The only things I can think of are:

1) AI. Somehow, we finally get the AI working, and it somehow produces a lot more jobs. I really think the opposite will happen, but who knows.

2) Climate Change. The ever rising waters and the ever worsening storms will cause nations to re/build large infrastructure projects. Think seawalls and repairing the NYC subway. I don't think that will be good, as it'll mostly just be debt spending, but who knows.

3) Biotech. With CRISPR and optogenetics combined, the ability to safely edit in vivo will explode. Change your eye color to pink in a week. New fruits and veggies. Everyone has a really skinny body-type. Etc. The FDA and other nation's agencies will be hesitant, but it'll happen either way. I think this has the biggest chance, though the time horizons are much longer than we are used to, maybe centuries.
Sure, but this is like describing a scenario where automobile brakes are randomly spontaneously being applied as “cars are being parked more often than usual.”

Qatar has natural gas and connections to Iran. And is still in the black economically.

When I look at Saudi Arabia it looks like over time their oil income which pays all the bills is fixed while their population keeps growing. Both common poor people and the number of ultra rich. Divide one by the other and it's not pretty.

UAE has no oil or gas income and is living off loans.

Probably part of the reason the current king in waiting is trying to also jack his more distant relations for cash.

This time the hype is founded - Deep (Reinforcement) Learning truly pushed many AI domains out of uncanny valley. Image recognition/generation, speech recognition and synthesis, shallower language understanding - we truly have tech we have never seen before and only dreamed about. Of course, it won't solve everything, but the "solved level" got a massive upgrade with recent advancements. If we get GPUs that can compute DNNs 1000x faster, then we will see magic everywhere around us; so far the good models take very long to train, making them less adaptable to changing conditions.
It's really not a great way to launder money. To keep it off the books, you will need armies of individuals going out and buying it with cash through forums or whatever. Same to convert it back to cash. Otherwise, you are just buying and selling it through exchanged who, in the US, are going to report it on your 1099k.

Otherwise, you have to have a seemingly legitimate Enterprise that is accepting Bitcoin on a large scale. Which would cause you to stand out like a sore thumb to the authorities because no one in their right mind is using Bitcoin with $40 transaction fees.
> The idea of a "one stop shop", also known as a monopoly doesn't make sense as soon as the market is large enough for multiple players.

I’ve wondered this myself - it’s a great system and I’ve really enjoyed using it once I learned what it’s good for and the limitations, but this does seem like a glaring issue. My best guess based on the AP display, is that it doesn’t see the stopped vehicle out far enough to initiate braking.

Thanks for the IFTTT recommendation, I'll have a look. This is my first camera. My first instinct was to go with something like a Foscam/Amcrest on a more "DIY" route but the thought of having something plug-and-play was nice too, especially with Nest playing up their "we use A.I. and algorithms to make this all work perfectly" angle, which I feel misled by.

I figure the Trump corporate tax cuts are good for about 20% growth in the stock market.

(35% to 21% means that profits after taxes jumps about 20% even if nothing else changes. This means the value of the company goes up 20%.)

Of course, the market has gone up much more than that.

They're trading at 12X revenue. That's not so outlandish for a firm that nobody unsubscribes from, and that can raise prices without taking a revenue hit. (If they raise prices 15% a year for 5 years, that puts them at 6X revenue, and they're stickier than a lot of SaaS companies)

But what do I know? I thought Facebook was overvalued at $30 billion.
Amazon is generating plenty of profit for investors. And the best kind of profit too, capital gains.

Why pay out dividends to your investors with after tax money that will be taxed again at a higher rate when you can just stash it overseas and buy more capital assets and let the stock grow in perpetuity. Same with apple.

As an investor, you don't need dividends, you just sell a few shares each quarter.

Take a look at California, a state that implements just about every idea under the sun without a care in the world for the tax payers’ money (latest example is Hyperloop). Not coincidentally, California is also a state that is broke, crime riddled, filled with toxic waste and pollution, just about burned to the ground (say what you want - that’s a result of bad land management), running out of drinking water, and just about every other thing you could cram into a B-rated dystopian movie.

Do you have any more writing on this subject?

> it somehow produces a lot more jobs.

Recall a few days ago some people were trying to reconstruct the genome of the first black man in Iceland. There's no way anyone could have a job doing that in anything but a very wealthy society.

In other words, AI won't create jobs in manufacturing, but it will enable unexpected jobs to be created that would otherwise not be cost-effective.

I don't think the naming is the problem. No matter what you call it, the fact that it works 99% of the time gives people confidence to continue using it, up until it doesn't work, and then there's no time to react. In a car, you generally have some space and time in front of you, but you usually have no lateral margin of error, and that assymmetry is what makes it different from planes and boats.

I can see your concern, but when was the last time you see China screwed the world up? And, to be honest, I'd never imagine China revenge and send 731 unit-like troops to Japan and do the same live-body experimentation.

This is worrying. The Florida case was understandable. I fail to understand how a big red vehicle with flashing lights could've been missed by the Vision system of Tesla.
Here is my question for HN readers: do you trust this article? Because it tries to fool us.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Europe, US and Turkey was the big alliance which tried to take down Syria. Please check the records western news channels in 2013, it was full of joyful propaganda about Free Syrian Army fighting for democracy in Syria. The actual goal was of course had nothing to do with democracy and Arab spring was total bullshit. The goal was to create a new pipeline from Qatar to Europe so Europe don’t have to buy gas from Russia. Syria, between Turkey and Jordan was the only barrier for this project. If they removed Assad, Russia would be screwed. This is why Russia got in the field and started fighting back to protect Assad.

In 2014, Qatar and Turkey splitted from this alliance because they realized that Russia will not let Syria down. That was also the time FSA split into bunch of groups; Wahabist ISIS and socialist YPG. Noone ever questioned how a group backed by Saudi money would fight another backed by American money. Western news brainwashed the whole world with ISIS and YPG, people don’t even remember what did happen before; Russia won the war in both Ukraine and Syria, at same time.

This is the deal; the war is lost, and the alliance is defeated & splitted. Qatar and Turkey are now enemies on the Russian side. The western alliance tried hard to take down their presidents by organizing coups but it failed. Qatar will survive just as Iran, Syria and Russia.

The article is just another Western propaganda painting a middle eastern enemy as “little lone wolf”, and people just buy this stuff easily in the propaganda bubble they live in.

That is untrue, President Obama hated fracking and did much to discourage it.
> In basketball, there’s a metric they started tracking in recent years called on-off splits. Simply, it’s meant to capture how much better your team is with a given player on or off the court. I love this metric because it’s an attempt to measure an individual’s impact on a team’s performance with an acknowledgement that individual statistics can’t paint the full picture.

Also found that 'on-off splits' metric so resounding.
> It covers things that have nothing to do with what ISPs want to deal with as part of their businesses, and places the expensive burden of proof and compliance on the ISP. So yes, it makes sense that small ISPs would not want to compete with the AT&Ts and Comcasts of the world with their armies of compliance officers. You'd never see another small ISP formed again.

The 2015 net neutrality rules applied Title II with forbearance. It left out those things you mention.

Yeah. Didn't see that. Thanks.
That's my point - the public perception (even among a technical crowd) is way off from the reality. People think an "Autopilot" does way more than it actually does.
Honestly, kube is a no-brainer thank-you-sweet-baby-jesus improvement in ops posture over an easy handful of shops I’ve come across.
Not yet. Still likely some time before it will be finished.
An aircraft autopilot is not designed to automatically avoid collisions with other traffic or animals. It's purpose is only to maintain course, speed, and altitude. In VFR conditions while autopilots are useful continuous scanning of your surroundings is necessary.

Meanwhile a Tesla "autopilot" is designed to drive in traffic with other vehicles.

Zuckerberg said no such thing. He said fake news articles on Facebook did not affect the election.

Also, that people were using some sleazy disinformation on Facebook as a convenient excuse.

> "I think there is a certain profound lack of empathy in asserting that the only reason someone could have voted the way they did is because they saw fake news,” Zuckerberg said. “If you believe that, then I don’t think you internalized the message that Trump voters are trying to send in this election."

Pretty good article although, it is still very soft on Saudi Arabia and too intent to glamorize bin Salman. But american media has always been intent on glamorizing bin Salman.

What really pisses me off about this whole story is the role Trump played. It is not surprising to see Saudi Arabia and the Emirates to suddenly gang up in an surprising all out attack on Qatar in one morning. These types of intrigues happen in the Middle East quite often. What is unusual and very disappointing is that the US president also joined in the gang with his tweets. And the initial tweet was timed to come in exactly before the sanctions were announced ... it looked like the whole thing was carefully coordinated (even if it wasn't, it looked like it was and that is enough to damage the US reputation).

And then when Tillerson was out there trying to diffuse the subject and ensure the safety of out base, Trump actually undermined him.
One can be short-term bearish, long-term bullish, on cryptocurrency. I am. Tether is a disaster looming on the horizon for every cryptocurrency investor and business, but it, too, will pass. Mt. Gox was very bad for crypto for a while...and, then it didn't matter anymore.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager we'll see Tether play out similarly: Big spike in price (which we've already seen), massive drop to something reasonable based on actual demand and participation by real people with real money (currently ongoing, though surprisingly drawn out...the Tether trick seems to be working better than I would have believed, if it were pitched as a film plot), and then long slow climb back to a new all-time high (two years, perhaps).

Then again, at some point, something that works better is going to replace Bitcoin. Maybe the terrifying Tether crash will be the straw that breaks BTCs back. But, Coinbase/GDAX will be well-placed to profit from whatever that next thing is, as long as they're vigilant for new opportunities and careful as hell about security. Coinbase can only lose by making mistakes at this point. They profit whether BTC is going up or down, as they take (very high) fees regardless.
Not that it applies to your case particularly but ...

> remaining calm

is not always right. I know people who see 'being calm' in the face of anger or provocation as being apathetic -- somewhat lifeless and inhuman. Which enrages them.

Anger is a normal human emotion -- don't overdo it and don't underdo it.

This calibration might take most of your life.

I've never been disappointed with the food at In&Out ever. Maybe with a lag in cleanliness of tables or bathrooms (but that's been rare). McDonald's the food is consistently bad that I'm surprised when it is good.m It's either been too cold, mushy, wrong or missing something. This is based on a cross country trip with small kids who optimize on happy meals. Also play centers and room are basically essential for small kids. Makes a world of difference. This and happy meals are the only reasons to go to McDonald's.
That's literally just the definition of a whitelist and a blacklist. I think the comment you were replying to was making the point that blacklists generally work poorly in practice and should be reconsidered where at all possible.

From a political perspective, what's necessary until the safety drivers are no longer legally required? I believe there are a couple places that don't require them now, actually.
Because phones aren't a strategic asset with geopolitical importance. If China corners the market on solar then they would be able to undermine US energy production in any protracted war (shooting, trade or other), it would be the future equivalent of cutting off the oil/coal supply but with more lag time.

Being unable to get new phones would merely be a personal inconvenience.

China is highly dependent on foreign coal, so they also have a strategic interest in creating energy independence.
Mixing the contexts of my text editing with the contexts of every other application running in my wm doesn’t sound like an improvement.

I take issue with people who insist on abrogating responsibility. The Tesla tells you to keeps your hands on the wheel.

Pilot training covers techniques for avoiding automation dependency (aka letting autopilot kill you and all tour passengers). Perhaps we need the same for car drivers: if the car was as good a driver as you, it wouldn’t give you the option to drive.

Al Jazeera has got to have something to do with it, right? The biggest threats to royalty are always their subjects, and even if AJ is somewhat discredited as Qatari propaganda in its neighbor's societies, it is also certainly more than that. As someone from a different hemisphere, I have to say the AJ Roku app is the single best way I've found to watch news. No one is risking the ire of his rulers to check out what the Saudi news department is saying.

The aircraft autopilot can also fly a route and handle everything from takeoff to landing, but pilots don’t rely on it to do so.

Tesla Autopilot can keep pace with surrounding traffic and stay between marked lines but does not recognise stationary obstacles.

They are very much the same in that they automate the mundane parts of the operation of the vehicle. They are also the same in that they do not know how to handle conditions outside their operating envelope.
PSK31 is 31 bps, but that's with ~100 Hz between channels. DXing is common in the 14 MHz band, so you could probably get to the megabits-per-second range before Physics (or the FCC) stops you.
Doesn't help that drivers act incredibly entitled to the road and view pedestrians and bicycles as obstacles.
