The problem to me seems like they are only offering political / locational zones. It does not seem like it would be a significant step backwards to offer an option to set your time zone to a manual fixed offset, which is all the people on the tracker seem to want.
Is that combating racism, or is it combating information? Is there such a thing as a racist fact?
Interesting. I just assumed it was homeless stealing that stuff directly. I've seen it happen in SF at Safeway and Walgreens a few times. (so just anecdotal data)

Actually once at the Safeway you're talking about. Last year I saw a man with an open duffle bag run out of there with security half heartedly following into the parking lot. They looked around for a few moments and went back in. Lots of homeless hang around there, especially by the Starbucks around the corner.

The Safeway (or Unsafeway as my wife calls it) near Japantown on Webster St is frequently a source of drama too. The last instance I saw was where a homeless woman got caught by a guard at the door with some items under her coat. She dropped to the ground screaming about being pregnant.
Sounds like they offered $4.5m ("triple the last offer" of $1.5m) to go away.

I assume the attorney would only make that statement if they had supportable documentation.

Given that Guillory appears to be a "needs a paycheck" guy that's an awful lot of money to walk away from without a damn good case.

If the parent didn't want to associate a group of people with stealing, they could have just started the quote at "gangs" and it would have worked just as well...

But really, any reader who doesn't already have racial prejudices will recognize that the operative word is "gangs", not "[ethnic group]". It's a bit of an insult to the sensibilities of HN readers, and it doesn't protect anyone from anything.

>Political parties are very interesting in the sense that they are not public; not really at all. (but they should be).

Please no. At its core, a political party is a group of people with common goals banding together to contest elections. Congress and the elections are the public institutions. How people choose to form alliances and contest those elections is a private matter. The only way to make political parties public is to ban private political parties, which should throw up all sorts of red flags in your head.

As for Citizens United, people forget that it's not just about big for-profit companies spending money. Any non-profit group is a corporation. If you and I share a set of political ideas and want to advocate for them, we'd form a non-profit, print pamphlets, run ads, court donors, rinse and repeat. That's freedom at work. It's totally impractical to run such an operation as a single human being. It's totally irresponsible to set up such a group and then legally run it as a single human being. Incorporation is the legal means for people to embark on common projects.
It’s Probably Cheaper on the Web, Adobe’s Online Price Index Shows
If a fact shows an ethnic group in negative light, then its possible its better to ignore that fact and not speak of it. By not speaking of it, it may make the overall problem of racism go away faster.

So goes the theory at least.

So let me get this straight.

Jeremy was "waiting", while Cruise raised seed, Series A then B, and congratulated them assuming that he still had 50% and was happy to see his work grow?

He never thought to protest, or sign any documents at each round giving his consent. If this isn't extortion I don't know what is.

It will be pretty easy for Cruise to prove he wrote no code/prototyped nothing. All he has is association with Kyle and Cruise for 4 weeks before they parted ways.

Sad to think all the engineers at Cruise, working their ass off, getting fucked over by this guy. He'll probably end up with more than all of them.
Maybe not in the literal sense, but I can still play my copy of the original Panzer General 22 years after it was released, because there are no technical impediments to doing so and because the license permits it. (And because of DOSbox.)

"Then something really bizare happened. Refuges had started to stream into different cities. And for some strange reason, they were shunned. Others somehow thought these survivors were contaminated, cursed, builty or what have you. So instead of being embraced and helped, they found themselves trying to hide who they are and where they came from."

There is an excellent book that tackles this very subject named "All that is Solid Melts Into Air" by Darragh McKeon. I highly recommend the book and it's not too long - 200 pages give or take.

It chronicles a bit of the disaster as well as the lives of some people that live near it as well as rescue workers called in to respond to it.

> First we had console editors, [...] Then we had full IDEs [...] Now the trend is toward "enhanced text editors" (VSC/Atom/ST): editors that can have modular plugin functionality and interact with the console so you don't lose any of its versatility. They're usually faster and more lightweight than IDEs but keep most of what you need

Emacs has functioned as an "advanced text editor" for at least 20 years and probably longer. There's a very common misconception that Emacs is a "console editor", but the reality is that when you first launch it in a windowed environment you get something that looks an awful lot like Sublime, VSCode & Atom: a text editor window with a menubar and toolbar similar (yes, it's not perfect!) to what you'd expect from any other editor native to your chosen platform.

The time investment involved in learning how to use it is also considerably less than implied elsewhere in this thread. In fact I really doubt that it's significantly more than you'd have to spend educating yourself about any other "advanced editor"'s configuration, keybindings for non-obvious actions, extension mechanism, etc. It's easy enough to learn the (admittedly unconventional) keybindings for a handful of common things like opening and saving files when you have the menus to refer to, and by default it'll even open a buffer containing clickable hyperlinks to helpful things like tutorials. I still haven't seen an editor or IDE with better built-in help.

Even configuring Emacs isn't all that hard: there's a built-in interface for installing packages, most of which will pretty-much auto-activate once installed (i.e. less need to mess around with elisp), and for changing configuration there's "customize", which is a nicer way to change configuration variables than just editing a JSON file. When you do have to start writing some elisp code (you'll almost certainly have to write a little) the documentation is superb and there are more than enough resources on the web to help you. A programmer who is already familiar with a dynamic language like JS will probably have less trouble learning elisp than a C programmer did 20 years ago.

None of which is to say that there aren't areas where Emacs isn't behind. I'd like to see better support for projects, snippets and auto-completion out of the box, as well as being more nicely pre-configured for popular languages like JavaScript and Python. Emacs 24 is four years old at this point, and that's a very long time for any developer tool to stay still.

These days I'd say the most confusing thing about Emacs is working out which of the many competing packages you should choose for whatever it is you're trying to do. Age is working against it here, because what was the almost-universally-recommended package five years ago - for which you'll get plenty of helpful google search results - has often been superceded by something better.

But with a handful of plugins installed (yasnippet, helm, projectile, auto-complete) it's (IMO of course) still the best editor out there.
Actual proficiency in emacs takes time, a lot of it, and practice, a lot of it.

To reach a level of skill where using emacs is easier/faster/better than something like intelli-j (for instance) requires significant dedication and repetition.

Far, far more than "a few hours".

My editor had no problem indexing all of Chromium (fairly large project). It also indexed external libraries. It indexes new code as you write it so type a foo function, next time you type foo you get help immediately. It added standard libraries by default and you can add any other library (like I have it indexing Unity3D's mono libraries).

I didn't notice more than a 100-200ms delay in seeing the result (which happened in other threads so no effect on my editing). About the same I'd expect with a round trip over the the internet. It shows both help at the cursor as well as definitions and references in another pane in that time.

It doesn't look as slick as Kite but it also seems to suggest it's possible to do this all locally. If nothing else you at least have some context (the language) so you don't have to search all data, only data relevant to that language. You even know where in the language I am so you know when to search ids and which subset of ids to search.

On top of that you're basically going to have me sending a gig of source to you to index something like Chromium which will take hours on my crappy connection.

Let me be clear, I think kite looks amazing and I'd be happy to pay for it if it was local. Maybe you download the DB to my machine. I'm not nearly as comfortable with you reading my terminal though. I'm sure you can turn that feature off but that's a feature I liked. Turing features off = less interesting
That is probably more than an engineer with a typical 100 basis points would get. You think he deserves more than someone who ACTUALLY built something at the company.
On a related note, I live in Germany and like setting my device's language to en-US. I like the US news, as they are personalized to my taste anyway.

What I dislike is that temperature and distance in a couple of apps are now in US units, which I find unreasonable. I should be able to choose SI units if I want to.

Windows has been getting locale settings right for ages now. I find it sad that Android is so far behind in that regard.

Unless Caesar spoke English, he didn't threaten "to decimate" anybody. Because "to decimate" is an English verb.

Rather, I'm sure Caesar used the appropriate conjugation of the Latin verb "decimō".

Well the implication is that the parent assumed that the officer was racist against [ethnic group]. It's not a fact that that's who was stealing, it's an observation filtered through the man's biases.

Not that I think it's appropriate to assume malice on the part of the police officer, nor to censor everything race-related that you find objectionable.

Why didn't you feel Uber would eventually be able to serve this niche?
There may be no such thing as a racist fact, but there's definitely such a thing as racist dissemination of a fact.

If, for example, you post a list of facts about crime rates among a particular ethnic group apropos of nothing, it's probably racist, regardless of whether or not the facts are true.

That said, in this case I think it's just the bad taste that one often gets in their mouth knowing that a racist might read a comment you make and have it confirm their prejudices.

As for how it's combating information: is there meaningful information lost here? He could have told you what colour his pants were, too, but it wouldn't add a whole hell of a lot to the story.
The rift has more steps in the tracking process. It has to track the dots of the currently displayed pattern. Transpose that into 3D space. Then it can perform triangulation.

The vive needs to only convert the time information to position relative to the base station. Then using the base station position, it can localise in 3D via the same/similar triangulation approach as the rift.

Hence, the rift requires significantly more processing power than the vive. This will likely introduce some latency, though its probably negligible to human perception. Furthermore, as the rift shows different patterns, it is possible, if moving fast enough for the patterns to move between frames, warping the dot patterns of the headset. This is a similar problem to the vive's sweeping. The major problem I see with the rift, is that adding more objects to be tracked only increases latency and complexity for tracking from a 2D image (more flashing patterns).

The lighthouse does not need to handle different timestamps for tracking. At each instant in time when new sensor data is received, the pose model is updated with the new sensor info (similar to a kalman filter). The pose model can be designed to update a single axis at a time though. There is only ~17ms between each axis update. You would have to be moving very fast to cause issues with tracking.

So, objectively the vives tracking is a superior design. Its elegant and simple. The vive and rift may perform similarly within the restrictions of their respective domains of use, such that 90% of the time people can't tell the difference. However, I would argue the vives domain is conservative. Start to move outside of those domains, the lighthouse system has much more potential and very few limitations that cant be reasonably/practically mitigated.
Last I checked, the stock Clock app has a similar dysfunctionality: in the World Clock tab you can add multiple timezones but there is no option for either UTC or GMT. Weirdly, many of the listed cities are just plain wrong. IIRC, it had Santa Fe, NM listed as UTC+0:00.

Google specifically seems to target their services much more at the large enterprise, rather than small companies and individuals. Enterprise will always pay for support, so if they are your target market, it's a given you can get them to pay. It's less of a necessity for providing lower costs, and more of a business decision to not expend resources to acquire customers that aren't bringing in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars every month.

$10-20/month VPS providers often respond to, and actually take action, on tickets within 5-15 minutes at no extra cost. Of course there is no guarantee, and a ticket can certainly wind up unresolved for 24+ hours. In my experience, if the ticket you file clearly explains your issue and represents something they can realistically help you with, the level of service provided for such a low server cost can be exceptional.

Wow, this is great. I built a web scraper in Go a while back that had feed support, and this is exactly what you end up writing.

IMO, its not so much the loss of information, its the implication that racial problems should not be considered racial problems.
It still isn't clear to me how Vogt cut Guillory from the company. How that is even possible when they had already established the company at a 50/50 split?

Modula2 was from an era before the internet was ubiquitous and everyone had computers in the pocket. To compare lack of uptake of a "safer language" from a time when the internet and attack surface was so much smaller to now seems disingenuous.

Whoa there. There's an entire spectrum of options in between "ASLR" and "formally verified everything" that defend against memory safety related RCE. Such as, for instance, writing in a memory-safe, high-level language where reasonable (which is in fact not only practical, it's what Android does).

(That's not to say ASLR isn't great as a way to harden the C and C++ code at the core levels of the system, of course. Daniel Micay's work here is very solid.)
From the complaint:

"Vogt, as the sole Director of Cruise Automation, Inc., authorized the issuance of 50% of the Company’s stock to Guillory;"

That seems like a very clear statement. It's either true, in which case Guillory has a very strong case, or it's false and he doesn't.
It was likely not even incorporated, they hadn't done nearly enough work for either to care. Also seems like Jeremy needed a job anyway and bounced.
