The Reinheitsgebot is no longer in effect. Using rice as a fermentable in your beer doesn't make it any less beer than adding adjuncts like chocolate, coffee, fruit, vegetables, etc. While I can certainly appreciate the history of beer in Germany and the rest of Europe, there's a reason why there a bunch of breweries in Europe that are trying to emulate new styles that American breweries are creating. And most of them involve adding adjuncts. Milkshake IPAs include lactose and usually some sort of fruit. NE IPAs involve using flaked wheat or oats as a large percentage of the mash.
This happens all the time. Every single thing that you see in software development happens in network engineering and data center engineering, except that where in development in general senior people who write software are capable of at least guestimating complexities to provide a marginally unified front against the unreasonable expectations of execs, it is pretty much never the case in neteng or dcops as those that develop software cannot write their heads around the complexities of working with physical hardware.

It is rather counter-intuitive. In neteng and dcops, "I don't know and I cannot find out. I can only attempt to mitigate what i think might have caused it for next time" is a very reasonable answer to 99% of the "why this happened?" questions because in order to replicate the situation to test the theory one needs to recreate the same problem again on the same scale.

This also means that certain things cannot be tested. Most of generator tests are garbage - turning on generator and running it without production load delivered over the transfer switch does not test anything other than that one can turn on a generator and run it. The problem typically happens not because the generator ( also is there the generator or the first and the second generator? Why is there no generator bank for a non monkey-sized company? ) does not start - the problem is because over time transfer switch develops a problem and unlike generators it is not possible to test a transfer switch where in the event of a test failure the customers won't lose power unless the data center is designed from the beginning to deliver A and B powers over separate circuits to every single customer and every single customer has per system ( not per rack ) transfer switches.

Of course it costs a lot more money, something that companies are reluctant to spend.

I didn't get a paywall - maybe try a clean browser? Unless the last sentence is not "When the crash comes, and it cannot be too far away, it will be dramatic." But up to that point the article is weak, and these last words are lame. Bitcoin price increase is embedded into it, since it has limited supply by design. It will crash and burn when most of its participants quit it - which for now is unlikely. The fact that the price is so high is no indication it will crash and burn - only that the price will go down, and then, at some point, back up again.

It's also used as one of the spices in Aceh, Indonesia:

"On the other hand, besides the various kinds of ingredients used to make the food, there is also some unusual ingredients involved in the making of the dishes, and i am very interested about that issue. You will be surprised if i tell you that Marijuana has been used as food ingredients. Yes, it is proven that marijuana is known to be one of the food ingredients in Aceh city, Sumatra island, Indonesia. Usage of marijuana and another kinds of drugs are strongly banned in indonesia. Drug trafficker will face a death sentence if caught by the police. However, using it as food ingredients is tolerable. Even the vice president, Jusuf Kalla legalized the usage of marijuana as a seasoning. The reasons that support this approval are the fact that the marijuana is being used only just to give local distinct flavor of Acehnese dishes. In addition, marijuana has been a spice that becomes a part of Acehnese cooking method. It is a part of a local tradition. One owner of the Acehnese restaurant in Jakarta was asked by a newspaper reporter, and she said, "Marijuana is available in any Acehnese kitchen just like coriander"."Marijuana is a widely-accepted cooking spice there". Most restaurants in Aceh use some pieces of marijuana leaves as a seasoning to cook rice, soups, as well as some entrees. Some examples of dishes that cooked with marijuana are, lamb curry, noodle soup, beef curry, etc. Local residents said that the dishes cooked with marijuana leaves will smell and taste better it will also give local distinct flavor. Many people said that food seasoned with Marijuana in Aceh is somewhat very delicious and addictive." [0]

You forgot the part of shaping public opinion that their products are not a health issue and having the public subsidize their main ingredient. Even if you don't drink soft drinks you still subsidize health effects and corn and sugar.
While we may all be free marketeers and capitalists here, I think we do have to recognize that large corporations have very different interests than workers, managers and small business owners. We should also recognize that Fortune is not going to print anything that's not in a large corporation's very best interests. I didn't read this article, but it would seem that by recognizing the source, and reading the title, we can decide not to bother with large corporation propaganda.
Yea, it's funny how they had to add yeast after they realized it was the reason why beer is beer. But I agree that barley, water, hops, and yeast are the ingredients needed to be called a beer, but beer wouldn't be as great if brewers weren't allowed to experiment with a bunch of different adjuncts.
There was someone on twitter who very effectively demolished all this "trolley problem" speculation by pointing out two things:

- the knowledge of the world held by cars is partial and probabilistic. As it is with real humans, only with very different obscure failure modes (see for example the "adversarial images").

- if you get into this situation, something has already failed. Either in your safety practice or someone else's. That reduces the predictability of the situation and also the predictability of what your actions will do in that case.

Put those two together and you realise that any kind of "deliberate" (in the sense that one can impart "intent" to a computer system?) running over of a pedestrian is indefensible, and that real situations don't admit of neat counter-factuals like this.

I'm not convinced this is true (well it may be true morally but I don't think it's true legally). IIRC duplicate shipments are not considered Unsolicited Goods and in the UK you are legally required to inform the sender and return them if the sender requests.

The article is perfectly right when it describe what drives the current Bitcoin craze and its insane valuation but the conclusion is frankly a bit lazy:

>When the crash comes, and it cannot be too far away, it will be dramatic.

People have been saying that Bitcoin was going to crash for years now. And it has, multiple times, but always recovered so far. Seems like there's no shortage of "fools" willing to pump the currency even if for the most part they probably don't completely understand what it is, what it does and how it works.
UPS has been good to me in that regard. I once had a package that needed signature that I wasn't home for. He left the slip on my door. About six hour or so later, towards the end of the driver's shift, he was driving by my house again while I was getting home. He saw a car pull into my driveway so he stopped and brought out the package and gave it to me while I was getting out of the car. Said "I tried to deliver this earlier and nobody was home." Very nice of him to 1) remember and 2) actually care.

I have an aquatintance who works at UPS and loves it. YMMV though.

> You are required to own some ID (ID card or passport), and you're required to register the place you live in with the authorities.

Fair enough, but still, that's not a requirement here, and seems weird and oppressive (indeed my memory is that being required to register where you lived was a classic example of the non-free-ness of the Soviet Union).

> In any case, most people I know always carry their ID card with them in their wallet. You don't need it all that often, but you might as well carry it around, and having government issued proof of your identity is actually quite handy in many situations (situations that are handled with SSID and/or credit card in the US).

Sure, in practice I carry my driving license around most of the time in the UK. But the fact that I don't have to feels important.

Let me get this straight - while you "agree" to pay higher taxes, you actually get more from the government that you put in? It seems that your position first and foremost is aligned with your rational self-interest rather than abstract moral values.
Surely something as basic as typical traffic patterns in a town have been simulated? Because a vehicle coming onto you seems to be as basic and mundane an everyday traffic event as you will get.

It's in self driving proponents own best interest to have stringent standards, because if the public loses faith its going to be an uphill battle.

Simply demonizing human drivers and hand waving away errors is too self serving to work.

Frankly I'm astounded by the vitriol toward Bitcoin on HN. Bitcoin has the potential to actually change the world (unlike most of the BS startups coming out of SV), and yet all these voices on HN poo-pooing Bitcoin appear (to me at least) to outweigh those who are willing to give it a shot.

Why is this? Do people fear what they don't understand? Are they mad because they feel like they missed out? Does Bitcoin's success mean their loss (like the banking folks and the government establishment)?

Did people hate the internet this much in its early days?
It is.

However, auto is a big net win. You should understand it, and you should use it.

> The Machine acted in a way that was not expected by the human driver.

This is why I've been saying it's not enough for a self-driving car to just be better than the "average human driver". It needs to be way better, maybe 10x better. Because these cars are likely not going to drive the way we expect a human to drive in many situations, which could end-up causing more accidents due to this conflict with how humans actually drive, even if the car is "technically" as safe as an average human driver.
No worries, I wasn't sure if that's what you might have meant. Night Shift near Boston actually started their own distribution company which has helped a ton of local breweries get their beer out of saturated areas and into new markets where they might do better. Right now it's mostly them distributing New England beer to Chicago and a few other areas in the NE and then picking up beer from Pipeworks in Chicago and bringing it back to distribute up here.

I did the technical way. I downloaded my genome from 23andme and looked for the (I don't know the terminology) 'things' with the letters that indicate I have the genes. Coupled with the physical evidence (I find beer and green vegetables sour to the point of being vile), turns out I'm in the club..
Isn't it illegal to do stuff like "blocking an intersection" for instance?

What will a self-driving car do if for instance someone is driving in the opposite direction, towards it? Will it just continue driving, freeze, or get out of the way? Humans would likely get out of the way, even if that means "breaking the law" by going off-road or whatever. A self-driving car probably wouldn't do that, thus it would be the kind of "unexpected driving" that could really throw humans off, and may even cause more accidents than humans, in certain specific situations.
Maybe... I've used them three times, I think. Once everything was good, the next time I couldn't retrieve the package because the touchscreen and barcode reader were malfunctioning, and then the third time I got someone else's package and mine vanished into thin air. (I was able to dox the other person and leave their package where they could get it though.) The company where I work has essentially the same thing, and seemingly more reliable, if I'm willing to wait an extra day for it to get through their system.
Um, what does any of that have to do with the Congressional hearing?
That's a lot closer to the right kind of experience, for sure!
Also, in my opinion, cases where the type is not relevant to the way the variable is used. For example:

auto itemId = item->id(); // Could be an int, could be a string...
processSomeItem(itemId);
I believe the other ants recognize that the individual is infected and forcibly dispel her from the colony, which is a defense mechanism the ants likely evolved. At least that's what's portrayed in the Planet Earth documentary, which spends a few minutes focusing on this fungus. The fungus could have evolved to be more sneaky so the ants wouldn't recognize the infection until it was too late, but I imagine it's easier to just have the ant go somewhere high up instead.

It certainly can look like a co-evolved compromise, though it formed through two competing species. I think what you're getting at is the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis

I read the article expecting something new, but it just goes on interminably with objections that we all know about from the snowden era. Nothing is really specific to the voice data, its germane to every device connected to the internet.

So I too dislike articles like this, the title is misleading and the text was not compelling.
>Google's Danny Sullivan - "We want to get this right"

I feel like in a better world that would be, "We are legally obligated to get this right or stop trying."
I was skeptical. Then I remembered I mined some BTC back in the day and have it sitting on coinbase now. Now I realize your mind changes a bit once you own an actual bitcoin or some amound of btc or satoshi. Then you kinda don't become as critical. It's amazing to think of all the things I can buy with BTC without risking the paypal issues of account lockout or other similar cases.
Confirmed 'supertaster' here and while beer and most spirits are a no-no, throwing them into Red Bull or other ultra sweet mixers makes them quite enjoyable ;-) I also hated olives but have conditioned myself to tolerate them by constant exposure.
I dont think poopooing bitcoin's speculative bubble has to do with poopooing it as a technology.

For its original purpose as a digital currency, USD value should not matter (as long as it doesn't fluctuate too much)
As someone who "left" social media I still frequently feel a void from it. Recently I moved back to my hometown and realized I had completely lost touch with anyone I knew in high school. Different phone, didn't port contacts. I know they all live nearby but I feel like I lost them forever.

The bottom line is there is no connection.

Some parts of it, yes.

In the end, Bitcoin is still a wildly insane proposition and technology. It forces people to question longly held assumptions (on a millenium scale) of what money is. HNers are probably more likely to question, critique, and debate new things, and Bitcoin doesn't get a free pass simply because it's cool and exciting.
