Why do you assume this at all?

You can respond pretty much with anything that accurately answers the questions.
If they want more detail, they can then ask for it.

I don't get where this strange idea that if he doesn't provide 100k pages, he's going to be subject to a fine immediately comes from.
It's 100% completely and totally wrong.

If he literally answers the questions, he's fine.
If they want more detail, they can ask for it.

The letter is not designed to kill the company, and the people who think so have probably never dealt with any regulatory agency.

My source on this, btw, is that i've dealt with many regulatory agencies many times.

They aren't psychos, even when they are adversarial.

To give you an example, when involved in a pretty adversarial issue with the DOJ, i cannot say they were anything but professional.

When the DOJ wanted more info on something we said "hey, can we just sit down for an hour and chat", and they'll usually say "great, let's do it", and then maybe they'll say a few weeks later "hey, thanks for doing that, we have some more questions about x, can we set up another hour" and so on.
Are they always like this? No.
(am i the most experienced person in the world? also no, it's also not what i do anymore at all, but this was my experience with pretty much every agency, every time)

But the vast majority of the time, they literally are just trying to gather info to decide what to do.

It's only when they are trying to actually get a particular result that things change. But you'll pretty much know when that happens, and this ain't it.

The only agency i've ever seen just be outright hostile is the CPSC.

The NHSTA, in my experience, is pretty much one of the most level headed and professional agencies you will find.

If you have actual evidence to the contrary, where they have "shut a company down", i'd love to see it.
Now that you mention it, it would be very neat for something like htop to put all its F-key interface stuff on nicely labeled toolbar style buttons on the Touch Bar. That would improve the interface tremendously.
Correction: It's a CPU limitation when used with LPDDR3 modules. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/7th-g... (See section 2.1.1.3, "LPDDR3 supported memory devices")
I was under the impression that there's some operational distinction between looking at and evaluating some information, and declaring a formal, targeted investigation as "open". But its probably too fine a distinction for the general public to be bothered about. It's a bad look vs a worse look.
Maybe they are banking on the hope that enterprises that are already 'locked in', will continue to purchase and refresh inventory with later models.

And trying to appeal to the wider audience with gimmicks like the touchbar at the top.

Also, I have to say, how many of us, with our complaints, are going to bite our lips and buy a new model anyway. I'm on the border, myself (although refurb'ed has been a go-to for me for years in the Apple space).

Innovation has gotten pained across the board - a separate rant, a separate disappointment for me was the new Pixel. I can't use it to replace my 5X because it costs double and doesn't offer much hardware-wise, but the 'Assistant' is supposed to enter that other gimmick captivating the imagination, the AI.

In Apple's case they're calculating that their changes will expand market share and profitability. I don't have an MBA (the degree, not the discontinued model of laptop) so my brain is too small to comprehend the greatness of the decision-making in the design, but I'm guessing it has to do with the 'thinnest, lightest ever' and 'the stupid bar at the top' bulletpoints.
While this is a very early version, something like it will eventually put most programmers out of work. Probably it'll be another language/tool and it won't be very soon, but at some point writing trivial software will actually be trivial.

It's ironic, being a programmer that automates things that people used to do manually, and kind of doing good but leaving someone unemployed. How fitting it will be to suddenly become mostly obsolete as a profession, due to programming being very easy or even done by AI. Dogfooding, anyone?
What framework is behind the UI may I ask?

For code maintenance I've long since given up on assuming the comments are correct and simply read code and try to understand what is going on (and maybe read the comments later to see if they correlate to my understanding of the code). Many times I see that when fixing code, people don't update comments and a few times I've seen the comment indicates good intentions, but the code doesn't live up to the intentions :-).

But I do see your point about it for more complex programs and maybe more complex programs of your own (that a future you will have to maintain).
200k+? Does DE have state tax? What's the cost of living there? That's a fantastic salary for the Bay Area as well which already has inflated salaries to make up for the high cost of living and general high amount of talent. What technologies?
They are in fact re-opening so they can ammend the findings. If it is determined that new emails warrant charges, she may be charged.

The real news story here is that this is what everyone will be talking about for the next weekend, that's three days, with a response by her on Monday. So, maybe four days. That's more than 30% of the remaining election cycle.

As Trump would say. This is big league.
Why would you have all the random crap the NHTSA demanded ready to go if this wasn't a pre-existing regulation?
The Uber lawsuit doesn't fit in that pattern. Cab companies are also being used over the same issue[1], since drivers were always considered contractors. Uber followed the established model there, it's not an example of SV arrogance.

A function can be called from different places, maybe it will be used in code not yet written. So a programmer has a need to print every line. The code to be changed calls printEveryOtherLine. They won't change that function to print every line, because they know that would break things elsewhere.
"A lot of people here are assuming just by turning in "some answers" that it would satisfy the NHTSA. "

Satisfy is not the question.
Yes, they will request more info if they are not satisfied.
But he will not be fined, it will not "shut down the company".

This is a personal attack and isn't OK on HN. Please don't comment like this.
> Can you expand on how they are an inherent danger, rather than a possible danger?

I do not believe those words (inherent & possible) are in any way mutually exclusive. They might even mean the same thing when describing a latent danger. So I do not quite understand the basis of your challenge. Also, I'm not parent poster.

Regarding #2, there's some circumstantial evidence that there was an attempt to hide emails either through deleting them or not turning them over:

In the discussion on Jalopnik (a fairly large auto-enthusiast site), someone mentioned that Alex Roy had a good experience riding in a comma one-equipped car (https://twitter.com/AlexRoy144/status/791996855114694657).

I thought this was an interesting perspective - Alex Roy is famous in car enthusiast circles for his driving records over the past 30 years. He's set speed records with drives across the US and around Manhattan, and has set electric/semi-autonomous records in a Tesla Model S in August 2016.

The point being that Alex Roy has probably spent more time thinking about driving, planning trips, and understanding traffic rules than most other people alive today. His perspective is just a single perspective, but given his massive experience with car-driver systems I think it's an interesting perspective.
I believe what we're discovering is that once a major party picks you, you really can't be tried for any crime. You could be charged. If you lost the election you could be tried. But I'm not seeing how the state could effectively conduct a criminal court case of a major candidate.

This leads me to believe that Congress really has to decide. Beats me whether they should decide before or after the person is sworn in.

(Of course this is just speculating about a generic case.)

Methinks that Comey is factoring in a Trump win, and that the 33,000 deleted emails are coming out before election day.
I think that Eve is tackling the wrong problem.

Allow me an analogy: "Bronk, the math designed for humans." Instead of dense algebraic expressions like "3x+49", you get to write "thrice the value of x plus 49." You may consider this a straw man, but I think that if you look hard at existing programming languages, you'll see that they are all designed for humans, and that the challenge in programming is in formulating your thoughts in a precise fashion. Should languages create higher-level abstractions to allow humans to reason about programs more efficiently? Yes! But that's not what this environment is about.

I do see one possible rebuttal to this, which would be an entirely different form of programming that is to traditional programming what google search is to the semantic web; that is, rather than specify programs precisely, we give examples to an approximate system and hope for the best. In many ways, that's how our biological systems work, and they've gotten us a long way. I don't see that happening in Eve, though.
I installed https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch to get this behavior (it even has thumbnails of the window), but ideally you would have that option out of the box indeed.
Exactly - I had an argument with one who kept parroting that she had 3 servers but only said 1 when asked by the FBI, when I asked if they knew what an email server was they had no clue
Solid questions!

1. We could be more clear about this, but expanding to suit the needs of non-programmers is still very much in the cards. It falls under the umbrella of milestone 3 [1].

2. We're very interested in improving the process of generating UI. To start with, that will mean expanding our library of views (essentially Eve's version of web components) to cover a wider range of common use cases. Beyond that though, HTML is pretty crufty with layers upon layers of of additions and legacy support, it would be very interesting to explore alternative markup models.

3. It certainly is very important. Our model for interacting with the external world is pretty simple. For the most part You can use our first party modules (like `@http` for web requests) to pull the requisite data into Eve where you can transform it into whatever shape is appropriate. For cases where you need entirely new transport systems (like connecting Eve to USB devices), you can create a new module just like the first party ones and side load it in. Since the runtime is currently written in Typescript, that's the language of choice for these extensions. We may support others in the future.

4. For users unfamiliar with HTML and CSS, the best we can do is insulate them from it, as in #2. If it's a subject that personally interests you, I'd love to strike up a conversation on the mailing list about how we can improve the markup process [2].

Almost everyone who actually used the product (tech journalists) have said that they liked the touchbar. I've noticed the negative feedback loop happening on HN and some parts of reddit - it was overwhelmingly positive elsewhere - from Product Hunt to people in person.

I know why it's happening as well....a lot of us folks waited pretty long for an upgrade and what we got...it was not what we wanted/hoped for and are left stranded of sorts (do I continue and buy the new laptop? do I move to linux? do I get a windows device? - such questions were never an issue before....want a new device? get the latest macbook pro).
There are financial and regulatory reasons to structure it that way, even if you don't intend the bonus to vary much with firm or individual performance.

Financial first: deferring compensation from continuous throughout the year to a lump sum at the end is essentially getting your employees to lend you money. Depending on the implied terms of the loan (ie, how much extra you have to pay your employees in order to get them to agree to defer some of their compensation), it may be a better source of funding than issuing debt or equity. That's why banks and broker/dealers like the deferred bonus compensation model.

On the regulatory side, banks and broker/dealers are required to maintain a minimum amount of capital. Guaranteed bonuses would count as liabilities, reducing capital. Discretionary bonuses, however, don't have to be counted as a liability for regulatory capital purposes, so they don't reduce your regulatory capital. (They still count as liabilities under GAAP though.) That regulation is why they like to make them discretionary.

Disclaimer: regulatory capital definitely works like this for non-bank broker/dealers. Banks are subject to different rules, with which I am less familiar, but I would guess they work the same way with respect to discretionary compensation.

Might not even be that. At some point you need to cut out the output from going to the real exchange.

If you had an IF somewhere random in your code.. you will then JIT code that is wrongly optimized.

If you try to put some kind of network device to capture the traffic and respond with fake responses to make the code happy.. you are one bitflip away from sending bad stuff to prod.
Actually, the hardware guys already have it solved. We already know how to do bus arbitration, and cars are like little buses.

CANbus could work, and it's already used in the automotive world. It's nice because the higher-priority bus driver is not delayed. Unfortunately, the lower priority one gets run over. Might have to work on that.
They could use ddr4, cpu supports it
"I've worked in many fields with entities from local, county, state, and federal RFPs/RFIs/SOQs/etc and even if you're the best in the business and have proof it's not always easy to patch it together in a format desired in a timeline that's desired and call it done."

RFP's and RFI's are not the same thing, they are often thousands of pages of trying to meet hundreds of pages of random requirements.

What you are talking about sounds mostly like dealing with the contracting side of it, which is a very different world.

Have you also dealt with the "Response to regulatory agency concerns" part of it?

Because I have, and while yeah, with say, the SEC, it can be a trip, i wouldn't throw the NHTSA into that category.

I believe the House of Representatives brings articles of impeachment, not the Senate, and the House will likely hold its Republican majority.

The Senate is only required to actually convict. It's pretty much a disaster simply to be impeached at all. No conviction is really necessary to permanently damage someone politically.

I celebrate trying this. The last time that there was serious attempt at this was Smalltalk and it had a great impact on the industry. Itself a great balance of friendly instant feedback and great control. There is also Apple's Playgrounds now with Swift trying more or less on this.
Definitively the instant feedback is a key component in having the right introduction to computing. If we extend this idea we'll find that we need this in the debugger too. It works because is the best way to replace imagination and assumptions with perceptions.
Zcash is a currency, right?

Bitcoin, to which it is most similar, is the currency it tries to differentiate itself from, but it is not its main competitor, and it looks like it shares most of its flaws compared to its main competition, the dollar.

In terms of availability, the US government has facilities in place to produce more cash without breaking the economy, while there is a limit to how many Zcash coins can be produced. In fact, since people cannot transfer Zcash after their death, there is absolute certainty that Zcash has an expiration date.

In terms of volatility, Zcash shares Bitcoin's (and most traded commodities') flaw in that the value of assets held can fluctuate tremendously, making Zcash one of the riskiest currencies on the market. Even buying pounds is a safer investment. The dollar has, yet again, facilities in place to avoid huge swings in its value.

In terms of ease of use, Zcash requires complex maintenance, careful security practices, and computing power. The dollar has a whole banking industry in place, from paper money to debit cards to Apple and Android Pay. All of that makes storing and transacting painless, and not that expensive, all things considered.

In terms of energy consumption, well, yet again Bitcoin's flaws shine through.

Most people want to exchange money for goods and services lawfully, which means adhering to taxes and audits and ensuring that no money laundering takes place, so Zcash's anonymity is not a huge selling point.

Bitcoin had the benefit of being the first practical currency of its kind, which was enough to surpass its flaws. Do you believe Zcash will survive ten years?

White noise is defined as having equal energy per frequency; that is, a 10hz wide slice of spectrum centered on 100hz will have as much energy in it as a 10hz wide slice of spectrum centered on 1khz.

Pink noise has equal energy per octave; the slice of spectrum from 40hz-80hz has as much energy as the slice from 80hz-160hz and the slice from 1khz to 2khz.

Pink noise can be thought of as white noise with a very low-q (3dB per-octave, specifically) low-pass filter applied.
Eve? Sounds like a feminine hygiene product.
Objectively, yes.
That might depend on the city but in London I've found a black cab is normally a minimum 30% more than an uber. For longer journeys it can jump to double the price. Uber surge could equalise it.
Yup, and even if you don't care much about performance, you still have higher level languages which are good enough.

That's why I wonder where Eve fits in. Most people don't want to program. And this is NOT because they're stupid. It's because they have tons of other important things to worry about. Most people don't want to build their own TV set. They buy it because their expertise is in other things. Maybe they're a doctor. Maybe they're a fields medal winning mathematician. Heck, I'm a programmer and deal with all kinds of programming languages but don't want to know what's going on inside my TV set.
You know, minus the whole lack of a charge, trial, conviction, punishment, or even official reprimand.

Well a System with 16 CORE / 32 Hardware threads.. you run a program with 32 threads, you can legit run 32 things in parallel. Now not really because of OS scheduling and logs and other junk going on, but it could actually happen.

You take the same code and run it with 3000000 green threads... you are still capped out at 32 things running at the same time. Your system can kinda sorta pretend to be more concurrent, but the actually concurrency is the same.
Comey already threw his about-to-be boss under the bus by publicly denouncing her deemed-legal behavior. What does he have to lose at this point?
Perhaps, I think the key takeaway for Americans is the "Not Guilty" that Americans seemed to believe was the case in regards to these emails (It was really "Nobody would prosecute") may not be so.
