I mostly agree. However, the rankings surface the "most recommended" courses not the "best". "Most recommended" being more objective (easier turn into a number) than "best".

Udacity is the 3rd most recommended course provider after Coursera and edX. Those courses will make it into v2.

It seems to me that the comments on the learning to learn course generally read like positive recommendations, so I think HN disagrees with you there [0]. But I do want to experiment with different sentiment analyzers.

Yeah, exactly this.

Even games released by superstars like Edmund Mcmillen have flops. The culture around game designers isn't to this point YET.
9 States and DC have laws prohibiting non-EVs from parking in EV charging spots. If you want them ticketed, you call the cops.

Once this stuff stabilizes a bit, games wrapped up as progressive web apps might become a thing. Could be an interesting way to get distribution outside of the app stores via regular search engines for a lot of indie developers using e.g. unity. Also a nice way for mainstream game developers to show of demos without requiring cumbersome installations, lengthy detours via some app store, etc.
Quanta is great, but there's definitely a limit to what can be portrayed to a popular audience and this is well past it.
Agree. Near me, most of the "brodozers" are worth substantially more than a Tesla.
Blind spot mirrors solve this issue, and they are very cheap. I am surprised they are not mandated by manufacturers.
Some car companies are more conscious about this than others. Tesla has a refreshingly anti-fragile approach, where Waymo is heavily relying on data captured through massive amounts of infrastructure.
Here is a real life schedule. Not to harsh on you but making family time more important is a tad more difficult than you're making it seem

Me: leave home 7:30am. Generally get back around 6:30pm. Make dinner, work out. Do any chores/else needs to get done. Go to sleep.

Her: class during day. leave at 7:30am. Generally back home for lunch and then gone again til 4:30ish. Few hours of homework. work out. chores/else needs to get done.

Weekends - she works night shifts at the hospital so she needs to sleep ASAP friday afternoon. I get up sat morning and read/watch tv.etc. She needs to sleep til about 2-3pm to do her night shift 7pm-7am. Then rinse and repeat. Factor in any tests or family commitments and you can see when this headache starts to get worse.

We certainly have some time together, but as I mentioned, if we do not plan it out exactly it is such little time that it can often be wasted entirely.
>There are savvy readers who follow writers and artists, not characters. There are savvy fans of Anime who do this as well. There are even people who do this with books and movies. There are some gamers who do this with games.

Yes, but game developers aren't the ones doing the art, or writing, for games.
That's fair. I surely agree that poorly made IP codes can also inhibit discovery and invention. And the article notes that the corrective time-space codes are "a lot smarter than us."
Ideas aren't worth much, execution is everything.

I would like to encourage you to act on those ideas because the real art is in translating those ideas into practical solutions. Everyone has their own ideas of what would solve a problem, but 99% of those ideas will not work because they are not grounded on reality.

Did you mean cannot publish?
You have good points. In a hypothetical scenario where the housing market was highly elastic, it would certainly lead to a huge movement of tech labor force to the Bay Area.

But I feel like that is the way SFBA will grow. Every city has its secret sauce, for SFBA it is tech. Instead of fighting it, I can imagine a scenario where the concentration of Tech leads to a transformation of the area to be more like NYC. Or maybe it will take a different direction.

As naive as it sounds, I still believe in Tech as a force for good (not Big Tech necessarily). I moved here from Austin, and folks there talk about how the tech industry is growing, but its still Satellite offices for Big Tech. The kind of talent I see in SFBA is staggering.
I don't know how this port is doing it, but with emscripten it might be as easy as adding the `-s LEGACY_GL_EMULATION=1` compile flag.
> I love how you think it’s the government’s job to solve homelessness but then don’t want to fund the government.

That's an uncharitable interpretation of my views and I don't think you're arguing in good faith.

I have no problem funding good government policies. San Francisco's policies are not good. The homeless services are a total administrative and bureaucratic disaster and pumping more money into that system is not going to help homeless people.
The system needs to be sane. The network should not be able to force your car to drive into a wall. Like any safety critical system, it should fail-safe. That means if the data it receives over the network would be unsafe to follow, given information from the other sensors, then it should discount that information as erroneous. This is something humans do all the time when, for example, reading a stranger's intentions.
Based on just a cursory Google search, the base price for a Chevy Silverado is $37,600. The Model 3 is $46,000 (before incentives). If you have the income to afford a new Chevy truck (especially with a lift kit), you can also afford a Tesla.

Having grown up in a place where people drove pickup trucks for real (as in not purely symbolic) reasons, I can tell you from experience that the trucks in that photo are status symbols in exactly the same way a Tesla is. The idea that this is about "rich people" is pretty far off the mark. It's about totally empty cultural signifiers and nothing else.
Such a turnover would need an potential leader and such a leader is not in sight. Even if there were such a character they'd have to deal with characters like Rees-Mogg or Boris Johnson who will always claim that a "proper" Brexit were possible if the UK would show the "strength" against EU and not being as "weak" as Mrs. May.

Mind also that maybe a majority is pro remain now, but there is a notable amount of people who "want control" and by the Brexit vote "finally were heard" (even if consequences are bad it was their free and independent decision!) and where it is really hard to convince them to admit that their vote was "wrong" and tontolarate that other "smart people" in parliament overrule that will of "The People", again. This teaches those people, that voting doesn't matter.

In my opinion from a British perspective the best thing would be the software possible Brexit and then rejoin in a few years. However a soft Brexit isn't in the EU's interest. The EU has to distinguish between member and non-member. (While Norway and Switzerland historically have such complicated in between positions)

The only other way would be Brexiter to admit their failure and a charismatic leader without previous relevance who manages to unite the big divide with a magic wand. But I don't see such a person.
The implied solution is that companies should not start businesses in cities, and if they do, not become very successful businesses. They should self throttle.

What other solution could be surmised from your claim?
Who are the nerds sharing anti-tesla stories? I only see this (on the web) from people shorting the stock, spouting ridiculous claims about the company and maybe people who love driving a fancy german sports car. Most nerds I know think the tesla is a fun and cool technical achievement, even if they don't want to waste their money on a hunk of metal.
I've been driving around Africa for 2.5 years now. Both Congos, Nigeria, Angola, Mali, just to name a few.

Having someone in your car with a gun is not a good idea. Chances are they'll just run away anyway (they don't want to get shot anymore than you do), and if a "bad guy" sees a gun in your car, the first thing he's going to do is shoot, then ask questions later. If you don't have a gun he'll come over and shake hands and scope out the situation.

I've been to 30 countries here now and have never, ever felt the need for a gun. Recently I rolled up on guys guarding their cows with AK47s. They were more than happy to let me hold it while they cycled the selector from safe to semi to full auto... only after that did he check and I saw there was a round in the chamber, and a full magazine!
> , because someone has probably already thought of it and done it

This is the worst reason to not start a business. Markets are often big enough for multiple companies and many billion dollar companies were started in a market with previous competition, then dominated them by being better.

First mover advantage is a myth. It's hardly an advantage. It's only a disadvantage when the market is already flooded with options and a 2-3 monopolies already exist with it.
The reason why those seizures are happening is why this "escalatory" bulletin is newsworthy.

This is another bullet point in an escalation trend we've been seeing between the West and China, mostly surrounding infrastructure and political pressure/flurries of arrests and high profile detainments, in both regions.
Definitely, any small plumbing work or electrical work I've been able to take care of. Beats getting charged hundreds of dollars for a 20 minute job.

I'm also a firm believer in trying to do as much maintenance myself as possible whether it's home/vehicle. If you own something you're going to care about it more and go the extra mile to make sure the work is done correctly. There are some jobs though where I know it's over my head.
I have one that negotiates power delivery on both ends. But I don’t believe it was manufactured commercially — it’s just a bare board with no housing. I’ll ask the guy who made it if he’d publish the design files.
I'm going to go with John Carmack on that one. I think Oculus was a great example of that. I'm not saying they didn't have potential before he joined, but merely him moving to there caused a huge amount of press.
So much this. The "great" thing about the world being a mostly terrible place, is the government can pick and choose where to intervene for reasons other than helping people. This gives the government some cover because people say "well Hussein is a bad guy" even though we ignore the bad guys in a bunch of other countries out there for completely mysterious reasons.
In my California driver test, I was penalized for not looking over my shoulder dramatically enough (a slight head turn and a glance over my shoulder out the side window was not sufficient apparently) when switching into a left turn lane which was carved out of the median island and couldn’t possibly have had anyone driving up to the left.
Ick, that is a bug. Mind sending me details on your browser setup? yaj@the-domain-of-the-linked-story.
I don’t think it’s assumed at all. People just come into these conversations with overly-simplistic solutions (Just Add Housing™) and if anyone disagrees or points out that it’s actually a complicated, multi-faceted problem, they’re wrong and a NIMBY. Who pays for it all is a huge issue, and I don’t think there is an obvious universally agreeable answer. If there was it wouldn’t be fought over so fiercely.

But don’t point that out here! It’s not enough to agree that the area needs more housing—you aparently have to also profess that it’s obviously the only solution, and that there are no trade offs or complexity to consider.
Yes, I think it is trying to imply the causation that the industry wants to enforce.

I would posit that people who had time and money for (undeniably) damaging treatments of ancient times also had wealth and better skin.

>You don't have a right to just be in America.

Nobody is claiming this straw man. Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_detention_in_the_U...

So you agree that China hasn't thrown Americans into death camps? This rhetoric leans more towards being motivated in part from a failing trade war with China, not based on a real threat.
I think anything can be portrayed to the popular audience. Other comments here explaining the terms used in the article suggest that this is possible. The only problem is that some fine information would most likely be lost with a simplified explanation.
They may be rich (well, affluent, you don't need to be "rich" to own a Tesla), but they likely live in the town.

I'm from a small town, and there's a small number of people in town that own expensive cars (A Lotus and Lamborghini come to mind), as well as a number of affluent residents that own Teslas.

And it doesn't surprise me at all that those that love their lifted pickups don't like the Tesla owners. Even though though it seems silly to say your $30K - $50K truck with $10K+ of lift kits, tires and engine/exhaust mods is somehow morally superior to someone's $50K Tesla.
How many passengers died in the USA last year on Part 121 flights due to aircraft accidents caused by human pilot error? When do we expect to develop pilot AIs with 1/100 the error rate of humans? How will those pilot AIs cope with unexpected environment conditions or mechanical failures which aren't programmed in advance?
It seemed scary at first but our whole family is actually much happier and closer than ever before and none of us regrets it at all.
> I trust silicon more than I trust meat.

I'm halfway onboard with you. The difference is in what I trust it to do. I trust meat more than silicon when meat is driving attentively and safely. There are many drivers out there with fantastic control of their vehicle, especially in bad situations.

The other half is that I don't trust meat to actually drive attentively and safely. I trust silicon to actually drive safely, unlike people.
Two interesting takes...

Learning how to learn is a vital part of this list because online courses are notorious for having people burn out and lose interest so it's especially important that these people can stick with a course using actual techniques.
>If one were to ask "what kind of coverage might we expect from a paper controlled by a billionaire industrialist?", we might actually predict a right-wing perspective.

That depends on what he's selling, and also on what his allies in government or elsewhere want him to publish.
The MTA doesn’t do this because people actually depend on the subway at night.

Getting around London after the underground is shut is incredibly inconvenient, and even they have been moving the most important trains to all-night service.
I mean, in the long arc, sure, but I'd really like to not see it get there.

The Huawei thing just seems so avoidable. We renege on a deal with Iran that the Iranians were honoring, we start a trade war with China for mostly domestic-political reasons, and then we lump the 2 together into a justification for borderline-kidnapping of their citizen in Canada?

Whatever happened to getting together at the table and negotiating about this stuff?
Here's some context.

October, China ups the rhetoric
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/10/china-vows-defend-tai...

January, China ups the rhetoric more. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/01/world/asia/xi-jinping-tai...

Taiwan is a military ally of the USA. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_non-NATO_ally

And then immediately after this the govt said travel there is risky.

If China tries to invade Taiwan to take it back, the USA must go to war or the entire alliance network on top of which world peace was constructed will lose its reputation. For our grandchildrens' futures lest NATO collapse (because why contribute if the USA won't defend you), going to war with China to deny them Taiwan might be the only option.

Shit is more serious than you think. War is brewing. Right now.
As you said that sugar water is not very concentrated. But baby food tends to be excessively sweet, almost dessert-like. I have struggled with this first hand as a parent.
This is a well written and educational article, but it’s also missing the point. For a dualist, no amount of material testing is going to determine a spiritual/ideal/pickyourlabel characteristic.

Even if you hold the dualist position there’s nothing here to disagree with.

Sadly she didn’t address a question that’s interested me since reading Feynman’s QED: how do electrons “decide” how to scatter?

I think we need one that applies generically. My hotel in SF fit this to a T. Trendy concrete walls and industrial design that photographed well. But also shitty single pane windows that didn't close properly over a loud street, two-ply toilet paper thinner than a single ply on decent TP and no where to properly sit and do work.
This is a neat result and writeup, but the title very misleading clickbait.
That's a major goalpost move.

Let's evaluate it for a moment, though. You posit Jones helped inform humanity about atrazine... but your tallies indicate that at least 3.2M of the 4.9M (65%) "making frogs gay" search results don't mention the chemical (as they'd show up in both queries if they did).

Author confuses thinking, and ability to act with consciousness the hard problem. If you want to debate with philosophers, you must be ready to dig deep into definitions.

When physicists use dabble with philosophy, run.

Even philosophers (like Dave Chalmers) can't explain their thinking in detail in podcasts or popular articles. They just put some ideas there but it does not represent the analytical thinking well.
It is not displaying on layers in the block. I have a 15" LookingGlass. The depth appears continuous, not in discrete layers.

The field of view is, to me, very wide. I'm not trying to show it to an audience and it is more than enough to immerse me. It is also important to note that the field of view comes with parallax: you can really see around corners. It is not just a wide field of view on the same stereo pair.
And this is why I oppose the current system of shareholders having control of companies.
Similar topic was discussed on HN a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17900759 I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.
Side mirrors are called that either because they're mounted on the sides, or to see what's beside you. Specifically they're not there so you can see the sides of your own car.

As mentioned in other comments, what you seen in side mirrors are for situational awareness. When performing a manoeuvre, turn your head around to get the best view.
[edit] Ok, so I actually read the whole article now. I still have a small amount of skepticism but two things sway me towards thinking this is real: 1) the author got called to the White House to sit down with the CIA director and Condoleezza Rice to shut down an earlier story, so clearly there are high-up people watching him and trying to shut him up at all costs. 2) there are a surprising amount of people in the CIA doing idiotic and more career-risky things here.

My original idea of how it went down was that some mid-level Joe Schmoe looks him up and calls him to spook him, which I didn't believe for a number of reasons. But if, say, Condoleezza Rice was personally watching this guy (which she was) and ordered someone to go intimidate him, then I would not be surprised.

[original comment] Yeah... I'm a little skeptical. I completely believe that there's horrifyingly extensive dragnet surveillance out there and something like this is _possible_. But if you've got access, why would you risk it with some stupid comment like this, to a reporter of all people? Seems a little fishy.
Should public health agencies trust social media?
See https://research-information.bristol.ac.uk/en/publications/flu-detector--tracking-epidemics-on-twitter(411a88b6-1cb3-4cfa-bc23-c75ccfda8ef8).html

There have been numerous articles like the linked article about research indicating that detection of contagious disease outbreaks by monitoring social media content could allow public health agencies to act more expeditiously to respond to outbreaks and thereby more effectively protect public health. However, many of these articles predate the knowledge of cyber-sabotage of election campaigns via social media in the last few years, and the possibility of similar cyber-sabotage of public health deserves some consideration. For example, it could be expected that practitioners of germ-warfare, germ-crime, or germ-terrorism could attempt to subvert the public health arencies' response to their offenses with disinformation sent through social media. How should governments act now to make best use of available data and while protecting from the threats?
Jürgen Schmidhuber on Consciousness (AMA on Reddit, 2015)
This can be easily solved; have the property owners and tow truck companies reach an arrangement where the tow truck company understands they are free to tow any pickup truck in those spots, without asking for permission each and every time. These sort of arrangements are common already. A privately owned lot will have a deal with a particular tow truck company wherein the tow truck company is allowed to pull any car that doesn't have the right parking sticker (for example.)

To make sure the right towing company is called, the lot owner puts up signs detailing the terms of parking and stating which towing company is responsible for the lot. Every time somebody sees a car parked in violation with the stated rules, they can call that towing company who will show up and tow anybody they can, making a tidy profit from each car they tow (they profit by holding those cars for ransom.)

These signs are a fairly common sight in America: https://i.imgur.com/nPYaOBf.gif This system works, only the occasional idiot will dare testing those signs.
