You actually think 30 seconds is OK for 'compiling' a dynamic language? We might as well start using C++ in the browser if that's the kind of feedback loop we have to deal with.

I enjoy hating on Uber as much as the next person, but this honestly just sounds like shrewd focusing of effort in light of recent events on Uber's part. Their permit was expiring, and there was going to be a load of paperwork along with probably lengthy boardroom meetings with authorities explaining what went wrong and why it won't happen again, if Uber wanted to renew.

I see no reason (in this article, at least) to suspect that Uber won't re-apply at a later date when they have a better handle on what went wrong in Tempe.
Ooo nice one. Once interactive rebase lands I’m switching from SourceTree.
My point was mainly that mutually assured destruction might not really work the way it is supposed to. I am sure a lot of smart people have spent a lot of time thinking about it but I am not convinced that it really works, at least not in all scenarios. If one side breaks out, screw it, we launch the nukes, the other side might suddenly not have good reasons to retaliate. They might of course still do it just because that is what the plan says or to prove to potential future attackers that they really mean it, but besides that there may actually not be any good reasons to retaliate, at least in some scenarios. But that will admittedly depend heavily on the actual scenario and I just provided one that seems rather unlikely or at least incomplete, only launching the nukes and nothing else.

If there is a team with real software that Uber can acquire, they can catch up. GM and Waymo seemingly do not need another team. While they can outbid Uber, Uber can always close the deal by promising that the new team's software will be the new face of Uber self-driving and not shelved like it would be at GM or Waymo
The original question said nothing about replacing anything, so I'm really not sure where you are coming from with this perspective about things being "squashed". It feels as though you're coming to this with a preconceived agenda around "linguistic prescription" that is only mildly related to the topic at hand... so I'll leave you to it.

It’s worth pointing out that the extensive submarine fleet the US has could give it a bit more leeway in choosing their second strike than any other nation. Having said that, Americans went to two wars based on a conventional attack on New York. I’m pretty sure that they’d be baying for nuclear fire if they were actually nuked themselves, and they might not be satisfied with anything less than “parking lot” effects. At the very least, I think Pyongyang would be thoroughly nuked. The intersection of a few dozen Mach stems would do the trick, although the fallout wouldn’t be trivial for anyone downwind, like China or RoK.

It definitely has an intangible value.
Uber is a dying company that is bleeding out.

Uber's current business model:[1]

Uber is the middleman in a two-sided marketplace. It connects drivers with passengers, and takes a cut for this service.

Uber's competitive advantage is that it had the capital to attract drivers - with lots of drivers on its network, costs & wait times are lower for passengers, so passengers use Uber. Cue flywheel metaphor.

BUT Uber is still not profitable.[2] Unlike Amazon, there are no economies of scale in this business. Cities are local markets - Uber's dominance in A doesn't help it in B. And, as Uber acquires more customers, its cost of driver acquisition increases. Uber is so big that in many cities, it is churning through drivers and needs to incentivize the current drivers to stay on the platform.

Counterpoint: This is all a short-term concern! Once drivers are eliminated from the equation, Uber will be insanely profitable!

Wrong.

Once self-driving cars go mainstream:

Uber's competitive advantage completely disappears. As a passenger, all I care about is getting from point A to point B safely, quickly, and cheaply.

As a manufacturer of self-driving cars, why would I sell or lease them to a middleman (or if we're getting extreme, even to consumers!) to take the profits in this space? As Tesla, GM, etc. I am going to pump out a fleet of self-driving cars and have consumers pay for a subscription plan (X number of minutes / miles per month on my fleet). Because this is a very capital-intensive business, the government will then grant local monopolies to different providers and regulate them as utilities, much as it does today with telecoms.

Uber provides no value in this scenario. The winners in this space are going to be car manufacturers and the developers (licensers) of the self-driving software that get legal approval (and it seems extremely unlikely that this will be Uber).

In an ideal world, lawyers would be advocates seeking to provide a nuanced, human perspective.

From what i have seen UI / IO / glue code does not need that much performance.

Therefore 80-90% of JS code you write does not need that much performance.

So WASM will be great for specialized libraries, but for most stuff it will not be "much" faster than JS.
> STEM is "how to make a thing", and STEAM additionally addresses "why to make it, how it should look"

Those strike me more as philosophical concerns than artistic ones.

Art isn't about explaining things, it's about expressing things. STEM is something along the lines of how the physical world works. "Why", almost by definition, is a question of philosophy. How it should look is a question of aesthetics.

So, in my opinion, maybe the synthesis is something like: Philosophy is "why", STEM are "how", and Art is expressing our answers to those questions and our feelings about them.
In a post SpaceX world, with cheap(ish) launches a reality, even for large payloads, how does this change the design parameters for instruments like this? I would imagine that since launches used to be so expensive, it put pressure to create exquisite instruments that (should) work perfectly and robustly for a long time.

But if launch costs are dirt cheap you can put up any old thing for a year or two, burn it up and launch an improved model with newer tech...repeat as long as needed, or launch dozens of instruments instead.

I feel like we're on the cusp of something here and mission profiles like this will feel like the ancient Phalanx-like relics of thought processes that no longer are relevant.
Opposites may have been the wrong word here. But STEM expresses a concept which arts are very much not part of.

> I think the question is more about the merits of STEAM as “the goal” versus “STEM”.

Neither of these is a goal, they're words. Words enter the lexicon because they're useful. There was never hacker news post saying: "hey guys, we should have a word that encompasses all the in demand technical subjects" someone used it and others picked it up because it expressed something they wanted to express. STEAM is a perfectly well formed concept, and if people had any interest in expressing it then it would probably already be a word. Now, maybe people do have a need for this concept (I very much doubt it, but maybe) in which case I would expect to see it take off in usage. But trying to forward a goal by telling people they should change their use of language in some way is an inherently destructive process. For example, imagine a child asks you which subjects in school they should focus on, easy you say: "STEAMHLHGFS..." we've included everything in this acronym, and now there's no way for you to actually express anything to this child that provides the least bit of focus.
I also get this impression, but with my university for example, they all but shut down departments that were non STEM related. We weren't a particularly notable institution, so the administration decided to focus their efforts on engineering fields to set us apart. I don't imagine this sat well with the faculty and students outside of STEM but it may also be that there is a downward trend of people willing to spend the money on a liberal arts degree, and that threatens the livelihood of those who rely on it's existence.
Let's not turn this in to a pointless political debate. But stories such as the Republican appointee to the DoI saying "diversity isn't important" [0] lead some people to conclude that there's effort to cast other goals as more important than diversity. There are enough threads on HN debating the relative merits of diversity and meritocracy that there's no need to add them here, but this is just an answer to the citation request.

Just because they will not re-apply in California now doesn't mean their efforts are stopping - and it doesn't mean they won't apply for permits in different states or just re-apply in California at a later date.

Well, yes, it is understandable what motivates the individual, and depending on what exactly you are weighing against what, it might even be justifiable--but then, the reason why some (actual) shithole countries are shithole countries is essentially this sort of attitude, as that is essentially the rationalization for corruption. I guess the point is that evil institutions do not usually come about due to evil people, and when they do, they are not sustained merely by evil people, so, if we don't want to have them, concentrating on evil people won't do shit, we have to concentrate on the actual cause, and the actual cause are those perfectly understandable, human decisions.

Oh! Sorry, I totally misinterpreted your original comment. I thought you meant that women who have a pre-existing condition of low sex drive don't want to take the pill because they have no interest in sex and hence contraception. While true, it didn't make much sense in context. It being a side-effect of the pill makes much more sense.

The self driving car program seems like reaching for immortality.

Pre-sputnik and pre-Gagarin, the US approach to space exploration was conservative, and my understanding is that Braun was pushing for a less cautious approach [1]. One issue was apparently a reluctance to lean too heavily on 'Nazi' technology. This caution contrasted with the US' approach to airplane development, which had a lot of moving fast and breaking things (and people.)

Ironically, if von Braun had got what he wanted then, there may have been no Moon race and no Apollo program.

Great job reading the letters though! Learning a language that uses a different alphabet is a tough endeavor (I've tried!).

When diacritics are not present, you need to guess what the word is based on context.

Two examples:

هناك علم على غصن الشجرة

هناك علم في ذلك الكتاب

Notice that the word "علم" is present in both sentences. But once you read the sentences, you'll end up realizing that the words are different. If diacritics were present, this would be immediately obvious!

The two sentences, translated, are:

There is a flag on the tree branch.

There is knowledge in that book.

The word "علم" means either "flag" or "knowledge/science" in these two sentences.

It then uses that information to implement shouldComponentUpdate for you. Each render call refreshes the data use by shouldComponentUpdate.

My guess is that they don’t want to be seen asking for something they’ll publically fail to get. At this point, outside of the world of tech, people who were downright alarmed by SDV’s now have a place to hang their hat. Politicians follow the direction of popular sentiment, and they’re not going to risk the next Uber fatality having their stamp on it. They’ll be thinking the next corpse might be a child’s as well, and how that would hurt their prospects for re-election.

On HN there are a lot of Vulcans who have stats ready to go about human driver fatalities, but that’s far out of touch with the average voter.

Their business model would be destroyed by the first company to do self driving. The costs of paying drivers is a big part of the fee paid by riders. It was the natural progression for Uber.
