What It Takes to Become and Remain an Adaptive Agile Leader
The article says this

"VCs ranked top 3 criteria they thought the founders evaluated them on."

Then the supporting chart is labelled "most important factors for partnering or making investments"

Which is it? Were VCs asked about what they believe founders value, or what they find important in making investment decisions?

Because the article points out track record is rated low. Which makes sense for the former but makes zero sense for latter, so I'm guessing chart was just mislabelled.
LIDAR may be more expensive, but it has one huge advantage: it can identify stationary objects in 3D space.

For a visual processing system to accomplish the same task, it must first: identify objects in a frame. Identify objects in the next frame. Identify objects in the images taken from the other cameras. Compare the objects, taking into account positional differences arising from the speed of the vehicle, and triangulate their positions relative to the vehicle.

This is certainly doable (Microsoft Photosynth has been around for at least a decade), but each one of these tasks, and especially the last task, requires more processing power than Tesla has put into its vehicles.
Just request the meaning of the word itself. Don't load the question with trendy concepts.

Q. What does idempotence mean?

A. Validating a sequences of events in a stateless fashion.

As an addendum, a follow-up question might add concrete context to the idea being tested. But context is a bottomless pit, where the default answer "it depends" lurks. That makes this a bad question.
You are offering up your lived experience as wisdom without any rationale as to why I should accept your conclusions over my own. Just an endless cavalcade of "you are a beginner and you lack experience." As such it's falling on deaf ears.

Ridiculously absent is the lack of mention of the fork.

Europe got the fork about a millennium ago, and children now use forks to spatula unchewed and underchewed food down their gullet, leaving the lower jaw to atrophy. Nobody notices because everybody grows up this way.

Not that complicated a concept, but a ridiculously difficult social norm to overcome, even if you want to do better by your own kids. By picking my battles, I guess I'll just start saving for the orthodontist and oral surgeon (wisdom teeth!) now.
The reason to have a 2D graphics library as part of the C++ Standard is to allow one to write a C++ program that does graphics such that it has only one dependency: an implementation of the C++ Standard. It won't be for everyone and certainly won't affect the ability to use any other graphics library. This is a good thing, IMHO. Same for more complete access to the file system, something that has also been missing from C++.
How is it "clipping the wings of the federal government" if a federal agency decides itself to stop making rules about something? It can unfold it wings again at any time.

This is a short term loss for Intel, but could end up being a long term win as an attack on AMD. Making this announcement forced AMD to advance their plans for the
32-core, possibly faster than they really wanted to right now. That depletes their product pipeline faster, making it more difficult to keep pace with future advances.

Edit: initial reports said that AMD was only planning to announce the 24-core CPU, and may have advanced the announcement of the 32-core chip due to Intel’a stunt. TFA doesn’t mention that, so possibly the initial reports were not accurate.

This is all very useful information for me, thank you. Would you be willing to send me an email so I can ask you further questions? I'm in the process of reaching out to other climate scientists as well.
Saying a curtailment of federal authority is necessarily a good thing makes you sound like an ideologue.

Government isn't intrinsically good or bad, and there is no ideal amount of it. Case by case we should decide when the public's interests are served by having a voice in a marketplace besides the money we spend.
No. LIDAR has its place, but it certainly a tech that has seen its day. Integrated sensor arrays consisting of multiple cameras and image processors can build more accurate situational awareness pictures faster. And to imply that Tesla's automation assist is not working is ridiculous.
I belive cell companies where either entirely, or partly exempt from net neutrality.

When a cat had a litter of babies on our farm we took her in since it was a cold winter and otherwise they probably wouldn't have made it. She had six kittens and we left her alone with them since new mommy cats don't like to be bothered much during early nursing.

Fast forward a bit right after the little ones started crawling around more and she was getting up to move around, letting them out of her sight etc. One of the kittens crawled into a basket and we picked it up and walked into another room to see if she would notice the missing kitten. She came back and checked around and determined she only had 5 babies and was missing one. We felt terrible and quickly returned the kitten but it was clear she could count or something very similar to counting.
Have you use uMatrix? By default it does allow first-party Javascript, but I have that disabled. If I got to a website that needs Javascript, I click on uMatrix and enable just the scripts I want. It shows me all the ad and tracking domains as well. I get to see where code is coming from before I allow it to execute.

It does take a little bit longer to setup. You might have to refresh a page 2 or 3 times to get the right rules, but it keeps a lot of excessive Javascript from running in the background. If I disable first-party by default, it also prevents modals, cookie warnings, pay walls and all that other garbage. It reduces my browsers memory footprint and CPU usage as well.

I should have installed uMatrix years ago.

They actually can't. They just harmlessly bounce off things when they hit them due to their small size and low speed.
I’d like to add “milk” to that list. Some ground nuts or seeds emulsified in some liquid should not be called milk. Milk, in a food context, should refer to the substance produced by females of various mammalian species only.

The Cost of Fear in Organisational Change
As a user of Common Lisp that is lately learning Ruby, i am amazed at how weak the type system is and how many stuff that would immediately cause a compiler error in Lisp (like asking values from class members that don't exist) simply pass silently with no error (not even at runtime) in Ruby.

Since every call is a method, and a method belongs to an object, the type of this object is significant. Base Ruby language gives you no way to declare that object X shall be of class C.

So, well, there are dynamic languages and there are dynamic languages.

> "American" is used as the demonym pretty much everywhere in the world other than Central America and South America.

Solely by misappropriation. America was world-wide known as a continent before England sent their colonizers. Somehow migrating to America was misappropriated as meaning "migrating to the English colonies in America". Somehow the United States of America became the only America.

I have the theory that if their name had been less generic, say United States of New England, The word America would have retained its original meaning.
We do it in the West as well, it's just a formalized structure in Japan (and possibly other East Asian countries, but I can only speak from experience with Japan).

This is a deceptive use of statistics because it's papering over all the nuance involved. Not all road miles are equivalent. Specifically, Tesla Autopilot only functions (or is meant to function) in a very narrow subset of all conceivable driving conditions. Many of the situations that Tesla Autopilot isn't meant for are the most dangerous conditions that unassisted humans drive in.

Furthermore the statistic doesn't break out the role of "Autopilot" features from the role of other safety features present in Tesla cars but not present in many other cars. More effective airbags, crumple zones, emergency braking(?) could all be lowering the fatality rate in Tesla cars enough to mask the "Tesla Autopilot" making driving more dangerous than if it weren't present.

Tesla fatality rates should be compared against equivalent class cars when driven by humans under the conditions which Tesla Autopilot are meant for.
Also our creations lack a self-healing exoskeleton.
In April 2017 elon was planning to have 20 or 10k of model 3's per week by now. That was not the case as we all know. Maybe we should be receptive to the change of priorities that occur when a massive problem such as that one happen. The fate of Tesla as a company is very much ingrained on model 3 production, and just saying that this demonstration has had a massive delay in a vacuum, without the context of the situation is disingenuous. Also I would like to just put forth the question of who here drives everyday. The human body does not, as far as i'm aware, have a volumetric sensor such as lidar. I'm not saying that the use or not of the information isn't important, but we certainly can do it just fine. It's shortsighted that we're dictating the tools we should use to solve a problem before the fact. I shudder to think of the day where I reject an implementation of a system based on the tools used, and not actual performance. To say an approach is wrong because it doesn't use geometric analysis is short sighted, that Classifiers aren't that good is shortsighted.
> a weird side-effect of living on the west coast is cities in movies start to look fake: where is all the feces and shattered glass and tent cities?

FTFY, the third-world style shantytowns and tent cities, along with the accompanying feces and detritus, are prolific in every major west coast city including SF, LA, Seattle, Portland, and many of the smaller hubs too. There is a full blown homeless crisis that is completely ignored by nearly everyone.
I'd love to get one of these to play with.
Long time HN guy. I agree. But the post title generated it.
No, one should imagine exactly that as open landfills are set a blaze to burn trash from all over Europe and in fact the world.

Unless this looks like a power plant to you: https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iZWE1fyTym4...

This has been going on in 100's of landfills in Poland and in other parts of Europe for years now, this year its exceptionally bad for many reasons.
This is institutionalized intentional practice that is been swept under the rug for far too long.

That is for everything required to run an entire operating system. You're actually putting Node's micro-package madness into even more of a negative light from this comparison -- if it takes only several hundred packages to run an entire distribution, why is it reasonable to require that many packages to run a single web application (not to mention that most distribution packages don't depend on hundreds of others)?

The difference is that the only people looking into NPM packages are the Node community. The entire Linux community -- which includes a large portion of the Node community mind you -- looks into the set of packages you are looking at (yes, we've had a bad rap in recent years -- but in our defence we really are trying).

I'm a little biased with regards to distributions (I work for SUSE), but I like to think that working on a distribution has given me a much better understanding of how much work goes into those packages. I don't think you could adequately replicate most of that engineering in the time that most micro-package ecosystems have been around.

I disagree completely. People are far easier to convince or manipulate if you know just a few things about them. For someone trained in appealing to people/making arguments, it'd be all about dropping in the right words and making the right suggestions.

Isn't that what we all do with advertising? It's why (some of) it works so well on Facebook. Everyone has access to the same targeting, some people understand better than others how to make their ads work.

The same way non-billionaires do: there isn’t anything that money can do about it. While ‘only’ worth $150m, Katherine Brosnahan (you may know as Kate Spade) tragically hanged herself last week after suffering for a few years. If $150m can’t buy you out of it, I’m not sure another $850m would.

Doesn't really matters if it's self-inflicted. The result is the same: the fed have removed a regulation at the federal level. The state are now free to choose what they do. States who make the "wrong" choice will get get punished economically. Free market. Nothing bad about it.
Tesla's Autopilot miles are highway miles, but Tesla is comparing those miles to fatalities across all types of roads--freeways, highways, normal streets, dirt roads, etc. On the safest type of road (i.e., freeways, which have the fewest obstacles or impediments to driving), Tesla is no better than the national average over all types of roads.

And that's horrific. It means that Tesla isn't saving lives, it's causing more people to die than would have died if they hadn't been using Autopilot. Worse, as Tesla's many competitors have demonstrated, is that self-driving cars can be safer than human-drven cars. Just not the way Tesla does it.
He's not wrong, he's just an asshole.
This could be an oversimplification, but my perspective having lived in both NYC and Chicago:

New York is dirty. It's very dense for the US and the trash collection is on the sidewalk in front of businesses, meaning you are walking around trash on a daily basis.

Chicago is one of the cleanest cities in the US, largely because of the alley system built after the Great Chicago Fire.
Dune's CHOAM corporation is a great example. Ownership in choam is synonyms with power and wealth. All political maneuvering is based on gaining or keeping control in choam corporation.

I guess the reason we don't rely on road marks so much is that they're covered by snow & ice half the year. That plus frost heaving & constant snow plowing & studded tyres are very effective at erasing the road markings.

I wish Mexico City's Mobike[1] had someone running around at night finding bikes - I swear, every day there are less and less on the streets. I've given up even bothering to look for any near me and have gone back to walking to the nearest ecobici stand or calling an uber.

[1] https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mexico-crime-mobike/bike-...

"Mobike, which recently changed hands for $2.7 billion, equips its bicycles with an electronic alarm that alerts the company when one of them leaves its operating zone."

Yeah that doesn't work - I always rode one to neighbouring areas without even thinking about it, and there is no disincentive. Reporting a bike that says it's on the street, but is actually in someone's yard behind a fence, takes 3 days to get a response in the hope that the bad actor gets their account revoked.
