Out of curiosity, has anyone seen Google's self-driving cars testing down El Camino, University or Castro in PA and MV?

Each street presents uniquely complicated obstacles. In the case of El Camino, the police recently shut down the lights at an intersection due to Stanford game traffic. I'm curious if the self-driving cars know how to recognize hand signals from a legit police officer.

Over on University and Castro, there is a lot of foot traffic and sometimes people briefly double parking to drop off/pick up people. Some human drivers in these cases will (illegally?) cross the double yellow lines into the oncoming lane to pass the double-parked vehicles. Again, I wonder how the self-driving cars handle these scenarios.

In order to run the benchmark they had to modify the SQL in it. I much prefer it when a benchmarking exercise is sufficiently transparent for another party to come along an replicate the result.

That implies that they should provide details on all SQL changes that they made. Some of the phrasing was a little petty - BigQuery in “Legacy SQL” mode supports this but then joins don’t really work - but being clear about what they had to change seems totally appropriate to me.

Regarding predefined queries, is the idea to be like a View in SQL [1]? Notwithstanding the abstraction benefit that brings, doesn't that negate one of the claimed advantages of GraphQL vs. something like a REST API: that the client is in full control of assembling the query, and can request specific fields, receiving only as much or little information as it needs? Contrast that with a resource-based API, where the server has decided the schema and form that the responses will take ahead of time.

In either case, I can see the benefits of pre-defined queries. I have raised this [2] (along with others [3][4]) as a possible trade-off to improve cacheability; prior to us the prospect of 'prepared statements' (in SQL parlance) was raised as a performance and security benefit [5][6][7].

Here's the original study. http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a...

In that study 1 in 21 men reported being forced to penetrate someone, 4.8%. A further 1.4% of men reported being raped which is defined only as being penetrated, not being forced to penetrate. That's a stupid definition of rape. So it's really more like 6% of men have been raped, which puts the stats at women being about 2x more likely to be raped than men (only 11.5% of women experienced a completed penetration attempt).

Fear is an important thing and we do need to address it, but public policy should be based on factual risks, not irrational fear. Only 7% of rapists are strangers. That means those transients at the AirBnB are the less likely to rape a woman than basically anyone else they know.

This isn't always true even for bridges. Near where we live, the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge (longer than Golden Gate bridge) construction started in 1988. It took 10 years to build it, and during construction the Kobe earthquake hit and the bridge construction had to be adjusted because Kobe had moved.

It's strange from the other side too. With technology it's normal to be able to get updates, but for new tech to eventually come out that makes the old stuff obsolete. A clear sign that this is about to happen is... deep discounts on the existing product.

The threat that you can get sued makes you very cautious in your selection of your next job.

In one of my previous gigs, the language of the non-compete was so broad that it engulfed in scope the entire industry - being legal language it was borderline ambiguous, one of those things you could argue either way. Anyway, that 'argue either way' piece could encompass what's basically the biggest and highest-paying employing industry in IT here.

One guy I knew there had told me that, after he got an offer from a new employer, sent them the non-compete of this current place - and never heard from them again. It was for a mid-level manager role in a large corporation in a very cautious (in a CYA way) industry. It was even worse because both of us has understood from management that they'll probably not enforce it, unless one of the partners feels resentful and could send the lawyers your way.

It has a chilling effect that's totally beyond the scope of the usefulness of the employer demanding the non-compete, especially when you encompass a whole industry.

I think that the right approach is to legislate to make them illegal (like in California, right?), or enforce some compensatory aspect like in some countries as people in this thread mentioned (eg. I'd love to be paid 70% of my salary during the period of non-compete). The most likely scenario in favor of the employee right now I believe is the courts having the employer show that damage was committed in order for the contract to be valid. I'm pretty sure this employer got around that by tying the non-compete+non-solicitation to stock option grants!

The idea was rather intriguing, however I haven't ran into perf issues in clients yet where this would be beneficial.It does sort of negate one of the benefits of the spec, which is human-readable static queries.

It did very much feel like prepared statements. There was even talk of some implementations of predefined queries as a mechanism to whitelist queries, which was interesting.

I hope we'll see more about this as projects grow and eventually need it.

I understand what your purpose was, but the blog entry would have felt more balanced if you'd said something like:

It's true that for a small subset of queries, BigQuery out-performed RedShift. If your workload is similar to those queries then BigQuery may be a good match for you, but our testing shows that for general purpose datawarehousing / analytics workloads, RedShift is the better performing database and would be more suitable for most customers.

I agree that this particular claim that Obama knew everything because Cheryl Mills is scared is a little hyperbolic. She is actually scared because of the very real and substantiated facts that Hillary broke several laws:

1) Mishandling Classified Information - Executive Order 13526

2) Violation of the 2009 Federal Records Act

For the past 2 years they also announced new stuff at the October/November boundary. 2 years ago, it was the autopilot hardware with the camera in the front and radar. Cars before Nov 2014 didn't have the camera in the front (some of the them had the front radar). It was obvious to anyone paying attention that this is the time frame when they announce updates.

>"The "NYC" urban area encompasses NYC + Westchester + Long Island + Newark + parts of CT."

Not it does not, that is the "Tri-State" area. I have never heard anyone use the term "NYC Urban area." What you are saying makes it sounds as if those places are suburbs of New York City and none of them are. New York City is 5 boroughs.

Also I think you are confusing Manhattan and New York City. Half the daily population of Manhattan are commuters:

> no notice from BMW, the sales guy, or the press

Tesla has done this for a long while. Newer larger battery pack options, newer interior and tech package options, and completely new performance and configuration options (insane, dual motor, and autopilot 1.0 all hit at once)

While there wern't announcements ahead of time what was coming, there were often advance notice that there was an announcement coming, and even when there wasn't - there was a big period of quiet from Tesla leading up to it.

For Autopilot 2.0 everyone knew it was coming for at least the Model 3 launch (Elon said as much at the Model 3 announcement), they just brought it forward.

It is really no different to what happens to customers for a bunch of other tech companies. Canon sure doesn't tell anyone when their new models are coming out - you know it'll probably happen at a major trade show, but only if you're someone that follows that kind of thing. The average customer at their camera shop isn't going to have the sales guy say "Hey, wait a week and we'll have the next version available."
Most of these symptoms are also consistent with an employee who has problems in their life outside of work: clinical depression, ongoing divorce proceedings, caring for a chronically ill parent or child, etc.

I can see why that would be irritating. But they did it the last two years - announce updates in Oct/Nov. And they will do it again next year. The difference from regular cars is there's not such a long lead time between announcement and delivery, it just kind of hits the market right after. They are going for a cell phone kind of experience, where it's continually improving.

The article basically makes 2 points, which are:

1. They are invisible in the source code

2. They create too many possible exit points

As a java developer I really don't find 1 to be a problem at all. Lots of people complain about checked exceptions, but they solve this problem. It's very easy to see which functions throw and which don't. I'd even argue that the invisibility that is there is a positive -- I usually don't want to think about the error case, but can easily trace the exceptional path if I do. I find that often functions need to go back up the stack to handle issues, in which case the exception control flow is exactly what I want.

Runtime exceptions, on the other hand, are invisible and can be an issue, but things like running out of memory, or overflowing the stack, well, I really don't want to have to write:
public int add(int x, int y) throws OutOfMemoryException, StackOverflowException, ...

For 2, I find that they just create 1 extra exit point, which is back up the stack/to the catch handler. You could certainly abuse them to cause problems, but I personally don't find this to be an issue in practice.

I think that everyone agrees that unstructured flow of control is problematic, but checked exceptions do have structure, even if it's a bit of a loose one.
How to be a shitty customer
There's no such thing as "invalid HTML". For that reason, parsing HTML is a huge pain.

Actually, as someone who has written an HTML parser by following the HTML5 spec, I see it as the opposite: because every string of bytes essentially corresponds to some HTML tree, there are no special "invalid" edge cases to consider and everything is fully specified. That's the best situation, since bugs tend to arise at the edge cases, the boundaries between valid and invalid. But the HTML5 spec has no edge cases: the effect of any byte in any state of the parser has been specified.

HTML5 has a whole section which standardizes how to parse bad HTML.

In some ways, I think it's a bit of a moot point what is "bad HTML" if all parsers that conform to the standard parse it in the same way. The spec does mention certain points as being parse errors, but are they really errors after all, if the behaviour is fully specified (and isn't "give up")? In fact, disregarding whether some states are parse errors actually simplifies the spec greatly because many of the states can be coalesced, and for something like a browser or crawler, it's completely irrelevant whether any of these "parse errors" actually occurred during the parsing. One example that comes to mind is spaces after quoted attribute values; a="b" c="d" and a="b"c="d" are parsed identically, except the latter is supposedly a parse error. Yet both are unambiguous.
Dentists can compensate for the loss by getting customers who need higher valued services like cavity filling or crowns. If your dentist tells you that you need fillings during the exam you are unlikely to refuse and shop around for other dentists.

> So in how I see it, the truth of something is orthogonal to its degree of emotional resonance.

I too agree that the universe objectively exists separately from our minds. However, there are many facts about the world, most of them banal. The ones that are useful to us or make the world feel more understandable regardless of their ultimate truth are the ones that resonate. In particular, art often expresses emotional truths about ourselves and our relationships to others. "We're all doomed." "We're all saved." These have little objective reality but can powerfully affect us at the right moment.
