The driver sets the speed. Unless the autosteer determines that it is on a two lane road with no central reservation or other divider in which case it restricts the speed to the speed limit plus whatever margin the user has set. It never increases the speed beyond what the user has set. At least that's how my 2015 S 70D with AP1 (1.5?) works. And it's pretty reliable. I think I have driven about 30k km in the last 18 months and I must have had autosteer on for close to half of that. It misbehaves a little on the kinds of roads that Tesla says it is unsuited for but still the car and I drive better together than either would alone.

Where anyone who actually drives a Tesla would get the idea that you could sleep while the car drives I can't imagine. The configuration screen where you enable it makes it perfectly clear that this is a driver assistance function that requires the driver to be able to take control. And every time you enable the function with the steering column stalk it reminds you in the dash to keep your hands on the wheel.

Yachtsmen sleep while on autopilot but that kind of autopilot is considerably less capable that Tesla's and is only safe while in the open sea away from busy shipping lanes, ditto aircraft. As far as I know commercial aircraft require at least one pilot to be awake and in the seat in the cockpit at all times whether or not autopilot is on.

> How about small government?

A lot of the small government rhetoric in the present day United States is actually rooted in racism. Google Lee Atwater's n-word quote for a 1980s GOP strategist's perspective. To summarize: overt racism becomes unpopular with some of the electorate so they come up with coded language about small government and taxation to appeal to racists.
This gives me concerns about legacy. Henry Ford is still well known and quoted today not only because he built a well known company and iconic products a century ago, but because his company is still building cultural icons today (F-150 and Mustang).

I would much prefer to build a Ford than a Yahoo/Tumblr/Compaq, even if it meant my personal fortune was 10x or 100x lower.

There was even a post on HN recently by a small artist talking about how the Discover algorithms brought listeners to his music that probably never would have found him otherwise.

I'm a big fan of the recommendation algorithms, so I set up a super basic site to wrap the Spotify API and let anyone get recommendations based on a single song link, rather than waiting for the Discover Weekly recs which are based off the blend of everything you listen to.

Warning: the site is really basic right now
Things which would have helped here:

- healthcare not linked to employment

- a housing-first homeless policy

- a compassionate aid policy that presumes that people who are asking for help need help, and starts providing help as soon as it is asked for rather than after a year or more.

Those don't seem like they have any major risks other than monetary.
I have an Xduoo X3, which has a community Rockbox port, and supports 2 x 200GB cards. Imagine the Sansa Clip+, but double the size, double the capacity, and double the ports (it has line out as well as headphone out).

But it's so much easier to listen to music on my phone, because:

1. Spotify's UI makes it easy to find something to listen to, so time I would spend navigating folders is instead spent listening to music.

2. My phone works with my Bluetooth headphones. Sure, the headphones also support a wired connection, but wireless literally just gets out of your way.

I believe the previous solution was to err on the side of allowing 24-hour involuntary psychiatric holds, with observation by a neutral doctor, and taking abuses of that extremely seriously.

In my friend’s case, he had actually set up permissions for the doctor, his family, and I to initiate such a thing, but after his episode started, he fired his doctor and was quiet for a month, which nullified the paperwork he had done to create a safety net for himself.

The law has a list of things that have to happen before the psychiatric hold if there is not such an arrangement.

Basically, the mental illness has to affect some number of life areas. I think this is the list, I might be remembering wrong:

- work
- finances
- shelter
- self care (eating, etc)
- family life / marriage.

It used to be that one thing on the list was sufficient. I think the current law is that a total of three are necessary, but not sufficient.

Risk of immediate self harm or harming others is a different path, but the person basically has to say “yes, I do plan to kill myself, or that fellow over there, officer” on camera for that to count.

Anyway, my friend ticked all six of these boxes, and that wasn’t sufficient. If the person is borderline coherent, don’t think anything really is.

(Nothing in this message should be considered medical or legal advice. Go talk to a doctor and a lawyer if you might need to know any of this stuff, especially if everyone is healthy at the moment.)

While this might shooting from the hip...If health care insurance came bundled with life insurance, perhaps the providers would have an incentive that would be good for everyone?

It doesn't have to be. What if all the people who "pay" for Redis, their money want into a collection bucket, and nobody got the money until they earned it. Then you work on your own schedule and "earn" that money at a fixed dollar rate per hour, and claim the money at the end. Other trusted contributors can join this effort and claim the money after working the hours. This way, hours are up to the contributors, and money is more like the "pledge" in Kickstarter for example, or a check that's not yet cashed.
I agree, but there are many people who are in positions to exercise this kind of discretion who refuse or who only do so after they've extracted tainted benefits.

Tableau straight out refuses to make tables that look good because they want users to do charts. So if your users want cross tab looking reports like Pivots, Tables, etc., you'll be left with a very limited solution. Tableau does also very limited notifications and those are normally "subscribed" by users, not centrally managed. Finally, no pdf or print out or screenshot ever looks as good as those from Excel, I don't know why, but they know it is a problem and they still think it's ok. In summary Tableau is about the "Tableau way" which is great if you have the right type of user, but completely sucks if you don't. For instance, if you are trying to move people away from Excel, Tableau is too much of a leap and will hurt your adoption of an online solution. Things like "SeekTable" are better if all you need is moving away people from crazy Excel files.

> given the track record of the federal government doesn't sound like a good idea

For the vast majority of Americans, their only interactions with the federal government are through social security and through medicare--two of the most widely popular functions of government. Government has plenty of failures, but that's the nature of enterprise writ large.
> A lot of people are making a lot of money. Either through positions that shouldn't exist or taking advantage of inflated prices.

Yep. Just look at health care and related salaries in other countries. There are many fewer people in pharmaceutical sales in the EU or in Asia. Likewise, while being a doctor is a comfortable career in EU countries, no doctor earns $400k+ per year, like some surgeons/specialists in the US do. The problems aren't unique to any specific role in the US system, they are ubiquitous.

I am generally opposed to any major health care reform that the AMA, the AHA, PhRMA, or AHIP is in favor of.
It's actually really hard to imagine an actual physical apparatus for producing a "reference" Kg mass using the new definition of Kg.

All the horrible things you describe about government run healthcare is the situation literally today.

You would have more freedom in a most liberal people's idea of universal healthcare which basically amounts to "medical professional says it's necessary -- gov't pays the full amount." Does anyone, of any political leaning, really think that politicians or insurance companies -- really anyone other than the individual and their doctor -- making medical decisions is what we should strive for?

You can be insulated from the problems by somewhat by having enough privilege and money which is why it becomes a race and class issue. And it's precisely the people who are largely unaffected or benefits from these policy changes who are making them.

The people who worry about having shortages and wait-lists, or the burecratic nightmare are the people who today can pay to be at the head of the line. Everyone else already is dealing with this.
> "it's free, go away" is a real problem.

Characterizing this as a problem is like accepting free candies from someone and then complaining that you were not given more candies.

My method is always make yourself small examples to study as you read. So if you're reading a Python book chapter on lists, stop reading and open emacs or whatever editor and write yourself some lists. If it's a section on stacks/queues, make a toy stack or queue model. This is the only way I was able to read some difficult texts in programming theory, by making sure I understood what I was reading before continuing the chapter, sometimes this took a few days stuck on one topic. My course recommendation after that green tea press introduction is https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~112/schedule.html notice that each topic has video buttons to watch a short youtube lecture, and notice the 'weekly practice' 'hw' and 'labs' on the right side. These are all open and come with a linter to enforce class scope and a solution test suite.

Except Europe, Canada, the UK, Australia, China and almost every other country in the world would disagree. Immediate family is one thing, however US immigration family preference means that a illiterate cousin of an applicant has priority over a highly accomplished person with no family in the US. Spouse and minor children, certainly, and Trump’s proposal is in line with Europe and Canada in the regard. In fact, his proposal is more like Canadian immigration policy.

Honestly, Trump could propose single payer healthcare or universal pre-K and the anti-Trump crowd would oppose it.

A helpful exercise for people of both parties is to ask if you would agree with a given policy if “your guy” had said it.
So go a town over, pay cash, and give a fake name, and get help from a therapist about why having anything written down is so scary for you, until you get past that particular emotional block. (If it's about possible loss of wages/job, that's why there's HIPPA, and malpractice lawsuits.) And then continue paying cash and using a fake name, just closer to home.

It is hard to actually manage to get help for mental health issues in the first place, but if the issue is so great, that you need to share with strangers on the Internet need that you suffer from similar FUD about the process, then it is possible that the issues are a bigger problem than you realize.
Yup, we just don't have mass-deployed sensors with high enough precision and accuracy yet. We'll get there.
Airplane autopilots require human intervention only in rare emergency scenarios

That is not even remotely true. Pilots must babysit the autopilot and do. When flying on autopilot you still constantly check instruments to make sure that the plane is going where it should, how it should, as fast as it should. They sometimes have faults, and they have caused crashes. Pilot training is VERY clear that AP can never be relied on.

Eg: If you tell your AP to climb at 2000 ft/min, many will happily stall you trying to maintain that climb well above where your engine(s) provide(s) enough power to do so; if you tell your AP to descend to 3000 ft over sea level, most will happily fly you into a mountain that is in your way and rises to 4000 feet above sea level (in a better-equipped plane, TAWS will beep at you to tell you about this, but most APs will press on); if you tell your AP to maintain altitude, many will happily overspeed the aircraft in a large updraft, nosing down to avoid the climb.
I disagree. Technical ease has nothing to do with monetization and it's extremely easy to set up.

We have been using this for almost 7-8 months and even though I don't personally like the style of it very much, it has helped keep everything consistent. You can set it up as a pre-commit hook to automatically format the code too

I strongly disagree with the housing first policy. I tried paying for temporary housing for my friend, and things spiraled. The housing has to be conditioned on some sort of recovery plan.

> a simple fact of life that after graduating, it gets harder to make friends as you get older

This is not really a simple fact of life, in my opinion. It only gets harder because people make less of an effort. If you put as much time and energy into being social later in life as you do in college, then it isn't any harder to make new friends.

The main difference is that in school, you're automatically surrounded by a lot of varied people. Out of school, that's not automatic -- you have to intentionally put yourself in such situation. Often this is done by joining and participating in clubs and organization that cover things you're interested in (dancing, crafting, whatever).
How do you enforce the use of a formatter in a project -- pre-commit hook? pre-receive hook? both? And is there a convention to put a specific dotfile at the project root to hint at your IDE/editor that it should use a certain tool for automatic formatting?
Yea... except HP is where things go to die. They have a long proud history of acquiring a company and investing some money in it - then deciding it's too expensive, shutting down the department and fire-selling any hardware they have in stock.

There’s always Creative mode if you don’t like the resource constraint dynamic. The mining in Survival mode is a challenge to think your way out of. You have to be smart to know the most productive ways to get the resources you need.

+1. Motivation is perhaps the most important aspect of teaching. I find that lectures are a terrible medium for teaching a concept; I find that I need time for quiet contemplation / practice / experimentation to truly understand something. However, lectures are fantastic for motivation and encouraging me to do the extra work on my own.

I've been reading (along with my kids) Ben Orlin's Math with Bad Drawings book which is great at motivating and presenting math in interesting ways that are all about presenting things as an interesting puzzle to be solved vs. the way much of math is presented in a rote "this is the algorithm / solution" way.
