A few chains have started... AMC, Cinemark are a couple I know of. They aren’t nearly as attractive as MoviePass of course, but at least they are sustainable.
> There is an alternative to the Bussard ramjet that offers many of its advantages (at least as far the needs of science fiction authors go)—one that has inexplicably only been used by a single author to my knowledge. What that alternative is, however, will have to wait for another essay.

I think the big question in this game becomes to you want to be a logistics company, or do you want to become a technology company?

Also, they don't let any Tom, Dick or Harry get a CDL, so that's a bit of a roadblock. Not like its too hard though.
While the outcome might be similar, I think a new generation reneging on the deals for that reason might be more legitimate. But just saying "oh, we lied" or "oh, we don't feel like paying you what we agreed (e.g. by raising taxes)" is pretty bogus.
It's not a poor argument at all. The claim was: "And the notion that a garbage collector should ever be part of a game engine (or anywhere near it) is frankly baffling to me.
.. unless you're making some turn based thing." But UE4 uses GC. One of the premium games engines uses the very thing that the post claims should never be used in a game engine. I have some sympathy for the idea that GC should at least be tightly controlled and that no-GC has its place. But to claim that GC should never be part of a game engine is simply contradicted by reality.

Why do you not like this? I’ve never been asked this but I think it’s a great question from both an interviewee and interviewer perspective, allows some great meta dialogue into understanding how each other think.
You can get a mobile phone for people that work for a company, or for a division (if it is a different entity). There is quite a lot of companies providing that data.

The CIA should consider operational blowback and the consequences.
As an aside, you're painting with some pretty broad brushes here labelling all of those people as white supremacists.

There is certainly some overlap there, but the numbers of white supremacists are small and the numbers of people with an affinity for some of those listed is much larger and not exclusively white (or male).

And in the case of most of that list, not even exclusively right-wing.

What happened to the CIA when they were caught spying on and hacking the congressional committee that's supposed to give them oversight, with the specific intention of deleting evidence before the committee? Jack shit.
Where do you get the "inferior support for multi-threading/multi-core" from? SBCL and ClozureCL (among others) support both with no issues.

Dated tooling? Not if you compare it to Clojure tooling, SLIME is lightyears ahead in terms of robustness. I've lost track of the Clojure REPLs (nrepl, CIDER, inf-clojure, ...) that still suck.

Re: "smaller ecosystem, not as many libraries", surely you are joking or not at all aware of things like the CMU Common Lisp repository. If we disregard Java libraries, Clojure doesn't even come close to CL code that has been made available over the last few _decades_.

One doesn't need CDRs or another (expensive, time consuming) standardization process when there are great portability libraries (FFI, threads, sockets, convenience macros, ..) or one can pick a defacto standard implementation that offers all of the above.
Yes, but JS is faster than Ruby and Python, and indeed most of your go-to scripting options.

"The people have their own opinions! We must shut them up for the sake of democracy!" Next you'll tell me that fighting in the war room is prohibited.

Speaking of prohibition and the past, let's talk about the Index Librorum Prohibitorum and the Inquisition:

"[...] Subsequent pontiffs continued to exhort the episcopate and the whole body of the faithful to be on their guard against heretical writings, whether old or new; and one of the functions of the Inquisition when it was established was to exercise a rigid censorship over books put in circulation. The majority of the condemnations were at that time of a specially theological character. With the discovery of the art of printing, and the wide and cheap diffusion of all sorts of books which ensued, the need for new precautions against heresy and immorality in literature made itself felt, and more than one pope (Sixtus IV. in 1479 and Alexander VI. in 1501) gave special directions to the archbishops of Cologne, Mainz, Trier and Magdeburg regarding the growing abuses of the printing press; in 1515 the Lateran council formulated the decree De Impressione Librorum, which required that no work should be printed without previous examination by the proper ecclesiastical authority, the penalty of unlicensed printing being excommunication of the culprit, and confiscation and destruction of the books. The council of Trent in its fourth session, 8th April 1546, forbade the sale or possession of any anonymous religious book which had not previously been seen and approved by the ordinary; in the same year the university of Louvain, at the command of Charles V., prepared an “Index” of pernicious and forbidden books, a second edition of which appeared in 1550."

It's almost as if the printing press had given anyone with paper access the sort of message amplification that John Wycliffe and Jan Hus could only dream of, and that Catholic society was being damaged by contextless applications of principles intended to protect it.

The parallels with certain other principles written for a time of longbows that have unintended consequences in an era of muskets should not be ignored.

It always astounds me that hysterical moralists today believe that they would be the ones resisting despots and authoritarian regimes, when it's clear that it was precisely those same hysterical moralists in different times wearing different costumes that would, on the drop of a dime, passionately support and install them for the sake of their own naïve sense of moral propriety.
Plate tectonics not needed to sustain life
I think that if you can figure out self driving trucks, you can figure out keeping it fueled as well. As a quick and easy solution I would imagine large enough fuel tanks on the truck itself, and a couple of gas stations with people fueling the trucks at places. One for every large industrial place would already make it very widespread. Another solution would be mechanical arms attaching to the truck.
You can native allocate a byte buffer in java, pack data in it and submit it to hardware. Zero difference from writing it in C/C++ in that case.
I suspect that's because the nature of "not-unemployed" is changing. Long ago it usually meant either being out of the workforce (retired, student, homemaker) or a full-time job with benefits.

Nowadays we're seeing a decrease in the last category, and an increase in "underemployment" and people holding multiple low-quality jobs to make ends meet. They aren't "unemployed", but they're not in a strong negotiating position either.
Building all those distribution points would be fairly expensive and time intensive, a smaller market, and would still require contracting/employing a lot of medium distance drivers for the last X miles. 'Last mile' here is probably on the order of 20-50 miles at least with hundreds of distribution hubs.
You really should never be shopping on Amazon for high margin products that are easy to fake. This means perfume, cosmetics, sunglasses and name brand clothing. These items are cheap to manufacture (even the real ones), but get their high perceived value from brand. Those Raybans you love? A $250 pair costs Luxotica around $5 to manufacture. So items like these are common to fake because the fakers can often get a product that is close in quality to the real thing. If they can just trick people into thinking it IS the real thing, they can make as much margin as the big guys without the cost of building an actual brand.

BTW, because of the way Amazon’s FBA service works, even ordering items that are “sold by” a reputable retailer but “fulfilled by Amazon” gets you a high chance of receiving a fake. This is because they mix FBA stock and don’t discriminate what stock it comes from when filling that item, regardless of who the seller is.
Wooo! I'm happy for them! I am using their stuff right now for a project I'm working on (plug: https://kurz.app/) and I really appreciate the ecosystem serverless is cultivating. Simple stuff like bundling up pip requirements or syncing a local folder with a S3 bucket could be done using a script I write, but through serverless I can just install a package and have it hook in as part of each deploy.
I would guess it's due to investment...

Self driving experts can easily pull in salaries of $5M plus per year, and this stuff takes many years. To build a team of those people, you need to burn an insane amount of cash.

That much cash is only available from investors if the reward is huge. Replacing all interstate trucking is a much smaller potential reward than replacing all human transportation.

Hence everyone is working on the harder, but much higher reward projects.

No, not video feedback. There are companies doing the video feedback and usually, the pricing starts at around $10/review, so considerably more expensive.

Well don't take it on trust, validate it works. And keep validating it still works, because one day it won't. Everyone seems to sell out in the end.
It's against the Geneva Conventions to use hospitals as military bases, or to attack hospitals. The idea that no country should mix public health and military operations is mutually agreed on, and is to help keep war, for lack of a better word, "civilized".

If you start doubting that doctors are truly just trying to save lives, then the line between civilians and soldiers becomes so blurry that war can become even more horrible than it already is. Countries must hold firm that civilians doctors must not be ever construed as soldiers, for the safety of those doctors, and the people they treat.
Waymo is developing a self driving truck. With Uber out of the game, there’s more upside for Waymo.
Don't worry, they will eventually regulate that too.
The history of innovation compounds. One cannot improve on what hasn't been invented yet, but afterward, it can happen at any time afterward, even if the unimproved original has since been rendered obsolete.

If you think of it in terms of "200 years ago" versus "200 years from now" you might think there would be equal magnitudes of progress. But now is 200 years since 1818, and 2218 is 400 years from 1818 AND 200 years from now. The future has more to build on, and taller shoulders to stand on.

The center of history, at the exact moment where as much has changed since the idea "maybe we could just plant some seeds between the Tigris and Euphrates, and maybe not wander around so much," and from then until the present, may be shorter than 50 years ago, and getting closer every year. Thousands of years on one side of the balance, and tens of years on the other. With that in mind, today may be as different from 1818 as 2038 is from today. 2218 would be just inconceivable.
What do you mean by "validate it"?
Paywall on an obvious article. What the fuck is the internet coming too. We seriously need to get cull this dead weight.
If he's able to patronize another business with his dollars, then the business does not have that type of power. The reason why governments are held to a higher standard wrt individual rights is because an individual generally cannot just choose another government; they are by definition monopolies.

If it were a monopoly business - say Google, Facebook, the local ISP, or Microsoft in their heyday - you might have more of a point. Few people threaten to quit Google because they may encounter rude assholes on the Internet.
Which is what I was thinking of making it such a boon. Drivers need breaks, commutes, limited time of driving per day.
Software didn't do anything wrong. Emergency braking was disabled and relied on the human driver.

It is just another example of how assisted driving (such as tesla autopilot et al) is much more dangerous than nothing at all - driver disconnects and isn't paying attention, disaster is only a matter of when.

Meanwhile, Waymo is expanding into self-driving trucks, saw them on 101.
We can voice our opinions/concerns. This is very basic principle of democracy. Protests are one of the most important feature of democracy. Without protests, we won't have a lot of basic rights we take for granted now.

Online comments are probably the most weak form of protests. Spotify can ignore it or not. They may lose revenue or not. But no one is forcing anyone.
I'm glad the media seems to finally be paying attention to a problem most people know/have suspected for a long time, though I wonder if Amazon will ever be held accountable in the same way FB has with Cambridge Analytica...seems like it will take a major crisis (someone dying or getting seriously injured buying a fake product on Amazon) for something to actually happen.
Is the volume for these specific problem domains ever going to get high enough to make yields worth it? There's a reason commodity CPUs took over.

Similarly, I find it frustrating that they also just never backported the integration to older models. I have two different kindles and 1) where notes/highlights are stored, and 2) reading status updates to two entirely different websites, one being Goodreads and the other being an older site that is increasingly hard to find in Amazon's sitemap labyrinth.

How is that cargo-culting? GP's comment doesn't even seem to come close to the meaning of cargo-culting. And yes, type definitions in my projects account for a good percentage, anywhere from 5-25% of each file, if you take into account all the interfaces, parameter definitions, class types... So that's removing 5-25% of your minified JS bundle, and if we're talking a 4mb bundle, that could be 1mb of type information, completely useless at runtime. If you needed to map that type information to your source code, this is what source maps are for!

The US middle class is entirely oblivious to how extraordinarily low its taxes are. Despite having one of the highest disposable income levels on earth, it somehow manages to blow all of its money on consumer crap from China, $300/month cell phone plans, $200 DirecTV plans, etc., instead of saving it. That's despite the US having a lower cost of living than Germany and France.

All the right politicians bleat about lowering taxes - you really can't, the rich are already paying for everything as it is now, we can hardly get more progressive (on income taxes at least). You can't lower taxes on the bottom 75%, it's just pandering. The left bleats about the well-off not paying their fair share, somehow paying for nearly everything isn't a fair share. They're both wrong as usual. More plausibly, to pay for ballooning entitlement costs, infrastructure, expanding healthcare, etc. taxes need to go up on everyone.
Cinemark gives you about a $1 discount for one ticket only when you subscribe to a monthly membership, which includes only that said ticket per month. It doesn't make any sense.

I think the problem is that it already is really easy. I feel like it'd be hard to simplify the interface of something like UniFi's AP series and still keep the number of knobs it gives you.

It conveniently falls in line with racial diversity goals but it is unclear what other goals it accomplishes. The reasonable assumption is that any soft skill goals or measures will have a high preference for white males. It is very suspect that this isn't true.

If anything, it would be much easier for a computer to follow the extra regulations than humans, who routinely violate such regulations in the first place, in the same way that autopilots only follow approved routes for planes.

Add in the fatigue and long, repetitive drives that are a feature of long-distance trucking, and it seems like a situation more ripe for automation.
Toss a little tea in there and it's pretty good.
While it's amusing to consider that someone cares, the fact is that if someone wanted to specifically surveil you the most likely way to do so would be to crack into your computers and network devices. That's the real threat model. You want the device with the best functional security. I don't think you should rule out any candidates based on imaginary privacy issues.
You're talking humanity here abledon. Too bad that isn't what the internet wants.
(I worked at reddit)

It's not really related to search, most of the cause is a pretty bizarre optimization method that reddit decided to implement fairly early on. The database structure is unusual and not very conducive to indexing (it's similar to an EAV model), so at some point they decided to basically write their own "secondary indexing"-like system that stores the "listing indexes" in memcached/Cassandra (with the data itself in PostgreSQL).

Whenever something happens that affects any listings (new post created, voting, etc), the site figures out all the listings it needs to update, and where in each listing the affected post now belongs and updates them all. So for example, if you make a new submission to /r/pics, it will go through and add the post's ID in the right spot to the "new posts in /r/pics" listing, the "hot posts in /r/pics" listing, the "new posts by yourusername" listing, and so on. As it's going through and updating all these lists, it also trims each one down to 1000 items.

It's conceptually pretty similar to a normal database indexing system, but basically maintains all the indexes "manually" and restricts them all to the top 1000 items.

If you're curious enough to dig around in the code, this is probably the main relevant file: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/blob/master/r2/r2/l...

Why in the ever loving fuck are you blaming the _workers_ for this shortsightedness instead of the government organizations who are about to fuck those people over when they're 70?

I agree that there's a case for improved efficiency, but I'm not sure if the economies of developing all the tech from scratch adds up. One accident can endanger the entire company, a problem they're still reeling from with the bicyclist fatality. The car they were trying to automate has much better stopping (and overall safety) performance than any truck, yet they're still experiencing all the woes of developing new tech. Now imagine an automated truck accidentally punting a Grayhound buss full of band kids off the road.
