Cars are explicitly licensed by the government (for a fee) to use the government-owned roads and resources, and specific laws exist about leaving a car parked on one of these roads (where and how long). Similarly cars left on private property need to be left there with permission of the property owner. Otherwise fines and removal occur, and yes, eventually you DO lose ownership of the vehicle.

Just a side note, but one way of sifting through the features commenters have been suggesting and prioritizing them should you be wanting to create a product out of this is the Kano model. (I'm not affiliated, but here's a great guide to the model: https://foldingburritos.com/kano-model/)

Yes, but the entire point of this paper is that those 'scraps' are actually worth less than the economic gains produced by the ideas that receive these high top incomes.
I think this is a very very interesting idea. The only problem that makes me nervous is telecoms/ISPs capping the line or requiring some propietary interface to it (something done this days to an extent) and quirks. If they feel they are going to lose control or similar. Just a thought, I don't really know if it could be a real problem though.
As you can see from my comment history I'm pretty bullish on solar. I think he's right about personal (rooftop) solar. Utility scale solar is about $1/watt, installed, in the US. Residential rooftop is more than $3/watt, installed, for retrofits. Up until now most rooftop systems have been retrofitted instead of built with the house.

Retrofit or not, rooftop systems can't use sun trackers like utility scale systems. Rooftops also tend to be less optimized for insolation than solar fields. So the annual-energy-per dollar gap is even wider than the installed-watts-per-dollar gap. If I had to decide how to allocate a billion dollars between utility-scale and rooftop solar systems, I'd put 100% into utility-scale.

I'll be more optimistic about rooftop systems if the US can get installed costs down. Not requiring any additional land is nice. But the US has too much open space and too high costs for rooftop installation for rooftop PV to be a cost-effective decarbonization method at present.

> "I’ve never been able to understand Pearl’s notation:" -- Gelman.

That should not be surprising:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

Accepting Pearl would amount to stating that some of the procedures we(statisticians) have been using, championing and sourcing funds for, for half a century are seriously flawed. Thats going to have consequences on future funding. Of course there will be resistance.

Tony Hoare is worth paraphrasing -- some methods are so crisp and small that they are obviously correct. Others are so complex that one cannot find obvious errors. Piling on a hierarchy of random variables upon random variables and parameters upon prameters lies firmly in the latter class.

This is actually a charitable analogy because some uses of statistical methods are incorrect but the error lies in incorrect use -- Using a tool or a technique to answer a question that it cannot answer. Smothering it with complexity and phrases like 'but real world', 'but noisy big data' helps to muddy the waters enough to deflect the attention from the fundamentals
difference beween conditioning and intervening.

I can be sympathetic to a claim that a method is more effective solving a complicated problem than a simple one. On the otherhand, if it turns out that the body of theory on which the proposed method has been built, the same proposed method that is presumably correct for the complicated case, cannot deal with a pedagogic toy scenario correctly, that raises my eyebrows.
> The unexamined premise of this question is that society at large benefits from the existence of Amazon

It's not actually a premise, though. The point is that there are good ideas that take large personal risk and investment to build. Swap in Google if you prefer, or any other successful company.

That being said, Amazon is pretty clearly enormously beneficial. AWS alone has enabled thousands of companies that never would otherwise have been able to exist, and saved other companies millions of dollars on hardware, not to mention saving electricity (by better utilization), etc.

Every time a company gets big people whine and then vote with their dollars by shopping there anyway. Why do they do that? Because it benefits them. People buy things from Amazon because it's better. Amazon makes a profit that is smaller than that value delta - the residual is the consumer surplus, aka the net benefit to you and me.

>If you create a company, you take care of it and all of its members.

Companies are not created to take care of their employees. They are created to make profit and/or accomplish a societal goal. If a company is non-profit then it's just the latter.

As someone from a post-communist state, it's plainly obvious to me that people on average don't work as well as they could if the threat of termination does not exist. My parents told me anecdotes about their coworkers who were reading books on the job, even playing videogames, and that's in an aero-space design bureau in the 80ies, in less elite organizations systematic alcohol consumption by groups of employees on the job was not something to be surpised by. And that pattern repeats itself in many countries where employment is semi-guaranteed.

Google likes to self-sabotage, what can I say? Chromecast Audio is one of the few products in recent years that added real value to the Android platform and finally made easy, cheap high-quality audio casting possible (vs. shitty Bluetooth casting on Echo). The Home app is shit and needs a simpler interface but the fundamentals are good.

The only problem was it was priced wrong at $30. At $15 it was a no-brainer. Maybe that's a loss for Google but it's one of the best candidates to get the masses into the Google ecosystem, and eventually upgrade to the full Chromecast and other devices. They really blew it here.

The same thing repeats over and over at Google. Great fundamentally well engineered products, only to blow it all at the last moment when it is about to catch on with the consumer. It's like Googlers have an aversion with human contact and prefer to retreat when they get too close.

I don't believe that the risks don't exist. I believe that what risks exist are extremely unlikely to be something that can be pointed out with a one-line comment on HN. I don't believe that because of this article. I believe that because lasers are unbelievably useful and widely-deployed in industry and tend to cause immediate, visible, and unmistakable damage, so organizations like OSHA have studied them extensively and failures are expensive enough that operators put actual effort into minimizing risk.

I would have thought that that it would be safe to assume that people wouldn't strap 200kW motors to two-ton lumps of metal and send them hurtling around under purely manual control with no physical limits or safety barriers separating them from foot traffic, but here we are.

If the price we pay for eliminating the leading cause of violent death worldwide is that we have to stop pointing cameras at everything, so be it.
> That Aeye would buy him a new camera was pretty cool.

I wonder if they had warning signs telling people about the active lasers and possible camera damage. If they didn't, I feel like replacing the camera is just the right thing to do. It was CES, people are bound to have cameras.

For my curiosity, do you have one issue repo, or are the issues split up by repo?

We have the latter, and it's monster annoying to try and discover in which repo folks filed tickets, because there's nothing in GitLab that validates the ticket belongs in the repo.

Given a magic wand, I would actually just switch off the issue tracker for every repo we have, and create `the-org/issues` or maybe even `the-org/the-org` so I can have `the-org/the-org/wiki` and `the-org/the-org/issues`

> The internet doesn't really tolerate serious technical barriers stopping someone from automatically multiplexing the content from various social networks into a single read-write stream

If the legal barrier went away, and someone surmounted the "unserious" (which I doubt) technical barriers to doing that, then the content providers would go out of business. That's arguably a good thing, but I suspect many people would disagree. The problem is the profit motive and financing model for what consumers want, not the degree of decentralization. Google didn't screw up the internet; people did, by preferring what Google offers.

The threat of randomly being fired will cause many focused workers to change how they act. They stop trying to help each other, blame increases and internal politics dominates.

If this continues the remaining employees try to hire new employees with a fatal flaw so when the next wave comes they will be the first out.
That's just being idealistic.

We have multiple severely handicapped children. One of them was diagnosed with – this is a clinical diagnosis, not a politically incorrect slur – severe retardation early on. This child understands many things but cannot talk, and took 10 years to toilet train (I changed diapers for 16 years altogether). There isn’t enough intelligence to hope this child will ever be able to be self-supporting.

Genetic tests reveal no known cause. We knew something was wrong because there was a slight variation in brain ventricle size in utero. In my view, the child has something very close to Angelman’s syndrome, which pairs the retardation with a pretty sunny disposition.

I feel overjoyed to have these children and would never have dreamed of aborting them. The only problem is that I am saving not only for our retirement, but for care of the children once we die. It is a little bit stressful in that regard.
