This is really not true. PMs with 4-6yrs of experience at Facebook/Google easily make >$300k/yr. Can't imagine Amazon being too behind. $40k in stock after 4-6yrs of PM experience is ludicrous - not sure any bright PM will ever take that.
Tunnels might look more futuristic, but I can't imagine a world where building layers of tunnels will be cheaper than larger roads.

We've already put the R&D into roads, and the cars that run on them. Routing problems have also been solved. No matter that feedback loop, it wouldn't get cheaper than laying a road.

It's true that you can build many tunnels, but why? Congestion is really a problem in inner city roads. I rarely hear of any congestion in freeways, and I have to say, expanding to a couple more lanes sounds a lot more viable.
Maybe the pause is for adding human-like "flavor" and not really necessary?

To take a Steve Jobs'ism, once tech advances sufficiently you have to introduce qualities that may have nothing to do with tech, to make things more pleasing to us humans.
I'm floored, angry, and in pain over this story. It's abuse. Maybe it strikes something for me personally because of the abuse I suffered growing up...

I've seen first hand how family can be complicit. I mean you didn't mention beatings or other kinds of physical abuse, so it's not that bad right? No, it's that bad. It reinforces the behavior for both the abuser and the victim.

My advice, please stop doing nothing. Take her in, let her keep her paychecks. Help her find herself. Give her love, patience, and help her finally be free. I don't know. I want to say "do as much as you feel comfortable doing" but she needs the kind of help you're not comfortable providing.

You obviously care enough to set aside money for her retirement. I'd disown the aunt. It's going to get ugly. You're taking away her livelihood. But you know that. It's why it seems best to do nothing.

Then again, I didn't have a savior, I had a breakdown. I was willing to never speak to my family again. I was ready to be alone. And I was for a time.

I'm sorry, I wish there was a clear cut answer. I can't tell you the amount of physiological damage that was done and it didn't even become clear just how bad it was until I got far far away from it.

Even now, nearly a decade after I had enough, and broke away from it. It's still hard. So hard and fear inducing I created a throwaway account just to post this.

Please do something. If nothing else help clarify her immigration status right before referring the case to authorities.
Congratulations. You just reinvented the concept of local busses connecting subway stations within of a few blocks to the local area.

Express vs. Local was actually borrowed from that concept.

For some constructive feedback, this is a really awkward way of getting in touch with someone. Assume they're busy and professional, you're sending them a message to ask them to send you a message to tell you how to send them a message...

If you want to contact someone, check their public profile on their website and see if they've said there's a preferred way (some people want everything to a certain email address, call them directly, never call them, flat out tell you not to contact them or more commonly just say email them and get to the point). Follow whatever they suggest.

Write something simple and clear, and be upfront about what you're asking for. Make it as easy as possible for the person to help you (this applies to both reading and answering the question). I'm far more likely to reply if I can open an email, type a sentence or two, and then move on.

With your message, I don't know if you're just after datasets, help with a particular problem, a mentor, business partner or what. I also don't know what area of audio/sound classification so if I was actually in that area then I'd not know right now if I could help or not (whereas if you'd said human voices, bird chirps, etc. I'd have a better idea).

Essentially, assume most people are pleasant and helpful but also extremely busy.

You should talk to a experienced shrink or a psychologist about what the best outcomes for her might be. Sounds like she is dealing with what they would call traumatic attachment. Best outcomes for the individual won't be intuitive in such cases. Also there will be a psychological cost to you for opposing what your family might think is right. It's always good to be understand how to handle it before taking any stand.

This is where an experienced counsellor can make a huge difference. They usually have seen many such cases and have a sense of possible positive outcomes.
> take sleds each containing a car with 2 people, paced 300ft apart traveling at 125mph. that is 2 people (125mph / 0.0568182mi) = 4400 people per hour*

I think 300 ft is for 75 mph. Using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance, the distance at 125 mph is 55 m/s * 55 m/s / (2 * 1 * 10 m/s2) = 150 m = 500 ft, resulting in 2 people * 125 mph / 0.09 mi = 2.8 khumans/h.

(On the demo video, their vehicles look like they are tire-on-asphalt.)

Also, subways have a typical capacity closer to 30 khumans/h in dense urban areas (https://www.thoughtco.com/passenger-capacity-of-transit-2798...).

I would recommend anyone read the book American Icon, which is about Ford's rise from the ashes in the 2000s. It's one of those thick reads, but well worth it.

It's sad to see them struggling, because their car lineup has been absolutely brilliant for the last few years. But now that the industry is at it's plateau, investors are very paranoid about any car company trying to invest in new areas (Ford spent much of it's earnings on tech companies). They would rather just see dividends instead.

> an Indian craftsman could carve an entire complicated scene in a single elephant tusk with his bare hands

The carved elephant tusks you see nowadays in museums were created by top craftsman, or his entire workshop, was ordered by the king or a noble and cost a fortune. There were plenty of average or poor craftsmen whose work simply didn't survive. Most likely, most craftsmen had poor skills or average at most.

Exactly, it's the cognitive dissonance of those people wanting racial equality: being open minded and then hiring housekeepers and treating them badly. That cognitive dissonance surprises me and shocks me.

I have no issue with people hiring housekeepers but the work conditions absolutely need to be decent. And if for some reason they feel that there's too much risk in being decent, then they shouldn't hire a live in housekeeper, they could also easily hire locals to help with some housework.

Of course, that's not everyone, I have some Malaysian friends who treated their live in housekeeper with respect, let her take some holidays and even helped her set up her own business when she went back to Indonesia. But, that's the exception rather than the norm.
Public transport is at least an order of magnitude more efficient: http://p5.focus.de/img/fotos/origs3844236/5854568718-w630-h2... (note that car sizes have increased significantly since then)

Every point you brought forward is also true for subways, but it's again at least an order of magnitude more space-efficient than sending cars through tunnels.

Consider what happens if one spouse loses a job and is forced to take one with half the pay. The spouse doing the work at home suddenly has to make do with less, even though their work has not really changed.

My point is not really about slavery, it is about how this example shows how much work there is and how difficult it is, and how we don't seem to account for it even in normal life.
The article describes a classic narcissist or someone with a similar personality disorder. And I don't mean the popular culture caricature of a narcissist. And I don't mean it in any hyperbolic, rhetorical or judgmental sort of way.

Such a severe disorder doesn't come about because of a domineering father or a brother's suicide late in life, though those things obviously provide yarn for spinning overly complex explanations, and a familiar narrative for empathetic people to sympathize with. As the article explains, Trump's personality traits were distinctly evident and exhibited as a small child. I find it odd that the author doesn't put 2+2 together. The author says in one paragraph that Trump's worldview was profoundly shaped by his father, but everything else related by the author either conflicts with that assessment or is more easily explained by an intrinsic (at birth) personality disorder.

The most generous interpretation is that the author means that Trump's sense of his own worldview was shaped by his father--that is, Trump used his relationship with his father as the foundation for building a narrative about the world and why he felt compelled to behave in certain ways.

Trump is who he is because of biology. People who don't see that are projecting way too much of themselves. Which, BTW, is precisely how narcissists and psychopaths are so adept at manipulating people within their sphere: they may lack empathy but they become skillful, intentionally or unintentionally, at manipulating others' empathy.

Empathy is the ability to see yourself in others. You look at Trump and you see another human being like yourself, and you try to understand him by contemplating how you'd feel in his shoes. Someone without empathy looks at you and sees a walking, talking piece of meat. The difference between an extreme psychopath and an extreme narcissist is that the narcissist, for some reason he doesn't understand, still measures his self-worth by others' attention. In that sense you're less a piece of meat and more like a potential point in some grand game.

Personally, I think this is highly relevant to HN because psychopathy and narcissism are both predicated by and explainable in game-theoretic, evolutionary terms. Theoretically you can even work out an equilibrium rate of non-empathic people in a population and test it. Extremes like this (and Trump's personality is almost absurdly extreme) are gold mines for genetic and behavioral research, just as extremes are gold mines in other fields of research. People like Trump provide invaluable insight, directly and indirectly (i.e. how people respond to him), into the nature and biological basis of empathy, consciousness, and cooperative group behavior.
YES. I grew up eating Cortlands in the midwest. Have never found one in the LA area.
> Musk is not going to push forward a venture like this without loads of research from a team of really smart people. It's not like it's just the one Elon with a fantasy about tunnels. It'd start with a bunch of talented people brainstorming and then, early in the process, they'd surely be speaking with really knowledgeable people who know the industry and pitfalls.

Actually, the story is that Musk made it up on a whim while stuck in L.A. traffic, founded the company the same day and bought a used drilling rig which started digging in the Tesla parking lot.
IoT needs a code of ethics
To talk about `positive` or `negative`, we first need to establish the fact that these things mean the same to all of us. That we have the same shared interests, overall.

Personally, I just don't believe that to be true. I do benifit from globalization, and my interests directly collide with first-world factory workers, for example. It's a normal and common situation - we have a lot of institutions that are working on balancing this conflicts in peaceful and productive way, from capitalism to democracy.

But to pretend that we all really want the same thing and the problem is just in intellectual disagreement over what is the best path of action is just silly.
Yes, it's called a subway. Being on average 5-10x faster than a car in a city, having stops every 5min walking time, having someone else who always keeps it clean instead of you, and allowing you to still do something or read something instead of driving.

It's cheaper, faster (the time spent on the car elevator is a massive reduction in efficiency for Musks system), and you don't have to own or clean a car.

This is bizarre. Informative, factual posts that are not rude or insulting are "off topic" now?

It wasn't a grammar Nazi post or about a typo, advice/advise is a common and easily corrected error that should be corrected, and I did so as politely as possible. Most people would appreciate it (I know I would).

All you've done by removing a single post (with multiple upvotes) from the thread is increase the chances that other people will copy/make the same mistake.

Edit: in fact it's even more baffling than I first thought, you didn't even remove it, you simply moved it to a position where some people, if they get that far, will not understand what it's about.
I was surprised when I came to replace my 7 inch nexus that there wasn't a recent 7 inch tablet from a major player with good reviews.

GNOME is part of the GNU project. If you think that the GNU project would use a proprietary product, you might want to have a refresh of what the GNU project stands for.

The fact that Linus used proprietary software to manage Linux was not seen positively by the community and eventually (after one of the developers tried to write a free client to interact with their proprietary service) everyone in the free software world got a reminder why we shouldn't promote or use proprietary services (the "gratis tier" access got revoked for the project).
I recommend you first try mass transit in Berlim, Tokyo, Singapore,etc before discussing this.

Your impression of mass transit seems to be very biased due to the american fuckups with them.
I figured someone who has no idea what they were talking about would say that. They're fresh but I'm not going to teach as to all the reasons why, as it's clear you don't do much with science, research or archaeology. Good luck.
I very recently purchased a new Hyundai i30. Should I be worried?
If the goverment wants jobs then why don't they just do so?

They have the mandate to create new regulation. They could for example say that pumping gas at the station is a job that requires training and only qualified personnel can do this job.

That would instantly create new jobs and the businesses would be forced to accommodate.

Hiring someone is a last recourse for any business since it's very expensive so you can't expect businesses to magically create jobs.
We use it internally at the company I work for. I wouldn't say it's a bad product, but I wouldn't say it's a good product either.

We've logged countless UX regression issues on their issue tracker and each one has taken 9 - 12 months to fix. Meanwhile, they keep churning out new features that we don't use.

I wish they'd just stop adding new features and spend 6 months fixing their UX and improving stability + performance.
Having a servant who is paid but is well-cared-for is problematic, but not necessarily wrong. Having a servant who is abused daily, made to sleep on the floor, kept away from her family, forced to work when sick, denied medical care for no good reason, and not allowed to leave is blatantly obviously wrong. There's nothing but physical/sexual violence distinguishing this from the horror stories of the pre-Civil War American South.

That much at least is pretty black and white, and even 100 years ago that was not the default state of most wives, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, and I'm certainly not sure what you think is "lite" here.
No, the key is: enough government + vigilant citizenry.

In other words, the key is the people being ahead/in-control of the government, and using it to protect their collective interests.

It's mostly due to how much people prefer personal transportation over public transit.

There are obvious benefits of being able to come and go as an individual instead of relying on public transit.

Why are you so convinced that it's not happening ?

Each time something, which used to be done by humans, is done by a machine, that time spent doing that something is no longer payed to a human and only a fraction goes to the makers of the machine - that's the whole point of automation - reduce costs and increase productivity.

It doesn't lead to [more] humans being payed more money.

I think intuitively it makes sense, but coming up with undeniable proof is quite hard in the globalized economy - the effects of automation often happen further away in the supply-chain graph.

The 'modernized' company just stops importing or paying for X, because they can now do it 'in-house' for a fraction of what it cost them before.

The effect of that is that someone somewhere on the other side of the planet might not be able to find a job doing X as easily as they did before. Or their company goes bankrupt. Is it because of automation ? Could be.

It might create new opportunities, but those require newer and 'higher-level' skills - and as these opportunities arise, someone somewhere is already hacking away trying to automate them. And we're getting better and better at this, so the new opportunities are only available for a short period of time, until someone comes up with a brilliant new way of doing things. The software world is a great example.

I personally think it's very real and being in denial the way that many people in SV are, does not improve matters. We (the technologists) should at least ponder upon these questions and figure out solutions - otherwise we're leaving that in the hands of politicians, which serves as zero comfort to me.

Why do companies offer early retirement incentives?

Because it is easier to reduce your workforce when folks choose to leave rather than if they go unwillingly. If you get enough reduction from this method, folks aren't as worried about their jobs. And i'm guessing in the long term, there are fewer disgruntled ex-employees.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to wait until the day(or week or month) that you'd otherwise offer them to leave on, and fire them right then without any benefits? Especially since the stated purpose of it is to save money.

Possibly upfront, but not in the long run. The nearly retired folks are more likely to earn more money and will likely be retiring at some point anyway so a fair amount of the costs will be happening nevertheless. From what I've seen, usually there is a decent one-time bonus and possibly earlier earning on retirement. With regular firing, unions generally require the lowest seniority folks go first. Over time, this is actually more expensive with day to day operations because these folks tend to earn the least. Plus all the hits to the employee morale.

Needless to say, spending and income are two different things. This is very easy to see if, for example, one spouse loses their job and the other continues to do exactly the same housework and child rearing -- but now can spend much less.
This is entirely rational behavior. Without credible ironclad insurance to backstop one's risks, "hoarding" assets is the proper path to take.

I think you missed the first point I made. Tesla will be THE biggest ride-sharing service once it gets to scale with self-driving cars. Why would you buy a car in a large city if it'll be 2.50 to get to work in a self driving, all electric car? In California there are toll roads all over the place. How are the tunnels different from a normal toll freeway? Tesla could allow use of the tunnels for a fee. This fee will be the deciding factor between whether I take uber, google, lift or tesla. I am going to take whatever offer is cheaper. I'm suprised there isn't an app out there yet that lets you compare prices for your destination through various ride hailing services, but i'm sure there will be one in the future.
