I disagree with pretty much everything in this post.

I think what is reasonable to say is that while we are all created equal in the sense that we are human, that's far as as natural equality extends. Some of us are taller, shorter, we have different interests, etc.

So this begs the question, what is the role of government. Should government treat us all equally, in the sense that we are humans and thus rational beings? Or should government (a set of formalized rules and people who enforce them) attempt to equalize the playing field, and thus treat us all unequally? In your own example, by ensuring in your model safety for women, we must treat men differently from women, and therefore ensure that for women to be safer, men must be less free. IMHO government should treat us equal in the human sense, and no other.

On the obvious response that government and society are different, I would reply that government is at least in theory a set of formalized rules intended to reflect what the informal rules of society are. Therefore, while the match might not be 1:1, it's still quite relevant.

Here's a link to a discussion with FA Hayek, who describes this far more eloquently that I can:

The Canadian government routinely enters into contracts with foreign companies with the requirement that those companies create Canadian jobs while executing the work under that contract. These cover a diverse range of industries from defence (e.g. Boeing) through technology (e.g. Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft). In this respect, CanCon isn't philosophically inconsistent with the government's other policies. Those that support CanCon would say it's a defence of Canadian culture at an existential level.

It's not dissimilar to the U.S. requiring that Toyota build cars in Alabama if it wants to keep selling to Americans. These things happen under the most business friendly governments and are expected to increase in the U.S. under President Trump's desired new regulations of private sector trade.

Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon all have Canadian-specific offerings operated in Canada and backed by actual Canadian employees that would be analogous to CanCon productions such as X-Files. There seems to be a misconception that CanCon means pure 100% offerings from the CBC. But that's not the case at all.

For example, here's a good take on many Canadian actors who were part of X-Files while it filmed in Vancouver. Actors ranging from Cancer Man to the Lone Gunmen were all Canadian. https://etcanada.com/photos/119349/the-x-files-canadian-conn...
I dunno, I think a country benefits when it imports talented people, full stop. Americans can be intelligent and capable, and companies can still benefit from hiring more people just like them (or, in some cases, more intelligent and more capable than them).

Perhaps it'd make sense to be protectionist if there was a fixed pool of employment/business opportunities, but I don't think that's the case for technology workers at the moment--lots of room at the margin for talented people.

I am possibly biased, though. I was in the US on an H1B for a few years from 2008-2011, but left due to the immigration bullshit.
They can and they do. I talked to an Uber driver with a model s in Amsterdam. Leases it with his brother for about €1600 per month and still makes profit.
"The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate." - Satoshi Nakamoto

I must say, the drivers who use their Tesla as an Uber do a hell of a job of representing the company and making the brand accessible.

I am not fully ready to purchase a car and don’t want to deal with a sales pitch, but got a great overview of the S and X from two different drivers on trips. I got to touch and play with the car. I got real feedback from people who spend far more time in the car than I ever will. Both left me with a positive impression and, as a result, I’ll likely seriously consider a Tesla when I am ready to buy a vehicle.
I agree. It's the original source and more substantive to boot. We've changed the URL to that from https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-16/google-re.... Thanks! We always appreciate better URLs but I particularly appreciate it in this case, because the discussion was being skewed unnecessarily.
Almost all Tesla owners rarely supercharge.
Until 2016, Tesla vehicles were marketed and sold with "unlimited, free for life" supercharging, with "life" meaning the lifetime of the car.

Obviously Tesla can change change their terms however they like on new vehicles that they sell.

However, to now go and retroactively remove/restrict this benefit when pre-2016 vehicles are resold seems wrong.
-It would be technically possible, but probably not make much financial sense.

Each FM channel would still require as much power as if it was operated separately to give adequate coverage; so rolling [n] channels into one SDR exciter, you'd need a power amplifier with [n] times the output.

And that is only the beginning of your probl... eh, challenges. This monster amplifier would need to let go of one of FM's greatest advantages - the ability to use high-efficiency, non-linear amplifiers for the final output stage. Now that you have multiple carriers, you would need to ensure the amplifier operated very linearly (and, in practice, at much lower efficiency) to keep the various carriers from interfering with each other.

Also, you'd probably be unable to use the same antenna for all channels, unless they were very closely spaced - or were all meant to cover the exact same area - and then you would need to apply extensive, expensive filtering to separate the carriers before feeding them to different antennas. (Which would be much simpler and cheaper to do just after the SDR, since the signal there would be very low power - but then you could use separate power amplifiers and make it even easier on yourself. (At which point you might as well use separate exciters, too - and be back where we are today. :))
Some of us are lucky enough to live in cities where public-transport is both common-place and effective.

I've used Uber a couple of times in the UK, but only on a company-account. Here where I live there is a presence, but I've never used it personally, nor do I intend to. (Same goes for competitors.)
We changed the URL from https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-16/google-re.... Some of the comments below make less sense as a result, which is bad. But the blog post is well-written, substantive, and brings considerable clarity as the original source—which is what the site guidelines ask for. People should probably read both articles since the Bloomberg one adds follow-up info.

While I have you: if you're commenting here, please keep this guideline in mind too: Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

To be honest, I go straight to your CV's experience section. I don't care what you're into or what school you went to, I just want to know if you're able to do what we need you to do.
That’s only true in some areas (e.g. some biological fields). In other areas (e.g astronomy or much of physics), it’s decreasing order of contribution. In mathematics, the author list is usually alphabetical.
The style is lifted straight from mathematics tradition. It is a closed definition and so it would be syntax error to insert anything between the lines.

In Haskell you could always avoid that style and use the case syntax (or for this example guard syntax) instead. All varieties eventually desugar to a case analysis anyway.
Haskell even added curly braces as an alternate to indentation!
Yes, to be sure, but seeing the difference between PS3 and PS4 is a sea change. It doesn’t really run “beautifully” on a PS3...It runs on a PS3.

It functionally works as a different game. I watched an ex play through the whole game on PS3 (her choice) and there were many aspects of her playthrough that were not tied to her platform, but were hindered by being on the PS3
So for reasons unclear you tried to replace a working system with a design pattern you didn’t really understand, and you were disappointed with the results? What were you hoping to get from this madness?

Honestly, REST is a great idea. Yes, people get religious about HTTP verbs and URL structures. But you don’t need to. Prioritise clarity to humans above everything else, and you’ll be fine for the most part.
Tesla is also planning to roll out their own ridesharing platform[1], so it seems like they might have an interest in discouraging the use of their cars in competing taxi services, beyond just the economics of the supercharger stations.

I was just posturing on possible reasons for this insanity and that's the best I could come up with which is why I call this BS and completely unacceptable. If anyone had any doubts that this is a "libtard conspiracy" or whatever they say these days, then I outlined possible reasons to support this and then hopefully emphatically repudiated that.
Hehe OK I'm glad you 'enjoyed' that, glad I mentioned it. Yeah, the non-stop bragging and credentials-showing hehe. Oh you didn't get onto the 'good' parts of the women and chess one. Not sure which was 'best', the cringeingly sexist language or the incredibly inept experiment design...

It should not be a basic human urge to touch peoples thighs and buttocks without their consent. It has never occurred to me to touch someone sexually without their consent and I’m pretty sure I’m normal in that respect.
One mental gymnast of your choice is more convincing than another. To you. Big surprise.

If there was truly one well-learned scholar who demolished everyone else, religions wouldn't have these problems.

But all religious texts remain big books of multiple choice where any section can be declared literal or metaphoric or mean something totally different because "context", all on a whim of the "scholar".
Judging from the people I know who identify themselves with the “rationalism movement”, occasionally reading topical blog posts doesn’t inherently teach introspection (or even reasoning) any better than high school, though its adherents are pretty good at rattling off lists of logical fallacies and getting distracted by meta-arguments about which particular one applies in a given situation.

[Or by “rationalism movement” are you talking about, say, philosophy / sociology / anthropology / behavioral economics / history Ph.Ds or licensed psychiatrists? That would be something like the years of dedicated training I was talking about, though those fields have different modes of inquiry and different subjects of study, and some are surely better at reasoning / rhetoric / self reflection than others.]

Yours is one comment that made more sense before we changed the thread to point to its current URL (see my comment at top). The Bloomberg article doesn't make it as clear as the blog post does that, for example, assault was involved, or that the pattern was so persistent over time.

HN has hosted many previous threads about sexual harrassment and sexual assault in the tech industry, and most haven't had the quality you rightly object to.

And he's saying that this occurence should have no effect on this decision, not in any rational mind.
Great blog post. Maybe he will post another article about MGSV5 open world rendering, as it's one of the highlights of the Fox engine.

Anyway RAGE engine from Rockstar (GTA IV+V, RDR 1+2) is probably one of the most advanced engines, so much details in rendering.

http://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2015/11/02/gta-v-graphic...

A detailed comparison of open world game engines would be interesting with focus on LOD, streaming and rendering techniques.

* RAGE (GTA5/RDR2)
* AnvilNext (AC:O, GR:Widelands)
* Frostbite3 (NfS:Payback, SW:Battlefront2)
* Just Cause 3
* Watch Dogs 2
* Mafia 2/3
* Dunia (Far Cry 4/5)
* Decima (Horizon Zero Dawn)
* Fox (MGSV)
* REDengine (Witcher 3)
* Minecraft (Java + new C++ Bedrock ed)
* Genome (Elex)
* CryEngine/Lumberyard
* Unity
* Unreal 4 (PUBG)

It's impressive how such game engines provide seamless high speed travel with vehicles (cars, airplanes) in an open world environment.
The original Bloomberg article didn't make it so clear, but the blog post that's now linked to above describes a lot more than "the touching of a thigh".
Funny thing is that during the initial handshake with the supercharger, it doesn't even check if the VIN the car provides is a Tesla VIN. It's only used for logging purposes and it'll still provide charge anyway.

(You can test this by tapping into the CAN bus while the car is being plugged in. This was true at least a few months ago)
I have never touched someone’s thighs without their consent, much less while they are presenting their research at a conference. I’ve never even hugged without consent in a professional setting. I’m really not worried nor am I wondering when HR is going to ring me up.
The blog post now linked to above describes much more and much worse than a "leg touch".
Yes, you should.
Thx for your comment. It is indeed the same as long as you use the same OS as the one mentioned in the article.
Agreed. The value of seminal papers is in the research they enable... the obscure, uncited branches are the payoff.
Yes. A Silicon Valley friend of mine with a Tesla drove Uber for a while because he was between jobs ("camping") and was curious about Uber's business. He's not the only one. Also, I believe that Uber now counts Teslas as limos for the Uber Black service.

POST represents a non-idempotent operation. The other HTTP verbs (GET, PUT, PATCH etc) are idempotent. The awkwardness surrounding PUT/PATCH stems from the need to ensure that those requests remain idempotent.

Nothing bothers me more than an idempotent request (e.g. a search query) using POST. If you design your API starting with "what should happen if the client makes this request multiple times?", then it becomes much easier to model with HTTP.

HTTP 401 Unauthorized actually means Unauthenticated. 403 Forbidden actually means Unauthorized. Yeah, it is a bit of a mess but the referer header is misspelt so what can you do.
True. It's funny because looking back over 40 or 50 years, SV is a great example of how that happens. Best wishes for my Texas friends. I really liked Austin when I first visited in the late 90s. Visiting again last month, it was still rocking, but distinctly got the feeling that it's well on its way to the same kind of climate that's already pervasive in the valley.
Interesting indeed that they published this. Someone spent quite a bit of time making this; animated videos, interviews and it looks like multiple departments involved (research, marketing). Does seem like the current level anti-Facebook discussion in the press is worrying them enough to make this.
You should really use parity I think. Its chain will end up at ~9GiB and the traffic is minimal.
> Mining is still decentralised

Wait what, no.
I think getting arrested is only one way in which these consequences can occur. Remember, government is at least in theory a formalized reflection of social arrangements.

Think more about what it was like during McCarthyism. If you were accused of being Communist, you became an outcast. You would no longer get invitations to events. If you were applying for a job, it would suddenly be filled already. If you wanted to get coffee with a friend, they would suddenly be busy.

As a more recent example of this, look at what happened to Rachel Dolezal, the "trans-racial" woman who was born white and claimed she identifies as black. After the media fiasco, she couldn't get a job, and most recently I saw an article about her struggling to get by on food stamps, and about to be homeless. There was no government action against her, and yet, nobody would say she hasn't felt the consequences of what she did.

Note: I'm not suggesting that Dolezal and Communism are related, just using them as two separate examples to support the larger point.
How exactly? Whether they push out code to you by just changing the binary or by installing an extension makes no difference. In fact, pushing it out as an extension, means they actually have less control over your browser, because are bound to the restrictions that extensions have.

Every browser vendor has this control over you when you use their browser. Some have even more, because they don't even need to tell you about it when they're closed-source.

You manage both dismiss HATEOAS for lack of discoverability and then claim there's no automatically generateable client? If I claimed a WSDL was "discoverability for SOAP", would that make the purpose of HATEOAS clear?
Note that an unmodified Tesla allows you to draw 120 watts from the cigarette lighter, not 2,800 like the claim in the article. Which likely false. Fun article, I see you clicked on it.
I feel like this is the root of the author's agitation:

"I don’t care. Trees are recognized by their own fruits. What took me a few hours of coding and worked very robustly, with simple RPC, now takes weeks..."

He seems unhappy that REST doesn't work the way his familiar tool (RPC) does. I myself worked with middleware-messages-over-TCP systems for a decade before switching to web apis. I don't have this issue. And I personally don't follow the "holy specification", and REST works just fine for me.
But 'buying up used Teslas' is not some dodgy scheme, only to be considered by sketch operations. Buying used stuff is actually pretty common as a strategy for many businesses. It allows them to obtain things they need, but minimise capital costs.

In this (hypothetical) case it'd also be giving a saving on operating expenses, which would be attractive - but I can see why Tesla would be worried about their costs rising from the superchargers being used by taxis.

In general it seems fair not to allow businesses to abuse them since the pattern of use would be much more frequent and probably drawing more power. They're a perk for everyday drivers, not a way for Tesla to subsidise the operating costs of small businesses for free.

Yes, the people for whom edge provider censorship is a concern frequently do exactly that, and complain that regulatory intervention is necessary.

It's true that the people concerned about edge provider censorship and those concerned about access provider censorship are often different people.

> Except there's no single instance of such censorship I've heard so far happening before 2015

https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/1998-...

> and NN not being about censorship at all.

The prohibition against blocking, etc., any lawful content or applications found in both the 2010 and 2015 regs is exactly about censorship, whether or not it is ideological.
Sure, but that doesn't seem like it'd make it such a horrible thing to say.
I agree. They should be immediately closed. The problem with them is that crypto is a collision between tech and money. It, unfortunately, brings out the worst part of people wanting to get rich. I like yc because it isn't like that, but it just gets brigaded these days.

I would completely respect a complete ban of all crypto discussion on yc. I like the fact that it isn't that.

According to the wiki linked into the other answer

> The company is not claiming that you can't sell your programs. The licensing only matters when it comes to modifying the compiler itself.

which it makes sense. The language runtime is LGPL but the program you write is anything you want.

At http://clean.cs.ru.nl/download/Clean24/CleanLicenseCondition...

> Clean is available under a dual license. Users can choose which of these two licenses they wish to operate under:

> 1 The Simplified BSD License (see below) applies to the libraries, runtime system and examples, the LGPL the standard GNU Lesser General Open Source license (see below) to the rest. The libraries, runtime system and examples consist of the files in the following directories (including subdirectories of these directories):

> - Libraries and Examples (versions for Windows)

> - StdEnv, data and examples (versions for Linux and Mac OS X)

> - libraries, RuntimeSystem and CleanExamples (source code).

> 2 A commercial license (see below) that can be purchased. Information on that license can be obtained from [check the original document for name and email]

So, it should be ok as using any LGPL library on any proprietary program. I wonder if they are making any money from the commercial license or this confusion is only harming the language.
