No pedestrian recognition or accident avoidance system is going to be 100% effective. But now we have the opportunity to apply to motoring what we have done to aviation: every rare fatality and the situation that led up to it can be analysed in depth to prevent recurrence.
One step further than that, we need to know what traits are common among the people in that 66%. I'm confident it's not just random. I suspect some fairly simple things like graduating high school, maintaining full time employment, and not having children out of wedlock have massive impact on your economic outcome.

Popular theories that investing in indexes is the best possible strategy are not self-sufficient. If there were no active traders, then nobody would trade individual stocks. In this case, there would be no indexes to invest.

So markets stay in permanent equilibrium where active and passive investors are balanced out. More precisely, if there were too many active traders, it would be attractive to become a passive investor since markets are very efficient. If there were too few active traders, it would be attractive to become an active investor since markets are not very efficient.

Yet despite of this simple truth, I constantly hear from seemingly serious people that only index investing is worth doing (i.e. random walk theories pop up regularly in the press).

Beating index should be hard because it's a competition! And everybody is not supposed to be winner.
That is just... sad. Don't know if she's American, but Americans have a HUGE problem with food. The US was never a country with any unified culinary history. The culinary traditions that came with immigrants and slaves largely stayed in those communities and didn't leech out into the culture at large in their original and tasty forms. We've ended up with a culture of bastardized and homogenized factory foods.

It's not obvious how an errant piece of large, heavy, machinery could kill someone?

There's a software bug in one of my tractors (not John Deere) where it won't always immediately disengage the clutch when put in gear (yes, even the transmission is fully computerized). One time during a long day in the field I accidentally left it in gear, not noticing because the tractor was at a full stop with no signs of moving. A few minutes after I got out of the cab it decided to kick in. Luckily it was in a low gear and I was able to safely get it stopped, but it's easy to see how that could have ended up tragic. While that one was ultimately my error, without that bug it wouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

I'm sure you can come up with arguments as to why that software shouldn't exist – although I have to say it's wonderful when it works – but it's easy to see why bugs can be dangerous.

BWAHAHAHAAA! No.. :(

At my current job, I've been waiting on a software install request (you know, just an IDE, a small thing) since early February. Coding in Notepad++ till then (w00t). Been waiting on a RAM upgrade (stuck at 4GB) for... well, since I started back in October.

Programming as a job sucks. Can I do something else and just keep coding as a hobby (at home, where I have decent tools and don't have to ask permission for every $%@! little thing)?

What's the point of caring deeply about the Great Barrier Reef if the only offered solution is to accept that I can never visit it? That's selfish, of course, but so is demanding that others curtail their lifestyles so some faraway coral you care about doesn't disappear.

Frankly, the "challenge" of how to convince people to live as if most of the fruits of the industrial and technological revolutions never arrived is deeply unappealing. It's also nonsense on stilts: We don't get iPhones or specialized cancer cures without the consumer economy big enough to support demand for them.

As the child of middle-class parents, I was dirt poor for a long time as an adult. That was due to bad life choices, not work ethic or job. I made enough money to live comfortably, but I squandered it. Once I made smarter life choices, my strong work ethic paid off and I finally started doing well in life. Always had the strong work ethic, I just made dumb decisions.

The US has a such an anti-government attitude that the Republican Party becomes the majority party instead of being laughed out of Congress. A party whose members frequently advocate cutting healthcare for the poor, reducing education budgets, scaling back environmental policies, etc.
I've been following the development of this for quite a while, and one feature that is not erm, featured, is that the actual emulator itself is composed of isolated modules. This means that it's possible to swap out say, the graphics implementation to do a high definition drawer, or substitute the processor with a plain Lua script - essentially, it turns the Gameboy itself into a library! This could be used to make higher-level ROM hacks and patches without needing to know the nitty-gritty of the whole system.
I feel like the phrase "working hard" should be changed to "providing the most value." But that sounds mean to people who don't make much money while probably "working hard."
This. Slavish fetishization of a specific code coverage target is indicative of an underlying problem, IMO and that problem is far greater than one having relatively low code coverage.

It is far better IMO to go in with an understanding of where your potential hot spots are than simply adding a test to everything. Sure, in an ideal world we'd have 100% coverage of everything but this field is about tradeoffs and sometimes writing tests simply isn't worth the time it takes to have written them in the long run.

The system doesn't reward hard work, it rewards good ideas. One properly executed good idea is enough to move you quite far on the ladder. Sadly people over commit their time and live stressful lives. To have good ideas you need relaxed idle time to study and think.
The standard also makes it possible to add CA specific limitations. The RFC shows as example how you could setup the record do that CA will only serve requests for specific customer account.

Since there's quite much competition on the field, I would assume CAs will be eager to implement these kind of value add services.

Hard work _can_ pay off. But in the USA the effects of your parents income are literally _triple_ that of Denmark:

Frankly, I'm very terrified at the prospect of being tracked in my every move and it seems entirely unavoidable. License plate scanners are already in wide deployment. There was an article on HN last week about the FBI's 100 million strong facial recognition database using peoples drivers license photos without their consent or knowledge. Not to mention the wholesale tracking of our online activities by the NSA which is already a done deal. I'm seriously thinking about leaving the US to buy myself some time. I'm not hopeful that anywhere will be safe in the end as other countries catch up with this technology. What can be done if this isn't the world you want to live in?

How tough is the new £5 note?
Fwiw 40lbs in motion produces more force than at rest. The area it is applied to (among other things) also changes how the beam handles the load. Lack tables have such simple construction that they may handle higher than usual loads without deformation; four large posts supporting a single beam pinned at the ends can handle a decent load, if the beam and posts are big enough. They might also use cheap hacks, like strengthening the bottom of the beam to account for increased tension.

Walmart has some pretty decent mdf tables for about the same price as similar ikea tables. Sometimes their construction is really good, too, such as this table[1]. It brings the posts in closer to center which distributes load better and increases load rating for the beam, and the post supports both the beam and the strut, and the strut helps reinforce the beam. Everything is brought in farther from the edge to make the effective load-bearing part of the beam smaller, which makes it stronger.

Their dressers are total shit, though, unless you pay a pretty penny for real wood.

Edit: in context, my comment didn't make sense. Never mind.
Most of us know people that worked hard for most of their lives and were not as successful as somebody who was able to secure an early exit. And vice versa, of course.

So, it is easy to conclude from personal observations and some basic first-order logic that hard work per se doesn't always pay off, to say the least.

However, figuring out things that better correlate with success, filtering out non-actionables (I can't have richer parents), turning the rest into a life strategy and executing it usually requires more advanced reasoning.
How? Why? According to what line of reasoning?

> discounting welfare issues, you can do what you want with them if you're the owner

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "discounting welfare issues". Sure, if you discount the laws that protect dogs, they're not protected, but The Animal Welfare act (2006) does exist, very much does protect dogs from people "doing what you want with them" and is enforced.

Of course, that protection is not offered at all costs. If a dog attacks a person, or invades farmland and attacks an animal, then the priority of that person/farm animal takes precedence over the dog.
Also "hard work" is easy. Sit and do some meetings to look busy

This is an amazing place; it's sort of like actually playing inside the Lord of the Rings books. The world is enormous and gorgeous. It's designed to be player vs. player (one side are the good races, like Humans, Elves and Hobbits, the other side are the evil races, such as Orcs and Trolls.)

However, evil players rarely make it west of Bree. The Shire is a big and safe Player vs. Environment area.

You're missing the point, partly because of the imprecision of language. The article is about the idea that hard work will/must pay off. Here you are, talking about the fact that hard work might/can pay off.

As a North American child, I grew up with hideously overcooked chicken and turkey from cheap supermarket freezers: the skin was always a crunchy mess of solid cellulose and burned glazes, the dark meat was a brown pile of fibrous sludge, and the dry breast meat had the only bearable taste and texture (and only after adding sauce...)

After I learned how to cook for myself, chicken became a completely different, wholy enjoyable food.

Imitation meat would be a protein altered to resemble the meat of a particular animal. This is not necessarily vegetarian, as insect protein might be altered to resemble beef. Certain types could have problems with allergens.

Cultured meat would be grown from animal cells without developing an entire, independently viable animal. This is what "vat-grown" meat would be.

Synthetic meat would be processed polymerized amino acids that are chemically and structurally similar to animal meat. This is the holy grail of meat substitutes for vegans. No living thing of any kind is killed, molested, or even inconvenienced in its manufacture (provided you don't look too closely at where the amino acids came from).

"Fake meat" would be imitation or synthetic. Cultured meat wouldn't exactly qualify as "real meat" to me, but it isn't quite "fake meat", either.

There are some trying to do this. Shawn Fanning's Helium is one of them.

I looked at Helium. Problem is that when you sell your own design and don't publish your designs and standards you become a single-source vendor.

Ask HN: Advice on Learning Interactive Machine Learning
After reading this paper called "Power to the People: The Role of Humans in Interactive Machine Learning" I'm really interested in learn more and explored this field called Interactive Machine Learning.

I'm looking for advice from people with experience or who are also learning Interactive Machine Learning.

Thanks in advance.
Agreed. The issue we seem to forget when discussing these issues is that there will always be a bottom income quintile, and that it will always be populated by a full fifth of the population (not the few deviant outlayers they make it out to be).

If just 20% of those at the bottom were already there, it means 80% fell there somehow. Imagine the economic stagnation and nasty social dynamics that would happen if (the perception of) a single mistake or transgression would ruin your life!
It's great that this can recognize pedestrians, but I've still seen no theory around decision-making. This last week, I happened upon a tree that fell into the road after a bad wind storm. I _know_ a tree when I see it, and I know it is large and heavy and difficult to move and would take a great deal of time for that to happen, so I immediately cut to a route around it. But what if it was a bus or truck turning around? Well I know that a bus turning around is large and heavy and difficult to move, but it will be moving out of the way in a moment, so I can wait for that to happen.

When are we going to start seeing methods for measuring intent or theory around guessing the future nature of an object based on contextual understanding of that object? How does a car recognizing a pedestrian help if the pedestrian starts running toward the car?

It just feels like there's a lot of patting of backs that happens around this stuff, when we really aren't even close until we have a system that has as learning and understanding approach that is as abstract as a human's.
If OP doesn't reply, can you? I'd like any insight I can :-)
Probably not any extra time than are required by your studies.
A lot of it can be learned on the job and the organisations I worked with (only in Europe, truth be told) had heavy training sessions for on-boarding. I know because I designed, developed and taught those courses.

Usually those places have a a 'full-stack' of model based systems engineers using SysML, who hand off models to the dev guys using model based development (MBD). Testing with a V-model, etc.

Defence more than automotive, but some orgs have very long project cycles (i.e. >25 years) so models provide a great benefit over simple source/docs.
It's definitely easier with a large plot of land. Iowa is largely setup on a 1 mile by 1 mile grid of roads, making plots of 640 acres. I don't know if the grid of gravel roads is common or not.

I've heard of John Deere being able to stay within about an inch of the previously traveled path on subsequent passes through the field. "Guaranteeing" you won't drive over previously planted crops and being able to customize the spraying, doing most driving autonomously,and collect yield per acre in real-time during harvesting, etc. make it a compelling solution out here.
I've heard the "smart work" mantra many times, but it's actually quite difficult to implement in practice. I've been told many times "we don't care when you come and go, we just want the tasks done", but what they usually mean is "you can't leave at 5 if the tasks aren't are done".

Because if you manage to finish the tasks early and leave at 2, they'll make sure you have enough tasks so that this doesn't happen again.
