Old autopilots did exactly that, in addition to keeping a predefined climb/sink rate (long ascents/descents are really boring to do manually in small aircraft).

New autopilots in commercial airliners can do many things (follow GPS tracks or radio navigation waypoints, control engine throttle, line up and bring the airplane 50-100ft over the runway etc) but they never do collision avoidance, landings or terrain mapping.
Airliners also have alarms for low altitude (most have radar altimeters) but they prompt the pilot for action, they're not supposed to avoid anything on their own. Apparently Tesla doesn't even do that.

I spoke to the my local pizza shop in NYC. He said between grubhub, uberRush, yelp and now slice, they are eating his pizza profit margins. He said he has to deal with 3-4 software / hardware POS products for EACH service. They are sucking him dry. He can't make money BUT needs them to bring the business. Slice takes a 20% "slice" per order / of his business. Flour costs going up, he makes his own mozzerella. UberRush takes 33%. I don't know about grubhub / yelp % but its not good for him. His pizza is authentic neopolitina with homemade ingredients. You Actually taste the marinara sauce and fresh mozzerella. Dominos goal is to "squeeze" out and maximize profits using the cheapest possible ingredients they find! Then tell you its good!
That’s good to hear, I always found the antipathy between culturally similar groups tragic and weird. Good link too, thanks.
Why would a small business want to be part of some marketplace that just reduces their margins, commoditizes their business and and forces them into a race to the bottom?

Marketplaces are often a terrible deal for small businesses and small business owners know it, so there has to be some incredibly compelling benefit to being part of it for them to want to do it.

If you have a 2k screen, you may think there's no point watching a 4k video instead of a 2k video. Well there is even if you ignore bitrate - because the 4k video when resized to 2k will contain more colour information than the 2k video shown at 2k.

> A display that has enough pixels to show the pixel resolution of the source should be able to resolve all the (subsampled) chroma information as well, should it not?

Yes, but the point is that a display that does not have enough pixels to show the resolution of the source, will be able to show colour per-pixel in the 4k video, rather than colour per-every-other-pixel as it would in the 2k video.

(Chroma subsampling is not this simple in practice.)
It's common for funeral homes, in the South East, to do no cost or very low cost infant ceremonies and burials. Maybe common in other areas too, but I can't say for certain.

I saw this first hand in Georgia, North Carolina and Virgina. I was licensed and worked in the industry in two of those states and attended mortuary college in the other. So, I know a good deal about the profession in those areas.

> The only problem was that my writing was miles ahead of my speaking

That surprises me because Spanish is one of the few languages that what you read is pretty much what you have to say. Each letter has its unique sound and in very few cases the combination of them forces you to make an unexpected sound (for example "que" that would be expected to sound k-u-e but actually sounds like k-e). The entonation is another story but despite of it, your pronunciation should be clear enough to understand you.
Ask HN: Sorry, your account is too new to submit this site
When will this go away?
There in lies part of the problem. It is not as simple as you make it sound. While I 100% agree with you that honesty upfront is the absolute best approach, the problem is that 9 out of 10 times employers simply scan applications, see a check for conviction/arrest history, with or without notes explaining the circumstances, and discard the application. So while the applicant may have taken the best approach, it often doesn't work out for them.

The real problem with background checks is that there is loose regulation around them. Often times these companies return inaccurate or incomplete results. Often times they provide reports that are not in compliance with FCRA. An even bigger problem is that a background report provides absolutely no context to a crime. They also make it difficult at best to dispute any mistakes. This is a huge problem.

GoodHire (a Checkr competitor) are working to change this somewhat. They allow individuals to add notes and context to their own background reports. This can be done individually (the person pays for their own report and adds the notes) or after a background check is provided by a company.

Are there any consumer-centric arguments against this being the default, or is this generally considered to be good for users?

I've heard the argument against setting the DNT field by default (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track#Internet_Explorer...) so I'm wondering if there are any similar arguments in this case. Presumably Tracking Protection doesn't rely on the honor system, but might being a default spurn the development of countermeasures to circumvent it?

While I think the change Sci-Hub is driving towards more open access is a good thing, I do also feel like Sci-Hub is destined to be the martyr here. From the big picture this is more just the pieces going through the almost inevitable (in some form) motions that will get us hopefully ultimately to better future (with legitimate open-access), but that won't be helping Sci-Hub whose position from a purely legal perspective pretty clearly in the "wrong" side.

Unfortunately you're not in a "moral and just" society. You're in a land full of shucksters who value a job and a pension over any sort of genuine moral interest.

They didn't "calculate the cost" blah blah. The public trough is always someone else's money to the bureaucrat. The public trough is a magical abstraction that pays you on time and pays you a generous stipend upon retirement. And the prisoners? Just uppity meat that you have to watch over before you can partake in sex tourism in your golden years.

My heart almost pities you. You still believe in society and the multiple pyramid schemes (college, pensions, medical complex treating acute symptoms aka obesity, FIRE industries) it desperately props up. They even invite migrants so that more young flesh can form the bottom of the pyramid.

And to escape the the future hole of doom, everyone tries to outrun, out work, express "positivity"... Just anything to avoid being realistic. Anything to deny that humans have social needs, to feel needed and wanted. We have more stuff but the whole ad complex, that murderer of beautiful thoughts and of cognitive running time, makes us feel dissatisfied in the midst of unparalleled material wealth. We praise equality but how hollow it sounds when there are men and women who could buy everything from you. Your job, your home, your wife/husband...

You can even see obesity as a class marker nowadays. In a perverse way, I think a lot of the top 1% don't mind obesity as a society wide concern. Just another way to pour gold paint and shine over the underclasses. So to speak.

No, they aren't. States are encouraged to focus federal funds given to them for road maintenance on the National Highway System, which includes the Interstates, but the maintenance is done by the states.

This is a nonstarter because it doesn’t solve the media measurement problem.

Everyone in the advertising value chain has a financial incentive to run their own metrics. Nobody trusts anyone else’s metrics; and publishers will overstate viewership and advertisers will understate impressions. Nobody can even agree on a standard set of metrics for measuring the success of an ad.

That’s why all sorts of JavaScript tracking and analytics get included in online media properties. It’s called the “measurement problem” and it is far from a new problem in media. It’s one of those rare situations where incentives are so opposed that both parties have no reason to pretend they’re not screwing the other.

Edit: also, every decently large publisher will have its own ad standards as to what you can and cannot include, sizing, etc. usually you just work with an ad buyer and a creative firm to identify publishers to target, what keywords to aim for and design the ads for the format at each publisher. And most serious publishers will only serve ads hosted directly on their servers or a set of approved CDNs/DSPs.

Edit2: also there are mature formats for this stuff already like VAST, etc. they all include JavaScript and flash.

So I can't help but wonder. If the Tesla autopilot system has forward looking radar with a 160m range, why wouldn't it notice it was about to drive into something and apply the brakes?

I've read these systems work by assigning probability to each of the sensor inputs and choosing the most likely guess at what's really happening (or something like that). But shouldn't even a low probability of "you're about to crash and die" have more weight than a high probability of "it looks like the road goes this way".

The reason to keep r/fatpeoplehate is simple. You cannot run a site where you censor things that some people dislike without falling into the hole of censoring all things.

Just look at cloudflare. The CEO did it out of spite and now they'll have to censor everything. It's already being used in court against them to force it even though they don't want to.

Once you're not just a host for discussion or not just a dumb pipe your job becomes to censor everything.

The last few years of research have driven the point home [1] that 'air-gapping' is to be interpreted in a quantum sense -- within the domain of information theory and physical observability -- instead of merely not punching any formal hardware interfaces through.

+1, Instead of developing super smarts autopilots we could just instrument the highways so they can tell the car where to go. The instrumented roads could send out warnings and give control back to the driver when there are roadworks ahead.
For it to be effective, yes. You seem to be arguing the details of the implementation rather than the goal of what the implementation should solve.

Individuals (and circumstances) are different, there should be plenty of discretion and possibly review to ensure that solutions are measurably effective.

Ah, that's the folly! I wasn't even really aware of the franchise (movie-wise).

As with many other franchises, the follow-ups aren't worth watching.

It's always refreshing to see movie directors make a great movie that has a potential for mediocre sequels, but not give in to that temptation (e.g. Matrix).
Learning characters has enabled me to watch movies, because subtitles are often easier to follow (and look up) than mumbled, fast, dialect-tinged dialogue. And the ability to watch movies is a game changer for language learning.

Note that recognizing characters is much easier than being able to write them correctly from memory (and you really don't need the latter – even Chinese can't write anymore; look up "character amnesia").
>UberRush takes 33%. //

Man, that is terrible. This is a major problem with capitalism, the optimisation doesn't work when it gets corrupted with marketing - in theory these frontends would compete until they were making practically nothing above their costs, in practice the one(s) with the most capital behind them (or best marketing department) will win and leech the money away from the producers and to the people who commissioned a clever app. It all seems pretty evil to me.
The last time I ordered Domino's the delivery person brought me a completely empty box.

It was so light when they handed it over, I immediately opened it before signing the check. I remember the driver just looked at me, like Dang, that's a weird order. He didn't jump in with an apology or anything.

When I said I wouldn't pay for the pizza, he asked me to sign the receipt and said he would go back and bring me another pizza. I said that's not what a receipt is for... a receipt means you RECEIVED the product.

I am pretty sure that guy ate my pizza, and after I signed the receipt he would never have came back. I called the store to complain and they offered to send me a free pizza the next day, but it never came.

There's definitely a need for this, since long-running threads are a huge pain to manage -- connections die, heartbeats fail, etc., and any job that's doing a lot of sleep() loops or waiting for asynchronous notifications should probably be managed by a scheduler like this instead.

What's hard though is breaking up a synchronous execution model into discrete steps, and storing continuations between them.

Maybe I'm just out of touch, but the appeal of online pizza ordering is something I can't wrap my mind around. Calling and placing an order using the traditional telephone method seems far easier to me. I do it often, more often than I should. Furthermore it seems better for the business since presumably the phone company takes a much smaller cut of the sale than whatever web platform they may be using.

Is it because people are growing more adverse to the brief limited social interaction of a phonecall? Is it because people are placing very large and complex orders that are difficult to convey over the phone? (admittedly most of my orders are for a single pizza with two or three topping specified..) Is it because websites have more pictures that people find attractive?
