I'm not convinced that (2) is literally true — that the pedestrian would have been likely to be killed in this particular instance — but: she was strolling nonchalantly across a four-lane roadway with a 45mph speed limit, in the dark, with dark clothing on, and paying not the slightest attention to oncoming traffic. I'm sure that if she did that regularly, sooner or later she would have had at least a close call.
The problem with this logic is that it applies to phones, tablets, and laptops as well.

There isn't much additional risk from having an Echo or a Google Home if you already keep a smartphone within 10 feet of you at all times, which most of the people who are buying these devices do.
It doesn't need to be based on the microphone, it can be based on that second processor. It can be based on network activity (my USB Wifi adapter blinks whenever data is sent/received, even though it's connected 24/7, I don't see why anything else couldn't do that).

We're also discussing theoretical hardware changes, there's no reason it can't have 2 sets of microphones where one is hardwired only to the wake-word processor which has no direct connection to the main processor except some one-way signalling, and the LED is hardwired to the second set.

You still end up paying $60 a month, but now you get six channels instead of 100.

And 94% of Comcast channels are trash. I have no problems with people who subscribe to Comcast based on the number of channels they carry, though. Personally, I don't need hardly any of them.
It's crazy to use these things at the moment, in my opinion. Maybe in a couple years the failure modes and ways these things can be used to terrible ends will be better understood. But for now, it's not well-understood how many things could go wrong with an internet-connected always-listening microphone that knows all your contacts and can buy things.
The mistake you are making is not taking into account forward earnings. Your reasoning may have worked in the past but tech companies and the markets these days are different. When you take forward earnings seriously, all these valuations start looking reasonable.

Why pay $40 for Netflix stock today if it’s damn near guaranteed to be a massive business in the future? You will pay $350+.

Why aren’t we paying $350+ for Comcast if it has 81x the net income of Netflix? Because Comcast is going down the shitter.
There is no insane investment you can't say that about. Those metallic-cover special issue Marvel X-Men comics they used to "limited collector release" in the early 90s will eventually be of enormous value to archaeologists in the future, too.
The parent was making a sarcastic counterpoint.
Because Netflix can't fund infinite shows, and needs to allocate their resources that will attract and retain customers. It's not as if the crappy show producers will let Netflix keep the shows for free.
The simplest explanation of machine learning you’ll ever read
This entire debate reminds me of this classic Milton Friedman video (I think the key difference with Uber, and where they are likely to get in trouble, is that they never made any estimate about how many lives their car experiment would cost that I am aware of): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYW5I96h-9w
I believe in past lives. You won't believe me, or you may think I'm delusional or very imaginative, but I remember some of my past lives.

One of my most vivid memories: I was a woman in some country in Africa. I lived in a hut which was some torn concrete fixed up with mud and a thatched roof. I had two sons-- one was about three, and the other was a baby. I don't know where my husband was in these memories, but I remember that i liked him-- like I was growing fond of him, because perhaps I wasn't sure before? I remember carrying the baby in my arms. He was my favorite (I had a bad feeling about the older boy). So I remember constantly looking into the baby's eyes to see if he still had sweetness. I don't remember their names and I don't remember the time period. Bad stuff happened and I died young and I don't know what happened to my boys.

I believe I only remember what's relevant to me in this life, and that souls aren't just reincarnated on Earth. I don't believe in karma, just life/soul lessons.
But, as usual, you don't know what the profile of the calculations were, in particular because you don't know the mode it's operating in/data it's operating on. ("OpenFOAM" is actually many different programs.)

That said, the indications are that the performance is decent for HPC. What I haven't seen is a comparison with Ryzen (or POWER9). There's also a lack of data even on the SIMD hardware in ThunderX2 and POWER9, at least that I've been able to find.
I am not going to debate anything further with someone who conflates a wide range of different political movements under the same umbrella, "because they're all collectivist". That is a dangerously unstable high horse to sit on.

Good day.
Goddmn right : if the things brakes erratically then, come one, it's not ready to brake !!
So you're saying that all data that has made it to the cloud will eventually leak? That seems like a strange assumption to me.
Ask HN: What are credible bootcamps for a career change?
I'm a 25 year old neuroscience grad seeking to change careers to become a software engineer. My concern is a lack of focus on strong fundamentals in coding bootcamps. Which bootcamps do you recommend and are they worthwhile to truly build a career in CS? Thanks.
What's more shocking to me is that Netflix is worth more than Disney.

What is the chance that Disney can execute implementing its own Netflix? What is Disney's batting average on projects like that?
Download a ton of video games for the crew? I mean, ROMs for old systems are pretty easy to get by the bucketload, and careful use of stuff like GOG could get plenty of hours of DRM free entertainment for space travel related purposes.

But yeah, I think a sample of the internet stored offline could work. Maybe mix that with a P2P system that lets people post pages, social media posts, etc with other people on the ship, like you can with IPFS/Freenet/ZeroNet/whatever.
By that logic, are you free to show copyrighted films you torrented to all your friends and family as long as the event is not open to the general public?
a) Your phone has a microphone that picks up information spoke more-or-less directly into it. An Echo is specifically equipped with a microphone array designed to extract audio from anywhere in the room.

b) There is a great deal less ambiguity around "pressing buttons" than there is around interpreting speech. While it is unlikely that your phone will incorrectly detect button presses, it's very common for voice-activated devices to a) incorrectly detect a wake word (either negative or positively); and b) misunderstand some particular word used in the command. Your phone is not going to think you pressed the "Clothes" button when you actually pressed "Close".

c) The entire functionality of the device is accessible from behind that big ambiguous interface. On a phone, there are many distinct steps and screens to step through when you want to do something (this complex interface, by the way, is a non-trivial part of why butt-dials are quite rare these days). On a "smart speaker", most things are just one misheard statement/command away from occurring.
Short answer: the state of Hawaii does.

Longer answer: the matter was decided in State by Kobayashi v. Zimring in 1977 (Supreme Court of Hawaii). They found that there was no applicable common law precedent, since land created by eruptions that impacts private title is very rare. The only precedent they found in Hawaii dates to 1877 (before Hawaii was US territory!) and it's not clear how to generalize it (note that Hawaiian land was the property of the King at the time). The closest thing is accretion by riverbanks and the like, which everyone in the case agreed wasn't particularly relevant. The court basically said "we're making completely new law here, so we can do whatever we want" and chose granting the land to the public interest as the proper solution.
Even if there was no Kubernetes, both Mesos and Nomad seem better than Docker Swarm depending on your use case. I don't know if Docker really would have been very successful even if Kubernetes didn't exist.
Consider that Comcast operates exclusively in the US whereas Netflix operates globally.

This also gives Netflix more room for growth compared to Comcast.
So if regular people download music and movies it's "unethical" and "hurts the industry", but if big corporations make profits photographers' work then it's "fair use" ?

It really smells like BS to me.
Ashwagandha is great, also known as indian ginseng. Has been very helpful, but would recommend making sure it will help balance your doshas rather than aggravate them.
So, if I understand you correctly:

- You are pretty certain that your phone is listening at all times, even though it's set not to.

- You see no difference between a product that's advertised manly as a listening device and one that also has such a feature, that can theoretically be turned off, and is very useful otherwise.

I did not intend to state a wish that any of Google, ECS, AWS or EKS would “win”.

I do believe EKS is a good choice for many people. As is GKS, and many similar offerings.

BTW I work for a company selling Kubernetes tools and support.
This is crazy, of course shows get canceled. Ratings are a huge portion of why shows are canceled on cable because ratings are directly tied to revenue. I guarantee Netflix is looking at revenue when deciding how to spend their Original Content budget. Ratings would be a good indicator, but that's not the stat to chase.
There's the third option of slowing down. That's what most human drivers do subconsciously when we see something that we're having trouble identify, and feel it could turn into an obstacle.
Why do you think users can delete their data at will?
A lot of DDOS attacks use UDP-based amplification techniques. I know DNS and NTP were frequently used and could get amplification factors of up to 500x. This year there have been some amplification attacked using Memcache that could get 50,000x amplification.
They don't just ask though, they allow no other way to access the information. Unless switching to a PC and finding your way back down the trail to it is an acceptable option. Never has been in my experience.

If the system had enough false positives that they decided to disable the braking, it's possible it had enough false positives that the operator would have learned to ignore the alert beep too.
The dashcam footage has poor dynamic range and is not representative of what a human driver would have seen. (This has been pointed out repeatedly in previous discussions here on HN — I'm saying that not to chide you, but just to establish it as a fact.)
That's a good thing; our field could use a lot more computer science and a lot less mystique.
I actually used to have a solution with home-assistant, find (uses wifi signal fingerprinting for location) and hue. It worked okay with very little work (sometimes 1-5s delay turning lights on/off) but I never cared enough to put more work in to get it better.

I think "find" and similar tools are now much more advanced so it might work better out of the box now.

Human drivers are also charged when they kill people, so (2) doesn't seem to have any weight.

In 2018, why the heck is it that I can't click on something to indicate, "I want to watch this," then I get a notification when it airs, and have a list of shows/events now available to watch? If media companies want their advertisements to be worthwhile, why don't they get their act together and do this?

The answer is that they will try to implement this only for their own company, and this will fail. Such a thing could only succeed with a standard that everyone used.
Note: most of this is purely anecdotal / may or may not be backed up by rigorous scientific research, but a lot of it comes down through ancient wisdom teachings / tips from eastern medicine (Indian / Chinese) so please don't put me on the cross if there is no medical study to back up what I am listing here :)

* Enough Sleep (at least 6 hours)

* Staying in a single location / time zone (hard for me, as I'm travelling every week)

* Eating healthy / balanced diet

* Eating at normal times (avoid late night eating)

* Celibacy

* Avoiding cold water (sticking to room temperature, and if sick only sipping hot water / teas)

* Reducing caffeine intake (coffee)

* Light yoga practice

* Staying warm in cold environments

* Get a blood check up and see if any deficiencies (look out for Vit D, Vit B, Zinc, high cholesterol, BP, fatty liver, Thyroid activity, etc.. Vit C supplementation also helps)

* Reduce / eliminate mental / emotional stress

* Eat organic / local

* Reduce meat consumption

This is true, but not unusual. Any time you ask for the simplest/earliest/minimal X, you quickly get bogged down in the gray area of what exactly counts as an X.

So the above doesn't count, okay, make it a bit stricter and it takes a few orders of magnitude more computation to generate self replication. A bit stricter again, another few orders of magnitude. Then we run out of computing power, but can conjecture that by the time you get to the physics of our universe, self replication will presumably still appear at least once in, say, every 1e1000 Hubble volumes. Which is still silver plate territory compared to e.g. Conway's game of life, which has no uphill paths. So you get to pick what level you're satisfied with.
I'm with you up until the "almost certainly" part. Is there any actual hard data on that?
Uh, dude, I know being a fan of Google is your thing here, but this was less than a year ago: http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/11/technology/google-home-mini-...

And it's a flaw so bad they had to outright remove the button entirely, because they couldn't fix it without replacing the hardware.

I think the troll accusation might have been a bit overboard, but it's clear you're making some odd leaps in your assertions.

First, this submission is about the end of one person't handling of cpan search, not the end of CPAN, or the end of Perl. It's the change of the guard, from a lone person to a group. That doesn't exactly scream the end of something or insignificance.

Second, the comment you responded to was trying to make a point about the maintenance of old Perl. You didn't address that at all, and instead used it to make an alternate point entirely.

Really, it sort of came across like hijacking a thread to grind and axe. The problem is less the argument, and more the presentation. If you had instead presented an opinion in a bit softer manner, and asked how people thought, you might have gotten some useful responses and good discussion. Instead you made an assertion about the end of the subject of discussion, and called it defeated. It's not hard to see how some might interpreted that as an attack on the subject of their livelihood, given the general audience you could expect. At best it was tone-deaf.

I've not indicated a child-like belief in the invisible hand. Labor is a product. If the supply is constricted then the price for it ought to go up. Isn't this generally true? So much so that if it isn't the case in this situation then one ought to provide reasoning for this.

A claim was made that constricting immigration will not lead to increased wages. I think this is contrary to how it normally works and thus the person making that claim ought to show why it's true. Let's turn it around, why don't you show the reverse of what you ask me?

I'm not an economist. I merely asked a question and sought input as to why labor prices wouldn't increase. I think you are reading too much into what I wrote. I'm strongly in favor of immigration. I'm a union member and I think labor laws are far too lax in the U.S. I think immigration would not be an issue if we had strong labor laws that were enforced. But we don't have those laws and thus people blame immigration for their woes.

But whatever one believes with regard to immigration it's extremist to think that there are no negative consequences of immigration and it's extremist to think there are no positive consequences of immigration.

From [1]:

For some subperiods and groups, the effects are positive or zero, but the most common result is that a 1 percentage point increase in the fraction of the population that is foreign-born reduces wages from 1.0–1.6 percent.

It's worth pointing out that the paper mentions that calculating the true impact is hard and controversial so who knows if the above is correct?

The whole point is that they were not comparing anything to clean water or cheap food. They were comparing something to water that doesn't need to be moved inside manually and bread that doesn't have to be made at home.

Neither of which is needed to live. Both of which are conveniences.
Action creators always felt like and unnecessary abstraction to me. To avoid the aforementioned problem, I passed down a message library, or action object that has all of the actions on it, and dispatch. It's all I need!
Ok, I never said that the 'analysis' should be purely based on dollar value. I never even said it should be a mathematical model. You accuse me of a strawman and then turn around and do the same to me.

I was simply pointing out that we can never get to zero risk, and since we can't, we have to weigh risks based on consequences and probability.

> 1) fully examine the system for potential critical failure points/modes

Sure, to the best of your ability. How can you know for certain you have found all potential critical failure points? You can get pretty sure, but never fully sure. We still have industrial accidents, in every single industry in the world.

You also have to define what a 'critical risk' is. I don't think it is an a priori fact that accidentally sending a recording of a conversation to a contact is a 'critical risk'.
"increasingly" ? Was there a time when unintelligent people were more protected, and less exploited by private interests ("caveat emptor" and con artists and snake-oil sellers) and government (institutionalization, eugenics, propaganga)?
Yeah the native code story has been deferred and using OCaml directly is currently far easier. This will change.

If you can't carry a mobile phone in your pocket without it bending, the phone is not fit for purpose.

Maybe nobody notices when other companies sell phones that are unfit and, later, lie to the public about it. On the other hand, nobody would defend them either.
I get your point, and I agree with you overall, but it's not quite fair to compare Netflix movies to Disney movies. Netflix's wheelhouse in original content is TV series, not movies. IMO, they're second only to HBO in that space.
I really like the look, very nice job on that.

Is there any particular reason though why you didn't follow the aria standards for the controls? None of these controls can be used by a keyboard, and a screen-reader sees them only as text.
Hate to be that guy, but while people being somewhat shittier anonymously is a real thing, there are whole cadres of incredibly horrible people that will post horrible stuff under their real names and be proud of it. Losing anonymity means losing protections for actually vulnerable people. The shittiest people are often the ones with the most secure positions in society.

No, but you are allowed to show copyrighted films you bought to your family and friends as long as the event is not open to the general public.

Doesn't this hinge around if Google legally acquired the film in the first place? Assuming they did that, wouldn't the only other violation be if it was distributed?
