1) "within 15 years virtually all vehicular traffic in the US will be by autonomous electric vehicles"

This will be unfortunate news for the major auto manufacturers, who are designing their next-generation ICE-driven platforms that won't even hit the road until 5 years out and have 7-plus year manufacturing tenures.

2) "An EV? (motor will last) At least 500,000, maybe as much as 1,000,000."

The manufacturers don't have as much faith as this writer. The Ford Focus Electric, for example, is warrantied for only 36,000 miles.

3) "with so many fewer parts it’s relatively easy to make an electric car drive themselves"

For those actually doing the implementations: is autonomous driving "easy" just because the drivetrain is electric rather than ICE?

You're thinking of a private/residential Amazon Locker, which do exist (there's one in the student halls near me). I suspect that Amazon install them for free if there's enough people likely to use it. Amazon Hub is a different product.

Seagate ClusterStor Employees Move to Cray in Strategic Transaction – InsideHPC
Oh wow, I guess the company at my old Apt complex got bought out. Those racks are the exact same.

Still, those were terrible ideas. FedEx, USPS, and UPS all just dropped the boxes off on our door. The others made us use those machines. It wasn't too bad to go down and get the packages. Oh wait, then you forgot your phone and had to go all the way back up to get it to get the unlock codes off of your email. Then you had to be certain that your email would not send the code email into spam, so that sucked.

But if you were out of town or on vacation or just stressed from work or had a spam email mis-identification then it was a spawn worse than Satan. The system started to charge you, like 5$/day or something, for non-picked-up packages after like day 3. Guess who got a nasty surcharge after spending a month away for work and no email to tell me that things would get surcharged? Yeah, 150$ for some random thing my sister sent me unannounced was not a lot of fun.

And no, the apt complex signed onto this AFTER we moved in and with no notice on the lease or an update to us. I did get the complex to pay that crazy fee after storming in one morning and yelling a lot. Idiots.

As long as there is no charge for packages that don't get picked up and no 'max time' it can sit in a robo-bin, these things work great. If there is any charge at all, in any way whatsoever, avoid them like the plague, they are horrible.

> So you'd have to show that the action had stopped the business relationship being maintained

According to the article, Birkenstock policy is if anybody sells their Birkenstocks to Amazon, then they'll be blacklisted and will never receive another pair of Birkenstocks ever again. That sure sounds like Amazon's action stopping a business relationship from being maintained.

> does it have conservation of energy? Can you track total energy somehow?

You're going to need a geometric integrator for that, probably an energy-momentum integrator. In practice it is often better to conserve the symplectic form instead of energy, though, and you can show that for fixed time-steps you can't get all of energy/momentum/symplecticity at the same time (I haven't looked at this for a while, a student of the school of Marsden jump in if I'm saying anything wrong). Furthermore, these guarantees all require integrability...

Birkenstock can't restrict what customers do with the shoes, that's true. But that doesn't mean Birkenstock can't refuse to sell to that customer again.

Also, I don't know if any of this applies to resellers. The reseller isn't the customer.

An interesting spin to this question would be "What are 5 websites you once visited daily but now no longer visit?"

To answer my own alternate question: Biggest one for me would be Slashdot. It was once a great site for tech news. I feel as though HN is the Slashdot of the present.
Birkenstock isn't asking stores to figure out how to control what customers are doing. The problem is Amazon is approaching the stores themselves and attempting to buy out their inventory. This has nothing to do with customers deciding to sell their purchased shoes to Amazon.

Utopian literature typically uses conflict with a non-utopian society both because it drives drama/interest and because it provides a context (especially where the non-utopian society is familiar to the intended audience) for illustrating the contrast between what is proposed and the status quo.

A classical form of this conflict is the form of the interaction of a member (or group of members) of the non-utopian society (especially one with a strong pre-existing bias against the utopian society) thrust into the utopian society. Typically, the outsider is converted (if single; if there a multiple, the response is often that most convert, but having a minority of unconvinced holdouts isn't uncommon.)

Among others Walden Two and Ecotopia use variations of this.

>at the moment I feel like Alexa still has a sizable lead.

Do you really? I have 4 Echo & Echo Dots too and I love them, but the level of smart home integration is incredibly basic... "turn on the X (light)", "set the X (light) to 50%", "set the heat to 20" and "trigger find my phone".

(edit: this post sounds pretty negative, it's mostly frustration because the speech recognition is actually really good, so when it fails it's really noticeable & the shallowness of comprehension of what I'm actually saying to it is so shocking when the speech recognition tech is that good)

It will fairly often mishear light names (like my bedroom light, it confuses my name with "Theatre"), the integration will fail to contact a light (and instead of retrying the echo just says "I couldn't contact light X". It doesn't understand the room it's in (so I'm constantly having to name lights, rather than just tell it to turn on the light, or dim it).

I feel like the level of integration needed from people like Hue and Nest is so simple that even the most basic integration into a competitor (with just as good / better mic+voice tech) could blow Alexa away overnight... it actually feels like something you could build in a few hours with access to the Alexa processing repo.

...which really kills me, because as you say Alexa is better than anything out there, but it feels like all they're doing is adding funny responses to pre-canned phrases rather than trying to seriously improve their smart home proposition or trying to tackle the context/discoverability problem

In some cases “not all men” is used to shut down the woman who is speaking. It’s like saying since not all men are like the man described in your experience, your experience doesn’t matter. In that case, “not all men” is a phrase I wouldn’t use.

However, when the individual extrapolates his/her experience to the men in the industry as a whole, comprising of millions of different people, I think “not all men” or “not everyone in this industry” is a perfectly valid response.

Blatant sexism in the workplace typically creates a differentially-hostile environment based on sex, which is all that is necessary for sexual harassment (at least, in US law; legally speaking, the definition is obviously jurisdiction dependent.)

(Lots of harassment stories are about unwanted advances or actual sexual assault, which also is, in the workplace, harassment but is not necessary for harassment.)

I'm hopeful this will improve deliverability - amazon sellers have noticed recently an increase in items returned because "shipping address undeliverable", and amazon forces us to eat the shipping cost - often on items delivered by Amazon themselves (amazon logistics).
Amazon's saying "Hey Nike, you'll be selling through us whether you like it or not". And it's forcing Nike to actually explicitly sell through Amazon if they want to retain any control whatsoever over the product listings.
Some homelessness is due to untreated mental illness. Some homeless is due to other factors I am largely ignoring that, intentionally.

Tech is all about mental aptitude. Some mental health issues interfere with the required skills and some do not. Someone with ADD, bipolar or impostor syndrome is not strongly adversely affected, while someone with dissociative schizophrenia and cannot make decisions that keep sheltered will not succeed in tech and might not even with proper treatment.

What can tech do to better reach out to people who are homeless because they have mental issues that impact their decision making so much as to destroy their ability to maintain shelter? This problem is too big for a company to handle we need cultural and government change to address that.

> On the music plugin side of things there is a lot of VSTs written in JUCE framework, another good cross-platform UI kit which focused on audio software.

Real audio programmer here.

I used nw.js (essentially like Electron without the necessity to do IPC for intra-window communication) to port the frontend for a realtime audio engine written in C. Frontend and business logic speak over a socket.

No need for JUCE because the UI has no need for JUCE's audio tools.

Port could happen extremely fast because of the brilliance of Chromium devtools-- introspection and real time updating of styles/DOM state was a life saver. This was a port from tcl/tk which had (has?) a half-baked theme-ing engine and no easy way to introspect the contents of a Tk Canvas.

Qt would have been nice but the frontend is a visual diagram with boxes connected by Bezier curves. QML doesn't have an easy way to do that without the performance scaling with the size of the logical canvas (which is unacceptable because users sometimes want enormous logical canvas sizes).
