If the car is unable to slow down in time, then it was driving too fast in the first place.

The solution for self driving cars is easy. Don't ever put yourself in a position where physics prevents you from breaking in time.

They can do this by driving conservatively and not doing dumb things like driving around a corner quickly.
The point was not to hide memory from programmers who "had a clue" if they went looking. During production, most programmers on the team would be focused on delivering features they were responsible for and fixing bugs. If they were doing perf or memory profiling it would mostly be focused on whatever feature they were implementing. Only a few people on the team, perhaps only the lead, would be looking at global memory usage / perf on a regular basis and even then they'd mostly be looking for regressions. If anyone did happen across this they'd probably go talk to the lead (there might even be a comment directing them to do so) and be let in on the 'secret'.

At the end of production coming up to release is when there'd be a wider focus on general perf / memory usage to get everything to fit for the final release build. In my anecdote above, the reason I happened to find an example of reserved memory was just that I happened to be the first person to go looking in the right place with the right tools, not due to any particular skill or experience on my part (I was pretty junior at the time, this would probably have been around 2004 towards the end of the PS2 / Xbox console generation).
That's great, and thanks, I had no idea about the implications of the oil light.
My thoughts exactly as how much confusion this causes. It has happened to me several times that I'm scanning the catalog for a movie that my graphic memory had previously located, just to end up frustrated at first for not being able to find it and angry after realizing Netflix simply decides to A/B test the artwork.

This is like having a vinyl music collection made up of hundreds of items where the covers change randomly. Please Netflix, stop doing this.
Fake reviews are usually positive. That is just advertising for Amazon which unlike normal advertising HIDES the fact that it is paid-for advertising. Amazon benefits when there is fake positive advertising about stuff sold through them.

Now it is possible that Amazon actually does a good job of stopping fake negative advertisement on its site. Good for them. What would stop them? I don't think there are any laws against putting more money into stopping fraud which does not benefit you than fraud which does.

But highest ratio is still less diversity. Only 50-50 is highest diversity, right?
What freedom are you talking about that has been lost?

There has always been a problem with the last-mile, layer-2 infrastructure but if you are talking about IP layer services and higher it seems like there is nothing preventing you from providing what ever service you can imagine.

IP transit is a bit difficult to compete in because of the layer-2 problem but providing higher level services is much easier now because you don't even have to build a data center, just deploy on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, etc.
Rather, it seems it has to be biological, but it's left to flourish most in wealthy countries.

The resistance to this gender essentialist conclusion is easy to understand, but it shouldn't change anything to true egalitarians. If someone's suitable for a job, hire them. Gender or race quotas are sexist and racist, by definition, and it's those policies that are endangered, not egalitarianism.

Im no safety nut, but welding? What type? I wouldnt let a full grown adult use one unsupervised without training. Depending on the form of welding one can do real damage very quickly. Not bumps and bruises. Im talking missing fingers and eyeballs. Or was this propane-powered soldering rather than melting steel?
FWIW, as someone who grew up in western India (but not Mumbai, another city/state), my personal experience is very similar to what the author described in the article.
Solution easy. If anything at all happens, hit the breaks.

Drive slowly and conservatively, and never ever be in a situation where physics would prevent the car from slowing down in time.
Do you think ants look up at us and say to themselves "We'll surely if they were highly intelligent they would contact the queen!"

The truth is, IF (big if) it is super advanced aliens, they would have more reason not to contact us. This notion that we deserve formal contact is whats absurd. What exactly would they have to gain that they couldn't glean from stealthy observation and even deception to keep us off thier track?

I wonder what the statistics for Instant Pot explosions are. Are those independently tracked in any way?

I've considered getting one of those, but have serious concerns about their safety.
Have you looked into any other DAG tech, besides IOTA? ByteBall and Raiblocks are excellent, functional and mature examples in my opinion that lack IOTA's downsides (likely because they are intended primarily for p2p payments, not IOTA's intended use case as m2m first, p2p second).

In full disclosure, I own a little bit of both. I first stumbled upon them after being disappointed with IOTA, and they deliver on a lot of what my initial expectations of IOTA were. I just want to be able to buy coffee with my crypto and not wait an hour for confirmation times!

Yep, I think the last time I looked at hdtracks, less than 20% of the songs I wanted were there, even without taking into account the asinine geoblocking going on there. Don't they also force you to use a pretty terrible download client?

And yes, I've grabbed discs from eBay and Discogs, but it takes up a lot of time. Then, if I get rid of the disc (or omg, sell it to the one person left who wants discs) am I still allowed to play it? I don't like dumping CDs in landfill.
armv7 and armv8 is just 64 bit, so I guess a corner case like openssl signs could benefit massively (lots of bigint) but normal workloads only marginally, while taking a massive hit on memory (don't want the 1 GiB model).

The ARM they tested at Cloudflare is also of course nothing like the mobile chip that powers the pine.

It's pretty normal for game assets to follow their own version of Parkinson's Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law and expand to fill the memory / performance budget available (usually at least +5-10%). That can be just a consequence of artists and designers trying to make the best game they can within the budget available to them and so isn't particularly a bad thing. That's why an experienced programmer building in a 'secret' extra buffer for use around ship became a thing.
This risks bricking the devices.
Absolutely. I agree with you. For the purposes of her article, I think it's more than enough. Most discussions about issues of diversity and similar "dangerous ideas" try to use statistics to back them up but often do use statistics terribly.

It's better in my opinion to be upfront about anecdotal data.
They do run at a lower pressure, FYI. Which means you don't get all the benefits of a pressure cooker, but I suspect that drops the explosion danger quite a bit too. The new one we got at work seems a bit touchier than my one at home, it wouldn't come up to pressure on a recipe I always do on my 2.5 year old one. I wonder if there were some problems experienced that they put in fixes for or if they were just being clever. It said "burn" which apparently it says if there isn't enough liquid in there. I added some extra and off it went, I was making chili and probably should have put the tomato paste in after the cook rather than before, it was pretty thick.
The FT lexicon says:

Paper money or coins of little or no intrinsic value in themselves and not convertible into gold or silver, but made legal tender by fiat (order) of the government. [1]

Fiat money is an intrinsically worthless object, such as paper money, that is deemed to be money by law.

----

I will say that when Japan agreed to accept payment of taxes, with Bitcoin, they deemed it to be money.

Probably I could find examples in the U.S. government prosecutions of criminals who used Bitcoin, that had government lawyers advancing arguments that treated Bitcoin as money, but, I don't have them to hand.
Unsupervised Machine Learning on a Hybrid Quantum Computer
I'd go with H5 based boards. A64 is targetted at tablets, while H5 is for OTT devices. That means, you'll get much better USB experience with H5. It also supposedly has ARM cores with less quirks than A64. I'm hapilly running a secondary desktop on H5 with no serious issues on mainline kernel + some patches. It runs non-stop with no stability issues. But I have a very good power supply and custom made cables, which matters a lot.
Waymo is capable of making these kinds of inferences, though I don't know if it can handle that specific case. From the safety report:

> Waymo’s planner can also think several steps
ahead. For example, if our software perceives that an adjacent lane ahead is closed due to construction,
and predicts that a cyclist in that lane will move over, our planner can make the decision to slow down or
make room for the cyclist well ahead of time.

All of these are NN violations, or related to it.

The goal of Comcast in violating NN is not just abstract violation of it, their goal is harming competition, and giving themselves an unfair advantage. The core of the problem is that besides owning the physical network, they are also media company. So their direct competitors are video services for instance.

Comcast try to raise the price of those services for users (and thus pushing them to use Comcast's own ones instead), by combining usage of data caps (which have no technical need and are purely fleecing / anti-competitive tool) in combination with zero rating, i.e. excluding their own services from data caps. Users have to pay extra to avoid data caps. That basically taxes users who prefer their competitors. Another method they use is interconnection starvation. That simply degrades the quality of competing services, again pushing users to use Comcast's ones.

NN is relevant here (in addition to regular anti-trust of course), because Comcast are giving preferential treatment to their own traffic, while punishing competitors with data caps and bad interconnection.

So, we established that Comcast clearly violate principles of NN, and can't be interested in the least in codifying proper NN law.
I'm genuinely curious why? When I sit down to watch a movie I'm usually pretty sure if I want something with explosions or something with jokes or something with feels, is that atypical? Do you want pitch perfect and the green mile in the same set of recommendations?
Apple 1 Operation Manual [pdf]
I've also had one for a while, coming up on 3 years. I went through a phase where we didn't use it much, but I'm back to using it at least weekly. It makes amazingly tender meats, in an hour instead of 3 like I would normally do for stew beef. I have a selection of easy meals do all the time. One thing I really like is that I can put chicken, veggies, and some rice in it, set it on 35 minutes, and when it's done I just stir and have shredded chicken. The meat just falls apart.
I'm surprised that you were not very enthusiastic about conferences with a "No Asshole Rule". Maybe it's possible to try multiple approaches at the same time? And that trying several different things is good?
An open-source menu bar app that updates cryptocurrency prices in real-time
I visited a location this week where there were 2-4 houses per mile along country roads. The residents had a choice of ISPs. The house I visited had dialtone from a VOIP service.

Yes, it costs money to build out last-mile infrastructure. But even in very low density areas, it can pay off. Recurring revenues of $50-100/month per customer can in fact pay for the initial investment. Especially if the investment was a wifi tower. It's the kind of thing one motivated local can pull off.

Building a worldwide network of peers who all respect NN is much much more difficult. Even if you could set up some organization like EFF to define some "Bill of Rights" and then certify conformant ISPs with a cool logo of approval, customers will not choose ISPs based on that logo. Average American consumers will not demand NN.

So your local ISP--even a well-intentioned one--will do as you suggest: "Simply purchase transit bandwidth from the big guys." There ends NN.
Unethical human experimentation was almost certainly pioneered by the first human civilizations, not the relative late comer from the 18th century.

Do you have any transaction hashes to prove claims of such a magnitude? Why did you use $2000 on a wallet in alpha testing despite being warned against doing such a thing?

> that resent transactions if you put the app in a background state

This is absolutely false. There is no resending in the background. As a developer who asked to work on the project AND had access to the repository, I'm surprised you don't know the difference between reattaching and resending. Without the transaction hashes to prove your loss of such a sum, your claims are considered fictitious.
This seems like a particularly evil variation of that idea:

Inside the Home of Instant Pot, a Kitchen Gadget Startup That Spawned a Religion
Do you think it was the bike, or your appearance? I'm a tall white guy living near a police station in Tokyo for over 2 years and I've never once been stopped by the police, but I also don't own a bike.
That’s not an accurate way to view this particular situation. I went to the store to look for a toy in a broad category (gender, age, price range). I saw this one that fulfilled my requirements, and I did a quick price check online just to compare, having little experience with this type of purchase. If I had been primarily shopping on amazon to begin with, I wouldn’t have even considered this toy due to it being out of my price range; and I would have gotten less value for the money spent. The point is more that Amazon can often have an unreasonable markup and people may not be fully cognizant of that. If they were, would their habits change?
Depending on the secrecy of an asset to retain its value and your ability to buy it sounds like a very fragile position to be in.
Is it a solved issue for equities? How do you know the shares you purchased are valid?

Investing actually achieves something.

When I make an investment in a company I'm providing capital that that company can use in various ways.

In return I become an (very small) owner of the company. I get a say in how it's run (voting rights), and I get a share of the profit (in dividends).

If you hold on to a stock like coca cola for 30 years, never looking at the stock price, and never sell, you'll actually make money.

Yes there's risk, coca cola could go out of business. But that's pretty unlikely, and if you're not willing to take that risk, consider using a diversification strategy. Buy some passively managed ETFs.

Even with the crisis, in the long run, you would've made money. Investing is not gambling, it's not a zero sum game and the fundamentals of it have some basis in reality.

Whatever is happening with Bitcoin right now makes no sense. Eventually things like this have to realign with reality.
Fake reviews are mostly 5 star, and people reading the reviews want confirmation of their purchase intent.

Amazon has an incentive in showing positive reviews first, as this makes a sale.

Look at an Amazon listing and the 5 star review is always shown first.

Not at this point for OP. These conflicts can also cause a lot of confusion
It seems like a bit of a stretch, but in theory - depending on the details of the radio, and the power being emitted by the neighbor's station - you might be able to get some audio from a "powered off" radio. Maybe it's doing something like what happens when a crystal radio[1] absorbs enough power inductively to generate its audio.

This is an extremely disingenuous argument.

First you point out that data caps have no technical need. Something else that isn't required technically: charging for service. Would you say that the fact they charge to use their services means they're anti competitive?

Zero rating was not included in the 2015 Order that was repealed - it was always legal.
I only buy things where I won't be unhappy about the price I bought them even if crypto prices decline by 80%. Mostly things with market caps under $20M. The lack of liquidity doesn't bother me. Either the technologies will get real world use and the tokens will get listed on major exchanges, or else they'll go out of business, just like any other tech startup.

Welcome to the horrors of capitalism.
Do you happen to know something similar that just targets LAN subnets?
The Trump tax cuts are reducing transfer payments from wealthy to the poor. As mentioned, poverty in America has been around for a long time. Obama was in office for 8 years, yet no report or article. This article is (effectively) about reducing the transfer payments to the poor.

The structural problems in the economy are caused by market failures such as rent-seeking and rent-seeking applied to property is a huge issue.

My point is that there are enormous transfer payments to the wealthy from poor, working class, middle- and upper-middle class - a regressive tax. Regressive taxes such as the rent-seeking should be reversed before worrying about the transfer payments from wealthy to poor.
Didn't Rognlie @ MIT show that almost all of the out-performance of wealth was due to real estate prices? Couldn't the solution to wealth inequality therefore be a radically different approach to building codes and land value taxes? And doesn't it follow that wealthy landlords in California massively benefiting from proposition 13 and decrying wealth inequality at the same time sit at the pinnacle of political and economic hypocrisy?
That is kind of what we do with property taxes. Taxes on the value of the property from year to year.
You could do that. It's not really zero risk though because the coin could drop in value. Usually (real) traders who find arbs on (real) exchanges will submit simultaneous bid/ask orders without holding the actual product. They can clear the trades later.
If the price goes up it should be because the technology has become part of the backbone of the Internet, not because people are promoting it on social media when there is zero volume.
When the battery is weak, fire alarms have a tendency to chirp in the middle of the night because lowered temperature affects the battery negatively.

I'm sure you were just making polite conversation but it's maybe not so great to follow two pointer hops to someone's personal details. People have many reasons for being sensitive about these things.

I've never thought about it before, but your comment made me realize that maybe the best thing is to feel free to mention what's in someone's HN profile but leave it at that. On the other hand, I broke that myself only this afternoon: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15947396. So I don't know.
> and given enough time, all ciphers can and will be broken

Not all ciphers... 3DES and GOST have no practical breaks after 40 years of cryptanalysis (all attacks have > 2^100 time or memory complexity)

Any secure modern 256 bit symmetric primitive is likely safe from large quantum computers.

What will continue to be be broken are encryption protocols and systems that misuse modern secure 256-bit primitives. So we will continue to see things like the BEAST attack because non-cryptographers continue to invent their own encryption protocols with alarming frequency.
This would all be true if we were all genetically identical. However psychometrics has proven and now cognitive genomics is confirming that valuable mental characteristics have very large genetic components.

Intelligence is the capacity to achieve your goals. Intelligence is highly heritable. A goal of most people is to become wealthy. So people who acquire wealth tend to be much more intelligent than average, as wealth is graded on a curve. Thus though there is regression to the mean, their children will be more intelligent than average, and so worth more as employees and more likely to succeed even if they were put up for adoption.

This has unfortunate class implications, but putting cotten in our ears is not going to help. We must separate the normative from the descriptive. This is horrible and unfair. But natural selection is heartless algorithm literally running on death and suffering. We should not expect it to distribute capacities in a manner that is aligned with the prescriptions of our flimsy ideologies.

Wealth distribution would not fix this.

But let us seize the high-IQ alleles and distribute them to the proletariat!

Such thoughts are verboten now, even as our tools for such interventions get ever sharper and assortative mating magnifies these differences to a point where it is getting difficult to ignore.
It's tempting to take the "abstract all the things" approach when you take a swing at board games. I started down that path, wanted the ability to implement any variation, and it was much more difficult to contain even if just focusing on the card-based "board game" genre.

I think if one truly took this approach to the logical end, they would end up creating their own specialized board game programming language.
Indeed ! On some deeply visceral level, I really want the underdogs to beat the US (yes, I know the rulers of said places are not exactly 'nice' folk.)
