... and this is why Trump is better for the US gov transparency.

Do you imagine that Trump required that kind of actions in his business he has built over the last 20-30 years.

Only bureaucracy works this way, to hide grey stuff from the public.
Good policies, and a good use case for Slack. My own Slack experience has been like others - bad usage patterns aka "Slack abuse" that makes works more difficult. The problem is not the platform, but how people use the platform. 90% of email is spam. That fact doesn't detract from the utility of email.
I don't think it is really that complicated. On boot, a piece of embedded software (that can't be overwritten) does a checksum of the current software installed. If the checksum doesn't match the original, then it sets an internal bit to 1 to mark that the software has been changed. That internal bit can't be set back to 0, so the car is essentially marked as non-licensed and now can't be legally driven on the road.

Checking for non-licensed modifications is simply checking if that bit is set. Implementation would be a little more complex then the above, but similar technology already exists and is in use. The result is that modifications would be possible, but driving the resulting car on public roads would not.

A system for allowing new software to be placed on a car could be setup, but it would still require re-licensing the whole car so it wouldn't necessarily be an easy process.
> This sort of thing should really be between the renter and rentee in my opinion

Imagine a world where you fly halfway around the country, land, drive to your hotel, and discover body sweat stains on the sheets, the water is undrinkable, oh and sometimes the light switch sparks when you flip it.

The hotel says you will need to pay to "upgrade" those room features.

You complain to the hotel owner - who doesn't care... he has your money already and isn't interested in refunding it. He states you accepted the room's condition when you booked the room.

This is the equivalent of what you are advocating. This is flatly _not_ progress of any kind. It's a gigantic step backwards in safety and living conditions.

None of this even considers the other side of the token - the lodging owner. What happens if the rentee trashes the place and Airbnb refuses to reimburse you? Your home owners insurance won't cover anything if they realize you are renting to others for profit. You have no recourse.

Airbnb has refused to regulate themselves. There is no reasonable guarantee of anything for either side of the transaction. So now, the government is going to step in and do it for them.
You'd be surprised. handling over a million dollars in visible, actual transactions daily makes you prime target for hackers looking to exploit these kind of race conditions.

Don't be ignorant.

I don't disagree - like I say, none of my comment was intended to let Tesla off the hook in any way.

My point was simply that the drivers who use semi-automatic cars and choose to ignore warnings to retake control need to be responsible for their actions as well.
Just to throw something back to your question: Because you showed that randomized investing is a net win, and that your randomization methods are robust. Of course I'm still very curious if this is the case about randomized investing being a net win (though my instinct is that investing in startups is no different than investing in the stock market, and therefore at least as good as randomly investing, because no one has a crystal ball). But if you can just literally show people the numbers... "Hey, put $50k in the pot, X years later, you get $85k out." Or whatever, of course. I just think it would be worthwhile -- seeing that the government already does invest in the stock market -- for the same to feed startups.
You really don't need to learn some Flux to solve problems with React. React works fine without Flux, or really any formal data layer; you can comfortably use it simply as a really nice view library.

I agree that people give up on React after tutorials that make them think about routing and Flux. It's a shame, because the core concept of React is incredibly simple, and anyone can pick it up in a couple hours.

Flux is a useful, experience-based contribution and I'm happy to have it as an option. But it's heavily cargo-culted.
I think the intuition might be a little bit related but AFAIK monad is a very specific thing (can “lift” something and map functions over it, or at least that’s what I remember from a monad tutorial), and HOCs are different (they just wrap components). “Decorator” might be a closer pattern.

I would say HOC is more like a regular higher order function... which is why it’s called this way. :P
Okay, but to be consistent you have to argue for getting rid of copyrights and patents as well. It makes no sense to regard these devices as "creative works", yet then deny that the end user has been sold an instance of this abstract structure.

Fair, it's more of a technical (and other) competence DD
As a technical founder having gone through a few VC rounds, I was initially surprised by the lack of technical diligence but eventually came to the same understanding as the author: product-market-fit and sales/marketing execution make-or-break most companies.

I would add though that the impact the technical founder has on the design of the product and the quality of execution is immense and often hidden behind the non-technical founder selling the company to VCs. Good technical founders do a lot more than code. If I were a VC, I would look for teams with technical founders that have skills extending into product management, people management/recruiting, and operations.

> It's hard to draw bright lines from a legal perspective on what's OK and what isn't

Not really.

If a community wants to ban Airbnb rentals and rewrites their zoning laws as such, the resulting line is clear.

It's only a gray area because the laws haven't caught up with the fact that Airbnb exists.
Well, this is common sense.
Remember the "Ecce homo" painting? there are some things that will likely go wrong if you do them by yourself. Sometimes with consequences that are not desirable for "the common good".

This is pretty common with a lot of companies switching to byod (bring your own devices to work)

The idea is the company saves money by loading a secure workspace to your personal device instead of paying for a corporate device.

Companies setup a mdm server such as blackberry, good, airwatch, etc that basically send a remote wipe command. You would then download an app to activate it.

It depends on the company but check if there is an opt out clause or demand the company to provide you a corporate phone as you don't have a personal device.

It's ok in most cases since the company is paying for your phone bill as compensation so you can just get a second personal device.

I'm not sure about the legal issues, especially if you can't opt out of it.
Might be interesting if they actually open-sourced the underlying Bittorrent Live protocol, which they have explicitly stated they won't do Because Piracy.
> A manufacturer can hardly argue that they have a safety reason to keep you from repairing your TV, printer, or cell phone.

The safety argument can easily go the other way. If you see your car misbehaving then you should have the right to understand why and fix it before it kills someone.

And if you find a legitimate bug you may end up saving a thousand lives.

No, this is certainly not equivalent. If you accepted shitty terms that's on you for failing to read, plain and simple.

> So now, the government is going to step in and do it for them.

This isn't even the sort of thing they're talking about regulating though - they're talking about doing ridiculous stuff like zoning, booking discrimination, accessibility, etc laws on these, nothing to do with the quality of the rooms at all but which certainly do increase the costs to the sellers.
If there's a demand for housing with a specific use in mind, the solution is to add to the total supply of housing, rather than try and regulate everything.

Regulate for safety, and genuine nuisance (rather than OMG I saw a person I don't know!), by all means. Add taxes if needs be, but add more housing if there's a market for it!

Well, I'm not saying give the money to anyone who can fill out a form. Just because it's run by the government, doesn't mean it has to be completely inefficient or only feed abuse of the system.

Number one: Payola is deceptive to the audience. If you are advertising you should disclose it, prominently and UNAVOIDABLY. Otherwise you are lying in saying "hey I like this thing and you should like it too!" rather than "hey I was paid to tell you I like this thing and you should like it too!" If there's no material harm to sponsored content as you claim, then there should be no reason not to disclose this prominently.

Number two: Payola is harmful to the economy in that it has a "rich get richer" effect -- those who can afford Payola can buy lots of advertising, without indicating that they are doing so, giving themselves an unfair advantage.

Also, disclosing at the top of a video description is not enough as those descriptions do not get carried forward when the video is shared on other media outlets (Facebook, twitter, etc). I'm not sure when the FTC made the rule official, and so he might get a pass based on timing, but the current standard is that a disclosure must be UNAVOIDABLE. IE, a best practice is to put the disclosure IN THE VIDEO TITLE and IN THE VIDEO ITSELF.
A lot of AI is based around training sets not traditional Algorithms like your thinking of. There are simply to many edge cases to deal with by hand. Yes, there is also a lot of hand coding in these systems, but good training sets are very critical.

There are plenty of DPI/TM solutions that identify and classify the protocol very quickly and efficiently, every ISP today does it.
It's highly unlikely that a Saudi or any modern telco would would not be able to analyse the traffic and extrapolate the exact protocol and application from it as well as other information such as if it's an encrypted stream or not (heck testing if data is encrypted or not is as simple as running compression on random samples and checking the compression ratio, you'll have to classify if the data is compressed to begin with but if it's not compressed data and it's not compressible it's quite likely to encrypted).
> ... you're most likely doing it wrong. You should have long-running specialized channels by topic that include the relevant people.

Independent of the existence of the hotel industry I think there's a reasonable concern about the conversion of residential use to commercial use and the resulting impacts that has on surrounding residential property valuations, rental vacancy, city tax revenue and other things.

I'm less concerned about someone occasionally renting out their home and doing what they want with their own property, and more so interested in the impacts of investors purchasing residential property to use exclusively as part of a larger commercial short term operation.
I guess the current lane-assisting and adaptive cruise control systems don't do anything at all. Most cars only have ultrasonic parking sensors in the back and probably a parking camera which both don't have any range. They probably rely on the fact that vehicles behind them should drive in the normal safety distance and that following cars are responsible for avoiding rear end collisions.
If the cars obey the posted speed limit and slow down and split-the-difference when on curves or near hazards (such as children running on the sidewalk), the hypothetical moral dilemmas shouldn't even happen. So far, I've only heard of one accident involving a Google car, and there wasn't a fatality.
Ask HN: Is there anything like YouTube-dl, but for file sharing services?
One could imagine that having a collection of heuristics to allow getting a proper direct link to file which can be fed to curl or something (just as youtube-dl does for videos) nicely packaged into a command-line tool would be quite nice: file sharing websites all too often try to make you go through JS, ads or whatever. It'd also seem that that's a pretty obvious idea.

So, are there any projects like this?

(For reference, when I had the need, I just went and made a solution for my specific case (https://github.com/wldhx/yadisk-direct) and am now wondering if there're any standards out there like ytdl is.)
I worry this suggests an opposition to inheritance in general. Sharing code through class hierarchy is incredibly useful and common. I'd hate for ES6 to add decent classes and then have React push people away from 'extends'. But perhaps I'm reading too much into this.

bitrate it uses is good enough for the mission

The fact is, it could be better, and it really should. It's just silly to use Solar panels in the outer Solar System. This mission was dominated by politics and not science. I think that is a very real issue. Look at Curiosity, I think it's very clear that Rover is a massive upgrade over the preceding solar powered missions.
Blocking DMs wouldn't solve the core issue and is counterproductive. You still want them for coordinating things like one-on-one meetings, for starters.

Instead, tie concrete problems for the individuals who prefer DM to a lack of visibility. Hold them accountable for future problems that occur.

Oh, that release went poorly? Who needed to be in the loop who wasn't? What can you do differently next time? Yes, getting them all in a group chat would be an improvement, but if you really want it to go smoothly next time, make it visible and public so everyone who has something to contribute can and you personally don't have to run around making sure everyone is in the loop. It's easier for you and it's a better practice.

The next time there's a problem that can be attributed to lack of public communication, reference the first conversation and ask why they didn't make it public. Then ask what steps they can take after this conversation to make sure they do it next time. After this it becomes a standard coaching/performance issue.

While I hate companies suing people for repairing their own properties, "right" has been overused so many places. What a sensational word! I have the "right" to not being sued! What?

I would advocate companies certify other entities as repairing authorities or just do a good job themselves; providing the support. Of course it will reduce their product sale and that would be a huge deal to us consumers as well because we want them to do well and providing better product next round.

However, it is dangerous that we use sale as THE primary measure. I believe companies should take pride in the quality of their products and services. They should inspire customer loyalty, not unethical growth to please Wall Street.
I agree that Volvo has a better approach and from what I can tell the necessary hardware to have a much more robust system. What I'm arguing is that there are too many problems that still need to be solved for them to have a stage 4 autonomous vehicle.

I used to work on self-driving cars, specifically this one - https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/dri... - and while that was a few years ago I know just how many things the technology is fundamentally not ready for, such as adverse weather.

I agree that Tesla took the wrong approach, I was just commenting that I would be amazed if Volvo was that many years ahead of everybody else.

The average cost of a space shuttle mission was $450m. That's 8 astronauts and 23,000kg of payload. [0]

Soyuz costs $62.7m/seat. [1] Which means that 8 seats to the ISS on soyuz is actually more expensive than a shuttle launch.

I couldn't find how much non-astronaut Soyuz payloads cost.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 Full Thrust can lift almost as much payload as the Shuttle, at 22,800kg.

I tend to agree. We stayed at an Airbnb only to have PSGE show up the second day to turn off the power since the owner hadn't paid the power bill in 3 months.

It took 4 different calls/people to find out who the actual owner of the property was. I'm all for someone letting out their room/house but this put us in quite a scramble.
