The best teams and organizations are the ones that are constantly learning, and foster an environment that encourages and supports that.

And, can take those lessons learned, and establish practices to help prevent and minimize such mistakes in the future.

I've seen lots of teams totally embrace the first, but inexplicably, don't follow through with the second step. They go through the motions of "learning" without actually learning.
The boss wants, the slaves do, the boss takes the credit & profit.
A forever loop that may end only if you become the boss.
As a pedestrian, I hate that the law is written such that pedestrians always have the right of way. Nothing pisses me off more than when I walk up towards an intersection, notice that there is a car coming along a hundred yards down the road, with a quarter mile of open space behind it, and I have to do this awkward "don't look like you're trying to cross" dance to get them to just go by and let me cross at my leisure after it is all clear. I really just want to wait my turn and cross when the flow of traffic makes it safe to do so.

I usually go out of my way to cross at places where there aren't crosswalks, because there is usually much better visibility, and people are driving in a more consistent, predictable manner.
Reminds me of Fahrenheit. Bradbury envisioned roads where cars go really really fast, can barely see where they're going since all is a blur. Social norm is that stepping on the road means you die and that you were an idiot for having done it. Cars don't break or swerve for people or animals on road. They might feel inconvenienced by the splash of blood on their car.
I can't sing the praises of Dokku enough these days. I'm a developer who ran a constantly with a few partners for several years and now I have a day job. I used to maintain about 8-10 VPS scattered all over, with Puppet, but when I took the full time job I moved some clients off and the rest to a single dedicated server, still configured with Puppet and kind of let it sit for awhile.

This wasn't a good place to be so I decided to clean it up and instead of running with Puppet again, I decided to check out PaaS solutions and I couldn't be more pleased with Dokku, I'm currently running JIRA, Confluence, Rails, Node.js, Go, PHP and several static (with middleman/jekyll/etc) sites on a modest VPS at Digital Ocean and I love that I don't have to think about overhead anymore when spinning up new projects. Just `dokku apps:create` and `git push` and it's done. The killer features for the migration for me have been the storage feature for specifying mounts for apps that aren't 12f friendly and the biggest one of all is the Letsencrypt plugin. It's so easy to setup SSL/TLS for new apps that it just feels wrong.

Dokku is amazing, and I'm looking forward to sending some funding to the maintainers.

Edit: forgot to mention in addition to all those apps, I'm also running the necessary backing services, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch and Kibana.
Lol...think that was obvious satire
Ah, yeah. I think that's actually where I saw it. Thanks.
Facebook is not appealing the spam decision and, the spokesperson points out, it has won on hacking so far.

The wording of 'won on hacking' is extremely worrying, if it is verbatim. Facebook seem to act here as if they can steamroll over power-users who stray too far from the 'norm', so to speak, without consequence: while it is true that all companies must try to save face, accusing an app developer of hacking and spamming is too far.

I guess not appealing the spam decision is some small humility, but treating a lawsuit like a competition to 'win' has certain implications on Facebook's strategy.
Interesting, reminds me of some old provocative article by Timothy Reichert "Bitter Pill" someone told me about sometime back. In that instance it was something along the lines of women being in a prisoners dilemma with regards to contraception and some economic market analysis stuff about women's SMV although I forget if he used that term or some other form of market value applicable to the ladies.
Eh, in spite of the judgey-sounding title (and defensive sounding replies here on HN), a skim suggests this is just factual data, without suggestions as to why this is a trend.

I think one factor that gets largely overlooked is that these are people who grew up in The Information Age. My 29 year old son has told me that long before he knew sex was supposed to be enjoyable, he understood it could lead to life altering responsibilities (baby, long term ties to the mother) or even deadly disease.

Lots of marriages are not happy -- even if it doesn't end in divorce, you can just be stuck with a sucky situation. I don't see any reason to assume we need to have everyone aspiring to marriage. With 7 billion people on the planet, it is not like there is some population shortage that needs to be remedied.
Surprised it hasn't been said but... here?

I think articles + discussion can help in ways to weed out bias (though it can certainly go the other way as well).
PG Phriday: Perfectly Logical
We all work hard on the things we make. But many of us open source those things so that others can make them better. When we restrict commercial re-use, we're hobbling the project in certain ways. What if someone wants to help make it better, but they want to earn money from their improvements? You can still license the code with attribution and share alike. That way people know you designed it, and you get to use the improvements other people make.

It's okay that they choose a non commercial license. But it may make me less interested in supporting it.

But I'll check out their PCBs and see if I can help make any improvements. I like this project.
You're actually talking about people who do casually defend their own life and health, by choosing to walk.

In actual urban cities (eg NYC, Chicago, Boston), pedestrians are quite capable of informally navigating with cars, crossing at any point of a street rather than waiting for some preposterous "walk light" (and possibly even being expected to push a filthy button to activate it!?). Streets are a shared resource for many types of users, so it is certainly not a given that a single type of traffic should be given utmost blind priority. That kind of thing is an explicit policy decision, and is currently reserved for the few "controlled access" highways.

I think it will be quite unfortunate if the west coast style of "oblivious" driving becomes calcified as code and exported to the rest of the world. Self-driving cars actually represent an opportunity to roll back this fallacious attitude that "streets are for cars", as a self-driving car is much more attentive and will not tire of being vigilant. For example, if your automatic car cannot gauge whether a crossing pedestrian intents to cross in front of or behind it and make a slight speed adjustment (as said pedestrian has already done, and as current human drivers are expected to do), then it deserves to come to a quick stop and wait there like an idiot until you upgrade it to competency.

In line with the original article, I think this whole subject is an utter red herring and an amazing illustration of how the media can manufacture its own concern over a topic just to fill pages. The thought experiment is specifically called the "trolley problem" because trolleys run on discrete tracks and stop slowly. In the real world braking and turning have basically the same avoidance distance, accelerating does not save you from accidents, and people are never expected to drive off cliffs to avoid pedestrians.
Yes, there was a stock sales window when I worked there and I assume there still is now.

Most publicly traded companies have lockout periods if you have access to "insider information." Given that Twitter is (was) fairly transparent about company financials, this is probably still true.
Depends on what you mean by "goes against the will of the voters".

There have been close elections where one candidate won the popular vote and the other won the electoral vote. That hasn't led to the electoral college being abolished.

If you're talking about faithless electors, they have so far never affected the outcome of an election. If they did, I'm sure the calls for reform would become even louder than they are now.

If the electors were intended to be able to exercise their own judgement, it hasn't really worked that way in practice.

I made a platform where people can hire a mentor to learn programming (ruby/rails, frontend, devops, big data). I've focused on mentorship with a per-week payment, so not a 1hour tutor or 15min "solve concrete task" service, but a real, long-term mentor dedicated to sharing all the knowledge with students.

Initial customers base grew from the free ebook I wrote and various blog posts available on the website. Lots of success are due to email newsletter, which I'm trying to keep useful and rarely send any ads there.

I'm taking 20% from each payment and that's be growing quiet well so far, especially after entering english-language market. Website is https://mkdev.me/en

I don't like to be mean but I honestly don't see /pol/ has a big influence in the election or politics like some commentors have stated. First, most of the action /pol/ does outside of their board is mostly on Twitter and various open polls. I've never seen /pol/ do anything close to real life action. Not a single event or protest IRL. Not even a letter writing campaign. Just posting image macros. It's all in good fun I'm sure, but they're not going to change the opinions of voter blocs with Rare Pepes that's for sure.

Maybe you meant "Nobodies jaywalk in Los Angeles", because I may (or may not be) doing it sometimes.

Definitely not main streets though, that would be like playing frogger on the hardest difficulty. Already feel like I'm playing it at crosswalks.
This is a decision that can be made city-by-city, I believe. My local suburb has a 10,000 population, so it's not difficult to get a couple hundred people together to petition the city to set speed limits.

New York might be busy enough that there's never empty streets, I don't know.

For cities of a couple million people or less, I imagine so few people petition the city council for adjustments to the traffic law that they'd probably hear your concern.
Well, they bought Yammer which at the time was a direct Twitter clone (but made for small businesses.)

You know what would make for a better acquisition? Amazon.

Twitter has tons of customers, tons of dark fiber, lots of internal cloud technologies (mesos, etc.) and a huge international peering network of IP routers.

Amazon needs a way into social and real time news.
No, certainly not. Just that such things can often safely be omitted, but should definitely be omitted when they would disrupt the conversation by being insulting, inflammatory, off-topic, etc.
I'm okay with you being funny now.
Clinton Aides Discussed 'Emails to and from POTUS'
What are your thoughts now? Still one of the last things on your priority list?

Does that include the stupidity of a child chasing a ball into the street? Or a non-native, who fails to understand local jaywalking laws or customs? It certainly seems to include a mentally disabled person who might wander into the road. Seems callous.
I've never had that happen and I've been using Clementine ever since Amorak 1.x was discontinued.
Amazing feature. Amazing product. Thanks antirez.
Let's say you want to run a service that does scene classification in images using deep convolutional networks. It takes 100ms on an Intel chip today, and 3ms on a GPU. But you can't run your entire service on a GPU...you're going to need that CPU anyway. So if Intel can close the gap even a little bit (say, down to 25ms), it might be worth it to avoid the headache of running a GPU server and just buy more Intel chips, which can run anything.
In most places, living with someone is basically the same thing as 'marriage' from a legal perspective.

And yes, the laws are often unfair.
Compared to 100 years ago roads are already pretty locked down, we have traffic lights and dedicated pedestrian crossings. And we're fine with it.

Realistically, speed limits will probably stay low (or might even decrease) in any residential area you'd want to play in. Additional barriers will be put up where parks / schools are located on busy streets. Only arterial roads will see an increase in speed limits.

All of this is decades away, more than enough time to accept the new reality as the norm.
I actually am for a constitutional convention in which everything is up for grabs. Many of the recent years' controversies have been due to creative interpretation of the constitution. While I personally am happy for a few of them (gay marriage for example), many have stoked controversy. The best way to end the debate is to put it to the people to restate what their constitution means.

We should not be afraid of democracy, either we trust the people of this nation to self-govern or we don't. Yes, I am not a fan of direct-democracy, but amendments to the constitution is more about deciding what is important enough to us to enshrine as part of the spirit of our law going forward.

To give an example of the current desire for a convention, see the wiki article I linked elsewhere. A right wing group has had legislation calling for a convention to pass in eight states and a left wing group has managed to get it passed in five other states. Unfortunately, these groups are calling for different things, but it shows there is a brewing desire for a convention.
I would like to see Facebook lose the ability to suggest that items are trending, lose the ability to censor political comments, lose the ability to curate feeds, and lose the ability to prevent users from moving to other platforms.

In the meantime I would congratulate and support independent investigations into Facebook abuse of it's platform for domestic and international political purposes.
All laws are moral. However, immoral actions may be lawful. This is because laws are basically the fixed set of moral rules for society, while there may be other moral rules not generally agreed upon. I agree with the author, as long as the cars obey the law, there should be no problem.
> I find it amusing that should a sentient AI arise post transition, it could reasonably think of itself as a carbon based life form

The best of everything (X) ends up carbon-based. Life forms, computers, space towers, etc. It's just due to the carbon atom having a bunch of unusual properties.

(X) - whereas "everything" is an exaggeration used to make a point
Really curious how Intel (others?) determined that these new instructions are for deep learning. The instructions are for permutation, packed multiply+low/high accumulate, and a sort of masked byte move. Are these super common in deep learning?
Bradbury certainly had a strong sense for how society/technology evolve. Are such accidents worth the cost of essentially creating additional free time for the majority of car-operating humanity? Sorry for the leading question.
Do you mean that, in their ideal world, anyone who was sitting at their desktop computer trying to do actual work, and needed to search for something online, would have to pull out their phone and search Google with it instead of with their desktop browser? And then do some silly dance of manually typing URLs from their phone's screen into their desktop computer?

Because that's patently absurd. That would cripple their own use of their own search engine.

However, that's not to say that there aren't necessarily some..."people"...at Google who would try to pursue such a patently absurd outcome. Maybe we need to give more serious consideration to these "distributed search engine" projects...

The problem with communities, online and otherwise, is they develop a certain prevailing attitude. These can either be weak (e.g. Reddit, 4chan) or strong (e.g. /r/The_Donald, /pol/) depending on how you delineate these.

You can make a case that /sg/ is a good source of news, but it's part of 4chan. I'd rather follow individuals doing reporting on something more neutral like Twitter.

Use this all the time -- I kinda wish it could remember what columns I select or turn off. I don't often care about windows pricing, and tend to think about monthly cost vs hourly.

Could you run your experiments on something like AWS EC2 or Digital Ocean? Likely cheaper and they're easy to start from a clean slate.
Exactly, this is the most navel gazing fake moral dilemma. We already know that we could reduce fatalities on the road by reducing speeds and using different types of intersections. We choose to do neither with regularity. Because they would cost time and/or money.

Objectively autonomous vehicles are such a massively huge improvement in our capabilities that we should be taking larger risks than we are currently. We shouldn't be hand wringing about these constructed 'what ifs'. The entirety of our efforts should be focused on pushing the envelope on implementation/execution.
In New York and California local rules are often / always overruled by the state. New York City can't even change the speed limits without the permission of the state government. It is unlawful for them to install speed enforcement cameras. In states where the state can override cities, it will always happen that convenience-obsessed drivers from suburbs and exurbs will be able to force their worldview on urban areas.
Thank you. I wasn't about to dig just to find that out. Thanks :) +1
He didnt found PayPal. He founded an early competitor to PayPal that merged with it, giving him huge equity in Paypal itself.

If you want to talk manufacturing and vehicle dynamics, he also founded Telsa, an electric vehicle company, and SpaceX, a Spaceship company. Anything about those two vehicle manufacturing companies that might lend you to believe he knows something about manufacturing and vehicle dynamics?

He undoutably doesn't have the concept fully sorted, but at least vilify the man for actual faults, not ones you want to make up.
Even if the science becomes feasible, this domain in encumbered with too many patents.
Great points. Design of our cities, zones, and infrastructure can and will make an impact.
Russians have demonstrated time and time again they will shoot first and ask questions later, and many times they don't even bother asking questions.

US intelligence is not always as rigorous, either, don't get me wrong, but the Russians in Syria seem to have very loose definitions of what qualifies as a target.
If your family's women have had a 'hard time' at the hands of men, it's perfectly understandable that they would say this, that doesn't make it right.

One, probably 'very important' thing that came from their relationships was you :).

Also - having grown up mostly with my mother, who didn't have that much negative to say about my father or other men - still - it took me 30 years to process just how 'one sided' these kinds of things are. 'It takes two' to disagree. There is always another side. I've seen women psychologically abuse and harass men to their breaking point and they felt no remorse or responsibility in the matter (as well as men who were just as bad).
Are school shootings worth the cost of guns you can buy easily? US sure thinks so.

Sorry for the loaded answer.
What I'm saying is that no matter what, a woman gets the final say over what happens to the undeveloped fetus that's inside of her. At the extreme end of that position, if one of them has to die, the woman gets to make the choice who, not the fetus, not the state. But even if the woman's life isn't at risk, the choice should still be her's.

> Many (most?) pro-life people would agree with allowing abortion in such cases

It doesn't matter, because they are many more who want to ban it entirely. Many religions, such as the Catholic Church, teach that there are no circumstances in which abortion is acceptable. Women have died in Catholic hospitals because of this doctrine. If we say some abortions are allowed, and some aren't, then we're politicizing what should be a medical decision between a woman and her doctor.

Microsoft is going to announce the GA (General Availability) Visual Studio 2016, Team Foundation Server 2016, and Visual Studio Code 2.0 at this connect event in November.

Big news for sure…the real question is now that Microsoft is on annual release cadences for their developer tools…will the rapid release cycle move the needle for developers or just cause added frustration…
That's a classic problem with monorail enthusiasts. Early drawings of proposed monorails used to show single lightweight elevated rails on thin pylons.[1] Pictures of successful operating monorails, such as Tokyo Haneda, show double tracks on heavy pylons.[2] Often there's an emergency walkway alongside.

(There are a surprising number of operating monorail systems in the world now. The US is way behind in this. The few in the US are airport systems or tourist attractions, but Japan and China, and now Brazil, have city-sized systems.)
Well, "process" and bureaucracy tend to march hand in hand. I think it's easy to get carried away with creating "processes" (i.e., additional bureaucracy) when sometimes people just need to show good judgement. Pushing code right before you leave for the weekend is just bad judgement, and the guy learned his lesson. Heavily bureaucratic institutions laden with processes are not exactly known for their efficiency or pleasant work force.
They should have said "don't let a bad man ruin your future," they probably had experiences limited to their own circles of men, but it was short-sighted of them to think you would be constrained to the same fate.
How often, in places where there is a great deal of traffic, do children get hit chasing their balls? How often are mentally disabled people wandering around alone, when they're so disabled they can't work out a crosswalk and a red or green light? How often are non-natives struck and injured in these situations?

I ask, because I become immediately suspicious when someone tells me, in so many words, "To think of the children."
The way I hear Aaron Levie speak, I would have thought Box had more market share.
Rent control is anti-market. You can never control the rent control and end up with rich people taking advantage of it and poor people paying extra because market is adjusted without those rent controlled units...
It sounds like 200ns is the upper expected network delay. If 9 network delays at 200ns are experienced, it'll retrain the link.

Having been in this situation and been supervisor to people in this situation, it's possible to not be lying but also to not have complete understood the task or have it mis-spec'd.

Having someone rip into for lying when the spec was terrible to begin with is massively discouraging and the OP lesson applies just the same there.
It's not just a matter of freshness. They are also served by different backends with different trade-offs.
What is your email? I'd like to give this some fair thought, and in order to do so I want to install Fedora 25 and give it a test drive.
