> but there's just no way you can drive a car around private property or something without a license.

Yup, sure can. Farmers have been doing this for decades.

> HUDs are distracting and I would certainly be a worse driver personally if I had that in my car.

It's all in the implementation; consider this one: If a car is detected that is at a radically different speed from me, a red box starts to flash around it. I would certainly end up being safer, since it would let me change lanes/slow down long before my eyes and brain could detect such a speed differential. Avoidance becomes a normal maneuver, instead of an emergency maneuver.

> 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.

What if you can't build a self-driving car with $50 billion? With $1 trillion? Should you just walk away while dusting your hands and going "well, we tried"?

Because that's where we are. The current efforts are still ongoing, and have been for decades. Few improvements from them are being distilled into consumer vehicles; we really need more.

Make people safer now, instead of "5 years from now".
Launch HN: Tarjimly (YC W18 Nonprofit) – Realtime Translators for Refugees
Hi HN!

This is Atif and Aziz, co-founders of Tarjimly (https://tarjim.ly) - a nonprofit that allows bilingual speakers to volunteer as translators for the 23 million refugees worldwide using anonymous chat, phone, and video. All for free.

Aziz and I graduated MIT during the Syrian refugee crisis. Our friends and family all told us about the dire situation, but one problem stuck out: refugees desperately struggled to communicate with the medics, lawyers, and aid workers trying to help them. We built Tarjimly as a way to remotely translate by connecting over Facebook Messenger.

A year later, our community of 3000+ volunteer translators has helped over 1500 refugees and aid workers globally.

- Translators come back because it finally gives them a way to do more than just donate money or post online.

- Refugees come back because machine translation (e.g. Google Translate) for refugee languages severely lacks accuracy and situational awareness.

- Aid Workers come back because paid translators are expensive and don't even come close to meeting demand.

We validated these problems by interviewing over 300 refugees and aid workers and doing a 2-week field study in Greece: https://medium.com/@tarjimly/greece-trip-research-reflection...

We built a model to predict translator response based on their previous interactions and ping those who are most likely to respond at the time of request. It takes an average of 90 seconds to get connected to a translator from our passive pool and our current match rate is 92%.

We see Tarjimly growing into an organization that provides micro-volunteerism at macro-scale. We want to work at the front lines of the world's humanitarian needs, in any country that may be. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback and any ideas or experiences you've had in this area. And if you or your friends are bilingual, consider signing up as a translator!

FWIW DDR3 includes 8 banks each of which can execute independently of the others. So there is still parallelism there. DDR4 doubles this to 16.
The heavy lifting done in neural networks is all offloaded to C++ code and the GPU. Very little of the computation time is spent in python.

ASICs will definitely be very helpful, and there's currently a bit of a rush to develop them. Google's TPUs might be one of the first efforts, but several other companies and startups are looking to have offerings too.
and are you saying that gov't would be better at allocating resources to those with greater talents, and/or ideas that would succeed?
"Nobody needs more than 640k memory!"

We don't see the broad adoption of tech that can utilize 1gbps because too few people have it. If everyone had 1gbps Netflix could increase the bandwidth of their streaming, everyone could do live backups of every file they have in realtime anywhere, hell there are more esoteric use cases like WLAN terminals with centralized compute resources. You could run a normal OS perfectly fine over a gbps connection from anywhere that can maintain that link at low latency. You could use remote GPUs and CPUs to accelerate compute on demand.

None of that is possible as long as most Internet users are stuck on two magnitudes less bandwidth. How incredibly shortsighted to think dramatic improvements to performance in any metric are pointless just because we haven't seen the fruits of such improvements already happen yet.
I don't feel I've acted like any of the things you're ascribing to me.

Corporations are not divorced from the people that run them, but the people that run them are divorced from the people they impact by their decisions.

Governments do frequently take advantage of their position. I do not dispute this.

It depends on what kind of copper. DSL suffers from the limits of twisted pairs over medium-long distances, with only about 1100 kHz available. DOCSIS, with its shielded coaxial cable, has much higher bandwidth available, up to 750 MHz.

In practical terms, this means that DSL has already reached its practical limit with speeds around 30-50 Mbps, whereas Cable Internet still has room to grow around 2-4 Gbps, depending on how many TV channels the operator is ready to sacrifice to Internet traffic.

Of course, this doesn't address congestion / oversubscription issues around cable, but assuming a competently managed network, FTTN with coax as the last mile is still a very good choice in 2018.
The author is criticizing a genre of narrative that I like to call "career porn." Consider the similarities between "how I started this company" type stories and actual porn:

* It depicts something everyone fantasizes about and offers a quick if ultimately unsatisfying release. Who doesn't imagine themselves building something amazing and being idolized by magazines and the general public?

* It happens in an unrealistic sort of magical fairy land, often in the founder's own hazy, romanticized recollections of their past.

* It only shows beautiful companies/people. You don't need to found a space exploration company to be happy just like you don't need to be with a model.

* It offers no real guidance for how to achieve what it's depicting, leaving viewers confused at best and frustrated at worst. This article touches on the fact that people seem to think all they need is an idea, when that's not what it takes.

* It's most popular with those who are either frustrated with their careers/romantic lives, or are otherwise trying to satisfy a need they feel isn't being met. This one is a little shaky because plenty of people enjoy actual porn in healthy ways, so forgive me for the stretch.

The comparisons go on and on. How healthy your relationship with each is depends on how much exposure to the realities of each field you have had and how mature you are as a person/profession.

One in a thousand perhaps? Not really a relevant percentage for the whole discussion.
Is it? Perhaps the headline should be "Why You Should Ignore THIS Founder’s Story About How They Started Their Company"

I feel like if the author is going to make a broad generalization about founding stories, he should use more than 1 example. I don't count Netflix as one of his examples because he simply says "That didn’t actually happen." So to combat Reed saying this is how I started Netflix... the author just says "no" without any proof. Who am I going to believe? The founder or a blogger?
Either someone told me, or I read somewhere in a book, about how these things are called "business lies" and that it is supposedly OK to do in the name of making money

No harm no foul if everyone feels better about themselves right?

I don't completely agree with this argument, but...

All of that money came from somewhere. Do you wonder why most of your local retailers went out of business, and you can't visit a local bookstore or camera shop anymore? It's related to why Jeff Bezos has so much money that he has nothing better to do than shoot stuff into space. Preferably, he will shoot bigger stuff farther than Elon Musk, Richard Branson, or Paul Allen.

It could also be used somewhere else. Is shooting suicidal volunteers at Mars really the best use of billions of dollars?

And by saying "most people", you make a weak man argument - since you can sideline and ignore the people who are advocating for taking away manual driving options (ironically a sibling comment).

And the sibling comment is hardly a tiny minority - you can see them popping up all over the place in the comments on such articles, not to mention the Waymos and Ubers of the world.
Thank you for the story.

Your grandpa was lucky to have lived through it. The Japanese were preparing to execute all slave prisoners of war in anticipation of the main island campaigns.[1] I think if the nukes had waited another month or two there would have been tens of thousands of allied POWs that never would have made it home.

I second the Wendy and Lucy rec. I saw it not long after first reading Scalzi's Being Poor [1] and it really made everything concrete.

It's a tough sell in some ways - "girl loses dog, girl finds dog, the end" - but oh-so-worth-it.

He was a Dutch imperialist fighting Japanese imperialists, and also collateral damage for United States imperialists. Into the 70s, he ended up retiring in the United States, while his brother who also fought alongside him, ended up becoming a Dutch diplomat in Japan. Why did they do it? For the pension, of course. Can't sustain pensions without wealthy governments.

Well it however come with a big con, you become dependent of a third party implementation with dependencies and specifics rules whereas sms is amongst the most used and understood communication standard.

This blog post publicise Microsoft implementation but it’s the same problematic for every possible GAFAM specific solution.

Apple approach to include a secure and synced password manager in all their product is far more standard friendly approach imho.
> Art is a two way street. Besides, EVERYTHING you do has a responsibility, an echo.

The parent is not disagreeing imo, just that an artist feels their art/message is their primary responsibility and a financiers primary responsibility is making money. Just as someone else's responsibility might be showcasing poverty or delivering a political message. Most of these basis are covered as the "art" market is very large.

> You can make a joke about Holocaust and say "hey, the purpose is to entertain" and expect not to offend people?

I don't understand this analogy with relation to the parent post.

> I think it's a good thing these issues are brought up.

I also believe this. I think it is important we question the status quo and convention to assess what has value. I agree with the parent comment that after these questions I came to a similar conclusion.

Ask HN: When should you reinvent the wheel?
My statement may appear thick headed without context. However, I am simply repeating a feminist talking point. It is not my opinion or belief that there are no differences between men and women. It is the feminists who argue that!

Also, I think it is a gross oversimplification to equate "masculine traits" with being an "alpha male" caricature. The article specifically talks about assertiveness and agreeableness.

Women, on average, score lower on assertiveness and higher on agreeableness. Why? It could simply be upbringing and societal pressures. But then why shouldn't women simply aim to be more assertive, through training and self-improvement, rather than deride this personality trait as "alpha male" and "to be avoided"?

High levels of testosterone are associated with assertiveness. So men, on average, end up being more assertive. Upbringing and societal pressures probably skew that even further. But, being a male, I wasn't given a golden ticket to success. I am still learning how to be assertive and at the same time non-confrontational. I recognize it as beneficial trait though. A trait that will contribute to my life success.
What does this have to do with my comment?
Minorities dominate popular culture, but armchair directors complain that there is not enough representation, exactly the cherry picking I described.

But, ok, let's go there. Where is my equal representation, as, say, a first generation Austrian Jewish immigrant with an anxiety disorder? Oh, and, I also demand that you portray my story in a positive light, as a powerful superhero, because apparently in this country positive role models can only come in the form of contrived, violent crime fighters.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry, did you presume that, because I am white, my particular socioeconomic status and history have been satisfactorily represented? Should I be screaming about how unfair Hollywood has been to me and my heritage for simply not being inclusive of my particular successes and problems? Where does one draw the line?

Perhaps it is up to us to learn to find and identify parallels where they exist, and not demand that a superficially homogeneous majority accommodate to each minority. Not to mention the problem with presumed outrage not on other minorities' behalfs.

Don't you think it a bit dangerous to teach children that they can only find inspiration and parallels in cinema if the protagonist looks and speaks like they do? Shouldn't we be teaching the opposite, as I could swear I learned growing up in the 90s and 00s?
After reading through USDA certification and compliance material, I do see limitations on what chemicals can be used. Approved chemicals may be allowed in some cases, but the producer must have a plan that limits the use of them and have a documented multi-step process to ensure that they are only used as a last resort. Plus, they must have detailed documentation available when and if they were used.

Here’s the list of allowed chemicals. It’s a short list. And, I’m ok with more being used, since most look harmless (e.g. ethanol, lye).

I always put a `pending` property on the `meta` object, and any component that needs to show network status can just check that property on every render cycle. Aside from requiring some extra utility functions in the reducers to prevent having to updating `pending` for every state of the request it's rock solid and I haven't ever encountered a situation where it wouldn't work. You can get a _lot_ of mileage out of conforming to the FSA standard[1]; network status goes in meta, and errors are always handled the same way.

YouTube's suggested videos is a tire fire, they suggest stuff I'm not remotely interested in and wouldn't watch at all.
I mean my interests aren't hard to profile, engineering videos, chess videos and programming stuff.

Hell Yes!

For some very strange reason watching a bit of Periodic Videos and Numberphile made YouTube think I was interested in batshit conspiracy theories and some “KingOfRamdom” twit. Thrown in there is a ton of viral “Let’s see if this explodes?” and “You’ll never guess what happens next!” tripe.

I watched some really good CNC videos, very technical, and I was flooded with recommendations to watch a guy apply women’s makeup. I can’t even begin to imagine the connection.

Nothing on this project solves the real problems and introduces different ones, like how to have a reducer respond to different actions.
My quibble with React is that when you get into moderately complicated forms, you start sprinkling stuff all over the place to get the desired output.
Take for instance the most popular form library, redux-form. It's very heavy on it's own way of doing things, and there's a lot of stuff you have to know about it to be able to read into what the hell is going on, and it's hard to keep shit in the same place.
Reselect is also very heavy handed for what it does. I NEVER needed anything like reselect before redux, and it kinda went alright!
In my experience, for any reasonable development with redux you have to introduce:
reselect, redux-form, thunk, some sort of immutability (immutable or redux-orm), a sprinkle of compromises and plenty of boilerplate, or roll your own magic util functions (i actually rolled my own very similar stuff to rematch, for quick and dirty stuff).
When you summarise all that, it's really not that simple anymore!
By the time you get through all of that, you might aswell pick up angular with the added benefit of clearer best practices, nicer dependency injection (oh, but react calls it context so it's cooler!), familiarity and type safety.

It's kinda funny how redux succeeded with such heavy concepts, which is normally not the case. This is still a mistery to me.

The mainstream news is the one that is complicit in the spread of dangerous Conspiracy theories such as: "Saddam was behind 9/11 and has Weapons of Mass Destruction!"

Boom. 10,000's of US soldiers dead and many more crippled.

Infowars has more often than not been right on important matters.
Is Alex Jones over the top? Of course!

Are their Chem Trails and other conspiracy theories "out there"? You bet!

But look up MK Ultra on Wikipedia and other programs that the US/CIA ran and you will realize that truth is stranger and much more dangerous than the "conspiracy theories and the penis pills" that Alex Jones is talking about.

At least those Penis pills aren't like the Opiates and depression medication that kills 10's of thousands a year that MSNBC, Fox, CNN et al peddle.

Use your ability to think: this is an information war and the MSM is the most dangerous kind of "fake news" and they are fighting tooth and nail to be the ones allowed to define their competing broadcasters as "fake" (since Infowars is now becoming huge)

Hey, good luck. The hard thing about recommending hobbies to strangers is that one don't know them so the only chance to guess is to project what I like. Moreover your issue is not lack of hobby, but being alone in the house due to logistic reasons.

When I was lonely and isolated (less then you), arguing on the Internet helped. It is not same as real communication and friends, but it more then nothing. Keeps you from loosing it entirely. Writing is communication too, altrough less effective.

Another weird thing was that when I finely had chance to communicate, it was tiring because I basically forgot how to do it. If that happens to you too, that is ok and normal. Don't get discouraged when talk won't go smoothy (as I did).

I wish you good luck, that something around you shows up.
This only sounds like it would work if each state had some kind of physical and cultural separation. We already see in Illinois how state level gun control is failing. It doesn’t matter how strict Illinois sets its gun laws, they still pour in from the lax neighbors.

If we want to let human rights choices be set at the state level, we need to provide some kind of subsidized “get out of dodge” program for the people negatively affected by the state level decisions, as those people are usually the poorest and least mobile. Can you imagine trying to sell “your taxes are going to pay for moving gay people to California/NY” to the constituents in dark red states?
I think reinventing the wheel is only worth it when you are trying to learn some core details.

If your goal is to launch something, you are better off using something that already exists.
A thunk action `fetchData` would return a `(dispatch, getState) => {}` function. You call that with `getState` that would return your fixtures, and verify that `dispatch` gets called as expected. For API, I use jest and mock out imported functions.
