>it will clearly be much safer than human driving soon

You cannot say really that. The technology at this current stage is much worst than human drivers when it comes to understanding its environment and detecting hazards.
It's possible that the plateau already hit in other economies but was partially masked by people buying new phones because they want the shiny.

Dropping half a months income for an incremental increase is very different to dropping 2-3mths.
So it is quite unreasonable to ask if this system is safer right now, because some future system almost certainly will be?

If Tesla had not prominently promoted the exact claim that this system is safer right now (and by a remarkable margin), that claim would not be under scrutiny. Tesla's statements are now being subjected to an objective, reasoned analysis, even though they were not made in that spirit.
I’m using the wrong terminology, I’m certain, but what I’m getting at is that observational (which is probably what I mean instead of correlational) studies can negate a hypothesis, but they can never prove one. So, one hypothesis is that red meat consumption leads to heart disease. If the data shows the trend lines of heart disease and red meat consumption going in opposite directions, then you know your hypothesis is wrong. But if the trend lines are going in the same direction, the hypothesis hasn’t been proven; all you know is that it is a potential explanation.

Now, it may be that there is a different relationship, like the one that you mention: that eating more than X grams per day is harmful. The data from an observational study can negate this hypothesis (if there is no threshold pattern evident in the data), but it cannot prove the hypothesis. All it can do, at best, is let you know that the hypothesis might be true.
Any recommendations for an outline and/or more substantial comparing&contrasting of popular back-end frameworks?
I believe K&R refers to it as an "abstract machine", not a "virtual machine." On (most) platforms, there's nothing virtual about it.
This seems reasonable to me. If the leadership decisions and the culture are a constant "drag" towards an organization being competitive in these areas, the organization will do badly at them, and be unable to compete. This can be seen as a feature rather than a bug, of course depending on where you sit.
I disagree. Song lyrics absolutely count as literature to me, as does the other poetry he was recognized for. He's not the first one to receive the Nobel for poetry either, and his themes and influence line up well with the stated goals of the prize itself.

In fact at one time figure skating was objective. They would take a clean sheet of ice, the skater would skate a figure 8 ( or whatever) then the judges would measure it. Not fun to watch.
This is actually not recommended:

And while the C.D.C. recommends washing all produce with water, including heads of lettuce, it does not recommend washing other forms of bagged lettuce, which has already been washed before bagging. “Your chances of contaminating it in your kitchen” — with contaminants that may already be on your kitchen countertop, hands or elsewhere — “are actually higher than if you didn’t wash the salad greens,” notes Dr. Gieraltowski.

"This is not a theoretical C language specifications document. It is a practical primer for the vast majority of real life cases of C usage that are relevant to EFL on todays common architectures. It covers application executables and shared library concepts and is written from a Linux/UNIX perspective where you would have your code running with an OS doing memory mappings and probably protection for you. It really is fundamentally not much different on Android, iOS, OSX or even Windows.

"It won't cover esoteric details of “strange architectures”. It pretty much covers C as a high level assembly language that is portable across a range of modern architectures."

I have one rule: I only ever do sports if I have rested well the night before. It took me until I reached my 40s to realise that lack of sleep + heavy exercise = high chance of catching a cold.

Other sure ways how I can get sick: overdo sauna after exercising and, by far the worst, overdoing cold showers (Jim Hoff anyone? - I got seriously sick experimenting with that)

I guess the overall strength of my immune system is below average :-(

I highly recommend Udemy courses like this one https://www.udemy.com/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

It's by far the best in terms of price compared to other websites it explains enough for you to go out and build stuff on your own. If you need to go more advanced he has an advanced course, it's how I learned how to code
There's a simpler way to put this:

In open source, there's invariably an "in-track" and an "out-track." The in-track consists of people who will get their concerns pretty quickly addressed and can make their patches known and reviewed fairly quickly. The out-track is those who can't do that.

The strengths and weaknesses of open-source models is in how easy it is to make it into the in-track, and how stark the in/out dichotomy is. My experience with Mozilla is that they do a fairly good job at speeding people from out-track to in-track (although I suppose it depends on what areas you work in--Thunderbird was ridiculously easily, but I can imagine Gecko or SpiderMonkey is going to be much harder), but the in/out dichotomy remains somewhat stark. I've seen other places, like LLVM, where the in-track is much harder to break into, but the in/out dichotomy is not so stark.

Is it just me, or do the physics of the tire not make sense here? I'm clearly missing something, given that they have a working demo.

But it seems to me that the surface area of the tire is getting stretched and squashed as it spins horizontally.
I have a Xiaomi phone. It costs less than 200 dollars after taxes in my country, and it's great.

My cell phone company basically gives them for free in exchange for the 2 year contract, so after my 2 years are up, I'm definitely switching it for a newer model, or I'm leaving money on the table.

Many people are way more careless than I am, or heavier users, and definitely switch every year (or even less!).

Chinese phones make it much more feasible. OTOH, if you care about environment, these are no good - no user-swappable batteries for instance.
I'm implying your showy language classed up an idea that that people would be more likley to dismiss on it's face if described plainly.

Johanna Rothman: Managing Agile Teams
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I will definitely add a comparison table soon - that's a very good idea!
As I will be constantly improving the app (by the way: the app updates itself automatically when I release new updates) I will also try to improve filters more and more.
Also, if users have any wishes or suggestions for improvement, I do my best to implement them as well.
I'm going to run a few comparisons in the near future as this is a good point.
Also, if you give 321 Analytics a chance, I would of course also be super happy to hear your thoughts and experiences.
Earth's nearest star is the Sun :-) Which incidentally also emits ionizing photons in the UV zone.
I mean I guess that could work ... although I wonder how fast it takes to train a falcon to do that sort of work. I'm just thinking that if the criminal gangs start losing too many drones all it takes is arming them with small explosives that detonate on impact to take out the birds. I suspect that it's going to be faster for people to build drones with bird killing capabilities than it is to train the birds.
But the counter-argument, to allow autopilot to catch on if it is NOT safer today is to cause deaths, even if over the long run (6 months? 6 years? 60 years?) it will be a net positive.

The stats need to compare a Tesla not to the "average" car, but the average car in that market segment driven by an owner of that socioeconomic class to tell us much of anything. And then we need to separate out when autopilot is active vs when it's merely functioning in a passive sense. Hell, my VW Golf has forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. Even Corollas these days have laser cruise.
There's continuous, and then there's continuous. Where I work (which is easy enough to find out if you're curious, and the same order of magnitude size of engineering team as Slack) we deploy hundreds of times a day. But that's because our units of deployment are small (and target-specific, so a single logical change can trigger multiple logical deployments). So we're not deploying the same thing hundreds of times per day, we're deploying hundreds of things once a day.

Make a change to a thing, which might take a few minutes or a few hours, get it reviewed and merged and it'll be in production a few minutes later.

Once you get past 500 engineers, even just completing a single task a week means 100 things to deploy every day: either you batch them together somehow or you work on the tooling to just get them to production without any fuss.
A few things. I have a good amount of flexibility in work time. Also, 24 days of paid vacation on top of all federal holidays. A low amount of oversight in to what solutions I chose for specific problems. Also, I work on software that makes extremely useful and vital data (weather) more accessible, so I like to think I'm having a net-positive impact on human quality of life. Of course, there are cons. Pay is median for DC/MD area for my level but it's not bad at all given my cost of living.
Very low reps (1-4) at a high resistance (85-100% of a 1-rep max) is the standard powerlifter workout. But usually you'd do that for many sets. Lifting a 1RM for a single set seems either grossly inefficient (I have a similar max and it takes me 6 warmup sets just to get into the 405+ range), or he's risking injury by not warming up enough.
For every developer that complains about the longer/stricter deploy process, I'd offer up for consideration deployments that went out through the CD pipeline where production data was mangled with no rollback possible. As with everything, its determining your appetite for risk.
In theory yes, in practice, it remains to be seen. We saw in the six-day war how trained personnel on the ground who were supposed to move batteries failed to do so and many other poor choices even after having been trained by soviets. So the israelly forces had a nice turkey shoot.
Does someone have a benchmark of the new cpus in the start-instances vs the older X86 baremetal servers, C2S and higher?
I feel I can relate to this somewhat - although in a slightly different context. I build a decent amount of side projects in my spare time with aspirations to take something seriously once I get traction/an interesting opportunity.

But, I'm at a mid-tier university in the UK, with a lacklustre hacking scene. Makes me think weather I made a big mistake not purposefully surrounding myself with more like-minded people - my probability of finding a cofounder in this situation seems slim and it seems that my only option is to relocate to more of a startup 'hub' once I'm finished education.
Likewise, I doubt that too many people are etching flight controller PCBs and building brushless motors from scratch in their garages.
Not to mention the use of bokken (wooden sword), which I believe is still issued to LAPD mounted units for crowd control.

Or jo, which I reckon would be pretty hard for your average UFC to defend against. I mean, I get a nice whooshing sound out of my jo on a kesa strike... can't imagine that feeling good on the side of someone's head.

EDIT: My point isn't to disparage MMA (though I don't like it for philosophical reasons), it's to point out that MMA is LARPing just the same as aikido. If you want to LARP about hammering, don't bitch about the people LARPing with screwdrivers.
I love how the concept sailing ships look nothing at all like traditional sailing craft. Turns out that we have over a thousand years of experience designing and operating sailing cargo craft - maybe it wouldn't hurt to look at some of the older designs guys?

I mean this theoretically works until the gangs decide to start putting small bombs in the drones that detonate on impact. I bet they can build drones faster than people can breed and train the birds.

As somebody who flies UAVs for a living, I can say that whenever the laws squeeze tighter, it doesn't really seem to make a difference on the recreational side, but the number of hoops that need to be jumped through on the commercial side go up. For every recreational/bad-actor that does something dumb, I know that I will be punished by the overseeing bodies and made to explain why I won't do [irresponsible thing | illegal thing], plus will have more people in the public with a bad perception of my work, despite the amount of safety precautions I take.
I'd love if Online.net followed OVH's footsteps and opened up a North American DC (Canadian would be great).
Aren't most of Facebook's issues social media issues in general? Most have ads, most promote gossip to a global audience, most inspire risk taking, etc. You could probably say the same thing about Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, maybe Reddit, etc.

A real friends platform like you mention is basically just social media, except user paid for and privacy friendly. Which is a neat idea, but comes into the issue of who exactly will pay for it, given people's insistence that things online are free.
I definitely don't agree with "learn legacy systems". There are high-paying jobs for those, but not remote (I've worked in a language that's in very high demand on the defense community but you need US citizenship AND security clearance to get those very high paying jobs).

China’s growth fueled by massive debt is over(350% to gdp, government + corporate + individuals). it’s barely returning one yuan for every yuan debt it takes on. The Chinese consumer is weighed down by housing debt and credit card debt. And the tariff is going to hit the consumers hard; soy prices increases already has Chinese consumers screaming.
I love that the author of the paper responded to this. Thank you HN, and Andy.

I suspected it was hard or else, I assume, you would have done it. But I thought it was hard because getting everyone to take a standardized test before and after the courses would be hard, not because even the contact information was not available!

Also, what do you mean exams are unreliable? Is there something you can point me to. I did not know that was the case.

Browser history is a must or at least some url paths to link to. Otherwise I have to keep going back to the metric menu for every action.

Each pages displays a whole lot of information. It's broken down nicely, but sometimes less information is more. Being able to focus on one type of graph/data rather then several blocks is easier.

The UI colors seem really light. Might want to check for color contrast because I think this would fail accessibility.

That's a lot for one sentence. I think the people I know/knew whom are like that are doing it out of boredom mostly. Their lives are fairly comfortable, they have never really seen hunger nor war nor diseases. Most of their lives have been really nice. As such, to give meaning to those lives, they need strife, and the path that the media/gestalt provides is a 'safe' one to introduce struggle, so to speak. They tend to be somewhat religious as well. Having been to those congregations, the pastors/priests/padres stress that you have to really confess your sins a lot, because we all have a lot of sins, so struggle that way. Turns out, almost none of the flock has anything to confess, but 'sin' is at least something to struggle against. There is also an out-sized (though still very small) anti-vax/flat-earther/conspiracy element too, as that also provides some meaning to their otherwise safe and comfortable lives.

In essence, those that get their 'plan' from the TV/gestalt just need to volunteer more and travel.

Can't build a a very sophisticated gun, but it is certainly possible to fabricate something that shoots bullets after nothing but a trip to the hardware store. For both your legal and physical well being, I do not recommend trying it.

Or they realized that hardware and software (App Store) is the better long term approach. Hardware is what Apple has always been known for and Jobs in general if you add in Next.

Google and FB sell ads and their products are built around better selling ads. Privacy is counterintuitive to their business model. Apple and even Microsoft can and should focus on privacy because their business models won’t be impacted as much. They can strengthen their relationships with customers who buy into their ecosystems.

Android is the oddball for google and I don’t know enough to comment about privacy.
High availability and scalable reads in PostgreSQL
When I was doing some consulting via RDP, I made sure to inform the client that I was about to expose things. "I am about to run strace on this web server instance. This is going to show what all the system calls are doing and how long they're taking. It is going to make the performance of this one instance very poor. It is possible that this will print private information like passwords and credit card numbers in clear text. Are you okay with this?"

I'm not sure they fully understood what they were acknowledging, but I heard back later that they were impressed with my professionalism.

Strongly agree. I feel very strongly that the state needs to be investing into how to use drones to defend against drones. At the end of the day there is no real way to prevent a malicious actor from building an autonomous kill bot, so we need to have the capability to react to this sort of threat.

I’m curious how they plan to do continuous integration. The Apple hardware-only clause of the macOS SDK license agreement really crimps the options for CI, especially for open source projects with limited budget. Travis is a godsend, but there are startup latency and capacity issues there even in the paid tier. Apple has made major contributions to open source, as evidenced by FoundationDB here, LLVM, WebKit, and other projects. But they no longer make servers, and the fallback — Mac mini — is on life support, which puts projects and service providers who need to treat macOS as a first-class target in a real bind. Even something limited like the IE Edge and Visual Studio images Microsoft provides would be a huge boost.
