A better question might be: what can possibly replace email as an online identity - and also - do such a better job at it that I feel inclined to switch the 100's of services over to it - a task I would not take lightly.

Email is so much more than just a protocol.
I've never implemented it, but from a user standpoint, there aren't any widely-available services that people seem to use. gchat appears to be shutting their endpoints down. Facebook shut theirs down in 2014.

People got familiar with email because their ISP/employer provided them with an email address. Eventually it became a thing on it's own. Chat was never like that. There was always one service you used, and all your friends used. Now that's gchat and facebook chat.

Yes they are different. They are also WILDLY different value propositions. Crash prevention is nice, just getting safer and safer is nice--though I personally wouldn't stop driving ~$5k cars for even "really good" crash protection.

But a car that can drive me while I sleep and become a Taxi while I work is something I would go into debt for.

> Many people have issues flying due the feeling of not being in control

You lack control whether it's a pilot or an AI in the cockpit, so rationally this shouldn't make much difference from this point of view. Of course, people are anything but rational. :)

I think it would be amusing to let an AI fly some commercial routes without telling people -- after all, I bet there's nothing in the carriage contract about having humans at the controls. I'm sure the FAA wouldn't approve, though.
Simple and to the point offer, I applaud you for what you're trying to do.

Yeah I prefer my way: Invest mostly in things that you would double your investment if they halved in price but that you think that that outcome is unlikely. That way if it halves in price, you get 3x the quantity, but you don't really miss out on a short term bull run because you're in for a significant amount.

If there's one consistent view Americans have expressed about flying, it's that they'll choose the cheapest flight over almost anything else. Bring a cheap self-flying route to market. People will get over their qualms.

> Cargo flights strike me as the much clearer entry point for the technology

Agree. That said, a helicopter seat from Manhattan to the Hamptons costs about $700. If you cut that to $200 or 300 the demand would be massive, pilot or not.
No, because there is a difference between _initiation_ of force, and other uses of same. See:

I worked in government once and could not believe the cost required to get what I saw as small projects done.

In the end I understood, when I came to understand, as other in this thread have pointed out, that there's support, rollout, training, documentation, project management, planning and it goes on and on. The technical solution can be just a small company of providing a sustainable solution to an organization.

Having said that, you should be packing this up and selling it.

“Clean code” isn't actually clean
I’m not sure where you got the idea that such things only exist on x86 and shame Intel and AMD for a feature that’s useful for many scenarios. Have you considered the fact that such features exist because there are actually many customers that want it? I was literally using the counterpart of ME on Power today. These tools are essential to many enterprise workloads, especially when you are in Boston and your data center is in Chicago. I wouldn’t write a useful feature off as a conspiracy for surveillance just like that.
It's nice that that'll work but it's... kinda gross. Can it call wait() automatically via some auto type conversion? Ideally in a synchronous context it would call wait(), and in an async context it would automatically annotate await (and you could always override by calling wait() manually).
I suppose it's like cows that evolve ever larger horns to compete for mates, then one day a new predator comes in and kills all the cows because their horns are too heavy and they can't run fast enough.

Most of the flight is spent on Autopilot these days so you would not know if there's someone at the commands or not anyway.

It shouldn't be a stretch for a quad-core desktop processor today. Doubling the core count and increasing clock speed by 40% compared to a mobile Core 2 isn't hard. DDR4 instead of DDR2 means memory bandwidth is probably not an issue, and AVX can probably provide further headroom on the compute power.

And, of course, it's much easier to build a desktop with far more than four CPU cores these days.

> it's impossible to go back.

I too, am learning JS in 2017, and I can't wait to go back (to cljs). Or away, to anything else. I had done some basic stuff before, but for the last days I have been writing some code for a larger SPA.

Just as an example, today I needed to do the simple task of iterating over a dictionary. I expected it to go roughly like this:

dictionary.forEach(this.someMethod);

Instead, this is apparently what passes for sane in JS world, in 2017:

for (var key in dictionary) {
if (dictionary.hasOwnProperty(key) {
this.someMethod(key, dictionary[key]);
}
}
Author of the post here, couldn't agree more that if you don't have to shard then don't. Scaling out using replicas is an option to certain scale, you do have to ensure no long running queries and make sure your replication is up to date. Those are another option of things to manage, and at an intermediate stage very viable ones, at certain scale it all changes a bit. All that said if you're at a small data level I wouldn't encourage sharding for the sake of it.. if you know you're going to have to scale beyond a single node or approaching limits where you're frequently scaling up it's good to know your options and plan ahead.

My wife is an Airline executive and I just showed her your post, she had a good laugh about your comment on labor and wages. Labor is the 2nd greatest cost after fuel. There are a lot of pilots making well over 100k - 250k+ a year. The problem is not cost. They can pass that along to the customer. It's union contracts.
How ICE Uses Secret Police Databases to Arrest Immigrants
Exactly. The rich have signs that say "Get off my lawn"... The middle class have to get off the couch to say it.
No, the opposite. We didn't understand the decline of US public schools until we started trying to systematically measure their performance.

Standardized testing has been around for decades, but was a tool for sorting students. It is only within the last decade or so that we have tried to measure the performance of schools, districts, and states, as systems.

It always blows my mind when I see people on HN complaining about school testing and measurement. If you tried to run a web application or a business with zero ways to measure its performance, how do you think that would go?
Kik? Brave?
Also, what's your use case? That differs significantly, because IIRC, the Movidius chip only supports inference, so if you want to train models too, then that's a non-starter.
This is most likely. To take it one level further, since you bought something, it can be DLX data (or Oracle now) or some other purchase-based data (from Visa or Nielsen Catalina). Facebook can ingest these as custom segments to target. For instance, I can buy a data segment of past purchasers of Giant bicycles for $1 CPM that will be layered on whatever partner is integrated. With every "match" there will be drop off as one ID system needs to be matched with a separate ID system (i.e. FB <-> DLX, or Liveramp <-> Mobile App)
Right. I was also contrasting _print_ film (negative process) as virtually all film-development would attemtp to "correct" shots for exposure and colour balance.

(Much of my experimental night photography was conducted ... some time ago.)
Technically, it seems like aircraft are closer than cars. Probably in the vehicles themselves and definitely with respect to external control systems.

In terms of public acceptance, I wouldn't be surprised if you have the psychology of it right, especially when you consider that for commercial flights you have to get buy-in from nearly all of your potential passengers or you will lose them to competitors. Maybe there will be a period of automated and non-automated flights with the latter more expensive.

For other uses like cargo and business jets, adoption could be much faster.

Yes, I have played Portal and think that there is still enough movement involved to be problematic for VR as it's done now.

Sure, you could invent a teleportation-specific genre, but I think it'd be quite the niche.

Have Valve/etc gone after the hardcore F1/racing market? I have various friends who follow F1 closely and generally have money to spend. Surely VR works well for seated-racing games.
> they'll choose the cheapest flight over almost anything else

Almost anything else. I agree people will eventually get over their qualms; I just think this is a big qualm to get over.

Though what you've said about cheap helicopter flights has me thinking - perhaps the way in will be via the scaling up of quadcopters and drones. Once smaller drones are a familiar thing, larger passenger drones would be less of a stretch.

I'd argue it's easier psychologically to hop in a drone based on an ancestry that's never had an on-board pilot, than to hop in a plane that's had the pilot removed and replaced.
Interesting they see the pattern as going -> one pilot -> full automation. I would prefer to go from 2 pilots to no pilots if it happened. I don't like a single person being in complete control over the aircraft due to mental health etc. That said, I like full automation even less.
Oh good. I thought i was the only one. Not to distract from the original point of the thread but its just not interesting any more. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy solving problems using code. But gone are the days where I would like nothing more but to spend the entire weekend coding. After a while in the industry, its just more of the same.
Instant Traffic Jacker Review – Reviews and Bonuses
I don't think that's true, about low priced tickets. What you actually mean is that once companies collude to create a situation where it's virtually impossible to compare one flight to another, or one airline to another, by any criteria other than cost then cost is what drives customer decisions.

I'm sick to death of this meme that Americans are only interested in low prices. The fact is airlines were one of the first of many industries to use fees, line by line cost breakdown, obscure deals and a baffling purchase process to strand customers on an island of price comparison and nothing else. See also: cell phones plans.

If you knew what you were getting and could hold airlines accountable when they didn't deliver on what was purchased I promise you price would no longer be the only factor. This is not a truism about Americans you've found, it's a truism about distorted and manipulated markets lacking sufficient regulation.
Don't ask your pilot what they make. Honestly! This is basic etiquette. Just realize that regional carrier pilots and flight officers (as well as crew) work really hard for their money. They make respectable money on major carriers, though, and a lot of the regional pilots are probably trying to advance to those positions.

Also, how many years of lead time and training do you think is necessary before piloting a commercial aircraft? Based on what I've read it is 4 years if can devote most of your time to it. You can't immediately ramp up pilot numbers no matter how much you increase salaries.

Depending on what else the Slack bot does, it could be just a few hundred lines, in addition to a premade Slack bot framework to streamline the API calls.

I was on a team that built a Slack bot in Powershell - she announced the number of incident tickets from each team's Zendesk queue, in the respective team's Slack channel. This helped drive awareness and SLAs.

Leveraging our team's in-house Powershell modules for Slack, Zendesk, and other internal Powershell tools meant the bot was only several hundred lines - not much more than a foreach with a config file.
For comparison, I write Alexa skills (close enough IMO). I charge about $1200/day so $5k would be about a weeks worth of work. Seems reasonable to me given the scope described in the post.

Of course you are correct. Almost nobody is an informed, rational actor in the fullest sense. However, it's my view that the state ought to view people as such, because to do otherwise is a fundamental violation of human rights (my view of human rights, that is).
I don't think commercial jets are an especially favourable target for complete automation, compared to cars.

- Slow iteration, each mistake that you could learn from potentially costs a hundred lives

- No graceful shutdown possible most of the time – if automation fails in a car, you just stop or pull over, you probably won't die. A plane can't just land itself if automation fails unless the comm link works

- Comm link might not always work, it can be damaged from light mid air collisions, bird strikes, drone strikes, other damage, improper maintenance, possibly bad weather, hacking, jamming, over-saturation due to mass automation failures etc.

To me it seems that it's easier to deal with road chaos than acquire an extra couple 9s of uptime in this problem.

Show HN: First app to rank cryptocurrencies in real-time
I just published an app that ranks 500+ cryptocurrencies in real-time and lets you quickly check how your favorite coins are stacking up against the rest of the field. I made it because I wanted to see the real-time ranking of every coin and nothing existed that would let me do that. With CryptoLadder you can actually watch as coins move up and down the ladder in real-time. In addition to price and rank, it also calculates and adjusts market share, market cap, and global market cap all on the fly and in real-time. The whole point is to give everyday traders quick and easy access to real-time information so that they can make better decisions. My hope is that tools like this will empower the average person and level the playing field from the really big dogs out there. Anyways, here are the links:

Before bashing the ICO model, consider that an ICO really is just (1) crowdfunding (with a blockchain to keep track of the tokens) combined with (2) markets to trade said tokens.
