Yes! The far suburbs of Nashville aren't going to see UberTeslaWaymo fleet cars; the utilization would be far too low. They'll see what they see right now: one or two drivers on Uber or Lyft. And the trip price will be higher to reflect the human driving the car.

Could you bear to tell parents that their children or grand children will die because our climate will be irrevocably damaged?
> Ya, Uber just wants people to think they provide better service at lower prices than their competition; and the tricksters, they're doing it by working to provide better service at lower prices than the competition.

The prices are lower because they're subsidized with invested money and debt.

True of any alternative and thus irrelevant to the question I was answering.
The parent comment of educating yourself refers to the fact that using a slow hash function and using multiple iterations has be password storing best practice for many years.

Its neither surprising (rather expected) nor of questionable value.
So more lives saved and less jobs to go around sounds like a wonderful future existence.
If drone delivery becomes an actual thing, roof access for package pickup will be offered as an amenity. Services like Fresh Direct have prompted doorman buildings in NYC to start offering cold storage rooms to keep produce fresh until pickup.
As a Kubernetes user who's been running 500+ containers in production for a little over a year now, my chief complaint is not the Docker platform stuff, it's the reliability of Docker itself. We've suffered through a number of bugs that cause node instability and lock-ups and some of the underlying issues have been open for close to a year.

I don't think that this is the exact bug for our issue but it's closely related:

https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/10355

I really want to give rkt a shot but our tooling investment in Docker is huge. I want to wait and see what the runtime ecosystem looks like in another 6 months before considering a switch.

I just want to point our that the title, "Italian doctors transplant kidney for spleen," remains misleading, to my eyes. This isn't as interesting as it sounds.

The patient had renal failure and needed a transplant. Due to vascular anatomy, it sounds like the lower abdomen was not an appropriate place for a new transplanted kidney.

The innovative technique was to sacrifice the spleen to create a space for the kidney, then to use the intact splenic vasculature to hook up to the transplanted kidney.

The spleen is a lymphoid organ that people can live without. Many people with sickle cell disease are "functionally" asplenic. It can be removed after injury. Etc. It's a highly vascular organ and has a robust supply via the splenic artery.

In no way does the kidney perform the function of the spleen.
My favorite one is when USIC released their statement saying they were confident Russia had compromised U.S political organizations to try and influence the election[1] and the "grab em by the pussy" tape was released that same day[2]

I've always found the tension between ivory tower AI and real application in games fascinating.

To me, games seem like a great place to test theory in a mode that can be unsupervised and self-grading, while also representing real world contraints.

I'm glad to see DeepMind and others make some advances.
Oh boy, another Ayn Rand loving psychopath in the whitehouse.
A fair point. Lacking good GUI tools, integration libraries, etc., something like this will never gain traction. This looks to be a fairly complex code base. Re-implementing it in a library licensed under BSD/MIT would be non-trivial.
Note that evolutionary psychology, which theorizes that human behavior is genetic and controlled by largely genetic forces, is highly controversial in of itself for being excessively reductionist and prescriptivist in its research. I would recommend reading a few of the outlined common criticisms and then looking at the paper with more context as to what it may be exploring here. A simple summary of some things:

C does not define an abstract machine. That's the runtime implementation's job.

>• Smart switching between multiple devices logged into iCloud. You need only pair with one of your iCloud devices and the rest will auto pair.

Genuine feature, and a neat one at that. Previously I had to rely on stuff like NFC or saved pairs, which is still more than 1 pair.

>• Auto-pause when removed from ears.

Also a genuine feature. Takes some real thinking to make that a priority in the UX.

>• Auto-mono when only one is in your ear.

Is that really a feature? I mean I guess that's cool, but it seems like a play on the previous feature sensing if in use or not.

>• Carrying case that charges them rapidly and keeps them safe in your pocket.

This is a necessity rather than a feature per say.

Wired headphones don't need to be charged. Wireless headphones with a headphone port for backup also don't require a charge.

Most modern headphones are a single unit, so they don't need a case to be kept from getting lost.

That said, many have cases to keep them from getting tangled or damaged in transport, the latter which is true for the airpods, however if your case were damaged, so is your charger.

> If these turn out to have the same issues, I'll gladly report how inaccurate Apple's marketing was and how disappointed I am.

If they have the same issues as other Bluetooth devices, hopefully you find out about it before you spend your money on some expensive tech.
I think XHTML shows that trying to create the specification first puts the cart before the horse.

Write software first; people will create content that matches the platforms that they care about most.
I see it largely as a response to rkt, which again was largely a response to Docker either not wanting to, or being slow at, doing this kind of separation.

Avoiding thing Docker daemon, for example, was a big motivation with rkt.

But of course it's gotten even more important as Docker has ballooned in complexity.
Teapot Rendering – Animated Short Made WithRust Blender Plugin
That case seems* to have been dismissed. My (very brief) reading of it is that there is no industry-standard definition of what a "core" is (other than possibly being able to simultaneously execute), and what can or cannot be shared among cores. I see no issue with AMD calling a module of two integer units and one floating point unit "two cores"

This is what bothered me too. "Hey everyone, we delivered to our first real customer!"

Then shows the "customer" with a full camera crew, obvious UI mocks, and great looking warehouse workers I have a hard time believing aren't paid actors. Like most things these days, it's probably a paid for PR article lightly disguised as authentic.
As for the authenticity,

Nikon and Canon both have a feature where the camera digitally signs each image, so that you can "prove" that they weren't modified after the fact. Unfortunately, I believe someone managed to extract the signing key from a Nikon camera and there was some other vulnerability with a Canon.
> It seems that wherever I go, everyone has something terrible to say about them, but they still keep getting huge contracts that they fail to deliver on.

Like many businesses that thrive on enterprise, and particularly government, contracts, IBM's key competitive strength is in knowledge of an expertise in navigating and manipulating the relevant contracting processes.
The thing is, the government is not a business. Even if the motives of the Exon CEO were pure, why should I think he'd make a good diplomat. I wouldn't want an astronaut performing surgery.

I think the comparison between robbing a truck and a drone is naive at best.

Would you consider the same robbing a truck, probably threatening the driver at gun point, being seen by him, to grabbing a package from the claps of a drone?
Tonality and use of filler words are not really relatable.

Mistaken tonality is more like saying "tree" instead of "three".

Tonality is another feature of a speech sound like aspiration or voicing. Although it is not easy for English speakers, there no reason in principle to single it out as especially difficult.
It might expose the existence of an NSL, but not of that NSL.

That is: I'm Joe Terrorist. I use, say, GMail. Google gets a thousand NSLs. On at least one of them, they tell the NSA/FBI/CIA/whoever to get lost. Five Google execs get arrested. I, Joe Terrorist, may guess that the arrest is over NSLs. I have no idea whether I am named on one of the NSLs in question, or whether I was on one of the NSLs that Google complied with, or whether I'm still completely under the radar.

It might serve to remind me "oh, yeah, that's right, any of those companies can get an NSL and report everything they know about me", but if I'm at all a competent terrorist, that's something I already knew and should be continually remembering.
Well, with respect to the topic of this thread, those are specifically the jobs which people might purchase the car and sub it out to a company for a shared profit. If the cars are autonomous, there's no need for the driver to be there. It could become the equivalent of a paper route, and extra way to make some cash on the side during what are traditionally non-work hours (in this case, the cleaning and mechanical upkeep of the car).

Sure, and every time I use such a "custom" feature, I have to look up how it works. If markdown were less static, the whole language might be like that. That's fine for some uses, but not when the use is a simpler, more memorable way to generate html.

No, you can write the entire list without any </li> tags and it's perfectly fine. You also generally don't need to close your <p> tags to start a new paragraph, because paragraphs don't nest inside each other.
Personally, I hate to have either lying around that would work, but are unable to be paired up. The only instances that I've replaced motherboards but not CPUs are when the board has a problem (leaking capacitors, unbootable BIOS). CPUs generally aren't worth the cost of incremental upgrades anymore, and motherboards are cheaper than the CPU on them.
I'm sure a horse-and-buggy owner said that about automobiles too.
Why don't these filmmakers just use an iPhone to shoot their documentaries instead?
SaaS Developer volunteering to implement your idea
A little bit about me: I am primarily a backend developer. I recently learnt a bit of front end programming. I want to do a toy project where I implement both the backend and the front end, end-to-end.

Instead of implementing yet another todo application, I thought I would implement a genuine business idea which could be useful for someone.

So, if you have a good SaaS business idea/proposal which you wish gets implemented by an engineer, I will be happy to implement it for you. There is no need for you to pay me any money. I will do the code for the API backend, web front end, put the source in a github project, with public domain rights, which you can take and use on your own (for hosting etc.). I will not do any CSS styling though.

I will implement the API backend in Scala or Go. The web front end in react+redux.

It need not be a pure business idea too, if you wanted something that could help in your day-to-day productivity improvements if a website existed for that, you could send that idea too.

Please make sure your idea is explained as elaborate as possible (with screen mockups preferably) as I am not a native english speaker. I provide absolutely no guarantee on the rightness of the system or the timeliness of when the work will be done. At the minimum expect things to take at least a month.

Suggestions ?

2nd Annual Report Rates Mexican Telecoms on How Well They Protect User Privacy
I would say the difference is that China's leadership knows it's gone off the rails, whereas the US's leadership is mostly still in complete denial.

China's growth has forced them to acknowledge that their industrial expansion is not sustainable. The US leadership, meanwhile, has not had the necessary wake-up call.

China's authoritarian system of government means they can be much more quick and heavy-handed about changing direction without as much fear of making unpopular decisions, and they're already doing that. The US is hampered by the fact that its politicians are beholden to constituencies and lobbyists.

China seems to see green energy as being a business opportunity — these days, almost everyone except those with vested interest in the status quo do — and is making enormous investments. This, unfortunately, is probably the key to solving global warming: Make solving it financially desirable, and people, governments and companies will be incentivized by greed alone.

It's not exactly a novel approach, but we seem to have finally reached a tipping point where "green" no longer has the stigma of feeble, touchy-feely liberal environmentalism, which makes all the difference.
My threshold for what is safe is irrelevant, and we can change laws if we want.

I can walk down to my sidewalk and have a half-ton vehicle going 45 mph drive within 20 feet of me in a moment. There is no question in my mind that that circumstance is much more dangerous than any delivery drone you care to send coming within half that distance. We live with some very generous tolerances for risk.

But to speak to the Blu-Ray player being hurt by the drop, sure, but what makes you think every possible item to be delivered would need to be accounted for in modeling a service like this? I assume there's a narrow band of items that make good candidates, and I'm not interested in hypothetical problems with delivering items that aren't good candidates in the first place.
C++? Preposterous.

I suspect it's more likely an immediate response to https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o

People still want to use runc because it's a great piece of battle tested kit but don't want the kitchen sink and projects like CRI-O and Garden-Runc/Guardian are pushing the much simpler, smaller surface area angle.
That's only if you think that people are 100% OK with using a random car every time they want to travel. I think they would be willing to pay a little extra to own a car to keep their stuff in at all times (e.g. I always leave my Sunglasses in the car)
It's fortunate they were shown to be broken. Because they inherently are -- it's DRM all over again. If it wasn't publicly known they were broken, then people might put more faith in them when they shouldn't.

Fewer jobs, not less, and yes, that does sound wonderful to me. You think that sounds like some kind of dystopia, there being more people alive who perhaps have to look for different jobs? Versus those same people being dead and people still doing tedious work we could automate? I think that sounds more dystopian, personally.
I'd be curious as well, but after lane splitting in the bay area, my default assumption would be that a self-driving car would react in a safer way. In my experience most lane splitting close calls are due to inattentive drivers changing lanes without signalling or randomly shifting position within their own lane.

I've never understood why people think traffic will move faster with self driving cars. The status quo is drivers driving well beyond the physical capabilities to stop given the conditions at hand. Sure, they might be able to cut down on reaction time, but they still can't do anything about physics.

Given that these vehicles will shift the risk model from driver to manufacturer, and subsequently programmed to obey the laws (which include right of way), we might actually see pedestrians and cyclists using their right of way instead of being bullied away from it.

The idea that cars can communicate with each other so they could drive closer together and faster is complete bullshit...Sure, it's possible, but what profit-driven company would ever take that risk knowing the real-world reliability of wireless communication?

The idea that they won't drive around looking for parking? Welcome to your traffic jam of the future: https://twitter.com/yann_rouen/status/807781862022246401

Pretty much all the evidence points to very slow traffic in the future of self driving cars. As someone who mostly walks everywhere, I'm pretty excited.
I did 4 marathons last year along with 2,000km of running mileage, and if music is a must while you run, then at x4 a week, it's worth looking into for a better setup. Even a basic GPS watch with a separate cheap music player (look for a clipping one) and you'll be much more comfortable. Granted, this won't allow to send/receive texts or calls, but hopefully you can manage to disconnect from the world for 1-2 hours.

I don't come across too many even semi-consistent runners who take their phone with them. Most can't stand a big iPhone 6/7 or Samsung strapped to their arm like a piece of armor. I don't think these AirPods will improve the running-music duo at all. The technology doesn't quite cater to us yet. Lightweight, sturdier earbuds (check out yurbuds) with a cord under the shirt down to the waist isn't noticeable and is hard to beat.
