What I remember from driving class was that the risk factors change depending on urban, suburban, rural. In urban areas car vs pedestrian accidents are common. Accidents involving cars as you said are typically low speed accidents.

In Rural areas the opposite is true. High speed car vs car and car vs tree accidents are most common.

Though bigger doesn't equal safer. I remember someone else pointing out that large vehicles don't increase safety overall, they decrease it. If you consider two large trucks hitting each other is typically worse than two smaller passenger vehicles doing the same. It's only large truck vs small car that is slightly safer. Less than one might think because large vehicles tend to roll over more often.

CloudFlare will make sure the browser can run JS, which in the case of this service I assume it won't. There are ways around this of course, using headless browsers (e.g. PhantomJS), tools like cloudflare-scrape[0] (which uses PyExecJS[1]). I've even used PyQt5 to render webpages for similar purposes.

Unfortunately the aforementioned tools are generally pretty slow (especially headless browsers). Also I can't imagine it's particularly safe running such a service.

It just means people will stop trusting the US Dollar.

Pretty bad for the US, but I don't think it'd be a catastrophic worldwide event. Interest rates will go up, and it will become even harder for the US to pay back the debts, and it will become much more difficult for the US to borrow money in the future.

Bad all around of course, not something to be trifled with. But its a relatively simple prediction to make.
The incentive to hoard, also often called the "deflationary spiral", is a theory proposed by neo-Keynesian economists, which doesn't appear to be as bad as they say.

People have finite lifespan, and so, they want to use their hoards to better these finite lives, which leads them to spend. This preference, known as the "time preference", strikes a balance with the tendency to hoard. It is impossible to predict where this balance is, though, because it's subjective to each participant.

Why do you buy cell phones or laptops today, knowing that future ones will be better or cheaper? Why buy some food today, when you know your purchasing power will be greater next month? Why pay for housing when prices are falling, knowing your contract will be cheaper in five years?
I think with an outage for this long, is it safe to assume that we've moved away from "the migration is taking awhile" to "something terrible has happened and it may be a good time to switch to pinboard.in"?
I mean, part of the entire point of the stock market is that it operates on investor confidence; these kind of effects happen all the time from many different causes. If this kind of thing scares you, it kind of seems like the whole stock market itself would scare you.

Heck, there's a separate sub-sector of the financial industry devoted to "dark equity" and hiding the actions of influential actors in order to not produce these effects.

//Apple could borrow the $600B at dirt cheap rates and go private asap

Ok, so you mean Apple (the public company) borrows money, and then goes private. Now who would that private entity be? And which entity would be repaying that loan now since Apple (the public company) that borrowed money would no longer be an entity as it went private.. care to clarify?
Got you - inherited a codebase from someone else - worked fine on your x86(-64/whatever), tried it against your ARM, intermittent failures.

Seems compiling with the -O0 flag fixed some issues for a few chaps, worth a shot I'd imagine, though you've seemed to completed your alternate implementation for the ARM platform.

Alternatively, the TBB errors seem to be when using a gcc deriv that depends on GNU as. Now VS can build ARM binaries (at least, ARM LE bins). It'd be interesting to see if that solves the problem.

What did you end up using instead of TBB? Stock Pthreads/pth? Or did you go with something lighter? Regardless, next time you have to write for embedded stuff hopefully you have a new tool in your belt that'll save you from frustration :)

For anyone looking to build a clustered virtualization solution, I recommend checking out Googles Ganeti: http://www.ganeti.org

It doesn't look like much, but is rock solid and supports everything Proxmox does and more, save for the lack of a built-in web UI (but there are several 3rd party ones, as Ganeti is 100% API driven).

No affiliation, but have successfully deployed it at multiple sites (and would love to do so again, wink wink).

I do wish AWS had more granular EC2 billing, and I expect that to come soon since GCE offers it. But 2 things:

1) If you are at the scale of deploying several times an hour, the instance hour cost would probably look like a rounding error for your entire AWS spend, I'd imagine.

2) At that cadence you'll definitely benefit from using containers and a container scheduler (Kube, ECS, etc). Reuse the infrastructure but redeploy your apps to your hearts content.

The 1st A.I. winter was 1973 when Donald Michie's work was eviscerated by the Lighthill report.

Edinburgh University, under Michie, was leading the world in A.I. Michie, Ambler & Popplestone's 1969 Freddy Robot could assemble scattered bricks using A.I. vision & GOF symbolic AI. Michie (& Chambers) BOXES algorithm was succesfully learning to balance poles using reinforcement learning, from raw-sensor data outputting motor torques, real robotics trained end-to-end not simulated. Edinburgh had a rival LISP known as POPLOG (Popplestone & Burstal) used UK & Europe wide.

BOXES was akin to todays Neural Nets. Geoff Hinton attended Edinburgh briefly in the aftermath. What might have been ?

Edinburgh had both symbolic A.I. planning, a working vision system & pragmatic bottom up machine learning until '73 & Lighthill. Edinburgh's was a unique approach - with bigger budgets the American labs favoured simulation (until 1985 when Rod Brooks showed it was a dead end) and without BOXES, Freddy became RAPT, symbolic, programmed GOFAI & no learning. RAPT failed because top-down reasoning was a computational quagmire in the real world & it was too fragile to the slightest decalibration.

Edinburgh's hybrid GOFAI & behavior-based approaches got round calibration issues with SOMASS, Eddie & Push-Slide. But programmed solutions lacked the crucial element of learning - Michie's BOXES.

Concurrently, Michie, exiled to Glasgow & private industry, found great success helping the Japanese revolutionise the assembly line & in the US with automated factory control & satellite piloting for NASA. All reinforcement learnt using BOXES but he & AI were pariah in the UK as he laments in 1987:

[Michie from 18:24] http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0306rt1/micro-live-ser...

Michie's nascent hybrid of raw sensor machine learning & GOFAI embodied in robots is just being rediscovered in Abeel & Levines work today. http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.00702

An AI winter is a terrible thing. Progress lost decades. Tragically the 2002 fire may have destroyed Michie's undigitised archive.

You've basically just said you use your phone as a heavier, battery-powered credit card. You might as well be arguing that you think horses are a revolutionary new transportation medium because they don't need gas and can obey spoken commands, and cars don't all do that yet.

I think its also true that their online retail store created a new industry. They might not be the first online retail store, but they definitely spearheaded the online retail industry. I think the some of the reason why AWS is more profitable or has been profitable longer because.

- Amazon reinvested its revenue on its growth.

- AWS was a by product of Amazon retail store infrastructure (at least initially).

- AWS customer base are mostly businesses with big pocket and less likely to worry about spending money.

- Amazon retail store is built on the business of selling products cheaper.

- AWS profit margin tends to be higher than retail store.

Just thinking out loud.

Yep. The big difference is in the case of a safe they have other options if you refuse - there's not much point in pissing off the judge only to have them call a locksmith and drill your safe.

Depending on exactly how the drive is encrypted, the state may not have a plan B if he refuses to comply.

"spearheaded the online retail industry"

"Online retail" is not an interesting category even if they did spearhead it. Amazon is nothing more than a catalog retailer, something Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward pioneered eons ago. Shipping goods to consumers out of a warehouse by common carrier is not a new industry.
Yeah, totally. How entitled is it to move to a city where there are jobs, and expect to be paid enough to live within an hour of your full-time job without having to work a second gig as a cab driver? Screw her.

In case you hadn't noticed, there are only 13 listings below $1000 on that AirBnB page. Five of them are bunkbeds at "Casa Hacker". If we expand the search to $1500 a month, we get listings like "Very Comfy Couch for 1-2 People" (omfg) and "Bunk Bed in Shared Room" on page one. The average is $3477 a month.

Again, I draw two conclusions: a non-AirBnB one-bedroom in Concord for $1500 looks like a pretty good deal, and the people who are criticizing this girl's living situation are totally ridiculous.

What's scary about it to me is simply the amplifying effect of celebrity investors. Lots of individual investors making individually irrational decisions can at least all cancel each other out, but when one irrational decision can drive thousands of other investors to all make that same decision at the same time, that's another matter.

If drone surveillance by government officials is routine, then civil libertarians should be even happier at curbs in civilian drone use over their private property.

So, it says:

>Attorney Michael Listner, founder of Space Law and Policy Solutions, explained to Ars that Article IX of the Outer Space Treaty requires countries to ensure that launches from within their borders take precautionary measures to prevent contamination of other planets. If SpaceX can’t demonstrate that it's complying with the terms of the treaty with Red Dragon, decontaminating both the inside and outside of the vehicle, the Federal Aviation Administration could withhold a launch license.

And then down in the article:

>Why is SpaceX doing this? Because Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars.

So how exactly do these two statements go together?
I would have found it easier to review these Apply HN threads if each applicant had completed the full YC Fellowship application and posted that in their thread as well. For many of the existing threads, there's just not very much to go on, but you have to read each thread before you can work that out. You can feel the inefficiency begin to drag at you as you go through the review process.

Question: Why don't you require all Apply HN applicants to complete the full YCF application, and open those applications to the HN community? Each YCF application includes an option to generate a corresponding Apply HN thread. Comments from the HN community are made available to YC reviewers. The applicant consents to disclosure by ticking the Apply HN box.

Anyone who posted an Apply HN thread could have just lodged their own YCF application anyway, which the YC team would have had to review and determine in the usual way—but completing the application mandates a baseline level of information about the applicant's team and startup. So why not leverage the existing process and help the HN community help you to review them.

Unfortunately none of that will help you choose applicants from among the existing Apply HN threads (sorry), but it might be worth considering for the next stage of the experiment.
