That's true, but most of those measures require near 100% adoption, which obviously will lag significantly behind introduction of fully autonomous vehicles.

It is possible the reduced need for downtown parking could significantly reduce congestion in cities though.
The "scoped" attribute is deprecated, but CSS scoping is alive and well inside ShadowRoots. No build tool needed.

Carpooling is made much more viable by self-driving cars. Could easily see people being willing to share a ride if the computer matched up people from the same neighborhood for a ride automatically and the cost was shared.
Hmm so it doesn't work well with variable length data?
I'm in my forties. I've been all around the country and have traveled internationally plenty. I have never been in a restaurant and had any animal jump on my lap, invited or not, service animal or not.

And I've ate at plenty of dog friendly cafes.

Your experience is unique and frankly strange. I've never heard a similar anecdote. As a person who has had canine companions for the bulk of my life I would never allow such a thing to happen in my own home let alone at a restaurant.
First get them hooked on minecraft. They'll use youtube to learn about mods and plugins. And a few years later they're downloading Eclipse and starting to code their own plugins again using youtube to learn how.

I don't think so. In fact, 'scale' is specifically when scoped CSS is its strongest. It allows you break things out and move quicker and develop easier to maintain styles.

1) http-call bloat is mitigated by a built process (which you would probably already have to use if you're using a Scoped CSS method like CSS Modules.

2) Visual consistency and DRY aren't affected. Think about it like regular code - when we want to repeat a unit of code we break it out into a seperate compassable function. We can do the same thing in CSS Modules with composes. You could also (carefully) introduce a preprocessor like LESS/SASS/Stylus/etc for variables and mixins and what not.
It has nothing to do with American exceptionalism, it's about appropriate context. I don't see anything useful coming out of trying to force San Francisco residents and London residents onto the same political spectrum. They're two entirely different spectrums, and "left" and "right" mean different things.
Uhm, so what is tv? Isn't it "discovery" too? 20 years tv was the way people discovered information, just as with google now. I think the fact that few companies are now successful and "loved" by customers doesn't rule out any antitrust laws, maybe it actually calls for them even more.

My family is from the Caribbean, I will never be able to trace back my family history as deep as others because my ancestors were slaves, 23andme seems like a great service. Especially in a time with so much racial animosity in the US, maybe if people had a deeper look at where they come from they would have sympathy for others.

Yet on the other hand many people have proposed parking will be eliminated- instead of parking your car, you'll just send it off to drive in circles around the interstate for a few hours! Wouldn't that be marvelous!
I have a bit of an unfair advantage in that when people look at my resume now they have no problem believing me when I say I'll ramp up in the new domain. I've professionally used C++, C, C#, Fortran, Java, Javascript, Python, Tcl and multiple stacks so it's not too hard to ramp up on a new technology stack.

I normally ramp up on the company and space for at least 6-8 hours before the interviews start. I take the approach of a customer and try to figure out whether I would buy their product or not. I tend to ask questions about competitive threats and possible pivots that show you grok the market. Sometimes I discover competitors they have never heard of, this sometimes kills the job :-P

If you have the technical chops, you need to show you'll use them productively as soon as you hit the ground.

I'm also both a manager and a developer and can easily plug into multiple roles. I'm happy to roll up my sleeves and program while building the team.
Modern phones support an "Enhanced 9-1-1" capability, GPS data will automatically be sent to emergency services when you dial 9-1-1 or similar emergency numbers.

Yes, I understand that banks don't need savings to generate loans and the two aren't tied, and my answer didn't say that.

My point is that the market determines savings rates, and when interest rates are higher, banks can afford to give higher savings rates.

You could say that.

Every time you want to run a computation on your FHE-enabled VPS you would need to upload data proportional to the maximum number of operations in the computation. Otherwise, re-running the same computation with a different input gives away information about both of your inputs and about the computation.

Lucky you. I have. And not an isolated incident, either.

> It not something I would find ruining the meal unless the owner could not control the animal, it would be hostile, or the owner would ignore the problem. Is that common, and where on the scale of the other annoyances would you place it?

I wouldn't mind quite as much if I weren't allergic to dogs (though I would still find it unacceptable). If I'm enjoying a meal, the last thing I want is for my nose to get all stuffed up so I'm unable to taste it properly. I would probably place this between your #2 & #3.
There's this innovative type of carpooling called a 'bus', where you can fit more than 30 people onboard at once! The cost per person is incredibly low, too!
Fellas, do it in a way no one else has. Or use it for something no one else has.

>When automation comes full force, then our economic and political system will change. The question is what will it change to, and what will the transition look like. There's a happy path and a bloody path.

This is what I keep harping on with folks. I think automation will hit and hit hard and our current economic/political structures are not ready for it or won't be able to adapt fast enough (hence your depressionx10 or just a massive inequality gap).

We already have 'more productive' economies but we have stagnant wage growth, increasing rental/housing costs due to people leaving for cities since there are little/no economic prospects in rural areas now, and, as you said, logistical problems in fulfilling basic necessities. Not to mention mental models that say that these 'unemployed' folks are bad and should just retrain/go to bootcamp/move elsewhere.

Consumption-wise, we can buy whatever we want. Shitty food is cheap, electronics, etc, all cheap. But some of the base foundations in Maslow's hierarchy don't come very cheap anymore and it's harder and harder to get to the higher reaches.
That's surprisingly a thoughtful observation that I never would have considered since I don't have that problem. I feel kind of bad for disregarding my carribean girlfriend's results now.
ThoughtWorks Emerging Technology Trends for 2017
The differences from state to state are typically minor and not incompatible

How can you say that when not all states have even enacted legislation to regulate self-driving cars?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Self_Driving_Cars_Legaliz...

Even minor changes between states are expensive for automakers to manage, and it's bad for consumers if some manufacturers choose to certify their cars for certain states -- you could end up buying a car that you not only can't legally take to another state, but the car will refuse to go there at all to avoid manufacturer liability.
That's a valid point, GPL is especially scary for libraries, less so with server software. Maybe I was a bit hyperbolic. :)

How Python does Unicode
I don't understand why people think...

Everybody loves the idea of new technology that allows them to continue doing what they are doing, in this case avoiding biking, walking, and public transit. Basically, people want to believe self driving cars will reduce congestion. Ergo, it's pretty easy to convince them it will.
Preemption is needed most for nascent industries where the economics are uncertain. It gives investors more confidence to invest in an unproven technology if you can at least predict one aspect of the landscape on a national level.

Down the road, you can start to relax the preemption (theoretically) and let the market forces keep unwise state regulation in check.

Are they counting LLC as incorporated? That would significantly change the US situation. My understanding is that LLC is very similar to sole proprietorship in Canada, but with limited liability added in.

My comment may be invalid then. Canada has no such structure, so incorporation is a big threshold. You can still do it easily, but it adds a lot of accounting and admin work.
4) Is excellent; so much of your first few weeks are about perception. You want to be curious, engaged and trying hard AND you want to show it.
I assume you are in favour of financing public transport also from the pockets of only those who use it? Maybe libraries, too? How about schools?

(Truth be told, I'm from quite the opposite land where driving taxes finance much of the public spending. I wouldn't really mind your proposition too much.)

Culture is a consensus. It just so happens that the region of culture nearest to me values the practice of sifting through obscure, niche, or distant sub-cultures for stuff that may be temporarily adopted in isolation, yielding social status points for the discoverer and early adopters.

The destruction of cultural artifacts previously unknown by the local mainstream is thus deplored, not because it had any real intrinsic value, but because it is no longer available for someone to show off and say, "look at this cool old thing that I found, that none of you culturally ignorant heathens have ever seen before."

As N-thousand-years-old artifacts are a scarce resource, whenever some hairy barbarian burns a book that no one cares about, he deprives some hipster of a critical opportunity to gain prestige in front of their friends for about 20 minutes.

Now, some people may become upset that elements of what they perceive as their own culture are essentially being used as toys and amusements for someone else's culture, but it is an essential element of culture that it cannot be controlled in such a way that such uses could be prevented. Culture is broadcast. You put something out there, and it is either adopted and rebroadcast, or it fades into obscurity. Once it is part of the culture, it isn't fully yours any more.

There is no protection for culture. If the consensus changes the meaning of something you liked to something you don't, you just have to move on to liking something else. If someone manages to make rompers for grown men fashionable, you just suck it up and wait patiently for the fad to die. You don't have to wear one, unless you want to participate in that part of the culture. And you don't have to rescue one from a thrift shop as a cultural artifact after it goes away. If you did, it would just be some thing to stick in a museum, so future visitors could see it and giggle, say "hmmmm", or vow "never again".

Not all cultural artifacts are worthy of "saving". For all we know, those unique manuscripts that might be put to the torch when the invaders march in are someone else's cultural equivalent of a Hitler Pepe meme or a man-romper silkscreened with Kim Jong-Il's face at 500% actual size.

Hypothesis 3 - that alumni or faculty are supportive - applies to any number of schools. Need more to show this is a distinguishing factor.

Hypothesis 2 - the school encourages growth and "spiral learning" - is vague. Going to need more evidence to prove this is a unique characteristic of Olin.

Hypothesis 1 - the school attracts students with a certain risk profile - is precisely the parent's point about selection bias. There is a healthy discussion of this above.
Instead of thinking of it as a 'single stylesheet' for consistent UI, but instead a 'library of styles', just like if you were writing code (JS or whatever). When you need to DRY and reference something in your library, just import it. CSS Modules does this really smartly with `composes`.
GPLv3 is for a lot of companies too aggressive on requirements around patent defense, etc. Though many were never fond of the copy-left nature of GPLv2(and 1), they allowed it. GPLv3 upped the bar, to a degree that many lawyers won't sign off on its use.

Apache 2.0 is the standard for almost every company I've dealt with, with MIT and BSD 3 clause being accepted as well. But Apache 2 seems to make most lawyers happy.
> Kafka messages are immutable. Each of those green boxes on the right hand side of the first diagram will need to have special-case logic to unpack the kafka stream, with knowledge of its changes (up until 17 May 2017, treat the data like this, but between then and 19 May 2017 do x, and after that do y).

I respectfully disagree. The genius of this approach is that you can make the same transformation on the original Kafka stream to change its schema and prepare the new feed. Once you are satisfied with the results and you have switched all subscribers to the new feed, just turn off the old one. Voila - you only have y.

> who in the future may be able to discriminate against you due to your genetic characteristics.

Look, I know it's fashionable to disavow discrimination in all its forms and for all its reasons, but businesses built on evaluating risk, like insurance companies, NEED to discriminate.

It's impossible to price and discount risk without access to accurate information.

I'd be FAR FAR more worried about governments misusing my genetic data than insurance companies using it to determine an accurate risk profile.
Im actually still wondering, why pirates dont use source control hosting for file distribution. After all you need is a repository of binary.files and a plausible reason for popularity.

1. Intelligent people ask questions. There is no reason to stop after the first week. Connect the dots in the open and people will understand that you're intelligent. "Why do you <technical detail> here?". "Because of X". "Ah, so it's basically the same as using <technical detail Y>." Just show that you are able to take in the new information.
I'd suggest your experience|expertise is lacking. My first couple of months were bad but then I learned to appreciate the expressiveness and facility of even a bad shell language and the open horizon of how things were done. This comment seems to be classic troll or sour grapes.
You want to reduce congestion and make mobility improvements for many? Look to cities that make cycling a way of life through infrastructure, planning, and design.
I'm not sure if those would lead to really major changes to congestion, specially once you consider that there will be increased demand for driving once self-driving cars are ubiquitous. The only approach to truly reducing congestion is to switch towards denser public transit.

BTW, I suspect that the bigger impact of self-driving cars would actually be the reduced need for parking space.
These are great! An important caveat for 5) is to make sure you have done the ground work before asking! There is nothing worse than spending valuable 1-1 time with somebody who hasn't even done the React tutorial yet ...
Actually, it was not that safe. To reduce fuel consumption, Douglas used a quite small tail for an aircraft that size.

Consequently the MD-11 has to land at high speed which makes it prone to catastrophic bounced landing like the 2 Fedex crashes.

Also, it was not produced for very long (compared to other aircrafts from Boeing or Airbus) and the fleet was either retired or converted to freighters quickly by airlines.
Buses and trains are. why should roads be purely subsidized? Why should free parking be subsidized. Car driving is massively subsidized and it has a hugely negative impact on the environment, it's expensive, does not scale, and difficult to maintain. Reducing car use, and shifting to a transit and walking focused style of living is better on every front.
As I replied below, the distinction between libraries and servers is a good one. I was too extreme in my statement without making that distinction.

For libraries, yes, absolutely, companies should rightly be cautious, because it's relatively easy to expose yourself to legal risk.

Nobody is "going away with the work of others" – the whole point of a license is so contributors decide how others can use their work. What exactly is the issue here?
I don't mean it's not valuable. I mean that which should always balance the cost instead of jumping on it.
I would think that part of an ethical protocol for testing would include a frank discussion with each patient about the probabilities of various outcomes and trading off actions in that landscape.

Just because there is no person in the car, that won't stop it from driving around looking for parking.

It depends, if this new field is something growing, something with a perspective (eg ML, crypto) then keep on. Your insecurity will be your biggest motivator pushing you to the limit. In one year you will be better than your peers.

If this field isn't trending (eg VBA, print) then just look for another job.

In other words: Can you boost your personal market value with this job in one year?
In most of America, this idea seems to be even less practical than self-driving cars. America is pretty much designed to be a pessimal case for public transit. San Diego, where I live, does invest in public transit infrastructure and has relatively extensive mass transit options (buses, trains and trolleys), and yet public transit is still largely unusable outside of fairly small, specific areas. In order to use public transit, I'd have to walk half a mile to a station and then my commute to work would be four times as long as it is by car.

So when I hear "invest in public transit infrastructure," I feel like it isn't a concrete enough suggestion. Does it actually mean tear down most of America and replace it with a country where mass transit is practical, or what? I'd love never to have to drive again, but merely investing in public transit demonstrably isn't enough.
Your point ?
I run a nonprofit project that gives more of the advanced data back to 23andMe users.
