I'm not sure I follow, maybe I'm not understanding you correctly. Are you actually saying personality is only a result of environment?

Take for instance introverts vs extraverts.
Introverts might be forced to be more social in an open office, but they would still work better in a private space and management has the ability prioritise their worker's personality and provide both open and private spaces for them.
Would it be bad though? A lot of APIs change in the browser space. WebRTC was broken a hundred times. Libraries depending on Prototype would probably be old, maybe insecure. You need to break it from time to time, you can't be backwards compatible all the time.

If you limit image recognition to fixed binaural vision at a PD ~70; sure.

But cars can have more cameras, better infrared sensing, multiple exposure sensing, better field of view, quicker/better rotating ability and be couple more tightly with car speed to make more accurate predictions, adjustable known zoom.

+1

But it can be slightly more complicated. Personally, I want the invites to keep coming, but I also want to reject 75% or more of them (due to having accepted the fact that I'm an introvert). If people invite you out, and you always say "no", then at some point they'll stop inviting you.

It's a bit like the story (Dr Jordan) Peterson tells about rats. If a big one invites a small one to play, the small one will only continuously accept the invitations if the big one lets it win 25% of the time, IIRC. Being social is an iterated game, so you have to say "yes" enough to satisfy the other(s). That is, unless you live in the mountains and want to be by yourself.

Not focusing on what it takes to retire from Day 1. I did several startups and always dreamed I would retire rich from those pursuits. I got close, but no cigar. I am 42, and just a few years ago turned my sights hardcore towards hitting retirement goals. It might take another 20 years. It is something I will drive into my kids once they enter college. I will still also encourage them to do startups, but I will want them to understand the impact it has on their ability to retire early.

Side note: if I had held the Amazon stock I sold to start my second company and focused on retirement the past 15 years I would be (semi) retiring right about now.
AI hedge fund's roadmap to monopolize intelligence
Keeping my personal and professional projects notes in digital format. I used physical notebooks as my sole tool for project notes from 2002 to 2013, so "more than 10 years". It is very hard for me to search for things that I actually remember I took notes at the time, but can't find them quickly. Sometimes I need contact information or even addresses I made sidenotes of, but they are lost somewhere in my stack of dusty notebooks.

Curiously enough I took one of them last weekend and tried to digitize it into Evernote, via a photo. But I didn't like the final format, and it felt like a ton of repetitive work to get a single notebook in. So I put this aside.

> Are you intentionally picking dividend-focused stocks though?

I used to when I started, but I don't anymore. Now I just buy stocks of companies I like. Lately for instance, I bought some NVDIA shares because I like what they do. Also last year I realized I didn't own any AMZN share and I thought that was not right, without even considering the fact that they don't pay any dividend at all. Same for Netflix or Cray or Tesla.

In truth, my mindset is more of a collector than an investor :P

Not the friendliest API, but it's 100% predictable and it WORKS.

> Gently rolling a stop sign at a high-visibility intersection sounds like a safe and principled violation.

If you do this yourself, please reconsider. My experience is that drivers who do this (especially at 2-way stops) are watching carefully for perpendicular traffic while blithely ignoring pedestrians approaching the crosswalk that they are rolling through. As a pedestrian, I consider this the second highest threat to my personal life+limb, after left turners who (again) watch for cars and not pedestrians.
From the article: These types of employees are needed when private companies interact and share information back and forth with government agencies.
You are wrong. The LHC was absolutely prepared to observe new "unexpected" (for the "Standard model") particles. It just didn't happen. A lot of theorists who had developed the theoretical extensions of the "Standard model" are disappointed about that, but that's what is observed.

Regarding the gravitational waves, you're also wrong, as the theory and the observations matched even without the gravitational waves being directly observed, the science is simply so good that completely unexpected results (in the sense you talk) are outside of the resulting limits of the previous measurements and calculations.

The level of the science we have now is really stunning. The only sad part of the story is that all investments in the science are really minute compared to all the money spent on armies and weapons (e.g. just as the order of magnitude one year of the US military budget is at least 30 times bigger than the NASA's).

There's immense amount of the new information that can be obtained by the repeated observations. But the expectation of anything to disprove too much of what we know up to now is simply not realistic.

Very broad and vague question I am having trouble beginning to answer.

1) Are you assuming all price increases are due to being "aggressive"?

2) What industries are you talking? Purely tech?

3) What groups / age range / etc. are you assuming that employees are less aggressive in terms of income?

4) Do you consider income only monetary? What about reduced hours, increased vacation time, more flexibility, etc? How do these fall on the spectrum?

I would say this question in its current state is impossible to answer, too vague.

If the car can't be certain that the intersection is empty, it's going to hit something when it tries to cross regardless.

Clojure's focus, after simplicity, is functional programming.

Haskell's focus is as an experimental vehicle for type system theory. If you want to teach type system and category theory, use Haskell.

Functional programming does not require Hindley-Milner type inference, and that happens to be one of the larger cognitive hurdles in Haskell. Algorithm W is a layer on top of the Lambda Calculus, not something essential for understanding it.

+1 for using Clojure to teach Lambda Calculus^h^h^h functional programming.

I am not too sure because if I want to make noise about how my developer screwed up, highlighting the incompetence of the direct manager played a big part as well. Yea sure maybe the minute detail of management overtures being refused can be missed because they wanted to portray themselves as a good guy.

From the looks of it the whole thing was written from "an expose on star developer culture" point of view. In which case, admitting your own mistakes in the first draft takes backseat and it's all about the "star developer".

What is even more surprising is given that so many people have pointed out this hole, there hasn't been an edit to clarify this point. I am not digital content expert but if it does spread wide, no one is going to care what is in the comments.

As my driving instructor used to say, "Stop signs and red lights do not actually reach out and stop the other driver."

The lesson: just because it's your turn to go does not mean that others will not enter the intersection when it's not their turn. I agree that rolling stops at a 4-way stop are generally safe when you can clearly see that no other cars are at or approaching the intersection. But in my experience, the fact that the other person is at fault has been little consolation for having to deal with a totaled car and a permanent backache.
Yes this. Humans are free to break laws in that they have free will, robots are not, legally speaking.
I have many thoughts on all of this.

1. Regarding solutions: This airport does not have a tower, so its up to the pilots to use the radio to announce intentions etc. To me, the core problem is that this does not loop in the boats and so there is no way to communicate. I think having the boats or some third party announce when a crossing is occurring would help. I also think, in response to this accident they moved the runway a few hundred feet further from the channel.

2. Regarding blame the NTSB actually ruled it pilot error, but I think that is myopic and only because there wasn't really anything else they could say since their jurisdiction doesnt extend into the rules of boats. Technically it is pilot error, but there were other errors as well from each side that all combined.

3. In terms of fear of flying, im actually okay. I had to fly twice per week for work for many years following this. Sometimes i'd have some flashbacks or bad thoughts, but overall don't have an issue. I've also been back up in a small plane just to do it. That said, I view commercial airplanes as completely safe and have no real fear with them. With small planes theres just so much can go wrong. The planes are not the issue, they are safe themselves. However, because of many small airports not having a tower, the lack of safety comes from having to deal with many other factors at play. I want to fly again later in life, its amazing and I have a love of planes. At this point though I feel like it would be pushing my luck so don't really do it.

Driving at roughly the same speed as the rest of traffic is definitely much safer than driving the posted speed limit.

Any other such commonly observed violation would probably have to be studied to answer the question - and given humans' tendencies to take on a fairly uniform level of risk no matter what the rules are, I suspect the question may need to be "does this keep the risk level constants while increasing throughput" rather than "does this reduce risk".

So ... it's plausible both ways so far as I can tell.
Yeah, that's not a great study (though it was admittedly pretty groundbreaking,) and it doesn't actually prove that there is no relation between speed and accidents. Multiple studies since the 60's have shown different results.

> In 1900, 90% of Americans were self employed; now it's about 2%

Citation, please? That 1900 percentage seems way off. Just looking at child labor, which was 6% of the workforce in 1900 [0], they weren't all self-employed shoeshines or paperboys. Think about agriculture, which was already less than 50% of employment by 1900 but much bigger than today, do you think 90% of those people were working their own farms rather than farm hands, ranch hands working for someone else? The US Census didn't collect this kind of data until decades later so it's hard to find good numbers. This blog post [1] references a much older column that said 50% were self-employed in 1900.

Regarding the 2% today, in 2015 Rick Santorum said 10% of American's own their own business which PolitiFact rated as Mostly True [2].

Toyota is a global car manufacturing company who has been manufacturing cars (and building new car factories) for many many decades now. This is will be Tesla's first high volume line of vehicles. I think it makes sense for some time to work out kinks in process and meta-processes.

Even a couple of years back when Toyota passed GM as highest volume maker of vehicles, the execs at Toyota said there was a moment where they took their eye off clean processes and Toyota quality suffered a bit. Some of that I suspect had to do with the timing of the retirement of a generation of very experienced people in Toyota. I think they've since been on a corrective course.
