sorry, didn't get you on this one. Example?

> Tree-shaking and static analysis are only possible with CommonJS/AMD if you strictly limit them to declarative-style use: imports at the top-level only, exports as a literal, etc. Deviate from that and tools trip up. In that case, it's better to have a new, clear, declarative-only syntax.

Agreed with the former part, but I am not sure how the new syntax is better and clear. Infact the new syntax imposes limitations. The old regular would just not optimize in some cases. You won't lose anything or any optimization.

Further, the "top-level" only is a bit of an itch. I want to be able to do this:

if (DEBUG) {
import 'something';
}

which is a common usecase and something the builder can easily remove at build time. But ES treats that as a syntax error. The "old" way doesn't have this limitation. Surely the builder's grammar can be extended to support this with the new syntax, but it just feels more magical and weird.

You/someone might very well have an answer for that - honest question, not mocking :)

A small cup of rolled oats and milk or water.

Doesn't taste like much (this is a feature here), doesn't induce sickness easily, takes no time to prepare, is very mobile (can be carried around while getting dressed), gives sufficient energy and is easy to eat without appetite. My go-to solution when I need to have food but really don't want to. Plus it stores really well if you use water, so no need to get fresh ingredients.
I disagree that it is implausible; I find it quite likely (I just deleted a comment that mirrored gburt's).

That it happens when you need to throw a punch is not evidence of intent, as that is a pre-determined sequence. There are likely only so many sources of random-looking behavior available, so it's quite reasonable that a background character's movement would be tied to the same source as the source that determines how often the boss is vulnerable.

edit: To clarify, the two events are clearly linked, but that does not mean they were intended to be linked. I am in agreement with Zikes' reply.
Uber isn't a taxi company, and wheelchair access is a very small percentage of customers. Also, Uber's 5-6 years old, give them a chance to fix that problem in the coming months/years before crying foul along with a bunch of monopolists like the taxi companies. They have done nothing for us, except sit on their monopolies. The number of times I was passed by open taxis on the street, or stuck waiting hours for a scheduled taxi makes me glad they are all going out of business.
The answer, of course, is that slower and less-frequent deployments mean slower progress building a better platform and delivering new features. If breakages could lead to plane crashes then, obviously, we'd want them to slow down. But if it mainly means no one can listen to Spotify for 15 minutes then that calls for a different trade-off.

As a founder of a startup that hosts services on GCE I'm happy with the trade-off they've chosen.
Yeah and it's funny how people seem to have some level of tolerance for death-by-design-flaws-in–hardware but somehow, software is a different kind of engineering endeavor. My guess is this will persist for some time, but eventually even out.

I get contacted by internal company recruiters on LinkedIn. I've found my last two jobs that way.

I've owned a kindle paperwhite since 2013, it works fine tbh I don't feel the need to upgrade. Even the touted 10 LED backlight on the Oasis is meaningless to me, I never use the backlight on my Kindle as it is.

The thing that is frustrating me more and more about the Kindle (and e-readers in general) is the amount of books still not available as ebooks, I don't understand why publishing houses like Penguin books have such a mixed bag when it comes to having a Kindle offering for some titles.
That goes both ways though. "well if I had signed that hypothetical agreement that I had some ownership, then I would have some ownership."
Agree how helpful a total break for a week can be.

I've always found it odd that the USA only gives two weeks annual holiday (plus public holidays). Someone finding a new job just to get a week off seems really inefficient - it probably takes months for their replacement to be hired an up to speed. Easier to give the current employee time off.

Although all my permanent jobs have been in the UK with four or five weeks annual leave plus bank holidays.
Doesnt the voyage have the ability to turn pages without this awkward touchscreen of the paperwhite?
If I understand OP correctly, he was specifically concerned about eating them while they are still alive and made no judgement in their comment on eating them while they are already dead.

Most carnivores would probably agree that it's cruel to cut your bacon from a live pig, yet would eat bacon cut from a dead one.
Sorry, I don't know of any that do that directly.

KOReader can sync with Calibre on the desktop, so you could perhaps set that up as a passthrough. Or you could use something like BookDrop [1] or IFTTT that sends ebooks from Dropbox to the Kindle over Amazon's WhisperSync service. Those are stored in the "documents" folder on the Kindle, where KOReader could read them as well as the stock reader app.

I think the most significant are the SAL version 2 annotations. This is a nice introduction : https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fp/courses/15122-f10/lectures/25-sal....

Not too sure. I just moved to the area 2 years ago so aside from basic rivalry knowledge I can only speak for UAB, where I graduated from. Excellent professors and a strong sense of community among the C.S. undergrads. Also home to a very active chapter of the ACM that holds upper-grad presentations for lower-grad students and regular one-on-one study sessions between the two.
To other replies, since we've reached max depth: yes, and that's why it makes no sense to me to equip such badly-spec'd vehicles with the self-driving bits first (Tesla S excluded). I drive a higher-than-normal performance vehicle for the exact reason that it gives me more options when I need to get out of a bad situation. I can out-break, out-swerve (more lateral grip), and out-accelerate most other cars on the road. The stopping distance (factor of tire grip and break power) has definitely helped me avoid accidents. Lower body roll = more grip during more extreme maneuvers + more control during them.

Top Gear discussed speed limits being set based on worst-case breaking distances. Here's an analysis of that: http://www.jmp.co.uk/forward-thinking/update/top-gear-and-sp... but TL;DR performance vehicles can be safer since they're more capable.

Think what an F1 or rally car could do with computers driving it and avoiding accidents.

These terms have legal meaning, and the deal is probably structured as a merger. Since GM is so much larger than Cruise, I would speculate that they're forming a new wholly-owned subsidiary that Cruise is merging into, or some other sort of triangular merger.
Well, I could be for sure. The new Pixar has a story has a central character that is an escape artists octopus. Certainly could be coincidental.
My understanding is that they've had issues with just some of their tests, not all of them. For instance, I wouldn't call Google useless if it couldn't answer reliably a small percentage of my queries. Yep, I know it's not a perfect analogy, but still.

Theranos could ditch the faulty tests and provide only those which are reliable, and the experience they would provide would still be superior to that of other labs, by a long shot.

Now if you want to question their honesty as a company, as a way of doing things, well, that's a different story.
Words are tricky. They don't have one true definition. What's accurate for one, may not be for another. Words have multiple, sometimes incompatible meanings, depending on context of discussion and participants. It's not really about completely random meanings that differ from person to person, but more about slightly different meanings that differ from culture group to culture group.

I see more and more that people attempt to devalue & derail statements made by others by making an offensive remark about semantics, instead of attempting to understand what was said.

It would be convenient if everybody used a single definition book for every word, however we don't live in such a reality. A "semantic nazi" is a person who goes around and tries to convert everyone to use their culture group's definition book. [1]

[1] I want to be clear that in this specific case the "render" definition extension was pointed out in a respectable manner and I wouldn't pin the nazi name on them for it.
It's the word "realtor" specifically--it's covered by a trademark.

> Isn’t the definition of REALTOR® anyone who has a real estate license?

> No. The definition of a REALTOR® is a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS® and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. The marks should not be used inadvertently and improperly to denote a vocation or business. A good rule to follow is if the term “Member” cannot logically be substituted for the term REALTOR®, then the term should not be used. Appropriate substitutions might include the phrases “real estate broker,” “real estate agent,” “real estate salesperson,” “property manager,” etc.

I think that the other part with insurance is that insurers have no idea what the risk involved actually is (since it's not been around long) so they aim way high to cover themselves.

while what you say makes intuitive sense, at least for the schools I want to go to? Tuition is extremely cheap for what it is.

http://financialaid.stanford.edu/undergrad/budget/

Seriously, $50K/yr tuition for Stanford? my undergrad would cost less than two Teslas. And while I've never owned a Tesla (or a college degree) I do imagine an undergrad from Stanford would be more fun than two Teslas, and it would certainly impress people more.

If you are an area computer nerd, even one without any degree at all, two teslas is a reasonable thing to own on what you can expect to get paid.

Berkeley? If you are an Engineer with no business ambitions, it's very nearly as good as Stanford (and some would argue better, but the majority view seems to be 'very nearly as good but not quite') Berkeley is under $15K/yr

http://financialaid.berkeley.edu/cost-attendance

I would be super happy to pay twice that, if they'd let me in.

That's the thing, I don't qualify for either of those institutions; and I can't imagine anyone who could compete with me job wise having a hard time paying for either one.

Of course, I understand that economics are vastly different outside of the computer industry, but I can't really speak to that, because I've never lived in that world.

I also think that the balance gets way different as you move down the rankings; I think that most of the colleges that would accept someone like me aren't worth the opportunity cost of the time I'd spend not working, at least if we're talking about economics. People are going to be way more impressed by four years at google or facebook than they will be impressed by a degree from a mid to low end school.
I went back to see if I could find where I read that and it was here:

Assuming bugs are never intentional and mostly random... Maybe instead of one autopilot software, self driving cars of the future will have several, developed by completely different teams. Then a self driving car can take some sort of average or most common output instruction (thus minimizing the risk of random bugs/edge cases...etc.)

The third one, "full personal, civic, and environmental responsibility for those decisions" would include criminal charges and jail-time for the decision to eat a human as it would constitute murder.

If someone said "I'm comfortable with the legal consequences of cannibalism and murder along with the possibility that the person may actually kill me before I get to them" and they actually are held to those postulations, including say, life-imprisonment AND they still want to do it all just so they can eat human for supper, then sure, go for it!

Frist makes sense on the board in that he definitely knows who to call at the FDA and would get his call answered. As unsavory as it is, lobbying experience is valuable in tightly regulated industries. I have no idea if he's a good doc, or the ethics of HCA, but from a purely pragmatic perspective, of all the names his makes the most sense on that board.

Sure, but commenters are going to ask questions like "who is moderating me" and "why am I allowed to moderate sometimes but not other times."

On Slashdot, the answers to these seemingly simple questions are quite complex, but generally understood and embraced by the audience. I'm not sure that would be the case on a site like the Guardian.

That said, you may be right that the benefits outweigh the confusion and that this could work fine at Guardian. (Although, even as a longtime Slashdot user, I have no idea what "upvote - consensus" means...)
I don't think that's a fair comparison here - what if they only spent 5 hours a week coding? Would they be able to say they have a year of experience after one year of that?

I think when it comes to work experience, a year of experience denotes a year of full time work.
Likely before we get to robocops the "robocops" will be integrated into people who have proven risky by either previously known behavior in addition to social signals.

So Jane truant with convictions of petty theft or battery gets off with probation if she agrees to embed her own personal "robocop". Yes invasion of privacy, etc. But the alternative for her would be time in the pen, for example. So in this case people can become their own robocops who turn the host in to authorities if certain conditions are met (engages in previously restricted activities).

I think this is more likely than a roving robotic cop which looks out for misdeeds.
"I’ve decided to say something before the lawyers can stop me."

Is this really a smart decision that the HN community should model? To view your friend's lawyers in a multi-million $ lawsuit as obstacles that should be routed around?

Posting to the HN community about this seems like an emotionally-driven decision. With so much at stake, wouldn't it be better to (a) follow your lawyer's advice and (b) do a post-mortem on it after the acquisition closes?

Thanks for responding to my questions. I like this discussion so I hope you won't mind me continuing it a bit further
1. Your response is valid for a developer/team creating a bot once standards are in place. This is not the case right now so any bots created right now will need to be refactored.

3. Your response is valid when a meta-bot is tracking bot usage and user feedback on bots. That's what I would call a warm ranking. However cold ranking is when a meta-bot is just starting up and has no usage data about the bots.

4. Even working as a pipe the meta-bot would need to figure out how to pipe the query to a bot especially consider this scenario: The user has asked "Book me 2 tickets and a hotel in San Diego for May 15th". The meta-bot has determined this is a travel query and found that Bot A is highest ranked for travel queries. It pipes the query to Bot A. However Bot A does not understand how to process this query because it excels at processing queries like "Book me 2 economy tickets and a 3 to 4 star hotel for 3 nights in San Diego" and it received high satisfaction ratings when it was queried like that. However in this vague query scenario Bot B does a much better job but the meta-bot won't know about it.

This is fascinating. I have an Amazon Echo and ever since I got it when it was not widely available I've been fascinated with the potential of it and Amazon went in the direction that I predicted it would with that. However Amazon Echo still uses APIs to interact with services and provides a nice NLP interface to it. This is a friction point for getting new things in the Echo and I have been wondering how to remove this friction.

Yes, this is the first two terms of the Taylor series near 0, so it works only at "low" speed.

For speeds that are close to c, you have to use another "Taylor" series to get a good approximation. If v is close to c, then the approximation of the correction is sqrt(2(c-v)/c). So at 99%c you get 4.5%.

To be fair, this is actually a problem with the environment that goes way beyond the individual pieces of content, and is one of the reasons that Alan Kay thought that the Internet was professional but the Web was amateurish.

Alan Kay's idea was (paraphrasing) "It's great that we have message passing between client and server processes, but we really needed to take this idea and run with it, with each piece of content on the Web being some sort of network-hosted process which you communicated with. Then you by-default preserve provenance (who the author is and how it got here) and then you can integrate micropayments into browsers so that you can earn money for watching ads (and target the ads that you want to watch!) and then use that money to browse the content that you want to watch, etc., with by-default the content-creator reaping the micropayments of their content."

But because nobody solved this rather difficult problem, we have freebooting and you have to reload web pages whenever you change their source and re-navigate down to the menu that you care about, and Brendan Eich is now getting flak from people for trying to reinvent advertising on the internet etc...

First, Now that you have an understanding of the type of boss you don't want, I would suggest trying to understand the type of boss that fits you. A bad boss to one might be motivating to another.
Ask questions like:
How do you support your team to be successful?
Tell me about a time when an employee impressed you?
I'm an average developer now but want to be great, can you help me get there? How?
How do you protect your team from outside distractions?
(most importantly) Why did you come to work here and what are you looking to achieve?

Not that these questions will fully determine the quality of the boss, but you can get a sense for the empathy previously mentioned by how they answer the questions.
While you're technically correct (the best kind of correct!) in that a year of experience assumes a 40 hour work week, I don't think anyone would let you add extra years. A year of experience just means you did that job for a year.

I'd recommend against doing that for a resume - you'll be seen as a liar.
