I find it strange to give this advice, then provide 3 alternate example routes that add a mile or more of climb to the ride. Gravity isn't friction, per se, but it does pack a wallop all the same, especially if sweat or fatigue (or injury) is a concern.

Are these roads safer or prettier or something that I'm missing from the map?
Intel Accelerates 5G Modem Deployment, Could Power First 5G iPhones
I'm pretty sure Google's thought process is more along the lines of, "If you aren't driving you have more time to use the Internet, which means more time to look at our ads all across the Internet". That's why they launched Google Fiber. They charged basically cost for it, in the hopes that it's customers would use more internet. I suspect it will be the same here -- charging actual cost (maybe including some free wifi?) in the hopes that you spend more time on the Internet.
Ouch. For a workaround in the future, maybe you can lower the priority of your bazel server via nice/renice?
I'm pretty sure I still have a couple of Godbout S-100 cards in the basement. In particular I think it was a Godbout memory card at the heart of my system.

So sad to hear of his passing, especially in such an awful way.
Regarding being seen - even if you are lit up like a christmas tree, you should assume no-one can see you, and have an escape plan.

Also, a major gripe I've got in the past couple of years is cyclist with super-bright, epilepsy-inducing flashing lights (which are great for on-road use) who ride with said lights at full-blast on off-road shared (pedestrian+bicycle) paths, thus blinding any oncoming cyclists or pedestrians. Car headlines have regulations to prevent them blinding oncoming traffic, but bicycles do not, and the lights have gotten _much_ cheaper and brighter in the past few years. Pity that consideration of other people isn't such a thing...
I love doing the same route every time. You just get into that zone, and then all of a sudden you're home or at work. Been doing it for 7 years straight, and though I've moved homes and work a few times, necessitating a route change, I've never been bored.

> By the numbers, small businesses dominate larger businesses in job creation,

Of course, they do! Small businesses are less efficient, and have to employ more people to get the same amount of work done.

But optimizing for this is anathema in an ideological climate where the lowest price for the customer is the most important thing, all consequences be damned.

Also, many towns hope to, in theory, attract more employment through satellite industries, that spring up around the big company. These satellites won't be getting any tax breaks.
Humans drivers could be necessary to... just lend the car. Not for their driving skills but for the money they invest. It’s much easier to let car owners take the risk of investing in a car, maintaining it, repairing it (for the moment they don’t repair themselves), cleaning up the Saturday night mishaps. It could be hundreds of billion dollars to populate the world with Google-owned self driving cars.

I am struggling to reconcile how the pedestrian does not have the right of way in both these cases.

if you're referring to the split that came with Windows 8 , there's been (slow) progress in Windows 10. There's still a handful of settings left in the old Control Panel, but most of them have been moved to the new Settings app.
TLDR; Waymo will be spinning up new company next month exclusively for app based rides (name is being kept secret). Fares will be competitive with Uber/Lyft. They did year long test drive for 400 customers in Phoenix. These same customers would be offered initial access. Other competitors still remains far behind in terms of disengagement metric.

This will mark the first ever commercial self-driving cab service.
I'm curious about this too, but at least in some cases the reason is the sites don't start off with DDoS protection, they signup with Cloudflare to mitigate the attack in progress.
Computational Photography and Photographic Manipulation
I biked for many years in Boston, MA, and the advice to assume that everyone is out to kill you rings true. I've ridden along and between cars, trucks and buses always assuming they can't see me, and never had any accidents. However, what got me multiple times over time is doors opening suddenly on stopped cars (the last time on a car in a traffic lane idling at a red light, opened by an exiting passenger). So if you're riding in those conditions I think you should assume they are out to get you by suddenly opening doors :-)

It puts a big damper on bike commuting because it means you need to move very slowly along rows of parked cars, as well as stopped traffic.
I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

By "userspace" I was more talking about "the programs and interfaces that a normal user interacts with". Haiku is pretty unique in that regard.
Jarvis is too current an IP, so will be very expensive. Try "Johnnycab."
Why spin up a new company? Is it to limit liability?
I sincerely doubt it. This "driverless" program will still have a back-up driver and thousands of dollars of additional equipment on board. Along with, I am sure, several limitations on which specific locations this can work. Uber operates at a global scale and in plenty of cities (think central London or south Mumbai) where a driverless car share program is decades away (if viable at all).

That's funny, I must not have written any applications in the past 14 years. (Seriously though, I read one algorithms book when I was 16, and used those algorithms approximately... five times... in the past decade and a half)
seconding this, creating value is orthogonal to knowing CS. see the creator of homebrew, Max Howell infamously failing to invert a binary tree in an interview: https://mobile.twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?la...

Unrelated to the merit of any of the arguments, opening this kind of issue is a case study for "How not to waste a maintainers time 101".
I ran that exact command a few weeks ago and it tried to scale my existing app to GRU (which is what I want!) and it immediately threw an error saying that GRU requires the v2 Docker serverless crap.

Well, you should not start with TF documentation if you don't know how basic deep learning models work. Start with online courses
What action you take depends on what state you're in, and where the pedestrian is.

> Pedestrian crossing: 50 state summary

> The majority of states, however, only require motorists to yield to, rather than stop for, pedestrians crossing at uncontrolled crosswalks. Nineteen states require a motorist to yield when a pedestrian is upon any portion of the roadway. Louisiana mandates motorist yielding when a pedestrian is upon the same half of the roadway. Nebraska requires yielding when a pedestrian is upon the same half of the roadway or within one lane of the motorist. Massachusetts mandates yielding when a pedestrian is upon the same half of the roadway or within 10 feet of the motorist; and 20 states mandate motorists yield when a pedestrian is upon the same half of the roadway or approaching closely enough from the opposite side of the roadway to constitute a danger. In addition, in at least five states and the District of Columbia, bicyclists have the same or similar rights as pedestrians.

Tests fail all the time during development. Test fails indicate a bug. You fix the bug before you commit. The bug never makes it to prod. It's impossible that only one test ever failed during development.

It's often easier to make a small chip and spin it around on a rotating platform than to make a big chip. For a similar reason, rotating line cameras are a thing for panoramic imaging [1]. As the technology matures and become cheaper, we will see more solid state technology, just as bundles of regular area scan cameras with fisheye lenses have displaced rotating line cameras.

Orangs are just amazing creatures.

I remember 'playing' with a juvenile and a large male once, during a slow day at the zoo. They were behind a big glass wall, there was a flat-screen built into the center of the glass along the floor, kinda like an 'n' in shape. The male was mostly uninterested, but the juvenile was just so curious about everything. The little guy was trying to make a bed/nest on some of the gym equipment. Eventually, he saw me looking up at him and came over to the glass, where I was standing. I decided to play a bit of a game of hide and seek. I'd duck behind the flat-screen, and wiggle my fingers up above it, and then myself. The little dude seemed to really like it, swinging about and having a good time with hide-n-peek. The huge, jowly male took an interest too, maybe due to the activity of the juvenile. The giant male and I would 'hide' a bit, he behind the various objects in the cage, I in the viewing room with it's benches and educational boards. The juvenile would point us out/tag us and then swing off on some ropes and such. If the juvenile was a human toddler, I swear he'd be squealing in delight. It was just an amazing 20/25 minutes until other people walked in.

Those beasts are just stunningly intelligent for animals.
Consider the fact that car manufacturers don't generally operate taxi services. For the same reason that Toyota sells Priuses (Prii?) to taxi companies, Waymo may choose to sell its technology to car manufacturers and via them to taxi services.
Shave all your crevice hair. Armpits, buttocks, groin, neck.

In my example (standing at corner), they certainly have right of way, whenever they plan on walking. Sometimes they're just hanging out, which is usually obvious to a human, but in a subtle way I can't describe, let alone guess at how to program.
Can you elaborate more on how this "secondary market" would work?
There have been rumors of Waymo preparing 60,000 self-driving cars. So next year (or two) could be game changer.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many things and tips you do right, the biggest challenge to cycling are cars and general poor road infrastructure in US cities.
While I have no explanation for the clustering, a yard is a long, long measure in football, with a dozen 4K cameras and a lot of very vested interests. Occasionally spots seem generous or not, but that's to the measure of a couple of inches (e.g. he went down 4" short of the first down). As a long time fan it just doesn't seem reasonable to me that the ref opts for the 40 yard line instead of the 39 because there's a line. That's a 3 foot difference. To further support this, the bordering two yard counts do not depress the amount of the excess on the 5 yard marker.

Not to mention that where the refs place the ball -- near the center of the field, usually on the left or right side depending upon where the play ended -- has a line on every yard marker.

But again I have no explanation. We know that touchbacks start on the 20 or 25 yard line, and penalties are increments of 5 yards (e.g. face mask would be 15 yards, holding 10 yards, false start 5 yards, encroachment 5 yards, etc...and these can pile, kickoff out of the last five yards starts at the 40 yard line, etc), and to some degree this explains the 5 yard excess.
All programs are purely functional and deterministic, so you can replay events or serialize the app to transfer somewhere else.

Interesting. Actually, I have one of my processes serializing its state and exporting it to a different process, while all of the clients continue playing the MMOsteroids game they're logged into.
Ad-featured taxis experience is quite common in Thailand or Vietnam: You pay to get to some hotel, and they drive you to ...another hotel and make you visit it, until you pay a second time to get to the right hotel without detour. Sounds very Google-like, now that I think about it. Can’t wait.
Computer science is not the same as professional software development, even though it makes for a good educational foundation. Often even those of us who studied computer science are separated from it by enough years or abstractions such that we have to take a step back and think about fundamental problems when they are presented. So don't feel bad, unless you believe this actually indicates an area for professional growth.

Said another way - I haven't needed to write <sort> in twenty years, so if I had to, it would take me just as long as it takes you.
effort to introduce a canonical way

I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of incompatible API changes in every 2.* release, and a completely new "canonical" way introduced in TF 3.0.
When an article such as this mentions hacking, they don't mean your version of hacking. They mean the spooky news definition of hacking where there's a stock photo of a guy wearing a hoodie (and a balaclava for some reason??) typing on a laptop with a glowing green matrix waterfall on the screen. They mean there's no precaution taken whatsoever against malicious access, which is certainly a bad thing. Even the most radical FOSS guy who built his own phone out of spare parts and has a bumper sticker which reads "my other computer is your computer" is going to put a password on it.

There are pacemakers out there using NFC or some similar tech to talk to an external processor and battery pack. I bet the security on those is utterly tragic. The relevant regulatory bodies are absolutely not going to do a damn thing about it until there's a body count--of that much I am 100% certain.

Murder via medical device malware sounds like the plot of a rejected Gibsonian short story, but stuff like that will happen in our world. Somebody is eventually going to think that might be just the way to off grandpa so they can hurry up and get that inheritance.
Why do you need an accurate measurement for consumer air quality monitoring? I believe even a DIY arduino project with cheap optical dust sensor, like PPD42NS or GP2Y1010AU0F, would be enough.
[spoiler alert] One of may favorite quotes: "If it bleeds, we can kill it."
Nice!

I'm going to follow a similar path for Snap.as and the rest: getting the product right as a hosted platform (only worrying about a single configuration, not doing additional project management, moving faster, etc.), and then go open source when it's essentially "finished," like Write.as is.

Especially while the company is still working toward sustainability, I think this is the best way to keep our focus on building a great product, ensure we continue growing, and build for our primary users (non-techy folks).
For my air purifier, it generally reports better air quality in less than ten minutes of running at full speed. But, if you're in an area affected by the wildfires, then new particles will also be entering your home / bedroom, so you may want to keep it on low or run it in cycles.
Facebook algorithms making the whole experience worse is being quite charitable in describing what it did, considering it's huge role in spreading of fake news and biasing people's thinking towards the presidential election along with creating strong negative feedback loops.
> but when it comes to me trying to solve these problems on my own, I don't know where to start.

How do you expect to know where to start when you haven't been taught anything yet? Your short resumé does not indicate that you have any background in Computer Science. That's not bad, it's just different.
A non significant chunk of trips are in places that don't look like them. If I still need a driven car for 10 or 20 percent of trips, I'm not going to ditch in favor of driverless cars.
It looks like Waymo might become provider of tech to sub-companies that operates specialized segments like self-driving cab, self-driving food deliveries, self-driving trucks, etc.
Yea, theres a massive thread above us getting into the weeds about like, the very nature of capitalism, but for me it boils down to a simple issue: I think it's unfair that I get paid more than my equally productive colleague, just because I happen to live in SF and he happens to live in Indiana.

Also nearly entirely defeats the purpose of remote work. I'm into it cause it'd be dank to pull a San Francisco salary while chilling in Vietnam and paying 200$/mo for rent.

Can we please have constexpr in C 2x to put an end to this madness?
I wonder if you'd put cotton wool, how effective it would be. Here is my set up:

- I bought XIAOMI Mi Air Purifier 2 straight from China for $137.00 and spent 1 euro on a EU plug. It's so quiet that I can sleep next to it, looks nice and it's quite compact, so doesn't take up much space. It has a particle detector to adjust the fan speed. The app is useless, so a cheaper version without WiFi and bluetooth would be great.

- Buy some HEPA filters to put into window ventilation. You may want to remove some plastic inside to increase the flow http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-g/69621-5895915.jpg

- Buy roomba like vacuum cleaner https://www.goodcheapandfast.com/articles/best-robot-vacuums

It will cost you less than 500$ to buy these and about 55$/year for new filters. It is worth the money. The air quality is much better (I'm allergic and I haven't had any problem with my sinus since).

What is more, is it worth it. It will save you time cleaning your place (about 10h/year)

Anyone has tried robot vacuums with mop or automatic dirt disposal function?
Hah, indeed. Happy to help make the web better in many ways :)
If Etherum generates 51GB every three years at 24,000 TPH then Visa isn't going to produce significantly less than 13TB every 3 years at 6 million TPH. Lots of transactions require lots of storage. Visa doesn't pull any magic tricks, it just stores more data. If storing more data isn't viable for blockchains then they will have a hard time against centralized databases.

It definitely could be a problem for Uber’s IPO story. I’m sure Waymo’s progress was foreseen.

If driving becomes a commodity, the bigger long term problem is the mobile phone being the gateway to calling a ride. The users may just use Google/Apple maps or the voice assistant.
>history degree in how we have solved problems in the past.

I like that, that's a cool way to think about it.

I've often thought it should be called "computational" science or maybe "skills in logical problem solving." Regardless of whether one pursues a career in software, a computer science degree is really good at teaching a person how to think.
Note the author isn't just a commuter, but a somewhat serious competitive cyclist. For cyclists, fighting against gravity is fun, or at least feels rewarding; fighting against friction or wind is not. I don't know exactly why - both simply require more effort - but everyone would agree.
I would guess that the reasoning (which I agree with) is that defined signed overflow precludes a standards-compliant compiler both from making certain optimizations (made under the assumption that overflow will not occur) and from performing error checking (e.g. -ftrapv), and enables the writing of confusing code (which unsigned arithmetic would make more clear).

Forced to choose, I'd rather see signed overflow be required to abort the program or throw an exception than wrap.

I bike-commute year-round in Oregon, which isn't as bad as it sounds. I used to ride a road bike with thin (25) tires but I wiped out (at low speed) early last year and broke my hip!

Now I have a touring bike with disc brakes and wider tires, definitely a good investment. Road bike stays in the garage for weekend rides when it's dry.
In my example (jaywalker) they stopped and waited for the pedestrian to cross the street.

The pause times do seem longer than a human would take (I noticed this with the right-turn with pedestrian case as well), but I'd rather that self-driving cars err on the side of safe rather than sorry.
Might be a stupid question but does this work for external air pollution? I live at the 20th floor in a city with terrible air quality and we open the windows once or twice a day.
