$110k is an opening offer to a new grad these days. A few years in, you'd be at least $140-$150k. These are not outlier rockstars; they are standard pay bands at big tech companies. (And to be clear I'm talking salary, stock would be a few tens of thousands on top of that).

I'm not sure how attainable $200k is, but $105k for a mid-career adult is quite low. Perhaps that is the case at actual startups, definitely not the big ones or unicorns.
I agree it probably can't distinguish between those heights, which is a danger either way : not recognizing going under a trailer or accidentally braking at overpasses. Neither are very safe or pass "human level".

Of course we should have undercarriage bars regardless.
If the suppliers were promoting their other distribution channels inside Walmart you may have the shadow of a point.

And don't get me wrong, I think Apple should allow Spotify or any one else to tell the customer, inside the App, that there are other ways to pay. I think it will create a healthier environment for all, including Apple, but I was just responding to op's comment.
I hope you read the release and find out what happens, I look forward to a thorough investigation into the sensors that failed in this case. I may be wrong, but a majority of HN readers with teslas understand that it's a glorified cruise-control that can stay within a lane up to a certain degree. It's an autopilot in the same sense that autopilots exist for airplanes - and airliners are NOT WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL PILOTS. It might be that the bar needs to be raised for drivers licenses for semi-autonomous vehicles.

Well, the author talked about meetings after meetings, slow progress and a huge hierarchy of bosses, and you assumed they are wrong to call it bullshit because "Human nature isn't bullshit, and any endeavor which requires a large number of people to accomplish requires the management of human nature."

As if its inevitable that the "management of human nature" should necessarily take the form the author argued against.

Agreed. This was an effort to determine if Google Voice fell in this category. If call quality is decent and doesn't drop more than a regular landline, it makes it worth it.

Interesting. Following serial there was an interview with Jay by The Intercept where he talks about incosistencies in his story, and how lied about some details because he was drug dealing from his grandmothers house and he wanted to protect her from any fallout.

I find his response to this question compelling when talking about Sarah Koenig and Serial:

" Was the name ‘Serial’ ever used?

No. Not to my recollection. She kept saying ‘This American Life,’ ‘the radio,’ and ‘a documentary.’ There was no talk of ‘Serial’ or a podcast. Then I asked her outright, ‘Are you an advocate for Adnan?’ She said ‘No,’ that she wasn’t his advocate. But she said that she had talked to Adnan, and she wanted to get more information about the case. She said there was new evidence, and I said there’s no new evidence that’s gonna change what I saw: I saw Hae dead in the trunk of the car. If Adnan wants to take the stand now and explain that away, let him. But there’s no evidence that’s gonna change what I saw. I don’t know how she was murdered, I don’t know exactly how she got put in that trunk, and I told the cops that. If Koenig wants to get into how that all happened she can go there. But that doesn’t change what I saw. And that’s the only time I commented directly on the case to her. "

Bitcoin miners don't have any incentive to make possibly risky changes to the software. Recent congestion and changes have increased fees which seems to me a strong incentive to keep the status quo of limited scalability.

Yesterday, network access was taken down to sharethesafety.org which was hosted on our service by a customer, an intermediate platform provider. We want to let you know what happened.

On June 23rd, we received notice from the NRA's counsel that sharethesafety.org was infringing NRA’s trademarks. The NRA demanded that we remedy the problem by removing the material. In response, we followed our standard procedures for trademark infringement notices and informed the customer immediately of the NRA’s demands. We provided more than 5 days for the customer to respond to or resolve the issue. We also spoke to the customer on several occasions to inform them that we intended to take action on the trademark claim. They chose not to remove the violating material. Accordingly, our Trust & Safety team restricted network access to their Droplet, which caused an outage to all of their user’s websites hosted on that Droplet. In less than 2 hours of the outage, the customer was able to address the trademark notice, and network access was immediately restored.

DigitalOcean followed procedures that help protect us from having to resolve what can be complicated disputes between third party rights holders and our customers regarding IP issues. In this case we should have given greater care to the customer’s voice and their right to engage in parody. In retrospect, we believe that the website identified in the NRA’s takedown notice was not a trademark infringement but was instead protected by the First Amendment. We at DigitalOcean champion freedom of speech and the free and open web.

Going forward, we will be working closely with our legal counsel to review our Trust & Safety procedures so we can make better decisions. We are committed to providing our customers with the best level of service and supporting their rights and freedoms. That is our responsibility as an infrastructure service provider and one that I take very seriously.

Sincerely,

Another interesting aspect of the evolution of the Dalvik and ART runtimes is that they are runtimes for (mostly) battery-powered devices. A JIT compiler was an obvious next step but less obvious is that it had to be battery conscious. It was designed to JIT as little code as possible to attain the greatest gain in performance as possible. That's not how you would design a JIT compiler for server Java!
Yeah, the June 25th update is pretty extensive. Thanks for submitting this.
I'm sure they had no idea it was a solved problem in Swift and are very embarrassed...

The level of arrogance to think we know better than the developers working at a company on what they should / shouldn't write is astounding.

Nike doesn't need to justify anything to any of us, though as someone who writes apps using Swift, it looks distinctly different from other JSON parsers. I'll explore using it in a future project.

Thanks for contributing to open source, Nike!
Social Sharing Best Practices: What We Learned Analyzing 200M Shares
Really? That is something I dreamed about for a long time. A small object on the finger is the least obstructive form factor and becomes part of self. But unlike a fingerprint, a ring can be replaced if somehow compromised.
> Is your friend/loved one more valuable than the 90 other people who die in automotive accidents (in the U.S. alone) daily?

To me, the key factor is blame. Who do we fault in an accident? We can't imprison an algorithm or put it in jail. But we can implicate a careless driver. A loved one should not have to die because a truck happened to be the right shade of white — not without much discussion and the possibility of legal recourse.

There are many horrible, systemic things we could do to improve the lives of the majority at the expense of a few. In the end, we usually determine that the rights of individuals outweigh the utilitarian benefit. Does the same reasoning apply to self-driving cars? I don't know. If the technology proves as safe as people make it out to be, maybe things will end up OK. But it's not a closed case by any means.
What reason do you have to believe that? What are you basing this on?

Just because something is in development longer doesn't mean the quality is better. Furthermore, Tesla might be gaining some critical information with their early release. And whose to say Tesla didn't test this stuff to the best of their abilities?

'Significantly lower accident rates' compared to what, exactly? The highly accurate accident rates collected from the many decades of experience with Tesla accidents that never happened?

My rather unscientific observation is that 'seeking novelty' enables you to think about things in different ways, to consider new approaches. I think 'expanding one's consciousness' could be aptly said in this regard.

Playing a sport, on a team involves so many dynamics that just don't exist when thinking in a classical intellectual sense whilst writing code, for example.

Living in a country for an extended period wherein the prevailing language and culture is not your own ... this can be really quite mind altering.

I think that the above correlation, pulled from the article maybe doesn't quite capture it. They basically state basically that 'novelty keeps you interested and motivated', I suspect there might be more than that.

Though obviously it's hard to discern since we don't really have a true model for brain functions and cognition.
Non-native speaker here. I never say "could of" when I meant "could've", or "there" when I meant "their" or "they're". I don't understand why native speakers confuse them so much. Our brains must be wired differently because of how we learned to speak and write the language.

That is all true. My concern about bitcoin ETF is that the custodian is a high value target. To paraphrase Brian Armstrong, it's a potential 1B dollar bug bounty.

Calling it 'autopilot' is a very bad thing, then, because 'autopilot' means 'runs automatically' to the general public.

And even though actual autopilots in planes are monitored by meatpilots, meatpilots can still take their attention away for a short time. The autopilot keeps the plane flying straight and level, and doesn't take on any navigational role (in most cases). Unless your roads are dead straight and there's no traffic, driving requires a constant navigational role.

>It's a great deal simpler to have a process that runs when code is merged in to a repo than to have a manual process of copying files to a server that relies on a human getting things right.

Who said it's has to be either one or the other?

The "manual process of copying files to a server" can be done simply by a person for a small scale project, and it also can be automated any way one likes -- e.g. to "automatic copy files to a server when code is merged in to a repo".

"Copy a file to a directory and the server just works and shows it" doesn't imply manual ftp uploading or manual editing of any kind -- it's just so flexible and easy that can it work that way too.

And if anything breaks, it's still simpler to find out what went wrong -- as opposed to some convoluted server deployment process with more moving parts.
>> if self driving cars are (...)

That's a hypothetical. You say autonomous cars are "poised" to save many lives -not even avoid many deaths, actively "save".

That's very strong language to use based on an "if" that nobody yet knows the answer to with any certainty.

That is, unless you are privy to some information that the rest of us are not? Are you?

What is it that you base your assertion on? Do you base it on anything or is it just a pretty turn of phrase you thought sounded cool?
In the US, two popular anti-establishment candidates campaigned against free trade. Protectionism is popular. It's not a stereotype.

I get that UBI doesn't prevent people from getting jobs. I support it. It's just not a solution for people who's jobs have been automated away because lots of people were never looking for the freedom to accept a job that pays less the way UBI allows. It's like shortening Everest to improve mountain climbers' quality of life.

The Master JavaScript Course Has Been Released (197 Spots Remaining)
Seems pretty easy to use etcd from a JVM, particularly now that it is gRPC based.
I find it a little bit sad that the only thing most people know about Quine is source code outputting programs.

Quine was probably the most influential post war analytical philosopher. 'Two Dogmas of Empiricism' is his most famous work but when I read it as an undergraduate I felt it was somewhat rooted in its time (being a reaction against the dominant ideas of early 20th century empiricism). However, when I read a couple of his later works on the deflationary theory of truth (Quine's version was 'disquotationalism') it was like I had suddenly grasped some truth that had always existed just beyond understanding and only needed someone smarter than me to point out. Donald Davidson would then go on to develop these ideas with more clarity.

In a bizarre way Quine is responsible for my current profession (Software engineer) - I got interested in computer languages as a result of studying the Philosophy of Language during my Philosophy undergraduate degree.

> V8 was the first really fast JavaScript Virtual Machine

This is just barely technically correct, at best.

Chrome launched its first pre-release version on Sep 8 2008 [1], while WebKit's SFX JIT showed up in pre-release versions of WebKit just 10 days later [2] (or less, 10 days is when the blogpost came out).

Also, Firefox's TraceMonkey JIT landed on trunk Aug 8 2008 [3] which is before Chrome's pre-release (however, it was not yet turned on by default in nightlies at that time).

V8 is a wonderful VM and Google should be proud of it, but the PR line of "V8 was the first really fast JS VM" is debatable. Something like "one of the first really fast JS VMs" would be more honest.

He does say that but it seems clear that if Adnan didn't kill her, Jay did so he has ever reason to lie. Just as Adnan does.
No. I am talking about calculated chances, not "someone might decide to crash the plane" chances. If there is a known chance that a component of a plane might fail and cause a crash, it will not take off.
We expect Digital Ocean to not remove content unless they have been given instruction to do so by the rights holder. I don't see that as special treatment.
>> No plane will take off if there is a calculated chance that it could crash.

So, planes have a 0% chance to crash when they take off?
They never do
Putting aside the fact that many ordinary people would find your perspective lacking humanity and hilariously on the opposite side of their own moral compass:

I really didn't offer much other than an opposing perspective and a call to be more moderate. This will come up again and again, and it would pay to have a bit of empathy here.
And the opening of _Snow Crash_, too, was clearly a loving parody of an already-florid imagery. Cyberpunk as a fiction genre originated in the mid-80s and by 1990 people were calling it dead.
"Creative critical thinking and novelty seeking especially disturb management."

If you can use your social intelligence to get your bosses peers to respect him more, I can assure you he/she will approve of that.

A large corporate body is a political entity, the product is only 30% of it. Call on your EI Jedi Powers. Sadly, most of them are kind of from the dark, or maybe 'grey' side, but hey.

But yes, large corporations usually have some kind of leverage or de-facto monopoly, and any significant change can risk the goose that lays the golden egg. So, they can be systematically averse to change, for good reason.

Disruptors value change because from a position of little power in a static system, it's the only way to gain power. But at some point, disruption becomes more of a risk than an opportunity.

Large consumer and retail banks are probably the best example of this.
The upgrade is anything but easy if an existing application uses protected attributes extensively (removed from Rails 5). Because protected attributes does a shitload of monkey patching it's hard to know exactly what side effects its removal might have, especially in any application that uses nested attributes for mass assignment/initialization of a model's relations.

I agree with you completely, I was just responding to the original comment which in my opinion made a poor case defending Spotify, arguing for a monopoly case against Apple.

I think the more relatable case, and the one that should be compared to, is the case against credit card rules that retailers should charge the same price whether or not a credit card is used. There are laws in some countries (and I believe some states in the US but I'm not sure) that prohibit credit card companies to enforce that rule.

He's not. Economic theory tells us that in a market with multiple competitors, collusion is inherently unstable: while in the short run companies may be able to keep it up, in the long run there is a strong incentive to break the collusive pact because whichever company does so will rapidly gain market share at the expense of the others.

Your argument to the contrary is based on piling speculation on top of speculation. Not only are we to assume--without evidence--that the carriers are colluding, we must also ignore what we know about T-Mobile's and Sprint's incentives to break the collusion and grab market share because they are, in fact, making tons of money but hiding it through clever accounting.

It's not that collusion isn't a possibility in cellular markets in the abstract. It's that it's highly unlikely in a market where one of the alleged colluders is bleeding money and customers and faces bankruptcy.
