> Asking drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel while not steering guarantees that their attention will wander, because their brain isn’t getting enough stimulus to keep focused on the task.

Completely agree! When I'm driving her Tesla (no RSI issues here) I much prefer to use the adaptive cruise (which is really nice) and do my own steering for exactly the reason you cite. I have to pay attention anyway and steering keeps me from getting bored. Plus I do things like, you know, pass and keep myself from getting into bad situations that are many seconds ahead.

I only use AP to demonstrate it as a party trick to folks who have not seen it before. I half agree with the "use crowd sourcing to get AP training sets" but I completely disagree with how the thing is currently marketed -- even if (as you say) the legalese tries to cover Tesla.

Don't get me wrong: Her Model S is a spectacular car. I love it. But AP is somewhere between a party trick and a death trap unless, like my wife, you have serious problems holding the wheel for hours and are therefore happy to sit there and "supervise" what is a bad expressway autopilot.
The most interesting argument I've heard from the dozenal society is that the decimal system is inherently selfish. There is a reason that cases of beer come in packs of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 instead of 5, 10, 15, etc. It is much more likely you will be able to divide them equally amongst a group of arbitrary size.
I have a Leesa and liked it so much that I bought 2 more for the rest of my beds.

It feels great for me, I like a firmer mattress, but it’s not too firm.

Here are the highlights:

1. Half the price of the equivalent at Sleep Country

2. Didn’t have to deal with mattress sales people. Margins are so high there is usually a negotiation. Given the varying types of materials, I don’t really know how to price and why I should bother knowing the ins and outs of mattresses. I don’t like the upsells. Makes it feel like going to a car dealership.

3. Shipped and got delivered fairly fast.

Cons:

1. Buying it sight unseen can be unnerving, especially for a $1,000 purchase. I guess that’s why they have the generous return policy.

2. Differentiation. I don’t know how Casper is different from Leesa. I went on a review site and trusted it, I guess, but even then, they seemed to be made the same way more or less.

Completely agree with you, basic php is really straightforward: one webpage = one php file. Nothing fancy. Basic Java is 1k layers of abstraction. That's why people tend to learn php on their own and java in school.
Can’t see the point. I need my Unix tools, like git, ssh and wget etc to have full file system and network access. Having them run in a hypervisor adds overhead and complexity for no real benefit.

weird, I played for a while and then the game suddenly ended. Maybe there's a time limit? I'm guessing you're supposed to write a Tetris AI in Julia to get a high score, but the scoreboard seems to be just humans so far -- I was able to get 2nd place without too much trouble. :)

One thing that bugged me: the "hold" piece is position directly above the other pieces in the queue, which constantly tricked my peripheral vision into thinking that the hold piece was next. But I suppose a detail like that doesn't matter to an AI.

He could make this a win for both consumers and himself if he goes after Amazon where it really fails badly: counterfeit goods.
The article title is "Donald Trump steps up attacks on Amazon" and the article offers no evidence for the current post's title of "Trump is not entirely wrong. Is Amazon too big?".

In fact the article states that USPS profits off of Amazon, exactly the opposite of the accusation.

In keeping with tradition here, the answer to the post's question is "no".
> Then C++ added new abstraction mechanisms on top of C, that were at first totally orthogonal: just classes and templates.

Not quite. Classes are based on struct types in C. Templates are based on classes, function types, and more.

> As C++ becomes less and less capable of doing these low-level unsafe things (because too many people caused too much damage attempting this), and adds more ceremony to the old ways of peeking and poking memory, it becomes less useful to me.

This is not the truth. It is just never supported in a portable way. And there is no other choice. ISO C is also always lack of that capability (if not more restricted). Nevertheless, you can still rely on the usefulness provided by implementations, as-is.

This is an incredibly stupid headline. Trump didn’t criticize Amazon because it was a monopoly, he criticized it because he thinks that Amazon owns the Washington Post and he’s mad at the Washington Post.

One key difference is how much time operators have to figure out what's going on before action is necessary. If an aircraft autopilot fails, time before crash is likely measured in minutes, so the pilot taking 10 seconds to snap back into pilot mode still gives a pretty good likelihood of a favorable outcome. In a car, 10 seconds of no or bad driving on the part of the autopilot is pretty likely to cause a collision.

Even so, it's been implicated in crashes, notably Air France 447.
Avoiding an entire class of storage technology because one vendor's implementation went down in 2012 seems a little questionable.

OVH isn't exactly a shining example of a quality engineering organization. Simple web searches show how they have misused things and cause large outages.

Ceph is very reliable and durable. We've actually gone out of our way to try and corrupt data, but we failed every time. It always repaired the data correctly and brought things back into a good working state.

Ceph and Yahoo run very large Ceph clusters at scale, too.
It's of tremendous importance from the perspective of public perception of who's at fault.

If the average observer watching the published video arrives at a conclusion of "well I would have hit that person too, she appeared out of nowhere in front of the car", it obviously matters.
Not a Leesa but I have 3 Brooklyn Bedding mattresses.

I don't have a critique from any sort of experience aside from that I sleep well and its comfortable.

I have the soft king size for the bedroom, and 2x full size mediums for the guest beds.

My wife stole the free giant shredded foam pillow. I probably couldn't take it from her if I tried.

I own a Hästens bed, which is supposedly among the best box springs (with a horsehair topper) you can buy. I also own a latex mattress from IKEA, made by a really famous latex manufacturer, which has been discontinued to sell inferior options.

These are good, but in my case they couldn't beat a setup that is an order of magnitude cheaper, simpler and better. A simple custom-made japanese shikibuton, filled with felted wool panels and a buckwheat pillow. I put this on a modular set of bed slates to avoid insects, get better airing and avoid cold floors.

I treated a few years of my life as an experiment to improve my sleep. I bought a Hästens and that latex IKEA mattress. I used them for 3 years, switching back and forth every 6 months. Then I made this custom shikibuton, and after a few months I never looked back.

There is some literature which explains how we evolved sleeping in relatively firm setups. Big, expensive and mushy mattresses tend to be a bit too soft and you end up developing neck aches as I did. A better option is just some slightly flexible wood base, or a tatami, and some thin cushion. In fact, another less unconventional setup I like is a horsehair topper, like one of those from Hästens, on top of some wooden base.

My shikibuton is really cheap. It's washable! I can open my futon, put felted wool panels in the washing machine and it's dry in a day. It's very comfortable. It's ended up my perennial neck issues. It's convenient, I can transport the whole system in my tiny car.

A simpler, non-washable alternative is to have a big cover filled up with buckwheat hulls. Every 6 months, compost hulls, buy new ones, and wash cover. Every month, empty hulls into a bag and wash cover.

I don't understand why this alternative is not more popular in the West.
I suspect at some point t we might see Amazon regulated like a utility. For example in Australia/UK phone networks must give reasonably priced access for virtual phone network companies to use their infrastructure and compete.

I'd love to see something like this with companies like Walmart. Imagine that got broken up into 6,000 invividual stores. It would be a jobs boom with every store now needing an accountant, marketing help etc. Then we have 6,000 stores all looking back into each others markets wondering if the can open a competing store and how they can improve. I really think breaking g up large companies will be a boom for economies.
I’d say your comment put us at stage 2.

New ideas pass through three periods:

1) It can’t be done.

2) It probably can be done, but it’s not worth doing.

3) I knew it was a good idea all along!

IMO it looks like the mattress business is 99% marketing.

It is a rectangle of foams, I would love it if companies stopped pretending that they spent thousand of man hours improving it while they all come from the same factory (I am not even exaggerating much here :/ ).

I moved to the US recently and was shocked by how big the mattress business is here and how costly these are.

Even so, the places that Tesla and Waymo primarily drive - while "easy" for an autonomous car - should then also be easier for human drivers. His point is that they're in fewer mistakes and human drivers. In the end that is all we need from these cars. As long as they make fewer mistakes than us they are a success.

You can't look at it that way.

I mean, while that IS a valid approach, you have to also keep in mind that the more you can "go without", the better the position you are in to improve your life.

To change requires you not to be running at 100% all the time. You have to find a way to save some oomph for lateral growth when the way up seems to be blocked. Without that oomph, you'll never get out of where you are.
And anti-trumpers don't defend Amazon because they don't believe it's a monopoly, they defend it because Trump criticizes it.

The point is that the motivation doesn't matter too much if the end result is the same. Amazon IS too big and we need to do something about it. We can all have differing motivations but still want the same thing.

There used to be a way. The user had to fill a form and pay (less than 100usd, IIRC) and they would set up a custom domain for you.

The last time I googled it they had it discontinued this option.
Most online mattress reviews are part of affiliate programs and aren't trustworthy. It's also impossible to review something so personal.

For example, someone else in these comments loves their floor futon, but I loathe mine.
The problem is straight forward: Amazon is clearly not too big today. Their retail sales are a bit over a third that of Walmart (and that's only if we count the marketplace sellers in Amazon's retail total). They have plenty of competition in cloud services, Azure and Google will likely gradually continue to take market share there.

It will be too big in retail, tomorrow - maybe. Given all that can go wrong, that's a big maybe. Pre-emptively punishing them for what they may or may not become ten years from now, is an obnoxious perversion of justice. It's a massively positive for consumers today that Amazon exists, that they have the scale that they do, and that they're as friendly toward consumers as they are.

It'll still take another ten years of torrid growth just for Amazon to catch up to Walmart's retail scale.
you can find mattresses all day long for $50-$75 on craigslist, i dont know what these people are talking about paying $1,000 for a mattress.

This is in HCI 101; we learned this by air traffic controllers crashing planes.
Oh, do test things in production.

Can’t understate the need for good network, especially with the traffic amplification of replication.

I was running 2x10GE and had plans to scale up the cluster network to 2x or 3x10GE.

My biggest issue was the MTTR of a failed cluster. If one is RBD mirroring to a different cluster, recovery time may be hours or days.

That said, I had one cluster run continuously for a couple years with basically zero administration. It had great performance and good reliability other than that one week-long service impacting incident as a result of a bug.

I’d definitely run it again.

Alternatively: Have a mattress for 10 years, do nothing.
May I quote from the end of the article:

“Prof Wilson was also cautious about the timeframe, saying that while the project was exciting he couldn’t see how it would achieve its goal of putting energy on the grid within 15 years.”

That’s deep enough for me.
Probably because foam mattresses cost next to nothing to make... (and also because foam mattresses are better then spring mattresses)

I thought I loved the idea of a solid-chunk-of-memory-foam mattress. But now I've identified that it's causing me serious back/neck problems; maybe it just doesn't suit my body-type or something.

As an American that moved to Europe before I was old enough to ever buy an expensive mattress, what Americans spend on mattresses is always incredibly baffling.

New, king sized (1.8 x 2.0 m), mattresses go for €200-1500 (about $250-1800) in Germany, with prices gravitating towards the lower end of the spectrum. Americans use much springier mattresses (box springs are unheard of here, and foam mattresses are standard), but I'm incredibly skeptical that quality of sleep is systemically worse. The whole thing has the feeling of a ginormous scam / rent-seeking.

No you won't. Bankruptcy is a thing. You have a put option to pay for medical care at the price of "all your non-creditor-protected assets". If you're in a reasonable place like Texas and you're maxing out IRA/401k and paying down your mortgage on your primary residence, you're going to be fine financially as long as you can either work or have good disability insurance.

You don't need to do it that frequently if you don't want to!

Buckwheat hulls can easily last 5 years without maintenance. Still, I prefer the wool alternative, which again doesn't need to be cleaned often or at all, as most people do with their regular mattresses.

The fact that stuff is washable is an advantage for me, because I'm a bit allergic, and regular mattresses don't have a simple way to be deeply cleaned. The best thing you can do so far is to vacuum them with a Dyson for mattresses.
Man, wish I could ever get pings this low - the link from my VDSL2 model to the local CenturyLink CO alone is 8-15ms depending on the day.

"Salt" by Kurlansky.

"The Master Switch" by Wu on telecoms and broadcasting.

"Ascent of Money" by Ferguson has some critics, but it's got some great historical anecdotes on the history of financial tools, like fractional reserves and insurance, weirdly captivating.

Those are all economic history... If you really want a pop intro to econ principles, maybe Planet Money? Pretty much everyone should listen to Planet Money anyway, it's just great radio.
> I'd love to see something like this with companies like Walmart.

I think there would be some serious unintended consequences here. Think about Walmart's negotiating position and logistics network going up in smoke overnight. Costs go up and selection vanishes. This hurts doubly in small to medium sized towns where Walmart already crushed the competition.
