> What problem do you think this would solve?

Exactly. I know a few local shops & bars that accept bitcoin. Although it sounds cool, I‘m always asking myself „why should I?“. It’s way more convenient to just throw some coins or put the Credit card on the reader for about 1 second to pay for my beer, instead of initiating a transaction on the distributed ledger.
When 10+% of all cars are self driving this will rapidly stop being unusual.

The real issue is not self driving cars, it's poorly designed intersections.

Ask HN: Would you work with an “Agent” to help you find your ideal job?
I always wondered if good engineers would want to work with an 'agent' to find their next job. By agent, I mean someone who's very technically savvy and would speak with companies and really understand the positions.

e.g. What technology is being used and why?
How is the development process done?
Really dive into the problem space and challenges.
Taking a while to load. The summary suggests that GRBs are caused by neutron star mergers:

"ESO’s fleet of telescopes in Chile have detected the first visible counterpart to a gravitational wave source. These historic observations suggest that this unique object is the result of the merger of two neutron stars. The cataclysmic aftermaths of this kind of merger — long-predicted events called kilonovae — disperse heavy elements such as gold and platinum throughout the Universe. This discovery, published in several papers in the journal Nature and elsewhere, also provides the strongest evidence yet that short-duration gamma-ray bursts are caused by mergers of neutron stars."

> The primary reason fiat succeeds is it offers price stability. But stability is often purchased at the expense of workers and the unemployed.

Fiat is successful because it is backed up by guys with lots of guns. The backers of the most successful ones have aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, predator drones, etc.
So essentially what you’re saying is that the unique value proposition of BitCoin is that it allows you to make payments that break the law in your jurisdiction.

I mean, I agree with you entirely: that is BitCoin’s unique value proposition. It’s just good to see it out on the table.
I don't see this as Intel biased, in the "The bang for buck stops here" the author very clearly points out that the AMD CPU is vastly more cost effective for likely scenarios.

Though saying it's a Mobo and a decent SSD somewhat understates what those builders would likely spend $700 on.
I worked for a company for five years as first a junior and later senior developer. My reviews were always glowing. I got promoted to lead shortly after our current lead left. I worked 10 hour days harder than I had ever worked in my life and developed a stress disorder I needed to take medication for.

When my review came around I was told I was not getting enough done. There was zero possibility of me getting more done. I had given so much of my life and my health for a company I thought I loved? The next day I contacted a former coworker who had been poking me to come work with him, and a couple weeks later I was gone. Best decision I’ve made in my life!

Sure that might be possible, for example to serve some malware to that device. More likely is that a device you allow onto your wifi already have some malware from earlier.
Has anyone ever taken a vendor to court on the basis of consumer rights and not providing security updates and the product therefore not being fit for purpose?

For example, under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in the UK the product must last for as long as a reasonable person would expect it to, and Apple's interpretation of that is five/six years (see https://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warranty/).
Surely it would be ridiculous to deliberately program the machine to break the law, though. It sounds like in the best case scenario, you're describing a situation in which the law should be changed to correspond to how people actually drive.

Come to think of it, I've been hit from behind this way twice, and done it to someone else once.

I'm sure self-driving behavior is a factor here, but I also suspect that breaking and passing at intersections is just a common cause of zero-damage accidents. After all, one of the collisions in the story was a bike rear-ending a car - how many drivers would report that if there was no damage?
2017 Ember Community Survey
Nope. The man-in-the-middle attack it uses involves forwarding and replaying encrypted packets without decrypting the contents, so all it requires is that the attacker be within range of your wifi; they don't need any of your keys or passphrases.
No notice and 2 weeks severance? Moreover, I guess, no health insurance while looking for work? Wow, I don't think any other rich country could find this acceptable.
I saw the same thing in Boston. Instead of "violating the rules", I would say that local drivers obey a set of unwritten local rules that are more appropriate for the situations they encounter. These local rules make things safer and more efficient because the global rules that are written for wide, straight highways don't map well onto low visibility corners, confusing or incorrect signage, low speed side roads merging onto fast thoroughfares, roads (sometimes purposely) without painted lines, etc. I felt that Boston drivers often adopted Right of Way, a notion familiar to boaters. Faster cars with more maneuverability are in general expected to avoid slower cars or those with less maneuverability. If someone pulls out in front of you (perhaps because they were stopped and couldn't find a better time to merge), it's your duty to not hit them. On the other hand, if you are on a side street waiting to merge, it's expected that you wait for a break that's "big enough", then pull out and accelerate as fast as possible. None of these rules are written, but they are still consistent and safer than trying to rigidly apply global rules to the situation.
Well, whether or not it's a problem depends on who you're asking, but:

Remember in the first Captain America movie when his first role in the military was on a tour raising money for the war? That was actually a thing at that point in time. You had to actually convince people to invest or give money to fund a war. The USD was tied to gold in the real world and they couldn't just create more.

Nowadays, we don't have that. A President might have to ask Congress for funding, possibly. And even then, that money might simply be borrowed (adding systemic risk) or printed (devaluing the rest of our money). As a result, the amount of public support required for waging a war (or any huge expenditure) is much lower.

That's a good thing if the people in power are correct despite popular opinion. That's not always the case, though.
Could you please not spam "funny pictures" in a post like this. It makes it annoying to read.

> with ridiculous cases like four-way stop signs on roads where you could literally see hundreds of feet down each of the other roads, and not a car in sight except the cop car parked next to the intersection.

Keep in mind that rotaries are extremely rare in the US, and that many four-way stops are replacing what would be rotaries in the UK.

Also, some intersections are more dangerous than they look. I remember a 4-way intersection with a 3-way stop that looked safe, but after the 10th traffic accident or so, the town said, "Let's just make it a 4-way stop," and the accidents stopped. One of entering roads was right after a major speed change (so people wouldn't slow down enough), and another had slightly worse visibility than it seemed. But once everybody was made to stop, the intersection worked safely, at the cost of adding 30 seconds of travel time.

Show HN: Build heroic rest apis on a deadline with Django 1.11
The dory I was on flipped going into Crystal rapids on the Colorado. Crystal is one of the most notorious rapids in Grand Canyon due to its huge hole and the rock garden just down stream where you end up if you don't make the rapid. Two people, including the boatman went into the hole, getting Maytagged for a bit before they were spit out. I skirted the edge but got by safely, no thanks to my puny attempts at swimming against that current. Looking down into that hole, though, scared the crap out of me. Fortunately, everybody made it to shore safely, the boat was recovered by an earlier one, and we went on our way with a great story to tell.
> Surely it would be ridiculous to deliberately program the machine to break the law, though.

In my driver's ed course, it was explicitly covered that police will often not pull you over for doing 5 mph over the limit. If we're training drivers to casually break the law, then it's only logical we'd be doing the same thing to self-driving car AI.
cookiecutter-django-rest now supports Django 1.11+!

cookiecutter-django-rest takes care of the details so you can focus on making your api awesome. Scaffolding a project takes seconds and gives you a solid foundation by baking in Django's best practices. Just add your own resources to the api and start shipping.

We're happy to announce that we just released 0.7.0 this morning! We'd love to hear your feedback.

1:1 conversations outside of normal work context can help. Dropping the work context is critical to having a human:human conversation. Most people don't have the heart to do it (for real).

If your approach always begins/ends with 'from my side' or even worse 'from our side' (team/mgmt context), you will always fail to connect with and influence someone like Rick. This sort of language will just reinforce the division between Rick and everything else.

It takes one to know one. If you know that someone like Rick is just 'so different', or if you just have that 'gut feeling', you need to find someone who can connect with Rick. An age gap (20+ yrs) helps too; reach out to the respected elders in the company.

If you can show that you care about this person, and want them to be successful and healthy, then they might start to listen to you. All you really need is their attention.
Crypto currencies can exist for those who want them, I don't see any reason to block them beyond ponzi scheme and marketing issues - similar to stock issues. So probably they need some regulation to not defraud unwitting people.

Bitcoin is not an alternative to Euros. That is the whole point. If you switched all euros to bitcoins and asked people to trade those, the economy would collapse as no one would want to trade their bitcoins because mathematically, they increase in value due to the limited issuance of them. Without modest inflation, the economy cannot grow as no one would spend money for investment purposes.
Speed limits aren't just about safety. Lower speeds mean less noise, which is desirable to local residents in residential areas. They're the ones who local politicians are accountable to.

When you create more money, which banks do every time they issue a loan, you are accommodating more saving in that currency.

If you're saving, you're not spending and if you're not spending you are denying other people an income.

The alternative is to confiscate savings, or ban them.

The bit the mainstream metallists miss is that deposits are a result of loans, not the other way around.
Civil forfeiture is not limited to cash money. Your lambo car, mansion house or any other property could be seized just as easily under the current regime.

In case of crypto, the storage media containing the private keys could be seized. Failing that, the government can always obtain an injunction to blacklist your addresses to exchanges, nodes and miners as long as those operate within their jurisdiction.

You could use a brain wallet to mitigate these risks to some extent, but I doubt it is possible to put all your assets in one place and you expose yourself to the risk of cryptanalysis by torture.

> If humans were required to report every bump and scrape, what would we find out?

This seems like an awfully good point. One of the incidents described was a bicycle rear-ending a car - reporting from that incident reveals a scraped knee, a scratched fender, and an intact bike. How many times a day do equally minor accidents between people get ignored?

Maybe self-driving cars really do get rear-ended more, but I haven't seen anyone try to account for reporting gaps like that.

That assumes that you have perfect key management. Looking at current cases about phone & other device searches suggest that most people would be compromised.

This also forces other issues: e.g. offline wallets are a standard answer to security concerns but those are more vulnerable to physical compromise. This scenario needs a lot more discussion of threat models.

Bitcoin does not solve 2, 3, 4, or 5!

You have a job, so you get wages. These wages are sent to a bitcoin address. Now your employer can track every transaction you make. There's no reason why this would not also have to be reported for tax reasons, so your government can also track every transaction you make. You buy something, now that company can have a decent chance of tracking your spending too!

There are ways around these issues, but nothing _straightforward_ or scalable. Not everyone can or will use a tumbler for all their wages.
Are the points fixed? i.e. 2 buildings or similar? Point to point links like this are probably not a good choice if you're going to be on a boat or something, but for a couple of buildings, Ubiquity is the tool for the job.

If you know specifically where your points are going to be, you can check out Ubiquity's link planner (https://airlink.ubnt.com/#/ptp) to make sure that you'll get a clear shot from one place to another (it has to be line of sight and totally clear of obstructions).
BTW, this is also the basis of a story by Greg Egan. Diaspora. (Aside: I highly recommend Greg Egan's work, especially Diaspora)

The claim he makes in the fiction novel, is that a neutron star-neutron star collision event would be enough energy to sterilize 100 light year radius around the event. The one in the novel happens closer than 100ly.

The five roles of Mob Programming
The requirements for being a public CA are self-regulated by the industry (via a consortium called CABforum including CAs and browser vendors). The requirements are far more stringent than that, but yes, you need an appropriate HSM.

There are some biases that are far more likely in some root CAs because they’re unusually long-lived. For example, I would expect Blum primes to be more prevalent among CAs than a randomly selected leaf certificate. This is because of pre-NFS/QFS folklore that they’re safer. While this is a detectable pattern, it’s not known to produce weaker keys, though it does effectively halve your set of primes.
It's interesting how close some of these get to being fractals. Some probably are based on counting spaces and threads.

Yes, I also was immediately reminded of Python's conda based environment management. E.g. 'source activate <env1>' may have python3 but when used with <env2> will use python2 and different version of other libraries.
I think it was you could use it a library more easily.

Curl is MIT licensed, so less to worry about if integrating in your code base. I also think it was designed as a library from the beginning, while wget was intended solely as a command line utility. Wget is also GPL licensed, so does not mix super well with proprietary programs or if you just don't want to "taint" your codebase with GPL for other reasons.
If we're smuggling in finance terms, I'd call it closer to investment than speculation. There is a near-certainty Mueller's team isn't noodling over nothing, and the targets of their investigation are acting in ways that are consistent with there being some there there. And that's only one investigation.

And I brought up credibility because one important facet that seems to be serially forgotten is that the major targets of the investigations have already destroyed their credibility, as have many commentators. I would encourage some googling to look at the past claims people make - more often than not you're hearing assertions of tribal fidelity rather than arguments based on factual exploration, and one bit of that information available to us now is a fair amount of background on motivations.

> We can only base rational discussion on the information available to us now.

This is false. We are planning animals. We do what-if projections constantly. In fact, we can't not do it - you did it yourself to make an implicit argument above attempting to make any forward-looking seem silly.
Same here (Devon, UK) — although I do use the WiFi we have on buses here, and occasionally when in cafés.
The roundabout on the Cambridge side of the BU bridge, which I unfortunately have to take home most evenings, is something I can't imagine a driverless car handling. Sometimes it's a single-lane roundabout, but at peak hours it can support as many as five cars wide, eventually merging into a single lane over the bridge, and the traffic pattern is different every day.

Driving on highways is easy, and solving that is still valuable, but it's going to be amazing to see these things work in situations like those.
We are doing it wrong – the truth about agile development
It is just much easier to use in my opinion.

I ran tons of cronjobs to update certain things. Few cool options I have with cURL that I find hard time locating in wget (doesn't mean they don't exist)

--max-time (seconds) - for some reason I found wget not respecting always how much time it should be pulling the content. I think its related to fact curl and wget determine the moment of fetching file differently.

--retry 0 - i did not find a way to tell wget not to retry pulling page. This was super important to my setup as we ran some pages for 6 hours to make sure the job is done. wget will gave up and retry after 15 minutes: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection timed out) in headers. Retrying.

Curl combined with solo for cronjobs is making pulling scripts on 32 servers very easy task and I hadn't had issues with it for 3 years now.
