Ask HN: What makes a good autonomous vehicles engineer?
There are a lot of aspects behind the science of autonomous vehicles such Computer vision, perception, motion planning, and control, .. etc. However, making it to this industry is still not clear to many of engineers. I have some papers such `End to End Learning for Self-Driving Cars` https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.07316.pdf, but I hope that one of the autonomous vehicles engineers chime in and describe what it takes to enter this industry. What are the skills needed to be hired. Is Drivelss cars Nano-degree helpful ?
And I bet your kids don't exhibit signs of ADD, people probably wonder what magical app you found that makes your kids well behaved while theirs drinks 2 gallons of juice a day and are climbing the walls
I'd say accounting for hunger is also important since few people are going to be able to stick to a diet where they're hungry all the time.
Someone who is self-driven.
Yes, I roll my own.

I'm unique hybrid as I have a MBA (finance) before the great depression and because of the great depression I couldn't find a job. So I taught myself how to code (~2010) and have been working in code ever since, while still doing some algorithmic trading on the side.

I build custom trading systems on the side. Interactive Brokers is the only firm that I have found that has a good API. TD ameritrade seems to be starting in that direction. As for Trader9, well best of luck. For a little self promotion...

Sadly, this text seems to be only available in German, but for those, who speak it, it may be a well interesting read:

It shows his background to old Nazis and how they played a role in his political upbringing. Googling for some of the names is also interesting, something, that the German mainstream media never really brought into the public discussion.
Calories-in-Calories-out is a straight-up fact. The thing 'scientists' don't like about it is that even if you lose the same amount of weight, where you got your calories from will impact your health differently depending on whether it's a chocolate bar or an apple. Nevertheless, Calories-in-Calories-out is a true model.
Seems like a drastic way to say like that juice is not as healthy as eating fruit, and is not a substitute for solid fruit. Also that it has a lot of sugar.

When you see this headline, you’d think they might be including fresh squeeze juice from a variety of fruits and vegetables. They seem to only be talking about things like Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid and Walmart apple juice that the average American feeds their children. I thought they might be talking about juice bars. It makes me wonder, have the authors ever heard about the gigantic national trend of drinking fresh juice? Because they don’t seem to be referring to it at all.

I don’t know why they don’t suggest that you could give your kids less sugary juice, fresh squeeze juice, orange juice from things other than oranges, grapes or apples. One thing they don’t seem to realize is that many parents give their kids HFCS soda pop. I could think of many parents who believe the only reason to not give their children mountain dew is the caffeine. It is a little healthier to give them juice. Especially the 100% fruit juice they’re condemning, which is a better grade even than most juice on the shelves.

I would agree that the pasteurized, filtered, old sugary juices sold in plastic bottles in grocery stores are not very healthy. But they contain far fewer enzymes and vitamins and fiber than fresh squeezed juice. Maybe they should recommend that parents buy a juicer, and give their kids diluted juice that also includes vegetables in addition to sweet fruit.

Personally, I have been on a very restricted diet, mainly liquids all year. I don’t have been drinking fresh squeezed juice to solve my caloric deficit, but don’t binge on it or buy store juice because it’s clear to me that the main component is sugar and I don’t want to tempt type 2 diabetes. I’d much rather eat the whole fruits and vegetables if I could, but in the meantime, it’s hard to believe that the juice of 5 apples, a bunch of chard, a beet, 2 carrots, a stick of ginger and some celery would harm me or children.
Your last note about kids being wired on sugar, while pervasive and seemingly anecdotally supported, has not been proven out in the literature. Sugar has not been conclusively found to cause hyperactivity.
An intelligence agency can already leak stuff to the press while remaining largely anonymous, this doesn't improve their situation nearly as much as an actual whistleblower.
So much this, yes i'm sure people were attempting to scan it up but I guarantee you could show the same for almost every network out there. I understand the fear mongering to a degree but its projecting things in the wrong place and it's almost like crying wolf.
Yeah, when our toddler is given juice, we dilute it with water for her. We’re trying to teach her that plain fruit juice is too sweet when drunk alone.

I typically drink carbonated water with just a little juice, for flavor.
Employers are legally required to check ID. Not sure about landlords or hotels but nearly all of them seem to.
>I can appreciate this style of architecture from an intellectual level

Indeed. There are many things – not only architecture – that are interesting to look at for a bit, maybe on paper, but that I would never want to actually have around me in my life. It seems that some people do not consider this difference. Architecture is particularly troublesome, since others force it upon you. You cannot choose it like you can choose what music to engage with, for example.
> I don't understand why this isn't already a thing. Seems obvious.

Because people don't want yet another mandatory way to be tracked by the government. It is especially opposed by those here illegally, their supporters, and others historically disenfranchised by more and more centralized requirements. Not everyone has driver's licenses or ssn cards. There are non-zero problems so what should be obvious is why some oppose even if you don't.
> brutalist buildings often reflect back the forms used to make them

I like the core concept of brutalism, but I see problems with brutalism in general and in applicability to web design...

The problem I see with brutalism in general is that it doesn't go far enough! removing the veneer and doing away with facades is the first step, the point is to be honest; not to intentionally make things aesthetically displeasing. Once it's honest you can focus on good function and beauty emerging from within.

This principle isn't entirely incompatible with web design, however there is a significant difference that needs to be understood: With web design the aesthetics are not completely separable from the function, because in the most fundamental way - you operate a web page by looking at it.

Because of this, I prefer to focus on minimalism and typography when it comes to creating highly functional, no bullshit web design. In other words, look at how books have been doing it for the past 1000 years, because beyond having to turn a page their basic function is very similar.
It seems like this article assumes fruit juice.

For breakfast I make juice with kale (a bunch), a cucumber, carrots, and an apple. It's a lot healthier than most other American breakfasts.

>many things we take for granted in our daily lives.

The entitlement we live in nowadays vis à vis technology continues to blow my mind, from some condescending attitudes towards free software that forms the building block of a myriad of products to the "disappointment" some consumers express when a new released chip isn't twice as fast as the old iteration. There's a lot going on behind the scene and even by saying so I am underestimating just how much our civilisation has put in effort into the things that we use on a daily basis and pay to attention to.
I'm confused about what is so amazing about this. To be clear, I have Airpods and really love them but how is this different than any of the many "microphone" apps already out there? I have a Pixel 2 so I can confirm there are a million of these apps on the Play Store, is there some reason this app isn't possible on iOS? Is it about lower latency?

That's simply not true about skim milk. It has just as much protein and calcium as whole milk. Maybe you and your siblings would have been even healthier with skim, maybe not, but it's not possible to deduce anything from your experience.

How much sugar is in it?
I am having trouble finding more information on this. Do you mean that the sentence is approved, and then they intentionally wait a random number of days to carry it out? Or that it happens as soon as it’s approved and the defendant is kept in the dark about the process?
Probably referring to articles like this: http://hackeducation.com/2017/07/22/bootcamp-bust
Juice is way easier to preserve. Also, less messy to consume.

If apples or oranges can last a week in a basket, grapes, or peaches, or many other fruit would not. So it's easy to convince yourself that juice is almost like the fruit, or at least lets you feel some of its pleasant taste.

Like many things, it's higher concentration than our bodies are naturally adapted to, so it's easy to over-consume (a pint instead of a half a cup).
So what does this actually do to the sound?

An iPhone doesn't just have a microphone. It has 4 microphones.[1] And it has the ability to do some very sophisticated DSP on the sounds it receives.

So, unless your hearing aids communicate with each other (L and R) in real time, the iPhone might be able to do a better job. That's theory. Does it actually work that way in practice? I don't know.

It would be nice if Apple also did custom EQ like your hearing aids do. It would be pretty easy to add something like that in software, the hardware can certainly do it.

Be wary anytime someone mentions "scientists" in their argument. More than likely OP has no source. Nevertheless, I get his point. Basically, calorie-in/out is still very much used but it doesn't tell the full story. At the end of the day you will gain weight if you eat too many Calories, but eating an apple will make you feel fuller than a chocolate bar, etc. Scientists dont even have a stake in this really it's more like nutritionists, and the jury is out as to whether we can call them scientists.

I recently saw a ginger-flavored carbonated that boasted of the percent juice. I was surprised by the number (30%?), and when I looked at the ingredients I saw that the juice was not mostly ginger. It was grape juice.

I understand that when I see “cranberry cocktail”, there’s a bunch of sweet juice mixed in. I didn’t realize that drinks of other flavors have so much clandestine grape juice — which is basically sugar.

My son goes nuts when he has sugar (like ice cream or a cupcake), full stop.

Has it not been shown in the literature because no one has tried an appropriately rigorous experiment, or because the appropriately rigorous experiment showed a different conclusion?
I don't understand why the need for this new protocol; what's missing from OpenID?
Important to note: The underlying meta analysis included interventional studies and might reflect a real causal link:

"""We included 103 observational and 40 interventional studies investigating ~100 health outcomes."""

Later in the paper the authors say that the interventional studies were mainly about forest bathing in Japan, where the control group did equivalent activities in an urban setting:

"""Within the 143 studies, 40 were interventional and the remainder observational. Out of the 40 interventional studies, 27 were investigating the association between shinrin-yoku and various health outcomes. Shinrin yoku, or “forest bathing” is a popular practice in Japan and neighbouring countries, and is defined as “taking in the atmosphere of the forest” (Park et al., 2010). It is said to have health-promoting properties and to reduce stress (Park et al., 2010). Participants of shinrin-yoku spend time in the forest either sitting or lying down, or walking through the forest. In studies investigating forest bathing, a control group carried out the same activity in an urban environment. These studies typically had small numbers of participants (between 9 and 280 participants)."""

So there is some small reason to believe that there might be a real, exploitable link here.
It seems people are trained to believe that food always needs some kind of processing. I often eat raw bell peppers and tomato pieces at work and judging from the comments people seem to never even have thought of that as possibility.

Right now the best are bottled teas like "Honest Tea" for $3 a pop at lunch. You can get something much better by buying some nice tea and brewing it yourself. And it probably costs only 5 cents instead of $3.
All three of your points are about the dangers of a free press, not anything specific to online leaks.
Ignoring the lunacy of wasting decades of training to prove (I hope, to everyone) the blindingly obvious, this would potentially be a real fun experiment to design.

They have it on the iPad IIRC.

But isn't that more for quick moving stuff, like games or (in the iPhone) quicker visual response to pen input and such?

For regular computing (reading webpages, editing stuff, programming, watching movies) I don't see much of a difference.

Heck, movies are 24p and we're fine with it.
Because juice tastes good. Fruit tastes good, and juice is a 10x more cool, watery, refreshing, and sweet. Anyone who says chugging a half litre of cold apple juice after a long run isn’t heaven on earth is dead inside.
This is why I get mad when people piss on RMS. No need to dwell on his defects, he has served our community immeasurably.
But to sustain a weight loss you basically do have to eat less, forever. I say this being 60 pounds below my highest weight (200 vs 260).

Someone is talking about protein conversion, but I expect it is just harder to eat excess calories of meat. The 2 pounds of beef a day it would take many people to maintain body weight is a lot of beef to sit and eat.
I would continue, where the ideals of the 60s/70/80s/90s left off. Since IT gets dominated (sponsored) by service companies, book and grocery stores, things are a bit fucked up, to say at least ;-)

An ID certainly makes those things easier, but a government issued photo ID is not actually required for any of them. Like I said in my original comment, the only things that absolutely require an ID are international travel and driving. If you do neither of those, then you might not have an ID.

Obviously we disagree on where the example lands. My original post was in good faith.

"Why would you need a new construct for something that is already solved?"

To me, adding the variable assigned before the if-statement, inside, or after the if-statement would have made it clear why one might write the original code that way, and why a new type of assignment could be helpful.

Looking at the downvotes, that is apparently not a common confusion.
While I like the sentiments here, a few things stand out is very weird and counter-productive to the message:

1) This is obviously hosted on some kind of dynamic site. Producing 8kb took over 20ms, with most of it in TTFB. Even clearly static resources had this.

2) The stylesheet is 2x the size of the page and contains tons of extraneous content.

3) For a brutalist style, it's quite fiddly about letting userscripts touch its styling. The stylesheet contains a ton of directives with !important and not all are about positioning.

(If accessibility and performance really are features, it feels like the author didn't care to work too hard on those features even in the simplest case.)

4) Also: I do not appreciate seeing ANY tracking pings from something like gaug.es. You certainly didn't inform me that you were sharing my presence with a third party that doesn't recognize any of my rights. If you're gonna do this, at least do it on your compute and I/O time and don't waste someone else's. Have your server pass connection details up to your analytics. That also limits the amount of fingerprinting the tracking ping can do to me, were I not blocking it.

(From one of the co-authors of this article)
I once received a mistaken IRS tax bill of $600,000, more than I had earned in my entire life up to that point. After much paperwork filing, they decided I actually owed them nothing but I still had to go through the process contesting it and providing stacks of documentation. Ironically, they already had the exact same information I had, they simply didn't bother to look at it. So I can easily imagine that it wouldn't be difficult for the IRS to make a mistake and come up with figures much higher than $51k.

To their credit, the IRS was fairly reasonable to work with while this was going on. I think the examiner caught on pretty quickly that something didn't make sense.
I encourage all citizens who typically do not vote, to vote your conscience, and then lie. Already no one expects you to vote anyway, so just lie per their expectations and say you didn't vote. That way you don't have to justify or argue your choice any differently than you have in the past.

Yes it's a bit chicken s* but so f'n what? You don't actually owe anyone an explanation anyway, but you're entitled to vote. So just get on with it, and lie. Everyone is lying about something or other anyway and this kind of lie is pretty benign. And it's in the public good that you vote even if you don't like arguing about why you voted the way you did.

That's exactly how I summarized most of his comments yet he still claims it's not true. I don't know, I am interested if he will reply to some of my comments so we can better judge what he actually had in mind. Him claiming that everybody misunderstood him is not a helpful discussion starter. :)
I wish there was an easy way (e.g. browser feature or extension) for people viewing a siteto get the best automated approximation of this for any web site. (actually my firefox extension Aardvark kinda tried/tries -- since 2005! :) -- there's a way of selecting and area of the page and hitting "b" to go black and white, but it also sort of normalizes font sizes, etc and gives most sites something pretty close)

I also wish that web publishers could customize this behavior, possibly simply by have a different css file for it.

It would be great if users could choose to view the web this way as a default, but I don't know if I would choose that option. And I can't get on board wishing every site, or even most sites, were like this. It would be like living in a neighborhood where all the houses were the same shade of white, or that every meal I had was the same thing. I find colors and fonts and graphics appealing, even if they are subtle and played-down like Hacker News.

If you like this look, that's great, but I wouldn't advise it for a web site that wants lots of viewers/users.

I’m pretty interested in a lot of AgTech. While I like to see these pieces as it justifies my interest, it reminds me you can’t escape capitalism and everyone is going to try to make a dime off of you. As such, I feel like I’ll only be able to take my projects seriously if they’re funded or vested by an incubator or VC who is equally benevelont or altruistic. I’m even contemplating going for a PhD just so a large university would be willing to handle this burden. Farmers are always thought of as the humble, true “American” figure. The idea that hard work pays off. But I’ll be damned if it’s not rife with more corruption than any other industry.

Yes. I/we are using AngularJS to update some applications (apps, NOT sites) that manage state forms from initiation within private organizations with a workflow through the counties up to the state. There is quite a bit of interactive validation and input formatting / lookup support in a small number of very long forms, so it helps to have most of the interaction on the client side.

Also on the plus side, the back end requires less code now. IMHO, where Java is concerned, less of it is better. (There is still WAAAAAAAY too much of it, compared to equivalent Rails code)

Javascript might not be quite as good of a “Simula 67” as Java is, but it’s a much better Smalltalk or Scheme than Java is :-). (A comparison which probably doesn’t hold for JS vs Ruby)
Very true. But don't make it the only factor in losing weight. You need to manage amount of food, what you eat and when you eat. They all are important.

I believe the link between sugar and hyperactivity is mostly a myth

http://www.yalescientific.org/2010/09/mythbusters-does-sugar...
Skim milk typically doesn't contain vitamin A and fat is essential for helping our bodies absorb the vitamins and nutrients we consume. Plus, as a source of energy and calories, fat is much better than sugar for children because it takes longer to break down which aids diet regulation.

The article talks about this, but the reason it's so easy to binge on snack foods like juice is because they don't make you feel full and so you continue eating. Similarly, you'll feel much fuller if you drink whole milk versus skim milk, which is great for children who can't control impulses very well.
