No, but it's the same argument for something like SpaceX. A quick analysis says being optimistic makes the most sense because it has the best outcomes in all situations.

If we're optimistic and correct, we're building the things that will be useful in the future. We know we have to get off the planet to survive as a species, so we have to hope that we can do so.

If we're optimistic and wrong, we're distracting ourselves until we die. Pessimistic and correct, we wait for death and die.

Pessimistic and incorrect, we watch the future run away from us while we argue over what remains on the planet to be used by the technology we stagnated in. I don't want to know what 2050 looks like if we're still dependent on oil.

The worst case only exists if we're pessimistic as a species. The best case only exists if we're optimistic.
As I understand it you generally have 5 years for hardware and software support with software requiring that you upgrade to major versions as they're released for continued updates. Perhaps someone can share a link or provide better details for software support/EOL info?

Here's the process to find criminal records in San Francisco:

1) Walk into the courthouse

2) Go find which binder has the first letter of the last name of the applicant

3) Flip through the dot-matrix printed green/white reams of printed papers to see if someone with a first and last name has a court record

4) Write down the case number on a form with a bunch of other info

5) Go wait in line and hand it to the clerk

6a) If it's a record they have, you can go into the back and view it with a clerk watching to make sure you don't steal or adulterate the record. It's the only copy.

6b) If it's not in the courthouse, they'll tell you to come back in a few days while they pull it from the archive.

7) If you had many records to pull, some courts will restrict you to a max of 1-2 per day. So you either have to send lots of people, or just wait. Some courts like Santa Barbra can take 120+ days.

This is true for lots of counties in the US, and it takes getting involved in local politics to fix it. A lot of Americans can't make rent if they don't get their next paycheck, and a long background check can be really stressful.

It's a hard problem, but it's getting better. I could go on :)
Supply and demand curve apply to labor too though, right? At some point (in the near future if the premise of the article holds), the labor won't be available at the current price. Restaurants that won't raise wages won't be able to offer good service to their customers, and ones that do raise wages will be able to offer good service. The competing classes of restaurants are no longer substitute goods.

(Not an economist, for the benefit of anybody who doesn't find that patently obvious ;-)

ETA: I don't see the reason for the downvotes on the parent. It seems like a pretty reasonable explanation as to why there would be a brutal race to the bottom in restaurant industry. But again, my economics background is limited. Maybe somebody could explain the flaw in the argument?

Is there any indication that the information that Tesla released wasn't true?

And Tesla said they'd continue to cooperate with the investigation, so why do you think a subpoena is suddenly needed?
I get frustrated when Tesla blames the driver for these crashes by saying that they aren't touching the wheel or are ignoring messages. It is extremely common for my car to warn me to keep my hands on the when WHILE I have my hands on the wheel. Even shaking it a little will sometimes not cancel out the warnings. It doesn't seem to matter if my hands are on the top or bottom of the wheel. Anything short of a deathgrip and constant jiggling of the wheel doesn't seem to consistantly register as keeping your hands on the wheel. Anyone who has used Autopilot for a significant amount of time has been beeped at for not having their hands on the wheel even though they are. And yes, the car will make crazy maneuvers at times that no driver in their right mind would make. I still like it and am glad I opted for it, but it is far from earning its namesake.

All modern browsers support HTTP/2: https://caniuse.com/#feat=http2

HTTP/2 server push was originally intended as a pre-caching mechanism (send resources in advance to the client, in case they might get asked for), rather than for pushing data spontaneously (aka in realtime). As far as I know, browsers don't yet have a way to notify the application if a resource has been pre-cached, or offer a way for applications to hijack the push handler to avoid caching.

So, for now, WebSockets (with or without Socket.io) or HTTP Server-Sent Events are more appropriate for realtime apps than HTTP/2 server push. Note that you can send an SSE stream within HTTP/2.

That said, the Web Push protocol (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8030) specifies the use of HTTP/2 server push for delivering data in realtime. So this could become a more common thing in the future.

I used Checkr once for screening an employee and had a terrible experience. After two weeks, the check was still pending as they had to do some sort of manual process with the courts in Los Angeles to complete it. I didn't find their service useful because of the delays and was promised many times that the report would be done shortly. Eventually I gave up and went to another service. I asked for a refund after about two weeks and was told NO, because the check had already been initiated. I don't think it's an acceptable SLA (two weeks or more) for a background check - most services turn these around in a couple of days.
From first hand experience, I would say that the willingness of clients to outsource discovery to cheap contract lawyers has had a far greater impact on the job market for fresh graduates than automation of discovery. The software for electronic discovery just isn't very good or smart. It also requires a ton of up-front work to train the model which makes it not cost effective except for the largest document reviews.

It's more interesting to differentiate the social meanings of "private" and "secret": When I send a letter in an envelope, it's private. It's not for your eyes. It might not be secret, however, because I might not mind the information in the letter being publicly revealed.

That distinction between "private" and "secret" is something the opponents of encryption forever try to erase, by claiming that things which are not secret should not be private, which has the effect of making privacy suspicious by default, instead of unremarkable. It's the snail-mail equivalent of trying to shame everyone into sending their mail using postcards, so someone who sends "a lot" of envelopes is now a target of suspicion, for some arbitrary definition of "a lot" which changes based on context.
On one hand I agree.

The other hands ask: what don't we know that's causing them to act like this.

Moi? I would presume the NTSB is being manipulated somehow in someway to slow Tesla down and/or knock them from there perch. Look at their valuation. Certainly their must be long time auto industry ego who find that offensive.

Reverting dining out into a luxury for the poor is the definition of regressive policymaking.

And without a $15 minimum wage, restaurants cheaper than $10 sandwich “fast casual” places are much more viable.

Finally, I’d expect the poor disproportionately depend on services provided by minimum wage workers across a range of sectors.

Microsoft's 64 bit transition was more awkward with more compatibility breaks, compared to Apple.

Microsoft sold separate Windows 32 bit and 64 bit versions, under different SKUs. The 64 bit version broke compatibility with 32 bit drivers, but not all software would work on 32 bit, so it was important to know which version you had. Many computers advertised as 64 bit were sold with 32 bit Windows, so it was possible to download an incompatible app version. It was a confusing time.

Apple had only one SKU. Applications had 32 bit and 64 bit versions in the same binary, so there was only one version to download. The kernel supported 64 bit addressing and 32 bit drivers, so there was no hardware compatibility break. It was invisible to users.
Nowdays, it's impossible to do modern programming without relying on millions of lines of other people's code. It's frameworks and libraries all the way down.

On the NES however, every line of code is yours. There's no such thing as libraries, operating systems, or frameworks. They don't exist. It's refreshing.

One of the big problems of modern programming is how easy it is to add complexity. As Charles Moore once said:

>"Simplify the problem you've got or rather don't complexify it. I've done it myself, it's fun to do. You have a boring problem and hiding behind it is a much more interesting problem. So you code the more interesting problem and the one you've got is a subset of it and it falls out trivial. But of course you wrote ten times as much code as you needed to solve the problem that you actually had."

It's easy to add complexity on modern systems, but it's hard on the NES. The programming too clunky; it's too much work to anything but simple things. For that reason, it's far more common to simplify the problem and reduce features rather than add them. It's a wonderful thing.

It is indisputable at this point that Autopilot happily steers cars into the concrete barrier.

> I wouldn't consider something a dialect unless they were similar enough that most code that works in one works in the other with minimal modification.

I agree, but Scheme passes this test more than you might think. When it originally appeared, it really didn't stand out from the crowd of Lisp 1.5 successors that much at all. It even piggybacked off of its host Maclisp implementation, directly calling Maclisp functions extensively from Scheme, to provide any functionality that there wasn't any point re-implementing (ie, most of it). It was basically just a Maclisp package.

Modern Scheme still has a lot of features in common with Maclisp of this time (and by extension Common Lisp), like DO (although Scheme's do has slightly different semantics because it's a macro over tail recursion rather than gotos; subtle differences like this are to be expected between dialects), and it's still based off list structure in exactly the same way that Lisps always have been, so there's still CONS, CAR, CDR, RPLACA (renamed set-car!), RPLACD (renamed set-cdr!), NCONC (renamed append!), and so on.

Scheme's lexical scoping also made it back into mainline Lisp, and was a pretty big contribution to Common Lisp. A lot of features like CLOS, SETF, and DEFMACRO (none of which were in Lisp 1.5) are very commonly provided by Scheme implementations.

Using the historical argument, there's no question at all that Scheme is Lisp. The majority of ancient Lisp programs can be run under modern Schemes with simple compatibility packages. When all the other Lisps either merged into CL or died, though, Scheme continued to be actively used, and as time went on the Scheme community shared less and less code with the mainline Lisp community. Some people argue that with the modern state of things it's not really useful to talk about Scheme as Lisp now, because they kind of "left" Lisp and went off on their own, philosophically. Scheme definitely began as just another Lisp, though.

> You keep stating this as if it were a fact, but did it occur to you that delineating what research spending in fact contributed is complex?

Yes, as someone who's actually done this sort of tracking and research extensively, it has, in fact, occurred to me that it is a complex task.
The 2005 version is pretty trivial: each profile has friends, a scrapbook (known on FB as wall), and up to 12 pictures; Communities (forums) have topics and topics have posts. That's it. Any junior dev can build it on Rails/Django.

The tricky part is scaling it. The original version as a .NET app and it couldn't handle the number of simultaneous users.
When I was young, I got a great piece of advice about dating that has oddly turned me into a pretty good salesperson.

When you're looking to date, you'll see (and hopefully meet) lots of interesting people. On average 1/10 of the people you find interesting will find you interesting.

Then, of the 1/10 who find you interesting, about half will be in a place to do anything about that.

That attitude has been good for me in sales, because it has kept me from getting too attached to a prospect. Though, when I was getting started, it was tough because I didn't iterate on my approaches quickly enough.

Yeah, I'd like to see something like this too. The TV show Hunted might be a real life opsec version to some degree, but a system which is online and open to anyone who wants to participate here would be a lot better. Could even be tied into a bounty system or something, where you put money in and then ask the site to share it among whichever people manage to find out your personal information/bypass your systems.
This is really amazing. Very impressive. Would love to see this published on the web somewhere to try it out quickly without requiring folks to have the necessary components to build it.

> many sources from different proxies agree on the temperature record

Not for the recent period where we have actual accurate temperature data to compare to. Some proxies show warming for that recent period (but not quite the same as the actual temperature data), others (such as the "hockey stick" reconstructions) actually show cooling. The fact that they agree better where there is no actual temperature data to compare them do does not fix this problem.

> a strong consensus

Consensus means nothing in science. Science works by making accurate predictions. Climate science cannot make accurate predictions of future climate. Even the IPCC admitted this (finally) in the AR5 (and then proceeded to obfuscate it by basing its conclusions on "expert judgment" instead).

> Do you mean that sovereignty grants that authority in principle, or in actuality?

Yes, both.

> If the United States doesn't enforce the demands of another country with respect to a company in its borders, the company can freely ignore those demands.

The authority to legislate and the ability to impose consequences are two different things. It is, for instance, indisputable that the US has authority to criinalize tax fraud by it's citizens occuring within the US, but if a tax fraudster escapes to a foreign country with all their possessions before the US catches them, and that country is uninterested in assisting the US, the US may well find it practically impossible to enforce sanctions without engaging in interstate conflict.

The only difference with the situation at hand is that an act committee overseas by a foreign entity is more likely to be difficult to sanction since flight for the purpose of evasion is less likely to be necessary (OTOH, if the offender has any contact with the offended jurisdiction, they are still at risk, and being g ofrced to avoid the jurisdiction to avoid sanctions may itself be a kind of sanction.)

The real revolution for self driving cars will be what it does to deaths in the 18-35 demographic. A quick Google search turns up this (https://www.verywell.com/top-causes-of-death-for-ages-15-24-...) article that confirms that for the 15-24 demographic automobile accidents are the leading cause of death. Think of how many productive person-years we'll gain if self driving cars are even just 10% safer than driving yourself (and by all measures I've seen, they're way safer than that)!

> Constraints are interesting.

Constraints are also helpful when working towards a sense of mastery.

Look at a modern operating system (or console) for that matter. So much capability, so much complexity. You'll never learn it all, never be able to master it.

Heck, just truly understanding the machine code of a modern processor, and knowing everything it does and can do is quite a daunting task.

These older 8-bit systems (NES, C64, etc.) in contrast are much easier to completely understand. If you are willing to live within the limitations, you can create something really awesome, and be able to leverage the full extent of the system's capabilities.

That provides enormous satisfaction to some.

> And all the people that used to eat out learn how to cook and stop eating out. The restaurants go out of business and the workers with higher minimum wage are fired.

You're arguing that people should not bother learning how to prepare food for themselves in order to sustain the restaurant industry.
We talk a lot on HN about how easy it is to fool yourself into thinking that you have a real business. You might have the coolest product ever but if people aren't willing to pay your cost to produce then it doesn't matter - you don't have a business.

Restaurants are exactly the same. You might make the best food in the world but if no one is willing to pay the price it costs then it doesn't matter - you don't have a real business.

Minimum wage is an attempt to force the externalities of a business underpaying its employees back on to the business. The whole point is to push prices up so that the business is responsible for itself - otherwise it's easy to pay people a very low wage and let society make up the gap so that you don't have people living in abject poverty (this is what Walmart is accused of for example).
Competition drives prices down? Bloated, protectionist government regulations drive prices up? Wow! Stop the presses!

This same story in umpteen other contexts has been written time and time and time again, throughout modern history.
