> If you enforce delays for people to cross, which would be the cheapest option, you've just got a stop light by another name.

If you go to Germany, or Belgium, cars generally stop whenever somebody gets close to the border between the sidewalk and the road, at which point the pedestrian just goes across (then wait 5 minutes and crosses back because they weren't actually trying to cross the road, they were just a foreigner not expecting this). And these are human-driven cars.

This can just be universal policy for self-driving cars. It will necessarily be anyway since they will have to deal with people just running across without warning.

> And while there are options (elevated pedestrian walkways, etc.)

That would be very dumb, one of the benefits of self-driving cars is that you can significantly scale back the car-centric infrastructure and especially affordances towards drivers, there is no risk of drivers being bothered or annoyed or taking rash decisions, the cars just follow policy which is whatever you want to be, every merge is now a proper zipper at the very end of the merge lane & all that.

And wherever that's an option you can just bury the road entirely and keep pedestrians in the sun up top as they did for the centre of the planned city of Louvain la Neuve in Belgium:

> one of the main points of the urban design of Louvain-la-Neuve was to make it people rather than automobile centred. As a consequence, the city center is built on a gigantic concrete slab, with all motorized traffic travelling underground. This allows most of the ground level of the city center to be car free.

(when they need new accommodations, they expand the slab and build the buildings at the same time)

> I'd imagine that vehicle communication would allow them to be even more sophisticated.

That's a really sad lack of imagination.
Doh! Thanks for letting me know.

That's kind of like discovering that a building's blueprints consist of some doodles on a napkin.

If I were the plaintiff, I would argue that not using a VCS completely removes all credibility of that software and company.

I’d like to see your whitepaper!
I would rather say in addition to numpy.
Tensorflow, and the more recent CNTK may be good candidates for a production environment. Keras is a simplified interface to those.

Other libraries that people have used include PyTorch and Scikit-learn. But right now Tensorflow and CNTK might be among the fastest/more scalable.
That video is just full of false assumptions. For example at 0:25 he attributes the delays between cars starting at traffic lights to bad reaction times of humans.

No, you start with a short delay because otherwise there is no way to reestablish the safety distance to the car in front of you. Which you still want to have with automated driving because self-driving cars won't solve sudden mechanical failures.

> “Unless we stop the conflicts, unless we stop the migration of people from their homelands into neighbouring states, unless people have the means to either grow their own food or be able to afford to buy it, people will continue going hungry.”

That quote struck me as odd. What does the migration have to do with the price of food? If a meal really costs $320 in Sudan, I would imagine migration would be a much simpler solution to ending suffering. The migrant can just move to another country with better institutions and infrastructure where food is affordable. Migration may have other issues, but alleviating human suffering is one of the benefits.

Also, I'm not convinced there is a link between the percentage of food imported into a country and the price of food. If anything, food imports and trade would help decrease the price through specialization and trade.
I've been doing cold showers year-round outdoors for two years and for the past three days have been laid-up in bed with a cold.
My LinkedIn profile is not my authoritative job history -- my resume is. Your first job as a recruiter or potential hiring manager is to find my resume. It's not hard.

I should also mention that when I'm looking for a job, I'm usually contacting you. If I email you I will include a direct link to my resume. If I'm applying through a portal it will ask me to upload my resume. Either way there's no excuse for people in the recruiting/hiring pipeline to consult my LinkedIn profile rather than my resume.

(Sorry if there's a little bit of attitude leaking through here, but this is a personal soapbox of mine.)
Yes but I have 4 bulbs outdoors controlled by my $27 switch. Bulbs will fail over time, especially when exposed to the elements and seasonal temperature swings. I can set my lights to turn on off at a fixed time relative to sunset/rise or randomize it +- 30 mins. All with a switch that I bought at a big box store 10 years ago.
>I'm not an expert on Spanish law. (Are you?).

No, I'm not. I've made an effort to read and understand the relevant law to the best of my ability. If someone knows more I'd welcome any further information.

>I don't know whether merely voting is illegal or not at the level of individual people.

My understanding is that the constitution simply invalidates the referendum, and I'm certain it doesn't explicitly criminalize it.

Keep in mind that even Madrid has not been pushing any claims that simply voting would be illegal.

>But the issue seems largely moot, as it wouldn't be feasible to prosecute individual people for voting.

It does, yeah. But above I was responding to a commenter describing the voters as criminals, which is an unfortunately common view.
They're certainly up in some areas, but the latest gen brings real competition.
They also charge you more if you visit their website several times in a row or if you look up the prices from a Mac book. So that's personalized.
Will it? In the past 6 years the price per GB only halved (along with endurance by the way, but its still enough for a lifetime of a normal laptop/PC).
TechCrunch will publish almost anything, so long as they think it will drive clicks. If you're a decent writer and want to write about a controversial topic for free, they'll likely have you.
That almost reads like a joke. The guy using Scala is criticized by Java evangelists (no other word when you reject somebody because they don't know one specific language) for not keeping up with changing technologies.

Hope you found another position and can look at this experience thinking that you're better off not working there.
Ah yes! Just the other week I turned on Pilot Assist on our XC90 during a long road trip and people playing on their phones in left lane stabbing their brakes make for a very rough ride as the car keeps braking and then re-accelerating to try to keep a constant distance.

Not to mention all of the people cutting you off because you've left enough space for them to jam their car in front of you. I had to intervene a number of times and reposition myself in traffic to get away from "non-smooth" drivers,
Mobile devices are very constrained. The OSes are locked down, the screens are small, high CPU apps are out, and input is slow and cumbersome.

After trying a lot of apps I have found that a smart phone has only a few functions:

1. Talking and texting.

2. Taking pictures and video.

3. Maps and directions.

4. Music, movies, ebooks.

5. Brief interactions with services like Uber, Lyft, AirBnB, Los Angeles metro, etc.

6. Casual web browsing. (I want a bigger screen and a keyboard for anything in depth.)

7. edit: Casual gaming.

Looking at how most other people use phones I don't think I am alone.

These devices are limited and I don't think it took us long to exhaust their potential. There just isn't much else a phone can do well (and that locked down vendor fiefdoms will allow).

The PC era on the other hand gave us a long, wide, and deep trench of innovation that is still not exhausted. PCs are more open, more extensible, and have a much wider IO path to the human in the chair. The breadth of what a PC can do is incredible.

(The main problem with PCs is antiquated, insecure, bloated operating systems. Fix that and I think you'd see even more innovation.)

Of course I have been a mobile skeptic since the iPhone. I just saw the next incarnation of the feature phone. Since it was still locked down by carriers and vendors and since its bandwidth to the user is poor I knew it would not deliver lasting innovation.
Thats the nice thing about a mixed paradigm language, you can use the features when appropriate.
I've almost given up on the Play Store. It's overblown with all sorts of useless garbage. Want an alarm clock app? There are hundreds, if not thousands. I couldn't even find what I was looking for. Paid apps., Ads, in-app. purchases. It's an alarm clock for heaven's sake.

Is the brand new 11 TB offering really representative of SSD $/GB?

As of a year and a half ago you could buy the Samsung PM1633a 15TB for $10k[0], or about 67¢/GB (slightly cheaper than the Micron unit linked, 70¢/GB). It's still available around the same price[1]. So I guess you're right.

The price I see advertised for the WD Gold 12TB is a bit higher[2], or about 5¢/GB. Still, more than 10x better value in terms of raw storage.

That doesn't make much sense. A good comparison would be to look at big Telecom. A handful of large companies both build out the infrastructure and then sell their services to the public. Why would building energy infrastructure be any different?
Web apps are native on Chrome OS as was the case with its HTML5 cousin Firefox OS.

Most industries tend to consolidate over time with a few big players. For technology it's particularly true given the winner takes all phenomenon. Unless there is a fundamental new technology / hardware platform, there's little chance small startups can go into existing ones.

However, I am more interested in seeing technology disrupting old heavy industries. Please go outside the silicon valley and there are plenty of those.
Assume your personal device has a "Pedestrian" mode. When turned on, it will broadcast your position and velocity 10 times per second (a "Basic Safety Message", https://www.its.dot.gov/itspac/october2012/PDF/data_availabi...)

The safety message will be detected by all nearby autonomous vehicles, giving them a chance to slow down or stop while you cross.

That's the theory, anyway.

It also varies state to state.
There definitely is a change in Silicon Valley from before. I don't think it is a lack of things to be created by any means. The difference I see is that before the thing to do was create startup. Now everyone wants to go work for Google, Apple, Facebook or another large company. And why not, you can get a huge salary there without the risk and hard work of a startup. With so many more of the smart people are going to big companies rather than trying to make something on there own, I definitely expect less innovation here in the US, for now at least.

On the positive side, there are some things a big company can do that a small company can't. This may contribute to why so many people are going to work at big companies, and we may see some good results.
You should save this comment somewhere and get back to it in ~10 years if you happen to be married and have a kid :) I'm not being snarky or anything, I used to think the same.

If you don't think it's important, and the fact that you put 'so important' and 'high stakes' in quotes implies that you very much don't think it's important, then you'll make much more of an impact if you instead post about why you don't think it's important. Otherwise you're just indirectly insinuating things without evidence, a la the "hey I'm just asking the questions" people on AM talk radio, /r/conspiracy, etc. Asking questions is great, but most people's interpretation of what you wrote is that you're not asking a question, but rather making a statement in the form of a question so that you're not obligated to present a counterargument to support what you're strongly implying.

Alternately that's not what you were trying to communicate, and instead you're just innocently misusing quotation marks, in which case sorry for misunderstanding your point. Anyway that's probably why you're getting downvotes from some people. Little details like the quotes can completely change the interpretation of what you're communicating.
Using phrases like 'all built with', 'all have to start out as free', and so on, is fairly inaccurate. There are plenty of apps that run native, cost money upfront, and are still viable, profitable businesses.

Clearly a fluid API can not return a 2+ tuple as its results so the error issue you note is a non-issue.

The clean way to deal with errors in fluid APIs is to have a terminal .init() that returns an error (which can also specifically note which options are "illegal", etc.)
Fast.ai: What I Learned from Lessons 1–3
I'm 40 and have never witnessed age discrimination[1]. I know multiple people 40+ and 50+ who work in tech and they don't seem to have any problems finding jobs (or being poached) or finding contracts. Admittedly, the people I know have all been ICs, managers, CTOs and back during their careers. I do not personally know anyone who has just been an IC their entire career.

I'm sure age discrimination happens, but I wonder if this (like many things in tech) is common the SV bubble and way less common everywhere else.

As someone else mentioned below, I think what age discrimination is out there is going to go away as the first big programming generation gets older. First, many ICs in general will be older. Second, and probably more important, is the whole generation who is getting older now is used to the skills treadmill.

[1] I wonder if age discrimination is the wrong word here. I'm going to guess it's more of family obligation discrimination. A 40 something with no kids or family is not going to be that different from a 20 something without any obligations. Age has just become an easy proxy here because many people now wait until their 30s to have kids.
Most recruiters are going to look at your LinkedIn profile, and they won't do the digging to find your resume unless they like your LinkedIn profile. That's just the way it is, whether you think there is an excuse for it or not. You're only hurting yourself by refusing to spruce up your LinkedIn profile.

Here's a classic joke:
http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/pnw/microsoftjoke.htm
int main() is not a prototype. int main(void) is a prototype. int main() declares main with an unknown (at this point) but fixed number of arguments (i.e., non-variadic). Callers must guess the correct number and types of arguments, the compiler does not enforce anything. In contrast, int main(void) declares main with exactly 0 arguments, to be enforced by the compiler.

For main it doesn't matter much since usually you don't call it yourself, but consider:

int f(); // no arguments, apparently

int g(int a, int b, int c) {
return f(a) + f(b, c); // at least one of these is fishy...
}

int f(double d) { // oh, the caller guessed wrong. twice.
return (d != 0.0 ? 0 : 1);
}

GCC and Clang do not complain about this program even with -Wall (they do with -Wstrict-prototypes).
