>I can guarantee you that every time I take my sight off the road, even down to speed/rev/consumption/etc screen behind the steering wheel, I can't properly register whats happening in front of me.

Maybe your controls are too dark and hard to read. I haven’t had this problem with the large Tesla screen, although I almost never have to look at it. When I do it’s very clear and the important things are in known fixed places and easy to read.

If I do need to look at the screen I can turn on auto pilot or cruise control, a subset of autopilot functionality. Cruise control can be turned on at 0 mph or higher, and it follows the speed limit, dynamically updating as it changes, with user-adjustable leeway above or below. The cruise control maintains distance to the car in front of me and slows or stops for deer running across
the road. Yes other cars have this but the point is it takes care of that point about cars stopping suddenly. So no worries while glancing at the screen. I’m not sure what it does for your hyperbolic atomic bomb scenario.

All in all, it’s not as bad as you think, although for some it does require a taste adjustment I guess.

I think there is one reason why western governments are opposed to Huawei systems in their communications networks. Western governments have historically had more trust in the US being a partner they can rely on, which is not the case (yet) for the Chinese.

All governments spy on each other, and they do whatever is necessary for their spying needs, the US, European nations as well as the Chinese. And I bet this includes exploiting Huawei/Cisco/Nokia/Motorolla hardware. Only difference is in this case for Germany: The US is more trusted than the Chinese. Thus the US/Europe get more leeway in these hardware purchases.

I am so tired of people parroting "Do what you love."

Real life isn't a Disney movie. Doing what I love, I would be lucky to make $10k a year.

You know what else I love beside that? Making enough money to eat.

You know what I REALLY like, knowing that I'm making enough money now to GUARANTEE my dreams will come true.

Not scaping pennies together as a starting artist, crossing my fingers, and hoping that one day I get my break. No, I did that for 10 years. You know what I noticed? No one ever gets a break.
The reality is slightly different.

Ask HN: Project managers – your best and worst experiences
I've worked with product, content, engineering and marketing teams. I've seen some petty & irritating project managers, and some very good ones. I still struggle with seeing their use in some cases, when experts can make a much better case for themselves. What is your experience with PMs and how do you handle the idea of PMs presenting your work without you?
Don't understand the downvotes, this is what this is all about. It's not about Huawei being more or less trustworthy than the others, it's just about the US (three-letter agencies) "not liking" Huawei.

Huawei is an interesting case. It normally isn't a problem to operate out of a country like China, but telecommunications infrastructure is sensitive. We are essentially seeing a rare case of differences in political systems having real-world effects on the export of goods. If China had the same relationship to the West as today, but stronger legal protections, this wouldn't be an issue at all, I suspect.

I agree. But it doesn’t hurt to put up preemptive defense. In fact, the OS should also isolate and encrypt per-app profiles. And when one app wants to access data that belongs to another app, it should ask the user’s permission. I don’t know if any of the major desktop OSes (including Linus distros) already provide this kind of mechanism, and that it’s just the app developers not bothering to use the mechanisms.
No, on the contrary. By playing the game and blocking ads you're sending the correct message that you like the game but don't want the ads. If you didn't play the game you would be sending the incorrect message that the game isn't popular and the market would work with incorrect information. Indeed, as far as digital goods go, correct word-of-mouth is the most important aspect of market information. Meaning, if you like something but it comes laden with ads, you are not only ethical in taking it and blocking the ads, it would be immoral if you were not to do so. Similarly, if a digital good is only available with draconian DRM or at too high a price, it would be unethical NOT to pirate it.
The bit about punctuality is really important. My eldest is 4.5yo, he only has a rough idea of time, and is only just understanding the idea of needing to be somewhere at a set time. So me getting frustrated with him because he's dawdling, isn't helping anyone and just brews up a conflict that he doesn't really understand. You literally end up arguing with someone who doens't understand why you are annoyed.
I think it might be opposite, and combined. They have a set of stories, called legends in other First Nations cultures (in English); every knows them. If each parent made up their own story to put fear into their child, the child just has to compare the story they hard with a different story their friend heard and voila, the kids realize it’s all made up. This way, the older kids can reaffirm the story to the younger ones because they heard it too (although are at a point where they understand the point). These stories/legends are often told in a third person perspective too.

Religion... if you believe the tenets of your religion it most likely isn’t understood to be _just_ a made-up story (even if others think it is). As an example, all the Christians I personally know didn’t simply believe a story about some guy named Jesus and thus started living in fear of his judgement. They believe the bible as a historical record, and live in a way that Jesus taught, and in a way that brings glory to Jesus. No fear. In fact, they might get even say the bible helps with something like nlp since it is God who has “stepped back” and looked at human emotions, behaviours, etc. I guess that comparison falls short of how to deal with trauma-induced behaviour.

I wish I could personally meet a cultural Christian (someone who is Christian only because everyone else is), the kind that atheists or anthropologists or secularists point to as their own example of someone following a made-up story, and ask them why they believe it/align their lives to _just_ a story.

your final assertion implies that any new language that is a significant paradigm shift from c++ must be flawed.
To be fair I think it was more a joke about the acronym being overloaded. LGBT on its own is already longer than it needs to be with 2/3 ways of saying 'attracted to people of the same gender or sex' but it then gets extended with two Qs (queer and questioning), 2 As (asexual and allies), a P for pansexual (which then causes arguments over whether bisexual people can be attracted to trans people) and more. To add to that there are more distinctions which should arguably be included (such as being homoromantic vs homosexual or genderfluidity/genderqueerness as distinct from being trans or even being transgender vs transexual(?)). In short, I think GSM is a great suggestion with the only possible problem being at some point GSM people not being a minority so the term becomes a misnomer.
All this renewable stuff and the saving are total theory. There is no industrial country that is even close to being fully renewable. France would do much better to replace their nuclear reactors with more modern once over a long time.

These reactors work for almost 100 years while you have to replace solar panels and wind multiple times.

Not to mention intermittency is not even close to being solved.

Every actual attempted of using renewable has skyrocketed costs however much people want to ignore that.

Lots of companies hate the GPL. It’s nowhere exclusive to Apple. So what? They don’t have to align with your vision of what open source should be like. What’s wrong with the idea of playing in a different sandbox with a different set of rules if the rules in your current sandbox aren’t ideal? Are you suggesting that we should shame companies who don’t want to deal with GPL-licenses code?

Yes, I meant one EXTRA dial. Things like temperature, volume, radio station, wiper speed, cruise control follow distance, etc. Whichever one isn't on the two 4 way control knobs would end up on the dial.

Not true. Valve fought (and lost) a drawn-out legal battle against the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over the rights of consumers using Steam, including right to refunds: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/full-federal-court-con...

The outcome of this case paved the way for Steam's current refund policy.

The interesting bit for me is: how did regular police find out who was playing the game? Were they spotted in person, or is there good enough network surveillance in India to implement filters and pass subscriber information to the police? (Or is this some kind of hoax to make more people comply?)
I am not fully certain but based on the caffe file names, I think it may be a variant of what is in this paper,

which itself looks like a variant of MTCNN generally.
Apple: $ to build the app, $ to maintain the music label relationships, $ to manage paying royalties, $ to manage server infra, $ for bandwidth.

Spotify: $ to build the app, $ to maintain the music label relationships, $ to manage paying royalties, $ to manage server infra, $ for bandwidth, $ to Apple for the "privilege" of being listed on the App Store and using Apple's payments system (which they have no choice over).

Both companies have the exact same base costs to operate their service. But Apple gets to charge for subscriptions through the app for free, whereas Spotify does not. That's literally the only difference cost-wise, and IMO Spotify is correct to consider that anti-competitive. Whether or not Apple would make more or less money shuttering Apple Music and transferring all their customers to Spotify is completely irrelevant.

And no, I don't consider "creating and maintaining an iOS payments system" to be a part of Apple's costs here. That would exist even if Apple Music did not, and the marginal cost of having Apple Music use that system is virtually nil, certainly not 30% of Spotify's subscription fee.
Really surprised me they would make a big announcement so far in advance.

Surely they'll just be canabalising sales of the Model 3 while people wait for the Y.

Making a big announcement 1 or 2 months before availability seems far more sensible.

You have it backwards. The claim is that touch screens are less safe. The claim is being presented with evidence that contradicts the claim. That’s not the same as making a new claim that touch screens are safer.

Sigh.
It's a big problem that artists don't care. Artists are the ones who know the actual deals they have with publishers/labels.

A few people, however, have figured out how to manipulate Wikipedia’s supposedly neutral system to turn a profit.

Neutral system? A few?

Let's not kid ourselves here. Wikipedia is filled with bias. Yes, there are some informative articles and it's great that some people have spent a sizable chunk of time tending to the garden. But there's a lot of stuff missing, and the problems of new contributors being shut out or shut down is well-documented (https://www.technologyreview.com/s/520446/the-decline-of-wik...).

As for paid/planted content, it's easy to spot certain types (fawning celebrity or corporate profiles) but others are far more subtle. And sometimes when I'm reading an apparently well-researched article on a technical, historical, or scientific topic, I wonder if some contributor way down the line had an axe to grind or is outright messing with audiences by inserting bogus information.

Advice to a Junior Developer you wish you were told starting out
> It's a trope that Nuclear is failing because of fearmongering. Nuclear is uneconomical, especially with renewable energy dropping in cost consistently.

You are ignoring that the fearmongering has over a long time influenced laws and regulation to make it uneconomical. To pretend there is no correlation is simply disingenuous.

It was a hope of many senators that wanted to get the 'green' vote to systematically defund and over-regulate nuclear. Nuclear innovation was significantly hindered by political interest on ever level, federal to local and I can go into lots of examples.

It is actually well known and confirmed that anti-nuclear organization such as green peace had a deliberate political strategy to focus on one thing only, more regulation for nuclear TO make it more expensive. The 'nuclear is unsafe' hammer has turned out to be very effective because most people and even most politicians don't know the facts. The coal and oil interest of course have a nice alliance with the greenpeace types and together nuclear was systematically hindered.

Just look at the current regulatory agency and the almost complete standstill in improvements since they took over.

If you look the production of nuclear reactors in the US you will see that they were on pace to replace coal power when building them was not much more expensive then a coal plant. Since then we had almost zero innovation and cost have exploded.

If you just look at the resources required for nuclear, there is no reason it should be so expensive. The problem is that we are using 60 year old designs because innovation has been made totally impossible thanks to the regulatory framework.
The fact he is not capable of handling millions of dollars isn't his fault, nor should he be punished for it.

Note that the game industry avoided C++ for a long time because those early C++ compilers produced code which was very large and quite a lot slower than you'd get from C, so C++ was kind of a non-starter when you were writing code for the consoles of the day which had slow processors and only a few megabytes of RAM. You just couldn't afford the overheads of C++ or your competitors would eat your lunch.

It wasn't about needing a pioneer to show us that we'd been wrong; we weren't wrong. C++ just wasn't ready for the particular set of requirements that games imposed, yet. Once the state of C++ compilers began dramatically improving in the late 90s (by the criteria of optimisation and executable sizes), most studios moved over to the language pretty quick. Or at least that was my experience.

I work on the automation for some car lines.

The robotics are fine. The problem is, in the off chance that an error happens, the results are absolutely disastrous. The biggest problem being that there are too many potential things that can go wrong and it's very difficult to program the machine to be ready for every possibility.

Some known potential errors are checked for, but a problem is that when the machine detects an error, the line has to shut down so that someone can run over and resolve it. If they have a human doing the job in the first place, the issue can be resolved immediately.

For the most part, automation is just used for major error detection every step of the way (errors being things like cracks in the engine), but a human assembles everything and checks for any errors that the machine can't detect.
