Your first two sentences seems to contradict one another. The assumption was the cars would behave the same in tests versus how they are driven by real drivers, but THAT WASN'T IN THE TEST! Test it! Randomly give them an 4 hour driving profile including resistance and acceleration generated from a model of drivers, fail if it diverges by X% from the reproducible baseline. This is what people are complaining about (largely), but it wasn't what was asked of the manufacturers.

Companies are required to act in the interests of the shareholders. These companies were required to pass the synthetic tests. If the manufactures spent precious resources "wasting" R/D and manufacturing effort going beyond the requirements placed upon them to ship expensive but already conforming vehicles, they would be savaged in the markets, and executive open to litigation for dereliction. I'm not defending it, by the way -- this is how capitalism works.
Keeping things secret is only a part of the problem. Corporate utter forgetfulness of the past is another. Consider the tale related by Stephen Walli (referenced at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11560510) about the Microsoft people who didn't even know that Microsoft had the SFUA/SUA with Windows NT.

> "I had to explain to the [Windows High Performance Computing team] that they already owned the technology they needed, but to no avail. They couldn't get their head around the idea."
It's all a bit of a sham, a lot of politics in play with it.

If NOx was a real concern, the cars would be required to have realtime sensors, the check engine light would come on when they misbehave. All the manufacturers knew. The testers almost certainly knew
Interesting. I would have thought the paid experience would be beyond the technical glitches of the free experience.
Really interesting! Reminded me of a good Economist article recently that went into the idea of 'consciousness' in more detail and how certain animals show different elements of it -

While I hold your same opinion I think you're being down voted for not elaborating on the way as it appears you're only ranting and not adding anything to the conversation.

For me most of my work in node needs to work over multiple versions and most of my browser work also needs to work over multiple browsers. Transpiling with Babel means I can't debug the code I actually wrote (even mappings won't work in all browsers or older ones) and I don't need extra, unnecessary complexity added to my build and development.

I like many of ES6's features but I value simplicity over almost everything so I can only hope to use it at some point in the future.
The Story of Guile and Nash: Time to Beat Some Ass
Oh boy. You have just discovered that predicting future is difficult.
Do you think the APL family can exist without the terse syntax?

I have yet to meet a programming model that can only exist in one specific syntax. The closest I've seen is lisp-style metaprogramming, which requires syntax that makes its nesting structure obvious (you're operating on pieces of syntax, so of course you need to know something about it); of course, you could use indentation instead of parens to show that structure if you like. APL-like operator lifting is entirely a semantic issue. It can exist just fine in s-expressions, ML-like syntax, Python-like syntax, etc.

APL-family languages typically even tie their own hands in terms of semantic flexibility because of their syntax. They have separate syntactic classes for (first-order) data, first-order functions, and second-order functions. The parser doesn't know what to do with an identifier unless it knows that identifier's definition, which makes compiling APL pretty awkward (ever seen a parser that tries to do data flow analysis?). It also limits their flexibility as functional programming languages. J, at least, by keeping a symbolic representation of all functions at run time, enables a sort of workaround where you can package up a vector of first-order functions, but this is much more awkward to work with than actual first-class functions.

But what really disappoints me about APL-style syntax is limiting its flexibility as an array-processing language. The language semantics offer this great ability to automatically "lift" any operation to work on arbitrarily high-dimensional arrays. Want the square root of every number in a 3-tensor? Go for it! Want to average every column in a matrix? Just average it! In more recent incarnations, you can even mix and match the shapes you're lifting up to, like adding a vector to every column in a matrix.

But that flexibility stops short if your function needs three inputs. Infix-only syntax has no way to write function application with more than two arguments, so you're forced to pack some of those inputs together into a single argument. Now you can't choose to lift the operation to every argument separately: you're forced to put the same array structure around multiple arguments. If you try to get around this by writing a second-order function (rather like currying), you now have one argument you can't lift to because only first-order functions get the dimension lifting.

So not only is the programming model not inextricably tied to this particular syntax, I'm not even convinced it's the best syntax for the programming model.
I should note that I did alert the sysadmin and he told me he was taking it down and would figure out how to secure it.

5 Important Tips for Value Based Selling
Like many others in this thread, I sleep very well in hotels. Usually better than at home.

My best sleep comes when I'm camping though. This is definitely not a comfortable or familiar environment, but I still sleep very well and feel refreshed in the morning.

That being said, I usually sleep terribly in friends' houses or AirBnBs.

I dunno, KDevelop 4, based on KDE's rather than Gnome's libraries, was nothing like KDevelop 3 and couldn't do some of the old things, and there was no way you could compile KDevelop 3 on an Ubuntu box bundled with KDevelop 4 and the new KDE libraries unless you were really good at this shit. Eclipse, based on the JVM, had a popular plugin that was broken, I think, in Juno or a bit earlier, and whose author refused to update it for the new Eclipse because too much of the things in Eclipse he depended on changed. Upgrading Emacs broke everyone's emacs-lisp hacks that they copied from each other. And so forth.

I think that in the land of Linux, the only things which remain backward compatible are the kernel (if you want to run statically linked userland binaries - not if you want to run driver binaries) and the GNU userspace utitilies like sh and grep (though sh is bash on some distros and dash on others, breaking the very popular assumption that sh is in fact bash, and env might reside in either /bin/env or /usr/bin/env, defeating its purpose of letting you deal with the fact that #!/bin/tcsh will break on systems keeping tcsh at /usr/bin. But a given distro will usually keep its shit where it last put it, which I guess is better than it could have been.)
I remember a huge controversy while I was in college over whether it was even possible to get reliable information off wikipedia. At the time, my primary use for wikipedia was math articles, so I found this somewhat amusing. The math articles were fine.

I don't disagree with your opinion on the tests. If the tests aren't fit for purpose, they must be replaced or removed. However, the tests as-is do serve one purpose: to provide an absolute comparison between different models across different years.

However, regarding corporations:

You will NEVER get the manufactures to act as moral entities -- they are amoral

This attitude is part of what keeps them immoral.

They are profit machines and are required by law to be that way

So, change the law? I'm sure there's been many articles on HN where the prevailing opinion was "the law is wrong, and must be changed".

Apple was a profitable multi billion dollar company in 2000. https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2000/10/18Apple-Reports-Fou... 170 million in profits a quarter in Sept 2000 and a recent history of rapid growth is easily a 10+ billion dollar company.

PS: There stock hit the lowest point in 1998 under jobs, but 1998-2000 was a solid run up before the market tanked. Don't forget they did a 2:1 split in Jun 21, 2000. But, in terms of fundamentals they were a huge profitable 10x unicorn and growing in 2000. And even at the bottom of there second dip in Jan 2, 2001 @14.88 they where at twice Jan 2, 1998's split adjusted 6.815.

I can't help feeling there's a "walking before you run" thing here. Unsurprisingly, no, you couldn't make something to do this yet. Because we haven't yet built anything that passes the Turing test.

But the fact that we can't yet do that doesn't mean that bots are going to be useless. That'd be like looking at the first ocean-going freight vessels and saying "well, it can't move 300,000 tonnes of freight, so it's useless), or the Wright Flyer and saying that because it can't cross the Atlantic, it's a bit rubbish. (I'm aware this is close to straw manning, but bare with me...)

Sure, early proofs of concept are often both limited in scope and fairly dire. But that doesn't mean there's no potential utility in them and what they do. I suspect bots are similar. Initial, narrow use-case versions will be very useful at providing value in specific circumstances, and eventually they'll become more general in nature. But decrying them at this stage seems a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
The reason I switched from DirecTV to Dish is that programming upgrades on DirecTV can easily be done using the website, but if you want to DOWNGRADE you have to call them. Dish has its own faults but doesn't do that nonsense.

I've taken part in a number of sleep studies and I can say from experience that sleeping with electrodes strapped to your head does make it very difficult to get any sleep.

The worst part was the feedback loop of feeling that I have to sleep, or else this study will be useless; then those feelings contributing to more sleeplessness.

Why do you think it's important that they implement import/export? Node already has a module system that works well. Support import/export is much more important in Browsers which has no module system.

The getrandom() call should be used if it's available, and /dev/urandom on legacy systems. The system call blocks once when the system starts until the RNG is initialized with enough entropy, and then never again.
I can't help but notice that once again tail call optimization seems to be one of the last things added, and even then requires a specific flag to work.

Is there some reason for this pattern, like actual performance/technical difficulties, or is it more "My Java/C professor said recursion is bad"?

Ok, fair enough. Email is an unreliable form of cancellation for a number of reasons. I don't necessarily buy it, but let's accept this for the sake of argument.

But then how exactly is it more secure to accept a cancellation by Random Dude on the phone?

Except to make the customer (especially international customers, which may have to call in the middle of the night and who may incur significant charges) jump through a whole lot of hoops and to make it as difficult as possible to cancel.

To me this reeks like a shit ton of bad faith by the service provider, which has nothing whatsoever to do with security.
I think CNTK and Tensorflow and Theano, too, have a declarative approach, representing the computation via a computational graph. Which in my opinion is beneficial for research. But for a hacker or a software developer who wants to build an application, this creates an unnecessarily steep learning curve and feels unintuitive. (I have the feeling, that this an important reason why Keras, Lasagne and co. exists)

Leaf takes an imperative approach and explores an easier API (only Layers (Functions)[1] and Solvers (Optimizer Algorithms)), reusability through modularity and abstractions that keep the implementation and concepts to a minimum or rather abstractions that feel as familiar to a hacker as possible.

For future versions e.g., we want to explore what is practically possible with auto-differentiation via dual numbers and differentiable programming.

For the states I've been curious about in the United States, each state's Secretary of State usually has a search form for corporations, LLCs, and limited partnerships. examples: California (http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/) and Washington (http://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/).
I can't emphasize this enough if you're in the States. This is something that the FCC takes very seriously. There are hundreds of billions of dollars corporations have thrown at just to get rights to little chunks of spectrum (and as one would imagine, I'm sure their lobbyists have Tom Wheeler on speed-dial). This information has been out there for ages but this is the first time I've seen a single source with all of the information in aggregate. (I've toyed with putting up a similar page myself, but opted not to just to avoid the unwanted federal attention). If you do this on the nominal 850 for any significant amount of time, you're going to be at best convicted of a federal crime with a long duration of probation after spending an egregious amount of money on defense counsel fees. You could realistically serve jail-time (it wouldn't be hard to convince a jury to convict someone by claiming your transmission compromised emergency-comms, and if little Tiffany from Connecticut was abducted, how could her Amber alert propagate through the networks?!)

There's a lot of amazing stuff which is incredibly accessible for such a low amount of money (spectrum analyzers with amazing VBW for 1/20th the price you'd pay 10 years ago, hell, the whole SDR scene), but there's really no Tor you can hide behind. Our civil servants might not be the brightest of the bunch, but they can triangulate a transceiver I'd imagine. If you choose to do this, broadcast in the ISM band around 912, and you should be safe..ish if you keep your broadcast under a watt. I love playing with gear but there are safer ways to get your jollies. As someone who did his share of foolhardy things in my youth, I could see myself as a precocious teenager doing something dumb like this - if you're that 15 year old reading this - don't. There are tons of fun things to do out there with a way, way lower risk factor. (If you really want to play with things you shouldn't, the modern power grid is filled with a mesh network, broadcasting your power consumption to the peers in your network. It's on RF, and as such they have to legally disclose the nature of the broadcasts to the government, and those databases are public. Have fun ;))

Hi. I can't speak to the specifics of the YC letter, but in general, a B1 visa letter should contain the following 3 elements. The letter should emphasize throughout, that the applicant won't receive any payment from a US source (except expenses), and won't perform any work in the US.

1. A STATEMENT OF THE PURPOSE OF THE VISIT, WITH A DETAILED US ITINERARY.
The B1 rules contain a list of acceptable B1 visitor activities. These include the following: "Participation in professional conferences" and "Observing the conduct of US business or professional activity." The letter should be framed to fit the "purpose of your visit" into one or both of these categories.

This part should also include the following: Specific, definite, and realistic plans for the entire period of the visit. A US travel itinerary listing dates, locations, and where you will stay.

2. PROOF OF YOUR INTENTION TO DEPART THE US, PLUS EVIDENCE OF TIES ABROAD.
This section explains your specific plan for departure from the United States. Examples: I have a round-trip ticket for departure from the US on X date. I am required to speak at a conference in home country on Y date.

This part also lists your personal and business ties to your home country, as proof of your intention to depart the US. Examples include: Family home with spouse and children; spouse's employment and children's school enrollment. Deeds or titles to real property, vehicles, other valuable assets. Leases. Meaningful business or financial connections. Permanent employment or career. Job offer. Extended family ties. Community, social, or cultural associations.

3. FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
A detailed explanation of why you won't need to work, or seek public assistance, during your visit to the United States, with a specific list of assets. Examples might include: A statement from the accelerator of what travel and lodging expenses they are paying. Your bank statements showing personal assets. A relative’s letter stating that all financial support will be provided.

The B1 letter should have all the listed evidentiary items attached to it, such as invitation and schedule for accelerator program, travel and lodging itinerary, round-trip ticket, future commitments abroad, ties to home country such as deeds / assets / family connections, and proof of financial resources.

I'm not sure I agree. Your basic point—that governmental options are constrained by the economic options available—is sound, but that doesn't mean resources are destiny for rural areas.

For example, Vermont and New Hampshire are both rural states with similar climates. But the governmental policies are quite different. Rural areas also have non-natural economies and thus can adapt to different policy goals.
