"The manufacturer shall be responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle, including compliance with all traffic laws, when the autonomous vehicle is operating in autonomous mode within its approved operational design domain."

The California DMV has it right. Self-driving cars are allowed, but if a manufacturer screws up, they have to pay all damages and may forfeit their $5 million bond. If they screw up badly, DMV can pull their license to sell or test self-driving cars.

There's practical stuff in there, such as coordinating with the California Highway Patrol with a plan for moving a stalled autonomous vehicle. (How to turn it off. How to get it to release the brakes for towing. Can it be pushed? Stuff like that.)

Why did you quit to freelance?
I have a daughter (turning 4 this month) and I wanted to work from home and have a more flexible schedule. I applied for a few companies that offered remote work, but the schedules weren't that flexible (they all seemed to have core hours, except WordPress, which was a top contender). I also love to travel...my wife and I average 6 weeks of vacation and a dozen or more countries per year, and that has been a problem at every company for me so far. She is a registered nurse, so she can easily get a month off at a time.

I work for a company (Surge) that guarantees 40 hours a week, though I regularly exceed that, either through clients who don't mind overtime, or when clients overlap. The team is distributed, and the schedules are completely flexible (I spent a month at our condo in the Philippines in February, and was able to put in work despite the time difference).

If I had a time machine, I would go back and do this sooner.

EDIT: If you want me to pass along your resume to Surge, email me (contact info in profile)
I will have to disagree with this on the following grounds:

1) As others have pointed out, look who's doing the suggesting. Recruiters profit from your movement between jobs, hence they will always encourage/justify it. This prioritizes their interests, not necessarily yours.

2) You were thinking of leaving, then the employer gave you a reason to stay. Sometimes life isn't worth overthinking: you got what you wanted through negotiation (your willingness to leave), so enjoy it!

Now that's not to say things always go well with this scenario. A counter-offer is not something I would want to normally do as an employer. It sets a bad precident: if I value you as an employee and my cost of replacing you is very high, you can just threaten to leave an get an automatic salary bump.

Furthermore, when word gets around (and it probably will...) my other employees might not be so happy that someone got an ad-hoc performance review. Now everyone wants their contract re-evaluated.

It's tough, and not black-and-white.
Instead of living together, travel together. Few things more than travel force you to make decisions together involving money, schedules, priorities and more. It's also easier to extricate yourself during or after a holiday than from a joint living arrangement.
You can get them for under $100 a year from some resellers. I got mine from here http://codesigning.ksoftware.net/

My father once received a pre-emptive counteroffer.

Basically, he did his job well and took on steadily increasing responsibilities as the company expanded rapidly, and in five years he went from a minor role in a small business to a critical role in a large business. One day his bosses suddenly realized that their senior system administrator was working for peanuts and any of their competitors would love to have him.

They gave him a 50% raise on the spot. He hadn't even been thinking about other work.

How do you identify a good manager? I ask because I've had both good and bad but no indication of which is which at the beginning. Some seemed super engaged when interviewing but disappeared once I started working.
Same here. I'm battling with this thought a lot. Beyond jobs, I think there should be communities of developers, designers, producers, writers, getting together and figuring out this stuff. And I don't mean open source projects. Let's group together smart people wanting to make a difference and have a hit list of things we (people) actually need. A group that would organise people into mission driven development.

I'm so fed up of getting paid to potentially make founders rich. Or to be a small cog in a gigantic machine on a slow decline. I'm also unemployable because I can't buy into the corporate BS anymore. And where I am, there doesn't seem to be design/dev jobs that actually want to make a difference. It's an economy problem.

The startup thing seems to be the best way we go about solving problems in the world today. But if you happen to _not_ be at the right place at the right time, meeting the right people, poof, it's gone. I can't imagine that an advanced specie would operate this way. We should be focused on solving problems, instead of being focused on escaping the rat race, to then be able to solve problems.

I'm glad I am not alone seeking purpose. There goes a point where you're technically advanced, you have itches to fix things and all you see is the broken economy of consumerism and "let's give kids video clips and smileys, derp".
I wonder, why do Swedes feel the need for independence? Is it a need for security? Or difficulty sharing life with others?

And why does this problem seem to get worse as people gain wealth? Why does increasing affluence seem to always engender greater separation, especially if it makes us less happy?

I don't think this is unique to Swedes. Other north european peoples seem to suffer comparably, like Norgewians. And I think it's common in America too, and seems to arise in communities of all ethnic origin. Wealthy americans of all regional and ethnic extractions seem to follow the same trajectory, I think, with essentially the same outcome.

Wealth seems to breed isolation, and unhappiness. Yet few with wealth ever choose to let go of Xanadu and return to Rosebud.
Taking some trips together is good.

I'd also recommend doing some projects together. Are you there type that likes to wing it, and your partner is the type to careful read the all the directions? You want to find out these sort of temperament issues before getting married.
Considering none of those devices have Bluetooth (well, the PS4 does for the controller) , why would you be able to? That's like buying a scooter, a sports car, and a diesel Volkswagen, and complaining you can't haul a 700lb snowmobile in the non-existent bed. It makes no sense.

Buy a simple $8 3.5mm -> BT transmitter and plug it in. Done.
A Highspeed rail link would be incredible.

I've ridden the Amtrak to Seattle and Portland a few times. It's a much longer trip but its so convenient to not need to bring down a car and be able to use wifi the whole way. If there was a faster rail link I'd go down to Seattle all the time.

This is generally a bad thing and sounds like it will open you up to some kind of timing attack in the future.

This doesn’t improve security and just adds unnecessary complexity.
TL;DR: mostly pull but with appropriate application of hustling

Networking isn't scalable unless you have something industry/domain specific and can reach influencers (top bloggers, users, etc.). It's probably better to work on appealing SEO, design and succint message in a way which automatically sells potential customers on its value. Let the product sell itself 24x7 so you don't have to do as much work. Then, once profit is coming in, think about a sales team and hustling others whom don't/won't self-discover. At the beginning, focus on schelping to solve real/hard problems, providing fanatical support to early customers and other things that don't scale; and eventually make the product experience so compelling they voluntarily spread the word as well.
So your problem is with Dropbox's main purpose of existence?

That's fine, but don't pretend it has anything to do with the finder integration. A more consistent position would be to praise that because it makes the other functionality more visible, reducing the security concerns.
How fitting that the author calls the 4th option Communism. In Chinese culture, food is shared. Maybe not when you go out on a date - but if you are dining out as an entire family, giant plates of food are ordered through consensus of the table, placed on a lazy susan and everyone gets what they desire.
Elements is a bridge while the main project is rewritten. (It's in the name..."elements" of the original project.)

They stated in several places that it can't be "temporarily" fixed due to major structural changes to (I believe) the keyboard driver in Sierra.

Also pretty sure that Karabiner has been free forever. (Donations accepted, but you know how rarely that happens.)

Just keeping the record straight, as someone who loves the app and, yes was temporarily inconvenienced, but bravo to them for rapidly putting out something to tide users over.
I don't know that it really works that way. At least in my experience, salaries are not generally set by an individual, but require multiple approvals. If they had a prepared counteroffer for $140k, it's not likely that he could've just gotten under the manager's skin and had it amped up to 160k without requiring the manager to go back through the approval process.
Atlassian has a nice UI for doing that visually, too. Super easy.

Honestly, people for whom the command line UI is "too difficult" should just use a GUI client. That's the target audience for them.
It's not about the face. It was clearly written there "local pharmaceutical companies trying to produce Western drugs struggle to turn a profit"... What about Theranos in the US? Same..

With salaries and housing prices as they are in Vancouver, the case to stay on the Canadian side of the border instead of leaving for Seattle is awfully weak.
Another approach (which would be time-consuming, admittedly) would be to work from the opposite direction - how many themes in the myths of a particular group don't seem to be found elsewhere? That would tend to argue against some kind convergent evolution, at least, but might not rule out inconsistent transmission to other groups. Even in the article, it looks like the data could be used to emphasize the outliers and not the common thread (which does seem to potentially suffer from selection bias).
The manufacturer and the driver both need accident insurance. It's entirely possible that there will be bundled deals, especially on leased vehicles, where insurance comes with the car.
There was an article a while back about how tech guys tend toward the tragically naive assumption that, because they're doing a great job for the company, the company will naturally take care of them to the best of its ability, so demanding more would be greedy and ungrateful.

I'm sure you can imagine what the author had to say about that attitude. I am totally one of those saps who assumes that if I'm good to people then they'll be good to me, so I found it useful if depressing.
Are you sure? It seems to me the paperwork involved is a whole lot easier than the emotions involved. You aren't really saving much head/heart ache by living together first as a trial.

Not heart ache, but you'd be saving a lot of headaches by living together before marriage. Finances these days... retirement accounts, who paid what into the house... It can be a huge mess.

What if your problem is that you wanted more money?
I was hired as a Software Architect at one company and after about a year and a half on the job we were without a CTO and nobody over my direct manager, who essentially managed the team internally (very well) but wasn't the public persona that I was within the company. Being an agency we needed a lot of internal self promotion as a team, as well as making our sales team aware of what we were capable of and doing that they may not know, as well as being part of pitches that were more technical than average.

I drafted a new role that formalized all those things I had been doing and some, suggested a meager salary bump (like 5-7% when year over year bumps were between 3-5). My manager was on board, but getting leadership buy in besides "that's a great idea" languished for months.

I finally got an offer from a different company that offered all that and more, at a large salary bump (over 25%), large bonuses, options, and a number of other perks just not available to my privately held 200 person company. The huge problem with the new role was at least 30% travel (which means more like 60) and I had a baby and a baby on the way. I offered my resignation and they begged for 24 hours to put together a counter.

Their counter was a blanket okay of my plan, with a twist. I went from Architect to Director and became my boss' boss. They couldn't quite match the salary "because that would make me the highest paid employee at the company" but offered some creative ways to make bonuses to cover the gap.

I always preached the 'never accept a counter' theory, but I'd liked working at this company more than anywhere else and the thought of traveling that much (I used to travel a lot before) was awful sounding. I accepted and was gone 16 months later- so I made it! Honestly though, as much as I loved the work and the creativity we didn't have the time to really get deep into interesting tech. If we did, it was skunkworks projects (I started the skunkworks lab with beer and pizza) that meant working before and after hours and weekends to ever get a concept done.

I didn't leave for just any other company though, I went and started my own. I'm glad I accepted that counter, I never would've had the chance to take my current leap if I had left for the other company.

I've semi-changed my stance now. If you trust your team and leadership, and trust that you are going to be given the power to affect the changes you were looking for that had you looking to leave- then accept the counter. If it's the same ol' same ol' but you have a higher salary, you will wind up leaving sooner rather than later.
I don't think it was unethical. In fact, finding out there is a salary disparity between peers is probably one of the most common ways that large salary raises occur. For that reason, and also because that disparity may result in legal liability if the peers have differing demographic profiles, some companies threaten to terminate anyone who reveals his or her salary to another employee.
Not sure if its possible in a warlord controlled situation, but somehow, it seems like these guys need a union.

By a thousand cuts – How AI might take our jobs
This is great advice, but not really practical with conventional American lifestyles. It's possible once you save enough and get the basics completely paid off, so that you can minimize your expenses to < 1k per month, but it's usually not an option for your average worker. I believe making it an option is a crucial social issue for our time.
Ditto to the readme on GH. The key (ahem) bits:

1. Create ~/.karabiner.d/configuration/karabiner.json
2. Put some stuff in it (my simple example below)
3. Install the app from the GH page.

Key definitions are in the source code, but if you check the Issues discussion on the Elements project, you'll probably find good examples to send you on your way.

Sample karabiner.json:
{
"profiles": [
{
"name": "Default profile",
"selected": true,
"simple_modifications": {
"right_option": "delete_forward"
}
}
]
}
That could change economics a lot. I don't know what the average American driver pays for car insurance.. $80 a month? I would assume with good tech the big makers could self insure for a lot less... Leasing a car with no insurance required makes the lease payment $80+ cheaper...

It is special because it is government. We have tax payer money going to support thousands of people finding 0-days. What I am proposing is to move some of those funds to be defensive and since it is government, the intention and motivation is to make more secure software. It also forces companies and the industry in general to pay more attention to this stuff.

Right now, government doesn't care. Right now, it is cheaper to get hacked, spew all your information, and then say, "sorry". Not right.
California Bans the Word “Autopilot” by Tesla
Splitting IAD off from SIGINT wouldn't reduce the number of zero-days the government collected, but it would:

* Ensure that the advice IAD was generating was untainted by SIGINT influence

* Enable IAD to independently collect vulnerability intelligence and disseminate it (most importantly, to vendors) without having to endure a bogus equities process to ensure they weren't blowing a SIGINT operation.

Of course, this only works if IAD is stripped completely out of the NSA, and perhaps out of the DoD entirely. IAD probably belongs under DHS.
When a government researcher (or government-funded researcher) discovers a new Flash vulnerability, the government hasn't created the vulnerability, nor have they prevented anyone else from discovering that same vulnerability.

Lobbying against SIGINT vulnerability collection doesn't actually make us materially safer --- even if things like the "Shadow Brokers" became routine (rather than the unprecedented shitstorm it actually was), the number and caliber of the vulnerabilities we're talking about are a tiny fraction of the threat we face.
Oil never was that valuable. It was propped by a OPEC cartel.

If you go back in time and watch any press release from the saudis when asked about the idea of "peak oil" - they always said it was nonsense.

It was too easy to earn money just from the oil production capacity in place that they saw no reason to increase it.

The reason why the party was over for the OPEC countries was because of a petroleum engineer from texas who didn't even get rich or famous from completely changing the norms in international trade and global geopolitics [1] even spider man cannot pull something like that off.

The reduction in oil prices is doing wonders throughout the developing world. India for example had to spend huge amount of tax-payer's money to provide support to poor families. In a single year they saved 50 billion dollars [2] ! It might not seem that much, but a dollar in india can get you much further then a dollar anywhere else ( especially if its taken from saudi pockets ) ( Modi for example needs 100 billion dollars in investment to kickstart a process that he thinks will allow india to reach china's level of capacity in manufacturing )

Open economies is good - and tech was always the king, from the invention of the printing press. Its just investors who were dumb to think that paying for a monopoly is a good idea.

We probably do not support "thousands of people" finding zero-days. We might not even support 100 effective researchers.
