TED-ED video about the subject : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixIoDYVfKA0
can you please reread this thread from the top, to see how we got here?

you've written a lot just now - but it completely moves the goalposts. You think we're discussing something more, or different, than what we're discussing. We're discussing selling arsenic-laced apples. You're discussing something different now, but here's why I said you were acting like a living, breathing, moving straw man upthread:

Let's say I were debating government regulation of food with someone, and I said: "There are people who say '"it's OK to sell an arsenic laced Apple as long as it has a warning on it.", writing "Of course I can. If it's labeled, why not? Maybe somebody wants an arsenic apple; I don't know.". I would now like to address this point...."

Then my opponent would interrupt me: "Objection! Wait! Nooooo, that is a straw man! Nobody on Earth seriously believes it's okay to sell arsenic appples as long as they're labelled. I didn't say this! Nobody said this! This is not a position anyone has. You are arguing against a straw man! You're arguing against a wall."

Yet, here we are. I quoted you stating that position. That's what we're discussing. Whether it's okay to sell arsenic-laced apples "as long as they're labelled."

--> Perhaps we're agreed that it's not okay, and that this shouldn't suddenly be legal?

You've raised interesting points about e coli, about unhealthy foods that cause a slow death. Personally, I haven't said anything in this thread about regulation and labeling of these things, except perhaps that the government isn't currently doing it. (not a normative statement.)

About error reporting in nw.js, it's just like working with chrome (chromium), you see JS errors in: developer tools > console tab.

I doubt brain volume shrinkage in itself is alarming - it could well be a physical effect from the shaking or something akin to dehydration (I know the brain is suspended in liquor).

Or, like with other automated equipment, people learn to not do stupid behavior that will get them run over.

For example, we all just know not to step in front of a train. We have NO EXPECTATION it can stop. Do accidents happen? Yes, but only at the fault of the pedestrian (intentional or not).

If we all know that every car won't stop for us in between crosswalks, we may still jaywalk but we'll be danmed sure a self-driving car isn't coming. Right now a lot of people jaywalk and are overconfident if a car is coming it'll stop.

Show HN: MongoDB monitoring as a service
Short answer:
I'm sorry, I'm against the tech/business approach of this project.

Notes:
I'm an ambient electronic music maker (and software maker too). I saw a lot of similar projects since Brian Eno's generative music project. I have been also interested in making algorithmic music (using some AI/artificial neural network schemas), using amazing Supercollider, for a while.
I never achieved interesting results, in terms of "deep energy" instead "embedded" when music is made by "special" humans (so called "artists").
Full stop.

Experimenting soundscapes CREATION, in recent years I was back to what I call (along with Steve Roach): "analogic approach": sonic seeds as analogic waves (electro-acoustic) -> (digital) elaborations made by human(s) artist. No MIDI. No "samples" usage as-is. No presets.

I could call the musical secret as a case of human intelligence: "search and discovery" of unknown.
Because, this is the point, music is discoveryng of mistery.

BTW, I do not want to enter in the loyality-free / real-time composition topic. So long discussed for so many years among electronic music communities!
Good music, is like science inventions: come from "singularities".

That said, an interesting point, for me, is the fact Artificial Intelligence could help musicians to make music. Ok, but this is another story, another vision of what music is,
for humans,
for machines

The harsh circumstances probably meant they had to have a better product to survive. Higher employee costs, and a time zone 12 hours different means you HAVE to work/manage more efficiently.
Because Atlasssian offers other products and so the impetus is to get them as well. It's not worth it to pay for Jira because why do that when you can just turn ServiceNow into... a development CMDB time tracking thing with a mere few tens of millions of effort.

Look, I didn't say management was smart. That's just the dumb way they look at it.
"I think the way Go addresses concurrency is simple and straight-forward. It's trivial to write concurrent applications."

Except when it is not. Message passing style of concurrency is just a dual of the classical blocking concurrency with critical sections, mutexes, monitors and conditional variables. An actor is a dual of a critical section. Actor's mailbox is a dual of a mutex. Sending/receiving messages is a dual of wait/notify. With any complex CSP program you can have all the same problems: race conditions, starvation, deadlocks (livelocks) etc.
Interview with the co-founder and co-CEO of Taiga.io
Most embeddable webviews allow binding additional methods that call into native though. This is how cordova works, in fact. If you're restricting access to local html/js, it shouldnt be any different to nw/electron from a security perspective.

It all depends on the motives of the owner.

I think in general the cars will be programmed to avoid any damage.

But what if a company starts providing rides that promise no injury will happen to the passenger?

That's why laws are needed to prevent this from happening in the future.

Side note: in The Netherlands we have an automated sea barrier [1]. The system is made automatic so nobody has to make the decision to close it. So yeah, some systems are programmed to save peoples lives even if this means the lives of others can't be saved.

How-To Install Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) Stack on Ubuntu 15.04
My concern with this (and my general pet peeve with the "user stories" in software engineering) is: how do we make sure the "user stories" are faithful to real-world usage of the software being built? tl;dr: how do we know the user stories are relevant?

The article defines user stories as "simple scenarios told from the point of view of a person using the software. There can be many types of users for an application". This is very, very problematic. How can I be sure that software developers are able to walk on the shoes of the user? That they even know who are the real users? Their needs, their context?

I have little to no faith in user stories, on software development. It takes a lot of UX knowledge and experience to be able to faithfully depict scenarios and personas, and even more so to have the maturity to do such things grounded on data and not on our preconceptions. I just can't assume software developers will have this kind of knowledge and experience and, as such, user stories will end up being a reflex of their preconceptions, not of the real-world usage of the software.

I spent a week or two looking into and evaluating micro payments for news, and I share your concerns.

The line I hear out of Blendle though is that it's part of an ecosystem, i.e. one avenue of payment options. I can imagine a one-off paywall working for some content, but I doubt it will be the dominant method of choice.

Newspapers are only half entertainment, but the entertainment industry pivoted from per-product to aggregated subscription in the age of the Internet. Of course Blendle itself is a platform, tweaking its business model should be within scope.
That's a dodge. Does the law require running over children or driving off a cliff?

The law distinguishes between deliberate actions and accidents in which there isn't time to decide. But a car will not have the luxury of a jury understanding that it panicked.

> And well, he's right. Once you have programmed the car, it will respond deterministically to inputs.

This is true, but that doesn't mean that the response is based on the car making moral decisions about the value of the human lives involved.

As the commenters below mentioned, the technology doesn't even exist at this point to do anything other than avoid the object in front of you and try not to crash while doing it. Sometimes this may result in a dead pedestrian and sometimes this may result in a dead occupant. That isn't the car making a moral judgement, it's just collision avoidance.

> I think instead of that, there should be spaces smaller than a studio apartment that are transition spaces. They should be private, but perhaps clustered so that there is a support network there. People should be given help on how to do things, simple things like how to shop and eat better, how to take care of a home and manage the utilities and bills, how to basically live normally again and construct those routines. How to not shrink into that space and be alone.

It's completely different. Yahoo is not splitting up its core businesses.

They're taking a non-core asset (the Alibaba stake) that they can't sell without incurring a huge tax bill, and separating it from yahoo Core so that they can hand it over to Yahoo's shareholders (presumably in the hope that someone else - e.g. Alibaba - will step up to acquire it, thus unlocking the value for the shareholders), and re-focus on Yahoo's core businesses again.

There is a separate issue that the core of Yahoo is performing poorly, and that fact may well result in Yahoo Core being split up and sold off but it's important now to conflate the two issues.
Can anybody who understand the market give me a reason as to why aren't smart roads built simultaneously to these driverless cars? I mean, why focus on making a car able to 'see' rather than being able to communicate with it's infrastructure?

The reasons I thought of:

1. As mentioned - building/upgrading infrastructure is probably much more expensive and logistically elaborate.

2. Market penetration - current batch of driverless cars can drive on existing infrastructure - no need to wait.

3. If smart cars won't be usable dumb roads it will also be hard to sell

4. Smart, durable, cost-effective infrastructure hasn't been solved.

I'd go bit further.

Let's assume everybody agreed with the "Really try hard to not be a jerk!" and everybody would have 100% similar general picture of what is moral.

Two people still interpret a situation from two points of view. Both making the judgement that the other guy is out of bounds. Which justifies some apprehension. But they both experience wrongful apprehension, which justifies pretty big apprehension. Which could result in full riot.

My point is that you cannot talk about ethics from individual point of view and expect to solve problems. You have to take into account societies as whole. Then consider with how it's done in practice. Ethical society cannot exist without good laws and good guardians for those laws. (And with 99% of population behaving good 99% of the time.)

Skeptical is not enough. Society has to be a instant jerk towards individuals who try to jerk around. Clear cut boundaries are needed, so you know to stay inside them.

I'd say there is no place for moral relativism inside a country. But between countries it's even necessary.

"i was told not to moderate for signal-to-noise"

I am not a moderator, but that was my impression (and hope) for how the moderators would act. To determine what is signal and what is noise would be to inject subjectivity into the decision.

There is nothing about this new email that I would consider on-topic. But under the circumstances I wouldn't consider it disruptive either (on-list replies might be; watch out for them). And arguments could be made that using a communication medium other than the one Satoshi has traditionally used would be more disruptive, even if this email would be more on topic at bitcoin-discuss, due to the speculation that might ensue.

It is also worth pointing out that the system of moderation is that a person's FIRST post to the mailing list is moderated. After passing that hurdle your emails are auto-approved until such time as a moderator choose to re-enable moderation. It is because we changed servers that the satoshi email address was considered a 'new' user. This is also the case of everyone else, including me. But I hope the irony of Satoshi being subject to moderation because he is a 'new' user is not lost?

Anyway, the best reason for not moderating was that such a message had potential to keep people from getting hurt. I can only speculate that to be the reason Satoshi (if it is Satoshi) intervened at all. We don't know for sure, and it may even be low probability, but interfering with the distribution of that email could have gotten people hurt.
