I also feel like if you know where every car on the road is, you can also optimize the traffic light timing.

There is no reason to sit at a red light at 2:00 in the morning when there are no other vehicles, pedestrians or bicycles on the road. But the law currently requires it.
The same reason GM lets car rental agencies "profit off" its development of new features: power seats, Onstar, media center, voice nav, better steering, heated seats, etc.

Which is to say, it doesn't, if you measure it right: they charge as much as they can for a car with features x/y/z; once you impute out who is making how much profit from what, you find that GM is profiting from the Onstar, and Avis is profiting from the rental service (matching cars with temporary-use customers). To the extent that Avis can rent cars at a premium with Onstar, that profit is mostly eaten by the extra price.

At no point does GM think, "Merely sell our cars to rental agencies? There go the Onstar profits!"

In just the same way, if Tesla sold cars to Uber/Lyft, they would still be the ones profiting from the SDC premium.

As for Tesla owners participating in the rideshare network: they can probably get a lot steadier renting of the car's off-hours if they have access to an established platform rather than waiting for riders to add another app that only gets rides from the few spare Teslas in the area.
Pick a small subdomain of your work, and use it exclusively there. Perhaps that's editing config files, or editing when sshed into a remote machine. Maybe for a language you only use in one-off scripts. Something you do at least weekly, but not more than an hour a day. That way you can get regular practice, without a huge productivity drop from going all-in.

Another suggestion: Start vanilla, and slowly add in new commands/customizations slowly. For vim, for the first day, just stay in Insert mode, and move around with the arrow keys. The rest of the week, just add in Command mode, and use hjkl to move around. Next week, add in something else.
It doesn't matter if it is text or not, and if it is structured or not.

You missed the whole point about signal vs noise.

When I'm ALWAYS presented with a blob of something to decipher, it requires a context switch.

Nothing IS something, and it's a structured something.
I wonder what the worst case scenario is here. I'll put Muni-level syringes and human waste as the worst. But (1) fare evasion wouldn't be a problem and (2) the 1% of worst offenders who account for 99% of the disgustingness can be readily blacklisted.

I suspect the typical case will be a drunk person throwing up in it on the way home. Hopefully they self-report; if they don't, it comes to the next rider to report it, who does and gets a generous reimbursement, charged to the credit card of the last rider.

I understand the trope, but comments like this tend to push discussion in a shallow direction. Not that 'shallow' is a direction.

It would be better if you wrote substantively about some of your experiences with Lotus Notes.
This seems more likely.

So far sharing economy companies don't want to vertically integrate their whole service stack down to physical goods. It requires capital raising, and is low margin compared to the value that they provide by scaling their main services. Maybe they will once they've achieved full market penetration and are struggling to increase their profit, but that's decades away IMO.
An app that books the cheapest ride for you out of all the ride-sharing companies. Like Kayak but for ride-sharing. This comment is the same as a patent, right?
Is this useful for individuals also? I would really like to know the optimal time to sell my car. Or is this more like chart analysis which only works as long as the people having access to that information is limited?
That's the benefit of having 100,000 cars with all the sensors but humans performing all of the edge cases. Tesla can take data from all the cases where there was a deviation between what the car calculated it should do and what the driver did.

I don't think hand coded features are necessary. No one hand codes humans to drive.
You know it's funny though because I stopped using Uber with the most recent update that completely screwed up the UX. There's a billion variables that will go into which companies succeed and fail.

I could go out today and borrow ~$100K to purchase vehicles and put them on Uber, but I'm not; I'm waiting for Tesla network to leverage up.
First of all, Skype is Microsoft. Second, they're well known to collaborate already. If NSA wanted a Skype feed, they could have it server or client side.

I live almost in the backyard of their facility in Silicon Valley. No issues here either, the vehicles are very well behaved. Of course, how much is that an indicator of their progress, I don't know.
I dont see how that is the case. User is currently burning through more eyes to maintain their market position and that is without a fleet of vehicles to operate and maintain. Moving to autonomous vehicles may cut their staff costs\remove drivers from their costs column, but this cost is moved to vehicles and in many jurisdictions at least for the medium term a human driver will be required even if it is just paid to sit there.
"Driving on interstate freeways is orders of magnitude easier than driving in a city with pedestrians, bikes, cars parked in the road, etc."

Yes, it's easy and safe if competing traffic is only fellow truckers or other level-headed, observant drivers.

It's when you mix in the distracted, newbie, or skittish drivers that things get difficult. Long-haul truckers (the majority, the good ones) develop a sixth sense about such risks; I can't imagine thoroughly coding a software replacement.
Meetings and printing/scanning are two areas where I lose so much time doing nothing. Now only if someone made printing scanning far more simpler and glitch free.

They need to stop this bs right now. The fear that Donald Trump is some kind of hatemongering, right wing demagogue is all projection.

On the other hand, if these climate scientists are cooking the books, watch out, because the hammer of accountability might be swinging.
That's almost a plus: People in the know can feel smug pronouncing it the correct way, while the majority of people pronounce it the obvious way. See: Wikipedia's pronunciation.

Media scare tactics around violence focus on urban areas, but the counties with high and increasing violence are the rural ones, especially the severely depopulated and very isolated counties. Of course the flip side is, nobody lives there. The ratios are high but the absolute numbers are not.

"Notes is a document creation, editing, and storage system."

Strangely, at the last (and only, thankfully) place where I had to use Notes, it was not used for that purpose. Instead, it was used as an e-mail system and an inventory management tool.
I can try and guide you around good Russian music, drop me an email to alamar at my.com or friend ilyak on last.fm - that's me. Note that I'm a fan of all things DIY, production value doesn't mean as much to me as actual content.

Regarding movies, you can always go for a huge layer of Soviet films. They take some using to I suppose, but then the supply is endless.
- Soft skills are as important or even more than than technical ones;

- Always judge the business value of any change request

- Be weary of any technology that promises to revolutionise the world of programming

- Get to know the whole stack, even if only in abstract terms, don't focus on silos

- Care about the business side, how the technology meets the needs of the actual users and way of doing business

- Never ever sacrifice private life for the employer. They won't think a second about your sacrifices when showing the door to teams
- Not you personally. I have experience with HN comments. Just covering my bases.

- No, it's not the case here. Unless you can prove it. There's no evidence it was done intentionally.
That's a little concerning. Especially to the lee of the lake, snow storms can pop up out of nowhere and can last for days at a time. Usually, with care, a human driver can traverse to the nearest shelter to weather the storm. But if the car just stops out of the middle of nowhere, with limited energy to keep the cabin warm in the harsh cold, that seems like a recipe for disaster.
IG has copied a ton of Snap features outright, and this is Snap firing back at Facebook. They're essentially the same thing, but Snapchat seems to be dying.

They tie into life because they let people announce things, show what their up to, and occasionally be exhibitionist. It's like Facebook, without all of the political warfare.

Otto, Freightliner, and others are working on this.

Freightliner recently did a PR stunt where a self driving truck delivered a load of beer: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3134879/car-tech/self-d...

We'll see commercial self driving trucks before we see consumer self driving cars. Self driving trucks will first connect depots outside of cities, with humans solving the local driving problem, but eventually, they'll just completely drive themselves.

The accuracy of this statement is as depressing as it is apt.
In this case parent is referring to the phoneme [shā] which map to the characters 殺，沙，and 鯊. (using traditional) and mean "kill", "sand", and "shark" respectively.

Note that the last one, 鯊 is composed of two components 沙 and 魚.

So the top component is the phonetic hint and the bottom is semantic, as 魚 means "fish". Many characters for types of "fish" (I use "fish" loosely as things like whales 鯨魚 are considered fish) use the fish radical, as the characters are called when used as a component of a character.

鯉魚 carp the 里 is phonetic
鮑魚 abalone 包 is phonetic

Of course, this is just a small sampling and there are plenty of things that are inconsistent. I typically just use it as a mnemonic.

And to the point of tones, I leave 傻 [sha3], which means stupid.

I have a full 200 gig icloud drive filled with photos and when I got my 2016 macbook earlier this year it took a couple weeks for it to finally finish processing everything. Here I thought the point of having all the images in the cloud was so the devices didn't have to process all the images every time you re-install/get a new device. Is it really too much to ask for photos to simply pull images only on demand and not try to download as much as it can if there's space available?

This laptop is supposed to have an "all day battery" but in reality I only get 5-6 hours of fairly lightweight usage.

I totally agree that those are all valid concerns.However, I am confident we will get those things figured out. Maybe the congestion won't be that bad because autonmous driving services might encourage ride sharing. I for one already sometimes use Lyft Ride for longer trips. Maybe we can increase incentives for that? Communities could create a fee for single passenger rides. In a way car pool lanes are similar to that and already might accomplish something like that. On the less punitive side I can see something like convoys decrease fuel consumption. My university in Paderborn, Germany was working on something like that for self driving trains over ten years ago. Of course it's much harder with cars, but we also have come a long way.
I see it as a much needed breath of fresh air, haha.

Ellsberg's view of Snowden is Gladwell's biggest omission. It's hard to believe that Gladwell researched Ellsberg without coming across this or other similar statements. I therefore assume Gladwell omitted this view on purpose, because it messes with the noble, Harvard grad leaking based on Game Theory, versus the CC dropout lamer hacker doxxing the NSA.

Fully autonomous fleets of cars will push societal changes we can't yet predict. Right now everyone shows up to work at about the same time. Is that a fixed position society will always uphold? I don't know, there's a lot of things I don't know. The only thing I can predict is that in the same way the personal automobile upended the social structures of the day, autonomous vehicles will likely do something similar.
wouldn't shutting down research projects cause large losses of jobs, and further, cause downstream effects on the suppliers (DOE has a multibillion dollar budget, there are many companies that provide expensive toys to DOE, etc etc)? That seems to go against Trump's message about jobs...
I started by just doing more, like parking further out to get a few more steps of walking in. And track your progress somehow. This is critical if you are going to ramp up from being completely out of shape. *

* I was bedridden for 3.5 months. This was followed by getting out of breath if I walked to my kitchen or stood too long. I imagine you are in better shape than that. I now walk 2+ hours a day.

Margin is margin. Also, they are doing a funky custom battery form factor that probably drives the cost up a bit, even at their scale.
I really find Corporate Speak annoying as hell. How could anyone read this and take it seriously? ..."Here at Dropbox.. We earn your trust...". The whole "Here at $X" is the most annoying part.
It seems that could be easily solved with regulation. The self-driving cars could even automatically send a video of incidents to the police.
I used to work within the field of DOT technology (not for the DOT itself). I forget the exact project name, but this has been in the works since around 2008 and has gone through several revisions (in a relatively closed, "secret" committee sort of process).

Their main goal is to have infrastructure actually coordinate traffic (alluded to the Vehicle-to-Infrastructure proposal). This will allow the DOT to fine tune traffic controls to reduce general commute times while providing nifty features such as allowing emergency vehicles to pass seamlessly through intersections, as well as make evacuation orders go smoothly (directing certain groups of traffic to alternate routes, etc). Of course who could forget the draconian hypothetical of allowing the government to stop your car randomly (of which they already can through more violent means). The vehicle to vehicle communication proposal is just a step towards the vehicle to infrastructure end goal, as you need cars to be able to pass along messages to each other in a kind of "mesh" network fashion.

Judging by the looks of things, they haven't really come that far. It still seems very abstract. Which is kind of disappointing, because from a tech perspective I'd like to see how things end up working out. It's been "forthcoming" for years. Of course the auto-industry wants nothing to do with it and last I heard they were doing everything they can to stop this from moving forward.
For Calculus, there's an OSU/Coursera class:

https://mooculus.osu.edu/

I've been going through that for a refresher and it's been pretty useful. Not sure I'd rely on it alone for learning calculus, but luckily there are some other really good resources, like:

1. MathBFF's Youtube videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/mathbff

2. Professor Leonard's Youtube videos:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoHhuummRZaIVX7bD4t2czg

3. Gilbert Strang's Calculus Lectures:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcWsDwg1XwM&list=PLFW_V3qDH5...

Also, Khan Academy.

For Statistics, I've been going through the Duke/Coursera "Statistics with R" sequence, as well as the Johns Hopkins Data Science specialization.

For math higher than Calculus... well, I haven't really gotten there yet, but Gilbert Strang also has a series of lectures on Linear Algebra on Youtube which are very well regarded, from what I've seen. Also, there are Youtube videos on pretty much everything you can think of, all the way up to Abstract Algebra and what-not. How good they are, I cannot say.

For "pre calculus" review stuff, Khan Academy is pretty good.

Some other good resources are the Math Stack Exchange site (note: math.stackexchange.com, not mathoverflow). Homework'ish questions seem to be allowed, although with the usual caveat that you're kinda expected to have at least made some effort before asking.

There are also several sub-reddits dedicated to learning math. I forget what they all are, but look for stuff like

/r/cheatatmath
/r/learnmath
/r/mathhomework
etc.

I think if you just hit /r/math there's a list of such sites in the sidebar.

For Physics, there are more stackexchange sites, and there are the forums at https://www.physicsforums.com/

Throwaway. They spun off to let it die in peace without causing a PR disaster for Google or other companies under Alphabet umbrella. Now watch them wind it down and let someone else take over this lost cause in the next 2-3 years. The reason why this is a lost cause is because the remaining 10% of the problem (inclement weather, bad pavement, unpredictable behavior of non-autonomous vehicles, etc) is exponentially hard and no one has a foggiest clue how to tackle it. Google rode the PR train for as long as it could, but now it's time to get off.
>First off not sure what you are referring to by "Maxwell 1" and "Maxwell 2"; there's GM204, GM206, GM200 all very similar, and GM20B the slight outlier.

GM1XX is Maxwell 1st Gen, which was the 750ti, the Gefore 800M series, Tegra K1 and Tesla M10, GM2XX is Maxwell 2nd Gen.

>Not really. In Kepler they experimented with the SP/DP balance a bit (1/3), in Maxwell they were pushed by 28 nm, in Pascal they returned to the DP = 1/2 SP throughput

Maxwell wasn't 1/3 it was 1/32 (no this isn't a typo) ;) this is the same (or even worse IIRC it's 1/64 now) with Pascal with the exclusion of the GP100, the Pascal Titan and Quadro cards are 1/32 or 1/64.

As I said NVIDIA keeps this for very limited silicon if you buy a desktop/workstation GPU even with Pascal don't expect DP/HP performance.

As for the big players, yes they are trend setters but they are also can easily turn into "blackmailers" if you have a single client which buys half your GPU's they dictate the terms, companies went under because of contracts that take too much of their delivery pipeline.
We did a self-driving vehicle for the 2005 Grand Challenge as microservices. This was under QNX, a hard real time OS with really good interprocess communication. Same-CPU overhead for interprocess calls is very low, and calls over the network are also efficient.

That architecture was mostly because there were lots of things running asynchronously that were not in sync. The sensors (LIDAR, Radar, GPS, INS, wheels, etc.) all had their own clocks and schedule. An interprocess call was either "do this on your next cycle" or "what was the situation at time T"? A request for "where were we at time T" returned an interpolated value from GPS/INS fusion; T had to be at least 50ms or so in the past, so there were fixes available before and after the requested time. This allowed asking for position info more frequently than some sensors could respond. On each LIDAR line scan, the vehicle position was interpolated and used for map updating. Planning always ran a little in the past, so we could use interpolated rather than extrapolated data.

This sort of thing is common in robotics, but may not be that helpful in web services.
