Tests by definition can be failed. If you couldn't fail, then what's the point?

You can pass all the prerequisites, but none of that guarantees that it doesn't fail at the real world testing phase.

All that said, in this specific case, Uber absolutely hadn't passed all the prerequisites and shouldn't have been given any permission to be on real streets.
Come on. Yet another political/social piece.
The card is a lot harder to get than taking a few classes.
But the very behavior you're talking about... didn't make Smyte not sell. So even they didn't care.

Why would anyone else?
Thanks for the quote! However I think it's more about Coke being a consumable and arguably a commodity... and not entertainment. I'm pretty sure there will always be people priced out of premium entertainment experiences precisely because you cannot bottle it up.
Hahaha I see what you do :))

The crosswalk is made for vehicles? How is anyone ever to cross the street? Why shouldn't the person operating the dangerous machine requiring a license be subject to greater responsibility, for that matter?
I recently took up martial arts, and after sparring a few times, I've learned that you do not need to be armed to be a threat. If somebody drives an elbow to the back of your head with force, you're going to the hospital. If somebody manages to get you in a clinch, you are likely going to pass out. If somebody manages to get you on the ground while they're standing - you better really hope they're content to walk away at that point because they can permanently mess you up for the rest of your life.

Any case of self defense needs to be evaluated by a court. I'm not suggesting police should get a free pass, but that somebody is unarmed does not mean they are not a lethal threat.
What's that word about design elements, how wood should be wood?
I remember HN used to talk about it a lot, sku-something or skeo-something, but it's a rule in design that wooden objects should be wooden or something like that. I used to see this word thrown around in every UX thread but I can't remember what the damn word is. I've tried googling but I'm not having much luck.

I remember this word bring used a lot right before Material came into public view.

If any body knows what I'm talking about, please help me find this word.

The reasons why Patreon banned them are very murky and unclean; they never said exactly why. Saying exactly why gives the opponent a way to argue; being unclear doesn't. Something about "manifest observable behavior", which in short is "whatever we do not like", without explicitly defining what it exactly is.

AFAIK, the people who were banned were Canadians.

It's not that Youtube is any better; they are also banning and demonetizing people without being able to point out objective specifics.

Edit: the brigade is here.
Our drone warfare already has exceptional ability to classify militants vs. humans and we has massive collateral damage anyways: Our government would rather get the target even if it means civilian casualties.

If you were to build AI technology to do this, you want it to be as incompetent as possible, so the military doesn't use it.
Quite easily, we managed it with no hassle whatsoever, just takes some thought
Great feedback man! Do you have any examples that we can check so we can add some better tables/data structures?

Well, Google is forcing it on ChromeOS users though.
Good points and well put.

The people/environment around the person going through the trauma makes a big difference to outcomes imho. And usually it "takes a village". Because though most people who care will want to help, they each bring different strengths and weaknesses to the table.
It's a magic combo of the different strengths that make a diff. And realising that and raising group consiouness about it I agree is badly needed these days.
Oh and don't use shitty systems that don't allow the automation across your stack
Well, what you're calling "passing the prerequisites" is no different than "being ready." It's the same as medicine testing; they don't go straight to giving the drug to patients.
I'm not convinced of your premise, spam is adversarial & spam detection is just pattern recognition. Twitter likely doesn't want to allow people to be able to test against their spam shields by spamming other people
I am only vaguely familiar with these groups, but it seems they exist to bring influential political and business people together to discuss current issues. This doesn't seem so bad, so why whenever they're brought up is it always suggested it should be shameful?
I have been using buxfer.com so far. What I really like about it is that I need to manually enter only cash transactions. I can link my bank accounts and it will automatically record all credit card & bank transactions - I only need to categorize them. However of late they have been unresponsive to support requests. I wonder if there is even anyone working on the product.
> But lots of animals commit suicide. You don't need to talk about lemmings.

We have to talk about lemmings when we are talking about conscious human-like suicide because lemmings are the only animals that purportedly had conscious intentional suicides like human being. After all, the philosophical debate was "the difference between humans and animals". I actually brought up honey bees committing suicide ( once they sting, they die ). But the professor rejected it ( rightly so ) because it wasn't conscious and intentional suicide. For example, a parent storming a burning building to save their child and dying in the process isn't suicide in the human sense. A female octopus giving birth and dying isn't suicide.

http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2014/07/30/octopus-c...

A soldier going to war and dying isn't suicide. A mother bison trying to save her calf from predators and dying in the process isn't suicide. There is a difference between sacrifice and intentional conscious suicide where no one benefits.

> And your discussion sounds with your professor sounds really stupid

It wasn't. It was one of my favorite classes in college and hence why I decided to double major in philosophy. It was the first time I can say I really thought about something. If the class was "really stupid" it wouldn't have left such an indelible mark on me.

> he literally claimed to be the ultimate authority on lemmings?

Yes. He believed it was a fact just like the earth was a sphere is a fact. And ultimately, he is the one grading the term paper and he is the ultimate authority. Do you really expect a professor to back down on things he believe to be facts?

> An academic with a chair said that?

Yes. What's so surprising about that? Do you know what an academic with a chair is? An expert. Someone with authority.

> Sounds so unlikely I'm not sure I believe you.

Are you an "associate professor" by any chance? What is so unbelievable about it? Why are you so defensive?

I always thought my border collie sometimes seemed stressed and panted after she investigated the clumps of hair that would sometimes fall out when being pet or groomed. I remember it happening after saying to her "it's you!" Haha :-(. Poor dog thought she was falling apart. I remember telling her "it's okay" and she licked the air in my direction. Some part of me thought I was nuts for thinking she understood or anthropomorphizing her. But as the years went on we realized she knew what was up more often than we could imagine, so many instances of her reacting to spoken words or the world in ways we never thought her capable of.
It's a great surprise to realize you've been shooting HEIFs for months and then can't open them on your MBP because you're "only" on El Capitan.
Militaries, police, and other government security organs have benefits, but they also have downsides. It's not purely up to them which is which. Tools are not neutral, and tool-makers even less so.

The general reputation of private sector weapons makers used to be very low. They were "merchants of death." This comment assumes their legitimacy.
I think its a well thought out design language, but anyone who thinks its anything but Google branding is deceiving themselves. I couldn't imagine using it for anything other than a proof of concept or internal tool.

Schneier warns of perfect storm Tech is becoming autonomous security is garbage
I might be wrong, but I'm getting the sense that you don't have much actual experience.

I've been a senior developer in an organization and known that a solution isn't perfectly robust. Clearly I want to fix it because I (like most other developers) like building robust solutions, but I have six weeks of tasks to finish in two weeks, and that isn't one of them. What do I do?

You might say "do it anyways" and, if so, that's a junior developer attitude. I'd strongly urge you not to do that as shipping big projects is really more about choreography than engineering.

Or, you might say "fight for permission" and that's not a bad idea, as long as you accept that you'll likely lose.

You'll likely lose for business reasons. On some level, we all know that a SAAS on a critical path is a bad idea, but we do math. Our SLAs are not 100%, but we can accept a few hours of downtime a year. And, the probability of a service you've seemingly vetted being acquired and shutting down this quickly is low. Is the probability of a shut down like this high enough to justify adding and testing redundancy?

The math usually works out in favour of bug fixes and new features > redundancy.
I'm interested in using the same cuts of meat from different grades of beef. The higher degree of marbling in higher-end beef will make it difficult to get the same amount of fat.

Certainly not me. But a lot of people find traveling to unfamiliar places, with unfamiliar languages, etc. to be stressful rather than interesting/exciting.

ADDED: You could say pretty much the same thing about many cruises, Club Med, etc. Many people like to get out of their day to day routine while still enjoying a pretty predictable and controlled environment.
But in this case we don't have to wonder about the circumstances; we know where the car and the pedestrian were and exactly what happened. Thus going into the toxicology report serves no real purpose other than unfairly casting aspersions on the person killed.
Although LuaJIT is crazy fast, it can't be used on iOS, so we first need to compare this with the unJITted version of Lua.

Lua is pretty simple and elegant, but has its woes on being too flexible and wonky (especially with nil and global variables). It also doesn't support OOP syntax directly, so everyone started to create their own wonky class system, which broke easily because of Lua's wonkiness. Gravity seems like a good embedding language packaging a nice OOP syntax with a lot of syntactic sugar (such as properties and access specifiers), so I think some UI/game developers would choose this over Lua.
Two Vortex Rings Colliding in Slow Motion
Yes, I should have been more clear that what I meant was that this is one possible alternative explanation that hasn't been ruled out by the experiments done, not that this is the only possibility. I had said "could have been consciously or subconsciously prompting her" and should have also said "could have been using their own theories of mind and inference ability to read more into Koko's actions than what is really there."

I was just trying to list one more possible explanation that the experiments hadn't ruled out, not cover everything, but you're right, those are each also possibilities.
This is more difficult than is sounds. Herpesviruses are quiescent (latent) for much of their lives and exist only as DNA, with no virions being produced. There are different latency "programs"--during some of these, there may be a handful of virus genes produced, and some there are no genes produced. Circumstances may cause these virus genomes to reactivate--transcribing genes and making virions.

Maybe confusingly, herpesviruses may still contribute to the biology of the cell even in the latent state.

DNA/RNA sequencing is also more sensitive in some ways (which can be both good and bad). It is also a very broad tool. You can go back to large datasets and try to squeeze more information out--even things you werent looking for originally, like herpesviruses. NCBI also hosts a very large repository of raw sequence data (SRA--the sequence read archive). Much of this data has decent metadata, so you could conceivably even do a new study on somebody else's old data.
Fake Fortnite Android apps spread across internet
It's been a while since I've done much Android development, but from what I can recall, Android Studio/Gradle seem to be a major improvement over Eclipse/Ant(?).
While I understand the joke this isn't actually true :) A substitution mutation might not have any effect or might just result in switching an aminoacid for a similar one (due to how the genetic code works). On the other hand, a large insertion will likely mess up the gene much more than that.
> You normally ignore your first home in these sort of calculations.

I was under the impression that you subtracted your mortgage from its value when calculating net worth, not just ignore it. It makes a difference in your life decisions -- In my case, I have a home with no mortgage. I could sell it to move to a cheaper area and end up with enough cash out of the move to fund a new business. It would be a high risk move, but the option is not nullified just because I currently live in that home.

Interesting. How did you come to the conclusion that you can tell the difference just by smell? Can you do that after it's been cooked? It's easy to see certain differences in uncooked, whole cuts of beef, but I'm impressed that you can smell the difference.
> I also find the ripple effect[1] when pressing things to be infuriating. Just do the action I've asked, don't do this animation and delay the action by half a second. Again, this is somewhat irrational, but it still bothers me.

It is not irrational to want your device and the software you use on it to be as high-performance as possible. In my opinion, unless we're talking about a game, software should always avoid wasting the user's time, no matter how briefly. Of course, if an animation is playing while something else is happening, that is acceptable. But in many cases, applications wait for the animations to complete (because it's "only" 300 milliseconds) before proceeding with the requested action. Disrespecting the user's time is disrespecting the user, full stop.

Since Android 5, Java is quite native on Android.

Valve Reveals Latest Knuckles Controller Dev Kit and New 'Moondust' Tech Demo
You bring up so three points that I think about quite a lot. First point, I often wonder what impact the curated upbringing I am giving my daugther will have on her future outlook on life. I know I can't possibly know and she will ber her own person but I am a parent and I do wonder. Doing what you love was an alien concept to me and my peers. It was a case of doing what needed to be done. Fullstop. I ended up doing Computer Science because that is what was available. I probably would have prefered civil engineering but I had to make do with what I got (no I am not complaining). I don't know how to be the parent/person that says do what you love. I always have done what needed to be done.

On definition of success and adding another zero to your income. I don't hold an idealist view of village people. Having grown up with them I see them as normal people. You get happy village people you get vindictive villagers and your get carefree villagers. Having said that I have to conceed that village people seem to be less stressed than city people. They own less whether it is clothes, cars, bicycles ... and they worry less. I often look at how much we have in the cities compared to the villagers and intrigued by how much we have is still not enough. I guess we measure ourselves againsts our city neighbours and our "needs" grow with time. It seems the more we have the more we want and the more taxes we pay. I always make it point to visit the village once a year. Sit around, do nothing, with no urgency. It gives one more perspective on life.

The final point you touch on is how we may have started our journeys in different places and positions but we end up in similar positions (yes I know surviorship bias comes in here). Some of my colleagues come from gang ridden townships, some had a silver spoon and went to the best schools. You would never be able to tell listening to our conversations. We all discussing the Soccer World Cup, our kids coming birthday parties, corrupt politians, our bosses and the rising taxes. We all just people.
I actually ripped out Smyte's Android SDK because of how bad it was and replaced it with my own implementation against their API which has a hard limit on retries. But I imagine that other customers were using their SDK and still have live apps out there using it... not good :/
>the average citizen of Babylon would have had to work a total of 41 hours to buy enough lamp oil to equal a 75-watt light bulb burning for one hour. At the time of the American Revolution, a colonial would have been able to purchase the same amount of light, in the form of candles, for about five hour’s worth of work

I also export important bookmarks from my browser and add it to the on-boarding documentation. Links to dev/qa/prod app URLs, AWS account console pages, wiki pages, JIRA links, git repos, timesheet app, organization chart, IT support page, slack channel, project home page, etc.. just anything that a newbie to the team would need often.

Strangely, onboarding documentation does not exist in many places. I ended up creating new on-boarding doc for at least 4,5 consulting engagements and the managers appreciate that a lot.

> Uber disabled Uber's own emergency braking system (not just the built-in Volvo one) “to reduce potential for erratic behavior.”[1]

I thought the emergency system was only disabled for the computer so that it doesn't accidentally activate it. I think the driver was still able to activate the emergency system.
I live there, that road is well-lit. The Uber video is misleading.
Ask HN: You need a chair. The meeting next door has one. What do you do?
Maybe this is a stupid question, but I've heard wildly conflicting answers to this from different people, and I think I'm starting to see a trend...

Scenario: You're at a work meeting, and your meeting room is one chair short. There's another meeting happening next door - specifically, a candidate is being interviewed for a job. The meeting room next door has plenty of available chairs. What do you do?
Same in UK - you pay a % of your salary above a certain level, so the more you earn the more you pay. But you are always covered for absolutely everything without co-pays, limits etc etc no matter whether you earn zero(and pay nothing towards it) or are a millionaire. Using it also doesn't affect how much you pay, it's just a flat % of your salary regardless of whether you are healthy or chronically ill.
That's always been the type of music I've put on while I work, but a week or two ago I shuffled the entire Judas Priest catalog on Google Music. I've never been a fan of Judas Priest, I don't particularly like to listen to their music, but it's been great for me to work to. Ambient noises and quiet conversations are masked, the tempo is fast, and the dynamic range isn't huge.
Plus their economy is about 1/15th of the US's and seems to be declining.
I dunno, looks slick but I do wonder how much of this is actually useful for building an admin interface.

> If anything one of the major design points was to solve the surprises inherent to C/C++.

Sure, but you're speaking past each other.

* Java was designed to be more predictable and have fewer dark corners than C++ (no undefined behaviour, precisely defined primitives and generally far less platform-specific behaviour, etc)

* Java was designed to feel familiar to C++ developers in order to aid adoption (specifically its syntax)

These aren't in contradiction.
