When freedom is defined as freedom within the capitalist mode of production for bourgeois interests to collude, I suppose you're right. He also said that the state, as it is instituted for the protection of property, is instituted as a device used in benefit of the rich for the detriment of the poor.

I find Marx's critique of classical political economy to be more valuable, and the thinking it inspired. The quality of the freedom offered by the social anarchists (Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin and Bookchin) I also think is much higher than Smith's.

I often think of Manhattan wrt the autonomous taxi believers. (Which while extreme for the US is precisely the sort of place they'd presumably have to handle.) I sorta go: "Have you ever been there and looked around?" Design an AI that can get cross-town in Manhattan at rush hour and I start erecting a shrine to our robotic overlords.

I think Uber is succeeding. But the goal is less obvious: burn cash to push through regulatory changes, loosening up the transportation market in preparation for self-driving taxis and logistics.

Imagine a new startup trying to convince you to switch your taxi for a new self-driving car? No way.

But an entrenched vendor that you have trusted for 5+ years? Ok, maybe next trip I'll accept your discount and try one of those self-driving cars.

It's such a slippery slope. My brother in law's twin boys (now 7) started with their own iPads at age 4. You cannot pry them out of their hands. They go everywhere with them.

I often see kids as young as 2 or 3 with iPhones in their hands while being pushed in their stroller on a walk, or at a restaurant at dinner.

We allow our 3 year old boy a small amount of screen time each day, as he spends the whole day (9-6) at day care and it helps him unwind a bit to watch Sesame Street, and gives us a chance to prepare dinner uninterrupted. But it's always under our control, we do not hand him the remote or device. Nor do we use it when we go out to eat.

> Once the driver is gone from autonomy, these fleets are going to be dirt cheap to operate.

What gives you the impression that human drivers are such a large part of the costs now?
Isn't that easily countered by comparing Tesla Model S' overall rate of accidents vs another similar vehicle, with similar safety rating, including all self-driven and human-driven miles? There should be a proportional reduction.
As much as Rupert Murdoch. I saw someone else on HN comment. The editor is competent enough to figure out the owner's views without asking.

How does that work if you own the truck?
To share our experience (we sell SAAS in financial services): our first solution took us 6+ months of development (one person) to get our MVP launched and another year to get people to use it actively without active outbound selling (that is to say it was sold but we had to hold your hand the whole way through).

Some thoughts: internally we consider the "V" in MVP to encompass not just what is the minimum you need to do to solve a problem but the minimum to solve a problem (worth solving) at a level someone is willing to pay you for the solution. That often is more extensive than a traditional MVP which is why SAAS solutions require so much up front development. Consumers are not fond of subscribing to services and businesses don't like beta products.

A couple additional thoughts as we now actively sell 4 SAAS services:

- to be successful in SAAS you need to build something people need. They say there are two types of businesses: painkillers and vitamins. If you're a vitamin you are 20x more likely to fail than a pain killer. The value prop is just too hard to communicate and people's attention spans are too limited
- the more you understand the user / workflow / domain the better. I realize this may sound obvious but I do my best to pay forward the mentorship I received and I am shocked at how often I come across people trying to solve other people's problems as an outsider.

- with the exception of notable billion dollar startups we all love and read about daily, I believe the dream of "build it and they will come (register, put in their credit card and bam you're done) is just that, a dream. Yes organic growth is real but all my buddies who have successful SAAS companies spent a ton of time and effort selling them before that organic growth kicked off. This could be an east coast vs west coast thing as my network is hitting niche workflows but worth sharing regardless.
Seattle is a very hilly city, increasing the challenges for bike commuting for normal people. An electric bike can help but increases the price substantially.

When you say "doing things right", what does "right" mean exactly? I see people say this a lot, and I think that I do things "right", but my definition of "right" is very different from yours.

My definition of "right", create the most value at the lowest cost.

My assumption is that when you say "right" you mean, "done in a way that produces the fewest bugs". If this is true, there is no consideration of the costs in your definition which seems wrong to me. At this point I usually hear people who make similar claims to you respond by saying, our "right" way doesn't cost more, or even costs less.

I don't think this is true, and here's why. If it's true, your "right" way would produce better software at the same price. If that's true one of the following would also be true.

1. companies doing it the "right" way would, on average, beat companies doing it the not "right" way. I have seen no evidence of this, in fact the opposite seems true.
2. Having a lower bug count has no bearing on the success of companies so there is no correlation between the "right" way and the not "right way. I doubt this is true, but I could be wrong.

What I think is true is that your "right" way costs significantly more, and the market in most cases has shown time and again that it's not worth the cost.

He's arguing from a position of someone who's familiar with the socio-political process. It's a different axis than technical arguments or ideological arguments.

I have no substantial comment other than to note that when a driverless car is insurable by Liberty Mutual at normal rates, with all liability held by Tesla, then it's probably reasonably safe.
Cool examples, but I'm not super concerned about the problems arising from the ability to 'use ctypes to directly edit memory'. It's actually pointers to memory blocks, not the memory contents itself: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html If you're advanced enough to need to handle pointers to memory blocks in your python program, you are probably good enough to know not to create problems with the behavior of iterators on ranges.
That assumes quite a simplistic management structure.
You drove 30 miles up 880 twice a week and never saw a rear-end accident? You should play the lottery. I don't know if I see three every day, but I do see one every week. This week's was some clown in the #2 lane, _staring_ down at his phone, rear-end into a stopped car at ~20 MPH. His car was completely totaled with one of the wheels spinning off to the shoulder.

A few months ago I saw a guy, face-down in his phone, smash into an existing accident that was already surrounded by fire trucks. That was amazing.
It only took that long because MGS was aerobraking into orbit and wasn't designed to survive the stress of lower atmosphere turbulence, so only used the uppermost layer of the atmosphere for braking. If your going to land, obviously you get to use all the atmosphere and also can use parachutes. Something a problem braking into orbit can't do.

Surface probes do direct descent trajectories. There is no extended series of repeated braking passes. You do it in one go.

Or make the trailer itself have a large battery in it that the truck just hooks into, then the truck only needs a small capacity battery to handle moving from trailer to trailer. Then the trailers can charge while they are empty or during loading/unloading.
I think the whole point of the phone is that it's a FLOSS-friendly hardware platform which can run whatever Linux you like (even if the default supported one is PureOS, based on Debian).

For now, yes.

Once self driving cars have proven their safety in 10-15 years, if you drive your kid to school instead of using an autonomous vehicle, you will lose custody of your children for endangering them. This is a fact even you cannot disagree with.

No one gives a shit about social media posts. Your kid's or parent's lives? All of a sudden people will use what maximizes their chance of survival: self driving cars.
Well worth what it costs too! It's highly useful and does its job elegantly.
I could be wrong, but I am guessing automating trucks is easier than doing it with autos. That's because so many trucks drive standard, well-mapped routes, whereas cars generally have to be able to go anywhere.

Thanks for the response, it's thoughtful and well reasoned.

>However, if you've solved those problems, you have no need for me.

You would exactly be they type of person needed, based on the very idea of what you did/have been doing, you are smart, informed and most importantly not afraid to act(literally put your money where your mouth is).

If I could build a platform that successfully addresses these issues it would be nothing without people, same goes for platforms like Uber or even Facebook and Google. The pre-internet examples would be individuals like Gandhi and MLK who obviously solved problems to effect change, but even they were just leaders who relied on the support of people.

I think this second comment of yours is as encouraging/motivating as the first, it just reinforces my belief the opportunity is really about changing attitudes and thoughts about these power dynamics, rather than the power dynamics themselves.
It's way easier to tell when looking at the 8008.

The 4004 has all kinds of strange instructions, like DAA (for BCD) and separate instructions for accessing main memory, ROM, and RAM. It's pretty clear that it was made to be in a calculator.

On the other hand, the 8008 has the familiar IN, OUT, MOV, PUSH, etc.
The difference I see is the addictiveness of on-demand. It's a constant drip of endorphins not unlike chain smoking or a morphine line.

When we were children we had to wait till weekends to watch those special weekend shows. We had to wake up early to watch all of them. Hell we even had to pee or make a snack in the 3 minutes of commercials lest we miss the next segment!

Nowadays you see kids watching all that crap all the time. Morning, noon, and night. Parents justify it as "educational content" or they just want some quiet time. But you have children literally sitting on the shitter for an hour watching an iPhone.

I'm not expert on raising kids and I'm not saying my generation was perfect (far from it!), but that can't be good.
I think there's a distinction to be made between the language spec (e.g., interesting Javascripty details like what is the result of `"" + 1`) and integration issues like what to do when the browser window detaches, how many threads the browser will devote to running Javascript, what to do when some of those threads appear to be blocked, or how should the runtime/VM attempt to recover from deadlock or OOM.
Here are the traffic stats for Canada[0]. In 2015 there were 116,000 "personal injury collisions". That is ~300 injuries a day across Canada.

The Greater Toronto Area has approx. 20% of Canada's population (~35M). If we assume that 300 injuries are evenly distributed across Canada, which seems unlikely due to how bad the driving conditions are on the 401 and DVP, there are ~60 injuries per day in the GTA of various severities.

I don't think someone encountering ~3 per commute during rush hour is unreasonable.

Actually looking into it a bit more to answer your question, I'm entirely confusing two different things. Mercury is tidally locked 3:2, it rotates 3 times for each 2 times it orbits -- but that is a result of history and not general-relativistic corrections, which are necessary to explain a different value (the precession of its orbit).

In fact our best understanding of why Mercury has the 3:2 relationship appears to be (if I'm reading these papers right) "because of historical reasons." That is, now that it's in that state, that state is stable and unlikely to decay to the 2:1 or 1:1 state, but getting into that state is much less clear and potentially requires that in the past, the other planets of the Solar system had nudged Mercury into a more eccentric orbit than it has now. The claim is that the eccentricity of that orbit caused the 3:2 resonance, then in more recent history these perturbations from other planets averaged out more to make Mercury's orbit less eccentric, but it still holds on to the resonance from its past.
incredibly smart. There's a bit of a loss after an acquisition for obvious reasons which usually means cutbacks and trimming the fat etc. Looks like Amazon will be doing this but found a way to create a small rush of customers to offset it a bit. Very smart.

I for one will be going in there just to see what has changed. I haven't been in a WF for 2 years (new seasons girl here) mostly because of cost.
Noncoml, did you really read the manual? The 4004 is unrelated to the x86-64.

Perhaps you are confusing it with the 8008 which is related to the 8080 which is related to the 8086 which is related to the 80286, 80386, 80486, and so forth.
I wouldn't say it's necessarily neither. While the concept of binding used in [3] is consistent, you can also simply say that functions are call-by-value and all values are references. Pretty much the same way C uses pointers when passed to a function.

BTW, I didn't like the way the difference between mutable and immutable objects was pointed out, it sounded like the language recognized and supported those two types, when in fact the difference is just in the methods exposed by the objects. Even immutable objects can be modified if you don't respect the contracts (like in the case of this article).
That system sounds pretty fantastic compared to the dumb cruise control I have in my car. Though it's not as predictable for the people that don't understand how it works.
I installed it. Its cool. However, it competes with first class features that are provided by the platform you are running on. Any successful voice platform will also have these features you will need to compete against.

Other commenters are right - your differentiators are small and Amazon could implement them with their vast resources in a sprint or two. It's just a guess, but Alexa is probably much larger when it comes to people and money backing it.

You are going to be competing with any platform you run on. It's like you are using Alexa's voice recognition component, but then rebuilding the experience on top of it. Kinda weird.

Most skills extend or compliment the platform. Now I'll have to make sure I use Lifebot instead of Alexa to get a certain feature - its a bad CX if you ask me.

How are you making money? I highly doubt Amazon is paying you to compete with them on core platform functionality.

Also - you have to you give your phone number for the SMS to work. If you have Alexa and enabled communications - it would even be easy for Amazon to implement "Alexa, send that story to Bob" and then it SMS a link to your friend. Do you have their friends contacts too? etc.

If you integrated with IFFTT, or somehow interacted with the first party features to extend them it'd be interesting, but even still then Amazon is only a few weeks away from doing any one of these things.

>I don't think I ever saw three separate rear-ends in a single drive. I can't say for certain that I ever saw two. I didn't drive it every day, but I probably did 100 such commutes.

I drive 30 miles through Chicago traffic on the Interstate everyday. I see at least 3-4 accidents per week (people pulled over to the side of the road, out of the way, or at the accident investigation sites.) Most of these are minor fender benders. I'm sure if I was in rush hour traffic for the full 4-6 hours (not just my 90 minutes of commute) I would see way more. They mostly happen in near bumper-to-bumper stop and go traffic (someone misses the guy in front of them stopping) or when traffic unexpectedly comes to a standstill from going 10-20 MPH.

All newer versions of Fortran will segfault, but back in the days they would not. Back in the ninties I fixed a bug we found when porting a Fortran 77 program from HPUX to Linux. The program would segfault on Linux, but worked on HPUX.

The reason was that in one subroutine, a parameter value was stored in a local variable, then used for computation and restored at the end. Since constants was stored in read only memory when using g77 on Linux, but not on the f77 compiler on HPUX, the Linux port would crash, but not the original HPUX version. In that the code you had above would have worked.
