That would tend to introduce biases in the case. Court cases are not supposed to be about the people, but the events that happened. Many aspects of the court system deliberately attempt to remove such information from jurors to avoid such biases.

That said, I tend to think it should be a public record outside of court at least.

It is not easy but it should be done. Keeping a car steadily between lanes is not easy either, or take self driving cars that is hard. Besides, research into some of this has already been done with aircraft and pilots.

> It's due to how humans react to the new feature itself, not because it's a bad feature, or a misunderstanding about how users 'normally' react.

It is a bad feature. Feature doesn't exist in a void, it exists only because humans are using it. "Human presses the brakes, what to do next?" is a feature with a human in the loop.

> Cognitive burden is a critical consideration in all system design from airplanes to cell phones, but tragically is often overlooked.

Exactly. Moreover "mode confusion" (human not understanding what mode the aircraft autopilots or other systems are in, and then reacting assuming a different mode) is a common cause of crashes.

There were tools and studies specifically geared towards mode confusion:

http://shemesh.larc.nasa.gov/fm/fm-now-mode-confusion.html

Asiana 214 is a recent example of pilot assuming the autothrottle was on, but it wasn't, so plane crashed. It is a bit like here, the user assumed Tesla would slow down some but then stay in the automatic mode.

Non-Chinese students also have those same problems, but they don't cheat like the Chinese.

Chinese students cheat because cheating is part of Chinese culture. Go to China and you'll be shocked at how little people care about others in public, or society at large.

This is a place where bystanders will watch cars swerve wildly around an open manhole cover over and over, nearly getting in accidents, doing nothing to help. When the Westerner comes by and closes the manhole cover, the Chinese are surprised. They'd never consider doing anything like that, because - what's in it for them?

This is a country where people pay others to go to prison for them. If they clip a child with their car, they'll deliberately run over the child again and again to make sure he dies and doesn't create hospital bills.

I was never more staggered by rampant, blatant cheating, plagiarism or dishonesty than when I spent a semester studying in a university there. For someone raised in the West, Chinese callousness and dishonesty towards strangers is unbelievable until you experience it.
Hardware guru that taught me warned of another risk: you can't uninvent an advance tech once it's invented. The point being such techniques assume you can inspect what's going on because you're using components you know do only X. Yet, as chips get nanoscale, you can actually embed entire CPU's and RF systems in between larger components on others that are invisible to visual inspection and might not show up in black box testing. You can try to act like those nodes and their risks don't exist but subversives can still use them against you.

The simple method here might be swapping more discrete chips or components out for others that are those components plus entire SOC's. Then, once they know your configuration, they hit you. Or they tell each to leak on a different frequency or whatever all at once with them figuring it out later. All kinds of crazy stuff is possible.

So, just make sure you buy older stuff under different names with cash at unusual locations. Have proxies do it for you with legit excuses. Then, use multiple systems with voter logic. Tends to work out better than alternatives. Usability issues for sure, though. :)

As another use points out, there was some relevant discussion earlier on HN about using Nix+Docker: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11502989

Copying a comment I left on that blog post:

---

Q: "What does building a a Docker image using Nix give you over creating a regular Dockerfile to build a Docker image?"

A:

* Better abstraction (e.g. the example of a function that produces docker images)

* The Hydra build/CI server obviates the need for paying for (or administering a self hosted) docker registry, and avoids the imperative push and pull model. Because a docker image is just another Nix package, you get distributed building, caching and signing for free.

* Because Nix caches intermediate packages builds, building a Docker image via Nix will likely be faster than letting Docker do it.

* Determinism. With Docker, you're not guaranteed that you'll build the same image across two machines (imagine the state of package repositories changing -- it's trivial to find different versions of packages across two builds of the same Dockerfile). With Nix, you're guaranteed that you have the same determinism that any other Nix package has (e.g. everything builds in a chroot without network access (unless you provide a hash of the result, for e.g. tarball downloads))

---

IMO, NixOS almost subsumes Docker. Where Docker gives you a way to guarantee that the contents of an image will be the same across two machines, it does little to ensure that building that image from a given Dockerfile is a deterministic. One of Docker's neat tricks is using layers to try to save on disk util -- but even then, Nix beats Docker; if you start two different containers using Nix packages, the common packages are shared across both containers, whereas two different Docker images with an uncommon base would not share the common files.

Docker mostly looks like someone set out to answer two questions:

1. How can we work around all of the problems inherent in conventional package management so we can have a smidgen of determinism?

2. How can we have a relatively nice/cohesive UI around launching/inspecting containers and managing networking/bind-mounts?

#1 can be side-stepped entirely with a package manager that doesn't cause all of those problems in the first place (Nix/Guix).

#2 is still quite useful, but would have been better served as layering on top of something like Nix or Guix (not that I really approve of the "wannabe systemd" daemon approach that Docker employs (all while being, ironically, rather difficult to use with systemd: https://lwn.net/Articles/676831/ )).

Companies that extract advertising and other revenue from around the world, like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc, should create job centers outside of the Bay Area.

This is the only way that house prices will moderate, is if these globally significant companies spread their distribution of money around the country/world. There's too much concentration of money flowing into the Bay Area in terms of revenues, and that is creating this hyper-inflation that we see here.

My house value when up by 60% in 2 years. I can sell it for almost $2 million if I wanted to, which I don't. I keep thinking it's not sustainable, until I hear the offers that people get from these companies. Google offered one of my friend $160k + 400k in RSUs, and Facebook offered another one $180k and $500k in RSUs. That's well over $1M over 4 years for both. Of course salaries like this will cause hyper-inflation in this area.

I believe schools have some charter with the government about this. In exchange for federal money, schools agree to uphold some standard of quality. If they are failing at that, it could be grounds for other students to sue the school.

This happened at UNC when athletes were taking bogus classes [1], but the judge tossed out the case because the students waited too long to sue [2]

IMO, experience indicates that the best code quality comes well away from deadlines. Code written just before a tight deadline or during the recovery period afterward could always use extra scrutiny.

Is it really a surprise that the distractions, disruptions, and fatigue of stress affect a task that requires significant focus, concentration, and creativity? Or that not having much time to review and revise your work will result in lower quality than if you did have the chance to improve it?

Kind of strikes me as a "Breaking news - water is wet!" announcement.

Yeah, but it sounds like the extreme end of ad-hoc.
A benevolent dictator could bulldoze easily upwards of 50% of housing in areas like the sunset, entire peninsula, and Oakland, and replace it with high quality, high density condos that would increase quality of living by at least 10x, while reducing costs by 50%. But, alas, we got kleptocrats.
It's worthwhile to consider where the point of diminishing returns is with education. I'd argue that we are well past it. There is not really that much work even in the modern economy that requires more than a 10th grade general education. We know that because in countries like Germany it is quite common for someone to exit the formal schooling system at 16 and still get a white collar job.
Yup, thus part of the angst about relocating or not!
They raised millions of dollars of VC funding. There certainly are ways to raise money to grow your business slowly and under terms that you're in better control of (small business loans from traditional banks are a great example), but when you agree to take VC money you do it with the intent that you'll grow, baby, grow.

There are plenty of xenophobes and racists who actually do insist that they're concerned about race itself.

Anyway, it seems that what you want to establish is not that xenophobes and racists "insist it's about culture", but that anyone who "insists it's about culture" is a xenophobe or racist.
Some landlords (such as our firm) are liquidating our rental assets due to the increasing risk of 1979-1995 properties being pulled into rent control regimes. Cities like San Jose, Richmond, San Mateo, just this year either debated increasing or actually increased control over rental properties. The population is rising; the supply of rental units is too low; cities want to stop landlords from raising prices; so they are just this year increasing rent control (San Jose just did this).

Anything built before 1995 (that's a California State statute) can be (will be) rent controlled (unless population drops dramatically in cities near the coast).

The State passed a law (the "Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act") that prevents California cities from pulling in any property built after 1995 into a rent control regime. But Costa-Hawkins does not protect rental properties built between 1979-1995.

Right now, properties built before 1979 are rent-controlled in California cities (San Francisco, San Jose, etc.)

But at the drop of a gavel, a municipality can pull in all properties built between 1979 and 1995 into rent control -- the Costa-Hawkins is the only thing stopping municipalities at the year 1995 (they'd like to be able to rent control every property necessary to accommodate their increasing population over time).

The citizens of a municipality in Southern California -- Santa Monica I believe -- narrowly defeated a rent control change designed to extend rent control to apartments built up to 1995.

That does not help supply. Jerry Brown trying to 'fast track' development does not remove the risk that newer properties will be rent controlled in the future.

A new developer sees partial-confiscation of their asset being a possibility, because the California legislature could modify Costa-Hawkins and remove 1995 as the limit year for rent control.

Once a city/state has demonstrated a commitment to seizure of:

- a restaurant's right to increase prices
- a dentist's right to increase prices
- a doctor's right to increase prices
- a private school's right to increase prices
- a rental property's right to increase prices

Those restrictions lead to:
- fewer restaurants
- fewer dentists
- fewer doctors
- fewer private schools
- fewer apartments

Businesses must have freedom to operate or no one will start businesses (supply of businesses will drop).

Once a city/state has demonstrated a commitment to partial seizure of personal assets (restaurant, dental practice, apartment property, etc.) of a person, or a business, there is a very strong likelihood that 'seizure/state control' tendency will never stop.

So the governor of California can wave his hands all he wants with this kind of "fast track" proposal to building real estate assets in California.

Until the state makes it clear that they will stop the partial or "legislative seizure" of rental properties, very few developers are stupid enough to risk a change/nullification of Costa-Hawkins.

Candidate A stuck it out for four years. They took all the right classes. But they didn't do much of anything else.

Candidate B dropped out after three years. But they've done some quite interesting side projects, they know a bunch of languages, and stuff outside the coursework, and the courses they took were the harder ones.

Generally, and for openers, 'A' is gonna struggle explaining what the heck an XOR is, while 'B' is going to toss off the answer in a couple of seconds. And their skills just keep diverging from there. I'll have confidence that 'B' will keep growing and learning, and they're going to be a handful, while 'A' is going to need to be told what to do, and that will be tiresome.

This ^^^ is kind of a parody, but you can tell what I'm looking for, early on. (People with more experience, I look for significant contributions to hard problems, and I'm really interested in how people decide what to work on).

Please don't try to find out someone's "sexual alignment" in a job interview. That way leads to lawsuits.

Yes, and the article casually implies that ZFS totally works not only on Linux but also on OS X[1], which is... a stretch.

I check on it every year or so, but my impression is that ZFS on Mac is still so far behind where ZFS is on FreeBSD and (more recently) Linux, that it isn't really clear whether ZFS will ever work reasonably on the Mac.

(I would love to hear experiences of people actually using it on OS X, though! I may be out of date.)

If someone is living in the mission there are only 3 options;
1) They own their house
2) They are renting but their unit is rent controlled
3) They are rich or have high paying jobs (and building more actually helps them)

"Because the actual building they live in gets demolished to build another building"

This happens very rarely, people will literally revolt before a rent controlled unit gets demolished in the mission

So someone opposing more building in the mission falls into the first two categories and they are extremely selfish
I think you're mistaking value to redditors with value to reddit. Clearly the benefit to the average redditor is minimal at best. But considering imgur is creating its own communities at this point, and linkjacking direct images to point to ad-serving pages on mobile, imgur is arguably increasingly a direct competitor to reddit. By serving images directly through reddit, reddit can increase the time you spend there, increasing their ad revenue.

Edit: evidently, direct image links are serving ads on mobile. I haven't tried it to confirm this myself.
Reddit needs to grow its revenue to be sustainable.

It looks to me as if all recent changes work towards the goal of making reddit a mainstream site platable to the average customer who does not know or care about adblock and innovative marketing techniques.
