I have an OLPC XO, and they are an amazing machine for children in under-developed countries:

- Built-in camera & microphone

- Oscilloscope app

- Special O/S that goes dormant and uses minimum power when idle, to maximize battery life

- Can be charged with primitive generators and manual labour

- Networked

Brilliant design. Too bad too many governments never understood this and thought a PC or Apple laptop were the same thing.

Kubernetes Security – Best Practice Guide
My first drive with auto pilot tried to follow into the back of a stopped car in a turning lane and randomly had phantom breaking issues like going under overpasses.

Not to mention there are things most people do defensively while driving that autopilot doesn't: anticipate a vehicle coming into my lane by both looking at the wheel position and the lateral movement. Autopilot ignores those pieces of information and data until it's in basically in your lane.

Personally I feel I have to be more on guard and attentive with it on because I know their are fatal bugs.

I am grave d'accord avec toi
General answer since this is a general question.

DB engine: Postgres, something more exotic (dgraph, cassandra etc) depending on use case.

API layer: Microservices with grpc, write services in languages which are/will be good for each service's use case. Allows for a relatively easy longterm upgrade path, service rewrites in new languages when staffing or needs require.

Frontend: React, because a) it's great and b) you will worst case be able to reuse a lot of techniques if you decide to use React Native, best case a lot of code. Structure the frontend with lerna and you can avoid the churn of JS build tooling for more stable parts of your application.

Caching: Redis or Memcache

PaaS: I like GCP more but they're pretty much the same dish plated by different chefs.
Something can lack obvious discoverability and still be good interaction design. In fact, I'd argue it's beneficial in this case, since it's generally an advanced/power user feature.
There is no logical connective in your implied argument. Just because A is trying to buy from B does not mean that B should sell things to A, even if A's spending would increase the quality of B's product.
In your example, since we now have a mandatory testing/licensing scheme and insurance, I see no reason why CCW's countrywide shouldn't become shall-issue. There should also be a stipulation that licensing is a thing you grant to people, not individual weapons.

Another example I floated in previous threads is surfacing psychological issues in NICS checks (stuff like certain diseases or involuntary holds) and granting access to that system to everyday people rather than just retailers.

It's amazing how many "basics" Tesla is missing with the statement that their cars have all the tech to be fully self driving. I have an Infiniti QX80 with the surround camera system, lane stay, and collision warning system. Unlike Tesla, they've not gone as far as to implement an autopilot feature and from what I can tell, for good reason. In the less than a year I've owned it, the side warning collision sensor / camera combination have falsely identified phantom threats due to road dust and debris and entirely missed real threats. The sensors simply don't have a self cleaning mechanism like our eyes which is one fairly obvious problem that's lead to a few issues with my QX80. In looking through Tesla's marketing white papers and what-not I see no mention of how they keep their sensor system clean. It seems like that should be a pretty basic concern.

I agree that since that statement is at the top of the /autopilot page may insinuate that that's what Autopilot is, but that statement is describing the hardware on the cars rather than the software. I think that's intended to be read as "if you buy a new Tesla, you'll be able to add the Full Self-Driving Capability with a future software update; no hardware updates required." It could be made more clear, though.

I've previously worked in defense contracting, as I've said in a sibling comment. Getting DARPA money is seen as extremely awesome and exciting in the industry because it usually means you get to work on amazing futuristic technology that they private sector would never fund and without needing a strategy for monetization.

Anyways, is working on software to, for example, improve the day-to-day tasks of soliders and marines really morally inferior to selling people's private data to advertisers? - Most military projects do not involve tactical systems.

> When I think about UBI I worry about responsible spending and wonder if just subsidizing common items food, clothing (diapers) and household goods wouldn't be a smarter solution overall.

Irresponsible spending is precisely what will happen with UBI. When you cut a check not earmarked for a specific purpose (food, rent, clothing, etc.) you will inevitably end up with people mismanaging their money and coming back for more ("but I'm broke through absolutely no fault of my own, how will I afford to eat?"). This will lead to backstops beyond UBI for people facing emergencies, which will lead to a small but significant portion of people gaming the system by, well, having "emergencies" every month that leave them unable to afford necessities.

The fatal flaw of UBI is assuming that there will be no abuse.

I suspect that human driven errors like this will lead the shipping industry to transition to autonomy. Through this whole story the autopilot was the only one steering the ship, the humans in the loop were responsible for plotting and course setting. Obviously this is a bad idea. It's not hard to imagine an expert software system that could have done a better job with this situation, especially in processing the text based weather data coming over the C-sat.

Apparently some Norweigans agree with me and are doing exactly this. I suspect this will become the future norm once the bugs are ironed out.

The HN policy seems to be that later posts on the same topic (even if they're different urls) will be considered duplicates, unless an article adds significant new information [1]. Otherwise you get discussion about the same topic split over multiple threads, leading to both repetition and incompleteness on each thread.

If you think this article contains significant new information, or that it is a better source than the earlier post and should be the one linked from that thread, you should email the mods – hn@ycombinator.com.

TL;DR - scammers would search for every possible phone number, find out the owners' names & info, and make scam calls to them. FB tried to limit searches per IP, but scammers would switch IPs.

Seems like a safer version of this would have been to make the searcher supply more info than the phone number - eg, at least N characters of the person's name. And to tie such searches to an account. And to verify that the found people knew the searcher before allowing them to do more searches.
I'd imagine that would result in a slew of false triggers, because one can slightly vary the angle or pressure of their touch without intending to invoke any kind of secondary action. One of the reasons I like the implementation of 3D Touch versus e.g. long press on Android is that it's a deliberate, positive input.
Ask HN: How are you using React Native in your production app?
It's now 2018. Most hype and notable examples I saw with RN were around 2016 (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/showcase.html).

What is the state of React Native today? How are you using it successfully, and at what scale? Any large applications that have fully implemented it?

My success isn't beyond fast proofs-of-concepts or simple ux applications. Success for me is defined as a system engineered simply and effectively.

So my naive assumption is that it cannot reach much "success" beyond the hype it generates in the JS community. I work on production native iPad apps with iOS, and can not imagine that their development in RN would be "simple" like it is natively. Cross-platform is great & I can develop fast with RN-- But, I always feel like something is off, and that I'm engineering around leaky-abstractions and that "custom tweaks/hacks" occur more often than not (which rarely occur when working with native SDKs).

Yes that may be wrong, however it would have to have gotten much worse for someone buying diapers to be worse off than 50 years ago, since their price in terms of purchasing power has plummeted in the meantime.

I don't know about the average "industrial wage", but that sounds like a bad metric to focus on. Manufacturing in the US has dropped from around 25% during this time down into the single digits, so it's not as common a job as it used to be. If anything I'd expect the wage to have gone up, since those jobs are now more specialized.

Agree with quite a few comments here. The most profound one was an observation I made too: FB is effectively strengthening its monopoly by using the Cambridge debacle. Feels very much like post financial crisis behavior of the too big to fail banks (I worked for one).

But perhaps more importantly: Are "Instagram" partners actually affected? Beasts like Salesforce.com and Oracle consume huge amounts of data. There are dozens that consume audience data etc. Pretty sure that they are paying license fees to continue to operate with much more sensible API permissions and limits.

Wow that is actually disgusting.

There might be a lower limit IQ you might need to be able to hold enough data in your head to archive specific thoughts but i don't think that this limit is very high.

XO-1 uses a 7.5" 1200x900 display. That's about the size of a small-ish tablet (e.g. the iPad Mini has a 7.9" screen) or the "old" netbooks (EEEPC 700 had a 7" display).

Adults can work fine with that, and the XO-1 is targeted towards late kids and young teens.

But the two Majorana particles in the decomposition are the Majorana particles they are measuring, or they are different? In particular, if they join two of the Majorana particles they are measuring, can they form an electron or they get something bigger?

[This is a tricky question, because the "electrons" in a crystal are not exactly the electrons in vacuum, for example they have a different effective mass.]

Also, can they measure the charge of the Majorana particles using the Hall effect or something, or trying to measure the charge destroy the quasiparticle?
Automated just-in-time manufacturing and fulfillment
This is an incredible bug, not just for its severity, but for its relative simplicity. And of course because it targets one of the most ubiquitous and popular and ostensibly secure software interfaces ever.

Also very interesting how long it took for them to figure out a solution. The bug report was filed and acknowledged in late September. According to the author, Google struggled with how to fix the issue for several months, even though the fix seemed simple ("don’t follow cross-domain redirects for pinged sitemaps").

Don't give up, it takes time. If I shave off everything, it takes around 2 weeks before it's pretty good, and a month before I'm actually happy with it. But now that I have it, maintenance is super easy, I just keep the edges under control and trim any stragglers and stray hairs.

All beards look scraggly as they grow at first, you need to give it time to properly fill in before you give up. If you can, let it grow wild for a month, resist the urge to cut or trim. Then you can start adjusting it.

The most important tips I got were to set the bottom edge right above your Adam's apple, make it mostly a straight line and feather it out, so you don't have a hard edge. Feather in the sideburns as well. For the cheeks, I prefer to keep them natural or just lightly trimmed, but it depends on how hirsute you are.

I buzz my head without the guard, to the shortest possible setting. I did shave my head for a while, but I decided it isn't really worth it.
In this one specific case sure, the AP was confused about the lane markings and followed the wrong path. But in plenty of other cases the AP is responsible for preventing accidents (no, I have no link to back up my statement). Assuming that is the case, then that is what I would describe as reducing the likelihood of accidents. You cannot focus on a specific accident (or even a handful of accidents) and use that to refute the systemic benefits.

Not really. In countless rural societies, throughout the world and through history, it's been commonplace for people to help each other with building their homes, making dirt roads and small bridges, making food and many other tasks - without charging each other for money or bartering.

Essentially a small village can work much like a very large family and people would use money almost only when interacting with strangers in a different village.

Dad got to fly it one time. He was on a business trip to France, meeting up with a German colleague for the visit. When he was done and arrived at CDG for the flight home, it turned out that Air France was going on strike and he was going to be stuck in Paris for a few days until everyone went back to work (not the worst place to be stranded...)

But his German colleague, who wasn't so much German as Prussian, felt this was unacceptable and went up to the counter and started yelling at the ticket agent. After 10 minutes of this, the agent shrugged and got dad the last seat on the Concorde (he was watching the clock for when the strike was to start anyway, so what did he care).

Dad was 6'3" (190cm) so it was a tight fit. But he said it was a memorable flight and something he was glad to have gotten the ability to do.
