When I'm a passenger in a cab, I would settle for one hand on the wheel. Preferably firmly and not just resting.
A more terse mission statement from a linked job posting:

“Culdesac's mission is to build cities for people, not cars. We're the first post-car real estate developer, and our goal is to build the first car-free city in the US. We're starting with the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch - that's Culdesac Tempe, a 1000-person neighborhood that opens Fall 2020.”

So, like an apartment building, but horizontal?
This was actually one of the reasons I ended up going with a (hybrid) RAV4 instead of a smaller pickup. I don't need a pickup for durability reasons (98% of the time I'm on paved surface), but I do need a way to move board as I do a fair bit of carpentry. In the RAV4 I can put the seats down and fit plenty of 8+ ft anything as long as it's not wider than the front passenger seat + center console. Most pickups in the price range I could afford had only 3.5 to 4.5 foot beds, since crew cabs have eaten all of our small trucks, while a few others had "almost" 6 ft.

Major downside of the RAV is I can't fit 4x8 sheets of anything and I don't have a tailgate to drop to make it work. In those cases I just find a friend with a larger vehicle who is available instead, or if I don't need the sheets to be whole I have them ripped at the lumberyard where I bought them.

The moveable wall and full passthrough in this B2 truck looks like a really good deal.
What's preventing that?
Even if they were standardized, would it naturally be workable as an exchange system similar to water cooler and propane bottles?

Battery packs are massive, complex, sensitive to abuse and expensive to replace. Those are very different qualities from water bottles and propane tanks.

I'm genuinely curious if we have any successful exchange system examples resembling EV batteries to reference as precedence.
I guess you haven't seen this then.

Do you really think so??? Not asked sarcastically... I just tossed it in the trash because I thought it was despicable. I have a hunch that is what most people do who do not just claim the gift-card. What a heist.
Is there a history of the original ML dialect out there somewhere? It's surprisingly old, having first appeared in 1973 according to Wikipedia.[1]

Been using kagi as well and have similar results. I’ll go back to google from time to time on specific queries to check if it offers better results and it will rarely be the case. The custom ranking adjustment is also amazing. There are so many crappy websites that ripped github issues and stack overflow and presented them in their own way that I can now just block.
Not too long ago in China, consumers preferred duck eggs with red tinted yolks. Market vendors would crack off the top half of an egg and display its yolk, and consumers thought the redder the better.

So, of course, farmers started feeding a carcinogenic dye called Sudan Red directly to the ducks.

A different, but somewhat similar issue came up with PVC (?); hairspray contained PVC until the health hazards became commonly known while industrial users continued exposing workers to those same hazards. The reasoning, as I understand the story, was that the companies' liability to customers (i.e. hairspray users) was unlimited, while the liability to employees was limited.

Good companies: “this was a failure of process, no individual is responsible”.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. It sounds like whaty you are asking for is All the benefits, none of the costs, someone else that does all the work and you get it for a bargain. And nobody has offerred this yet is a mystery?

It sounds like your best bet is to buy a cookie-cutter in the suburbs and a generator.
Unfortunate to see you buried for asking a simple question (that I also had). So, take an upvote from me, for what it's worth. Either way, thanks for taking a hit for those of us wondering what the issue was.

The capitalist mentality is becoming deeply unpopular, and I'm curious to see how it will play out. It no longer seems "okay" in a certain sense to simply focus on the money without considering the ethical implications.

I remember this kind of thing being an issue several years ago, when a certain Russian investor was courting a lot of unicorns and offering some pretty incredible termsheets that you'd be foolish to turn down.
Electricity may be a bad example. Creating electricity is very efficient. Its marginally more efficient to use gas? What's better about gas heat is, it takes load off the (possibly) overloaded electric grid, taking pressure off the need to expand it.
And thus, bitcoin. A stock that's guaranteed to provide no dividends, do no buy-backs, or deliver any value - aside from the ability to sell it to the next fool for an even greater value.
Flask is great. Off the top of my head, Falcon's smaller dependency list is nice if you're managing server environments. Flask currently depends on Werkzeug, Jinja2, itsdangerous, and markupsafe, as opposed to just six and mimeparse for Falcon.
That's an incredible story! He's touched so many lives and I'm so glad he is happy and found his riches. If he ever was in Melbourne, I'd be the first to buy him a beer :)
In most states in Australia McDonalds stores give a 50% discount to police. It's at the discretion of each store though it seems to be the standard, at least from every situation I've seen.
You're comparing market share (in your link) to revenue figures (in the post you responded to). Apples and oranges.

Over a 2 year time-frame (end of 2012 to end of 2014), Mac revenue increased by a measly 3.6%. iPhone revenue increased by 30%, and was over 4x Mac revenue in 2014. iPads alone generated more revenue than Macs (though to be fair, iPad revenue actually decreased slightly over the period).

As for units, for every Mac that Apple sold in 2014, they sold 9 iPhones. (mental image of Kramer saying '9, Jerry!')

Personally, I think smacktoward nailed it. It's fairly obvious that iOS is top priority at Apple, and it follows that is where the bulk of the design and engineering work is going.

I suspect that inside of Apple, this quote from Jobs is still considered relevant. I can guarantee you that Apple execs don't want Apple to be a truck maker.

"When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks. But as people moved more towards urban centers, people started to get into cars. I think PCs are going to be like trucks. Less people will need them. And this transformation is going to make some people uneasy... because the PC has taken us a long way. They were amazing. But it changes." - Steve Jobs

It's 28-30 pitches if you do Mescalito (The old aid route). The aid method usually limits practical pitch length. Doing it as a free climb, with 60m (180ft) ropes allows many of the pitches to be linked.

Diagram of the proposed route: http://www.rockandice.com/Article-Images/News-Photos/October...

EDIT: Looking at that diagram, pitch 19 looks to be very long. I'm assuming that they'll simulclimb that section as it's "only" 5.12 :-)
Let me guess... LCD font smoothing on a reasonably high resolution Apple display?
Performance is agnostic of ISA. Apple's custom designed cores do indeed have a massive performance/Watt advantage over x86 based designs and happen to be using ARM. However, it's not impossible for an x86 CPU to be designed in a similar way. It does, however, get more difficult to do so due to x86's variable length instruction encoding, to which ARM does not have.
I know exactly what you mean. My gf works at a school for the deaf and we're both hearing.... and I'm sensitive to this pensiveness you mention. Three reasons: there is so much bad info out there, asl and deaf culture are evolving as we observe, and hardly anyone is cataloging or curating the info. There are no ambassadors. It parallels health information imo. I guess I should add the contemporary attitude of self-righteousness on the u.s. when ppl learn sth abt any other group they tend to shove it others' faces. E.g. knowing that it was Illegal to drive a car with headphones on, I once dared to ask if deaf ppl were allowed to drive. Instead if a simple yes, I got chewed out by a hearing person for my ignorance.
you want something to keep the perimeters stiff if you care about the dimensions or if the parts aren't this small. The weight of the resin pushes out the walls.
> Rational thinking only works for clearly limited scope problems where you have all the data. Otherwise even perfect rational thinking - an unattainable ideal - fails because of "garbage in garbage out". Life in general being far from a clearly defined set of problems where you have all the data.

Not so. Rationality isn’t just about perfect knowledge situations (e.g. like chess), it’s also about maximising your chances of success — or your expected utility, or whatever your goal is — based on the information you do have (e.g. in poker).

This is different from the GIN=GOUT problem; if you think you’re playing poker but you’re actually hallucinating wildly while negotiating an international trade deal, things will go badly no matter how rational the rest of your thought processes are.
How many times have we survived a "the world is going to end in 12 years" trope spouted by climate apocalypse preachers? It really is a religion. The whole meme mocking voting and paying more taxes to change nature is such an accurate depiction.

Climate change is unavoidable (because nature)... but so is human ingenuity. We're constantly discovering new facts and approaches, and this is the major factor doomsayers never bring up in these discussions.
That altruism is selected for highlights what was long selected against. The non-selfish and even selfless or self-sacrificing behaviors seem a likely consequence of eons of semi-just capital punishment as a societal level selection mechanism.
> This has that too, it's called "reddit"

If you receive a Bloomberg message from someone, it's something actionable. That's not true, in finance, of virtually any other electronic communication channel.
At school they learn to interact with their peers, who will grow up to be adults. Adults interaction with adults is mostly picked up during their formative years at school and university.
good news great to hear, all in all. sensor interfaces are one of the things open source has needed the most help on. good look that Qualcomm reached out & got Linaro to build a (hopefully) good set of drivers.

less than stellar though: However, the image processing pipeline has been revamped, and the ISPIF no longer exists. What replaces it is an embedded CPU which is fed commands and in turn configures the data processing blocks. Adding support for this CPU is beyond the current scope of CAMSS due to the amount of work it would take to enable and the lack of documentation for the CPU command stream.

that's not the greatest to here. it'd be a good thing to be able to experiment with. but hopefully this encourages some reverse engineering of the command stream.

also with noting that google moved away from their custom Video Core & then follow up Neural Core chips on the latest Pixel 5[1]. which sounded semi-somewhat similar to this new general embedded imaging cpu. that computational photography work is probably largely mostly on the gpu now, i'd guess? probably some cpu. I doubt Google has spent a ton of time tapping the ISP but maybe. that'd be a good first thing to try to observe, to reverse, just seeing how much isp utization there is on a modern Pixel.

Right, I can understand that's normal in academia, but I thought the context here is software development interviews.
If that is possible then its also possible to hack the communication to the pilot and social engineer him to do what you want.
IMO, the short term solution is for Netflix to let you buffer more of the movie. There is a lot to be said for instant play, but if they reserved a reasonable slice of your bandwidth to an ever larger buffer they could all but eliminate stuttering after the first few minute of a movie. I mean they already have adaptive quality based on bandwidth, so I see no reason they can't do the same thing while trying to build up a 10+ minute buffer by the middle of the movie if that's more important to people than a minor change in quality.
Yeah but what can I say, I'm a Google fanboy.
This guy has the most useful tutorials in my opinion. I've learned a lot of stuff from his videos and I believe he also offers all the source code he uses in his videos.

CIA would be a big user of bitcoins. There are a few operations that they don't want the money to be traced.
You might assume it's a lawyer hitting the jackpot, but the company had to pay it out of their coffers. The hit to the coffers (typically investors' money) means the company needs to avoid doing the same issue again.

Same argument for governments. If the taxpayers are upset at government losing taxpayer dollars in court, then they have their chance to voice a change in government. The opposition could point out the waste in next election and the current government gets defeated.

If you don't want to be part of a suit for $5.00 refunds, you can put yourself down as an exception. You can then sue them yourself.
Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous. Everyone knows about all the transactions - they are kept in the block chain that all the clients have, you can only try to hide the real identities of the persons involved in transactions, and that is still quite hard, and anonymity could be attacked using different techniques (see Tor anonymity problems)

It was a bit harder(more costly) before Bitcoin to send small sums "anonymously", but if you have millions or billions there is a whole industry of lawyers/accountants/bankers to help you out. So in that perspective Bitcoin brings anonymity to the common people, lowers the barriers to entry, or you can also say that it brings the era of financial democracy upon us :)
It's, it's, it's beautiful. :)

Hahaha, but more seriously this has been an idea I've thrown around for a while. Really glad people are currently working on stuff like this. Hope it gets big enough (or something like it) to have a mesh network come out of it. Then things will get REALLY interesting.
I don't think the government would deny either.
They'd be like Service Packs if Service Packs broke backwards compatibility and changed core functionality of the OS, which they typically don't. They are not analogous.
Which would be great, except I have Nvidia graphics.
QuickTime and iTunes. I used to watch tv or a movie on one of my displays while coding on another. Instead I got to watch linen one screen while watching a movie (double whammy here because even showing pure black on the other screen would have been better since at least it wouldn't distract from the video).

I can't specifically recall, but I think the same was true of full screening video content from Safari (perhaps technically a "plugin feature", but maybe html5 video was around?), but QuickTime was 100% an apple regression.
"having major new releases every year is clearly impossible for the engineering teams to keep up with while maintaining quality." ... "We don’t need major OS releases every year. We don’t need each OS release to have a huge list of new features."

I would argue everything we know about software engineering process says that more releases is better. Incrementalism lowers risk for engineers and for users. Once a year doesn't sound often enough to me, going the other way would just repeat Microsoft's failings.

However it is possible that the core of his point, that marketing trumps what engineering can accomplish while maintaining quality, may be true. There seemed to be a lot of bolt on features in the last iOS & Mac OS X releases that didn't necessarily need to be pushed out right now, and some of the regressions are painful.
The workers need to be able to automate stuff or manage people, who do. Many high-paid, unskilled factory jobs have disappeared. The jobs are doing things that can't be easily automated. The more automatable the lower the pay.
Sorry if this is not how you do polls on HN I couldn't figure it out.
I don't have the time, energy, or resources to address every single social injustice or well intended cause. I might donate cash and possibly even time toward a cause after I have taken care of my job and mortgage and family and other immediate self-survival needs, but there are just too many causes that are worthy.

I can, however, give the slightest nod of support to promote countless causes that I may appreciate, but not be able to do anything about. Or I could smugly tell people how smug they are (believe me, I do that, too!).

Edit: Not that I don't agree there are far too many cause-whores out there who have stickers and shirts and web-buttons for a bunch of trendy causes that don't contribute toward anything in the world and that there aren't a ton of people who feel they directly had a part in the recent middle east uprisings, just because they followed activists in the thick of it, via Twitter.
I would pay for a nice Python plugin with Django/Jinja2 etc template support.
This is also good: http://www.cuneytyilmaz.com/prog/jrx/
Location tracking on iOS devices without GPS (for example an iPod touch) sometimes works without any internet connection (it nearly always works with an internet connection – WLAN access points are used to determine the approximate location), especially in urban environments (with a lot of WLAN access points). I always figured that iOS devices download location info on all the surrounding WLAN access points (maybe even those not in range – it seemed like that in my tests) as soon as you use location services and are connected to the internet.

This database could have something to do with that.
The difference, according to the article, is that the README should not be too detailed, so as to prevent the process from turning into a waterfall model by another name.
The ineffable value of "connections" is always brought up in conjunction with selling your equity for a pittance, or with paying $250,000 for an MBA from a brand name school.

If you need connections with people that have nothing to do with your domain to succeed, revisit your business model.

We have plenty of connections that we have developed. Not phoney connections to business parasites that want a cut in return for magic beans.
Imagine an OS where each new thread or process gets allocated its own core. You'd be limited to 1k threads/processes on this CPU, but what would otherwise be the benefits/drawbacks?
There are two facts about Web apps that few people seem to be able to hold in their heads at the same time:

1. Web apps are incredibly useful and convenient. Web apps are always up to date and pervasive because the Web runtime is everywhere. Some apps only need ever be Web apps.

2. The Web was designed to be a feature-rich hypertext system, not an application runtime and system-wide UI framework. Web apps will never be as good as native apps, something that was rediscovered in mobile devices.

Both are true. Both will be true for a long time to come.
Yes, it was even more buried before the start of the day and we moved it to what we hoped was a more prominent position today! We will make it more prominent, thanks for the feedback
The person who posted the example: presidentender

I can think of one:

http://www.snopes.com/college/homework/unsolvable.asp?a

Replied to my post: He was ignorant of the fact that the problems were supposed to be impossible. So he at least assumed the problem where thought to be unsolveable.

As to the gap between homework and open questions in the field, it can be fairly small in mathematics when the course is on the cutting edge. The field of Statistics was a lot more open back then, and there are still plenty of subjects where the gap between cutting edge homework and original research is fairly small.

PS: I once had a teacher suggest I write something up as original research as an undergraduate. The circumstances where a little different but less than you might think. It was a lecture where he was describing an algorithm and I said “that’s seems slow why not do X” but the same basic concept.
Dr. Paul is a respected member of that body.

Well, there's respected and respected.

How many co-sponsors does he have on that bill? I have to agree with the assessment that it has "zero chance of actually getting anywhere."
Any sane developer would pick iPhone fragmentation over Android fragmentation. I should know, I develop on a platform that's even more fragmented than Android.

Google and Android fans refuse to acknowledge the impact of fragmentation as much as they can, but it's there and it's going to get worse. Look at what the Android developers are saying tough (even here on HN): it's more time consuming and it costs more to develop for Android than for the iPhone.
Thanks Tim! We appreciate the support!
> thank you for proving an example page

Yes, this is great, but I only found it after reading this reply. I think it would help if you made the link more prominent.
The owner of this page probably should have added some content to it before posting to HN.

As those old Head & Shoulders commercials so wisely profess - you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
According to their support:

"We’ve uncovered a technical issue on web and we are disabling HD playback for movies until we are able to fix the issue. As of now, we don't have any timeline on when this issue will be fixed. However, users can still stream their movies or TV shows in HD on other supported devices."
The average isn't counting tips. Sorry if my post was misleading in that regard.

It's very possible a waiter could be making $4.00 in wage per hour but average out to something like $18/hour when you account for tips, and I think this is pretty common in mid-tier restaurants and up. (My numbers may be way off for that; I've never worked in a service industry.)

Waiters serving establishments in wealthier areas can potentially make a lot of money from tips.
Agreed, Excel is an amazing app. It's also Microsoft's strongest hold on businesses. I doubt there is more than a couple percent of businesses that don't depend on Excel in some fashion for their accounting.

Every company I've been in has Excel spreadsheets for things like budgets and expense tracking. They were all written long ago and no one is really quite sure how they work.
This hits home for me. For years a few buddies of mine and I would go out coyote hunting in farm fields. In the mornings, there would be a lot of dew and our pant legs would be soaked through from walking through freshly treated corn fields. All five of us came down with various thyroid disorders - nothing as scary as brain cancer, but I was telling my buddy that I had thyroid cancer and he was like “Weird, me too, and my son and a couple of other guys have it too.” Monsanto for the win I guess.
A lot of freelancers and small artists are afraid to be "aggressive" by asking for a contract.

This is the same dynamic as occurs when someone is young and eager and underprices his or her services. It doesn't make people like you or get you respect. It leads people to take advantage.

Always get a contract. And everyone who works independently in any context needs to watch or listen to the video. (I'm doing that right now.) It's worth the 38 minutes.
