Those 1/10th figures are in city areas. I'd like to see autopilot work out where I live in rural areas where deer, hogs, and other critters on the road are present and lines marking lanes are either faded or non existent.

Genuinely I would love to see it work. I think it is cool, but I won't use it. I like driving and I like being in control of my destiny. Even if the risk is higher. That's what makes us human.

Totally freelance? Not sure. Small teams doing custom site development? Absolutely.

I've seen large companies pay six figures to stand up a microsite, the kind of thing that one person could easily put together in a few weeks.

The catch is that you don't necessarily have a few weeks, you have a few days to go from concept exploration to go-live. It really becomes more about project management than web development in these instances, having a network who you can turn to quickly when you need more hands on deck.

And though I hate the phrase "full-stack" because it means so many things that it sometimes seems like it means nothing, they do really expect a well-rounded technologist.

I'm working with a consultant right now on a web project for my employer. I talked to him yesterday about IE11 fallbacks for Flexbox, proxy setup, CDN configuration, logging and metrics, debugging a custom legacy spaghetti-coded marketing-tech JavaScript, modifying a Drupal PHP module to support project-specific requirements, configuring cron, and a handful of other things, and I fully expect when I talk to him today he's going to have all of those tasks finished.

Those people are invaluable. Someone who can write a little HTML and CSS and maybe stand up WordPress? I'm sure there are jobs for that, but I don't have any need to hire them as a freelancer because I expect everyone on our staff to have those abilities.

That said, doing freelance web dev is _exactly_ how I got my foot in the door with the job I have now. But it paid squat for the time I was doing it, and I hated it because my time ended up being 50%+ of the time running the business side of things instead of building website, which is the part I actually enjoyed.

There've been a few cases where the ransomware was not decryptable - sites like BleepingComputer frequently discuss which ransomware have been cracked by researchers, which are currently actively run and will provide keys and which are undecryptable and you shouldn't pay in any circumstances. Basically it just makes things more complicated, but people are still willing to pay if they can in their specific case and the one they're infected with is reported as regularly providing good keys.
It's probably the same as with Pokemon Go[0]. The game is fun on its own, and the geo aspect makes it different and get's you out of the house. But the reality of the VR is grossly overrated and more often a nuisance than something adding to the experience.

I just pulled mine out of the attic after they had been sitting there for more than a decade. It's dry up there, but not cool at all. I'm in central Texas and in the summer you can only be up there for a few minutes at a time because it's so hot.

I bought dbPowerAmp and ripped them all to ALAC. Only a couple of them couldn't be accurately ripped and that's because of scratches on them (some of them are from the mid-80's and have had rough lives).

I've taken to traveling with this[1] bag from Osprey. I typically put my cameras and tablet in a separate small backpack, though for shorter trips all my stuff will fit in the Osprey (just in case I get really unlucky with overhead - I will not gate-check my electronics). For longer walks, I strap the small backpack to the Osprey. For short walks, I wear the Osprey normally and sling the other bag over a single shoulder.

I wonder how many adults would give the desired answer, with no context. I don't think I would.
This looks ambitious enough to be met with skepticism. What matters most for gameplay is the UX implementation and AR has serious barriers to overcome in that regard. Holding a device up at eye level for extended periods, interacting with the game by touching the same device that is also serving as the viewport and battery limitations are just a few practical hurdles that have yet to be overcome.

What is really hard to believe is that one can recapture the experience or something close to it and that this is not just the expansion of a brand into a new product. Like Pokemon Go, this will likely be Minecraft's equivalent to the Star Wars Christmas Special but without the "so bad it's good" quality.
Trump unveils 'merit-based' immigration policy plan
Most of my bug reports have been very well accepted. The worst response I can remember is just not responding for like 3 months.

And on the other side as a maintainer, any bug report that demonstrates a clear issue (crash, hang, etc) with a reproducible setup is appreciated.

What can be really frustrating are bug reports that aren't bugs and a better understanding of the software would allow them to solve the problem. For example, there was one issue on Slic3r that was asking for a PDF output of config files. There is really no reason to do that.
What a great reminder to authors that it's possible. Especially in tech, since the various technologies get replaced so quickly - quite a few books barely sell out the first printing before they're already obsolete. Why not put them up online for free after that.

Traveling to U.S.A. is a pretty unique experience, depending on your visa/status. And I don't mean it in a good way... With my E-2 visa crossing immigration at JFK is anywhere between 20 minutes (very lucky) and 1 hour. To be fair it has improved massively, it used to be 2+ hours. In any case my checked baggage will be waiting for me, not the other way around.

But check-in is far worse: nobody knows how to handle an E-2 visa. Last time I went to Japan it took 4 JAL employees 20 minutes to figure out which numbers to enter where on their system. Still two hours less than Air France that may or may not have someone to take care of passengers that cannot check in on their DIY terminals... Hence I try to avoid Air France when flying to US, even though otherwise I quite enjoy flying with them.

But really, there's no reason why waiting for checked luggage should be a thing. I'm always thoroughly impressed when flying domestic Japanese flights: get off the plane, walk to the luggage pick-up area, pick up luggage. No waiting time: checked bags are already there. I don't even know how they do that. Aéroport de Paris should send a team or two over there and study hard...

Snuba: Sentry's New Search Infrastructure (Built on ClickHouse)
You are absolutely right, and I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted for that. It isn't as if Hertz has any vested interest in this that would make them desire to make stupid mistakes like this. Arguably the individuals responsible for the failure could be culpable, but we generally do not do that for honest mistakes.

The proper analogy for an individual would be if someone with a mental impairment loaned a vehicle and then called the police. There would be consequences, but none would likely involve criminal (or possibly even civil) charges.

In the real world, mistakes do happen.
Yep, I agree, but it's easier said than done, especially when there's a hair on fire situation.

For those following along at home: I had difficulty seeing it when the y-axis is on a log scale, because the gap between 0.1 and 0.2 Mjup is so small. I turned off log scale on the y-axis, then zoomed in so that the gap between 0.1 and 0.2 Mjup was actually discernible, and there I could see it. There's a lot of points that look to be basically on 0, which I assume are the planets below 0.1 Mjup. But for all points that don't look to be basically 0, there's an invisible asymptote they don't cross; there is not a smooth transition of points between basically 0 and clearly above 0.

> I know it was not your intention but your comment reminds me of the infamous HN comment on why dropbox is useless and would never be successful.[1] :))

Except the context of the argument is different. OP is doing this for convenience and privacy reasons along with the availability and no-cost argument. While it's a slight point to make it is an important one these days. With the Dropbox argument the old HN comment was making the point without the context of privacy, security or even availability of which we all have to consider today. We know service providers have removed or deleted purchases by users. Some providers remove content and make it paid for during adventageous times of the year (e.g. holidays) and, well, privacy doesn't need much expansion here. We also know vendors can lock you into hardware ecosystems through file formats. Finally if we all stop DIYing our media/files/etc the options will turn into expert level oniy. So the continuation of this being a thing keeps the open side of the conversation right side up. Lest we all end up boiled frogs.
If Aldi would move to places that don’t have a grocery store close by and get rid of the organics - the whole idea of organics is just feel good marketing anyway - to save even more, they could really make a killing where their only competitors are Dollar Stores.
This idea gets brought up every time autopilot is discussed here but it’s not really relevant. If autopilot were safer than human drivers there would be an argument for allowing it, but there’s no evidence that it is. Sure Tesla claims that it is based on very specific, cherry picked internal metrics, but independent analysis shows there’s just not enough data to say. Also the class of errors that autopilot makes is completely different than a human. Most human car crashes are preventable, either driving under the influence or distracted driving. I would much rather be in a crash with a drunk driver where liability was clear than have my car drive underneath a tractor trailer in the middle of a clear day just because I hit some neural network edge case.
I suggest people watch the actual Tesla autopilot in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk0eZRVw9x4 before making definite judgements. I watched this video, and I counted at least 3 situations where the car would've had a minor crash and one situation where the crash could be head on collision as the car couldn't detect wavy lanes properly without road markings.

The technology Tesla is using in the autopilot is pretty cool, but the feature definitely has a wrong name. It should be called something like Driver Assist Plus etc.

Oh, and there is no way in hell they'll have functioning robotaxis outside predetermined geographic areas in one year's time. I'll print this post and eat it if they do!

This is an important point. There is a small mental burden users face every time they see a new website and have to understand how it has been laid out and where things are and what they mean. Medium gives users "just the content" in the same familiar layout to streamline the process.

Not to mention the sites that have silly disorienting scrolling effects, with things moving around while they slowly load, or are barely even functional on mobile. Although these tend not to be problems for the average blog.
> When did reading stuff on the web become pay to play?

Stallman was right.
Most books (especially more than a year in) aren't actually a profit opportunity, and the effect of increasing competition for their other books is small enough to be totally negligible (at least in the current state of the market). And, as the other comment said, free ebooks can drive book sales.
Driving is dangerous and many drivers suck at it. But if you want a relevant comparison only consider similar circumstances and driving conditions (motorway or city traffic? blizzard or sunny?). Then normalize for the number of vehicles of each type and their age/capability (20 year old clunkers with failing brakes aside). And in the end count in the times AP made a mistake and the driver corrected it (Tesla has the info, only they know why they refuse to make it public).

I've grown up in rural areas, and I think that at some point, automated driving can be even better in those scenarios than humans can be.
