>This revolution should have started with mundane tasks, such as city street sweepers and perhaps garbage trucks. Vehicles that move slow on a predefined path in the night. Then advance to faster moving objects like taxis.

No, you've got it backwards. The point of all of the above comments is that driving in cities and densely populated areas is a much more difficult challenge than driving down a straight open highway in the middle of nowhere. That's the easy part, the hard part comes when there are humans and all sorts of obstructions and road/land features to deal with.
I think Prime also killed it. Fast deliveries and no minimum amount ended up making Amazon the first choice in my head.
The Working Songwriter with Joe Pug.

A series of interviews with touring singer/songwriters.

Parallels to software and business: hustle and grinding for a desired way of life, cultivating a skill over time, building a product that people will pay for in an increasingly saturated market, dealing with imposter syndrome and the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Anyone with interests in both songwriting and software will enjoy it.
"You put your trust in governments to not mess with the currency. That's on you. When shit hits the fan people buy gold, it's no different with crypto. People don't trust the government to manage currency correctly in times of trouble. But even in good times, crypto has a lot going for it."

Some people, not all people. And that's why I said that it unsure whether that's an actual value or not.

"Transactions are very fast and very low compared to traditional currency. Often it takes days to move money between banks, or will cost you much more than a bitcoin transaction fee to move faster."

No, not really. Credit card transactions are far, far faster than a Bitcoin one. Bank transfers in Europe are quite fast, too.

"Again, bitcoin could have 100x the users and the power requirements would be negligible compared to banking. There is no 'scale up' power wise needed for bitcoin."

So, not actually applicable to the US. (Unless you're going to argue that the US's imports aren't enough to matter. If you want to try to make that argument, go ahead, but it's clearly an additional step that's needed before you can argue that we should actually try to apply MMT.)

They don't have to weld in an inert gas chamber.

Titanium welding is typically done by purging the air around the weld and/or pumping the inert gas into the parts being welded assuming they're tubes, etc.. A bunch of the gasses involved are heavier than air and that property can be used to come up with clever solutions.

Maybe the Russians built a giant chamber but that seems like a very non-russian solution considering their great awareness of KISS. More likely they found a way to seal an area around the weld and weld in sections that allowed them to pump inert gas into small areas near the welding equipment.
Somehow this isn‘t working properly for me on my iPhone. It‘s not always clear what parts are touchable, and hitting the right spot is sometimes difficult (eg hitting strings is difficult with my fat fingers)

Yes, it is OK. It's my computer, and I can run whatever code I want to on it. If I want to run an ad-blocker, that's my business.

If the store doesn't want to give merchandise away for free, then they should stop doing that. When I make an HTTP request, it's just that: a request. Their server can either respond with the page, or not (or a different page). It's my business what I do with the code that the server sends me.

>When a business has high prices or a poor experience, it's customary to shop elsewhere, not to raid the store.

Poor analogy. These websites aren't actually selling you stuff, they're giving away stuff for free, and hoping you'll look at the ads.

If I go into a store that's handing out free samples along with a stack of paper advertisements to look at, and I take some samples and decline to take the ads (or I promptly drop the ads into the trash can), that's the store's problem, not mine. I have no obligation to look at their ads. It's the business's responsibility to come up with a workable business model.
Developing an Azure Sphere Experience with Visual Studio
Jumbo jets aren't nearly as expensive as people think, these are often rented and those which are not can be resold.

Jumbo jets would not require anywhere near the amount of investment the concorde would even if you didn't had to recertify it from scratch.

For the most part the "uber rich" would use a private jet as long as they can make money of it as in being able to get where they need to be at the shortest of notices which the concord won't allow them.

You can land a gulfstream anywhere same goes for something like a 737, a 747 is a bit more restrictive but it still can land in virtually every metropolitan airport in the world.

Heck the fuel costs alone would be over the top even for the uber rich were talking about $50-60,000 an hour at it's cruising speed of 1260 knots.

The best treatment for Lyme is a balanced immune system. Some people can be treated by a single course of Doxycycline, most relapse after 6 months and CDC incorrectly indicates that the cause is unknown. It's still Lyme. 2 of the 3 Lyme forms are resistant to antibiotics. Proper treatment will take months, or longer if coinfected, and require multiple, pulsing of antibiotics or herbals (yes, they are quite effective on me and others).
"all progress depends on the unreasonable man"

I don't have any particular knowledge or opinion on this person's work, how liable it was to lead to breakthroughs and whether it could have been accomplished as quickly with less risk. But medical science has a long and, frankly, glorious history of self experimentation featuring both Nobel Prizes[1] and deaths[2]. I'm sure most of the people who do this are overconfident just based on the selection process but still medical science, and hence all of us, have benefited from their attempts and I'm not going to look down on someone who is willing to risk their own life in pursuing the frontiers of medicine, even if they might be after fame or notoriety.

I think the disturbing thing to me is that there wasn't any sort of layered reliability approach to the testing process itself. When you know you're going to be testing changes to a very complex, multi-sensor real-world system, it would be a standard approach to lay in a more foundational set of technology and practices to the system tests to serve as a conservative safety net.

For example, an overriding set of heuristics to brake if needed could be one precaution, and in terms of practices, the human monitor, should have been swapped out at high intervals to alleviate attention fatigue. One can go back and forth on the details, but the need for a separate and independent treatment of safety reviews from the primary product development activity in this kind of endeavour should have been drawn from any of a number of existing practices in other industries.

And this is something that a lot of the casual tech articles completely miss - criticizing the primary autonomy tech which of course will have faults, but if you know you will have faults, then where is the serious plan to operate safely knowing the dev system is anticipated to have faults of many types.

I think that you can ask for advice, but do so in specific context with a clear indication of when you plan to raise. During the meeting, ask the investor to help you in a concrete way. You learn a lot about interest based on what the investor does to help you.
One thing that I am surprised that nobody talks about, when discussing UBI is the fact that the USA already has UBI for a largish segment of the population.

The US UBI program is called social security. It is just a check that is given to old people with which they can use for whatever they want.

The issue with your observations is that Gigaom isn't known widely outside of big tech. So I don't feel it's fair to compare their failure to the possibility of a mainstream outlet attempting this.

Many rituals are really useful as I recently learned. E.g. when someone dies, what do you do? If you do the prescribed process X nobody can tell you you skimped and you don't have to worry about going overboard. Want to have a wedding? Hey, there's a handy kit (vows, receiving line, cake, whatever) so you don't have to invent it as you go along.

The big downside of course is, like so many things, they can be hacked as a way of controlling people, including adding pointless ones. But if you see them as opt-in toolkits you can take advantage of the pieces you want.

And they are hardly stuck in stone: a white wedding dress (or a specific wedding dress at all) is a pretty recent invention (thanks, Victoria) that spread into all sorts of odd corners of the world because people like it. Why not?
The video was very obviously obtained from a dashcam solution that isn't actually used to do any of the autonomous driving. It's possible they don't even record the raw footage from the AI cameras, that's a huge bandwidth hog.

Their approach has been partially dictated by circumstance. Certainly China has been playing catchup for the past few decades. But I think it's unwise to bet on this happening indefinitely.

There is without doubt a grotesque irony in this story. Uber stands as a perfect symbol of the reckless capitalism of the 21st century: invests hundreds of millions in building a self-driving monster in the shape of a 2 ton luxury SUV, then puts behind its wheel- as a "safety driver"- a former convict for attempted robbery. And the capitalism-fueled metal golem immediately crushes a homeless woman pushing a humble bicycle. I mean, it could have been written as a satire of our times. Except, it really happened.

> If your flight time is half, you can run twice as many flights per day with the same plane

Certainly not. Planes don't spend all their time flying. A significant part of the time they are being boarded or people are stepping out, and freight is being loaded and unloaded, and the plane is service, fuel tanks are filled, catering material brought in, wings are de-iced. Some of these activities happen at the same time with each other, but many of them not.
This is probably the estimated average cost for all dogs, big & small, in all parts of the US: large metros, suburbia, and boonies. The cost is not uniform depending on the type of dog, area, and owner (think the cost of accessories, grooming, 'day care' and travel). It probably doesn't factor in pet health insurance either. This said, I didn't look at the methodology or data.
It's all bullshit and without wisdom. Just because you want to believe something is true or holds truths doesn't make it so.

I doubt they're writing the whole chip—instead, a statistical sampling seems sufficient.

And wouldn't most controllers already handle accumulating errors, including any introduced by the testing process? I understood that a portion of flash storage is set aside for redundancy.
I should also mention that if you're willing to make assumptions like a uniform prior, this totally works, but it can lead to some surprising results for small a, b. Notably a uniform prior is Beta[1, 1]. Beta[2,1] implies something like a 75% chance of the true mean being above .5, which seems a tad overzealous.
There is an obvious solution: don't stop, just slow down to <25 mph. On the streets where it is normal for pedestrians to approach that close, the speed limit is almost always 25 mph or lower and often the typical speed is much lower because of traffic. On streets with higher speeds, if a pedestrian is approaching that close to traffic, they either don't see the car or they have a death wish.

I see dev process less for sustainability of the code and more for the sake of sanity. I have been asked to rebuild tools that we only have the executable for and no source.

I think the problem lies more in that people are set in their ways and don't want to change. I'm not so hellbent on using hip new tools - like git or an issue tracker - but I push really hard to get people to communicate and interact. Unfortunately, everyone has carved out a niche and there's an understanding to stay out of each others' part of the project.
How to Contribute to Open Source Without Stress
heavy on opinion

It's an editorial. That's generally what they are are: Someone's opinion.

It is, in fact, an editorial published in the MIT Faculty Newsletter. A hundred years ago, the only people who would have read it would be MIT faculty. But thanks to the internet, now anyone with internet access can read this editorial.

If it were a random person on the internet having a cow about what MIT does as if people at MIT should care about their opinion, okay, fine, sure SJW makes sense as an accusation. But it makes no sense to act like the faculty of MIT are up to something questionable for expressing opinions about how MIT should comport itself.

Edit: I mean, it's fine if you want to express your opinion that 'Hey, this is not really HN-worthy.' Maybe that's what you meant. It certainly isn't what you said. Though that inevitably leads to someone quoting the guidelines as to what is appropriate to post here and linking to them and blah blah blah.

> "As the head of the GNU Project, I am in charge of what we publish in GNU manuals. I decide the criteria to decide by, too"

Interesting. Sounds decidedly authoritarian to cite (sole?) control of the content and criteria.

> "I exercise my authority over Glibc very rarely -- and when I have done so, I have talked with the official maintainers. So rarely that some of you thought that you are entirely autonomous."

That sounds puzzling. "It turns out my rank actually supersedes yours and always has, I've just never exercised it until now."

In general I've always thought that Stallman is to be admired. He's made a fantastic contribution to society. I don't really have a position on the issue at the heart of this manpage content debate, but on the meta-issue of what his role is/should be, his position seems like an odd one.

Ultimately, the copyright holders for the source code (and to some extent the manuals) have the real power regarding "who controls glibc?". I suspect that no one will care strongly enough about this particular issue in order to drive a real fork.

The law as written and the law in practice, are different matters.

NYC would not function with actual adherence to the law.

There is never a break in pedestrians long enough for a car to turn in a fully legal fashion at most intersections, which is why human drivers wait for the largest mass of the built-up crowd to go and then inch their way through the stream of those just arriving at the intersection (with pedestrians seeing what the car is going to do and then flowing around the car). Technically, the pedestrians have the full right of way.

On the pedestrian side, blocks are short, and if you don't jaywalk it would take forever to walk up/downtown.

And if you were to fully split pedestrian and vehicle phases (and get New Yorkers to start adhering to it), you'd just grind the city to a halt because you're moving less people/cars than the "maximum throughput" flows than we have now.
