Agreed. There were 391,000 distracted driving injuries in the US in 2015 [1]. Experiencing some fender benders is worth it, if we can decimate the number of injuries. Let's make this transition asap.

Personally, I'd stay away from work relationships because if they sour, then you're stuck working with someone you may not get along with... But that's my personal PoV.

I don't see why I'd impose my preference on others, when coworkers hooking up is as natural as coed students hooking up in university. The one thing id agree upon is people needing to be behaved, and if they can't, ie, engage in harassment, then we should have strong structures to handle those cases.
Wow ”hundreds of millions of new containers started each week” these are pretty insane numbers. Insane in a very cool and mindnumbing way that is!
So it's a redundant fail safe then? Why remove a failsafe?
It would replace a single vehicle with dozens, if not hundreds of drones, all traveling longer distances than that single vehicle.
Which schools are you looking at, anecdotally? Ivies work differently than most other schools by virtue of having larger-than-normal coffers.

For example, Harvard's financial aid works in much the way I describe. Families with incomes below 65K pay nothing, those with incomes 65-150K are "expected to pay between 0 and 10% of annual income", and those above that are evaluated on a case by case basis.

I'd play around with this[1], and see what you think. For a family of 4 with no liquid assets, you need to be making 265K a year to not get any aid. That puts you solidly out of the middle class anywhere except SV/NY, where I expect you could make an argument about CoL adjustments.

The proud tradition that drove them to bankruptcy not too long ago?
I think you have that backwards.

Bureaucracy and public safety are mis-aligned to the point where a service relying on bureaucracy with a direct impact on public safety is going to be an uphill battle.

It also comes with some very interesting liability issues, such as: if the input data to that service is faulty and you then broadcast it to a bunch of AVs which react to it leading to an accident where would you assign blame?

Fargate isolation is at the cluster level. Apps running in the same cluster may share the underlying infrastructure, apps running in different clusters won't.
People weren't upset about windows installing security updates. If this update adds nagware to OSX or forces people to restart their computer in the middle of whatever they are working on, your comment will be a fair point. Until then, it is an stupid comparison.
It does not all come out in the wash. The things you build operate on a global stage, and produce value at an astronomical rate. The value of your work has no relationship whatever to your cost of living expenses, compensation is only pinned to that because if it were actually based on your productivity or the value of their work then when your value doubles you might ask for a 5% raise or something insane like that. It was decided early in the tech industries career that those improvements in value belong only to the executive class. Early wage-fixing, despite being prosecuted and convicted in court years later, set the stage for the whole industry across the world.

I'm using web3 1.0.0-beta.26, ganache-cli 6.0.3

I instantiate the web3 object as such:

When I try to setup an event listener, console logs this:

If the data you hold as a business is so valuable that the insurable risk of loss is too expensive for your business, then ask, "do we really need to hold that data?" If your business needs to pass that on to consumers because you can't afford the hit to your margins, then consumers need to ask, "is [service/product] really worth that much to me?"

The downside is that the most critical components of information which tie to identity itself, are the ones that businesses most commonly need to hold to verify identity. More challenging is that without a way to modify identity data (i.e. change your SSN), the insurable risk is huge because it needs to include a discounted cost of identity monitoring forever, and the cost of the individual losses that someone might encounter for the loss of that data. Then of course, if a person's identity is compromised more than once, how do you discount the responsibility across multiple careless parties?

IMO it all comes down to never using immutable information (Name, DOB, etc) to firmly define identity online. That information should be for display purposes only. At the backend, we need an identity that is tolerant of change, and can easily be updated if it is ever lost. In reality this will probably mean that instead of an ID, we have ID probability, which would include photos, addresses, ID numbers, Credit card account access, and companies that needed to verify it would be able to evaluate how certain they were the identity was real, and to insure against mishandling of the individual components of information.

t2's are great until something happens and you really need the full CPU, then you get throttled and suddenly your service goes down because it can't keep up with the load.

If you use t2's for anything important, keep an eye on the CPU credit balance.

It's just a tempting, low-hanging way for HNers to feel superior to others.

"I bet all these idiots cannot tell the difference between real friends and the Facebook friend counter like I can. ;) BTW I've deleted my Facebook because I had a crippling addiction to it."
Sure it's interesting. It's the same vulnerability, though, and so clearly the same story by HN's standard. Our test for that tends to be rather coarse-grained because there are so few slots on the front page.

One indication of dupiness is whether the comments are different across the two threads. In the present case we've got comments about software quality at Apple, responsible disclosure, and so on, that are very much the same as the comments in the other thread. So it's really the original discussion spilling over.

For cases like this the best thing is to keep the auxiliary story as a link from the main thread. People will find it that way.

That's pretty big. A couple years ago people were very skeptical that the big players would ever start dabbling in Bitcoin.

Serious question: how do you feel about currency futures?

If you feel differently about them than you do Bitcoin futures? Why?
I can't reproduce it on El Capitan. Doesn't prove others can't, but I'm pretty sure Apple would patch it on El Capitan too if the bug was that old - they issued other security patches less than a month ago.

True, but imagine if these drones handled food/grocery/retail delivery, the amount of cars on the road would drop immensely. As long as the tradeoff is 1 car -> 1 drone.
You can do much more with your phone's camera. I think a better use case would have been an SDK for Android/iOS. There are several open source libraries that you do a lot more interesting that simple object recognition.

This thread is full of victim blaming.

The simple, completely obvious, counter-argument to this is that if it were that easy, every person would do it. There would be no obese people. Virtually no-one wants to be fat.

Instead the problem is getting worse. Telling people to eat less and move more is simply not working.

It might be possible in code to hide it on your own instance, but it'll still be there in the various Mastodon clients, other instances, etc. Without knowing the codebase (but having used the software) it looks like it'd be a major core change to turn it off completely, or change it to something like a private bookmark function.
I'm shocked. Call out the rear guard.
Just for a data point;

We have been serving around 10 million web requests / day per t2.medium. Not lightweight static files or small json responses, actual dynamic pages with database load. Our servers mostly sit around 20% though.

Might not be that much compared to larger web services but we have a localised audience so nighttime cpu credits get collected and used during peak times. So it fits our workload. They are great value when the credit system work in your setting.

Have a grafana dashboard constantly monitoring credits and have alerts in place though. But haven’t had a sudden issue that we needed to manually remedy.
Google Finance got a complete redesign
No, they won't be much quieter. The noise is a function of the shape of the propellors, their diameter and the speed of the air flowing through them. The typical drone blade has to run at 7K rpm in order to just hover the drone, 12K and up to maneuver. That's very much in the audible range and the speed with which the air flows through and the fact that the air flows downwards through them pretty much guarantees a very loud presence.

A couple of these at all times and you'll be ready to start target practice.
And it's horrible. At my alma mater this person was in charge of helping kids who were finishing their degrees find gainful employment. Some kids who came from poverty, were getting the first degree in their family, and finally they had a shot at an upper middle class lifestyle. And they're supposed to get advice from some schlub whose entire resume is "B.A., [Liberal Arts School You've Never Heard Of]" then "Career Services Officer, [Same School]"? I think of the ridiculous advice he gave me ("GPA is incredibly important for your resume even 20 years after you graduate" and "Put hobbies and interests on your resume that show you're a well rounded person!") and shudder to think of the nonsense he was telling people who didn't know any better.
Really? Wow.

Even when the safety issues are resolved to the point where self-driving cars are at least as safe as humans in construction zones, they may be less safe than the same cars are elsewhere, and it may be a benefit to safety both to use self driving cars without an advance notice system and to use advance notice when available.

OTOH, even if it becomes a safety non-issue, advance knowledge of construction, 911 responses in progress, and other events on the potential routes can be useful to route planning in computer navigation systems whether or not they are used in self-driving vehicles.

My guess is that this is probably pretty meaningless.

There are a few things going against them.

- The CBOE and CME are both much larger futures exchanges and are going to be offering futures first

- since you can't net out futures contracts from different exchanges this means they tend to become winner take all

> One way Nasdaq seeks to differentiate itself seems to be in the amount of data it uses for pricing the digital currency contracts. VanEck Associates Corp., which recently withdrew plans for a bitcoin exchange-traded fund, will supply the data used to price the contracts, pulling figures from more than 50 sources, according to the person.

This might be interesting as one of the things that everyone is worried about is price manipulation.

If you haven't thought about how futures work with respect to margin and marking at the end of the trading day you need to know that you can be required to deposit more money into your margin account if the futures trade moves against you on any given day.

This means the marking price is very important and lost of institutional money is worried that the exchanges are easy to manipulate.

see: http://openmarkets.cmegroup.com/3785/understanding-margin-ch...

> Nasdaq’s product will reinvest proceeds from the spin-off back into the original bitcoin in a way meant to make the process more seamless for traders, the person said.

This is awesome,, right now the CBOE and CME both have punted on the question of forks saying, they'll have a best efforts to figure it out.
Hopefully it's not cash settled like the CME. That is the worst idea ever, and will probably cause a lot of people to get screwed over by market manipulation. Especially since the CME is basing the cash settlement price on a single exchange: GDAX. Anyone can go to GDAX and crash or spike the price for one minute at 4:00pm any day and trigger a bunch of margin calls on the CME.

Especially considering how easy it is to make a bitcoin transaction (compared to things like wheat, or oil...) it really should be "bitcoin settled".
Excuse me but I'm just citing an article that quotes a bunch of CEOs about what they would do with that tax cut.

I suppose they could also retain those profits and expand. But they didn't say that. They said they'd forward those profits to their investors. Not sure where you get a myth out of that.
Yet I wonder how much the ride quality will matter. If anyone can operate a ride service at scale that's significantly cheaper than Uber (without drivers to pay) and with a better safety record than most human drivers, I see these quirks being quickly overlooked. Like many bleeding edge innovations, early adopters and young adults will lead the way as it will make sense for many of them to go without owning a car.

Also, when such a service launches more widely, most of the miles will probably be driven on highways, which will probably be far less prone to surprises like jaywalking pedestrians.
Hi, here are some modern resources.

First, what's the problem? http://www.cap-lore.com/CapTheory/ConfusedDeputy.html

What are capabilities? http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/what-are-capabilities/

Yes, capabilities are abstract and simple. Don't worry if you don't get it at first.
You are right to point out the extent of how corrupt our political system is. It's understandable that you've become cynical after all this. But I hope your cynicism doesn't discourage you from trying to make things better. The corruption is allowed to exist because so many people, who should be outraged, simply throw up their hands and say that nothing can be changed.

Troy is doing what he can to make a difference. We shouldn't have unrealistic expectations of what this can accomplish. But we should applaud the effort.

We can force companies and governments to change their approach to security. But we need to start talking about these issues outside of HN. We need to get organized. We need to force change in our own companies.
Think about it like this: those salaries are what it takes to recruit people like you into the worlds most expensive real estate market, in a high tax state. Like you say, it's often a wash after those factors.
I disagree. Aggregate behavior that can be manipulated by advertising scales very very well, while attention does not. It is impossible give literally every interaction with a corporation the attention necessary to truly divine whether it is the "best" solution for you. As a result, shortcuts are required, and those shortcuts are exactly what the companies are spending billions to hit. It also works INCREDIBLY well, otherwise by the very theories behind the "Free Market", nobody would be doing it at such a scale
good luck trying to get rid of it.

no worries. I appreciate the visibility even if the timing is bad. i should have been aware of the bug, and i should have had a note on the site while i fixed it (I do now). It's nice to have found that others find the idea valuable. Also confirms that i need to finish the rewrite because easy install is one of the most important things to me, and this app is failing on that, despite my repeated attempts to beat that install script into submission and work on multiple platforms. So, it's good in the end. thanks.
There was a thread about this on HN -- too lazy to look it up now or repeat some of the longer comments about it. But going into this assuming that FB has no ill-intentions, FB's proposal seems by far the best solution in a world of ugly and terrible solutions.

For starters, it's intended for victims of revenge porn, which is a fairly extreme category and one in which the harassment is distinctively aggressive and virulent. Because if it weren't, the way FB deals with abusive content generally would seem to be good enough. If you come into this thinking that FB is asking everyone to upload their nudes for "safekeeping", then you've missed the point.

Secondly, it's hard to think of an implementation that wouldn't create a potential disaster that justifies doing anything special for revenge porn victims. Using the Facebook app is the most secure channel for sending FB the photos because it is a secure app that all FB users know how to use. Having the user hash on their own requires either an external app or website.

I don't think it needs to be said how such ancillary applications can be spoofed. Even if only 0.5% of users are dumb enough to fall for these spoofs, each incident would be a complete fucking disaster, for the victims and for Facebook.

As for the prospect of FB owning people's nudes. Again, in the case of revenge porn victims, the horse is already far from the barn. If we assign the worst of motives to FB, that it's a way to secretly collect nudes from users. Again, horse, barn. This secret process would be less efficient by magnitudes compared to what FB can already do today.
