And how many of those miles are in conditions like:

* that road with the one-foot deep pothole (it's more like a sinkhole at that point, though) in the middle of a lane

* the perpetual construction zone where there are five layers of lane markers, only one of which is the actual layer of lane markers

* the 10% grade two-lane winding road in the dark with 2 inches of snow on the road and more coming

* open highway with a constant 30mph crosswind

* dense fog with less than 100m visibility

* torrential downpour with so little visibility you can't even see the lane markings on the road right in front of you

Those are all conditions I've driven in, and I can think of several other horrible driving conditions that I haven't yet had the (mis)fortune to drive in. Just because you can drive well in good conditions doesn't mean you can drive well when things get tougher--as the driving records of many human beings can well attest.

That's standard Apple marketing language. It also drives tech people batty. This is also why Apple is successful.
It's obvious that truck driving will be the automated sooner or later. But it will be a tough fight. How will the industry react/adapt?

Take a look at the distribution of current jobs [1]. What perspective can you give people working as a truck driver right now?

I believe, america first has to find an answer to this question before there will be automated trucks.

We're learning more and more that microbes are essentially radically optimized factories. They've evolved for millions of years to be really good at producing stuff. Typically, though, it's not stuff we want. But if we edit the genetic code of the microbes we can direct that productive capacity towards making things we do want.

That's exactly what Lygos is doing for industrial chemicals. And the beauty of the microbes Lygos is engineering -- specifically yeast -- is that they feed on sugar & water. Feed them sugar & water, and out pops specialty chemicals. This allows Lygos's microbial factories to produce industrial chemicals with sustainable inputs and with no toxic outputs.

I'm incredibly excited by the potential for synthetic biology to reinvent the way we produce all sorts of things we like to eat, wear, or make things with in the decade ahead.
No I just wrote whatever characters we were studying in class that week over and over while I watched streams of Chinese TV. I watched with Chinese subtitles but I didn't actually try to understand every word. It was mostly about framing my mindset towards a Chinese style of speaking and writing.

I spent maybe an hour or two a day, a few days a week. That was my most productive study method for calligraphy and pronunciation. Grammar and other subjects had to be studied in separate ways, but keeping the Chinese tv stream on helped either way.
I tried logging in but the java app is giving me the middle finger. I seem to recall turning it on, but will have to set that all back up again tonight. I couldn't logon to the AP via their web app but ssh worked.

So I just reset it to factory defaults and I'll try again tonight after setting it back up.

Amazon's biggest quarterly loss ever was about $437 million. That's roughly Uber's average quarterly loss, and Amazon did it on quarterly revenues of $20B, while Uber's revenues are optimistically $5B.
Presumably, in a shared autonomous vehicle, the only thing you'd be responsible would be the interior. I would think this would be fairly easy to monitor on a user to user basis.
Facebook and Google are also everywhere except China.
That just proves pricing is even more relevant.

Anyone could spin up an app that let's people lease out their self-driving cars. The existing ride-sharing consumers are not loyal to the apps.
Sorry you are going through this and I hope you find a permanent resolution to your issue. I'm glad you are able to find a substance that works for you, and it bothers me that pain killers have become so politicized and are now much more difficult for genuinely needy patients to get them.

Would knee replacement resolve the issue? Do you think you will undergo more surgery? Have you sought out any national experts on your particular injury?
Out of genuine curiosity, why? What happened to using "em" or "rem"?

My company is using DiplayTen for our meeting rooms. They are partnered with Zoom Communications and they are able to seamlessly integrate both PC and Mac users as they join into Zoom Rooms.

Also meeting room participants can effortlessly participate using a PC/Mac dongle to share content to the boards wirelessly.

The Hub may be a shiny new Cadillac but like them, require constant professional maintenance. The DisplayTen board we use was out of the box and set up in a matter of minutes with updates done in a simple and timely matter.
I sent this same message to SLACK directly and got back an interesting reply.

"Very interesting indeed! While I don't have specific numbers to provide to you, I can say with confidence that the way your team is using Slack is how we intended it to be used. Because one of the benefits of Slack involves being able to access the team's conversations, we recommend keeping conversations in public channels as much as possible."

Still really curious what some of you in the wild are seeing. Thx!

Exotic quasicrystal discovered in meteorite
I'd love to see what the average household pays for vehicles. If you don't think that money is high on the motivational list for people, you need only look at what happened the last time gas prices were $1/gallon higher than today. In any case, I doubt car ownership will "fall off a cliff". It will be a gradual change. Many people won't trust the software, there will be a few incidents that get tons of media coverage to scare people off (no doubt funded by entrenched interests). Some people won't trust that the amount of time it takes to get a ride will be low enough, especially in more rural areas. Many people like the culture of car ownership. But at the end of the day, if it saves hundreds of dollars per month and is roughly as safe and convenient as owning a car, the value proposition will be too strong to ignore. But that's a change that will take (IMO) 15-25 years to see widespread adoption.
Yes, it is absolutely possible. I have been doing this for years focusing on niche SaaS products that are too small for VC funded or big companies to go after. I am currently bringing in $20k/mo from my SaaS stuff (3 different niche products) and additional revenue on top of that with adsense/affiliate stuff.

I ran an advertising agency with employees at one point and grew it to $50k/mo but hated it so stopped and went back to single founder SaaS stuff.

Before the recession hit, I also ran a SaaS product in the Real Estate sector that brought in over $70k/mo at its height. I had a few employees during that time too.

I personally enjoy being a single founder running niche products but it has its downsides. Also, once you reach a certain growth point, it becomes much more difficult to go it alone. At that point, you can either hire employees to help or decide maybe it is best to sell.

Four post (and counting) on this same topic form the same guy.

I wish there were a place where sane (let alone well informed) people could discuss serious issues related to science and not be hammered by screeching ideologues.
I feel you're committing the fallacy of the excluded middle here. The current standard in which a person needs to present a danger to themselves or others also results in everyone within the mental health system being treated like they're one step away from being violent criminals, resulting in significant additional stigmatization. My best friend went through a mental health crisis earlier this spring and was involuntarily hospitalized for several weeks in virtually carceral conditions.
That's pretty much exactly what it is, to me anyway. It's IRC for non-technical people (not that IRC is particularly technical, but...)
Your example doesn't apply because my point applies to different businesses, not just "investments" in general. A hotelier buying or building another hotel is just expanding, not investing in different businesses. A hotelier that is making 10% RoI in the hotel industry would be ill-advised to take on a car rental business that makes 3% RoI, because that car rental business won't be free, and they should be investing that money where they can make 10% RoI.

Google, paradoxically, by having such a good RoI on ads has a hard time taking on other businesses. This is a big part of why they spun so much stuff off; if they stay within Google, business forces would tend to starve them despite the abundance of resources that at first glance seem to be available. It's why you see companies so often cut product lines that are profitable, but not as profitable as something else... or, to put that another way, this isn't something I'm hypothesizing about how it might happen because of the theory, it's a thing that happens all the time. I've seen at least two major passes of it at the company I work at.
A few hints to get reasonably good, fast (in vim):

Use w, W to jump words at a time.

Use v before moving to select as you move.

This works together, so vw will select to the next word boundary.

Press i to insert text, escape to stop inserting text.

Next: in the :help files, you will find a hint that tells you a direct shortcut for that command (like :help quit, or :help write, or just plain :help).
I think "outlaw" upthread means "take notice of the particular mechanism, and sufficient steps to make it untenable for most use".

Tesla is definitely behind Google now, but I'm saying their trajectory is orders of magnitude better, because they are collecting real world training data much faster. Humans show the minimal set of sensors needed for driving, and Tesla have a superset of that being delivered to customers today, which is being used to train their model. They get a lifetime of real world driving experience on those sensors every day.
Ok, then the problem is more fundamental.
If you have always repetitive parts you have a lot of duplication.
Duplication is really evil.
Please stop using macros without even thinking and instead start thinking how to kill the duplication.
That will be much more useful in my experience.

all variables in JS are private. Nodejs module require's are private in method scope.
all modules in nodejs are open souece, when you find a bug you make a pull request. Popular modules are used by many, bugs tend to surface quickly. Semver versioning is used, so its usually safe to upgrade minor (bug fixes)
Wires are definitely frustrating, but what's worse is losing them entirely. If you're running and they fall out, you're screwed.

I am confused. Was there some news today that they wouldn't have their own car, and instead would use their tech with existing car companies?
I was going to link to IBM Lotus Symphony[1] in response to your question but it turns out it's only tangentially related to Notes, sharing some marketing names and, eventually, included with Notes (version 8 I think).

Symphony was initially proprietary, then freeware and finally, in 2012, turned over to the ASF as a donation. It basically consisted of a typical spreadsheet, word processor, presentation suite all using ODF as a document format.

So, not what I thought I would find but still slightly related to your question...

The encryption here is being done by "adding 20" / "multiplying by -0.5"?

Given this "encrypted" X , y dataset, I could easily find the unencrypted version... (even if I don't know 20 or -0.5, this still reveals so much of the structure that I don't believe it provides any real protection against anything except the most lazy attackers)
I love the idea of wireless everything, when it really works. Let's see how these play out.
This is a bad question/statement for two reasons.

First, your purpose from first blush is to stifle the discussion, not enhance it.

Second, and more disturbingly, you make the implicit arguement that if you're not a minority living in the US you don't have anything to say on the matter, either because you can't possibly know what it's like, or because your (implicitly) white opinion is invalid when it comes to the case of minorities. This argument has been moving through academic and now progressive circles for the last few years, and while its initial purpose was noble - empower minority groups to tell/own their own histories as opposed to being told what/who they are by the existing power structure - I think it has been taken to an extreme that is as radical as it is intellectually hypocritical.

In making the argument - that unless you are a minority, you can't have any meaningful statements about being a minority in America - you're arguing against the idea of a universal human experience, against empathy, and against reason. If what you say is true, why should I bother reading Ta-Nehisi Coates's run of Black Panther[1], or Sylvia Plath, or any of MLK's letters? My ability to understand these figures would be curtailed to the point of meaninglessness by my whiteness, my middle-classnes, my sex. This is patently untrue. There is something uniquely human in us that is touched by these issues. I will never be targeted by police because of my skin tone, but I am still outraged by it. I will never live these problems but I can still see them, and can still work to fix them. Your argument denies that, and I defy it.

[1] It's excellent by the way. Highly recommended.
The Solaris package manager (aka "pkg(5)") also uses a SAT solver for dependency resolution (minisat):

https://blogs.oracle.com/barts/entry/satisfaction
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36856/glulp.html

However, a large drawback to SAT solutions is friendly messaging when no solution is found; just as hard as doing the initial dependency analaysis if not more difficult.

There are also interesting corner cases such as "metapackages" (in Debian terms) and alternatives, etc.

For pkg(5), almost all of the magic is here:

Uber's ride sharing model is fine for the major markets around the world (that have accepted it), but I think they're going to have to stretch quite a bit to successfully operate elsewhere.

Uber's autonomous trucking model is likely to aid in the complete change of that industry, though.
My company uses Notes, for both email and applications. We have a huge number of custom apps that perform a litany of company operations. From requesting PTO to biz workflow.

Scares me everyday I log in.
Before IBM bought it, Lotus was planning on killing the email functions, and just leaving it as a database and application system. IBM was a mixed blessing to the product - they made it large enough to succeed, but also totally messed with its purpose. IBM used it as email first, application server 2nd. That was never its strength. Oddly, IBM has since spent the last 20 years proclaiming it to be more than email, while showing the same old demos of how sales people can live out of their email box. In short, IBM owned it, but never used it or promoted it in a good way.

Believe it or not, it still is a highly functional NoSQL database, with strong security, and can be put behind other web servers... so while it is mostly a dead platform, some folks do still use it. (If you find one of the few people who know how.) But so much crap has been built with it, it has a terrible reputation. Even most of the people still using it are doing so poorly. Most of the people who do know how to use it well have moved on to new technologies, and the folks I know who still use it don't intend to stay with it much longer.

Really it was ahead of its time, but got side-tracked and messed up instead of growing into its full potential.

I should've explained the background - these are C# coders coming to Powershell, not Unix admins.

The problem with Powershell is that it tried to have its cake and eat it too - it wants the lightweight IDE of Unix-philosophy tools, but the detailed structure of C# objects. The problem is that the former is tightly tied to the simple common api of raw text, and the latter is inherently dependent on an intellisense-oriented IDE and static typing that heavily hints the names and parameters of useful actions.

Powershell manages to combine the worst of both worlds - objects means more complex APIs, but without the powerful IDE guiding you around those APIs.
Skype used to do that ... with an obfuscated proprietary software blob. There's no reason to think they didn't have the ability to reroute on demand.
There's no huge deal, I just see the way that companies fill key positions as signals of their intentions. I don't think that she's working with the CIA to spy on all of the company's users or anything, but I do think that her past actions show a history of complete disregard for individual privacy. So when the company hired her on their board to deal with issues of privacy, I read it as a signal that they are unwilling to meaningfully stand up for their users' privacy, and they're probably not adverse to quietly compromising it for a quick buck.

I was already not hugely impressed by the service, so I just switched to a more secure cloud backup provider that costs about the same. I guess it was more the straw that broke the camel's back.
It's not clear to me that Amazon actually has one business line that is both huge and so massively profitable that it prevents them from spreading out. They are huge, but they don't make the profits that Google, Microsoft, or Apple does.

I wouldn't be surprised to see AWS get spun out as it continues to grow in the next 3-10 years, because unless the trajectory of that subbusiness changes, it threatens to become the business that is too profitable to put resources anywhere else.

True, the controls challenges to a self driving truck may be easier than a personal car, but the stakes in the event of an accident are an order of magnitude greater in an autonomous truck. As proof, let's napkin-math some kinetic energies using 0.5mv^2.

If we are riding along in the current heaviest production car, the Rolls Royce Phantom Extended-wheelbase[1], which weighs in at 6000 pounds, and we are moving at 70 miles per hour, we have a kinetic energy of 1.33 Megajoules. [2]

Now, let's hop in the heaviest federally allowed tractor-trailer, which weighs 80,000 pounds, and get ourselves to 60 mph, a more reasonable speed for such a massive object. This comes to 13 Megajoules. [3]

The upshot is, one fully loaded truck moving at 60mph could cause the same amount of damage as 10 passenger cars all moving at 70mph. This means that as a firm, your liability is 10 times greater per vehicle. Insurance is 10 times more expensive. Regulation is 10 times as strict. At that level of risk, it'd be stupid to not put a human in the cab of your autonomous truck right? Just in case, and to shield yourselves from legal issues. But wait, why not just get him to drive and save yourself a lot of R&D money?

I work in the commercial trucking industry and real-world challenges mean this self-driving equation is not as lucrative as people believe. And we haven't even touched the Jobs Problem. Hence the focus on passenger vehicles. I do think autonomous trucking will become popular eventually, but this industry moves at a glacial pace for a reason.

need to have their freedom of choice taken away

A lot of people undergoing mental health issues also have severe financial stress and the related economic insecurities, which end up in a vicious cycle of poverty and worsening mental health - a situation of which I have first-hand experience.

It's depressing that your go-to strategy is to reduce their freedom of choice (and inevitably, their dignity and autonomy) instead of considering whether their functional needs are adequately met. It's as if you're arguing that people who are not able to participate and compete fully in the market can't be allowed any choices whatsoever.
