We aren't planning to support multiple nodes anytime soon. The resource overhead would probably be too much for most users just looking to try out kubernetes.

You can take a look at the k8s docs about running locally. There's a script that brings up a cluster with a configurable amount of nodes on linux.

Okay, that's not crazy. I have a few responses:

1. I think that you're probably underselling "stall all economic growth for centuries." It's not that different from "kill all humans" (for example: it would be hugely globally destabilizing. The odds of nuclear war would go way, way, way up. For another example: it might well either restart exponential population growth like we had in the late 19th/early 20th centuries, or else cause a demographic death spiral).

2. It's pretty hard to believe that climate change is very likely to go right up to the edge of "stall economic growth" and not have a very significant chance of tipping over to worse scenarios. You already implicitly believe in some positive feedback cycles here.

3. It is actually pretty hard to imagine that specifically aerosolizing sulfur dioxide is going to cause really catastrophic consequences that global warming won't already. As other commenters have pointed out, volcanic eruptions cause massive sulfur releases already. If you believe that the environment is so, so, so sensitive to any changes that any change you might make is likely to cause spiraling destruction of the ecosystem, well, then doesn't it seem likely that our many existing changes have already sent us past the point of no return? Like, if we're making 100 changes on the scale of sulfur release (which we are), and one change much, much, much larger than sulfur release (carbon release), it seems a little unlikely that sulfur release is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

There are some possibilities for nuance here! You can reasonably believe that, for example, ocean acidification is the bigger problem than temperature change per se, and sulfur release doesn't solve ocean acidification, and indeed may slightly (very, very, very slightly) contribute to it and more importantly may encourage people to regard carbon release as unproblematic and thus encourage more carbon use and thus more ocean acidification.

But I don't usually see people making targeted critiques like the one above, the kind of critique that only applies to one specific proposal. It's usually just sort of a general reaction to anything other than reduction targets. And, honestly, reduction targets aren't going to work, guys. Not alone.

No, it was early designs (intentionally?) fucked up that deviated strongly from AMD's reference design.

Rumors went around that Intel paid manufacturers to do it intentionally, but nothing was ever proven. However, given how Intel has had similar behavior in the past, it isn't an unreasonable rumor either...
Forget that they are in?! For my particular shape of ears their hard shell design does not work at all. Every time I have to wear apple earbuds because I cannot find my day to day earbuds, I want to rip them out immediately, and my ears hurt after few minutes of using them.

Unless the came up with better design there is no way I am forgetting I am wearing apple earbuds.
A lot of the time the verbosity isn't so much to sound more clever as it is to be very specific and explicit about what the author is trying to convey. There's a lot of changing assumed knowledge and jargon in various fields and our use of language changes over time. The publication writing style is an attempt to factor that out.

If they truly believed, then they wouldn't bother with a license. Someone who truly doesn't care about copyright wouldn't consider they need a license. The irony would be even more should someone break this license and these believers take them to court. I'm reminded of when the Church of Scientology hadn't bothered with registering the copyrights for many texts, only to rush to court once they leaked. They lost, mostly because they were true believers unable to admit the texts were not divinely inspired.

MIT does have stipulations:

> and then refer to a remote human to resolve the issue

Successful remote control is a whole different project, very different from self-driving. In order to give the remote pilot enough situational awareness, you need plenty of streamed imagery (recreated or recorded). And you need a feedback loop with a very small latency. Not saying it couldn't be done, but it won't happen "organically" by cars becoming self-driving.
Honestly I'd like to see VR headsets be treated more like PC monitors or video cards than like game consoles. A display with some tracking sensors should have to come with a walled garden. I feel this would encourage a lot more VR game development as well as a lot faster release cycle on new hardware, as well as a better range of hardware options, just like how you can buy a cheapo monitor or video card and live with lower resolution/framerates, or you can splurge a couple grand and get a really nice one. Games don't really care which end of that spectrum you go, they have settings to accommodate various resolutions and graphical horsepower.

"The biggest drawback to the DK2 was its low display resolution"

I disagree. The biggest drawback of the DK2 and every other VR headset on the market is that the headset itself is big, bulky, and uncomfortable.

VR manufacturers really need to get the headsets down to around the size and comfort of regular glasses to prevent them from being tossed in the closet with the rollerblades and other novely items which are too annoying to use on a regular basis.

Once the novelty wears off, people will stop using it if it's not comfortable and convenient.

Yes, I understand that DoE and the national labs aren't really part of the surveillance state.

The whole confidential/secret/top secret thing, with compartments pretty much started with Manhattan Project as I understand it. That was in the 1940s, so small changes piling up over time led us to a surveillance state. Each change was justifiable, due to things like exposures of classified info, spying, 9/11, etc, and welcomed due to using classification and surveillance to fix the problems but also to cover up a multitude of sins, from budget overruns to dopey, failed designs to outright fraud. That is, once you've got a thing that you're protecting, then the surveillance state follows, complete with spy services. If semi-appropriate agencies existed before (FBI, OSS, Naval Intelligence) they get re-purposed as surveillance agencies, (OSS -> CIA) and new ones get created (NSA, DIA, NGSIA).

It looks to me like there's a sort of inescapable logic, or emergent behavior that starts with protecting the Manhattan Project, and grows incrementally until you've got a surveillance state.
> I'm unsure what to do next.

I'm sorry if I've missed something, but isn't the status quo a reasonable option?

Other than that, see what other problems your current customers are having that you could help with. Basically you do not want to leap into a completely new arena and start from zero again (some people can pull this off, most don't). Your Delphi to C# thing appears to be a good example of the sort of transitions you can make.

Alternatively, do personal projects on things related to your hobbies or stuff like that. It's a great of motivating yourself and learning new stuff. Often enough, you will find that there is actually a market for what you built.

Also, find dev meetups in your area (assuming you live close to or in a reasonably-sized city) and go there. You tend to get free pizza and there are always people with interesting / intriguing ideas. Sometimes the people themselves are interesting / intriguing.

You definitely don't want to read any decent history books like The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich at the moment if you want to sleep well. I would particularly avoid focusing my attentions on the fiscal and legal history of the Weimar Republic, whose constitution nominally obtained until 1945 though it had been a dead letter for 12 years by then.
The comparison isn't between cars with assistive/autonomous systems and those without. It's between cars without those systems some decades hence and those without such systems today. Why should the existence of such systems make driving by humans more expensive than it is today?
TL/DR:

- "We specifically consider the case of...a stacked deep autoencoder (AE), which is a type of neural network designed to encode a set of data samples such that they can be decoded to produce data sample reconstructions with minimal error

- "The first step of the NDL algorithm occurs when a set of new data points fail to be appropriately reconstructed by the trained network...When a data sample’s RE is too high, the assumption is that the AE level under examination does not contain a rich enough set of features to accurately reconstruct the sample.

- "The second step of the NDL algorithm is adding and training a new node, which occurs when a critical number of input data samples (outliers) fail to achieve adequate representation at some level of the network.

- "The final step of the NDL algorithm is intended to stabilize the network’s previous representations in the presence of newly added nodes. It involves training all the nodes in a level with both new data and replayed samples from previously seen classes on which the network has been trained.

I'm not sure what to think about Signal. It's got some great supporters like the EFF, but on Android, it requires about a dozen permissions, most unnecessary. It also requires your phone number to register, and uses a Twilio API at registration. WTF? What are peoples' thoughts on Silent Phone? It's written by the creator of PGP, only requests permissions when it needs them (at least on Android 6 and up), and stores encryption keys locally.
It's not as if human driven cars never get stuck in an intersection. I imagine the solution will be much the same: it will be moved manually if possible or towed if not. If a person is deliberately fucking with traffic by deliberately messing with an autonomous car, they'll also probably be fined.

I mean the other day on my daily commute there were two cars right in the middle of a freeway, one attempting to jump start the other and they were at it for a while. This is not shockingly new ground.
Hey Biztos, why do you think this would be a big market? What would be some potential customers of such a turnkey tracking system? I imagine big players like DHL/FedEx would not be target customers due to their high traffic and already existing internal package tracking systems

I cut my teeth on Lotus Notes straight out of school. It was way ahead of its time and anyone who knows about Ray Ozzie knows that dude puts out good kit. Bill Gates didn't make him CTO for nothing.

Anyone who reduced it to a email client didn't understand where its true powered lied which was workflow and document / record management. If you knew how to combine the ACL with forms, views, and agents you could build some pretty amazing apps really quickly. Unfortunately it was always known as a email client which was actually just a Lotus Notes App.

I think seeing more automakers doing remote updates is pretty scary actually, at least if they can't do it right. Which automaker had it so you could hack the infotainment system to stop a car?[1]

Tesla at least has a very good separate systems for the console and deeper underyling controls. Tesla's were designed properly from the beginning, and perhaps that's just it, if you have to add something like autosteering on after the fact it can't be as secure? Perhaps other automakers will get better with time though... From a wired article,

> Rogers likens [Tesla's system] to the way avionics and Wi-Fi systems are configured on commercial airliners. The Wi-Fi is able to get GPS location data about the plane from the avionics system, but a gateway implements tight controls over what data can pass between the two. In the same way, Rogers says, “we know [the Tesla gateway] stops the obvious stuff. But I haven’t tested it to see what happens if I hack the gateway. If we were able to hack the gateway, then we could control any part of the car just like the Jeep hackers.”

The title "Angular 4 will be the next version of Angular" had me ready to believe they were announcing another breaking change as big as Angular 1 -> Angular 2. (The blog post's title is "Ok... let me explain: it's going to be Angular 4").

It's much more reasonable though: they're committed to using Semver, so even a minor breaking change (like upgrading Typescript) will bump the version number. So they're expecting the version numbers not to matter as much anymore, similar to how you no longer think of the version number of Chrome or Firefox too often.

And so they are asking the community to just call it "Angular", not "Angular 1", "Angular 2" and "Angular 4". I do feel that this will make it harder to search for information, documentation or libraries specifically related Angular 1 though, if Angular 2+ is now just going to be called "Angular", much like all the Angular 1 specific stuff.
Right. Just like we paint roads to tell humans (and camera driven cars) where the lanes are, we should have digital markings to tell self driving cars where the road is directly.

The remote takeover seems entirely separate, and both promising and terrifying.
Tech employees vow not to help Trump surveil Muslims, deport immigrants
That may well be the case, but it does not follow that a 98%-complete self-driving car would actually be a viable product. It's not good enough that the robot can beat a human in a head-to-head skills test; the robot also has to be as versatile as a human, across an unpredictably wide range of circumstances. That's hard.
As an AirBnB user, that's completely opposite to my experience - 9/10 have been ordinary people doing it on the side, not pros. I suspect the picture is different if you raise the "price" slider (I go for the cheapest third, usually), but I still see plenty of supply.

Is that crowding out supported by any data?

Interesting. So Opendoor removes that risk for a premium on fees it seems.

What is the path to reducing the fees overall? 6% seems a bit much in this day and age, particularly in the Bay Area where an agent sets up a few signs, posts the listing, does an open house for one weekend and that's it. And agents (both sides) are incentivized to close more deals, not get the best prices. Ultimately homeowners/buyers get screwed.

Yes, there is, you can get dirt-cheap NFC stickers that you can put places and use Tasker to detect them. I mainly fire HTTP requests when a sticker is detected, but I use them for other things as well:

* I stuck one with my wifi password on the back side of a painting, so I just tell visitors who want wifi "touch your phone to the boat on the painting" and they get a prompt to connect to the wifi.

* I put one in the car to set all volume to max and enable bluetooth and launch the music app.

* I put one on the nightstand to trigger night mode in the house and silence alerts and stuff.

You can do various things like that, it's pretty useful.

Aging as a disease?
To add on to this - they "specifically consider the case
of adding new nodes to pre-train a stacked deep autoencoder", by basically keeping track of when certain layers cannot reproduce their input and then adding more nodes+retraining with both new (not reproduced) and old data. It is quite intuitive, basically the most naive and obvious first attempt at the problem (not meant in a condescending way, just want to point out it's not that generalizable and is pretty ad-hoc).
