I don't know if you read the article at all, but the governors of NY and NJ had an agreement with the Obama admin to jointly fund just one tunnel (total cost $30B) and Trump pulled the rug out from under them. Building tunnels under a river isn't simple.
Entry level worker who is not valued the fluctuating livable wage level; where they do not have basic work skills. In San Fransciso, a livable wage might be around $50,000 ($12k for housing, 20k for all taxes, $8k for food and other housing necessities, and 10k for savings, clothes, or insurance); this basically means an hourly wage of $25/hr. As an entry level job this is not a good option for employers and thus why they turn to automation, they know the robots skill and value, but estimating if an entry person can meet these skills is nigh impossible.

The other end is that someone is able to underbid you for your time. Which means you can believe you are worth $25/hr, but get no jobs because Jim Burnett will do it for $24 or someone in a lower livable wage area will do it for $5. In this case, you will have no work based on your theory.

Howdy folks. I worked a wee bit on this and am happy to answer questions if you have them.
Yup. Here's an article from 2009 https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/07/090731-gree...

In a large majority of the remaining cases it is the cyclists who is at fault. There are a few cases where a pedestrian causes a cyclist death, but they are rare. The list includes those cyclists who are run over by a train, for instance, but we don't really expect trains to swerve to avoid cyclists, and such a collision is the cyclist's fault.

I don't necessarily say that requiring a license from cyclists is what I want. However, I do think that some training and education of cyclists would certainly help. I also see some cyclists who have clear attitude problems. So retraining - or perhaps re-orienting - everyone would help.
Yeah it's unfortunate. It started I guess with TV makers implementing processing to fix problems with broadcasts before digital came around, and then just got progressively worse over time as the makers try to out-do each other with features that "improve" picture quality.

What's worse, at this point people are so accustomed to the soap opera effect of these features that when they are turned off they think something is wrong. Try it at a friend's or relative's house – change their settings to turn off motion interpolation and noise removal and such, and I'm sure most will start thinking something's wrong with their set. It's sad.
My favorite version of self-checkout is the ScanIt program that the grocery chain Stop & Shop offers.
Using my smartphone, I can scan barcodes of items I put in my cart as I shop. At the self-checkout, I simply scan a QR code from my phone to load all my scanned items into the register. Any additional items like produce can be weighed and added at checkout, or I can use a barcode-printing scale while I shop. Then I simply scan any coupons and swipe my card to pay.

This means I can sort and bag my groceries into reusable bags as I shop, with no need to first put everything in my cart and then remove it all at checkout only to put it back in my cart again. I just grab and scan what I need, then pay and walk out. Employees will randomly check a sample of my cart once in a while (I've been checked maybe three times in a year) to make sure I'm not hiding anything I haven't paid for.

It's a fantastic system and has made my grocery trips hugely more time-efficient.
I don't believe this is accurate. Do you have a source?
Yeah, "local" is a huge add market in aggregate so there is healthy competition in places.

But you've got to produce before you can consume and you've got to deliver to the consumer. AV1's licensing reduces costs and AV1's lower bitrate delivers better picture quality earlier with less bandwidth.

The choice isn't AV1 or users. It's AV1 and users.
> What about the shared hosting providers that are "affected" that decide to do nothing to "fix" this?

The problem is that I can upload a self signed certificate on a shared host for a domain I don't own.

This, in and for itself, should not be a problem. I did nothing wrong, and the shared host did nothing wrong as well: it only allowed me to upload a self signed cert for an inexistent domain. IMHO, those two actions should not allow someone to get a valid cert for a domain they don't control, and whose only fault is that they pointed their A record to the shared domain host.

I don't think TLS-SNI is sufficient proof of Domain Control. IMHO it should be sacked.
Look at it this way - the data of EU people is valuable only because someone eventually will get money from those EU people.

Showing targeted ads to EU people is only valuable because someone somewhere expects to sell stuff to EU people based on those ads; behavior data about EU people is only valuable because someone somewhere expects to use that data to get money from those people.

The end users (potential buyers) of that data will need to be GDPR compliant, because they'll be trading with EU and thus have a presence in EU - and they will have to show that they got all that data in a compliant manner and had consent for that. All the major advertisers with all their money won't be able to legally buy or use "tainted" data for which they have no GDPR-style consent, so they won't.

So if USAdCo has no presence in EU, and has been "paid with data", then it's been paid in a worthless currency - EU companies won't/can't buy that data, worldwide companies like CocaCola or Netflix or Amazon or other USA companies who have EU customers won't/can't buy that data since they have EU presence and will need to be compliant, and USA companies who don't have EU customers won't buy that data since it's not valuable to them.

What good is all that data if you can't really use or sell it? It's not enough for you to be out of GDPR reach, you also need your main partners to be out of GDPR reach; since if you're trading information that might contain private data, and they want to be compliant, guess what - they'll require you to be compliant as well, since they can't simply say "oh, they sold us that data, it's their problem", they're fully responsible.
Why don’t they raise ticket prices? Or add a “Penn Station Facilities Fee” to tickets? I’m still paying a ridiculous “9-11 Security Fee” on airline routes that land in the US and I also pay a ridiculous “solidarity fee” for airline tickets in France.

The kiosks have been in all the McDonald's in the UK I've been to in the past 3 years (probably only about 6 tbh). They're great because you can get exactly what you want, down to the pickle and mustard and it entertains the kids whilst you're in the restaurant.

In busy restaurants the kiosks do allow a massive backlog of orders to build up. The kitchens cannot keep up.

Someone was really reaching to find meaningless superlatives. Wouldn't it be better to compare this station to stations handling similar passenger numbers?

I frequently use Penn Station, Union Station (DC), and 30th Street Station (Philadelphia). All of them are overloaded, but things like waiting areas, bathrooms, food, ticketing aren't really that much worse in Penn Station. Aesthetics, on the other hand...
The one hopeful thing is that maybe this will take down real production costs of stuff so their ability to buy things will grow, but they'd still need assistance if they can't find any job.

I think if you don't want to leave those people behind (you don't, it's societally disruptive to have a bunch of unemployed people who used to be able to kind of support themselves) government bodies need to step in and sponsor more retraining programs.

You have to have a license to attract contributors. https://choosealicense.com/ and github make it easy; there's zero excuse to not have a license.

Permissive licenses attract the broadest range of contributors, so if you're looking to build a large community, they are the way to go. GPL tends to have a smaller overall, but very strong pool of contributors, so if copyleft makes sense for your technology, by all means use it.

Just use a license, please.
> Crypto means cryptography

I hope that's considered obvious on HN.

The suggestion was that "cryptos" could be a suitable plural abbreviation for "cryptocurrencies" (unless it's typically used as an abbreviation for "cryptographies," which it doesn't seem to be). Anyway, I confess that seems likely to just cause more confusion.
Yup. Big difference between rhetoric and an intellectually honest discussion.

MMM is a charlatan whose entire ethos can be boiled down to "make a lot of money initially to pay off all your debt (debt is an emergency), then do little things that make very little difference (no air conditioning), then make a ton of money off of credit card affiliate offers (his entire business)."

Yes his stuff works in the same way that Amway works for the people making a lot of money off of it - it's not realistic for the majority of people who want to do it.
>If I could buy a five-year put on every one of the cryptocurrencies, I’d be glad to do it but I would never short a dime’s worth.”

Hmm, in that way you could see it as the market around cryptocurrencies lacking the financial complexity that could bring their volatility back down to more normal levels.

Yes, they are focusing on feasible mitigation, not abstract theorizing (to be fair, about half of this comment does discuss the same sort of feasible mitigations as are dismissed in the first paragraph.)
Ok, so licences for runners then, as you may need to have a test to see that people know the rules and presumably ban people from running if they break them.
The “Quiet Life” Hypothesis: Managers Will Put Off Hard Decisions If They Can

And still likely to be awful in one way or the other. I got one of Samsung's top model TV's back in 2013, and after a year (or so) some update caused it to start crashing randomly, no matter the input source (and daily with the Netflix app it comes with) Yes, chrashes/hangs even with HDMI input sources, where the interface just hangs after adjusting the volume.

But that's just an anecdote.
Why do you think that's so? I have a wife and kids and I've been working towards something like this. The difficult part is getting debt-free (no student loans and paid off mortgage), but once you've accomplished that you really just need to be able to afford health insurance and food.

He explicitly said your position is "a reasonable position to take". You appear to be so set on being against people, you are seeing things they did not say.

I am arguing that though the position is reasonable, the ad industry as we know it is a piss poor answer. Poor people paying with their privacy is bad.
>If I could buy a five-year put on every one of the cryptocurrencies, I’d be glad to do it but I would never short a dime’s worth.”

Interesting to think what five year puts on a cryptocurrency would cost. Probably more than Buffett or anyone would want to pay.
> Do you have a source

Sure. So called "cord cutting" trend has been around for a while already, and legacy TV has been losing users in millions.

See: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Study%3A+Cord+Cutting+site%3Ahttps...

TL;DR: legacy TV is dead already, it just doesn't know it yet (or rather they already know it, but want to squeeze as much money as they can, before they hit the dust).

Traders Aren’t Falling for Crypto Name Changes but Love Them Anyway
HEVC and AV1 are developed the same way: a joint effort by a consortium of companies and experts. Both cost money to make, and in both cases the consortium members expect some return on their investment. In the case of HEVC, which is a joint effort by the ITU and ISO, it’s a straightforward exchange of technology for money. How is that more “parasitic” than Facebook funding the technology to help people upload their personal data to its platform, which they then monetize through ads?

The simple exchange of goods and services for money is a really wonderful thing. Patents allow companies to do that, instead of having to give away technology and trying to monetize their users through less up front means.
We should get Elon to do it.
Personally I don't think Buffet is the type to be "blind-sided from rage-jealously," which is part of his success. Given how Berkshire stock is performing as of late, I don't think he has much to be jealous of.

>In busy restaurants the kiosks do allow a massive backlog of orders to build up. The kitchens cannot keep up

This sounds like it could be understaffing, but if not, they should just put a pause on all orders. Of course, managers would never want that because they're averse to turning down business even if it worsens the quality for everyone.
Like anything else, you just don't see it.

I'm confused. The article says that, before the recent update, hole 14,758 was impossible. But I made it to hole 28,890 before getting stuck in mid-2016. [0] After the update, I resumed playing, and am currently on hole 31,923.

So either I got a different layout for 14,758, or it's not impossible. And obviously, I've also never encountered a level with endless water. Is it possible that the procedural generation is not identical across all devices?

"While I don't think we should artificially protect such bottom-tier jobs, this transformation is still going to be very disruptive."

There is no need to artificially preserve such jobs, the market provides for them just fine. What threatens such jobs, at least today in California, is price controls on labor.
This is great to see!

It's popular to apply AI to healthcare, transportation and legal work. However, these fields are heavily regulated, require domain expertise and data is hard to get. The nature of front-end dev and other digital skills make them more ripe for automation. I'm surprised there is so little progress in this area.
Bitcoin Can Drop 50% and China Miners Will Still Make Money
I imagine a major reason cyclists don't require licenses is because it would cost a lot compared to the benefit it would confer.

You could push the cost onto cyclists that want the license of course.

In the US the "exam" that most drivers have taken is so stupidly easy that it doesn't really mean much that they earned their license. This is less true for the young people that have had to do more work to get a license, but they aren't the majority of drivers yet.
That was basically one of my first reactions in my first hour of driving. »I can't possibly make a turn here. I don't see where I'm going.« That feeling fades over time and one (at least I still do with just a bit over two years of driving) adapts by going slower, looking more carefully, and especially looking for potential dangers before it's too late. Often (not always, as the article details) it's possibly to see ahead of time what can become problematic, e.g. overtaking a cyclist that you might have to yield to 100 meters later when making a turn. But it takes practice and I'm sure different driving instructors and different drivers place varying amounts of emphasis on such things.
> But you're right, though, now that I'm reflecting, my portrayal of him was too harsh. After all, the man did get fired for writing a letter. THAT is ridiculous and I hope he wins the suit just for that.

It's always good to see the same hot takes rehashed over and over on HN. I'm sure Bloomberg appreciates the ad revenue.

Buffett (with all due respect, and I have a lot of respect for him) doesn't understand Bitcoin, and doesn't add anything of value to the discussion. He's never been much of a technology investor, so this should surprise no one.
It's limited. You don't get to fire someone for being black, or Jewish, or male, and crucially in California, for political speech you disagree with.
The problem of rolling stops is when people accidentally do that at a 2-way stop that they mistake as a 4-way stop. This greatly increases the chance of a collision.

The prevalence of rolling stops is much reduced in countries where all intersections are 2-way stops.

Tech exceptionalism strikes again! Buffet is a smart man, and I would bet that he could understand P2P decentralisation just fine. It's possible to be smart without being a programmer.

But he knows investments a lot better than he knows Bitcoin tech. Why would an in depth knowledge of bitcoin override existing knowledge about investments? The tech of bitcoin certainly does nothing to prevent a bubble, and he's probably seen more bubbles come and go than the rest of us have had hot dinners.
Very true. Oh you just spent $400 on a top of the line product that'll last a decade? Here, check out these $100 bottom of the barrel alternatives that'll surely break in a month.

HEVC has been around longer, and has been widely deployed, so the risk is much smaller.
