This sounds amazing. And all of that (even the physical controls, in a sense) is really more about interfacing with the onboard computer systems, which arguably aren't part of the car itself, but something extra built on top of it.

For most cars that aren't Teslas, the head unit is designed independently of the physical control surfaces of the dashboard, because they want the head unit to be a thing you pay extra for via some navigation or entertainment option package.

I hope in the future the head unit won't be a separate thing that coexists with a potentially standalone dashboard. Like Tesla, but with physical controls alongside nice displays where appropriate, even with touch surfaces.

Cars are going through something similar to what happened with DSLRs when displays (and sometimes touchscreens) started to become common. Some companies fully embraced having a big touchscreen and very few physical controls and some companies grudgingly added a non-touch display but retained almost all of the physical controls. The best camera designs (IMO) ended up being ones that tried to find a happy medium between those extremes, not by combining half-assed physical controls with half-assed touchscreen controls, but rather by really thinking about the least compromised, best overall experience.

Not familiar with the service for the aforementioned reason, the catalogue is a joke here. That spelling seemed more likely to me given all the companies written like that.
It’s only more private in the sense that phones can be moved to quiet places or ignore calls more easily (little brother).

It is not more private from a number of other perspectives (big brother). Not by a long shot.
> You're saying it's free money for the bank.

I never said anything like that. I'm saying the bank is creating new money that is becoming part of the money supply. I gave you a Wikipedia link so that you can convince yourself.

> Look, how do you know you're not the equivalent of a flat-earther?

Wikipedia says what I am saying.

> Is there any doubt in your mind about whether you have correctly understood the situation?

That is a question that you really have to ask yourself.
You are required by regulation to have it. There is, as you describe, a convenience procedure intended to help people who forget their ID. You could still be turned away if you do this frequently or they otherwise have reason to doubt the legitimacy of it. And they don't have time for everyone in line to do it--if they did, this exception would go away completely.
And they still don't work and are still driving at barriers!

It’s awesome to see more & more devs getting interested in math & stats as machine learning, optimization & sequential testing (what you folks call a/b test) becomes more mainstream.

The obvious benefits are, much of math literature is currently written for consumption by math grad students & profs, so all of this will get a much needed rewrite. I foresee a surge in material like Jeremy Kun’s popular “math for programmers” book that so many of you loved on HN. Much of math lit is imo unnecessarily dense & terse. Speaking as a phd student, I really appreciate atleast 1-2 numerical examples with answers, not just plain theory. Maybe if there was a Linear Algebra for programmers text with some code in python to accompany the theorems, it would be a huge hit among applied ML researchers & programmers. Graduate linear algebra is actually quite hard & very few phd students pass the linalg quals in their first attempt ( Grad linear algebra, not basic shit like matrix algebra, linear maps & decompositions). This material should imo be rewritten ( “dumbed down” ) so regular folk can also sample some of the magic.

In my previous work at an adtech corp, I built a whole bidding algorithm straight from Strang’s linear algebra book (the chapter on Lagrange optimizers). It’s still running, 5 years & counting. I once joked if they gave a nickel out of every dollar that algorithm made to Prof Strang, he’d be a multimillionaire.

> Most students would be taking one or two of these in 12 - 16 weeks while doing nothing else but being a student.

From my experience (at MIT in the 80s and 90s): The usual student takes 3 technical courses and one humanities course per term. From my own history: I took 18.03 in one term with two EECS courses and a humanities course, and then 18.04 the following term, also with two EECS courses and a humanities course.

I would guess that 3 math courses at one time (and taking nothing else seriously technical) would constitute a pretty full load for most people. Much beyond that probably impacts how much is being truly absorbed for the long term.
Reading your links, I couldn't find any numbers for how many children were DNA tested while Obama was in office? How many was it? or did this launch under the Trump administration?

I'm unclear about what's "fake news"

that dna testing children is bad? From your comment, it sounds like you think Obama is infallible, and so anything he did must have been the best, most moral option possible.

or that the blame should be on Obama? but that doesn't make sense, because Trump held all the branches of government for 2 years, and didn't rescind this, when most of his presidency has been about undoing everything Obama did.

Azure has been magnitudes more expensive and magnitudes more unreliable for the one of our clients that demands we use it to host their stuff than either AWS, Digital Ocean, or Heroku.

Honestly, I can't think of a single reason why I would recommend them over anyone else at this point, no matter what your hosting or storage or computing needs were. Can't see a single area where they are better than the competition.
I would argue that there kind of is something inherently wrong with externalizing pride in your race beyond a point, even if it's not belittling another group.

It's arbitrary. It's a grouping that was largely invented to divide people. Even if people the same color as you did amazing things, that doesn't mean anything about you. Variance within groups is enormous. Variance between groups is comparatively small.

You should take pride in things that you actually deserve, that you earned. Even if people that share a genetic and cultural background with you are amazing, it's fundamentally the same problem as being outwardly proud of how successful your parents are. Sure, privately being proud that your dad is a great self-made CEO is okay, but making it a part of your identity or projecting that outwards as though that reflects your personal worth is insane and disfunctional.

I get that most people talking about pride in their race are trying to counter a racist narrative that makes people feel bad about their race, and I completely support that, but I really don't think it should go further than helping everyone feel comfortable and accepted in their skin.
Effective surveillance is extremely expensive. But, it’s an easy way for contractors and suppliers to make money so many industries lobby for it.

For example road side license plate readers sound cheap, but unless a cop is next to it it’s really hard to catch the car that tripped one.

I think by this point most center console displays are touch-enabled. That doesn't necessarily mean there's much besides drive computer data and radio controls in them, although bigger screens and less physical inputs is certainly where they are heading, for better and for worse.

I don't find this diverse touch screen statistic all that interesting; it would be far more interesting to know how many of them don't have certain traditional physical inputs, e.g. for climate control.

The kickoff point for your comment was about G-forces. In that context, "acceleration" is clearly felt acceleration in your local reference frame, not a free-falling acceleration relative to an outside observer. The scenario of falling into the Sun is clearly irrelevant. Then you want to accuse mkl of moving the goalposts and adding arbitrary conditions? You're the one running around with the goalposts.
I think this is good pointing to specific examples and incidents.

What worries me is that these bans are so vague. If you say someone is dangerous or needs to be removed from a platform, you really should back that up with the why. Getting very specific as to the reasons people are dangerous.

If we don't do this you're going to get conspiracy theorists looking at bans as some big plot against their ideology.

I like Tim Pool's take on this. There is a clear anti conservative bias in the rules these platforms enforce, that's fine just acknowledge it.
That argument never held water with me.

Anyone who uses TurboTax etc. doesn't actually "do their taxes". They're basically just doing a data entry job, mechanically typing values into boxes from forms as TurboTax prompts them. In many cases people don't even do that, instead opting to direct TurboTax to automatically fetch their data from a payroll provider, bank, brokerage, etc. and do it for them. So for many people it's just 1) enter in financial institution usernames and passwords; 2) click "file my return".

And given that the IRS wouldn't just "send you a bill", but instead send a pre-filled return, people would have every opportunity to read through it and decide if they agree with what the IRS filled in.

There is materially nothing different. The tax prep lobby has just done a fantastic job of convincing people that it "feels better" to fill out your own taxes rather than getting a pre-filled return from the IRS. Which is bonkers, especially since that supposed "feel good" crap wastes billions of dollars every year.

(The US is also pay-as-you-earn, btw. If your employer doesn't withhold enough taxes from your paycheck and you don't make up for it by paying quarterly estimated taxes, you have to pay extra penalties come tax day.)
My apologies, perhaps I was not clear in my previous statement. I recognize that this is a private corporation, hence why I said in my last sentence that Facebook should support freedom of speech, not freedom from speech, which I meant as on their platform.
Yeah, my thinking is that this is a simple enough task that no network connectivity would be needed. Plus removing hands on control could increase safety and cleanliness.
So that whole pedophilia thing is ok?

I can bet that they have a copy of all photos on their servers. No company will be foolish enough to build a business/service that relies on another entity, much so a government organization that is not known for building highly scalable services. This is a crucial part of their process and any delays will impact their bottom line. So they have all faces with them and so does every other company. Also, just the face is not enough, they need all the other identifying info associated with it. So they got everything.

Also, the government organization is not foolish enough to build such a service they get to be blamed for. They gave/sold that data away.

Just the face is of no use, the identifying information that goes along with it is also given. So at this point any company in the US can just query your entire info from your photo. Privacy is dead and it is provided as a service by the government. Wonderful.

Question is can anyone get this data?
Exactly we keep hearing about privacy violations from Google and Facebook. Time and time again. Except those ... never seem to have any victims. There's just a bit of outrage.

But the London cops have been caught falsely accusing, arresting and holding people for weeks based on facial recognition (based on both wrongly made identifications, and wrong input pictures).

People have had their own medical files used against them in court by youth services and mental health services departments of their own governments.

People have been convicted based on factually incorrect information entered into police databases, then corrected in one place, but not the other.

The government keeps getting caught using privacy laws in ways not intended: for instance, to hide the identity of cops that beat up someone for racist reasons, preventing them from getting sued.

IRS has access to almost all databases. From medical files to bank statements. What they use it for ...

We all know WHO needs to be prevented from merging databases to increase people's safety. And it's not Facebook, it's the police, health and government departments. We need a right to delete any information about yourself AND ALL LINKED AND COPIED VERSIONS in all government database, and all information sharing needs to be "default deny". No government department has any business whatsoever in your medical files. All information provided by the government in court needs to be subject to invalidation by counter-experts. And it should be default practice to have all government information and copies of it that involves any person directly or indirectly "time-out". And to prevent government abuse of privacy laws, anyone working for government needs to be identified on request in any record that involves that person acting in any official capacity.
How well do these work if I have wet hands? Like, if it's rainy or snowy and i get in the car, will I be able to control the temperature? Turn on the defroster? Every smart phone I've owned would be anywhere betw 0% and 50% chance of it working.
a wall would do the opposite though, wouldn't it?

break through the wall, and you have even more time before CBP can respond.

comparing against alternative means, like having more drone coverage, and better CBP placement based on ML analysis of the drone input would be a far more cost effective mechanism for the same thing
Let's say I'm a startup with a new idea for a treatment. I don't really have the funding to actually go through the proper testing and I decide to use humans to test my new ideas. All of the patients in my trial die a horrible death (much worse than going through cancer) in the process. In fact, there was no chance it would have ever worked.

Are you okay with these consequences? Regulations are in place for a reason. While I do think we need to loosen some of the regulations in the US, having no regulations, like what is describe in this article, will bring forth companies that have no business selling drug treatments and literally getting away with murder.

I did not downvote you, but I imagine it's partly because of this:

I think that's very self-centered to imply cars aren't worth talking about just because you don't have one.
Why not, just allow everything that is legal?

There is no need to be the arbiter of what is right for the world.
Well what I mean is that if things go horribly wrong, the experimental patient should have the right to pull their own plug. It should be in place ahead of time considering the unknowns. Would you really want to do a treatment if it could leave you in a forced miserable existence for the next 40 years without any escape?
I've used these such as bmw idrive and I think it takes far more attention to navigate menus using a wheel than either dedicated function buttons or a touch what you want touchscreen. Selecting a nav address is kill-me-now tedious.

I tried a nissan with nav and it had a pretty useful mixture of the two. It had dedicated function buttons for say radio or map or volume up/down/power (most duplicated on the steering wheel), but the touchscreen was used when that made sense, like selecting a nav destination from a list, or typing a destination with the on-screen keyboard (allowed when stopped only).
> If a company knows how to get choose a USD200k engineer in SF and get a good return for the company off that engineer, then why wouldn't you pay USD200k in all areas?

If they can get those other people to join paying 100k, why wouldn't they want to save 100k per engineer?

Companies pay you what they need to in order to get you to join and unfortunately, market rates are still largely decided by location.

Well - if other nations have already 'split out' their capital regions - then this is really just normalization of regionality, it's kind of the opposite of gerrymandering, i.e. London/Paris are already slit from UK/France data, so maybe the other nations should as well. It wasn't done before because there's no reason to.

It does feel a little like gerrymandering, but it's also rational.

This is just one of many such tactics these countries are using, most of them deal with the Euro and ECB.

In Canada, we have this as well, a complicated distribution agreement based on weird things. If anyone even hints at changing the formula it causes a political war.

A example of 'maybe cheating' in Canada: provinces have to pay for other provinces infrastructure spending. In Quebec, they want to subsidize electricity as part of social welfare. If Quebec literally gave a direct subsidy to citizens for electricity, or, a tax rebate ... then the other provinces would not have to contribute to that program.

So what Quebec does is gives $500M every year to the nationalized electricity company. That company then sells electricity at a loss to Quebec citizens, i.e. 'losing $500M' every year.

But - because the money is given to 'Hydro Quebec' by the government, i.e. 'infrastructure spending' - then the rest o f the provinces have to help pay for it. Even though really it's just a backwards way to do a subsidy. I should admit - it's not an unreasonable way to run the program, it just has the added benefit that Alberta and Ontario have to help pay for it ... which in political terms (by that I mean money terms) is a huge, huge thing. If anyone puts up a fuss about it, it's like political civil war i.e. very, very sensitive.

In the news recently, Greece's government has just told Germany they want hundreds of billions of dollars for 'reparations' from WWII. No kidding. World War II reparation requests in 2019! Which is very interesting to say the least, but it gives us some hints at the kind of financial/political warfare going on.

One way around this problem might simply to use other forms of measurement. For example, EU can help pay to improve roads, bridges, networking etc. but not for other things. So a measure of the quality of infrastructure overall would be the impetus to invest. It's also more easy to swallow from a populist perspective, and as we see from recent elections ... that's a thing.
None of those parts could be expected to break. This wouldn't be IoT. Just a static dumb voice control system on an SoC.

Great write-up! I'd really like to know how gfx-hal handles shaders. Do you write shaders in some high-level language, and gfx translates them appropriately for the vulkan/metal/dx backends, and send them off to the GPU driver? If so, is this transpiling slow? Do you get slightly different visuals on different backends? Or even glitches on some? Thanks for the write-up :)
