Not so much a natural law but definitely a natural tendency for a lots of types of businesses to cluster. It's probably particularly pronounced in industries where there is a lot of in-person deal making, "power lunches," etc. (Which is one of the reasons why traditional publishing tends to be pretty centralized as well.)

As you say, actual filming has become somewhat more distributed though that is somewhat constrained by the whole ecosystem of associated trades that are needed to setup and do filming.
Non-3D artists should note that “Physically Based Rendering” or PBR is merely a standard for defining materials. It is becoming something of an industry standard in real-time and offline rendering workflows. From a real-time(games) perspective, PBR represents a leap up in realism but from an offline(VFX) perspective, it offers no improvement in realism, and often a downgrade from past norms if implemented with no additional efforts. For someone using offline rendering, [EDIT: As per pxl_fckr’s comment, I must be short on some history of PBR. I stand corrected.]

I'm not sure it is - I initially agreed with you as I've perceived it cropping up a lot recently, then checked c8d3f7b49897918's feed and saw that it actually hasn't been 'shilled' much, at least by her/him [1].

I think in my case at least it's just because I happened to have been searching through JS-related threads a lot over the past few weeks and have derived a false pattern :)

Or take a slow approach like Google Waymo which was almost perfect so far on the roads. Uber is rushing it, and this could cost whole industry.
Amazon does that with games in that they're offering the lumberyard game engine (a fork of crytek) for free as long as you use AWS.

Amazon ALSO makes Amazon basics branded knock off of the popular physical items in store. There's an article about an aluminum laptop stand you might be able to Google for.

The article says almost nothing about it other than that the pedestrian was "outside the crosswalk." But the details are what matters. Without the details it is not possible to say if striking a pedestrian was avoidable. There is also a large grey area: Could the collision been mitigated? What other risks were involved?

The bad outcome would be that it turns out that pedestrian safety is too underdeveloped in this system to really be safe.

Well, I liked it. I had never heard of BEM before, either, so I'll definitely take a look at that. What gets me about CSS is that, in spite of having used it now for about 20 years, I still don't have an intuitive feel for it. With everything else I work with, I start out with an experimental approach: if I change this, I see this, if I change that, I see this other thing; after usually a few weeks of experimentation, I develop an intuition for it so that I can usually predict what it's going to do before I have to see it do it (admittedly it took more than a few weeks to get to that point with Lisp and assembler). CSS, though, just seems to deny intuition; even after reading the O'Reilly "CSS: The Definitive Guide" book, I don't have the faintest clue what my CSS is going to do until I try it out.

>also can be accomplished at lower speed

But what about an even lower speed? If 15 mph is good, then 5 mph is better. And if 5 mph is better, 1 mph is superior once more.

I think we can agree there is a point where slow becomes too slow and the 'sufficient planning' becomes an unreasonable burden. So given we aren't operating off the notion that slower is inherently better, then there is some equation giving us our optimal point. What if that point is 45 mph instead of 15 mph?

In short, how do we argue that 15 mph is better than 45 mph that can't also be applied to speeds lower than 15 mph?
While China is well on its way to becoming a key player in fields like AI, by far the greatest thing preventing it from becoming the "next Silicon Valley" is censorship and protectionism of the Chinese government. The fact that online social platforms in China have to play by the CPC's rules makes it extremely difficult for a service to have both a mainland Chinese and international market. Places like the E.U. and large democracies like India have a huge competative advantage due to the fact that there are very few bureaucratic and political hurdles to get a business started.
Another quirk of people, particularly acting via "People in Positions of Authority" is that they will need to do something to prevent next time.

Why did this happen? What steps have we make sure it will never happen again? These are both methods of analysing & fixing problems and methods of preserving a decision making authority. Sometimes this degrades into a cynical "something must be done" for the sake of doing, but... it's not all (or even mostly) cynical. It just feels wrong going forward without correction, and we won't tolerate this from our decision makers. EVen if we will, they will assume (out of habit) that we won't

We can't know how this happened. There is nothing to do. ..and.. this will happen again, but at a rate lower than human driver's more less opaque accidents.... I'm not sure how that works as an alternative finding out what went wrong and doing something.

Your comment is easily translated into "you knew there was a glitch in the software, but you let this happen anyway." Something will need to be done.

By the market, do you mean the government? Because they set the budget for education, and that budget determines how much money is available to pay teachers with.

Or do you mean the voters, who typically vote down attempts to increase the money for education budgets - typically because most taxpayers don't have children active in education.

There are no market forces at work here whatsoever.

> If we fully deregulated education I bet you’d see teacher’s salaries rise.

One can look at private schools (including universities) and see this is not the case. The pay does increase slightly, but nowhere near proportionally to the value provided. A lot of that extra money provided by private citizens for their children's education is absorbed by bureaucracy (and football).

What happens if the 'rail' was actually a specific, demarcated line that autonomous self-driving cars used on specifically selected roads that augmented existing public transportation options? That would alert human drivers/pedestrians/bicyclists to be a bit more careful - similar to the brightly colored green lanes that are starting to be provided for bicyclists.

Similarly for long haul trucking applications - could the far left lane/carpool lane be safely dedicated to autonomous trucks during the hours of midnight-3AM with some bright blinking signs paid for by the autonomous trucking industry trade group?
Never at the scale of their cash reserves and cash growth. In 2014, Apple had 100 billion in cash and now 4 years later they have 250 billion in cash. During the past 10 years, Apple's average free cash flow per share growth rate was 31.40% per year.

They keep hoarding cash. None of that cash has been deployed or reinvested in a meaningful way. Their stock repurchase plan and dividend payments have been pretty miserable for a company with that amount of disposable cash.

From the top 10 biggest annual dividends payers in S&P 500, Apple is the most stingy. Their yield is 1.72%. Compared to other companies with yields of up to 5% (like AT&T), that's actually a shitty dividend payout.
Is anyone familiar with any other research that would allow us to compare this to other developed nations?

>East German Snitching Went Far Beyond the Stasi

>Everyone knows about the Stasi and the extent to which it spied on the East German populace. But that was only a small part of the informing that went on. New research shows that snitching was vastly more common than previously thought.

Conducting a token sale without getting approval from the SEC is exactly the kind of "economic crime" that the East German citizenry would be snitching on today if East Germany had survived to this day.

The real issue with driving slower is enforcement. Enough people don't take into account the speed limit that changing the speed limit without changing the roads leads to unsafe mixed speeds.

Universally adhered to lower speed limits in urban environments would be great.

More importantly, those views were of the early days of the company. It's very likely that the early hires and executives also shared the same views.

Riding on the sidewalk is dangerous despite the sidewalks being usually empty. There's another factor: when sidewalks become intersections. Very few drivers check for cyclists on the sidewalk before going through an intersection. From what I understand this is shown quite clearly in the crash statistics.

Many dedicated cycletracks have similar problems. Here in Austin there are several that I refuse to use because drivers far too frequently turn into my path without looking. I ride in the lane so that I can be seen. It's counterintuitive to most drivers, but visibility is often the deciding factor in bike safety. This would be more obvious to drivers if they spent more time cycling. If a cyclist is stuck using a path with poor visibility, I find paying attention to the cars and using light touches of an air horn when approaching an intersection to help. But I still prefer being visible to that.

More generally, intersections are relatively more dangerous (crashes per person mile or something like that) than straight segments of road for any mode of transportation using the road.
It doesn't work for me either. I had only one contact from your site. I'm in the Bay Area and response from Hired from local companies is an order of magnitude better than from Work@startup. Dunno why.
I couldn’t put my finger on it at first, but I then realized why your comment doesn’t make any sense - you’re effectively arguing “if I could master-plan society and the economy for a while, this is how I’d decree it to be.”

Maybe some people don’t want to live in dense urban areas, maybe they don’t want to ride on a rail, maybe they want privacy. But looking out the window, I can say American society has soundly rejected the rail as the ultimate solution.

Short of understanding your perspective as a longing personal desire for trains, your conclusion is so far removed from reality that it’s nonsense.
> The pay does increase slightly, but nowhere near proportionally to the value provided.

Maybe it’s not as valuable as you think it is. If it was, people with means would pay more for it.
Did anyone actually go to prison from Enron?
Wow, that seems high -- 412,000 is 15% of the total number of American deaths in 2015 which was 2,712,630.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/deaths.htm

But that seems to be what they're claiming:

> Population attributable fractions were calculated to show the proportional reduction in all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, and ischaemic heart disease mortality that would occur if recorded concentrations of lead in blood were reduced to 1·0 μg/dL or lower (≤0·048 μmol/L). The adjusted population attributable fraction for all-cause mortality was 18% (95% CI 10·9–26·1), equivalent to 412 000 (95% CI 250 000–598 000) deaths each year (table 2). Adjusted population attributable fractions were 28·7% (95% CI 15·5–39·5) for cardiovascular disease mortality and 37·4% (23·4–48·6) for ischaemic heart disease mortality, equivalent to 256 000 cardiovascular disease deaths and 185 000 ischaemic heart disease deaths annually (figure 3).
We can’t even standardize on a format across browsers without severe inconsistencies and bugs, yet you expect vehicles of all types and pedestrians to cooperate in a network? That’s not even taking into account the outliers who refuse to conform (or worse, those who try to hack it).
I wonder if it's because Uber algorithms are trained using Uber driver data (taxi drivers tend to be very aggressive drivers).
> On IPv4 it's a bit of a problem because of the number of legacy middleboxes that block things they don't know, some olders routers have problems with DF (always fun to debug).

The DF bit has been part of IPv4 since day one. There is no excuse for anything in production to not support it. That doesn't mean broken routers don't exist, but "obviously broken router is obviously broken" is properly resolved by removing it from service and possibly finding a suitable museum to put it in.

That isn't the issue. IPv6 doesn't have a DF bit (it's always implied), but sending an IPv4 packet with DF set has the same effect, and most modern systems do that. Most routers will then correctly send back the "Packet Too Big" ICMP message as appropriate. But if the firewall drops that ICMP message, it's just as problematic as doing it for IPv6. The result is the same.

Facebook App security started out extremely lax, letting you pull all info including pictures about anyone visible to the user of said app.
You are seeing the Trolley Problem Dilemma[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem] in action. Majority of respondents when asked that problem would choose to let a few people die to save a larger number of people. Emphasis being on "let a few people die" and not "kill a few people", machines (i.e. lever in that problem and autonomous car in this scenario) somehow evoke a more logical and less emotional response, I guess machines create an emotional distance between the people who would die and the respondent. If the same respondents would somehow feel more responsible for the death, i.e. the machine is removed from the scenario the response would be much different.

Not implying that the lack of empathy is in anyway acceptable, but people should know that when machines are involved in such scenarios it is much easier for them to distance themselves emotionally, this is not new, weapons are a prime example of this. Maybe by knowing this dilemma people can react better to such tragedies.

I hope people show more empathy knowing this.

Not even that. Nothing is stopping a small fleet of autonomous miniature vehicles from breaking off from the rail line, carrying people home, and returning. Lower speeds, lower mass, fewer deaths. We're only bound to the legacy car size by accommodating existing cars.
From the study, Deaths from cardiovascular disease have declined strikingly in the USA over the past 50 years, but this disease is still the leading cause of death.1 In 2013, cardiovascular disease accounted for more than 800 000 deaths in the USA (about one in every three deaths), with total costs exceeding US$300 billion annually.1

To be clear then, this study is claiming that half of all cardiovascular deaths in the USA per year are the result of lead exposure? That seems very unlikely given rates of obesity, smoking, and other cardiovascular risk factors.

I’d also like to know what if any interest the hedge fund listed as a funding source would have in this. Plus this...

The current headline, "lead kills 412k/year" is an inaccurate representation of the linked paper. That type of statement is not in the paper.

Keeping that type of phrasing, saying something like "Lead might kill up to 412k/year" would be in the realm of reasonable.

This type of headline manipulation is how the media turns good science into bad science.

How will that help? The reason that the trains in London and Singapore don't kill people is not that they are on rails, it's because they're underground.
