Take Apache or Postfix, for example, which are configured via possibly complex configuration files and not a “web API”. It is definely useful to have comments explaining configurations. For example, “here we deviated from the default for such and such reasons”. That’s true whether the file isn’t maintained manually or via some Puppet or Chef template or something else.

No safety relevant code is written in Python. All the safety relevant code runs real-time on a STM32 micro (inside the Panda), it's written in C and it's placed at the interface between the car and the Eon. This code ensures the satisfaction of the 2 main safety principles that a Level 2 driver assistance system must have: 1- the driver needs to be able to easily disengage the system at any time; 2- the vehicle must not alter its trajectory too quickly for the driver to safely react. See https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/blob/devel/SAFETY.md

Among the processes that runs on the Eon, you can find algorithms for perception, planning and controls. Most of it is actually autogenerated code in C++ (see model predictive controls). Python code is used mainly as a wrapper and for non-computational expensive parts.
To use functional safety terminology, the Eon functionality is considered QM (Quality Management). This means that any failure in delivering the desired output at the right time is perceived as bad quality and has no safety implications. So, how often those algorithms deliver the wrong output because some parts are written in Python? How often because RT isn’t enforced? Negligible. Pretty much all the mistakes of a level 2 driver assistance system are due to the quality of the algorithms, the models, the policies etc… There is a long way to go before changing the coding language will be the lowest hanging fruit to improve the system. Until then, using the simplest and most agile coding language (given performance constraints) is probably the best way to maximize quality.
It's fun to read glassdoor reviews from their acquirees.

Sounds like the formula is:

1) Buy the company

2) Shut down the main office and move it to some cheaper city, accept attrition

3) Fire all employees over 30 (using the patented "IQ" test as a cover), replace them with young kids or "HPELs"

4) Install a Glengarry Glen Ross style sales regime

5) Hold on for a few quarters while numbers are improved from all the cost cutting

6) Quickly bail and sell the thing off before anyone notices it's all being held up by duct tape and bailing wire

7) Wash hands. Repeat.

> I’ll block everything

Except the content, of course -- that, you expect to consume for free.

This is the digital equivalent of saying to a musician, or film actor: because of the existence of a technology that allows me to consume your content for free (Napster / torrents / pirate bay / ad-blockers), I will shed all of my ethics and freely consume all of your music / movies, while at the same time I hope you never get paid and further, I hope the record label / movie studio you work for, goes out of business, all because you dared to show me an ad.

Instead, you're saying it to a reporter, journalist or author. But the message is the same.

And your final sentence is nonsensical. Generally, ads don't pretend they aren't ads. It's content that "masquerades" as a non-ad. http://brandsandfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/HouseOf... Heck, HN is an ad for YCombinator masquerading as a news site / discussion forum.

They have a process for handling machine learning specifically, and integrating machine learning into existing business processes where best suited. The types of data and problems machine learning solve are well defined.

Did you read the article? Because that’s pretty tangential to most of what it brings up. It’s also not an accurate description of reality. Different investors have different horizons, and different companies operate with different horizons for their missions. If there’s any myth here it’s that all investors are singularly focussed on the next quarters profits, or even that most of them are. Most of the people on this board have probably worked at a company with a cap that’s 20x it’s revenue, or at least know somebody who has. There’s a whole sector of investors who are willing to invest in companies that lose money year after year on the premise that they may one day make a profit.
If i ever encounter a situation where I'm selling my company and the buyer asks me to submit to a "proprietary cognitive assessment" ..I think there are going to be more $ involved. I'm not at all convinced one should give that information away for free - meaning this is a separate fee negotiated outside of the business price.

So, here's the complication - I can speak for myself in this regard, but i'm not sure how a principal could or should navigate this issue with coworkers or on behalf of employees.

ideas?

Another possible solution:

Each side has two locks: one that is locked when the key is missing, and one that is locked when the key is present. To give yourself privacy, you must also lock yourself in. To exit the room, you must first unlock the other door and use the key to unlock your own door.
> ..but how different is this from ... fuzz testing

Very short answer. Fuzzing changes run-time input and mutation is changing the code.
You haven't said what app you are building and who the target market is, so that is the place to start.

Forget about what your sons tell you, unless they are representative of your target market.

From there, you can then make an informed decision of what platform your target market is using, and what is the correct platform to build for.

You can also use this information to inform you if React Native would be acceptable for your target market and use case.

You are not airbnb, you can't afford to build and maintain two different platforms. You mention creating "really cool UX", but is that something you want? Or something your target market needs? I've been bitten by the bug of creating really cool UX that nobody cared about, so consider that as part of your market need.

I'm not saying don't ever create cool UX or don't ever build native, but from an MVP or lean perspective, you want to penetrate as deep into the market as quickly as you can. If React Native can get you more breadth and more discovery early, you can always decide later if you need to invest in doing native, or can continue improving on what you have.
What if you believe you are the smartest person in the room because you are the only one that questions their own ideas?

I don't see ads and I don't see your message.. I didn't even realise you were ad supported. Which means my adblocker is working right! But also means unfortunately that I sometimes don't get to unblock websites which I do want to support. Just donated.

I would feel much more inclined to donate generally if I could see how much a service needs to operate and how much they have so far raised. Then I can see a direct path of my meagre contribution. I don't know why this info needs to be secret for a free service (though there might be a good reason).

Aside:I wonder if anyone on HN know if its possible I wonder to whitelist and sandbox a site which uses an ad network like adsense? As I generally block networks as a matter of course. (not so much because it stops them tracking me personally.. just because I think they shouldn't be tracking).
I think it is related to the (in)famous talk the Subversion developers held in 2008 about "Poisonous people" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F-3E8pyjFo Both terms are kind of meaningless because the allegory to toxic substances doesn't work at all. Water, salt, alcohol, DDT and lead are all toxic but in different ways. Imo, more specific terms are better like "Help Vampire," which according to some, would be a poisonous person.
> I thought the US A didn't tend to use IQ tests for a number of reasons, also IQ tests are gameable.

The primary reason is that protected minorities score lower than average on IQ tests; without a legitimate business reason to set an IQ cutoff, you can be sued for discriminatory hiring. And because IQ is so granular, you don't want to argue in court that 1 point is a business necessity when you set a threshold of 110, and you reject a minority candidate with a 109 score.

It is hard to explain but you've nailed it. In development, you are alive and can fix things. I do not want things to go wrong for my users.

By myself, I have a lot of leeway. There are many things I can tolerate, and I often strive for "good enough"

But I can't do that with future users involved, even if they don't exist yet. Because they will trust me to deliver a good product, and I want to be worthy of their trust.
What metrics are they recording? Besides IQ scores.
Well this thread is not about people 3d printing nukes. It is instead about people 3d printing guns.

Or in other words, the "controversy" here is entirely overblown, as firearms are very much something that everyone has been able to imagine for a long time, and this is not a "tricky situation". It is a clear and obvious situation covering rights that are clearly covered in the constitution.

You are probably right, I should have probably mentioned them

But none of those options give you choice when it comes to your server provider and since the post was about servers and my opinion on the fact that servers have been left behind while the rest of the developer facing market moves to simplify things, I do feel somewhat justified in not mentioning them.

Regardless, I’ve added a clarification to the post.

Without seeing your resume it is hard to highlight what you are doing wrong.

It is important to realize that your resume can get ignored for a variety of reasons. Typically the first filter is an automated system which looks for key words. Second a person in HR looks at it. For techies, the HR is a problem as HR does not look at things in a technical fashion... To get past HR, I recommend a resume writting service. Since at 500 applications you should get a bite, but there is obviously SOMETHING wrong with your resume.

<bitterness on> The annoying thing I have encountered is the companies (HR department) likes to FIND YOU! I have had calls from the HR department saying I would be perfect for a job at their company. I agree that is why I sent a resume last week. Radio silence follows. Implication being, what use is an HR department if they cannot find someone, they do not get as well rewarded if you find them.<bitterness off>

Have you considered visiting a recruiter? Since they are money orientated, they will work hard to fit your round peg in a square hole.

As long as you keep wealth disparity under control, make sure people don't get stuck in poverty, correctly tax externalities, enforce honest marketing, and deal with a lot of other small details, shareholder value maximization is nearly optimal in being beneficial to the people using the system.

Where I worked, they had been shrinking through attrition, and there were no longer enough people to occupy two floors of a building. So one day they decided to consolidate on one floor. I had a thought and looked it up - yep, the bathroom was now below the statutory number of toilets per employee.

Of course, that was nothing that couldn't be solved through further attrition.

Can't different PE groups have different strategies? A note from Buffett on PE:

Unlike LBO operators and private equity firms, we have no “exit” strategy — we buy to keep. That’s one reason why Berkshire is usually the first — and sometimes the only — choice for sellers and their managers.

Some years back our competitors were known as “leveraged-buyout operators.” But LBO became a bad name. So in Orwellian fashion, the buyout firms decided to change their moniker. What they did not change, though, were the essential ingredients of their previous operations, including their cherished fee structures and love of leverage.
Their new label became “private equity,” a name that turns the facts upside-down: A purchase of a business by these firms almost invariably results in dramatic reductions in the equity portion of the acquiree’s capital structure compared to that previously existing. A number of these acquirees, purchased only two to three years ago, are now in mortal danger because of the debt piled on them by their private-equity buyers. Much of the bank debt is selling below 70 ¢ on the dollar, and the public debt has taken a far greater beating. The private-equity firms, it should be noted, are not rushing in to inject the equity their wards now desperately need. Instead, they’re keeping their remaining funds very private.

The Onion makes no claims about being anything other than satire. The fact that Infowars publishes true news occasionally is no more significant than the fact that sometimes Onion stories end up happenening in real life.

Sowing doubt in the distrustful is simple and Infowars exploits that tendency in people while offering some signs of legitimacy by sometimes reporting on events like traditional news. Mix in enough BS and it becomes hard to tell what’s real, nothing new or special about that idea.

If the majority of what you publish is unsupported by evidence then you should not be considered news, commentary or entertainment sure, but not news.
Actually, they are NOT entitled to dividends. That's part of the myth, and is covered in the book. You should give it a read.

>How can you be sure that the goals you've programmed into a sufficiently-complex system are actually beneficial to the people using the system?

An impossible task indeed. That's the great thing about a market. The system designer doesn't have to understand what "actually beneficial" means, and participants don't have to take their word for it. People don't sign over value to companies unless they value what they're getting in return.
No luck. They are more disciplined and make themselves more valuable.
