Nice. You have to choose between fast and realistic. If you run one fix, 15 seconds, behind real time, and compute a route between the last two fixes, the paths will look good. But, as the author points out, when you order a car, nothing will move for the first 15 seconds. The author doesn't say how they dealt with that.

This is an old problem in multiplayer games. The usual solution is that the sending client predicts the position linearly from the last two fixes, and when the actual position differs from the prediction by some constant amount, it sends an update. The receiving end uses the same prediction algorithm, so its positions match the sending end with a maximum error of the same constant amount, (plus some additional error due to lag.) Updates are also sent periodically in case one gets lost, but those are not frequent.

Incidentally, Uber's display of cars on a map on the home screen is totally fake.

Another paper from 2013 also touched on cosmic radiation as a cause when attempting to quantify differences in transient error rates in memory based on the location of the machine.

From the PC World writeup (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2066220/sc13-elevation-plays-...
): "In a field study of two high-performance computers, the researchers found that L2 and L3 caches had more transient errors on the supercomputer located at a higher altitude, compared with the one closer to sea level. They attributed the disparity largely to lower air pressure and higher cosmic ray-induced neutron strikes."

The paper itself: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2503210.2503257 One can find copies of the paper online simply by searching for its title.

Both the that and the phys.org article are a good reminder that the unconscious assumption that many software developers hold that the hardware is 100% reliable and deterministic is not (and never was) true.
What kind of latency does meshing add? I'd reckon a few more ms per hop?

Typically the rules of racing will say you don't block faster cars or deliberately drive dangerously, etc. e.g. Forumla 1 says:

But yes, this Roborace thing seems pointless unless the cars are made by different teams and have different software, etc.

Ask HN: How do you become a video game Dev Ops engineer?
I noticed this job listing for the video game company Guerrilla Games (they have a PS4 game coming out soon):

https://www.guerrilla-games.com/join/devops-engineer

I know of Dev Ops for web development, but video games? What online/Github resources are there for learning how to do video game Dev Ops? I'm interesting in the open source tooling they use, although I'm betting most video game studios are probably using in-house proprietary tooling for most of their Dev Ops.

Anyone here a Dev Ops for a video game company? What's it like, and what do you do? Were you a game developer with C++/C# skills before and just went into Dev Ops?
Getting rid of tipping is like treating chronic disease with symptomatic pills. Though we have to question, whether it is a real disease or simply our nature?

Demand is on customer side, not on service company or place. If someone wants to be surrounded by attractive service and is ready to pay for it (not rejecting averages, of course), is he completely wrong?
You're right, but I felt like atleast that was better than a one time fee for something that had (no offense to creator) no credibility of being a sustainable business, and can shut down at any moment. I didn't even bother to see who the payment processor was. (Note to creator) Having a trustable payment processing system like stripe or even a bitcoin wallet would be better than a random website prompting for credit card details. I don't think even paypal is a good option these days because they can see your personal details.

If it catches on, the creator can always increase the prices and grandfather in the old customers. You might've noticed that the only mention of pricing was for $5 and it talked about simple features for premium users. So I felt like that amount was a good deal since no one would blink before saying okay to a couple dollars a year deal, but have a one time fee, some people won't take the leap of faith.
Too bad you didn't read the article! The work the scientists did led to much more interesting breakthroughs that that. I learned several new things (x-inactivation and the "EXITS" exceptions to the phenomenon).
Given that the alternative hypothesis is usually defined as the complement of the null hypothesis (HA = 1 - H0) this doesn't make much of a difference, though.
So they're using the screen consisting of three monochromatic LED types as a full-spectrum light source? I don't think that works... You still just get three points on the spectrum, same as the Bayer filter on the camera.

I suppose if the three screen LED wavelengths were significantly different from the three camera filter wavelengths then you could:

Illuminate with screen Red to get Rscreen.

Illuminate with screen Green to get Gscreen.

Illuminate with screen Blue to get Bscreen.

Use ambient full-spectrum light to get Rfilter, Gfilter, and Bfilter.

Then you'd have 6 points on the spectrum.
One of the theories is that for whales, they are so large their cancer gets cancer and dies before the cancer is large enough to effect them. Or genes prevent them from getting it, etc.

There are a number of ways that whales are different from humans, and there is no reason that the cancer scaling with mass in humans is invalidated by whales.
Clickjacking is dead, because we have X-Frame-Options! (said no one ever).

Wow.

Dorje Chang, Fa Zang's teacher, claims that he's the 3rd incarnation of the historical Buddha, the one that Buddhism is based on. But this Dorje Chang lineage isn't a lineage in the sense of The 14th Dalai Lama, or The 16th Karmapa. In those lineages there's a transmission of teachings, some real cultural functions, Wikipedia pages...

But this goes beyond the usual claiming of Rinpoche status, or saying that he's some long-forgotten Tulku, I'm not sure his claimed lineage* even exists or is in any way recognized by any of the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

There are two primary documents that make up a businesses financial statements. The P&L and the Balance Sheet.

The P&L is the profit and loss. It is where the terms "top line" and "bottom line" come from. The top line is total revenue. The bottom line is net profit.

The balance sheet shows the assets and liabilities.

Basically, the P&L is how a company performed for a period of time (month, quarter, year, etc) and the balance sheet is what the company is worth at a specific point in time.
I dont think this is fair. Susan is a genius, she has multiple degrees from top universities.

This guy is describing an eating disorder-- Anorexia Nervosa specifically. Do not start doing what he is describing and put yourself on a similar path.
> but can't understand how that's even possible when working out on gym daily...

Fasting while working out is actually a common practice and has been used for a while. I myself tried it 3 months during the end of last year with outstanding results (dropped fat faster than ever).

My eating window was from 3pm to 9pm. Training from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. Only Tea and Coffee while fasting. I plan to get back to a fasting routine (6 months) starting in March.

> > "When the dishes are clean, we can talk."

> That's addressing a very different issue.

That's the generic answer to people who won't cleanup after themselves. Room setup and tool positions are a bit abstract but everyone understands dirty dishes. And everyone recognizes the type of person who always tries to play the X-card (religion in this case) to avoid cleaning up after themselves.

There's always some esoteric reason why they and their activities are special, but relating it to dishes usually cuts through the special and gets to the mundane - nobody wants to pick up after you to use the space.
I noticed them a while back, but I'm happy with Intercom. They're good people.
Human men are pretty similar to human women, whales are kind of different. So the number of cells alone is quite a good way to differentiate men and women, not so much humans and whales.
Good point, my judgment was mainly based on engineers being overworked/underpaid.

Re trying to capitalize... I want to contribute to the discussion, since the time seems right for Uber to actually listen.
As a man myself it is pretty crazy to me how many men will ignore health problems to avoid going to the doctor. I am in the UK so it doesn't even cost me anything.

Yet I have had male colleagues laugh/take the piss out of me for going to the doctor. Yet I think I am the only male in the office who doesn't have some kind of chronic (or close to it) condition at 32. It seems everyone at work has back pain or some other chronic pain because they ignored it when it could have been solved easily. Now some of them need surgery for trapped nerves or slipped discs but don't treat it still! Stupidity IMHO.

The worst I know of is a guy I used to work with lost his testicles because he ignored pain and a lump which was cancer! He is lucky to still be alive.
No. The trademark must be registered and exist at the time the domain was registered and that the domain owner knowingly and intentionally registered the trademarked domain name.
Fowler's statement describes ongoing and systematic patterns of discrimination, retribution and harassment against and of women and its facilitation by the human resource department. The headline leads with Uber's damage control message and ignores the most serious part of Fowler's description.
I chose these simple, extreme examples to avoid being misunderstood again, because you brought up a complete straw man ("You're saying don't practice until we're 100% sure they're beneficial?") when I said nothing of that sort, so I assumed you might have a certain proclivity for misunderstanding things. Looks like I was right.

Needless to say, I am not conflating yoga and slavery, just highlighting that both were prevalent millennia ago, thus demonstrating that this fact alone is not strongly indicative of something being good.
I wanted a "total total" and calculated it. For the curious: $17,593.10.

Obviously not all months are equal, but that's about $517.45 per month.

I believe one of the hardest elements here is to battle with the incentives of those that publish such news. In effect a "crowd" based approach could help to distinguish signal from noise, that said, fake-new publishers will inevitably use bot-nets to counter act any crowd-based check.

Aside from human curation by a trusted group - which is extremely expensive - the only solution I can think of is a share-profit system to be implemented in already trusted news services and brands, so that more people can monetize their news articles. That way, you can use existing journalists to validate all news, and their brand to distribute, while providing incentives to niche-authors.

Any technological solution like the ones you are describing 1-3 can be attacked.
It is absurd. They don't think "We don't hire and retain enough women to get a bulk discount on their gear.", they think "Their fault for being a woman."
Collect data, well the A group has 10x as much cancer, now it is about 10 times less ridiculous.

This should be about right.
Looks nice, but I'd never not pay for a service because you're paying somehow, or the service won't be around for long.
Find out as much as you can about your city's regulations. In Madison, WI if your conduit is 3" or larger the city can take ownership of it if they want with zero compensation for the cost you spent to build it out. They will reuse it for utilities, traffic lights, etc. You can still use it, but they own it.
That'd be great! Shoot me over an email: chris (at) nepafiber.com

Having to open one app is in general better than opening two. One of my favorite use of whatsapp is as a Notes App. I have just created a group with only me as member and dump all my notes / to-do in there. Delete when no longer required. No need to have another app for another purpose. It serves well.

So, I agree with you completely that consciousness is a function of a living brain, where "living brain" is the physical substrate. I don't know if it follows that consciousness has to be probabilistic.

The reason that I brought up Chalmers is that he, and others, will say that physical states don't map to subjective consciousness or qualia. Don't get me wrong, I'm much more of a "physicalist" in this regard. I'm not trained and I don't work in the field, but I can't help but think that humans overestimate the complexity and capabilities of consciousness. I think that there is a brain and, like you say, there is some function of it that results in consciousness. I think that we end up with a problem of definitions because the thing that Chalmers et al are describing, I think, doesn't exist. BUT if we are talking about the thing that Chalmers an co are talking about, then no...I don't see a way that you get to qualia and consciousness from protein.

I'm kind of rambling. Sorry, it this isn't very coherent.
In that case, your comment stands and it seems like a hell of a tough market.
In most circumstances, if you ignore the boss' instructions and publicly ridicule them and the organization as a whole, your job is at risk.

This is exactly the sort of thing we need to test the limits of robotic vehicles. Nothing spurs innovation like intense competition.

Also think it would be cool if the cars could get points for touching other cars (without crashing, of course) or faking them out with optical distractions or anything else.

Or unleash more obstacles that cars have to avoid or lose points. Fake babies crawling on to the track and such.

Presumably the same mechanism which makes the immune response more effective against cancers makes autoimmune diseases more common.

Similarly, some influenza strains are particularly deadly to healthy people, though they are killed by their own hyperactive immune response.
Aha, makes sense. Thanks!
That's something I'm curious about, too. I haven't done much research on it except to say I've used it a few times with no noticeable impact and some others are doing mesh networks. I was just curious if OP had done any research or analysis of that option.
I can't stand those, they don't fit my hand at all. Vastly prefer the M500.
Depends where you are. Before Brexit, 58 pounds was about $90. I pay about $110 for 150/150 symmetric fiber + TV + phone in Maryland.
Except everything we've ever heard out of Uber makes her story extremely believable.

If Uber weren't run by a bunch of assholes doing their damnedest to act like assholes at every opportunity then maybe we could all stop and be careful to wait for the results of the investigation. There was a six month period where their entire executive team kept causing self-inflicted wounds to the point that investors had to tell them to shut up and stop talking.

You get the benefit of the doubt initially, yes. Uber long ago tossed that benefit in a dumpster, lit the dumpster on fire, then nuked the whole town from orbit.
So long, Stack Overflow
We do have some examples of this kind of structure in the US - for example, in Manhattan, NYC, a company called "Empire City Subway" has maintained general telecommunications conduit an a license from the state for over a hundred years. http://www.empirecitysubway.com/

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is rare here.
The household has been stove-shopping since late November. I've discovered a few things:

1. A major manufacturer and appliance dealer have managed to deliver 3 DOA appliances.

2. There are no gas stovetop/oven combinations which don't have electronic controls. Certainly nothing for less than $3,000 (and the budget is about 1/6 - 1/2 that).

3. It is oh so easy to screw up a design with a simple oversight. The GE oven that has no externally-activateable oven light. Range tops which lack a center-cross support -- this limts the minimum-sized pot you can use, including the oft-cited-here Moka pot, which sees more use than any other cooking utensil in the house.

4. Manufacturers are apparently putting zero thought into how they package their products, both in terms of styling and shipping. The model we've looked at (otherwise among the better ones available per numerous ratings) has a thin sheet-steel back behind which, at a depth of < 1cm, is a printed circuit board managing the exhaust circulation system. Two units have arrived with dents over this element.

5. Solid-state touch controls work ... until they don't. All are placed either directly above the oven, or directly above the oven exhaust. I'm curious as to what thermal-cycling protection or durability is engineered into these.

This for something whose basic conceit is to get hot when you want it to.

I'm thinking through where stoves reached their apex. I'm thinking that electric spark-light gas range was about it. Everything since has added to complexity with very, very minor increases in delivered utility.
Yes, you are incorrect in the context of this article. You should read it.
Meh, for C2000, it can be also a sign of outdated firmware. We don't get microcode updates for SoCs in the general distribution: either your system vendor does a good job of keeping up with firmware updates, or you are screwed.
The implication is womens' immune system is more trigger happy, which would make cancer in women less common.
Well, for instance, some amount of power to bargain for better treatment and basic protections, like say a healthy/safe workplace where you don't have to worry about being harassed by a superior and then ignored by HR.

Right now, companies like Uber can treat workers poorly -- apparently at a policy/organizational level even -- because the only thing they feel they have to fear is a bit of bad PR. No one has these workers' backs. HR is concerned with protecting the company. And the workers likely don't have the time, money nor stamina to fight a huge corporation with a lawsuit.

That's why workers need to band together to look out for one another. The deck is already stacked against them.

Literally nothing has happened?

* Within the first week of his Presidency, a de facto Chinese government press organ threatened military action against the USA.

* Legal US residents were detained and turned back at US borders, as a result of an executive order of questionable constitutionality.

* Trump has challenged the legitimacy of US courts and judges, and threatened to remove them from power.

* Trump has declared all the country's major news agencies as enemies of the people. Maybe you have trouble understanding just how serious an accusation that is.

* Having been threatened with a 20% import tax and after the scrapping of the TPP, Mexico as one of the US' major trade partners is scrambling to improve its trade relations with China and other countries that are not the US.

* Trump has fired one of his advisors over allegations of treason he called fake. Whatever the truth is, Trump put himself in the wrong in this matter.

That's an astonishing set of mis-achievements for just a month in office.
There have also been new (mostly stupid) legislation, at least in EU that has forced Stihl and others to make worse products (cutting down emissions, and at the same time power).

I only recommend Stihl Professional series (with metal bodies). Husqvarna's are usually equally good (it is mostly that Stihl has the best model in some class, while Husqvarna has a better model in some other class). Partner Chainsaws were also pretty respected, but Husqvarna bought them. New Stihls may feel a bit plastic, but in practice they do their job pretty nicely.

What comes to power tools, Hilti is the one to look at, although I did go with Bosch power tools (Bosch is pretty average in every sense, but also trustworthy). It is easier to buy Bosch (Blue Series) than Hiltis. I also do like the stackable Sortimo L-BOXXes that Bosch uses these days: http://www.sortimo.com/products/cases-boxxes/.
Definitely, but they keep it pretty vague. I'm assuming they're not just counting felonies, but also maybe someone who had some minor incident when they were a teenager.
