Emergency brake should not be compared with fully autonomous drive. Emergency brake is there to reduce the risk in case of driver error, given that the driver has already made an error. You should not need to know whether it's installed or not because you should not be making errors in the first place.

Let's say for sake of simplicity that the system can reduce the risk with 50%. Under normal driving conditions when the risk of hitting somebody is say 0.0001%, you instead get 0.00005%, that can't be bad. If you provoke the system by actively aiming at a human you by definition have 100% risk of collision without the system, with it you have 50% of 100%=50%, I wouldn't want to be that pedestrian, even if the system could reduce down to 1%.

Autonomous drive on the other hand, you give the car control, as opposed to the car taking it from you (because you have been a bad driver). If you give the car control then you should know the systems limitations and which responsibilities you are giving away. What is control anyway? Is cruise control a half-assed version of autonomous drive or not?
<President Regan, who lowered the top tax to 28%, back in 1982>

First of all, Reagan lobbied for and signed the Act, but it came out of the (solidly) Democrat-controlled House.

Secondly, it dropped the top earned income tax rate to 50%[0], not 28%. That's a huge difference.

I feel like this is a part of a trend that reflects how github itself is changing - slowly making access to things harder, then finally removing it.

Github used to have an awesome and public way to explore projects (http://web.archive.org/web/20130730125837/https://github.com...) - I remember using it a lot to look for projects to learn to read code because it allowed me to easily find projects by language. They replaced it with a flashier, but in my experience, much less useful tool that you have no control over - https://github.com/explore .

I know I'm not the only one thinking of moving my repos to another provider or perhaps a self-hosted solution because of this direction.
I suppose you are pointing out that these are socialist countries and that poor people in them suffer a lot. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think that they aren't really socialist countries, I would point to places like Sweden and France as closer to actual socialism than North Korea, which is really a Fascist dictatorship explicitly modelled on pre-second world war Japan.

Vietnam is an odd one out here because having suffered a total catastrophe in the years running up to 1975 (as in the complete physical destruction of the state, mechanisms of production and the labour force via being killed in large numbers) the Vietnamese state has made huge progress to become relatively prosperous. There is a lot to be admired in terms of economic gain, although not much to be admired about freedom and safety for those with contrary views.
With regard to malware delivery via ad networks I'd think it would help already if web site providers where held accountable for all content delivered via their site. I don't understand that there hasn't been a law suit over this yet.
The 10 Most Important Things in Presenting Today
The attacker is not going to keep the SHA256 hashes, but the whole of the original /boot. (Where, you're asking? Anywhere you forgot Ring 0 could store data, and a few places you never even knew about.) Subsequently, he will intercept system calls to open(2) and friends, and serve the saved data. This is a fairly old technique: on the first page of a Google search[1], you can find a Phrack article from 2009[2]. In fact the seminal work I believe is Reflections on Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson, set in print in 1984.

Menikmati Rangkaian Suatu agen bola terpercaya indonesia
That would be cool, but the devil is in the details. For one thing, does the "upload" wait for at least one "download" to connect? Or does "upload" go to a cache that is re-used for all subsequent downloads? What are the timeouts? E.g. how long would blah.com hold the upload connection open until (at least one) download opened up?

The other thing that makes it less cool is that it's a hack that would be better off not existing. The ideal case is that every device should have a unique ID, such that we can directly "subscribe" to anything on any device without using an intermediary (well, an application level intermediary anyway; you'll always be using link-level intermediaries). Such an ID might be IPv6, in which case such a service is trivially replaced with ordinary every day ssh/scp.
The Linguistic Appeal of 'Garbage Person,' the Internet's Favorite Insult
I really wonder what the rationale behind this move is. I wouldn't even have noticed as I'm practically always logged in, but was that search bar lowering the conversion rates to free users, or what?
Why do you link to uBlock instead of uBlock Origin? I thought uBlock Origin from the original developer is to be preferred, and that uBlock is no longer actively developed and the donations for uBlock do not benefit the actively maintained uBlock Origin.
They're not wrong. Nobody is going to pay $50 to rent a movie, so all that it's going to do is create a new avenue for instant, high-quality leaks.
News to me. I don't think that was the case at the time. I'll switch to origin. Looks like the link I was using just redirects to the new site.
OTOH, a trend towards self hosted solutions will only make finding projects to explore harder.
Repeater Control in Ionic Framework with Refresh
Big difference with curl.io is that you don't need to register the file upfront.
For Slovenia it's because the largest operator Mobitel (now part of Telecom of Slovenia) had a rather large mobile base station and service deployment in the region. The base stations were directly managed from Slovenia even before the split and were now assigned the slovenian prefix.
Yeah, but the thing is that with transfer.sh you don't have to install any applications on your machine. And if you look at the code, you'll see that the max size isn't being enforced.
I have not owned a DVD player for 5 years. Even my parents have converted to streaming services and iTunes for purchases.
That quantizes the gradient for compression of the communication between nodes, which is cool, but each node must still calculate a 32 bit floating point gradient locally. What GP is asking for is a way to avoid having any floating point math at all.

If you could implement training with only single-bit operations rather than floating point math, a hardware implementation could be several orders of magnitude faster and more efficient than current CPUs/GPUs. That would certainly usher in a revolution in computer architecture.
For points 1) and 4), just so you are aware, "they" as a singular pronoun has been in popular use since the 14th century. The idea that the "correct" gender neutral singular pronoun is "he" came about in the 19th century. I find it much harder to support the idea that "'they' is supposed to be plural" with this in mind.

A few explanations you can add for more-falsehoods.rst:

> 15. Unix time is the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970.

The section you quote from Wikipedia shows why this one is false: leap seconds. Similar to how the number of hours between 00:00 and 3:00 in most of the United States depends on whether the timezone remains constant, springs forward, or falls back, the number of seconds between two Unix timestamps depends on how many leap seconds were inserted or deleted in that time frame.

> 16. The day before Saturday is always Friday.

This one is true only within the assumption but I'm not sure if the falsehood is literally false. When Alaska did the calendar change it had two consecutive Fridays (October 6th & 18th, 1867). This gives us the day after Friday not being Saturday but technically not the day before Saturday not being Friday. The falsehood still holds in spirit (outside of the assumption), of course, and it's possible somewhere else had it be true in practice as well.

> 27. The weekend consists of Saturday and Sunday.

The weekend differs across the world. Friday and Saturday is another popular one but Brunei gets a special shout out for having a Friday and Sunday "weekend" with Saturday being a working day.

> 59. DST is always an advancement by 1 hour

As far as I know, this is currently true if you aren't dealing with historical datetimes but Singapore will mess you up with historical data. They had a really odd case[1] where they went on DST by advancing 20 minutes and then ended DST without changing the clock at all.

As danmaz74 said, this will fragment the open source scene over multiple platforms which makes it harder to discover. Github always felt nice as a home for all these projects, I don't get the need for this move either.
They must know that people contributing to open source rather not want their stuff to be hidden behind some wall. I just wish they would have continued their offering, in my books they were the good guys, helping open source to new hights but also do well on a business side. I guess I was wrong.
New Zealand has this too with at least one number: *555 for reporting dangerous drivers.

It's ok to make fun of everybody. That is comedy. That is life.

Stereotypes are funny, but there is an unclear line where it goes from funny to offensive. Kind of like with obscene language or imagery.

Thing of it is -- is that line is different for everyone. but it will be a cold day in hell before I let you draw that line for me.
I don't keep track, but when was the last time a major film wasn't pirated on release or even before release?

Is additional piracy really a major concern with this?
This is not true at all, there is a well-defined H1-B transfer process that I've used myself. Your new employer petitions USCIS for a transfer (similar to filing a new petition, but cheaper), and you can switch jobs once it's approved.

The problem for people in my position is there is no legally available downtime. If you get fired, or quit so you can search for a new job, you no longer have a right to remain in the US. There is no way to fix this without entirely redefining what the visa is supposed to be for: a particular employer being unable to find local employees to fill a position.
This is one-sided. A lot of modern consumer advertising and especially web advertising works this way, but there is also the goal of simply letting someone know a service or product exists (and might fill a need they presently have).

The problem is this is a lot like search on the internet - if Google were "perfect", advertising wouldn't work, because it would always find exactly what you were looking for exactly when you needed it.
A bit ironic then that the overall tax burden was rather higher than the previous Labour government for most of her time as PM:

"The tax burden (measured by the Institute for Fiscal Studies in the form of total government receipts as a share of national income) started at just above 40 per cent in 1979, peaked at 45.4 per cent in 1982, then fell below 40 per cent in 1990."

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/10-things-you-...

What she did do was reduce the silly taxes on higher level of income - but those taxes were just imposed on poorer people.
I think the newness about this is that they've released the code on github under MIT, so you can self-host the service if you want. I think none of the othe rprojects mentioned here have are opensource or have a slef-hosted version.
I always wonder how sites like these deal with stuff like potentially hosting child porn/other content that is illegal to possess. Does DCMA safe harbor stuff cover it? (don't see a DCMA notice on the site)

Could you be bit more specific about this?
This is why I like open-source and the community we are creating with it. If you don't like something or if you don't agree, start making changes right away.

Don't like what it has become? Change it again.

Between all the flaming going back and forth, we still respect each other and work on making the world a better place, one line of code at time.
You can use netcat for that. Or Bash has built-in TCP support.
I was always puzzled how people in the US are quick to spend on credit, and not worry too much...
In a lot of ways, FBF animation has never been disrupted so much as just temporarily displaced by other techniques for reasons of efficiency. The animator still has to make good design decisions up front so that the figure construction works and objects move in a perceptually believable way. Everything else - whether it's rotoscoping or tweening or something else - assists, but doesn't aim to truly emulate the thought process that a traditional animator uses, so you get different results that are often more mechanically precise but less interesting to watch.
Movie theaters (the cineplex kind that also show major first-run Hollywood movies, not just arthouse ones) in the US already show live events (particularly art events -- live theater and other performances -- but I think there has been some sport events, as well), and there are several (including at least one chain) that have full menues, including alcohol, for at-seat service.

So what you are saying needs to happen already is happening.

You can do that with netcat if either A or B are listening.

Tracking down India's $4 smartphone
I thought that too, but then I remembered that for a family of four, a trip to the movies can easily exceed that much, especially for a 3D movie. AMC charges ~$15 for kids and ~$18 for adults. That's $66 before you even get to the snack bar.
This is really cool and after reading the article, I'm left with the desire to ask a bit more.

A game like 2048 is pretty straight forward and after you figure it out (i.e. you understand the 4 pieces of advice the AI figured out) the game feels like mostly chance (as the article states).

>Some games ended in a few minutes due to a series of unfortunate random tile spawns, while others nearly lasted 4 hours and reached scores previously thought impossible.

So is the AI's strength in this instance that it's relentless and doesn't get tired? Or does it have a few other insights on the game that most humans miss? Are there other comparisons of other AI's and where their advantage comes from? (strategy vs. endurance) Or is the AI's outcome distribution very similar to a sampling of human outcomes?

yeap, that part really made me go look at his profile.

The point is not to include validation rules that will fail for well formed data.
Two things seem worth mentioning:

1. The usual suspects that petition Congress for more H1-B visas seem to be paying their employees at or above market.

2. Several Indian IT body shops are spamming the process, vastly reducing the effective slots available for the group above. Infosys, for example filed several applications for "Systems Engineers", whatever that means, in San Francisco, paying 74k$[1]

Searching by title, Infosys seems to be the only company hiring people for the role, I wonder prevailing wage determination works in these cases :-) [2]

One of the great western habits I inherited after living in the US for 15 years, is the use of the credit card for everything, and then just paying a single bill (the credit card) every month. If you do it properly, it can really increase the quality of your life - rewards, points, etc. - and it can also be very, very dangerous for the undisciplined and income-averse ..
In Japan, hand-drawn animation is still king. They use a lot of specialized software to cut the costs though. Then there are Korean studios which produce relatively cheap hand-drawn animation for both Japan and the West.
Show HN: Product reviews web application
Hello,

Here is a web application for running a customer reviews web site for products.

http://appsbits.com/product_reviews

Feel free to try it out online by adding a product, writing reviews, adding images, favoriting, reporting etc and say here in comments what you think.
You can register as a user or login to admin panel with user/pass: admin/admin (http://appsbits.com/product_reviews/admin)

It has a web installer so that user just needs to upload files and set some writting permsions for a few files and directories and install it via web. The app has been done using Laravel PHP framework.

What do you think?

If you are Standard Oil and are vastly larger than whoever it you are trading with, have a huge legal team and no doubt some friendly judges handy.

Mind you - I have worked with very senior people who would avoid putting things in writing and then a few months later always have a notably different account of conversations than I did. At first I thought I was actually forgetting things until I realised it's a trick used by overly political types.

Actually I meant without having to write it all (especially as artists have a few names, e.g. with different initials). So e.g. after writing "Rammstein" I would be getting "Rammstein - Sonne", "Rammstein - Amerika" etc.

So, something Google-like rather than SQL-query-like.
Or create the demand for an index/curation platform/search engine, which would be something quite interesting, I think.
This logic always sounds good but I have a hard time really placing times when even in retrospect I lacked some wisdom from doing in order to apply the theory.

I've had plenty of times where I lacked both the theory and the scraped elbows (creating shared state clusterfucks that seemed clever at the time), and times when I was missing the theory alone (mechanically reaching for the OO hammer because there was a nail-shaped screw in front of me).

In all programming instances I can think of where I had the theory but not the experience I knew that there was a lot I didn't know and read about the implementation issues and went and bothered smarter people about it. Of course I wr[i|o]te plenty of shitty code in various contexts. I guess we can say that's the experience happening, but that's a bit unsatisfying as a model.

With the theoretical learning you get measurably better: if you've literally never even heard of time complexity, or read the latency numbers everyone should know, you're more likely to write some code with some garbage performance. Once you know about it you're unlikely to write grossly nested loops making unnecessary un-batched requests to servers 12 timezones away, or if you do you'll at least feel gross about it and it will be a (bad) choice not a mistake.

With experience with a particular technology you do as well. Knowing the Widget API inside out and knowing which Widget calls are lazy vs eager and which get cached or whatever are going to improve your code and get it written faster, but the gains are much more marginal than the theoretical knowledge. With enough practice learning new APIs gets easier. Remembering arbitrary incantations is something everyone eventually gets fairly good at. I think most of HN would do very well at Hogwarts. Assuming you already know how to program, I bet just reading something like Clean Code is likely to improve your JS quality more than an equivalent time spent churning out new JS (even though the example language in CC isn't JS so any benefit would be ported through theory).

It's very cheap to implement theoretical concepts in practice and I think a lot of dismissiveness towards "theoretical" things are defensive insecurities and/or lazy, probably at the same rate that "premature optimization" is utilized in such causes. Software has a very narrow gulf between practical and theoretical.

In domains where experience and theory are farther apart I propose that it's not so much experience being better than theoretical knowledge, rather the theoretical knowledge is frequently just plain wrong or extended beyond its applicability.

Look at the FBI's terrible high-school surveillance program that was linked here recently. It's based off of really garbage pseudo-science concerning extremist radicalization. There is better, more modern research on the subject, which should be used instead, but even then caution should prevail and less theoretical and more informed logic and experienced based decisions might ultimately be wiser. In a healthy field of study and practice, as time goes on and more data gets accumulated theory increasingly approaches reality.
You do know that processes in a Docker container are regular processes right? They just have a different namespace. They are as "close to the hardware" as all of your other processes. I'm not sure how you'd go about using your own TCP stack, but if you can do it with a normal process you can do it inside a Docker container.
