zenefits does not do payroll, they "integrate" with other Payroll providers. Of the providers I've been most impressed with ZenPayroll so this is a very exciting announcement.

This is not really the attitude a company should have when they manage benefits:

On the flip side, with so many people contributing code mistakes are bound to happen. That’s normal – after all we’re all just people, and people make mistakes. One thing that I’ve found particularly admirable about our team here is that people own up right away, and strive to fix things as fast as possible. No one wants to ship buggy code, but it happens. The nice thing about working with so many smart and friendly devs though is that you can trust that someone will be there to catch you if you fall and help you fix things.

We've caught and reported 4-5 bugs in production to Zenefits on really basic features. Three of our employees have now been asked to send a screenshot of the dashboard with the JS console open...

And here are the two discussing it today: https://twitter.com/ChancellorFolt/status/636306368861966341

The link I added has a filmstrip view where you can verify that this isn't the case. Alternatively visit the two sites yourself! The multi-second difference is perceptible to a human being.

This linked article that talks about web pages sucking is 1.3mb and is first visible/readable after 4.9 seconds:

An article from the site it complains about sure uses a lot more bandwidth (2.9mb) but at least it's visible/readable in 2.2 seconds:

The bandwidth/resource waste sure sucks but having ads load asynchronously isn't as bad as a blank screen for 5 seconds.

If zooming is disabled, the browser can respond to clicks without a 300ms delay since it doesn't have to wait for a double-click zoom. It seems like the best solution to this problem would be to make a global toggle in settings.

About an inch, but actually less than an inch and even less so for women. So women are ~1% taller and 18.5% heavier. I don't think height is a factor.

I too run a small company and am a Zenefits customer. We've now done ~15 payroll runs with Zenefits and only 3 have worked without my manual intervention to fix a problem at the last minute. I don't think this will be the only lawsuit in their future.

I can second this. We've been with Zenefits for over a year now and the issues don't stop. Many of their "integations" occur in meatspace: when a change is made on the Zenefits dashboard, a Zenefits employee then manually updates the related service(s). This has resulted in a number of errors over the course of a year.

Additionally their are still issues with validation on their dashboard. We had a problem where the dashboard allowed an invalid value to be entered for a monthly 401k contribution that was a big pain to unwind.

This works amazingly well on a Surface with pen/touch. It's the fastest app I've seen for going from idea to wireframes. So impressive that this could be done with web tech.

The problem with (and complaint about) the top comment isn't cynicism, it's emptiness. It really just says "there is survivorship bias" with nothing specific about the shared article. It's not interesting.

The Anandtech quote compares the A7 to an Atom chip, not a Core chip. That's not to say that Apple can't eventually match Core performance at higher TDPs but the distance is greater than the article suggests.

I've been checking in a bit too and am somewhat discouraged. I'm not exactly sure how he is counting his rounds towards his hour goal, but it seems like he is playing more and more and practicing less and less. He also seems very equipment obsessed. It could just be that what he writes about has changed.

Most that I've looked at seem to be within 5-10% which is surely within the variance for food being doled out by scoop. I just preferred the UI of the first one. Which items are way off so I know what to look out for?

Skip the tortilla, sour cream and chips and you've just saved 980 calories. Without those it's hard to create a meal that has a calorie issue. Aside from the sodium, Chipotle is darn healthy.

If you were looking for screenshots (since this is a wrapper around blink) they are buried here under the Press Resources link:

It's actually more like Sonos. Airplay streams from the device to the receiver. With this (and Sonos) a command is sent to the device which does the streaming on its own.

I love four sides as an alternative to both sides.

It's very redundant so it gzips to 3kb.

The same thing that happened to the family in the article is happening to the commenters in this thread -- but in reverse!

Just as the furniture rental place likely never told the family that the weekly-payment total would be $4,150, the article doesn't clearly show the price the family was looking at: $57.64/week.

I'm much more sympathetic to their decision when looking at the two numbers they were faced with: $58 vs $1500. A bad sofa on Craigslist is $200.

It seems like a good solution to the problem would be to require the $4150 total to be made explicit on a standardized disclosure form, not unlike what you see on a home mortgage.

CDN down as well.

CDixon: It's bad that the mobile web is losing to mobile apps because apps are heavily controlled by the dominant app stores owners that censor things and take a 30% cut.

Gruber: Mobile apps and the Mobile web are the same thing because both use HTTP. And the walled garden thing isn't bad because Google and Apple compete and Bitcoin seems to be succeeding anyway.

That would be a terrible plan. Apple stock raises on average 2.1% the day after an earnings announcement: http://www.thestreet.com/story/11505061/1/where-will-apple-t...

Not to mention their refusal to admit that they shouldn't be changing quotes in the first place.

For what it's worth, this delay was already removed for sites that had user-scalable=no set. Most mobile "apps" used this.

The change here is that if the computed viewport is smaller or equal to the device width, fast clicks will be enabled without having to disable scaling. Double clicking won't work, but pinch-to-zoom will.

Overall it's a fairly minor change for those thinking about making HTML5 apps, but it is a big positive change for users visiting existing web sites that have mobile/responsive versions that haven't disallowed scaling.

IE8 doesn't support SVG and still has nearly 15% marketshare in the US. This is essentially the entire reason.

The Haswell Airs came out in June and the Windows Haswell Ultrabooks were for sale beginning in August. The gap was only about 3-4 months.

It will make a difference. Your eyes can see a much wider color space than your monitor can display. By shifting colors, f.lux leaves some of the monitors color space unused, compressing the remaining colors so that some are closer together (or the same even).

Plus encasing every component in its own plastic capsule with high quality metal interconnects won't exactly save materials.
