Short version: due to poor lane markings, Autopilot made the same mistake as many humans in the same situation and collided with the divider. Due to the frequency of this kind of accident, the crash attenuator had been collapsed and not reset meaning the Tesla hit the concrete divider at full speed, as has happened in the past with humans in control.

But please continue to blame Autopilot for not being smarter than the human operating the vehicle.
I know this. ;) Just based on volume patterns and the chart.

My last few bets:

Monday:

GOOGL needs to break over 1338 on good volume. 200K on a 3 minute chart. June 8 1140 calls.

TSLA needs to break 296 with 275k volume on a 3 minute chart. June 15 300 Calls.

Edit:

Day 2: Tuesday

AMZN needs to break over 1669. June 15 - 1680 calls can be used.

FB breaks over 184.25, the July 20-200 Calls can be used.

Day 3: Wednesday:

If CVX breaks over 124.00 the Jul 20 126.00 Calls can be used. Break Above 124

If BABA breaks over 211.00 the Jun 15 210.00 Calls can be used. 600k volume on a 3minute chart

The positions I hold for Twitter:

July 20 - $34.00 calls and $41.00 calls on June 01/2018.
Not really. Nuclear plants don’t scale down. The same factors putting coal plants out of business impact nuclear — cheap, flexible gas and renewables.

With electricity, peak demand is king. It doesn’t make sense to build a billion dollar nuclear plant that isn’t needed except for August.

Let's say "Many of America's tech companies were founded by immigrants, or the children of immigrants."
Google, Sergey Brin
Intel, Andy Grove
Sun, Vinod Khosla
Dropbox, Arash Ferdowsi

Note that all of those came through Stanford or MIT. America's elite universities are hotbeds of immigrant talent that other countries would like to siphon off.

The current war on america's multiculturalism (in pursuit of votes and political power) threatens to deeply damage America's universities, and thus its tech economy.
Because tax rates are the same for old, and new residents/employers, they aren't paying enough to offset the costs they are adding to the system.

If you and your 4 roommates rent a 5-bedroom house... And then a sixth person moves in, and demands that everyone spends $20,000 each, to construct a sixth bedroom... The old residents are getting a pretty bad deal. The new resident paid $20,000 to get a room... But the rest of the house paid $100,000, for no benefit to themselves.

Cities have zoning/subdivision fees to deal with this exact problem. If you're adding X new units to the city, you have to pay for the infrastructure to support these X units.

> Please, keep drinking that Kool-Aid of American exceptionalism. Apart from the British, which other country has contributed to more invasions in foreign countries for the sake of purely economic interests?

I will!

Which country came to the aid of Britain, and all those Western European nations when they were faced with the existential threat of Nazism? Which country has provided refuge and solace to more oppressed and exiled peoples in the world than the US? Which country fought a violent war to rid itself of slavery? Surely not the Western European nations you speak of.

America has done a lot of damage in this world, but I can't think of any other nation that has done so much good either.

> The white lines of the gore (the painted wedge) leading to this very shallow off ramp become far enough apart that they look like a lane.

True, but not one into which the car should have merged. Although crossing a solid white line isn’t illegal in California, it does mean crossing it is discouraged for one reason or another.

I love seeing the advances in tech, but it’s disheartening to see issues that could have been avoided by an intro driver’s ed course.
I also agree that application -> cluster of machines is where we're going. I think it needs to be baked into an specialized programming language to really work well, though, and all of these things we rely on the OS for would have to be handled.

But unikernels running on top of a hypervisor seems like a terrible solution to the problem? You're trading away the convenience of the OS tooling that's built up over the past 40+ years to get closer to the metal and squeeze more performance out, then injecting virtualization in between and throwing that performance gain back away? Why not just make a regular application at that point and not throw away all of the runtime debugging support? A unikernel application running on top of a hypervisor basically turns the unikernel part into just an incredibly large and inefficient libc, in my mind.
It’s a misleading statistic. Probably 500k more workers are employed in railroads, power plants, trucking companies, schools, etc. All dependent on coal.

Using those numbers is like saying that only data center support workers work in tech. Every pair of hands at AWS probably supports 1000x people downstream.
I've had jobs like that. Watching videos and consuming content gets old fast. Then I started learning other languages, contributing to OSS, working on my own project, etc.

Riskier than watching videos, though.
The problem of climate change is the same as the obesity problem, if you phrase it like this: "There is something that is going to kill you in 20 years if you don't change your habits today".

Most people wait until they have a significant event (heart attack, they can't get up the stairs without being out of breath, etc) until they change.

I always figured it would take some sort of big event for people to change, and then when that happened, we would start working on retroactive fixes ( like sucking co2 out of the air ), rather than preventative fixes.

Let's say the thermodynamics are wrong. At some level, it doesn't matter by how much.

I think of this like a battery. Use wind power or tides even solar to create this gas. Then you have easy to transport energy that is carbon neutral as you've added no new CO2 to the air. That is the excitement, not the cost per unit of energy.
That distinction is actually not the point. The point is that legal and high-skilled immigrants want to come to America because of America's multiculturalism.

If you start kicking out all the people who are brown or muslim or otherwise different, you hurt the society and make it harder for the legal high-skilled immigrants to live here.

(Not to mention that for three decades American politicians and corporations encouraged immigrants to come here and work without status. And that Irish and Italian immigrants came here 100 years ago before there was any immigration law; if today's republicans existed in 1900-1930, they would have demonized Irish and Italians for votes too.)
hypothetically, if you burn 2 tons of oil and you get out of the atmosphere 1 ton of oil equivalent to burn, then if your emission-free energy cost is 1/2 the price of oil, you break even on cost, and reach carbon neutral, no?

Alternatively, if your emission-free energy cost is same as oil, you tax oil-based energy 100% and now you reach carbon-neutral?

I don't see why it has to be 4x cheaper, clarification would be helpful.
I don't think they're mad, per se. They just want to get votes for their party, and xenophobia works. It divides the country, and amplifies hate, but it gets votes for their party.
> This strongly suggests to me that environmental regulation is not the limiting factor.

Why does it suggest that?

China has only been seriously trying to cut back on coal for ~10 years.

All it shows is that coal is cheaper than nuclear and that to a rapidly industrializing country cheap is more important than environmentally friendly.

On the other hand the US is shutting down plants and decreasing overall capacity.
I'd prevent them from using the AutoPilot term, penalise them for marketing imagery that includes people driving with their hands off the wheel, and require hands to be on the wheel far more often.

I use .NET for everything. It doesn't feel like work to me -- the language has some pretty nice features in C# 7. Paired with the .NET Core CLI and I basically feel like I'm using TypeScript with Node.js, but .NET Core is arguably easier. But to me the bulk of the fun comes from seeing the project come together (ie. the results), vs. the actual process of coding.

The problem is that we often think of a company as a single abstract decision-maker.

It isn’t, of course. It’s made up of managers who want to look like they’re doing something big so that they gain status and get a pay raise (“I led the company’s first blockchain initiative!”). It’s made up of employees who want to cover their own asses by recommending that a brand-name consultancy be added to their project. And so on.

Each individual in a corporation acts in accordance with her or his own incentives, which may or may not be well aligned with those of the company’s shareholders.

GDPR is pro big business. For example, Google, Facebook have not changed their tracking activities at all. OTOH, many small businesses had to stop tracking people and gather less data.
[Disclaimer: that happened in France, not sure it applies in all countries] A friend of mine is a freelance worker, getting paid in public grants for doing 100% OSS dev for medical software. He has a skill that I have not: he spends 50% of his time filling forms, making proposals and hunting grants that often fail. The ones that succeed, however, pay him several months of time.

There are public funds out there, in France and in EU, at least. Getting them require a bit of networking (you usually need to be back up by a partner either a lab, a company or an institution) a lot of paperwork but it allows to get financed in a way that charity or donations will have a hard time achieving.

That is likely a fantasy. The NSA is a military organization. And the US is always at war. So there's no expectation that the NSA will respect US law. At best, it will pretend to do so.

> 10 managers with zero tech experience pushing 3 developers

Daydreaming here a bit, but suppose the 3 developers banded together, went to the top decision maker in the company, and proposed that they fire 8 or 9 of the managers, keeping the best 1 or 2, and that the developers' salaries be immediately doubled going forward. It could be stated or left unstated that the developers are willing to quit (which is still better than being eventually fired if the project fails, or becoming burnt out). If the project is truly important, and the situation really is 10 non-technical managers pushing 3 developers, why not try something audacious?
Is that all? 250M/year is still peanuts for a company like Google.
Sorry didn't read download option :/
Yeah, ridiculous. How could we live without them? They are the basis of a decent society, unlike scientific research.
I'm sorry but that assertion is a farce in itself in my opinion. I enrolled in the best University in my country for Civil Engineering and dropped after my second semester. I did the same for Computer Engineering and International Business. I made a boatload of money selling final projects (I know...) for people from year one to year five. It's pretty easy to go through the motions and get those three to five years done if the paper motivates you.

My experience (YMMV) is that all these "Engineers" go out into the world as rookies anyways. I've dealt with rookie Civil Engineers that couldn't understand the blueprints for a two story house and "Computer Engineers" that couldn't code their way out of a React Todo List.

Experience trumps all if you ask me and if we really want to regulate the "Title" then it should be based on experience and achievements vs a paper that says you went to X or Y.

I might be biased because I decided to drop out and go build experience, but I've hired from both sides and I've come to the conclusion that raw talent and experience dictate how much of an "Engineer" you really are.

I believe that much of the world is completely unaware of the devastation wrought by the firebombing campaigns.

To quote Wikipedia: "On the night of 9–10 March 1945, Operation Meetinghouse was conducted and is regarded as the single most destructive bombing raid in human history. 16 square miles (41 km2) of central Tokyo were annihilated, over 1 million were made homeless with an estimated 100,000 civilian deaths."

My workplace just went through that very thing. We had a company-wide review of employees attitudes, remuneration, equipment, the works. They released a letter telling us they were going to begin a few months later, starting with pay raises and equipment upgrades - and then did nothing. It's a year on from the initial review, and I guess they managed to complete their goal: stave off the riots for a while by letting the minions feel heard.
collusion to keep salaries down may not be evil in the super-villain sense, but it's hard to see as ethical.

I prefer C# for the back-end and using a dynamic language (inc. TypeScript) for building UI's, which I find is a highly productive combo which has gotten a lot nicer with .NET Core where it's now a nice dev experience using any IDE/text-editor on any platform to build apps that runs flawlessly on Linux/Docker/etc.

I don't think what I'm saying depends on corporate personhood. My point is, if you claim that corporations have a responsibility to contribute back to the military, you are claiming that someone at the company should do that.

>It's high time these companies are regulated and their malfeasance reined in by the United States.

That, at least to me, reads as though you think that the US should regulate these companies in ways that require them to give back to the military. Which again, which employees should do that? How can you compel a company without, at some level, compelling the individuals within the company? Which you've at least claimed you don't want to do?
Firstly, I'm disappointed in HN for the downvotes on this. It's a fair question even if it doesn't agree with your dreams of going to Mars. I feel the downvoters are no reflective of the intellectually curious that made this forum so popular.A mindlessly offensive comment or joke, I'm with the downvote brigade, but this is a different POV only. Shame.

...back to the question.

At the risk of annoying people with more Elon, he said it well with "“I think there is a strong humanitarian argument for making life multi-planetary, in order to safeguard the existence of humanity in the event that something catastrophic were to happen"

So for survivability alone, this is a good move for humans. Kind of like putting your investments in several categories to reduce risk. We have weapons capable of destroying the earth + what nature can do, it makes sense to have safety systems for humanity's existence not earth based.

Also historically with great exploration into the unknown there is an aspect of 'we dont know what the benefit is' but history has taught us there is usually a benefit in finding out, whether that be knowledge gained in the process or what we find at the journey's end. We'd all still be in some part of Africa (more likely extinct really) if people had not wondered what was over the next hill or ocean. We can debate maybe that hasn't been a good thing for the world or some societies, but it has been for the population and knowledge curve of humans.

And your comment 'I think it is clear that Mars is not suitable for mass migration.' Really? Why is that? Id debate this will be like people heading to my home of Australia some 200+ years ago. The first settlers had a hell of a time, many died or eked out limited quality of life. But over time humans have the habit of building on the previous generations progress. So today there is not a great place for mass migration on Mars. But I have no reason to believe we can't change that in 50 or 100 years.
Remembering the 150 names of the memebers of my fraternity, along with their hometown, big brothers name, major and several facts about them took me nearly 8 weeks to completely. And to be candid I still didn’t know about 50 of them. It’s difficult memorizing those things and I was actively engaging with them on a daily basis and putting work towards memorizing their names. I could imagine it would be a stretch to remember that many names, many of whom you will never talk to in your life along with possibly their home state and party affiliation. Especially since they mentioned the number of congressmen/women is constantly changing.

Part of the overall problem is that these roads were not designed for autonomous driving. This is much like the old paver roads were fine for horses, but really bumpy/distractive to car wheels and suspensions.

Overtime, we adapted roads to new tech. This needs to start happening now too.

> In an internal memo, a senior aide explained to one of the state’s fleet managers in June that while the Tesla’s performance was superior to other EVs in the market, it was nonetheless “ill suited” for official business given the distances Remmel needed to cover in North Rhein-Westphalia.

> Not only was the certified European range of 500 kilometers (311 miles) impossible to achieve, even 400 km could not be realized with a fully charged battery, the aide said. That meant in practice the environment minister could travel only as far as 150 km before being forced to turn back — otherwise “the style of driving has to be adjusted to an extreme degree to the charge status of the battery.”

I take it that in the USA, pregnancy discrimination isn't illegal, or at least isn't for the father?

Terrible move from the company either way. Firing people is expensive, first you lose a whole lot of institutional knowledge, then hiring a person is expensive (especially if you use a recruiter), then you have to train a new person up, which takes about 3 months to get them up to speed.

The sensible option is to discuss options, such as working reduced hours (e.g. only afternoons) for a time. Of course, in many developed countries (the USA excluded), paid parental leave is legally guaranteed or even mandatory.
