Level 0: Automated system has no vehicle control, but may issue warnings.

Level 1: Driver must be ready to take control at any time. Automated system may include features such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Parking Assistance with automated steering, and Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) Type II in any combination.

Level 2: The driver is obliged to detect objects and events and respond if the automated system fails to respond properly. The automated system executes accelerating, braking, and steering. The automated system can deactivate immediately upon takeover by the driver.

Level 3: Within known, limited environments (such as freeways), the driver can safely turn their attention away from driving tasks, but must still be prepared to take control when needed.

Level 4: The automated system can control the vehicle in all but a few environments such as severe weather. The driver must enable the automated system only when it is safe to do so. When enabled, driver attention is not required.

Level 5: Other than setting the destination and starting the system, no human intervention is required. The automatic system can drive to any location where it is legal to drive and make its own decision.

If cities want to protect their citizens from authoritarian oppression of their residents, they should start dismantling the mass surveillance systems.

Who knows what the next Executive Order will suddenly implement.
Is there a cheap and high quality CO detector? I think it's time I replaced mine since it's probably way past due.
thanks! I was not aware.
Yeah, the title isn't great and is a bit click-baity, but if you read the article I think you'll find the content much less objectionable.
Have you ever met a Muslim in real life?
Really cool suggestions - they actually encompass a couple of ideas that we've had.

First, we discovered in the experiment that PD actually has 3 actions. Cooperate, defect, and ... wait as long as possible to defect to punish your opponent who is not cooperating. This happened because participants are playing in a real-time web app, and they have some time to make a decision. Although there is a lot of literature on how costly punishment can be used to enforce cooperation, it was pretty amazing how it emerged organically in our study after a few days. Someone could certainly grab our dataset and get a free publication out of just that.

Also, given the month-long design of the study, we were thinking of something where players get to stay on or "die" based on their daily score, and therefore the population evolves based on who gets the highest payoffs. Evolutionary game theory has some ideas about this, but they are all theoretical or simulation, and not conducted with real people. I'm actually not sure if cooperation would be sustained or not in this design, but I agree that it would go a long way toward pinning down the origins of cooperation. I also agree with you that groups or network structure would affect the result a lot, allowing cooperative bands to flourish even when defectors are running around.
My question was about the good/bad neighborhood polarization issue in the comment above it.
It matters because if the source is not what they say it was, then either they didn't memorise the fact from the source they say they did, in which case maybe they just looked the fact up very recently instead of on the day they say they did, or they don't remember where they read the fact in the first place which means they don't have such a good memory as you think they do.

For example - if you tell me you were born on October 24, 1812, and I tell you that on that day the Battle of Maloyaroslavets took plase near Moscow, and that I read it in the papers on that day- how do you know that I really read it in the papers on that day? You don't. You only know that I know the Battle of Maloyaroslavets took place on that day and year.

That's my claim: "I read in the papers, on 24 October, 1812, that the Battle of Maloyaroslavets was taking place near Moscow". Here's my evidence "I know that on 24 October, 1812, the Battle of Maloyaroslavets took place near Moscow".

One does not follow from the other, so you really have no way to tell whether I really read the papers in 1812, or whether I'm just bamboozling you about my amazing memory powers.

You're saying it doesn't matter, and I have amazing memory powers anyway, because I remember the Battle of Maloyaroslavets. Except, how do you know when the Battle of Maloyaroslavets took place? That's the other half of the claim- and it's easy to fake: I can fail to recall a fact a million times and get it right once, and people will still be amazed by my memory powers and tell each other I got great memory because I remembered it the once.
Yeah, that, and also a traffic cop standing in random spots waving cars around an accident etc.
Because the majority voted for Clinton.
There's already been a "tit-for-tat" response from Iran. US citizens are banned from travelling there.

Not like they made it easy before but still we can expect similar responses to the proposed 20% border tax with Mexico.

Edit Some people seem to think US citizens cannot visit Iran. From the horse's mouth:

Foreign students nearly always pay full tuition at US universities and help keep them afloat. Making the US undesirable for immigrants is going to make it harder for US colleges and universities to offer a great education.
Not all permanent residents are citizens. Also, it looks like it'll be made permanent unless that country can guarantee that every single person isn't a terrorist. Which seems impossible.

There are plenty of voices of all different political persuasions here on HN (and some in each group feels they're in the persecuted minority). I don't think your parent is suggesting that they need to connect their HN account with their true identity. It is useful, however, to maintain a relatively consistent, if pseudonymous, account as that benefits the HN community as a whole.
At this rate naturalized citizens will be next. And just remember that the US govt can already lock forever on terrorism charges.
It is true in our experiment that there are players who are consistently nice, and they experience lower daily payoffs than the other players. So, in one sense, "good guys finish last".

However, it's not true if you look at it from a long-term perspective. If the nice players know that not being nice would cause everyone to converge to the highly inefficient Nash equilibrium, then they are actually better off by being nice (and promoting cooperation) than they would be in the latter case. So even though they're not doing as well as the "selfish" players, they're better off than they would be in the dystopian alternate reality. (Ahem, ahem.)

> executed with little to no foresight, warning, or serious consideration, with serious consequences

I think it is easy to underestimate the ugliness and disorder such a reckless executive order can unleash unless you start to think about the details or put yourself in the shoes of the people affected.

NBC News reports[0]:

The Trump administration also has yet to issue guidance to airports and airlines on how to implement the executive order. "Nobody has any idea what is going on," a senior Homeland Security official told NBC News.

As James Gleick put it on Twitter[1]:

And how was it communicated to Customs and Border Protection? Or have they just gone rogue?

And then there is the gross conflict-of-interest reflected in this map:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-trump-immigration-ba...

The event marks a horrible landmark. It's the first time I can point to the tangible harmful impact of Trump's executive policy on actual people. Up to this point, it has been possible for supporters and apologists to waive away his vague or careless remarks during the campaign as political rhetoric, jokes, or leverage for future negotiation. Now we start to see the mean (in every sense of the word) instinct that informed them and the harm they can do.

Unfortunately neither of those two statements are true.

1) FTP predates widespread usage of compressed file formats by quite a long time. JPEG, MPEG formats (MP3, AVI, etc), ZIP archived XML documents formats (OOXML, ODF, etc), they're all comparatively new in relation to FTP. GIF is much older than the above but still more than a decade older than FTP and frankly GIF wasn't even that widely used pre-WWW where as uncompressed bitmaps like BMP and PCX were common place. However a lot of text files were copied around in the early days of FTP (hence why FTP has an ASCII transfer mode in addition to binary) and given the modem speeds of the era, compression would have really helped - albeit it's questionable whether the machines were powerful enough to do real time deflating even against text files. That isn't so much a problem these days so it's well worth having compression built into the protocol if just to catch that extra 5%. Even if you think you don't care as an end user, it matters to us sysadmins hosting high traffic servers :)

2) TCP does have a CRC-32 checksum but that doesn't help against failed downloads, memory or other hardware errors etc. A lot of more modern protocols will compare a source and destination hash of each chunk of data and/or the completed file to ensure that the two copies are identical. Frankly, I wouldn't trust FTP for archiving data for that reason alone.
The T-962 and its clones out of the box have temperature so uneven that it can scorch the center of a board while reflowing OK an inch away from the center. With various mods [1] it's marginally usable. I've used TechShop's unmodified clone unit (melted the solder mask at board center and scorched the FR4 substrate) and a used modified Puhui unit (after careful setting of a suitable heating curve, acceptable.) With new firmware, the cooling fan is run slowly during the heating phase, which stirs the hot air and reduces the hot spot problem. You have to pay about $3000 to get a reflow oven that Just Works, unfortunately. The good ones are true convection ovens with uniform air temperature.

KiCAD is not bad. The schematic drawing part is mostly OK. The schematic symbol and footprint editors are poor draw programs, and the library management is painful, but once you figure out all the quirks, usable.

Board layout is strange. There are really two board layout programs, one for OpenGL and one for non-OpenGL, and they have different features, some of which are completely irrelevant to the display. You can switch back and forth on the fly. There used to be an auto-router, but due to an IP problem (the author of the auto-router worked for a company that sold auto-routers) it's been deprecated. Manual routing has a lot of computer assistance, and is usable but touchy. The output end, with Gerber and drill files, seems to work fine; I've had boards fabbed by two vendors with no problems.

Good luck with the fight, this is not looking any good from this side of the Atlantic and brings me memories from 1938.
Trump is the most unpopular new president in history and lost the popular vote by millions of votes. He doesn't have the middle. He has an obnoxious minority.
Priming effects definitely have a huge effect on initial PD play. In one experiment researchers phrased it as "the cooperation game" vs "the wall street game" and saw much lower cooperation.

In our case, however, we made the same people play for a month. I believe that learning effects strongly dominate priming over that time period.
alternate facts strike again. in the old days we called this 'government propaganda'. Let people have 'free speech' but publish the party line in the news.
I have difficulty comprehending your follow up remark. If it is smaller than both those cities AND has more murders than both combined AND there are some safe neighborhoods, it seems obvious on the face of it that the polarization there must be pretty seriously extreme.
Just a plurality: Clinton received the most votes of any one candidate. Not a majority (over 50%).
The air filter costs an additional $750 extra when you buy the $3000 Glowforge, I could see students skimping on that and no realizing the implications. https://glowforge.com/order

That said I watched the video for this product and I'm really looking forward to when these are widespread. It's a very exciting industry. I'd definitely buy one of these when it gets to around $1k.
This piece tells me more about the author than it does any of his unfortunate users & students.

He lacks any understanding of his users' needs and sneers at them rather than try to improve their understanding. No wonder he's surrounded by people who struggle with IT.
I think I last tried it four years ago or so. Not much had changed. I briefly used Apache as a server; I think the server was fine, but the open source clients were flaky at best. I also used to have a hosting account that included WebDAV support, among others, but I never got any client to work with it except for the web interface bolted on top of that thing.

I'm surprised to see WebDAV mentioned here, to be honest, I thought it was a dead horse everywhere except in enterprise.
Hi HN! The focus of this App is "Notifications". The motivation behind developing this app was to control how often any Tom, Dick & Harry App(including unsolicited mailers) are able to notify me without any concern of my priorities.

To solve this problem, I tried to 'rank' the notifications - Where individual contacts and labelled notifications(categories) are given the highest priority. The lower ranked notifications like the "Silent category" are 'bundled' and 'silently' notified to the user.

Category-based notifications have two conceptual difference from the default notification design philosophy. One is that not all notifications should be immediate and the other is these notifications are persistent. And there's more to it.

I would like to know your views about our solution and definitely eager to answer your queries.

So, $850K in today's money would be a couple of million? A lot to pay someone, but he got what he wanted in not having to admit liability.

I doubt you have watched the Paula Jones interviews from when she was a young woman, since you don't believe that Clinton behaved shamefully in this instance when he was governor. Clinton was an effective president, but he apparently had his bad sides.

In no way way am I defending Trump, but I am willing to wait a few months to see if he can accomplish anything positive. Then, when I am totally disappointed I will probably get active politically again, probably supporting third party candidates after the DNC fiasco in the last election.

Thank the DNC political hacks for a Trump presidency.

Yes, the moderators should intercede and change the title. I wonder if the OP is no longer able to.
Permanent residents are non-citizens. That's what it means.
Yes, in our paper, we identified the "nice" group versus the other group. The nice group is significantly worse off, but (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13509853) still better off than they would be in the world if they weren't being nice.

We can tell the difference between the two types of people, because the nice people never defect first.

Finally, with regard to identifying these types in general, one could use the (very large) dataset from this experiment to train a simulated agent that plays against a human, and quickly determine which type they fall into.
I would hope any Trump supporters in YC have read http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html and taken to heart "My advice is, don't say it. Or at least, pick your battles." The Overton window of the left is surprisingly narrow given how they talk about tolerance.
Your statement is absolutely wrong, at least for Google. Google, above anything, put readability and architecture soundness first. And that pays off, as fixing micro performance issue in a sound architecture is always cheap, the reverse, however is expensive. (Fixing problematic architecture while maintaining good performance)
Bug? I'm more inclined to call it a feature...
I suspect you'll find that it's a minority of people who hold all of the same values and prioritize them the same as you. Don't feel bad, I'm sure I'm in the same boat. That's why it's important to figure out how to work together on our common goals. Expressions like "I can't fathom how" lend themselves to a very close-minded view. On some level, you have an expectation that Altman is reasonable, otherwise I don't think you'd be expressing yourself the way you are. Even if you disagree with him, strive to understand him so you might better be able to engage with him and others who hold similar views, especially if you hope that they, in turn, will take you seriously. Dismissing those who don't toe the line on each and every issue is a great way to get nothing done.

Edit to respond to the above edit: I understand how the points are related in the larger picture, though they are separate points. Altman likely has reasons why he hasn't coupled them in a single blog post. It's not unreasonable for him to address them separately, even though you may wish for him to do so.
There used to be a couple guys that would submit solutions to the qualifying round of the Google Code Jam (the round with the 25-hour time limit) in this language. I think he had to zip a png file containing his program with another file explaining of how to run it in order to submit.

True. But country of residence gets first dibs, and you get a credit for taxes paid abroad.
>whatever you're doing when you take adderall, you'll be doing for the next 12 hours before you realize how much time has past.

I'm not sure I'll ever understand this:
"Rockefeller leaves me with the problematic impression of a benevolent dictator: positive outcomes for society by distressing means, enacted by a man with tunnel vision."
He said that everything he did for the industry and for humanity was good. So why is this distressing?
Shouldn't someone who is ruthlessly good be seen as a hero?
> This is a temp 90-day ban on non-reciprocating countries (and countries of concern), which the FBI said they are not able to properly vet (because those countries will not provide background info on the applicant, and some other reasons). It only affects non-citizens.

The EO affects ALL legal immigrants from these countries like H1B visa holders and Green Card holders too.
I do think that would be a good outcome, but even if Congress were interested in revising legislation to delegate less authority to the executive (and are they?), it seems like Trump wouldn't be interested in signing such legislation. Is a veto-proof supermajority interested in it? I think so far, no.

It's possible we may get some useful legal precedents, though, if some of this ends up in the courts. A good number of conservative judges are already skeptical of both excessive executive delegation and federal-government overreach, and were making moves in that direction during Obama's administration. Will Trump cause some liberal judges who have traditionally had differing views to wake up to the danger of such an executive, without an equal-or-greater number of conservative judges suddenly having a change of heart in the opposite direction? And will good test cases arise, with standing, etc.? Maybe, maybe not, but it's possible.
Tbh I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. All the countries that dislike him/US && have Trump property.... Seems like those are easy targets especially considering how sensitive he is to his brand image it would make the attacks all the more alluring.

The Hart-Celler Act abolished the national origins quota system that had structured American immigration policy since the 1920s, replacing it with a preference system that focused on immigrants' skills and family relationships with citizens or residents of the U.S.

Executive Orders are there to fill in the implementation details that congress leaves out.. they can't override laws entirely.
Trump is creating a bargaining chip for america. This is a ploy, not s long term plan. I wonder what he ll ask in return for lifting the ban
I don't think it is by chance or coincidence that Trump's admin is targeting Iranians. What really is it with American government hating Iran and Iranians, when there are equal or even worse ethnocentric, human-rights-abusing, racially intolerant states in the Middle East?
Some of these issues sound more like issues with the traffic in SF than with the car. Maybe the cars highlight that issues to us and we can fix it instead of work around it. Bicycle lanes turning into turning lanes leads to accidents and aggression between cars and bikes. Trucks shouldn't be allowed to double park. Maybe self driving cars are like there be dev on the team who points out all the shitty code that you've gotten used to.
To me, I think it is the other way round. Claiming that those people can use computer is a bit like claiming that a person who knows how to call a taxi can use cars. We do not have a word for car users like that, but I think we would need a word for people who have a computer and somehow every now and then manage to interact with it to get some tiny set of tasks done, but who are completely unable to use the computer unassisted.
If you really believe that doing the "extreme vetting" is necessary for your security, then you have some form of "islamophobia". Just look at the numbers: The number of ISIS soldiers is in the thousands. There is more than 1 billion muslim, though.

The probability of the guy being extremely vetted is a terrorist is a ridiculous 0.000001%. That doesn't take into account that a good number of terrorists are already known, are in war, locked in jail cells or have no passports/documents.

This probability is also probably lower than the guy being from a visa-waiver country where the guy happen to be mentally unstable and go on a killing spree. In both cases, your extreme vetting is very unlikely to detect the bad guy.

However, here is the thing. By alienating the population to the "dangers of islam", you are further separating these people from the American communities and not helping them getting integrated. This will, in the long run, backfires badly as it creates huge "muslim neighbour-hoods" that are not compatible with the fabrics of American society. France is a good example.
It was not obvious that resilient cooperative players even existed before we conducted this experiment.

Now it's obvious, because we run into nice, prosocial people and of course they fit the profile.
