Even if it's surplus to requirements? It has a shelf life, demand is variable, and it's a better fate than simply throwing it away.

I'm a regular donor in the UK, and it also happens to our donations. It can be used as is, separated into different blood products (plasma, platelets etc.), or used for research purposes. It's not realistic to expect it only to be used for transfusions; there's a lot of uses for it in addition, and I can't see why you would want to control that.

The immunology research group I used to work in routinely received blood deliveries from the NHS blood service. It was used for HIV research if I recall correctly, and was done in partnership with the NHS.

Half of the problem with cars is a geometric one, they take up too much space. They give rise to sprawl and thus increase the demand for cars in a vicious cycle. Them being electric or self driving will not solve that.

"robots sophisticated enough to [...] improve on lackluster human perception"

This underlying misapprehension is at the root of the self-driving car hubris. Humans have remarkable perception of physical environments. The fact that electronic systems can beat humans handily on a few metrics has led to an entire industry built on the misconception that those few metrics are all that matter. But those were just the trivial bits.

The more sophisticated perceptual tasks--even the basic ones involved in the simplest self-driving task of traveling down a restricted access freeway--like correctly interpreting the behavior of other cars; interpreting whether the debris in the road constitutes a dangerous obstacle or something easily driven over; or even knowing which objects speeding toward you are moving and which are stationary--require more than just raw sensory input. There's a mountain of implicit cultural awareness embedded into all of those perceptual tasks that we haven't begun to form an idea how to represent in a software system. And again, this is the easy stuff!
It didn't fail because it was dark though.
The "hostile to pedestrians" is a feeling I get in many countries. When I'm walking somewhere I often have to walk at the side of the road where cars drive at least 50 km/hr and often honk at me or drive by dangerously close. It always makes me feel like I'm doing something illegal, or wrong.
Ha, we enjoy walking also and have to fend off a lot of offers for a ride.
Free resources shouldn't be an excuse to use them wisely.

I get your point, but it is not a good reason why we cannot do things better.
Taxi prices would have to be substantially lower for taxi to be a viable alternative.

Perhaps for some of the use cases there could be better utilization (meaning cheaper) taxi, e.g. a taxi picking up my kids for school could also pick up a few more.
According to Bank of America’s official data, the $302
billion bank charges $30 for outbound domestic wire transfer
and $35 for outbound international wire sent in foreign
currency.

But, Fedwire, the official real-time gross settlement funds

Reserve Banks that allows banks to electronically transfer
funds, charges $0.25 per transaction.

The bank, not FedWire, must cover the cost of fraud.
There is this book called CSS The Missing Manual, by David McFarland.

Although I did not finish it, I started it with regards to learn CSS properly (like you) and started to grasp some basic concepts (could not finish it though, due to procastrination). Honestly, I think the books delivers , maybe you could use it!

If you want clock noon in "the middle of the waking day", for some reason, then by your on admission, permanent-DST (+1hr) isn't going to solve your problem, either.

Once you decouple clock noon from physical noon, I don't see why it has to be 1 hour, or even a multiple of 1 hour.
Linus Torvalds takes a break from Linux
Maybe that's the problem. They teach you the core concept, then you graduate believing that it's just a concept to know and hard to use, because you think that programming with state machines forces you to think in small state transitions and you can't abstract.

This reminds me a bit of Fourier transformations from time- to frequency-domain.

Where an arbitrarily complex time-series signal can be accurately represented as the sum of various sine waves.

Except the OP deals with a discretized values, not real-number values, and the OP's approach lets the constituent palindromes start/end at an arbitrary offset, rather than having to be repeated continuously.
The microarchitecture matters. Even ARM's out of order reference cores are very slow compared to intel CPUs. Now take an obsolete decade old core at mediocre 1 GHz and you suddenly have something that is cheap but also extremely slow compared to even a raspberry pi 3 which is also slow as hell.
Whether it’s age or lack of skills can’t be the primary concern for someone who needs to provide for their family. The only thing that matters is if they can get another job. I’m in my 40s and if I got let go tomorrow. I am going to be reflective enough to make sure that there wasn’t anything I could have done differently and learn from mistakes on my next job, but as soon as I get to my car, I’m going to send my continuously updated resume to my list of recruiters so I can get another job.
Fantastic platform on which to base a synthesiser, music effects module, or some other such creative device.

I didn't know anything about Wayne Gretzy so I looked him up.. Started at 2, trained with siblings by father on home hockey rink..

But sure, not everybody can be No. 1, it would be silly to expect millions of 'talents comparable to Mozart', there can't be countless people in the NHL etc.

So... you sound disappointed, maybe. Did you put in '10,000 hours' and it didn't work out? I don't know much about the '10,000 hours' theory, less about how you think it's overhyped. People often have an idea that it's an unpleasant ordeal, all that practice, but if it's what you love, it's a pleasure. (I enjoyed every minute) Sure, I believe people have different levels of..how far they can go, but its importance is vastly overrated. Like much more important to me seems how much you enjoy practising, whether art, music, sport, anything, whether you love doing it more than anything, and do it for decades.

I've often thought that if I'd grown up living in a town, a popular kid etc I would have turned out 'untalented' in anything, except chatting and being popular; but I grew up fairly isolated on a farm, pre-internet, and so played piano a lot, read a lot etc. And I wasn't so happy, so playing piano was a great joy. Maybe if I'd been happy already, I wouldn't have 'needed' to play piano so much. I had very low self-esteem...thanks to bullying at home and at school, so...it was wonderful to escape to the beautiful world of music. I think factors like that, that influence how much you practice, how many hours you put in (though I never thought of it like that), how much you love doing it, are much more important than differences of natural ability.

Depending on how good that data is, this might be a data play where the data collected in a single repository is extremely valuable. Sell it to the military for operating when GPS is jammed. Sell it to mining companies, insurance companies for a detailed very large map of what lies below.
It seems that the city in this article strikes a great balance - parking on the periphery for people who commute in, but the city center is car-free. The same could work for the US midwest. You drive to the edge of Chicago and then take an (improved) subway in, for example.

Wireless is pretty cheap compared to wired, because you don’t need the wires and laying the wires is the expensive part.

If you can’t give people 25Mbit connections with your wireless technology, don’t sell them 25MBit connections.

But coincidentally typically the stuff where the ISPs have all these terribly difficult problems are the services that refuse to pay their extra fees. Kind of like what happens to restaurants that don’t pay the protection fee.

What would be productive is discussing the expertise of the author, or if you don't think that's of interest, not discussing it at all. I notice you posted the original article; I'm not criticizing you for posting it but perhaps this is getting personal?

Insulting commenters with derogatory names is unwelcome and lowers the quality of discussion; I don't care if you have a link to it. Tangentially, it is a good example of how even the smallest behavior by a leader, such as pg, set a norm for many followers: people are digging up his posts 6 years later like they are scripture - wisdom, law and conduct to study. pg is just a person, not a prophet; YC and HN are wonderful, but his every act is not wisdom or law. (No insult to pg; the same could be said of Linus Torvalds, Steve Jobs, and everyone else who ever worked in SV or lived on Earth, including me.)

> Credentials != expertise (one can be an expert by self-studying, in fact in CS many are)

Credentials are a strong, widely used sign of expertise. The CS experts who lack educational credentials are practitioners, professionals in the field; they have other credentials. The author is neither educated in the field nor is a professional or practitioner in it. Everyone else weighs those things heavily. Do you hire or take the advice of people with neither education nor experience in the domain?

The article in particular requires expertise: It's a series of rules of thumb, things that are gained only through extensive experience doing the task described. And it requires doing it with success - not all experience is good experience - and apply good analysis to that experience. Rules of thumb for physics research from someone who washed out are not the same as those from Stephen Hawking; how about rules of thumb from someone who never has studied nor practiced physics, but read some links? Again, if they wrote 'rules of thumb for evaluating code' on the same basis, it would be ridiculous.

In general, everyone knows that the Internet is full of people spewing nonsense they know nothing about, but even smart people often seem to fail to apply that to particular instances, especially when other psychological drives apply - such as when what is said moves or inflames them. The downvotes and criticisms (this is an observation, not a complaint) seem to be because my comment disrupts that drive (in this case, the inflammatory narrative about social sciences). That's ok and what I expected. My prediction is that if I wrote the same about a different topic, then the response would be different: If what I wrote agreed with the crowd (e.g., if the author said psychological research was high quality and I questioned their expertise), then I'd expect many to agree with me, but for the same bad reason. Inflammatory stuff is, disappointingly, still hard to talk about rationally.
Elderly people are often helped the most this type of change. People who can no longer drive can still get around by other means. My grandfather had a tricycle that he rode for many years after he became incapable of driving a car.
I could not disagree more. The input to an AV’s sensors, not just the data but what it represents and must be determined, is infinite. If your solution is to stop the car, you must also determine if that’s safe to do. It’s extraordinarily complex. This isn’t a factory.
I meant it more that they disrupted the pricing model shift they wanted to pull off than they were saints or anything. Capitalism works ideally when being selfish benefits others sort of thing. Per data pricing is something that doesn't seem too viable given lack of user control over it and ability to know ahead of time.
I wish your comment was closer to the top. I totally agree that if you're avoiding nulls this is the right way to do it. I wouldn't say it's right for everything, but when done correctly it makes for some really clean code.

Personally, I'm not directly against the small farmer nor the local butchery. But I'm shocked by what the big meat industry is doing. And I didn't have a clue until when I woke up recently.

The bigger problem is that eating meat, even if from small butchers, helps promoting meat consumption which, in turns, helps big industry continue making big money out of animal abuse and at the expense of everybody's natural environment.

Here you have what some former butchers have to say: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDg7tlEJD64&t=4213
I wish that were the case for all of Europe. I am willing to take the pay cut, but there are no real opportunities in southern Europe and if there are, the pay cut tends to be around 75%.
I'm not disappointed; I'm just tired of reading overly-reductive accounts that talk about how all that matters is practice and anybody can be God's gift to music if only they'd work hard enough at it. Ten thousand hours is a concept popularized by Malcolm Gladwell and he has a whole spiel about how anybody who was as excited about hockey as Wayne Gretzky could have been just as good.

My hobby these days is playing Tekken, which I guess is similar enough to piano in that you can practice forever and you've never totally mastered it.
> Managers are expected to coordinate, set priorities, negotiate about deadlines and scope of project, plan and re-plan, explain why we are going to be late, handle communication outside of team, clean up tracker, make sure testers are available, collect reports about who worked on what.

Much of that can and maybe should be done reactively. Set priorities when your employees need them. Negotiate deadlines and scope when they're needed for a decision. Communicate when it's needed. Etc.

You may not be literally twiddling your thumbs - I'm sure there's always something to be improved even in the quietest periods - but IMO the most important part of the manager role is to be available to resolve issues that do come up, and I'd take a manager who can do that well over one who's great at planning but can't react. As a technical analogy it's more like sysadmin/ops than development.
Open standards doesn’t magically solve compatibility issues for very complex software: I remember ODT files having their layout completely messed up when opening them with a different version of Open Office.

Aave Pocket basically allows to add IBAN accounts and virtual debit cards to applications. In other words, the platform can have own IBAN account, the application might have another IBAN account or even there might be use-case or even transaction specific IBAN accounts.

For example, micropayments platform might have their own IBAN account for fee collection and create for each task a task-specific IBAN account and even allow end-users to create their own personal IBAN accounts (which can be managed within the application on within any application that is part of the Aave Pocket network).

In the above example, end-user might create own IBAN account and after creating a task, an account is issued to the end-user's project and upon finishing the task, the task specific account deducts the platform fee and send the rest of the payments to the freelancer.

Due to the reason that all these participants are in the same settlement network, credit/ debit card fees are avoided, which is suitable for the above example.

Actually, what Aave Pocket is concretising is that when funds are transferred from one e-money account to another, it is simply a change in the database. By capturing online merchants/platforms and their end-users in to the same payments systems, lot of fees are avoided.

For the end-user it also means a leapfrog in the user experience, since currently challenger banks are focusing on providing mobile experience, whereas Aave Pocket is taking banking where users are spending or earning. I.e. I can manage my IBAN account in platforms, Online Stores or any where where the Aave Pocket is integrated. It is interesting to see how consumers would feel about paying bills from Netflix-like services or even Hackernews (for example).
That seems divisive if you ask me. Not that it is anyone's fault.

I have just always disagreed with the statement that social media is good for democracy because of the widening effect it has in the public discussion.

In reality there seems to be no such discussion. There seems to be a lot of clumping of people that agree on most things and little to no exchange in between.

Sure, but all you're doing is effectively paying for those yourself with the pay cut. It's not just about paying for day to day things, 50% pay cut is 50% less I get to invest.
You can be in favor for banning personal use vehicles without banning delivery and ambulances. And as you'll note the city in the article only banned cars in the city center, so talking about an hour outside of London is not relevant. If London banned cars in the city center you could drive to the closest rail station at the border of the exclusion zone and take public transport from there.
Well, that's where crumple zones come into play. Trying to have a computer calculate whether or not it is feasible to stop slower to avoid or reduce an imminent rear collision gets very complex in a hurry. What if the guy behind you is much smaller, or much bigger, what if his car has better crumple zones, or none, what kind of energy is he going to impart to you when he hits and where will that send you, who is at that location, etc. These are the kind of questions that can't be answered with certainty even when you give a supercomputer a few days to work it all out. So I think the only reasonable solution is to not expect self-driving cars to make any kind of moral decision. As a bonus it is much easier to explain in court and saves us endless pontificating on whether or not the computer made the right choice and who is actually responsible if it did not.

We tell humans not to swerve for squirrels, because it's a great way to end up dead, so the computer should get the same instruction. Slow down as you can, the prime directive is to maintain control.
You have also a good public transportation system in New York. There are many big cities with much worse traffic than NYC but there are simply no alternatives to cars.
