> The proposal explains this pretty clearly, using Cargo as an example, and listing what the Go team sees as its shortcomings (at least for golang). Is there an alternative extant approach that you think they've missed?

That IS what I claim is wrong. There is no reason to argue about it. Yes, each existing solution has a problem. But so will their final solution. The differnce is that an existing solution doesn't need much time to invent, it's already invented. And you also already know what its shortcomings will be so you can handle them as well. The problem is having the arrogance to come up with something better given another 10 years. Unlikely and too huge an investment.

> There are philosophical disagreements between advocates of different approaches here, and Go has very clearly picked its side.

What is this discussion anyways? When I see go tools reraising errors from their underlying libraries, that is a clear, community wide bug. The user shouldn't care about what library you use, and certainly he shouldn't know your choice of library's ins and outs.

Also it's very clear that if a 1 line function call has at least 3 more lines of code, that it is more spammy than Java.

Yes, there are philosophical differences, but go didn't choose any of them but instead did something that is worse.

In some regards it's the same as with package management. The choice was taken to solve a problem that was solved a thousand times already, and they had the hope that investing another 10 years of developer time they would come up with something better. Well, as statistics suggests they failed, badly.

Would you invest 10 years of a whole community to invent a machine that keeps your milk cool? Probably not. You would probably buy a fridge and be done with it.

> you probably should either suck it up

Where does this arrogance come from? Are you 15 or something? A grown up person is confident when they achieved something, not when they failed at reinventing the wheel, which many people told them is a waste of time.
I remember stumbling upon a grey background google menu on my... droid whatever and disabling all of this. Very creepy. Looks like it's still holding the preference after at least two new phones. I like that part.
In California, that's a legal crosswalk and the pedestrian gets right of way. In Arizona, it is not. I'm not sure a pedestrian even gets the right of way in a marked cross walk at all times in Arizona. Different state, different culture, different laws.

We had local PD actually pull a very similar sting operation that had people complaining recently. They had a police officer with a baby stroller cross at an unmarked crosswalk and gave tickets to all drivers who did not stop for her to finish crossing the street.

And going back to my teenage years, that was the one ding I had on my drivers' test (again, in California). I had stopped for a pedestrian to cross, but I did not wait until that person was completely across the road before starting again.

Regardless, the video that was shared does not reflect the real world. There have been plenty of photographs including the one in this article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-26/uber-disa... and this one https://imgur.com/a/PM7uu that show the area as well lit. I have trouble believing that the best quality video that a self-driving car company has available in it's vehicles is the one that they produced after the accident. Spending $40k on the car and $80 on a low end consumer level dash camera? That doesn't pass the sniff test.

"Takata airbag"

That is an interesting recall. I was thinking about it today as my girlfriend is getting one replaced on her car right now. She commented on the incompetence of repair people these days and how they didn't even know if the repair was going to take one day or a week.

With the death toll from the airbags at only 22 globally so far [1] and maybe a few hundred injuries [2] and a total number of recall repairs at 65-70 million [3], you can bet the number bad repairs are going to cause more deaths than if they had not done the recall. Plus the cost of the recall in the billions of dollars that could have done a lot more good. I guess the lawyers are coming out alright though.

I'd argue that that kind of answers your own question, though. In my struggle to understand my issues, I've read plenty of books that offered some help or insight, but frustratingly seemed to somehow miss 'the point', however vague.

The moment I was diagnosed with Asperger's, and started searching for resources about that, I remember being astounded at how all the stories and descriptions were either exactly on point, or at least much more so than what I'd read before.

I've had the same experience with friendships. Most of my close friends, historically, suffered from various disorders, ranging from BPD, narcissism, ADD, chronic depression, bipolar disorder, etc. A big part of what made us 'click' was the different-ness, and yet there was always something lost in translation that wasn't so with most others I know with autism/asperger's.

Clearly, there's a lot we don't understand about ASD. And maybe we'll one day have various ways of labelling subtypes better. But in my experience and those of many people I know, there is something specific enough about ASD (even as a much vaguer label than Asperger's) to warrant a specific label.

I don't have as strong an opinion on this as I thought initially, because I do see that the label can be rather 'heavy', perhaps enough so that the benefits don't outweigh the cost. But at least right now, despite the pretty serious negative effects I've felt 'taking on' the label, I feel I'm better off with it. Maybe that's just something that some of us need to go through...

The Wikipedia page you mention says ”Fully autonomous vehicles have been an international pursuit for many years, from endeavors in Japan (starting in 1977)”, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_autonomous_cars lists attempts going back to the 1930s (1920s, if you take ‘radio controlled’ as a form of autonomy)

The moment that anybody demonstrates a real, working fusion reactor, a gargantuan amount of money will flood the sector.

At that point, fusion will go onto a Moore's Law curve and we will see exponential improvements for quite a few years.
This sounds really weird, Sweden also has roundabouts but I do not have to yield to anyone on the roundabout, only the ones that I will interfere with? Whether someone enters after or before me is really of no consequence. I am basically not allowed to enter if I will obstructing someones path of travel, with the additional caveat that both lanes of a multi-lane roundabout has to be free, since anyone in the roundabout is free to switch lanes.
I don't think people are averse to 2-cent payments. I can imagine a scenario where I regularly spend money on the Internet besides Amazon. I don't know how much I've spent on Steam, for instance.

What people are guarding against is optimization. I don't mind paying 2 cents. I do mind paying 2 cents and then becoming marked for upsell and becoming subject to a full-fledged marketing campaign, or having some recurring 2-cent payment be changed to $20. Cognitively, I know that I am no match for the kilonerds out there trying to extract money from my wallet. So the only move is not to play.
The weight is substantial. The Lithium-ion packs in the Model S, for example, weighs over 500KG. One of the largest engines in a current production car, the Dodge 8.4L V10, is 42% lighter. Smaller turbo petrols weigh just a fraction of that.

(I am comparing just the weights of the power plants, not the power plant + drivetrain which would include gearboxes, differentials and electric motors).

Of Love and Hate: TypeScript, Redux and Immutable.js
People should be told they are different, and to embrace their strengths and weaknesses, not that they are handicapped. In the end we agree on the solution, I'm just saying that explicitly labeling the weakness can be harmful. It can also lead to further marginalisation by other social groups. Additionally, it is hard even for psychologists to say which exact behaviours can be attributed to autism and which to personal development.
Its a fiasco for everyone. On the face of it sounds commendable and how can anyone NOT be against trafficking. But the way its implemented not only fails to achieve what it sets out to do, but hinders it by making it Necessary for publishers either actively moderate user contributed content, or avoid it all together, (which is economically more feasible given that the risk of liability for user content "trumps" any other consideration, (pun intended)

since FOSTA/SESTA covers hate speech, sites for political debate either assume the risk an invest heavily in moderation, risk becoming censors of speech or close the doors altogether.

I know an organization that switched to Office365 some time ago— from Google Entreprise / G suite:

Some people do use Google tools on the side, using personal accounts for collaborating on documents (presentations, docs). They don’t necessarily know the organization was using them before, it’s like they’re bringing them inside as a new tool.

Many exchange many MS Office words via e-mail (using desktop email clients).

People use WeTransfer for sharing files internally or with contractors.

People used to use Google Drive for sharing static files and it seems that this shared drive usage stopped and that people are not using OneDrive, relying on email and wetransfer.

(I would not be surprised if some team Slack exist somewhere or I’m pretty sure many use their Facebook messengers to send quick links and references)

As far as I know, the only consistently used Office365 tools are Mail and Calendar.

Office365 doesn’t seem to induce the same collaborative patterns that Google Drive induce at all.

Mostly it feels communication and collaboration are like 10 years or more ago:

email is king, versioning is absent, and people use external tools when they feel it’s quicker and better (at odd with the organization policies of course)

PS: I’ll add that all of my students are used to Google Drive tools, using Docs and Presentations regularly. It grew progressively over the year, and now it’s very rare to encounter a student who never used Google Drive.

I teach to 150+ students each year, so I’d say it’s representative of a new wave of professionals who take real-time collaborative tools for granted (and will be sorely disappointed by tools and process in the organizations they’re about to join)
Keeping Antarctic stations water-wise
Assuming that a SaaS provider is the `processor` in the GDPR. Could it comply to the GDPR by providing the following features through either API or admin panel?:

* Trigger json/zip export of all data for $user_id

* Delete all data for $user_id

* List all events where data for $user_id has been sent to $third_party

When building a new SaaS service from in 2018, this does not seem to be that much work if you design your system with these requirements in mind. A simple way to tag every resource in the database with $user_id, and an event log for third party interactions should be enough.

Am I missing something?

Water Based Analytics
If they are still on the other side of the roundabout (and there are no other cars), can't you safely enter the roundabout anyway?

My understanding is that the goal behind a roundabout is to create an intersection where any vehicles that enter are traveling in a similar direction, improving the capability of people to avoid crashing and reducing the seriousness of crashes that do occur between vehicles.
For the range - you can order either 300 or 500 mile range options.

The range options were said by Tesla to be the range of the truck plus trailer and maximum load, at highway speeds.

The 400 mile mention is the 80% capacity of a 500 mile range pack you'd get by a 30 minute charge. Also information given during the announcement.

I'll have a go at seeing what we can conclude from the data. Others, check my thinking please.
Now we have 1 death in 3m miles for Uber, versus 1.18 deaths in 100m miles for sober drivers.

The expected rate for 100m miles for Uber is 33.333...

But how confident can we be? To answer that let's compute a poisson confidence interval around that rate, as in https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/10926/how-to-calcu....

Let's see what a 95% confidence interval for 1 death in 3m miles looks like:

> poisson.test(1,conf.level = 0.95)$conf.int
[1] 0.02531781 5.57164339
attr(,"conf.level")
[1] 0.95

Multiply that by 33.333 to convert to deaths per 100m miles:

> 33.333333*0.02531781
[1] 0.843927
> 33.333333*5.57164339
[1] 185.7214

So 95% confidence that the rate per 100m miles is from 0.84 to 185.72. That's pretty wide! And since the lower bound crosses 1.18, the difference is not significant at the .05 level (if we must make that particular comparison).
However, let's look at 90% CI:

> poisson.test(1,conf.level = 0.9)$conf.int
[1] 0.05129329 4.74386452
attr(,"conf.level")
[1] 0.9

Which gives a CI of 1.71 to 158.13. So with 90% confidence we can say Uber is less safe than sober drivers. Ok.

Now let's look at 93% CI:

> poisson.test(1,conf.level = 0.93)$conf.int
[1] 0.03562718 5.17251332
attr(,"conf.level")
[1] 0.93

That gives a CI of 1.188 to 172.417. The lower bound being just a bit worse than sober drivers.

So we can conclude with 93% certainty from this data that Uber is less safe than sober drivers. Probably a LOT less safe.
Although the CI is really wide, this is shocking data for Uber, in my opinion.

A post like this, with no article attached, is editorializing. That's the last thing we need on a red-hot topic that has been dominating HN for over a week now. It's an important topic, of course, and that makes it more important to have substantive content grounding the discussions. Please don't submit like this again.

People sometimes do this by mistake when posting an article but since web search doesn't come up with anything for this title other than this HN page, I'm interpreting this submission as abuse rather than a trivial error. Sorry if I've sounded harsh, but this is one trend we really don't need to get going.

You're right - it's going to bounce back.

But don't hold on to those shares for too long.

The mesh/decentralized/p2p networking movement is really interesting, and given the ever increasing power of user devices, the balance for a shift to those models is compelling.

There are huge existing challenges, but I'm seeing really smart ideas in the space, and I think it's only a matter of years before we start to see mainstream p2p networks (still over the Internet) replacing a server model for some successful widespread apps or services. Facebook style social networking is the PERFECT use case for such a topology.

Facebook's time is coming to an end. Not now (like some are reacting), and not in the next year or so, but soon enough. Their paradigm isn't as good as the alternative. The alternative simply has implementation issues that need to be worked out, but they aren't insurmountable, and different groups of people are solving them in novel ways constantly.
