It's frightening to see users on a forum now support a bad law like the CFAA because it could be used against a company that they happen to like at the moment. A bad law is a bad law. It doesn't magically become a good law when it could be used against someone you don't like.

At worst this should result in tortious interference as a trespass to chattels case with damages calculated at the cost of the computing services that Lyft was denied.

> 1. The speed limit should be tied to average driver reaction times, not the engine or safety of the car.

Hence why distance to the car in front matters, proportionally to speed, not speed itself as an absolute metric. 180kph is not a definitive tailgating trigger when people behave. Case in point, in France people regularly tailgate you too even at 130kph, even more so because they feel safer due to the comparatively reduced speed.

> The speed difference also causes backpropagating traffic jams. [...] It was simply created by people driving too fast compared to the car in front of them, having to brake

It was created by people either braking too late and having too much of a tendency to tailgate you, or jumping out of their lane and sitting there, and it happens just as much in France. It's a property of reaction time and distance WRT speed, not speed itself.

> They tailgate you, sometimes flash lights or use their left blinker

I've mostly seen this behaviour when the car either cruises at a reduced speed on the left lane or irresponsibly takes over when it should have no business in doing so WRT current traffic: it's just as disrespectful to others to tailgate someone as it is to take over and block a lane when you're driving at a locked 140kph to overtake someone at 138kph and there's constant faster traffic on the left. I've also witnessed people playing vigilante and do this voluntarily precisely because of the existing speed limit.

My experience is that most issues on the road are a byproduct of terrible individualistic human behaviour, and setting limits on arbitrary metrics do not solve that.
> Whoever gets self driving technology right, will own all transportation and logistics - which is huge!

Why? Presumably others will develop self-driving technology too, and then ground transportation becomes an interchangeable commodity that competes on price. It's not like there's only one container-ship firm in the world.

> What world is this, in which every human interaction happens in background of some kind of utility function?

Nobody tells anyone to live their lives by an explicit utility function (if you could even specify one in full, you'd be half-way to solving Friendly AI). But utilitarianism is an useful framework for decisionmaking in many contexts, especially as an alternative to going by your gut, and especially in situations to which your gut is not used.

> In the end we all want to be happy, right?

Right, but if this is most important goal of one's life, then 80000hours is not a guide for them. This is a guide for people who want to have positive impact on the world. There are better and easier ways for improving personal happiness. For example, even the Bible suggests alcohol as useful in achieving a happy (if not impactful) life.

> Maybe that's the main problem here? "[Having] little idea what to do". Being raised as sheep doesn't really teach you, how to stand for your own ideals.

The context implies this talks about people who know they want to make a meaningful social impact, but don't know how. In other articles, 80000hours provides advice for figuring out that "how".

--

TL;DR: 80000hours don't publish articles aimed at everyone, but at those who want to make a positive impact on the world with their career.

In my experience, I don't see that longer yellow lights really help much - people just keep going through until the light turns red. At least in this state, as long as you have already entered an intersection before the light turns red, you haven't run the red light.

I would think that a better strategy would be to increase the delay before turning the next light green, after the last one turned red.
When troubleshooting electronics, in general, power supplies/converters are always the first thing to check.

While I believe that power supply longevity is better than for hard disks/fans and other mech components, power supplies are still prone to failure and also damage caused by line voltage irregularities. That's part of the reason why serious servers have two redundant power supplies, its not just for battery back-up. Power supplies do fail, that's why they're FRU's (field replaceable units) in datacenter equipment.

Warranties are more about getting people to buy stuff than they are about actual longevity. Very very few consumers will bother to warranty a power supply from a 10 year old gaming rig, for example. Few people excercise warranties period. But they do create a warm-fuzzy feeling for buying decisions and if the margins are high enough for the MFG its not a big risk anyway.

I've recently moved back to Chromium after giving way too many other browsers a go, because it just works. I'm not at all into the idea of being a part of Google's ecosystem, but it seems to work more smoothly with my extensions (uMatrix, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, etc) than Firefox.

Google heavy lift drones. The specs you are looking for are payload and flight time. They are going to be inversely related.

Expect to pay more than $10,000 for an off the shelf solution. 10kg is a lot of weight for a commercial drone. Are you sure you need that much?
I wonder if that's because it may have to decode all the data going over the pipe to figure out where headers are? As it stands HAProxy only looks at and modifies HTTP headers and passes the body right on through without touching or modifying it.

This criticism misses the context of the article - 80000hours doesn't publish "how to be happy" guides, but "how to have most positive social impact on the world with your career" guides.

The fisherman from the story may be living a happy life, but he's not exactly helping anyone either. Which is fine as a life choice, but this guide is aimed at people who make a different choice.
It's not something I've used to any great extent, just that I use the steam runtime developed for it on my arch system and the lead developer has been a guest on a few podcasts I've listened to. That said, this is my impression of it so far:

Solus is a distribution built from scratch. I believe the main target is non-technical end users, rather than, say, servers or power users. What that quite equates to, I don't really know beyond missing certain development or server software from the base install and in some cases the repositories. I currently can't see a way to install external packages (like the AUR or PPAs). I've had a play with it for a couple of hours and it's pretty slick, with really fast start up times. It's probably not ready for you to hand to your Grandmother just yet, but it seems very user-friendly to me. I have it currently running on a laptop I gave to a friend around 4 months ago, and so far it's the only distribution I've been able to hand over to a non-technical user and not get called to fix/change/etc. every couple of weeks.

Aerodynamic resistance (“drag”) doesn't care about your transmission. The sweet spot is even lower with electric cars (especially with all the peripheral devices turned off).

However, a modern mid-sized car with an efficient engine gets 40 MPG or more at 75 MPH, while a gas guzzler won't get such mileage at any speed.

Solved the first puzzle on "easy" in 53 attempts.
The first 20 attempts were me figuring out that the 4 dots beneath each try are not in the same order as I drew the pattern, so I can't directly deduce if a single dot is correct or not.
Then it took me another ~8 attempts to find the four correct dots and then a very long time to get the order right.

Fun game, interesting idea and nicely done! I'll probably play a few more rounds when I get home.
I also use my phone like this. It's in my jacket pocket or shoulder bag, and I check it in the evening (sometimes).

I do still have a sound for incoming phone call, but thinking about it now, I am going to consider disabling that too. There aren't a lot of things these days that can't be communicated by a text message, if only to say "hey can we have a chat about <this or that>". I hate that phone call sound and the stress of running to get the phone, anxiety about possibly having to deal with some shit, etc.

In the UK we have "average speed cameras". They are dotted along a road, and monitor cars individually by their license plate.

I would argue they make drivers far less safe, because whilst on such a road, drivers are glued to their speedometers to make sure they're not going over the limit.

Drivers should be concentrating on driving safely. Not on driving at a specific arbitrary speed.

I feel like Occam's razor applies here in a non-intuitive way.

Either he:

1. Recorded a video of him driving a car and frantically pressing the horn

2. Made a screen capture of Doom that matches the gun fire, turns, and weapon changes perfectly to his car video

3. Did some video editing to superimpose the video including several cases where his thumb goes over the screen while shifting

Or....

1. He put software on the car console (which is pretty much a full computer)

2. He actually mapped the controls to data being read from the onboard computer

I mean, I couldn't do this... one I don't know how to write software for a Porsche console and two I can't afford a Porsche :-P but faking it seems like way more work and worse ROI than actually doing it.

Edit: alternatively in some cars the console actually takes RGB or HDMI input and you don't even need to run directly on the console assuming ODB-II has enough info to read the input signals. I can totally see myself doing this if I had the time. Seems fun (albeit a bit dangerous for my taste)

Edit 2: It could still be a fake but it's not unreasonable to think it isn't.

For what it's worth, using the solus steam runtime (SLI) I see noticable improvements over steam-native.

When I installed Solus around 4 months ago, steam was noticably faster on the same hardware than it was when installed on Ubuntu.

There are probably ways to get the same experience on Ubuntu, but if I were a non-technical user I think I'd only really care about which gave me the best experience out of the box.

Where does the dance go, when the dancers go off stage? The dancers are not the dance, but create the dance. There is some kind of duality there.

Similar for the brain. What it does creates the mind/consciousness. Should that feel like something? Why not?

How does the brain decide on next actions? By simulating/predicting futures and "feeling" which is desired, and acting towards that future. Why would that not feel like something?

The "hard question of consciousness" is not an answer. It is a philosophical device without backing. It is unknown if qualia is actually hard, maybe most learning systems have it. What we do know: it is hard to have intuitions about it ...

When opening the minute selection dropdown and the selecting time with the dial the dropdown disappears on mouseup instead of mousedown. The same happens when using the hour drop down. I think it should disappear once you mousedown on the dial.

Using the dial, you can sometimes start selecting or even drag/dropping some parts of the page. Use the css property user-select to prevent users from selecting visual elements that should not be selected. No one is ever going to want to select the text on your AM / PM buttons, so don't make it selectable.

Do people really prefer this over two infinite spinning number selection dials (one for the minute, the other for the hour) like on iOS?

In the context of the site that's publishing this, which is something almost everyone in those comments misses, the why is already answered - you want to maximize your positive social impact on this world, and (maybe through reading other articles on the site) you've become convinced that a good way to do it is by leveraging professional specialization. Then, after picking a career path (advice on which is elsewhere on the site), you're left with the question of... being successful in that career.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I was curious to know if 22 attempts was anywhere near a bruteforce attack on a 4 point pattern.

This Quora thread contains some interesting breakdowns of the number of possible patterns that Android permits.

https://www.quora.com/Android-operating-system-How-many-comb...

If we assume that you don't know the number of points in use on a phone you're trying to unlock, the consensus seems to be there are in the region of 390,000 distinct patterns. One correspondent doubled that.

In the case where you know the pattern has 4 points, the number of valid permutations was calculated to be 1624. Your 22 attempt crack is well short of that figure so I think you are being harsh on yourself by implying you basically just got lucky. You're good at this!

I've worked as an independent for over 20 years. Sometimes with firms like SAP, Mendix, etc and other times direct with non-tech clients - usually the big corporates because they can afford to pay the best fees. Sometimes the big SIs (Accenture, Cap, etc.) get desperate and will pay well too, when a strategic account is at stake.

The fact that you enjoy speaking and writing is a big bonus!

Most experts believe their expertise is enough, which is often no longer true these days. So they fail to adopt an effective business approach to attracting clients, and are forced back into employment. Others get lucky for a while, but as with any business without a strategy to attract more business, the luck eventually runs out.

A Rigorous Framework for Evaluating Startup Compensation
It blows my mind that only five years ago gaming on Linux was but for a few exceptions a complete non-starter. The big argument being made then was there was simply no money in it. The number of titles available now certainly says otherwise.
One factor that you may not be considering is that by routinely posting overly low speed limits, the belief that the posted speed limit is the "moral minimum" speed or that it's okay to exceed it by a certain amount is reinforced.

The speed limit is supposed to be the upper bound. By over using low speed limits, we indirectly increase the danger level for vulnerable road users because of the reasons detailed above.
