Reddit is all but dead. Everyone has moved over to voat.co. Good luck monetizing the bloat that's left.
You can't enable this. Too much abuse.

1. Make a post "Who likes Ice Cream!?"

3. Change post to "Who likes pedophilia?"
Good idea - and if the Feds think that asking for backdoors in encryption is reasonable, I don't see how they could possibly disagree with that.

I mean... Autopilot is software, right?
the question is one of responsibility in the case of accident. is it the owner of the car? or the driver? what happens when there is no driver? well, my guess is that TSLA the manufacturer of the auto-driving software is going to be liable in place of the driver, and as such, they have every right to say, nope, no using our auto-pilot for commercial activity unless it is on our own network where we can self-regulate to make sure we are liable for as few of problems as possible.
I didn't know why he was so hell-bent against the movie then noticed this side link in the article: http://www.newsweek.com/documentary-inside-julian-assange-wo...

Assange comes off as a real machiavellian style asshole with vanity and manipulation seeming to him at least as important as his cause.

Snowden and Assange often seem to get lumped together but there's a world of difference in personal character, and also in mission. Saying such varied and complex issues are all just "leaking" does both their supporters and detractors a disservice. Details matter especially with so much at stake.

If GM claims that all Chevys produced in their factories have airbags, do you reject that because the ‘86 IROC-Z doesn't have one?
"All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory" is present perfect tense, implying an event that happened at an unspecified time in the past and continues to the present. You would have to add "ever" to include all vehicles ever produced.
We get it, you're a sovereign individual. That doesn't mean we shouldn't educate people about what exactly they are buying and the risks involved.
There is a real risk here that many of these ICO teams get heavily fined and shut down by the SEC, regardless of if you think the SEC existing is a good thing or not. Spreading this knowledge is the right thing to do, trying to get people to turn a blind eye will only make you look more like you're trying to promote a ponzi scheme.

Again, this comment implies no notion of ethics in the existence of the SEC or the tokens. I'm only promoting buyer-awareness.

Unfortunately, going to a pharmacy as opposed to a grocery store isn't enough to ensure that you will get something actually helpful. CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid all have plenty of homeopathic offerings.

Worse, the labeling as homeopathic is often not very prominent, and these products are shelved with the non-homeopathic products that treat the same thing the homeopathic ones purport to treat. It is easy to not realize you have picked a homeopathic product if you are in a hurry, or if whatever you are there to get help for has left you kind of zonked out.
> Maybe they don't want to fix what's not broken

Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be the case. They haven't been hiding that they're gearing up for a major redesign.

From what I've seen so far, I'm not at all excited for it. They launched user profiles recently, and it's an uninspired blocky design with way too much unnecessary whitespace for a desktop site. Also, even on desktop there is noticeable Javascript induced lag and content pop in. Although the rest of the profile page tries to look like a standard reddit page, it's actually entirely done with react and the subreddit/notification bar at the top has the same lag and content pop in. They're also hiring mainly for React frontend/Node.js backend, so I'm worried the entire redesign is going to be low density and slow.

Well it isn't currently clear that they do. Tesla can write whatever they want into the car version of a EULA, but it doesn't mean there is legal merit to any of it.

Assuming Tesla eventually "catches" someone using a Tesla for ride sharing profit outside of their network they could remotely disable the car, at which point they will surely be sued and the courts will decide.

And they will very likely decide against Tesla, IMO. The immediate reaction to this statement is bound to cause people who work purely in the software realm to protest, but to most courts software is still a very nebulous thing. Disabling someone's car (after selling it to them outright) because they did something with it that you didn't like is EASY to understand, anathema to the entire history of car ownership and I really don't think it'll fly.

This might be well known, but is there are good resource for knowing what the various mathematical symbols mean? I only got as far as first year uni maths and I find that when I look at maths papers that are interesting for a problem I want to solve I can't make much progress on working out what all the symbols mean.

Almost all the time once I see the code that implements the mathematics then it is easy to understand, but making sense of all the different symbols is very hard especially when different fields seem to use the same symbols to meant totally different things.

The advantage is you are tied to the IR and not the compiler (if the language designs it's own IR), the disadvantage is the same as the compiler optimizes via passes on the IR. What would be needed is a way to 'hold' optimizations on the IR so that you aren't playing a game of will-it-optimize (or worse will-it-not).

Great to see the Firefox Developer Tools team continue to make use of React and Redux as they rebuild things! They already used React+Redux to rebuild the Debugger (https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html , http://mozilla.github.io/devtools-docs/react.html ), and clearly it must be working well for them :) Definitely a couple nice examples of more complex "real-world" apps that go well past the TodoMVC level of detail. Looks like the source for the Network Monitor is at https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/tree/master/devtools/cl... .

(Also, will throw out a pointer to my React/Redux links list at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links if anyone wants tutorials or info on best practices for using them.)

I very rarely load up reddit on mobile but did so this morning and noticed the exact same message and couldn't believe it. The selling feature they use for the mobile app on that message was that it was faster than the mobile site. I don't see why that needs to be the case - it seems the reason the mobile site is slow is because they force it to do client side rendering. Or at the very least, just that it's Javascript heavy. I'm not sure why reddit needs to be like that given the content.
It's also not the original work of art. It's a derivative.

> According to a 1996 publication by Privacy International, around 100 countries had enacted laws making identity cards compulsory.[1] In these countries, the card must be shown on demand by authorised personnel under specified circumstances. In some countries alternative proof of identity, such as a driving licence is acceptable. Privacy International said that "virtually no common law country has a card".[1]

> The term "compulsory" may have different meanings and implications in different countries. Possession of a card may only become compulsory at a certain age. There may be a penalty for not carrying a card or other legally valid identification (a passport, for foreigners); in some cases a person may be detained until identity is proven. This way the police can identify fugitives

On the list are 14 out of 28 EU countries if my count is correct. And a few more European non-EU countries.

Humans have the computation equivalent of 38 petaflops of processing power. Does a Tesla vehicle?

If you seriously want to play the inane game of "well if a human doesn't have it then a Tesla doesn't need it" then let's play that game and talk about the things humans have that the Tesla lacks.

What's interesting about human's vision system is that the human eyeball is, relatively speaking, poor. We have digital cameras far better than that already. It is what the human brain that does with that raw data which makes us, as a species, thrive. Most of what we believe we "see" we never actually see, our brain fills in the gaps dynamically and infers information over time.

So this human processing ability, much of it automated rather than conscious, is totally relevant if you want to have this "Tesla Vs. human" debate. It is also why Lidar might be needed to make up the massive shortfall in a Tesla's processing ability relative to the human brain.

But hey, you want to keep to the "but HUMANS don't need it" then I ask where is my 38 petaflops and 1 TB of memory...
I don't know why people still support Assange so clearly. It was interesting to me that people on /r/The_Donald love Assange so much. Before this documentary, I posted there criticising Wikileaks and it was totally hated on. I find that weird because the idea that Assange is unreliable and fake, was the kind of somewhat-counter-main-narrative idea that I thought people of T_D would appreciate. They seem to see him as some sort of hero. I wanted to point out that he seems to me to have once been good, but then he squandered by trading whatever his mission originally was, with some bullshit idea of being a martyr to serve his ego. I can't respect someone who talks about curing the world of ignorance, and having the courage to tell the truth, but then cowers for 7 years in a embassy because he's too afraid to stand up and tell the truth, whatever it was, about what happened. I mean, I know his existence is useful to the IC and various interests, but I personally just find him disgusting. And I genuinely had some belief in what Wikileaks could have stood for. But I don't really see it as that now. To me, Wikileaks and Assange totally sold out. Sorry to offend anyone who feels very differently. This is just my opinion on it.
I can't help but think to myself "it's faster because I don't have to erroneously click out or onto this obnoxious popup ad"
The author posted this in both /r/javascript [0] and /r/reactjs [1] on Reddit, and got a number of detailed replies, including some extended answers from myself.

The point is if you auto-correct passwords then you vastly decrease the legitimate bad password rate... meaning you can be more aggressive about locking or flagging accounts with multiple incorrect password attempts.

I think paywalling reddit would kill it. It's not like Reddit Gold is very expensive ($30 a year). But I do think that simple friction (needing to hand over one's credit card information) is a barrier, combined with the fact that the Gold benefits are far from essential.

This is not news. Current Tesla vehicles with Autopilot 2 hardware can do nowhere near this aspirational list. My AP2 Model X cannot even tell when to turn the windscreen wipers on.

This is a statement of intent, and production vehicles are a long way from having software that enables this.
As a cofounder of Beeminder, this makes tons of sense to me! Plenty of room for a less nerd-focused take on this (we're heaving on the Quantified Self side) and other forms of motivation hacking besides commitment contracts based on graphs.

I should mention that we do have a partial charity option in our fancypants premium plan: http://blog.beeminder.com/infinibee (Beemium plan, $32/mo)

And we have a tiny bit of social accountability with this feature: http://blog.beeminder.com/supporters

Btw, I'm not sure about your term "penance" here. I mean, I see how you're using it for monetary commitment contracts, I'm just not sure I agree with the term. To me it implies assuaging guilt after the fact. I think commitment contracts are all about shaping incentives before-the-fact.

I kinda blame it on our sci-fi fiction: so far we cannot imagine a space adventure where there are no humans at the frontier. Even the most recent space-themed games and movies fall to this trope. It's almost an ego sort of thing - the main characters have to be human, which comes with all the drama of first-alien-contact, life support, etc.

With robots, all that risk is mitigated since there's no risk of loss of life. At the worst we have our bots self-destruct or something.
We should create a service where people can trade laptops when they go to conferences.
Let's be clear here - the people that are actually at fault for endangering lives are the terrorists. Not innocent people that made a mistake.

Or do you think that the terrorists are something other than human beings that have made a choice to be evil?

The police state that is China doesnt care about summit attendees, it cares about social harmony. Summit attendees should have a passport and a visa if needed. Otherwise they should act in a harmonius manner. If they can do that, then they will be disappointed to find out that the officials simply dont care about them. No one is going to ask friendly, personal questions in customs; no one is going to ask for an inventory of what is being carried in; no one is going to ask how much money you have with you; no one is interested in seeing and opening your electonics; no one is going to pay the least attention to your baggage.

Yes. You can get a DUI if you're in a car that's either turned on or has the keys in the ignition, even if it's parked.
Wait, this "optimization" stuff seems to be a tangent. So the basics: "hello world" for Ante is a "goto" macro. Forgive me but I'm having trouble seeing how mucking with IR yada yada produces "goto" in the target language so succinctly. Ante's README demonstrates this marvelously. How would this be done in the IR approach? It seems like it would have to be much more complex.
