Put another way, people born on or before 2000 will continue to be able to buy nicotine, but people born after 2000 will never be able to buy it. Over time the percentage of the population which can buy nicotine will gradually dwindle to zero, and there will be no more excuses for stores to stock it.

AFAIK that approach hasn't been tried anywhere. I think I heard a while back it was discussed in Russia but never actually happened? I don't see any good argument for not doing this.

We're moving to a world where women will be equal partners in the workforce, even in India. We should take steps to achieve gender equality faster, and religion steeped in centuries old customs isn't helping.

Women's rights are an absolute, irrespective of whichever religion people belong. If that means striking off what's regressive from the holy books, that's what liberal believers need to do. The sooner we get to Uniform Civil Code, the better.
I don't think that is the point of article.
Point is one should not brag about it like one is so rich.

If you are so rich go to Ibiza.
Spend 100$ for entry to Ibiza club, and 500$ on two drinks.
Hook up with gold diggers that would laugh at 100$ k/year salary.
That is something to brag about. But really rich people don't brag about such stuff. Description from article is about poor mindset, which does not change when you get big salary.
Sorry if this comes across as harsh but I'm really not understanding your grievance.

> They wanted a lot more demonstrable outcomes. I walked away. I found peer review very upsetting. It felt like nobody actually cared about what I was trying to say.

> Oh, and 'this technique is interesting' doesn't seem to cut it as a paper subject.

Well, yeah? To invoke an HN cliche, "ideas are cheap". Why should anyone else care about your idea if you can't be bothered to show it actually does something interesting on some specific problem(s) or even motivate why it might be expected to do something interesting in light of what's already out there? Without any expectation of experimental validation, conferences would basically be giant circle-jerks filled with completely inconsequential "interesting ideas".

And it sounds like you took the feedback from your first round of peer review and revised your work in light of those critiques and got your resubmission accepted. That seems like a pretty good experience to me, knowing many academics with multiple experiences of resubmitting work 3+ times (with new results and revisions each iteration) before acceptance. I'm not saying that any peer review process is perfect by any means, but it's a very important filter and in this case it honestly sounds like the criticism you got when your paper rejected was pretty fair...

How CRM-system helps to improve customer service
The sentiment of the article is not that there is anything wrong as a white male going to visit these countries. Its how westerners behave while they are over there and the way they interact with locals. By all means go visit in person, just take the time to learn a bit about their culture. People seem to treat SE Asia like its a giant amusement park and not a group of countries where large population live every day.

This specific story might have been new, but the broader topic of the safety and functionality of assisted and autonomous driving systems has been extensively discussed over multiple articles in the past couple of weeks, and it's inevitable that members of the community will start to tire of any topic that has had extensive coverage for a sustained period of time.

While I do prefer MacOS over Windows, I believe that you have a point in regards to the computers companies (and people in general) run Windows on.

Most of issues people have with Windows can easily be explained by low quality hardware. If you need a decent laptop, you're looking at price tags above $1000. Depending on where you live, I wouldn't buy a Windows laptop below $1400, if you expect to be happy with it.

Honestly Microsoft should take steps to prevent the sale of Windows 10 on laptops without an SSD and at least 4GB of RAM. That would help the Windows brand tremendously.
When driving on roads with poor markings, I always follow other cars in front of me and in the other lanes to determine where my lane is. It's better to be in sync with the rest of the traffic than being "correct".

I'm a bit confused that self driving cars (at least Teslas) appear to ignore that. Even if they were right and it was the correct lane, isn't following it more dangerous than staying in sync with traffic?
There certainly are a huge number of westerners who go visit Asia and treat it like its Epcot Center in Disney World like a zoo that exists for their pleasure. These are real working cities with distinct and ancient cultures that should be respected. Too many westerners take advantage of the genuine hospitality offered by locals and never take the time to educate themselves, instead spending the whole time partying.

[RUBY] devscoop: Issue #6
What should the road look like (without the low dynamic range of the camera)? It looks like that's a junction and there should be a hashed white area between the slip road and the highway. At least that's what you'd see in the UK.

http://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/uploads/3/2/9/2/3292309/rule-...

In Britain you can contest parking fines if the double yellow lines are patchy, because arguably you could have missed them. There's also (I think) some laws that say that in order to enforce fines regions must be correctly marked, so the council has a duty to keep them well-painted. Seems like Tesla would argue similarly here.
Goats.
When exactly did we start to allow these half-baked products on the road?
Devil’s advocate: maybe the “results” from that spend are measured in how many people they persuade not to try to flee bail, rather than how many Julian Assanges they arrest. Of course that’s a metric that can’t really be measured, it may be a metric not worth spending that money on and the money being spent may not be succeeding, but it’s not necessarily as simple as “if they still haven’t arrested him it’s wasted money”.

(That said, I do personally think they’ve wasted a ridiculous amount on him, and I have many other issues with UK/London policing and police budgeting.)
But the difference is that other car manufacturers deliberately don't label it Autopilot. They call it "lane assist" (or similar). That makes clear that it keeps you in the lane, not that it drives the car for you. I.e., without proper lanes it cannot work.

I don't think Tesla's capabilities are the issue, their marketing is. They should've never called it Autopilot if it's just the standard adaptive cruise control + lane assist that nearly all manufacturers offer.

They would fail too, but I'm not aware of any adaptive cruise control from any manufacturer being sold as "autopilot".

In either case, I think the biggest(and insurmountable) obstacle to self-driving cars will be the fact that they rely on having clear signs, clear markings, clear lanes, signs not rotated by the wind or vandalised - and it's going to be impossible(due to cost) to maintain our infrastructure to the required level. Yes, Tesla can patch their system to work in this specific road situation - but there will be countless others.
Any known way to activate via some param or something?
Yeah, but that brain wobble will make you slow down and pay extra attention to your surroundings.
Actually on Windows we have come full circle as those CLR ideas, which were originally thought for COM Runtime, have been brought back into COM as UWP.

IBM mainframes also follow the multi-language environment philosophy.
I get that the system is designed to follow the white line, and that in this nightmarish freeway design, the white line leads straight into the divider. But I thought that the whole point of LIDAR/whatever Tesla uses for object detection was to be able to detect upcoming objects. This seems to have been a problem in the Uber pedestrian crash as well - while it was clear from that video that a human driver probably couldn’t have seen the woman, a LIDAR equipped vehicle should have easily detected that she was there and avoided her (and that Uber vehicle had full LIDAR I believe).

So what is going on here? I’m not a radar expert. Is there some fundamental flaw with this technology that is preventing it from “seeing” all objects under all circumstances? Or does the problem arise from faulty driving logic...perhaps the object detection system reports the object, and for whatever reason the system interpreting that data ignores it?
The first year was a really bad. Plain and simple. Now it is a decent device, but I'd take a Lenovo today if I had to make the choice. However, for note taking, the Surface Pro is second to none. The form factor, pen, and OneNote is a really good combo.
Other manufacturers market that product for collision avoidance, not to drive the car for you. These features can help to avoid accidents when the driver is tired or doesn't pay attention.
One of the biggest problems is the flat one-dimensional aspect of text files.

Overly-graphical solutions are clunky and not concise enough. However overly-flat environments like a plain text file also comes with huge problems.

What I have wanted forever is a smart environment that looks similar to a text editor but under the hood it's more of a structure editor (wayyy easier said than done).

Two main problems with text is,

1. parsing

2. inability to easily associate metadata with parts of the program without visual/syntax clutter

I'll expand on each point,

Parsing: parsing implies syntax and language structure and it causes inflexibility. the problem domain is infinite but we have only so many characters to work with. this creates some blessed first class concepts like "strings" and puts everything else at a disadvantage.

A smart structure editor can bypass the parsing problem. It comes at the cost of some fluidity in the authoring process because effectively you would have to say what you are about to place somewhere before placing it. So instead of typing "string" you would have to somehow say "here comes a string", then provide its value.

The problem with this is the fast text-based editing and typing that we are used to becomes difficult and clunky.

Metadata:

This is a big topic. But to give a summary, this gives us a way to have information present that doesn't get in the way.
For example consider an assignment 'name := "John"'. When we are stuck in a flat environment if you want to make that assignment a "const" now you have to turn that into 'const name := "John"'.

In many cases there are lots of attributes and extra information that you would like to attach to a piece of the program.

You don't necessarily want to invent words and keywords and language rules for them. You also don't necessarily want to always see all of them.

If we could easily attach metadata to the pieces of the program it would obviate the need for many language complexities as many things could be turned into metadata key values.

So if you wanted to make a name binding constant you could set "is mutable := no" on that part.

Once you have the ability to associate arbitrary and not arbitrary metadata to any piece of the program it opens up so many opportunities.

> Before, formatting text posts required the use of Markdown; now, there's a WYSIWYG toolbar too.

Ah, that's reassuring to see. So many sites have gone all-in on Markdown in the last few years, which seems to me to be resurrecting early 80s Wordstar-style formatting codes and rejecting the UI advances of Xerox Parc and the Mac.

Markdown has its place - essentially, something that's readable in both raw and rendered form - but it's not a consumer-friendly way of editing rich text, and I'm pleased to see Reddit recognise that.
Yes, people forget that a language gets chosen to solve a problem or as means to integrate a tool, and not the other way around.
Some time ago I wrote about academia vs industry in the context of data science:

In academia, you are allowed to cherry-pick an artificial problem and work on it for 2 years. The result needs to be novel, and you need to research previous and similar solutions. The solution needs to be perfect, even if not on time.

In industry, you should solve a given problem end-to-end. Things need to work, and there is little difference if it is based on an academic paper, usage of an existing library, your own code or an impromptu hack. The solution needs to be on time, even if just good enough and based on shady and poorly understood assumptions.

So, contrary to its name, data science is rarely science. That is, in data science the emphasis is on practical results (like in engineering) - not proofs, mathematical purity or rigour characteristic to academic science.

I bet it's just an oversight (given Wired's status - it's pretty serious media). I just dropped them a note.
Tesla does not use lidar, only regular cameras.
Parking fines are different as you cannot know about the restriction if there's no line. When driving, it's your responsibility to stay safe. If road markings and/or are bad, you have to slow down to avoid any danger.

The government has some limited duty to keep roads intact but you cannot expect perfect road conditions at all times. It would've been different if there had been an object on the road that the police knew about but chose not to remove.
Loss of even 1 life is far greater than the convenience gain for all other passengers combined. Current autopilot technology just isn't ready for the roads yet (some of them like this one in the video constructed with gross incompetence). This and many such future accidents to follow cannot be fixed by simple software glitches, instead, auto driving car manufacturers should be required to construct magnetic road white stripes for major highways and routes.

In principle the cameras can see the stationary object like we can, after all, we don't have LIDAR.

Fundamentally, though, that does seem like the long route to self driving. Being able to not drive into the proverbial wall seems like Job #1 of a pilot system. Tesla need to be careful they're not not creating a reputation for themselves at this point.
Yes, all it seems to be doing is drag the visual design towards Facebook, or towards what everybody is doing nowadays . You can call that "less dated", but it's also unoriginal.

Which is a shame, given that there's a decade of ideas here, from third-party add-ons like RES to all of the custom CSS from subreddits and everything. They could have taken the best parts and just improved Reddit, going in a unique direction regardless of what the rest of the Web currently happens to look like.

Can you even call it "design" if the end result makes it look more like everybody else?
It's news to me that they manufacture anything other than phones.

> hurting them by putting growth opportunities out of their reach.

You're asserting that the "alpha" of the private opportunities is higher, even after you've accounted for risk. This should be amenable to statistical evidence? Including all the VC-funded duds and collapsed buyouts like Toys R Us.

I'm not sure that retail investors want this kind of risk profile; it seems to me that the demand is phrased in terms of interest rates. And to get back to higher interest rates we'd need more inflationary pressure from growth - which we don't have.
Isn't lane keeping designed to avoid that you accidentally leave the lane? I'm not aware of any OEMs except Tesla marketing it as doing the job for you (except for congestion at low speed).

VW writes:

> The Lane Assist system is like a friendly co-driver. If it senses your car is drifting out of your driving lane it gently counter-steers the car back on line.

They explicitly say that it only corrects you, it doesn't replace steering by the driver.
