The first social network for developers and the tech community

It works just fine for me; maybe try again. In either case, here's the text:

Four years ago, Tesla introduced the Supercharger Network – the world’s fastest charging solution – to enable convenient long distance travel. Today, more than 4,600 Superchargers allow over 160,000 Tesla owners to drive across the continental U.S., from the Arctic Circle to the south of Spain, and across all of the population centers in China and Japan, among many other places. Supercharging has even helped owners drive their Teslas around the world.

We’ve designed our network so that all customers have access to a seamless and convenient charging experience when they’re away from home, as our intention has always been for Supercharging to enable long distance travel. That’s why today we’re announcing a change to the economics of Supercharging – one that allows us to reinvest in the network, accelerate its growth and bring all owners, current and future, the best Supercharging experience.

Ensuring Use for Long-Distance Travel For Teslas ordered after January 1, 2017, 400 kWh of free Supercharging credits (roughly 1,000 miles) will be included annually so that all owners can continue to enjoy free Supercharging during travel. Beyond that, there will be a small fee to Supercharge which will be charged incrementally and cost less than the price of filling up a comparable gas car. All cars will continue to come standard with the onboard hardware required for Supercharging.

We will release the details of the program later this year, and while prices may fluctuate over time and vary regionally based on the cost of electricity, our Supercharger Network will never be a profit center.

These changes will not impact current owners or any new Teslas ordered before January 1, 2017, as long as delivery is taken before April 1, 2017.

The Road Ahead Just as you would charge your cell phone, we believe the best way to charge your car is either at home or at work, during the hours you’re not using it. For travelers, the Supercharger Network has become a powerful, unique benefit of Tesla ownership. As we approach the launch of Model 3, this update will enable us to greatly expand our Supercharger Network, providing customers with the best possible user experience and bringing sustainable transport to even more people.

Completely agree. Here's another example: BitDefender (antivirus) passes your email and MD5 of your password in the hash when you want to go to your dashboard. When I contacted them more than 1 year ago about it, their "senior e-threat analyst" said it's nothing to worry about. Absolutely ridiculous.

What to do when the company is ignorant and continues to use something as stupid as that?

I experienced this too many times with UK/US providers (e.g. Hostgator and Fasthosts). They often ask for server root password or email/password combo for the client portal, even after you verify account ownership.

Seems that they don't have any other way to grant the technicians access to the server/my account, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Same here. Since it combines most of my areas of interest, I don't need to use other sources.

If I'm not active on HN for some time, I check out Lobste.rs to keep up. They have way less members and posts, so hot news stay longer on the front page.

For funny things I go to regular Reddit front page.

Good points; however, this is not only important for startups and new companies, but for the community itself.

Drupal has much stronger community than WordPress & Joomla for example, and I think this has to do with keeping all extensions in one place and discouraging premium ones.

This way all developers can get whatever they need, but because of Drupal's "complexity", you there is way less crappy code written by people who are just passing by, as in WP/Joomla.

Here are a few affordable pens:

- Lamy Safari/Vista

- Kaweco Sport

- Pilot Metropolitan

- Parker Vector

- Tesco's if you can find them; $0.5 but write fairly well

The interesting part about fountain pens is customization: you can choose between different nib widths, type of paper and quality of ink. After some time you will notice significant difference if you go back to ballpoint/gel pens.

If you're interested, check out Fountain Pen Network:

http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/

One minor thing to add - consider fountain pens and good paper. That alone can push the thoughts come to paper way easier than other means, and will let you have richer "micro-expressions"/mental bookmarks in your handwriting.

I know it's offtopic, but wanted to mention in case it helps someone.

Which is enough to understand what's all the fuss about and why all those pages should make one "surprised". Blog post itself doesn't have any description. Doh.

Same experience. I tried it on DO droplets (1, 2, 4 and then 16GB of RAM to see if I'm nuts), computer I'm working on (16GB RAM) and from a RPi (that was for fun though). Every single time it was painfully slow.

It took it about 1h to sync a folder with about 100 files, under 30MB total across 4 computers. Not to mention that minor modifications appeared only after 15 minutes (small text files).

BTSync worked great, but I wouldn't trust it with something sensitive.

What did you end up using?

No matter how much I tried, I always had crappy experience using OwnCloud (-> very slow to recognize new files and sync them across other computers). I tried it maybe 4-5 times in total, last time just couple of weeks ago.

Does it work fast for you? Do you use desktop client or primarily web GUI?

Completely agree; with the exception of first item (dropdown on hover), all other items are pretty regular, documented things that are easy to understand if you are already using Bootstrap.
