> The first car from Lyft’s Level 5 self-driving initiative will be the Ford Fusion Hybrid. Lyft’s use of a Ford Fusion apparently isn’t associated with the partnership the two announced last year. Other AV companies have used the Ford Fusion as a platform for integrating self-driving technologies

Why are we still talking about Level 5 autonomous driving when we can't even get Level 4 working properly? I believe this is sending the wrong message.

On the topic of the acquisition, it seems like a good strategic buy for Lyft. I am still not sure whether they have the capital nor the talent pool to develop a strong autonomous vehicle product. It also seems like they are a bit late to the party, as there are more and more doubts on the reality of self-driving in the next few years.

I may sound sceptical, but I am just cautious when it comes to news on self-driving cars. However I am genuinely excited at this development and look forward to hearing more about how Lyft is progressing on this quest.

Why not?

I don't get why they spoof other apps. They have many real users/traffic to hide fake ads into. Hiding the ad is another story.
Do note that "not enough by itself" doesn't preclude "important part of the puzzle for how to do it".
>So, hypothetically, if these frauds would be completely eradicated and the companies would continue to invest the same amount of money in ads, we are doomed to see 20-25% more ads than we do now.

Nope. Advertisers would charge their clients 20-25% more to serve us ads. Digital ads are like real estate - every available piece gets rented out at some price, because otherwise it'll sit empty and make no money instead. The only question is what price is market-clearing: quantity of ads served is completely irrelevant.

Basically we killed all the things that kept these purple urchins in check (otters and big starfish), so purple urchin population was able to grow unchecked and it devoured all the kelp. Now we blame climate change. Seems like we screwed this one up a long time ago.

The guide to write universal, SSR-ready Vue components
It's not the only capitalistic way to do it. You could have private companies developing the technology but a government testing program to demonstrate some level of safety.

That is what they do with impact crash testing. Private companies design cars, and then the government crashes some to see how they do in certain scenarios.

But, the US government isn't taking this route right now, probably because they believe that SDCs have the promise of reducing traffic fatalities over the long term, so they don't want regulation to delay the process. But that's a policy decision based on calculated risk, not a necessity of a capitalist system.
You're conflating belief and knowledge. Agnosticism has to do with epistemic access to God – that is, knowability. One can deny knowability while having a belief in God, and therefore being a theist. It just requires acknowledging that one's belief is and always will be unfounded – a matter of faith.
How is the argument the same? You can't just ask me to do all the work for you while you just presume your statement is factual with no supporting evidence. Though I've gone ahead and responded because I feel very passionate about this issue.

To answer the heart of your point: any kind of editorial/screening system isn't perfect. We'll get things wrong. We always have, always will. It's still better than what's happening right now on these mediums where we know some portion of the population are "getting things wrong" and we're just allowing it to happen in a free fall fashion. "Do nothing" is never the answer, never has been and probably never will be.

To address your specific example: It's not based on what most of the population thinks. Qualified opinions are a thing. We can talk about what makes a qualified opinion, with your example or any other subject. Notably we see these types of opinions in your example gaining momentum because we're allowing certain groups of people unfettered access to an audience. It's really a bad example in my opinion, but I understand and sympathize with the point you're trying to make.

Unfiltered, unstructured information from unqualified sources tends to prey on our darker nature more often than it appeals to our better senses as people. To kind of expand on implementing practical systems around how we actually function as humans, in a lot of ways the "bad" part of human nature is why we've structured many western governments with explicit separation of powers with checks and balances. There are just some things we gravitate towards as humans that just aren't "good." James Madison in fact said the state was just a reflection of human nature, for the previous reasons. In a lot of ways, we have historically treated information dissemination in the same manner, checking and preventing the worst of our nature when broadcasting and consuming information via editorial controls and trusted, proven sources.
We don't need all of them to be sober, responsible thinkers. Just a majority of them.

I'm not sure if there's any news on it since then.
All I really want from a social network is to be able to share small files with my friends and see small files that my friends have shared with me. It's convenient to have a for-profit handle all the hard parts (checking whether people are who say they are, storing the stuff when one of us is offline, etc) but it's not an actual requirement. Especially if some portion of the members of the network have a $5 VPS, which is certain to be true.

(As an aside, it mystifies me that some VPS provider hasn't already built this. A FOSS decentralized social network that requires a small dedicated server would be like a whalefall for that industry. If I were a PM at Amazon, I would have a team contributing 'store my files on AWS instead of my phone' to Scuttlebutt right now, and ditto for every other promising-looking decentralized social app.)
Thank you, it's old code, but it works :D

Aside from the traditional engineering and commercial constraints of the idea, observations should focus on gathering data and modelling the complex ecological effects of the releases. They are the greatest factor of the plans success or failure so they should be a priority for prospective eco-engineering projects to observe, even where regulations and incentives may currently be limited.

In the uk its a non thing. 50% of my friends are atheists. Its such a non issue that it hardly ever comes up. The first time i had a problem is when i couldnt have a church wedding because I couldnt morally profess a belief in a christian god. My mum in law was very very unhappy. In fact ive felt socially threatened amongst my developer friends when I have been inable to say that I am atheist (I think in a certain sense God is the world and in another sense it also silly to make a claim for or against god, since I believe its impossible to say anything for certain). That opinion gets me ridiculed!
Companies Making Great Cybersecurity Hardware
When it comes to email spam or fake email accounts, Google not only allows it, they enable it. One scammer can setup thousands of gmail accounts and google doesn't blink an eye. Gmail also allows "scammer+1@gmail.com" and "scammer+2@gmail" to be the same account. I've reported obvious gmail abuse to Google through their channels, but nothing. Same scammer keeps coming back with new email accounts.

I know the feeling. I had a report (excuse me business intelligence query with nice printing) that I was working on that took up north of a couple of hundred hours. My problem was that I had to do the business logic (and gather a huge amount of domain knowledge) too. It was something of an effort, and I didn't make it to the shop for the key for a long while.

The best you can do is document, almost diary style, all of things you are doing to get to the goal and hope you have a project manager that will provide support and resources to get it all done. Frankly, all of my notes (which eventually went on a wiki for our group) helped in doing so much more.

Honestly, I think the whole question of "do you need domain knowledge to complete the task?" should be something to consider. Many folks do programming that isn't the same at each company and this tends to generate a different path that might not have a 'Canary MacGuffin' until very late in the process.

I also think that the whole "stupid task" is often mixed in the whole need / don't need domain knowledge. Many "stupid tasks" are related to the business process and often colored by not having technical resources with domain knowledge.

I once ran into a developer who thought it was stupid that we wanted some calculated amounts stored in the database. He didn't understand that other parts (oh, like the billing system) would have a problem redoing the calculation. Extreme, but one person's stupid is another person's ability to get paid.
The base is flexible. A slide rule is fundamentally just a set of adding sticks where you perform addition and subtraction in "log space". As long as you convert back out of the log scale it doesn't matter what the base was.

My primary use for logarithms today is verifying how many bits an intermediate calculation is going to need on a calculator without base-2 logs. The base conversion algorithm doesn't care what intermediate base you use as long as they match: bits ~= log2(x) == log10(x) / log10(2) == ln(x) / ln(2).

As the other poster said, it is hard when your last jobs meant you were overqualified. These aren't things you can simply leave off your application without absolutely lying.

What else are you going to put down for job history other than your job history? If you are doing a job that either requires a degree or expertise, it doesn't matter if you put down your salary or why you want the job. I knew a dude that wanted a simple job. His wife and him had downsized their house, had no car/house payment, and a basic, stress-free job was enough.

He was told by a few companies just didn't think he'd be happy at the wages they were paying and refused to hire him. This was despite explaining that he just wanted to do a job without the stress and go home. This was despite explaining he didn't need as much money now as his needs were less. It did not matter.

Now, eventually he got a job or two. One he couldn't stay at, since the gas station had no system in place for actual breaks, he wasn't allowed to eat at the register around customers, and he was diabetic and needed regular snacks. Another eventually worked out for a while.

Ahh, I looked in the source and see that runtime_map is simply a std::unordered_map.

I didn't look closely enough and assumed you'd made your own hash lookup so that parts of it could be run at compile time (in fact you could intern compile-time keys statically in the front of an object (in the initialized data section of the object file) adding a single additional probe at runtime) and let the linker patch up the locations in the usual fashion.

This is all a move in the right direction!

This scientism approach to what is a problem of crumbling connections to our selves will get us nowhere. Instead of having the best minds of our generation flailing away at marginal gains within a flawed hypothesis, maybe we should embrace the Earth as the whole biological system that it is.

Desert flooding is out - long time back an article on solar energy in the desert pointed out that the desert isn’t dead.

It’s an ecosystem in its own right with specialised creatures that live there. Plus it’s not like the people in the Sahara are going to be happy that a bunch of people decide that their nation should be flooded.

Remember we can’t convince Brazillians to stop ranchers from decimating the rainforest.

Also that added water, if it is stable, will result in ,ore growth and human presence, adding to the heat engine. (Assuming people in the region don’t drain it for irrigation almost immediately )

It looks like the confidence interval is larger in earlier years because there are fewer data points.

Whats interesting to me is how big the spread is until the 1900s where not only is the blossom date trend increasing, but the individual blossom dates are grouping much closer together as well. I wonder if this is an error in measurement or if there is natural explanation for this variance reduction in the last 100 years.
It doesn't matter: You still need to write down your job history. If your history includes well-paid jobs that you either need degrees or expertise for, it isn't a stretch to guess how qualified one is. Even for grocery stores, gas stations, and the like. Even if you do not write down the salaries you've made.

You could leave that stuff off, but then you also are lying on the application and will be expected to explain the lack of job history.
The company will be put into receivership when it can no longer meet capital requirements imposed by regulators, this may not be a company breaking event - the receivership proceedings will determine if the insured and creditors are best served by liquidation, conservancy, or rehabilitation.

Assuming a somewhat rational market, a market cap above zero means that the present value of future cash flows is greater than (or equal to) the debts owed. In practice this means the company can borrow against those cash flows, and continue to meet capital requirements - avoiding potential liquidation.
But that UN report is based on predictions we know with 100% certainty to be incorrect. That's politics, not science. Science says "learn to do math before telling everyone the world is ending".

The i9-9900k should reach 5GHz as long as:

1. Your power supply can supply the 200W needed.

2. Your motherboard's VRMs (voltage regulator modules) can supply the 200W needed.

3. Your CPU coolers can extract 200W of heat.

Its all running outside of Intel's 95W TDP specification, but it seems like Intel is comfortable with claiming 5GHz on 2-cores of the i9-9900k if you have the appropriate PSU / Mobo / Coolers.

Why are we so concerned about ocean acidification from CO2, when past CO2 levels were far higher than now and all of the shellfish species that currently exist lived back then too? Wouldn't it be a good idea to consider the massive quantities of known toxins we pump into the oceans rather than fixating on a red herring?
> So the irony is that we could grow more beef and pull carbon out of the air at the same time, only if we cared.

I want this desperately to be true as someone who loves meat but everything I've read tells me it's not. There is definitely a nice symbiotic relationship that exists between cows grazing and grasslands but it is significantly more expensive to raise animals this way, and you can raise significantly fewer of them per sq ft.

The main issue with cows is methane, not carbon (edit: carbon dioxide*), anyway.
Another option four: They have their own job to do and perhaps your task isn't in their highest priorities? Or perhaps they want to work on it but haven't had the time to make proper progress yet.

If it's important enough that it's actually blocking team progress then that's a management problem, but nothing in this seems to indicate it's anything like that.
If you have a specific question I could answer it, but I think it ultimately boils down to the way I look at the world in general. I feel far removed from it, like I am borrowing someone else's human body and my "soul" (or essence, or whatever) doesn't have the experience of millions of years of evolution to back up my human DNA. It feels like I was dropped here by mistake, if that makes sense. I think everything can be extrapolated from that.

Not sure what it's caused by, but the whole thing is really apparent in social situations (which often include a lot of joking around). I never have been able to "sync up". My humor is scaled way way up, kind of like if you could hear God's laughter as he observes the universe, in the Russian style. It's not relevant to anything anyone cares about.

I hope that makes sense.

But a lot of other languages with better tooling et al just choose to compile to JavaScript. It's not like you need WASM for that.
What I'd do in this case (and this is true for most everyone I know) depends on what "portion" means:

- If it's something that can be reasonably divided among guests (such as a soup or something similar), then I eyeball the portions so they're all approximately even. Optionally, if there's an ample amount, you can simply let people decide how much they want through self-service.

- If it's something that's demarcated by physical objects (e.g. dinner rolls, cupcakes, etc), then you have a few other options: Leftovers to save for later, split them among people who want extra, or give them away to whomever wants them.

I don't know about the OP you're replying to, but I rarely divide a recipe up based on expected portions since portion size is highly variable. Should I have extra left over, then I deal with that accordingly. If I'm cooking to get rid of an ingredient, I don't particularly care if I miss the mark by a few portions provided I have enough in the first place for the objective.

(The other problem is that portioning in this question seems to me to assume that all guests are equally hungry.)
I'm disappointed in the hypocrisy of HN users when it comes to privacy and money. When it comes to selling a company, and caring about user privacy, everyone on HN might as well be Zuckerberg. As soon as someone suggests doing something that violates their privacy even slightly, HN's number one priority is privacy.
There is not only one kind of "action" available to take.
I don't think that's a real issue. It's not like all the controversial speakers are trying to speak at the same university at the same time. Usually these spots are planned weeks or months in advance, plenty of time to book a room.

In fact most of the spots that have been called off were canceled well after they were scheduled and confirmed. If a university for whatever reason does not want to host the speaker at all, then just come right out and say so. Saying "Oh so sorry, we're all booked for the next 6 months!" is just a transparent excuse.
