In terms of efficiency, is using the same technology (cars) in a different way - removing the driver - really going to have long term affects?

My guess is that cars themselves will be out of production before we reach 100% adoption of driverless cars.
Unlimited vacation is an accounting trick. If a company is acquired, promised yet unclaimed vacation is a liability reducing valuation. Unlimited vacation means the company has not promised a set amount for the year and thus is not liable for it, paradoxically.

This is definitely an interesting viewpoint, though if I could flip a switch and have all hate - the emotion - disappear in the world and be replaced with some constructive or milder alternative, what negative ramifications would it have? Obviously it would have a lot of positive ramifications. For example a lot of people who would love to currently kill you because they "hate" you would not want to anymore.

Can you name any negative ramifications to flipping that switch? If not, then why not reduce hate through various means?
So, I'm probably not a whole lot older than you, I was born around the time Reagan was first elected. but I do consider myself a fan of history. my perception is that the time between somewhere around '80 and the 2008 crash was a rightward[1] cycle of the pendulum of public opinion, at least on economic issues,[2] and that before that, when my parents were youngsters, there was a lot more support for a safety net and for wealth redistribution in general.

My feeling is that the 2008 crash and the lopsided[3] recovery from same has... given rise to the sorts of economic feelings that were popular in the '70s and before. Sanders isn't particularly radical by '70s standards, but compared to anyone who had a shot during my lifetime? he is extremely radical.

[1]I like using "left" and "right" because their meanings are less complicated than "liberal" and "conservative" (essentially, on which side of the Legislative Assembly would you sit?)

[2]- of course, we're talking about economics only, to the extent that you can talk about economics without talking about social issues. I have a much harder time supporting the claim of a leftwards social push during the same time.

[3]by lopsided, I mean that some areas, and some people have done pretty okay. I certainly can't complain about my position. For that matter, compared to 2001? 2008 wasn't a crash for me and the people I hang out with at all. But, I am given to understand that others aren't so lucky.

I just benchmarked my shiny new Asus Chromebook Flip (4-core ARM) against my ludicrously overpowered desktop (12-core Xeon E5-1650). I ran povray --benchmark, so it was a float-heavy number-crunching exercise.

The figures were about 1500 CPU-seconds for the desktop and 3000 CPU-seconds for the Chromebook. Of course, wall-clock time was significantly less for the desktop due to having many more cores, but that's showing that per-core, the high-end Intel was only about twice as fast as the ARM.

I do development work on the Chromebook, via a Debian chroot inside Crouton. And you know what? It's fine. It's probably the fastest laptop I've ever owned. The filesystem's a little slow, but compilation speeds are perfectly adequate.

>Correlation is not causation though, so it could be the other way round: reported anti-Muslim crimes lead to a spike of interest in the subject, not necessarily the other way round.

Yeah, but my point is we could just use mere prior knowledge of how the world works to rule that out. I wouldn't expect many people to be typing "kill muslims" in order find muslim related hate-crime reports, especially in the aftermath of an terrorist attack attributed to muslims (and I wouldn't expect reality to be counter-intuitive to such an expectation either).

Sex toy startup seeking investment, where do we look?
Hi,

My name is Eric, and I'm based in Sweden. 1,5 years ago, me and my partner had an idea for a new type of adult toy for women. We made a prototype and gave it to a couple of friends and strangers for testing, and it turned out that we had found an innovation in the most fundamental part of the toy, which showed really really good results amongst our testers. The product is simple (key feature), discrete and relatively cheap to produce. We have a pending patent.

We spent the last 1,5 years developing this product, and have now reached a partnership with a big brand in this space who are willing to sell this product under their name. We have a production line ready. What we need now is money to produce the first batch. Does anyone know where we could look for an investor who would be willing to enter the space of adult toys with us? Where do we look?

Thanks.

./drive_yourself --side-of-the-road=left

Let's hope there weren't any assumptions baked in as to which side of the road you have to drive on. Google is absolutely right to start testing in all modes of driving, the UK (and the other countries where you drive on the left side of the road) are a major concern for auto manufacturers targeting those markets because of the need to switch over the steering wheel and pedal box. This causes all kinds of headaches (for instance, the steering housing turns the other way, you can't just flip that) and I imagine that if taken for granted that 'it will work' software will contain all kinds of subtle issues that might lead to trouble.
Note that this demo ran at 35fps (intended for a 70Hz CRT), but the videos are 30fps or 60fps, and 35 is not an integer multiple of 30 or 60. This means the frame timing in the video is uneven (even before playback timing problems). Motion quality isn't as good as the 60fps original game, but it's not as bad as it looks in the video.

> When did hate become a crime? Why is it suddently a crime to hate somebody, who declares their commitment to killing you, raping your wife, selling your kids for slaves and taking your property?

It's not a crime, but (according to the article), there's a direct correlation between this kind of hate and this kind of crime.

On the other hand, I would like to see data that proves or disproves correlation between spread of Islam and homophobia, for example. Unfortunately, even asking this question would most likely attach label of "islamophobe" to me in the eyes of a lot of people, which already know "what I really think".

Of course it is. Otherwise there would be little basis for the article.

Trying some simple this-based class/instance-construction in the constructor leads to the whole thing failing:

var Person = function (name) {
console.log('This is the constructor.');

var _name = name;

this.getName = function() {
return _name;
};
};

Since this is 1 of the 2 patterns for creating classes, and the only one which supports encapsulation, it seems like a strange omission.

Especially so if the goal is to migrate "old" javascript to get it "modern". Migrating bleeding edge JS to even more bleeding edge JS hardly seems like a very worthwhile endeavour.

> But there is a price to be paid, and that's the restriction to constructive logic.

That's the price on the proof side. The price on the program side is the need to encode complexity in the types because C-H is about abstract programs, not computations.

Otherwise, the existence of a computation is entirely ignored except where it may break the logic's consistency in the case of non-termination, but from the computation's perspective, a long computation and a non-terminating one are the same. The result is that you can "prove" the correctness of programs that are effectively non-computable, i.e. programs that don't encode effective computations (by effective computation I mean one that terminates before the end of the universe, but it could be exchanged with more practical definitions).

Always getting 'app.js:22 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'kind' of undefined' :-(

However, I doubt that I would use it - most of the 'modernizations' are really dependent on the context of each change and require some tweaking.

For instance, ES6 classes do not allow for inline computed methods:

const x = function () {};

x.prototype.a = wrapFunction(function(){});

--- this is impossible: ---

class x {
a() wrapFunction(function(){}); // invalid :-(
}

So we're still required to use the explicit prototype way of declaring the class.

Then you can't just rewrite all methods to arrow functions because they don't have prototypes, even when they're really tempting:

var x = function () {};
x.prototype.a = <foo>;

--->

var x = () => {};
x.prototype.a = <foo>; // cannot set a of undefined

Hate is a weapon. They point their hate at me; I point my hate at them.

If all guns suddently disappear, it's benign.

But don't persuade me to lower my gun because weapons are dangerous and killing people is immoral - unless the other side lowers their guns at the same time (or before).

If all muslims stop hating non-muslim (fueled by salafi doctrine), and if all christians stop hating people for abortions, admitting of human evolution or whatever - for real! - then I will have no reason to dislike any of them.

>How US can only require $35k liability cover is beyond me. Does that not mean that in pretty much any accident you have to pay extra out of your own pocket?

Generally speaking, only poor people carry the minimum liability insurance. Everyone else carries limits closer to yours, at least for damage to people; I mean, doing 3 million in damage to a human, I can see that. Doing that much damage to property would be... completely destroying a really nice house, which is unlikely. Also, by American standards, your rates look unrealistically low. maybe you could get something close to your level of liability coverage for that much every month.

But... uh, yeah, this brings up another point (and why I don't know how much just a few million in liability would cost) - everyone who isn't poor here carries what's called "uninsured motorist" coverage... this is essentially insurance that covers damage to me if someone with minimum coverage is at fault and I get hurt and they can't pay.
I've had that exact same scenario about 4 years ago with a very large website (you've probably used them) which was put together in a hurry. The site was written in Java and each and every access to the database contained the exact same pre-amble, a bunch of database interaction with the aforementioned change to the where clause and then a cleanup section. Typically 50 to 100 lines. There must have been 100's of these copies in the code. In the end I moved the db open and close stuff to program startup and shutdown and replaced all the rest of it with a single function with a couple of parameters. The code suddenly became maintainable again.

> You can't convince me that worsening the experience on a device in 30 minutes (time for OTA update to finish) is to be expected. Example: iOS 9 update.

I can tell you that in the late '90s and early aughts, well, they weren't OTA updates; you actually paid for physical disks, but yes, worsening the experience was completely expected. that's why you bought a new computer at the same time.

I am telling you it's the same idea.
There are just too many edge cases. I believe, that we'll get some kind of hybrid solution: computer drives on the highway during daytime otherwise drivers takes over.

In Switzerland we have those wonderful pass roads. On one side you have the mountain, on the other side there's nothing. Never in my life would I let a computer drive down that road with my family in it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDilGBIiKxI

Sometimes roads are so narrow, that drivers naturally honk while going round corners. If there's a honk back you gotta slow down. Now add some snow fall and fog and drive down in the night. Good luck!
So, we disagree. I'll just state my own viewpoint and you can consider it and think about it, and I'll keep yours in mind as well.

To briefly state what I personally believe (my own viewpoint) I don't think you need to point hate at hate to cure hate. If illiteracy is a problem, you don't need to attack it with illiteracy. Schoolteachers don't need to be illiterate, so they can solve illiteracy by pointing illiteracy at it.

Going to elementary school is mandatory in the United States, which has nearly a 100% basic literacy rate. So we solved this problem with laws. Hate is like illiteracy, in my opinion.

at any rate we fundamentally view the situation differently, use and think about different analogies, and so forth. it's probably not great to have a debate here, so we should just think about each other's viewpoints without convincing one another. I'll keep yours in mind as well.
arc4random_uniform() is the only one that really addresses the matters in this proposal, and arc4random_uniform() can't handle values larger than 2^32-1 (and, in fact, thanks to the wonders of overflow, might do some unfortunate things in a variety of cases), and won't produce values greater than 2^32-2.

So yeah, not exactly addressing the matter.

Of course, that whole arc4* library doesn't have the same challenges as a language standard, which is where a lot of the challenge here comes from.
