My car is old but reliable. KBB says it's worth about $2,500 with 140k miles on it. It's made by Toyota and the total cost of repairs in the 60k miles I've owned it is has been less than $300 (alternator, battery, a belt, and some fluids), so I think it's reasonable to assume I'll get at least another 60k miles out of it with less than $1k in repairs.

If we assume the worst case scenario where the car is worthless after the next 60k miles and I have to spend $1k repairing it, that's a total cost of 5.8 cents a mile. At 10k miles/year, that comes out to $48/month. I don't pay interest on a loan for it, but even if I did it would only be another $8/month at 4% APR.

It gets 25 MPG, at 10k miles/year and $2.50/gallon, that's another $83/month.

My insurance is $30/month. $48 + $8 + $83 + $30 = $169/month, well below $300-400.

FWIW, I actually only drive about 6k miles a year, so my actual cost is only $29 + $8 (opportunity cost) + $50 + $30 = $117/month.
I absolutely agree, it's probably too late for established cities and suburban sprawl. I guess I just hope for a better solution than autonomous cars.

I guess this is just a step in the evolution of per-individual transport, and eventually we will get rid of roads and automobiles as we know them for self-locomoting ambiguous transport pods that don't need big asphalt/concrete roads.

We waste so much space to roads and bespoke parking lots.
I can't comment about the other two posters, but I'm still waiting to hear how a law making it illegal to make inferences about people's behavior could possibly work. It sounds like the poster didn't think about the suggestion very carefully.
Yes. Our recommendation is to put such values on the state (like state.prevRow in the blog post example).

This frees up React to not hold into the whole previous props object in some cases in future versions.

It’s a bit more verbose but it also solves the problem of prevProps being null on first render (and thus forcing you to write an extra check every time you use this method).
Which state/area is next on the list?

Here's my garage door project, that I've integrated into Home Assistant: https://github.com/craftyguy/esp-garage

I use an ultrasonic sensor to detect when the door is open or closed. It's very reliable.

I even wired up Home Assistant to contact me (over sms by sending an email to my number@carrier) if the door has been open for >5 minutes, because I was precisely in your position of forgetting to close it.
Your post hit a lot of notes I agree with. Programming dogma doesn't make a lick of sense sometimes. I wonder if the "don't implement cryptography yourself" rule is disingenuous, and really about not necessitating more work from our governmental APTs to get peepholes into everything.
I'm also amazed at how often people cry premature optimization when there's potential to reduce hardware cost by orders of magnitude by not writing slow, memory hungry junk by default.
On the power end, some years ago I noticed that every time there was an announcement on supposedly significant progress in ultra-capacitors, said line of inquiry seemed to "disappear".

Probably not, but I started to wonder whether military/security agencies were moving in and sitting on these developments, in lieu of having an effective defense against weapons powered by them. Not just large-scale weapons, but anti-personnel weapons.
That sounds worse than just driving. It also definitely switches who is the machine and who is the master, like one of those breathalyzers attached to the ignition.
Too bad this came from the one of the worst companies in the world, according to the policy towards open source. Too bad Google playing on their side by do not merging OpenCL support in TensorFlow.
Hrm, okay. I'll follow it, but it feels like a "don't ask, don't tell" thing at the moment. Where FB reaped benefits while pretending to be vigilant.
I don't think you need it - since you're deriving state from props you can just derive from the new props and compare to the old state. At least I believe that's the reasoning.
Setting back consumer confidence is a good thing: Anyone who thinks automated cars will be ready before 2030 is delusional.

> these things are less dangerous than smartphones

I disagree.

> they ride off your own network so it is easy to see when they are sending data back home unlike phones which can transfer data over harder to monitor 3rd party networks

…if you use a VPN, then you can check for traffic here as well.

> They are cheaper and lower powered machines so they can't do a lot of processing on device and can't store a large amount of data for later transfer.

HomePod has an Apple A8 processor, and Google Home has some sort of ARM SoC. These aren't low-powered machines; on the contrary, they can run 24/7 since they're always powered.

> They are stationary in your home and therefore likely spend a majority of the time listening to nothing

I think this makes them more likely to be overlooked, more than anything.

> Finally, if you believe that these companies are shady enough that they are lying to their customers about what these smart speakers are doing, why do you think they aren't lying about what their mobile OSes or apps are doing

Some of them, maybe.
I don’t really like giving out healthcare advice on the Internet. But also... I feel bad for folks being harmed. I’m an amateur woodworker and a non-amateur medical professional, so I’ve looked into this topic for my own self. Putting on the n95 while you’re sanding isn’t sufficient in that sort of environment.

But I’d really rather you didn’t take my word for it: perhaps you’d consider reaching out to a pulmonologist with experience in carpenters’ occupational lung diseases, and get their take on it?

Like I’ve said I’d rather skip to self-flying vehicles and the advancements that would come from developing them.

No pedestrians to worry about, crashes easier to avoid, no mixing of autonomous and active traffic, and faster travel times.
How does this not apply, in any way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_copyright#History_of_...

I don't understand how this is never brought up with regard to API copyright. API's are software, software has been deemed copyright-able, thus, API's are copyright-able.

What a dismissive article. Tim has been open about his personal growth since writing his 1st book. His Podcast is #1 because of the caliber of passionate, dedicated, and creative people he so respectfully interviews. The point of the 4-hour work week, if the writer had read it to the end, is that lounging by a beach gets boring. Discovering meaningful work that helps others, and turning automation into a personal productivity tool, was Tim's path to financial freedom. His book was arguably the first manifesto for the gig economy, a trend this article doesn't even mention.
There should be a way of increasing safety driver attentiveness.

E.g. make drivers labelers. E.g. driver have to label any pedestrians they see on a special HUD. Add financial incentives for labeling pedestrians quickly.

Some variation of this idea may reduce data acquisition costs and improve safety drivers.
Based on the pricing of $16 per 1 million characters (roughly equal to a 400-500 page book), doesn't this severely threaten the voiceover market place? I just priced the cost of a human voiceover on VoiceBunny.com for a 400-page book and I got an average turnaround time of 90 days / $15K cost vs WaveNet's $16 cost and only 30 mins of computational time. That sounds like an interesting disruptor to me.

Blindness, 2nd and then 3rd degree burns. Think of it more like a heat ray, and you get the idea. Human heads don’t have the option of countermeasures though, such as ablative costing which dramatically increase blooming, while insulating the target. You need more than 100kw to either punch through that, or take advantage of non-linear effects.
"Faster, better, cheaper" has not been NASA strategy since the 90's (i.e., pre-JWST). The resulting failures were judged by the public as intolerable.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Goldin

There are indeed very successful missions at smaller scales than Hubble/Chandra/JWST, but they are by necessity less powerful and more specialized. There are regular calls for a "balanced program" of large and small programs, but those run into the astropolitical reality that large missions have more "constituents" in science, government, and industry.

You will be amazed how flexible they allow advertiser to specify the criteria, and how easy that with a handful filters they can target as niche as tens of people in the same area as a cohort.

I'd suggest you turn of all the personalization ads option they provided so that you can avoid to be precisely targeted
I think the definition of self sustainability is that you don’t need any orbital-class rockets. Afterall, earth humans got by for a long time without any orbital class rockets. It’s really the sustainable supply machines needed to make air to breath and to grow food to eat that’s the main thing. You can’t eat or breath orbital class rockets. Rather, it’s the opposite test. As soon as Martians don’t technically have to care if they have any rockets, must mean they are fully independent.

RocksDB is an embedded KV store, so unlike Redis it's not meant to be consumed over the network. Facebook wrote it as a backend for MySQL (see MyRocks - http://myrocks.io/).

The linked article seems to suggest that you can replace bad habits with arbitrary other habits. Maybe that's true, but I think it's best to change your situation so that the right choice is the easiest to make.

I've discussed this in the context of transportation cycling at HN in the past:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16515129

> As a transportation cyclist, some people I know think I must have superhuman willpower. But the reality is that I don't own a car, don't like the bus, and live too far away for walking regularly to be practical. I structured my life so that cycling is the most convenient option.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16450267

> No excuses are valid. Don't feel like it? Doesn't matter. I don't want to ride most mornings. Cold weather or rain? Too bad, no choice still. Sick? Take a day off for your health.

> I am no more successful at maintaining other exercise in my life. I used to run more regularly, but I haven't had the time for a while. So I understand how difficult maintaining an exercise habit is. That's why I leave nothing to chance.
What we really need is an energetically advantageous way to produce high energy neutral particle beams. That would start to look more like the ray guns of science fiction than lasers ever will. It’s not just the weather either, when you hit a target that has a bit of appropriate ablative armor, you’ll be dealing with another source of bloom.

LIPC tech is good too, and might be closer than you’d think. You can exploit the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses to create and modulate plasma, and then do neat things like send a bunch of volts down the channel.

Thanks for the reply. Where in the paper is the example given? Skimmed it but didn't see it. (Edit: nevermind, see it now)

Fast painting is a benefit I guess. My search/painting program is very computationally intensive.

Edit: I think I see the point of the paper now. Unguided search is going to be difficult in high-dimensional search spaces like this. So the NNs become a hopefully-effective heuristic guiding the search.
Actually, death by elevator is extremely unlikely. Comparatively staircases are death traps.

Source by googling a bit (you can find many more): http://www.lifeinsurancequotes.org/additional-resources/dead... (1 in 10,440,000). That said I wouldn't trust an elevator in China or what you would consider underdeveloped countries (incorrectly called 3rd world) (I have heard various stories of cutting corners and lack of inspection).

Self-driving cars don't need to be 10x better, but they are going to be. Humans introduce a delay of 1sec in best cases which is in the same order of magnitude to a car going 60 to 0. Again as mentioned above by others, self-driving cars don't experience fatigue, attention fatigue, emotions, focal vision degradation due to light conditions etc.

Uber tried to cut corners from what is apparent [to me and quite a few others I guess]. I am really trying hard to imagine a scenario where the LiDAR would have missed the pedestrian. From my knowledge there are no stealth-material-dressed pedestrians out there, no matter how cool that idea would be for a movie. Try to check youtube about videos of the Uber car's behaviour in San Francisco and you would see issues a year ago. Driving conditions in Phoenix are much better (personal experience and I have witnessed self-driving cars in both cities). Uber needs to drastically improve their quality assurance and scenarios. (I am not trying to reach any conclusions and pass judgment without having all the evidence at hand. Even though my comments are extremely critical.)

I think it is a good idea we Waymo, Uber, etc propose a standard for adoption with different levels and an independent committee argues and improves on it and we reach a common list of milestones. I think otherwise state governments are making decisions on a whim. Of course that path is a public relation nightmare as they will have to accept existing issues. Nobody wants to write down there is a 0.001% a pedestrian will die in this scenario, even if with a human driver behind the wheel the chance would be higher; for instance 1 or 10% or even 50%.
I had written this else where, but I think
there should be separate tests designed for a self driving vehicle and every single one of the SDV should pass the tests consistently before being put on road...

Until such laws and tests are devised, the all testing of SDVs on real roads should be suspended..

"Support new housing in your town. The State is adding bonuses for adding new housing units, but developers are choosing not to use them, for fear of community backlash."

> I cut back on fried foods

That's the only 100% banned item in my diet because fried stuff makes my skin look ashen and ugly. Whenever fried foods come up in conversations everyone immediately assumes I am talking about fats vs carbs and proteins. Google does too. I can eat most any fats, even butter sticks, no problem. I was wondering if anyone knows why fried foods are so bad.
Interesting mention of create-subscription[1], first time I have heard of such a library/api. Seems it's part of official react repo. Looks like a great piece of utility for interfacing rxjs/xstream etc. Observables. I guess this may replace recompose[2]'s Observable utilities as it's officially endorsed by react team.

Current react ecosystem broadly speakings splits on state management solutions in two styles:
1. Single Observable-like source of truth (redux store)
2. Multi-Observables (relay, appolo, mobx)

It will be interesting to see if `create-subscription` catches on, and whether library authors will start exporting subscriptions as public apis.

I looked at a couple cars so don't remember exactly which. I think is was a Subaru Forester. I was sitting in the back seat checking things out and noticed a tiny line along the back of the driver seat. Turns out it was an internal zipper with the ends tucked near the bottom. It think if you pulled those up, the whole back flap of the seat cover opens up.

It's funny that the Easy Way to quit smoking actually discourages any kind of replacement for smoking. I tried to do it "right" and follow that direction, but eventually I started chewing gum. It felt like a failure at first, but it worked so no regrets.

My realization there was, life is a series of habits, or addictions. Some positive and some negative. Accept that, and treat them all as something outside the self. Suddenly, working out, studying, flossing, all of these simple things that seemed difficult before were now easy.

I'm sure I'm not explaining well. It's probably not something that can be explained. Just know that quitting smoking grants you a superpower, the power of not giving a fuck. And that's the greatest power there is.

You can't use the Mac app to inspect any requests that go over the cellular connection.

Using the Mac app also requires being able to connect to your Mac from your iPhone (in order to use it as a proxy), which is not doable on many setups. For example, at work we use a different wifi network for mobile devices than we do for laptops.
