I worked at a company that got sold on Semantic Web and made an initial investment in tools and training. While I found the concepts intriguing, the teams tasked with making it work gave up after about six months of trying to make it work with the use case they had.
I understand that it can be a powerful set of concepts for certain kinds of use cases but it feels like the level of dedication and care needed to make it work is probably beyond many organizations' ability to execute.

The impression I got was that it was like deciding to use a Kibble Balance [0] to weigh yourself in the morning. You have to match the use case to the tool and for many organizations this simply will not be the right tool.

What you're suggesting directly contradicts the recommendations given in Roadcraft, the official police driver's handbook in the UK.

Use all your mirrors, and consider a shoulder check when it’s not safe to rely on your mirrors alone – for example, to check any blind spot when reversing, moving off from the kerb, joining a motorway or leaving a roundabout.

It is physically impossible to achieve all-round visibility using only the mirrors. The coverage angle of your mirrors and your effective field of view do not sum to 360 degrees. You will have at least two blind spots to the side, two A-pillar blind spots to the front and in many cars additional rear blind spots.

Try it for yourself - sit in the driver seat of your car in a safe open space, then ask someone to slowly walk around the car in an outward spiral. It should become readily apparent that at certain angles and distances, they disappear from view entirely unless you turn your head.

For me Cython truly shines when interfacing to C++.
>It seems like a much needed improvement over the old plan which will have less costs and inconvenience...

This is true. (Along with everything else you posted.) At the same time though, all of this will mean less money for contractors. I have no problem with that, just wondering how much resistance this thing will meet? Because I know a lot of entities out there were banking on making a lot of money off of MTA lines in the near future.
I think there is a potential for them to exceed human performance in all driving conditions. Machines can perceive and react much faster than humans, and once the perceptual and control problems are solved, all of them will become uniformly "good" at driving in difficult conditions.

BUT (and there's always a "but"), the problem is exponentially hard, and it can't be solved with today's technology.

I agree with you that widespread adoption will require modification of roadways, and potentially also segregation of autonomous and human-controlled traffic streams.
Thank you for your response!! I actually didn't know that 5c didn't receive iOS 12. If iOS 11 was the last OS I was using before I left Apple, then it was definitely a problem. Even after switching out the battery, the camera took 15 seconds to open and web pages would freeze upon loading. I tested them side by side on my gigabit wifi even!

I don't want to hate on Apple. I have no allegiances to anyone in particular. I just am a cheapo user that values basic functionality, some speed, some longevity.

I don't put a premium on privacy or animojis or nice cameras or huge amounts of storage :)
The plates in the picture look like Massachusetts to me. Also looks like an older NY plate on the right. MA has plenty of these types in the west of the state, so that'd line up too.
> Cheating on your spouse is not ethical but it is legal,

Not everywhere.

If you are in the U.S. military it's illegal and punishable under Article 134, with a maximum punishment of dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for up to 1 year.

Depending on the state, again in the U.S., it can also be a crime. In Virginia it's a Class 4 misdemeanor according to Virginia Code § 18.2-365/ It's also grounds for divorce.
As the article notes, Swarm is the same company that illegally launched their first prototypes without FCC approval.

Blind spot can be greatly reduced. Just take a look at convex, wide-angle mirrors that cars have in EU.
That's easy. Depending on the interest rate, condo fees, taxes, etc, a 1 million home is about $4500 (less when the interest rates were lower, I think).

If you have a couple of DINKs, it's 2250 per person per month, or about $27000/year. 150k/year per person, about 90-100k/year after tax, and that's well under 30% of your take home pay.

I used round numbers and I'm probably off, but even if you have to tweak the math, it's pretty easy to see where people are coming from.

When I was looking to buy in the area, a bunch of people looking at the open houses were couples with both people sporting their Amazon/Microsoft/Google/whatever backpacks or jackets.

> What if there was a loophole in the law that allowed one to not repay debt. Bankers will get that loophole fixed asap.

Uh, no. It's called bankruptcy.

One view is that bankruptcy laws in the US created a powerful bankruptcy bar whose special interest in enriching themselves through consumer-friendly bankruptcy laws became more powerful and focused than the special interest of banks.

There are already more 70 agencies and other organizations spending over $200 million per year of city money with little to no accountability for their spending or their results. That's before the Prop C tax takes effect. That will add another $300 million or so.

I’m 26 (or 27 I can’t remember) and I’m just a guy trying to do a bunch of good in a digital age that seems to care more and more about short term benefits and appeasing low attention spans than using technology to better humanity.

I’m a shitty Android (now attempting web / react / react native to build knophy.com) developer that’s been fired from every job I’ve had (besides being a soccer referee in high school) and I like to think outside the box. I don’t like being like everyone else. I don’t take offense very easily, and I don’t have a very easy time finding people to discuss these deep ideas with.

I do my best, and have actually found a couple from this very thread, but I don’t think the current landscape of the Internet is set up to value the kinds of contributions I’d like to bring. I’m designing knophy.com to hopefully help fix my personal problem.

Here’s some reading on that system if you’re interested and would like to help spread the idea:

It's a comparative thing, but I worked as a geologist/programmer. Nobody can avoid using computers. They are just so damn useful.
When I was growing up most of the dudes driving big lifted trucks were blue-collar mechanic/gearhead types.

Tesla and the EV movement in general is plausibly seen as threatening to these people.

Tesla is banned from even being sold in some states in part because of how they obsolete dealerships (and their associated service departments, which employ local mechanics).

EVs obsolete combustion engines and all the associated service companies and their employees. From the oil/gas industry to the service and maintenance of engines, many people paying attention feel threatened.

So I can at least empathize with these goons on some level, not that I agree with their actions. We're talking about a fundamental shift of a massive global industry, lots of jobs are in the midst of becoming irrelevant. It's not going to happen without any backlash.

If the worse of it is shit like UTI students parking their trucks in charging spots, that'd be kind of incredible.
I agree with you. These are useful concepts, but I've read 5 minute blog posts that convincingly explained these. Spreading this instruction over days/weeks seems to make my point.

Passive safety. A-pillar might be so bulky because it contains curtain airbag and provides structural stability necessary for good crash rating.
Sorry, no, NDA at what not. But, it was a very technology driven hedge fund, not one of the big banks you read about in the news.
I think people discover something new soon after a set of preconditions are met. Then once people know about it, it becomes easier for later people to discover it, because this knowledge starts to be incorporated in speech, other fields of knowledge, and culture.

The concept of zero did not exist before a certain time. Now my four year old gets what zero is, without me ever having to really explain it.

Perspective in painting did not exist before a certain time. Now 10 year olds can draw using perspective, without having to be taught.

Distinctions between certain colors did not appear to exist in various cultures before they suddenly did. Blue and green were considered different shades of the same color.

Certain harmonies did not exist in music before a certain time. Now tiny children make up new songs with those harmonies.

Double entry bookkeeping didn't exist before a certain time.

Barbed wire didn't exist before someone invented it. Until then ranchers in areas with little wood had to use shrubs and hedges to try to keep cows from getting out, or just herded the cattle around semi-nomadically.

The way you are able to think about a problem is influenced by language, perception of the things around you, art, and culture. In a world that understands the Pythagorean Theorem, it's easier to figure out the Pythagorean Theorem.

Also I agree, a lot of software design patents are bullshit.

There are definitely great indie games out there - Binding of Isaac is excellent, Pillars of Eternity (I & II) are what a modern Baldur's Gate would feel like - yes, Obsidian was bought by Microsoft but that's after the release of these two, and they were still considered indie before then - and Into the Breach is easily in my top 3 for 2018 games.

Texas seems to be more of an "oil" state than an "energy" state

That's something of an old myth, perpetuated by people still remembering the soap opera "Dallas," and assuming that applied to the whole state.

There's a reason that Houston calls itself "The Energy Capital of the World." Lots of energy companies there, not just oil companies.

Even if you did make this adjustment, there isn't a good way to know you've done it properly. I just avoid relying only on mirrors. I don't feel safe unless I turn to look.
> That year — 2014 — three young quantum gravity researchers came to an astonishing realization. They were working in physicists’ theoretical playground of choice: a toy universe called “anti-de Sitter space” that works like a hologram.

Wow, so we truly are in a simulation

Edit: Sorry, I thought this was a funny play on ambiguous words, but apparently HN disagrees!
Obviously this is a hypothetical example and I cannot predict the future. If you want to talk seriously then take self-driving cars, where humans kill over a million people per year and we are very likely to have AIs that would kill less than that, but still a nonzero amount, within 20 years.

In my view it would be unethical to stop the deployment of such AIs on the grounds that we don't "understand" them well enough or can't predict their behavior in every hypothetical circumstance, because we can still test them well enough to know with statistical certainty that they will save many, many lives.
In 2003, Indianapolis completely closed the major Interstate artery through downtown over the summer to replace all the bridges at once[1]. It went pretty smoothly, faster than expected and under budget (the contractor was awarded a bonus of $1MM for every day it reopened ahead of schedule). I-65 and I-70 are pretty major arteries across the country, luckily Indy has a convenient ring interstate, 465, that most through traffic was able to utilize, as well as plenty of alternative highways for locals to use to get to and around downtown.

I don't imagine something similar would work all that well in the Bay Area, though, since there's really only two routes to take up and down the peninsula, and both are near capacity already.

Looks like they did it again last summer, to a lesser extent [2]. I no longer live in the area, so don't have any firsthand knowledge of how smoothly that went.

I'm unsure if it's true and haven't come across any data backing up the claim but I was once told that babies don't necessarily enjoy salty food. However, manufacturers would add salt to the food in the expectation that parents would pre-taste it, project their own preference for salt, and then not purchase the same brand of baby food again if it didn't meet their own personal "saltiness" expectations.
Politicians are rarely if ever rewarded for thinking long-term. (note that this often applies to corporate executives too)
Yes, and in that calculation (price slash hours of entertainment) movies mostly lose.
I think high tuition is a symptom of easy access to credit and a focus on college education. A university education isn't right for many people, yet we're continually pressured to go that route and accept the high cost of tuition as a given.

A lot of what we're taught in higher education isn't particularly relevant to future job success. Does it really matter if I know that bananas likely reduced the need for agriculture in Africa, likely leading to the limited technological advancement in the region? Maybe, if I'm going into history or something, not not if I'm in a technical field.

I think we should put _less_ emphasis on college during high school, have more opportunities to try different fields in high school, and improve students' access to job demand and expected pay figures when choosing a degree. We should also make getting loans less easy and remove rules that prevent bankruptcy from erasing those loans (e.g. no more federal student loans). Ideally, by graduation, a student will either have a marketable certification, apprenticeship, or college level courses completed, and college will take 2-3 years for a bachelor's degree.

Also, let's remove most of the standardized testing. I'm convinced it's more harmful than helpful, especially in primary education.
The EP and EC are by no means lightweights as long as any act voted or adopted by them becomes law, with the obligation of nation states to ratify it and transpose into national laws and regulations.

The fiscal union was flawed from the onset, which is why Margaret Tatcher opposed the UK joining the Eurozone. And she was right to do so.

People in Poland, Hungary and Romania should fight for democracy, as opposed to waiting for the EU to fix their problems. Democracy is won in the street, it isn't granted by decree.

I don't think using such a poor design as a standard example of visibility is fair. Most cars have a far greater range of vision than the camaro, seeing as it's a low-seated, low-slung, small-windowed muscle coupe.

Also, a Camaro doesn't have B-Pillars the way a sedan or crossover does. I suppose they technically may be B-Pillars, but their rear (whether they are considered B or C) pillars are placed where a traditional C-Pillar goes in a 4-door vehicle.

Additionally, as I've mentioned elsewhere in the thread, checking over your shoulder should always be done in conjuction with checking your mirrors. Mirrors first, head check 2nd. Checking over your shoulder is a tried and true method of verifying that the space to the side and rear of your vehicle is clear. It is safe and effective.
Not as clickbait as the headline might lead you to believe.

TL;DR: The evidence is that static types reduce bugs, but not as much as you might expect. Test-driven development (per studies) does more to reduce bug count. But static types are good for enabling tools that can help you program better.

After years of doing integrations, I've seen one(!) HATEAOS web service and it's being replaced by GraphQL right now.

I like the idea of having semantic content, but it is suffocating under the weight of all the overcomplicated designed-by-committee abstractions and formats. In fact, the real web that we're using is becoming less and less semantic every year.

I wish someone re-standardized XML without all the complicated edge case garbage and with better handling of namespaces. So it would actually get used for documents again. JSON is not a good document format, and it seems everyone is busy re-inventing XML in JSON right now.

Let's say I want to define my own concept and put it on a web page. Is there even an "official" way to do it right now, without namespaces in HTML5? Theoretical example:

<html>
<head>
<concept tag="computer-game" guid="c1a3e0cb-5872-4e5a-8dce-b8afc00772db" />
<concept attribute="year-published" guid="ba073188-8bd6-47a7-9065-eb55c4a8b908" />

It's especially weird that many cars opt for LEDs in the corner of the mirror that light up when blind-spot sensors detect a vehicle in the blind spot. Seems both less effective, more failure-prone, and more expensive than a simple blind spot mirror.
Ah, it was so obvious and strong to me (3 certificates and many courses) that I didn't think this was debated.

I would be interested (if you have the energy) to see which Coursera and Edx courses you preferred to the Udacity courses you liked.
How much a private company pays for infrastructure and protection has nothing to do with the Friendman Doctrine.

It has to do with the consistency of due process from the group demanding payment.

The only meme you presented was the idea that groups recognized as governments are a more respectable group to pay and secondly that their arbitrary levies are to be respected at any arbitrary amount. And that combination of ideas working together is pretty new, there is simply no reality to support the view of the world someone else convinced of when you were young. You can donate directly to the Treasury if you want to imagine more roads and schools are going to be built.
One problem is the paradigm of the browser and the expectations behind it. Websites are intended to load in a second, or at worse, a few seconds, so waiting any longer for an entire application would be excruciating.

But no one minds downloading a multi-megabyte or gigabyte game over Steam or console, because users are trained to expect that to take a while.

So what's needed, in my mind, is something with a user experience between the two - for games and applications to run in something more akin to a "package manager" mode than a basic browser window. Or maybe, on the web, have some alternative content to distract the user while the content downloads.

The size of the entire download could possibly be reduced by having browsers ship with some standard plugins and modules, maybe runtimes (imagine having most of the Unity framework already in the browser.)
