Let's see whether the eHang really goes life in Dubai this year.

The Volocopter has had unmanned and manned test flights since last year, and is on track to be certified by German authorities next year - looks quite promising.

Achilles heel, of course, is battery life, but this 2x model seems to have a quick-swap battery - that makes a lot of sense.
We've known for a while that octopuses are surprisingly intelligent. Great read: https://orionmagazine.org/article/deep-intellect/

I'm actually really enjoying the DooM (2016) multiplayer now that they've polished it up a little. It reminds me a lot of original DooM deathmatches with a few little updates like Freeze Tag from when the DooM source went open and stuff like ZDoom popped up.

I use ROS heavily and also a core contributor but I personally I do not like using Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi's for it. However this is the first time I'm hearing of Ubuntu Core so maybe I'll give it a go. My preferred method is Gentoo Linux with an external build bot that updates the images etc.
Not sure about octopus, but dolphins do get high on pufferfish - http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/dolphins-seem-to-us...

"Pufferfish produce a potent defensive chemical, which they eject when threatened. In small enough doses, however, the toxin seems to induce "a trance-like state" in dolphins that come into contact with it"

Nope. This is the realm of questionably and marginally viable products. Most experienced engineers are already working 40+ hours a week at high paying jobs, so we're talking about a the scraps of their spare time, and even that often comes with strings attached(experimental tech stacks, glacial delivery pace, etc.) Maybe add some time from marginal engineers(students, self taught no experience, overseas contractors). That's the supply. Demand often has no clue about tech, particularly custom software development, and often a very modest budget both in terms of cash and risk tolerance. That leads to two attempted solutions. The first is ODesk, which often fails and discourages further attempts. The second is entrepreneurship...engineers trying to find a problem that is solvable and felt by several hundred affected people/companies who they can actually manage to contact and sell to. This is a sales/marketing problem that most of us tend to ignore or fail at, especially those of us doing side projects where a major goal is playing with interesting tech. There's plenty of money being made in both solutions, but it's not the easy money people tend to think it is.
Crowding means the bus is taking less time than everyone riding cars would. Too many people inside a bus doesn't slow you down the way too many cars on a road does.

Extra stops could be solved if drivers knew ahead of time who was at what bus stop - of course, saving time this way means you can't have a schedule anymore.
I do hope they are successful, although I realize that one possible outcome is that in an effort to pay the creators the studios/distributors raise the price of the content by 25% rather than shift balance of payments.

At some point, individual creativity is the the 'job' that will be automated last, if at all. It will be useful to be able to make a living wage at it in the future.

W2 Scam targets US defense contractors
As someone who has done countless side projects (check them out here: http://www.reza.codes) I suggest taking out "making money" as a variable and focus on things that interest you or something that stems from a personal need.

The satisfaction you get from these side projects will come from being able to finish them as opposed to try and make money from them. When you try to take on a side project with the goal of making money, you'll end up sinking way too much time in marketing and reaching out to possible customers as opposed to building something (which I find to be more fun and rewarding).

And the time you spend on trying to get people to sign up or even try your product doesn't have the same returns in satisfaction as building it. (my opinion of course)
this is pretty cool. where did you pull this data from? is it publicly available?
More detail on this: in a browser's current usage model, this is vulnerable to a 'cache origin confusion attack'. See this thread [1]. It's a bit hard to follow, so perhaps see these posts [2][3], which state the problem succinctly. Let me adapt the text from [3]:

The problem is that www.victim.example/evil.js doesn't exist, and never did, but your browser won't know that if it's in the cache -- this gives you a way of faking files existing on other servers at the URL of your choice, and as long as they're in the cache you'll get away with it.

and from [2]:

0. evil.example hosts evil.js, <script src=evil.js integrity=foo>.

1. you visit evil.example and the browser stores evil.js with the cache key "foo".

2. you visit victim.example which has an XSS vulnerability, but victim.example thinks it is safe because it uses Content Security Policy and does not allow inline scripts or scripts form evil domains.

3. the XSS attack is loading <script src=www.victim.example/evil.js hash=foo>

4. the browser detects that "foo" is a known hash key and loads the evil.js from cache. Thinking that the file is hosted on victim.example - when the file is in fact not even present.

5. the evil.js script executes in the context of victim.example, even though they use a Content Security Policy to prevent XSS from being exploitable.

I used to love eating octopus particularly in sashimi form or nigiri, after learning more about their intelligence and behaviours I find my self increasingly unable to eat them... While I understand why I have developed this response in respect to a relatively intelligent animal... it's a shame because they really are so damn tasty. In other words I totally get the dolphins.
Thanks; this is what I was trying to say. I believe most, if not all, humans appreciate privacy and would value it over a lack of, given a clear and obvious choice.

Interesting points I took from the paper[1]:

* They actually started deploying them in 2015, they're probably already hard at work on a new version!

* The TPU only operates on 8-bit integers (and 16-bit at half speed), whereas CPU/GPUs are 32-bit floating point. They point out in the discussion section that they did have an 8-bit CPU version of one of the benchmarks, and the TPU was ~3.5x faster.

* Used via TensorFlow.

* They don't really break out hardware vs hardware for each model, it seems like the TPU suffers a lot whenever there's a really large number of weights and layers that it must handle - but they don't break out the performance on each model individually, so it's hard to see whether the TPU offers an advantage over the GPU for arbitrary networks.

The tricky part is handling things like hover states and pseudoelements. I think scoped CSS and shadow DOM (and other new techniques) will probably be the key to making this work long-term.
I doubt they care about their image. Microsoft has traditionally acted in a very monopolistic - sometimes almost solipsistic - manner. In recent years they've broadened their approach a bit, but NIH syndrome is going to be a key part of their culture for a long time.

They may not have even considered that "telemetry" might hurt their image (or profits). Even on HN we regularly see people complaining that they cannot switch to a different OS. Technical solutions sometimes help but MS probably assumes that most people will submit to the lockin. Image doesn't matter when most people are tied to the platform. When games are enough to tie people to Windows, MS can do whatever they want.
I think this (and other examples) show that if you want to make money in creative jobs, you need to be the distributor, or negotiate for a big advance. A percentage of profits is basically not going to pay out -- actually this seems like the same thing as startup pay: negotiate on salary, because you're actually going to get that.
If only fuel cost was the major part of the cost of car transport, or bus transport... Or even significant. As it is, it seems to be between 5 and 10% of total cost.

For example, taking RATP as example (serving Paris Metro Area), in 2015 energy costs where 191 M€(http://rapportannuel2015.ratp.fr/assets/pdf/fr/rapport-finan... page 126) while personnel cost where 2 587 M€...

yeah that was my experience with a few hackathons too, it wasn't at all what I expected. And a powerpoint presentation with static HTML pages got a prize in that one as well.

I usually go to get in the zone with some new technologies around like minded people, and not really about the theme of the hackathon itself. A lot of hackathons have tons of tertiary prizes and networking opportunities.

Unlike other places with a tech scene, Silicon Valley has an industry that caters to unskilled and wannabe programmers that aren't currently into programming at all. Hackathons, Meetups and the coding schools are at the center of that. So you shouldn't expect actual deep technology discussions at those particular things, you will be underwhelmed.
Ask HN: What do you want?

I think "team fit" as you've described is probably the most important factor for me. But it's a really tough thing to interview for / create within a team.

I had a coworker who could be described as a 'social butterfly', someone who can talk to anyone for hours on end and make them feel comfortable. They would spend half an hour with each interview candidate, not asking any technical questions, but just having a friendly conversation. Then they would give a 'yes/no' opinion of whether we should hire the candidate. All of their preferred hires were very successful and fit in with the team. It was remarkable. Some people are just excellent at reading others. Most people really aren't sadly.
I doubt that. There are huge batches experiments (performed by zoologists) experimenting the limits of octopus intelligence. Some have demonstrated that their tentacles have some limited brain power on their own, being able to perform some limited reasoning and problem-solving when isolated from the central brain.
Unfortunately, I think libsodium remains a categorically better answer for this problem.
oh, I did not mean to be sarcastic, just to point out that the state of these frameworks don't matter that much when they are not used on the main platform where people write UI in java.

As for the lack of Swing/JavaFx on Android, I don't know if there is an official reason.

It could be that Google only wanted to take the language and replicate everything else in order to avoid lawsuits.

Another option (and they are not exclusive) is that you take a lot of cruft with you when you integrate something like Swing.

Also, widgets like RecyclerView are really complex and do some deep optimizations like pre-binding views when the ui thread is idle. Having ownership of this part of the stack in order to make it evolve might have been considered worth the development cost.
Being at least a mile from your nearest coworker, preferably hundreds or thousands of miles and not having to work unpaid overtime (slave labor). To be fair, the latter is by definition included in the former if you have any kind of sense and self-respect. That literally solves 99% of work problems. The other 1% is communication. I didn't say it was perfect.
From what I understand, no. The only thing that compresses is the air inside your lungs, but you keep on breathing in & out pressure compensated air, so the buoyancy difference doesn't change as you go down. Neoprene compression has a fairly large effect, pounds worth of buoyancy. Look at this spreadsheet for example, at depth you lose 11.6 pounds of buoyancy due to the neoprene compressing: https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/the-ultimate-wi...
Right so can't I just add one then? Most vm setups I might have a default route to the other VM running tor but I can still talk to e.g 192.168.0.1 even if I'm not putting traffic through it.

Is this some kind of 'vm specific' virtual network which can't talk on the real lan? Is that implemented on the hypervisor?
Looking at the analysis of the article one of the big gains of this is that they have a Busy power usage of 384W which is lower than the other servers while having performance that is competitive with the other methods (although only restricting to inference).
Creators vs. Maintainers.

There are some people who really enjoy the Maintainer role, and will not enjoy being on a Creator team, and vice versa. It's always important to know which you are, so you don't find yourself going crazy or facing a skills mismatch.
Here's Hayek's formal paper on a lot of these ideas:

http://philrsss.anu.edu.au/sites/default/files/Philosophical...

Nick Beckstead once told me informally that new philosophical ideas can usually be classified as one of these: arguments (in the sense of formal logic, with premises and conclusions), examples (e.g., intuition pumps), and distinctions (e.g., normative vs. positive statements).
Whenever I read or hear a philosophy professor teaching about fallacies, I always look at their examples.

And whenever their examples all spring from a consistent worldview (e.g. they all debunk liberal ideas or conservative ideas or religious ideas or anti-religious ideas), it raises my eyebrows, because it makes me suspect that they're more interested in defending their worldview than they are in teaching logic.

But when someone presents example arguments that are inconsistent with one another, perhaps debunking an anti-religious argument first, then debunking a religious argument, then I know that they're primarily concerned with teaching, rather than indoctrinating.

I won't say which camp I think Prof. Hájek falls into with this Aeon piece, but let's just consider this suspicion of consistent-worldview examples another tool in the philosopher's toolkit of critical thinking.

I disagree. I, and millions of others, participate in the regular Steam survey which sips up quite a lot of my information. I do this because I don't mind and want to help steam and video game devs understand the PC gaming world. All MS has to do is replicate this system. Ask me to do this. Tell me what you collect. Done. That's it.

Nadella has a lot to learn from Newell and his crew. The "fuck consumers" attitude MS had during the Gates years, unfortunately, continues with Nadella's management. He never become the reformer we thought he would and the depressing part is that it would be very easy to implement these consumer friendly features and as I wrote, have already proven to be a success.

As far as I am aware no one has ever made a proper holographic game, as in a game with parallax on the display.

Most true holographic displays are still under lab conditions with high power lasers, expensive optics and precision setup. Maybe someone at a lab has hacked together a game of sorts though.

You could probably create a sort of holographic game with a lenticular display. You would have slight parallax with a couple of views, it would be quite rudimentary though but a fun project.

That reaction is exactly why many companies don't disclose this kind of thing at all. It's better to remain opaque than walk into a bad pr cycle for performing a basically good deed (increasing transparency).

This whole thread is somewhat disheartening, actually. Devs - especially ones developing against a broad hardware ecosystem - need feedback from the field to surface problems. That need must be balanced against privacy.

A golden hope would be an open standard for collection and anonymized storage of telemetry data. It's likely difficult to say exactly what is needed from one os to the next though, once you get into the technical details of what needs to be monitored for useful debugging of major subsystems... So seems far fetched.
These are terrible. Not because they don't test knowledge of scala, but because language trivia is a terrible way to identify a quality candidate.
