The Skylake processor in the iMac is something the end user cannot overclock (without doing something extreme). And none of the Mac Pro cores are as fast. And Apple doesn't water cool their machines. They simply don't offer robust overclocking options to us. So, for a single-core, the 4.0 GHz Skylake in the iMac is the fastest thing Apple offers.

If there is an underlying, valid core criticism in this article, it's the same one everybody already knows about: Apple doesn't offer their end users a truly competitive array of system configurations. Instead, they force their users into carefully defined and limited product tiers, each one costing significantly more than the last.
The chrysler was a completely different system, but it was indeed infecting the car from the radio / entertainment system. The tesla is completely different from that. They have one entire computer system that runs the "entertainment console". You can even reboot it while you are driving and nothing happens (this is by design of course). The driving controls are totally separated. The only thing you notice when you reboot that console if that the radio goes off, the display goes black during the reboot (10 seconds). Then it comes back and all is well. Press both turning cylinder controls on the steering wheel for a few seconds to start the reboot. They designed it very well. That doesn't mean it is perfect, but they have approached security correctly as far as I can tell from outside. They pay for exploits too - see https://bugcrowd.com/tesla. They have hired security researchers to work on their system and attack it.

As a tesla owner, I do wish they would hurry up and publish their app platform. They do have apps that they wrote themselves, that come with the car.

And I really wish they'd update their web browser, and even more wish they supported linux. Maybe the chromebook os support will be secure enough for android apps that even tesla could use it.
The important point was in the middle in a few sentences; how FK can't compete with the algorithm backed d might of Amazon. Amazon just has a more robust recommendation engine and a customer review system infrastructure that's years ahead.
I'm pretty sure the limiting factor for trucking throughput is drivers not trucks. That's why labor accounts for 75% of the cost of shipping.
There are many kinds of chatbots, one distinction between them being if they are generative (A.I.) or template-based. Another distinction is if they are narrowly limited into a domain (like the one selling music in this article) or general (like Microsoft's Tay).

The current situation is that it's hard to make generative chatbots create long replies that are also coherent. These A.I. based bots are only good for simple discussions, yet.
I sleep decently in most conditions (I can sleep in parks for instance), it's more that hotels feel inherently 'public'. It's a place owned by someone else, maintained and cleaned by employees, ruled about under a company's rules. If I had to put it in a bucket, it would go with shopping mall bathrooms, train compartiments or compamy shower rooms.

As a sign of that you wouldn't leave valuable stuff on an hotel room table while you're out, as you would in your house.
I switched to sparkpost. Took about an hour. 100k emails / month are free.
80 because it makes (several) vertical splits in vim and tmux useful. Anything more and things start wrapping in your editor. When composing email or commit messages I usually go with 72 (so you can indent by 4 spaces to center or quote it 3 times).
One of the odd things I've seen that marks a "good" admin from a "bad" admin is their reliance on md5s as a checksum for file differences for anything in bulk. It's extremely rare to see a collision, but it definitely happens (I've seen it once after a decently sized config change. Nobody believed me :( ). That's not to say it's not a useful hash, just that it should be used with caution.
How about Amazon just focus on maximizing profit within the boundary of the law of the given area?
Yes, which blows my mind too since APRs (as the US calls them) are standard in my experience here in Australia except that our banks tie the interest rate to the reserve rate which is revised monthly, not yearly. Fixing an interest rate is something you do for a span of 3-5 years, not the life of the loan.

The US does a lot of things strangely, this is but one of them :)
I think the flaw here is assuming that the systems around the truck will stay the same - including the truck form factor. Without the required creature comforts of the tractor, you free up a lot of energy (heat/cool) and space (bed/TV etc...) in the cab.

I can also see traffic lanes being created to support commerce, special easement areas for trucks at stops that don't have to support showers/food/bathrooms etc... reducing overall cost.

All of this comes at cost to human workers - but it's inevitable.
InterSystems Data Platforms and Performance – Part 3: Focus on CPU
I'm a big fan of Alan Watts' "Money, Guilt, and the Machine" [0] as are many people here. It's most poignant point IMHO is that we're screwed until we can separate money and morality. As we move towards more political extremes here in the US, that's going to be near impossible.

So we can either separate money from morality, or suffer greatly as jobs - especially blue collar jobs - are automated away.

Alas I fear there will be great suffering...

Guess away! What then, if you don't buy? Enough innuendo.
Having driven in winter weather I can honestly say it will be a while . . before they are ready to take over. As for tire wear , there are small firms that look for very experienced driver's to cheat the scales . . this is how its done if they are overweight , think ( steel coils ) they time it so they hit the scales at night . . the driver goes into the scale and positions the rear trailer wheels on one side . . up on the curb registering a lower weight on the scale.
I don't expect drivers to go away immediately. Instead, I expect their wages to drop 50% overnight - but they will still be required to be on the truck: to fill the tank, to clean something, to be there and guard it against theft, etc.

Interesting, this is the first time I'm reading about it [1]. Well, if anything it looks like a web app would have to be rebuilt from the ground up to fit that model. I haven't yet read much about it, but here's a few questions that pop up immediately:

1) If you have a container per data object, doesn't that mean you also have to start a process every time a user opens a document? So forget about doing any computations in the setup. Even just things like using regex patterns in python (that need to be compiled once) or using anything with a VM (that needs to be started) you'd have to give up. Usecase seems to be extremely limited, but maybe I'm not getting something right here.

2) How do you handle indexes, views and collections over a large set of data objects?

What evidence do you have that makes you disbelieve this?
Again, this entertainment system that she hacked is completely separate from the driving system. You can literally reboot it while you are driving down the road. The screen goes black during reboot, the radio goes off, then it comes back in 10 seconds or so. I think maybe in the 4 years I've owned it once or twice it rebooted itself.
They don't get lost -- I'm quite literally saying this is not a problem for me. I have no intention of prescribing how other people should organize their email, because I can't imagine any universe where I would actually care about that, but this extremely long winded essay about how the way I'm doing it is wrong strikes me as absurd. I also think it's pretty weird someone would take the time to diagnose my apparent character flaws based on my email habits, and then propose solutions. Uh, thanks? Of all the world's problems focusing on why some people leave email unread seems borderline OCD.

Not to mention that a lot of the author's inferences are pretty insulting. "This means that when someone asks you to do a thing, you probably aren’t going to do it. You’re going to pretend to commit to it, and then you’re going to flake out when push comes to shove. You’re going to keep context-switching until all the deadlines have passed." Wow, really, you got all of that because I didn't bother to hit "Mark Read" on my grubhub order confirmation?
Bitstamp to become the first nationally licensed Bitcoin Exchange in the EU
I have Docker for Windows Beta, but when I've installed it on my Surface Pro 3, it immediately caused the device to get stuck in a BSOD loop. I think it has something to do with Hyper-V and connnected standby but I'm not 100% sure. Wasn't able to find an answer because it's so early on. I really want to get into Docker, but that bug has killed any possibility of me adopting it as of right now. I did install it on a desktop (which I lightly use) and it worked fine. With the new Windows 10 Insider build on that desktop though, Docker constantly is asking permission to run.

Anyhow, I really hope someone does a good overview of Docker for Windows beta, as well as the Ubuntu environment within Windows 10 now...Seems like OSX gets all of the dev love, so I'm wish and hoping for a really nice Windows overview. As I am currently having a hard time with both. Neither, as of right now, work well.
The old technique was, at a wheel, hit the brakes really hard to stop the wheel rotating as fast as possible, hopefully less than one second, and then fully release the brake. Then the stopped wheel starts sliding and, then, starts rotating again, while still sliding some, until it is full rotating again, and then hit the brakes again. So, the technique is automatically sensitive to load, tread on the tires, traction on the road, etc. So, don't want all the wheels stopped at the same time. Then on an 18 wheel truck, should still be able to maintain directional control.

Of course, there is a lot that could be done, but most of that has one thing in common -- money, for the engineering, manufacturing, original purchase, in-service monitoring, problem detection, problem diagnosis, and repair. Money.
I will be honest dude, I don't believe a legit config file change could result in a collision (where appending random comments until a collision is found is not a legit edit, that's bruteforcing)

But I do believe you thought it did, if that's any consolation ;)

... but I would loved to be proved wrong.
Nit: There's no such thing as the "Linux userspace". The GNU/Linux userspace is a collection of many different pieces of software (including the GNU tooling and all of the FreeDesktop stuff).

It seems like this is the future and I'd like to get an early peek so I can help my team move once it's release publicly.

If all this is true then why even go to the trouble of supporting opt out?

The support for opt out acknowledges (implicitly) that the choice to upload data is rightfully the user's own prerogative. Then paradoxically enables the feature by default anyway and places the switch behind some esoteric opt out commands.
Disclaimer: I work at Docker.

Yes, we screwed up on the b2d->machine transition. Sorry for making that experience unnecessarily confusing. We've learned a lot from that mistake and are working hard to avoid repeating it.
I think one thing people don't understand is that if truck drivers are out of the equation, a huge amount of cargo will go back to rail. Roadways will clean up nicely. And if rail becomes more efficient, we might start building more rail. And put more passenger trains on said rail. That would empty out the roads even more.

You're trying to claim fees for services not rendered for a pre-paid monthly service are rightfully yours (again without addressing the email) because you've made a claim in a ToS.

And you think that'd stand up in small claims. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when that gets tested. ;-) And the collection agency willing to sign on as a co-defendant? That better be some monthly subscription fee.

Also, there's no way you win a chargeback claim in this case:

A very useful visual to add next to this is "The Most Common Job In Every State"[0] map from NPR's Planet Money. As soon as I was aware of the research in autonomous driving I was pretty confident trucking would be the first industry hit. Until I saw that map I had no sense of how major of a disruption this could be.

Docker ID: shikil, thank you very much.
Yes. Truckers have to deal with a sort of standard "road safety dilemma" all the time, which can be boiled down to this:

A trucker is driving a 40 ton truck at 65mph. A passenger car with a family of four cuts in front of it, and the distance is closing fast.

A passenger car takes roughly 315 feet to come to a complete stop. A fully loaded truck takes 525 feet. The trucker now has to make a decision.

A) Do I slam on the brakes and keep going straight, and completely obliterate the car in front of me and the family inside it?

B) Do I cut off to the side, running over the rail, flipping the truck, killing myself, and possibly any other vehicles or pedestrians around, behind, or coming in the opposite direction of me?

The robot trucker could of course decide on B), but there are unknown variables about the extent of the resulting damage. This risk increases with merging between lanes or on/off ramps both by passenger vehicles, the truck itself, and motorcycles.

A dedicated lane would make this fantastically safer, but who will pay for it?

I've been out of SF for three years but goddamn if I didn't get swept right back into it while reading this. Fantastic writing, made me inhabit that same mental space that I'd almost forgotten about.

Yeah, I was thinking about that after I wrote my comment. I suppose that rational could just be defined as "what a person does", since they must have been trying to optimize for _something_.

But there must be some universal optimial for a given utility function, right? Like: choosing to buy a BMW when your utility function is a looking for a cheap car is just simply irrational or a mistake.

Here's a good one: All of my high school teachers (and my parents) encouraged me to study biochemistry in college. They assured me there'd be a good career for me afterwards. But they were kinda wrong, and I had executed my utility function (what's a major that will give me interesting and good work) on bad input. I acted rationally, but would you say that my decision was a rational one?
While the experience of programming them is obviously different, the 400/800 hardware seems to largely be a modestly expanded/fixed version of the 2600 hardware with a coprocessor stuck in front of it to offload all the "racing the beam" crap. Of course, I could be misinterpreting something.

Qatar bank 'hacked'
http://visualstudio.com Team Services is also pretty nice. Free unlimited hosted git repos for 5 users, also includes free build/test/load test/release/CI management, kanban boards, team chat rooms. eclipse/xcode/xyz integration, etc, etc. If you've got a small team, not bad.
Not sure if there is one, though, I have a feeling there is. I've done nothing to make the car be upset, though. My X session is running on tty1 while the car's UI is running on tty2. As long as the car's normal UI system is running everything is happy. If you shut that down, say, starting fluxbox on that X session (this may or may not have happened), the gateway freaks out because it lost contact and forcibly resets the CID. Also, the touchscreen's input doesn't come through X, the QT apps read it directly. Every now and then I have to just tap the corner of my screen while I'm working, even when I'm in my own environment, because when you are parked and sitting there the touchscreen will turn off after 30 minutes. I'll figure out a way around this eventually.

Horology survived the Quartz crisis, I'm betting they survive the smart-watch crisis.

It's an interesting thought, watching smartphone screens get bigger, just how much people want a computer so significantly smaller. The tracking is great, but can be done headless, and oh by the way my phone has a pedometer, too.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think smart watches are going away, but I do imagine their honeymoon glow will fade a degree.
Finding a New Medium
Fantastic! I appreciate the heads-up. The open source ThingMagic drivers would be very handy.

It has crossed my mind to try integrating a single-chip reader but I'm unsure of what the FCC requirements would be for selling it as part of a commercial product. It's a little surprising that there hasn't been a kickstarter type of project to build an open source reader chip and get it FCC spec'ed.
The problem (IMO) is that the tech isn't there yet to enable the focus on trying to be tiny mobile phones, without huge sacrifices in terms of battery life.

No matter how good it is, a device in a watch form factor can't provide THAT much in the way of utility, so it needs to be as hassle-free as possible in order to be a net benefit to its wearer. I think in this regard the early Pebble smartwatches were perfectly pitched.

Sadly Pebble decided to chase the Android / Apple Watch market instead of refining their niche, with predictably poor results.
On the basis of customer satisfaction only, Amazon is far ahead of Flipkart at least in India.

If you search Quora for a Flipkart vs. Amazon, you will be amazed by the reviews (most favour Amazon).

This is just one: https://www.quora.com/Is-Flipkart-better-than-Amazon-in-Indi...

There are many more such questions on Quora. I've read a lot of reviews and this was the result: Amazon is more responsive to complaints, returns, usually cheaper and satisfying the customer. Flipkart is doing way worse than Amazon in these departments. There are even a few answers about how Flipkart delivered the wrong product.

TL;DR:

> Portions of the inspection report that CMS had initially redacted included references to the Edisons, Theranos’s family of proprietary blood-testing devices. Those passages, which are no longer redacted in the latest version, show that the devices often failed to meet Theranos’s own accuracy requirements for a range of tests, including one to detect prostate cancer.
I keep saying this over and over and over to my more "the market will figure it out" co-workers and I just can't seem to get through to them.

This is literally more than 20% unemployment in less than 5 years.

Society will either crumble or completely change how it views unemployment.
20 to 30% is quite a bit. And road repairs are only part of the cost subsidy to trucks. Property taxes are assessed on the tracks, but not on the highways, for another.
Like others are saying, that's extremely unlikely to happen by chance, near impossible. If I saw such a collision, I'd strongly suspect the collision was intentional and malicious. Edit: After discounting bugs in whatever software found the collision. It could be a bug in the script.
