First of all, congrats. You are in a great situation, now you just have to manage it to allow you to live your life the way you want from here on out.

The very first thing I'd do is watch this video (it's a famous scene from the movie The Gambler). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJjKP8vYjpQ

The basic idea is to establish your "position of 'Fuck You'". You basically have that already... house paid for, cars paid for, etc. Put enough of your money aside in conservative, safe, long-term investments that you'll never be hurting for money. Include things like your kids college tuition or whatever things are important to you. Once you have that, even if you blow the rest of the money on toys, sex, drugs, rock 'n roll, whatever, you always have the ability to say "fuck you" to anybody who hassles you.

Beyond that, you can decide if you want to try and grow your wealth by investing and actively managing your money. Maybe you would want to do some angel investing, who knows? Or maybe you want to engage in some philanthropy. You probably don't have enough money to get a hospital named after you, but you could buy uniforms for the local high-school band group, or donate to a local volunteer fire department, or any number of things.

Should you continue to work? It's up to you... my guess is that if you flat-out retire at your age you'll find yourself bored pretty quickly, but it depends on what kinds of things you choose to engage in. Maybe there are some hobbies that have been latent in the back of your mind, that you would enjoy, but you just never made time to take up. Spend some time exploring things. Think about what you enjoyed as a kid that you gave up as an adult, etc. Or maybe you want to spend some time volunteering - become a volunteer firefighter, or volunteer at an animal shelter, or a soup kitchen, or a homeless shelter or something.

Anyway, it's hard to give somebody else advice on this, because we all have different values and priorities. But I think the "position of fuck you" stuff is pretty universal. Lock that in, and what you do beyond that is up to you, while you always have that as your floor.

Other places terrible for sleep: Airplanes and long distance buses. That is one area where trains have an advantage; one can sleep surprisingly well in overnight sleeper trains.
You’re right regarding the meanings. They are two valid uses of the word black. Neither invokes any association to skin colour, but you choose to. Am I banned from falling upon dark times, because some people also have dark skin?
I completely agree, and often that's how I want Google to work.

But what I would also like is a way to search without using my context, as sometimes I want results that aren't related to my location etc.
Not one single one I interviewed was worth anything. It's not their money so they don't do things efficiently for you and they give bad advice as often as good advice, leading me to believe it is mainly all guesswork on their part.
All of these draconian measures are implemented by so-called Executive Orders. I don't recall any provision in our Constitution for the Executive to issue orders by himself. A President making laws alone is antithetical to our democratic way of life, yet few people even know about Executive Orders and I've not heard of anyone trying to stop them.

Nice find. I'd love to just get the matrix background to put on my default browser home page.
That can be done even more easily with properly erased generics.

This is another of those unfortunate implications of Java's having disappeared into this ugly chasm between static and dynamic typing. It doesn't fully erase types, so you can't do like C++ or Haskell do and just generate a completely different type, because it wouldn't be compatible with any functions that work with the generic type. At least, not without breaking backward compatibility, which was the whole point of doing type erased generics in the first place.

Really this is the question I'm interested in. Hopefully some animal models can be attempted in the near future.

Given that we're getting better at growing body parts from stem cells, you could easily imagine in the nearish future being able to gestate an embryo in a womb grown from an individuals own stem cells and enough attached organs to provide the full environment.

I agree with the diagnoses of “not tested” and here’s why:

They should have been running this filter for months tagging content but not revealing the decision. Auditing the results and looking at the statistics.

If the filter is being overzealous then shouldn’t the stats show that a lot of NSFW material is on the site and that it gets traffic?

So then why pull the trigger anyway? Empire building? Bureaucracy?
>> Keeping the safety drivers in the beginning, scaling up, and getting a year or more worth of actual real world use, before slowly scaling back the drivers is what I'd call a very responsible choice.

I'm sorry but where does this "one year" expectation come from? What says that Waymo needs a year (or two years, or ten, or three months, etc) to start "scaling back the drivers"?

From what I can tell, the only way to judge the competence of their driverless systems is to compare where they are today with were they were 10 years ago when they started out. However, this is next to impossible- that data is not public.

So, where does that "one year" optimism come from? Autonomous driving won't magickally become easier in a year from now.
It is actually an org file :)

If they did that they would also have to ban games that use game engines such as Unity, because they're doing the same thing as Flutter.

In fact, so far Android team members have only given political correct answers when asked about Flutter.

Responsibility is something nobody wants, the way to shirk it, is to either share it, or to perform a bureaucratic ritual, which may result in a third parties detriment, but absolve the wearer of power from the responsibility. Thus the nurse on watch will perform the rituals to not be blamable for the circumstances.
Thus machines can not perform these rituals.
The only way, you can get sleep in a hospital is to erect a totem, which is a waiver - aka, i know what im doing, leave me alone, signed "SoAndSo".
The difference between that and job interviews is that we are forced to pay for this crap via taxes. It is literally a black hole for tax-dollars.

I still say cut government funding for research by 90% and watch it get fixed automatically as all the bad actors stop joining (you still probably need to wait for the current ones to die/retire).
It's also about evangelization, I think. I bet that there is a substantial amount of users of Firefox that do not know what a VPN is, nor how to choose among the very many providers. Without entering in the merit of the choice of provider, I feel it is a good idea, that aligns with the mission of Mozilla and the need of generating income. If I remember correctly, the Mozilla foundation was mainly supported by Google money: having forms of independent income generation is both necessary for any sustainable non-profit, and desirable to maintain, indeed, independence.
There's been some study(s) which suggest that medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death. This may have been debunked so if wrong please correct me.

The article recommends putting your fob upstairs or as far away as possible, but that seems like false security.

This would be interesting if the process were that the FCC accepted public comments, and made a decision based on evaluating those comments. Then it would indeed be a problem if the comments weren't representative of American public opinion.

However, it seems that FCC had pre-decided, based on top-down politics, what they were going to do and the public comments were a formality.

So focusing on who made what comments, and the details of technical failures in the comment process, is a distraction from the issue that matters: should your cable provider be able to decide what websites you can visit?
Just continue your normal life of "average" (as you say).

If all $8m went into your checking account, the first "simple" step you can do is to start breaking up the $8m into different account types at different banks with you and your wife as depositors for FDIC insurance purposes, in case you are not paying attention or ready to do anything immediate with the funds. https://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/

Then after this, your full time job can become just learning how to manage your money which includes self-education first, before hiring anybody. It is not that hard and I'm sure you can do that on an average, not very hardworking 8 hour day, 5 days a week :)

Since you are a tech manager and seem to know "pieces" of your job (coding and business) but not enough to consider yourself a specialist (like a coder or the business guy), use this same mindset to be a manager of a team you can build around how to manage this $8m. In truth, $8m is not a lot of money per se so you may not need a team ... most people will want 1% of that per year to manage it. Your hope is that they are making at least 1% + inflation rate but you would probably do better yourself.

Good luck and congratulations!
I think you're bang on - but it needn't be limited to driverless cars.

Honestly, I'm surprised it's not something that Google have already built heavily into Maps. People often search for what they want (e.g. burger, pizza) - this would be an obvious time to offer deals or discounts to drive customers to particular businesses. You then expand to compete with particular retailers - someone searches for Nike specifically, they get offers from the nearby Adidas store.

This is not really any different to what happens with Google searches, where advertisers can buy keywords related to their competitors.
You don’t have a good grasp on philosophy to suggest the meaning of free will and complatiblism. Yes the justic system is a disgrace to humanity and I understand determinism. Prove otherwise please from what I wrote and I’ll be thankful. Instead it looks like someone with a hurt ego writing nonsense to me.
lol the censorship attempt actually broke the code
No, and I don't think anybody is suggesting you should be banned or that it's a grievous sin to use such an analogy. The point is just that it's something which could conceivably be seen negatively in some circumstances and it's also only a small amount of work to adopt different language.

> Nice spin on it, but Facebook is still a bad actor (despite what you say).

This needs to be a conclusion, not a premise. I do not have a firm belief about whether or not this is true, but I keep seeing people list bad things about FB and draw a straight line to “thus it is evil”. Ideally, we would list the good/bad it does and assign weights to these points to determine if it is net harmful.

I want to be convinced, HN, but when I read comments like the ones in this thread (FB has no positive value whatsoever for its users, FB sells users’ data), it makes it hard for me to appraise.

It might surprise folks to know that unconstitutional "Executive Orders" also allow the Prez to sieze all housing, food production, transportation, industrial sites, and healthcare facilities. Is that the democracy we signed up for?
> free will is about assigning moral responsibility

Moral responsibility seems to me to be the same as the casual responsibility in these cases?

There's the famous "goal does/does not justify means" - if blackmail removed your moral responsibility then it's meaningless because there's nothing to justify. I don't think it's the case.

I think moral responsibility is still there, it's just negligible compared to the alternatives.

And I still don't see how it requires free will (except for the useless definition "anything that learns and can make a choice" - then by definition we have a free will, but that was never in question, why even waste a word on such a concept?).
From the very Wikipedia article you are attempting to use to say I'm using it incorrectly:

>Scientific null assumptions are used to directly advance a theory. For example, the angular momentum of the universe is zero. If not true, the theory of the early universe may need revision.

We have not proven that the angular momentum of the universe is zero. We assume it is, and have created our equations of how the universe works assuming this, and those equations have accurately described how the universe works.

However, it is not impossible that the universe is has angular momentum, and some scientists have proposed that it does, actually, and have some evidence that backs their claims. However, it hasn't been proven, so most scientists still work under the assumption that the angular momentum is zero.

>Fortunately, the philosophical question of free will is not about how the universe works.

Uh. What?

Whether or not we have free will is 100% about how the universe works. Either we have it, and the laws of nature allow it, or we do not.
Embedded devices can be laggy at times.

More efficient for the car to estimate the distance and power of the transmitter.
Why leave off the part of the quote that said "and publishing"? I assume an accident, buf if you include that in the quote, you will understand how the situation is different. The concern about ideals is how they chose the target and what they are doing with the documents. So many people naively get caught up in the overarching issue of guilt that they are eager to overlook improprieties by the investigators.
It's a zero overhead abstraction because it'll compile to the same code.
That's not a term of art in economics.
Yep. Like when I'm using a VPN, but I still want to know about stuff where I am physically located.

On the contrary, this example only /supports/ the classical understanding of free will, in the sense that it shows the will operates only on goods that we perceive, and not on those which the intellect does not know.

We often operate with imperfect knowledge of our situations. That is simply because our intellects are not all-knowing.

That defeats the purpose of the fob. Be easier to put an on/off switch on the fob so you can turn it off at night.
Because FDIC only insures $250K? SIPC only covers $500K somewhere like Schwab[1] - or do you mean because you think it's terrible not be earning something on the $8M? Presumably that's enough for anyone to live out the rest of their life on comfortably...

Correct. It's been a headache to cities and some citizens.

The scooter companies hire somewhat of bounty hunters to charge them. They are paid roughly $3 to 8 per scooter.
Very interested in internship. Where could I apply and learn more?
To add another anecdote, I thought I was the only one who thought drivers have gotten worse in the Bay Area over the past few years. The frequency of some driver not paying attention or not following the rules of the road and blowing through stop signs and red lights or abruptly turning into my path without a signal has been increasing, as a driver, cyclist, and pedestrian. Stay safe out there, especially during the winter months.
> Free will is, by definition, both uncaused and a cause of other actions.

No it's not. The free will debate is about defining what free will actually means so that we can assign moral responsibility.

The scientific meaning of "free will" as experimenters being able to setup their instruments free from influence of that which they're measuring is not what's being discussed here.
I set up a github thing if anyone is interested.

I actually went to a school corporation where this happened, about 20 years ago. I was in high school. School started at 7:38. We got up around 5:30, boarded the bus at 6:05, arrived to school at 7:00. Elementary school started at 8:55, with a similar length bus pre-schedule.

Our corporation hired a firm to do a study, found that younger children performed much better during earlier hours, and flipped the schedules. The next year, the high school started at 8:50, and the elementary school at 7:45, and the schedules have been essential unchanged since. I can't describe how much of a difference that 1.5 hours made to a 16-year old.

As a father of 3 young children, they rarely sleep past when I have to wake them for school anyway. The same is definitely not true of teenagers.
Zuck has a bespoke hoodie, and ordered a pallet of them for the company so his employees could dress like him.
I'm in awe of his skills and intelligence. Sounds like someone who knows how to work smarter. I would have taken that as a learning opportunity.

*edit: Getting a few down-votes on this one. I was being mildly sarcastic but on the other hand it takes some skill and smart thinking to pull this kind of thing off. Also in my experience, bull-shitting is a very valuable and necessary skill at work and in life in general. Arguably it gets you to a position where you can do work of actual substance and get recognition for it.
I think this sets an awful precedent and it's astonishing that an action like this would be applauded. But you do you.
While I agree that humans are complex and should not be generalized by one or a few actions, Facebook as a whole has repeatedly demonstrated they are not good stewards of the data entrusted to them by users. The actions of their leaders is in complete conflict with the messaging they portray.

From the ad campaign run by Facebook in 2018:
"...From now on, Facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy, so we can all get back to what made Facebook good in the first place: friends. Because when this place does what it was built for, then we all get a little closer."

To anyone looking closely at the actions of executives and living outside the SV echo chamber, this statement is laughable.

While the actions of the many inside the company have been noble, they too have been taken advantage of just as those who used the platform for so many years.
But doesn't this signal also make you easier to track?

Ignored how? This is a recent development. The new law in Australia requires that tech firms build-in a backdoor for the government. Don't think for a moment that big companies won't comply because they will. This affects Americans, too. Like GDPR, rules that apply to Big Tech in one country will have ramifications everywhere.
On many models keyless entry and remote start are options, rather than standard. If you park in a garage at night, then this particular attack isn't much of an issue.
Like I said the header isn't to control how long something stays in the cache. It's to control how often the browser needs to check if the content changed.
Taking advantage of everyone having it already cached on their machine maybe? Or it could just be standard ad retargeting - not unreasonable that Netflix would want to stream behavior data to facebook ads for targeting / lookalike purposes
> I don't recall any provision in our Constitution for the Executive to issue orders by himself

The Constitution vests executive power in the President, and explicitly envisions the existence of subordinate executive officers (mentioning explicitly the heads of executive departments, for instance) through whom the executive power vested in the President is carried into execution.

The vesting of executive power in the President necessarily includes the authority of the President to issue directions to those subordinate executive officers to carry out the executive functions vested in the President.

English has a simpler word for “directions to subordinates”, and that word is “orders”.

Executive Orders are simply published, recorded, formalized directions to subordinate officers within the executive branch.
How can dereferencing the first character take longer when the string is longer?
Hospitals are barely capable of providing appropriate foods for people with strict gluten-free diet. Also, their food basically follows 1950s American ideas the nutrition… Breaded chicken with Jell-O and canned peas. I don’t think allergy avoidance and food that actually has nutrition is a “first world problem“ and it’s not constructive to dismiss these concerns in such a manner. It’s especially absurd given that patients are surely paying enough money to provide decent food or any food they desire.
The first rule of the resistance is that we don’t talk about the resistance with people who find 5:30am tolerable.
