These were not on Autopilot, but human-operated maneuvers.

Why would Autopilot have a warning for frontal collisions but not for rear collisions? And why would Autopilot be speed-limited and all that if it was able to use launch mode to avoid a rear collision?
> Maybe you're in the kitchen grabbing a poptart and start talking shop with someone who walks in.

I find that most talks like that are just shooting the breeze. _Some_ of them are useful and in my experience it's usually then they happen rarely. So I think it is beneficial for the team to get together once in a while, but working like that should not be mandatory and you should just let people go back to their preferred routines ASAP.

UPDATE: And yes, make sure the culture is "remote-friendly" ("remote-first") even if most of your workers spend most of their working time in the office, otherwise it's not going to work (and I'd argue that this is a good approach even if you don't have any remote workers, but that's for another post).
When Eric Schmidt said "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place," this is pretty much what he was talking about.

Pretty sure he regrets saying that in public.

But yeah, as I said in the previous story about this case, I've given up a lot of privacy in the past 10 years for convenience. I'm aware of the ramifications though. Many people just aren't thinking about the consequences.

I didn't compare the two. I was explaining that the absence of these things means emoji's don't do a good job of communicating emotion and empathy.
That's another thing I was hoping he'd define sooner or later in the article.

However, if this was extracted from a book it makes a little more sense.
Why is it possible to do command execution in a mailer at all??? Any reasonable language would have abstracted this into an SMTP library where such things are impossible instead of relying on sendmail.
Exactly. Steam operated for a very, very long time with no refund system at all. It's a positive thing that they've finally added one after all these years.
If it's any indication, you can read 113 km/h on the dashcam overlay. Besides, the Opel Corsa, at least for the few seconds before the crash, seems to roughly maintain the same distance from the Tesla, so it should be travelling at a very similar speed...
This happens every day in the UK and other countries. I can't help but feel cynical that It's only news worthy this time because the individuals are caucasian. Immigration laws are extremely rigid and usually only the wealthy or socially palatable can navigate them with ease.
Interesting that they've stuck with sourceforge. I know SF stopped the malware bundling, and has changed hands a few times. But it doesn't seem to offer anything unique or compelling vs github, gitlab, etc, either.

Edit: There is a stigma of sorts associated with staying there...many people interpret it as "this project is dead". The upside of moving might be bigger than you suspect.
By that definition, encryption for a cloud-based home automation system is impossible, right?

"Here's the command from the Echo Dot."
"Great, what should I do?"
"Can't tell you; it's encrypted."
I had no idea an eggplant is used as a sexual connotation, which underscores my point that emoji's aren't universally understood.

While I agree that legacy admissions should probably be phased out, they're still "income blind." Knowing someone's a Harvard graduate does not mean you know their income.
I have to beg a revision to this analysis of AI as a solution to the InfoSec industry skills shortage. Point of fact, the skills shortage in cybersecurity is no longer about a lack of bodies performing any of the automated data mining and intrusion detection functions AI is currently able to do, and may advance further in years to come, but actually about human beings with the right skillset to do what AI can never do. We are looking at human beings who can not only intelligently leverage "tools" like AI, pentesting toolkits like Kali Linux, and the myriad hacking/cracking soft and hardware tools out there, but also to think like and counter Black Hat human threats with similar skillsets.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service published an insightful paper "2018 Security Outlook - Potential Risks and Threats". In this paper they acknowledge that the skills shortage in cybersecurity will continue to be unsolved. In fact, they predict such a growth in automated tools with decision-making and other AI attributes and there is an embedded warning in this outlook that we can not blindly trust everything these systems produce. We need human beings as hackers, as analysts, as overseers of the AI armies predicted for 2017-2018 or we will lose control of the cyberwars we are currently managing.

To sell current and predicted AI tech as a solution to the security skills shortage is to suggest the problem is something other than it is. And if we suggest that, when AI is improved and proliferated, there will be a mistaken sense of comfort among some in the industry, and especially among those who are not "in the know" that will actually do more to threaten InfoSec as an industry, and the actual safety and security of our systems, in that it will create a vulnerability in the widening of the security skills hole - the human factor.

We love our tools, we love AI and we love technology. It will never be a solution to the ever-growing shortage in qualified human hackers desperately needed to fill seats in InfoSec roles across the needy customer base. All new tech needs human monitoring and if the AI as anticipated here comes to pass, you will need yet another large body of human assets to make it successful.

Building an MVP for Fun and Profit
IMO the best office are old houses even if it is not remote.

I'm from New England and I hate "open concept" design.

I like cozy pockets, wood floors, oriental rugs, steam heating, and in general old designs.

I like mazes of interconnecting rooms with low yellow light coming out of sconces.

None of this overhead white sunlight crap.

Despite that I prefer the new bamboo floor open offices any day to the office-space-ugly-color-wall-to-wall-carpet-florescent-overhead-cubicle-fest of yesteryear.
This is just incorrect. The NHTSA recommends to stay in normal riding position in the vehicle if you need to stop your car on the highway. Yes, you can still get hurt in some circumstances but your neighbor could be dead instead.
> if your meal, drink orders and dessert come out promptly and correctly, if they ask if everything is ok throuought the meal at appropriate times, etc I would tip.

And yet fully half of those things are beyond the control of the person you're tipping for it.
I don't remember preaching for open offices - it is just the modern/hipster (and of course much cheaper, even cheaper than cubicles) way to easily "store" your employees.

The ideal was always to use private offices or small offices housing up to 4 persons closely working together.

IIRC there's a chapter on that on peopleware and the following article by joel describes the issues pretty good: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/07/30/private-offices-re...

TL;DR developers need private, quite offices to be productive in their primary work (write code).
Sure, pip installs either system-wide dependencies or, if you as it, installs them into your home.

As for API, I now see what you mean, you use the term API is a different meaning than I do (remote API vs local API), hence the misunderstaning.
No, I don't think hotdoc supports side-by-side documentation and examples at the moment. I think it can be extended to do so, though.
It's a nice visualization, but cpu usage shoots through the roof ! Deleting the animated arrows between the countries helps a bit, but then it still uses around 50% cpu (and that's on a fast desktop computer. Can't imagine my laptop trying to display this page). Using Ubuntu + firefox (it's a little better with chromium).

Is it a problem with this page ? With my setup ? Or is it just impossible to do something of this quality on the web without monster cpus ?
"but think it's worth mentioning"..."There are people who work better in an office than at home"

The article specifically and directly addressed this. Right near the beginning, as a pretty major disclaimer point.

There are people of all stripes. One of the most infuriating things about the remote / office discussion is that people who prefer one or the other cast their lot as universal: everyone just slacks and is useless when remote, or everyone hates working in the office. Of course, like everything, people fall all over the gradient.
Because if they don't, I'll tell all my friends that Alexa is being used to monitor their speech for law enforcement, and to not say anything incriminating around one.
Some People's Brains Are Wired for Languages
Wow. That's some complex stuff. I used to think I was interested in amateur/hobbyist programming language design and implementation, until I read enough articles like that one to know I'm way in over my head. The simple (read: inefficient, slow, useless) stuff is still fun, but, well, a huge waste of my time compared to stuff I'm actually good at.
> I always thought those bigger cars are safer / stronger / more resistant to hits?

Physics would have you start with a spherical, uniformly dense car, but cars aren't that. Crumple zones engineered for passenger safety requirement mean that intuition falls short unless you really dig into it and add stuff like center of gravity to the model.

Also think about why you believe that - looks can be deceiving, and marketing, especially for rare expensive purchases like cars, very much plays on emotional appeal rather than actual science. ("Ultimate driving machine"? Pft, really?). The original SUVs were designed off truck platforms and did quite poorly in safety tests, and their higher center of gravity doesn't help at all. (Though it looks like a minivan in the video.) Just like two objects falling will fall at different speed in the real world due to air resistance, bigger != better with cars.
You can't see crumple zones just by looking at how pretty the car is; vehicle safety is one area where government regulation has made cars safer by requiring all new cars sold in the US to meet a very high safety bar, and that's improved over the years, evident in this video of an intentional crash between a 1962 Cadillac vs a 2002 model. https://youtu.be/O-WYKYrq5FI
Show HN: Cpu-stat – command line CPU usage statistics for Linux
Yes.

And would pushing chunks actually require a protocol modification? AIUI http2 push mirrors the hypothetical request headers. So it could essentially push a range-request which the browser could use to partially populate its cache.
That's not the question businesses are asking. They're asking, how can I solve this problem as cheaply/efficiently as possible? And the answer is increasingly not human labor.

There is work to be done in poor communities in the sense that there is need, but there isn't much work to be done in the sense that not many people are offering jobs (because not many can pay).

Anyone who has spent time in a rich community knows that there's plenty of surplus that could be shared. It's not a problem of lack of resources, it's a problem of distribution.

The problem with redistribution, we're told, is that the current distribution is based on merit: those who provide the most value are given the most value. Joe is a billionaire because he's provided billions of dollars of value to the world, while Bob is starving because he doesn't provide any value. If we take from Joe to feed Bob, then Joe won't have any incentive to provide value, so he'll stop, and society will collapse.

However, I don't think that's true. Joe doesn't provide more value than Bob necessarily--he just is better at manipulating the abstractions we've created around value. We don't live in a meritocracy.

But the lie of meritocracy isn't a complete lie. People do often provide more value if they receive more value. Honest actors do exist and provide value, and while most don't get to be Rich Joe, most don't become Homeless Bob either.

However, with technology, these honesty actors are no longer needed, and the lie of meritocracy becomes even more bald faced. In a future where robots do all the work, are we to believe that someone provides value simply because records show that they own the robots?

Transemployment is just an attempt to maintain the current distribution of resources: ostensibly the transemployed would work for someone, and that someone would determine how much they are paid. And of course that person would be paid more.

I think that a better solution is to drop the pretense that the distribution of resources is meritocratic, and as technology makes it even less meritocratic, we should look at ensuring that the benefits of technology are distributed more evenly. Creating fake jobs to maintain a tiered distribution of resources is only going to make things worse.

> '“Now you have Caucasians moving back into the community, you have Facebookers and Googlers and Yahooers,” said Pastor Paul Bains, a local leader. “That’s what’s driven the cost back up. Before, houses were rarely over $500,000. And now, can you find one under $750,000? You probably could, but it’s a rare find.”''

It's a pity that they don't teach journalists how to think. The problems in housing shortage and increase in housing prices is because of zoning density restrictions, not that more people are moving into the neighborhood. These zoning density restrictions are a market inefficiency called "rent-seeking" which uses politics to give a special interest group, in this case landlords and existing home owners a portion of unearned wealth over tenants and home buyers.

The proper fix is to pass laws that prohibit the zoning density restrictions or that reverse the "rent-seeking" laws.

One gets tired of journalist writing these kinds of stories without citing the reasons and the fix.

Where I live in NYC, many of those on the left claim that they want affordable housing and want people to have an affordable wage (or lower housing costs in order to make the wage they earn go farther), yet they are for laws that limit zoning density.

This phenomenon zoning density restrictions related to affordable housing is written about by many, but here is a good article by Harvard Economist Edward Glaeser who is an expert on cities.

Whether this is actually a progression over B&M stores is a different topic. But the amount of waste (most of these packaging materials are not being properly recycled. I do, but most of my neighbors don't) this $5.6 billion industry produced is astonishing.

It's such a wasteful industry that China Post actually came up with laws and regulations ordering carriers to reduce wastes by simplifying packaging for online ordered goods just starting late 2016[1]

Anecdotally, my friends in China told me that some of their double singles day items came in thin poly packs that without air cushions and most of the electronics are shipped with retail packaging as is and without an outer carton box.

I think U.S. should follow suit.

Totally. Not to mention people getting sick during the flu season just because they can't work remotely due to the company policy.
Who decides what is fake and what is not?
Absolutely, yes.

My experience is that remote work is the exception, not the norm. The only way to get stability as a remote employee is to have an exclusive skill or some other advantage over the other employees, eg. "I'm the only remote employee, but I'm the only one who is a proven data science whiz," "The company cannot find enough locals who know Scala," etc. And even then, your stability is still contingent on this supply/demand imbalance.
And I hope Facebook fights back with everything it's got if Germany goes through with this.

I know why politicians don't care about the consequences of such actions, but I'm always surprised of the support here on HN for such actions, when the horrible, slippery-slope consequences should be obvious. Well...I do know of one reason, but I won't go down that political rabbit-hole.
No, they're asking amazon to provide everything it recorded. Publicly they're saying it might have been accidentally triggered (e.g, device thinking it heard the wakeword)

Privately, they're hoping it records everything.

However to date, wireshark investigations and other forensics people have done proves it only sends data to the cloud when you ask it the wakeword.
Had Wells Fargo which seems to be one of the biggest banks. And not just that, I've also got the stuff about online transfers confirmed by locals who also told me that the only exception that you can count on is when sender and recipient are at the same bank.
I've found the official documentation (docs.opencv.org) to be one of the best sources online. It goes into mathematics/theory often but presents the info in a way that you don't need it to get stuff done. I would also check out pyimagesearch.com. There's a ton of really cool projects and tutorials (mostly in python but the c++/python api are near 1:1)

Free access to everything is great, but you can't also complain that you have no jobs left when those companies can't pay people to actually do the research anymore.

Most of the information that Aaron was 'freeing' cost lots of money in research and development.

A true hero would create an organization that spent their own money on research and development and then give out the results for free. This takes real sacrifice.

Most of the people that propose that everything needs to be free are talking about the hard work of other people and freeing it against their will.

This is not my definition of a hero or even someone we should admire.
> But yes, the idea to minimize the number of sensors is a good one. I think the ideal place for this would be a pressure sensor within the oleo struts of the landing gear.

Yup, this exists.

> In its final report on the Fine Airlines accident, the Safety Board discussed the Sum Total Aft and Nose (STAN) system, which is an electronic system installed on some cargo airplanes that allows flight crews to verify an airplane's weight and balance before departure. According to the report, the STAN system uses pressure transducers to convert main gear and nose gear shock strut air pressure to an electronic signal. The system then provides flight crews with a digital readout in the cockpit (on the flight engineer's instrument panel) of the airplane's gross weight and CG values.

Hi there,

I'm the author of the map. For sure it can be optimised. If you can help, feel free to do so on github - or reach out so we can chat. Thanks :)

It's been forever since I've thought about the segmented memory model. Can someone explain this math to me:

The OP states:

"Since our code resides at 0x7C00, the data segment may begin at 0x7C0"

0x7C00 in decimal is 31744 and 0x7C0 in is decimal 1984 and a segment is 16 bits. I understand that the CPU is hardwired to do a JMP to 0x7C00. But how did they arrive at choosing 0x7C0 for the data segment?
Systems Past: software innovations we actually use (2014)
University students have disposable time. They do not have disposable income. Sophisticated investors will look at the potential of a team more so than the aesthetics of the demo. So here's how I see it.

Selling $1500 worth of services takes approximately the same effort as selling $5000 worth of services. It takes slightly less effort than selling $10,000 worth of services.

The overhead of a $1500 job is proportionally much higher than the overhead of $10,000 job. The expectations of $1500 job are proportionally higher. And inexperienced clients and young people are the most likely to try not to pay and to not understand negotiation and rarely come in with a win-win approach.

The key to having long term consulting contracts is to have good clients who are in the habit of paying consultants for long term work. Because such clients do not have to be educated on the benefits and costs.

Good luck.
