>Will a state manager start mediating all application logic now?

The author refers to the shopping cart sample -- which is exactly what I used as a blueprint. I think that's acceptable that the design pattern suggestion is coming from the store layer vs. the template layer (who is focused on the UI/UX).
> And on a purely practical basis, if you estimate SDV safety based on narrowly beating the mean accident rate across all drivers in tests, and then early commercial adoption tends to be replacing experienced commercial drivers who drive the most miles with the fewest incidents first, you're certainly going to push that accident rate up in the short run even without additional miles driven.

Uber could be skewing statistics in similar ways.

Anyway, this is all handwavy speculation. What I'm trying to get at is that the overton window for AV behavior may be surprisingly large, especially if they exhibit their worst behavior in the learning years when the fleets are still small. For some metrics possibly even larger than that for humans.
It really depends on target environment. At work? Sure, every single machine comes out of provisioning with Python 2.7 installed. For something that gets distributed to be used by other people? No way I'd trust anything but POSIX, and that's pushing it some days.
I certainly am not in favor of censoring historical documents, but as the article mentions, the declaration blames the British for stirring up the "merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions". That's a pretty hateful thing to say especially when you realize that colonists killing Native women and children was if anything more common than the reverse.
Based on this logic raising kids to eat 9/10 of them after roasting them alive would be better than declining to have kids because you disregard the suffering in some sort of interesting moral arithmetic.

The bigger issue is not that nature of the math but the notion that you believe you can subject the matter to it like what is the answer to 42 + banana.

The simpler answer is that we ought to do less immoral things not to find interesting justifications for doing so.
And good services also make it possible to put a subscription on hold for 6-12mo or even indefinitely. I did that with Hulu for a while before upgrading to their no-ad service. If they didn't have hold, I would have cancelled and probably not signed up again.

Of course with Netflix, I've never thought that.
There is no legally available full collection. Twitch did a full run with NBC (I think it was that channel) as a stream last year and a bunch of people screen-capped it and uploaded it to a few places. I got my copy from a btsync link.

Despite what we teach small children, lying is not immoral. Lying is amoral. The circumstance and motivation of a lie determine whether that particular lie is moral or immoral.

There are times when it's moral to lie, other times when it's immoral to lie, and still other times when morality hardly has anything to do with it at all (such as the above scenario.) We tell small children that it's immoral to lie because we don't trust their moral judgement and would prefer they always tell us the truth.
Words and pictures are just different ways to represent a concept whose description in the target language you want to learn. It probably impacts fluency (i.e. speed) when you first come up with a word in one language and have to translate it into the other, but learning the connection "word -> word" and "picture -> word" should be equivalent otherwise.

I would try using pictures more to see whether there actually is a difference, but most words I'm practicing with Anki don't corresponding to visible objects at all.

From the article:

> Then in November of 2007, I went to visit my friend in Japan for a month. And in Japan they have all of this incredibly advanced cellular technology and all of the rest. And so because of that, they had very few wireless networks, and my phone didn’t work. As a result, I actually had very little access to the Internet. I sort of realized without Wikipedia how little I really knew. And I had just got an iPhone, so I decided to try basically putting a copy of Wikipedia on the phone, so that I’d have it as I was walking around in Japan.
I am not familiar with NATO standards until I read this post. And I’m not an English native speaker. But what I get from NATO idea is take the first character from the word said in conversation. So when speaking with someone on the phone, sometimes I say “I” as Italy instead of India. And luckily they understand it.
You may try “Monaco” instead of “Mike”.
That shouldn't be an issue. Check the README. This is a common issue people run into on Macs.
I repeat this again and again, and am always surprised that nobody else likes to raise the unfair comparisons.

I am willing to assume that waymo/Tesla etc have found the holy Grail, and made a driverless car safer than the average current human driver on the road. I'm not convinced that we should still allow these driverless cars on the road with no human backups. Not because of expectations or liability, but because the benchmark is wrong. We should compare them to a human assisted by the same driverless technology being used passively to prevent accidents. And it's not clear if a driverless car with no human backup is safer than a human assisted by the same technology.
I've found simply emailing them and asking for a call back to be surprisingly effective, or I in a few cases i stop paying them by changing the billing to a card that is about to expire. And if necessary the phrase "I will be contacting my state attorney general's office, consumer fraud division, what was your name again?" is the atomic bomb in getting things resolved.

Last times I used hyperscript I just got lost in the sea of parens, brackets, and braces. Never had a problem with cl-who though, so don't really know what that's about.
That’s actually an interesting question - I would lean towards it being a sufficiently reasonable transformation but I’m obviously not a lawyer.

That said more or less all modern ML is just a glorified statistical model. That it allows a non-linear model is the bit that makes it useful vs. basics like averages and deviations.

The reason I say that is because (in the US), the NFL and MLB, etc have frequently stated that they believe that even the statistics (not just the raw data) are their property. If they consider linear statistical values to be property I’m sure they would think the same about those properties that make up the weights in a NN.

Again not saying who is right (in terms of the law), just think aloud :)

Study abroad was my favorite part of college. Spending just a few weeks each in Taiwan and Costa Rica was pretty enlightening.
No, that's a wrong benchmark. We shouldn't compare driverless cars with the average human driver. We should compare them with the average human driver assisted by the best technology (which is say waymo's driverless software running passively to prevent accidents).
I've found a different method. Email them and tell them they need to call me or they won't be paid anymore. I've actually used the phrase "give me a holler". Got a call the next morning.
What's the benefit of sample return?
Many commenters here point out that this is not necessarily the end, and that lobbyist will keep trying. Seemingly implying that this is an eventuality.

I don't think so, if we keep fighting we can win this. I for one plan to keep applying pressure to members of the legal committee.

Realistic optimism is not a cause for complacency. But we must also recognize that this is battle we can win, as to not give up without a fight. For all the faults of our democracies let's recognize that it worked today :)

One would have to speculate; it is very unclear. Proficient regeneration seems like it would be a good thing to pair with restoration of stem cell function, but without the restoration of stem cell function it might not be too helpful.

As a general rule building a new human biology is hard. Even making tiny tweaks to our existing biochemistry, such as calorie restriction mimetics, is proving to be very challenging to do effectively and safely. Reverting to the known good youthful state on the other hand, is less complex. So I'd expect delivery of replacement stem cell populations to be a going concern long before adjustments that produce MRL-like or spiny-mouse-like regeneration in humans.

The feature of aging that proficient regeneration seems most likely to help with is the business of fibrosis (liver, kidney, heart, lungs), where regeneration runs awry into excessive scarring, and damage to organs like the heart that do not repair themselves. Equally, it might have to be controlled very carefully in organs where structure is important, which would limit any early application. Recent experiments with cell therapy in the heart in monkeys produced disruption of heartbeat because of the formation of biological pacemarkers outside the normal parameters, for example.

> I think the issue is that people keep expecting something from React that React has specifically stated it does not do, which is handle everything.

You can't really have it both ways though: if you're going to say React doesn't do all those things then you have to accept that people who want something more streamlined and comprehensive should legitimately look somewhere else, and React is only for people who want to spend the time assembling their own solution (for some acknowledged benefits). Vue has taken the more comprehensive approach while still being pretty flexible, and therefore suits a slightly different (but I would argue, broader) set of people.
This seems to explain the rumors of Apple supposedly moving Macs away from Intel better than that rumor, which doesn’t really make sense, certainly not on the timescale of 2020. If supply chain orders to Intel declined, it makes much more sense if it was for radio chip orders than CPUs.
I'm not speaking about the events in the OP, but generally I think people do their cause harm when they say things such as the following (there are several more examples in the article):

After the raids, Bartl was forced to take a break from work. He said that he assumes, given his work on digital rights issues, that he may be under surveillance. Bartl also expressed concern that future donors may also face scrutiny, financially hurting the group's projects.

Sometimes (I know nothing about these incidents), some of the reasons for these actions are to intimidate you and disrupt your work. Letting them know you are intimidated and disrupted not only encourages the bully, it spreads those consequences much more widely than just you: It demoralizing people who follow you, who depend on you, and who are in similar positions; and via the news article it spreads the intimidation and disruption to a much wider audience. How many on HN will now have second thoughts? The better response, I think, is f- that; we won't be stopped or intimidated.
> In part because the more bash a dev knows the more effective they are at life in general

On that note this article (https://iridakos.com/tutorials/2018/03/01/bash-programmable-...) on bash completion scripts has been a big boon for my effectiveness recently. I've been creating simulations of our complex interactions with third party systems and the completions scripts are doing things like pulling the correct values from the database rather than having to type them in manually.

I knew I'd saved a bunch of time but it really hit home yesterday when I had to explain to QA how to repeat the process and it's "open this file, change these values, save it here, open other file, set these values from previous file, save here". For me the whole thing is "cmd<tab><tab>".

Does anyone have any tips on taking scripts like that and generalizing them for whole teams? At the moment they're very much built for my personal needs.

To be 100% honest, if they offered $80k and military level benefits I bet you a ton of people would take that offer as long as it was guaranteed in writing they would be in the US writing code. Most developers are mediocre and paid in the $80-120k range depending on cost of living.

My Quest to Get My Data Back from Facebook, OkCupid and More
When did this happen to you? I've been considering the same, but switching accounts hasn't yet been worth the hassle.
Right, for an app that makes sense but the use case I mentioned was really just pure data. A ticket is rarely more than a qr code or some other identifier, whose veracity is then checked t the point of reading. In an arena full of people it’s not uncommon for cell towers to get overloaded, or you may be roaming if overseas and don’t want to waste data, or you’re on a moving train with no on board WiFi or if it has one it might not work right. In those cases (and it seems to happen to me a lot) I would’ve preferred that the ticket I received in my email was viewable offline, even if I’d never seen it before. With a data URI, that’s possible. It’s not an entirely contrived use case I don’t think.
Also, a physical sport. You will never have the time, interest, and enthusiasm that a kid has to get good at a sport again. I grew up surfing and am proficient at it. This makes it fun. Which means I do it regularly. It’s a great fitness activity and much more fun than my gym workouts. I’ve seen countless adults try to pick up surfing and 99% never become proficient. It took several years as a kid before I gained anything near proficiency. I’d be one of those 99% if I tried to pick it up as an adult. I got lucky I guess to have been introduced to it as a kid. That would be my advice.
It's been a super long time since I looked at this (decades), but at least when I did a lot of reading on it, this kind of recommendation is based on making sure you have protein availability in the bloodstream when it is being taken up for muscle building. It's not so much the amount as the timing. Again, at least at the time when I was reading about this stuff, there were lots of recommendations for having 5-7 meals a day, or splitting your carb and protein intake (for example eating your protein 1 hour after eating your carbs in order to take advantage of the insulin rush).

There are dangers corresponding too much protein intake -- calcium depletion, for example. It's also pretty hard on your kidneys. A lot of advice in the gym is not necessarily geared towards health as much as it is to maximise muscle development/protection. I will also say that nutrition research is chock full of poor science and worse explanations of that science by well meaning popular books. It was my hobby when I was at university (hence decades ago) to look up the actual papers referenced by popular sports nutrition theorists and never once did I find that it held up (either the papers they were referencing were horrible studies, or they got the conclusions completely wrong). It's been a long time since I've had access to a good library, so I've completely lost touch, but I suspect that little has changed.

I do wonder about some sports teams and whether or not they are puzzling things out. For example, the Sky cycling team is famous for their "marginal gains" approach -- trying to get a tenth of a percentage of improvement from anywhere. But I haven't found them to be particularly forthcoming about nutrition, for example.
Belkin’s new Lightning-enabled power bank comes with Apple certification
This is the same with any field really. People are just people. Everyone just goes along figuring things out the way they know best. I was lucky I got to learn this lesson young. Don't get me wrong, I definitely respect masters of a profession or craft and any time I get the chance to learn from one I ask as many questions as they'll tolerate. But, I don't see them as being super geniuses or above me. They're just people who've put a lot of time and practice into mastering their skill. They know what's worked best for them and what they are able to do, but that may not necessarily be the way that works best for everyone and they're still learning almost as much as you are.

I'm lucky. I get to work with a few people who really are masterful at what we do. All of them though know different aspects of our work and all of them do things just a little bit differently. But, they still make mistakes, they don't always have the answer and despite their many more years of experience will sometimes even ask me the best way to do something.

Honestly the only thing i've really found that separates the masters from the beginners is just years of practice and experience. Sure some natural talent comes into play, but without practice you don't even know if you have a talent for things. I really feel like people can learn to do most things if they have the passion and dedication to learn it. I just feel like people severely underestimate how long it takes to get good at something.

We have offices in both SF and Toronto, and so far people report that even with an increased salary, the standard of living is higher working in the Toronto office.

Generally, the ones who transfer to SF are young and are looking to sacrifice standard of living in exchange for "being part of the scene," which is perfectly rational.

The standard of living in Toronto is reportedly quite higher for people with kids, but that certainly doesn't apply to everyone.

I hate calling and going through the hoops and even then what proof do you have you cancelled?

I called a place recently and asked to cancel, first question was.

"Did you read the cancellation date!?!"

Yeah I did and I know you aren't because you didn't even ask my name yet...

So they look it up and ask again what I want, I tell them to cancel it again....

The Braid mechanic was great for that kind of game. Hopefully more games will use it. IIRC, you could also speed forward again if you did that quickly enough after rewinding and it was a way to try to figure out what incorrect assumptions you might be making on some of the harder levels.

I really liked how checkpoints are presented in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (at least, not sure about others in that series). It introduces the game as retelling of a story and if you mess up enough to "die", the main character says "no, no, that's not how it went" and then you continue from the last checkpoint.

Yet, both of these policies (article 11 and 13) have been tried out in a few countries.

IMO concentration of power merely means that you need to be more careful with it. The EU will rarely be critized for standardizing boring regulation.

I keep thinking that in the post brexit world maybe the EU should strive away from controversial topics for a few years. But I could be wrong :)
Americans in general are having less babies. Last year more non-white babies were born than white babies, and due to the opiod crisis the white life expectancy went down while it's rising for other groups. America is in the early stages of a really interesting demographic shift. It will be interesting to look back on how the politics of this era shape out.

> But the classic "callback hell" is when you have async code calling other async code. In that case, a callback can absolutely return a meaningful value to the other async callback.

But then it ceases to be a callback? It's a one-shot function called within the context of a callback. A use case promises are particularly good at enabling.
There's this company that offers internet service on flights also claims to offer secure hotspots, (it's a gimmick) around cities all over the US they're based in Los Angeles: Boingo Wireless. The only way to cancel the service is to call in, that's their whole scheme. When you they treat that as if you were doing something extremely complicated and that takes time. One of the customer service representative told me that he would have to contact the engineering department to cancel my account...Like that would be necessary. I was getting impatient, on the phone for about 40 minutes. This new law will be the end of them.

It's probably disputable as in violation of their merchant agreement, but yeah most people will just suffer under the consequences instead of pushing back.
Unsurprisingly, when the financial incentive is don't do X people prefer not to do X.

The truth is, we need to socialize the cost of child care and having children. Or we need immigration.

The latter has always been the cheaper (for society) option but given all the resentment that has built up in the US, we are probably better off going with the former.
