What I'm trying to say is that it's not appropriate to classify accidents as either caused by autopilot or human error.

The fatal accident was, tragically, a failure of both the autopilot and the driver. But the driver was relying on the autopilot in a way that has never been recommended.

It does seem as though Tesla has been overstating autopilot's safety, based on arguments made in the article and in the comments here. But it seems grossly unfair to judge the autopilot against a use case that it was never recommended for. It's a bit like braking at the last second on a wet road and then blaming your ABS when you crash.

I would love to see some more nuanced analysis of autopilot safety when compared to an appropriate control group.
Based on what? I mean this would seem to be in the circumstantial category, but that can be evidence. It seems kind of relevant that the guy who just pleaded the 5th to avoid incriminating himself about Hillary's server logs asked this specific question - though not a smoking gun.

I'm also curious of those who think that this was 2 years ago makes it irrelevant... are you guys suggesting that if Hillary's team were committing blatant felonies they wouldn't make any effort to clean up the trail until after it hit the front page? (by if I mean the material conditional)
The executive function of the brain involves decision making and creativity. Many blue collar jobs are repetitive of just following a standard operating procedure over and over. It becomes taxing and creates an intrinsic limit to how much can be done. With many white collar jobs especially when promoted to higher levels of management and autonomy, the pleasure involved with decision-making makes work as rewarding as playing that game plus there's a monetary reward. The basic premise of the article is that if the undereducated people were afforded similar opportunities than we may have a different situation.
The API used to be what you suggest, but it was changed because it forces doing a new allocation for each line. By taking a mutable string, code can reuse the backing storage of a string (or append to an existing one), which is especially useful for efficient loops.

> Personally, I just looked at this and decided that Rust wasn't ready for use by non-low-level programmers.

That's definitely a valid sentiment, but I think a better framing would be "isn't ready for use in non-low-level contexts": Rust is (and aims to become even better) an enabling technology that allows higher level programmers to more easily write performance sensitive code, because the aggressive compiler checks help people sidestep days/weeks of subtle pointer pain. Of course, the language focuses on this low-level/performance-sensitive space, and other languages may make more sense if those benefits aren't important for your particular use case.

I suppose anyone still getting Twitter updates will notice the difference when their Danger Hiptop hasn't buzzed for hours.
While this app obviously has a few incredibly useful-looking features, am I the only one who feels travel is best done talking with locals? Asking your hotel manager for recommendations - THAT'S how to travel well. See a slice of pizza that looks good? Go ASK the guy where he got it. Do we really believe we can Google/Yelp our way to a genuinely local experience? Or do we think that local experiences start with local people? Is this just another app that helps us stare at our phones while traveling, instead of searching for real culture through real connection?

That said, I already offline Google Maps before any trip, and this app will probably make it easier, so I'll use it. But I'll always place way more weight on a local recommendation than anything else.

I think that nuanced analysis is important, and maybe until it exists companies such as Tesla should be more careful regarding safety claims.
The line isn't that clearly drawn. NASA runs the Aviation Safety Reporting System, for example [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_Safety_Reporting_Syst...].
> Reducing all those ordinal numbers by one really doesn’t help all that much. You still have to remember how the “minor” and “major” labels interact for every interval in the scale, which is a horribly confusing mess.

Those interactions are pretty intuitive. Where defined, major + minor = perfect (considering an octave as perfect), perfect + major/minor = major/minor. As long as you remember which notes exist, you can't get it wrong, so you'll never get confused by a piece of arithmetic in an actual piece.
Yes, this is very puzzling.
Isn't it the same for adults, as well as kids? Maybe we don't throw temper tantrums, but otherwise?
For me salary means a minimum of 40 hours. I even have to record my time still and the tool will take no less than 40. Even if I worked 60 the week before. I do sometimes have those days where I struggle to find things to do but those become more rare as I get more experienced.

I think it is meant to parse as "[the hidden urls in] (photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and Quote Tweets) no longer count towards your limit", not "photos, videos, GIFs, polls, and (Quote Tweets no longer count towards your limit)", because those first 4 things have existed for a long time on twitter. The original title was only wrong because it is only a limited set of URLs that don't count, but the title implied all do not.

What your quote said he asked for help to do is exactly what GP suggested was the only thing he was trying to do.

So, what you say he asked is exactly what you'd expect if he was trying to do only what GP suggested.

I think that keeping yourself mentally occupied is much easier these days though. Like, you can get pretty serious about just about any hobby with the internet. And like it's crazy what you can sink your time into if you really care about it.
I don't think the article made an implicit assumption that more leisure is good. The article appears to be using self-reported satisfaction statistics:

It also ruined thousands of small ponds. There were ponds, miles into the wilderness, with huge Brook Trout populations. I fished them with my dad in the 1970 and 1980s. By the mid to late 80s all the fish were gone. I went back in 2005 and there wasn't a single fish in the ponds still. I am hoping they will come back one day.

EDIT: Looks like these ponds have been restored by the state with thousands of dollars of state money. These ponds are literally 3 miles from the closest dirt road.

I might be able to take my kids there in a few years.
It's pretty simple really: making money feels good.

I run my own business, and as a result I have a very highly correlated effort-to-earnings relationship. The more I work, the more I make.

I could spend my time doing "leisurely" activities away from work and I'd still make more than enough to live on, but instead I spend the better part of my work days (and oftentimes weekends) grinding away, trying to make this my highest earning September yet.

I don't do this in the pursuit of some end goal. I have fairly modest tastes, and 90% of the money I earn goes into a bank account or brokerage where it sits forever.

All I can say is that earning money gives me the most concrete measure of achievement I've found. When I was a kid I played World of Warcraft relentlessly, and gaining another level in that game gave me the same sense of forward progress. Money feels like the grown-up version of that.
Good question. I guess we don't fully know if it's worse for kids because they've not grown up yet. There's a chance (non-trivial, I'd guess) that screen addiction in childhood could end up being harder to kick than adult-onset screen addiction. Also, even occasional use of drugs has been shown to be worse in children than adults. This could have the same disparate impact.

Good news is fine, but rare. Important good news rarer. Find me good news and I may change my tune, until then I'll continue to remind you of the Pacific garbage patch and the global water crisis.

The general public will only trust science if it comforts them - no one wants to believe that the type of environmental degradation late capitalism promotes is possible. The general public will not believe that eating hamburgers contributes to water shortages, that driving automobiles causes global climate problems, that our trash is causing the oceans to acidify into a pool, barren of life... They will believe their post-consumer-waste Starbucks cup is saving the world, and that they are heroes.

Honestly, upgrading npm modules is never fun. This person is trying to learn the language at the same time -- you just can't expect that to work. You want to shrinkwrap / freeze your dependencies as soon as you can, and upgrade when it's clear that you are missing out and the effort to upgrade is worth the work that it takes to update.

I am using deprecated libraries at work. I just recently upgraded to React Router v2 when they are already gearing up for v3 (and refactoring for v4). It's just part of how the ecosystem works. We are lucky that a side effect of its business is the abundance of useful libraries.
According to Marke Gibson, head of the FAA's UAS division, the "operating from or on" is referring to the pilot. I.e. the pilot can't be standing on NPS land, and cannot launch or land a drone on NPS land. This is a workaround that NPS came up with, and which is being used my most municipalities when they are banning drone operations.

I remember coming home for Christmas/summer vacation while in college. I was good for about 10 days, enjoying my leisure. But then I wanted to get back to work. Leisure is boring.

The same thing happens when I go on vacation now. About 10 days, and I'm itching to get back to work. I have no interest whatsoever in retiring and puttering around doing meaningless tasks. I enjoy working, doing hard things, being in the fray, and most especially doing something productive that matters.
I think a lot of the time (in a jazz context) the chords are approached as almost individual elements or as part of a small "local" progression instead of in the context of the global key of the song, since the key could be changing as often as every couple bars. In the case of a common minor progression: B-E7alt-Am7 the major third of the dominant chord is the same note as the major 7 in the harmonic minor scale of the target minor chord, which would be one option for playing straight through that progression, but you'll often find that players will use either A harmonic minor, diminished, E altered, G# whole tone, etc. over the V7 and resolve to dorian or aeolian or something with a b7. It doesn't make much sense to analyze that progression in a classical context since those chords aren't entirely contained within any single key, and you end up something that looks like a key change, or has B as a secondary dominant implying a key change to the E7, where a jazz player would immediately recognize it as a minor 2-5-1

"from or on" means exactly that.

This points out another issue with providing basic income -- while basic income is preferable to just letting people starve and probably better than expensive-to-administer welfare programs, it does not provide a substitute source for people's self worth.

For many people, getting paid is literally society's signal to them that what they do every day is worthwhile and necessary.
I never used Angular 2, but that sounds like the biggest issue is a release candidate that should have been called a beta or alpha release.

I sometimes tend to try out beta releases when learning something new and interesting, but that does tend to backfire now and then when it's unstable enough that I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong, the framework is buggy or the documentation is simply outdated.
This all makes sense, if your only goal as a founder is to get rich.

I can only speak for myself, but to me, getting individually rich is not the goal. Having a quick exit isn't the goal.

The goal is to make a huge company that shifts the way people behave in a way that I think will make them better off and "build a world I want to live in."

The reality is, for big moonshot things (AI, Nano, Genetics, AR), you can't bootstrap them with revenues - you need a shitload of high risk money to build, grow & scale. That's what Venture money is for.

If you get venture money, make some waves and flame out or acquihire before the unicorn exit and see it as a loss, then I don't really know what you were working for. Think about it like a PhD on steroids - if you do it right, no matter the long term outcome you are making a dent in the market.
KCI Attacks against TLS (2015)
I can respect the cachet that twitter has had throughout the world, and the wonderful, positive things its platform has enabled...But honestly, this kind of improvement is so late in coming. Long ago, they should have raised the character limit...Now, I know some might reply with, "but historically SMS/texting limits to X characters only...". My response to this, is that twitter could have adjusted their platform to gracefully degrade. That is, if users can only tweet messages limited to 140 characters because of limits on their device or limits of their infrastructure of submission, then that should not stop other users - who do not have such limits - from tweeting longer messages. Some might feel my comment has the benefit of hindsight, but actually many, many users have said as much during Twitters early years. So I'm not disclosing anything revolutionary or new.
Soo how real is this database? Do we ever see this going production?
The USAF set up a sizable UFO detection network in the 1980s, called GEODSS, the Ground-based_Electro-Optical_Deep_Space_Surveillance System. It's a set of pairs of large (40-inch) computerized telescopes which watch the sky automatically. The system has a star catalog and knows what should normally be visible. This includes noticing dark objects which occlude stars. It was intended to look for USSR satellites and space debris, but it can detect just about anything in near-Earth space. There are three active installations of this system. Most near-earth asteroid detections come from a former GEODSS station now operated by MIT's Lincoln Labs.

Unlike most astronomical telescopes, the GEODSS stations have a pair of telescopes some distance apart, under common control. They can range near-earth objects by parallax. One of the less-publicized features of the system is that one of the telescopes has a laser, so dark targets can be illuminated.

(In my aerospace days, the specs for this system crossed my desk. Our company had bid on the system, but lost.)

That's sort of the problem that the article was addressing. By the time things have been built, they are old news to the JS community - or at least those that you see on HN, Medium, blogs, etc. If you mention learning Angular 1 anywhere you get shouted at that it's old and should not be used and to instead look at Angular 2 and React. By the time those are established, it'll be on to something else.

And that isn't just the case for frameworks, it extends to tooling as well. JS is a mess - one that I am involved in first hand - and it's hard to find stable footing.

What are your thoughts on using RethinkDB for massive-scale logging and task queuing? Trying to select between that and Redis.
I think part of the idea is that in many places, local people use Google too. So the app can combine your preferences with popular local spots, effectively getting recommendations from way more people than you could ask yourself.

I have no idea if that's actually how it works though.

But also, sometimes you don't really want a genuine local experience. Maybe you're in Washington DC for 2 days and want to squeeze in as much touristy stuff as possible. Locals aren't going to tell you about the great new exhibit at the National Gallery, they're going to tell you about their favorite dive bar on U street.
From 'The Solid Earth' by CMR Fowler (the geophysics book closest to my desk), the Earth's surface heat flux is 44 TW. This is not the total heat energy in the earth, it's the amount of internal heat (from the sources you've specified) radiated into space every second. I think that the difference between 44 and 51.9 is not budgetary (in the sense that the 8 TW difference is a different source) but reflects uncertainty in the estimates.

This is just to clarify what the numbers really mean, in case anyone thinks ~50 TW is the total heat energy (i.e. mass * heat capacity * absolute temperature) of the earth. My back of the envelope calculation is the total heat energy (m * Cp * T) = 2.5 E 31 W, using mean temperature of 4500 K (mantle) and 11000 K (core), Cp 1000 (mantle) and 450 (core) (in J / kg), and the fraction of the earth's total mass (6E24 kg) made up by the mantle (0.6) and core (0.3). I'm ignoring temperature dependence of heat capacity because I don't want to look it up. And ignoring latent heat, and other simplifications...
But Iterator's next() returns an Option, not a Result.
I've found that learning new technologies from first principles is better than starting with frameworks, unless you're willing to put up with a lot of ambiguity. For example with Javascript I'd start with basic manipulations (e.g. get to know the prototype model, the debuggers, the DOM, etc.), work up to a make-life-easier library like JQuery, then try a framework. It may depend on your learning style, of course.
