To improve the qualitative aspects of writing, in this case for job listings primarily, check out https://textio.com/. There's no API, but I think it will help you think about what "popular" language means.
But actual love is similar, so where is your differential? I realize you could have a simple answer, "is any money involved", but that would make many very good relationships that work out positively for both partners "scams" at one point. Does it also make every stay at home, or temporarily unemployed person a "scammer", if they are receiving financial help? You need an actual differential on love here. If Hillary starts earning a POTUS salary is her husband a scammer, clearly in it for the long con, since he even cheated on her!

So you need a much better differential when you sarcastically say "of course it's love".

It is incredibly difficult to move the field of football analytics forward, especially inside clubs, where despite the implication in the article it is decidedly rare. I've got no objections to the FM database as a possible template for scout reports, but it has nothing to do with analytics, and when people _say_ it does, and then somehow it doesn't work because you bought Ibrahima Bakayoko, it sets the field back even further.

I support Tesla restricting the benefits to their own ridesharing network. Why should Uber or Lyft profit by putting Tesla software into service? I don't just mind, I fully support it, and depending on the breakeven point, I'll buy several Teslas and put them in service as long as there's just a tiny bit of profit after Tesla's cut.

The DS is the second most successful console of all time (the PS2 being #1).

I think it makes a lot more sense for the Geary line to terminate in GG Park or somewhere in the inner Richmond. The density in the area around Ocean Beach does not justify a 3 mile extension from inner Richmond to the beach. A 1 mile subway line from Chinatown to the Marina would serve almost the same amount of people.

Tivo lost because cable/sat went digital and it made a lot more sense to integrate the DVR into the digital receiver than it did to have a separate box that required using a CableCARD. I'm pretty sure most people don't even know what a CableCARD is.

When Tivo was a simple as plugging in the analog coax signal from your cable or antenna, it made a lot of sense. But once the signal from the cable company needed digital decoding, it hurt them, despite Tivo having a better UI.
In some ways. I'm willing to accept that there may be better paradigms out there. However...

>Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy.

Unix can be used as a base for many things. I've written code in a Smalltalk environment written by Alan Kay, Hacked on Scheme and Lisp code inside of Emacs (not ideal, but lightyears ahead of the standard write-compile-test cycle that plagues the industry), written code in an entirely visual programming language, and many other things, all inside of Unix. It may not be the best system for supporting such things, but it works, and that counts for a lot.

I may listen to David Cassidy, but that doesn't mean I can't put on some Daft Punk every once in a while.

The other matter is, of course, that you and Rob Pike wouldn't agree on what is a better OS: Pike's vision likely hews closer to Plan 9, a system that you would likely find too close to Unix.

At the end of the day, Unix can kind of suck. I mean, I like it, I'm by no means a Unix Hater, but it has issues, it's not perfect, and we should look at alternative systems in the future. But it works, and it makes most of the people happy most of the time. That's something its competitors still can't really say. And while Unix has (to some degree) learned from what those competitors do well, something that many of its competitors didn't really do (save Windows (Mac is actually part of the Unix family): While I don't really like PowerShell, I can't deny it's an interesting idea, and potentially a good one).

At the end of the day, all systems suck. Unix sucks more than many, but perhaps less than most.

If that was contradictory and incoherent, well than so are my opinions on Unix, and OSes in general. Also, most of what I write is pretty nonsensical anyways, so I'm not sure how different this is anyways.
Once again: if the sensors don't work for the problem domain, the quantity of data gathered is irrelevant.

If you mounted a forward-facing video camera on every car in in the world and gathered the data for decades, you'd still be nowhere: you're missing the side and rear views. This is a thought exercise, but it demonstrates the point. If your robot car has a blind spot, all the data in the world won't fix it.

Nobody knows how good these cameras are, but every camera-based system so far has had the same critical limitations: they don't work well at night or in poor visibility.
If you really want to improve the integrity of elections, you should require less, not more pieces of ID to vote. Currently, the integrity of elections is compromised via policies that deliberately prevent poor and non-white voters from exercising their rights.

In Canada, you didn't need a proof of residence to vote for the longest time - if you had someone vouch that you live where you said you live. Someone vouched for could not vouch for another person. You could only vouch for one people.

Without this, I wouldn't have been able to vote. I lived with my parents, I didn't have bills addressed to my name, and I had no recent tax forms, by virtue of being a student.

The voter fraud impact on an election (As found by every study and investigation into the question is completely insignificant.) Disenfranchising people like me, or the homeless, on the other hand, is quite significant. Naturally, the Tories, who don't have much luck with either the student, or the homeless demographics, gutted vouching.

Turning one person away from the polls is far worse then allowing one case of voter fraud to slip through. In the case of voter fraud, you have after-the-fact redress - invalidation of ballots, jail time, deportation. In the case of disenfranchisement, its tough shit, try again in four years. Any policy that results in more of the former then the latter is contrary to its purported goals.

I'm sure that Zittrain doesn't think that the government reading the public's e-mails is OK. While this asymmetry is certainly a charge that could be raised against many people, I don't think it works against this particular author.

I'm pretty confident Zittrain would like to see greatly reduced government secrecy and greatly increased privacy protections and doesn't mean to defend the status quo around either of those things.

It's not a horrible comparison, but the barriers to entry between an electric car (+entire charging network) are much higher than a DVR. First mover advantage digs a bigger moat.
See my answer to AnthonyMouse below for my thoughts on this.

I'm not saying that it's ideal for Tesla to lock down the system like this. I'm saying that, given the risks they face, in terms of legislation, regulation and public opinion, their approach is very understandable.

Most of that sounds positive, actually. So I'd be curious as to what the basis for your net negative take was.
The city has already imposed various 'fees' for permitting which penalize high density development, and also uses zoning to keep density down. Now you want it to tax low density as well? An even more complex web of permits, taxes, and regulations only serves to drive the cost of housing higher than it already is. Why not just remove the barriers to high density development?
Federal judges recently struck down portions of voter ID laws in North Carolina and Wisconsin

In the case of Wisconsin

> “The evidence in this case casts doubt on the notion that voter ID laws foster integrity and confidence,” Peterson wrote. “The Wisconsin experience demonstrates that a preoccupation with mostly phantom election fraud leads to real incidents of disenfranchisement, which undermine rather than enhance confidence in elections, particularly in minority communities. To put it bluntly, Wisconsin’s strict version of voter ID law is a cure worse than the disease.”

In North Carolina,

> “The new provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision” and “impose cures for problems that did not exist,” Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the panel. “Thus the asserted justifications cannot and do not conceal the State’s true motivation.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/appeals-c...

In the case of North Carolina the representatives actually asked for information on how the proposed law would affect African American voters, then went ahead and did exactly the worst things.

Besides that

I don't buy (1). B-vN probes don't care about transit time or cost.

(2) is arguing for some kind of middle ground between "it's just us" and "lots of tech civs"; i.e., that life can get to the point of sending signals way easier than it can get to the point of launching a probe. But in our case the delta's just going to be a couple centuries, so no, that doesn't work for me either.

Not an easy drive to make with triplets, but we loved it. Didn't make a peep.

Hospitals are required to provide emergency services regardless of whether you can pay the bills. Pausing for even a second to check a patient's ability to pay when their life is on the line would be heinous in my opinion.
A quick google search seems to claim otherwise. I've seeing articles as extreme as claiming 1 in 5 registered voters in Ohio are bogus individuals.[1] It seems, it matters greatly who does the "investigation" and in what light/political climate.

Regardless, even if there was zero voter fraud - it's crazy to think we check ID's to buy cough syrup, alcohol, every time you use a credit card, see a rated R movie, rent a car, rent an apartment, etc... but not when you vote.

Extract Fixed-Pattern Noise of Smartphone Camera Sensor
As the article notes, this isn't about ride-sharing as we know it. It's about having your car autonomously drive somebody else around without you. You can use your Tesla while driving for Uber or Lyft — but if you're going to have the car autonomously drive people around for fares, Tesla requires that you put it on their network. It's still lame, but it's not the "You can't drive for Uber in a Tesla" situation that a lot of people seem to be interpreting it as.

Continuing that path I'd say: Tesla gets software right. Way better than what I've seen in other cars.

But what stops that iPhone metaphor for me is Design, Materials and Finish. Apple Products look and feel like luxury. Where as Tesla only achieves that on the software side - and in your pocket.

Against the No-Fly Zone
SF is the second highest density city in the US. I agree that as long as the NIMBYs prevent building housing, then SF won't really reap the benefits of improved transportation, but SF has pathetically bad public transport for the existing density. I live in much lower density Oakland/Berkeley, and I can get around by BART better than most city dwellers.
Looks really cool. Too bad it’s not out in time for christmas. The thing would sell like crazy this year.

What I find most notable in the video is their nod to competitive-gaming / esports, which Nintendo has such a long history of shunning/disrespecting/mis-understanding. Maybe they’re finally trying to atone for the debacle around the whole Smash scene? (Then again, maybe it’s just the marketing people who put this video together thought that would be fun to add and have no idea about Nintendo’s history here.)
NYC has subways that extend out to less dense / borderline suburban neighborhoods. Though ridership to these terminals is much lower than in manhattan and northern brooklyn and queens, they're still an important way for some people to get to work.

I agree, however, that SF needs to build at a higher density (outside of FiDi and downtown) regardless of future subway infrastructure.
Which is utterly disingenuous too.

"It would have avoided this accident" (by braking, steering). It can say nothing about the future, "... but it would still have been in a collision 0.42 seconds later".

For all the collisions it would have avoided, there's another subset where it would only have "delayed" the collision. But that won't be mentioned. Because it doesn't fit the narrative.

You know, saying he had information meaning we had to go to war when in fact, he didn't.

Imagine someone rilling everyone up about a pedophile who kidnapped their child and then, when everyone has kicked the kidnapper's door in and shot him, they reveal that it was actually just a rumor?

Why should we draw some hard line between sides of his life? I never hear prosecutors say "Well, he robbed a bank, but only as part of his day-job. When he retires he'll be guiltless."
Chicken and egg. Subways enable density. Right now if you greatly increased the density of many SF neighborhoods, you'd overwhelm the transportation infrastructure. (Obviously there are neighborhoods with transit that could already support increased density).

Hilariously, I wrote my highschool senior thesis on this exact topic. It was a case study on Seattle, Houston, and New York and how density changed before/after transit was added. You can see the pattern pretty clearly, transit leads to density and not the other way around. Which makes sense, right? Because density can be increased one building at a time, but generally subways need a huge investment to put in an entire line at once and benefit from having an extensive network.
With the Bush v Gore election, nothing like it had happened before. Of course he wouldn't contest it beforehand. Now there has been a history of it happening. It definitely makes more sense to hesitate now.

> They are not, as of yet, that clear on how neural nets, sensor systems, and dynamically updated software come together to make a self-driving vehicle.

They don't have to be, for the same reason that you don't have to understand Maxwell's equations to understand that it's possible to cause a fire with bad wiring. The concept of "the user modifications caused the problem" is not beyond the public understanding. Anyone who cares about more details than that can take the time to understand them but those are not the people you have to worry about.

> It's not the same. A bureaucrat's rules are mandatory for everybody. Tesla has competitors who may choose a different route.

Your arguments either apply or they don't. Their competitors are not in a different situation and there are not very many of them. They'll likely all make the same choice.

> A self-driving Tesla is not an iPhone, because an iPhone is unlikely to run somebody over or block a freeway. Risks are relevant.

That's the point. You don't want a black box in control of life or death situations. You want something the user can understand when they're capable of it, so that the 2% of users who are can identify and fix problems that will affect the other 98% before it turns into deaths and liability.

Opening up the car could reduce their liability, because it gives them somewhere else to point the finger sometimes, and a large population of people willing to find and fix problems. If they control the car entirely then all the liability is always on them and no one can help them when they make a mistake.

> Maybe in the future, when such things are more familiar, Tesla will feel confident enough to open their products up to modders. But right now? When even the idea of self-driving cars is a challenging sell, and they're being criticized for it not being secure and consistent enough? No, not now.

Right now is when the precedent and expectations are being set.
