One interesting detail is that accelerating an A330 to M0.90 would probably not significantly damage the aircraft, if at all. For a unreliable airspeed issue, 85% thrust with 5 degree nose high attitude would keep the jet in the air. Keeping the nose much higher than 5 degrees risks a deep stall, which can easily result in a fatal crash.
Everyone from the Army, to the Govt, to Apple, to your medical insurer, to your bank have been using those workers. Maybe it will make you feel better if they all worked for 100 different Indian firms, but this is just more efficient. The bodyshops face stiff competition from each other to consolidate. The fact that Infosys has survived 20 years says something about the company.
Yep, or drop the dependency. E.g. For joda specifically, you should probably move to Java 8 date API, which is more likely to be ported.

Bare in mind that scalajs has the same issue and a lot of work has already been done!

> I will say, however, that you better be VERY close with your coworkers before you start saying it. The kind of close that is IMPOSSIBLE to get to in the first few weeks of employment at a place.

I disagree. I'm a "contractor" which means I've had a lot of short engagements. Part of what makes me good at being a contractor is I usually get on with people pretty well and being a working class Scottish lad, I do have a rough sense of humour. I joke around with both men and woman, and that's okay because people like that part of me.

> The fact that this guy just started working at the company and already called someone a MILF (and who clearly didn't like it, since she complained to the CEO) means he is being horribly inappropriate, and has no excuse.

Well yeah, but that's still the no smoke without fire argument. She clearly doesn't like it, it shouldn't be said again, but do we extend that you immedaitly firing the guy if he simply misread the situation and dropped it from there?

It's hard to read between the lines, especially from afar, but their motivation to put a positive spin on it could also be political. The phrase "a recent, abstruse change in the parking rules" caught my eye. Maybe they are using these revelations to support an ongoing spat over said rules.
They are not working on "just a car."

They are trying to become a mass transit provider by owning and operating a large fleet of those self-driving cars, renting them out on a per-ride basis.

That is, if they're smart.

What's wrong with that? As far as I know the point of open science is that research publications should be open not everything else, too. For non-science publications like newspapers I actually prefer payed access over ad-supported access.
Sense. It makes a difference if you run an old javascript file before loading its new replacement and running that. As in,

Original script:

<script>
location.href="http://google.com";

New script

// oops! forgot to remove this

You'll want to make sure you have the right version in place before you try to run either of them.
Wouldn't LISP become more popular if students started with LISP at school/university rather than C/C++, Java or Python? How can a young developer compare or choose if he/she had never been exposed to LISP?
As with most Apple-related rumors, the truth is probably something a lot less exciting in the end. If Apple is working on a "Car" you can bet it's just s creep of it's current offerings, so, a car that includes iOS and links to your iPhone, has navigation info in the dash provided by Apple Maps, and has iTunes integration in the dashboard.

A self driving car is not just going to magically appear from Apple. It'll take years, and offering a branded in-car experience with someone like Ford or VW would be a lot more Apple's style.

But then, I've been repeatedly wrong about Apple for years. Still, I feel like when they introduce something these days it's evolutionary, not revolutionary.

How Copenhagen rejected 1960s modernist 'utopia'
It's not difficult to pinpoint blame and there is no scapegoat.

"Brooklyn’s 70th Precinct seems to have the most cars wrongly ticketed, bringing in over $100,000 in fines a year. The 77th, also in Brooklyn, comes in second:"

That's not an oversight. That's a systematic abuse of the public trust. How about people that didn't know they were wrongfully ticketed and fined? How about people that couldn't take the time off to dispute the ticket? Its extortionate.

I hope the next time you are on the wrong side of a municipal fine you remember you remember your glib words. Its as simple as that.

You couldn't probably get complex antibody based tests for such prices.

And i've read research about labs-on-chip(theranos like tech) with a price of much less than a cent, per test and it should apply to antibodies.
...yes. Yes I am. Egg on face.

The point still stands though, it's such a shame seeing the minimisation of ports on all systems these days. I can understand using standard ports (usb-c) for peripherals, but essentials such as Ethernet, display and several USB ports (whichever format) should remain built in.
Not legally because of the DMCA anti circumvention clauses, as the post points out.

I agree. I enjoy developing the quickest route from a-z. I can write javascript. I know the dom, that its quicker to update one large dom container than it is to update many smaller elements. I have worked with and understand ajax, that rewriting a dom node before unbinding any events creates browser memory leaks causing it to eventually crash. I would not know these things if i had coded with the prescribed framework. If the argument for using them is to have team coding standards then have team coding standards. The framework creates its own problems.

To be fair, the Tesla submission covers an recent rare event while this here is more of general information about things that will happen in the future. Just this is enough to cover for the amount of comments. There is a lot to discuss.
Here in the Netherlands, if a response to your appeal contains evidence that the handling officer hasn't read your appeal properly or does not give an appropriate answer to each of your objections, it is grounds to get the ticket thrown out in court EVEN if it was a legitimate ticket.

An example: If you object to the calibration of the SPECS camera (e.g camera's that track you over a longer piece of road to determine your average speed) and the officer responds saying that the radar equipment was properly calibrated, you can have the ticket thrown out as it was not radar equipment that ticketed you and thus proper care wasn't shown during the handling of your appeal.

The author of the piece is clearly not a designer, and clearly doesn't have much of a handle on web design. They refer to HN and Pinboard as 'eschewing user-friendly interfaces' which is the complete opposite of what these clean, fast, simple designs do; for the user in general, but especially for their intended audience.

I fear this is simply evidence of how years of exposure to appalling design has blinkered some people. I like your analogy, but I think a better one would be taking a typical paperback novel from your shelf and claiming it were 'ugly' and 'difficult to read'.
Apple definitely can tear apart the status quo in dashboard/driver UI/entertainment console automotive market. They don't have to make a complete vehicle. Even with semi/fully autonomous cars there's a huge potential for a quality OEM software/sensors package.

Remember aside from the biggest car conglomerates there's a dozen smaller 2nd tier makes who can't afford building self driving car from the ground up. Even the biggest ones invest into it more out of necessity than internal motivation.
Not in the least, it's dynamically-typed with ecosystem libraries removing APIs by the dozen (upgrade your dependencies? prepare for days of verifying runtime errors of missing functions), and TypeScript is still a second-class citizen even despite the increasing amount of TypeScript-first libraries (like Angular2)...

> If there was a safe way to deliver what they want (encrypted tamper-proof streaming) in an open-source package, they would likely consider it. But there isn't, afaik.

The problem is fundamentally that "encrypted tamper-proof streaming" is not possible regardless of whether the implementation is open source. It would be trivial to write free software that respects copying restrictions. And then people would be able to bypass it using the same methods used when the copying restrictions are enforced by proprietary software, i.e. by writing different software that doesn't respect the copy restrictions.

> That ain't gonna work, when there are billion of dollars and millions of jobs at risk.

There is no risk to money or jobs. There is literally more Netflix content on torrent sites than there is on Netflix. Netflix nonetheless makes substantial profits.

Eliminating DRM would reduce piracy by improving the experience of legitimate purchasers without having any effect on the experience of people who download from torrent sites.

> Are "we" building it? No, we try to slut-shame "them" into giving up.

When you encounter someone who is demanding that everyone look for water using a divining rod, you don't build them a divining rod. You teach them that it isn't possible to find water that way.

Damn. You just reminded me that I received a recall notice for having Takata airbags in my car. I need to figure out when that recall is available (the letter said it was yet to be determined).
As far as I know, even things like:

uint16_t array[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
cout << "Hello World " << 3[array] << endl;

are valid and well defined. Part of what makes memory access validation such a pain in the ass in C++ is that no attempts are really made at specifying rules for how you can come up with memory locations; just rules on which locations you can read and write from. You can do things like "((int)rand()) = 2", and nothing in the standard says this is an invalid thing to do, so long as you are lucky enough for rand() to point somewhere allocated.

Interesting to see their approach and the reasons why they are not building more features on top of ArXiv. Although comments on papers might be a dangerous area to venture into there are definitely places on the web where the ability to annotate and comment papers is helping science move forward. A good example is the Polymath project and Terry Tao's blog. Tao's recent solution to the Erdos discrepancy problem,an 80-year-old number theory problem, was actually triggered by a comment on his blog. Another example is www.fermatslibrary.com. Although the papers in the platform are more historical/foundational, they were able to get consistently good/constructive comments that help people understand papers better.

If you stick to the rules, and you have only one branches/tags/trunk structure in your repo, and you actually set up the branches/tags/trunk structure in the first place, yes.

But my whole point is that there's far too much scope to get it wrong in ways that can be difficult to fix.

If you have multiple projects in your repo, svn cp and svn switch become cumbersome.

Many people check out the root folder with the entire structure and all the branches, and not just trunk.

I've seen projects that have nested branches/tags/trunk structures.

I've seen people check code in to two branches at once.

I've seen people "branch" by physically copying the files client-side then checking in the result. Losing the relationship between the branches that they need to merge successfully.

If you check in the merge then find you've messed it up, you can't roll back and start over without cluttering up your source history. And even then, how to do that is non-obvious and easy to get wrong.

And people DO make these mistakes repeatedly because svn treats branching and merging as an advanced technique. The first several times you do it, you invariably mess up, and leave a permanent record of how you messed up. Very often it's not you who learns that you've messed up but a colleague who does the merge. And once you learn to get it right, someone else on your team comes along and they get it wrong. The feedback loop is terrible.

Whereas with git it's a core competency so you learn you've messed up fairly quickly. And offline commits let you easily roll back when you do. The feedback loop is rapid and effective.
Equating invention of future computing technologies with human advancement is too pompous for my taste. I won't hold my breath.

I wonder if there are any families where a parent went to such a school and bought these, and then their child went to such a school and used their parent's copies, and then their child did the same?

Last time I needed something like this I used selenium.
And I use requests the rest of the time.
OK, let's talk about interface. The major problem such interface has to solve - is how keep the driver aware enough of the road at times he needs to(legally, at all times) , while making it more FUN for him than regular driving, otherwise, why bother ?

That's why i believe entertainment in some form, is critical.

So maybe that siri personality is also built in such a way to enable all-time awareness by the driver, effortlessly ?

Or another option: maybe they use some kind of brain monitoring machine like eeg, and together with music put you in some kind of meditative state fit for driving, yet very enjoyable ? but doing so in a subtle way ?

Where did I mention that Gitlab should allocate a 2 CPU 4gb RAM server for every user?

The point of the comment was to show that Gitlab performs well when there are appropriate server resources, hence the reason for Gitlab.com not performing well is because it has not been scaled up/out or both.
One problem with selenium last time I used it, was that it is very slow. Maybe this python library fixes this (i.e. no browser will show).
There's a simpler reason for the lack of an Ethernet port. Compare the size of an Ethernet port to a USB port on the Mac Pro and then look at the side of your MacBook Pro. The Ethernet port would not even fit.
Generally speaking the precedent would not apply across circuits. The law would be interpreted as X in X circuit and Y in Y circuit.

Perhaps one or two small changes like changing the line height and a comment de-scope button would be nice for usability.

It's important not to go down the slippery slope of adding too much functionality, in my opinion - look at Reddit, for instance. Structurally, very similar to HN, but I'd say it adds a little too much control and detail to the end user. Do I need to know a comment's exact karma rating, the ammount of users online in a subreddit? Does there need to be two different submit buttons? It goes on and on...

Same as always, networking :). Go to meet ups, go to conferences, talk at conferences. Do this for a while and your network will grow fast, and you'll be skipping technical interviews even. It's not quite practical for a lot of people but that's the breaks.
It's necessary for some things like games and certain web apps. I made a javascript game awhile ago, about guessing the next character in source code, which required disabling Tab.

"Why doesn't it bode well?"

For investors, i meant.

" The transistor, the laser, Unix, information theory, and a giant number of other things which form the underpinnings of modern technology came out of Bell Labs, which is the epitome of a place with a large research budget and no specific "next thing to monetize" that the spending was directed towards."

That was research for research's sake. It was, explicitly, not directed at ever making money, but instead, advancing the state of the art. I don't think any of the companies mentioned, or Apple, are doing it for that reason, and for them it does not bode well, because they are hoping to make money.

I could also point out that Bell Labs made any money at all through licensing those inventions. That is also not Apple's business model :)
Thanks!

I hate the modern design where there is one large picture at the top, and you scroll down to read the article. At some point, when scrolling down while reading, the article will randomly jump down a page or two, and I have to scroll back and find the place I was at.

I presume there is a purpose to this random jump, as I see it on site after site, but I cannot divine what it might be.

One of the reasons I like hackernews is its complete lack of artifice and trendy design.

My presentation slides also tend to be simple black on white text, using the default font, with zero decoration, borders, or any sort of design. The upside is even the back row has no trouble reading them :-)
