The remaining 20-30% is related to childhood nutrition, education, opportunities to play, learning from peer groups... all of which are heavily impacted by wealth/poverty. And 20-30% is A LOT. Luck plays as much of a role in wealth as intelligence, so to assume that wealthy are more intelligent from genetic reasons and therefore poor families will remain poor is myopic.

Unstructured wealth transfer will never happen (except in cryptocurrencies) so I don't think you need to worry about that. The current effort is to get hardheaded free-marketers to recognize that equal opportunity is a myth.
It's more like a parking lot shuttle. About a half dozen stops spread across six blocks.

There are a number of companies in that business. There are minibus-sized vehicles that creep around, like Local Motors' Olli and Navya's shuttle. A reasonable way to get started, but few if any seem to be good enough to have a paying installation with no human driver on board. There are some trials. Paris has some in use on a dedicated route. Shenzhen has a small fleet, but they have a "safety driver".

The Navya unit running in Vegas not only has a backup operator on board, there's another human-driven car following behind.
Helping requires some uncomfortable truths to be socially accepted. "It's all lie, lie, lie." the GP said, and he's right -- addicts in the throes of addiction lie. We have to be OK saying, this person is an addict and not really in their right mind. If we treat addiction as a mental illness, then we treat the illness and the lies start to melt away.

Some people think addiction is a moral failing; others think it is an illness. I land on the illness side. Treatment works. We can help people, but it requires throwing away the blind judgement.
They could add up all their expenses, divide by the number of users, and charge that?

My point is they should charge in proportion to the service/value they provide, not in proportion to the size of donation/patronage.

It doesn't cost them twice as much to process a donation twice as large, so: "unjustifiable".

Can you justify that? (Not rationalize it, justify it?)

Victorian Era Advice on How to End an Engagement
Firstly, there's no reason to choose only one and not the other. Tweeting on Twitter and tooting on Mastodon can be done with a single command once you've set it up. I'd've thought that was a no brainer.

Secondly, I use Mastodon, and I'm on an instance with just over 1000 users. There are over 150K users on the main instance.
I don't know how I feel about the approach presented in the article, but there's a big difference between a personal ritual and one shared and practiced by a community writ-large. This firm seems to be focusing on the latter.
I live in tick central, and for anyone else in that situation who doesn't already have a tick mitigation strategy, here's what I do (and I'd love to hear other things that work that aren't on the list):

1. Clear all debris (wood chips, leaves, etc) from places people frequent, and keep the grass cut short

2. Permethrin-laced cotton balls inside PVC tubes scattered liberally around the area. Small animals pick these up and make nests out of them, which kills the ticks while they're on the rodent hosts.

3. Permethrin on footwear, and safe insect repellent (DEET or picaridin, also geranium oil seems to help) on skin and lower-half clothing

4. Chickens in the yard seem to eat more than they host

5. Daily checks for everybody in the house
Interesting considering that Volvo are Chinese owned. Since their parent company are at the front of EV development and since the 5 year plan of China is 80% of the global EV market it looks to me like we will have lots of Waymo cars in due course. Maybe they have decided to go with mere Carplay for now with a view to future Waymo tech being what the real deal is to be.

In car tech is set on autopilot features which stymies development of anything that does not share that future. You can't invest $$$ in the next dashboard gizmos if you know that autopilot is going to 'change everything'. So it makes sense to just hnd it all over to Google now.
I both can and can't blame the safety driver.

To expect full attention from a person that is not supposed to have anything to do for hours on end (different from driving, which requires constant inputs and adjustments) is not something that's compatible with humans.

I used Mastodon for a while, and it was a pretty good experience. I guess I just found it wasn't my crowd; every other person with something interesting to say turned out to be a "demi-girl otherkin fur-friend," or something like that, and while I am happy for people to have a place to do their thing — exercise your liberty, fur-friend! — I came to feel a bit out of place. It seems like its strong secondary focus on trigger warnings and safe spaces draws too narrow an audience to achieve wide adoption.
Yes, I think you're absolutely right. It's a combination of capitalism and bad urban planning (having to hop in a car to see people is bad for socializing since people are so lazy).
And welcome to why self-driving cars will always be 3 years away.

I think we should be targeting self driving for long-haul freeway scenarios where the rules are relatively simple and predictable. Trying to control for the infinite number of scenarios in cities is a nightmare which will ultimately bog down the development of any company which makes that its goal.

We were on DigitalOcean before GCP. They're okay. They're cheap, but can't really compare to GCP in terms of performance, stability, networking, object storage, etc. Their Kubernetes offering is also a GKE competitor, not a "Kubernetes first" cloud.
I think that I am qualified to say that cost-effective testing is and will continue to be the barrier to self-driving car adoption.

A big part of the solution to this problem is design-for-test; and the adoption and tight integration of a wide range of (quite conventional but sadly often overlooked) testing and systems engineering standards and processes.

It's only really 9 9s of reliability if you assume somebody will definitely be killed as soon as you have a 10-second lapse in concentration, which is obviously not true.

In motorway driving you could probably shut your eyes for 10 seconds every 20 seconds and be perfectly fine almost all of the time. Especially at night time, or other quiet times of day.

You don't generally want multiple autonomous control systems in a single vehicle competing with each other for control. There are scenarios where the less-sophisticated collision avoidance radar could do the unsafe thing where the self-driving system has a more holistic plan.

Basically, there's no reason the self-driving tech shouldn't have been way more effective than the collision avoidance radar other than Uber royally screwed up. The LIDAR and other sensors should have (and by this article, likely did) detected the woman long before the vehicle was in striking distance, much longer range than the forward radar.
Windows NT 4.x improved performance at the cost of stability by moving drivers - which in earlier versions ran in user space - back into kernel space.

I ran NT4 for a number of years, and it remains by far my favorite windows version. Maybe it wasn't stable enough to run a server (although I've heard otherwise, with uptimes measured in years), but I have no recollection of it crashing. It was essentially a modern OS that could happily run in 32 MB of RAM, which isn't even enough these days to launch a single windows program.

My favorite desktop OS overall is BeOS R5. It was just so much fun to use. Not actually very useful, with the lack of apps, but definitely fun.

The answers given above are 1) forgetting to “git add” and 2) test suite takes too long. These are fine reasons to offload testing of your PR to a CI system, but why would you be merging changes that potentially break the build? Our highest-commit-volume repos have a queue system doing test-then-land. There’s still no way a change set that breaks the build gets in the way of one that doesn’t.

Maybe. I'm skeptical of Red Hat. The openshift.com web site, which is definitely not geared toward engineers, doesn't give me any confidence that this is what I'm after.

Not that Google is better here, but I already know what GCP provides; something that wants to compete with GCP/GKE really needs to explain why they're a viable competitor.

Got a cockatiel when I was... very very young. Maybe 4-5? It's nearing 30 years old now. I chuckle that you call it the "Sweet spot" since frankly, I don't think I could own one in good concience again (at least until I'm much older.)

When I moved out for college, my mom basically took over "mothering" the bird, and in hindsight I'd have been horrible to it in _any_ other situation. My mom has a lifestyle that lets her be at home with it most of the day, lets it out to fly around almost constantly, makes sure it has things to occupy it/companionship, and as a result it's aged beautifully. That being said, it requires significant amounts of aformentioned attention, (I'd even argue BECAUSE It's so smart it constantly likes bothering people, even when very young it figured out a half dozen ways to escape its cage, including lifting a slat off the outside of the cage _from the inside_, pushing a food dish out its hole, then climbing out after it, and was savvy enough to do this only when we weren't watching) and more than just attention, patience. If you give too much of a response to its teasing/let it "take advantage of you" (e.g. not enforcing a bedtime, since it will absolutely try to run away, yell at you, and nip at your fingers if it wants to stay up later) it'll absolutely learn this and leverage it more in the future. "Parenting" certainly seems fair for owning one of these animals.

I love that grumpy little fluffball so much, but after watching how hard it was to adapt from being bonded with me when I moved out, I've come to the realization that one has to really be ready for a long term commitment that often goes beyond what most people think of as "a pet" to give these birds the home they deserve.

“Don’t lie to me” would be a good start.

- Don’t place a job ad for a job that doesn’t exist.

- Don’t use my references as a way to call my former managers to ask if they are looking to hire. I had a recruiter call my references “to check my references” and then segway into asking if they were hiring - when I’m not even looking for a job. I was burned once and I will never give out references to a recruiter, just to the hiring manager.

- Don’t call me from hundreds of miles away to talk to me about a position you know nothing about.

- Don’t say you are working with a company that you aren’t.

- Don’t tell me our goals are aligned “because if I get you a higher salary, I make more in commission”.

- Please don’t call me if your English is so poor that I can’t understand you.

There are good recruiters (I’ve worked with them) so it is possible to act decently and still stay in business. [1]

A lot of middle to upper class people who would like to buy real estate in a major city in Canada have certainly witnessed a form of hyperinflation.

Just because a government publishes a 1% inflation number (that may be derived from heavily manipulated statistics) doesn't real mean inflation isn't happening.
Probably yes. I don't think cars need 'bundled' software any more than computers do.

Open standards such as the DIN dash mounts for in car entertainment systems do just fine. I've never seen an integrated audio system that I like, usually they're junk to begin with and they are obsolete long before the car is and hard - or sometimes even impossible - to get rid of.

> But it seems like a very non-trivial problem to do this correctly.

I had this same thought. You could theoretically have a universal rule where the self-driving car stops 100% of the time if it detects an object that is determined to be a pedestrian. But there are unforeseen problems with this approach. What if the model is overly cautious and there are many false positives? That could be extremely dangerous too, if a self-driving car is constantly stopping and going.

The CDC is actually harmful with the misinformation and test suggestions they provide. I have Lyme, Bartonella, Mycoplasma, at least from 1 tick bite. Western medicine does a horrible job at analyzing the symptoms, testing, educating and treating their patients. The labs are pretty unreliable as are the antibody requirements for + test.
1) It's very common to get more than 1 infection from a single tick bite (CDC says it's not). This greatly complicates recovery. The study that the CDC relies on suffers from a small sample size and heavy selection bias (see uptodate.com).
2) Ticks can transmit multiple bacteria in less than 30 minutes depending on circulation and host.
3) CDC recommended tests have a false negative rate approaching 60%. ELISA does not even have repeatable results from the same blood sample. Western Blot ignores 2 Borellia specific antibodies (31,34) that were part of a problematic vaccine in the mid 1990s.
4) Vaccines are improbable given how the bacteria can adjust its outer surface protein (triggering antibodies) and its multiple forms (spirochete, biofilm, round body).
5) The CDC treatment guidelines are bullshit and usually result in a relapse 4+ months later as low energy, headache, sore tendons, brain fog, arthritis, heart, etc symptoms. Thus most people are unsuccessfully treated with short term doxycycline, steroids (make it worse), anti-depressants, MS treatments, etc... all expensive pharmaceutical treatments that fix some symptoms while hurting the long term health of the patient without every discovering the underlying cause.
6) I've gone through part of the CDC treatment before educating myself and realizing it was mostly bullshit. I know a number of people that have had similar difficulties.
7) A healthy immune system combined with prolonged pulsed herbal medicines(TCM/western) and/or multiple pulsed antibiotics (hard on GI and its immune function) seem to be the best treatment option.
8) There are number of bacteria in our natural environment that our immune system eventually cannot fight off. Many of them result in things like MS, Alzheimers, arthritis, heart damage, etc.
9) Medical science needs better testing of immune signaling (cytokines, chemokines, etc) before and after treatments. Most labs cannot test for many of these and insurance won't cover it.
10) Labs like igenex, fry, galaxy, dnaconnexions, etc have much better procedures for testing and will look at all specific/shared antibodies than common labs. For example, 41 is an early Lyme antibody shared with Chlamydia. The CDC requires 3+ Lyme specific antibodies to make a positive (IgG and IgM).
11) Reading "Healing Lyme" by Buhner gives a scientific overview backed by a ton of research that the CDC ignores.
12) ilads.org is comprised of doctors who actually treat Lyme and deal with patients ...
