I agree that self driving cars' response time can sometimes compensate for lack of general intelligence to anticipate a visible roadside activity developing into a hazard or non-routine situations in which another driver might cut into their lane. But lightning reflexes aren't going to eliminate situations in which buggy, late or nonexistent responses to things an AI hasn't been trained to deal with endanger other road users, especially when said other road users don't have lightning reflexes themselves.

Yes, but I'm a advertising professional trading advertising positions in the industry association magazines, and I am very aware of the untapped potential interest in providing assistance to the organisation members.

I spoke above about branding.

And professional collaboration with financial support from highly respected engineering professionals in hundreds of comparable organisations, who are individually identified with the essential infrastructure of our built world and industry.

There incentive for organisations like these, to actively engage and support, possibly augmenting their distribution with a contribution to the projects of browser tools that assist the user in potentially specific ways such as archive cross reference private searches of the user's history and tabs, against closed or private libraries, which is a common service that is provided by associations in a physical form.

Firefox is losing XUL and this is upsetting a considerable number of people I speak to, who have developed in house assistant plug in software.

I am personally very disappointed with the depreciation and actually complete removal of XUL, and the initiative to port the superb microcosm of browser tools, really requires a very strong effort, which is the exact example of what the associations I spoke to privately whish they were able to make a genuine connection to the project maintainers, who universally respond to genuine inquiry with the exact reply which you just gave me.

I started my career 25 years ago and stayed in a very stop gap sales job, originally intended to fill a gap year before applying to university, because I was able to speak to serious company directors on a frank and open basis, from which I realised that I might gain no better experience in my education. Starting my own business was a natural step. The advertising trade newspapers claim every opportunity that online advertising is fully displacing print and the shrill claims have been proven empty for two decades now. This is a market that is unloved but vast in terms of the ability to address the most senior professionals in any known industry field. The economy is a incredible experience for untying the knot of misdirection that has turned the business of advertising agencies permanently away from their clients and completely to align their capabilities to sell, in funnelling the unsuspecting into unmeasured deals with above 60 percent of the cost, captured by integration of the so canute non real advertising "exchange" system, crippling opportunities for small business. The result is decimation of the small business economies of the USA and the UK.

Node's success has everything to do with the environment itself in combination with the language.

Let's be honest: it is nothing to do with either of those and purely a matter of fashion. In a couple of years at most there will be a new new thing and everything will revert to version 0.1, keeping everyone busy but making no actual progress. Gotta soak up those CPU cycles the hardware people are giving us somehow right? Can't let the users get any of that speed for themselves!
yes cars are expensive. for my local situation here im looking at 1.5hrs commute by bike one way or 3 hrs round trip...every day. plus bad winters to deal with. car is worth the convinience ... in my case.

There are private high schools that cost tens of thousands of dollars too. The OP was talking as if this was normal. The average student is going going to a state school and paying somewhere near $10k a year for tuition.

If you can't get a scholarship and it's not a top 10 school $50k per year probably isn't worth paying.

Absolutely. Yahoo! used to be a particular favourite of mine. Search, email, chat and games. A great place to hang out and weirdly not that far removed from Facebook. Sure the UI has evolved quite a bit but it's similiar basic services.
I disagree. Cryptocurrencies have shown that the new generation (as well as the old one) can embrace new and decentralized technologies.

The decentralized web is already a "successful" idea. The correct implementation for its wide use is not there yet. But it will be there.

It is just a matter of time before we have a bigger "dark web", a decentralized web, decentralized payment networks, and still have Google, Facebook, and the likes.

As the internet population grows, and as people move to more digital lifestyles; the people won't be limited (or gravitate) to a single portal. Instead, they'll spread over different networks/infrastructures for their different needs. Facebook can still be successful and grow while the decentralized internet happen.

The Internet is growing both in number (population) and in use. People today use the Internet to surf, chat, read the news, buy stuff online, book flights and hotels, pay taxes, work, study, find partners, buy drugs, etc...

Audio Technica ATH-M40x at home and AKG K92 with upgraded ear pads. For 95% of the time I am using K92, they are light, comfortable (with new earpads) and have surprisingly good sound quality. I've moved to them from full time ATH-M40x as they broke twice in 2 years on my head (cracks) and are in general to tight. The sound it self is great on AT but it's not worth lack of comfort that they offer.
> Recently, JavaScript has adopted lot of language feature from C#, Ruby etc., that make it really useful for most common tasks. And the community moves really really fast, hence adoption of new language syntax is quite fast.

I wasn't aware that a platform's ability to move fast was now a feature. Sounds more like a moving target, honestly.

I want stable tools that let me do things quickly. In the current JavaScript ecosystem, you have the "do things quickly" part without the stable part. It's really easy to get bogged down in the mud. My guess here is that with the increasing industry tendency to move on every <2 years, everyone is building their shaky house and then getting out before it crumbles with them inside.

Nuclear fusion has been "on the brink of a milestone" for my entire lifetime. I think I can be forgiven a certain skepticism. Reading about ITER's troubles in detail over the years, I've come to believe that there is a mechanism where fusion can self-assemble, stabilize, and produce a continuous, reliable usable feed of energy at scale, only occasionally resulting in catastrophic failure. It's called a "star." Attempting to stabilize and contain the process and exploit the process at a smaller scale honestly does not seem feasible to me at this point.

If you somehow knew that any form of distribution was illegal that would be the case. I haven't heard anyone saying that's the case, distributing it bundled with GPL software is potentially breaks the GPL.
As a Udactiy SDC student finishing up the program without much real insight into the industry, the program seems very much to me like an entry-level overview of topics you're likely to encounter in this field: computer vision, machine/deep learning, path-finding, sensors, and some basic system integration.

By the end, you'll have a few toy projects and a very basic ability to converse about or study more deeply these topics. Maybe they should have spent a little more time on maps and SLAM instead of other stuff, but hey, it's their first version anyway; I'm sure they'll iterate (as they already have somewhat in response to feedback). They did kind of admit in the CV introduction (lane finding) that this was kind of a super simple, satisfying project to start with. I feel like they often touch on topics acknowledging they have more of a historical relevance and are no longer state-of-the-art tools.

(Edit: I should also note: while I have criticisms of the program, overall I'm very happy that I took it. I'm sure some people are better at seeking out specifically what information is relevant to dig deeper into, but I really appreciate the broad overview kind of pointing me in the right direction. Since starting the program I've amassed quite a list of resources to dig deeper into, and hope to eventually find work in this or related field)

It may be that having 'full' freedom is correct in some senses, but it seems fairly clear that it's non-binary.

A government which firmly censors newspapers writing restaurant reviews but allows anything else is fairly clearly more free than one which also forbids discussion of politics, religion, and the football results. I don't think anybody would say they are indifferent to which of the two they would prefer, on the grounds that neither are wholly free.
The low property values are a part of the problem.

When infrastructure is built to transport, feed, house, and otherwise take care of people in a booming industry, and then that industry leaves, that infrastructure doesn't magically downsize itself or continue to work forever. It has holding costs, and it has maintenance costs. A lot of those local costs are paid for by property taxes. And when the condo goes from San Francisco prices to Detroit prices (or sits empty and abandoned), those property taxes drop off.

Those maintenance needs apply to the offices and factories of the industry, too. And to the restaurants those employees visit, the malls, dealerships, dealerships, grocery stores, gas stations, and everywhere else they shop at. That Post Amazon Condo you'd like to buy needs maintenance, too. These service industries need money to come in from somewhere.

A town can't just pass around the same dollar forever. And when Amazon, or the mining company, or the auto company, or the steel company or whatever industry is actually providing value and bringing in external dollars disappears, the place will slowly die. People will want to continue to live in the booming city they remember, enjoying the gorgeous scenery, even as unemployment skyrockets, savvy businesses leave town, crime rises, and infrastructure rots and rusts. They will call for state aid, and federal aid, but those are just band-aids on the problem that the city's economy is running backwards, just trying to keep up with all the maintenance debt.

Michigan is a beautiful place, too. I wouldn't call the weather mild, but it's an amazing place with all four seasons and we Michiganders like that. But the cheap parts of the state are not known for their scenery, they're known as desolate concrete wastelands.

It's a hard problem.

The energy spent to facilitate these services are incidental to the work being performed; the total energy spent is a function of the task being accomplished. "Proof of work", on the other hand, is wasteful by design, which is obvious when you consider that "the work" itself is not useful, all that's useful is the assumption that the cost of wasting energy is too great to be worth it for a malicious actor. That isn't to say that POW cryptocurrencies themselves are useless, but they are certainly wasteful. An aversion to waste is literally the security mechanism.

I'm not sure this is true. They may have not been meant to capture the typical American but I know many Americans represented in this group and I don't think it is atypical either.

Also, kudos to Nathaniel for using his dining table rather than giving into the temptation to plop down in-front of a TV since he is eating alone.

Although, all of these photos look staged. At the very least their postures were dictated by knowing they are being photographed.

If you go to the blog there are more photos http://www.loisbielefeld.com/weeknight-dinners/

Edit: looking at the other photos on the photographer's site, I think they were told not to smile. And I think the combination of lack of smiles + dark lighting contributes to the kind of depressing feel. Even for the other not-dinner-related photos on the site.

Edit 2: OMG the second photo on http://www.loisbielefeld.com/conceal-carry/ is terrifying. Never ever point a gun in the direction of another person you don't plan to shoot, people!
Your paradigm is showing.
I've been using ZFS on Linux for 5+ years. I know a lot of people wrote off zfs+fuse, but I used it very successfully to store 10s of TB of backup data for years with no data loss events and performance I can't tell was worse than ZFSonLinux. And I've been using ZoL for years at another job.

I think your "barely a year" metric is far off.

That JavaScript was not designed to work as a *nix (or Windows for that matter) server language. And that any attempts to make it work as a server language are going to include some major workarounds to fit that round peg into a square hole.

You can still make it work; but you can script a web page's interactions in C as well. That doesn't make it the right thing to do.

The phone will have normal GSM in it, as well as being Matrix native when on IP (i.e. shipping a native Matrix.org client as the default dialler/messaging app, which will work whenever you have IP connectivity).

A stretch goal is to also provide Matrix<->PSTN connectivity, so that if you're on IP but don't have GSM (or don't have a SIM in the phone), then you could also place/receive calls with the PSTN from Matrix. (Obviously this would then be also available to the rest of the Matrix ecosystem too). (Source: I work on Matrix)

I feel like it's less Javascript that's eating the world and more Node and NPM.

It seems as if it's impossible to publish a Javascript project without taking for granted that the developer has, or even wants, a package manager with dependencies, arbitrary toolchain and transpiler along with it.

Maybe I'm just a dinosaur for not wanting my "build process" for javascript to be more complicated than including a script tag. That's probably what it is.

Indeed, when 'equal' partners negotiate a division of the value generated by the enterprise or 'company', that's probably about as fair as you can get. That would be called a 'co-operative' I think.

But that's not remotely the same as a company owned by a single individual, hiring employees who 'negotiate' their salaries in competition with other people who need employment - especially considering countries with very low wages, no social security (ie get a job, whatever the pay, or starve), etc.

"at first joining the AMP bandwagon not realising this was the trojan horse that led to their eventual demise"

Hopefully this will not be the result of AMP but interesting take nonetheless.
The concern is more that they seem to have ignored literally decades of prior art when designing it, and in doing so in an overly complicated way have added to the mess rather than reduce it.
