> There's also Brasilia that was supposed to be full of monumental grand plazas, but they learned people don't want to walk 3/4 of mile through a grass field outside their apartment tower just to get to the local market bodega.

As if people ever walk there :) It's only walkable if you are going from one apartment complex to another.

But the major problem is that there isn't much room for expansion. There is space, but it would mess up the planning. So they push people to 'satellite' cities.
Google or Apple don't need to acquire Lyft. They can just -- wallet style -- add an OS component to hail rides (using their own maps app). And they can even force it to be on the home screen at all times.

Boom. They instantly have a bigger market share than Lyft. And, for Google, maybe even Uber.

I would say Uber's biggest challenge is if Google and/or Apple decide to commoditize the ride hailing marketplace. The ride itself is already a commodity.

They're both more or less testing this already.

I could definitely see a foreign company buying Lyft, though.
Still only half of my femur fits on that economy seat. On 17-20 hour flight it's still major pain.
For extra points you could guarantee the structure of data by only allowing certain tools (selinux context maybe) that are trusted to write the files with the required structure.

That would save a lot of repeated wasteful parsing and checking.
> I'd like to say this is just politics but I'm not even sure it's good politics. How many people are really concerned about the size of Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc

Oh, lots and lots.

> If people are that concerned, why do so many people I know have Prime?

The reason so many of the people you know have Prime is because of Amazon's dominant market position.

Yes. But if they are THAT concerned they would be dropping Prime and shopping elsewhere.

The "lots and lots" - if they exist (you added no link) - are likely to be the Coastal Elites. The same minds who were so out of touch we got DJT. Regardless, to think that Middle America is going to go from "build a wall" to "break up Facebook" is, at best, a stretch. As politics goes, this is a non-issue.

p.a. After the crash of 2008 we were told by many a political "leader" (including the POTUS at the time) how there was too much power concentrated on Wall Street. Liz W was one of those "leaders". Yet there were no breakups, etc. While I wouldn't put SV in the same class as WS, it's hard to imagine anything changing.

> And I honestly think you're just being stubborn for some reason, because I'm pretty sure you understand the idea I'm conveying.

Indeed I do, it is logistically absurd. I'm talking about replacing one piece of cardboard with a different, more secure, piece of cardboard that resolves actual problems we have today. You're talking about smartphones, tokens, calling in, and a million other complex workarounds all in the name of hypothetical security.

I'd love to see you try to explain your system to an elderly or disabled person. I can explain mine: "Instead of giving them your SSN card, give them this card instead." Done. One sentence. That's literally all they have to know.

Plus your scheme has a huge hole. The second you moved away from physical tokens (which you now seem to acknowledge is unaffordable) to smartphones and now regular phones, you need a way to authenticate who you are. Which means you'll be giving people credentials, which can then be lost, stolen, or requested from vendors creating exactly the same issues we started with.

In other words you've managed to create an expensive logistical nightmare that the general public will hate all in the name of hypothetical security benefits that won't even work in practice. Neat.

Blenkhorn says that once she was back on the job market, the ageism she experienced was compounded by sexism. Despite her profound technical achievements, she was dismissed by recruiters as irrelevant and dull, as a “mom.” She recently completed a PhD in computer science and hopes the education will improve her chances in the job market.

Which is practically infuriating to read, once you take even a passing glance at her easily findable profile.

If recruiters are really saying that about her -- this just shows (yet again) how utterly useless they are at what you would think would be their core function:

That is, identifying and promoting technical talent.
I guess that the author started it to avoid relying on the IDE to be able to debug anything. He says that Visual Studio gets to use about 80% of the debug info available in the debugging files, I am curious to see what that 20% extra is about.
Ask HN: What do you like/dislike about open office plans?
Visual Studio's base installation is quite large for one. The complexity of locating the visual studio installation path is also extra work compared to scripts which only need to call a single executable which you can put anywhere you want.

Tesla has taken on so many things that have never been done before and succeeded, it would not be surprising if it failed at one of them.
Congrats. I used this funtionality in a couple of companies I worked and its neat. Never thought someone could make a business out of it. Especially, since ever tech company's favourite question is "Design a URL shortener"!!
"Fearmongering"? This is an exceedingly cynical and uncharitable take on the article, which literally says:

But look, let's be real: for the vast, vast majority of people, this is all just a cunning academic exploitation of hard drive technology. No one's really going to bug you via your spinning rust.
It seems to me that if one is going to claim that animals' actions only appear conscious because of humans applying heuristics, and that in reality animals are merely exhibiting complex non-conscious behavior, then there is no reason one should not consider that possibility of other human beings as well, or perhaps even one's self. Taken to its logical conclusion, one could claim that nothing is really conscious and it is all an illusion.

On the other hand, if we recognize that the behaviors we witness in other animals can be explained as complex responses to stimuli, and accept that our own behavior can be similarly explained, but never the less also recognize that our own experience of being is real, that there is something here, then I think we are forced to consider that whatever that quality is it also exists in other beings.

And if that quality exists in other human beings, because they are like us, then how much like us must they be? If mammals display similar behaviors to us then is it not reasonable to infer that they also have this quality? And if even some lizards, say, exhibit a few of these qualities, do they not also potentially posses it? And if we accept that even things very different from us can experience reality in this way, then how unreasonable is it, really, to say that everything does?
Ask them what they get paid vs. the developers.
You don't have to retire in the Valley. Why would you want to retire in the Valley? Everything there optimizes for bilking outrageous sums of money from overworked young people who are getting paid said outrageous sums of money.

Just one of the many reasons I am vegan.

You can eat a healthy, fulfilling diet that meets all your nutrition requirements without consuming meat or dairy and contributing to animal suffering.

We have the choice to avoid imprisoning, mutilating, and killing animals to survive, by eating a plant-based diet.

I’ve been vegan for many years and have never felt better or happier. You can too.

I’d love to see a comparison of sorts with a real life big data set such as this one for comparing Python, R, Julia, Matlab, etc.
A recent experience I've had with programming screens, not whiteboard interviews specifically, is the lack of feedback. I'm given a programming problem (or a set of problem), given about 2 hours to do it, I do it in the allotted time, check my code, verify to the best of my ability that what I've come up with in the limited time is correct, I verify I'm passing the provided test cases and some test cases I come up with. Then it's basically a coin flip whether anyone follows up. No feedback, no reason why they're not moving forward besides maybe some generic HR response about my qualifications or 'decided to go in another direction'. Quite annoying and a waste of time on my end. Is this it? Is this really the best way to filter down the pool of resumes? Feels like it's a very high false positive rate and one that pushes all the time costs onto the applicant (multiply ~2hr by say 5 companies that want you to do a coding challenge).
You can't make global claims about 'animals' based on dogs. Humans created dogs, we extricated them from the harsh reality of evolution in order to serve as workers and companions to us. It's no surprise we bred them to match our emotional viewpoint. The reality of nature is _extremely_ harsh by human standards. It's largely an emotionally cold and deadly place that is entirely removed from most humans day to day lives.
The issue isn't the absolute height. The top manager (CEO) is going to make more more than the top IC, that's just obvious.

The real issue is that management is a pyramid but IC is ziggurat with, if you're lucky, an obelisk sitting on top of it.

People like to point to the principal staff engineer or whatever, but there's one of them for every twenty upper-mid level managers making the same money. And all those managers can take their skills to another company, but if an IC guru leaves the company where he made his bones he's probably destined for consulting (at best). Consulting has its upsides, but that's no more for everyone than management.
My take is that the author doesn't have anything against the debugger per se, but rather it seems he prefers vim as a code editor. I've never used vim for C# but I've used it for other projects, and you do get spoiled by its responsiveness once you get it down.

So if you're in that workflow, it's a shame that for debugging you have to open up the beast, wait for it to load, wait while it figures out what .csproj files have changed, wait while it uses all your system RAM, wait while it notifies you about all the Azure plugin updates, wait while it thinks a little more about who knows what, just to start a debugging session. That's where having one tool that does one job great comes in handy.

Not to mention, it does seem like a great deep-dive project to learn about things. In my experience it's projects like these that really increase your dev skills. High-level tech like writing todo apps in a million different web frameworks doesn't.
That’s not a compelling reason at all.

I think that was never a real question. Lobsters might or might not feel pain, okay, but bovines and other mammals certainly do. And birds are (can be) pretty intelligent (eg parrots).

So that's why they are supposed to be kept, raised and slaughtered in relatively humane conditions. (Eg. free range, and painless death.)

It's hard to keep up with all the companies they have funded but looking briefly here are a few along those lines:

Cruise and Embark - self driving cars and trucks

Helion and UPower - nuclear fusion and fission

Boom - supersonic aircraft

Ginko and Atomwise - custom designed organisms and drugs

Rigetti - quantum computing

Nectome - mind uploading

and I'm sure there are quite a few more
These are all great questions. Security is definitely our number one priority, especially since most of our customers are large enterprises. In order to create a link, you must first authenticate with your company's Single Sign-on solution to access the dashboard. If a user cannot properly be authenticated through Okta, GSuite, or another SSO, then that user cannot use the shortened link and cannot access the knowledge base of links. Second, all of the destinations can be audited in the dashboard, and we're currently testing solutions for checking the safety of a link that users can redirect to. This is unique to a golink system since the company can set these policies up for its users. For example, as an admin, you can disallow "http" links and force all links to use "https" to increase the security of the links. Now the company has control over which links are allowed to be used. The memorable link portion is also an added benefit of implementing a golink system.

If they chose to allow a classification option of (c) optical illusion, then the system could easily learn that. In fact, you could probably make a GAN ambiguous image generator.
Profit in a city is not enough to ensure a high valuation. They can clearly survive as a ~1 Billion dollar company, but that would represent huge investor losses.

The risk is not an unprofitable competitor it’s a lower margin competitor. Large cities have long supported multiple cab companies which caps Uber’s profit per city, and worldwide their are not that many large cities.

Really, they would need to be making 100+ million in profit just in just NYC to avoid that crash. But, those kinds of profits would clearly attract competitors long term.

yes, (well-known) found art has those two properties. the artist imbues the art piece with grand ideas about society (or whatever) at large, and a bunch of influencers (other artists, critics, collectors, etc.) find it interesting enough to elevate it to art.

i'd once heard a joke (story?) about found art where a janitor accidentally left a mop and a bucket while cleaning a gallery space and it attracted a crowd trying to discern what it meant. =)
It's fairly common for startups based outside of the bay to take a fundraising trip to SF when they're raising money. Even NYC-based startups do it.
Oh yes! I raised four, and right now, appear to be doing it again with my granddaughter. My youngest totally failed to launch, despite my best efforts. He and his girlfriend are a mess. So, yeah. I have a kid, after having 4.

Owning a car is a big deal with kids, and you are spot on with why.

I will counter with a lot of that stuff consolidating into carry bags and backpacks. Once I worked that out, getting people into and out of cars was not such a big deal.

And in the end, a lot of that stuff goes with them. Set the norms for people to carry their stuff, manage it, and a lot of good effects come from that.

Kids prep for the day, grab their bag and jump into a car. Happens all the time now.

Now, your list:

Diapers, wipes, clothes treats, other goodies go in the road bag. And that bag goes where the kids go.

I won't put a DVD in a car. When they get older, they can have a phone. Otherwise, long rides are car game, interactive time. I did that and am very glad I did. We had a lot of fun on those, and the conversations! Awesome.

One of our favorites was, "What is worth what?" and or "Nothing is free." Those chats were often wide ranging and sometimes profound.

So, it's not quite the benefit you are putting here, not that I'm disagreeing. I am not.

What I am saying is people can and will find options. With self-driving cars available to call, many will call them.

If the cost makes sense, that is. It may not. In that case, owning cars will still be the norm.

This time around, the only pain in the ass is the carseat and stroller. Those are nice to have in the car, but they also get moved more than one would think too. Who rides with who?

As they pass 3, you don't need the stroller anymore, leaving the seat.

Road or day bags work well, and my little one has her own backpack. She's got stuff she wants in there, and we make sure some necessary items are in there too. She will actually check her bag at 3 and very frequently gets it right when it's not properly stocked.

Lastly, if the cars are self-driving, the ownership is less of an attraction. If they remain human driven, people will continue to own cars, with the slump right now being more largely related to the wait for EV and such making used cars a lot more attractive right now.
In fact animals don't die in a nice way. They end up either eaten alive or left behind by the herd to die of thirst when they are too old or too sick.

This is one of those "non-explanations" you often get from modern neuroscience (in this case from the cult of "predictive coding"). There is absolutely no explanatory power here with regard to the nature of emotions. It just assumes its conclusion. The brain should just make its prediction and the behavior should happen in experiential void. Why is there any feeling associated with this prediction? There's no explanation for it that doesn't engage in obvious handwaving. And even if you accept one of the handwavy answers, it still doesn't even remotely approach the questions that people actually care about, like: why would the prediction give this specific quality of feeling, rather than some other?

I agree with you having it as a feature. People will want to own the car.

When they no longer control the car, but make requests, that subtle difference will cause a lot of things to play out very differently, IMHO.

It has been speculated that elephants know bones of elephants from other animals and that they kind of "mourn" their dead [1][2] in a way.

Most mammals would react to fresh corpses of members of the same species, most would feel what we would call sadness when loosing a member of tribe, parent etc. But feeling emotions towards bones? That's pretty complex IMO.

I've also read somewhere about instances of elephants "burying" other elephants via covering their bodies with leaves. I'll edit and add a source if I manage to find it.

How to write a memcached server in less than 50 lines of code
Just because everything else is worse, doesn't mean visual studio couldn't be better.

I've been watching the development of this, here's their main points:

It's slow. Stepping through code and updating watches can take a few seconds. Which really does slow you down when you're doing a lot of work with it. It's ginormous, you shouldn't need a huge program with tons of dependencies to debug things. And finally, it's primitive. It usually works for what it does but it would be nice for a debugger to be more flexible and allow things like: Displaying blocks of memory as images, allowing custom display visualization, and navigation of your own data structures, or charting how a value changes over time. Debugger functionality has been pretty stagnant for at least a decade. Also plugging in project specific debugging tools like serialization and custom tools would be neat.
