india and africa will be china in 20 years. this is the market that tesla is fighting for a fraction of, not the other way around. you're out of your mind.

people like cars. people will spend an irrational amount of money on their cars. they don't give a shit if it pollutes, or kills people, or doesn't because it drives itself sometimes. the trends show this, decade after decade. guess what? teslas pollute also. how many tons of CO2 was emitted extracting all of the rare earths and other super toxic shit that makes a tesla?

i'm sure tesla will be super successful. the rest of the brands aren't going anywhere either. and toyota was the first tesla. look at the prius figures. someone will do it again with electric cars. it won't just be tesla. you can't be serious if you think that.
Why are threads like this allowed on HN?

Surely joke threads like this, intending to rip-off and poke fun at "Who's Hiring" threads are against HN guidelines, no?

Does the community actually find these threads useful or are they mainly a way for people to collect upboats?

I could see a more effective solution being embedded chassis intrusion meshes.

Disrupt the meshes in any way (EG drilling) would result in three actions.

1) Electronic erase MOST programmable memory in the machine. (Brick it)
2) Engage something akin to an EMO (Emergency Machine Off)
3) If an uplink of some sort exists, broadcast repeatedly on it that such an event occurred and the current uptime.
Ten Steps to Successful Open Source Crowdfunding
A look back on the golden age of Atari gaming
One of the successes of Unix was because of free and open source software. One part of that in a biological setting is free/libre data. Efforts like the Harvard Personal Genome Project [1], Open Humans [2] and OpenSNP [3] are trying to provide researchers and the community as a whole with free/libre data so that research isn't done in silos or walled gardens.

CRISPR is pretty exciting but we also need to make sure there's a rich commons to build on. I encourage everyone to look into and support projects that make free/libre genomic data more available.

I learned it, and I wouldn't call it "useful" by any means. If you appreciate theory and elegant mathematical constructs, go ahead and learn it, but you're not going to become a better programmer or anything like that in practice.
The way I see it is, just as in Object Oriented design patterns, category theory are the design patterns of functional programming. It just so happens that the mathematicians got there first and gave everything greek names.
I don't see much support for these claims. He's been in office for two months, so we lack any real data and can't make claims about his impact. Almost certainly, the prior government (President and Congress) has much more impact on current conditions. For example, consider this point in Obama's Presidency, when the Great Recession had begun a couple months before he was elected; conditions on April 3, good or ill, were mostly the responsibility of his predecessor.

The claims about his motives and thinking are speculative; it would be hard to find evidence of them. Even the things he says about himself often turn out to be unreliable. Certainly we can speculate on many other motives and interests, but I don't think that's useful.
Not really:

"Quicksilver (liquid metallic mercury) is poorly absorbed by ingestion and skin contact. Its vapor is the most hazardous form. Animal data indicate less than 0.01% of ingested mercury is absorbed through the intact gastrointestinal tract, though it may not be true for individuals suffering from ileus. Cases of systemic toxicity from accidental swallowing are rare, and attempted suicide via intravenous injection does not appear to result in systemic toxicity,[25] though it still causes damage by physically blocking blood vessels both at the site of injection and the lungs. Though not studied quantitatively, the physical properties of liquid elemental mercury limit its absorption through intact skin and in light of its very low absorption rate from the gastrointestinal tract, skin absorption would not be high.[32] Some mercury vapor is absorbed dermally, but uptake by this route is only about 1% of that by inhalation.[33]"

True. That's why publicly-owned mass construction needs to be a thing.
Heap | Software Engineer | San Francisco | REMOTE https://heapanalytics.com/jobs

Heap is building analytics infrastructure for web and mobile. Unlike other tools, which require you to manually instrument code, Heap captures all user actions automatically, and then lets you answer questions retroactively. Instead of writing a bunch of new tracking code every time you want to answer a question, the data is already in Heap waiting to be analyzed.
As an engineer at Heap, you will work on our in-house distributed system that ingests billions of events a week and processes queries over 100s of terabytes of data in seconds. To learn more about our distributed system, see our talks at PGConf [1] or our recent blog post on how we index our data [2].

We have a small eng team made up of 13 engineers, nine in San Francisco, and four scattered around the globe.
Our interview process consists of a one hour technical phone interview, a three hour takehome problem, and a full day onsite in which you'll build a fake-but-plausible Heap feature.

We enjoy talking to everyone who interviews, so please apply: https://heapanalytics.com/jobs

Not good. Appears that they may be heading towards civil war. The last thing we want is another civil war and further destabilization of Latin America.
Exactly.

Maybe poor people will take the robocab from hell, with sick on the floor. Most people will not.
From what I read, they applied 2 years in a row, and nothing happened. From the link it's not really clear what happened.

> we didn't really see enough return in terms of new developers to the project.

It's not clear in just this context what the author means. Were they looking to add significant numbers of full-time contributors? If so, I don't really think that's what GSoC is about. Isn't GSoC geared towards smaller projects that can nominally be completed in a student's summer break?

I mean, seems to me that expectations on the 2 sides are different: OpenBSD was looking to recruit full-time (I don't mean full-time in the 40-hours a week sense, but rather year-round part-time contributors) vs GSoC looking to fund individual efforts on OSS projects for 3-4 months during summer break.

Am I misunderstanding?
I see, so there are others that also support my argument (having been in Shanghai, I can definitely tell you that China's roads are sometimes questionable, the very erratic driver behavior that is the norm even more so). The Pennsylvania crash I was referring to in particular was this one:

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/07/07/police-investigati...

Thankfully, it does look like the PA one wasn't fatal after all though. For what it's worth, Tesla also directly and very publicly disputes the driver's own personal account by claiming that autopilot wasn't enabled during the crash.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think the vast majority of people DON'T know the right people.
Every time I've studied Category Theory I've later found a better, simpler, easier to understand, cleaner approach to doing the same thing, perhaps with a little mutation.

And then there's languages like Eff that completely remove the need for stuff like monads: http://math.andrej.com/eff/

So yeah, for me it's been more-or-less a waste of time reading up on this stuff.

Just saying 40-70k is pretty low. Is that all the BBC has to spend on it's hiring budget?
Its true, but if you've applied before I strongly recommend applying again, we've definitely had applicants who have been accepted on the second/third try.
Note that having a job seems necessary though. Maybe it's a case of the golden mean? On one side you have people whose job absorbs all leisure. On the other you have some who draw sufficient income without having a job at all. These are Marx's infamous "coupon clippers", and historically they're not as prominent in intellectual history as people with undemanding jobs (personally I'm not aware of many philosophers / scientists who were rentiers). If leisure was the only variable, we'd expect people with guaranteed incomes (annuities, for example, have been sold since the Middle Ages) to have been the most prolific thinkers of history.
Its always been something I've thought about briefly before going about my day, never really in any depth.

What do you think the reason is? My thought is, not many people complain loudly so why invest the resources in an overhaul. If it ain't _totally_ broke why rock the boat kinda thing.

That or the engineers build the frontend ;-)

It certainly can be, and in this case it was. The GWB administration kept ignoring evidence and demanding new evidence until finally evidence could be manufactured that fit their policy goals. (This isn't a partisan judgment, since this tragedy was repeated as farce in the lead-up to the Democrat Party's war in Libya. Still, leaving the Libyans to their own devices after the horrible meaningless unprovoked war has probably been better for everyone than what we've done instead in Iraq.)

I think you're exactly right. Once cars can drive themselves to destinations, it becomes so much easier to get by with one dedicated family car, supplemented with car sharing services.

For example:
Mom takes service to work, possibly carpooling. Dad takes uses family car to drop off kids and goes to work. Car drives itself to mom's work for her to use to pick up kids and commute home. Dad takes service home. Or whatever. The point is kids can always be in the car with the extra diapers, with safety features parents want, etc.

The other part of this that people ignore is that a car sharing service could open up a lot of flexibility. For example, maybe our dedicated family car is just a sedan, but on this particular weekend with the grandparents in town, we can use the car sharing service to get a minivan and have everyone ride together. Or I want to pick up a piece of furniture and request a truck from the service. Or it's my anniversary, and I can request a luxury sedan to drive us to the restaurant for a touch of opulence. I'm sure there are many other examples people can think of.

Like you say, car sharing won't cover everyone's need, especially at first, but eventually, the big players in the space will have enough sophistication to cover many cases, especially for a second car.

The employer was taking the check back immediately in exchange for cash. He may never have cashed those checks, but used a different check or transfer mechanism to repay himself (or the cash could've been the company's to begin with). Handing the checks to the employees, as part of a tax dodge, could've been just enough action to appear legitimate to the people working for him, but the trail could easily end with him since all he had to do was burn those checks afterwards.
If you're on the fence about it, and are looking for things you can "drop into" your existing programming experience, I don't think you should spend any significant time on it, over just studying idioms of a programming language directly.

I think if folks are interested, they should investigate CT for it's own sake (it is interesting mathematically) and not for some expected payoff.

I will say that though I only have a basic understanding, I at least acknowledge that go far with it seem to be more comfortable with how "things can be embedded in other things" and "prove compositional properties" at least in certain carefully constructed situations.
Marquee Offerings Help Bring Life Back to IPO Market
Truth. I sat down with Ford exec group last week (Fontinalis is an investor in the company I work for) and they explained all their ideas. Most of them are excellent, very few of them are related directly to cars, and I don't expect they will start talking about them for quite some time. Long Ford. :)
I recall this guys blog, he seems a bit boastful, but it seems like a decent response to this question.

There is a cost involved with onboarding/offboarding employees which is a common reason why this tactic isn't used. Between the time spend spooling someone up on your internal processes, completing required HR tasks, requisitioning equipment, etc it often makes it a pain to go with the hire/fire quickly method. I'm sure you could build your business around it, but at that point you might need to look at the moral of the company.

Also, if you fire someone in California they will likely file for unemployment which means your UI reserve account requirements might go up.
So, to unpack this a bit, the elephant in the room is that Banks still wait days for a check to clear (hello BOA) when we obviously have the technology to check (no pun intended) if a cheque is valid incredibly quickly.

So people who lesser means resort to gift cards, amazon cash, etc.

I didn't learn CT in school, but I got comfortable with the functional programming version of it during a few years of writing Haskell-flavored Scala on a team.

To me, the main value in learning FP CT is becoming handy at recognizing more of the patterns underlying the code I've been writing and working on for ages.

Consider the GoF Design Patterns book -- if you haven't been programming very long, many of the patterns might look odd or needless, but the more code you work on, the more you start to recognize the patterns as applied in real life.

Category theory for programming is like that, plus with some added formalism that proves how it's safe/possible to compose these patterns.
