If you charge the engineers criminally, the result is that they won't cooperate with investigations, and will do their best to cover things up.

With "no fault" investigations, the engineers work with the investigators to identify and fix the problems. The result is a lot better than the adversarial system.

Tomorrow: Uber will announce the delay of their new airline.
Of course not, it's all conspiracy theory BS
Self-driving cars have to be at least as safe as human-driven ones for them to ever become accepted and thus widespread. Realistically, they need to be many times safer than human-driven cars for acceptance. It doesn't matter who's technically at fault; they cannot cause more deaths than human drivers. Everyone makes mistakes and they don't deserve to be killed by an algorithm for it.
It's only that high, if you're making car payments and/or driving hundreds of miles a week. The page also specifies this only applies to new cars, as of 2017.

As long as the car payments aren't high and the commutes not really long, it's pretty reasonable. If your commutes are that long, a service would be outrageous. E.g., a company paid for my Uber trip from SF to Los Altos back in 2012, and it cost $125.

I'm a statistical outlier fortunately. My car with excellent insurance costs me < $100/month.

I actually think rentable self-driving cars would be useful for the trailhead problem. For non-spur trails especially, organising a shuttle service is a bit of a pain and relatively expensive.
It's easier to make cars self-driving than to fundamentally re-architect the layout of every single city in the nation, though. We've always had these grand transportation ideas. They don't seem to pan out.
Congrats! We've had a good amount of fun playing with the OT-One (and also some frustrations). I think the large range of volumes is great, along with what seems to be more streamlined/accurate pipetting. I think the enclosure is also a solid feature.

One of my favorite features is the ability to use a simple Python API to define a protocol. Will this still be the case or do people have to use the GUI?

Is there a reasonable (cheap) path to upgrade?
If everyone on earth gives me all their money and property and absolute power to rule, I will do so benevolently and in a way that maximizes the happiness of the world's population.

Therefore, every moment you spend not actively giving me money and property and power, and persuading others to do so, is a moment in which you are actively causing harm and suffering to billions of people who would have had happiness sooner if not for your delay.

I agree with you. The driverless car pedestrian strike is getting so much attention because it's new tech. I guess it's also getting attention because sone people think self driving tech is meant to be flawless instead of simply better than a human driver, on average.
We should be looking for the individuals that will most improve the organization. That may mean hiring someone adequate today instead of someone spectacular who can start in 3 months. That could also mean choosing someone with a different background to most people in the organization. People with different backgrounds will have different biases and think about things differently. Having multiple perspectives is valuable in many organizations.
According to https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com.br/2018/01/reading-pr... Spectre was initially reported to Intel on 2017-06-01, and Meltdown a bit later.

After a quick web search, I found https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9712001/ which records the initial submission of the KAISER patch set at 2017-05-04. The repository at https://github.com/IAIK/KAISER has an older version of the patch set dated 2017-02-24, indicating that work on it had started even earlier.

Finally, the timeline at https://plus.google.com/+jwildeboer/posts/jj6a9JUaovP mentions a presentation from the authors of the patch set at the 33C3 on late 2016. Note that this page puts the submission of the KAISER patch set at 2017-06-24, but I believe that to be wrong; searching the web for "[RFC] x86_64: KAISER - do not map kernel in user mode" finds several mail archives with that message, and they all agree that the date was on May, not June.

That is, even if Microsoft had been immediately warned by Intel (or by Google), the Linux kernel developers would still have had a few extra months of head start, by basing their work on the KAISER patch set. Was it luck, or a side effect of the Linux kernel being used for academic research?
Titanium Blockchain Back on CoinMarketCap After ICO Shake Up
I respectfully disagree. Darkest Dungeon captured the essence of Lovecraft in ways I've not seen anywhere else. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes brutally hard turn based 1 dimensional combat. The game requires a lot of compromises and you will suffer casualties. It's a rare game where I spend almost as much time preparing for a dungeon run as I take doing the run. The artwork also really spoke to me.

About the one warning I give about the game, is that it doesn't explain in game enough early game. I got frustrated because the early game is really punishing and it's too hard to figure things out since many interactions are probabilistic. I finally found a wiki on the game which allowed me to understand what I was doing wrong (and which dungeon artifacts should be skipped when no protection). After that I fell in love with the gamr.
The “One Plus” plan has unlimited international 256 kbps LTE and is juuuuust fast enough to get by. The low latency of LTE is helpful to make it feel a lot faster than a 2G connection of similar speed.

Sure, I have a hard time believing MS would purposefully screw their Win 7/8 enterprise customers - but the issue at hand suggests it's at the very least a byproduct of their new strategy of focus on Win 10 and the decision to do with less QA/Testers by involving more end users to participate in testing. Thus Win 7 users end up with slower, less tested patches and no hardware support backports. To be fair only the less tested patches sound terrible.
> > Cognitect need to climb a few rungs down the ivory tower and engage with the community as if it were in fact made up of human beings trying to do their jobs.

> Sounds like a frustrated dev with the presumption the language owes him free support.

I don't think that's a fair characterization. The complaint is that Cognitect does not seem open to community contributions. Take for example this comment:

> I painstakingly write a patch and jump through the JIRA hoops; but there it languishes. The dev team’s complete silence is not encouraging. Makes me feel more of an outsider, less of a part of the community.

There were many in this vein.
Probably the best point I've seen made by this. Humans are not computers and will do illogical things like jay walk across busy streets. Can't say I know the details for this particular situation, but many times a driver will see the telltale signs that someone is about to run across the street before it happens.

FWIW, previous discussion (17 comments) from several days ago, back when news of the fatal accident was first known: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16669241

edit: Worth pointing out that in the previous Tesla fatality investigated by the NTSB for Autopilot-related issues, the victim was well known as someone who posted videos that showed off his Tesla's Autopilot capability. [0] I don't think anything like that is known about the 38-year-old victim in this week's incident. More details of that accident are here, from the San Jose Merc:

https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/03/27/ntsb-investigating-fa...

> Friday morning, a San Mateo man died when his Tesla Model X crashed at the Highway 101 and Highway 85 connector, authorities said. Wei Huang, 38, was traveling in the carpool lane of southbound 101 around 9:30 a.m. that morning when he collided with the barrier separating his lane from the Highway 85 flyover carpool lane, according to the California Highway Patrol.

My experience is only with LightRoom and Photoshop and I have to say that their products are just very good. There is also a ton of learning material out there for Adobe products.

Hard to compete with that. Affinity photo is quite good but if I were a pro I would stick to Photoshop.
The time to take on Adobe was probably 10-15 years ago. At this point to oust them or even try to compete with them you would have have to create a feature for feature better product, and offer it at a lower price point. Your interface would either have to mimic adobe's to ease transition or be a significant improvement that its beneficial to switch.

As far as dialed down "40% functionality" - isn't that what Adobe tried with their "Elements" line dialed back versions of Premier/Photoshop at a lower price point?

I get the feeling it would be hard to roll out a "40%" product without a "100%" as well - or else you risk having the narrative around your product becoming "use this until you start taking yourself seriously - then learn a whole new software suite when you graduate to Adobe"

Idk. Lack of competition isn't great, but back when others were actively trying Photoshop was still king (thinking back to the 4.0/5.0 days)

The low quality dash-cam video that looks nothing like real life? Street lights and headlights cast more light than is evident in that video.

Do you ever drive at night? Then you should intuitively know if it was really that dark, the headlights were off, or fog was present, or something else that would indicate a speed much lower than the posted limit was sensible (vs this car, which was speeding st the time).

Socialism isn't the abolition of labor. That would be silly. It's a redirection of our energy towards meeting society's needs. Compare that to our current system, where a large portion of a day's work is spent enriching the holder of capital. Those who have nothing to sell but their own labor (they lack the capital necessary to acquire means of production) are forced to accept "voluntary" contracts where they are compensated at less than the value their work produces. This alienation is something akin to slavery, except that we can choose our plantation.

I won't drag this thread deeply off course with a rundown of Marxist thought, but if you're interested in some light reading (~60 pages) "An Introduction to Marxist Theory" by Ernest Mandel elaborates upon this in a digestible manner. There's also Paul Cockshott's "Towards a New Socialism", which explores the implementation details of proposed alternatives to capitalism. He writes about how me might "maintain a high standard of living and somehow don't have to work [for a privileged few] for a living."
Ehhh, I think given enough time and money just about any problem can be solved. Given what we know today, it seems pretty reasonable to say that we will achieve a car that can drive itself in any situation and not cause deaths...at some point in the future.

Perhaps because sufficient number of non professionals typically won't pay an amount of money that pays for a top notch development team. So in the non professional market, you have labors of love like GIMP and DarkTable
This also assumes a good market of people who want to use mass transit vs something private.

Many Thinkpads have LTE modems from the factory, with a SIM tray on the side. It is not even just a Thinkpad thing, many manufacturers of enterprise laptops ship plenty of devices with SIM card slots. I've had HPs and Dells come with GSM modems since 3G was a shiny new thing. It is not that its ugly, it is probably not something most consumers have demanded, so they haven't bothered including. Or, the OEMs use it as a differentiator from their consumer tier devices to their enterprise devices.

I don't think "deserves" belongs in the discussion. It's an unpopular opinion, but I believe the pedestrian caused this situation by putting themselves in a dangerous situation and not paying attention. That can get you killed in many situations regards less of if you deserve it or not.

I agree mostly with what you are saying, just not the undertone that this infortunate accident is somehow evidence of AVs "causing" more deaths than human drivers.

TCO for a car is $8500/year on average, or roughly $700/month or $23/day. That doesn't include the time cost for servicing and dealing with a car that needs repair.
Adobe has been in the game for a long time, and they know how to play. For example, early on in postscript days, they had proprietary fonts... which they made free at about the right time to have reaped profits without fueling a competitor. A short-sighted company might have hung on; a non-profit might have given it away from the start.

- they allow photoshop to be pirated - removing fuel for competitors

- it's difficult (and uninteresting/not technically challenging) to make UIs easy to use; hence the gimp

- pdf is free-to-read, pay-to-write. They keep adding new features, so companies will keep buying it

- maybe I read too much into this: but I once noted that postscript/pdf are the only mainstream "vector" graphics on the market (well, splines, not vectors, but I just mean that they're drawn)... apart from flash, which (to me) it seemed could make inroads on publishing. Then... adobe acquired flash (macromedia), giving them a monopoly on vector graphics. They let flash languish, consistent with my view...

Adobe know what they're doing, to maintain digital standards/monopolies throughout the lifecycle.

I've been exploring some similar ideas recently but focusing more on altering your experience of the real world rather than VR [0]. Interesting to read about the research being done on the subject

Even using very crude hardware, it is difficult to convey how profound I have found some of my experiences. Take a simple setup that lets you see yourself in the third person for instance. Logically you know that the person standing there is you. You can reach out and feel the world about you, walk about and feel yourself bump into walls. And yet there's also a disconnect. Almost a numbing. I find that my mind often switches between feeling that I am in my head and feeling that I am behind the camera. And this leads to a feeling that I are nowhere. That this is not reality.

Take off the headset, and now reality itself feels broken. Your perspective and sense of your body indescribably off. Sometimes the effect lasts just a few seconds, other times it lasts the entire rest of the day

As silly as they are, my experiments with VR headsets and cameras have genuinely changed my understanding of myself and of the world. I don't understand why people are not more excited / freaked out about the possibilities this technology offers. Maybe it doesn't effect everyone in the same way

Anyways, if nothing else, the article gave me a few new ideas for areas to explore

It's not like you drive millions of miles without a small fleet of vehicle. Not only is that what they would do on large scale, it's what they already started to do on small scale.

Uber's a company whose current main product is software, that doesn't mean they can't branch out into new things and are forever tied to software. I'd also argue that Uber already has a lot more experience with working with a million different people than most other companies (currently drivers, in the future possibly mechanics, garage owners, etc).
