HN readers are mostly imagining growing botique organic heirloom vegetables and that sort of thing- high end, high margins, very possibly as a hobby farm. Nobody here writing about how they want to work on a farm is imagining monocropping ten thousand acres of corn or living hand to mouth subsistence farming. IMO.
Thanks, to be clear I tried Autopilot's street capabilities in a non-busy area, so the risk of anyone getting hurt was pretty low. I'm still bullish on electric/hybrid cars and plan to get one in the future.

Appreciate the extra info on supercharging, good to know.

I think the misunderstanding of Autopilot came from a few things:

- The hype you mention around Tesla and some of the language they use.

- My own mistake in conflating self-driving technologies that Google, Uber, Lyft (Cruise), etc. are working on with Tesla's.

- Videos like this posted on Tesla's site two years ago: https://www.tesla.com/videos/full-self-driving-hardware-all-.... Notice the car fully stops at intersections in that video.
As morbid as it might sound, I am curious what the heart rate wavefunction looks like for a murder victim. The investigators must have had some pause while seeing the plot of someones final struggle visualized as a function of 1 variable.. How does someone who is 90 have the tenacity to kill someone? Really mortifying case...

On a different note, a new product stands to be created based on this kind of morbid data + ML. We should have an open database of cardiac events and all wear devices that immediately send for help via E911/Location when an event with a morbidity p-value > C is detected. Seems like a no brainer if we care about protecting everyone optimally.

Does anyone know if a database of cardiac events exists from which to train a NN?
Sounds like there is a miscommunication about what your role is and possibly what each of you mean by "devops".

The Long Road Ahead for Magic Leap and AR
In the early days of personal computing, things like AppleScript, HyperCard, and Basic, were used by the typical computer user. Computer users were rather self-selected, had invested a lot of money to own a computer, and generally bought into the promise of computing as a “bicycle for the mind.” The iPhone opened the floodgates, bringing TONS of people to computing for the first time, and it resulted in a shift from computing as a creation medium, to one of consumption. It’s interesting to see it start to come full circle. It’s taken about a decade, but something that used to be mainstream in computing (programming your machine to do something interesting interesting / useful) is on the cusp of becoming mainstream once more.
It's perfectly fine to just use css-loader to handle CSS modules. No need for babel. Just do:

import styles from "./style.css";

Well, the point is that it’s 60x more expensive.
Who said wrong? I think it's funny to see. Loosen up downvoters.

It's not like Unix was hidden somewhere for the last 50 years. It's just that Windows users didn't seem to bother. For what it's worth the OS course at my former university did cover Unix and NT (based on the Stallings book).
Lens resolution doesn't necessarily translate to maximum image sharpness in particular shooting scenarios, digital or otherwise.

For instance, when subjects are not neatly aligned near a narrow plane orthogonal to the lens axis, employing a bit of lens tilt may enable shooting at a considerably larger aperture without losing focus on any of the subjects.

In such cases, as a result of diffraction effects at larger apertures, a tilt/shift (or view camera) lens that fares comparatively poorly in resolution tests may nevertheless produce a sharper image of the subjects than a lens without movements could ever hope to produce, even in theory.

Yet many feel tilt/shift effects are overused and passé, and mistakenly believe they are always achievable in post…

U. S. gallons. My car is a large luxury performance sportwagon.

There are no cities with full bans on Euro III diesels or any diesel yet that I'm aware of or been denied entry in Sweden, and those few cities in Germany that do have them have only implemented partial restrictions.

The bans are not real, it's all just political maneuvering in order to get cheap votes.

Such an appropriate post for this article. It seems that we could expand the argument supporting mediocrity beyond the scope of hobbies and include parenthood as well.
I work for neither company but know people at both and think that this is highly inaccurate. Though there will be operational redundancy both companies make most of their revenue from support contracts and professional services since they provide a mostly FOSS product. Services and support are the two most heavily labor intensive parts of the tech industry every customer requires x amount of labor present. Additionally internal engineers paid to contribute to the FOSS products are still needed. Because both companies have been benifitting from the contributions of both teams of engineers for years. Since Horton has no closed source products it has very few redundant engineering resources.
How to be a good husband.

It took pushing my marriage to nearly the point of breaking to realize that my obsession with work, lack of participation in the house, and aggressive/demanding interpersonal communications was only leading to a dead end.
I do, because my manufacturer is a supercool Japanese company. Japanese diesels for life!

I trust physics and chemistry, that's what I trust: when you elongate the exhaust manifold and manage to cool the exhaust down enough, you end up not even needing to inject Urea and still have an Euro VI compliant diesel.

It's the only company selling diesel passenger vehicles in Japan right now, with such a good motor that it's beloved by taxi drivers there. Which company is it, and what is the engine called?

Ah, there I was thinking someone had data and not simply their opinion.
Well we’ve found a lot of other things in that same timespan, for reference.
Fun fact: Einstein's 1905 papers were published in Annalen der Physik without any peer review [1]. I think at that period, the number of incoming papers were small in numbers that editors can go through themselves and make decisions. The journal had 90-95% acceptance rate. However by 1936, journal Physics Review required peer reviews and Einstein faced the double blind review for the first time [2]. However he refused to subject himself to "anonymous" expert and went to publish the paper somewhere else. Although he did incorporated some of the reviewer's critic :).

People also thought there was no way Trump would be elected. It's not just the US, but Hungary, Poland, the UK (Brexit), and many, many countries with problems with right-wing populist nationalists. Imagining it will fix itself seems pretty dangerous. Either diagnose the problem, organize and act, or it will get worse. Much of the Internet and many people I know won't even discuss it, which puts us a long way from what needs to be done.
Good points. Also, the strange case of access-control-allow-origin containing a list of origins. Or rather the lack of support for the whole standard.
I agree, the only thing I have ever found with CORS is that it makes it difficult for people who don't consider it when planning out servers should run. It goes like this:

- Just use my API...

- I tried, please enable CORS.

- What's CORS?

I find it frustrating that this seems to be the default for most servers. I think it should be opt in and not opt out.
As a technologist who’s gotten into farming (specifically permaculture and agroforestry), I think it’s great that we’re exploring all avenues to keep up with feeding the billions of people on the planet, but I think we’re also giving up a lot of what makes us human the more we distance ourselves from the land, and from food production.
No, I'm suggesting that management and the union seem to disagree on who exactly has the higher performance in this situation.

Of course I don't, nobody does.
Did you happen to price up an SS commodore before they stopped selling them? Or look at the price of a Landcruiser? Very expensive vehicles yet the roads are plastered with them.
What I am looking forward to is when someone tries to start cloning process on a human being.

When I was a kid, in 1990s, there was a lot of fuss around cloning. Most people rejected it as unethical. I wonder how far the state of the art has come since then in cloning technology.

I am guessing that cloning maybe a real chance for humans to become immortal or atleast live longer lives.
If, like Costco, you refuse to sell to poor people, yes, you can get a much better profit margin.

But poor people still need food and various other necessities. I'm not convinced it's possible to pay high wages and also serve poor people.
I've injured myself before, so that I was relatively helpless, and found that to be true. Maybe because I accepted that I had nowhere to go nothing to do except to let my kids sit on my back watching perp and the big wide world.
I think you missed my point, which is that management and the union seem to disagree on who exactly most deserves a promotion.
What if the drone was heavier or impacted somewhere else more critical? Drone is pretty much a mini aircraft so it has to be regulated somehow.. which i believe is being done already!
Ostro Project is reaching END OF LIFE and will be shut down
It seems like you're conflating several things. Productivity of the worker is different from the UX of the store brand and neither have anything to do with the job role.

A checkout operator at Costco can be 2x as efficient as a checkout operator at Walmart while having a completely different customer UX (both the worker and the store itself) and being paid different wages. So what? Walmart and Costco serve different markets and sell different products so of course they will be differently run businesses.

Nothing about this is abnormal so I don't understand your comparison. They are not interchangeable other than looking at them as general retail companies.
What makes you ask that question?
Both companies make most of their money providing professional services. I was going to touch on EMR but I think the “small team” comment is a better differentiator. When you have a large cluster with a large volume of workloads distributed computing becomes much less forgiving. The algorithm that was so fast and so valueable when you first deployed suddenly becomes a bottle neck for the rest of your operations because not enough time was spent thinking about partition strategies... Horton and Cloudera have made their money giving big companies advice when they get in over their heads. It’s rarely in the beginning but usually several years after companies have made a hard commitment to Hadoop and distributed computing.
I also hope that his design will be good enough.
I think the disagreement is that a new worker who is skilled and hard working wants compensation to be based on output. An older worker who has been there for awhile wants compensation to be based on seniority. Workers with big families and medical problems want better benefits while single healthy folks want more cash. The disagreements are that different people want different things.

Coming from an old-school Italian family, reading this article felt like it could just as well have been about one of my parents or cousins. They hold familial grudges forever, serve revenge ice cold, and murder is not particularly off-limits - especially when you're already nearly dead of old age yourself.

I thought that remark on the author's part was a bit flippant and uncharitable. The Romanian flight attendant, for example, was there to learn how to better empathize with her clientele, not to learn how to fool them.

Actually a pretty interesting article. Everyone who has ever met with an investor, for instance, has an interest in the underlying social dynamics. That appreciation seems to be what this sort of school tries to impart, rather than merely training people to disguise themselves as heiresses or whatever.
Ask HN: How much is too little? Early startup equity
I am developer #5 or less at a seed-funded startup dealing with both hardware and software led by an entrepreneur with successful $250M+ exits in the past. I have been the sole developer of the mobile app to a successful launch meeting extreme timelines. Additionally, I have done well beyond my job title by basically PMing or QAing backend developers at times to ensure that features are working properly, ensuring hardware for launches, and spending weekends and nights working.

When I signed on, I had initially wanted more equity than I eventually accepted. One thing that was implied but not directly promised was possibility to refresh back up to original equity to counter dilution if it was thought deserved.

I have decent market salary for my area of $155k and equity .33%. The startup has a pretty good product, and is entering a competitive space. Since they are funded, they could probably afford to find someone to replace me on the mobile app side eventually and cover the other extra things I have been taking care of somehow.

It has been a few months now, and I am not feeling incentivized enough especially with the extra mile that I go for the company because I believe that my equity is too low. After dilution and a series D round, my equity will be diluted down to .11%, which means that a unicorn $1B exit would leave me with "only" $1M for essentially winning the lottery.

I am planning to renegotiate my equity soon. Equity is the main thing I care about, especially since I have been treating the company like I have real stake in it. I will probably ask for .66% more, which is about what being refreshed back to .33% to counter dilution would be equivalent to in the end. However, I get this feeling that the founder will be very resistant to giving out more equity, and it will be very hard to come to an agreement.

What do you guys think? Is my equity is too low? Am I being too greedy? Would like to get your guys' opinion on this situation.

I think the issue with nursing homes come from a misunderstanding of what they are. Maybe it’s different outside of Scandinavia, but here, the only people who go to nursing homes are people who are so sick they can no longer stay in their own homes.

So naturally the state of those placed in a nursing home is dire, and when you view the nursing home as a place for the old rather than for what it is it’ll give you the idea that old age isn’t something to strive for.

In reality, however, a nursing home is really a long term hospice and everyone who live there is slowly dying from a range of diseases. Often because they didn’t live healthy lives.

That’s not what old age has to look like though. More and more people are living rich lives even after they turn 90, and while we can talk about the quality of life of those who don’t, the technological advances are also helping people who don’t go to nursing homes.

It’s sepecially helping with mobility, so that people who get sick in a non-lethal way, like getting pains from walking, can stay out of the nursing home longer than they used to.
Don’t count MapR down, their commitment to developing ports and tools for the ecosystem outside the jvm was very forward thinking. Their internal engineering talent either makes them a prime aquaition target for CDH in future or a fierce competitor as systems like kudu become more common and production ready.
It's happening. Here are some automated weeding systems in use in central California.[1] "All these machines use a camera to detect the crop, a computer to make decisions on which plants to keep/remove, and then activate a kill mechanism." Most of these things are implements towed behind a tractor, not robots. These implements seem to be built up from a row of detector/computer/actuator modules, so if a module fails in the field, you should be able to unbolt it and bolt in a spare, then take the broken one in for repair. Electronics for a module is probably cell phone level.

So far, they're not as flexible about weed/plant detection as they could be. But there will probably be a training system where you go out with a cell phone pointed down at the field, swiping left for weeds and right for plants, until the machine learning system is trained.

There's a lot that can be done, and is being done, by hooking up inexpensive vision systems to actuators on agricultural implements. Here's a nice example - a cultivator which is stirring the soil around each plant while not touching the plants.[2]

The main problem with automated vegetable harvesting is not that it can't be done, but that for some crops the infrequently used machinery isn't cost effective compared to hiring large numbers of people for short periods.

People should not be judged as black or white, nor as shades of gray. People are a shifting kaleidoscope of colors, some of them dark and disturbing, others bright and full of humanity, all of this changing from day to day and situation to situation. The idea of a consistent identity is a convenient illusion.
Repeated games
I've taken an online natural language processing course. I've spent much time on assignment because I want to get full mark. I searched the web and learnt something extra. Due to the deadline, I missed other sessions of the course and I couldn't take it back until the next semester. Finally I've just taken a few sessions of the course.

Doesn't cover 'hit by a bus' scenario.

Worse, like escrow, there's no guarantee (or likelihood) that it will be in a state maintainable by the client (or by anyone).

Here's my idea: clubsource, opensource within the exclusive club of customers. They all get source, and are allowed to modify and freely share source with each other - but only with each other. It's not open source. If they did want to share it (e.g. with a trade-partner or subsiduary etc), they need a new license from you. i.e open source, within a club.

The benefit is that they have access to source, now; they can assess it; they can build expertise in maintaining it; they can customize it. And most important for you, they can band together in these endeavours, to either share the load, or for those clients most capable to maintain it (probably for consideration; consultants could also take on this role, by being licensed).

The big benefit for you (apart from overcoming this objection), is it can keep improving and producing sales without you (though people will resent this, unless you make it sufficiently-cheap at that point).

The downside for you is you can't screw them for updates or features or maintenance like an Oracle. And someone could easily copy it directly, or "reverse-engineer" it, and you couldn't really trace it.

Yeah. The fact that I got down-voted for just asking makes me think that crap actually works.

* This was previously completely unregulated before

* The proposed guidelines encourage embryo research

* The proposed guidelines restrict manipulation of human embryos for reproduction

Also:

While I can certainly see its benefits in cases like this. It also worries me that falsely accusing someone of murder becomes ever so easier when courts start to trust these devices more and more in the future.

For example, a murdurer wanting to stick the charges on some other person could steal that persons devices (phone, fitbit, etc). Wear them while commiting the murder. Then return them, without notice if done at night or something.

The other person would then have a very hard time proving that he/she did not in fact commit to the murder, simply because courts have started to rely on these devices too much.

LINQ is not just library functions. It stands for "language integrated query" and is a full data modeling and querying system designed around lambdas and expression trees.

It can be easily translated to other query languages (like SQL) or functional paradigms, and is much more advanced than some map/iterate operators on generic types (which languages like Go dont even have).

The LINQ query syntax (from x in list select x.a) is syntactic just sugar to easily write complex expressions that the compiler turns into the same standard list.Select(x => x.a) method calls.
