My thesis is that “better than human drivers” is an extremely difficult problem that even software professionals have massively underestimated the difficulty of.

It may not even be possible to solve without something radical like banning human drivers or inserting electronic nodes directly into our roads and infrastructure to aid autonomous vehicles. The existence of human drivers might make the problem simply impossible to solve in a way acceptable to society.
My company is was full on into GCP and after a year of terrible support management suddenly decides to go all in into Azure. We use every managed service from GCP including BigQuery which is nearly impossible to find a replacement of in Azure. Appengine needs to be converted to Azure Kubernetis Service. So its not a technical decision completely, just that company signed a bigger deal with Microsoft and wants to pay a single bill. Based on feedback from other teams company feels Azure support is way more professional when it comes to production outage. Now all of 3 years work sing Google services needs to be re-written in "cloud agnostic" way.
The physics limit is a misleading talking point that always comes up when justifying throttling and not providing what was promised. If physics were truly the limiting factor dense cities would have the worst data quality and rural areas the best. Instead cities have the best short of overwhelming events like tech conventions and disasters.

The cell footprints are adjustable. A localized network of smaller area cells can handle more people and data than one big tower which covers a broad area.

Reminds me of one Vice President of Verizon who visited and tried to bullshit classes of electrical and computer engineers about the end of unlimited data as a technical necessity. Competition intervened via I believe T-Mobile and suddenly it wasn't a problem although Wall Street got pissy about the decreased margins.
Explain to me how I’m going to get referrals from the people I’m working for? If I ship reliable, high quality software, they have every incentive to keep me.

I mean, old coworkers could potentially be a source of referrals, but not really.
Distances in a lot of the US (I live in Texas) are such that I don't see cars disappearing. What might happen is more short-term renting of cars.

But a lot of American cities were built around the automobile, so they would need a lot of changes to function in a post-automobile world. That makes such a transition much less likely. I think it would work better in older, East Coast and mid-western cities that largely predate the automobile.
not really related to the project specifically and kind of a small nit pick, but I wish projects like these would add a one line description of what the project is/does at the start on their major announcements. Just sneak in the words "Open source collaborative project management software" somewhere in the opening paragraph and the whole announcement becomes a lot clearer for those of us who first hear about the project via links like this.

I find the Null Object Pattern and hiding nulls to be dangerous. Why pretend or give the illusion that something exists when it doesn't?

I prefer explicit checks. I don't mind `Maybe` because that's still explicit and enables you to chain operations, avoiding repetitive null checking; the consumer must still handle the null case.
There was the author, Bill Bryson, moving back to the US after a few decades un the UK. He would take a stroll, and his neighbors would constantly offer a ride, thinking his car broke down or something.
As one of these so called "white flight" people, I can't describe how much such statements frustrate me. I didn't move from the city because I'm a racist or don't want to be around people of color. I don't want to be around people period. Living in the city stresses me out. The constant noise, the issues with drunk people randomly knocking on my door at 2am, the couple of times I woke up to people fighting in the parking lot, the sirens, the random music festival 3 blocks over that I didn't know about, the fact I had 2 motorcycles stolen in 5 years, my kids not having a convenient place to play outside and more led to me leaving the city.

I didn't move because I'm white, I moved because I wanted peace and quiet. Most of the people I know who live around me moved away from the city for the same reason. Amazingly, non white people feel this way too...

I've done that before, when the Yen:Dollar exchange rate was brutal, I think in 2012, Japanese premium fuel was pushing $7.50-$8/gallon. In 1990's sedans with turbocharged engines, city driving, and a heavy foot.....yeah you're getting <20mpg and spending $3-400 per month too.....totally worth it. Japanese sports sedans are awesome.

Also the birth rate of the source population (Syria) is 2.5x. Germany is 1.5x. It's not really that far apart. Between that and the drop in the birth rate after the first generation, and the conversion out of Islam that will start happening as later generations assimilate and intermarry with locals, I doubt if there will be a substantial change in the Muslim population over the long term.
I live in Chicago and I only NEED a car once or twice a year. I walk to work. I can walk to the blue or red line trains which will get me just about anywhere else I need. There are a few grocery stores on my walk home from work. There's great coffee shops and restaurants near me.

I uber home when it's late and I've been drinking but that's really the only time I'm in a car.

I know I've got a somewhat special situation as I chose my apartment based on it's walk ability. However I've lived in other parks of the city and I had similar a similar experience. It just took a little longer to get places sometimes.

I believe eventually cars will be a shared service. Automated cars that will arrive whenever I need one. That will be the day.

I share the same desire, but since we put price tags on land, it would be a tremendous effort to collect funds to buy land back and most people just don't have the incentive to make that happen. It's just a fantasy.
I don't know how it is outside of Canada, but here in Toronto what drives me insane is that Cities are essentially completely beholden to the province and it makes everything worse.

Something simple like setting up a toll to use city streets to reduce congestion is completely off the table. We end up highly taxing corporate zoned housing to try to kinda indirectly tax the work place of the suburbanites that are making a mess of our city, but it's only a partial fix and it's distortionary.

Meanwhile, people that actually live in Toronto pay way more in income tax than people that live outside of it, and our taxes are indexed to inflation, unlike the petrol taxes. Add in the three way split of the left vote and the FPTP system and we end up with a vindictive moron in charge of the province fucking up representation by changing our riding map in the middle of a city election.

Cars have ruined so many things. The amount of times a car has honked at me for not putting my own life in danger because I need 5 seconds to get to a safer place to pull over with my bike is crazy. I'm not "taking a lane" I'm just keeping myself from getting doored.

Imagine if cars had never been invented and we could have stuck with trains for everything? Way more green space. Way healthier population. Way more 4 or 6 story buildings. Way more parks. Way less time wasted behind the wheel. Fewer deaths. No road rage.

And what would we have to give up?

3000 sqft suburban houses and their shitty pools that get used 5 times a year. Instead of watching TV at night alone at home people could walk over to their friends place or go out to a cute restaurant or well groomed park.
How about more frequent deliveries like stores or restaurants that need to get deliveries every few days?
I get it, I make broad aesthetic choices about my technology too. Especially to avoid picking up an ecosystem I'd otherwise get to avoid ... so I'll add my own sterotypes.

I recently saw a delivery service for that kind of stuff (kind of "Bier Taxi") using small electric vehicles in our 180k city.
Scaling this to a "local grocery mail order service" could be a nice business model for a car-free city: Supporting local businesses AND avoiding having to carry 5 crates of beverages for the next party.

I think Rewe (a supermarket chain) is doing something like this in (parts of) Germany; but I believe they use gas-driven cars.

Is there something like that in your city?
I don't think it was sarcasm but they were making the same point. It's whimsical and excited and uncool. This will get you cachet among mathematicians though :)
In defence of not invented here syndrome
Gotta love the close mindedness of developers.
Agreed. And I wouldn't consider myself to be nit-picky regarding design, as I mostly read Reddit for the content in specific subs.

Despite some questionable design decisions my main grip with the new design is that it often just does not work at all. I rarely alter default options in software but I had to use old.reddit.com quite often to even use the site:

- sometimes the whole page does not work because of cookie issues
- sometimes posts don't load (I have to manually refresh)
- sub's sidebars missing: there was often useful information (might be the job of the moderators though)
- unable to do local search (CTRL-F) due to endless scroll

Regarding my last point, Reddit is not the only culprit and many websites unfortunately switch to this style - hopefully at least Google keep their pagination - but I find it terrible.

With traditional pagination you can CTRL-F for keywords, go to the next page, and repeat the process, but with endless-scroll content is usually loaded dynamically depending on your viewport, so it's nearly impossible to search in a reliable way.
Or gives you nothing to work with. If your only skill was "working at a gas station" and you got fired from a gas station, you better hope that there are more opportunities for working at another gas station, cause you aren't taking a "sabbatical" from minimum wage to enhance your skills to move up.
Yes, but nobody would want to go back to Windows 3.1 now, and new users get put off by old-looking pages. There can be real advantages to those redesigns.

Multi-Cloud can be hard to do right and there are plenty of traps along the way. It sure doesn't make sense to go that way just for Disaster Recovery, unless you need to be prepared for the unlikely event that Amazon or Google will suddenly get wiped out of the planet.

That said, going Multi-Cloud is indeed unavoidable in a growing number of settings. So, instead of looking at it as a source of troubles, it can be leveraged as a way to extract the best features out of each provider, to avoid lock-in wherever it makes business sense and to minimize costs by distributing workloads accordingly. That introduces new issues regarding access control, cost analysis, auditing and governance which are best managed by a Multi-Cloud Management Platform.

Pontevedra mild climate? MediteWHAT? Please, take a map of Spain and comment again. Spain among Portugal is what you see when you cross over the Atlantic from the US.

Pontevedra is in Galicia, northern Spain. Here it rains like UK, and even worse. No Sun except a very few weeks a year.

Not all Spain is sunny, and not all the US is like California, Texas or Florida. You would freeze in Castille or Aragon in Winter. You would pray to see the sunlight in Asturias, Galicia or any region of the Bay of Biscay.
Another example, this[1] music producer's kid developed perfect pitch despite the lack of any training. He was exposed to a rich variety of complex music right from the start. When the dad discovered his son's ability, he found out that the kid had his own names for the notes. IIRC, based on which song begins with that note. I think it's quite likely that if the dad had spent all his days composing music, the son would have been doing that from an early age as well.

I question whether there is actually a "spirit of Reddit;" it seems like a clearinghouse of wildly different communities with different values and tastes.
No because the contract you have with them has no enforceable SLA and you can't really prove any damages.
I live in the southwest of Germany, 500km from the coast as the crow flies. I cycle-commute year-round, around 5km each way. It's no problem if you have a good rain jacket and rain pants, and a down jacket, gloves and a hat (that fits below a helmet) against the cold in winter.

If 2 is not a palindrome, because if you prepend 0 it loses its palindrome properties, then no number is a palindrome. 121 cannot be a palindrome because 121 can also be written as 0121, and therefore it’s not a palindrome.

Further, there is nothing “unfair” about 0. It’s a real distinction. 002 is the same thing as 2. 112 is not the same thing as 2. So it’s not an unfair property. It’s a real distinction.
Would you prefer 11111+11111+33333 instead?

Just to clarify, there is no law that I know of prohibiting car traffic on yom kippur in Tel Aviv. However, since this is the most important holiday of the year, even many Israelis who don't celebrate other holidays will celebrate this one. I believe that virtually all businesses are closed that day, even those that don't close on other Jewish holidays (again, not illegal to operate, but customary). So in practice, few people will be driving that day/night.
IMO you didn’t lose out here.

1. You got to work closely with 2 highly engaged customers. The value of the product development research you did with them is probably worth more than your debt, if you ever decide to build something similar again.

2. You actually built something they wanted and were willing to pay a huge lump sum for. Many startups never get to this point. You now know you have the ability to create something highly valuable. Don’t take the confidence that comes from that for granted. It’s worth more than $50k in the startup world, in my opinion.

I’m curious, knowing you’d created something valuable at the time, did you continue to try to sell it in the years after the 2 original companies left you?
I don't get why this comment is so down voted. Do you guys all find the idea that collaborating with the mafia may be a bad idea so hard to figure out?

Generally speaking, about 2-5 acres is enough. Most rural build to suit lots are in this range. A square mile is a ludicrous amount of land and not at all typical for rural living. If you have that much land, you're a farmer, have had it given to you, a significant portion is unuseable, there's a large pond/lake on the property, or you're just eccentric. Even out in the country, there's an amount that's practical and beyond that is just a waste. Once you get over 30 acres, it really starts to become silly.

I think it's a nice idea, but I think I am unsure as to what exactly your product does.

It seems you issue IBANs on-demand and manage the accounts behind them, so you're essentially an API-driven bank?

And with events you allow people to for example tie certain programmatic functionality to things like when money is deposited, correct?

I think there's a lot of potential for an idea like this but I am just wondering about some of these details.

In that same Wired story that is the source for the blurb at the heart of this one is the most Steve Jobs tale ever told.

Scott Forstall tells that Steve always insisted on paying for lunch for both of them every time they ate in the company cafeteria together.

Scott felt bad about making Steve wait for him at the checkout if he ordered something customized that took longer to prepare.

However, Steve insisted because he was paying by swiping his employee badge which automatically debited against your next pay period.

Since Steve was paid in stock, with only a one dollar a year salary there was nothing for the company accounting system to debit against, so although he was "the man" at Apple he took a perverse pleasure in simultaneously sticking it to the man.

A few years back I took a trip to Sapporo over the New Year's holiday. It snowed ~3 inches per day the entire week I was there. I consider myself pretty comfortable with cold weather (I went up there so the girl I knew could teach me to snowboard). I'll be damned if I ever agree to give up a private auto in favor of biking in that sort of weather. I didn't even like her FWD Kei car, and wished I was in an AWD Lancer Evolution or Subaru WRX instead.
I think this is a good argument against DST. I realized a few years ago that I don't need to wear a watch because I'm never in any place that doesn't have a clock. Unfortunately, a lot of clock don't get changed promptly for DST.

Here in Seattle, it seems the transit clocks are always changed a month or two (!) after each DST change. Some public clocks never get changed. There's a significant fraction of the year where I simply can't trust any clock I see.

It's still the responsibility of the ISP to deliver connectivity to other hosts on the internet at their promised speed, regardless what is necessary to do so or how it operates internally. That's the service that they are advertising to the consumer.

If UPS decided to change the way they internally route their packages, it doesn't mean that they can just brush off promised delivery dates because "it doesn't work how you think it does." I think that's the point the OP was making.
CRI-O is now our default container runtime interface
I’m from Europe but I lived in Houston during my college years. I had to use my car to go almost anywhere. It was the opposite of freedom. No matter what whenever I left my apartment I had to get into my car, drive it and then park it somewhere. If it was rush hour I was at the mercy of traffic. At times (e.g. Sunday mornings) it was pleasant. But often it was suffocating.

Now I’m back in Europe and I feel free when I’m moving around a city. I might take public transportation one way and walk back to my apartment. I can get a call from my friend in the afternoon and go out for some whisky without having to drive back to my apartment and taking a cab.

I don’t know where I’ll live in the future but I’d be happy if I didn’t need to own a car.
That may be true logically, but I don't think it is workable politically.

People are conditioned to accept that we will kill each other with cars every once and a while. I'm skeptical we will get to the point any time soon where the general public hears about a family killed by a self driving car and just shrugs it off. There will be intense pressure to get them off the road.
