Project Titan is such a funny thing. Back when Chauffeur, Google's self driving car project was the only game in town, automakers found it pretty easy to dismiss, but when rumours of an autonomous Apple car began to circulate, the tone amongst car people began to shift. It's what got the automakers thinking "Is this self driving car jazz for real? Omg it might be for real! The tech companies are going to eat our lunch".

It took the carmakers a while to figure out which way was up. The Germans spent $3 billion acquiring Here maps, which was a misfire. Tesla was quick to implement Mobileye's EyeQ3 chip and single camera system and then promptly burned their bridges with Mobileye by pushing the system's capabilities way beyond it's safe design constraints.

Ironically, Apple had succumb to irrational exuberance themselves in moving so aggressively on Titan. Analysts notes a $10 billion dollar bump in Apple's R&D budget during the 2 years when Titan was big. Supposedly the project was a clusterfuck. Steve Zadesky, who was put in charge wanted to make a fairly conventional car with autonomous features, but Jony I've and a group of engineers were adamant about developing a robotaxi, which offered the best opportunity to "reinvent the mobility experience". They couldn't come to terms and executive leadership of Titan was broken from the start.

So however much things were scaled back, the project definitely isn't dead. 27 test vehicles isn't small potatoes. Maybe Apple still intends to build their own vehicle, I guess we'll see.
We worked really hard on this project. Any feedback is appreciated!

Everything's negotiable, but the wisdom of trying it depends on the strength of your negotiating position. Many severance agreements simply reiterate obligations to which you've already agreed in employment/non-compete/non-solicitation agreements. If this is the case, you have basically no leverage. If they're asking for substantial concessions (say, you have a 3 month non-compete and the severance agreement extends it to 12), you've got more of a shot.

Well, the Mailpile job ad also says that they're trying to make it easier to install on Windows and macOS and that they got the funds from the bitcoin fluctuations. It's also not "just" a job ad.

Mailpile is interesting because it's trying to give a convenient frontend for encryption. Maybe if encryption had a better UI, more email would be encrypted.
> Exchanges aren't banks, they're more like open bazaars

I believe the SIPC guarantee covers losses incurred as a result of an exchange failure. Practically, I have a hard time understanding how an exchange failing would cause customers to lose funds (outside capital losses). Securities markets segregate exchange and settlement, e.g. the NYSE from the DTCC [1]. The latter is guaranteed, indirectly, by the federal government.

The articles in the Canadian press are just clickbait. Their paper is https://transacl.org/ojs/index.php/tacl/article/view/821/174

and the claims are somewhat more modest.

The language identification method they use (does it count as AI?) assumes that the Voynich Manuscript text is in a language they check for, the words of which may have been anagrammed. There is no consensus that this is the case. The Voynich Manuscript could be entirely meaningless, or encrypted using a different mechanism, or be written in a language they don't check for. They then find the closest match. The use of anagrams adds an extra degree of freedom, which makes finding spurious matches more likely.

So they identified Hebrew, which is at least plausible. They then translate one line of the manuscript, using Google Translate, into English.

There was no control. They should have applied their method to text known to be meaningless, and questioned their approach if meaning was found. Gordon Rugg (whom they cite) and myself (here: http://web.onetel.com/~hibou/voynich/generated-voynich-manus... ) have generated meaningless Voynichese text.

I haven't applied their entire approach, but Google Translate translates the first line of my generated manuscript, when the language is identified as Bengali, as "Do not worry about the fact that the person is very friendly".

You aren't kidding, but I don't have anything like the background to start. Looks like I'm stuck reading about others' exploits. :-/

Edit: Storytime. Several weeks ago, about 2:00am local time, I was letting the dog out into the back yard and saw a very bright object (somewhat brighter than the stars around it) passing from NW to SE, almost overhead. It had a bright-dim-bright frequency of about 10-15 seconds. A satellite is the only option that comes to mind, but I checked several "what's overhead now" websites with no luck.
It really needs to have the ability to add arbitrary numbers of physical addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers to a contact in the address book, as well as give each field an arbitrary name. Every other address book on the planet allows this. The fact that it can't makes it unusable for me.

It would also be nice to have a proper three vertical pane view. The way it currently works is horrendous.
Just google "light pollution map", NOAA has been producing them since at least the 90's. We used it for our astronomy club when we purchased property for our observatory in 2000. At the time it was the only blue area on the map within 1 hour drive. Unfortuatley there's no blue areas within a 2 hour drive now :(.
I think it will go much faster than people realise, because the big blocker to infrastructure changes that make self driving easier is the fact that there are no self driving cars. Once they have a foothold somewhere, with caveats and limitations, it's much easier to convince the neighboring city that with "only a few updates to these intersections" or "just a couple of beacons" or whatever, they can have self driving taxis too.
When do the people learn? If you hand over the control of your crypto-currency to the central trade authority, it completely ruins the value of crypo-currency.

You should rather use traditional nation-backed currency at regulated trade authority.
Doesn't the inclusion of race in both sentences cause problems?

One of the typical examples of a micro aggression is the unnecessary inclusion of a description "I went to the women doctor today," "That was a very fine dressed black man," "That old cashier was really slow."

In the same way I see the inclusion of race in both sentences promoting discrimination based on race. I would go so far as to say that the inclusion of race in both statements makes the statement racist (in the sense that racism is the discrimination of a person or persons based on their race).
Sorry, do you have a source for any of your claims?

I'm driving a '97 Miata now. No cruise, no ABS, basically no safety features other than questionable 90's airbags. It does have an LSD which is great. I find that being in touch with the road contributes to better control and safe driving on my part than when driving bigger vehicles with automatic trans, cruise, etc. Also driving with the top down feels pretty scary at first, and being that exposed really makes me think about how I'm driving.

I've been using Thunderbird for the last 11 years daily at home and at work. Generally, it has been a remarkably stable and pleasant ride.

I remember a few bumps around 08..2010 where I ran beta builds because of some bugs. Also, I used to have extensions that colorized patches and highlighted quotes/threads... but those eventually broke and disappeared.

So, right now I am running a stock Thunderbird with a few profile customizations that tweak fonts (colors and sizes). Hitting GMail (work) and Fastmail (home) servers every minute or so.

Go Thunderbird!

The Best Way to Create a Static Site for Your Side Project (for Developers)
One reason might be a lack of datasets.

There are a ton of datasets out there for things like traffic sign identification, and vehicle/pedestrian/etc identification - but most of those vehicles in those datasets are:

1. From the rear (or oblique rear angles)

2. Of mostly automobiles and small trucks

There likely aren't many real-world datasets of vehicles facing the vehicle and stopped in the road, and/or of larger vehicles (buses, semi-trucks/lorries, emergency vehicles, bulldozers/tractors, etc).

Without having such datasets, the AI you have trained won't have any way of knowing about those objects, and they may be odd enough that they can't be easily extrapolated from the datasets you do have to train on.

And by "dataset" - I mean you need massive amounts of data; 50,000 images would be a "small" dataset. Ideally you want many times that, plus you want to "generate" synthetic views for more training data (by skewing/warping the existing images, it helps the system generalize on the data).

That's a possible explanation, but I don't know if that's the reason, part of the reason, or no reason at all. Plus, it's not to say they are "at fault" - or to absolve the driver of any responsibility.

I'm just throwing it out there, based on my knowledge and experience - which isn't much, I admit (I completed the Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree last year, plus Udacity's CS373 course, and what is now the Coursera Machine Learning course - but I took it as ML Class in 2011 before Coursera existed).
It's quite trendy at the moment, but Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari was quite the life changing book. As well as An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth by Commander Chris Hadfield was a rather inspirational tale.

So is this product overvalued?
It costs me about 600 dollars a month to commute to work where I live. So yes, if push came to shove, I would take a hit roughly equivalent to that, all else being equal. I might even go above that, because I greatly value working from home.

That said, in a salary negotiation, I don't think I would let that slip. As you have pointed out, remote work is a mutually beneficial situation, and just as I save money, so does the company. It makes sense to share the savings, and charge about the same rate one normally would in the region in which one lives.

> Yeah all he's saying is that socioeconomic background correlates even more strongly with socioeconomic background.

This is a reasonable observation, but the ought that's implicit in it is not. Heart disease correlates more strongly with death than lung cancer; does that mean it's wrong in some sense to donate to lung cancer research over heart disease?

To make my opinion more material: individuals have the right to make independent decisions within a broad moral framework. It's not wrong for individuals to personalize the good they do (in this case, in the form of racial justice) so long as what they're doing really is good.
Damn. We'll then, yeah, I guess Goog could do that. It's be a death-knell for their company culture, but they could then. Thanks for the link!
A couple years ago I was working at a start-up on a team of about 3 developers. I was 20 years old and knew nothing about configuration management, but we needed it, so I bought a book ("x for devops" - trying not to advertise), and got an automation pipeline in place that got the job done.

Cannot stress enough to new developers how you should have one of Ansible, Puppet, etc., framework under your belt to improve your ability to build software products. I'd recommend picking one that works equally good with old legacy systems, rather then just whatever is new like Kubernetes, because it will seriously broaden your career options and make you an asset to almost every software company.

EDIT: to clarify, k8s can obviously be used with legacy software applications. But the idea was that if you get hired by $some_old_PHP_shop throwing Ansible into the mix may have significantly less friction then convincing whoever is in charge to start maintaining k8s clusters.
> Is it that since white people have more power and more numbers we should focus extra hard on white bigotry?

Yes.

> Starting with the assumption that all people should be treated equally than all bigotry is morally objectionable and we should treat all bigotry as such.

Good assumption. I agree.

> The only issue that comes in is that since white people have the power and numbers white bigotry happens more than other bigotry and thus we by chance we object to it more.

I don't really understand this part, but I'll add that not only does it happen more, it is more damaging. A white bigot can get shit done.

> I don't see any way that this allows bigotry against whites to get a pass, it just gets called out less because it happens less.

I don't think it does allow bigotry against whites. I'm not worried much about bigotry against whites. Maybe I will be after white bigotry is reigned in a bit, but for now eyes on the ball.

Now, you could argue that I could have gotten the same deal without marriage, just living with her for. But first, I could not have gotten that deal - not with her. It was marriage or nothing. And second, I didn't want just living together either. I wanted the real thing, with the commitment. I wanted to commit to her, not just to an institution or a tradition.

Unrelated to the content of the story, but interesting nonetheless...

While reading the article (which was low quality with a flawed attention-grabbing headline, as others have pointed out), I noticed 3 consecutive articles linked on the right side were for porn-related stories. I don't know too much about the International Business Times, but the name would have made me think it was a relatively upstanding news source. Plus, the .co.uk always adds a bit of extra class for us Americans.

So, I looked the place up on Wikipedia[1]. Here's what I found...

"In late 2011, Google allegedly moved the outlet's articles down in search results in response to excessive search engine optimization activity."

"Reporting in 2014, Mother Jones claimed that IBT journalists are subject to constant demand to produce clickbait; one former employee reportedly complained that management issued 'impossible' demands, including a minimum of 10,000 hits per article, and fired those who couldn't deliver."

And it goes on...

So, yep, pretty much a click-bait factory. No wonder the story is so mangled.
