"such a job" would not be made available as bus drivers are typically unionized employees and that is one reason part-time bus driver positions do not exist
So true the philosophy that you can give things away free or generate near 0 revenue are unrealistic. If a business/service can not pay for itself then it requires debt(VC for example) which leads to dilution and in many cases the same result, a failed business/service. If you can make something the market will buy and the revenue sustain and grow the business/service then you have a real business/service otherwise it's just an artificial reality. It's so harmful the belief that you can make a business that is not profitable from the beginning and achieve success. You are already doomed to failure with this thinking. Learned this the hard way from several businesses and ideas in the past.
This is why "breaking" news confuses as much as it informs.

Has he been arrested for skipping bail on a UK court warrant? Yes.

Has he been arrested on a US indictment for extradition? Also yes.

These are two separate arrests. It just happens that one was once he was already at a police station. http://news.met.police.uk/news/update-arrest-of-julian-assan...

Edit: apparently the Swedish extradition is spinning up as well.

Agreed. RVO is not guaranteed, and move is complex. Smart pointers have overhead. Out params are for the most part a sensible choice in C++. Sadly. I'm honestly shocked that this problem hasn't been addressed in a better way.
Well said, buying for an entity that needs to survive to the end of time is a totally different ballgame.
It seems to me that self-driving cars can't be just as safe as the status quo, but have to be far far better. It's an unreasonable need, but human nature.

I'll bet that to really make it work well, you also need to redesign roads to suit the new cars.

In any case, I'll believe it when I see widespread/universal adoption of self-driving in constrained environments (mining vehicles, warehouses, storage yards). Step two will be things like garbage trucks (slow, expensive, otherwise automated, phone home when it gets in trouble).
Sounds like a job for.... public transportation!

Yea that's what I meant by literal, as in you aren't a pig if you eat pigs, you aren't muscular if you eat muscle. You are made up of the building blocks of the thing you ate, but that does not make you the thing itself.

Maybe literal wasn't the right word? Anyways, doesn't really matter.

this is hard to say, tbh.

first: by alluding to Ive, you insert a gender component. i don't want to make this about gender - which is what happened itt. as mentioned, i think the difference in focus is because of geo-cultural reasons. another piece of evidence for this hypothesis comes from the following: over here, the EU also gets a lot of praise for providing the main chunk of the funding for the project. a quick check tells me that this detail is often omitted in US articles about the project.
also, a note on myself: i work in a field where the majority of people are female. so is my boss. her work is great and i love working here. at the same time, i am aware that the bar to get here was higher for my female colleagues than it is for men. also, i see the glass ceiling having an effect on the careers of my sisters and my female friends. and i am painfully aware of the struggles that my mum and other women of her generation had/have to go through. so i consider myself a feminist, in the sense that i believe that we should have full equality and that we do not have it yet.

second: think iphone, i think jobs. so what "Jony Ive: The Man Behind The iPhone" would imply to me is that Ive is _the one person_ that had the biggest impact on the development of the iphone. i don't know enough about Ive to evaluate this. but here's the thing: if it turned out that another person contributed as much if not more than Ive, then i'd say: hey, it's nice that the article introduces Ive and gives him some credit, but let's not exaggerate and let's not forget about the other people who have also greatly contributed to the project.

edit: to clarify: i find it hard to say, because it's somewhat hypothetical. i truly hope for myself that i would react the same way / that gender has no impact on my thought process.
I actually have a drone I fly around freestyle for fun, after seeing how truly versatile they are, not to mention how cheap, I'm really not sold on constructing more towers.

The EMax Hawk 5 is 250$ and while I don't know how much it can lift, it's actually a VERY decent amount, if we're just talking about a single person's mcdonalds then no problem. The expenses come from making it more robust, making sure it has signal, etc. But those issues are mostly already solved, especially with a winch the drone can stay above the tree line, a single radio tower would have incredible range - or they might be able to get away with existing 4G towers.

Now you're just down to battery life, and noise. The hybrid fixed wing/multirotor system seems to at least partially address both.

>In my experience this is common for this type of news about "prodigies" on HN. I remember the same types of reactions a few years ago about an article about a child who made the headlines (it even prompted a response by pg IIRC). Was it Malala? I can't remember.

For an example of this that involves a male, the media has been hyping the Ocean Cleanup project because it provides them with a great prodigy story, but people on HN have been rightly pushing back against its merits.
Not necessarily, it's not that simple.

I've been on double-length public buses where I was the only passenger for most of the journey. And many times where there were only 1 or 2 other people. This is necessary e.g. at night where a bus only runs every 30 minutes, there has to be a bus, but there just aren't that many people.

Obviously in this case individual cars would pollute much less, and even take up less space.

Any realistic solution for a city is going to combine self-driving cars for the long tail of origins/destinations and times, with public transit for the busiest routes at the busiest times, including links between the two.

I'd love to be able to take a self-driving car from a house in Queens directly to the subway, the subway to Brooklyn, and then another self-driving car to my final destination that's 20 blocks away from the subway.

I worked for ~8 years using jQuery. It was an immense step forward in the early years, but these days I find the complexity of imperative code and juggling state from multiple sources a lot worse than the ‘complexity’ of a 100-line diff & patch algorithm that lets me simply redraw the whole world from state. And in the event I need to manipulate the DOM, the native APIs are now good enough, a couple extra lines are worth not having an extra dependency - jQuery’s (and zepto and so on) utility is diminished.

This is a false analogy. The sex was consensual. Not even the alleged victim said it was not. On the other hand, abusing an immature person (such as a toddler) or an incapacitated person is a form of violence, and there is clearly no consent whatsoever.

Some other examples where stuff gets murky:

Let's say I have HIV, but "forget" to mention it, and thus get consent by deceit. Not rape in my opinion. California recently turned it from a felony to a misdemeanor if you expose somebody with the intent to transmit your disease[1].

Let's say I am an Arab, and tell my Jewish partner I am actually Jewish. Not rape in my opinion. Doesn't even raise to the level of criminality in my opinion. Yet some Israeli court thought otherwise and ruled it was rape[2].

What about a woman poking holes into condoms, or "forgetting" to take the pill? The man did not consent either, same as Assange's alleged victim consented to condom-less sex (or if Assange had poked holes). Did she rape him? I say that's abhorrent behavior still, but it is not rape.

Now I fully acknowledge that the condom deceit has wider consequences than lying about your age or ethnicity or religious affiliation. At the very least it poses the other party at risk of STDs and unwanted pregnancies. Unwanted pregnancies in particular are an issue in the realm of reproductive coercion. Therefore I am fully on board to punish such things by the might of the law. it's just not rape, same as beating up somebody is not murder.

There’s no hyperboles there. Cars, and ICE cars in particular, cause extreme health concerns from particles both exhausted and rubbed of from the tires. The vast majority of deaths in transportation are due to cars, and speeding ICE cars in particular. A primary cause of climate change (which in turn threatens the existence and/or sustenance of billions of people) is again the use of cars, in particular ICE cars, for personal transportation. Without those and the associated need for large amounts of otherwise unused spaces, many things could be done much more efficiently.

Given that the GP personally regretted the end of ICE cars, it seems not unreasonable to ask about their other feelings as well?

Nothing in this article really disproves things about obesity. It mostly just focuses on how doctor's treat fat people, which is pretty bad. It also ignores the other side though, which is people coming in for chronic conditions which could be improved by dieting and exercise. Nevermind the complications from performing surgery on someone who's obese.

Also, it tries to normalize being fat but then says that the obesity rate has doubled. Which is it?

These do not seem like very legitimate complaints.

1. The city is generally considered nice looking. What about it do you find ugly. It has a very nice 19th century feel to it.

2. Idk about the wind. The city is windy, but so is all of Boston. Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with city planning.

3. It is a step in the right direction. The busses and red line (despite the admittedly bad reliability) are more frequent and numerous than most cities in the US.

4. I have biked in Boston, NY and Cambridge. Cambridge was the safest of the bunch. It is rated as one of the best biking cities in the US. NY was easy, because everyone was going slow, but was full of the not nice type of surprises. Boston in the other hand is a proper death trap.

The housing restrictions are a pain. I will give you that.

Also, if those are your main complaints about a city. Then I would have guessed that you love it, not hate it.

Manual transmissions are a skill, albeit a declining one. There are certainly tricks that one can do with a manual that one cannot with any current electric. But there will be electric skills too. With the potential for literally instant response, exact throttle control will become more important than clutch skills. We won't be able to just mash the throttle down at every strait.

I think that some configurations of electric motors (ie one motor per wheel) could open up some new driving controls. F1 might not allow traction control, but there is no rule saying that drivers cannot manually prefer one motor over another. I could see the stick replaced with a stick that determines to which wheel power is sent.

It is common for lead men to take credit for team's work (e.g. gravitational wave detection), so it should be no different here. But was she really the lead? She clearly wasnt the implementation lead (from Github contributions) and the I havent seen EHT list her as the official project lead (which to me seems reasonable given that she was a postdoc at the time of this work). So if she was neither the implementation nor the operational lead, then why is she singled out for credit?
Why is that even relevant to the discussion? Sounds like you're trying to distract from the actual issues at hand.
I used the lakefront path for years and fortunately never had any serious incidents. Beyond roadways, cities should be thinking more about paths that are not associated with the road network. For example, the 606 in Chicago is an elevated bike path built on an old train line. The riverfront would also serve as an opportunity for good bike infrastructure.
And it will go on and on... Animals with summer and winter coats (e.g. rabbits, ptarmigans, foxes) moult based on the amount of daylight, not temperature or snow-cover, so their camouflage will go out of sync. Others, like pikas[1], are doomed for other reasons.

Packing more self-driving cars onto roads is an appealing notion, but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Even if a computer detects hazards instantly and continuously negotiates with and anticipates the movement of other vehicles, the physics of moving cars remain the same. Safe stopping distances won't be dramatically different. Road surfaces, stray animals, mechanical failures, and any number of other hazards don't care who or what is driving a car.

My understanding is that failing to surrender to an illegal warrant would not itself be a crime. Unless Assange has accepted that the surrender order was valid or he has been previously convicted in absentia, he would seem to need a court proceeding to argue that.
