Funny comment, but it looks like you are fishing for downvotes here buddy. Assuming these trucks are electric, they could set it up like the Tesla recharging stations where you can recharge simply by driving over a mini-trapdoor that houses a fully charged battery pack and a robotic arm which can swap your expended pack for the new one.
> Why not create hyperloops for ultra-fast (yet relatively cheap in volume) trans-Atlantic merchandise shipping

1) There's very little merchandise that needs to be shipped trans-Atlantic that quickly.

2) Shipping containers are huge and heavy. Transporting a cargo-ship's worth requires a lot of energy, which translates into high expenses.

3) If shipping a cargo-ship's worth of containers, this will become an impossibly long train, nearing 70 miles long (around 18,000 containers per ship, and each container is about 20ft long)[1]

This has been the crux of the hyperloop since inception. The numbers really don't add up to making it more economical than any already existing alternative (even for transporting people). Shipping things via slow boat in a container is surprisingly not very expensive (given you've filled a container with goods, the goods value will greatly exceed your transport costs).

I agree that if the regulation allows it, then the self-driving car is a device like any other. I wonder if startups such as Otto will actually wait till such legislation passes in entire country, which is arguably going to take at least a decade (and they declare they don't want to be acquired, but sell to end customers).
This is really moving the goalpost from the grandparent's comment of "encrypt a zip drive with drivel, toss it in his car and call the cops".

I wrote a satirical article about this once. http://witscience.org/wit-helps-produce-safe-driverless-cars...
I thought it was at least going to be something interesting about US infrastructure, but it's really focused on NYC. Unsurprisingly, the US does not place getting costs down for subways to be one of its higher priorities. Anecdata, admittedly, but I've seen very little talk about controlling union costs for MTA workers in the rural midwest; those poor guys are supporting a subway system that's barely there!

Really, though, infrastructure stuff is neat, and we probably should start fixing it up. The main problem is the size of the US infrastructure is outstandingly staggering. There's an article [0] that's an argument for pouring money back into the highway funds (and the like), and the cash involved is worse than astronomical. At the very least, I didn't know there were over 600000 bridges in the US... I honestly don't know where we put them all. (Are overpasses included?)

Why did they move to such an expensive area? If their goal is to provide services and help everyone why not build your university in an area like Detroit?

No one who is really interested won't go because of the location and it makes rent really cheap.

Hell, you could also have the Detroit government chip in and give you a great deal on land. What is bad for an economy about bringing some of our nations smartest programmers to a single location?

I'd love this if I could afford to go to it.
roads are also expensive and trucks (combined with weather) destroy them very fast. Hyperloop cylinder should be far cheaper than trucks in the long run. I think hyperloop would be useful for amazon to reduce delivery delays.

I don't know many details about the problem, but I might suspect there's also a "perfect is the enemy of good" issue here; there are serious consequences for getting a 911 call precisely wrong, so it's better to be approximately correct and let humans do the work of narrowing-down. With a pizza delivery, if they drive up to 1234 Somewhere Lane and knock on the door asking for 1236 Somewhere Lane, someone's going to point out the problem (and if not, the cost is relatively low), so it's okay to be precisely incorrect.

I view this as a key task for societies: Insuring that quick changes due to technological progress (or any other quick changes that are hard for anyone and especially individuals to foresee and plan for, like natural disasters) don’t leave people behind, in destitution or poverty or without any perspective.

If the World’s societies were up to that task more frequently less talk about jobs would be necessary.

Natural disasters are obviously a quite different story (but one where some societies are at least marginally better at supporting people, mostly because everyone accepts that people are just blameless and that makes it somehow easier to help), but technological progress usually benefits some people immensely and frequently has a positive (on average) on society as a whole. (But even that rising tide can leave people behind and leave people behind until they eventually just die of old age. So not a pleasant situation and those people have to be taken care of.)

Because of this it should be no problem to temporarily support those who are left behind. If current assumptions hold that support might even just have to be quite temporary (since beyond a certain point people will just stop wanting to do certain jobs because it’s obvious those have no future), so it’s not like we have that obligation forever.

Obviously, if current assumptions don’t hold (and large segments of the population will be permanently out of a job with no way to really change that, even across longer timeframes) we have to look for alternate solutions, like basic income, but that doesn’t seem too difficult, either. We just have to want it.

It really depends on your app logic. If you need to process data in waterfall like model and you have multiple tasks working in same time you still need to use asynchronous calls or you will lock the execution of code in node. In go you just lock the gorutine in which you make I/O call.
Callback hell shouldn't exist. It just means you haven't abstracted out your logic properly.

For me, one of the great things about Hacker News is that every person on the site is a new comer to some of the topics presented. Perhaps more importantly, for any technical topic there is a high probability that there is a user for whom the article is so basic as to be technically uninformative...I mean there is a reasonable probability that one or more of the people who use HN actually rode in Feynman's van at some point.

To me, the risk to Hacker News is that comments inconsistent with HN's ethos of civility, dissuade people from the vulnerability that comes when one posts original work. And I'd prefer people put a bit more effort into writing thoughtful and reflective comments.

On that note about bridges; When I was in Cuba, the tour guide made a special note to point out this bridge they had that connected one part of the island to another over a large valley. Apparently it was a big deal to get this bridge built? The Russians built it for them in the 80s, but before that, it was a nightmare moving around. It didn't look like much to me, a regular bridge that I've seen a thousand times here in Canada.

It put in perspective for me how expensive bridges really are. They couldn't afford to build one, crucial bridge. It took a major super power to do it.
AmazonBasics products don't do that, why would their generic cereal?
Indeed. It has been said many times before: machine learning is all about the data, not about the algorithms.
Oh no, my estimates were really in favor of the parent's comparison. That $600k is a lowest-bidder minimum, expecting to redo in a month when it fails.

I'd be interested to know more about the breakdown, and I'd bet at least some municipalities are required to share it. A well trained road crew is likely pretty expensive, and as others noted, there's a lot more to a road than a driveway. Most driveways I've seen are largely cement planks, whereas a road is layers of differing materials to ensure frequent use doesn't destroy it too quickly.

As for bridges. Eugh. I dunno. Those things are often crazy expensive. I wouldn't be surprised though, since that bridge is rather large and suffers a lot more wear and tear than NASA. I mean, they just need to punch a few one-time use rockets into space, but that bridge has to deal with thousands of semis. Space is a nasty place, but I'm betting thousands of trucks barreling over is harder to deal with year in and out.

The majority of miles of paved city blocks in the US can easily be shutdown during the day. The streets are often a grid, so there are easy detours.

Macros do not need to be implemented with eval, unless they're lexically scoped macros. They're just normal function, normally complied just like anything else.

Adobe has dumped Flash on mobile. A sure sign that Flash will be dropped on the desktop, too, as developers aren't going to want to have to maintain two workflows.

To support Flash means you are supporting a proprietary software tool and the company behind it, selling development tools.

Even some of new packages that i saw are still written in pure callback way because authors prefer that old school way of doing things.

Looks like Safari is no longer rendering the fonts correctly. (It used to work but I hesitate to blame Safari because font files are complex and maybe there's a problem with the ones that I'm using.) I've dropped the custom font now.
My alternative: buy 2+ external drives and a fire/water proof box. Keep one drive unplugged and in the box when not backing up. Keep other n-1 drives elsewhere and swap with the local occasionally.

I have one at work, and another at my parent's house, more than 100 miles away. In case of a literal blaze and/or high water, even the local drive should be fine. If all drives are gone from a single catastrophe, I figure I (and everyone else) have more serious things to worry about, like what's for dinner.

I am no fan of compelled decryption, and believe it is a violation of 5th amendment rights. That being said, I think the government's argument is stronger than usual having proven that he has accessed files regularly in the encrypted drive by showing logs of regular access to content with suspicious filenames.

The police have a fundamentally different argument here than "it happened to be in his possession".

The "cool URLs" idea doesn't (AFAIK) cover mutability and temporal issues.

In 1998, "yahoo.com" referred to the homepage of Yahoo!. In 2016, "yahoo.com" still refers to the homepage of Yahoo!. The content of the page isn't the same, but it's still the same 'entity' (the homepage of Yahoo!). Hence, despite Yahoo! being uncool, and the contents of the Yahoo! homepage being uncool, the URL of the Yahoo! homepage is cool.

It would be nice if URLs had a built-in capability to reference immutable versions of things, similar to git references. This is done on niche networks like IPFS (I think) and Freenet. It's easy to imagine a DNS-like layer which sends "pet names" like "yahoo.com" to the latest version, whilst leaving "raw" names alone (like DNS does for IP addresses).

With that said, it would also be nice if DOM elements got their own URLs which user agents could load instead of the whole page (imagine anchors but using something like XPath). That would make hyperlinks more useful and bring us a step closer to Xanadu-like behaviour, e.g. rather than copying text from a page and wrapping it in quotation marks, you could embed that element inside (a quotation element inside) your page.
