> API works around just fine like I said. I cannot recall any recent (in the past 10 years) AAA games, which don't run on the consoles.

But they all run with reduced settings, and their non console versions offer higher quality on better hardware (if developers of course took care of taking advantage of that and make it all configurable).

So I'm really not sure how API can change the simple fact that current day consoles are underpowered in comparison with modern high end PC hardware.
So level 5 is supposed to magically stop people from barfing in the back seat, getting things accidentally wedged in door and trunk hinges, smearing dog poo on the carpets or scratching up seats with paws, opening car doors into traffic, or lighting up a massive doobie while riding?

Level 5 is a fantasy world as it is, let's not pretend it can do even more than is described.
> Human consciousness seems more interesting.

Yes, true, but what would be say about it? We still have no idea how it works. So in a sense, it's not an idea yet, it's an observation.

It's unfortunate how much hype surrounds vertical farming and hydroponics as it'll likely cause a let down and potentially lead many people to miss the actual benefits. Vertical Ag won't completely replace large scale crop farming, especially given the record population levels we have nowadays. The "green revolution" of high yield mass crops has been a boon to world food stability.

Why the hype for vertical farming then? Variety, locality, and nutrition. While bulk calories come from grains which don't grow well in vertical system, many leafy greens and vegetables do. Importantly many nutrients (especially phytochemicals) degrade very quickly after harvesting. Transporting food like strawberries or leafy greens hundreds or thousands of miles results in quite severe reduction in nutrition, and often taste suffers and require significant refrigeration to counteract. [1, 3]

Great point about the lighting Influx! Indoor growing without greenhouses requires a lot of light. Alas, it's not well understood... We review a lot of lights for our customers and seem to regularly get companies who claim to increase power efficiencon over 90%! Amazing -- except they confuse lumens with light flux and won't get the corresponding plant growth. Photosynthesis requires a high light density, measured in Molson of light per volume. Kinda cool! Thanks for the link above, my coworkers will find it helpful.

All that being said we ended up developing our own custom LED lights using water cooling techniques similar to Google data centers. To achieve high enough light density while not frying the plants from waste heat, we pump the heat out via a chiller system. Basically, anytime you can water cool something -- do it! ;) [2]

Ask HN: What are good email services for personal/professional use?
What do you use/recommend? I have been thinking of trying gmail but I have privacy concerns, of course. When I say professional, I do not mean "commercial," as in using for a business but the sort of email you place on your resume.
> On the other hand, having an "on demand" car service as my only option would increase my transportation costs.

I've done some of the math on this; here are some very conservative figures.

- $50/mo for reasonable high deductible coverage.

- $100/mo gas

- $100/mo parking at the office

- $x /mo parking at home (not realized in my case)

- $80mo misc expenses (tires, wiper, diy synthetic oil change, taxes, car wash)

$330/mo pays for a lot of $5 uber pool trips.

And while our cars are paid of; The average American does not and is increasingly spending more. This adds an additional $300 to the amount I can spend on trips.

This says nothing of the current liability of driving a car. Where an accident with a > $50k car with over $100k of medical costs creates a gap in coverage for the average American.
I wonder how much this costs in economic loss just to keep the populous in the dark about the realities of the party?

Can you still access information you need in what ever industry youre in? Can you find the right scientific answers to your questions? Does it slow down traffic? Does it cripple innovation, R&D, and technology exports? etc

I'd love to see a study about this without being about politics. I remember reading a book about China by a New Yorker journalist and he believes their information control is very very effective and political dissent against the party is pretty non existant - not just repressed but people just don't care. So I'm curious at what external costs, other than the obvious loss of freedom of politics, are a consequence.
It resonated with me. You wrote it very eloquently.
If twenty percent of the population controls eighty percent of the wealth, why should you ever care about the remaining eighty percent of the population? They can't pay you, so your success or failure in their markets need not determine your success or failure in general.

Just like with electricity, the Internet, and air travel, the poor will be last. And a lot of people can do very well for themselves by putting the poor last.

This is just a tiny part of a much broader goal, which is to create a completely self sustaining town of 100 to 1000 people within my lifetime. My intention is with 100k that could get you 10 acres. 1 acre for food, 5 for solar/energy production and 4 for housing/community. Of course, with the comments in this thread, I'd need more land, haha.

As far as the economics goes: I've been doing reading but haven't formed a good conclusion yet. Initially I thought a communalist approach would work. I thought of too many ways that would fail and then opted more for a centralized, socialist approach, but that seems like it would fail as well. Capitalism, of course, would just result in what we have now, defeating the purpose. Personally I think communities where each person knows everyone else have unique advantages not present in large cities.

Disclaimer: I haven't done a ton of due diligence on these things yet. When I get closer to actually doing this I'll start doing more serious research.
Hey, I just finished another one. A school bus with a swinging open stop sign in the middle of the freeway.

Anyway, just a food for though, autonomy really requires a lot of "intelligence" and our technology is not quite there to deal with all these bizarre corner cases. I'm glad you like it.
>with reduced settings

Not sure what you mean by this. MGS V, for example, runs with more effects on PS4 than on my PC with Geforce 980Ti (which alone costs as much as two PS4s btw). Anyways, this conversation is stupid. It's not a Console vs PC flamewar. Nobody forbids you from buying a $10K PC with colored lights everywhere and setting all the settings to 11. And if you think it's a good business, this being an entrepreneur site, you should starting making those and selling to others, driving stupid console developers out of business and laughing while doing so.
One aspect that is not covered is armed conflict (or terrorism). Imagine what would happen if enemy take over a fleet of autonomous cars, be it through hacking or by physical attack on a control center.

Another thing: imagine robbery with autonomous robots and cars.

I am waiting for Hollywood to catch up on these ideas - this would be very cinematic.
Can we somehow tilt the balance by encouraging more Coops to form etc? I too think society where everything is communal is a worthy goal
Ok: I explicitly considered Android and did not consider it a product (though this was probably wrong of me), and I feel like Reader is disqualified as Google decided it failed and killed it when they should have used it as a basis for other projects (the thing they always do :/), but thanks for reminding me of Analytics and Chrome! (Is News successful?!? I always tried to use it and it never really seemed to accomplish anything, and now they seem to be attaching its fate to AMP, which is either going to win so hard they end up taking control of the entire Internet, or is going to finally kill it...)
Pulling over isn't that safe. Tons of police die on the side of highways. I mean it's generally a good fallback but you can't just pull over anywhere if in doubt. Would need to be known safe I think.
I think the ballpark you are looking for would be Biosphere 2 [0]. This is a 3 acre enclosed system that supports the food and oxygen needs of 8 people, although the people lost a lot of weight and oxygen levels dropped dangerously. While this (somewhat failed) experiment is in the ballpark of what long-term spacecraft will need to sustain generations of crew, it also shows how much land is needed to supply the air we breathe.

I haven't played it myself yet (waiting for Wine to support it on Linux), but I'm sure I've red somewhere, that The Witcher 3 uses reduced settings on consoles and you can't change them there. Developers explicitly recommended running the game on better hardware for those who want max graphics settings. It makes perfect sense to me. Developers use what the hardware allows.
It is done all the time via depreciation calculations.
LXC is sane to me. Upon first glance it is understandable and works everytime.

I went all in with Docker, it was all fun and games up until I tried it in production, and I started relying heavily on it.

Docker introduces container linking voodoo which have burnt me badly. Sure enough voodoo comes with its upsides, we now have Kubernetes which obviously I think is very cool. Just far outside of my use case.

Serenity now!
I bet the client is terrified of doing it themselves and is paying oodless of money for the assurance that the computer will now and forever Just Work. And if it doesn't it's your fault and not theirs.

Being a scapegoat can be very profitable.

How does the saying go again? Nobody ever got fired fot buying IBM? Something like that.

>Fox News has been doing the fake/biased news thing for a long time...

It's ironic that Fox news was so biased before. But this election, Fox News did good. Fox was the only news media that actually show both sides of the story, while the rest of the news media were overwhelmingly biased against Trump.
Has anyone been migrated to the new web version? I still see the old interface and it looks like the Indian Play Store hasn't received the new app either.

while I obviously agree those are important ideas, a lot of our knowledge in "science" was done during times when this didn't apply, so I feel like free thought/equality is something that arises naturally as science marches on.

Other than the already mentioned experimental method, IMO the most efficient idea (which also would end up encouraging free thought) would be: "spread knowledge, build libraries, and don't burn books".

This is the same case in India, no way an AI is able to drive on Indian roads before they pull the plug on the project altogether. I feel that self driving cars will become fancy toys for the ultra rich. Our roads are not predictable, they are good in a few places, but mostly, they are exceedingly bad. For a human itself they are impossible to travel let aside have a robot driving it. There are crazy pedestrians who don't move out of the way, they walk in the middle of the f* road, crazy people try to squeeze through the gap between your vehicle and the next one even if there is no discernible gap.

In India, in majority of roads you don't just have to look sideways, you also have to see if some stupid idiot is driving at the speeds of higher than 60 while you cross an intersection. Plus in places of high traffic the self driving car would be deadlocked because here, nobody gives anyone a lead, you have to "earn" the lead by stopping others, no way a robot is going to do that.
As a wine grape farmer I have to say that there is not much going on.

There are people using drones, but I don't see much actionable data going out of them (especialy as you check each individual plan few times a week anyway). There are reports about some robots being developed, but nothing much being deployed.

State of art technology is optical sorting machine, which check each berry, after being destemed, and discard those which are unripe, molded or damaged. It is kind of cool and I hope to be able to afford it some day.
Yes. It means that people who do those things often get their account suspended. If an Automated Uber arrives in an unsatisfactory condition, you could just reject it and send it back for maintenance/cleaning, and a new one will be on its way.

Does the car need to be completely autonomous for that scenario to be a huge issue. Isn't completely controllable through on board computer bad enough? Someone could remote control and thus weaponize such a car already, could they not?
Facebook has done a pretty poor job of unifying their messaging offering with WhatsApp. Long-time WhatsApp users may see this as a blessing but it's odd that you have seemingly competing teams owned by the same company putting out competing products, one of which has an outstanding API and the other which is basically a walled garden.

Google was in a unique position to deliver a best-in-class messaging client and own the space: they have more users than Facebook or Apple and more good will than either of those companies (based on my own personal opinion and interactions).

Despite that, they've had numerous messaging platforms: Google Talk, Waze (kind of), Hangouts, and Google Voice. I wouldn't call any of them great products - they've all done barely good enough to stay useful, falling short in the areas of cross-platform reliability, group messaging, and multimedia messaging. Meanwhile companies like Slack are eating their lunch. I love Slack (and have in fact moved to using a private Slack team for personal messaging among friends) but it still saddens me a bit that a Google has failed to deliver a solid offering here.
I used to be a deep reader when I was younger. Then I discovered some really bad advice on how to read faster via the internet. At the end of a period of experimenting with speed reading, I started being able to read very quickly, grabbing the essence of a page without reading all the words. But I found that my retention of that material was no longer as clear or as detailed as it used to be. This continued until I eventually could no longer read slowly at all, at least not without great effort.

Tl;dr: speed reading creates terrible habits, don't do it.
But think of the money laundering it's stopping!

> The Economist estimated the annual costs of anti-money laundering efforts in Europe and North America at US$5 billion in 2003, an increase from US$700 million in 2000.

> There is no precise measurement of the costs of regulation balanced against the harms associated with money laundering, and given the evaluation problems involved in assessing such an issue, it is unlikely that the effectiveness of terror finance and money laundering laws could be determined with any degree of accuracy.

> One commentator wrote that "[w]ithout facts, [anti-money laundering] legislation has been driven on rhetoric, driving by ill-guided activism responding to the need to be "seen to be doing something" rather than by an objective understanding of its effects on predicate crime. The social panic approach is justified by the language used—we talk of the battle against terrorism or the war on drugs".

I'm curious if the drug war ended how much utility it would provide...
I have to disagree with Social outcasts; A study this year concluded that driver pedestrian interactions are at an all time low; likely because of both parties using cell phones.

As the article states, I often enter cross walks to test if a car is going to slow down; and they often don't. Similarly, I recently had a near miss when a pedestrian ran across the street when I had a green light (late at night too).

(in Atlanta) Currently, cars are 1st class , Pedestrians are 2nd class, and when I bicycle, I'm often 3rd class.

Self Driving cars, I hope, will make this more equal because I'm tired of almost getting hit when I walk across the street in my residential part of town and a "showboat" enjoys flooring it (going 2x the speed limit) down my street for the 1 block between traffic lights.

Does social anxiety involve wanting to tell people to fuck off and leave you alone? I don't feel anxious about social interactions. I'll get up and give a speech in front of 400+ people at the company. I don't get panicky or nervous - I just want to go home and do things I want to do instead of what others want me to do.

Other people want me to come mini-golfing. I want to go home and play with my kitten. Other people want me to go to a party. I want to stay home and have a nice bath. Other people want me to come to the beach. I'd rather put on some music and clean my house. Fuck what other people want me to be doing. A 9-5 is as much as I'll let other people control my life and only because that much is necessary until I'm financially independent. I lack the drive to work towards that and am happy with my job, so a 9-5 it is.

I agree with Baeocystin. This sort of "Literally every human must be enjoy being social/around others!" is infuriating at best. No. Not every human who dislikes other people is broken.

I haven't had a friend in 11 years. I haven't bothered looking because I'm content with my life. I do the things I want to do, I game when I want to game, I code when I want to code, I go for walks when I want to go for walks. I don't need to worry about making plans. If I want to go see a movie - I just go. I don't have people trying to call me/text me/email me. It's absolutely wonderful.

One thing about self-driving cars that I'm not looking forward to is the proliferation of zero-occupant vehicles on the roads.
I'd love this as a private vehicle too. Imagine if you could turn a 12 hour drive into an hour on each end (from highway exists to local destination) with the ability to just relax or sleep in the middle? I don't think I'd fly anywhere within 10 hours of me, because an overnight drive suddenly isn't a burden!

It's not silly. One of Arch's primary draws is being the first to get updates and integrate new technologies. Other distros will follow soon enough if there really aren't any others.

It's not as if python2 suddenly doesn't exist, it's not terribly life-changing to add a 2 in the places where the scripts are still on the last version.

I'm glad to be on a system where the default Python version isn't one that will be officially unsupported in three years.

Edit: It's worth pointing out that this switch was made 6 years ago and the world is still spinning.
