Every time I am reminded about how Tesla can update their cars in the field I always imagine the stress in the responsibility of securing a network like that, and the risk a compromise carries. Heavy work for some team.
No reason not to contact them, but yes, they actively recruit too.
I'm comparing my experience of owning a Honda to a Jetta.

My Honda Civic and many others who owned the same drive them for more then 20 years. That's the type of car I want to spend my money on.

I'm not a car guy and prefer to spend my money elsewhere; living in nice places and vacations. Thus, buying a used car in cash suits me fine.
What happens if I cut the leads?
Well, that's a bunch of ignorant baloney.

If Russia and China have these capabilities today, then opponents we DO engage will have them tomorrow... unless, you know, someone fixes the problem.

Not to say that we have nuclear assurances against a direct conflict between the US and Russia, we don't have such assurances for US proxies engaging Russian or Chinese proxies. The US needs to have enough conventional deterrence to prevent major proxy wars - which, by the way, destabilize the world economy and make the world a crappier place for everyone, including the "third-world-lives-don't-matter" isolationists such as yourself.
I have a mailing list for my website (https://IndieHackers.com). Right after launching, when enthusiasm was at a peak, I included a paragraph in the weekly newsletter saying that I was looking for sponsors (http://i.imgur.com/EknpPux.png). A few companies got back to me, and I worked out deal with two of them. Not sure if this is applicable to you, but it's a data point nonetheless.

It'd be interesting, but maybe a waste of time. Those chemicals almost definitely could never be a valid treatment for humans.
Voters' power over a coalition varies directly with the voters' volatility. If I pledge my vote to the democrats, that gives them confidence to do what they want. Which means they'll be less likely to incorporate ideas from the greens. But I digress. My point is that I have a knee jerk reaction to arguments of the type "dems deserve your green votes".

So you believe UHC is better than UBI. All good. But to end the debate on UBI because it subtracts from a related discussion is ridiculous. I read the link, and I recognize that political campaigns require large expenditures. I also believe the market place of ideas can accomidate both discussions.

By calling UBI a "distraction", you are implying it'd be more convenient if the UBI discussion didn't exist because it's more convenient than letting the UBI and UHC compete on a their merits. It signals that it is inconceivable to you that UBI might in fact be the better idea, and that you'd bet the farm on UHC's superiority.

Sam Altman: "Let's perform a UBI experiment and see how it goes."

Nicolas Colins: "I'm a historian. I already know the outcome. The experiment is a waste of time and money."

Okay bud.

Here's a different question: is it worth it?

I know enough about machine learning (and scikit-learn) to make simple models with production deployments. The results are pretty good, but they come almost exclusively through trial and error—testing different algorithms and approaches until something works.

Unfortunately, I really don't understand the underlying theory. Every time I start diving into it, I realize it'll probably take a huge amount of time to understand (particularly because I'll likely have to do an intensive refresher on linear algebra and multivariable calculus).

How dangerous is it to be practicing machine learning without deeply understanding the theory? Is it worth the substantial time investment?
You're most welcome.
>It's absurdly backwards because it's asking you to create debt which normally is the opposite of showing you are good with money

The American economy, and largely the world economy is based on accusation of debt.

If everyone in the US, or other First world nations simply started living with in their means, never incurring debt the entire of the world economy was cease.

Thus the credit system is design to reward people that acquire more and more debt and punish people that save or live frugal life styles with in their means

The modern economy depends on a person gathering debt from their 18th birthday until their death, where the assets of their life are then sold to cover those debts ensuring the next generation also has to acquire debt repeating the cycle.
I don't understand arguments like that.

Risking an ignorant question - will this accelerate adoption of SSDs? Or is there something about data centers that makes them lean toward spinners?

The issue in the article is that as spinners have become more dense, the track tolerance has decreased. Those small tolerance high density disks must already be expensive, and if they further can't reliably survive the environment (which includes fire suppression), then replacement with SSDs starts to look mandatory on the near horizon.
CSV is a poorly defined format. It doesn't have a standard. No wonder it screws up when you start varying character encoding.

The first practical lesson of CSV is CSV WILL fail miserably when changing character encoding, using non ASCII characters, having quoted string, varying end of line characters...
Note about trademark law: Trademarks don't expire; they can really only be ruled abandoned or unenforceable. It was an interesting and perhaps unorthodox use of trademark in the first place, and the kind of thing you would normally file a design patent for – though of course, Lego has been around far longer than any country's patents last (thus the existence of Mega Bloks).
Considering renting history is not accurately reported in any meaningful form, I don't know how they disagree with me. Most people probably aren't willing to give up their car, I'd figure those that have credit issues are still most likely making car payments.

It's one thing to say "I see you've been late on a few of your car payments, so we're going to give a higher interest rate." and it's something else to say "You have a few unpaid medical bills/late CC payments so we're going to give you a higher interest rate on this car loan."

I just have a hard time really believing that is the case. Often credit issuers simply look at the totality of everything, instead of appropriately looking the history of the specific financial contract they're wanting to issue.

If only every person could have a unique identifier that could be used everywhere as a primary key, so "name matches" weren't needed...

Social security number as globally unique ID would actually improve security and accuracy in most areas of life!

Interesting. This could map onto a cellular automata. Do the connections evolve from left to right? Or do you start with a static size universe?
Actually it depends heavily on the design of the reactor. I recall that more modern designs have either far higher or complete degrees of 'passive' safety. The very heat of the reactor being sufficient to circulate the cooling loop at a safe level.

I'd add to that the ability to recognize when a weapon is not being safely handled, and either confiscate (in certain circumstances) or correct the person with the weapon, or just vacate the area.
in my experience, it's more effective to lay out a strip of ant poison on some cellotape rather than in the bait traps.

More surface area so more ants can carry the poison away faster, and less deaths occur in the manner that you describe.

Also, switch to different types of bait now and then.
Halon is not too toxic and you only need a concentration of less than 10 % for it to be effective. And I even once read that Halon helps breathing, i.e. in the presence of Halon humans can survive at a lower oxygen concentration than they normally could but I am unable to find a source right now. All in all it is probably not to bad to be in a room flooded with Halon and the fumes of burning stuff are probably the larger hazard.

The idea is once your making ~80k extra money does not make a big difference assuming your single. Until you hit an extra ~2,000k which let's you stop working.

I take the opposite approach where a low stress 40 hour a week job can be pleasant. I have a minimal commute and spend less than 1/3 of my waking life at work or getting there. Further I mostly enjoy my time there. I did the high pay high stress job and it's just not worth it, but taking a year off showed that's not so interesting either.

Live to be 70 and a 40 hour week to a normal retirement is ~19% of your time. As long as it's not bad there are just other thing to focus on.

Also I might add that I very quickly became quite disenchanted with the lack of types in JSON; and I'm sure many of us have come to that same conclusion.

Really hope that it can be fixed at some point, but not holding my breath on that one.

I think it will take a major effort to reform that format although I am hopeful now that we at least have UInt8Array and friends that are starting to expose a broader set of machine friendly types.
Scan the shoe and know the optimal betting strategy? You'd need some pretty serious technology to hide your knowledge and come up with a betting strategy that's optimally undetectable as well.

Not halon but there are fire supessant gas mixtures (e.g. Inergen(R)).
These gases have a interesting physiological effects that increases the breathing frequency and therefore allow surviving in a flooded room.
There are parents that don't own cars. Shocker, I'm sure, for some families. They get by with things like strollers, or child-carrying bicycles with ample storage space.

The amount of junk you carry seems to scale in proportion to the convenient carrying capacity of your transportation. If you have a huge SUV of course it will be packed with all kinds of stuff. If all you have is a stroller you'll scale back accordingly.

"There's no way that'd be possible" is utter defeatism. Somehow as a species we survived for tens of thousands of years before cars. I doubt autonomous cars won't be embraced by millions just because you personally find them inconvenient.
Neat series. Another book to add to the recommendation list is Game Scripting Mastery which is a great text for learning to create scripting languages, compilers, and virtual machines. Don't judge it by the title, it's a gem. https://www.amazon.com/Scripting-Mastery-Premier-Press-Devel...
Paradoxically, I think that you feel that way _because_ of the decreasing marginal value of money. Superfluous income is disposable income, and spending money in a way entirely of your choosing is pleasurable.

Especially if you're already making enough to get by, the value of the money you're already making is "priced in" to your subconscious analysis. Thus, the next order of magnitude of income really is qualitatively different.
The very first complaint seems to totally miss how traits are interfaces, not classes. Doesn't make enough of an impression to keep going...

A commenter on a related TechCrunch article suggested they're using Delphi: http://www.delphi.com/docs/default-source/old-delphi-files/7... in the 2014 and onwards models. Unsure if those are built on the Bosch radars you mentioned.
Well, yes, that's my position:

- there have been a lot of large-scale BI policy experiments in the past in many countries, and none turned out so well on the long term. Yes it's true that technology changes many things, but I think it should be exploited primarily to improve existing benefits (considering the criticality of healthcare and housing, two major factors of both economic insecurity and inequalities);

- I think a healthcare single-payer or public option experiment would be more impactful, because this is what is currently at stake in Congress, the Supreme Court and the coming presidential election + it's important to win many small victories in the present rather than a hypothetical large one in a distant future (any union leader would agree). Finish the job on healthcare, and you'll discover that it becomes easier to advance the cause of UBI.

I guess you're more of a communist and I'm more of a social-traitor ;-)

Hi, I am hitting you up. (Am I doing this right?)
The solution is to implement guis with composition and delegation rather than inheritance. It requires some ree-thinking and elbow grease, rather than just copying stale designs from 30 years ago, which may be why so many people avoid it, though.
We have more locations, a simpler product and more options for the advanced plan.

GeoScreenshot has a simpler and more intuitive UI so you can go back/forth between new captures and your history without having to reload pages.

Our pricing model is also simpler, we give you more locations and options for the plus plan. The free account with all the "plus" options enabled, so you know what you are paying for.

At the time of this writing, we offer 7 free locations and > 60 plus locations. For our advanced plan, you can select from > 420 cities from nearly every country in the world. We will set up a dedicated worker in that region.

Some examples of advanced locations:

I would also like to add:

The main advantage of using GeoScreenshot over buying a proxy list or a VPN is convenience and efficiency. To minimize the headaches and man hours spent on website testing.

There are significant man hour costs and technical barriers with using VPNs/proxies, changing view ports, clearing cache, shifting browsers, system settings, locale settings, time zones.

Do you really think most people would prefer being poor to working and thus not being poor? Look at all the lengths people will go to to get money. Most people really, really, really like having money, and that doesn't stop just because they get a little bit of it.

Sure, some people won't work. But most of those would be people who either would have a hard time finding work, or who have some specific other thing they'd rather be doing.
Although you're right, they probably will just force maintenance at particular intervals, it would be nice if the car could do a quick self-test that, if it fails, it'll refuse to drive, or at least drive quickly.

Sea levels have risen about 130m from 20,000 years ago and are probably set to rise a bit more regardless of what actions we take just now on CO2. While it's good to deal with global warming, realistically we'll have to adapt a bit to sea levels rising a little bit.

It's still not worth doing. That precedent of removing a species completely starts the ball rolling.

Shit happens, sometimes people die, and while it's unfortunate, it doesn't give us the license to turn one potential death into the extinction of an entire form of life.

Let's turn this around: What if some powerful alien life form had one of their citizens dying but they realized they could cure that individual by harvesting one planet worth of organisms. Given there's billions and billions of planets with life on them, what's the harm in killing Earth to save one of their own, right?
If your #1 job criteria is compensation, do not work at a startup. You'll be paid more at big companies.

If you don't mind being paid a little less, and want the opportunity to be a part of building a company from the ground up, consider working at a startup. There will be a lot more ups and downs than at a company like Google. But at smaller companies, you'll have the chance to have a material impact on the success of the organization instead of being just a cog in the wheel.

By no means am I saying you should accept a below market offer from a sketchy startup that offers no benefits and expects 12 hour work days (those unfortunately exist).

Disclaimer: I run a 6-person seed-stage company. To help keep our employees happy (and to be competitive with bigger companies when recruiting), we try to get as close as possible to big-company salaries, we don't expect anything beyond 40 hrs / week, 100% paid health benefits, 401k, 25 paid days off per year, snacks, food, full financial transparency, etc. (Not trying to self-promote here, mainly trying to communicate that not all small companies are bad just because they're small).

Also consider that the day-to-day work at startup is dramatically different than the day-to-day work at a big company. For people who don't mind being paid low $100k's instead of mid $100k's, the day-to-day work should be the main deciding factor when considering startup vs. large co. In my opinion, startups are more fun, you get to wear more hats since your role is likely less specialized, (ideally) there's less politics, you can have a real impact on the success of the business while (hopefully) watching it grow, and learn a lot really fast along the way.

That said, the big company route definitely offers higher compensation and more stability, and makes a lot of sense for people who are a little more risk-averse.

Also +1 on viewing equity as a lottery ticket. When evaluating offers from a startup, try to maximize your equity in negotiations (ie. more lottery tickets), but the fact is the majority of startups will eventually shut down, so don't use equity as a major factor when comparing offers between large and small companies.
It's perplexing to me that to own something, you must agree to a contract.

Glad to hear they're considering doing something.

The i3 is the Fiat Multipla of electric cars. An electric 3 series is much more appealing to me.

Though I'm all for trying out new designs there's something to be said for not going completely overboard. Tesla stuck to a much more traditional design but that doesn't seem to have hampered them. I'm reminded of Renault a couple of years back, they've also toned down their "cubic" design a lot.
Seems to me that the more usual way human intelligence works is that handlers work with informants, and actual direct undercover work is pretty rare. The relationship between handlers and informants is sometimes mercenary (i.e. paying them), sometimes coercive (perhaps blackmail), sometimes ideological but ultimately always instrumental.

The people taking the biggest risks are usually defectors (a kinder word for traitors) of some kind.
I thought that Tesla have always been tracking their cars, autopilot or not. IIRC, there was a story from over a year ago where Tesla complained about a car review, citing the data that the reviewer's car had transmitted. This included location information, battery power, etc.

Perhaps there is a way to opt out of this - but also, if you opt out, do Tesla disable features of the car?
loose the link-bait title (which is not the title of the article). this has nothing to do with apple or any feature apple has.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
I think one could define a metric in which average result is higher for startup employees than for BigCo employees.

Someone with $100M has access to politics/investments/etc that most people earning $250k/yr don't. So while the average monetary payout is smaller (1% chance at $100M is equal to a 50% chance at 2M), average social currency is much higher. (1% chance at the social power that comes with $100M vs 0% chance in the BigCo job).
Yeah, most of criticisms I've seen of Rust (ergonomic issues, benchmarks, compile time, even integer overflow) will be dealt with in time. 1.0 means that Rust is stable but lacking features.
