Think so? My guess is that we are only sentient in our minds. Compared to a species still around that reached our level a billion years ago, I don't think we would even register as conscious.

It's all speculative, of course, but I tend to think we vastly overestimate how special, unique, important, intelligent, and so forth we actually are. The numbers just don't look like they support it.
A lot of cars are keyless.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_key#Nomenclature
Oddly enough I was watching Minority Report earlier and thinking about this. Automatic control with cars that all look alike - with a manual mode for when you are far off the beaten path.

Still, the author is on to something here. There will be no need to own your own car (and plenty of reasons not to) once ubiquitous on demand automatic cars are a thing.

Is it bad that I look forward to this time? Driving is one of my least favorite tasks. Literal years of my life wasted behind the wheel trying to make sure I don’t accidentally kill someone when I could be doing other more productive things.
He’s right but the timing is off by a factor of 2 or so. 25 to 50 years. I mean have you seen US infrastructure recently?
Little bit more than a single printf. For example you can do loops.

Didn't they choose a proprietary solution? If so, sorry, but shame on them.
> Don't make one person in charge of 50 people then (at least, not their direct line manager).

Which is, literally, delegation. Yes, front-line managers should have some understanding of what their people go through, and have direct lines with all of them. But the article didn't refer to frontline managers only. In fact, the opening example was about a VP. (I'd argue that it's mostly not about frontline managers - the title is badly chosen)

But even when you're a frontline manager, "step in" is not really a good option. Unless your team is tiny, inserting yourself into actual execution means you just created a huge schedule hazard for your team.

For better or worse, as a manager, you work through others. Your direct impact is very limited - your main job is allowing others to have maximum impact. (Protecting your team falls under that rubric - shield people from administrative noise, so they can do their actual job)
> It's ridiculous how democrat Hacker News is.

That's because it is international. What is considered "democrat" in the US is pretty much "obvious common sense" in the rest of the world.
The rest of the quote: "and use that to get a loan from the bank on the company you want to leverage a buyout, then charge that company 'management fees' and take the rest of their money all the way to your bank, while the shell of a former company burns to cinder."
First of all I don't think most entrepreneurs that pass the 2 year mark on a business are kids, they are probably middle aged.

Second while access to capital is clearly a requirement for many business types, it is not for others. If you don't have money to start something, use charm, motivation and time, and maybe take early investment at worse terms. In short, hustle. You can always start another business under better capital availability conditions later. Branson is a great example of a hustler.

Personally I worked instead of going to university then started my first business with $30k and lots of time (years) living in a (very) cheap place. A few ventures later, I am self funded and probably spend half of that a month. While this is still paltry versus what many SV startups spend, it's a lot more than most people can afford, and I am both personally aware and deeply thankful for the opportunity to develop ideas and lead a team.

My gut feeling is that people who feel everyone starting a business is an entitled prick haven't met many entrepreneurs.
Ask HN: When (do things that don't scale) == False
I get the idea PG says startups need to "do things that don't scale". When do you think this is a bad idea? Or is it? Is it possible to run oneself into a hole with this mindset?

Man, I feel like I'd found a nation just to have the risky and inefficient wonder of the automobile. The one form of rapid transport which represents freedom and not tyranny.

I hope this guy is wrong, and people collectively decide that the automobile is worth human lives and tremendous waste, for my own selfish vision of the world to remain true.
A templating engine does a few things differently than printf. Typically, it will compile into an intermediate version, for scripting languages like python as a module or object in the language. Most importantly, it escapes the input to prevent arbitrary HTML injection, for example a user inserting a <script> tag in a blog post content causing the javascript to be evaluated. Often, template engines have features for making it easier to design web user interfaces such as template inherritence and composition so you can share things like layouts, headers, and menus across pages.
> or have representatives responsible for representing the opinion of subgroups that they manage.

Yes. And so the opinion becomes filtered. See above.
I thought Itanic was just a really smart diversionary tactic to kill off HP-PA (HP), MIPS (SGI) and Alpha (DEC/Compaq) development. It worked, and it didn't matter that Itanic was itself on borrowed time.

The later is further proof that if you sell to dinosaurs, you won't survive the Big One (in this case, x86 growing up courtesy of AMD and Arm spending 15 years washing the footing underneath both by moving personal computing to mobile devices). This should be a big warning sign to the OpenPower guys. You need to start small and scale/price up, not the other way around.
>>Basically, I can only conclude that we are encouraged to be 'good citizens" by borrowing money and paying interest on it while slowly paying back the principal. People who live on a cash-only basis, which was considered to be a respectable practice not that long ago (borrowing was shameful) have terrible credit scores.

Welcome to the new consumerism.... Being Thrifty, having savings, and generally being responsible with your income is bad. The Government does not like it and punishes you with low/no interest on savings and inflation that outpaces that savings, Banks hate it because they would rather you spend spend spend so you need their loans to live above your means so they can not only get interest but maybe you will also over draft on your checking and they can kill you in fees.

Retail shops hate it because they need to sell you increasing amounts of cheaply made poor quality product you must replace every 12-18 months

The economy lives and dies with debt. If everyone started saving and living with in their means tomorrow the national economy would come to a screeching halt and we would have a depression that would make 1929 looks like a boom year
Yes, but why should they? If a community likes wide roads, low traffic, short buildings, are they somehow obligated to knock down those buildings so that other people can live there?
I'd love to start a business but I rely on my employer to give me health insurance and money to pay for rent and food. While I have a modest savings account compared to the average American, trying to justify it on a risky business venture where it would be literally fail into poverty or get moderate success isn't a chance I want to take.

I'm going to assume many other people share my thought process as well. Hell, I'm willing to bet health insurance is 95% of the reason why most people won't take chances when it comes to entrepreneurship. Compound this with States that didn't expand medicaid and other politicians that are trying to cut back on healthcare by cutting funding to programs like medicaid and the ACA, it's very easy to understand why the rich and the elite have a massive advantage when it comes to starting businesses.

What you are posting goes against the reality many people face, if I could fail into success without paying for rent and healthcare I would but I can't so I won't.

Also calling people "special" for succeeding seems very dehumanizing to other people that aren't "special."
Indeed, just Google "Windows 10 keylogger" and see what Microsoft put in the OS itself...

Some "obscure manufacturer" collecting this information gets a "warning" article, yet Microsoft, who is probably collecting the same if not even more detailed information about what you type and everything else, generated plenty of "telemetry is good for you" articles instead? Something doesn't seem right here...
> 2. Don’t fight the SDK / tools

I see this quite a bit in projects where devs haven't taken the time to understand the SDK and tools/patterns provided by Apple. The biggest one I see blundered quite often is the delegate pattern in favor of an event/subscription system.
I grew up working at a very successful family owned restaurant and landed in tech after college. The two can’t be any different.

Owning a restaurant is a lifestyle in ways that working in tech never would be. There is no free time, there is never a day off, there is no exit in sight. It’s 80-100 hours in per week, small margins, and frequent turnover.

Can it be profitable? Yes. But it requires as much, if not more domain expertise as anything else, including doing a startup. And, there are far fewer people out there talking about the valuable details of doing it correctly - very different from the startup world.
> His core notion that because the central UI is a 16:9 horizontal aspect ratio that differs from the model S, then it MUST be a passenger oriented design perspective as opposed to a driver specific one.

Well, that and the fact the Model 3 gives the driver almost no controls.
Sounds a little like stoic philosophy and why that appeals to some.
Well I lived in SF and in NYC presently. Unless you count corner stores (and I don't, because they are exorbinantly expensive) 10 minutes is better than average for those two cities.

You also need to consider the opportunity cost. If more people were willing to take the risk of starting a business perhaps that would lead to a more prosperous society.
That's fair. If we want to say that the top 30% are all "rich kids" as per the title of the article, then so be it.
Wow. This is Bob Lutz saying this. The car guy. Exec at GM, Ford, Chrysler, BMW. Into performance and car styling. If he thinks cars are over, the auto industry will listen.

They [almost] all have a physical key. It typically slides out of the fob. I don't know of a single [non-Tesla] production car that lacks a manual way to enter. If my "keyless" Audi is completely and truly dead (batteries removed!), I can unlock it.

Update: changed to reference this is a Tesla rant, not specifically Model 3.
I appreciate you taking the time to share. Thanks.
> The most common area of software I know of, and heard is most beginner friendly, is web development. So I guess that would be one of the areas to focus on?

It's worth bearing in mind that pretty much everybody else has heard that web development is beginner friendly and flocked to it en masse.

> I understand there is the programming side, but also a theoretical computer science component (algorithms, data structures. Etc.) that many big companies like to ask in interviews. I'm guessing I'd have to venture into new math territory (discrete math?).

You have it more or less correct. The core of a CS degree is a data structures course, an algorithms course, and a discrete mathematics course and you will want to know these topics well. A bit of searching will reveal the names of the current well-regarded textbooks for each area.

You will also want to have gone through at least one textbook on software engineering as well as one guide on good coding practices, e.g. McConnell's "Code Complete".

To be competitive with other candidates for the big 4, I would suggest skimming both a computer architecture course and an operating systems course as well.
I did not understand why Comcast and the other ISPs oppose these initiatives. After the city loses a ton of money running their own ISP, Comcast (or the ISP of your choice) will always be ready to pick up the pieces.
I should point out that PageDash also tries to handle saving nested pages and iframes, I'm not sure it's something that other archivers try to do.

Also Web Components (custom elements, shadow DOM) support is definitely do-able and something for the pipeline. It's not something even the Internet Archive is capable of right now. Wayback Machine's youtube.com archive is blank.
You get phished, someone sells your info, the buyer empties your bank account over the phone.

It’s required but many people don’t do it. If you get into a situation where police stops you and you don’t have your ID on you, just tell them you forgot it at home or you didn’t take it with you because you just went out for short walk. Police should then drive you home where you show them your ID.
Ok, so what percentile are we talking about here? The top 30% ? Seems like the whole conversation is around where exactly to plant that flag.
There are a number of issues that contributed. Predominantly a lack of clarity on federal vs state power which stems from a combination unnecessarily high barriers to change (other countries tend to change their Constitutions rather frequently) and a lack of accountability (very long election cycles).

The patchwork nomic-style lawmaking that leads to eventual entrenched dysfunction and resistance to reform was assured. The US will not likely last half as long as Rome. We're 1 economic collapse away from fractionating into new aggregations.
It's another evidence that broadband is an utility like telephony or electricity
During my internship on automotive cost engineering, I quickly learned that motorized anything on a car costs and weighs leagues more than its mechanical-only cousin. I am curious why Model 3 went down the path of total motorization, when it is marketed as a more affordable car.

Would it be more costly or less costly for Tesla to have just one set of underlying mechanisms for all of their cars at all luxury levels, or have different sets of mechanisms depending on luxury level? The motorized mechanism could be adapted to all levels of luxury by simply changing the controls.

Except that this isn't a standard 1920x1080. As the article mentions, it's slightly taller than that, leaving 1920x1080 after space is reserved along the bottom for the control strip. So it's a custom panel pretending a standard virtual height.
I've been pondering your comment for about 5 minutes and I still how the flippin heck does Gamergate fit into a comment about an article on self-driving cars.

I think if the earth were to get destroyed (which is becoming more and more likely), an alien invasion would be the best way to get there.
Very interesting to read this from the other side of the pond (Android dev).

Android has a bit of a different architecture history : at first the framework team has built it as modular components (IIRC you were not even supposed to be able to subclass Application) with no recommandation on how to architect your app code outside of that.

It lead to MVC with all the business logic in massive activities .. at least for most companies.

We now have the same jungle of really abstracted patterns with some of them actively fighting against the framework by rewriting it. To be fair, parts of the framework like fragments have been a disappointment (and again to be fair Google is hard working at addressing this).

I just want the minimum amount of abstraction that gives me the advantages I want (separation of concerns, testability) and not rewrite everything from scratch.
Ya, so I think the big difference between Europe and the US is that you can open a lot of accounts online in the US so there is no opportunity to examine and copy a physical ID card. I can definitely see how that would raise the difficult of pretending to be someone else.
On the other hand, you can keep working at a publicly listed company and whenever you feel like leaving you can sell your shares on a liquid market at any time.

Whereas if your private company is bought out by another private company and a significant chunk of the compensation is in stock, the market is far less liquid.
Don't you guys routinely use ACH transfers to buy things, give out your bank info, and just hope everything goes well?
A key point is that it often takes inherited wealth to start a company early in life. In earlier eras, people tended to start up companies much later. After they'd had a career with a big company, they'd go off on their own.

Silicon Valley started that way. Look up the history of Fairchild Semiconductor and its successors. That's because they were doing something really hard technically, and they needed senior technical people to make it go.
The limits are primarily political, as there are other blockchains doing thousands of times more transactions.
You don’t really need a history. I.e. it’s very possible to get around just fine without credit card or loans. Most people I know in continental Europe just have debit cards and only buy things they have enough cash in their bank account to afford.

The only exception is mortgage which is usually the only loan people take their entire life. And it’s possible to get it without having a credit score. You’ll need your complete history of employment and addresses and based on that bank can borrow you money. Perhaps car leasing is another loan people might take but that works similar way.

Borrowing money to buy everything seems to be an American fetish (but also present in U.K. which is most America like part of Europe and Asia, not continental Europe though). It always seemed insane to me to have to borrow money from bank to buy a latte or groceries.
We've had mixed experiences with Instacart. At first we loved it. They literally have ONE job to do: make me not have to go to the grocery store.

But then we've had a couple of instances where they didn't pick the right food, or I rejected their replacement and they still sent it anyway, and I've had to go to the grocery store to fix the error, which defeats the entire purpose of Instacart.

At the same time, you feel like such an entitled ahole for complaining (even if you're not mad) that you asked for strawberry preserves and got raspberry preserves instead (or you ask for boneless chicken since it's easier to cut, but you get chicken with bones). I mean even typing it, I can't believe what a spoiled brat I sound like. But at the same time, this is the entire purpose of their service. If they can't get grocery shopping right, I just won't use them.

The other thing is, Instacart is aggressive about advertising its Express product but it's nearly impossible in all their copy writing to see what the actual price is. I had signed up for the trial but never actually found out what the price was (and it was "annual" which was even more scary), so I just never went ahead with it.
Indeed. Like having Edward Teller inform you something will go "bang."
> They weren’t even trying to hide it, the middle screen was basically a giant middle finger to the rest of the car-building world; a not-so-subtle “F-you” to the naysayers, the disbelievers, and the other car companies who insisted on playing it safe.

I don't know if I would call it that.

>I don’t think Tesla did this simply to be edgy, dangerous or different. They did this to prepare people for a world without drivers.

In a world without drivers, a handle to open up the glove compartment, physically-controlled air conditioning vents, and physical HVAC knobs still makes sense.

> Instead, the Model 3 has a 8:5 aspect ratio and a resolution of about 1920x1200px. ... suggests that Tesla made their center console for watching things, not for driving the car.

8:5 is 16:10. What I really think happened is that Tesla took the cheapest available off-the-shelf 16:10 LCDs. Because what the Model 3 really is is about cutting costs to get the cheapest electric car on the market, and ultimately I think that's what informs the Model 3's design the most. A cheap electric car is in itself a noble goal. I think that it's wishful thinking to think otherwise.

This seems to be kind of an ad for Figma. That's fine, but it's a poor ad. It suggests that Figma is a tool that embodies a myopic vision of UI design where only the screen matters.
It doesn't help with inventory loss, but these days I think I would try to run a non cash business - credit cards only.
No, let's say all.

Depending on the report you read, between one third and one half of americans couldn't come up with $2,000 in an emergency if they needed it. The cost of most goods could not rise or people would starve.

The stock market going up makes no difference to a majority of america.
My experience with JTAG (and it's been a little while since I've used it) is that the device clock must be stopped before you can read the instrumented flip-flops. This is because they're serialized together, meaning you shift them out of the device one at a time using a special JTAG clock signal. You can use JTAG to essentially get a view of the device's state at the moment you stop the clock, but if you keep the clock running you get a trashed device state as you shift the flop values through the serialized chain. (You can also shift values back in and restart the clock, but this may or may not work depending on how many flops you can access via the JTAG chain.)

In other words, I'm not sure how you can use this to modify running devices without being able to stop the clock first. Is this something that JTAG supports now?
Interesting commitment. Can I ask which URL didn't work for you, & which browser?

For me, when I disable JS in Chrome Dev Tools, the website still loads properly, incl homepage, forum index and discussion topics. (but one cannot leave comments, that still requires JS). I tested a bit in Lynx also.
In Europe credit cards are very rare so bank accounts are usually the target instead. In Europe it's also practical to send wire transfers online without going to a branch, unlike the US.

Getting your bank accounts emptied sucks much more than having someone open a credit card in your name.
Pretty much every restaurant owner I know is in the same situation - maybe not quite as bad - but generally they have at least one total nightmare horror story about a restaurant they owned that burned down/got shut down/went bankrupt.

I find similarities to being a founder in a super risky high tech startup - but with higher possible payoff.

Yet, I don't hear a chorus of bar backs, dish washers, servers, hosts and chefs complaining about not having a life outside of the restaurant or needing "work-life balance." What gives?
Sounds like a good business opportunity for you, setting up your own ISP. Go for it.
