Who is going to scale up the best and most cost efficient solid state lidar?

Probably some big auto parts company. Continental [1] and Denso [2] are both building solid state LIDARs. Quanergy seems to be all hype.

Maybe automatic driving is just going to be a set of components Tier I auto parts makers sell to auto companies. That's how ABS braking and stability control works. Those are the companies that can make electronics work reliably in the automotive environment.

It may not be a race, either. Many major auto manufacturers expect to ship some form of automated driving in the 2020-2021 model year. There's no reason to expect one big winner here.

As for "transportation as a service", Avis, the car rental company, is getting ready to do that. They're servicing Google's self-driving test fleet in Austin, so they'll be ready to go into that business when the time comes.

"There is no such thing as an underestimate of average intelligence" --Henry Adams
What is best tool to collect data from other saas
Currently We want to collect our data at other services and store it in our data warehouse so that we could easily run some fancy algorithm on it.
We use alot of services like Hubspot (For both marketing & Sales), BambooHR, GG Ads, GG Analytics, FB Ads etc ...
In my requirements, I would like to do something like:
Pull Data From X -> Filter | Mask | Enrichment | -> Store to Y & Z
Example:
Pull contact from hubspot, filter contact which scoring less than 50, get sales info from our mysql and add it to this record, then finally sale it to mysql & hadoop.

A lot of comments here are saying education is irrelevant.. It is very much relevant , you don't want a self taught doctor . All other professional fields such as lawyers, doctors, accountants have highly regulated practice where qualifications are very important, expect engineering.

It should not be acceptable to have dam built by a self taught engineer, or the privacy of 100 million ppl is safe guarded by music major even she had "relevant experience" there is a reason education and certification exist

"While an interesting approach, I'm not sure I agree that the ability to suffer is enough of a definition of humanity to use in isolation"

The statement was not about defining humanity. Why is it relevant if something is human or not? Would it be OK to torture non-human life that's clearly in possession of cautiousness just because it's not human?
I agree with everything you said, but couldn't resist:

The awful behaviors you see from some users of a previously free-and-open project that went closed (ish) sound an awful like the behaviors of . . . paying customers in pretty much every industry.

I have a different question. So here's their timeline:

MARCH 2017 - Vuln in Struts is disclosed by CERT.

MAY 13 - Initial intrusion happens according to FireEye's later analysis

JULY 29 - Equifax notices weird activity.

JULY 30 - Equifax notices more weird activity.

JULY 30 - Equifax takes down affected web site

JULY 30ish? - Equifax realized vuln was Struts. Patches. Puts site right back up.

AUG 2 - Hire FireEye to check things out

(weeks) - FireEye assesses situation and presumably Equifax panics

SEP 7 - Equifax makes intrusion public, offers self-described "comprehensive package" including the web site "so that consumers can quickly and easily find the information they need".

At SOME point, they kind of shove in the statement that following entities were notified:

* FBI

* all U.S. State Attorneys General

* other federal regulators.

My question is WHEN did this happen? It's my understanding there are rules-- state and federal-- about when law enforcement (and affected parties) need to be notified on a breach of this size involving this type of sensitive information.

Anyone have more insight on this?
Your first paragraph explains what evolutionary forces have shaped our minds and societies. It's unclear why that should be a basis for ethics. If that was our goal we should all have ten children and user religious devotion to stay cohesive as a group.
In some ways, I agree with him; he doesn't owe anybody anything, it's fine to make money on his software, etc. The whole thing still rubs me the wrong way, and I think some of the presented arguments are, to say the least, biased.

>> “But then I have to build from source to get what I want.”
> Yes… that’s the point. Welcome to open source.

> I do find it ironic that the open source community is so irate about having to compile software from source to customize it the way they want.

I trust the author is using LFS or Gentoo, and is personally building his Go toolchain and not using any Google-provided binaries?

>> “So I have to pay to remove ads from my web server.”

> This was one of the biggest misconceptions.

Half-credit, you're both wrong. Users could pay or build themselves to avoid ads. So to a hobbyist who was using Caddy specifically because of the tiny learning curve, this is not a misconception. Thankfully this is a mostly moot point since they took the ads back out.

In fairness, cryptocurrencies have become more like gold than pennies. I recently proposed someone pay me in Bitcoin for services rendered, and it immediately seemed like a bad idea. PayPal or Venmo is still where it's at, for better or worse.

As far as "impending," well... Maybe if the lightning network proposal happens. Maybe.

The other currencies do matter, but Bitcoin remains the granddaddy and has immense inertia. It's hard enough for normal people to acquire Bitcoin, let alone any of the others.
Right, Facebook wants to be able to do anything to your sister (or IP) it wants and you can't ever sue FB, if you dare use their code. Google just wants to trade any rights you have to the specific implementation of the code you've deciding to use. They won't sue you or you them re that specific code. Not the same universal IP grab at all.

On the other hand, change one iota and you have no patent grant from Google of any kind, I believe.

I know, but I disagree and, moreover, I consider that a harmful belief. The problem isn't that not every citizen of a democracy will agree with the majority preference (I think people understand that caveat), it's that even the majority preference of the population on a single issue is, for many reasons, likely not what gets through the political process.

The "we" wording sweeps all these limitations of democracy comprehensively under the rug: it diverts blame onto the people when it should rightly be directed at the existing political order.

What's interesting is that people who pay or people who contribute are, on average, nicer to us than the people who don't.

> I really do not see how having instant access to information precludes you from thinking. Au contraire, it probably gives us more time to think and it allows our minds to branch out into much more interesting places.

There are two ways in which writing dulls the critical faculties rather than enhances them:

First, writing is necessarily a one-way monologue, not a dialogue. The reader, the consumer of information is unable to probe the author to assess credibility and veracity of information. You also have no way to assess if you have correctly learned the information. As a result, it is all too easy to see misinformation, not information, get spread. This is not an idle concern--an awful lot of history turns out to be very old lies that have been retold so often in this manner that they have come to be treated as truth.

A second issue that readily arises is that, when information is readily available at your fingertips, you're less likely to recall the information to find relevant comparisons. A lot of productivity in science or the humanities is in being able to draw parallels and synthesize similarities between rather disparate-seeming topics.
Stable release of Firefox 57 is November 14th.
I was wondering the same. I think it might be quite easy to capture the IR video for replay attack, but it's quite hard to reproduce. Capturing would require just a device that replicates iPhones camera setup, and storing the IR image. Or just use iPhone if you can somehow access the raw IR image data.

If the identification requires just image, it could be printed on a black paper with IR ink (or just white?). Apparently they also look for life signals, so it might require video. In that case, it can't be produced with normal display, but maybe with some sort of old-school analog film and IR light.

This kind of attack (if it works) could be mitigated by adding random IR dots, which would be different each time.
More shocking than that you would even be allowed to die when you are ill and suffering too much. You know like we do with our pets because we love them and don't want them to suffer.
Yep. I just checked with http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/. That site has a calculator that comes up with almost the exact same conclusion as you.

Or, you could assume an average rate of inflation and calculate this using the rule of 72. I like to keep that formula in my pocket for things like this.

For 150 trillion you could research how to make a smaller and cheaper transistor.
Power Query, aka Get & Transform (built into Excel 2016), is probably the best new feature since Excel Tables were introduced in v2007. It lets you pull data from local, network and web sources - including databases - with a relatively easy UI. The queries can also be refreshed.

My main complaint about spreadsheets (or at least Excel) is: you can't generate data of arbitrary length via a formula and display it on the grid without manually managing the cells it takes up. An example where this would be handy is an array formula for unique items.

It seems that maintaining location-based referencing as a feature (referring to data based on cell location, eg '=A1') makes this difficult to implement.

Power Query allows this via List.Generate and the M language, but you need to break the spreadsheet auto-calculation paradigm to use it.

Yep, there's also Antinatalism, which is the belief that having children is immoral. There are a few different strains, but greatly oversimplifying my favorite is that suffering in life outweighs pleasure, so bringing a new life into existence increases the net amount of suffering and is thus immoral.

Oh, and for bonus points, after telling us that we should just compile it ourselves, he highlights that there is a helpful build server, which "was once open source"... but no, you can't have it; they've closed it up. And even though it was "open source" at one point (his words), "If you find some old source code still online, be aware that no license file was added to the code, and we have not granted others any license to use it." It could be open source or unlicensed, pick one.
> Problem is, judges and police have yet to design an objective maturity test, so instead they use an age threshold, easy to test, objective but arbitrary.

There are traditionally two ways to do that and still make sure people who go to prison actually deserve it. The first is to draw the line high and rely on prosecutors to sensibly exercise their discretion, the second is to draw the line low enough that you don't find innocent people on the wrong side of it.

But prosecutors have repeatedly demonstrated a failure to exercise sensible discretion, leaving the second option as the only viable alternative.
Many people take faith to mean to blind believe. But it is not like that at all.

What does it mean to have faith? Have faith in what?

When Jesus says have faith, Jesus meant have faith in what he said. In other word, believe in what he says. But what does that mean though?

What Jesus meant by believe is this...

Jesus: "Dude, believe me, you can save yourself from a life of misery and pain if you just do these things I am about to tell you: Do not murder. Do not kill. Do not steal. Etc. And also, remember, I love you and God loves you."

But somehow, most people have misunderstood this to just mean blindly believing.

But the development world has been turning on stored procedures for a while. You've got popular frameworks actively shunning the concept[0].

I've seen the topic on HN before and it's generally been the view that there is rarely a use case in modern times. We can't suddenly say everyone is expected to have everything in a stored procedure now that it's convenient.

You can look at what Apple does for an example of how you compromise on a higher level than the filesystem. They offer regular file storage (in the file system), a structured object storage API (Core Data, which is really just built ontop of SQLite databases stored in the file system), and an cross-application metadata and search index (Spotlight).

Software that wants to store structured documents without thinking up their own file format can use Core Data, and still get their documents indexed properly. Software that's cross-platform or has to support existing file formats can use regular documents and supply a file metadata/content indexer to Spotlight.

It depends on the circumstances. We don't kill animals because we are hungry. We kill animals because we want more enjoyment from food. If you are somewhere starving and it's you it the rabbit, go for it. That's not the common situation though.

Euthanasia is a much more complicated topic and I find it bewildering that we are focusing on this discussion on babies. I assume it's out of some notion of protecting the adorable innocence. I think it's important with these topics to try to keep emotions out of it because they just reflect biases we have built in due to evolution. Evolution of course is not your friend. Especially not after you've procreated.

RC4 as pencil and paper cipher
It appears that it is Monero, not BTC.
It's important to understand that Bitcoin is a new asset class we haven't really seen before-- it's the first technological money.

So, it's "market cap" is not based on shares like a stock is, it's more like other forms of money.

Yet its price is the result of it going thru the technology adoption lifecycle, and it keeps jumping up as inflation slows and ever wider groups of adopters start owning some.

In the past year, it has been made much more easily owned and accessible as an investment in South Korea and Japan, and of course it is highly relevant to the Chinese. These trends will continue for awhile.

It will be "speculative" until it is mainstream. The only thing making it "speculative" is that it isn't more widely adopted, but to be widely adopted there will have to be much higher prices, given the very limited supply.

There's not going to be enough bitcoin for every millionaire in the world to own even one of them.

Additionally, does this automatically hook in to slush's pool or something? Bitcoin mining is practically useless on CPU; even the fastest CPUs out get way, way less than 10mhash. The average length of time to find a block at 9999khash and current difficulty is 1200+ days, so even that estimate is over-optimistic, so this isn't worth anything if your users don't sit on your site for 5 years+, unless it's hooked into a pool or some other contraption to pay on shares instead of blocks.

It hasn't gotten better.
