wow...this is pretty scary.

Imagine if the video didn't have the friendly European accent and patches of green. Imagine if that was a real life scenario and the greens were a hazard.

I wonder if there are more such videos that show Tesla Autopilot freaking out. It would be an eye opener, Tesla's stock price is dependent on Autopilot among other innovations.
Delightful. Thanks so much for taking the time to write out the longer answer. I think that "pelagic rain" is what I was referring to before, but I didn't realize that the quantity was so low, or that subduction would keep it from building up in most cases. Nor, of course, did I realize all of this other great stuff.
It's shocking to me that Yahoo is worth $48b today, they've been on an inevitable decline towards irrelevance since the mid 2000s.

She took over Yahoo on July 16th, 2012 when Yahoo's stock price was ~$16. It's now trading at ~$48. That's about a 3x.

Google over the same time period has done about a 2.8x.

Microsoft over the same time period has done about a 2x.

There are 100 HUGE reasons BESIDES Marissa that we can account for their shareholder success eg (1) they were trading at a lower PE than market competitors (2) they had a huge Alibaba share that was worth more than the entire Yahoo company when she took over (3) MSFT offered ~$45b in 2008 which means their ~$46b current enterprise value is a huge 9 year failure!

BUT I think that Marissa played the critical role of "responsible adult" that gave the market a reason to let Yahoo survive as an independent.

She had a huge brand name that she lent to Yahoo, and each of the 3 reasons I list above were to the board's detriment.

If anybody should get the fuck you it should be the Yahoo leadership of the mid-2000s, and the board's leadership since then.
Utah is pretty friendly overall on account of the high Mormon population.

NYC is still smaller than the Bay Area. And if you're comparing it to the Bay you need to include Jersey/CT/LI -- where $100k will go a long way along a train line.

Well, if you don't want Google making decisions about what content is placed at the top... I'm not sure what you think Google does.
You seem to have missed the point: it's not a canonicalization format. Content-aware hashing is a more powerful alternative to canonicalization which avoids many of the problems involved in designing a canonicalization scheme.
Someone made a compelling case a few months ago that Mayer executed perfectly for what she was brought in for. Activist investors brought her in after buying the stock super low and then liquidated at the perfect time after the stock rallyied.

Regardless, objectively Yahoo failed and she bears a large share of the responsibility. Absurd reward for botching a lot of the sale, operations and core of that company. I think she tried hard but man I wish I got 9 figures for effort.
Don't forget that they killed Pipes.
> I don't think it's the same as shooting a trespasser, the theory for shooting trespassers is that they may directly pose a threat to your safety.

I really feel the need to drive this point home, for obvious reasons: there is no such theory. You CANNOT DO THIS. You cannot shoot a trespasser on your land, just because he is trespassing. There has to be something else involved like reasonable fear of imminent bodily injury. The threat cannot necessarily be implied from the mere fact that he is trespassing. (It's clearly a different case if the trespassing is happening in your field in broad daylight v. in your bedroom in the middle of the night.)

Our utility bills certainly have gone up, which we aren't thrilled with. We are considering some solar panel options to help bring our carbon footprint down. Being fully remote, I try to make up for that by not driving very much :)

Overall, the valley we live in has pretty much everything we could want, from a retail perspective.

A nice small-town grocery store about 3 mins away, and larger national chains further down the road.
The tech industry in Central Florida has grown in recent years and seems to be quite strong at present with companies like Disney, Universal, Deloitte hiring lots of tech folks, and a small but growing startup scene.

Salaries aren't going to be the same as the west coast though (obviously), and most of the senior developer roles I've seen cap out at around the $100k-ish mark. With the far cheaper cost of living though, it goes a lot further.
wasn't Microsoft (and maybe some other bidders) considering buying Yahoo for like $40B at one point prior to Mayer's era?
I think the $0.00 countries were just skipped (or missing from source data).

In Finland, using "the operator with the largest marketshare in the country, using the least expensive plan with a (minimum) data allowance of 500 MB over (a minimum of) 30 days" yields a 9.90€/month plan (Saunalahti Tarkka 1M) which has unlimited data (like most plans here).
Welcome! From another remote dev in Orlando (though not a disney pass holder... yet).
The company did not provide its workers access to bathrooms during worktime, requiring them to urinate in bottles or buckets while on the job, according to the lawsuit.

that SolarCity failed to compensate installers for travel between jobs

Zazueta also alleges he was fired by SolarCity after he refused to perform electrical work under conditions he deemed unsafe. His charge echoes Estrada’s claim that, when he worked out of the San Diego warehouse, certified electricians “would get fired if they asked too many questions.”

Do you want a union, because this is exactly how you get a union.

Frankly, I get the whole profit motive, but if your morals are so poor that you create a company with standards that would not be a fit place to bring your children up through the ranks, then you should be sued into oblivion or forced to fix it via a union.

The thing is that when it's that many, the CEO isn't the one doing it.

Also, when you fire someone I hope it's not to be cruel but for the greater good of the company that pays the other breadwinners.

I'm not saying it's easy and I get your point -- it is a really good point. Sometimes, though, to be a leader of many you have to adopt a utilitarian approach and aim for the greater good (yes there are a lot of slippery slopes).

A girl who I once dated taught me a very good lesson: when you break up with someone, it frees them to find the right person for themselves. Sometimes that same approach can work when letting someone go from his/her job. I've seen too many people who aren't good at their job being kept around because the manager couldn't bear to not be "nice". It was bad for everyone, including the person who tries so hard. One of the best essays I've read on a related subject is this:

https://qz.com/88168/how-to-hire-good-people-instead-of-nice...

A CEO or manager needs to aim to be good, not nice.
Google's self-driving cars started on highways (easier problem to tackle) before moving on to city streets.
Good on them for a fast and voluntary response. It is terrifying as a business owner for a 3rd party to effectively have the have physical responsibility while you have fiscal responsibility. Not a huge story however, this happens to every food company.
It really is a useful service. Many people have battery powered radios that include AM, FM and weather radio.

I'm not surprised that they re-use the frequencies. These are local weather stations, only intended to serve a radius of a hundred miles or so (at least here on the east coast). In addition to my local station I can receive the one in Boston, about 50 miles south of me.
I published my Chrome extension on the Chrome Web Store and wrote up a little post on Github about how I made it, then posted that to a subreddit, I can't remember if it was /google or /chrome or /webdev. Unfortunately since then I can't seem to get past ~400 users but it was a pretty good kickstart.

Did the exact same thing 10 years ago. Couldn't take living in California any more. We moved to Colorado.

* My health, both physical and mental has increased tremendously.
* Our house is far cheaper in mortgage than our apartment was.
* Schools are far better than anything in California we could afford
* Crime is almost non-existent. Most people don't lock car or house doors.
* It is rare I drive more than 8 miles on any day, no more highways for me unless I'm skiing.
* The air & water are clean, the tap water tastes better than the bottle water I used to drink.
Saving up a 10%, £40k, deposit while renting here is quite tough though, even on 70k. And most devs don't earn that much
That was actually an onerous task at first. But I bought my wife a Neato robot vacuum a few years back and it has been such a nice thing to have.
IIRC that was many years prior, like before Bing.
As a 48 year old developer with a lot of gray hair...I've never seen anyone with dyed hair where it wasn't pretty obvious. To me it makes you seem a bit desperate.
If I had the money, I'd just put a ballot measure on the ballot to raise the height ceiling for new buildings built within 2 blocks of a MUNI line to 100ft, no approval required. Also: legalize the unpermitted "in law" units.
Brings to mind the situation the SodaStream company is in in most countries: pressurized gas canisters aren't safe for untrained people to do maintenance on (e.g. refill) themselves, so it's mostly illegal to own them without a license. Thus, the company operates a 'club' that lends them to people, so that the people are never the legal property-owners of the bottles. But this allows the 'club' to be able to recall the bottle at any time, and since it's not yours, you have to comply.
From the article, it was cross contamination of whey powder which can be lactose free. IMO it's more concerning about their quality control and the fact that someone may be choosing the dairy free version for ethical reasons.
The one where you build and market something but then it turns out to be something less than expectations.

Ethic issues arise when the expectation is that the occupants will live and then your product falling short on those critical constraint.

Because when you design something for the masses, you are directly responsible for the deaths caused by your product.

This is not a matter of philosophy, from one engineer to another, it's our duty.

This is exactly what already happens in court.

Both sides are given room to make their arguments, even if the argument is "We can't really like, know anything, on a metaphysical level, can we?"

If a jury finds this convincing, you win.

The judge and lawyers will actively work to discourage such a waste of time, but if you're accused of a criminal offense and you insist on presenting this argument in court, it is your right to do so.

In the U.S., we govern by the will of the people. The jury box is important check on runaway government power (which is, unfortunately, frequently diluted).
Disclaimer: I'm starting a job at Hyperloop soon, but haven't actually been told anything about the hardware yet (I'm joining as a software dev), so this is all not-NDA-violating speculation:

I believe the cars are also pressure vessels and life support systems. My student team looked into this side of the problem last year, and making the entire ~40 ft long Hyperloop pod a pressure vessel is really tricky. The two competing forces are the obvious premium on extra mass, and the need for a large opening to load cargo into the pods.

Dealing with all the "human compatibility" problems at the scale of the cars lets you use much smaller pressure vessels (lighter), and makes loading unpressurized cargo drop dead easy.

The other big benefit is that loading the Hyperloop pods is really difficult. You'd ideally like to be launching a pod into the tube every 30 seconds or less, to get the best return on your infrastructure investment. Achieving that by walking people right up to the 40 ft vehicles and having them all file in like a commercial flight is just about impossible. With mobile sub-pods you can have a far smaller station, and just load sub-pods as they arrive into the next departing pod.
There's active research into fake memories. Currently the assumption is that witness testimonials are somewhere between completely useless and actively harmful to justice.

> Several studies have been conducted on human memory and on subjects’ propensity to remember erroneously events and details that did not occur. Elizabeth Loftus performed experiments in the mid-seventies demonstrating the effect of a third party’s introducing false facts into memory.4 Subjects were shown a slide of a car at an intersection with either a yield sign or a stop sign. Experimenters asked participants questions, falsely introducing the term "stop sign" into the question instead of referring to the yield sign participants had actually seen. Similarly, experimenters falsely substituted the term "yield sign" in questions directed to participants who had actually seen the stop sign slide. The results indicated that subjects remembered seeing the false image.

So ... yeah. Our memory is pretty useless as far as determining facts goes.
Care to elaborate at all?

That wasn't lazy reporting, the article made an intentional and consistent series of assertions intended to paint the CEOs life as unduly difficult compared to other people, insomnia is a conscious part of that narrative.

What is lazy reporting, in my opinion, is completely ignoring the issue of CEO compensation. Even if you agree with current CEO compensation trends, it still needs to be addressed. If you get paid more, you should expect to stress more. If not, then why not? Why should someone making 1M not expect 10x more stress than someone making 100k? There may be reasons, but you should articulate them if you want to be taken seriously.

EDIT: scratch that, my writing is lazy. :P I speculate that ignoring compensation was also intentional, not lazy.

> Is because they are CEOs. The buck stops with them.

Then a commensurate amount of stress comes with the job, does it not? Your point here opposes what the article says, that a company is a team effort and not an individual contribution. So I don't understand, what are you arguing for? You want to have CEOs continue to take ultimate responsibility, but not have to have as much stress? How? Or you want them to continue averaging 350x the pay of employees and also continue to have more stress? Can you have it both ways? Why?

The effort to get pay ratio reporting of CEOs to be standard - something I alluded to - is something the SEC is currently considering rolling back. Do you believe pay ratio reporting is a reasonable goal? Do you believe that the US average CEO pay ratios are trending in the right direction?

I think that Linkerd is totally awesome and that it's definitely not receiving the attention that it deserves.

One may think that Linkerd only fits in large projects but having that layer that manages the communication between my apps/microservice represents a huge boost forward for any project regardless its size. With Linkerd you're relying on the expertise of a team with vast knowledge on the field.

For those of you worried about the memory footprint of JVM, Linkerd can perfectly run in the 32-bit JVM (Docker image buoyantio/linkerd:1.0.0-32b) and with only 256mb the results are impressive. More here: https://blog.buoyant.io/2016/06/17/small-memory-jvm-techniqu....

> I don't think there was a single death directly because of autopilot (not 100% sure though).

There was a death, and it was very prominent.
Of all the attempts trying to revive a genuinely dying tech company, I think share holders would have been better rewarded if they bring a WallStreet CEO, who slices/dices and sells it for best value. (Apple being everest size exception)
8k sqft is ridiculous even by American standards. For a family of 5, I'd call about 2400 sqft (~220 sqm) normal, maybe a bit overkill.

The problem isn't your upper middle class twit neo-rich grandparents. It's the real wealthy. The 2k people that control 90% of the collective wealth oof the nation. I'm all for no inheritance tax up to like 5 mil give or take, then 99% after that. Slay the capital hoarding dragons and put that money back into the economy.
Assuming a 60k deposit (so 340k mortage), you could get a 2 year fixed mortgage at 1.53% so your repayments will be £1,178.31.

£70k post-tax is around £48k so £4k/month so the mortgage will take around 30% of your take-home pay which is a fairly standard ratio.

This is something I still don't get, even as an American. I live by myself in a 950 sq ft (~88 sq m) apartment, and that's already more space than I know what to do with. Sure, add a spouse and 2 or 3 kids and my space needs would increase, but I can't imagine needing 8-10x as much space, ever. Maybe 3x, at most 4x.

I grew up in a fairly large house (I don't recall the size, but two floors, 6 bedrooms, kitchen, formal dining room, living room, family room, 3 bathrooms, basement filled with junk; so, fairly large -- semi-rural Maryland, where space was cheap in the 80s/90s). My parents weren't hoarders, though they did accumulate stuff. After my sister and I moved out and my mom passed away, my dad lived in a giant house by himself, couldn't maintain it, and also felt like he couldn't move because the house wasn't in good enough shape to sell.

I just don't get this need for more and more space. It just encourages you to buy more stuff that you don't need, and takes more time/effort/money to maintain. I hesitate to "tell people how to live", but this keeping up with the Joneses attitude is a component of what causes cost of living to rise and is ultimately a zero-sum game.

Most of the value of the stock was based on their shares of Alibaba. The Yahoo component was largely worthless but the indirect shares of Alibaba are/were valuable.
This is an important step for testing, and I'm surprised that this is being spun as a move towards commercialization.

As of right now, waymo has only been doing what could metaphorically be called unit testing. That is, they test the cars behavior in very controlled but unrealistic environments, looking for very specific responses. The accident rate that they've incurred is likely ridiculously skewed: they've been driving in good weather, on meaningless routes (not chosen by destination, but by route features), at relatively safe times of day, at slow speeds, and they've been doing it extremely cautiously with engineers ready to take over in a moments notice.

This is exactly what they should have been doing, but politically it is misleading. Most human drivers, given those same constraints, would also do extremely well and way better than average. They've done well, but we have little basis for comparison with the average driver.

This is the first step towards integration testing. They get to see how the cars behavior integrates together across various scenarios that are much closer to real life. They are driving on actual routes that real people travel on...routes that aren't chosen in order to test a specific behavior.

Accident rates are going to go up. That's a good thing...its a move towards the things humans find more difficult too. We should, however, expect slowing progress to level 4 autonomy. This is typical of system capability growth; exponential in the beginning, asymptotic near the end. People that are rushing this are out of line; akin to immediate commercializations of lab rat successes. Give them time.
Reading this article now, but this is about attachment to another person through relationships. I haven't studied Buddhism (or Stoicism from my sibling comment) in great detail. My question is, how does the detachment taught or encouraged by these philosophies deal with relationships? My understanding of it (very, very superficial, I know) was more about detachment from things, not from people. I'd like to be corrected on this if I'm wrong.
Sorry, not trying to confuse the two, so much as acknowledging that they're both probably complicated here, but also as remedy often factors in to the severity of a crime, then it extends lenience to the interpretation of a right.

e.g., I can get away with kicking your tire than I can your shin. Of course, damages is a factor here too.

Property rights are complicated as hell though. It occurs to me that one doesn't necessarily even have the unilateral right to destroy one's own property, so, yeah, I'm just going to rest on "it's complicated" and hope somebody more informed comes along to school me.
