A walk down memory lane on one of his previous attempts to demonstrate he was Satoshi:

https://github.com/patio11/wrightverification/blob/master/RE...

The one positive thing I can say about Bitcoin is that it gives someone who is factually Satoshi an extremely easy way to prove that fact in a way which is extremely difficult for anyone else in the world to forge. Wright hasn’t because he can’t because he isn’t.
It's not like the monitor will be sitting there playing Angry Birds all day - they will be required to be 100% focused on the road so they can intervene at a moment's notice. Personally I'd find that more stressful than just driving myself.
Or, that's why it makes sense. Apple wanted to move into the car market, and this would be a way to bootstrap that movement.

This is not true. Repeating it doesn't make it true.
Sorry, but I have a bone to pick with social mobility as measured in the cited articles.

Why do they only limit social mobility in terms of going from the bottom to the top quintile? That seems like one very limited measure.

Also, how does social mobility measure when you look at absolute gains? If America's top quintile is much higher than Europe's (which it is), you could have someone go from $20K to $200K per year in the US (bottom to 4th quintile) and that would be viewed as worse than someone going from $20K to $150K in Europe (bottom to top quintile).

Plus, you can't cherry pick social mobility papers, because they actually go both ways (US low or US high). It all depends on how you measure it.

I guess it's an unusal conclusion to draw from the paper, but I certainly have learned something new, which is that there is a second university in Zürich next to the ETH. And it even seems to have more students than ETH, the largest in Switzerland in fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Zurich

Not as creepy as giving a big corporation access to microphones around your house. It astounds me that much of America has done exactly that.
I think the big thing is that people expect their phones to leak some data. It communicates by definition, and that is essential to its operation. The fact that your car leaks such a large volume of sensitive data is surprising, and because it doesn't "need" to collect this data to perform its main function, which is converting dinosaurs into motion.

A car also holds a different place in the American consciousness, although that may be shifting. We see our car as an extension of self, while the phone is a connection to other people. We have greater expectations of control and privacy from the first than the second.

But to your point: I think the same statement should also be true of other data as well.

By that logic, all current crypto is already broken and we should only use quantum safe crypto.

You guys threat model for your personal computers are way beyond most of the planet, so I will concede and agree that you should not use browsers or run untrusted code until new CPU's are released. That is pretty much the only thing that will match your threat model.

Just a quick reminder; my MIT licensed open source project Resin [0] does pretty much of what WA does. It's free today and it will be free tomorrow. Free to use in production, to clone, fork, tear apart. Like WA

- it's a linguistic engine

- it has a query language

- there is a cloud you can use [1] if you don't want to host it on-premise

- it has high level API's for creating language models from JSON documents (or in other ways formatted)

- low level API's for creating whatever 64-bit vector space you might want

- tools that help you in the analysis phase

- tools for creating and deploy HTTP endpoints for reading from/writing to your model

Next week I'm freezing the API's for I will have reached v0.4, because by then, at my day job, we will have completed our first "AI powered" closed-sourced product based on Resin.

For this project to have any bearing and to stay alive and well (and free forever) I need your help. I need a community of contributors. Chip in, it's for a good cause!

Which Time-Series Database Is Better: TimescaleDB vs. InfluxDB
While people often don't have to do the explicit differentiation and integration taught it calculs that doesn't mean you aren't using knowledge learned in a calculus class.

I often think about rates flows and how they relate to each other. For example to do monitoring we count the total number of messages received in each task at a given time, then use the diffrence to get a rate. That is basically differentiation and understanding calculus makes it easier.

The other thing you acquire from doing Calculus is problem solving experience, figuring out how to apply various approaches to a problem to get to a desired solution. In this way calculus strengthens your brain similar to how a sports player might do weight lifting even if their sport doesn't involve lifting heavy objects.

No, I think the EU was inflammatory with wording: "heavy-arm wrestling in the corridors", "blackmail". At least in the US, you can't throw "blackmail" around casually as it carries a heavy criminal implication. We're talking about gifts and donations they have no rights to and that Facebook has no obligation to give.

Now the gifts themselves are a conflict of interest so they should never be allowed. Show of EU hands, who wants to outlaw all FB/GOOG gifts?

This is a case of wanting to bite the hand that feeds you and then whine when the hand yanks back the handouts too. Sure FB/GOOG plays a little dirty, but all corps/political states play this game.

One thing I've never understood about this argument is: iPhones/Pixels are $1000 no matter where you live. A new decent sedan is $25k no matter where you live.

Even if housing is 20% of your income in both HCOL and LCOL and it seems completely ridiculous to pay $500k * 20% and not ridiculous to pay $150k * 20%, you can still by more cars, phones, etc. with your remaining $500k * 80%.

This is ignoring the cost of consumables like food, etc. But I believe the same argument applies.
1. Cut caffeine (coffee, tea or energy drinks). The first 3 days suck. You should start sleeping better without stimulants.

2. Avoid blue screens 1 or 2 hours before sleep. I used to read my books on a Kindle Fire. I started reading paper books at night.

3. Exercise. The best time for exercising is when you have the time.

These three things should account for a significant improvement.
Is this meant to be parody (car => phone) or real? I honestly don't know, but if it's not parody, then I'm super curious about "no money in making cars" part.
This piece uses Ashlee Vance as a source. Having read and checked on facts in his books, his factchecking is sketchy at best. It's a somewhat believable rumour, but of course take it with a pinch of salt and consider that analysts like making big calls as well (usually backed by "anonymous sources").
I walked that walk and agree with you. My mom was the smartest person I knew until one day when she wasn't, didn't answer the phone, aunt found her on the floor incoherent, and for the next 6 years we cared for her in our and then her home next door. She never again recognized family.

Music from my mom's youth was the only thing that survived up until language was gone. Old photos maybe were recognizable to her for only a few months out of the six years we had her but she was great at covering up the dementia in retrospect I think she was essentially cold reading the conversation we were having into "recognizing" people in the photos, her immediate family.

There's a link to BBC archives another HNer posted that would have been wonderful to have in a US version. I dislike raining on Alex's product in a thread he should be proud of but from a product standpoint I believe the BBC thingie for US audiences could be more useful to caregivers and those suffering from dementia.
Looking at the current "Kill all regulations" frenzy gripping the US I'd wager that they're brutally underfunded.

Essentially the same problem that turned the FAA into Boeing's lapdog.
No, this makes complete sense. Tesla is opening up a huge new market, but it is under-capitalized. Also, Apple could give Tesla the design boost is desperately needs in the long term (those interiors barf...).

Semantics :), the device created the data, they played a role but I don't see why that means they control it. If the data plays a role in improving services or life for everyone let the data serve its role.

We still need strong regulations and gov agencies to enforce/protect, but I just don't see the point of claiming everything is your data blah blah.

Social media companies could be allowed to compete with traditional news media, if they were obliged to abide by the same standards, principles and legal regulations that apply to traditional news media companies.

In most EU countries, any newspaper spreading the kind of garbage you see on Facebook could (and probably would) be called to a public hearing in parliament and risk being shut down, and further legal action, if it was proven that it was publishing stories without doing proper due diligence.
The single most reliable source of good tech hires in my experience is undergrad internships. It's a 3 month interview both ways with full pay and benefits. If we could make that more commonplace for folks in mid career it would likely increase diversity as well as reduce hiring misfires.

> Modern cars collect as much as 25 gigabytes of data per hour.

Links to this McKinsey study as a source:

https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/automotive-and-assembly/...

Which says:

> Today’s car has the computing power of 20 personal computers, features about 100 million lines of programming code, and processes up to 25 gigabytes of data an hour.

McKinsey doesn't cite any sources. But more importantly, processing 25 GB/hour is not exactly the same as collecting it. The later, in the context of this article, is definitely trying to imply that the data is stored in some sort of semi-permanent record. So, the piece is at least a little disingenuous. That said, I agree with the premise that to the extent data is saved, it should belong to the vehicle owner, not the manufacturer.

Tangent: "the computing power of 20 personal computers." What are they trying to say here? I've got a 2017 Chevy Volt and 2016 Mazda CX-9 and I'd be shocked if there were half that much computing power between the two of them. Maybe they are trying to say there's 20 CPUs among the various systems in a modern car? Still that seems like a lot.
Given that they're not destroying the planet -and themselves with it- I'd give them at least the benefit of doubt.

It is "critical" in the sense that it is at this point it controls a large share of the "commons" where political speech takes place, and shutting down the ability of people to meaningfully participate in the political debate could very easily result in real world violence, which is what free speech is supposed to avoid.
This is probably the best one we have in public https://blog.asana.com/2017/08/performance-asana-app-rewrite.... If you have specific questions, we would be happy to write a follow up one! A lot of the work we've done has been measuring time from request to finished render.
A big part of this is prop 13 and tax policy. My anecdote is not unique: My mom inherited my grandfather's condo when he died. Because of Prop 13 (and it's follow ups) she gets to keep his original tax rate from his original home, which was set in 1978. She makes about $500/mo profit on the condo only because her tax rate is about $500 less per month than if it were purchased new. If we didn't have Prop 13, it wouldn't make a ton of sense to keep that condo, and instead we would probably sell it.

And for a lot of people, they're making a whole lot more on that arbitrage.

On my street is my house and three others that are all basically the same (4 bedroom, 3 bath, about 1750sq ft, give or take). My neighbor, who has been here for 40+ years, pays X in property taxes, my other neighbor pays 2X, I pay 10X and the last house pays 20X. All of our houses would sell for about the same amount. So basically the city is starved of resources for transit and subsidized housing. Things that would actually make this place affordable for people who make less than $150,000 a year.

And then to make matters worse, a local developer is trying to tear down our old mall and build "more housing" on it, but if you look closely, what they're really building is a huge office park with the bare minimum of housing to call it a housing project. They want to put in space for 15,000 workers and 4,000 people to live. That will not solve any housing problems. The city is trying to stop them, but they are using the CA state law that was supposed to fix this problem to get around the city. But the law was so poorly written that they will be able to create a housing deficit using a housing bill!

We need to get rid of Prop 13 and figure out a better way to stop the elderly from being priced out of their homes (which was the original purpose) and we need to move to a Japanese zoning model, where someone could buy (or tear down their own) single family home and replace it with a fourplex. Yeah, my neighborhood would loose it's "character" if a couple of these houses were replaced with quads, but at least some servers and maids and city employees and construction workers and teachers and .... could live here.
You need to adjust for cash and debt to get the enterprise value. If you do so, you’ll find that Tesla is worth about 50% less than it was.

I agree completely. I just wanted to point out that the higher momentum of a semi doesn't have any bearing on whether it's suitable in theory for automation.
I absolutely don’t contend that it can’t do incredible things, and I think a huge swath of developers would be eager to take advantage of these capabilities were it under more permissive circumstances. I’m also happy for you that you have the latitude and willingness to build software in a programming language toolchain that is not under your control, both technologically and legally. I know at the companies I’ve worked for, including it as a part of the product would not fly with so many departments, most notably legal, exec leadership, and most SW developers.

The reason for its dismissal goes a bit deeper than the simple fact that it’s not open source. We pay for other software (like E&M solvers), why not this? Because its use is not compartmentalized. It’s a programming language with the world’s most expansive standard library. Just as is the case with—say—Python, folks using this have no end to what they would build, including company IP. The code would absolutely not be portable, and your tech stack would be vendor-tied. That’s a danger zone for any serious enterprise.
The data collected by phones are used to train systems like web/voice search, voice translation, and routing algorithms, all which ostensibly (or, at least, purportedly) benefit billions of end users on a daily basis. I don’t see how you can say Tesla’s case is so obviously a more justified example. In any case, this article is about all cars — Tesla vehicles are still a sliver of the user base.
Why is that sensitive data? I am going to be a tad provocative here and hope people can dig deep and think about this :)

Facebook already has this, and most people are sharing this in the public sphere. I understand the worry and damage that can be done, but I feel like we are moving from a 1950s model of hide it all and pretend you a perfect, to more of a this is who I am and let me live my life as long as it doesn't hurt others or society.
Presumably Google still has a massive Bay Area presence because it's more profitable for them to stay there than move, at least that's what is implied. Maybe they should be pushing hard for the city to build more housing. But it seems like the current residents in that area are holding their hands to their ears, closing their eyes and shouting away any evidence that more people require more housing, or things will get worse. I can see your point that Google should probably move if that's the case, but the costs involved probably make it super unrealistic for that to happen, at least in the near future.

Where would you move Google, at this point, if you were in charge? There's not a single city -- in the US, at least -- that I can think of that would be prepared, with the right infrastructure or ready to build out a lot more. That probably factors into Google's decision making process as well.

Maybe we should be going back to the idea of company towns. Or possibly have urban planners building new cities from the ground up with proper infrastructure, housing, transportation, etc. that have the ability to expand for new residents and companies. Certainly the big cities in the US don't have that capability due to our car based infrastructure and our attraction to 30 year mortgages on suburban houses.
I have always wondered how mimimum-wage workers are able to afford living even remotely close to Manhattan or SF.

They split the cost with someone. Either with roommates or a wealthy parent who lives somewhere else.
