If Uber was only a world wide Taxi company with virtually no capital costs, wouldn’t this be incredibly profitable alone?

I am not clear on the impetus everyone sees for Uber creating self driving cars. If developed by another company, can’t they just add them to the service? Do they really want to be responsible for that capital?

I’m not american, so I may be incorrect, but I believe many of the top ranked schools tend not to have prelaw/criminal justice as a major. So it could be in part a school quality issue.

You want to hold InfoWars accountable for the accuracy of its stories? A noble intention, but probably doomed.

One of the interesting things I noticed during the election cycle was the amount of vitriol directed at fact checking organizations like FactCheck.org and Politifact. Calling them partisan hacks and just wings of the DNC was commonplace in some circles. It all seemed rather brazen to me, but shockingly it also seemed to work.

Fair.
I have no idea why you were downvoted this was the exact quote that came to my mind when I read the text you quoted as it sums up the principle perfectly that knowledge of math just doesn't come passively. Some context from wikipedia about the quote, 'Euclid is said to have replied to King Ptolemy's request for an easier way of learning mathematics that "there is no Royal Road to geometry," according to Proclus' [1].

On point, but some addendums:

Chicago/NEC isn't viable for HSR until 200mph at least, which means dedicated passenger rails, which means a new corridor anyways. The CSX route from DC to Pittsburgh isn't particularly great from this purpose. Of course, one of the issues with the Keystone to Harrisburg is that the wye is just north of Philly's station, so either you have to run the locomotive around in Philly or you bypass the stop entirely on the way to NYC.

In terms of engineering, the worst part is going to be the Ridge and Valley section of the Appalachians, roughly Blue Mountain to Bedford if you're following the PA Turnpike. The problem is that you have steep ridges very perpendicular to your direction of travel, which requires either detouring to find a water gap or tunneling through the base. Once you're on the plateau proper, passenger rail can easily handle the grades.

As for your final point: that's the big problem with the Midwest: pretty much nothing's colinear. In contrast, a straight line from from DC to Boston literally passes right through NYC [1] and very near Baltimore, Wilmington, Philly, Trenton, and New Haven, with Hartford, Springfield, and Providence a bit further off.

[1] When I drew it from the Capitol to Boston City Hall, the path over Manhattan was from roughly the northwestern corner of Lower Manhattan to the southeastern corner of Midtown Manhattan.

Since we don't know the exact specification of the problem other than what he said, she said.

Hand welding could be because their auto bot welding parts were having issues, and are in the process of fixing them. Is it really that bad? the alternative would be sitting on their butt while the bots are fixed - resulting is zero cars made. Which would have a much much worse public perception?

The other official reason is battery pack issue (could be related to welding, who knows). Again Battery pack is their defacto business, Tesla is essentially a big battery pack strapped into a car. They know how to put batteries better than almost anyone else in the market - if anyone can bounce back from this setback quickly - it's Tesla.

So, again, I don't see a huge issue. I see temp setbacks.

I will take slow production rate over a massive recall of cars (which happens quite often per year, by car industry veteran), any day of the week.

I don't own and Tesla stocks, or any products made by any companies by Musk - or indirectly profit from his products. I also don't worship him.

I just don't like the general witch hunting mentality on the internet. Where minor setbacks or mistakes are blown way out of proportion.
I think 'luck matters' argument is applicable only if you have already few things going on in your life. I mean you are putting in the effort, doing what is necessary, everyday, in and out.

The other part is lottery by definition. If you stayed at home, played video games all day and won the lottery, then that is the very literal definition of luck.
I own a house and stocks. I can live in my house. And it allows me to grow tomatoes. They are both good investments for different and overlapping reasons.
You did buy it if the law/zoning said it would stay that way. Hence people getting worked up when people talk about allowing big buildings where they currently aren't allowed.
If you look at the original plans for the 16th Street/Mission Station, you'll see it was intended to be built as part of a multi-use complex with housing, offices and shops. This was killed off in the wake of community opposition that it would---among other things---destroy the character of the neighborhood because of how the urban renewal projects in San Francisco of the 1970s came to be seen as threatening the very thing YIMBY seems to be trying to restore: affordable housing.

The real problem seems to be that people have forgotten why certain rules were put in place. BART was largely built as a cut and fill effort; this caused very real problems for businesses along Market and Mission as it was being built since they were harder to get to. It is likely that most people in San Francisco were quite aware of another famous victim of urban renewal in Santa Monica and what it could do to the character of a neighborhood. Coupled with what was happening with the redevelopment in South of Market and the Financial District, it is understandable that voters decided to pull the brakes on this nonsense. The problem, of course, is that like tax cuts, these rules are nigh impossible to revise once in place even if the situation has changed.
For now!

When storage and network bandwidth increase sufficiently, when we start measuring storage costs in terabytes rather than gigabytes, the sheer size of the data set is no longer going to be a preventative measure against ex filtrating it.

What are the chances that either corporations or 3 letter agencies are going to voluntarily delete their data on you before we reach that point?
I'm very much a pro YIMBY kind of guy, but I feel like there's a hard pro-urbanization, anti-expansion aspect to this. And the reason that gets to me now is that, while I totally get the pros and cons of both urban and suburban settings, but this debate always seems to be binary, when in reality, it's like every other socioeconomic factor, and is just a matter of tradeoffs.
I'm saying this as a guy who has done the 2+ hour commute each direction, but who also is fortunate enough to live in a suburb and my commute is a whopping 4 minutes, so I obviously am prejudiced here.

But I really think that expanding development into further areas brings with it economic advantages for those outlying communities (and yes, gentrification as well), and we have far more space right now by going out rather than up. Why not use it?
> The most noticeable last-minute change is probably that we had to revert the code that showed a good MHz value in /proc/cpuinfo even for the modern "CPU picks frequency dynamically" case

all sorts of applications take the tick count (rdtsc) times cpu frequency + boot time in order to get some approximation of the current time (cheaper than doing a syscall). In windows they even have an api function QueryPerformanceFrequency for getting the frequency. Now that of course is all wrong because of 'dynamic scaling of voltage and frequency' feature of the cpu.

Whatever you do in software, it will be wrong in due time because of some significant changes in a lower level...

It’s like you as a professor have grad students in your lab, not just a few like a western professor, but maybe 10 or even 20. A company needs some work done, you need the money, your grad students need to graduate, so...they use the lab to do the work for the company, professor gets paid (important since their normal salary is 10k RMB/month or less), grad students get to graduate, company gets cheap labor....

It was really annoying to us because the professors would always keep their best students (especially undergrads, the good ones were better than grad students as they would go abroad and not become grad students in china) not allowing them to work for us as interns unless we had really tight guanxi with them. America is still 10 times better than china in this regards. Unless they root out the corruption, they are never going to advance beyond paper farms no matter how much money they throw at it.
RISC-V was developed by the state, in particular, by UC Berkeley, a public school. And IIT Madras is also another public school. So again, a branch of the Indian state is developing this Shakti processor.

There's really nothing capitalist about this at all.
If you come to the meeting, we'd be happy to talk more about these things in detail! Politics in SF is very complicated and fraught with strange alliances.
I'm unsure about how this works. Are you creating surveys that get filled up by users? How is AI going to validate a business idea without input from real users?

Some more information about your process would help - because it sounds interested as a service but leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
Uber is valuable only because it has solved a two party network problem at a city level. You need drivers and you need riders. If you don't have any drivers riders won't come and vice versa.

Two party networks are much more difficult to solve than one party network problems. Because with two party networks you have a chicken and egg problem.

Anyone who has solved self driving, has near unlimited scale on the driver side. Their cars can autonomously be present to respond to peak demand - e.g having thousands of cars at Burning Man.

In the autonomous car world, Uber has no place if it doesn't have that tech. There is almost no reason for the company which has self driving tech to license it to Uber, when they are easily run it themselves. The only value Uber has right now is because it has crossed the critical mass on the two party network. And some people thought they could solve self driving cars.

OTOH, a global two party network (e.g Airbnb) is exponentially tougher than a city level two party network. Which is why Airbnb has almost no competition (except some local players in China), while Uber has competition everywhere. In fact, Uber has already lost and conceded a few major markets (China, Russia).

Can Uber - even sustain what they already have. I have my doubts and theories, but that's for another day.
Not ACT, just GRE. And Testy was actually recommending people prepare less than they do. (I think she’s wrong, incidently. If she had a $200,000 scholarship riding on the outcome, she’d prep)

The LSAT is entirely different from MCAT. It’s a skill based test. From what I saw the MCAT is more content based, and you can cram the knowledge, except for the reading section.
These guys will have to drop out and start a funded company if they want this tech to go anywhere. I don't expect IIT-M to be able to manufacture and sell the finished design.
Thanks. I'm the author of the blog post. I have used your service before and it has come in handy many times.

Isn't it because "Tesla, a public company, promised/projected this production goal"?
You mention skyrocketing tuition, but haven't mentioned the second major cause of declining admissions, which is that employment rate for new grads _still_ hasn't recovered from 2008-2009 declines[1].

Wildcard certificates are not really a solution especially in this scenario. If you are using wildcard certs you have one more problem to deal with.
Sure, but licences are not free to obligate anything at all. A lincense cannot legally obligate otherwise illegal behaviour, for example. It just wouldn't hold up in court. My question is about how far licenses can circumscribe non-illegal behaviour.

There are clear pathological cases that probably wouldn't hold up in court either. What if a software contract says that you must turn over your first born child? I image that the software company would have to provide some very good reasons for including such a clause.

So, how far can a license actually go?

Preferred shares can have a combination of

* liquidation preferences

* various wratchet provisions in case of a liquidity event yielding a lower ROI than anticipated

* pro rata rights

* dividend accrual

* board seats

Common shares have none of that.
Green<Beret>Peace would totally object.
Actually, that's not true in the U.S. Before the WWI, there was a strong movement (which was killed by federal government because of the WWI) to direct democracy in many U.S. states and it left with the democracy that's modern comparatively to many countries even today.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the two most democratic countries, USA (at least at local level) and Switzerland are also among the most successful ones.

The "they have to wait until they are ready" argument was always a red herring regarding democracy. It's like with any other skill, you don't learn by waiting until you're ready to become an expert, you learn by doing.
I frequent math.stackexchange.com and never write anything on paper. I enter my solution in MathJax either directly in the answer space or use MacDown which lets me enter MathJax offline and view the result as it is entered.

My answers have more detail than most since I am working out the math as I enter it.

I think I do OK since I have over 60,000 reputation points.
Agreed that design patterns and just thoughtful design in general can help create frameworks that are easy to get up and running. I guess what I was getting at is that a non-coder could probably stay completely in the browser, maybe even completely on the bubble.is site (bouncing back and forth between the docs and the editor) and have a clear path to launching an app that they can feel comfortable knowing is secure and will probably perform well enough. With Python and Django, they'd have to cobble more things together and the risk that they end up going down some rabbit hole that doesn't quite have to do with their initial goal is greater.
Yeah, with a sub-3.0 GPA even with like a 180 on the LSAT, you're basically out of the t14 (except for a few splitter-friendly schools if you get lucky).

The good news is that if you scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT, you probably don't need to go to law school to be successful :)
How is that anybody else's problem?
Breezewood, PA is pretty infamous: I-70 has a stoplight with US-30, where you turn right, go through a second stoplight, turn right again, and then get back on I-70. It and the I-78 approach to the Holland Tunnel are the only two places where the interstate has a traffic light, although the road is 35mph immediately in front of it in PA (I don't know what the speed limit of the NJ road is).

Freeways ending in stoplights are actually fairly common, although they usually have lots of advance warning saying "FREEWAY ENDS." 50mph and 55mph roads having stoplights on them aren't particularly uncommon, particularly in rural areas.

Quoting eganist from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15683853:

Google explains the Pixel 2s super stable video recording

Fixed it for you. I know for a fact at least 2 asian countries which are either actively using or trialling this, and not just at airports. Both already have fairly comprehensive facial recognition DBs of their citizens (smile for your driver's license picture!)

I've also heard anecdotal accounts of people who stay too long airside at SIN being questioned by airport police. They walk right up to them - pretty obvious what's going on. My only surprise is that they would reveal their capabilities so obviously, but maybe that's a deliberate strategy ("we know everything so don't try anything").

It's only a matter of time before basically all governments are doing this. The tech is there.
There are lots of people who do elaborate things in Excel. I'm sure they could learn Python, but they don't and won't. Instead of changing the people, consider that maybe what they want/need is something like Excel but more powerful.
I'd like to object. True, the mainstream channels ARD and ZDF show a little bit too many quiz shows and music shows - and the main local radio stations are very lean on interesting content. But there is a bunch of public TV channels and radio stations that provide high-quality content - 3sat, arte (culture), ARD-alpha (science, education), Phoenix (politics, documentaries), Deutschlandfunk, Bayern 2, Bayern 5, and many more.

I once went to take a tough mudder without any preparation. I wanted to see what shape I was in straight from the computer chair.

Well, it was in Mount Snow - turns out that going up and down large mountains was the hardest part for me. The obstacles themselves were pretty straightforward, but I was completely exhausted from jogging up mountains. I did skip the ice bath, though.
I did exactly that in about 1978 on the Commodore PET and showed it at a meeting.
I too found the article fascinating, along with your comment. My reaction is that in your openness, you exhibit a bravery and presence of mind that I admire.

It's definitely to be welcomed, but India barely has the kind of interests, state-apparatus or companies that'd want something like this to succeed. India neither has Baidu, nor Tencent, nor Wechat. They have Flipkart, which is barely an Alibaba, and is on a long drawn collision course towards merging with Amazon. The startups I've seen generally seem to target foreign markets, or to service people who service foreign markets; this is inherently a tiny subset of India's population.

Considering the 'prestige' and money that comes with working in the US, I'd be very surprised if the country can ever accumulate enough talent to do anything fundamentally significant (esp. since all of the relevant Education/Industry is entirely Anglophone).

I also feel there is generally a lot of self-flattering that goes on, often for this very reason. I'm old enough to remember the embarrassment that was to be 'India's answer to OLPC' (also conceived at an IIT of note).
Not to give the AfD (German right wing 'tea party') any benefits, but the necessary discussion of social allocation of income and such is one that is buried under crap news in Germany as a long standing tradition.

Your analysis is on the point, but I believe that the AfD is more of a symptom and not much of a cause.
So I might be misunderstanding climate science, but wouldn't the change be a seesaw like change where climates are relocated based on all of the pressures (man-made and local)?

Putting rail over the new Detroit/Windsor bridge isn't a particularly good idea (you're not really connecting the stations), but actually crossing the river (neither the Saint Clair nor the Niagara) isn't the problem. The hard problem is solving the border control issue.

These folks have no qualms with ARM. They are building their own chips using the RISC-V ISA. This literally has nothing to do with ARM or Intel.

The ISA isn't the hard part in building a chip, the building the chip part is. The thing they have going for using an existing ISA is that they get kernel and toolchain support.

They have many millions in support in the project and see all the reasons why they will succeed. What would be awesome is if AMD gave them assistance in getting their parts running in EPYC sockets.
