a couple more I'd thought of

- short haul flights will become obsolete - just hop in the car at night and arrive in the morning

- new crimes will occur - phantom cars will be in demand for criminals - cars that pretend they're part of the network but are really owned by someone else to provide false information

- one other possibility some people won't have a home, just travel in a car from place to place and live in overnight motels

- eventually will cities even be necessary any more? A lot of a city is because of a central hub for transportation like trains and buses, they'll disappear
Shouldn't New York be more expensive that SF?
I made my own timer after trying almost everything else out there.

The one I have now is a tomato emoji in my Mac menubar. When I tell it I'm working, it asks what I'm working on (so I can keep it in a logfile and do fun analytics on it later), then plays my work playlist in iTunes and updates a webpage[1] that lets my wife know I'm working for the next 25 minutes.

When the time is up, it stops the music and asks how the pom went (also for the logfile).

It's absolutely the perfect solution for me. I can't imagine finding an app that does these things that someone else had built. The ROI on building tools for myself that help my workflow has been extremely positive.

It would be pretty creepy if my self driving car could know that the people in our path have a criminal past
This is insightful. Of course, the OP is consciously playing off the earlier app-deployment spoof (https://circleci.com/blog/its-the-future/).

But this earlier spoof may well be based, intentionally or not, on the SOAP piece you linked -- which was a hit on HN 7 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2079631).

Thus prompting the observation and related question: These three areas - front-end, deployment, RPC - seem to have engendered a churn in standard approaches, and a corresponding cultish devotion to certain toolkits -- leaving them open for satire. But yet, there is also a need for a guru to explain WTF to do, because a lot of practitioners need to get these jobs done.

So, what is the deeper parallel between the areas? E.g., a lot of corporate resources suddenly poured into these problems, and everyone is funded to come up with, and promote, their own solution?
This seems drastically oversimplified. For instance, all of the scenarios depicting a crash into a concrete barrier assume the death of everyone in the car, but generally a car has far more protection for its passengers (airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones, etc), than pedestrians have from being struck by a vehicle.

I'm very interested in your project and would like to contribute, having tried to design similar projects in the past but never making it past the brainstorming stage.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of this, and this effect could actually explain the difference without any bias from incentives.
You lost nothing, you launched nothing, ideas are a dime a dozen.

And you're wring if you think it's the same product. Just the fact that Facebook launches it means it's not the same product. You would never have had the audience and market clout that they have.

It actually sounds like you think the idea that you had that you didn't act on was in some way valuable. That's a bit weird.
Convoy | Seattle | Onsite | Full-time

We're optimizing the trucking and logistics industry; automating what is, today, a $749B industry that still runs on fax machines and phone calls. Currently backed by top tier investors. Read about us: http://fortune.com/2015/10/27/superstar-investors-back-convo...

I'm employee #2, and I've been here since we were borrowing desks at a local startup incubator. We've grown a lot since then, but we still have a tight-knit, high leverage engineering team. I love arriving at the office in the morning - I get to work with some of the smartest folks I've ever met, and not just in engineering. We also have a fantastic sales/operations/brokerage team, and we work with them constantly to build best-of-breed logistics automation.

We would love more engineers, up and down the stack, and anywhere on the generalist <-> specialist spectrum. We use pretty cutting-edge tech (React, React-Native for mobile, TypeScript + Node for backend), but we're a lot more interested in engineering chops than any particular tech skills.

If you're in Seattle, reach out and grab coffee with me or one of our other engineers. The last 18 months have been a wild ride, but we have years and years ahead of us to build a logistics titan!

Heads up: developer interviews with Shopify are a sitdown with 2-3 HR people who do not have an ounce of experience in development. You will not meet the CTO, the local office's technical director, or even a team lead developer. The interviewers will not be impressed one iota with your experience, as your interview is purely designed to judge you on a first impression culture fit.

If you are not a smooth-talking, 18 year old, ass-kissing fake personality, skip this interview and go to any other company where you will find an interview judging you on merit rather than whether the interviewers want to go to the club with you at midnight on a Friday night.

Source: my own 25+ interviews over the years, with 4 employers over a span of 13 years; in addition to two truly senior developer friends who found themselves in the same situation with them. Shopify is 95th percentile worst interview process for software developers and engineers in Canada.

Why are ES6 and JavaScript treated separately in this survey?

I thought ES6 is just a new version of JavaScript (the ECMAScript standard)? I thought both are written using the same HTML <script> tag. Why is it necessary to consider ES6 different from JavaScript in this survey?

Could you please throw some light on this?
Awh, I'm pretty sad to hear that from an experienced Ember dev. I've heard some pretty bad things about Angular and I've seen some horrible Angular codebases. It's entirely possible that I'm looking at Ember through the eyes of a Rails developer who wants a better front end experience.

There is a good chance that I'll run into Ember's warts later on but just how easy it was to get started made me so happy. If I do come to the conclusion that it's something to hate, then I hope something comes along to replace it. I've heard great things about Vue.

I couldn't find anything well written and long about Ember from the ten minutes that I googled. Everything mostly seemed to be hot debates in comment sections. I think that as far as full time JavaScript developers, it's a good idea to aim for a React dominant ecosystem. But as a filthy and uncouth back end programmer, I really just want something easy to hook up. I'm not building something super complex and Ember, while it is probably terrible in sections, solves what I need it to do.

Paging data results to increase performance is what I'm working on right now. I want to feed it into a table.

Getting jQuery stuff like datatables working can be annoying and has led me to look at ember addons.
Not exactly related to the job posting, but I am immensely curious what ISPs you use in Gaza and what their ipv4/ipv6 netblocks, ASNs and upstreams are. The OSI layer 1/2/3 topology of how traffic gets in and out of an embargoed semi-nation-state and the Israel question must be a huge complication.
it's a moral machine, why invoke law?
Fun test to take, but seriously hope they're not drawing any conclusions from the mix of people I "preferred" to save or kill. I didn't consider the age, criminality, or gender of any of the pedestrians or occupants I killed or saved. I just erred toward non-intervention, unless the intervention choice saved bystanders at the expense of occupants. When the potential casualties were animals, they all died.

If the car has the ability to make these kinds of distinctions in such a simple scenario, surely there are more options than two. "Moral?" It smells like eugenics to me: some bizarre, Ivy League technocratic posthumanism. Somehow the value of a life is determined by age, sex and profession? Says who? The people who are programming dataset via https? This is collapsing nuanced spiritual and ethical intuition onto an extremely narrow, low dimensional set of parameters.

What's the premise? This triggers in me an imagination of naive, optimistic, well-adjusted Germans in the 1930s. I know this was probably created with good intentions, but the premise does not match the research question. The premise is "morality". Yet its asking me to rank the value of human life based on presumptuous, superficial categories.

Is "the moral machine" going to also decide which births have more utility? Which countries to send aide to? Who should have access to educational opportunities or quality food? Based on low dimensional datasets such as this one?

The DOM can be mutated just fine behind the scenes by React to reflect whatever brand new state has been passed into it. That brand new state can be anything. It can be a single (by definition immutable) integer. It can be a deep clone of an object. This is the ideal intended Redux architecture. Redux reducer(s) receive the state and return either the state untouched, or a non-mutated copy of the state. React reacts accordingly by expressing this brand new state as (possible) DOM mutations.
Except that fourth fold took me right back here to the comments. But really impressive overall.

I would not understate that it is also very simple to write a driver for. The reasons for this have high overlap with the fact that the ondisk structure is crap. But it does mean that many people were able to write drivers.

Hah, that'd do it. I did notice that it can be a pain to generate a data structure that feeds into ember data. If the structure doesn't match what ember expects, then you don't get an error that spits out the structure that was sent and the structure that is expected.

I was able to gain understanding by using ember inspector to inspect the store and using jq to inspect the json returned from my Rails endpoints.

The New York City Marriage Index, 1950-1995
I followed a similar algorithm, considering all lives equal. Injury versus death: prevent death. Uncertainty versus death: prevent certain death, and assume passengers are more likely to survive an accident because they're better protected. Certain pedestrian death versus certain pedestrian death: prefer non-intervention over intervention. Certain passenger death versus certain pedestrian death: protect the passengers.

Justification for that last one: self-driving cars will be far safer than a human driver, such that it'll save many lives to get more people using self-driving cars sooner. Self-driving cars not prioritizing their passengers will rightfully be considered defective by potential passengers, and many such passengers will refuse to use such a vehicle, choosing to continue using human-driven cars. Thus, a self-driving car choosing not to prioritize its passengers will delay the adoption of self-driving cars, and result in more deaths and injuries overall.
Well, this article did a good job in scaring me off of donating any organs whatsoever. I currently disallow donating organs upon my death, because I think if I'm a known donor, the doctors might not try as hard to revive me. And now after this, I'm pretty certain I won't take any tests to determine if I'm compatible with anyone needing a kidney.

He is suggesting something much easier and different from DNS.

WHOIS is one of the simplest internet protocols. The RFC is beautifully short. Unlike DNS, there's no rules on sizes of requests or responses, and it uses TCP by default.

Rarest nucleus reluctant to decay
Can you share your NixOS config?
Thanks for the answer. I was not doubting the survey methodology or results. My question was simply out of curiosity.

I would like to request more details on your answer.

1. What kind of ES6 requires transpiling to ES5. I mean, I once tried using Promise and something like Promise.resolve("foo") works just fine. Are there any ES6 constructs that would require transpiling, to work fine on, say, Chrome or Firefox?

2. Is ES6 not completely backward compatible with ES5? If yes, I would consider ES6 as the same (although upgraded version of) language as ES5. If no (e.g. Python 2 vs. Python 3), then it would be justified to consider ES6 to be different from ES5. What's your opinion?

Disclaimer: I am not a JavaScript developer. I am a system programmer. But I do a little bit of web-designing once in a while, for example, to maintain my blog etc. That's why I would like to understand why ES6 is considered a different language than ES5.

Agreed. This has too many axes of differences, and doesn't have sufficiently careful control and consistency to determine which of them are being consistently ignored.

It looks like they were trying to see if people place differing amounts of value on different human lives, but in the process of doing so, they made ridiculously strange value judgments. "Athlete"? "Executive"? "Large"? Why should any of those matter? We're talking about human lives.

The Company That Tears Cars Apart to Find Out Exactly How They're Built
I'm sure that workflow can be made to work, but if I had to answer the question "assume you can't test on your editing box nor edit on your testing box, so how do you get source from your editing box to your testing box?" git would not be anywhere near the top of my list of solutions because it leaves known-bad commits pushed that need to be contained like waste.
Although it is great that this happened and I applaud open source contributions, especially by bigger companies, I wonder what the reasons for such a rewrite were. And why the online platform manager approved it. People often try to convince me of shiny-new-thing-39432 and sometimes we try on a non-risk project and usually we find out it's the same or (more often) worse than what we used before. I like React and theoretically (not practically unfortunately) also Node but if I already have a site built in something else the web team would have to come up with really over the top reasons (and prove them after the roll out!) to just dump that investment.
