IANAL but my father is. This is exactly the advice he gave me in a similar situation. OP is the legal owner of the IP, if he was never given compensation, or signed away the rights. If I was in the OP's place, I would tell his family about this, but also that he doesn't intend to lawyer up. It sounds like the business is reliant on OP, OPs code, and OP's talents, so it would be in the best interest for every party involved to give OP a fair share of the company.
Civilization 6 is definitely an AAA game and it supports Linux if strategy is your thing. Tested it myself with both AMD and Nvidia cards on Ubuntu and apart from few minor glitches it works just fine.
You say that but people will happily drive at 50+ down a narrow country road. I think the "narrow = slower" only works for a limited period of time before people get normalised to it.
I threw up a little bit in my mouth reading this.

You have likely never been put into a situation like this, because if you had you would know that this is not true in reality. It's significantly more complicated than you make it out to be.
I think you'll find almost every community of a competitive game eventually turns into a mostly toxic one. I don't really understand why (it seems a little reductionist to say that most people are toxic and therefore as a community grows most of it will tend towards being toxic), but I keep seeing it no matter what kind of game it is (RTS, MOBA, RPG, etc)

> the robot has a model of itself and the world around it, and when it "looks at the world" it's actually looking at that model.

That would be the classical "sense, plan, act" approach to AI. There is also a whole array of more "reactive" solutions, that only relies on sensor inputs without building any world model. Brooks' "Intelligence without reason" [^1] is probably one of the best papers out there in describing how this way is better suited to build complex robotic/AI systems and apply them to real-world scenarios.

Just a note. Switzerland ranks better than the UK. By inhabitants: Switzerland (2.6), Sweden (2.8) and UK (2.9). By motor vehicles: Switzerland (3.6), Finland (4.4), Sweden (4.7) and UK (5.1). By number of kilometres driven: Sweden (3.5), Switzerland (3.6) and UK (3.6).

I'd also note that most European countries are hot on the heels of the UK, Sweden and Switzerland by the above measures. By comparison, the US numbers are 10.6, 12.9 and 7.1, respectively. Most European countries are well below those numbers.

Particularly in Western European and Nordic countries, the driving tests are very strict. Even for all the stereotypes, France's numbers of 5.1, 7.6 and 5.8 are quite good, and they are moving in the right direction.

Sendgrid charge you to use a dedicated IP address for sending your mail. If you don't set this up -- and configure your SPF record to specify this IP, against the explicit instructions Sendgrid gives you -- anyone else can sign up with Sendgrid and send email as you. Their configuration guides and tooling actually encourage you to enable impersonation on yourself.

So, maybe they're doing everything they can to prevent spamming, but they're sure doing a lot to encourage phishing.

Tell me about it. You'd think the ocean is a big enough place to avoid accidents, but somehow 16 year olds skippering their parents boats find their way into the path of my Whaler while I quietly sit fishing.
Similar story as app.net, the paid twitter replacement that was cool for 33 seconds, arguably poor naming though on both counts given one suggests something else and the second I have no idea how to pronounce.
Nothing. I have a Github page (and no im not using git to deploy), full html and I put my very simple but useful (for me) Javascript programs.

I have another page which is a LAMP stack but that is not actually a blog, just my applications for my use. But I am going to change it into Flask/Nginx. In time I am going to deploy all my Javascript into Flask too.

edit:
wow, i said 'nothing'. I meant not anything fancy.
> Specifically it works completely correctly like 80 - 90% of the time and as a result, if you use it a lot, you start to expect it to be working and not fail.

Different environment (and stakes), but I observed the same thing happening a couple of times during IT incident response. The automation crashed/failed/got into a situation it could not automatically fix, and the occurrence was rare enough that people actually panicked and it took them quite a while to fix what in the end was a simple issue. They just didn't have the "manual skill" (in one case, the tools to actually go and solve the issue without manually manipulating databases) anymore.
I agree that the article is conflating a couple of things:

- chrome extension that have the sole purpose of mining

- chrome extension that covertly mine cryptocurrencies

- malware that has nothing to do with chrome extensions and that mines cryptocurrencies

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted here, but I guess it's because your post comes off as a bit dismissing.
If people are using it, not paying attention, with the expectation that it will beep to tell you to take over that's a big problem. In situations like this divider issue it won't beep, it thinks everything is fine right up until it rams you into a stationary object. I think people may not be fully aware of all the potential failure modes of this tech?
My hope is that the testing to obtain a driver's license becomes much harder to get and easy to lose. Like a airplane pilots license.
Yes, but this system won't. It's an infrared triangulation system, not a LIDAR and at 780nm it probably won't work outdoors.
Thanks for the feedback. I was suspecting something as such when looking at TDP and teardowns but could not find a single review talking about this. FWIW I have a early '13 rMBP at home from before they moved to single fan (late '13) and it's definitely better at keeping things in check under load at a decent volume than my work-provided mid '14.
$1337 is a joke. This bug is worth so much more than that in potential lost revenue to Google!
How is the package distributed? If the parents are homeless, where is it sent? If the package is stolen or damaged, how do they get a new one?

What is the basis if your concern? Over and over again studies show that poor people are no worse at managing money than non-poor people. Probably better, since they have so little to waste.

In this weird present where Gawker now has decent journalism, I'll quote from http://gawker.com/poor-people-do-not-just-blow-any-money-the... :

> The popular image of the "Welfare Queen" is one that is seared in the mind of many Americans. No big surprise, since countless millions of political advertising dollars were used to put it there. Nevertheless, evidence shows that the welfare state in the US, to the extent that we have one, works—that giving poor people tax breaks, and social welfare, and, yes, cash aid helps to bring people out of poverty and allows them to lead more bearable lives. ...

> I will politely refrain from addressing the racist overtones of the "poor people are lazy and stupid" position because they should not need lengthy explanations to debunk.

> Poor people are not perfect. Nor are middle class people, or rich people. Wasting money is a possibility, among humans.
> It is not easy to pass the driving test, with some people failing multiple times. It means that people only get a license when they are ready for it.

And that's the way it should be. The driving test may not be easy, but it's not any more difficult than driving is. People should be held to a high standard when controlling high speed hunks of metal.

There is such a thing as "absolute poverty" - rather than relative poverty [0]

"a condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on income but also on access to services"

I don't know, if the statistic for the USA is as high as the 13.5% cited by GP, but based on what I read about, and some small amount of personal experience, it is unusually high for such a wealthy, proud nation.

For the British merchant fleet, 19.5 deaths per 100,000 seafarer-years [1].

For American loggers, 90 deaths per 100,000 worker-years [2] making it the most dangerous job.

For American taxi drivers, ~18 deaths (of which 8 are murders) per 100,000 full-time-worker-years [2]. Making taxi driver the most murdered profession - and it was worse around 2000, when the rate was an eye-watering 23.7 murders.

As you say, policing isn't the most dangerous profession; the rate there is 11 deaths of which 3.5 are murders.

Ask HN: How to grow, evolve a freelance business
I've a freelance/consultancy business for almost 2 years now. With my strong Linux Sysadmin and back-end dev background
I specialized on the hole "DevOps" theme and basically help customers to migrate their
classic on-prem/basic cloud infrastructure to a more modern approach. Containers, CI/CD, metrics monitoring,
centralized logging, deployment strategies, all of that stuff.

The positioning works great, because the topic is kind of hyped now with tech like Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus
etc. and people offering these services with a decent level of experience are still rare. I never
had trouble finding new customers and the business is doing great.

Still, facing the facts, as long as the business solely depends on me, my growth has a hard cap.
I will not overcome my limited time, I can only do a few projects at the same time and the market will only accept a
certain rate for my services. Also getting ill or more free time for family has direct implications on the business
performance. It just doesn't scale.

To overcome this situation I need to evolve my business into something that scales. The easy answer would be just hire
some people. This would introduce a lot of fix costs I'm trying to avoid. Also the investment from my side (time + money)
is something I can't really define. Before new people benefit the business in any way they would need training, which has
direct implications on the time I can spend in projects. I would also face the risk of employees leaving the company for
whatever reasons, which would have quiet an impact.

I wonder if you maybe tackled a similar situation or have a tip how overcoming this scalability issue could look like.
Do I maybe need to accept that substantial growth requires a substantial investment?
I work mostly solo on the web platform which is in Kotlin. It uses our 3D printing algorithms which are written in Java (which I also work on). Some weeks I'm writing mostly Java, others Kotlin.

We're looking for engineers in London incidentally, if anyone is interested. See my post in this month's who's hiring.
Totally agree. All current data should be deleted.
Receiving 1337 $s from Google is awesome, but that bug bounty should have been higher.
> But when you go back to a country that uses only toilet paper you either have to go out of your way (and pay a lot of money to renovate your bathroom) to find the kind of modern automated toilet seat that does add the features you've just left behind, or you just do as everyone else does.

Having gotten use to the bidet, I now bring a bottle of water with me, and wet the toilet paper before wiping. It leaves me about as clean as with a bidet.

4. This statistics must be conditioned. Not all drivers are the same. Some are careful, some are not. So in fact, the careful drivers will make their life miserable by using autopilot.
Since it would be one software being used many times over, I'd be fine if it could pass a large number of driving test with very low failure rate, considering driving tests are quite random in how they are applied. The question is however which driving test. My experience in Switzerland was that the practical driving test was quite hard to pass, I had to train a lot to satisfy them completely and they route you for one hour quite randomly around a European medieval town and its outskirts, i.e. a place that's quite hard to navigate correctly as it's not built for cars.
Those meshes are made by subdividing an octahedron. Approximating an sphere like that has the nice property that the triangles in each subdivision level have the same surface area, and you can use the same underlying texture for all the levels since in the 2D projection the sub triangles are also regular subdivisions of their parents.
>Turn on the feature to hide photos you're tagged in and tell people you know they're not to show photos of you to other people then?

That does protect you to some level. But throw in machine learning with image processing and simple metadata extraction and while your friends might not see the photo, Facebook can potentially figure out if you're in the photo whether or not you've been tagged, where the photo was taken, what camera the photo was taken with, what mood you're in, who's with you, what clothes you're wearing etc etc. And then they'll sell that data without ever telling you.

I have a bigger issue with that happening than I have issues with friends seeing photos I may not have wanted to posted myself, to be honest.
That's one way of looking at it. Another is that the privilege is having time and energy with which to apply to cleaning diapers. We're increasingly time-poor these days, in particular when we're working multiple jobs to make ends meet.
Yes I did several projects bringing Kubernetes to production. In the cloud a little easier then on-prem. But always a real enabler for everyone working with K8s.
If they do I'm surprised of the latest accident tbh.

Goto your gist, click the arrow next to the 'embed' button, and pick one of the clone options.
Can't you just detect force, because the surface of the touch increases slightly, due to your skin being flexible? Seems like a feature you could emulate anyway.

How can anyone take a company serios that sells features such as "Bio-Weapon Defense Mode". It almost sounds like snake oil and not far from something like the ADE 651.

Before I fill the form, can you please give a quick disclosure about any other interest that you have in this, if any, specially about the data. There are lot of threads about some suspicion here, but I can't find any direct response.
I agree with most of your points however I'm not convinced by your problem number 2:

>you should check the autopilot against a rested and concentrated driver that drives slowly and with a lot of care. Since in the statistics otherwise you do not account for the fact that when you drive, you are in control, and you can decide your level of safety. Such a diligent driver that goes to crash because of an immature software is terrible.

I think you overestimate the rationality of human beings. I commute to work by motorcycle every day and I've noticed that I tend to ride more dangerously (faster, "dirtier" passes etc...) when I'm tired, which rationally is stupid. I know that but I still instinctively do it, probably because I'm in a rush to get home or because I feel like the adrenaline keeps me awake.

This is an advantage of autonomous vehicles, they can be reasonable when I'm not. I expect that few drivers (and especially everyday commuters like me) constantly drive "slowly and with a lot of care". A good enough autonomous vehicle would.
Umbraco have released a pretty cool REST framework for this approach, and I've built a few React apps off of it.

I remember seeing a demo of it where it was being used to build webapps in Node and Ruby, alongside React, which for a .NET CMS is pretty cool.
It's not that religions are idiotic. It's that trying to enact any moral framework homogenously across a global population is idiotic and completely unrealistic.

To be fair it's not the TB itself that bumps the price but the addition of a second TB controller and a beefier CPU.
Google, Bing, Wolfram Alpha, and Siri all parse that query properly and answer it perfectly. Do you have an example of something Cyc does that none of those services do?
Accurate, I appreciate the levelness of your thought.

I'll leave it here, just noticed dang gave me another warning above. It's not an easy job, I know.
That is exactly replicable in SPARQL against DBPedia (and probably Wikidata).

It's also fairly useless in that it doesn't give the "commonsense" answer of London as the first result and commonsense is what Cyc has always been supposed to do. (And yes I understand that CityOfLondonEngland probably has a plain English label too).
François Rabelais did a thorough explanation on the best ways to wipe back in hist late 15th century books (don't remember which one exactly, sorry). After discussing the virtues of various sorts of leaves, hay, moss, he concludes that the best wiping material is a small, soft bird. :)
I have the MacBook Pro 2017 edition and this is by far the worst upgrade I've experienced for such a high-end, luxury item.

It's all USB-C. Virtually nobody else supports USB-C, not even Apple.
Oh, you want HDMI? €100 please.

I also have an iPhone 8 which is on the Lightning connector. The audio jack is gone and guess what, there's no Lightning connector on the MacBook, so you'll need 2 pairs of headsets or an adapter.

The glowing logo is gone. And the Touch Bar is a clusterfuck. In an ironic touch, the default Touch Bar setup shows the Siri button at all times. I guess if you have multiple clusterfucks you make them link to one another.

I still have the 2015 at home. I think that was the best MacBook Pro made thus far and looking at the differences I'm now contemplating a move to a Linux laptop — not the same polish, but it won't be this expensive either and I won't feel bad about supporting a company that's getting increasingly hostile towards work laptops and touch typists.
Installing mklinux in the late 90s on an old 6100 by transferring disks copied over the internet that took a few days each, while everyone was sleeping, and sometimes the disks failed, then getting the damn thing installed.. but then it worked! Gave me a reward for my perseverance, and I've been getting that reward since as I continue to stubbornly chase bugs and fix genuinely interesting problems.

I learned by trial and error, before you could just google a problem and have it pop up in StackOverflow. It taught me one major lesson: debugging is how you learn about everything in the environment. A bug is an opportunity to explore the programming environment, framework etc and you'll get a grasp of the platform through searching for solutions. StackOverflow is nice for quick fixes but it doesn't give you the deep knowledge that debugging does. I recommend to my team, if they find a bug spend half a day figuring stuff out from the ground up (where we have that time luxury) and it makes everyone more knowledgable in the long term.
And it's worth noting that Google and Bing generate that answer without human intervention, so no complex data engineering etc..
Me neither. Nothing like a saucy koan to snap me out of an infinite stoopid-loop.
IMHO this is kinda of a mental trick. How good it is an hammer that allows you to place a nail 90% of times? Percentage of failures is not usefulness, or a value of perfection, like: I'm 80% handsome, that is a lot handsome. Something that has 20% of failures rate instead is terrible.
