Nothing says you need to buy in exactly 10 years. If your in a rent controlled apartment you get to ratchet down if things get cheaper or stay out. Get a great offer somewhere else, move without the overhead of selling at a huge loss. It's effectivly a hedge.

As to ROI the car thing saves you around 6% meaning you need less than 4% from everything else to average out. Other options including dividend stocks are very likely to provide 4+% over 10 years ex Coca Cola. Is that 100% well no, but you can also make well over 4%. 450k or 650k is not a major issue vs. being yet another person who pasts on HN 10 years in startups and nothing to show for it.

Much like risking buying a house for the market to drop 40% in 10 years.
I wasn't saying the current system is great, there's a lot wrong with it yes I agree. The impact factor thing is also a pretty silly metric to me as well, I agree with you there. The point I was trying to make, albeit sarcastically, was that the system the guy proposed is what we have today just without the extra hoops to jump through. Like I have absolutely no interest in maintaining a Bitcoin wallet or whatever nor do I want anything to do with them. I'll take my funding in dollars or euros or something real and tangible please.
Context is probably http://fortune.com/2016/07/06/tesla-autopilot-crash-material...

SEC statements are usually covering a lot of stuff, so I doubt it's very surprising.

But I'm still not convinced by their argumentation on the safety of the Autopilot.

>That contrasted against worldwide accident data, customers using Autopilot are statistically safer than those not using it at all.

I can only cite German data [0], but on the Autobahn there is a death every 90 million miles driven. But that includes drunk drivers, old cards, old drivers etc. Teslas Autopilot being save in over 100 million miles doesn't really sound that much better, especially considering the smaller sample size. And in this case, the death could've probably been avoided by not using autopilot.

Steamspy is highly inaccurate, but I do think Vive sales are generally healthy, and it seems like they are making them about as fast as they can be sold now. It has enough of an install base for quality content to make it onto the top 10 list when they launch, as Pool Nation VR did a few weeks ago. The general public still has not tried VR (barring maybe cardboard) and a very vocal group is against the very idea of it. Still a pretty steep mountain to teleport up.

The Void's Ghostbusters game looks amazing. They are using custom hardware and a more expensive tracking technique, but it is an awesome example of a "VR-Arcade" sort of business.

I find the title quite misleading as I was expecting support of ES6 modules syntax, which is one of the most important change that came with ES6. But it looks like it's still work in progress (see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147340 ).
I also own both, and I find myself agreeing with you on half these points and disagreeing on the other half.

In particular, the Vive is really only harder to set up because it's the full deal right out of the box. The Rift is just the headset, an Xbox controller, and a single webcam that you can place on your desk. Out of the box, the Rift is wholly incapable of room-scale VR. Of course, that will change with Touch, but at that point it won't be any easier to set up.

I will agree with you that the Rift's picture quality is significantly better. The Vive suffers from severe chromatic aberration towards the edges. You do get used to it very quickly because of how engaging the experiences are, but when I switch between the headsets it's the very first thing I notice.

I think the problem of comfort is a complex one. The Rift is definitely lighter and it has a better weight distribution. And yet somehow the Vive is really not uncomfortable at all for me. It has a much softer face cushion for one thing. Overall I'd say it's a bit of a wash in this department. I slightly prefer the Rift, but not as much as I thought I would.
I'm citing section (f) of the law:

"Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

Well sure. That's the whole concept of "inflation". If we constantly revalued money such that gross world product was a trillion dollars, trillionaires would not be inevitable.

Despite a nod to the fact that, adjusting for inflation, John D. Rockefeller was several times richer than Bill Gates, this whole article seems to be nothing more than a weird ritualistic focus on a particular numeric value of a fiat currency. Such a figure is completely meaningless.
> If you disable passwords, then you need to use password-less sudo.

unfortunately that's true. But it shouldn't have to be. There is a libpam-ssh-agent-auth which makes use of a forwarded ssh-agent socket to authenticate to whenever sudo needs it, which means that you have to re-authenticate your ssh-key locally.

It works, but it never really took of, and tbh I wouldn't trust it's security. But the authentication flow is something I would want.

An issue tracker is a tracker for issues, not the guestbook to the project. You could've emailed the author, link to him on social media, on your website, submit to reddit etc... but you choose to open an issue on his issue tracker, and put that here on HN in a comment. Even if you intended differently, it's how it look to an outsider.

On your last paragraph, yes, github used to show who reports issues as contributed to the project to which they reported. I recall at one point having reported an embarassing silly issue (a very stupid config mistake I made that I don't recall) to Pelican blogware and it went there among the contributed projects as a badge of dishonour. :) But now I checked, that section seems to be gone from the profile page on gihtub.

Gross negligence and extreme carelessness are not the same. Gross negligence is a conscious and voluntary disregard of the need to use reasonable care. Clinton clearly understood the need for reasonable care as she took some security measures and asked people not to email her confidential materials. She merely did a poor job executing on the knowledge that care was needed, which in this case is not actually illegal (especially when grave harms did not occur, which is an additional legal factor).

The laws are written around consent because the goal of the law is to enable punishment of people who intend to harm the US government. Note that Comey said that it's the individual's responsibility to know when material is confidential, even if that is not marked. Yet even information that is widely reported on in the media can still be considered confidential. The law is written to protect those who take "careless" or "negligent" actions in light of the difficulty of the task of maintaining confidentiality during the kind of extensive communications required to execute the business of government.
> If there's a rocket in the game, rest assured that there is a "Rocket" class (Assuming the code is C++) which contains data for exactly one rocket and does rockety stuff.

Probably true.

> With no regard at all for what data tranformation is really being done, or for the layout of the data.

I agree that OO design is usually not done with regard for the layout of the data.

> Or for that matter, without the basic understanding that where there's one thing, there's probably more than one.

Say what? In C++, you'd simply create another object that is another instance of the Rocket class. Behold, "more than one".

> Though there are a lot of performance penalties for this kind of design, the most significant one is that it doesn't scale. At all. One hundred rockets costs one hundred times as much as one rocket.

Well, see, one hundred rockets have one hundred times the data that one rocket has. I don't see how you can avoid that, no matter how you represent the data or whether you do it as OO or something else.

But you don't duplicate the code 100 times, just the data. You might also have 100 instances of a pointer to a virtual function table, which means you've wasted 100 times the size of one pointer. That's not impressing me with the inefficiency here.

So you can color me unimpressed with this whole argument on lie #2.

There's a reason Jenkins is still used so widely. It's not because of utilization or all the other things pointed out. When your project gets big enough, managing the CI pipeline turns into a distributed systems problem with distributed queues, locks, error/failure recovery, and all the other headaches that such systems bring. Heck, reporting alone on a test suite with 12k tests is a problem in and of itself.

> "Guide to User Data Security"

Why would they give out advice like that ? Is that supposed to be a test?

Does this replace all the files on your servers with:

>Lesson One: Don't give random script you find on the internet access to your servers without even reading about what they do?

Security isn't a product that you can just slap on to an existing system and feel good about being secure. One would think that that should be somewhere in the first paragraph on any guide to User Data Security.
I expect some of it is just down to comparative size: Apple nowadays have pretty few people working on WebKit (and the JavaScriptCore team is really small—though I doubt V8 people, now mostly in Munich, appear in the Bay Area often!).
It's not alarming. HN readers don't like HN being filled with the day's political drama and the kind of comments that follow it -- enough that the algorithm holds those stories to a higher bar, and the users tend to flag them.

VR is great but making any decent 3D model or environment requires enormous amount of labor. Without better tools I don't see VR being used for anything but games since you'll need to throw huge teams and many hours at making anything decent. Most (all?) VR apps and games I've used look like shit.
* I should clarify as well, for your first question. State of the art is generally either IBM's 2016 English Conversational Telephone Speech Recognition System [0], or Baidu's DeepSpeech2 [1]. IBM's is a little more complex, but I'd actually argue Baidu is more promising due to the robust ability to learn new languages.

For me, the headsets would also need to be way lower profile. I think by then the distinction between AR/VR will be very small though.
I strangely don't have the same policy - but it does depend on my safety. Home in Trondheim (Norway), I regularly give to one particular beggar when I see him. The begging is in general organized (the police know, and refuse to do anything because folks aren't agressive). He generally just smiles and says hi to folks. Others, I give occasionally. Never to anyone agressive, and never that much. I have to admit, however, that sometimes I think the folks earn it simply for sitting outside for hours in the wintertime. I'll occasionally grab some change when I know I'm going to the center of town for that reason.

In Amsterdam, I'm cautious, especially if I'm traveling alone. I'm female, and though I know security is there, some people are pretty agressive anyway. I've given a cigarette here and there, but nothing more.

When I lived in the states, it would depend on the situation. I assumed most folks were lying, but would give change or a dollar or two occasionally, depending on attitude. I've occasionally bought a cheap meal for folks, or coffee.

I figure overall, a few folks really needed the money or were really appreciative, so it all works out. I'm not giving anything that takes food or anything away from myself, so I'm not losing anything either. I wish no one needed to do such things, or lie about their situation or be able to earn more begging than with a normal job - but that's not the world I live in right now.
Where booms really come from is when someone invents a taller ladder. Then a whole bunch of fruit suddenly becomes "low hanging" that wasn't before. (Yes, that became a horribly butchered metaphor. I still think it makes a valid point about how booms occur. They come from newer and better tools that make things easy that used to be hard.)

AFAICT, no. I actually did some work on the build process to sanitise it for fixing some stuff later (use bmake on tree root and use a single platform.h with ifdefs instead of cd $OS && make stupidity, which the author of xombrero seems to like; tested only on freebsd tho), but I didn't have any spare time for that yet.

I hope modelling/engineering/architectural/etc software gets a hell of a lot of VR integration, that's always seemed to me the perfect application - it allows for an environment that close as possible the real thing without losing the technical tools that allow for rapid prototyping. Thinking of stuff like Autodesk Inventor, where in 2D it feels almost like you're milling physical items, with the ability to morph or clone or whatever at will. With VR, the development experience could be phenomenal.
It's American capitalism. We just lost our way.

"Servants, labourers and workmen of different kinds, make up the far greater part of every great political society. But what improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as an inconvenience to the whole. No society can surely be ﬂourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe, and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed and lodged." - Adam Smith

It's not actually clear to me that she put national security at risk. During the recent U.S. State Department hack, an unclassified email system was compromised. Most of the emails Clinton sent (99.6%) were not classified at the time, and could have been sent on that email system. Even most of those that were classified were not marked as such, and still could have been sent on the unclassified system in error (which would not have been illegal either, assuming there was no intent).

For me, a better argument has to do with minimizing exposure to freedom of information.

Well, a number of years ago, my wife asked me when a building had been built. I thought, "Just click on Help/About and look at the copyright date... Oh, wait. I can't do that on a physical object." But with VR, I could.

Now, I'm not saying that I think that VR is the next big thing. I would pay approximately $0 for the ability to know when a building was built, and I've only ever wanted to know (even mildly) once.
I assume that you consider the link to refute the 'scarce' part.

I'm not convinced by this, especially when I see emails from Sec. Clinton like these:

Someone had issues sending her a secure fax and she replied that he should send it nonpaper and unsecure and to make it even worse - remove the identifying header (classified, secret, top secret and so on)

This is intent in my view. Not to harm the US, but to ignore the law because it's more convenient to her.

Agreed, this is the iPhone 1 right now (like when it was $500), only early adopters / fans / developers will grab the higher end systems for now (although, the PSVR coming out later this year might change that a bit). But those people will show their friends and they'll start watching and then Gen 2 comes out, cheaper and better, and it takes off.

Cardboard/Gear (to some extent) is like a flip-phone for VR. Without positional tracking, it barely qualifies as VR imo, and honestly one of my fears is that people will try Cardboard/GearVR and assume that is all that VR is and will be turned off.

I think these large companies will continue to throw money into this for a while, hell look at all the news last week from HTC.
