You're missing the (admittedly comfy) narrative that the other tech companies are being diligent and careful while Uber are a bunch of cowboys rushing alpha code out into public, who only change stuff when they get caught. The autocar fan's worst nightmare.
Cheese specifically isn't the issue at hand, but French cheese producers are one of many beneficiaries of French agricultural subsidies, but I don't see how anyone could argue that the relatively inefficient production of cheese has strategic value in the sense that you'd need to feed an otherwise starving population cheese.

You'd instead at the very least just have them drink the milk directly, but more efficiently either consume the corn the cows are eating, or grow something in the grass fields the cows are using that people could eat directly.

Then there's the unrelated question of whether these subsidies aren't causing a net harm on the environment in France. I don't know about that, I'm just pointing out that the argument for agricultural subsidies due to national security concerns doesn't hold up if it's being used to defend anything resembling current subsidies.

That's before we even get to discussing how implausible that argument is to begin with. OK, maybe France and other EU countries would need to strategically make sure they don't become reliant on the likes of China, Russia etc. for food imports.

But it makes no sense these days that France would need to be concerned that they couldn't just largely import food from Spain and Italy, who have onerous EU-imposed production quotas due to French agricultural lobbying, even though it's more efficient to produce the food there in many cases.

In the case a a limited tactical war, that is a good possibility.

For a global war, perhaps in the short term there may well be fewer casualties, but then potentially a lot more 'survivors' to suffer over the next weeks/months/years.

Would you want to try and scrabble for survival following a large scale nuclear attack, or be vaporised at the start. I certainly know my preference.

Let me clear: im completely against these bannings specifically. It looks like a very political move and it came out of nowhere without any warning to the subreddit mods, volunteers who make reddit what it is.

Having said that, I still don't buy the argument that this will have some sort of larger negative impact on the reddit community. Reddit is way too large for some niche subreddits to actually matter in the big picture.
C'mon, that's a joke.

LA is a city, it has less than 4 million people on 470 sq mi of land, New York is a city and has more than 8 million people on 300 sq mi of land. NY is is 3.5x more dense than LA (28k vs 8k per sq mi).

LA just isn't very dense. Look at either the data or the pictures.

What you did was reference a source that looks at places that in a way that nobody talks about. i.e. comparing arbitrary statistical areas which take some high-density location, then put it in a statistical area with a quarter of the state which is extremely low-density rural area.

Feel free to look at the data:
This is sort of what you look at when you take LA data.
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/31000US31080-los-angeles...

And then compare it to something like this for NY, density of 1.7k:
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/33000US408-new-york-newa...

Which is nonsensical in the ordinary sense of the word NY. Rather, use this, density 28k:
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US3651000-new-york-...

Or say Manhatten or Kings County, 70k and 35k density, respectively:
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/05000US36061-new-york-co...
https://censusreporter.org/profiles/05000US36047-kings-count...

LA just isn't very dense, nor are most cities in and around LA. 9 of the 10 most dense places in the US are in the NY MSA, including NY itself. The other 1 is in California called Maywood. It's the densest place in the US, outside of NY, and it has only 27 thousand people and its still less dense than NY's 8 million people.

I suppose it all depends on how much user attrition you would say constitutes a "mass exodus." How many millions of former users would that be? Or what percentage from what high-point? By these following reports, there's been a mass exodus in terms of usage among the much-sought-after teenage demographic, and that's been happening from Facebook to Snapchat for at least two years now:

1. If a company is doing voluntary layoffs they're probably not doing well. Usually the people who are more likely to find a new job, or otherwise more motivated, are more likely to take the package, so company loses best people. So just on general principle I would take the package.

2. Never consider just two options; minimum of three is much better. For example, you could get another job in US and pursue your ideas part time.

3. For your ideas, do some research. "Having an idea" in no way translates into success. Do you have evidence there's a market? Have you listened to potential customers? "Here's my idea, is it good" is not listening, everyone will say "yeah great idea" even if they don't care, just to be polite. Idea that comes from "I am an expert in this market and know their problems" is very different from idea that is "here's a random thing in an industry I know nothing about".

By bets are on minor blip. Every large company is going through a shitstorm every once in a while. Now it's FB's turn. The media loves this and pushes the matter as much as possible as it translates directly into clicks (and therefore revenue).

My bet is nobody's going to talk about this incident 6 months from now and FB's stock price will have more than recovered.

>lawmakers need to have some kind of framework in place to deal with any incidents that arise. With a human behind the wheel..

The framework should have been in place before these vehicles were ever put on the roads. For example, there should have been some formally specified tests for a self driving vehicle before it can be put be on the road, even with a back up driver..

> a fully autonomous car is legally no different to cruise control - it's just a driver assist, and the human behind the wheel is still ultimately responsible for whatever the vehicle does.

Any thing that does not require drivers to keep their hands on the wheel is not a driver assist. It IS the driver. So there should be tests that make sure of the competence of the tech that is in the drivers seat.

I don't know how people let this happen!

I didn't mention getters at all. I agree that encapsulation status remains constant in the presence of either setter methods or direct mutation, i.e. broken.
To all that say it's not the fault of the driver (be it human or computer) please, remember, that for every collision there is many, many near misses that were avoided because the driver was paying attention and took necessary actions to avoid collision regardless of whether he had or had not the right of way.

The right of way is not a permission to plow into other road users.

What if your kid jumps suddenly on the street, would you be ok if the driver excercised his right of way?

If AIs are allowed to drive they are expected to perform to avoid collisions (and especially with slow moving objects like pedestrians). This was supposed to include devices like lidars which were supposed to perform better than human driver could hope to do.

The added information and reaction time was supposed to offset relative dumbness of the driver.

Now we are learning that the car is only operating on what seems a visual spectrum camera and doesn't seem to be reacting in a simplest situation and the driver isn't even looking at the road.

So the car was supposed to start breaking IMMEDIATELY the threat is recognized. I don't see hard braking on the video. I see a human driver taking her eyes from what seems to be a phone to recognize the situation and NO DECELERATION THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT.

Shame on you, Uber.
I don't disagree with you, but it's also hard to ignore that this makes for an uncomfortable position for the Brexiteers.
I have trouble articulating this point, but I never understood the argument why you’d want getters or setters at all.

From my point of view, your data structures are your API. Attempting to hide them behind methods so that you can do something clever doesn’t work when it’s not always you that constructs the data (I’m thinking of things like json deserialization and accepting data from outside your control.).

All the arguments behind getters and setters seem rooted in this fear that maybe you’ll change your mind later about your data, but somehow you won’t have to change the function signatures of your getters/setters when that happens... this seems so contrived to me it’s insane to design entire frameworks and paradigms with this as a central idea.

Maybe I’ve been using Go for a bit too long now but I really think the mixing of data and logic is a fundamental mistake.

The most hilarious scenario is the suggestion that he was actually doing an arms deal with bad guys who were planning on assassinating some Saudi nearby. The arms deal went wrong so they murdered him and to cover that up they shot up a crowd. Which you know, makes more sense than walking away or buying your guns in the desert anywhere within 100 miles around there.

The easier thing to believe is the guy loved guns and decided to kill people. You can't keep up that rate of fire no matter how many mags you've got, that's why he had multiple weapons.

I'd love to hear an explanation that isn't crazy and actually has some evidence behind it, but otherwise Hanlon's Razor and all...
Per the Reddit regulations, item 6:

Thats the right answer. Have immutable classes with constructor-injected fields, and getters. In Java Lombok makes this scalable to many members using the builder pattern, and in Kotlin its a non-issue anyway.
comparing aggregate rates of household formation vs housebuilding doesn't tell you very much as household formation is dependent on housing supply.

in the absence of supply constraints, if the price goes up this creates an incentive to build more houses, which will balance out any increased demand. there is also good research that shows supply constraints do matter in the UK - http://personal.lse.ac.uk/hilber/hilber_wp/Hilber_Vermeulen_...

> It's not censorship, it's moderating your platform.

On the contrary, it's literally censorship. It's moderation through censorship.

> I can't really see how you can complain if they decide that they don't want to deal with your content anymore.

I don't find this line of thinking convincing. It's certainly appropriate to criticize moderation policies of platforms. If YouTube decided to censor videos on how to use condoms, #BlackLivesMatters, "conspiracies" about governments reading everyones' emails, or opinions on the Damore firing, criticism would be entirely warranted.
As far as I can tell:

- Belgium sued in 2015 and won.

- Facebook appealed and won in 2016 with that appeals court declaring it didn't have jurisdiction

- Belgium appealed to a higher court and won with a recent verdict in Feb. 2018. FB said it would comply with the law but also intends to appeal.
For anyone mislead by the headline, the misguided bit is the way the war on childhood lead exposure is being conducted, not the war itself.

Everyone knows where the biggest problems are. There are whole neighborhoods of older housing with peeling lead paint. In many cases honest cost-benefit analysis would say it is cheaper in the long run to tear out/tear down/semipermanently seal up the hazardous buildings. The society costs in medical, prison, and assistance over the lifetime of the poisoned children are less than the cost to fix the root cause.

So why don't we have a giant lead paint superfund tearing down or safely refurbishing the hazardous housing before it debilitates more kids?

I think the major issue is perceived fairness. Government paying owners to tear down or refurbish housing would look like an unfair give-away to the owners. Requiring all owners to abate lead hazards without payment looks like an unfair take-away from owners.

Paying for families to live in safe housing looks like an unfair give-away to the families. (How to make it fair for the families who would have never considered living an unsafe place vs the ones who considered it and are now paid to live elsewhere?)

And neither the owners of unsafe properties nor the families living there are groups with much political clout.

I guess in a few more decades the fraction of remaining housing stock with lead hazards may become small enough that it becomes politically feasible to address the problem directly. Until then, more of the half-hearted effoet that addresses problems on a case-by-case basis only after kids are permanently impaired.

Ask HN: What are good computer science papers for fierce debate?
There are countless lists of top computer science papers. Such papers typically describe an elegant solution with clarity. However, they settle the problem so well that they do not lend themselves to fierce discussion and debate.

What are good computer science papers that do spark discussion and debate?

I am thinking about the way that a novel, poem or short story can inspire discussion about its many themes and interpretations. What computer science papers might inspire similar reactions among hackers? Ideally, I'm looking for real computer science papers rather than, say, blog posts which take a controversial stand on hot-button issues.

I've seen a number of comments and articles suggesting that, somehow, social media and the freedom of communication permitted by the internet are incompatible with democracy and social order. There seems to be a fear of freedom of speech as a dangerous principle which could lead to a demand for government control, or at the very least, a general mistrust of non centralized and proprietary communications platforms.

>Freedom of speech != freedom to publish whatever wherever you want.

Wherever you want, no... but whatever you want, yes, more or less.

The only rights protecting you and I are the rights that protect the scum that many people currently (and understandably) want to see driven off of social media and out of public discourse. They act as the canaries in the coal mine of personal liberty, and democracy depends on the capacity for the free exchange of ideas, communication and debate.
They are not dangerous "on their own" any more than an iron or a knife or an automobile or a bottle of tequila is dangerous on their on. All of those are dangerous in the hands of a bad person, an uneducated (about that object) person, or a mentally ill person. The object does not have inherent danger.

> it's not Facebook's fault if people don't know their data will be used for advertising, like it's not a tobacco's manufacture's fault if the user doesn't know cigarettes give you cancer.

Lawmakers (at least in the USA) disagree with you fundamentally. That’s why cigarettes have a big warning label telling consumers that it gives you cancer.

I think comparing tobacco and data privacy is like comparing apples and oranges. But the common principle stands: if people might reasonably find a product objectionable because of characteristics that aren’t readily clear, a reasonable effort ought to be made to educate them.

Poetry – Python dependency management and packaging made easy
According to this article, the algos only track objects that have been classified as "moving" and the initial classification is what matters.

"Let’s say that there is a huge red fire truck idling at the side of the road. An autonomous car can’t see the fire truck if the fire truck suddenly pulls out into traffic. Why? Autonomous cars have a stop and start problem. They don’t have unlimited processing power, so they cut down on calculations by only calculating the potential future location of objects that seem to be in motion. Because they are not calculating the trajectory for the stationary fire truck, only for objects in motion (like pedestrians or bicyclists), they can’t react quickly to register a previously stationary object as an object in motion.

If a giant red fire truck is parked, and it suddenly swings into traffic, the autonomous car can’t react in time."
