CAN frames are not standardized. You cannot have a single command to do operations on any car. Each manufacturer has different bit patterns and also it varies between car models. Atleast with Chrylsers I know its true. There should be a lookup based on the car's model with a unified API which I think will happen soon based on the pace of car tech progress. Also note that once the frame is on the bus, it get executed and an ACK will be sent. There is no authentication mechanism in place. So once you put a frame into the CAN bus, there is no way to stop it. This will be the top pain points for car techs to fix.
I'm a founder at a high-growth startup in Mountain View. I always tell potential hires, "options are worth nothing until they're worth something. And, they may never be worth anything."

I think that's the opposite of the unrealistic optimism job candidates get. But I think it also helps set the stage for a culture of transparency and honesty very early. Even before that person becomes an employee.

I'm curios to know what HN'ers think of that explanation vs hearing only the optimistic case. Does it make you second guess the company prospects?
I simply will not spend time tailoring a nascent or even mature product to 0.0001% or whatever minscule percentage of the population turns off JS. If you turn off JS, you get a blank screen. Why should I accommodate your cohort? Why write unit tests for someone who takes a standardish client with above 1% market share and does something completely unstandard with it?
Depends who you want to fool. If it's a human-to-human transaction in a busy setting (like a marketplace transaction or something similar) it's pretty easy to slip a simple fake without getting caught. Especially if you mix it with real currency and only use small bills.

I remember watching a news report a few years ago where the journalist tried doing just that (with photocopied euro bills on regular paper without any clever trick) and he had a pretty high success rate.

That being said I can't really imagine anybody doing that at a big enough scale that somebody would bother tracing printer dots back to them. I don't think the authorities are going to bother with that if you slip a dozen fake 10 euro bills around Paris. I guess it can be dissuasive though, keeping honest people honest.
Please tell me tgat this has no chance in the Senate.
I've only observed Bitcoin from a distance as I've never needed to send or receive money online and not really been able to invest in things. I didn't learn about Bitcoin until only ASIC mining was viable, but I've never had a GPU (yes, that cash-strapped) so it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

So, I'm curious. What's a decent, low-drama/no-fuss broker I should be few issues with? Reason is obvious. :P

I'm completely ignorant of Bitcoin features I might like; I'll primarily want to export to USD (in the US), and maybe AUD (in .au).
Can you do lazy loading with just HTML and CSS? You can load the map around the GPS coordinates you start on, but what if you go 20 miles north? How do you: A) figure out what are the new GPS coordinates that your viewport is looking at? And B) load the map within the viewport centered around the new GPS coordinates that you're looking at without ajax?

Unless you are a sought-after C-level executive, hardly any legitimate companies are going to even consider your "clever hacks."

The first one blows up 409a (requires optionholder to pay fair market value for the shares). As to the second, very, very few investors are going to allow "their" money to be used for a common stock repurchase (at the same per share price) instead of going toward's the company's operations/development/whatever.
Solid proactive suggestions, especially the latter, which I wish I had done at my last company. At my current one, I just elected to pre-exercise.

I received a delivery from a black gentleman today. Whilst reaching out for the package I was concerned he may think I'm racist if I wasn't excessively nice to him.

I think I may be uncomfortable around minorities for fear of being labelled a racist. I have a similar worry around women.

I think becoming racist would solve my concerns -- at least in my own mind. However, it doesn't make any sense to do that: individual differences are larger than differences between race. I would be inflicting an incorrect model of the world on myself.

Does anyone have any advice on how to think about the issue? Is becoming a racist the best solution, so I'm able to function more effectively? (So I can disregard my concerns and carry on working toward what I feel is valuable.)

What an amazingly balanced and collected comment.

Back in the 80s there was a famous "hack" which was to take a small bill, in my case a $5 bill, and one would use clear packing tape and create a tether on the bill.

You would put the bill in a vending machine and once it read it and credited the transaction you could yank the bill out of the machine and make a selection, and you'd pic the cheapest thing in the machine and it would give you the goods and change.

The only machine in my town that this worked on was at the local post office on the stamp machine.

I had a shit-ton of stamps, and nobody to write to as a twelve year old hooligan. But I was able to buy a lot of ice cream and lame toys with the change stolen from that machine.

Sorry post office!

Google and Symantec settled on this. Symantec will create new certificate roots which will be cross-signed by both their existing roots and another certificate authority. This allows the trust in the existing roots to be removed in the long term and it has significantly less impact for current Symantec customers than the original proposal.

I tried Pharo awhile ago, but last I checked the HiDPI support was still not there, and the menu was just unusable on my QHD+ screen.

It's a bit of a common point of frustration for me, because I've had the same problem with Squeak, Dolphin, and several other flavors of Smalltalk that I've tried. Because of this, the only version of Smalltalk that I've actually been able to work on has been GNU Smalltalk in a terminal.

This is disappointing, because I really want to play with it more. Can anyone recommend a modern version of Smalltalk with a GUI that has HiDPI support?

The clock is to remind you to take a walk. To prevent the bad effects of prolonged sitting you need to get up and move about every 30 or so minutes.

Most people can easily, effortlessly, sit much longer than that before they start to feel stiff or restless and so naturally take a break. It is very easy to unintentionally end up sitting too long.
I think that should be forbidden.

We have a legal principle in most countries that you can't be forced to testify against yourself or against family, or that the court can't use illegally obtained evidence. If we were just interested in solving crimes above all, we wouldn't have those restrictions. Why don't we e.g. make the punishment for not confessing or denunciating equal to the punishment for the crime itself?

In the same vein, I think there should be a restriction in place in principle. Your stuff cannot be made to work against you.

The police should not be able to remotely stop your car via software. And more importantly, if you have any implants like a pacemaker, the police should not be able to use that to incapacitate you. It's entirely concievable that at some point there will be a hostage situation where the criminal has an implant, and somebody will come up with that plan.

More general, as "stuff" is becoming more and more intelligent, we should be able to trust our stuff. I think it is a fundamental value in the modern "information society" or "IOT world" or "industry 4.0" or what you might call it.

The idea seems crazy at first, but the more I think about it, it is right up there with free speech, or the idea that my wife can't be forced to testify against me. (Or, controversially, the right to bear arms - and I say that as a liberal who is for strict gun control! - but I think the sentiment is related. When the government goes out of control, some people want to rely on their guns - I think that is not realistic, and harmful for society - but I just want to be able to rely on my laptop, to be able to write subversive content without it ratting me out!)

These two things aren't mutually exclusive. You can do both (even though granted there are lots of people out there in the latter category). You can obviously be an excellent physicist and argue against unjust situations at the same time, and also you don't have to be an expert in a field in order to recognize and protest extant sexism.
What are the best data science bootcamps of 2017?
I remember a sociologist once remarking that prejudice (racism in the case we were discussing) exists quite apart from an individual's intentions.

Most of the comments here appear to assume that prejudice is determined solely (or mainly) by the moderator's intentions-- hence the endless quests to somehow prove what is or isn't lurking in the moderator's soul.

That seems irrelevant in this case, but I haven't read the relevant sociological literature so that's all I can say.

Are there any sociologists here that can flesh this out (with citations)?

Edit: clarification
Right, but this is at developer discretion. I always want to see user-level control for privacy-enhancing features.

That's a good point. Maybe app developers should be able to request the level of access they want, like precise location, neighborhood (postal code), city, state or country.

If an app never needs more precise information than the country (say Spotify trying to decide whether they operate in your country), they don't need to request it. That also guards against bugs or security breaches in apps that try to do the right thing.
> counter the offer with a requirement that the company offer to buy back the equity at the most recent preferred share price, if the company accepts investment at a valuation exceeding $100mm.

As a founder I wouldn't ever agree to that term as written. For starters, your options are common stock whereas investors have preferred. That just means you have to apply a discount though.

More importantly, I've seen first hand the change in team dynamics that happens when some "early" employees get a windfall. Not so much jealousy as this weird sense of complacency which permeates the entire co.

The truth is that at $100mm (heck, even at $1B valuation) the company hasn't "made" it yet. There is still tremendous risk on the table.

I think your idea is interesting, but I might add some step functions. At $100MM the co offers to buy back 1% of your shares, at $500MM up to 5% of your shares, at $1B up to 10% of your shares, and so on.

Realistically what happens is that in large, very late-stage rounds, the company gives employees the chance to sell some of their shares to the new investors at a discount (because of the common vs preferred situation).
How do you know the percentage. Some stuff you may just never know. I very consciously avoid websites I know use a lot of JS or are bloated on mobile. Mostly news websites.

I often read in subway, where I need to load the page in 3-4 seconds or I'm in the tunnel again without the signal. In some stations I only get 50kbit/s or so.

Most websites don't cut it so I don't even bother. Those who cut it though, I get engaged with more, because I can't go anywhere else without a signal.

In a nice world I would write a scrapper + alternate website that hosts only the content and some simple navigation over plain HTML, preferably with as little CSS as possible. There's the annoyance of copyright though, so no way of making this public.
That doesn't make much sense to me. B/W only (not greyscale) is currently understood to not output these dots at all, so why would the presence of yellow matter?
But again, his bad social skills only kicked in for the woman.

We can't ever know for certain if it was sexism. I'm not saying take the guy out and shoot him. I'm not even saying do the thing we normally do and try and humiliate him in a public space. I'm saying: This is evidence of the accepted cultural norms in a society that I don't think anyone would disagree was largely designed by and is largely ruled over by men, and there are consequences to that.

Yes, poverty of parents is predictor of poverty of children, but for a large part, it isn't about money. It's about those contagious factors - for instance, how much the parents want their children to do well in school, how much they care about it. So fixing the poverty metric isn't going to change this, something else might.

At least what I read about the number of poor black American kids growing without a father: it's shocking. There seems to be a widespread collapse of culture of having a stable kernel family. What could be done about it?
Which of the sites mentioned in the article would you expect JS to be necessary to use?
Nope, you can install additional certificate authorities in the system keychain on Mac, which Safari and Chrome both use. Commonly done on managed installs.

https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/11830/deploying...

Other applications on mac/linux that use their own keystore like OpenSSL or Java will throw cert errors if you don't also install the CA in their keystores, but that could be scripted as well if it causes too much friction for users.

If you're in such an environment, the options are either install the CA or don't use anything that requires HTTPS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
