According to the "Master Plan part 2", a "new type" of pickup is in the works. That is pretty much all that has been released at this point though.
As pointed out already, a Las Vegas algorithm might have bounded but non-deterministic time.
You seem very defensive. I was just pointing out that I don't own a car and live in the epicenter of the ride-sharing revolution, and I'd much rather go back to owning a car.

Regarding the dog, I'm just pointing out something that currently doesn't work for me. Until they fix it I don't care - right now their solution does not help me and nobody has done anything to address it.

My point is simple. Right now owning a car is better than not owning a car for me. Until that changes I will want to own a car. If you don't want to own a car then good for you - different people have different desires.
Patents aren't confidential information. In fact, that's kind of the whole point of patents.
Conflating a home and a car is a bad argument. Homes have been required for hundreds of thousands of years. Shelter has been a human need since before humanity.

Cars have not been. The earliest proto-human sought shelter from a storm. They did not seek personalized shelter during transportation.

I don't like the argument at all, and I think it's a cop out, a slippery slope argument.

>Do you AirBnB your bed (at hourly rates)? Do you AirPantsAndT your clothes? Most people don't.

This is just a very feeble slippery slope that ignores the very real differences.

Yes, clothing and shelter have been humans needs for far longer than civilization itself.

Can you say the same for micro-space in a personal transport?

Were humans owning personal space inside of pack animals 10,000 years ago?

It's a bad argument. There's no slippery slope here. Homes and clothes are fundamentally different than cars.

You cannot live a civilized life without a home and clothes. You can live a civilized modern life without a car. Obviously we approach higher order needs differently than lower order.

> If you work really hard, learn all of this stuff, and do a really good job and save your company a bunch of trouble by knowing all of this, you won't get a dime for it, and that's the problem

I think that is your problem. I don't stay in companies where I don't feel valued. And anyway you are receiving a salary every month for your work. If you think you should get more, ask for more or move to another place.

For some people security is more important, for it is not. Because I believe that in the current society the companies can fall in few years (Nokia, Canon, ...). My security lies in my knowledge and my skills, and that is something I take with me whereever I am. I recall something I read, it was like this: "A bird is not scared of a branch to break, because it lies his confidence in his skills to fly".
I regularly get notices for children's sports leagues, drugs available for pickup at pharmacy, updates to apartment rental procedures, etc. for others who believe they have my email address. All because I have a simple first.last@gmail.com address, rather than something with goofy numbers appended.
My best attempt at explaining, although this particular issue isn't one I feel all that strongly about: It's not that we're against the practical idea of a national ID card, it's that we're against giving the federal government the authority that would be necessary to mandate such a thing. We're willing to live with the inefficiency to keep federalism intact.
It's Google's best shot so far at provoking "Android is dead" rumours: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/02/15/speculation-around-g...

If Canada wanted nukes we could have nukes. CANDU reactors produce an abundance of plutonium and the technology to extract that.

The thing is if Canada had nukes then the US would treat Canada a lot differently in any potential conflict. It'd make a first strike with nuclear weapons necessary instead of something that would be massively disproportionate.
I've been reading Von Neumann's "Theory Of Self-Reproducing Automata" (freely available on Internet Archive and very much worth it!) and he constantly references and credits Turing. Nor have I ever heard anyone claim Turing's insights were sparked in a vacuum (or anyone's, for that matter ... the closest to a "lone genius" I can think of is Newton maybe? -- This is a good tangential question perhaps: who have made the most "out of thin air" discoveries in math or science?).

In NASCAR, they have another way of putting it: Save your equipment. Just because you can go as fast as you can leaving a pit stop, doesn't mean you should. You'll prematurely wear your tires. If you're constantly running at the edge of control, you're more likely to make a mistake and make contact with another car or the wall. Reign it in a bit. Run near the edge of control, but not on it, and you save your equipment, won't need to pit as often and are generally better positioned for the frantic end of the race for the win.

In the context of the article, and visiting a museum...there's no value to speed running a museum. All it does is allow you to say you were there. You've taken no time to examine any exhibit in detail, and you're unlikely to retain anything at all, or only the most superficial of details. For a good trip to a museum, you should only plan on seeing a single, or maybe two exhibits during your visit. Take your time to examine the artifacts. Read the blurbs. Take it all in. Rushing through it just to say you've been there is just a disservice to yourself, and a waste of museum resources.

One of the last times I'd been to the Field Museum in Chicago, I took my mother (who was visiting from out of town) to see the temporary Egyptian exhibit. I had been there a few weeks earlier at a private exhibition and had already spent a fair amount of time looking at it. When I went through with my Mom during the public exhibition, we saw at least 6 distinct groups go through while we were still taking our time going through (they let people in at something like 30 people at a time in timed intervals). Most of the crowd was mothers with teens & preteens that mostly and literally ran through the exhibit. What's the point of that?
Wisdom gleaned from data and behavioral economics
While I agree civil rights and pollution have almost nothing in common, civil rights and consumer rights are also pretty unrelated. The larger umbrella category encompassing them is "Pro-individual vs. pro-collective policy," which I assumed we were discoursing under because you brought up civil rights in the context of consumer rights.

Under that umbrella, one can certainly discuss tradeoffs a society makes between "Better for the individual" vs. "better for the collective" to move to somewhere the society wants to be economically. Where did "civil rights" stand when the US was employing children to operate textile machines or had no 40-hour work-week protections?
OS/2 existed for quite a while before Warp came about. Warp was IBM trying to salvage a sinking ship more than anything else.

OS/2 was to go along with the PS/2. A update on the PC platform that was much more bespoke IBM compared to the largely assembled from off the shelf parts that was the PC/AT.

1. Tesla's EVs are outselling everyone else combined, even with an average sale price that's double everyone else.

2. Tesla is partnered with Panasonic, but they're practically married with communal property. They haven't outsourced this, they've put billions into building a gigafactory. What part of "doubling global output of lithium batteries" is minuscule to you?

3. In 20 years, probably half the world's electricity will come from Solar PV. Was coal a niche market? Because this will be bigger.

4. Most other car makers are licensing systems from others, not building their own, and they don't have the self-driving hardware in any cars yet. Tesla has 10's of thousands of cars on the road right now (25k just in Q1) with their second generation system, while GM and Chrysler are still fiddling with prototypes.

If you don't see how all these things connect, then I understand your view. But when you recognize how they're all interconnected it makes complete sense to me to be building all of them at once, otherwise a failure in one dooms them all.
In any selection framework involving a salary cap, salary comparisons should be normalized for geographic location for a fairer comparison. For example, have some kind of a formula that provides a multiplier for each state, derived using median wage data, cost of living, etc.
This will be the case at virtually any firm that (a) has a lawyer either on staff or retainer and (b) works with customer private data of any sort. There won't be any leeway whatsoever from firms like these on NDAs.
Thanks for this.

This seems to be basically what I'm saying through most of the article. Bugs occur because of a gap in a mental model. To fix the gap, we need more understanding. I'm not sure I would say that's necessarily a design or architecture flaw in the software.

Unfortunately, proving things correct in most popular languages is a Very Hard Problem. I do address that to some extent in the article, though. In particular, the sorts of languages that end up being easy to prove correct tend to be difficult for people to learn. Therefore, people are likely to either learn something easier, or they are likely to write code that is "correct" or "safe" but still has logic errors. I think that there are other many valid reasons to write software, and not all of them require correctness to the extent Dijkstra would like.

But I think that's a pipe dream anyway. For one, most software is not written in formally verifiable languages, or formally verifiable dialects of popular languages. Porting all software would be impossible. Second, who defines "correct"? What about bug-compatible software, where the definition of correct is imitating something else that is known to be incorrect? What about ambiguity in specifications like JSON, or undefined behavior in C (some of which can only be detected at runtime, because we don't actually have infinite tape in our Turing machines)?

What happens when there's a bug in the runtime of your formally verifiable language? What happens when there's a hardware bug? I'm not saying these are necessarily common, but regardless of your software environment, you're running on something else that can have the same bugs. People make mistakes, even when proving things. Math is great, but people make mistakes, and our tools are still bounded by the laws of physics.

No matter which way I look at this thing, I keep coming back to teaching and understanding as the only generalizable and approachable ways to address the problems bugs. (Whether that approach is taken by proving correctness of some implementation, or post-hoc with testing and tools.)
i don't know what to tell you dude, he says stupid shit constantly and i think you should pay more attention to actual policy proposals and implementations than his idiotic tweets and context-free clickbait articles with the most hyperbolic statements that could be extracted from the record for your own sanity. if you're worried about a "pretext for genocide" i'd be way more worried about someone like duterte.
there are cringe worthy publications on the left. Huffington Post, The Young Turks, Jezebel, etc. They are hyper-partisan, screechy, shrill, unreasonable, gossipy, (nearly) empty spectacles in their own right but I don't know of a single one of them that is even halfway as far off the deep end of "motherfuckin lizard people aliens are running satanic child sex slave rings out of a pizza restaurant" that the infowars style conspiracy stuff gets into.

and Mother Jones is nowhere even on that axis. it's a higher quality publication with a deliberate (and publicly announced) editorial bias.
Sorry for further derailment but imo:

Apple sees devices as portals to the same content. Whether you currently have an iphone in your hand, a mac, the watch, an ipad, whatever, Apple sees them as interchangeable to do the work you need. So while I may be using an iphone/watch on the bus ride home, when I'm home I can grab my ipad and try to seamlessly switch what I was focused on to it.

The try is the hard part that I think they are focused on and will continue to decrease friction in the future.

I haven't read Mein Kampf and my understanding of the final solution was that it was the last of several 'solutions', most of which didn't involve genocide so is the 'desire' for a genocidal war that accurate?

Secondly, what of his twisted advisors? I think it would be fascinating to read tertiary literature of sentiment in that era and how people with those sentiments gained influence.

I've used mailtrap with great success on a Django application that I used to work on. It really is great to just change the SMTP config for the mail sending service without having to worry about adding checks for "if in testing send all emails to a particular address".

Would this service have any benefits over what mailtrap offers?
