> it's a common luxury car feature

Almost all luxury cars implement this feature the same way that Tesla does, with radar that ignores stationary objects. I'm not aware of another company that implements the steer towards obstacles part of the problem, though.

And if you like those, any of the Zachtronics series of games are perfect. Spacechem is a personal favorite (machine layout programming), but there's also TIS-100 (modular system programming), SHENZEN IO (modular digital logic programming), and Opus Magnum (machine layout programming). The last two are actually upgrades of older games they made, KOHCTPYKTOP and The Codex of Alchemical Engineering. I'm hoping that Ruckingenur II gets an upgrade eventually (debugging! in a video game!).

Yeah, I worked on a much smaller product and we aggressively ran automated selenium tests against our whole product with IE6. Sometimes we hit crashes in the browser and I helped people debug them using windbg and find string locals on the stack so we could identify the bad code.

The idea that YT or any other Google product team would justify not CIing against IE6 or Firefox is absurd to me.
What are they evading?
Renting or owning doesn't matter. The house is occupied. Other people have to live somewhere else.

As I've written elsewhere, a housing market has much in common with a traffic jam or a crowded bus. Everyone takes up space, so everyone is part of the problem, based on how much space they take up. The only way to fix it is to make more space or convince people to go elsewhere.

The value changes from gentrification or owner flight (see' most mid-century US cities) come from the community rather than any significant owner-initiated changes to the propety itself.

You do nothing, rich people move in around you, value increases.

You do nothing, rich people move out around you, value decreases.

The direct utility of the property is unchanged. The owner has made, net, an insignificant contribution to the surrounding community. And yet value accrues (or diminishes) all the same.

Housing and real estate internalise the net community utility changes. The pathological cases are where the owners or investors are outside the community and strip-mine the resulting wealth.

Land value taxes both dampen wild valuation swings and internalise value gains to the community to provide infrastructure, institutions, and services.
I hear people say “self driving cars don’t have to be perfect, they just need to be safer than humans.” Here is a good example of why that might be harder to achieve than expected. Apparently the car had gotten confused at that exact location repeatedly before. That’s what self driving cars are going to do—if there is something “weird” it’s likely that every self driving car (at least, every one from the same manufacturer) that encounters the weird scenario will run into a problem. That could result in catastrophic failure modes at scale.

What would have happened if every car on that road had been an identical Tesla? How many crashes would have happened? How long would it have taken Tesla to issue a fix? How many miles of perfect driving would be required to make up for the cluster of crash events due to that one anomaly?

A massive subset of Firefox devs are Linux users. Those features are missing largely because they are hard to implement reliably on Linux and customers (who are largely not Linux users) won't feel the impact. There are often flags you can set to try and use them on Linux, YMMV.

If you try doing much hardware graphics (let alone game development) for Linux end-users you'll understand why features like OMTP or OMTC are late to ship on that platform, if ever.

Even on Windows some new stuff like WebRender has to be manually opted in on specific driver versions and architectures one at a time, because it turns out video drivers are really bad and if you ship early your app will crash.

Right, the problem is NIMBYs are allowed to rent-seek by preventing construction around them. And in San Francisco, Prop 13 / rent control insulates many people from any consequences of rising prices, as long as they don't have to move, which means they make decisions that push up prices for everyone else.

In the economically ideal case we'd have a fair Land Value Tax to encourage as much building as necessary.
I think what you're getting at is the distinction between "persons" and "natural persons." Typically when a law applies to "persons" (sometimes it will say "legal persons") it applies to both corporations and humans for the reasons you've mentioned above - we need to be able to sue them, tax them, regulate them, etc. And when a law applies to "natural persons" it's intended to apply only to humans which is why, as much as you might love Amazon, you can't marry it. (So far no legal terminology to distinguish mountains that I'm aware of... )

To your point, corporations have always had "rights." The government can't just show up to your house and take your property without due process and, because corporations are "legal persons," the government can't just show up to company headquarters and take corporate property either. Corporations need some of the legal rights we grant to natural persons or else the corporate entity is pointless. But corporations also can't have the same rights as natural persons or else every stock broker is also a slave trader.

The reason the Citizens United ruling was such a big deal was because the court extended first amendment rights to corporations when those rights had historically only been given to natural persons. If you get a chance you should read the opinion because the rationale seems much more reasonable on paper than it is in practice. Contrary to public opinion, the court didn't rule that "corporations are people" (technically they always were) but rather that corporations are associations of natural persons and since natural persons can form associations to exercise their first amendment rights then they can form corporations to exercise their first amendment rights.

But for an entity whose purpose is to exist somewhere between human (definitely a person) and mountain (definitely not a person) it doesn't make sense to extend all of the rights of personhood to that entity just as it doesn't make sense to treat the entity the same way we treat a mountain. Lawyers can form associations to practice law but we certainly wouldn't allow a group to incorporate and have the entity sit for the bar exam... right? Citizens United certainly muddied the water in where the law draws that line.

Ask HN: Founders, how much time do you spend on your startup per week?
I had a conversation with a friend who said they worked 12 hrs/week on their company when they were raising money, he was too depressed dealing with a lot of rejection to do more than that. Three years later got an offer to sell the company for $250 mm, which he turned down. He was a lot more productive after he finished the fundraising :)

I find myself in the office working on my bootstrapped internet business around 45 hours per week, putting in another 1-2 hrs/day at home, a few hours on the weekends, all of which adds up to 8-12 hours of "deep work" per week given the emails/calls I have to do.

I'm curious how much time other founders dedicate to their startup, along with how much time they spend on "deep work" in the course of a week.

My tax accountant who used to work for IRS said once: if you have problems with IRS and CA FTB, satisfy FTB first, because they are essentially irrational and act like rabid dogs. The state has the entitlement mentally permeating its government. For example if you create a business in CA that never operated and don't dissolve it, they will wait 10 years and come after 800*10 franchise tax plus penalty to the tune of $13,000. If you are a small business, CA is not a good place for you.
That's untrue, plenty of bases in the area, and plenty of airdrop capabilities.

Start a multi-turn game at any point. Some players start with varying amounts of money and some players start with or choose to buy property on the first turn.

On subsequent turns, the property has either gone up by more than the average player is able to save (making it less affordable to those players who don't own it, while simultaneously making it a good investment for those who do) or it has not.

If it's to remain a good investment (as we've preached, observed, and generally sought to support), housing affordability is a seemingly inevitable casualty of it. Some would say "the solution is to build much more housing" (which I agree with in general). Those policies, in general, make housing more affordable (the explicit intent), which naturally makes existing housing a worse investment than if that additional housing was not built.

> ...I can’t think of a school with more regional status and less national status than USC...

The state schools in the midwest are an example of this - say, Kansas State University. Another one: Catholic schools -- St. Louis University; huge regionally, but not nationally. I was not marinated in NY State, but my impression is that the SUNY schools have some of this too.

Really, I think there are a lot of colleges with a big regional reputation, but not so much nationally.

If you know international students, you can see the same kind of thing play out in a larger stage -- universities that are top nationally, but not so well-known outside the country. Say, Seoul National University, or Tsinghua, or ENS, or some of the IITs or IISc. And incidentally, for these excellent schools, it's not their fault that their quality is not well-known outside their host region.
As a seller of little widgets that just started on Amazon a few months ago, that's exactly what I have just discovered this past week as Q1 2019 ended. I sell one widget for $25 and I have to file, and I sell $0 in another state where Amazon has a warehouse, and I still have to file. TaxJar will do everything for me, but it's $20 per filing period per state. If you have a monthly filing period in 50 states that will be $1000/month, $12000 year, just to file. Actually paying the taxes, that must also be calculated town-by-town, is on top of the $12000/yr. Note: TaxJar offers a 20% discount for annual and lots of filings, and is a great company and service, but the foregoing illustrates the problems for small companies going forward.
I think you're forgetting (more than a few) important functions that an airliner autopilot can do. Off the top of my head there's auto-throttle, auto-trim, and of course, if the runway is equipped, land the plane.

Also, if the pilots input a heading change, the plane will execute a 1G turn using all control surfaces so it's almost imperceptible to the passengers.

I think you're oversimplifying airliner autopilot.. by a lot.

Just as good information can be propagated, so can bad. So this had better be a robust algorithm and not one which can either be induced into something or simply learn “wrong”.

Not the kind of information that you use to train computer vision algorithms. I found his claims to be an interesting read.

This is really important. I’ve reached income stability to purchase a home, but a recession seems looming, and even the market seems like it’d be ok during a recession near me, I feel it’s far too risky. People can’t handle large numbers well. When everything is hundreds of thousands of dollars more than you’re used to thinking about, judgments lose their rationality. People get exposed to all kinds of risk and they don’t realize it.

> Owning your own home serves several purposes: ... 4. As a hedge against market forces

I think the logic of this point is dead wrong: every housing bubble (and its bursting) is a counterexample.
I would like to add over here that Tesla does indeed do sensor fusion in their cars. Their Autopilot combines radar and ultrasound with vision to decide where to drive. Commentators bringing up LIDAR are jumping the gun by assuming that this scenario isn't something that these sensors wouldn't have detected in either combination or individually to spot the anomaly. The problem over here is likely to be software due to a bug in their code than a simple lack of additional sensors (LIDAR). And this touches on deeper issues that could have profound ramifications for the autonomous driving industry and the broader industry in general.

At least, in my eyes, the big problem with the autonomous car industry isn't the sensor suites they are deploying (or not), but the over-reliance on neural networks. They are black boxes with failure modes that can't be adequately mapped. See: http://www.evolvingai.org/fooling

What if the neural net or the system used to detect obstacles didn't see it because the precise configuration of the data fooled it? And if that's the case then what's next? How do we decide when it is okay for safety-critical systems to be opaque? How do we deal with autonomous driving if the conclusion comes out to be a "no" for this case? How should broader society deal with a yes? And who decides all of this in the first place?

Possibilities like this scare me far more than the lack of LIDAR because replicating a bug like this would be next to impossible. We don't know what we don't know, and we can't explore and understand the system to suss out what we don't know.

Edit: Fleshed out the idea with more questions.
Except it’s also 100 years later, and we’re much, much better at it than the British ever were.
Agreed. History certain supports your statement.
Housing prices can increase faster than wages/inflation, that just means that the share of wages spent on housing has to increase. This can continue until nobody has discretionary money left, since shelter, being an essential part of life, has very inelastic demand.

Every step of that is awful, of course, but nothing disallows it from happening. And indeed, if you compare trends in wages[1] and home prices[2] you'll see two lines that don't look like they know each other.

(I pulled the first two graphs I found, if someone wants to go get wages and home prices and index them by the same inflation metric that'd be awesome.)

Doesn't seem likely to me if history is anything. China doesn't seem interested in ruling over its neighbours, as long as they're friendly. I'm no expert but for all I've read on its history, it seems to traditionally be interested in commerce and be content with that.

>Housing doesn’t have to be a commodity at all. It can easily be an unconditional human right.

I don't think you know what a commodity is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity

In fact, I think it would make more sense to say, "As a practical matter, housing could only be made available as an unconditional human right if there is [at least a subset of all] housing which IS a commodity."

In strictest terms, real estate can never be a commodity because it is all unique. Commodities have to have "full or substantial fungibility", which can't exist when housing occupies a fixed physical location, which is unique. (So perhaps some housing could be a "commodity" even in a strict sense if it could be moved around. . . Think mobile homes.)
