Definitely interesting but I wouldn’t trust a rooted system to behave the same as a non-rooted system.

Nor is there any guarantee that the snapshot in time when he did his research is representative of everything they do.

And such logging behavior can vary by car, by location, and by software version.

I tend to think it is in Tesla’s interest to collect the most useful data, efficiently, and make good tradeoffs when doing so. They say they are gathering data on interventions that will help improve their neural nets. I believe them.
I stopped playing it when they removed one of the best game game modes - unranked Rumble. For those who don't play it was a silly mode where you got a powerup every ten seconds that had wacky effects on the ball / other players. I had gotten bored of the regular modes and this one was the only one I still enjoyed. They made it ranked which had a lot of downsides that made it unplayable for me.

Is this "gamer entitlement"? I paid full purchase price and supported the devs by buying cosmetics - and they take away my favorite game mode, rendering the game useless to me?

Fuck that. There are so many other great games to play, and life is too short to waste on video games anyway.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but what is not clear here is whether, going forward, Amazon collects the taxes on Fulfilled-By-Amazon products, and whether that eliminates the need for each small vendor to file separately.

If Amazon does not collect the tax, and every small vendor needs to file for every micro-sale, this could have a massive negative effect on online commerce in general and particularly for Amazon, likely to see it's small vendors dropping like flies and undermining it's Get-Anything-On-Amazon approach

It wouldn't have stopped Dell from creating a support assistant app for Linux to preload if they cared. In fact Linux being the land of NIH and non portability between distros basically requires Dell create a manager to sort out drivers and installs for everyone.
You really only need a magnetosphere on the side facing the sun. It's probably possible to make satellite do that job. Calculations show you need about 2 Teslas or 20,000 Gauss. We can already produce such fields here on earth.

I would say the thin atmosphere is a bigger problem. It means your stuck in a box or a suit to provide oxygen and pressure.

While giving mars an atmosphere is possible in theory. A fair amount of the rock on mars are oxides. The energy required to extract enough to have any sizeable effect on the planet are insane. Like we are lucky enough we had plants do this over those course of millions of years to produce such an oxygen rich atmosphere.

It might be easier to just build bigger boxes though.

Really if we are serious about this we need to building infrastructure that allows boot strapping further and further. If there is going to be any meaningful migration or settlement. Living in small boxes like the ISS or in caves does not really help on that regard.

Honestly, the first people to go and build this infrastructure are going to have some toughest jobs ahead of them.
What should be more worrying than all that is the correlation between local housing prices and the local labor market. Take Detroit, for example: it had both plummeting real estate prices and mass layoffs from the big automakers in 2007/2008.

And if you're working, you're already exposed to changing conditions in the local labor market. Owning your house exacerbates this in the worst way, just like how the very last company you should own stock in is your employer.

Initially we wrote the library to help us answer the question about what change may be causing impact to our customers' experiences. Out of the billions of time series metrics we have we knew there were about 10,000 or so likely (for this initial use case), possible candidates and we wanted to reduce that set as far as possible and either (1) find /the/ candidate for problem or (2) produce a short list of things for the humans to look into. In order to get to the point where we could ensure high likelihood of apropos correlations, we needed to do some work on the signals first.

First we detect if any of the possible candidate signals were born or died in the interesting time period. We use these time points to reduce the window we'll use to pass to the correlation functions. We can also detect any changepoints in the time series and apply similar logic. Once we've determined the best window bounds for each candidate signal, we use pearson and spearman correlation functions to get a score for the pair of signals -- the initial signal that started the inquiry and the candidate signal using the determined time window.

The code is about 98% data preparation, signal analysis, and window determination and about 2% correlation work.

(I've tried to summarize quite a bit, let me know if you'd like clarifications or have other questions.)
Taxes, upkeep, etc., is easily going to run into the tens of thousands of dollars annually depending on where you live. It's very far from zero.

I don't get OP's argument at all. You're never going to get housing costs anywhere close to zero unless you're grifting off someone else or living on the street.

As another user said- "It's barely 5 megabytes.. and it's probably not connecting to anything.

The protections for pre-installed apps help to make sure nothing else tampers with them, e.g. injecting some malware, but I'm sure you can remove those protections and reclaim the 5 MB if you really wanted to."

Hey HN. . . this is a bit buggy and very early stage, but wanted to share it. Spacetrics (www.spacetrics.com) is a way for developers/architects to get better information from future tenants.

We are pretty excited about the Opinion Metric at the end which ties in Google's Natural Language Processing service along with some of our own code that accesses your phone camera from the browser button.

Maybe I'm not old enough or it's due to the markets I've worked in, but I've literally never seen rent go down in price.

During the housing crisis, for example, rent went UP because as people became evicted there was higher demand for rentals. I acknowledge this was a black swan event though.
Not a big fan of bay area roads, but this particular junction sees crashes because of a high frequency of law breakers. There is only so much you can do against a large number of people that are super-happy to break the law because the fine/insurance rate is probably not a big deal.
Everything you said is very wrong. LIDAR produces line of sight depth information. Stereo cameras produce line of sight depth information. Radar produces line of sight depth information. Ultrasound produces line of sight depth information. The only differences are how, how fast, and how detailed.

The biggest difference between LIDAR and stereo vision is that LIDAR doesn't depend on illumination because it uses its own.

By that argument, every car with cruise control (i.e. almost all of them) has autopilot.

Clearly, with their naming of their system as autopilot rather than cruise control, Tesla is trying to imply that autopilot means something more. Namely, it means the driver / pilot can offload the work of routine driving / flying to the computer, only intervening in certain times (e.g. off0highway or takeoff / landing) or in the event of failures / extreme conditions.

> Each country only cuts off ties with that one country, so the relative impact of that action is small

Right... that's my point: the relative impact of cutting off ties to China would be pretty large, given that it's the worlds factory. They would be worse for China, but more painful for everyone else than existing sanctions.
Thank you so much for the introduction to CGP Grey. Watching 'The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10

> I think doing this in the open would be a disaster.

Thought experiment: What would happen if it were public knowledge how much each student was paying to attend school? If you were far down the sliding scale and you were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to get in, and that was public knowledge, would it hurt the school's reputation as much? Then it would be clear why this particular person got in, and their intelligence (or lack thereof) wouldn't weigh against people who earned their place by merit, which you could tell by seeing that their tuition cost is low or zero.
If you bothered to click on the Car And Driver link, you would have seen that these systems (particularly Tesla's system) work at least up to 50mph with stationary objects.
Theoretically unikernels have the potential to be secure, but the ones analyzed above did not integrate the most basic of hardening techniques. I think it's better to take that paper as "current implementations of unikernels suck" rather than "unikernels suck".
Is there a law or regulation that mandates this? The article says Caltrans claims a storm caused the delay:

> "Once our Maintenance team has been notified, the Department's goal is to repair or replace damaged guardrail or crash attenuators within seven days or five business days, depending on weather. These are guidelines that our Maintenance staff follow. However, as in this case, storms can delay the fix."

The delay may or may not have been justified (I guess we'll find out if the family decides to sue the state). But an actual regulation is important, because not only would it provide explicit criteria to show Caltrans is in the wrong, it would've (or at least should've) meant funding and procedures are in place. There's always a tradeoff between cost and safety. If the state of California doesn't provide the funding and staffing it would require to replace this barrier with "no delay", then it seems difficult to fault Caltrans for negligence.
Sure, but those are the competing forces at work, right?

Employees: get the most money for their labor.
Employers: get the labor for the least possible money.

It may not be ethical in your viewpoint, but those are the natural forces at play. It follows that employers will commodify my role as part of their strategy to pay me less. So I take other actions to make myself more valuable. As long as those actions are strictly technical (learning new technology, rather than management), I am quite happy to play this natural game driven entirely by reason.
Isn't research the main driving force behind many universities? Would they really be affected that much by how some undergraduates got in, especially since they likely wouldn't even be participating in research anyway?

I guarantee they continued to cheat at MIT and Harvard. It is stupid easy to cheat. Most of the time the proctoring TA doesn't even walk the aisles.
Yeah, because that is how these things are priced. Oh no, wait a minute, they aren't. They will actually be priced using perceived-value-added, so someone paying 6.5 million might push that up a bit.
"I'd estimate that the point at which my hypothetical lifetime expenditure on owning a house drops below my hypothetical lifetime expenditure on renting would come a decade or so after the point at which I can expect to die."

Can you share some of the numbers you used to get to that conclusion? I've done similar estimates in my (high cost-of-living) city, and even with pretty conservative estimates of property value growth the payoff is much sooner. Yes, the mortgage payments are more than rent for a comparable home, but the interest (plus estimated taxes, maintenance, etc) is somewhat less than rent.

I'd guess one of the following is true:

* you are assuming stock market returns will significantly outstrip growth in your housing market, even considering leverage

* you don't have access to tax breaks on mortgage payments

* you are much older than 30

* you live in an area where home prices are wildly inflated beyond what rents would predict

>Can you live in the same property in 30 years?

...can you? Even owning a home doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to live comfortably in one place for 3 decades. Median homeownership is usually shorter than 15 years[1]. (Per 2009* - more recent numbers that I've seen indicate that number is decreasing, not going up, but those are usually based on more short-term studies, post 2008.)

And renovations aren't exactly something homeowners are comfortable with, even if they technically can do it.

Source: I work for a homebuilder who aims to sell multiple homes to each customer (from first-time, to trade-up, to retirement.) If the median homeownership-length went up to 30 years, we'd have to reevaluate our entire business model.

> there's a lot of inherent ability tied within ability to be accepted into an elite program

Yeah, the ability to be accepted into an elite program. This often has little bearing in real life (honestly, how much do you really care about the ability to get a good SAT score anymore?).
Using an analogy to murder isn't going to be very convincing when the thing you're comparing murder with isn't remotely as close to as bad as murder itself. It's a poor argument that trivially be rebutted by pointing out that the other thing isn't nearly as bad as murder, so the conclusions don't follow.
That's a very common perception, but it's not true! Kalman filters have for years been used to get usable data out of these and multiple studies have shown that ultrasound can be used as a standalone in low-speed scenarios.

Some people have proposed laser range finders with ultrasound (sonar);

'This article addresses the problem of performing SLAM under reduced visibility conditions by proposing a sensor fusion layer which takes advantage from complementary characteristics between a laser range finder (LRF) and an array of sonars. This sensor fusion layer is ultimately used with a state-of-the-art SLAM technique to be resilient in scenarios where visibility cannot be assumed at all times.'

There are enough datapoints between vision, ultrasound and radar for old school algorithms to do real time SLAM and make cost maps. So the problem and solution definitely isn't MOAR SENSARS.
If you think a small amount of affirmative action compensates in any way for the massive systemic barriers facing poor people or black/indigenous people in this country you should give away your money so your kids can give it a shot.
Yes, definitely. I mean, you certainly get better bandwidth and latency depending on popularity and geographic diversity of seeders, and there are even youtube-alternative websites that host videos on IPFS. But for something like browsing from one page to the next, where the payload is small and you want <200ms latency, I think just the DHT lookup might already put you above that budget. I'm guessing though, haven't made any measurements.
> Has Tesla publicly stated which sections of the road autopilot doesn't work on ?

yes: noone of them. you are to be able to take control at all time.
There are several people in this thread who don't understand a lot about modern PC videogame distribution. Just because "you don't care" or "you don't use" certain of Steam's many features it doesn't mean they aren't important or essential.

Thousands of developers rely on Steam, Epic, GOG, etc. for multiplayer networking/matchmaking features (all digital stores offer this type of service, AFAIK, but it's not the same service). In Steam's case this isn't limited to services provided in-game, but also inviting people or joining people directly through the Steam interface, which is invaluable.

Achievements are not unimportant. Millions of players play for the achievement; they are an essential part of their entertainment. In addition, they provide important metrics for developers, players and researchers.

The Steam Workshop is the best system out there for players to publish and obtain custom content and mods for games integrated with Steam. It's an essential part of several games; they literally couldn't exist in their current form without it.

The Steam Inventory can be used for holding a collection of meta-items provided by games to other games or for trading with other players who own the same game. It's not just used for trading cards. It would for example allow a Pokemon game to exist on Steam with tradeable Pokemon. It's used by SteamVR for allowing games to provide assets for SteamVR homes (not very important, but still quite interesting).

Steam's categorization, organization and search features are not excessive but insufficient. I want more of those, not fewer.

Family sharing is important for me to share some of my games with a small number of people from my family or close friends. GOG also allows me to share my games in this manner, since they are DRM-free.

Steam community pages/forums are often nowadays the best place to interact with developers and find important information regarding issues, upcoming patches, difficult bits of gameplay, and generally other people talking about that problem you just had.

I'm not saying Epic can't do all of this, and do it well. But saying that "all you need in a game store is to buy games" is incredibly naive. Any digital retailer that requires all of these services to be nonstandard and dispersed is doomed to lose.
Appreciation.

I hope programming advances a lot, but I'm not convinced that the medium is the interesting part. It's the semantic model that matters, and I think text has won so far because it's the best way we've come up with to express the models we have.

So maybe we'll be programming in a medium other than text, but I sure hope that's not the main advance that's made.
