I am not a lawyer so I may not be 100% correct. As far as I remember my driving classes and other resources (cannot quickly find exact provision), anything that is not part of road infrastructure (there are intentional obstacles to guide traffic) and causes vehicle to change speed/direction is an obstacle, so moving traffic kind of is. I understand that this particular provision is specifically there to prevent gridlocks and is never enforced in this particular situation.

The way traffic works is somewhat dependent on region. I can go to another city an hour away and already feel a bit alien traffic wise there. This is relevant in discussion on autonomous vehicles: in any foreseeable future we need them to coexist with human drivers and abide by unwritten "everyone drives like that here" rules.

Contrary to modern software developers, artists are used to the notion that tools developed by other people are worthy of some kind of compensation, even if found on some flea market.
I use the smiley face emoji (":)") to convey this sentiment.
I think the trend will go even further where private autos are replaced with a fleet of automated taxis. Especially in dense cities, this would allow for more utilization and require less need for parking.

It really isn’t a new thing in countries where (non-automated) taxis are super common and private car ownership is much rarer (e.g. much of Asia and some of Europe).
I'm not sure if you could do that without a full quantum dynamic simulation of each cell organelle.

Is there anything better than DFT method for quantum chemistry? You can look it up and see how much effort it takes to simulate just a few molecules.

I'm pretty sure full cell level simulation would revolutionize biology and medicine.

Not for the faint at heart! Be prepared for some very offensive comments, although a lot of dead stuff is just new accounts and reasonable comments.
All of your comments appear to be dead/flagged and I don't know why.
In this particular instance yes, that is easy. The core of the problem is that hard rules force traffic into this deadlock. To avoid this deadlock autonomous vehicles must be taught to sometimes bend the rules. Which brings its own can of worms - how do you teach a robot under what specific circumstances rules can be bent.
Saying that "there are no better-than-classical" quantum computers is analogous to saying that no fusion reactor has ever been run at over-unity: an observation of a success metric that is easy to keep track of, necessary to obtain, and as it seems very difficult to actually flip.

While it may not be possible to have programming without CS, it's certainly possible to have CS without programming. And if you're going to school for CS, you're there to learn math, not software engineering. Many (most?) people who study CS have no intention of writing software or becoming developers.

So I guess neither Russians, nor Ukrainians, nor Kazakhs, who probably have not even heard about Jews' existence, nor other millions of people slaughtered by communists count. Only Jews? That's not much different from making excuses for Nazis. Except, of course, that they had killed far fewer people.

Exact numbers in the Black Book might be inaccurate -- unlike Germans, Soviets did not keep precise accouinting, but even the alleged discrediting by its authors boils down to quibbling over whether it was the exact 100 million (a suspicious number indeed), or 93 million, or maybe only 67 million. Other criticism is just pathetic bleatinbgs from fellow travellers who have as much credibility on crimes of communists as David Irving has on the Holocaust.

As a little amusing fact, Roland Freisler was one of those people taking last grain away from Russian peasants. But then the revolving door betweem commies and nazis was wide open back then https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%80...
The people that have the most going on in their lives tend to be punctual, because being really productive requires good time management in the first place.
Look, I don't know your whole situation, so I don't want to be judgemental. But the thing that really stands out for me is that I think you're being overly optimistic about the number of productive hours you'll actually have per day for all of this.

I'd be so worried about being burnt out from juggling not only the kids' daily lives, but their schooling and then on top of that your job. Where are you going to find time for looking after yourself? Exercising, down-time for both your physical, mental and emotional health.

All I can think of this is the image of that dude holding the whole world on his shoulder...

I don't have any real suggestions as far as maximizing your income earning potential. Maybe pick up project based work or clients?

I'm not a single dad, but I have 2 young kids and a wife that travels a great deal for work. And when she's away, I get a much greater perspective on what an amazing job single parents do. I find myself sometimes burnt out juggling that many things on my own. And also catch myself cutting corners to make things work.

I really wish you and your fam the best of luck.
I find it just as difficult to be on time for flights as I do for get-togethers with friends, or anything else, for that matter.

I've missed at least 8 flights in the past decade, have seen only the last 80-90% of many of the films I watched in the cinema, have had to stand in the back for the first act of many stage productions, etc. Seeing me walk, rather than run, through train stations and airports is a rare sight. I don't recall a single multi-day bushwalk I've been on, where I pitched my tent before sunset, or even within 2 hours after it.

Some of us simply don't have the time awareness and executive function to be on time. I have a clock always visible in my line of sight at my desk, but many times, I can't get myself to actually read the time off it, even though it's right there (and it's digital).

If my friends didn't know not to take my lateness personally, I wouldn't have any friends.

(Dec 13, 2017) -

This is a great start. But I think we really need more like 100,000 new units built. Just to help reverse some of the astronomical housing prices.

I have no idea how a teacher would be able to live in SV and plan to have a family and everything else. At this rate, the housing costs are unsustainable. We wont be able to have a functioning city with all the needed staffing like teachers, nurses, sellers, etc.

I'm rather disappointed by lack of vision from SV and SV companies in this regard.

Apple has enough money that they could buy a huge block of land across the hills in Santa Cruz county. Build a large housing community of 10,000+ and hire the boring company to dig tunnel connecting that community to their new campus. Probably using autonomous electric shuttles.

That kind of housing project probably lessens the salary demands and I would imagine the project could not only pay for itself in 5-10 years, but it could also help increase Apple's retention rate.

Thank Maps for the Cadillac CT6's Super Cruise Self-Driving
I don’t drive so I can’t say I’ve ever used Waze, but I did recently switch from Google Maps to Apple Maps. I’d say that the author’s findings about both apps largely mirrors my own experience using them for public transport and walking directions.

Apple Maps generally always gives fairly conservative but accurate estimations of walking times, while Google Maps is all over the place. I’ve missed perhaps half a dozen buses while using Google Maps because of unrealistic walking times, but none while using Apple Maps. On the other hand, Google Maps has also sometimes overestimated walking times by ~20 minutes.

As for using public transport, Apple Maps is just more useful. It’s easier to find stations, easier to find out about disruptions and gives better walking directions around stations. Google Maps regularly gets trains and buses mixed up, makes it a pain to find information about disruptions, and in a city with multiple modes of transport (i.e. Melbourne AU with trains, trams and buses) a cluster of train/bus/tram stations on a map just gets rendered as an unreadable mess.

Google’s UI is also a bit of a pain. Several friends (both iOS and Android users) have complained that Google Maps is too fiddly to use on the go. I’d agree, and add that Apple Maps is a lot easier to use on a crowded train or while walking.

That said, for a long time I persistently had problems with Apple Maps being slower to load actual maps. I suppose I’d better start collecting my own usage data and write a blog post.
"no two people differ in learning ability" != "every child is capable of graduating". Your reply is barely related to my request for citation.

And it's not clear to why it's complete nonsense either. Do you have some sort of data about what the cognitive needs are to graduate secondary school, and what percentage of the population lacks them?

Considering real world schools have varying grades and varying tracks of difficulty from remedial to advanced, it seems like they recognize a wide range in learning ability.
this + Smaller sensor means larger effective focal length, which tends to smaller/cheaper lenses.

86x zoom for 35mm sensor would be much larger (so big that it would be impractical), heavier and much pricier than $200k.

Here is why I cannot see bitcoin becoming a "currency" - lack of a central authority which can enforce stability on its value.

If a loaf of bread is going to cost 1 milli-btc today and 2 milli-btc tomorrow, that will simply wreak havoc in the society. Most folks just want a stable predictable life with as little volatility as possible.

Say what you want about modern central bankers, they have kept things mostly stable. 2008 crash was the worst thing happened on their watch, which is mild in comparison to other horrors of the past (like great depression).

Maven doesn't specify hard version numbers - the default meaning of "1.0" is >= 1.0, and some packages specify dependencies without a version at all. It's quite possible to get updates of transitive dependencies without realising it (especially since most tooling does not encourage pinning any dependency other than the superficial ones).
Building more high income housing still reduces housing costs at the low end. Every person who rents in a new development - even if it's $5000/month - is a person who isn't competing in a lower cost market.
I'm 33, and my experience has basically been the same as the GP.

Past a certain point, you never see your friends again unless they're accompanied by their SO, and once they have kids, their lives revolve around their kids and nothing else.

And I'll always remember the culture shock when I a new job where my coworkers were mostly in their 30s while my coworkers at my last job were all in their 20s. Office conversations at the new company mostly centered on the logistics of taking out a second mortgage, debates over what kind of grass to put in their yards, and talk of what their children are up to. I was 30 at the time, and I decided then and there that these were people I had nothing whatsoever in common with, and if this is what I have to look forward to as I get older, I don't really want a social life anymore.
For what it's worth, my account is older by ~7 months and I'm not yet halfway there.
Have you considered that we may be incapable, rather than inconsiderate? Especially if it's "all the time"?

Do you think that those of us without adequate executive function are on time for things we deem truly important? If you do, then you might want to challenge that notion, and see if that affects your viewpoint.
...Learn how by calling our law firm. Attention fail. Of course you offer a service but provide some color around the process. How much time might I expect it to take?

I'm using Waze because this is the one which knows about closures. I stopped using Google Maps and switched to Waze when Google took me to the 'quickest' empty route turned out to be empty because of a closure. I know nowadays Google already knows about this but only because of Waze. Google would be totally useless without Waze (and they know this).
Golden rule of driving with Waze: if it tells you to detour, you are taking the detour.

I'm confident that dropping credit cards would result in less business lost than dropping standard-capacity magazines.

Can you name some "large gun stores"? I know of a couple online, but I also know that the sets "customer who buy 'assault weapons'" and "customers who buy from large retailers" are very nearly disjoint.

> You'll have a few boutique stores that can't take card, but do have a wide selection of more powerful weapons and then they can explain when 99% of school shooters get their guns from these 1-2% of gun shops.

I treat helmet safety like I do gun safety. ALWAYS TREAT A GUN AS IF ITS LOADED. If you don't, you behave differently around it always. And that's how people accidentally shoot their friends or themselves (even cleaning their gun). If you choose to not compromise on fundamentals like that, you are positioning yourself and others for less risk from the get go.

Thankfully I applied the same ALWAYS mentality to wearing a helmet for my biking commute. I was obeying traffic laws when a pickup truck turned into me while I was traveling through a green light. I had right of way and he wasn't paying attention and clipped me fairly hard. I tried to break and skid about 10 feet as he turned into me. I ended up in the hospital with a severe concussion and a terrifying 6 hours for my wife as she sat next to me. Praying that my lost memory would recover as the concussion wore off. I was initially forgetful of us having been married for less than a year. Eventually I started remembering things again, quite a scary moment for us.

Funny thing was I was riding to visit a friend who was just a few blocks away. He had recently criticised me for wearing a helmet to go less than a mile to visit him.

Fast forward a year and finally getting the nerve to ride again. My first trip out and a teenager blows through a stop sign without looking and almost hits me. In broad daylight, flashing lights on my bike and all.

There is an inherit risk in riding my bike to work. And a helmet may not provide a meaningful mitigation of risk. (I've never bothered to look up statistics, maybe you have?) However, I can control just a few variables to ride or not, ride defensively or not, and wear protective gear or not. I certainly have no control of the motor vehicles drivers or their distractions. So I choose the variables that I can control without losing the joy of commuting as a cyclist.

Definitely agree. I find when I'm downvoted it was due to being an impulsive post rather than a well thought out post.

With the amount you see people say 'I'll get downvoted for this but...' then go on to be the top post, I think the downvoted helps more than hurts.

There's groupthink of course, but I feel the HN community is more responsible with it, and that comes from someone who often disagrees with the majority (personally, rarely expressed).
I like to ride my bike to work because it's much faster than taking the bus (20 minutes versus 40+ minutes) . However, when it rains, I take the bus. And it rains quite often where I live (Taipei).

Blockchain shot itself in the foot though going dumb shit like crypto kitties and so many scam ICOs and every exchange and ICO getting hacked.

"Be your own bank" is great except that you're shit at being a bank and this is now a well established fact.

Blockchain applications like the one I first mentioned are quite amazing. Being able to automate mitigation if counter-party risk has great economic value. But I wouldnt trust a billion dollar enterprise to a bunch of crypto kids and their crypto kitties.

I have been working on a project to use some DIY bone conduction "headphones" to do directed noise canceling because I'm on the autistic spectrum and loud places bug the shit out of me and make it so i can't focus. Bone conduction is neat because it works inside your head and doesn't cover your ears. I think BC noise canceling is really under explored for audio related stress issues.

I'm putting a mic on the back of my head to pull the room then stereo directional mics out front to actively noise cancel the room but not the person I'm looking at in a cone that I can fiddle with. Initial tests seem to work! I'm trying to improve it with a crossover for low frequency on the jaw just under my earlobes and a mid/high driver on my temple. I think even a commercial setup for bike riders and some experimentation you might be able to find some relief. I've found them to be lacking in lower frequency which is why I'm using stronger drivers and the below the ear positioning.

Might be something to try playing with. It's pretty inexpensive. I'm using "Surface Transducers" from Adafruit and an STM32F4 Discovery board to process the noise canceling (has great FFT libs). All in my current setup is maybe $150 with a couple iterations under my belt.
