My impression looking at self-driving cars given these incident is that the whole thing was a pump scheme. They are simply not ready. Roads are not rail tracks. They are highly random and dangerous. You'd need something with a high level of awareness and not just visibility.

Humans have that awareness and lack on visibility (you can't see 360degrees, you can't see a wide range, you can't see beyond your car Caracas...). The awareness was enough to let us move but the lack of visibility did certainly kill people.

The best we could have done today was a system that helps human visually. Then the system reports back how human interacted with that particular situation (ignore, brake, etc...) Then maybe 5 years later of work we could have had something.
I had to buy a set of tripoint drivers to open up and work on Gameboys. That was annoying (I've never seen them anywhere else).

For some reason my RV (an old 1984 Avion) uses Robertson screws nearly everywhere, which is actually nice. The big chunky square holds up to rust and corrosion better than Phillips. Kinda wish more things used Robertson.
> That is extremely inconsistent and evidence of bias and prejudice in the local enforcement of law.

That is not inconsistent, as one is denying someone based on what they are, and the other is denying someone based on harassment. The gay couple didn't ask the baker to write on the cake that heterosexuality was immoral. There's an obvious difference between affirming the culture of the customer, and antagonistically denying the culture of the producer.

And I do think think that the baker's refusal was about what they are, since the conditions to bake the cake required that it didn't acknowledge what they are. It's like saying, "I will bake a cake for a black person, but only if it doesn't reference black culture in any way."
Yes, if maintained properly, which means swapping out these engineered to fail parts every so often, which becomes uneconomical at least in the resale sense at some point in time, because the repaired car resale value is less than the cost of repair. For instance on VAG cars, the designed to fail cash-cow parts are typically the various suspension bushings. Once such a part is worn out, resulting in a part that has excessive backlash, it'll cause prematurely worn out parts in the rest of the system it's a part of as well.

My daily driver is a 25 year old car that I'm keeping on preventive maintenance. I got it when it was 16 years old and still in pretty good shape since it was barely used and always kept in a warm garage. I've always had pretty old, but well maintained cars in order to minimize the total cost of ownership of them, and kept them running until something too difficult or expensive breaks. I never value them for what I'd get for selling them, because I've never sold a car nor planned to. To me, the car value is always the utility and TCO value of knowing the state of them via preventive maintenance repairs. Usually the failing part not worth fixing is the body, either due to a collision or rust damage.

In addition to always inspecting an used car from underneath, a thing I learned early was to replace all the cash-cow OEM parts with upgraded parts when possible. If not, at least try to have repaired parts made that are improved at the point of failure to be stronger than OEM parts, so that they don't fail the same way again. Factoring the preventive repair into the price of the used car is required in order to be sure to afford owning the car. After that initial preventive repair, it's about checking the parts stay like new, or it becomes very expensive to keep very quickly once something fails after a part's worn out.

Anyhow, look at farm equipment, mine equipment and such to see what vehicles not engineered to fail are constructed like, and I don't mean the extra robustness of the loadbearing parts for the much larger workloads they're designed for.

Ask HN: What are some good ways to restore curiosity?
Most of us realize that we were a lot more curious in childhood than we are now.

Of course, but for short term storage the percentage loss should be small relative to other losses in the system.

Lets say on each storage and recovery cycle over 24h I'm losing 10% of the stored energy from various losses each cycle, including 1% of the stored energy from Hydrogen loss. No big deal. Even though I'm losing 1% to hydrogen loss every 24h cycle, it's small relative to other losses per cycle. After many cycles it would still be a small fraction of overall losses.

Conversely if my cycle time is 10 days for one storage and recovery cycle, at 1% hydrogen loss per 24h all of a sudden I'm now losing more from Hydrogen loss than all other losses combined. That's really bad.
In other words, this is marketing applied to itself.
If you want any say in that, maybe you could adopt.

Well, the whole thing is computer data, stored on media. Already these days it's hard to find hardware to read the 5.25" floppy disks that I stored my code on in the late 1980s, and that's just three decades. Preserving digital data is a continuous effort.

I live in a city/country with a similar situation. Where the capital is literally a highly polluted shit-hole. Just 80km from the center you can find very nice housing, calm neighborhoods and good restaurants. (and yet better infrastructure) for like 1/3 or a 1/4 of the rent cost.

Unlike San Fransisco, no one wants to live here.

So the situation will continue as long as jobs remain in the bay area.

There is even -less- evidence this can actually work at large scale without becoming centralized. By design the rich get gradually richer via staking and once enough nodes/coins are controlled by a single party they can change the rules of the network.

Maybe social dynamics work out to avoid this, but humans have a long history of trending towards various forms of plutocracies.

One of the reasons Ethereum forked was to avoid a single party (the DAO thief) controlling far too large a portion of the total ether which has big consequences in a future with PoS.

Are we going to continue fork networks every time one party gets too rich? We could. Unless of course that party is pretending to be many individuals and we can't tell. Hard to stop this without deanonymization and a loss of censorship resistance. To be fair PoW suffers similarly from mining power all clustering in cheap electricity areas and thus players like Bitmain have a scary amount of centralized control.

I am skeptical of PoW long term without much better globally distributed use of renewalable energy. PoS by dropping this anchor to the physical world seems even crazier.

I am however somewhat optimistic about Bram Cohen's "Proof of space and time" in his "Chia" project which attempts to move the PoW problem from proof of expended electricity to proof of burned disk space, which feels inherently greener and easier to geographically distribute.

Or neither of these PoW alternatives work and the lessons learned from them empower as of yet unknown innovations. Exciting times to be sure.

Three Key Steps to Improve Employee Work-Life Balance
Their calculations are... optimistic to say it carefully. I once researched this a bit and stumbled upon "we don't calculate the emissions for building and operating the airport, because it's already there" (of course not the exact words, but you get the idea). Also they are usually using the calculations from the emission trading system, which by itself is riddled with fraud and loopholes.

But even more: This has diminishing returns. These schemes rely on getting relatively cheap ways to reduce carbon emissions. If you scale this up you end up not being able to do this any more.
Bicycle travel, backpacking (walking and public transit), buy a used sailboat. You might be surprised how far a bicycle actually takes you in a day.

Apparently Ronald Pelton (the man who spilled the beans to the Soviets) "was tried and convicted of espionage in 1986 and sentenced to three concurrent life sentences[3] and a $100 fine".

For web logs specifically, even if you had a system that would 100% tell you what is a hack attempt and what isn't, you would probably not want to look at the output.

The web server will be hit by thousands of "hack attempts" a day. Most of them will be directed at software you don't even use.

You care about successful hacks, not random attempts (targeted attempts may be different, but good luck finding them in the noise of web logs). Web logs are probably the noisiest, least useful place to look for those (although they can be useful to determine how an attacker got in/where they came from after the fact).

The only thing that could make sense for web logs is looking for brute-force attempts, but that is better done with application-level logging (and countermeasures like CAPTCHAs).

Things you could look at instead are e.g. firewall/netflow logs: If your server is making unexpected outbound connections, there's a good chance it got owned and someone is now downloading their toolkit onto it.

a worker in the US that doesn't get a job in manufacturing still lives in the US and has all the other opportunities and advantages from that. They still got a US education, benefit from US medical and social programmes, live in a country with US infrastructure. It's reasonable for that person to expect a certain level of quality of employment.

A worker in Rural china with no manufacturing job is an an utterly shitty position. All those league tables of education are about the cities. My wife is Chinese, I've been to the Chinese countryside. The conditions are utterly appalling. The jobs these people can get in the factories can transform the lives of their whole families.

Of course workers should have minimum safety protections, etc, but you just can't compare the situations of these two people - unless you can guarantee that Chinese worker the same opportunities and advantages as the US worker outside that employment. Only then are the situations comparable.

Tech startups call on WA to ‘think beyond Google’
Some of those projects sound very interesting, but potential and actual productive output are very different things. They have potential. But you can't pretend like BAT, for example, is out there revolutionizing the ad industry, because it isn't yet. I can't even find Brave market share numbers, but I am confident they are miles away from even reaching 1%. It has potential, sure, but that's a long way from the real thing.

Same for the others. Golem is a nice idea with a lot of potential, but as of right now, Azure, AWS, and GCE are where programmers go for rentable computer power. Maybe one day that place will be golem. Maybe not. Right now it is all just potential.

I think part of the parent's point is the potential of crypt-currencies is often touted, but so far little has been shown in actual results. How long until there are actual results?

Wow their side menu (Apps, Branding, Choosing Fonts) has such horribly low contrast (1.5 - 2, depending on where you measure the text colour; it's small type so due to antialiasing there isn't really a single predominant colour when you zoom in to a screen grab) it's almost unreadable.

Legibility is the most important part of typography. I'm not suggesting this should detract from the article as the writer is probably not the person who made that design decision (EDIT: I think the article's very good actually), but it's pretty weak coming from a site called typography.com.
That depends on the proportions of the costs, if one area is much larger in absolute values, you can go higher than 10x improvement there, while keeping all other costs equal, while still getting an overall 10x improvement. Amdahl's law yada, yada.

Wait, how? Going to the same place millions of people are going to every year, taking the exact same photos you can find on Flickr, of exact same things, from exactly the same spots? Experiencing the completely fake "local culture" created for tourists? All to get some memories that will quickly fade away into the general feeling of "I've been there, it was great"?

Maybe it's a personality thing. I've never been into tourism, and find it weird, to say the least.

Not a design question at all.

Here you oull into the intersection on green, turn slightly ti a big white cross on the road for exactly this purpose and go when it is clear.
This happens when the oncoming side has red, but before the crossing cars have green.
The time between red and green is long enough for all two or three cars to clear the intersection.

Get better laws i guess?
>> I think it should’ve alerted the driver.

> I like the idea

I'm not sure how well I would respond to a sudden alarm when everything has been deemed safe until a moment ago. I'd potentially need several seconds to figure out what is going on.

I would hazard a guess that an approach that might be more fruitful be to have a meter that dynamically adjusts the "riskiness" of the situation between a yellow, orange, and red zone, so that the driver (a) has to pay attention constantly, (b) gets information constantly, and hence (c) has a better chance to react earlier. I know if I see a "danger meter" getting into the orange zone, I'm not going to wait until it goes into the red before I start paying attention.
... or is it just a tribute?
If everyone did, it would have an impact, since people would travel less (planning costs time), and slower.
'abort' as word is more offensive/triggering than the joke.

In all fairness the Bitcoin, BTC, is currently close to unusable and scales very bad. It quickly gets oversaturated with transaction and transaction fees rise quick. I think the conspiracy has come full circle. Those who slowly "threw sand in its engine" has done a great job. Why are transaction fees low today? Because no one, or a lot less, is using BTC. I know some will label me as a conspiracist. I've been following this project since early 2011 and it has derailed badly. The community is a toxic mess. On both sides to some extent.
I'm interested in how they will do this trading. Off-chain or on-chain.

Bitcoin Cash, BCH, though is very interesting. It conforms to the original idea (whitepaper) much better in my opnion. No second layer nonsense "solutions". A simple block size limit increase (again) and enablement of Op-Codes (again). All coming 15th of May. The very reason to why Ethereum was created by Vitalik was because Op-Codes usage was too limited on BTC. This changes with BCH; Op-Codes will be back and open for smart contracts. Lots of merchants and people are beginning to use BCH. Because it is fast (0-conf works again) and has close to zero transaction fees. It's the project I began following early 2011.
Oh, it's certainly not a big problem, I just wanted to let you know :)

liked the project by the way!
