Three questions:

1. The article notes that the monetary cost to the driver for accidentally killing someone is much less than the cost for accidentally disabling someone.

For drivers that do not have much wealth, and who are the sole source of income for their family, I can see how [1] they might decide that the harm to their family from having to pay that higher cost might outweigh the harm from killing a stranger. People tend to value their immediate family very much more than they value strangers.

However, it seems a lot of these cases were people driving expensive luxury cars. For people with the incomes or wealth to afford those cars, is the cost difference enough to actually cause serious hardship for them or their family?

2. How does this work when the pedestrian is a foreigner, such as a tourist or a business traveler?

Do drivers know that (1) these people will have their medical bills taken care of by insurance or the national healthcare systems of their home countries, so there is no need to kill them, and (2) it would really piss off their home country, which would cause severe diplomatic pressure on China to seriously punish the driver?

3. Drivers certainly cannot count on always being able to finish off any pedestrian they hit. Why hasn't an insurance market sprung up to deal with the risk of disabling pedestrians?

[1] Note: "I can see how" is not meant to mean "I approve of". It is observational, not judgmental.
Just tell me how much it costs.

The "Request Quote" thing is bullshit. I'm not willing to provide you that information just to learn about pricing.
You sure that in Vietnam that there are hit-to-kill incidents?

I thought that thing is exclusive to China. Or at least like that, since I have a few people who got hit by vehicles but only injured, drivers don't even tries to finish off.
Wow. Not only did the group that recovered the game put a flashy intro on it... the game's programmers also put a flashy intro on it back when they made it.

It clearly spends a lot of time loading that kickass drum sample that's totally disconnected from the gameplay.

I don't know of any reports on it, but from personal experience, the amount of time spent on average per physical server I configure and shift around is a tiny fraction of the time I spend dealing with AWS peculiarities you don't have to deal when you control your own hardware (I currently split my time 60/40 between two clients - one with a physical hosting environment set up as a private cloud split over two colo's, and one in AWS)

The company I manage physical servers for would go bankrupt if we were to pay AWS level rates. Last time we priced it out we were looking at ~3x hosting cost - including fully loaded cost for staff time spent on maintenance etc.

Hi all. This is a real-time pull request review tool for better code review.

At work, we use GitHub PR to review co-workers' code. It is sometimes a pain to review a PR with 30+ files changed. GitHub does not allow you to organize files in logical order, or group them. Sometimes even you can't explain your PR coherently.

So this is a proof of concept to solve the problem of large PR review. It is still crude, but it works. Do you find this useful? Let me know.

1.	How to exchange in bartering?
Top Bartercard is the trading of one product or service for another. Usually there is no exchange of cash. Top Bartercard may take place on an informal one-on-one basis between individuals and businesses, or it can take place on a third party basis through a Top bartercard exchange company. A Top bartercard exchange is any person or organization with members or clients that contract with each other (or with the barter exchange) to jointly trade or Top bartercard property or services. The term does not include arrangements that provide solely for the informal exchange of similar services on a noncommercial basis.

While I think murder is a bit outside the in-built nature of human beings, I absolutely believe that violence in general is one of the core human behaviors. People resort to violence very often, and very quickly. Sure, there's incentive to get the other guy or girl to back down without expending the energy of physically attacking them, but I'm not limiting my definition of violence to only be physical. Psychological violence is half of the infantry's job, anyways. I also offer another[0] interesting story about this fact (that most humans will not voluntarily murder another human being).

> is gasoline subsidized in the U.S.?

That's a good question. My understanding always has been that it is, especially in many indirect ways. For example, tax breaks and other government benefits for the oil and gas industry, as well as for the automotive industry. But I can't cite any off the top of my head.

One way it's indirectly subsidized, at extremely high cost, is the use of the U.S. military to protect industry assets, especially in the Mideast where we maintain a large, active military presence. As just part of the cost, the Iraq war cost the U.S. over $1 trillion. I very much doubt we would have been involved if there wasn't so much oil in and around Iraq. On the other hand, every import or export business relies on the peace, stability, and secure sea lanes provided by the U.S.'s foreign operations (military and diplomatic).
Mickey was first drawn in 1928. Tom and Jerry started in 1940, as did Bugs. Until the 40s, animation was largely a crude curiosity; by the early 40s, there was a sufficient body of technique and skilled artists to start making some nice stuff. Color and sound helped a lot.

(And I say that it was a crude curiosity despite being someone who absolutely loves the 30s output of the Fleischer studios.)

However, Disney was cranking out cartoons all through the 40s and 50s, competing with the stuff from MGM and WB. Including Mickey shorts.

Realistically, I feel like if you're going to assign a 'golden age' of animation it would be the 40s and 50s; there were three major studios cranking out shorts, Disney was starting to do features, everything was awesome. In the 60s the market started to change to cheap TV cartoons (a change lead in no small part by Bill Hannah and Joe Barbera, who directed a ton of lavish Tom & Jerry shorts at MGM, then completely changed the industry when they started cranking out TV stuff at their own studio). The 70 and 80s were generally a wasteland of low-budget TV stuff with a growing wave of quickly-dubbed Japanese stuff; the 90s saw a renaissance at the high end when Disney started having a string of feature hits, leading to multiple other movie studios opening feature animation studios. Most of which died horribly over the next decade, though this era also saw the beginning of the rise of 3D animation from a curiosity to a serious medium that eventually pretty much took over the feature scene.

(I grew up devouring animation history and went into the industry around the time the 90s boom was hitting its peak; I am now quite far away from that scene.)

It looks slick, but I can't bring myself to believe that a FAQ is so important to have (or difficult to create) that it needs to be outsourced to a third-party service such as this. When I read the pricing page, all I could see in my mind was "$4.99 per month for ten thousand pageviews", and that seemed pretty steep to me when creating a FAQ in an app is something that would be extremely easy to create during app development in the first place. Best of luck to you.

I'm from Romania and we have the same fairy tale involving said vegetable (in our case is a giant radish). It would be interesting to draw some maps of "fairy tales influence" (for a lack of a better word), i.e. in this case the map for the "giant radish fairy tale" would cover both Russia and Romania, the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale would cover most of Western Europe etc.

From what we've seen of car software (e.g. Toyota accelerator control), it wouldn't surprise me if the electronics system is tightly coupled to both critical functions and specific hardware.

Looking forward, my hope is that electric/self-driving cars will be more like modern PCs or those heavy-duty e-juice vaporizers that people have today: composed of well-understood parts that connect in compatible ways.
I think it's important that we recognise the distinction between targeted surveillance and mass surveillance. Within a legal framework that recognises the right to privacy as the default, surveillance is a necessary law enforcement tool. This kind of device is aimed at that kind of surveillance.

I think a lot of people tar all means of investigating crime with the same "surveillance bad" feather, and they're espousing a pretty extreme anarchist viewpoint that they don't really hold.
People on HN always focus on "changing the world" as something that means building a billion dollar company. But this can't be further from the truth.

Storytelling, like what Fish has done here, is certainly changing the world and it is this incremental progress which we should all celebrate. His beautiful story, among others like his, will inspire people to be more open about their mental health and hopefully in the process inspire a better future.

Entrepreneurship is not the only way to make the world a better place, and neither is an incredibly high level of success (as Fish has had). But what resulted from his high level of success is a story that many can and will relate to. That's something to celebrate.
Hey stockkid, nice to see somebody else attacking the problem of code review on GitHub. :) You might want to take a look at my tool too, https://reviewable.io. My quick impressions of Coddee:

- I don't understand the "Get realtime revision feed" feature. What does it mean to push snapshots of pull requests to me? By email? Or do you just mean the app's UI syncs with the state on GitHub in real time, like Reviewable?

- Organizing files sounds appealing on the surface, and I actually set up Reviewable to be able to do it but didn't finish implementing the feature for my MVP. I opened an issue for it and, in the ~1 year since launch, not a single user has said they'd like to have it. You may be overestimating the feature's appeal.

- I was interested in trying Coddee out on my own public repos, but you ask for the full private `repo` scope up front so I bailed. I realize it's only an MVP, but I think this is one thing you can't skimp on if you want people to actually try it out. Check out how Reviewable does progressive authorization -- I'm happy to explain how to implement that if it's not obvious.

Amusingly, I notice that we've made some similar infrastructure choices: real-time DB (Meteor / Firebase) and SemanticUI. Heh.

I disagree strongly. This is the same difference as Linux vs Minix. Minix didn't want anything added as it was said to be for educational purposes even though that didn't reflect the use cases.

The author points out that whilst the stated aim of NLTK is for education, it's used for far more than that in industry and academia. You'll see it used in papers, you'll see it as the basis of real world projects, etc. This presents a problem if the aims of the project are different to the how the project is used.

The biggest flag for me is, as pointed out in the blog post, when the project doesn't even know how the part of speech (POS) model was trained[1]. That means a lack of reproducibility[2]. Given POS tags are the first level of almost any NLP task, this is strongly troubling.

The fact that you don't have a lot of insurance doesn't mean you're not liable for damages. If you hit someone with $30k insurance in CA and the court awards them $1M, you still owe $970,000.
That would seem like bad corporate governance. Why is this allowed in the case of a limited liability company? It seems like a mechanism to offload liability.

Indeed, there are practical concerns. But I never said suddenly or easy. And since it could simply buy the server time from any hosting provider, I don't see why any human compliance is necessary. Maybe initially it would only have one copy to play with.

Even that would be a massive boon to experimentation and productivity. It's like cloning your mind and trying out some new brain subroutines with at least an iteration per day.

Because you borrow money as a new company called NewCo formed offshore and then you buy the old company with a loan tied to the assets and performance of old company. This loan is also contingent on NewCo completing the acquisition of old company. Ideally you give no personal guarantees so the bank only collects assets of old company if it fails and you walk away with your fees and dividends that you've received since then.

As you state from looking at the website, the stated purpose is for education, but NLTK is used (and advertised) as far more than that. Due to this mixed message, NLTK is used in places it shouldn't be - the author's main concern.

For me, NLTK also has issues in education. Teaching requires clarity - a complex codebase rarely allows for that. The author wrote an article "Parsing English in 500 lines of Python"[1] which does a great job of explaining, by being simple and lean, how to parse. Additionally, it achieved the same level of accuracy as the Stanford NLP parser - a larger and more complex parser.

That to me is the pinnacle of an educational objective - clear, concise, and practical.

I wonder if history will judge the PE business model as being illegitimate. For the moment, it sounds legal, (IANAL) but it also sounds like the corporate system was not meant to be run this way.

In short, what is generally done (and also in this case) is that when you buy a company, you can have the company borrow money, and transfer that money to the PE owner. You can do this because you have good bank connections, and the company is a large going concern that is used to borrowing some money from its lenders. I couldn't just open a company tomorrow and fleece the bank by paying it all to myself.

Our corporate system grew out of the industrial revolution. There was a need to finance large undertakings in a way that wouldn't be ruinous if it went wrong. Gathering a bunch of money from investors wasn't a new idea (various "Indian" trading companies) but limited liability was seen as a necessity for risk taking. During the 1800s a bunch of western countries created the modern forms of the law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_liability).

With the PE type model, you can take over a company, load it with debt, and transfer risk-free money to a parent fund. The company doesn't necessarily go bankrupt, but it's more likely if you take a lot of debt. If the company does well, great. You can take that account statement to your bank and... pile more debt on.

Most people who run a company will not behave like this. The idea is not to have a company that is constantly on the brink, but to pay out some dividends when it's safe to do so.

And since there are no official comments about it from Facebook, Google and Twitter, they are still fighting. This fight is very important not only for them but for small companies, which will be the main victims of this law in the future.
