Yeah I stopped playing during HotS despite being very passionate about the game because it just became so boring to watch at the highest levels which broke my heart. But I recently picked it up again and just finished watching the WCS finals this past weekend. I think SC2 is the best it has ever been in terms of gameplay for both players and spectators. Most of the matches I watched over the last few weeks have had intense, back-and-forth games that really showed off the multitasking these pros can exhibit. I didn't see very many games which were decided by a mid-game deathball fight which has been fantastic to watch. This is how it should have been all along. I highly recommend that anyone who put it down some time ago check it out again, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
This vulnerability had to do with the multisig wallet library code, not with Parity itself. Using geth won't protect you from badly-written contracts.
This, indeed, is a major step for Waymo. While some people may be skeptical about the safety of these rides, we all saw this coming. This has been a part of the ambitious goal most self-driving companies set out when they start. The reason I say "part of the goal", is because the end goal is L5 - to handle more complex scenarios which I assume Waymo is still working on.

Taking the ninety-ninety rule or the rule of credibility into consideration, the remaining 10% of development will probably take 90% of the time. By this, I mean that reaching a stage where L5 cars are owned by consumers can take a long time (if at all people want to buy instead of sharing, but that's a separate topic). For example, running this project in Pittsburgh, Boston, or SF is much more difficult than in suburbs of Arizona. Conditions with rain, snow, uneven terrain, high population density are still difficult to handle.

Several challenges still remain, from both technical and legal perspectives. However, any of that may not undermine the tremendous opportunities for Waymo (or its partners). There are several areas/markets that are ready for this technology (e.g., ride sharing in suburbs, transportation of non-dangerous goods over passengers, etc.)
You seem to be right! That doesn't dramatically change the problem, but with avg blocksize 13Kb https://etherscan.io/chart/blocksize multiply 6000 blocks per day the data to download per week is just 700Mb, am I right? I wonder why the wallet syncs so slowly then.

Shouldn't believe random charts on the internet!
Not to mention that since WoW, Diablo 3, Hearthstone, and Overwatch have been massive successes. (I'm pretty sure SC2 sold well, but not as much as these other ones.) I can't think of another studio that has such a consistent commercial and critical track record.
I think they're massively underestimating the general public's reaction to something like this. I as a nerdy tech dude think this is very tight and if I was much younger this would blow my mind, but I think this also might frighten many people.

I don't know if that's being considered at all here or maybe the transition will be slow enough to allow people to cope with the change.
I've obviously miscommunicated here quite badly. That's something I apologize for. Just to clarify:

1. My intention wasn't to hijack a discussion but to create an isolated discussion in a comment block. Hijacking, to me, would've been to reply to every other comment with the same thing.

2. The comment is still related to the article; specifically the rhetoric.

3. I wasn't aware that discussing morals is frowned upon in HN.

> Their products are not under active maintenance nor development.

Isn't it the same? Someone that directly update the app to newer API or someone that update an API to make sure the older apps are still running is pretty much the same at the end. Someone has to do that work.

There's someone that pay for it, whether it's nerds by their time, or Microsoft by their backward compatibility support.

Even for Microsoft, at the end of the day, you pay that price through your next Windows license, and still, they may decide not to keep supporting some of it (16 bits programs are no longer supported over 64 bits for example).

It's not different from a subscription model, except that instead of paying a fortune to support most things (which may not include what you actually need), you pay only to keep support over the product you actually use and need.

I'm not saying subscription models or cloud application are amazing, but being able to keep running your old apps is not the norm and is mostly made possible because there's someone that pay for it for you. At least in a subscription model, that relation is pretty direct, you pay for the software to keep working, unlike hoping that Windows invest into that old techs to make sure they keep running.

The cost of housing cannot go below the cost of servicing the debt required to construct the housing, otherwise that capital will flow elsewhere to find returns and no housing will be built. Realistic solutions will focus on ways to lower the cost to bring units to market and finding new low-cost sources of capital to fund it.

Looks nice and clean. What use cases make this a better choice than Ktor? This is an important question to answer because Ktor seems a bit more complete, has more contributors, and is backed by IntelliJ.

One big point in Javalin's favor: it does have more documentation than Ktor, which is currently missing some rather important parts (e.g. having no documentation for authentication and authorization is kinda unforgivable).

OOP as most people get to know it seems to be a bleak application of the original concept.

And the original was not aimed at dealing with the internals of a single program sitting on a single CPU, but grand simulations running on massive clusters. There each "object" would could very well be a process of its own, running on its own dedicated hardware.

Effectively OOP became another one of those buzzwords on the bingo board...

No, it's not to serve users. Users don't want broken webpages either. It's to make their own browser look faster at the expense of webpage authors. Because users will blame webpage authors for their webpage being broken. Would they know that they could have this same page unbroken with slightly worse performance, no one would choose the better performance.

Sure, there's something to be said about webpage authors getting off their butts quicker, if their webpage is actually broken, rather than just not quite as fast as it could be, but the majority of webpages are not actively maintained. Chrome is simply breaking those. With only 8 months of a transitional period, there's no two sides to this argument. What they've done is unresponsible in every way.
Ya, this sounds like an easy problem to solve.

If the passenger doesn't exit the vehicle after a set time, start a video call to a support central (perhaps the person is unable to get out because the doors won't unlock? or they fell asleep?) The attendant could then instruct the vehicle to go to a pre-specified location nearby where a human can intervene, call another vehicle or notify the competent authorities.
The whole point of Ethereum is for people to be able to use custom contracts. People would be using Bitcoin if they only wanted to be able to use contracts by the Ethereum -- er, cryptocurrency developers.
You just have to keep building. At some point there is enough housing to meet demand at reasonable prices.
No, it's the opposite of the kind of thing NSA "loves to implement". The only reason this bug took so long to find is that it's a hardware/firmware bug, and you have to take the time to survey hardware RSA key generation to find it. Despite that fact, a bunch of grad students found it. Once you know the broken shortcut Infineon uses to generate primes, working out the exploit is itself academic. See, for instance, the name of the attack (ROCA) and what it stands for.

The NSA wants cryptographic vulnerabilities that are cryptographically "NOBUS". Dual_EC was a useful backdoor (if surprisingly clunky) because even if you understand the weakness, you can't take advantage of it without having custody of a private key.

This should be the top comment.

I move among different circles of friends. Some studied philosophy and political science, others arts in general, and others computer science.

It's scary that tech people have this very "blase" attitude (oversimplification perhaps?) that one's motive when it comes to how to handle distribution of money comes down to simple "meritocracy" and/or "greed."

As if the very fact that blaming the innate human debility of giving in to avarice or greed does not presuppose much more problems, such as ulterior motives, cultural bias, nepotism, etc.

There is, of course, the notion that the bigger a corporation gets (e.g., a conglomerate), the more dehumanizing it is. With such large sums of money being moved around (to whatever end or outcome) comes more "bottom line" interests and "corporate interests," and as such, it is less about the individual. The repercussions of this, which are pretty evident to me, is that it creates an institution or entity or agent ("corporation," if you want) that does not have a moral framework or acts not humanely but immorally, while its shareholders and investors can sleep comfortably at night because they distance the self from the company, so it is not the person acting immorally, but some "unknown force" (the Company), which, using reason, cannot actually be "immoral," because surely only humans can act in such a way.

What a world.
I don't have a link, but in referencing interactivity tests for some remote software development I did some years back, the maximum time between pressing a button and perceiving its effect to be considered "instant" is around 200ms. You don't want to go slower than that if you want it to "feel" fast & responsive.
I found my interest in sports went up when I understood the rules a bit more deeply, and some of the reason why. For instance, basketball for a long time looked really silly to me, and I thought I knew the rules because "we had played some in gym class", but it turns out that I knew almost nothing about it. There's a lot more to the rules about who can be where, and a lot of rules around what your feet are doing and what it means for them to be set or not, that makes the game much more interesting. Still not my favorite sport, but I can watch a game now without being bored, because my boredom was really being lost without realizing it. And what previously struck me as random gyrations where everybody is still, then suddenly everyone on both teams are in motion make much more sense to me. (Basketball has a lot of phase changes between the teams being solid and liquid, to stretch a metaphor.)

Similarly, while I understand why (American) football can look like 11 armored clowns randomly bashing into each other, it is arguably the most interesting and strategic game on offer by the time you understand the rules, the why of those rules, and the resulting strategies, metastrategies, statictics, etc. Baseball is also more interesting when you understand more of the whys of what is going on than just "Man hit ball with stick and run fast".

Of course there's no great virtue per se in loving to watch sports, so I'm not advocating that anybody seek this out, but if you are interested in what all the fuss is about, I recommend learning more about the sports and the rules and the second-order effects of the rules and such before writing them off. Unfortunately, I do not have any references; I did it the long, slow, hard way.

(Contrariwise, while soccer is fun to play, learning more about it has still left me pretty cold to the sport.)
>If they used a library instead of a contract, this wouldn't have been possible.

It's actually the opposite, using a library allowed this to break all the wallets using it. However, an Ethereum "library" isn't what you'd expect a software "library" to be - it's an executable contract that just is never supposed to be executed directly. But oops, nothing prevented that from happening.

The concept of everyone using a common, well-audited contract makes sense though. Virtually all Bitcoin multisignature transactions use the same script construction and it has never been hacked, despite being much older.
"I imagine that self driving cars will make traffic much worse"

With fewer accidents causing traffic jams it could be much better. Eventually many autonomous cars will probably network with one another to create an optimal traffic pattern as well.
Unless they sold that equity and used the money to buy ads, that's not really relevant. The allegations about Trump's digital team being mainly a money laundering operation would potentially be more impactful, but if proven true it would ironically cast doubt on whether they were designed to GOTV.
a lot of people drive with van full of networking gear, telco companies checking their coverage maps, telco companies checking the competition maps, regulators checking coverage, consumer magazines checking coverage maps, regulators checking something else but seeing the coverage while doing it, mapping cars, etc.

my points are 1) running the roads scouring for GSM and wifi networks is nothing out of the ordinary 2) they would probably not even have to create a mission for that, and use or piggyback something else.

> It however does seem patronizing to assert, as you say, that they are not people just like you

Depends what you mean. If you mean "they are not people" I don't assert this at all. If you mean "they are people who are not like you" I did assert this. How is that patronising, especially given that they are homeless, and you are not - It is attributing the difference to small, surmountable differences that find partonising.

Consider whether you also find "white man's burden" problematic. Treating other people like inferior versions of yourself doesn't help them.

> a majority of people in their life will experience an episode of what can be called mental illness

That's a very general statement. I can just as well claim that a majority of people in their life will experience an episode of what can be called "problems".

But are the types of mental illness that many american experience, the same as those affecting homeless people?

> Why does America have higher instance of homelessness than other countries

Which countries? looking here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_...

It says American homelessness is 0.18%, compared to 0.38% for the UK and 0.42% to Germany.

> Person gets into the driverless car way too intoxicated and passes out/overdoses/dies in the car -- need physical help?

> So now we have driverless cars effectively classified as emergency ambulances - so assuming the CARNOC is paying attention, they then drive the car to the hospital - and have to have a mechanism to contact said hospital

> Imagine the healthcare implications where if someone hasa seizure, ODs, cardiac, etc... what is the response time from the CARNOC, and getting them to a hospital ==> then what types of lawsuits will these companies see? what type of insurance will they require?

The comparison is useful because all of the above scenarios are possible in the Danish rail system.
Looking solely at the tax bracket is a little deceptive. In reality, with a $92k income, you'll pay:

- $17196.25 Federal tax (https://www.irs.com/articles/2016-federal-tax-rates-personal... with standard deduction)

- $5518.58 California state tax (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2017-California-Tax-Rates-and-E... Schedule X, with standard deduction applied)

- $7038 for OASDI

So you actually pay 19% federal, 6% state and 7.65% OASDI, for a total of 32.65%.

It's still bad but not 45%.
What jobs are they working? How many jobs have they had in the past year? I can only speak to my own experience with the homeless I've come in contact with. Most are mentally ill or are struggling with drug addiction. Sure some of them have jobs, but jobs of the street sweeping, sign holding sort that can't afford them even the most meager housing.

I understand that it's difficult to do correctly, but it has been done correctly in the past, on a few occasions (e.g. the scattered-site developments in Yonkers, NY).

It just seems like we've completely given up, and I'm not sure if that's something that has been politically ordained or if we just aren't interested in trying again.

> The pace of 'upgrades'? Way, unnecessarily faster

Not only that, but the availability of easy upgrades has incentivized companies to sell unfinished software and hope to patch fast enough in response to user complaints, instead of even bothering to actually finish the product as marketed.
Automobile infrastructure simply does not scale. Roads and parking are a massive waste of space and ongoing maintenance. Gas stations are superfund sites waiting to happen.

The entire car-culture and the industries that profit from that culture would need to be fought to improve transportation along with new buildout, and to the large extent, car culture has won (parking is part of local building codes, and a large part of state/federal funding for roads).

I'd like to hear how transport could be improved without transitions to mass-transit and increased walkability.
It will be interesting to see how Lyft's partnership with Waymo evolves given this tech announcement and Waymo's acknowledgment that they plan to offer their own ridesharing service.

Lyft's approach to self-driving partnerships in general seems to rest on the assumption that self-driving providers will catch up to each other before any of them can fully handle everything a human driver can do. If this assumption is correct, Lyft ends up in the great position of being compatible with all major self-driving providers before any of them can feasibly launch a standalone service without Lyft's driver network (who wants to take a car service that doesn't take you downtown? Or doesn't work in the rain?). Ideally, this means Lyft can negotiate favorable terms with all the providers and maintain their position as marketplace brokering between riders and ride providers (either human or robot).

But, if this announcement means Waymo is truly way ahead of the competition, is Lyft aiding and abetting its own demise by covering Waymo's short-term holes (weather, urban areas, etc) up until the day that Waymo can cut Lyft out and run their own service? If Waymo is the only self-driving game in town, and they solve the urban case, why do they need Lyft? I wonder if we'll see any tension develop between the two if leadership at Lyft starts to get concerned about this scenario being a likely outcome.
Funny, but I actually ended up writing my own LaTeX class ( https://github.com/mvarela/orbit-cv ) to reproduce a Hugo-based résumé for which print to PDF worked horribly bad. I probably spent more time trying to find the way to print it to PDF than to whip up the first iteration of the LaTeX class.
