> The only possible solution is that the SDC and/or software manufacturer is legally responsible for any accidents the SDC causes. [...] But that would be money, not jail time, of course.

I don't think there's any "of course" there. As we see with the 2008 crash and the financial industry generally, corporate financial liability for the high-risk decisions of individual managers and execs doesn't do much to reduce systemic risk. For the managers, it's a "heads I win, tails you lose" play.

The difference between banks and robot cars is that a banking failure just means slightly higher prices for the customers and/or slightly lower dividends for investors. Whereas with robot cars, in comes in funerals. Especially given the endemic low quality in the software industry, there's little doubt in my mind that unless "disruptors" face actual jail time, we'll see what is in effect scaled-up negligent homicide.

Why the mad dash from Sony and Microsoft to partner, in a such public manner at that, almost immediately after Stadia's announcement then?

You can't really refute the actions from these companies themselves; they speak for themselves.
You mean the BLE API? In classic Bluetooth the main problem was the lack of APIs, only SPP is supported (and not even that, in iOS).

Bluetooth is really a good bad example of committee design.
...sometimes we need to recruit more experienced leadership. While we encourage companies to have a clear succession plan for the CEO, often companies at this stage ($10-50 million in revenue) do not have built-in successors.

Last fall, one of our portfolio companies (without a succession plan) lost its CEO...

In other words, the VC firm wanted the founder CEO gone but didn't have a credible alternative ready yet, so they assigned the job to a VC with the experience of... a waitress. Just another reminder to avoid taking venture capital if at all possible. This is not an uncommon occurrence.

VCs without any operational experience are a major problem. This is why so many companies get advised into the overfunded death cycle and never actually build a sustainable enterprise.

> lowering my personal expectations

Yes. raising one toddler was harder than I expected, two is not simple addition. Like kittens. It's an exponent. Figure when the youngest hits 10 you may be able to have a life of your own. By that time your goals may have changed. The sleep thing does get better eventually but then everything else happens.

There's other opinions and I say nothing against them; but i will repeat what others have said: It's worth the time. Raising another human being truly is one of the most rewarding things one can do.
I have a number of thoughts on this. A common claim I've heard is that query optimizers are better at producing efficient query plans than all but the best programmers. I can't find any concrete studies on this, but it's plausible. Databases are great at handling slight variations of a query and a data set. I've had times where I thought Postgres was going to execute a query one way, but it wound up executing it in a different way that happened to be more efficient.

Given that query optimizers are usually better than humans, it makes sense to use them for the general case. The question then becomes what happens for the exceptional cases. Cases where the database chooses a bad plan that a human could tell is obviously going to be slow. For these cases I think it's up to the database implementors to decide what to do.

Some databases have support for query hints, a way to force your DB to do what you want. The Postgres team has avoided implementing query hints for two reasons:

- In the long term queries that make use of query hints will be suboptimal. (Personally I don't buy this. I've ran across cases in Postgres where the planner will only give you a very inefficient query. I would rather use query hints to get the query to work for the time being than never have a working query at all.)
- Implementing query hints would overly complicate the planner. I find this to be pretty reasonable.

As usual, having a query optimizer is a tradeoff. It seems to me like in most cases it's better to have one than to not.
I've been working remotely for around 15 years now. Currently have an 8 year old and a 1.5 year old. At various times I've had the kids in day care, school, cared for by a nanny, by in-laws, or by my wife during my working time.

Obviously, school or day care makes it simple: they're not around, no problem.

Nanny and in-laws work pretty well too. They leave me alone unless they really need something.

My wife sometimes intrudes. She currently works as well, and typically works one day a week from home. She's a bit lax on those days, and she can forget that I'm not going to be the same way. I accept this when I can, and shut it down firmly but kindly when I can't.

The older kid has been coming straight home from school for the past year, no after-school care. It was harder to get her to understand that she can't monopolize my time until I'm done with work, but we got there.

The key is to set clear boundaries and expectations. Physical reminders help. Your office needs to have a door and you need to feel free to close it to keep people out. How much you need to do this will depend on how you work. I tend to deal with interruptions fairly well, so I mostly close my door for meetings and calls, but sometimes it's good to do it just to be able to concentrate. I reinforced this with a sign on the door saying "When is it OK to interrupt my meeting?" listing things like medical emergencies, fires, floods, aliens, etc.

Be kind, but be firm. Although you may be home, you are at work. As long as everyone understands this and respects it, you'll do fine.

Edit: forgot to mention, the boundaries and expectations need to go both ways. When you’re not at work then you’re not working. Don’t drag your laptop out or wander back to your office in the evenings. Make exceptions in unusual circumstances if needed, but the routine should be a clean separation both ways. Not only is this a good idea for your mental health and family wellbeing, it will make it easier to remember and respect your work time too.

I would go one step further and say if you don't have a major loan these days, you're a sucker. Get a loan at low interest, buy up assets, get additional loans on those assets as they appreciate.

That's basically the basis of this whole "economic boom". You can rely on the Fed being unable to raise interest rates, or this house of cards will collapse and everyone will need another bailout.

The Fed keeps talking about low inflation while asset prices have exploded on their watch, it's hilarious.

Taking a driver to their house sounds like a luxury, not a real necessity. Same for having the car available at a moment's notice, except for emergency situations for which there are emergency vehicles.

Carrying luggage on public transport is perfectly possible and for larger or more items it's always possible to hire a van.

I don't understand the "personal escape room" comment. Escape- from what? In a car? How?

And note that even if all of the above were true limitations of public transport, the benefits would still significantly outweigh them. Just the reduced emissions from multiple people using the same vehicle instead of each their personal vehicle, would be (are!) an enormous advantage.

The fact that everyone has their own car and drives it every day has caused serious problems, not least of which is environmental destruction on an unprecedented scale from the necessary infrastructure and emissions- and that's before we count the number of deaths from accidents and pollution. We need technologies and solutions that take more cars off the roads- not ones that put more on them.

Does the last mile problem really need to be solved to make autonomous vehicles fantastically useful?

A vehicle with an autopilot that's as reliably safe a highway driver as I am would be awesome. It'd give me back hours of attention (or sleep) during commutes or interstate travel. Even if it would seek a parked or human-piloted state on encountering problematic weather.

All-weather door-to-door capability may be what's needed to replace a large chunk of individually owned vehicles with a shared on-demand fleets, but highway-only would make individually owned vehicles much more convenient.
This isn't entirely surprising. On-premise infrastructure is getting extremely hard to scale for high scale services like gaming. Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have completely bent the market for data centers and hardware due to their cloud footprints. At this point, you have to be fairly niche or have really strong security requirements to justify the time and cost of not building on AWS, Azure, or GCP at that scale.

From what I understand, even Apple is starting to build more of its services infrastructure in the cloud, although those agreements aren't being widely broadcasted.

With that view, it should be obvious that a hardware-focused company like Sony simply could not scale the internal teams and infrastructure required to support high scale software services like on-demand gaming. They were going to have pick a cloud infra provider, and with every cloud provider also making their own foray into gaming, they had to make frenemies with someone.

Every employee needs to be paid, even if that's 0.
The original class was correct (a class is a namespace, then functionally dependent on language implementation).

The implementation of calculatePay, is extensible as it stands.

public Number calculatePay (Interface department)

You delegate to the class (even if the interface is optional)

Number val = defaultPayscale();
if(department) {
val = department.getPay();
}
return val;

Because EVERYONE expects Employee to have a calculatePay of some sort, for accounting software. The idea that you want to smear a concept across domains for a misguided utopian design is over-engineering. Programmers have an average intelligence, so aim for supporting a simpler mentality, regardless of your beliefs.
it's nice to hear that your cat had a good life.

however your experience doesn't generalize, particularly your assessment of the risks and benefits.

i watched a neighbor's cat get hit by a car and then die in my hands. the mortality rate for cats in my neighborhood is probably north of 20% per year (huge). it would be irresponsible to expose my cats to such risk when they're quite content already. mortality would have to be less than 1% (small) for me to reconsider.
I wonder how this method responds to things like Intel® Turbo Boost™. My understanding is that it boosts the clock speed when within thermal limits; I expect that the CPU would be at its lowest temperature earlier in boot, and so your loop would return a higher frequency than it would, say, after dealing with a Hacker News flood.

Everyone is wrong about long haul trucks, frankly. It will be easier to get fully autonomous cars than trucks. They're much longer and wider. They're at least twenty times heavier. They require much more room to maneuver, to start, and to stop. If they're involved in a crash, they cause a lot more damage.

Not to mention that there's nothing really predictable about a long route. Traffic, weather, construction, and every other variable is more likely to change over a longer route as well. It would be far better to focus on making autonomous cars first.

No need to guess. In most states, unless you're retired, the property tax is the property tax.

I sold real estate in Alabama (with some of the lowest property taxes in the country) 15 years ago. Even back then, on $230k, you'd be looking at around $1500/mo at today's rates, ~$1500/yr property tax, ~$2000/yr homeowner's insurance.

Unless a person is 100% OK with being a wage-slave, cracking a $21,500 nut every year--when you've only got $60k/yr pre-tax--is not a good situation.

It's not legally theft if Google makes a decision to start paying party B instead of party A.

You're choosing to let YouTube publicly host the video until further notice, and in exchange they agree to pay you whatever cut of ad revenue they deem appropriate. There's no question that under the terms you agree to, they can demonetize your videos at will. And if they also see fit to start paying somebody else when your videos get played, that's not something you have legal standing to complain about.

What it probably is, is fraud on the part of whoever's falsely claiming to Google that they have a copyright interest.
Fun fact. Most power grids in the developed world are run off of some of the largest MILP and LP problems. We're talking about millions of constraints to commit units and hundreds of thousands to dispatch them. These run around the clock 24/7.

I've only recently learned about SAT type solvers as MILP/LP problems are very fast and globally optimal, unlike things like A* or Genetic Algorithms. I think GA's are cool because you can write one in less than 1/2 page of Python, where MIP solvers are usually large black-box C codesets (Ex: GLPK, CPLEX, GUROBI, XPRESS, Open-Solver).
