How do we find this out?
If you're going to claim it's a lie, citing evidence and why it's flawed would probably be a good start...
This is interesting, but can we avoid posting links to articles behind paywalls?

Here's one on the subject that isn't: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-arizona-ub...
Saying nothing about Google/Waymo, it appears they're allowed to continue? Their self-driving technology seems far more advanced, I think it would be unfair to punish all the players for the bad actions of a few.

In particular, Uber seems to have been operating self-driving cars recklessly and in an attempt to "move fast and break things". When those things are people's lives, that's unacceptable. I'm all for interesting technology, but sometimes existing rules are there for a reason.

I particularly hope this doesn't dissuade individual states from making leaps to embrace a particular technology. I think that's one benefit of the US: individual states have a lot of power to allow a new technology or permit testing that's illegal or in a gray area in the rest of the country. Arizona made a bet on self-driving technology. I applaud Arizona, even if the bet in this case might have turned out badly.
Please also check your waitlist signup form processing -- I've tried it multiple times, but haven't received an email yet.

(Yes, I've checked I've typed it correctly, and it's not in my junk folder.)
The only good Belkin product I have ever seen is their 12 outlet power strip. As a network engineer everything they make with an Ethernet/wifi interface is complete shit. But this is not really news, D-Link, Netgear, many of their competitors are also junk.

I edited my inputrc to do a prefix search. So I just ‘git x’ where x is some letter, pressing up usually finds me what I want.

It still surprises me we don’t have good bash autocomplete.

Not sure how hard it is to create a shell but i’d do it in a heartbeat.
That's financial news every day. They make up nonsense to associate with stock/market movements. Last week, it was FB being down because of issues. Nevermind the entire market was down. And if the dow is down .05% for the day, they'll make up something to state the reason for it.

Everyday on bloomberg, cnbc, etc, they said "the dow or some stock" is down for X reason but that's nonsense. If the talking heads at bloomberg, cnbc, etc knew the reasons for daily stock/market moves, then they wouldn't be working as journalists. They'd be making bank on wall street.
Agreed. Our weak antitrust rules are causing problems in all sorts of areas, and this is just one of them. The world would have been a better place if Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp had remained separate, each pursuing its own version of a "social network." WhatsApp even had a subscription model that people accepted.
Everything is affordable if you live forever.

Unfortunately, most of us only ever work 40 years (if we're lucky), so the budget of a life is, in 99.9% cases, zero sum.
They will if there's volume.
i don’t like articles like this because it discounts the effect of actual luck. An open mind isn’t going to help you if a family member is sick and you have to take care of them instead of going to college.
For me personally, sheets is fine although slow. For our finance people, vba and dynamics GP integration is a requirement.

We switched from o365 to gsuite in the last year, and have run into some things that make it feel like gsuite isn’t quite polished as a business product. Examples off the top of my head:

- Can’t share individual folders from a team drive. Not a dealbreaker, but hobbles g drive as a Dropbox replacement.

- Email to a suspended user bounces. In exchange, the mail goes through but access is cut off.

- inviting a google group to a meeting doesn’t work as smoothly as inviting an exchange group

- can’t delegate account access administratively, need to do it from the user account

There are big pluses too, and overall I’m not sad we switched. But it feels like MS has a much better handle on what corporate IT needs.
As far as UI frameworks go, JS fatigue has slowed down dramatically in the past couple years.
The variable name can just be fooBar, and bazBar, and organized/namespaced such that you could have Thing.fooBar and Thing.bazBar (assuming you want those exposed to the rest of the application).

Readable variable names doesn't mean wordy names. I would avoid using more than 2 words in a variable name.

And that’s totally how it works, less food is produced, so people just say, “Oh well, time to die.” They don’t become desperate, they don’t migrate en masse, and they don’t go to war, it’s just a peaceful loss of a few billion lives to make more room for you. All of that assuming we’re not swimming in technological miracles like some others here are saying. Fusion is right around the corner! We’re going to grow cows in test tubes for free!

No wonder we’re screwed.
n=1 (To reduce the number of email notifications I'm getting I'd best put this message in parentheses right next to this statement. NOTE: I'm not a statistician and don't believe statistics are all that important here! All I meant to say here is that this is a single incident. That's it. Nothing more.)

Edit: I'm getting the impression some people think I am suggesting there aren't grounds to suspend Uber's driving based on my 3 character comment above, so I'll paste my comment to a child comment here. Also, I'm not a statistician and I don't really care about the statistics here all that much when there's video evidence showing this was poor driving.

"Same reason clinical trials stop early if someone dies. It might just be bad luck. Unfortunately we'll never know and that drug might never be tested again. It might have been an amazing drug.
In this case, based on how it played out, I personally wouldn't want Uber's self-driving cars near me."

Privacy, security, rights Managment. Not quite State level but close (because does that even exist?).
It's celebrities that travel nearly most days of the years. Every place that's always in the news for something terrible is probably a destination at somepoint. Also stalkers, extortionists, kidnappers, they're very real. Also and I would think probably more pertinent is that given current events, for something decentralized to take off and for content to be shared semi-locally amongst a partially trusted network it would have to be encrypted with some pretty large keys for it to pass the muster of the initial user base. A lot of these people had their nudes stolen from iCloud for instance. Granted a lot of that was fishing but still if it's going to be adopted people want encryption. It'd probably be smart to put in really big language at the time of install a general introduction to best security practices... And if you really want to be compassionate to the users and little notifier whose nuisance level could be dialed down that periodically reminds them.
If you get drunk, maybe. But having a glass of wine isn't going to affect your sleep. Also, this is about falling asleep quickly, not the quality of sleep. I fall asleep within seconds.

If this is one of the most devastating aspects of colonialism, then colonialism must not have been very bad.

Before we have a conversation about this, I urge everyone to research the degree of soil depletion in formerly-colonized Africa, and then compare that to the degree of soil depletion elsewhere in the world (including never-colonized parts of Africa).

(For bonus points, research how much of that soil depletion occurred since the end colonialism).

The numbers are widely available.

Colonial crop management was a boon for native Africans, not a bust.
Yes but long haul trucking involves distances much farther then the range of any normal electric car.

Good point about substituting the weight of the engine for batteries. Still I think you're going to be way short in total energy density.

And it's not like you can just pack the trailer with batteries either, you still need to allow for the weight of the cargo and there is a gross weight limit on 18-wheelers.
Even with the institutional funding they seem to be getting? If you're right, I'd be surprised because it's reasonable to assume funding and collaboration would include some demand of that nature.
Thank you, this was the context I was missing. I'd be curious what the requirements are for public companies to report gains from these types of investments.
Do walkie talkie apps actually shoot to the "top"? I assume that requires massive amounts of downloads in a huge geographical region, for example tornadoes in one part of the country might only affect 20MM of 320MM people in the US. Even if there were twenty times as many people downloading walkie talkie apps, that wouldn't put them close to Facebook.

In particular, I'd love to see detailed statistics on top free apps, changes, and what causes them.
If your solution requires technology which isn’t even close to being practical, then you’re just going on about sci-fi. That’s very interesting, and with a few exceptions sci-fi usually gets it wrong.
Some do, some don’t. Usually only where Tesla is charged demand charges for peaks by the utility.
Sure Spock, but most of us aren't ok with mass famine and death.
Misspellings, yep. Corrected a couple.

Stating "what existing corporate site each one is most trying to work like" is not what most developers of those networks would appreciate. It's usually new users, journalists who compare federated networks to corporate ones. Easy to grasp for non-tech users. The experience will always be different.

Good idea to name strong points each federated network has compared to other federated neighbours though. Adding PeerTube is on the list.

There's a chance it'll work better on iPad mini next time ( but I can't promise).
The only thing keeping all most people's app download history from getting leaked is fb's (and others') threat of kicking the app download ad partners off their platform. They usually don't do that, and it's always reactive, meaning the damage is already done.

You comment seems to miss the point of the parent. Regardless of the programming experience, lots and lots of people and platforms use it. Due to network effects, it would be very difficult to shift all of those to a different language.

The worst router I’ve ever seen was a D-Link. I was in a position where I had to provide support for it, and in the end I gave up and bought them an ASUS with my own money. It ended up being worth it, just in terms of time and aggravation saved. The software and firmware on the D-Link were garbage, and so was the actual build.
Count me in the 'skip the Starbucks and buy index funds' category.

Over time, it will make you much richer than you'd otherwise be. It really works.
Why would you do any of that when it opens up fine in Excel? A chart doesn't display a million things, it summarizes it. End users aren't going to be pumping stuff through shell scripts, and I personally am not in the business of writing office suite software. If people can get what they want, easily without my intervention by paying MS I am all for it. Also I don't want to support the sales department when my bash script streaming their stuff to Spark fails.

How would it be lousy? The cars can now go anywhere and dynamically route instead of being stuck on rails and the infrastructure costs are orders of magnitude less.
Sure, but they own the firmware now though
Sloppy and marketed as a stability build. There were hardly any new features in it.
Even the UI issues Apple has now are appalling let alone bugs they don’t even seem to know how to consistently have a lock button across devices for example. If the basics are poorly thought through, how is something like security going to be done properly?
Most trucks are driven by a single driver, rather than a team of drivers - this means that they legally must have 30-60 minute breaks every few hours, and can only drive a certain number of hours.

So, lets throw some numbers around:

- Range: 500 miles
- Time to recharge 80% (+400 miles) capacity - 30 minutes
- Speed Limit (Interstates): 50-75MPH
- Maximum Driving Times (USDOT):
- 8 hours (followed by a 30min break),
- 14 hours (followed by a 10 hour break)
- 60/70 hours (in any 7/8 days)

So lets assume 60MPH moving average speed (very high) - gives us over 8.3 hours of driving time.

You add in a 30min break at a megacharger and you've now got yourself another 400 miles of range, which would let you drive for 6.6 hours - at which point you'll be out of hours again.

So you park up and let the truck charge overnight.

I don't see how this is so difficult.

A fatal accident at 50x the rate of a sober human driver with a study size where N = 1.
I wonder how long the investigations are going to take, they usually take months to a year in these cases. Or have for Tesla at least.

The political side is interesting to look at as well. The governor directly issued the order and he is up for election this year [0] and he played up the positive PR of the Uber and others coming to the state.

If you're curious about these networks, it might help to keep an eye on the-federation.info project. That one was made to present numbers. Currently not all networks included, but they're working on it.
Census to add controversial question on citizenship status
According to https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm $0.05 in 1930 works out to $0.73 today.

Figuring out a percentage increase is a bit complicated without knowing how much mod's grandfather earned. According to https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2012/spring/1... in the 1940 census average (yes, not median) annual income was $1368, which works out to $24,505 in 2018 dollars, or $12.25/hour assuming 40 hour weeks and 2 weeks of vacation.

So at a guess, $0.05/hour was less than a 10% raise, but more than 1%. I expect it was /hour, not /week, because weekly wages would have been in the ballpark of tens of dollars.

Disclaimer: I am not mod, and this is not my grandfather we're talking about.
"Last resort" for what, 30 years?
I think people routinely under-estimate how difficult these fiat-onramps can be to operate. Lots of regulation and compliance.
Are you suggesting that Tesla hasn't done the math or are just flat out lying?

MVS is less complex to code, definitely agreed. But given how well studied and broadly implemented SAT is, I don't really think that's a useful distinction to its end goal - be a useful build system. Chucking the whole transitive-version-respecting thing is even simpler[1] but it's terrible and Go shouldn't do that just because it's simple.

And for "understandability" in a conceptual sense, personally SAT has always felt simple and predictable to me - "find something within all bounds or err" is something we do all the time by hand.

[1] e.g. pip essentially ignores version constraints if something's already installed or some other lib already mentioned it. it's absolutely terrible and causes many problems in anything long-lived.
No, this is a common thing by hard-right factions to phrase the center-rightists as a bunch of commies. There is no genuine left left, we have had a massive rightward shift over decades, and this only becomes more true over time.

Witness that the "socialized" Obamacare is actually a repackaged version of a republican proposal from 1994.

Almost every company is spying on you online. Including CNN and hacker news.

The question is why is everyone picking on FB? In china or russia, Xi or Putin orders the institutions to attack so and so and the media/government hounds an entity.

What happened with FB? Was it just an magical organic process where the media, government, etc all decided to attack FB all at once? That's quite a coincidence. What's even more interesting is how britain, canada and western europe also joined in as well.

I'm not a fan of FB. I've never had a FB account and never will. But what has happened in the past year vis a vis FB is quite astounding.

I don't think there has been a day on HN the past year where we didn't have a hit piece on FB.
Chrome OS Tablets Are Official–Meet the Acer Chromebook Tab 10
People that drive recklessly and kill people can, indeed, have their license pulled. This is not unreasonable and we'll see what the investigation finds. If Uber did not take needless risks and this was some kind of edge-case where everything that could go wrong, went wrong, then perhaps it would be acceptable to allow them to re-continue their testing.

Given Uber's track record, however, I believe we'll see this was more of their "don't give a fuck" brogrammer attitude. When you're only really risking people not being charged a correct fee or not being picked up for a ride it's one thing. Risking public safety is another.
you bloody marxist! :)
I found WebStorm a bit overwhelming when I first tried it (I was fairly new at the time), which made any workflow a little difficult for me out of the gate.

That, and I remember Staples of the JS ecosystem (eg ESLint) being somewhat difficult to set up. Maybe they were simple if one knew the Jetbrain workflows, but for me, esp. compared to VS Code, it seemed a huge undertaking just to get ESLint to work.

Actually, here's an SO question I posted awhile back about ESLint in WebStorm (well, intelliJ). This was shortly before I made the switch to Code.

Very few people argue that countries have the right to do anything they want to track illegal immigrants. Also it looks like the Trump administration is continuing an Obama era program.
That's like saying that circuit switched networks are better than packet switched.
Agreed, but it's not like it's OK to say "Well sure, so far we have a kill rate of 50x a human driver, but why don't we wait until Uber kills at least 20 people first so we can determine proper statistical significance"
Just click the "web" link then click the WSJ link. If you have no cookies from them, it gets you around the paywall most of the time.
Yes, but given that the probability of an auto death is continuous, there is an incredibly high confidence level that Uber is, in fact, less safe then human drivers.
Devils advocate here, but what if a supposed “obstacle” is a plastic bag or a jet of steam coming out of a sewer grate?
People so often rationalize away a plausible scenario of government surveillance by showing how it would require someone to be an irrational actor -- under a simplified, incomplete set of assumptions about the world. I do not understand why, after Snowden. Humans are not rational, and you cannot exhaustively list all the possible forces that might affect someone's decision.

The main goal was to have one place where you could find relevant up-to-date links related to current federated social networks.

Just because Denic doesn't allow private domain registrations doesn't mean you're supposed to go after people and dump their personal info into your popular blog. Large parts of the information was historical data persisted by third parties that'd be hard to expunge. There's a good reason for pr0gramm admins to want to remain anonymous - cha0s initially quit the site because he received an 80kg steel oven as sort of a threat. The post includes names and contact information of volunteer moderators that weren't even part of their company.

But Brian Krebs' private information - which is definitely out there - is to be kept out of public view? I'm sure he'd pursue legal action if I put that on my blog with some half-baked accusations

It's wrong, plain and simple, which is why pr0gramm moderators have been removing posts with both their own private information and krebs'.
We do clustering on unstructured text and we output data in a Jupyter notebook. It's a proof of concept for now and the production pipeline will be a bit different. The whole Python ecosystem is awesome for this type of prototyping.
FWIW, complaints about paywalls are generally off-topic, though I agree, a non-paywalled source can be useful.
