As a Pittsburgher, CMU alum, and friend to several outstanding Uber engineers, it just make me so angry that a couple greedy jerks could do so much harm to their worthwhile endeavour. And certainly this is bad for Pittsburgh too.
Compared to a modern car? Not even the same scale.

It is 'safe' for the time, in that it's a unibody steel shell, which is more resilient than the body-on-frame style that was common in the era. It would probably handle a rollover OK. The bumpers are solid. There is an anti-whiplash head restraint, and the seatbelts work as expected.

But there are no reinforced bars to prevent cabin intrusion from a side impact, and crumple zones are nonexistent. No airbags.

So I don't really drive it on the freeway. It's an around-town runabout. On the 35mph-and-lower roads it spends 99% of its time, It's fine. It is undoubtedly safer than the motorcycle I would likely otherwise be riding.

For distance driving, I use my 'new' car, a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Which is probably still bad compared to a truly modern vehicle, but is much safer (and more comfortable) than the CVCC. And the ZJs were great years for Cherokees. The straight-6 is practically indestructible, and the transmission will last forever. If I keep maintaining it as well, it should last for easily another 10-20.

(Not having a car payment, and having insurance payments of <$100/month for both, is nice.)

I suppose the error lies in statements like

"Everybody should eat X."

"Y is making you Z."

where the whole of the population is treated as one.

Yet, we are different. Our metabolic balances differ. Some persons lack certain genes needed to process certain substances. Other persons are super efficient at that and need more of some substances.

"One size fits all." does not work in nutrition!
Yeah, when you put it that way you realize how screwed the system is for the little guy. I am no fan of Uber's, and if they did what Waymo alleges they should be packing up shop, but I imagine it can be brutal for startups having that extra risk associated with your brand.
Yeah I've used a Holter a few times they are definitely a pain to sleep in! For certain arrhythmias you need a 6-12 lead EKG though (iWatch wouldn't work in those situations as far as I understand).
That's the secret sauce that makes professional photographers professionals. 90% of the work is setting the lighting and composing the scene, and I know at least one pro photographer who doesn't let his clients snap photos with their iPhones while he works, precisely because it's not the camera that makes the photos beautiful but rather the setup.

Easy. It becomes an endless source of parking ticket revenue for the city.
It took me a long time to realize that most of the media's science reporting is scaremongering BS, and I know people who have gone their whole lives without realizing it.

It's stuff like this which makes me wonder if we really need the media in its current form. I'm inclined to say no and that's why I have no qualms about using an ad blocker. Maybe society would be better off if we just funded whatever shreds of that dinosaur industry are still valuable directly -- Glenn Greenwald could surely make a fine living with a Patreon account. Outside of very specific cases I would prefer my media outlet to be an aggregator of primary sources, perhaps with summaries. I do not want the mainstream press to publish any more bad science articles.
This will have been the millionth incarnation of this idea I've seen in 20 years, from books to videos to websites.

I'm guessing nobody's actually paying attention to history, otherwise the first book/video/website would've been all that was needed.

Agreed. That's like orders of magnitude orders of magnitude.

Definitely surprising, although in one of those hindsight realizations -- c.elegans has a specific consistent function for each cell and each cell under normal development.

If 300+ cells of a worm can be that well orchestrated, of course slightly more complex creatures could. Evolution is a series of slight successes.

What if the cells of the brain have their own genome because each one of the billions of cells has a near specific specialized function.

Could cellular function be that precise? Each micron of tissue the result of specific evolutionary pressures?

Running water is very reliable. AWS can't keep a reliability zone working that reliably, and that's a rather easier problem than transportation.
Maybe someone can track down a reference to the study that proved the drinks aren't "killing you", as the headline says.

The study in question was well designed, with a large population. Study participants, randomly assigned to one of three groups, drank either diet soda exclusively, regular soda exclusively, or water. Participants were followed for 60 years, and all major major illnesses and deaths were carefully recorded. After 60 years, the three groups were found to have identical outcomes, which allowed the FDA to approve aspertame for general consumption.
TypeScript and Angular at Microsoft Build 2017
As much as I wish this could be compared to what Apple did with MacOS, it's not an apt comparison. Microsoft is essentially bolting on a Linux distro whereas Apple rebuilt MacOS from the ground-up using NeXTSTEP. What Microsoft is doing is more akin to something like Cygwin, except Microsoft is developing it and you can choose your distro. You might have better integration between Windows and Linux, but it's hardly a rethink. I would really like to see a commercial grade UNIX alternative to Mac brought to us by Microsoft, but it doesn't appear they are headed in that direction.

I was born and raised in Australia, I left for Japan just as the NBN was beginning to roll out.

It's an absolute disgrace how much it has been butchered. I have thoughts about returning occasionally, but going from 2 GB/s unlimited for Aus$ 40 ish a month, back to those speeds and prices is a major factor for me staying here.

It is a massive quality of life difference to have amazing internet.
It's not subtle. If there was an employee standing next to you or following you around the store with a clipboard taking notes on you and your facial expressions, only then would you have something approaching an apples to apples comparison. Stop pretending that's normally "what sellers and owners do" and you're just automating it. Customers Do Not Want.
I think https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/compression is interesting and relevant here:

> While our API is HTTP based, we chose to diverge from standard HTTP in one particular area. During normal operation, we guarantee that all responses are compressed, either with GZIP or DEFLATE.

Read this line carefully:

> If Content-Encoding is set on the response, use the specified algorithm. If it is missing, assume GZIP.

So SO's API (but ONLY the API endpoint) does precisely what this website was doing. Just thought that was interesting to share.

Their rationale:

> There is a way to remain in compliance with the HTTP spec, which is to reject all requests that do not list "gzip" or "deflate" in their Accept-Encoding header. Unfortunately, this does not work in practice as far too many proxies (affecting ~1% of users in our experience) will strip out this header.

> The motivation for this is simple, serving uncompressed content is a loss for all parties. Bandwidth is, in comparison to CPU time, exceptional[ly] expensive and severely limited on many devices. Its really a no-brainer to require compression accordingly.

And then there's this hilarious tidbit at the end:

> If response is not compressed this suggests a proxy between the user and us is intentionally decompressing content, or errors are occuring very early in processing requests. You can detect uncompressed content by checking for the appropriate magic numbers, assuming your library cannot detect this error for you.
Most of these problems have been fixed as of the January Creators Update for Windows 10.

SSH server is still iffy, because Windows 10 comes with an SSH server (not OpenSSH), which you'll have to disable. It was very weird to try to SSH into WSL and get a cmd.exe prompt.

Also, once you install opensshd with apt, the server is only active while its terminal window is open (since closing the terminal window kills the WSL init process).
> was the driving force behind a home-insulation scheme that was found to be the cause of 224 house fires.

House fires went down statistically. The absolute number of fires was higher because more homes were getting insulation, but fires per insulated home went down.

The real cause is business efficiency, hiring cheaper workers and not training them properly. You can't hold the government responsible for every grunt a private business hires. You don't hear the current lot taking direct responsibility for the recent shooting in our offshore detention facilities.

Edit - in hindsight it's a perfect example of how "fake news" isn't a recent problem.
HP Laptops Being Shipped with a Keylogger Recording Your Passwords
You're missing the context:

Judge Alsup: "Even though he is not a defendant here, moreover, Levandowski’s assertion of his Fifth Amendment privilege has obstructed and continues to obstruct both discovery and defendants’ ability to construct a complete narrative as to the fate of Waymo’s purloined files. As a practical matter, it is hard to imagine how consolidating proceedings as to Levandowski and defendants, whether here or in arbitration, could alleviate these difficulties."

The judge raises this to show that Levandowski's interests and Uber's interests are not aligned. Thus, consolidating Waymo vs. Levandowski (which doesn't exist) with Waymo vs. Uber is not an option. Thus, Uber can't claim that Levandowski's arbitration contract with Waymo covers Uber's problems.
Therefore, Waymo can insist their case against Uber go to trial.
I would really like an OS as simple to use as MacOS 9 but with a modern filesystem, full text search, and keyboard shortcuts for switching apps. That's it. That would be fantastic.

What made Classic MacOS so nice was that it was persistent. Each folder remembered where its window was, what size/shape, icon size settings, icon layout, sort/list view, coloured labels, etc.

Human spatial memory is a fantastic thing. It's so frustrating that we've decided to throw that all away with modern UIs that don't persist anything and windows that get reused (browsers). It's no wonder non-technical users struggle so much that they've more or less given up on desktop PCs.
His mission was to screw up the project, he succeeded and got promoted.
If you opened your mind only a little further you would see what I am saying, friend. All call chains are input driven. Attach a debugger to anything you've made and stop the program - at the top, is an input. The tick() methods in a AAA game are handling input - the input of a ticking clock. A long-running process, by definition, does not change state without input. "Process organization" means how the memory associated with the (operating system) process is divided - and that memory includes both (mutable, transient) object state and (immutable, invariant) program code. Your comments about code generation are pedantic, and I will ignore them, since only a very small fraction of code written in Java, C#, or any other high-level OOL does dynamic code generation, or even reflection (and for the very good reason that it breaks the invariants assured by the OOP paradigm).

Unfortunately, OOP doesn't allow people to reason about complex systems, primarily because call-chains are totally unconstrained. An object can contain references to any other object held by the process, and this reference list is dynamic at runtime. In the presence of instantiation indirection it's even worse, even the concrete type of those references is unknown except at runtime.

There are code smells, and then there are architecture smells. One big architecture smell is when the incidental complexity of a solution vastly outstrips the intrinsic complexity of the problem. I have never (and I've been doing this a very long time) seen an OOP code base less than 10x the complexity of the business problem it was built to solve. It's sad to me that instead of asking why, they keep blaming the programmer/architect and inventing new complexity to mitigate old complexity.
echo ($(ldap-query-for-valid-users)) > /tmp/all-users.sexp

should be something like

x=$(ldap-query-for-valid-users);
test ${#x} -gt 0||exec echo no valid users >&2;
echo \("$x"\) > /tmp/all-users.sexp;

This way they would get the message "no valid users" to stderr and the script would exit. According to the blog post that is what they wanted.

Alternatively,

x=$(ldap-query-for-valid-users);
test ${#x} -gt 0||exit 100
echo \("$x"\) > /tmp/all-users.sexp;

if they prefer a nonzero exit code to a message to stderr.
This study seems to show that sugar-sweetened beverages are positively correlated with insulin resistance while diet soda does not have that same association:

Maybe I am not understanding it correctly, but it seems to me that an initial analysis does show a correlation between dementia and consumption of diet drinks, but once you adjust for factors that could cause dementia (such as diabetes) that correlation disappears.

But doesn't that imply a correlation. Eteeen diet drinks and diabetes? So maybe diet drinks don't cause dementia, but they do lead to diabetes, which then increases the odds of dementia. How do you conclude "drink away" from that?

That would also fit other studies that have shown that drinking diet soda instead of sugar soda leads to no weight loss, likely because people compensate by getting their sugars elsewhere. Which would match well with the idea that diet soda consumption correlates with diabetes.
I concur with all of these and I will admit to on more than one occasion implementing a `Maybe<...>` type. No matter how many silly blogs I see screaming "exceptions are evil", I have never understood the logic. Some times you're several methods deep in a recursion of abstract types and `throw GetMeTheHellOutOfHere` is really as great as it gets.

Also - injecting a whole bunch of branch statements in what is otherwise a vectorizable function is almost never a good thing. This is effectively what your `.map` function is doing.

As an Australian now living in San Francisco paying $55 per month for 100/100 (WebPass, which would be the same price but 500/500 or 1000/1000 if I moved to a newer building), I have the exact same feeling.

When I journey back home and stay with my parents, it is impossible to get work done. Latency is the first killer - it'll never properly be solved if you're working with remote systems in the US or Europe - but then upload speeds slowly rip at your soul. Download speeds and quotas are no picnic either of course.

That Australia didn't end up with a future proof fibre to the home system given the amount of money spent is an absolute disgrace. I get angry every time I have to discuss it.

I wanted to move back to Australia sooner than later - and the FTTH NBN promised interesting start-up and other opportunities - but given it has been relegated to a copper backwater those plans are on indefinite hold :(

I usually point people to the Australian government debate regarding copper wire over iron wire from 1910 as an anachronistic comparison.

The article is positing that there's enough research been done into diet soda sweeteners to claim that there are probably no adverse effects. This is enough to make a recommendation to use something.

Absolutely, yeah. I was trying to get at that idea but didn't quite articulate it. (Thanks.)

Indeed :/

(I have to admit I honestly just don't understand why the offshore detention system has to be the way that it is. But this is largely due to my ignorance of the various variables and difficulties of the situation.)
I have a settled on Toggl for time tracking and Zoho Books for invoicing. Toggl supports csv export and Zoho Books has an import feature that makes getting data from one to the next fairly simple, with the help of a simple script I wrote to transform the data (https://github.com/joshrickert/toggl-zoho-books-timesheet-co...).

I did a pretty exhaustive search when I set out to solve this problem a couple years ago, and ended up with a considerable amount of research that I summarized on my blog (https://joshrickert.com/blog/invoicing-apps-for-freelancers/).
I am somewhat surprised that our ML is not yet strong enough to make good use of a relatively small, but precisely translated work, such as the Qur'an. The success of human anthropologists in deciphering the Rosetta stone to learn the ancient Egyptian languages must have had as much to do with understanding the context, the culture and tools of the time, as actually cracking a code.

I think early access is a different situation from preordering, since the former gives you something right away, and that something is one which you can influence as a tester.

I've generally been pretty gung-ho with early access games if they have a Linux/SteamOS version available. Kerbal Space Program and Planet Explorers have taken weeks' worth of my time (and that time was enjoyable, even amid the bugs; in fact, the bugs were part of the reason why I enjoyed them). With both of those games, I had a chance to experience their evolution from alpha-quality-at-best to finished product. That's not an experience normally possible in the release cycle of a non-early-access game.
This is a good article for pointing out the some of the great work going on in SV and why it's an engine for innovation.

That said, the Juicero was ultimately panned because it was a bag squeezing machine (and not a very good one), but it is also the sort of cynical ploy that requires a wifi-connection to "check the expiration date" when we all know it was to enforce their DRMed juice packets. The investors weren't upset that it was a ridiculous product, they were upset that it was suddenly not a Keurig-style landfill-stuffing nightmare that they could charge ridiculous sums to people for DRMed juice.

To paint SV with the Juicero brush is unfair, but let's not pretend there aren't tons of people (and VCs) in SV that would kill to get funding (or fund) just that sort of product.
