American buses really aren't that gross, they just don't go a lot of the places most people need to go. Plus they stop running at weird times (the one that stopped at the place I interned during the summer had the last pickup time at 6PM, so if you weren't done by then you needed an uber. Plus that office park was the most rural stop in the bus system so you had to live further down town if you needed to take it.

>Everyone benefits from inexpensive food; should the government make food tax-funded?

Yes, and they do. What do you think agricultural tax-subsidies are?

Also the strawman problems you pose just to solve are a bit absurd, for reasons that I mentioned before about the nature of regional monopolies, and the fact that road costs are already covered at different levels of the government.
I've owned quite a few cars in my life and not once was my payment > $400 even when putting very little down (usually my current car). I only buy gently used, reasonably priced cars though. My current truck is a 2007.

How about making it illegal for an autonomous car to contain no people when it's moving? (With licenced exemptions where necessary)

I know that might sound stupid, but what kind of world are we planning here...

One where old people, drunk people, blind people, tired people, children, or those without a licence, can get exactly where they are going?

Or one where we can sack all the delivery and taxi drivers?

Because if it's just the second, then self driving cars are significantly less interesting for me. For most cities self driving cars are not going to be better from an environmental / congestion perspective than properly funded public transport.

No, it's not that simple. When recaptcha particularly wants to punish a user they start fading in tiles which doesn't make the captcha any harder for ML to solve, it only frustrates real humans.

Furthermore, when the security level of the captcha is configured by the web admin to the lowest level, users are able to use a noscript version of the captcha. When you do this, it becomes clear that the javascript version is deliberately rejecting correct answers to make you solve more and more challenges just because they're in the mood to fuck with you. This becomes clear because the noscript captcha from the same IP and same browser will accept the correct answer the first time, every time.

While I still think Carnegie's book is a must read, I feel like it can be summed up by: "empathy, have some."

But his ethos is applied and over applied so much that some times it's a breath of fresh air when a sales person just cut to the chase. Especially in this day and age in most cases, the user probably have had a couple weeks to try and thoroughly read the manual on your product. The sales calls are basically a formality. Beating around the push just wastes everyone's time. Just my 2c.
With respect, if we hit this point, it really doesn't matter if the company wants to share the data or not, the government is taking it.

If you need some good news today, check page 34 on the new Ozone report:

http://ozone.unep.org/sites/default/files/Assessment_Panel/S...

The finding that the ozone layer is behaving as predicted - probably healing - is not unexpected. It was depleting due to the gases now controlled under the Montreal protocol, the emission of which is decreasing very rapidly.

This plot however shows the contribution of these gases to global warming. As you can see there, it is going down over time! Of course the contribution pales in comparison to CO2, Methane and N2O, but it is still significant. And, if nobody messes up, it will go down.

It can be done! It's the easiest part, but it is a start.

edit: It also says that the main reason for 20th century climate changes in the southern hemisphere summer is actually the ozone hole over Antarctica. When it closes (projected to 2060) the changes will be undone. (p. 38) (pending too much influence from other greenhouse gases) I haven't seen the details, but maybe there's hope for Australia.

DataGrail | Senior / Software Engineer | San Mateo, CA | $120k - $170k + 0.25% - %1 | ONSITE

DataGrail provides privacy as a service.

Our users are Chief Privacy Officers, Data Protection Officers, or GCs inside our customers. We build software to enable our customers to fulfill data access, data deletions, and opt outs as required by the EU Privacy Law (GDPR) and the new California privacy bill (CCPA).

Data privacy and data protection should be a no-brainer. But the reality is many departments within organizations are not well-equipped to comply, so we're trying to help make that a more seamless process. In doing so, we think this will help give users more control over their personal data.

We have paying customers and have recently raised $4.2m.

Our stack:

* aws (codedeploy, elasticbeanstalk, rds, lambda, kinesis, athena, etc)

* ruby/rails, go

* postgres, redis, s3

Looking for 3+ yrs exp for software engineer and 5+ yrs exp for a senior software engineer.

Experience with data engineering or data science a plus.

If interested, email my co-founder Ignacio, who runs eng: iz|at|datagrail.io

Hold on.
You're right. They say side, I say bottom - and it might make a difference. To the average reader it reads the same. I'd be fine if both approaches were covered and compared.
Googling provides results all over the place - I was using hyperbole for the 'nearly painful tap', but just to differentiate the methodology for tapping once lightly.
Also results seem to vary massively when looked at some people say it works, some people say it doesn't, some people say aspartame surface-tension is related (maybe it is, I was using Diet Coke).
My annoyance was just that there was a statement out there that says "This topic is false".
No way to query, qualify, anything.
It's reasonable that you'd pay a premium for the privilege of being able to leave the second you're ready to go, compared with say:

- Telling your car to do rideshare until 5pm, and then stand by until you're ready to go sometime between 5pm and 6pm.

- Telling your car to go park far away and you'll give it twenty minute's notice when you're ready to go so that it can come get you.

- Telling your car to park in a lot where it'll be boxed in and may take a few minutes of shuffling to get itself out.

That said, I definitely can see an issue here where everyone's cars all descend on the downtown trying to perform curbside pickups right at 5pm. You could imagine similar things happening in any parking lot environment (mall, movie theatre, amusement park, etc), where the prime kiss-and-ride location ends up being a giant snarl of self driving cars all trying to save their owners a five minute walk across some asphalt.
That's a very simplistic analysis since it ignores the difference in wear and tear between cruising at low speed versus driving at normal speed.

A car that's built to last 250,000 miles of normal driving can likely go much farther at low speed cruising, especially for an EV.

It is probably wrong to think of DNA as personal property. Its public use more closely resembles a commons which is shared by many. We don't give individuals the right to pollute air, for instance, simply because they own property that has air on it.

Likewise we should develop principles for information which when combined with other information can be used to transgress against 3rd parties' enjoyment of their own privacy.
I'm keen to see the phone evolve into a useful computer. Physical connections could be achieved with bluetooth adapters and the like.

Thanks for reading!

I wish I would blog more, too! I write so slowly that I have way more ideas than I have time to write.

>Apart from your rent and private health insurance what else about the cost of living in Manhattan (apart from rent, food) pushed your expenses to 7K a month. I'm assuming you moved to a lower cost of area without modifying your lifestyle too much, so it's crazy that you'd get such a dramatic decrease in cost just by moving.

Good question! One thing to keep in mind was that I don't have especially expensive tastes, but I also didn't adjust my lifestyle at all when I quit until I moved, so I could have lowered it from $6-7k if I put more effort in.

One big expense in New York is just the cost of socializing. In other areas, I feel like people socialize more at each other's houses. In New York, because housing is so expensive, it's hard to have a group of friends over, so people tend to meet at restaurants, which are expensive. And nobody has a car, but everyone lives spread out, so you spend a lot on Uber.

But if you're living in Manhattan, everyone around you is living this relatively high income / high spend lifestyle, so you don't really notice spending so much. And I'm not even talking like bottle service, five-star restaurant dining. Just like get brunch together, go do some activity that costs $30-50/person, have dinner, that could be like $100-200 in a single day.

Part of what keeps my costs down in Western Mass is that a) costs are just way lower and b) people around me don't have such a high income so normal activities that people choose are relatively cheap.
>what they're doing to themselves and their families.

This only encourages me. My DNA is on record in various places, and if any relative of mine commits a crime I want the honor of being the person who fucked them and sent them to prison. I would tout the event as an esteemed accomplishment.

Everyone seems to be worried about a sci-fi movie where clones are made from cheek swabs or corporations use DNA to deny certain services.

The former is a pipe dream and the latter is already (partially) illegal in the US via the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008.

If evilmegacorp is going to break the law today then they'll break it tomorrow as well.

Every conceivable scenario in which DNA can be used to harm an individual can be answered with "well a bad actor can already do that today using different methods".

As far as I'm concerned a database of DNA is no different than a database of mugshots or fingerprints.

Mugshots and fingerprints have both led to false-positives being reported.

"Oh but DNA might lead to a false-positive so it must never be used" differs little from "eyewitness testimony, mugshots, fingerprint analysis, confessions, and every single investigative technique ever used in the history of humanity has unassailably led to false positives therefore they should all be banned".

>Good quality reporting" is inherently and inescapably biased

This is dangerous nonsense and I think it is a travesty that such an opinion has been effectively normalized. News is supposed to be objective.

>It inherently and inescapably relies upon the point of view of the reporter

That's because modern journalism has been almost entirely replaced by activist journalism. The fact that choosing what to report on carries bias with it is not an excuse to present stories with non neutral points of view.

>how biases that do not challenge the majority intersection of "affluent, white, male" get so much leash in places like HN.

Nytimes is probably one of the most popular non tech sources on HN. Make a comment critical of diversity hiring practices, or immigration restrictions, or anything remotely right leaning, and watch the flood of downvotes. You're seeing what you want to see. Talk about bias.
It’s not all of a sudden. I worked for a McClatchy newspaper before 2010. This was before what now seems like annual layoffs, but there were still large cutbacks and buyouts because McClatchy made the mistake of buying the Knight Ridder papers (which includes the San Jose Mercury News and Miami Herald) at peak price, taking a huge loan to do so, not realizing that newspapers were a downward spiraling industry. McClatchy has been saddled with massive debt since, and while I was there, digital revenue wasn’t even enough to cover the debt interest.
Producing 3D images from 2D slices is easy. The problem is that the 2D images that a CT machine makes aren’t slices, but projections of the 3D volume onto various planes.

For example, if your image is

.........
..x...x..
.........
....x....
.x.....x.
..xxxxx..
.........

an image taken vertically will count the x-es in each column:

012121210

and one taken from the left or right will count them in each row:

0
2
0
1
2
5
0

Those 2 projections (probably; I haven’t checked this image) aren’t sufficient to reconstruct the image, but they already add significant constraints. For example, those 5 X-es in the next to last row can’t be in the first or last column (if they were there, the first image would start or end with a non-zero value)

The more projections you add at other than orthogonal angles, the more constrained the solutions become.
This is a stupid conspiracy theory to spread.

The cost difference is likely to be much more than between a present-day taxi and a car. The biggest cost for taxis is the labor of the driver, which usually dwarfs depreciation/maintenance/gas by an order of magnitude. If taxis are currently cheaper than car ownership for you, self-driving cars may be cheaper than taxis may be cheaper than that by a factor of 10x.

Would you pay 10x to avoid having to share seats, particularly for an activity that's still a fairly large chunk of the household budget?
I'm currently writing from my mobile office (the amtrak train).
