Driving is infinitely harder than flying, from the perspective of a truly autonomous system. Once at altitude, there isn't much to run into. There are also very few possible emergencies that demand the pilot's attention within the next few seconds. Midair collisions are about the only exception I can think of, and there are already automated systems in place to prevent those. Bird strikes might be another, but those don't tend to coincide with periods of autopilot usage.

For a motor vehicle, though, the idea that "eyes off" and "mind off" should exist as separate levels of autonomy is just nuts. "Eyes off" will absolutely be interpreted as "mind off" by the majority of real-world drivers. It doesn't make sense to offer an "eyes off" solution at all, IMHO. Wait until we can genuinely call it a "mind off" solution.

Ask HN: Setting terms for buying back
Looking for some business advice HN.

Say you have an idea and some capital and need partners for sharing risk. But you want to set a clause for being able to buy the property back.

What could be a possible set of terms to do so? Both while the firm is private and potentially public (in which case only the private part will be bought by me).

The intention is not to swindle anyone and lets assume all 3 of us understand the market currently.
This sounds like a cyberpunk story.
There is rarely a silver bullet, and I don't see one in the case of Bitcoin. Even if lightning network (which is what everyone who does not see the need for a block-size increase points to) was available today, we would need larger blocks to reach VISA-scale. The responsible thing to do is to increase the blocks as early as possible while we still are in "beta".
"The fact there isn't a private dislike button (that no one sees you clicked other than Facebook), is remarkable at this point. It's either woefully obtuse, or intentional so that a feed of false positives better hides moderately targeted ads."

I vote the last option. I think there was an explanation, basically saying it would make people upset or sad and they wanted to avoid that. The solution wound up being a variety of emotions to pick from (which counts more than a simple like). They included negatives like "angry" or "sad".... I'd still just rather have a simple dislike button.

Well, technically you could write `val opt: Option[Int] = null`, but I've never seen it used and would seriously consider sending the author back to a course Scala for Dummies.

It's interesting how many bugs can be found by static analysis. The problem with C and C++ is that the domain of 'normal' operations is much larger than Java, leading to more false positives in static analysis and/or less true positives.

IMO actually displaying text is not the big challenge in a text editor.

The tricky part is the user interface, text transformation (sed, query-and-replace, pipe through external programs...), text parsing (for syntax highlighting and code folding for instance) and invoking external applications, for instance to compile code or post-process your document. Web browsers are not particularly good at any of these things since they're not needed to purely "browse" the web.

If you want performance while handling big files you also need to optimize the way you stream data from the disk, something browsers are terrible at. Is there any web-technology-based editor that handles big files decently? Last time I've seen a benchmark it was pretty abysmal. Not that Emacs is great at it (it was pretty bad for a long time actually, especially pre-64bit computers) but it still was orders of magnitude faster than Atom for instance: https://github.com/jhallen/joes-sandbox/tree/master/editor-p...
Indeed.

If you change the output of "ls", you know everything that uses ls will break and you can bump a major version. But if you change e.g. the date format to include a timezone (visible when -l is specified), does such a change really warrant a major version bump? It's just a minor change but it might still break things. Or maybe if you refactor some stuff in curl, the curl-dev package might suddenly be incompatible with something that depended on it.

ETC's price is being pumped up (some more context can be found on /r/ethereum), in some cases by taking advantage of newcomers looking to get into the ETH craze, helped by the fact that the Ethereum Foundation doesn't seem interested in maintaining ownership how the word "Ethereum" is used.

Even if you have a health club membership it's going to pay off getting a fixed of dumbbells for the ones days while hitting the gym is an excessive amount of trouble you could nevertheless get a wonderful exercise along with your dumbbells! So when you come to buy your first set of dumbbells you may be confronted with this question; fixed or adjustable? Fixed Weight Dumbbells constant weight dumbbells are precisely how they sound. They are dumbbells in which the load given is the identical no matter what you do with it. These dumbbells frequently are available in units of various weights so you can change and alternate them in keeping with the exercising you're doing. Adjustable Dumbbells Adjustable dumbbells, as you may have guessed, will let you alter the burden of the dumbbell via including and getting rid of weights from the quit which might be tied on by using a clip, pretty an awful lot a mini barbell. Other adjustable dumbbells permit you to trade the weight speedy by using turning a dial on the weight or through shifting a pin alongside.

Every time I see a new WYSIWYG text editor, I wonder: do people really need to set single words in bold, italic, underline, and strike-through?

I feel like this is a leftover of the old times, back when first WYSIWYG editors appeared and these capabilities were impressive. I think these days what one needs is not bold/italic, but facilities for editing structure, inserting links, and positioning images, all according to a style template.
I don't even see a problem with the concept, although customers should clearly be more aware of the precise terms. It's certainly no worse in principle than, say, fractional reserve banking. And obviously no one should end up with a bloody face.
Thanks.

Not so much in others.
This looks dubious to me. Not least do to the healthy flow of people moving from other languages to Visual Basic.

Also byte flow makes little sense for programming languages. lower level languages are going to be more verbose than high level languages. They'll be used for different things. Some will have tonnes of boilerplate that travels with the project (e.g java). Forked projects? etc.

Further, to me it seems that this ought to be a more descriptive thing of how something happened in the past and not subject to probability unless the claim is a prediction about next years conversions between languages or that conversions are stationary over time.

I.e a set of metrics that proxy transitions and an order list of from and to, would be just the ticket IMO.
Come eliminare i tag della pelle in modo giusto
> Can anyone explain to me why anyone would invest in an organization like this?

In my case, because the "investment" is free and thus completely devoid of risk. I bought Tezos using unused Bitcoin I had laying around. Even if it turns out to be a total loss, all I lost was Bitcoin. I cannot lose "real" money because I have bought Bitcoin cheap enough and sold enough to get my Euro investment back.

The worst case that could happen would be Tezos completely tanking and Bitcoin skyrocketing, which would make me a multi-millionaire with one million Euros less than I could have had if I had not bought Tezos. I'm prepared to take that risk.

3 Ways Big Data and Analytics Are Making Big Changes in Healthcare
What I did a couple years ago was this:

- Go to yellow pages or something similar in your country

- Search for companies nearby where you live in a specific sector (for example hairdressing, car repair shops etc.)

- look for a template on themeforest or another site in this sector

- download theme, make for every company a version with their logo

- Cold email them with the demo page and tell them you would like to implement their site for xy amount. Well add a little more text :)

I only did this twice but both times I sent like 5-6 mails and got one company accepting my offer.
After living in Hong Kong for a while, what stood out to me the most – compared to European cities – was the lack of traditional cultural elements in the form of museums, theaters, art or architecture. Guangzhou seemed the same, just must more poor. Entertainment is almost ironically fully consumerist or decadent in communist terminology.
Apple aside, there is anyway an issue with a broken market for spares and repairs.

A single data point:

I recently went shopping for a replacement pump for a (professional) dishwasher, and while I was at it I was looking for a spare "programmer" (which is an electromechanic thingy, a motor with reduction gears and three cams that operate switches at a given timing).

I was given an estimate from the local repair shop for the repair between 500 and 600 Euros (the machine, new, can be bought for around 1300 - 1500 Euros), the actual machine being some 9 years old (though just fine, apart the pump sometimes not starting at first try) it plainly means "get a new dishwasher".

The pump (which is common enough, used in some 8 or 10 brands of dishwashers) is made in Italy, the actual factory is no more than 150 km away from where I live (but of course they don't sell directly).

The parts were quoted (another local spare parts shop) around 400 Euros.

I quickly found the same parts on e-bay and similar in England or in Germany for around 350 Euros (+ shipping) and finally found a dealer in Sardinia (which is a large island, a region off the coast of Italy) from which I got the parts (including shipping) for 290 Euro (this fact alone makes no sense whatsoever, we are talking of the stupid pump traveling for more than 800 km, partially across the sea going forward and back from Sardinia).

BTW I found the same pump in Spain, Polony and Romania at a much lower price but when you added the shipping it was more or less the same total.

We are not talking of an "aftermarket" or "compatible" spare, we are talking of exactly the same pump made by the exact same factory.

Then it took me around 1 hour time to replace the parts, and I am not a specialized dishwasher technician.
For those healthcare professionals seeking ways to leverage data insights, it is important to evaluate whether or not they are coming from a trusted source to ensure they are reliable and actionable. As data and analytics begin to increase access to information, we can expect that it will be easier for doctors, patients, researchers, and developers alike to share important health information freely.

Or something that might be a parallel of email reputation services -- SenderBase / IronPort (now Cisco) rating email servers by their spam loads, etc.

Rather than negative reputation, a positive reputation (vouch rather than warn) might be viable. (Negative ratings systems, digital or otherwise, tend to inspire various legal assaults.)

Desk lamp on each desk that each person can turn on and off at will.

If nobody ever turns on their desk lamps, add a very low level of ambient light with widely spaced ceiling lamps or torchieres using bulbs that mimic 40-watt incandescents in both brightness and spectrum. You want just enough light that people aren't tripping over every backpack or dropped pen on the floor.

Avoid fluorescents like the plague. The spectrum and frequency (fluorescents actually flicker at a frequency high enough that our brains smooth it out before interpreting the signal - but doing so is taxing on the brain) both contribute to headaches and fatigue.

Anyone who wants more light than the ambient can and should use their personal desk lamps.

Meanwhile, leave your windows unshaded so employees can take advantage of as much natural light as the season allows - it's important for mental health and circadian rhythms.

That makes it a better analogy. Hearing aid users get to choose how loud sounds are based on what they want to hear; people who make noise don't make that decision for them. A hearing aid user who tunes their device to make adverts quieter is the equivalent of a web user who installs an ad blocker. That's exactly how the web should be - users should choose what's a priority to them, not the suppliers of the service. Just as advertisers should never be allowed to make their adverts sound louder to hearing aid users.
I think older civilizations may have discovered something like this and put it into practice, giving rise to the myth of Vampires.

The Vampires of lore are described as very old people who suck the blood of youngsters to stay alive. The parts about them fearing sunlight, or garlic, or whatever, might just be based on side-effects of this cure for ageing. The inaccuracy of "sucking" instead of transfusion, might be because nobody survived to recount the exact way in which vampires took their blood and what they did with it. All they knew was that bodies of young people would sometimes be found, drained of blood and with tiny syringe-like marks on their necks.

In fact, they might still be among us, ruling our world from the shadows :-)

The problem is that nobody really tests all the versions they specify in a dependency list. They just install the dependencies, and if everything works, commit the file.

In PHP we usually have a version range in libraries' dependencies and lock file that specifies exact dependency versions for the entire application. So you can be sure that you get tested combinantion of libraries.

I think it could make a pretty large difference, actually. Languages like JavaScript (I know it's not included here, but still), Ruby and Python have large open source communities creating time of libraries in common usage. Compare that with a language like C#, which has an extensive standard library and comparatively less open source third party libraries. You'd expect that even if there was an equivalent number of private repos in both cases, the languages with a larger open source ecosystem would appear more popular in this analysis.
This headline seems misleading.

There's plenty of scenarios that fall short of "Earth uninhabitable by the end of the current century" that still deserve the adjective "catastrophic".

I would go as far as saying that even the absolutely best case (and totally unrealistic) scenario, where all countries immediately focus all their attention on fighting climate change is still going to be catastrophic for many people.

Doctor network. Start with doctors you know and use them to find or to screen doctors you don't. As others have said, you're screwed for anything non specialist where you can get good rate of success data for similar procedures.

If you're fishing for a product idea, I'd suggest it'd be useful even if you could relate doctors on pubmed to their specialities and practices or simply crawl all the hospital websites for their staff. Just knowing what options you have is half the battle. The other half is picking between them.
It also completely ignores security issues. It's worthless to require a library or package be a specific version number, if that version is behind on security fixes.

Yes, the developer might like a library, middleware, application server or whatever to be a specific version, but that ignores that in a production environment you can be behind on security fixes.

It's completely reasonable to lock your code a specific major release of some dependency, assuming it's still being patched, but minor release should be something your patch management solution just applies.

From an operational point of view, I think the original approach of Go, where HEAD of a dependency was just pulled from the repository of the dependency, is the right way to go. If something break, you fix it, because it needs to be done a some point anyway.

I see this all the time with Java middleware. Some developer specifies that we need JBoss version X.Y.Z and not patch unless they say so. At the same time we're required to patch the operation system with the latest security patches. Well what's the point of that if the only service exposed to the Internet is the only thing not being patched?
