A single IM platform through which everyone can talk to everyone regardless of their IM service, and I mean I wanna be able to send a message to someone's iMessage from my Battle.net account, and then receive someone's Facebook message on my Slack or something. Obviously IDK how this would be possible, but IM is now broken beyond repair by companies that tried to "fix" it. The list of IM apps on my iPhone keeps growing, I got Slack, Hangouts, Telegram, FB Messenger, iOS Messages, HipChat, and Skype, and whenever I need to search for a message I never know which one to look in, and whenever I need to message someone I never know which channel is the best to use, and it's just a freaking mess. I hate state of IM in 2016, and I hate the parties that were involved in getting it to where it is now.
SSC is an underappreciated gem. There's much brilliance in't.
Can do something even simpler for cars with rear window wipers.

Take bike brake line, attach one end to the rear window wiper, and route the other end down to where the camera is and use that motion to run smaller wiper over the camera lens. Probably set you back <$10.

For cars without it, use a 555 timer in one-shot configuration+mosfet/relay to drive a small 12v DC motor that is all powered off the reversing lights, so it automatically does 1 wipe every time you shift to reverse. If you didn't want the wiper to spin 360, you can adjust the pulse width of the 555 and use a spring to return. This would also cost about $10.

I'm not sure what point are you trying to make. Apart from the 1967 riots, which were orchestrated by another country anyway, when did the British Forces turn against Hong Kong people?
Rioters are burning down Charlotte, Hillary hasn't said a thing (except to doubt the police), but Donald Trump is the problem?

> "I'm not saying all the people, but we've got the instigators that are coming in from the outside. They were coming in on buses from out of state. If you go back and look at some of the arrests that were made last night. I can about say probably 70% of those had out-of-state IDs. They're not coming from Charlotte."

Someone should find out who paid for those buses.
In terms of core features, ripgrep is totally there. It searches fast. It ignores files pretty accurately. It outputs results in a pleasant and useful format. If a new user tries rg, they'll be very happy.

My warning about the feature differences was meant to temper ag users' expectations. There are lots of little things that ag users are accustomed to that are either different or missing in ripgrep. Off the top of my head: Ag reads the user's global gitignore. (This is harder than most people think.) It detects stdout redirects such as "ag blah > output.txt" and ignores output.txt. It can search gz and xz files. It defaults to smart-case searching. It can limit a search to one hardware device (--one-device), avoiding slow reads on network mounts. And as a commenter already pointed out, it supports the --pager option. Taken together, all those small differences are likely to cause an average ag user some grief. I wanted to manage expectations so that users wouldn't create annoying "issues" (really, feature requests) on your GitHub repo. Sorry if that came off the wrong way.

On a completely unrelated note: I see ripgrep supports .rgignore files, similar to how ag supports .agignore. It'd be nice if we could combine forces and choose a single filename for this purpose. That way when the next search tool comes along, it can use the same thing instead of .zzignore or whatever. It would also make it easier for users to switch between our tools. I'd suggest a generic name like ".ignore" or ".ignores", but I'm sure some tool creates such files or directories already.

Edit: Actually, it looks like .ignore can work. The only examples I've found of .ignore files are actual files containing ignore patterns.

matrix.org is trying to do this, but so far progress seems slow/incomplete so far. No comment on the technical aspects of it, but the idea of my own server where I can run bridges to all these different accounts is pretty appealing. If all these bridges were actually available, I would be on it all the time.
The reference hypothesis has some merit, and is covered in the article.

It's interesting that that's so well understood, when Windows (which had the majority of the consumer internet-connected device market share even if you include smartphones for most of Google's history) never defaulted to Google search.
Reminds me of the story of a guy who makes a $50,000 mistake. He goes to his boss saying "So I expect you're going to fire me now" and the boss answers "Are you kidding? We just invested $50,000 in your training!"

Should I consider myself lucky that all my bosses have had this mentality? Is ass-kicking actually more prevalent in the industry than rational correction?
It's not publicly discussed for obvious reasons, but I worked closely with Mudd for a couple of months last year. Here's a related interview where he touches upon it.

http://digiday.com/platforms/advertisingweek2015-facebook-fi...

Facebook spend an awful lot of resources tracking all sorts of user behaviour inside it's "walled garden".

I got really sick of it after a while and decided to stop working for them (even as a contractor)
I'd rather spend the cash on the gifted students. Probably better return on investment.
As I just mentioned, Cloudflare realizes that the status quo makes it hard to prove standing to sue them or to go after the attackers, and that's a large part of what allows them to get away with it. How is the FBI supposed to conduct an investigation here? They're not going to be able to get subpoenas for every single DDoS booter behind Cloudflare (one group has documented over 200 of them).

I recognize that it's impossible to eradicate the problem 100%, but by driving it underground, you can dramatically reduce the amount of it by making it harder for them to conduct their business. Cloudflare could do this in a day if they wanted to, instead they sit behind a "free speech" argument waiting for someone to force them to cut it out. Don't say I didn't warn you if the government comes in to change the liability laws to prevent this sort of behavior in the future. Nobody's going to defend DDoS spam packets from criminal botnets as "free speech" when they're preventing all speech from occurring.
It's kind of ironic to write participation in public discourse is growing so perilous in one of the most prominent papers on the planet. She apparently does not feel particularly stifled.
And this DMV crash report from February of this year.[1] Cruise hit a parked car in San Francisco at 20mph. The driver tried to intervene and prevent it, but too late.

When you read Google's crash reports [2], it's almost always "autonomous vehicle was rear-ended by human driver". That's happened twice at Phyllis Av. and Grant Rd. in Mountain View. It's worth a look at that location.[3] Notice the tree in the median strip on Phyllis. That's in just the right place to block Google's car-top LIDAR scanners from seeing cross traffic on Grant Rd. So the autonomous vehicle advanced at 6mph to get a better view, detected cross traffic, stopped, and was rear-ended. The same thing happened a month later, last September. The autonomous vehicle did the right thing (not seeing "hit by cross traffic" accident reports), but it wasn't what the driver behind expected.

That's what the problems look like in the later stages of development. Not reports of hitting parked cars.

It boggles my mind that people think this is okay, but when a business that doesn't agree with gay marriage and won't bake a cake, it needs government intervention (as long as they don't refuse a gay person from purchasing any cake, it should be well within their rights).

These developers are using bullying tactics to try to punish the Oculus developer for merely having an opinion. It only makes me want to vote for Trump even more.

It's pretty hypocritical to attempt to stop what you think is bigotry and exclusion by doing the exact same thing to the people you don't like.

With this line of thinking, our world will never change. We are better than this.
Kinda related but does anyone know of some sort of software like Jira that isn't oriented towards software devs? I've tried Trello and Taiga but neither have a way to build a dependency chain (issue a requires issues b and c which require...) like you can in Jira. However I don't really wanna push Jira onto non-technical people and tell them to ignore half of what's on the screen.
Yup. Good place for both landscape and cityscape photography!

The "replication crisis" is not focused in the social sciences; its a name for a problem across the sciences, and is of particularly acute concern in medicine.
No. I don't want to maintain another account that provides me with no value.

I know you say that it updates automatically, but that's only if I don't switch other services. For instance, if I switch most of my projects from Github to GitLab, then none of my new activity will be carried over on this site that I already forgot about. And I don't want accounts that I've forgotten about competing with ones I actually use when searching for my name.

Trump has praised Roosevelt's internment of the Japanese, as well as restrictions on movement, property ownership, and possesion of radios as an appropriate model for how to deal with Muslims.

They seem to push the notion that they are the proprietors of amazing software for data analysis.

Then when you buy them, a bunch of "forward deployed engineers" come in and carefully comb through all your data sources and figure out how to get it all ingested and linked in their software.

Which, of course, is actually the hard part of doing data analysis at large organizations! By default, in any large org, important data is fragmented and sitting in silos--and departments defend it that way. Being able to see all that data come together would seem like magic. But it's mostly because of the manual work upfront.

Maybe the right way to think about Palantir is a data-aggregating operation that uses marketing to convince large organizations to allow them to aggregate data.
Ha, I was starting to think I was crazy.
But would NASA out-perform a research university with the same budget, tasked with addressing the aforementioned problem/solutions directly rather than incidentally?
"The road is a source of danger". It wasn't intent, but you lost concentration, lost control, etc., performed a thing called "dangerous driving". I know man who killed a child in similar accident. 3-5km/h, he just jumped on his bumper from nowhere and died. He could do that with a fence, but instead chose his car. That's why YOU have to be aware of everything going on around. If you don't know what's there behind an obstacle, you must assume it is full of children, families and sudden walls. We now have many devices that kill people when we neglect boring rules.

>My point, in the context of the discussion, is that good, innocent, hard-working people sometimes also go to jail due to circumstances beyond their control.

Ideally, jailtime should end when "innocent beyond my control" in their mind becomes "that was definitely my fault because I often drive tired and that will happen again if I continue". Otherwise it is like saying "It wasn't me, it was a bullet! I just pulled trigger."
Well, it's just a start, the most (in)famous policy adopted by people who called themselves Keynesian, even got it written into law if I remember correctly, that failed so badly no one can deny the failure. And let's be careful with No True Keynesian arguments....

Plus, unless I'm grossly misinformed, Keynes theories went a lot further than that claimed insight about aggregate demand and deflation, but I haven't studied him deeply, since when I last looked in the '80s it seemed to be garbage, and nothing I've heard since then changes the opinion I formed.

I don't think the complexity of the voting system had a huge impact on why Slashdot waned in popularity. That said, I can see a simpler system where it asks you why you upvoted or downvoted and provides multiple pre-set "reasons" for you to click on.

The problem is using those responses to find something you want to read. Tastes and interests change over time. You might be obsessed with electric cars for a month, then want to read anything but electric cars the next month.

That's the problem with using past data in this case; it's not a great predictor of the future. Social sharing of information from actual people is better and we already have lots of that. So what's missing? Why do we feel news "aggregators" like Twitter and facebook aren't good enough?

Whenever people discuss Twitter's finances I wonder what they'd look like if there was a paid tier. Just a few bucks a year to mark your account as Supportin' Twitter. Without necessarily having any other perks. Except maybe "not having any fucking ads". I'd probably do it; I was a paid user of Livejournal for many years when it was Where All My Friends Were.

But no. It's always "monetize by becoming another goddamn channel to advertise to people through".
> one of the most insidious powers that the U.S. government has over its people.

This greatly oversells what Palantir does for the federal government.
Though it must be said that NASA apparently never signed off on the strut explanation. So conceivably it was never the strut, in which case it could be the same issue. Then again, I assume the people working on this are much smarter than me and have much more information, so they probably considered and rejected that too.
> Cruise is working with GM to add autonomous-driving technology to the Bolt.

May be GM popped out $1 billion so that they can put their own of version of Tesla's auto pilot in Bolt.

They're a complicated problem, but I can't help but wonder if SpaceX underestimated the difficulty. They used to have a 3rd patty supplier for the helium tanks but they decided to manufacture them in-house a few years ago. As far as I know, all 3 tank problems have happened since they started producing their own.

Listening is actually one of the more power-intensive things a radio does, because it tends to be active more of the time than transmitting does. For many radios power consumption is the same whether transmitting or receiving.
Swift probably, but Java and C# still suffer in a lot of situations from the lack of good AOT compilation options. There are implementations for both, but they're incredibly primitive compared to the JIT reference implementations.

I guess some of the semantics I've mentioned in my comment were wrong. I don't care about Battle.net, Facebook and Slack. All I want is to open ONE IM app, enter friend's name, send them a message, and receive message from them in the same place. And I don't want to know who's on Facebook and who's on Yahoo Messenger. I don't even wanna see those icons next to people's names or anything. And I want it to have a web client. And amazing search. There goes your billion dollar company.

The helium is used to keep the pressure on the oxygen tank constant once the tank starts to empty (basically the helium is used to push the oxygen down).

It's probably inside for mechanical reasons pumping liquid helium is a nightmare it sips through pretty much everything (it can even go through glass when sufficiently cooled), in this case you don't really need to worry about all that stuff since you simply let the helium out and the difference in density would sort everything.

As for the reason it's not used to "cool the helium" it's because helium boils at -268.9c the liquid oxygen is cooled to -182.9c or to ~-206c in cryogenic mode, this is still way above the boiling temperature of helium.
This would be about as effective at cooling, as cooling boiling oil with boiling water, incidentally it's also about as explosive ;)
I'm not Sondre obviously, but basically a derivative idea is only cool if you can show that your variation will somehow be bigger and/or more important than the original idea. Otherwise you're thinking too small.

The opinion piece is dripping with hypocrisy. If Yassmin Abdel-Magied wants to walk out of the author's speech and go blog about her discomfort, so what? That's a form of speech too, and we shouldn't be trying to discourage it.

I defend the author's right to say all this, but the shallow "Millenials should talk less and smile more" angle really doesn't speak to me.
GM had the Cadillac/CMU technology, but due to...I'll call it managerial oversight, they lost their initial IP to Google in 2009 (basically everybody had left and took their knowledge with them) and then again to Delphi in 2015 with the Ottomatika acquisition.

GM knew it needed self-driving technology, and Cruise was in the right place at the right time. Kudos to Cruise for pulling it off. Hopefully GM doesn't repeat themselves and effectively kill the technology for a 3rd time.
FWIW: I am not a rocket scientist.

I'd be willing to bet it is to reduce the efficiency loss due to vacuum. The fuel tank (oxygen tank) is going to empty itself. However, you can't have a vacuum in the tank. So do you acknowledge that the rate of flow of fuel exiting the tank will be slowing down over time or do you keep the tank "full" to ensure constant pressure?

Helium, is inert, less dense than oxygen and cheap. It's probably the best space filling collection of atoms, and simultaneously it's density[1] forces the oxygen further "down"[0] the fuel tank.

[0] down is some direction relative to thrust.
[1] density according to: "weight" generated by thrust.
