Google did a great job starting the Kubernetes community, but they then contributed the project to CNCF (which Google also helped launch). Google remains the top contributor to Kubernetes, but even as their contributions remain substantial, their % of the total contributions is going down, due to the large number of other organizations now backing Kubernetes.

1. Suicides rates are influenced by other factors, such as weather (Finland, etc), societal norms (Japan), etc.

2. The US would move further up the suicide table if you classify deaths from overdosing as suicides.

3. If the US population had not had such an easy access to "happy pills" (mood enhancers), the suicide rate would have been higher.

Sure I mean if we're playing with lines on a graph in a theoretical space then building enough supply can exceed the demand and result in more affordable housing. That's not real life however.

In reality supply creation is constrained by real world factors such as time and labour supply and "just add more supply" is not so easy. It takes time.

On top of this Airbnb has acted as a sort of friction against supply creation, as when you create a new building, some percentage of the new units were being bought purely to be rented out 100% of the time as a hotel business and were thus never contributing to increasing the vacancy rate. This is why this new policy from the City of Vancouver is explicitly aimed at this sort of Airbnb use. When the City of Vancouver approves a new condo building, which takes years to build, they ideally want 100% of the units in that apartment building available for local renters.
Perhaps there were done sequentially so that if a project fails one stage or has to be changed to comply, all the other stages' work isn't wasted. Like a branch misprediction in a CPU. That might make the approval more expensive overall but having things finished faster is also an advantage to weigh against it.

I think that was based on a comic book, so it may not be relevant except to point out that Holywood doesn't automatically make great films even when not adapting games.
from comments from people who worked on it (e.g., https://twitter.com/MCSpaceCadet/status/968666523425386497 https://twitter.com/slava_oks/status/958908471801294850 ), Microsoft seems to have reached this stage with their Midori project. This was a ground up OS project based on the usual suspects from the research world i.e. object-capability security, microkernel architecture, a new lightweight process model, memory-safe systems language, zero-copy IO etc.; the project lasted 9 years and occupied over 100 senior engineers at its peak. They tried various strategies to run it on top of Windows, run it on top of Linux, run Windows on top of it, run it on Hyper-V, etc etc. before eventually giving up.
Even if they do show the AP is safer than a human driver, the idea that a machine/software killing people is pretty unsettling to most of us. It's one thing to have a human driver make an error and kill himself and other and another to have a machine do it on a somewhat regular basis, even if in the long run less people die overall. There's something really uncomfortable for society. The justification for it feels very cold and calculated, even if it is right. We've arrived at Peter Singer's trolley car problem.

This is the right way to look at it. In fact, your brain is plastic enough that if you wear glasses that flip your vision upside down for several days it will eventually relearn the mapping of retinal cells to neurons so that you see things normally while wearing them. This was studied in the 1890s by a guy called George Stratton.

That comment doesn't make sense in this situation. The different agencies review and approve different things, so there should be little or no overlap.
Some interrogators are really good at phrasing and intoning a question making it seem like they're inquiring about something very wrong, worth trying to cover up, e.g., "you didn't have any information about XYZ selling his shares, did you?" It shouldn't work if the target is thinking straight, but the whole point is to trigger a knee-jerk emotional reaction.

Supply is part of the problem, but the real culprit is that housing has been financialized and opened up as an investment vehicle for global capital. It doesn’t really matter if you change zoning laws if everything that gets built is to serve this kind of investment. Major cities in the US, such as LA and NYC, simultaneously have huge lots of vacant luxury housing stock and homelessness crises for precisely this reason.Vancouver has obviously taken steps to curb the worst excesses of this, but it’s still vulnerable to this form of “market failure.”

There are definitely games that I wish I could get the "cliff notes" experience. GTA comes to mind - 4 had an interesting enough (if generic) story, but just took forever to finish because of its million mostly copy-paste go-here-shoot-things quests. Same goes for Final Fantasy & most other JRPGs - there are some interesting themes and story in there, but it's padded out so much by turn based combat that I usually burn out half way through.

I can imagine something similar for games like The Last Of Us, although I haven't played it personally. Sometimes you just can't be bothered to deal with the not-plot parts of the game for 25 out of 40 hours.
Depends on the project... for example, I was really sad that Sass won over Less only because the implementation for Sass was C/C++ (or Ruby), and Less was straight JS.

There are a number of C/C++ based node libraries... I think sass, sqlite are probably the two most popular. Any dependents of nan[0], node-gyp and node-pre-gyp are others.

I would like to suggest that there is a fourth dimension that might be called 'interest' as we are using a debt analogy - the tendency for the cost to increase over the time elapsed since the debt was incurred.

When an item of debt is first created, the people making it are often well aware of what they have done and are therefore in a relatively good position to fix it, but that knowledge quickly dissipates, to the point where it is often forgotten that there is a specific issue there. Furthermore, there is a tendency for it to be made less obvious as further changes are layered on top and around (this is distinct from contagion, as it can occur if the later changes are themselves debt-free, or at least independent of the decisions that created the debt and their consequences.)
What we can say with 100% certainty however is that when there's an article about some shop increasing thoughput by X%, we never talk about how that just allows them to shovel more marketing faster. Or imagine "show HN: static site generator made with A and B" being met with "most of your blog entries aren't that good though".
I am profoundly uncomfortable with this sort of propaganda. It's straight out of the Bernays/Lipmann playbook of yore.
Yes, it is the issue because no one has achieved full self-driving yet so Tesla simply has no idea what hardware may be required to achieve that level of functionality in real-world situations.

But that wasn't the line of argument I was making. The parent commenter said this about people misunderstanding the term "autopilot"

> Just because people don't know the proper term or have an erroneous idea of the term, doesn't mean tesla has to have the burden of people misinterpreting what it says.

Seems like people might be mistaken because the phrase "Full Self-Driving" is literally the first thing on the official Tesla Autopilot page.
I mean, Xen is literally descended from exokernels. The whole point of an exokernel is to securely multiplex hardware with as few abstractions as possible (which makes for a pretty sweet hypervisor it turns out). It's original paravirtualized MMU is straight out of XOK and AEGIS.

VMWare calls their system a microkernel (and so Wiki's rules therefore repeat that without other research), but the stack trace on the ESX wiki page pretty clearly shows a network card driver being called inside kernel context, so they have to be playing fast and loose with the term. From the outside it looks like earlier Vxworks; it's somehow a microkernel despite all of the code living in the same address space with no real permissions differences because it has multiple kernel threads and loadable modules. By that definition Linux is a microkernel too.

On paper I make 90k at a startup.. I'm a partner and we're having cashflow issues so -- I haven't been paid in a month and a half... and I don't think we'll be rolling out the benefits we were planning to, and I think we'll be moving away from 'employees to contractors'..so we don't have to worry about benefits till cashflow is fixed, as for costs:

Healthcare for myself alone is going to be about $350 a month, rent for an average condo for a family of 3 is : 1440 here in utah. Healthcare for the rest of the family will be an extra $600...

That's $2500 in costs just for healthcare and rent. Food is expensive and probably costs us about $1k a month as well, Internet is $75 but it's google fiber :) ...

That said IF you work in software -- and you speak damn good english and really sell yourself, there's no reason you can't earn at least 30-40/hour as a dev, I worked on an all remote team and we had a couple employees from mexico/south america and they were paid the same as everyone else.

I'd highly recommend looking for employment outside your country on a remote team. Working from home is also pretty nice, I save a ton on commute time.

I also need to invest for my own retirement, my wife is a homemaker and takes care of the kids, and I need to make sure somehow we can afford to pay up to 200k per kid for college maybe more by the time 2036 comes along... We'd also like to buy a house someday, and I like tech toys...

First movie was pretty good, second was solid, then they went downhill from there. I didn’t hate the last one but that is definitely a case of coming in with very low expectations and having then slightly beaten.
> Well, they do have the hardware

They don't actually know that they have hardware for full autonomy till they have a fully working hardware/software autonomy system; what they have is hardware that they hope will support full autonomy, and a willingness to present hopes as facts for marketing purposes.

I think the open-source equivalent of RecordIO is the leveldb log format:

https://github.com/google/leveldb/blob/master/doc/log_format...

https://github.com/google/leveldb/blob/master/db/log_reader....

https://github.com/google/leveldb/blob/master/db/log_writer....

I think the decision not to open-source RecordIO is likely related to legacy baggage that's baked into the format. The LevelDB format above avoids that.

It doesn't appear that the headers for this are public though.
>That's a pretty good B-movie plot.

It can be good... in the right hands.

We're all debating various complex semantics when the only thing that ultimately really matters is talent... who ultimately is in control of these building blocks. Talent with the director, talent with the screenplay, talent with the acting, etc.

There has been plenty of dumb plots, stories, concepts, etc that have been turned into great movies by talented people. Reservoir Dogs, Clerks 1, Napoleon Dynamite, The Abyss, etc would all sound dumb, boring, or cliche on paper, but were made highly watchable by talented film makers working in their prime.

Just like startups, the only thing that matters is people, not how clever your original idea is. You could have the perfect movie idea, which many big budget have had (which translate well into trailers and per-release marketing), but turn out to be awful once it's turned into the 1.5hr+ long final product.
Can you give an example of a situation where a set of instruments is worth more (or less) than the sum of its constituent parts.

I had an early version of the Model S with the autopilot (P85D). Once it was made available I noticed a DECREASE in the reliability after every update. From day one it was great. It would be glued to the car in front of it and kept me safe. Over the three years I owed it, it only got worse. My theory was that they tried to make the car drive too much like a human. Rather than going safely down the middle of the lane when passing it would try to give a little more space and thus get closer to the median. It only got worse from there. I no longer have the Model S, but it was the best car I ever owned. That said, I won't get another until there are huge improvements to the autopilot.
This might be better phrased as “maximum work hours per day”, where every work-related activity counts toward those hours.

Some jobs, unfortunately, naturally have weird hours (because the company has worldwide offices, is in a special industry or whatever). You wouldn’t, for instance, get very far responding to disasters if you were not in a position to even find out about them most of the time.

The problem isn’t so much the “after-work” activity but what “work” means. If my job required responses to issues at weird hours, I would expect to reduce hours at the not-weird times. You shouldn’t be able to have it both ways though, otherwise workers never have any reasonable way to truly disconnect, which is stress.
"I’ve rarely encountered discussions of contagion."

This surprised me: contagion is a good metaphor because it is a compounding measure of the growth of the problem. Just like an interest rate (a compounding measure of the growth of debt).

Most senior developers I've met have considered the interest rate of the debt, which seems like it has been renamed here as contagion. Maybe I've been lucky to just know smart people!

From the point of view of explaining these concepts, I'd suggest keeping the metaphors consistent. Tech debt should have an amount owed and an interest rate, tech infection (?) should have a potency and a contagion level.

Standalone, that sounds like a commit message - which you make after editing the code anyway. (And possibly tweak/update with git rebase before pushing)

In that section's context, it sounds like naming a branch after having already started on it. In which case, that seems to me the tiniest bit less useful than git's ability to rename branches (git branch -m oldname newname).

What am I missing?
I think the exact logical flaw is that saying "slowing down development for testing costs lives" assumes the solution will be validated as correct. Waiting a year to deploy the correct solution for want of testing costs the lives that solution could have saved in that year, yes, but pushing one correct and four incorrect solutions immediately into production - when the incorrect solutions each cost twice as many lives as could have otherwise been saved - and re-evaluating after a year kills far more people than are saved.
> Oh wait, they're mostly needless since humans lived without plastic for hundreds of thousands of years.

I don't think this is a convincing argument. There are lots of things that we lived without (e.g. antibiotics) that we wouldn't now give up.
The reality of the situation is that the big studios are not trying to make good movies, they are trying to make movies that make the most money. As a result, scripts are created by committee and according to what market researchers say will maximise the potential audience. In the end, you have have an endless stream of incredibly formulaic blockbusters. Take the Marvel MCU as an example: Most of these movies are pretty run-of-the-mill, but they are printing money. Same goes for the latest Star Wars movies. None of those were terribly inspired, but they were never meant to be. Disney played it safe, because they knew they would make a ton of money that way.

At the other end of the spectrum you have something like "Blade Runner 2049", which was a great movie with a large budget, but it basically bombed at the box office. It's easy to see why studios are hesitant to take risks with projects like that.
I mean, if there’s the demand, sure. Lots of commuter trains run at that sort of rate.

Though your train of cars would likely have such low passenger density that a series of buses would be just as good. Special lanes just for buses are already a thing.

Based on his complaints I don’t see how we can infer it gave him added security which would warrant continued use. If I knew a tool I used around the house wasn’t working completely as advertised I wouldn’t continue using the feature that wasn’t working for me.

As a beta user of bank software where clicking transfer money ended up sending twice as much, wouldn’t it be my fault if I did it 7 more times when I acknowledged its behavior even if it wasn’t as advertised?

I realize my examples are hard to compare to this specific situation, but the software is opt in and is littered with disclaimers because it’s not a level 3+ autonomous vehicle.

"from an event like this" is an important part of the statement.

Pretend for a moment that the occurrence of the accident was a foregone conclusion. In such a scenario, the most positive thing that could be done would be to use the information to save the lives of others.

There's a smidgen of humility in the phrasing; that the accident might have been avoidable with the information that has been gained as a result of the accident. Of course, I presume that sort of sentiment would fall squarely under the "admission of guilt" umbrella that prevents companies from saying things like this.
