Where is the middle ground? In the self-driving car debate, I only see the extremes of the positions. Surely it will end in a compromise.

I own two classic cars (well, one of them will be soon enough). By virtue of their age, they are obviously not self-driving and never will be. But I hope to have them in my possession 30-40 years from now, because I like them very much.

I believe I like driving, because I only do it for fun. I either take the train or bike to work, depending on the weather, so I am not beholding to my cars. Hence why I don't own a modern car.

I recognise that my position is unique, but I would sad to lose my ability to drive my cars on the road (and my collection may grow in the future). I understand people's desire for self-driving cars, and I'm glad if they get them. As long as I can drive my old-timey cars.

Indeed, once there are more electric cars than petrol powered cars on the roads, getting petrol will be harder. But that's OK, as long as it's still possible.

My position is; I may not personally need self-driving cars, but I respect others' desire to want them. But articles like this make me cringe, I hope I don't need to explain why.

Who exactly was asking for front-facing sensors to "[share] verticals space with usable screen area"?

We've had front-facing sensors for a decade now. You put them in a bezel. Everybody is fine with bezels and you never hear anybody complaining about them. It's very telling that the Apple-ogetics never say "I love the notch", instead they say things like "it didn't bother me after a while". Huge difference.

It's kinda like how they decided that the Macbook Pro needs to be lighter no matter what. I guess their logic is that "less is more", which is essentially a trite way of claiming that what you're doing is right without having to prove anything.

Apple is just bad at design IMO. They always have been. Their OSes and their software have always had the just about the worst UI that I've ever seen and their hardware offerings have always been foisted on ignorant people who actually buy the less is more "logic".

That's effectively what redux-thunk seems to want you to be doing: running asynchronous operations inside of its control.

That makes me super nervous.
Absolutely agree.

I've found the most magic in finding the intersection of useful and interesting, and suspect that this has led me to more satisfaction than someone who has found something only useful and used their willpower to focus on it.
Like anything else there's going to be some amount of fraud going on if it's profitable.

My experience buying mostly organic produce for a decade has shown to have generally better results than conventional. Conventional produce doesn't taste as good at the very least, and it's very obvious there can be significant differences.

Organic fruits rot much quicker, it's impossible to keep organic strawberries around for more than a day.

Organic heads of romaine lettuce are often full of living insects like tiny green aphids and other small winged bugs. Previously finding an insect in my produce was such an exceptional occurrence and my perspective so skewed by consuming only conventional produce that I would dispose of it if there were any evidence of insects, finding it so abhorrent as to be bad. Now when there are insects, which is quite common with organic lettuce, I somewhat rejoice in the evidence of insects finding my food an appropraite place to live, wash it off, and eat.

Having said that, most of my experience is in the SF bay area at quite high quality grocery stores where the produce department is large and almost entirely organic from local suppliers, the New Leaf in Half Moon Bay for example is organic by default, conventional clearly labeled and the exception. These places move so much organic produce there's no problem stocking large quantities and varieties without throwing it all away due to the short shelf life. Whenever I'm visiting the midwest and try continuing my normal diet of predominately organic produce, my options tend to be limited to Whole Foods and they don't have much organic produce because the local population isn't buying it. What organic stuff they do have is of notably worse quality than what I've grown accustomed to, not from local sources, and often packaged in branded bags or plastic containers with a suspiciously chemical taste I've come to associate with conventional produce.

There seems to be some access privileges in play with quality organic produce. If you're in an affluent area with health-conscious people and abundant local sources, the grocers have incredible organic produce and there's an obvious advantage. YMMV
I think this is a product the space we raise children in.

Kids spend hours casually absorbed in phones, tablets, and consoles (basically the heroin of screen-based entertainment), and then we sit them in a room for eight hours. So they get restless. And we drug them.

What's the right thing to do here?

The only defense I have against "girls have tech, too; why aren't they on speed" is that boys spend more time on screens, which is just a casual hypothesis.

> No, you don't. If you're not on a road, there's no need for any of those. You don't even need a license.

I've never heard of any of this and I think you must be oversimplifying. You certainly need a driver's license even if you're going to drive on your lawn or in a parking lot or off the road somewhere, surely? I'll go do my research but there's just no way you can drive a car around private property or something without a license.

> Imagine, for a moment, a car with all of that data that it collects distilled down into a HUD for the driver. Can you honestly tell me that it wouldn't be better than the status quo?

I don't know, it sounds worse. HUDs are distracting and I would certainly be a worse driver personally if I had that in my car. I'm not sure that solution is an automatic improvement in safety.

> There will never be a 100% safe automatic pilot - putting off adding safety features to cars today until we get that perfect system is, to me, really quite silly.

Of course we shouldn't put off features for safety! No way should we do that. But if you have $50 billion to spend on the project, then no way should you not try to build a self-driving car with it. Obviously you can get a safer car with that much R&D capability if directed towards autonomy instead of just adding HUDs and better seatbelts or something.
Great view would love to see some implementations of this.
Though, i still believe it should be some kind of a mix of objective(good for scale) as well as subjective evaluation, because objective evaluation is as good as the questions posed and fails when the competition is stiff. e.g., people getting same marks.

disagree about the spool gun. tig is alot more useful for smaller work and crafts projects. its a stupid choice for structural, but up to 1/2" its fine. and you can do really small work in materials like stainless, brass, Al, cast iron, and bronze. it also requires less prep and cleanup to get a pretty result. (again for non-structural applications)
The thing that scares me about self driving cars is that you won't be able to own one. You will have to buy a "plan"/"subscription" or some such nonsense. Then under the guise of safety they will out-law manual driven cars in order to increase their market share.

This part doesn't match my experience?

"NASA is a waste" is, broadly, a conservative/Republican stance. Almost everyone I've seen outraged about the Tesla launch was noticeably left of the average Democrat. I don't think a narrative of "they hated the public version, now they hate the private version" holds up for the people I've seen.

Granted, there's a second group on the left who hated NASA before and SpaceX now. But that narrative is usually "space exploration is a waste when people are going hungry", with not much concern about public/private status.

Agreed. It does do some magic for you, when your site gets posted on HackerNews, but in practice you still want to maintain at least one permanent host for anything semi-important.
I didn’t agree much of what you had to say, but it was your opinion to express and that’s fine. Did you really have to break down and call people “tool-bags” at the end though? I can promise you it only prevents whatever point you might have from being heard.
I understand, I have exchanged messages with a other person, it was like an email at the end of the week checking up on what happen that week.

I am not sure how to set emails public, I can't see your email, you can contact me at my_hn_id@gmail.com, I am not offended if you don't want to connect so don't worry about me.
But that's the point he's trying to make. A movie about poverty will probably not be a pleasant movie to watch. So don't shove it down people's throats.

Also, the masses are not "predominately affluent", so not sure why you'd choose to describe them like that. The "white" part is unnecessary as well but that's a whole different discussion.
Probably somewhere around the time we can directly connect our brains to computers, Ghost in the Shell style.

Hey there, the on-going 'syncing' state means that the Hearth daemon still processes your changes.

How many files have you tried to add and how big were they?

If that doesn't stop after a while, consider restarting Hearth app.

Regarding the Finder integration, if neither the context menu item to be shown nor the Hearth toolbar button then make sure the Hearth Finder extension is enabled (Visit the System Preferences > Extensions > Finder and enable Hearth) and the restart Finder by option+right clicking the Finder icon in your Dock and selecting 'Relaunch'.

Hope that helps!
Contracts of adhesion are almost universally derided as being quite one sided and shitty to people.
Good feedback, will take that into consideration when writing the next article. I tried to keep it short and to the point, but likely there is some room for more detailed breakdowns.
>It would also explain the buy and sell technique used on Boston Dynamics, Moto, and others.

Boston Dynamics was all Andy Rubin, and it didn't really fit when he left and Robotics collapsed as a result, and Moto was for defensive patents for Android (which they kept).

I haven't followed Zagat, but a sibling comment here mentioned it was Marissa Mayer's doing, so that would fit with the Andy / Boston Dynamics pattern.

There is also a PR disadvantage to feeding the idea that "Google owns everything".

Keywords are of course secondary. Did you miss the "or direct expressions of those concepts" part? I was implying the existence of some boilerplate reducing syntax behind them. With the right features, most patterns vanish. For instance:

// C++98
class Adder {
public:
Adder(int inc) : _inc(inc) {}
int const operator+(int n) { return n + _inc; }

private:
int _inc;
};

// C++11
std::function(int(int)) adder(int inc) {
return [=](int n) { return x + n; };
}

(* Ocaml *)
let adder inc n = inc + n

-- Haskell
adder inc n = inc + n

Assuming currying is a good fit for your problem, you probably don't want to bother with factories, if you can use a language that supports currying directly. Same goes for other patterns: whichever you need suggest what language features you want.

Or you could be content with repeating the same kind of code over and over, but I'm not going to accuse you of such obvious stupidity.
Fair enough, that's one way of looking at it.

I was personally more struck by how the boys socioeconomic status forced upon him this unpredictable, drifting lifestyle, without opportunity for putting down roots and develop deep relationships. At the end where he doesn't have a home to go back to. I think that this is viewed predominantly as "kind of normal" in the USA and it's really sad. I don't think it's healthy. No man is an island we need roots and community to make us whole.

It's interesting that you should pick on the "poor white saviour mom" when it's clear she is the only strong character in the film besides the boy. She is the only person looking out for his interests, and that too is sad.

The industry decided to vacuum up every last little bit of data they could get their hands on. They've very much already been proven guilty. This is now probation for the industry.
It's too much boilerplate. In my current project, I have to describe one action 7 times:

1. The constant var `const ACTION_NAME = ...`
2. The constant's value `... = Symbol('ACTION_NAME')`
3. The "action creator" function `const doAction = arg => ...` (extra creativity to add a verb here?)
4. The action creator's return struct: `... => ({ type: ACTION_NAME, payload: arg })`
5. The reducer switch clause `case ACTION NAME:`
6. The container action to callback mapping `onClickThing: dispatch(doAction(42))`
7: The jsx/component calling the callback `onClick={onClickThing}`

compare that to The Elm Architecture, from which redux is inspired AFAIK. An action only needs to be referenced in 3 places:

1. The tag on the Msg type: `type Msg = ActionName arg | ...`
2. The `case` pattern matcher in the update function
3. The view sending said Msg/action

I feel like this benefit is more theoretical than practical owing to redux devtools, which offers a very similar experience of seeing what's been executed, perhaps even superior in some ways since you can see "everything" that's happening (with respect to the redux store), though you could probably create a similar thing without message passing
I've thought about doing something like that but I'm not sure if the plastic wheels and gear box can handle it, and I'm not sure how much more effort I want to invest in a limited platform. In the situations he's in now, anticipation is just as good as brakes; being able to see that he's going to run into a person or obstacle and slowing down is what I'm aiming for. In a "racing" situation, braking is necessary to slow down from high speed quickly in order to take a corner without losing traction, but the plastic wheels already have so little traction that we would exceed the performance envelope of the wheels before really getting much speed advantage out of it. Probably what I'll do is upgrade to a basic electric kart at the next birthday and leave this car as it is for Sunday driving and/or the next kid (it'll be easy to reduce the power again by reducing the number of batteries)
This is going to sound stupid, but if you can't do hobbies you previously enjoyed are you just never going to find new hobbies?

If you have no in-person interaction that you know you need, are you just never going to go find it? Where do other people get it in your area? Church, probably, since you're rural. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you aren't interested in religion, absolutely hate where you're at, and probably the people, too, but I beg you to call local churches until you find one that can help you attend and where you feel welcomed.
Your point is not relevant to what I am arguing.

High income and high estate taxes exist in the same world as wealth and I think they should be higher than they are now - the wealthy use considerably higher resources than the rest of society, and it requires extreme stability in society to even keep and maintain wealth which people in the US take for granted.

The comment did not say anything of that nature, he's describing a hard cap on wealth.. what would that number be? 1 million? 5? - "limit[ing] the wealth in the first place to ensure that everyone get its share" - this is the ignorance of a mob with torches.

Phones to make 911 calls from and cars for the police to drive over in were built by American entrepreneurs who became wealthy. It's part of the system. They did not take value out of society to become rich at it's expense - they were not perfect, but there was a significant net gain. If Larry Page or Mark Zuckerberg is forced to liquidate 99% of their ownership in their company tomorrow because the guy above me thinks "I want more money, it's not fair he has more than me" to himself and builds a set of quasi-logical ideals around that and those ideas take root, then we begin declining as a society. The system always needs to be re-balanced and kept in check, but having a maximum bank account is not the answer.
'The Wire', though not a movie, was implicitly about American poverty in a drug ecosystem, and predominantly black.

As someone that struggles with this, I've noticed a sort of pattern for those who suffer from loneliness as well. Just some observations from a few of my friends that would identify with loneliness too:

1. We either work from home, or work the night shift. Even working the second shift has had such a detrimental effect in terms of no longer going out for happy hours, never having conversations in passing, and never getting to participate in meetings, interviews, etc. I think it takes a certain person to want to work those hours, and I'm slowly starting to understand why there is a shift differential.

2. Having your own set of friends, not co-workers, and not your signifiant others "friends". Life was far better in College if nothing more than all the friends I had. Now friends are usually co-workers and there isn't such a strong bond.

3. Choosing non-social hobbies. I'd even consider the gym a pretty isolated activity, as most people don't talk there, and it's such a serious environment. I tried crossfit for nothing more than the social aspect of it, and felt it was a much better environment than lifting in the corner with earbuds in.

4. Exercise. Of all the people I've talked to about this, none of them exercised, myself included. I read that it has such huge implications on the makeup of the brain, and have seen the results myself. If I can go a few weeks of actually working out, not just pushups here or there, but actual sweat inducing, blood pumping workouts, the effects cary on into the week. I'd also lump in water in there too, since I've gone months with drinking Soda/RedBull/Coffee. All anecdotal of course.
Ugh, no. Human drivers kill about 1.3 million people per year. Since the second world war, human drivers have killed more people than all wars and genocides put together. This is personal for me: human drivers have murdered far too many of my friends. I can't wait for the world to be rid of them.

Oh, wait, at the bottom of the article, now we're saying that we need an NRA-style lobby for human driving? As in: an ideologically blinkered death cult beholden to narrow corporate interests (in this case, rather than gun manufacturers, car manufacturers dependent on personal ownership of vehicles for their business model) with zero scruples about what sort of body count it facilitates? Is this a parody then?
