> Musk also promised a demonstration of a fully autonomous drive from Los Angeles to New York by the end of 2017

As in "without the need for a single touch from the driver". Doesn't really matter, AFAIK they are nowhere close.
These Win / Fail outcomes are not nearly this binary in reality, so I don't think this is a very helpful comparison. There's a wide distribution of "Winning" and "Failing", and while these extremes do exist, they're actually both outliers (most businesses don't win "big money", also most founders don't lose their house when they fail).
Would an auto-car that crashed at a rate 1/10th of humans be a successful "full autonomous" vehicle? You could save 30000 lives a year in the US by deploying such vehicles and probably more due to knock-on effects. But that would be about 10 auto-car deaths/per day. No way that works with the current media.

Unfortunately, it seems many people are not going to accept auto-cars with less than airplane like safety levels. Of course that will never happen. So yes, "full autonomous" vehicles are a long way off (probably forever), unless someone (Waymo?, Tesla?) can show they are much safer and some kind of national or state level laws are passed to restrict the legal liability of the makers and owners of such vechiles. Sort of like how ski resorts would not exist without special laws restricting liablity.

Further anecdotally, there is one at the entrance to my village (where a 50 goes down to a 30), and I've seen _plenty_ of people slow down when it flashes.
I never even considered that. Thank you. I'm going to have to remember to add more "soft skills" and accomplishments to my resume.
That's fair, but in practical terms how often are you going to come across a problem like this when you're values aren't hashable? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I feel like the kind of types that aren't hashable are also the kind of types that you wouldn't have to do something like this with.
You're thinking only one move ahead, at best.

Fair question. As of this writing, there isn't anything to trust me short of sniffing all the packets coming out of the phone and/or decompiling the APK.

While in beta, I'm not charging, but in order to align my interests with those of users I will be charging for it once I'm done beta testing. So far I've only been testing with family and close friends.

The app isn't currently open source, but I want to find a license model that will let folks see the source code while still preventing someone from forking it and running their own instance of my company. As you noted, this needs to be a sustainable endeavor, and I think that would be unlikely if I just release it all under MIT or BSD-3

It's too early for an audit (and I don't have the money for one yet), but I'm using libsodium for the crypto so there's no need to worry about me writing my own bad crypto primitves.

The website is sparse, because the current audience for it is my family and friends who I've contacted about helping me with the beta testing. I intend to flesh out the site a lot more before I come out of beta.
I worked at an agency with designers. We (web developers) convinced the designers to use Sketch for the stuff that they did for us. It saved us a ton of time over receiving Photoshop and Illustrator files to work with (the traditional "design tools").

Sure, things could be improved, but I love that we have Sketch and Figma now.

"the OS allows for full compatibility with all Android apps"

The article does not say that. The article mentions an ART target for Fuscia -- you have to build from something. That is approximately 0.1% of the way towards full compatibility. And for that matter you can run Android apps on a load of targets (although far from full compatibility), but that doesn't mean that they're replacing Android.

Google may absolutely replace Android -- they've made loads and loads of mistakes along the way -- but the way people keep arguing it doesn't make sense, using examples that jettison the parts that work well and somehow keep the parts that don't work well (which includes ART, as an aside). And indeed I'm falling into this same trap while talking about Fuscia like it's a kernel, when really the kernel is a small part and they're, at a very small scale, spit-boarding a new take on virtually every part of the system.

Regarding Google distancing itself from the Android name, that's just branding. To quote one analysis -- "Android sounds technical, has baggage, and might be stale". They've had enough missteps that it's an anchor more than a lift, so it makes sense that they stop highlighting it.

Can you substantiate this? Based on conversations with musicians I know in that long tail, seems like it's helped them get discovered but they're not earning a livable wage from it. It's not clear to me that they'd be any better off in the absence of Spotify, although I don't have strong convictions either way.
You said:

> issuing them IDs and offering to register them to vote sans additional proof of citizenship

Washington state doesn't "offer to register you to vote based on you getting a Washington Driver's License". WA DOL on Voter Registration:

"You will be required to show that you are:

- A citizen of the United States.

- A legal resident of Washington State and have lived at your address for at least 30 days before the election.

- At least 18 years old when you vote.

- Not under Department of Corrections supervision for a Washington felony conviction.

and

- Not disqualified from voting due to a court order."

So your statement that Washington is "offering to register people to vote "sans additional proof of citizenship" is factually false.

So, absolutely did I critique what you said. It's wrong.

Washington's Drivers License does not meet federal standards because it doesn't require citizenship or residency _to be issued_, not because they're registering or offering to register non-citizens to vote (because the Fed governments solution to that would be to ignore that actual issue, and just say it doesn't meet Fed ID requirements, sure).

"Fallacious arguments" - I quoted the WA DOL. Where is your source that the refusal to accept the state DL federally is due to "voter registration of non-citizens"? As it is, Washington ALSO offers the Enhanced Drivers License which _does_ meet federal requirements, showing citizenship proof, primarily used for land travel to Canada.
Couldn't agree with you more. Just another Medium post, presented as factual news, steadily leading me to just... Never read posts from Medium.

I thought the same thing. Any plans for a similar feature with the iOS share sheet?

The better response to "typing is consent" is that, okay, you gave our address, now we're creating adverts with your house, making it look like you're selling it, soliciting offers in your name, and so on. Even though you just ordered a bumper sticker from us.

So, consent is given for a purpose, and you can't really do that with just an input box. Hence the fancy opt-in modal dialog wizard thingies, and the checkboxes at registration/payment time, and so on.
I believe it was an outright lie, an effort to solicit deposits and lure people into a bait-and-switch of higher priced models. All evidence to date suggests I'm right. Of course, they're never going to come out and say 'we fooled you' but I don't know what level of evidence people need before they reach the conclusion for themselves.
If you're a SaaS company that can get new customers using paid advertising, I would use revenue financing instead of VC. It's a new category of financing that's been created for SaaS companies within the last couple years, and the terms are much better if you're one of the companies where it's a good fit.

(Basically you need to be doing something that people are Googling for.)
Calm down, have some dip.

This article claims Web Components could replace frontend frameworks. React is a component library often used in a frontend framework.

React wraps the DOM with a Virtual DOM that provides a declarative abstraction for stateless updates. That is, you can write a plain function - given data X, produce DOM state Y - and React works out all the DOM calls required to arrive at the desired DOM tree from the current actual DOM tree.

So, with React, a developer does not need to make granular element-by-element, attribute-by-attribute changes. Many developers have found that leaving this diff / patch work up to the computer is easier than working out all the DOM calls themselves. Even more so than the concept of components, this has enabled architectures that many developers find pleasing.

Now, you can call that stupid or delusional if you like, but at least understand what's being referenced here.
Their mission is to make the world more open and connected.
Aren't those solved problems though? Like, you're talking manufacturing and scaling up production, and there are other examples of heavy lift vehicles. While they are absolutely great accomplishments, it's tweaks on previous formulas.

There are no fully autonomous cars, he'd have to break entirely new ground for that.
So you aren't targeting Safari, Edge, Firefox ESR or any version of IE?

`ip` and `openssl` are both mega-guilty of this! At least the man pages for the `ip` sub-commands are sanely named though..

example:

`man openssl` to find how to use `rand` sub-command, instructs you to reference `man rand`.

`man ip` to find how to use the `address` sub-command, instructs you to reference `man ip-address`.
You know that it's too late for you, right?

My photo has been uploaded countless times to facebook without my permission, and my data has been sold countless times through brokers that acquired this information illegally. There is nothing I can do, and Facebook will continue to behave irresponsibly with my information.

It is because of the unethical behavior of Facebook as an organization that we're in this mess - not the naive users.

Not every competitor has to be "serious" to be successful.

And what about Twitch? Plenty of "personality" driven content there.
But do those video streaming sites offer comparable quality to YouTube, while also giving away half of the ad revenue they receive? Because YouTube does that. If it didn't give away half of the ad revenue to creators then YouTube would probably never have become as big as it is now.

We know that YouTube has trouble making money with this type of criteria. What do you think is the chance that another company with far less economies of scale will somehow make it work better?
> Sure, if you take today's technology and apply it to 2040 then it doesn't paint a pretty picture.

Obviously, newer and improved tech would be even better, and if we have it, that's great. But I'm not convinced we need it.

Even if we were just stuck with today's 2019-era technology, we could still meet this mandate by 2040, just by widely deploying the green technology we already have on-hand today.

Rural and suburban communities don't need any reduction in quality of life to meet this mandate, we just need to deploy today's tech reliably out there.
This is why it's great to have an ecosystem of many small players.

Here's an issue we ran into when implementing GDPR: marketing software keeps a database of people who have opted out, so even if that email address shows up again, we don't risk spamming them. But if they opt out now, under GDPR we have to delete them completely, even from the opt-out list. So we can't remember not to email or track you.

The author also points out the double set of cookies, which is how most sites deal with tracking. One set of cookies that do not collect PII, that just tell the other set of cookies to turn on or off.

I respect that the writers of GDPR did not confer with the industry insiders beforehand. However, with how poorly some of it understands the technology (implementation of cookies is a great example), I wish they would have had a bit more understanding and drafted a better bill.

Twitch is not a competitor of youtube. Twitch is specialised in live shows. They don't let you upload videos, and they delete old videos of past broadcasts pretty often.
I must have misunderstood your comment.

The original statement: that most people don't realize how awesome it is.

At face value, I've observed that less than 50% of people I know are even aware this is happening. So on that observation alone the statement is true. Among those that do know, when I've explained that there are something like 10 dimensions to solve (x/y/z velocity, x/y/z position, pitch/roll/yaw, and time) and that you have to solve all of them using only 4 inputs (lower booster, and 3 lateral boosters), they are more amazed.

In my experience, almost everyone I meet has the potential to be more impressed by this event by just learning a bit more about it. Therefore "most people don't realize how awesome this is".
When the "switch" is on a display, software can do anything.
I don't think so. Most people ( and a lot of people on HN) really believe that online platforms should be able to suppress such unlawful videos. And it's not a completely unreasonable position.
At what size of company does this pay off? My experience of hiring juniors is generally that they are net negatives to productivity for quite a while, and the smaller the company, the more significant the impact of that is. How do people here go about mitigating that?
I've gotten some great, productive work done while pretty up there. For me, it removes inertia and I just get straight into my work and stay in it until I've gotten enough done for the day. It was my secret weapon during finals week when I had to crank out term papers for classes I wasn't especially interested in.
Wal-mart is real competition.
I've always found the opposite, in that Spotify points me toward music I'm sure they are paying almost nothing for.

A little background: you are more or less describing the author of the blog post!

That’s the interesting thing about being a coder who designs, the tooling on both sides always lets you down at least a little. Having that wider context is worth the disappointment, I think.
Yea this is surprisingly annoying. I did CloudSQL -> csv -> dataprep -> bigquery. For about 10 tables with ~20 columns each.

A job that should be less than an hour took over 6 hours due to various annoying datatype issues.

Another interesting thing is that BigQuery doesn't have Full Text Search so you need to go back into postgres or use elastisearch to use FTS which is beyond annoying.
Seems like it'd be tricky to do from a story telling perspective.

Totally removes all agency from protagonists. Every fight becomes a deus ex machina - "welp, our targetting subroutines continue to be superior to their maneuvering systems so they died. Hooray us?"

Or I guess more probably just a numbers game: "welp, our effective weapons range is larger than theirs, so that's that" with an MCRN exemption clause.
Why would a set have to be a tree? In fact would expect trees to be the less common way to implement sets (I would expect hash tables to be more common).

"All light-duty cars and trucks sold in British Columbia would have to be zero-emission by 2040 under legislation tabled Wednesday."
> Point me to the clause in the Constitution where it says anyone has a right to healthcare or that the federal government is allowed to dispense it.

The latter, and it's the militia clause read together with the elastic clause. Arguably, depending on whether one views health status identification and health maintenance as more essential to training or organization of the universal militia, it may require the states to operate as delivery intermediaries, but it certainly allows federal funding.
It's not "what if they go elsewhere" under that situation, it's "when".

This is gold. It's just a specific application of, "You shouldn't fight market forces, if you can help it."

Simply coming close to parody

parity

Though, this started me thinking on what "parody bits" would be.
You're implying that the current bear market is permanent. Most cryptocurrencies are deflationary in nature, so it's hard to accept the premise that there's "piles of depreciating cryptocurrency" in general.
The reason I won't post a link about this topic is because I get rabbid responses, threats and accusations, and lots of down votes.

I have posted links to real data, doctors, scientists and papers before and all of it is rejected because of some reason.

It's not a fight I am up for right now.

I recommend doing a search for CDC vaccine doctor witness 2019. I am sure you (or someone else) will come back here to accuse me of something anyways.

Yes, I am jaded, it's disgusting how unscientific people get when you question vaccine safety. (even though billions have been paid out in damages caused by vaccines... sigh, yes billions)

Edit: If you want to hear from a very respected doctor who has studied the science behind vaccines and won't take another vaccine ever again, look up Dr. Suzanne Humphries. Most people won't actually listen to the data she presents, but just attack her out of spite and fear.
I don't think people doing that are trying to be altruistic. They're trying to engage in harassment.
I remember reading alleged whistler blower reports about damaged cells going into packs. Perhaps this is the most cost-effective way to utilize the stuff they built in tents.
'Conspiracy to commit theft' isn't 'theft'. Conspiracy is exactly the kind of charge that is protected or else you couldn't talk to a whistleblower until they had already acquired the documents.

Just because you say 'you're wrong' doesn't make it true.
My point is that your initial comment stated this was a good strategy to avoid probate and estate taxes. I agree it's a good strategy to avoid probate, but I disagree that it's a very useful strategy to avoid estate taxes. You also incorrectly (or at least greatly oversimplified) said gifts weren't taxed.
The typical way to solve this problem would be to keep the data stored in a normalized relational database. There would be a Customer table and a Visits table. Since the data is normalized, the Customer table would contain only one entry per customer. There would be no need to dedupe the data if it is kept in this format.

If moving the data into a normalized relational database is not an option, the next best option that I can think of is to use a hash table (as mentioned elsewhere in the HN comments). However, I can't imagine working on a system where it would make sense to write a custom solution for each type of data query (unless I was working on a database system).
You can. I'll happily take this up to 1k.
First paragraph says "All light-duty cars and trucks sold in British Columbia would have to be zero-emission by 2040 under legislation tabled Wednesday."

Maybe unrealistic in the end but I think they realized it was cheaper to not change up the assembly line too much and instead just build them all with the same interior options. Removing extra speakers is easy, not installing all the ambient lighting is simple, swapping out a leather interior with cloth isn't as that not only is a large item it means you need to secure supplies for an option that may not have sufficient uptake to get a good discount.

plus the added bonus is that you can yourself choose to buy features you skipped out on earlier. It also would be a boon for resale as well. Letting the buyer decide to add options you passed on.

35k base model should probably been adjusted for inflation but Musk's ego boxed Tesla. Let alone that its one thousand or twelve hundred in delivery plus taxes on top of that 35k price so there never really is a 35k car. In the end I look at it this way, if your budget is so inflexible that less than a five percent change in price is make or break you should not be buying it in the first place.
> If I need to use server side rendering, there are plenty of server side rendering frameworks more mature than React/Preac.

Not if you need both server-side rendering AND a rich frontend. Unless you want to duplicate logic between two frameworks.
"What is out there that I could do that would make me excited waking up every day for the next 45 years that could also earn me enough money to cover my expenses?"

This isn't to diminish what the author says - I'm glad he's found his independence, and I hope he finds the "intrinsic motivation" he's looking for.

For me, I think I've more or less shed the illusion that I'm always going to be excited about work. Or even that I'm normally going to be excited about work. I love my job, and sometimes it's great, but it's usually not "exciting". It's strange to me that people in our industry place such importance on our emotions about work, to the point where not being thrilled by our work is seen as some sort of career failure.
There is actually a few companies doing stuff with IF right now. There is one that gives you their tools and publishes your game on their site and takes a cut of the royalties. I played a preview of one some highschool girl wrote about going to a school of magic and it was a blast.

Basically this. It's mind boggling to think a designer could ever excel without knowing how to work with the medium they're designing for.

I see, and thank you for the clarification. My main problem then is the blog post for the redirection section is poorly written and plain wrong with regards to the examples and pictures.

Their example is
$ cat /tmp/root_content.txt

And then in the picture the show that the `cat` program's stdout is `/tmp/root_content.txt`, which is incorrect according to your description. This would only be correct if it was then redirected or piped.
