But does the average driver know that? It is their perception that's important here. The Utah driver expected the car would not fly her into the mountain, so to speak. Naming, marketing context of self driving alongside this feature, and driver instruction are all likely part of the puzzle.

If you think the name has nothing to do with it, would you also say that if it had the name "Deluxe Cruise Control" people would treat it the same? I'm not so sure about that. Engineers maybe.
Hi thinking was that people want clean, simple and minimal features and they would be willing to pay price for it (same as what Jobs might have said). But in reality, people buy high end phones for clean, simple and high end features. The problem is that developing last thing takes huge capital and long time. There is no way to compete with top dogs in high end market. If you are a small company, only viable way for you to succeed is keep the prices low and carve out a niche.

Computers are the genies and golems of the fairytales. Stories that demonstrate the folly of confusing what you ask with what you mean are as old as humanity itself, but the stories we now tell are not fictional anymore: we went and built those golems and genies and now share the planet with billions of them!
Certainly not all EU Governments are elected. In The Netherlands, for example, you vote for Parliament. Parliamentary leaders then seek an agreement and propose a cabinet, which is formally instated by the King. When you cast your vote, you don't know who will be in government, nor do you have any say in it.

I'm a proponent of this system, just wanted to point out that governments are not necessarily elected. I think the same holds in many other EU countries, e.g., Belgium and Germany.

I'd personally be pleased if Essential gets credit at least for making top centered notches on smartphone devices mainstream

What?

Notch is a boneheaded design compromise, not an achievement!
the help gets more specific the more complete your command gets. Try "ip link add type vlan help" for example. While i agree it does nothing to explain what the various switches do, if you know what you are trying to achieve this is most of the time enough.

However i do not agree about the man pages the switches are explained there in enough detail in my opinion...
I'm mostly in the same boat: not having a 3.5mm jack is an excluding factor for me. As someone who has multiple headsets, I'm not surrendering to #dongleLyfe until I'm left with no other options. Thankfully the likes of Samsung, LG and OnePlus don't seem to be interested in dropping it.

I would've had a huawei p20 pro right now if that thing carried a 3.5mm jack, as it's one of the very few phones who fills my other requirements.
It is generally unusual for any camera (not using infrared) to outperform the human eye in low light situations. If a camera (any camera) shows a clear image (at all) a person would have almost certainly seen it.
Your own email account on a VPS or other web hosting? I've been doing this for my work email for years, moved my personal email over at the start of the year and so far it's worked perfectly. Thunderbird's support for long email threads isn't as good as Gmail's but that's about the only downside I've seen (and that's a downside of Thunderbird, not of the approach to email).

Not that many people, Brexit was a pure coincidence. It wasn't caused because most people in the UK were against the EU but by irrational fears against imaginary immigrants. If there hadn't been an immigrant problem in other EU countries due to the civil war in Syria at that time, Brexit would never had happened. That there was this problem at the same time was a pure coincidence and had nothing to do with the EU - and a lot with the USA's and UK's military involvement in Iraq, of course.

Also bear in mind that the vast majority of all British politicians were "Stay", because they knew what's at stake.

It is also mysterious to me what makes you think that the EU would "suck" at understanding, collaboration and compromise. These are central pillars of the EU, without those three factors the EU could not have possibly been founded by unanimous votes of all 28 member states. All I can say to people like who - who genuinely leave me baffled - is that you could inform yourself better about the EU structure and what EU programs and institutions are actually doing and, most importantly, how incredibly cheap the EU is in comparison to the respective national budgets.

Last but not least, there is either peace or no peace. People, states, and nations will always disagree about certain matters. Your idea of a "true peace" is naive and unrealistic.
Actually my example is far simpler and less interesting.
Having a console devkit read un-ordered file data from a local disk ends up being slower than reading the same data from a developer's machine from an SSD over a plain gigabit network connection.
Simply has to do with the random access patterns and seek latency of the spinning disk versus the great random access capabilities of an SSD.
Note this is quite unoptimised reading of the data.
But the general idea of the UI was what set the iPhone apart. Instead of using a stylus to simulate a mouse, it used your fingers and direct manipulation of the user interface. That was a huge conceptual change.
This is not an edge case. My understanding is that the Tesla autopilot uses the camera solely for lane marker detection. The Radar is used solely for moving vehicle detection. There is no sensor for stationary object in your lane detection. That's up to the driver, and that's why Tesla emphasizes the number of seconds the driver had their hands off the wheel in each of these crashes.
At least here in the UK, cabinet members are generally chosen from amongst the elected MPs, and if they're particularly terrible voters sometimes give them the boot at the next election, ending their career.
I see a mix of flat and material design, but I'm not sure it has a name like Brutalist does. One should probably come up soon given how nice it is. I really like the Rubik font here.
I completely agree (though it is some years since I was at school).

Still, as Lockhart points out: at least art and music are recognised as arts. Surely even the ropiest music and art educations at least admit that these arts are:

1. ends in themselves, because

2. they are beautiful.

I believe these opinions are entirely absent from most mathematics education.
I doubt you get many/any sites slashdotted from the actual slashdot these days. But you do see sites slashdotted from HN articles every day.

And you will be going forwards as well. People will not create horizontally autoscalable, cachachable sites as that cost money and effort for 99.9999% sites that will never need it.

True we are at an age were it is easier, more well known how to do it, and less and less costly, but still not free in money and time.

> Securitization of mortgage debt is why you can buy a house with a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at 4.5% (and a non-trivial reason why 30 year fixed is available at any price).

No, this is the reason why I can’t buy a house using my responsible savings after years of hard work. You are eroding the value of my savings. The massive increase of money supply chasing the finite asset is the reason why the ordinary American is forced to use your product in the first place.

You should consider yourself lucky that you have any BoA shares to hold onto after the subprime meltdown.

Let’s not kid ourselves, providing liquidity to these markets isn’t done out of good faith. All lenders are doing is hiding/shifting risk. This does not mean the risk goes away, but rather creating massive systemic risk much more catastrophic to society.

Interest risk is covered with interest rate swaps; floating vs fixed.

Is BoA a bank or investment bank? Should it take deposits in pay a fixed return, add its markup and lend it out what they have as responsible, vetted business loans?

Look, I’m not arguing the efficiencies of the status quo. I’m empathizing and voicing the risk and serfdom the ordinary individual and communities endure. When an individual defaults, lender isn’t the only one who suffers. Between the 4.5% interest plus 1-2% property tax realized every year, you hope that your property value rises by 5.5-6.5% every year before you break even. Should your primary dwelling be viewed as a financial instrument? How about profit sharing rather than usury upon sale of the house if you really want to assume the risk? Or partial settlement refund if the home never went up in value? It’s difficult to realistically consider these options as the foundation of our financial system is based on interest and inflation.
Someone looked at COBOL and thought, "That looks great".
It announces "I'm using VPN", nothing more.

It is unclear why you are asking these questions in the first place. What is a "Christian country"? It's a country founded on predominately christian ideals. If you thought about it, I think you can come up with some countries that definitely fall under that category. Do something similar to come to a list of countries that are predominately Muslim. While they obviously will not have identical standpoints, there is at least one that springs to mind instantly when you think "banned pornography". No, it is not one uniform religion, but thankfully that also wasn't the point.
It is directly unlockable for easy rooting and modding, unlike most phones... that's a big plus. (there's only the Pixel, OnePlus and maybe only 1 or 2 others like that)
Did anyone combine this with Blazor yet? That would make it possible to create the entire application, backend and frontend, in dotnet, running it as webassembly in the UI. No javascript needed, just c#/f# against the DOM.
Yes, but it's improbable. You can communicate with Alexa at human inaudible frequency and instruct it to set it's volume to 1/10(0/10?) but of course you need to be reasonably local and targeted.

Is it possible that there's a remote exploit? Yeah of course but if it's in the wild enough that this particular individual was struck by a seemingly random (and valueless) attack we'd be seeing a lot more of these in the wild than we are.

As others said relay nodes are safe and low risk to run. I wouldn't run an exit node without looking into the legal risk and having a plan.
I stand corrected. It was my impression from multiple articles that fines would not be an immediate enforcement.

However, as much as I would like them to get slapped around, I believe the likes of Facebook are too smart/nefarious to act the way they do without having some sort of plan or escape hatch that would have them dodge said fines.

You don't like Trump or people who support him. What does this have to do with this article?

Not everything in the world need to be connected and associated with US politics and trump vs anti-trump politics. If we brought in the political views of every creator, inventor and artist than we would not be able to discuss anything on HN other than politics since every creator, inventor, and artist has a political view and people who agree and disagree with that political view.
No. The Linux kernel has two APIs, and has had since before systemd even existed. ifconfig uses the ioctl() API, which presents the concept of alias IP addresses in one way. ip uses the netlink API, which presents the concept of multiple IP addresses per interface in a different way. M. Siebenmann did include this point.

Cryo fees and compound interest are separate concepts. Just because the second is present, doesn't mean the first one will grow. The opposite is true: When more people want something, you scale up production (or someone else does) and the prices (generally) go down.
I honestly don't know either way, but I wouldn't trust PETA's word on anything without double-checking. I believe they mean well, but they've never shied from bending the truth and using blatant propaganda techniques to try to meet their ends.

The only reason anyone remembers the LG Prada is to bring it up in this kind of discussion.

If it was so radical and ground-breaking, how come LG are an also-ran Android OEM and not the most valuable company ever?

It's an asinine argument as it takes the most superficial elements, such as a full touchscreen, conveniently ignoring the actual things that made the iPhone so innovative, such as multitouch UX, proper web browser, full featured operating system, exclusive carrier partnerships and more.

Here's what the LG was actually like:

* No multitouch

* Flash-based UI

* T9 keyboard – even though it was a touchscreen it still used predictive text

* Basic browser, no pinch to zoom
Our computer lab had a bunch of SGI Indy's, and it was first machines the CS department had with cams on them. It took less than a semester from they were installed until every student had learned that if the camera cover was not in place it was practically an invitation for someone to log in remotely and prank them while using the camera to observe from a safe distance. I like to think that it infused a healthy dose of concern for privacy and security in the student population..

Billing was by month. This was a business decision.

It makes sense too. Billing requires a lot of man hours to pull off. Invoices, auditing, excel spreadsheets, etc. It's a people problem not an engineering problem.

I'm not sure of the disconnect here, but de-duplication is not trivial. If you do it every day nothing is easier than if you do it every month.

Doing it for all time is completely infeasible.

There was not a database of every piece of social media data sent out the door. That's what you would need to make sure not to record the entry again. All we had were flat files in s3.

Big flat files. It took hours to download and merge them all.

Once we had a database (Cassandra) it was updated continually (by a kafka consumer) and we could query it in a few minutes.
What's inexplicable? Tether supplies real value, by allowing people to trade in USD without complying with American (or any other) banking law.

And the alleged fraud is that they're creating USDT out of thin air, and spending them to buy BTC, in order to manipulate the price of Bitcoin upward. If you're a Bitcoin bull, then that's almost a selling point. I don't think any of this ends well, but I see the short-term appeal.

People don't appreciate how slowly government works, especially on financial crimes. Liberty Reserve was blatantly illegal and technically simple, without even the blockchain fig leaf. It operated openly for seven years. Then the government arrested the founder, and sentenced him to twenty years in prison.
You're right, it's not as bad. But the metaproblem here is making the assumption that the global environment is not going to add new APIs.

In the case of Angular zones, if additional async APIs are added to the browser, Angular needs to be updated to patch them with its own zone implementation.

This wouldn't break existing sites, but could leave, for example, sites on older angular versions unable to use new browser APIs, use libraries that use new browser APIs, or install security updates to dependencies if newer versions rely on new browser APIs.
The switches are useless until you have an idea about what the command can do. And yet the 'IP - COMMAND SYNTAX' section has text like 'link - network device'. What the hell does that mean? So 'ip link' does what exactly? Could the developers have typed more than just two words to try to explain this command (action?) Good luck to anyone who decides to RTFM.
The dude ended up with hundreds of million with -as you say- a shitty clone.
How is he unfortunate?
autopilot has a technical meaning which this is totally compatible with, however it has a common meaning that diverges.

The common meaning has been derived from the technical and is affected by some common misunderstandings, such as:

autopilot flies planes all over the place and hardly ever runs into anything becomes autopilot is very safe and not autopilot doesn't run into anything because in the sky there is not very much to run into.

I guess Tesla should have named it something else, but this kind of mistake is quite easy to make and I would say is the norm if anything.

I agree with you in principle. Over the past 4 decades, I have programmed in dozens of programming languages, and remembering things like FOR or CASE loop structures is almost impossible for me now, and I constantly refer to docs.

However, as a starting point for me, it would be easier if the languages all used a common naming convention for things like .upper() etc. Common mistake for me is to try .upper(), then .uppercase(), then have to leave my code and refer to the docs after repeated runtime errors. If I can make a reasonably intelligent guess within 2 or 3 tries, then it bodes well for me. Otherwise it is a productivity hit.

To extrapolate this - the corollary to .upcase() is, to my mind .lowercase(), but it is in fact .downcase(). Makes sense logically ('down' is the opposite of 'up'), but syntax wise, I never say to anyone "You need to write your username in down case...". If the naming conventions for functions followed the English language definitions, then my hit/miss ration will improve, and so will my productivity.

NB: I didn't downvote you (I can't anyway as I don't have the necessary karma to downvote immediate child answers to my posts). I thought you raised a valid point worthy of discussion.
It does not get more political than human rights and supporting basic human rights is a genuinely political position. Not sure what concept of politics would be needed to manage to exclude such hot-topics from its plate.

I'm trying hard to fight my old muscle memory to use ip instead of ifconfig on Linux.

I have a few issues though:

* "ip" is useless as a keyword if you're looking for help online. It's extremely frustrating and probably my main issue actually learning how to use the damn thing.

* ifconfig's output is simply more readable IMO: https://svkt.org/~simias/up/20180525-113825_ip-vs-ifconfig.p... . It's pretty weird that a brand new tool manages to have worse output than a venerable old unix command. Because of this I often end up configuring the network with ip only to double-check everything is right with a quick ifconfig. That's silly.

I think at this point I would've preferred if they had made an "ifconfig2" instead, mostly identical to the old one but with a few breaking changes to add the missing functionality. An incremental update instead of a full rewrite. There's definitely some NIH going on.
If trust is quantified by node, then surely it could just be reduced as a function of outdatedness.
Xfce calls it shade window. I believe it is still there, and can be configured to be double click, or whatever you'd like.
Sorry what I'm getting at is you can't do this problem incrementally. You can't calculate the count on day 1 and add it to the count on day 2. The count of each day is intertwined with all the others.

But yes I suppose if at the end of each day you deduped that days records against the rest of the month you could then add them all together.

Unfortunately day 30 would still be just as bad as doing the whole month, since removing duplicates is as expensive as counting uniques.
So I do a lot of work with both vision and lidar data, and am pretty intimately familiar with the public state of the art in terms of perception systems that rely on each or both, if not planning.

I don't think you need lidar.

I'm not saying that vision-only won't take longer, because it will, but I believe it'll probably happen unless the cost of lidar falls a great deal.

Have a look at, for example, "learning to see in the dark" (the CVPR 2018 one), DensePose (the FB research one) to get a sense of how quickly difficult problems are being solved.

Ok. But why would that be the law? Say my reference number is public on the internet, and the reference number is in a transaction log.
