I believe driver assist technology will get more and more advanced to the point where the car is essentially driving and you are giving suggested feedback. In other words -- the bad situations will be handled themselves. Following distance might be enforced and come with a warning, unless you really want to get dangerously close -- the car will "help".

Your viewpoint is how self-driving cars will come to be accepted into the mainstream. It will essentially sneak up on the average driver.

I would be extremely nervous to let a fully autonomous vehicle drive me given the current state of the art.

"open source", no matter the capitalization, means what the OSI has defined. Unreal Engine is neither Open Source nor open source. It is simply proprietary. To say otherwise is a practice known as "open washing" that companies use to appear community friendly when in fact they are not.
Generally, reading MSDN docs is a much nicer experience than reading most OSS sources, or specs, not to mention collecting workarounds from the ocean of issue tracker comments.

However I do agree OSS is important and great, especially when times that you do need to debug & trace into source code.

It's not like it was impossible to tip before. Now you just don't need to carry cash.
I agree with the multiple apps and not knowing which ones to use where.

However, as an example, when Uber and Lyft left Austin, one of the companies created locally (RideAustin) to replace the gap does allow payments via Apple Pay. Very convenient, and they also give you the option of rounding up to donate to a charity of your choice.

I guess it's just up to all the other options to realize what people want.

Ask HN: How can someone contact Facebook to resolve overcharging for ads?
Facebook recently charged me 7x the budget limit set for a 24 hour ad placement. All previously existing contact forms are gone or broken. Has anyone successfully contacted FB for this type of issue? Any FB devs who can shed some light on options? I'm a small one man op and these charges will destroy my budget for the next month. Right now it looks like a chargeback is my only option.
He's advocating for two classes of employees, those with and those without equity. That in my opinion is a recipe for failure. You will create a huge amount of resentment and pull apart a team that should be working together. Either everybody gets equity or nobody gets it.

I'm sorry but that's ridiculous to say. If you had enough knowledge about AWS security practices to assert that, you'd know not to say it.
I'm ok with this. I think the fear of important BI data entering a competitor's platform is real. Yes, its a bit of a tinfoil hat, but if the cost of using a different platform like Azure or GCP is roughly the same... I'm fine with it.

Here's an analogy. Let's say Walmart rented out space on their trucks to any company that needed it. Would Amazon be crazy to tell retailers on their platform that they can't use Walmart trucks, or they don't want Walmart trucks driving up to their loading bays? I don't think so. Corporate espionage is a real thing.

Its just a bonus that Amazon is a garbage company who deserves as little business as possible.
I didn't care until my SSD died and I had to decide whether to exchange it or not.
And also puts them in the impossible position of having enough top-notch Xen developers that can code a Xen data interception module that runs in the hypervisor to snoop traffic in real-time from instances, while at the same time, expecting this team to keep quiet about it while also making sure that no other team members who aren't "in the know" don't stumble upon the spying code and reveal it.

They have to snoop the data from the hypervisor since the only place it's available decrypted is on the virtual machine processing the data.
> Lyft is a lifestyle business its.

Not sure what "its" is, but characterizing Lyft as a lifestyle business seems absurd. It's not as highly leveraged s Uber is, but that's one of the few companies I can think of that one might consider more aggressive.
Amazon does similar practises, like not selling Chromecast/apple TV etc on their site.

No fan of Kalanick, but letting leadership fall to a 10 executive committee at such a critical moment in Uber's history sounds like a complete disaster. Uber needs to make serious bold moves and I don't think anyone is lined up to make them. My guess is they'll try another funding round, fail at that, then attempt to IPO at an uncertain share price.

Yes, we have found that the set of Internet Protocols were designed before the kind of security we expect today were appreciated. You are correct that we are not professional crypto people. But, crypto is just the starting point for cybersecurity that is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a secure system. What we did was start with crypto, and related technologies like cryptographic hashes, secrets, etc. and built a secure messaging system using the principles mentioned above. This has so far shown itself to be highly successful.

Hi, The reply buttons have apparently been disabled. I guess cybersecurity is too controversial for HN ;)

1) UDP leaks information, thereby violating the C in CIAA. TCP is subject to the SYN resource exhaustion attack, and is connection oriented which is brittle. Both are vulnerable to packet replay attacks, which is a particularly troubling problem for controls.

Yes, see the quotes on our website. And we do in house testing as well. We are happy to have pen testers (US only) try to defeat the system.

My thoughts exactly. Elon Musk is not known for vaporware or BSing. If he says something is doable, there's a good reason for it. Musk has a combination of vision, an understanding of physics, and execution ability unmatched by any other person (in my opinion). To say that he has painted himself in a corner is highly misinformed.
>Nevertheless, you can't deny that white people have advantage over blacks due to historical reasons.

Sure, but you can't contain a flood by swimming hard-enough against it on a personal basis. You need to build a dam. There needs to be a measurable deliverable for antiracism, and it can't be defined only over variables like "proportionate representation at Facebook". Not only is that a noisy, overdetermined variable, but most black people simply are not going to work at Facebook. Most people of any demographic don't work at Facebook.

This is because Bitcoin reached the limit of transactions that can fit in a block, which causes a bottleneck, which increases fees. This has been fixed for other cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin will soon (August 1st) fix it.
If you don't loan money to friends, this sounds like the worst loan conditions ever, don't do it. It's like loaning money to friends but worse. "A commitment to learning how to code" is a pretty subjective loan repayment/forgiveness condition, now you're in the position of judging whether he _really_ demonstrated that commitment. This is even _more_ complicated to your friendship than a straight loan.

Who knows if he really has motivation to learn to code at all, or is just doing it to get your money. Without his own internal motivation, learning is not gonna work. But even if he has internal motivation, this is still like loaning money to friends but worse.
Those laws protect against commercial exploitation, but not against endeavours of law enforcement or intelligence services. "Vorratsdatenspeicherung" (data retention) law just took effect. In fact the BND doesn't care about the law at all. Fear driven neo-con politics are en vogue as everywhere else. I think the main difference is the civil opposition which is probably a tad more vocal and active than in non-EU or soon to be non-EU countries.

Not necessarily. If your projection is that widespread autonomous vehicles don't arrive for 30 years, there is a lot of money in the meantime to be made being a horse-and-buggy company.

Those > can be instantiated a finite number of times and then used like non-templated code.

So you have a C++ file that uses vector<int>, vector<struct c_struct>, vector<CppClass>, vector<DClass>, etc. once and then you can link to them from D code.

The only case where that doesn't work is when you have lots of one-off instantiations, where requiring an instantiation in C++ code for each use in D would get annoying quickly.
I think Tesla also understands that once autonomous cars are ubiquitous, you won't own one: you'll just rent one for whatever needs you have in that moment. I think the best analog for the market dynamics that this will create is the airline industry -- a fleet of vehicles will be a massive investment, and ongoing maintenance, government oversight, etc. will be similarly cumbersome. But the job of the airline (actually operating the plane) is being done by the company creating the algorithms. That's a market control point that can be leveraged.

That's why ultimately, I feel Uber will end up being the Expedia/Priceline of the self-driving car industry. If you don't control the means of value production, you become a middleman. There's a reason they were working on their own self-driving tech rather than licensing from someone else -- everyone who is actually building this tech likely told them "go shove it, we can recreate what you do far easier than you can recreate what we do".

> We can imagine utopia and then imagine how we would treat people in that setting.

I am not suggesting a solution to the existence of injustice, which is what a utopia would entail. I am merely pointing out that simplistic rhetoric about believing accusors will not solve the problem.

> But if we're not actually in utopia, then we really are tipping the scales in some way. And that does suck, and sometimes that means that one group is going to be treated unfairly, but often it's about the lesser of evils.

And there we part ways. Adding up all the bad stuff that happens to one group, comparing it to all the bad stuff that happens to another group, and saying "if this makes the bad stuff in the big pile smaller, then having more bad stuff in the small pile is acceptable collateral damage" is not a good approach. Applied in the large it would quite likely lead to two much bigger piles. I know you probably don't recognise that as what you're doing, but your reasoning is far too simplistic given the complexities of the problem.
Their mission, to add more open source tools to the ai space, is already being accomplished by for-profit companies like Google and Facebook.

If it weren't attached to Musk, and if Tesla never hired from them, I'd agree it's good to have a non-profit in the mix. As it is, if it looks and acts like a pipeline for talent, it's a pipeline for talent.
Heh, it is amazing how perceptions change.

But now people get upset about a 12 hour delivery window.
It has been assumed that the rating system will be blind, meaning the drivers will not be able to see tips before leaving their rating. There is still the social pressure to leave a tip, but it likely will not be quite as rude as not tipping a traditional cab driver.
Where I grew up, the vast majority of people I knew very rarely left the county they lived in - even though it was only a couple of hours to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC. By the time I moved to Philadelphia, my social circle was much more likely to travel - but on the whole, the greater population of the city tends to stay within the city ("I have everything I need here, why would I bother with the hassle of going somewhere else?")

There, now we've both shared our experiences!

A benefit of installing using your system package manager is that you can rely on your distro to manage the security of the package. If you just `pip install` it, you need to personally watch for new security bugs and upgrade (or backport them to your current version, which is what e.g. Debian will do for you). You'd also need to do that for all of the dependencies.

Up to you if you trust your distro's security team, of course :). I trust mine.

TL/DR: Lessons from teaching a friend to code.

I have a friend who was looking for a career change. I've spent somewhere between 75 and 150 hours helping him learn to code. (Web development.) Here's what I learned in the process:

1. I highly overestimated how quickly one could learn web development with no prior programming experience. I was too optimistic, and I told him if he put serious time in, he could have the skills to build a simple web app in 6 months. He put in a more realistic amount of time than I'd suggested, balancing other areas of life. It took him closer to 18 months, including enrolling in a coding camp, which he's now about to complete.

2. Charging money for a service helps people take it seriously. At first I didn't charge him, but then I took the advice of a friend who has that philosophy. This isn't definitive evidence, but I think charging for the training helped both him and myself to take it seriously and put effort into it. He's now about to graduate from a code camp, and I'm not sure if he would have done it if not for establishing that mindset that this training is valuable. (I recognize the value of code camps is debatable.)

3. Motivation is an important (and tricky) thing. There were times where he was spending more time on video games than programming. But I remember when I was learning, and programming felt very hard and mysterious for years before I began to feel comfortable making an entire project on my own. The difficulty level was demotivating at times.

This is spot on. Since teaching myself to become a programmer I've also gotten much better as a musician, as a mechanic, as an amateur woodworker and as as learner of Spanish. The combination of dealing with logic, language and abstraction stimulates the brain across all endeavors.
My rhetoric has the advantage of being true.
Time to Quit the Nature versus Nurture Discussion?
Much of the resistance to Uber (such as laws that were broken, protests) were from entrenched interests. At least where I live in NYC, Uber was dramatically improving customer value while providing innovations that reduced greenhouse gas. It provided completion for the entrenched Yellow Cab monopoly with its very high rates. Sometimes Uber would have higher rates but then you could take a Yellow Cab instead.

The Yellow Cab special interests paid off politicians so that there was a limit of 13,000 Yellow Cab medallions for 8.5 million people. The price of the taxi medallion was $1.2 million. While people in Manhattan could get a taxi, there were no taxis in Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, ... Because of the artificial limit on medallions which only benefited medallion owner but not New Yorkers, a driver leasing a cab for a 12 hour shift could pay $125 just to lease the car.

When Uber and Lyft came, the rates were lower, one could use Uber Pool to have even lower rates and save on greenhouse gas. Now taxi services have some availability outside of Manhattan. Now many Yellow Cabs are idle and the value of the medallions went for $1.2 million to about $700,000 or less.

In NYC, the Yellow Cab medallion owners tried to get the mayor to put restrictions on the growth of Uber/Lyft, but New Yorkers protested.

Uber/Lyft have increased customer value, lowered greenhouse gasses while not forcing drivers to pay excessing leasing fees for vehicles.

> he oversaw the harassment

so he was standing over watching with approval as his employees were accosted? I doubt it. I think what's more likely is he didn't know about the extent of harassment (or didn't care, if you want to be cynical) and the initial HR non-response was likely just a really poor quality HR department designed to manage PR rather than solve employee problems. Organisations are more than just their CEO and while you can lay plenty of blame on him for allowing such a poor quality workplace culture to evolve, that doesn't necessarily mean that he's a big fan of sexual harassment in the workplace.
Optimizing for their audience maybe? Similar to sites putting "United States" at the top of a countries dropdown even though everything else is in alphabetical order? Just a guess.
You're free to just ignore the users that are being racist though. You just click their name and hit a button - you'll never see their messages again.

That's the big difference with an in-person event.

Anyway, I'd rather have 10,000 racist people in my Twitch chat than one special person who has to be guarded from hearing anything that offends them. People who constantly need to be guarded are doing way more harm than good for society IMO.

Also, that type of moderation never works the way it's intended. I've been to plenty of sporting events where I've heard racist remarks from people that didn't get in trouble for it.
This is a noble effort but your post is missing one key answer: is this person motivated enough to do it? Or just needs some money right now and maybe for the next month or two?

Coding is hard, and takes a lot of hours (like, a thousand or two) to get to basic proficiency. So yeah, you need a lot of will power and motivation to get it done. Especially outside formal setting like university, where you are pretty much forced to do it.

I know plenty of smart people who have uninspiring jobs with low salaries, and they keep talking how they will learn to code, but they don't manage to go past hello world.
