So the speed limit on Mill Avenue, where the crash took place is 35 mph. The uber was traveling at 40 mph. The reason Mill’s speed limit is 35 instead of 45 (like most Arizona’s major roads) is because it’s got much heavier pedestrian traffic than typical.

If an autonomous vehicle cannot detect pedestrians crossing a slower-than-typical road with enough time to at least not kill them, it shouldn’t be on the road. If that means uber can’t drive autonously at night, too bad for them.

To be fair, the law currently is very permissive to drivers, and a human may not have been deemed at fault. Despite going 40 in a 35 zone, when (due to reduced visibility) they actually should have been going 25. You are supposed to go only as fast as you can stop, given current visibility. Regardless of the speed limit.
yeah came here to say this. Huli seems to be pretty much the same as english except base-15 instead of base-10. It even has the special case of the second 10 or 15 being different in form from the rest of the numbers.

edit: actually it seems like the Huli system is more uniform than English. It doesn't switch up the word order after 15. So it's "15 and 1 ..." whereas english goes "3 and 10.." and then "2x10 and 1..."
Well you have to master differently for a vinyl. At least you have to take it into consideration when mastering for digital and vinyl.

So it is possible to sound differently to the digital signal. The phono amplifier has to do some filtering, so this influences the sound too.

All in all records are a pretty bad medium for conserving music nowadays.. but for many people the experience is the most important thing.
Who cares about the posted limit? If you can’t see in front of you well enough to avoid obstacles in time, you are going too fast by definition.
At this point we are targeting other SaaS businesses who already know what Customer Success is, why it's important and what their goals are. They are definitely the "low-hanging fruit".

We don't really have the resources to go after/educate other businesses about the benefits (but there are many). In time we'll broaden our marketing a bit and try and bring Customer Success to the masses.
Hedge-fund managers that do the most research will post the best returns
To me, objects is a data abstraction technique which is about abstracting the
said data under a set of operations known as the interface; You are no more
thinking about the data but about the operations which then allows all kind of
interface abstraction techniques known as design patterns. Once you break that
abstraction, you break everything which is relying on.

Even for small classes where there is no design pattern involved, it is important
to think about the interface first then the data. take for example, a rectangle,
you may think (g/s)etters would be pointless and be tempted to do

class Rectangle:
public x, y, w, h;

public Rectangle(x, y, w, h):
this.x = x;
...

Then you need the area

class Rectangle:
...
public area():
return w * h;

Then you need to cache the area

class Rectangle:
public x, y, w, h, cached_area;

public Rectangle(w, h):
this.w = w;
this.h = h;
cached_area = w * h;

public area():
return cached_area;

Problem here is that w and h being public, user can corrupt the area, you now need
to rely on (s/g)etters.

class rectangle
...
private w;

public setWidth(w):
this.w = w;
updateArea();

private updateArea():
cached_area = w * h;

If you had start with an interface only having operations, you would never had that problem.

interface Rectangle:
getX();
setX(x);
getWidth();
setWidth(w);
area();
...

// implementations are irrelevant to the user.
class RectangleCached implements Rectangle:
...

class RectangleLazy implements Rectangle:
...

class RectangleWhatever implements Rectangle:
...

One of the great leaps in OO is to be able to answer the question "How does this work?" with

Note that another solution in this case would be immutability but this is another discussion.

Couldn't one have said the same about those annoying self-plugging Spotify ads on Spotify advertising Spotify premium? I haven't heard them lately, but they were like 30 seconds of a recorded cricket chirping. It seems like a common tactic. Youtube wants to lock in MRR.
It certainly doesn't for me....could you possibly share your uBlock config on pastebin?
act on data instead of baseless silly preconceptions, like the one you opened your comment with ;)
> well organized people who will kill before being disarmed.

The collective noun for people who will kill rather than obey the law is "terrorists".

One of the conditions for peace in Northern Ireland was that political groups had to disarm in order to enter politics, because you can't do politics with people who are threatening to murder you. That's not a democracy.

no... it's a glorified comment chain. no different then posting a comment on an open wordpress blog where everyone can submit a post.
In this case I would separate the data (probably the model the text field is wrapping) from the UI widgets that expose it... the model being a dumb struct and the text field being a smart object with methods that look (if you squint) more like getters/setters.

But that’s just the thing, the text field in this case isn’t something you’d ever confuse with a dumb struct... it has methods that accept key input, or disable/enable it, or calculate its clipping area, etc. I don’t look at these as “getters” or “setters”, but instead just methods on an object like any other.

It may seem like I’m shifting the goalpost here and I’m sorry, I really do have trouble articulating this, but getters/setters seem like an anti pattern to me precisely because they let the consumer think they’re just dumb properties (along with invariants like the data you get out matching the data you put in, which you can never actually assume) when they’re anything but.
Filing 'broad' patents is pretty typical. I see that they have 119 patents under the Theranos name. To think of all the work and cooperation that obtaining those patents required, is pretty mind-boggling if in fact it was all bogus. If this is the massive fraud that is being alleged by journalists (and the SEC), then it would require a massive conspiracy to effectuate it. To only hold the CEO accountable in a case like this seems to be lacking resolution. There are other bad actors here that need to be held accountable, much as in Enron. I'm sure many (guilty & innocent) employees are paying a financial price but it appears that more could be done on the consequences side of things.
TFA has a section on Assyrian, but that's a decimal system, which made me wonder where the sexagesimal came from. It appears that although Assyrian and earlier Akkadian were written in cuneiform, they are Semitic languages that adopted their writing system from the otherwise unrelated Sumerian language, and apparently didn't bother to adapt the numerals to the decimal system.

There's nothing to solve. Bandcamp is for finding music you'd probably never hear on radio or streaming.

Here's what you can do:

1: Find one album you like.

2: Click through the profiles of people who bought it (those icons under the album cover).

3: See what else they like.

You can also check out Bandcamp's blog and click through the tags on posts for genres you like: https://daily.bandcamp.com/
One data point: it is not bad at all. I use Firefox as my primary browser(having used chrome on and off for many years) and it works well for almost everything. There are occasional sites that don't behave with ff and for those I go to chrome. Even the andoid version is not bad (the only problem is that is is harder to avoid chrome due to smaller issues with websites).
I totally see it your way, that conscious experiences are just (internal) behaviour.
But I don't think that conscious experience itself creates the model of itself and the rest. It merely views or recalls or traverses it. It certainly also has some kind of influence. But I like to seperate it from the unconscious rest that happens.
Krita is centered around digital illustration and painting. It can't really compete with Photoshop's advanced computer vision features like healing brush, quick selection tool and 3d panorama editing. But if you just need to do some color correction and light airbrushing, it can be used instead of Photoshop.

Also, if you can put up with the UI for the plugin, the G'MIC filters contain some cool stuff. You can do frequency separation and content aware fill.

they could go after advertizers doing business in Belgium. They could go after their payment processor. They could involve EU authorities.
Yeah, they've solved the problem brilliantly for people who either don't want record company involvement (and I don't blame them) or would never get a record deal (me). But it will only ever be a supplier of niche(ish) content.
I've often thought that what software projects need is some equivalent of a balance sheet and P&L report - "assets" and "liabilities" together with "income" and "expenditure" equivalents.

Looking at technical debt in isolation and always regarding it as a bad thing always seemed simplistic to me.
How Email Marketing Managers Can Qualify the Best Leads for Sales
So Reddit is banning "paid services including physical sexual contact".

Does that mean people will no longer be able to sell their used panties on Reddit? It would be a tragic loss to the internet if this was the case. /s
Well, first, I really want an explanation of how "laying off older workers (even the ones who have kept up to date on technology) makes good economic sense". All I see is poor engineering and technology churn for stuff that was a solved issue years ago. If we are actually to become an engineering discipline we really need to start valuing experience. I really don't think the throw-away culture we have is going to work when so much of our lives start requiring software to work or someone gets killed.
Regarding GPU, they have only said - "The ESE achieves higher energy efficiency
than GPU, but its performance is lower and it cannot operate in real time"

So maybe we can assume the performance is quite fast - as compared to the GPU they used in ESE, and this work can operate in real time?
Expressing what you did during your break without discomfort would demonstrate a confidence in your skillset.

A person like that comes out as someone who knows what he knows. and hence can take risks.

on the downside, most HR folks never get this. so sending resume/CV has lower chances of conversion.

A better way I have found is to go referral way. Find people or network with people in space and get referrals. Have them connect me directly with hiring manager. This opens up channel for discussion.

All the best. Hang in there!
In my early 50s, I am now squarely in the "older tech worker" community but I have always viewed employment as an agreement between two parties. I provide work, they provide compensation. Every two weeks they pay me, fund my other benefits as per the employment agreement, and we're even. I have never looked at an employer as somebody who owed me anything beyond that, nor do I owe them any particular loyalty beyond what we agreed to.
I only buy music on bandcamp these days. Usually 200-300 Euros a month, because I know the artists get most of the share.
I really really really must be needy for some song that I go to beatport or some other service. I find it unbearable to pay extra for flac - seriously, bandwidth and storage is so cheap these days, 1.5 Euro extra for flac - absurd.

Secondly, I'm a DJ and even if I would not be able to hear the difference, there are people with certain hear impairments in which the psychoanalytic model does not fit. It's my job to bring the best possible sound quality.

But I hardly buy physical media anymore, it's just using up space of something I don't use and with the saved buck I just buy more music :)

My backup is done through git annex and my library is duplicated over many PCs and harddrives - it works quite well and I'm able to carry only a part of the library but still see everything. A simple "git annex get ..." will get the requested files. My girlfriend has my library as well and when I add new files, a quick "git annex sync [...]" will update her copy as well.

Also, a significant fraction of homeless will probably not be able to effectively use the money without a support structure in place. It's very likely a good sum of that money would wind up in the wrong hands and help no-one.
By the same logic it would make economic sense to euthanize old or sick people too... I think we need to start looking at building systems where most people have a reasonable path to get education, health care, affordable housing and retirement without having to win the lottery or get lucky in some other way. We can't just look at short term profits and throw away people once they are a little older. It just won't work in the long run.
> To clarify, something that is 'summoned' is ordered.

That is an overly narrow definition; “summoned” is broader than “ordered”.

Google's excellent, OED-based search-integrated dictionary has, as the first definition of “summon”, “authoritatively or urgently call on (someone) to be present, especially as a defendant or witness in a law court”; you seem to want to limit the term to cases where the call is made authoritatively but not those where it is merely made urgently.
Poor cupofjoakim - you've been accused of being envious (and, implicitly, being unable to afford booze and cigars), immature and more.

Yet it's true that the article has zero informative content, as millionaires are throwing parties every day, and it reads like a piece of PR or advertising.
It's a valid question. If we had something like phasers instead of firearms, I'd be more than happy to use those exclusively. The problem is we don't really have a good alternative. Tasers that shoot tend to be one shot solutions, and even then they don't always bring down targets, or they might prove as lethal. Rubber bullets you can fire multiple of, but they could cause serious damage too, especially if shot in succession, and there is no guarantee of taking the target down. There just isn't a solid alternative right now.
I have my doubts. It's not rocket science to introduce a mechanism which lets the advertisers choose what kind of videos are acceptable for their ads to appear in.

Don't like guns or beer? Tell Youtube not to displays the add on guns/beer related videos. Problem solved. Same goes for Reddit. Would advertisers care that there is gun related subreddit their ad never appear on?

I feel the decision is ideological and will hopefully hurt them in the long term.

Considering the amount of food, by weight, a human consumes over a year only two pounds of pesticides is an incredibly efficient use as far as my experience. I’m impressed. I probably have to use a half pound per year for my small vegetable garden which might feed me for a month if I had a really good season.

Whatever I am saying I have no "scientific proof" but I come from a traditional family of meditators. We have history of monks and sanyasis in my family who in their prime youth just went to jungle and meditated and died their just sitting. If you come to east India, you will find many small shrines built at places where my ancestors died.

Whatever @nsouth has said is correct. What Westerners call Yoga are actually Asanas. What I want to add is a warning that is passed in my family from generation to generation. If you are a materialistic and sexual person dont try to do exercises that will arisen the Kundalini. If you are are materialistic and sexual Raja Yoga is not for you. Have a good life(marry, earn and be a force of good in society(what we would traditionally call Dharma)), you can definitely do Asanas and even meditation but you should never ever start a practise that specifically targets Kundalini. In breathing exercise, you can do all breathing exercises sans the retention part. I have no proof or logic behind this warning but I just stated what has been stated in my family for ages.
You complaining about all this is rich. You are the moderator of r/Ask_the_Donald, and banned me from there for having the audacity to point out an inaccuracy in one of your comments.

This isn’t a highway. Mill Avenue is one of Tempe’s most pedestrian-trafficked major roads. And it has a slow 35mph speed limit, and is well lit (much better lit than the dash cam shows), because so many pedestrians cross it.

Sure, and credit cards can be a good thing, too. The problem is that most non-technical and formerly-technical project managers just charge everything to their credit cards and don't even know they own debt and are making interest payments on it.

When that's the level of awareness the average development team is dealing with, there's limited practical purpose in exploring the nuances of healthy debt management. It's more useful to talk about technical debt like nutritionists talk about empty calories and transfats.
I make one "Container" per account, and then visit the page in question and tick "Always open in $CONTAINER_NAME. Then when you sign into Facebook, any other domain won't get the cookie.

Then get Cookie AutoDelete, tick "Enable Support for Firefox's Container Tabs", and whitelist the cookies you need to sign into those sites.

Combined with uBlock Origin it's the best setup I've found so far, though Firefox Quantum destroys my MacBook's battery.

I used to have Safari and Safari Technology Preview to keep good battery life, with only one browser signed into Google, FB and others but I still noticed some searches into the non-signed in browser leaking to FB - I have a feeling the two browsers share some state.

If anybody knows an improvement for Firefox's battery usage on macOS I'd love to hear!

What happened with digg and MySpace? They were too big to fail too but what happened was that more attractive places occurred and people went to them.

I'm proposing that an exodus of non toxic people from place A to place B makes place B less toxic. Now I don't think we will see the alternatives improve overnight but if things carry on along this road then we will see it.
> I was reckless and wrote papers unrelated to my dissertation and submitted without going through my advisor.

This is the opposite of reckless, this is how you make a name for yourself, and how you prove that you can develop an independent research agenda. As you say, it's good for your career, and it's good for science too (if the work is good, of course). Good for you!

THere are several lanes free with plenty of room for the car to pass without issue. I think the pedestrian assumed this was just an inconsiderate driver not slowing down and driving around me... as there is no way on earth that a human would ever have hit her! the video is totally unrepresentative, and if it was representative then the car should have been doing half the speed.
Agreed. I've seen teams use no metrics. And I've seen teams use one or two metrics. I haven't seen management deal with complexity like a professional analyst for a pro sports club would: with a range of different metrics to inform human judgements.

I know next to nothing about submarine dynamics, but I am an RC plane pilot, and it looks to me like this fish swims in a constant stall. If it was a plane, I'd be inclined to say that its center of gravity was too far back.

The video states that it can control its own bouyancy, yet it looks like it's constantly fighting to swim level instead of sinking. If it could achieve a neutral bouyancy then I bet it would glide along much more like a real fish.
Yeah, one could draw a tight spiral in any of the open spaces of unbounded length. But "discretization" is probably a good angle to interpret it, since such a counterexample would be discretized to a point.
Wrong. Many good Lables release 24 bit mastering quality flac releases, better as CD.
But, to hear a difference, you really need highest quality equipment and even then, depends on the sound.

I hear the different of flac vs mp3 on my Shure SRH 940 and some other high quality headphones. On medium quality speakers I don't.
The law asserts justice, it does not protect against negligence in the moment it is happening. In the case of crossing the road, with a many thousand pound hunk of metal vs a human being, the human will overwhelmingly bear the brunt of the immediate harm.

It seems pretty obvious to me that being a mindful pedestrian is simply a matter of self preservation

Running a Kubernetes cluster across multiple regions is not a great idea. You can set up a federation of clusters, but GKE doesn't seem to support that yet, so you need to create and manage the federated control plane yourself. And there's no standard way at the moment to have generic cross-cluster networking, like you easily could with Borg. So you can load balance external requests to a number of clusters, as you explain, but currently it's easier if each cluster is self-sufficient and doesn't need to refer to internal services in other clusters.
