For cyclists, roundabouts aren't that much better unless we're given separate lanes.

Motorists still tend to blow through roundabouts at speed if they can't see anything coming. From personal experience you can easily navigate a roundabout at 35+ mph.
The article mentions a yield sign, right? I don't think that's enough. There needs to at least be a stop sign. Given the severity of the accidents, I don't think it's unreasonable to just go all out, especially if it really is a rural road with minimal traffic.

A lot of the cars on the road right now are ten years old or older. Even if self driving cars became a thing that anybody can afford right now it would take longer than ten years before nobody had to drive themselves.

> Age and veteran status are pretty much static?

No, age and veteran status change over time. It's true that in the direction they are legally protected, they are mostly one-way gates into protected status (you can become a veteran or a person over 40, but you don't normally exit either status; it's theoretically possible with veterans status, but extremely rare.)

Physical and mental disability, citizenship status, are also protected and non-static.

In California law, marital status, medical conditions, HIV/AIDS status, and status as a domestic violence or stalking victim are also non-static and protected.

Having lived near a very similar intersection, also with frequent accidents (it has a 2-way stop with heavy 50-70 mph cross-traffic and frequent left turns, depending on the time of day), cost may be a significant portion of the reason; a neighborhood campaign to replace the 2-way stop with a traffic light fell through due to a >$1 million price tag for adding a light to a countryside road, and it's doubtful a roundabout would cost less.

It's just a way to finance a start-up. Sure most ICO's are scams, but surely there are a few gems. The way I see it, it's a way for a common man to become an angel investor. And just like with angel investing, most start-ups fail. But you could get lucky. Of course one should always do some research before investing. Figure out the history of the team members, check the source code commits if available, believe the use-case adds some real value, etc…

If I would join an ICO I would probably not spend more than a few hundreds of dollars on it. Something I wouldn't worry about losing.

‘In gevangenis nog makkelijker aan drugs te komen dan in verslavingskliniek’
It’s not difficult to build credit in the U.S. without resorting to maintaining debt, nor accepting unnecessary loans. The credit scoring models in place strongly favor many open, revolving accounts, but also favor the continual paying off of those accounts and maintaining zero balances on the majority of one’s revolving accounts. The scoring models favor low utilization of large amounts of available credit — that the credit in question needs to be in the form of a loan or a fixed line is false.

It’s accurate to say that the U.S. operates on credit moreso than it does on cash, but the rating methods genuinely favor those who have the means to manage credit wisely and pay off revolving balances in full, which is antithetical to the notion of societal “regressions”.
I'd guess that "wore" should be printed as "were". And further that it's intended to be a figurative use of the word meant to convey that he disliked people who were stiff or formal, like a crinoline. Disliking women has nothing to do with it.
Same here, as a tall-ish person who likes to sit fairly straight up in the driver's seat, the rear-view mirror obscures my vision much more than the a-pillar.

I wonder if this will end with Intel selling a lot of new chips, or Intel having to issue massive recalls. I doubt Intel will be able to be able to get away with discount/trade-ins without some serious legal complications.

I doubt we'll see entire data centers move to AMD as that would get stupid expensive. For the short term, we might see data centers order extra AMD blades and changing their provisioning systems to pin high IO tasks to those machines. And that's for people who co-locate or host their own stuff.

I'm interested to see how this affects Infrastructure providers who abstract a lot of that away, like AWS, DigitalOcean, Rackspace and others.

They might even be working on analysis and auto-migration to move high IO nodes to higher performance machines transparently. It will be interesting to see what hosting providers start blogging about in the next few weeks.
I have a Honda Fit and I find the exact same problem when I’m driving in areas with a lot of pedestrians, especially San Francisco. The pillar is especially wide in the Fit and I’ve almost hit several pedestrians because their walking speed exactly coincides with the speed of my car and they get blocked by the exact same pillar so I never see them.

It has happened about 6 times so now whenever I drive in areas with pedestrians I move my head right in the middle of the car so that my view is no longer obstructed.
This post is timely as I've been working on a draft for an AskHN last ditch post I intend to make soon to see if anyone has a plan or idea I have not already heard of for someone with so many limits to earn and survive.

You can email me. I have a serious medical condition and have gradually gotten healthier, created a flexible income and paid down debt. I may be able to point you in the right direction.
How common is the Linux segfault problem on Ryzen now? Just reading about the horrible RMA procedure puts me off AMD unless they can clean up their terrible handling of this problem.
>>> Before anyone says "but OpenBSD broke an embargo before", this is a different project and besides having BSD in the name don't see why they were excluded.

AFAIK they all share the same brand name BSD and they are all closely affiliated.
Not all listed processors got an update. If you look at SandyBridge E, the associated microcode is still from 2013.
I believe the one from my link is lost between reboots.

Windows does not seem to deliver microcode fixes except for the Surface.
If you use GDAX (the underlying exchange technology behind Coinbase and also owned by Coinbase) as a maker (meaning you use a limit order), you pay 0% fees. If you use GDAX as a taker (market order), you pay 0.25% fees.
In this situation it's fairly irrelevant, as it would serve to slow down drivers approaching and within the intersection - a few mph faster afterwards is far less likely to come with a butcher's bill than continued high-speed crossings of the intersection.
I wouldn't be so quick to say that.

it's the cumulatively package including all microcodes. Thus it applies to the listed CPUs.

Without having a look, you cannot say which one got an update and which CPU didn't.
I agree. A roundabout is also a much better than solution presented in the article, whereby traffic would have to turn across oncoming traffic in order to continue on their original track.
This is exactly the case, while building out our mobile marketing strategies for higher end luxury brands, iPhone/Apple users have a much higher average HHI across the networks and are often worth the "premium" rates.

NBCu getting a hold of the Apple inventory was one of the smartest things they have done to offset consumer viewing habits (within key demographics) shifting away from linear towards OTT and Mobile devices.
For low volume intersections, roundabouts are great at avoiding accidents.

The silliest thing ever is to treat obvious hyperbole as if it is a precise, literal assertion.
"From personal experience you can easily navigate a roundabout at 35+ mph."

If a roundabout is small enough, you can't. I have seen many small roundabouts throughout Europe that you cannot navigate without swerving faster than 20-30 km/h (which is assumed safe speed for pedestrian).

GPS was one of the very first widespread applications of digital signal processing. The more you learn about its inner workings, the more impressed you'll probably be that they came up with it in the 1970s. Parkinson is definitely a worthy recipient of the medal.

As a technical feat, it's somewhat reminiscent of the compatible NTSC color TV standard that emerged in the early 1950s. These people did stuff they simply should not have been able to do with the technology of the day.
The math is wrong. It ignores binocular vision and normal head motion.
That's not what the maker/taker distinction means—a taker is an order to the extent it is filled because it matches a pre-existing order when it hits the sysyem; a limit order can be a taker if there's a matching order on the book when it hits the system. GDAX supports marking a limit order as “Post Only”, which cancels it if any part would fill as a taker order, but that's optional.

> I wonder which country don't censor movies?

Almost all democracies. I'm sure someone can point to a little "censorship" (e.g., children can't watch porn), but that's not the same thing at all - just like a cough isn't the same as lung cancer. When Disney released a film that was complementary of the Dalai Lama, the Chinese government banned all Disney movies - that's censorship.

The claim that 'everybody does it' is an old ploy for dictatorships.
I don't think so. Art Garfunkel sings about wearing it;

Clothed in crinoline,
Of smoky burgundy,

I thinks it's more a case of bad "marketing" from project zero. Had the stuck with a single name "spectre" (with 3 variants) then the media would have had a story that's much easier to understand and repeat/sell. When it's a case of "x affects a" and "y affects a, b and c" then the story gets to confusing for them and their readers.
> This is only Spectre, not Meltdown. Meltdown requires KPTI, which depends on your OS.

Why is that? In theory, on a generic CPU, the microcode changes to stop Meltdown are drastically simpler than the mitigations for Spectre. Are Intel chips incapable of implementing them?
A nice discussion of the extension of the linear transformation matrix. The classic example and use case of this is 3D transformations that include Translation (as well as the linear shear, scale, rotate, and reflect).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_matrix

I vaguely remember that the Minkowski space can also be written as an affine, but not particularly how or why, since it should be translation independent? It seemed that the raising/lowering tensor notation is always used.
In the U.S., participation with these agencies is entirely optional. My understanding is that they offer access to government locales, equipment, and consultants in exchange for a positive portrayal. This would seem to me a fair trade, and one which the audience is able to perceive and assess.

In China and similar countries, good luck portraying the army in a negative light, whether you ask for their cooperation or not.
Very nice tribute.

There was another piece* posted to HN today about how psychologically traumatic and life altering it can be to kill someone accidentally under circumstances where you couldn't have predicted it nor prevented it. Veterans are often deeply scarred by their wartime experiences and may not share them in order to protect other people from the horrors of war.

My father fought in both WW2 and Vietnam. He died in his late 80s. Only after his death did it occur to me that he told humorous stories about Vietnam, but never spoke of WW2. I infer that if Vietnam was joke worthy in his eyes, WW2 was unspeakable.

I wish we had a better track record for helping veterans with the mental health issues that so often grow out of serving their country.

Interestingly, there is a flashing red/yellow light there (similar to [1]) and plenty of houses/powerlines, so it shouldn't be the power costs.

To be clear, my mentioning of dense urban cores was only because they make public transit more practical. Many dense urban cores in America don't choose public transit.

You may be correct about the authors intent; I maybe should have attached this to one of the threads where fathers talk about their vigilance in protecting their young, but I usually avoid talking directly about children and how they should be raised, because being someone who doesn't have or want children, my words often sound more offensive than I intend.

No. He's implying that reading books doesn't equate to being able to put that knowledge to practice.

While I don't entirely agree with this assumption, if you are in business it's probably a "safer" assumption to make.
I don't have to imagine it, we managed fine.

This is perhaps the most insidious thing that Google et al have achieved: making so many believe that they and the online ads they peddle are essential for anything. The world will continue to exist without both.

So this boils down to either mental sanity or some kind of Amish life.

I’ve personally rarely encountered issues with yielding. Four-way stops are another issue, and any driver in the U.S. has probably encountered them, but they’re solveable issues with basic driver courtesy. They assume basic understanding and cognizance to prevent incidents, but nothing more is strictly required.

The greatest number of accidents I’ve seen have been at stop lights rather than stop signs, weirdly. Driver apprehension and cautiousness at four-way stops may actually prevent more incidents than other systems.
Aren't page size and page speed (and energy consumption) correlated? If you request a 1mb page and a 1kb page from the same server, the 1kb one will load faster in basically all scenarios

If you can test speed close to the requester geographically, it's possibly an even better indicator of energy usage because it also implies the data doesn't have to travel as far.

Also, Google has no idea what external resources your browser has cached locally.
There are a lot of dollars taken besides Google and Facebook.

As a motorist, the 4-way stop is the most disruptive and maddeningly inefficient traffic control device in the municipality's tool chest. How much fuel and how many brake pads are consumed because towns just default to this kind of intersection. There are many better options (as others have listed in this thread) for almost all traffic situations. Always reaching for the 4-way stop is lazy and irritates motorists.
Now you've got me curious :) Could you give some examples?

You did not get what static means in the context (or maybe why it was a bad choice of word) : the interesting particularity of a "static" trait is that it is not possible to will yourself out of it even if you really want to.

Of course your age change, and a veteran once was not ; but try to get younger if you want? nope. Un-AIDS yourself by the force of will? nope

If you have no control over it, that is very static, even if next year you'll be one year older.

But one can decide not to be a nazi anymore, or a cult believer, at anytime. That's where the fundamental difference resides. And these different things should be treated differently.

A real problem for me is to have mere opinions protected from critics on the ground of fighting discrimination. It should always be possible to say to someone that what they believe is wrong or simply absurd.
What does implementing the cpu with logic gates entail? Does the compiler run on top of that metal you build? I’ve been thinking about how best to start from the bottom and I was thinking of getting a cheap fpga to build a cpu and compiler on. How does this course compare?

> You and your adviser picked your thesis topic because it’s an interesting technical problem with good opportunities to publish, not because it has a large opportunity for impact in an underserved market with few barriers to entry.

This is obvious, yet an easy mistake. Behind it is applying the same values to a business as to a PhD - not only in topic selection, but also in execution. It's related to the conundrum that solving a problem that real people have now does not always require a technically great soluton.
Even a revolutionary business does not necessarily require a technically great solution.

Academic success requires academic values and skills; business success requires business values and skills.

Of course, if you want to create a technologically revolutionary business, you'll need both.
Cool. Now's a good time to remind everyone that Caddy became popular as a fully open source web server and now charges for commercial use of its binary. https://caddyserver.com/products/licenses However, there's little technically in place to prevent people from using the free version for commercial products. The result of this is that there's probably a bunch of people who downloaded Caddy when it was free for commercial use, who probably just upgraded it, and are now violating the license. A sticky situation. Better to just use nginx or apache (actually apache compares favorably to nginx when it's used properly) until another thing like caddy comes along that's free.

Ironically it's quite a similar tax to $10 SSL certificates, only it's a higher upfront cost, of $25. If people were willing to pay $25 for every HTTP server, HTTPS everywhere could have started growing quickly without LetsEncrypt.

"How rare is it to find a new problem domain these days? Most if not all problems tackled with deep learning have already been done in one form or the other."

Curious if anyone's done this: deep learning on DOM trees, to recognize portions of HTML pages. This has elements in common with both CNNs (where you want surrounding context - parents, ancestors, siblings, and descendants - to influence the recognition of a particular DOM element) and with RNNs (because elements may have an unbounded number of children, and potentially a recurring substructure), but I don't know offhand how you would combine them to solve the problem.

Anyone working on this? A quick literature search turned up nothing.
