Waymo hasn't been in any serious accidents yet because they have human safety drivers and because they don't put their vehicles in situations where they can cause a serious accident even with a safety driver.

In that sense, expecting that Waymo is doing better than the rest and it's going to get self-driving cars into production is a bit like expecting that a person who learned how to walk on a line drawn on the floor is going to perform tight-rope walking because they're more careful than all those other idiots who actually tried to walk on a rope.

The thing to keep in mind is that self-driving is hard, much harder than tight-rope walking. It's so hard that it remains unsolved, currently, and no amount of careful application of non-solutions will result in a solution.
No White Co-Founder No Funding Nairobi, Kenya
The Nairobi Tech scene, popularly known as "Silicon Savanah", you can't get angel or venture capital funding unless you have a white co-founder or white "token" board members. Some companies have gone to the extent of hiring Ivy-league interns to "boost" their profiles. Some reports say only two tech startups with all black founders have been funded.

What's more, I think restricting "black" culture to black people only, carries the risk of keeping it fringe and preventing it from becoming mainstream.

Now Porgy & Bess is solidly mainstream of course, and black culture is absolutely a vital part of its context and necessary to understand and appreciate it, and there's absolutely something to be said for ensuring that it won't be separated from that context, but I think it's also possible to have it performed by white Hungarians in a way that does justice to that context, and I certainly think it's important that white Hungarians are able to enjoy it.

And then there's also the option of translating it to a different ethnic group in a somewhat comparable situation. Not sure what a good fit would be in Hungary; Roma maybe? Muslim immigrants? That would certainly make it more immediately relevant.
No relation at all might be the case but a "wink and a nod" exists and has existed. Break the agreement and IMF will bring hell upon you.

So, it's quite possible that US and Ecuador planned this a few months apart to look unrelated. US diplomats aren't shy at all...
This is what I'd do too, and it is quite strange that it was dismissed like that. Maybe because it's not as much fun :)

BTW I believe it may be a bit more than just O(n) time on the whole. If your hash-table is auto-growing, you'll have to pay for its resizing. And OTOH if it's sized up front, then you'll have to allocate something proportional to the size of the full array, not just to the number of distinct elements.
His point about the timing still stands. Why would Ecuador assist in the arrest before getting what they want first?
The halting problem is not a problem, one doesn't gain anything by solving it and there's no requirement to solve it.
I think there's a threshold effect here. People will slow down a bit but not too much. Above that threshold, the reward of being recognized as law-abiding is outweighed by the inconvenience/annoyance of being coerced to what seems like an unnecessarily low speed. Similarly, if the signs are everywhere people start to tune them all out. While they're very cost-effective in general, it's definitely possible for a town to overplay their hand and ruin their effectiveness.
I have no idea how others on this site think that something that happened as long ago as March 2019 (the loan being approved) and Assange's arrest MORE THAN A WEEK LATER could be related at all.

It's preposterous. It makes no logical sense.

That a country which has not received money from the IMF for more than a decade receives money and a month later, one of the most notorious fugitives holed up in said country's embassy is arrested.

I cannot fathom why anyone would think these two things that temporally happened MORE THAN A WEEK APART would be related AT ALL.

Shameful.
Just a few days later Assange is evicted from their ambassy in London. that must have been one of the conditions. It's how the IMF rolls, clearly, totally in the pocket of the vile empire called the USA.
Ah, the figurative wreckage. Almost as real as the wreckage in the middle east.

I don't like Assanges personality and I think it has many, many flaws. But that isn't of interest. The documents are actually public now, I would suggest to give them a read.
Backwards compatibility is a good thing for a technology with (a) potential to dramatically improve an industry and (b) insufficient adoption.

I love the Radioplayer and to date I can’t get my head round Sounds. It just hasn’t got the same functionality unless one wants to listen to music. Radio plays, comedies et al are my listening menu. It seems that things are gradually being removed from the iPlayer. I’m old so not important to the new BBC.
No you're not, my mistake. Due to the parent comment being flagged, I incorrectly the response as a reply to different comment.
Seems perverse to me as well. Might be a better idea to just fund Matrix enough to be able to have at least someone full time on it. With $3 752 per month on Patreon right now I cannot imagine it's a lot after infrastructure costs and taxes. Certainly not enough to let Arathorn or someone go out of his way to get expensive security training.

I'm more impressed by the booster landings though :-)

Seeing a launch/landing in-person is on my bucket list.
So you attack a brilliant scientist with a post doctorate? You say she doesn't deserve credit for being the cornerstone that allowed this amazing discovery to happen?

Already read your coward excuse that you are only attacking the media, don't bother justifying your misogyny and insecurities.

Your profile has less than a year, can't be traced to the real you and all/most of what you say is just cheap criticism. From what I see, you are nothing than a mere internet troll that got some attention; an information parasite.

Know that you represent the worst of the information age.
> The infrastructure approach seems to implicitly assume that most crashes (or perhaps the most severe crashes) are due to cars rear-ending cyclists, but that's not true.

It does? I've never assumed that. When I got hit, once was being t-boned, the other was a right hook.

> I'm not opposed to all bike infrastructure, just bad infrastructure, which is the vast majority of what I've seen. Given the choice between no infrastructure, bad infrastructure, and good infrastructure, my choice is good infrastructure. Most people can't tell the difference between good and bad infrastructure.

> Edit: I can see from your other posts that you live in Germany. The infrastructure you see is probably biased towards good. I live in the southern US, and the infrastructure I see (if it exists) is biased towards bad. Keep this in mind.

I live in Germany right now, but I've lived in a handful of different parts of the US, most of which I biked in, including Alabama (not entirely by choice). You're right, biking in the South sucks. It sucks bad.

As you say, a lot of bike infrastructure is bad, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the discussion. If a city really half-asses its bus program so that it's nearly useless, we don't declare that the fault of public transportation generally. You get what you pay for and all.
Maybe the reality is that all the science fiction stories have got it wrong all these times: that we have to genetically engineer different humans to traverse interplanetary (and in the far future, interstellar) distances and to live in alien worlds, so that we have less in common with them, physiologically, than we have with, say, the Cro Magnons.

The way the text appears with a downward-drawing red line really steals my attention. There are rockets on screen and I kept having my eyes avert to the fragmented text in the bottom left corner. I had to watch the video twice to keep my eyes on the rockets. I'm thinking of the UI/UX implications, subtle and effective.
> It doesn't help either that scarce development resources are needlessly fragmented between XMPP and matrix.

In my experience, there's virtually no overlap between the two groups, and therefore no fragmentation. And for good reason: XMPP is a nightmare to implement, so there's a significant group of developers that just won't touch it, but that might be interested in working on Matrix.

And yes, part of the blame for that lies in the usage of XML. While XML can be useful to represent complex data or documents, it's unsuitable as an over-the-wire format because it doesn't have a directly mappable representation in most languages, due to the combination of attributes and child nodes.

This problem doesn't exist for JSON, because pretty much every language directly supports arrays, objects/maps and primitives. This makes a JSON-based protocol much more pleasant to work with, as there is less data-wrangling complexity involved.
People who are 'reverse commuting' are unlikely to be hurt by this, since there's not much traffic pressure going that way at that time.

Aphant throwaway here.

You can have imagination without visualization.

I don't need visualization to fantasize. I guess what's happening in in mind is just different from how the rest of the people do see/feel/perceive it.

The interesting thing though, is that I never fantasize about real people, but I'm unsure whether or not it's related to aphansasia. If I fantasize about my girlfriend (regardless of if I have one or not in the moment), I'll focus only on the "concept" of the girlfriend.

Like in my dreams, people in my fantasies have no defined face or body. They're just bodies that I identifies as concepts (random person, colleague of type X, brother/sister, girlfriend, cute girl at the bar, etc.)
Since I use those concepts without any actual "implementation" (pardon the programming metaphor), and since I can only focus on the emotions or sentiments I have from the (fantasized or not) relations I have with those conceptual human beings, I have no use to associate them to real people.

Not FDIC, but they do have insurance on their hot wallet funds. The bulk of the funds are in cold wallets, with the keys stored on paper, in a large number of safe deposit boxes in various locations.

The hot wallet insurance covers Coinbase itself getting hacked, but not someone breaking into your account. For account security you have 2FA, and can require confirmations from multiple email accounts for any withdrawals.
It's always nice to see IF featured on HN frontpage. Especially of such quality as Zarf's. It's been a while since I last played "Spider and Web," and there's a lot of new stuff for me to discover, too.

This is a cultural problem. You can close Slack. You can check it every couple hours and catch up. You can turn off notifications. If your management has problems with this, that is a problem with their culture, not the tool.

We have channels where discussions will spread over multiple days because there simply is no expectation that Slack is real-time.
It seems it is legal in the US. Most of the developed world forbids them.

In Switzerland there are some exceptions for people who may operate trains or buses, but even then, the test has to be performed by a doctor and the employer only gets told if the employee is able to perform the task or not.
”pirates have distributed content through RSS for a long time and it was a much better UX than anything offered by the big players.”

Perhaps if viewed through a technical/hacker lens. But platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and iPlayer have been successful at attracting (paying!) users precisely because their UX is so much better.

Better than traditional TV boxes, and also better than the pirate world.
They made me sign into iPlayer radio the other day. That’s not what I want from iPlayer.

Why don’t they do what users actually want?
This is a sentiment I've seen with the Assange threads. I see something significantly wrong with:

"Well if a grand jury wishes to bring charges, it must be a legitimate charge, or they'd not bring it to them."

It's akin to the idea that if someone has charges for a crime, that because they were charged they must have did it.

> We can’t get rid of it because we have a commitment to not breaking users’ code.

This is not really true though. The commitment is about publicly visible and crater-testable code. If you have your own code in-house, there isn't much guarantee unless all syntax/code you use is widely used in public as well. A known change in language grammar will be evaluated on its publicly visible impact, not on its general breakiness.

It's really disappointing to keep reading about guaranteed backwards-compatibility and then being told in RFC discussions that those don't exist.
At this point I'm just happy to see we're on the same page about MTA-STS being a bottom-up mechanism. I don't really care whether you think it will work well. MTA-STS addresses a problem I myself don't much care about (I'm convinced email security is an oxymoron). I'm interested in it primarily for the signal it sends about major providers intentions with respect to DNSSEC.
I like the fact matrixnotorg decided to alert Matrix to Elasticsearch's existence.

But Matrix probably should first figure out how to fix the whole 'all server management ports are open to the internet' problem detailed here: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/issues/360

The last thing we need is another Elasticsearch instance listening on a public IP accessible to the world.

Matrix is what happened when somebody looked at XMPP and yelled "wow, this aged poorly and has some major usability issues".
That's a pretty long list of defaulters.
Funny how a blogger reminds us to get in touch with reality once in a while, and then every commenter on here bends over backwards pretending that they actually are Google.
You could also build the hash table "in-place" using an array of indices, the same length as the size of the array, to chain items. It'll be between O(n) and O(n^2) depending on how many collisions you get, but I suspect that on average it will be faster than sorting.
Which language do you have in mind?
I wonder what emergency procedure is in place in case the landing is off-course. Does it blow itself up?
Depends on the industry. There's a lot more software jobs in non-software industries (defense, finance, etc) on the east coast so the proportion of developers tested is going to be higher.
> Slack Is Not Where 'Deep Work' Happens

Sure, but that's not the point, it is not even where "work" happens. Slack can be useful as a communication tool. There is a time for work and a time for communication. Just as you don't answer the phone when you want to do serious work. Likewise, meetings are a waste of time, except when meeting face to face is useful. Communication is super important. After all, without communication, there is no work. Tools designed to enhance communication impede it when used as surrogate management. If Slack must be open at all times, it turns into a distraction.
I still feel that there is more to language compatibility than "Can rustc run it with the right setting". Rust 2018 is a new version, the fact that it's not called 2.0 is just semantics. And I still believe "version interopability" would have been a better term than misusing "backwards compatibility".
This is good enough for "small" arrays, but I wouldn't wanna run it on really large ones. You double the space with those lowercased copies + some extra space for the set itself. And you'll also spend a lot of time lowercasing the strings and std::hash'ing them for the set.
> How often do you re-use your Angular and React application?

I’m still a iPlayer Radio user and don’t really plan to switch to Sounds anytime soon, due to missing functionality. (I listen to podcasts on the Apple app)

But I haven’t seen anything being removed from iPlayer Radio yet.

BTW - you can find non-music stuff in Categories below the fold on the Sounds app - so there’s Drama, for example.

No more granular categorisation into Crime, Historical etc - which is a shame
I wonder how they do the booster landings?

Is it precise modelling and standard control algorithms, or something more exotic like neural networks?
They can get rid of people for any reason, not for no reason.

In real life things are even more complex: in case of a bitter divorce an employer will have some trouble trying to convince a judge that they fired a programmer because he didn't like classical music. And then programmer's attorney will present his version of events with some racial twist added...
I use iPlayer Radio too, and admittedly I haven’t gotten around to trying BBC Sounds yet.

But one thing iPlayer Radio has never been very good at is content discovery. You really have to know what you’re looking for, where as Netflix or Spotify are pretty good at the “you like these genres, so you’ll love this one!” game.

I believe this personalisation aspect is what BBC are trying to solve with Sounds.
