I think it’s important to distinguish between a self driving car that can work in every scenario, and a self driving car that can take over part of the time. Personally, if someone could make a car that was extremely good at highway driving so it could sit in traffic for me and drive on the highway (basically if Tesla autopilot actually worked and was 99.9999% safe) that would be AMAZING. that’s good enough for me. I don’t need a car that can self drive in the snow.
This is just FUD and conjecture - this isn't reddit, it's ycombinator.
Microsoft doesn't make their money off a percentage take at all.
No one hates China. People rightly point out that the government doesn’t provide rule of law and stands against our values. That we don’t do this consistently with all offenders is because China is the biggest threat right now. Russia has much less clout and power than China, for example.

There are a lot of cases where using par_iter wouldn't be correct even without unsafe. If you are doing anything with side-effects par_iter would execute the side effects out of order.
I suspect most who do also don't feel like dealing with all their day job BS just to run a blog. Not when they can just use a hosted platform, or throw things up on S3 or something.
Sure, the US has considerable leverage over the sorts of things people are allowed to launch into space, but I have a hard time believing it could maintain a similar degree of control over ground-based telescopes.
And my wife's MacBook randomly freaks out when plugged into an external display.

Apple laptops have their fair share of hardware issues. Windows laptops tend to have more due to a shorter product cycle. Apple has longer relationships with their parts vendors and thus they have more time and leverage to force good firmware onto the multitudes of independent chips that make up a modern day computer.
For my capstone class for my CS BS, we had to write a compiler that compiled to machine code that the virtual machines we wrote could run. I can't remember the name of the book, but we called it "The Dragon Book." Looking in the other comments, it looks like someone already linked it.

They're different.
The original article definitely read like

I decide to turn the lights off in a shared office without checking with anyone else, but my office-mate assures me that he wasn't the one who ratted me out
Yeah, or just that it's actually really difficult to take care of people who don't want to operate inside of any sort of reasonable framework.
Stars that can produce elements up to iron and spread it through a supernova are massive and have relatively short lifespans of 10-30 million years. Since the Universe is 14 billion years old, we have had already more than a hundred generations of such stars before a 10-billion years-old planet has formed, so the necessary elements are probably there.
I think we underestimate how amazingly versatile even an 85 year old grandmother's brain truly is.

I am certain AVs will work EVENTUALLY. And that will radically change the economy.

But robotic killing machines will be working long before that happens. And you can bet somebody is working on that.

Maybe we're focusing on the wrong things.
Reading some of the FUD and conjecture I thought maybe I was on reddit for a second...
So, providing it's world-beating expertise (vs a less-capable local team) to the practical implementation of CCP's totalitarian goals of surveillance and information restriction is not helping implement these goals?

Seriously? Talk about naive, that's textbook.

"Realpolitik" -- you may be right about that, since the first definition is "a system of politics or principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations."

In short, you say it is great as long as you consider only practical issues, and ignore all moral or ethical considerations.

So, you are either trolling to assist the CCP's goals or are simply advocating for behaving without ethics or morals. Which is it?

And I can assure you that outrage against helping totalitarian/authoritarian regimes is neither naive or disingenuous, at least for ethical people.

I suggest reading people who have actually lived in and fought such regimes, such as Garry Kasparov, former World Chess Champion and Russian Presidential candidate -- people who've actually been there, done that, buried their friends.

I assure you, they know the real score, and have zero tolerance for "realpolitik" bullst.
I got towed in Minneapolis on a Sunday because the Wisconsin DMV put a flag in the computer system for my license plate. The flag was to remind the Wisconsin DMV to make sure my address was updated next time I came in. The towing company refused to release my car until I was able to get the Wisconsin DMV on the phone with them (Monday afternoon) to verify that my registration was paid up (it was) and I still had to pay the impounding fee (~$200) and had to take 8 hours of vacation because I couldn't drive home Sunday night like I had planned and thus couldn't go to work on Monday.

That is what privatization of law enforcement with a financial incentive to “find crimes” leads to.
I was just flying over LA on sunday and had to take a picture of this "single house ocean":

fyi, the XR is in the same class as the XS Max, it's just 2x instead of 3x. The XR will still give you both more vertical and horizontal space than the XS, all software will present the same as the Max with the split view showing up in landscape, and it's cheaper.

The only benefits to the Max over the XR are:

- even harder to see pixels (not that you'd notice them on the XR)

- 3d touch

Damn. So many hates. Well, very few people will be able to relate to this post I made. I hope I garnered some respect from those clone-humans for people who actually provide entropy to the world though. New information is important
I don't know exactly how the safety systems on gas work, but its a good question.
That is because we could "see" it. Imagine if we were not able to see. Could we have known the existence of EM?

Or think if we were not able to hear. Could we have imagined the sensation of sound, or the concept of music?

Human beings are so pathetically stupid that they think that their intelligence and sensory capability are at the limits of what is possible.
> There is nothing inherent to capitalism that stresses short term growth vs. long term growth

It rewards people that focus on short term growth and punishes people that think long term, that sounds pretty inherent to me.

Just like the human self interest that allows capitalism to thrive short term thinking is another human quirk it exploits.
I don't understand your point here. If your degree has a return on investment it means that you can pay back your loans because you have a higher paying job that was a direct result of your degree. You will go into a ton of debt to become a nurse but you will make up your investment in salary eventually. If you spend 100k dollars on an art history degree from Univ. of South Carolina Aiken your job prospects have not changed from someone who never attended college at all.

More and more disadvantages seem to come out against plastic every year, not to mention the environmental impact they have.

When you present it that way, it sounds absolutely reasonable. But this is almost exactly what Trump says in his speeches. He doesn't hate China, he understands why they are doing what they're doing. But now it is time for us to stand up for ourselves economically, and look out for our own best interests. Think what you will about him, but on international trade he is not treated fairly. When Trump does to China 10% of what they do to us, he is portrayed as some sort of lunatic.
I don't think its related.
I guess rockets are a kind of aircraft. That's working.
China has been waging economic war against the US for decades, stealing IP, syphoning off wealth from the American middle class in order to attempt and establish their own. All while throwing people in political prisons, threatening the territorial integrity of their neighbors, putting the whole of Africa in debtor's prison, etc. And it's only just begun.

You are asking with a straight face why the above isn't looked upon in the same way as the actions of Phillipines, Nigeria or Germany? Seriously?
This is what it's like in many cities across Australia - personally I don't find it particularly unusual.
Clipboard... Time to lawyer up.
Up to a point, yes. But fundamentally a regulator consists of a pipe in and a pipe out with a valve in the middle controlled by the downstream pressure. A high enough pressure in the input pipe can rupture the valve seals (which are rubber). Then the full pressure goes into the downstream pipe (which isn't rated for high pressure) and it leaks.

The system should have safety overpressure relief valves, but obviously something went wrong.
For blogs that are “small” and/or expect low traffic, if someone doesn’t want to use free services, my recommendation would be a static site generator that pushes content to a site on Nearly Free Speech (nearlyfreespeech.net). It has a very simple way to create (and continuously renew) a letsencrypt TLS certificate. The cost would be USD 1.5 a month (or a bit higher than that) for what’s classified as a “production site” there.

One drawback with NFSN is that it requires people to be somewhat tech savvy and know how to manage sites, probably use ssh, etc. If you’re someone who can use S3 or this solution, then you’ll find NFSN easier and cheaper for this use case.

Not infrastructure.

Industrial espionage is confirmed, industrial sabotage are wild speculations with no proof behind them.

> And then of course, there is the ultimate infrastructure hack

Snark aside if you genuinely believe this you are helping delegitimize all US institutions. This is birtherism 2.0.

First, they have mass, hence travel slower than the speed of light, which means they are less effective.

Second, it is very hard to detect neutrinos, which means they are very bad communication medium.

As everyone else said Texas does have zoning, but it turns out that just having quite high property taxes (and no income tax) leads to a flatter income distribution and more affordable housing.

It’s also hot and not that pretty (I’m from Austin okay so don’t shoot the messenger!) and there’s a relative abundance of buildable land, all of those things make it a little easier to manage growth.

But Texas has sprawled like crazy and the central cities are still struggling with overheated housing (especially in austin) within the urban, semi-walkable areas, because they aren’t building any more of that stuff.

In my working experience, mainly with small companies: if you consistently deliver good value, management and other employees shield you from most of the BS out there. If you don’t provide as much value you get to deal with the unpleasantries of this world.
The main hedges for the financial system breakdown are physical gold, silver and (my personal favourite, although much riskier) Bitcoin (though make sure you use a hardware wallet if you want to own it).
I understand why the teacher in this case hid the coding requirements of the course. His reasoning makes sense. But I'm not sure it was ethical misrepresenting the course even for the students own benefit.
That’s the basic model for the XBox with Microsoft selling it for a loss at the beginning and making it up from a cut of software and peripheral sales.

The App Store’s 5% cut is not currently a major revenue stream for them, but it’s still revenue and would be a big deal for most companies. https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-store-taking-5-cut...

You know what? You just made me realize that I would be willing to pay for a "news" site that strive to be objective and explain important subjects and events intelligently. No click bait, no emotional masturbation, no BS articles that reads like a novel, no puff pieces, no "story-driven journalism".

In other words, no noise. Only signal.
Iraq and Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria are all debated vociferously in this country, and though they have taken a back seat to the shitshow of our current presidency, they are absolutely contentious issues in academia, foreign policy circles, and in public. To say that the American people somehow don’t have these discussions is absurd. Furthermore, your implication seems to be that because the US government does things that are morally wrong, Americans who believe in human rights are somehow not credible when they criticize other governments in addition to their own. That is absolutely nonsense.
In fact, there’s more to it than that. While there are large collaborations, that’s basically the first thing they filter out. There are a significant number of people who seem to collaborate a lot (and, they note, don’t sleep much), without being in large collaborations.

I don't have complete control over every government in the world. It is perfectly reasonable for me to criticize the way that companies act, even if it is incentivized by a government. People do not have to be mindless money maximizers. They have a choice in how they act and they are responsible for their own actions regardless of what incentives the government creates.

Is it unethical to do something if all parties are happy? Does it only become unethical when a party has been tricked and become unhappy, or is tricking somebody even for their own good unethical? In that case, what would be your definition of ethics?

Ask HN: Are there good part time options for an experienced web developer?
I keep finding myself thinking that I'd be a lot happier sacrificing working time for salary. I'd love to find an opportunity where I cut my working hours and salary in half.

I've been in the agency grind doing full stack development for the last five years so I do have a good amount of experience. I work remotely in a smallish suburban city (population around 200,000). I like my work but would love to be able to have more time for family, side projects, etc.

Just curious if anyone else has thoughts, suggestions or experiences about finding stable part time work in this field.

It is only strictly less reliable than having your own infrastructure if you assume the same level of organizational competence at running your own infrastructure as the IaaS has at running theirs.

That is certainly possible for an organization to achieve, but it isn't easy and it isn't cheap. It certainly can't be taken for granted.
Not really, racing carts is primarily about the ability to control the thing under very well defined conditions (read: much better than your average 3 lane highway with hundreds of other road users) with other road users with the exact same end goal.
> This is just ahistorical politics and jingoism under pretense of some greater cause. When China was making its great leap forward entire groups of minorities were segregated in the US and were fighting for their basic rights and continue to face discrimination.

The United States learned its lesson to an extent, and our voters and leaders grappled with a moral question of how to live harmoniously in our difference. We certainly haven't solved that problem, but we have made progress, and we are trying. This is FAR better than China. China does not care whether they are evil, and feel no shame for oppressing their minorities. The very fact that in the west we have these discussions, and Chinese do not, is an indicator of the robustness of our culture.

China is actually stepping up their apartheid, using the latest technology we sold them to treat their minorities like livestock, forcing them to endure dehumanizing treatment in their own homeland.

Your post is filled with exaggeration and lies.

Yes, western countries make terrible mistakes, but then our citizens have protests and vote our leaders out. China does not.

> How do humans handle edge cases anyways?

30,000 deaths per year suggest that humans fail at these edge cases all the time. Maybe ate their best a human outperforms a machine but as any person who drives if other drivers are at their best.
Look at other people's videos of driving through that section of road around the same time - the pedestrian would have been clearly visible and the car and safety driver should both have easily seen them and stopped. If you read about the preliminary NTSB report [1], it's clear that the car had six seconds of warning and 1.3s of certainty of impact, yet did nothing to avoid it, not even alerting the safety driver. The pedestrian may have been foolish, but the car could easily have avoided killing them.
