>TuSimple and the USPS declined to disclose the cost of the program, but Frum said no tax dollars were used and the agency relies on revenue from sales of postage and other products.

Really? This is exactly the kind of thing we should be spending tax dollars on. I have no idea why people think the USPS is this giant wasteful pit of money in the federal budget but they provide a lot of valuable services in addition to steady employment for a lot of Americans.
I believe people who develop critical softwares do software verifications which should involve Symbolic Execution.

You need a lot more people to move the same amount of cargo in trucks, so there is a lot more money to be saved.

The consequences of individual crashes is also higher, which changes the perception and consequences of mistakes, even if the number of trucks means the actual scale of the problem might be similar.

The old status quo was horrible for women, but the current situation makes some men uncomfortable, so I guess that's worse?

Or maybe changes are necessary, and the bad old days are still hanging on in the form of people failing to recognize how bad things were and still are for women.

I'm curious what the return looks like for self driving trains.

I'm going to bet for both safety and employment, trains and transport ships are orders of magnitude more efficient already. Trucks are a pretty big source of human inefficiency.
Dark mode, for the first time ever, has legitimate, objective reasons to want, now that we have pure LED displays: a black LED pixel consumes no energy.
ZFC includes an infinite axiom schema, so it's not really elegant and simple in that way either.
I think there are a lot of gives and takes here. People being "afraid" of each other seems a bit dramatic. I think this may be the first time many men in the workplace had to sit back and evaluate the things they say before they say them. This movement has shed light on some of the utterly repulsive behavior people have been getting away with for years, now people just ask you to think twice before telling a joke. If thinking before saying something to a female coworker is that difficult for so many, then I am not really sure what we can do to fix it.
If you feel this positively about the touchscreen, then having only a day's worth of driving experience might be a point in favor of Tesla's implementation. My reflexive skepticism re: a touchscreen interface would be how unintuitive and unfamiliar (and likely obfuscated) the controls would feel in comparison to the physical interface I've used my entire life.

Raises, vacations (when I was at companies that gave them based on tenure), promotion considerations, you name it.

I recovered a bit since I was working on side projects during sabbatical and could talk for them in interviews, so switching companies helped a tad (though finding someone who would hire someone with a big hole on their resume wasn't easy).

There's also just stuff that you only learn on the job and can improve on indefinitely, like managing people, projects, etc that obviously was behind by the amount of time I was off work and meant I wasn't up to snuff for some opportunities.
We don't know what OP said (or rather, mumbled out) about her body. From what OP states, it's reasonable to infer that they said "Your body is in my personal space, you're making me uncomfortable" or something to that effect. And then they got in trouble for that, which seems quite indefensible!

> Do you navigate your phone while driving?

No? I don't understand why the ability to use my phone while driving is important here.

> Touchscreen input did not won because is better but because it is included in the screen so you can keep the device smaller, but keep in mind that the important functions on the phone are still done with physical button like the Power button, volume buttons, you can usually open your camera by tapping a physical button a few time, why ?

Touchscreens won because they're versatile: enough so that I don't actually have a physical button on my phone to open the camera.

To me this looks like an interesting attempt to holistically give some overview of mathematics to lay people and could be improved if eg. those with correction proposals here would have some way to contribute back.

My question is the PORTION who are benefitting - is this 2 employees? 20? If it’s 20 this is a serious commitment, if it’s 2 it’s more of a PR stunt...
(Way) back in college, we had been learning high-level programming concepts (UI, OS, Compilers, Algorithms, etc), underlying math behind computing, and physics up through circuits. My favorite course was Computer Architecture which was set up to pull everything together, mostly through a series of simulated computer projects, until, at the end, you realized you knew how a computer worked from math, through physics, and up to what the person interacted with. One of my favorite educational experiences ever. The Professor (Yale Patt) was a really interesting guy, great storyteller, and still actively worked with Intel. I also thought he was really friendly, turns out he just liked talking my girlfriend at the time and I was a tag-along ;)
It would be better if they offered a way to really turn it off. Firefox has got very crashy in environments that have no access to a GPU.

> Whether the center console control is buttons, touch screen buttons or touch screen swipes doesn't matter that much

Could not disagree more. I find it matters greatly - with buttons and switches on the central console, I simply don't look away from the road to adjust the heating, turn the demist on or whatever. Only takes a very short while to become accustomed to where they are in a new vehicle, and extent of rotation etc. Then it's 99% muscle memory. No eyes required.

Which of course is entirely impossible with touch screen - you have to look, every single time. Swipe or press is irrelevant - it's the look that's the problem.

Like most I appreciate a decent map screen, but I detest the rise of touch to replace standard switches and buttons in a vehicle.
> Do you own a keyboard?

Yes, I do, but that doesn't mean I hate touchscreens…
What's innovative about what they're doing?
No offence intended I don't really see the value of this book WRT to this paper. The paper seems to be about HLLs where the book, great as it surely is, is 90% about, well, binaries.

Given that I won't have time to learn binary analysis (there's no payback for me), is it really worth getting the book just for the final chapter, which I presume is not going to cover HLLs anyway?
It's been awhile since I've worked outside the Apple ecosystem, but when I first started with Mac programming I thought their documentation was absolutely amazing.

I wasn't combing through the bottoms of experts-exchange posts to find obscure references to long forgotten Microsoft C++ APIs, I could just read the docs for the class and do what I wanted.

In the decade or so I've been writing mostly Mac/iOS software, this experience is largely unchanged and still better than other platforms I've tried to write for.

I think everyone looks at their own favorite platform through rose colored glasses and it's pretty easy to dismiss the warts when you've dealt with them for so long.
Sandberg: FB Shouldn't be Broken Up, or else Chinese Companies will Dominate
Yeah, but Swift was meant to be an open source project from day 1. The Apple GUIs are part of the secret sauce from their point of view, they probably won't ever be open source... I imagine not even the documentation.
Technically it’s extortion, of which blackmail is a type but not the right type. Cherry picking the wording feels pedantic here.

I’m not sure if this is legal and I think it varies by jurisdiction. For example, in the US I don’t think it’s actually legal to give donations to political offices contingent on them passing certain policies. You can, however, donate freely, imply you favor certain policies, show them more stacks of cash in your future lobbying fund, and wink.

Ask HN: A comprehensive guide to choosing a messaging app for a community?
It's that time again when we need to pick a messaging app for a new community and yet again, the options are too many. Is there someone who maintains an up-to-date comparison table for messaging apps like Slack, Discord, Spectrum, MatterMost, Zulip, Matrix/Riot, Telegram, Rocket.chat, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Flock, Cliq, Keybase, Threema for Work... I'm pretty sure the list would be at least 5X of this.
Forbes asks the company, and they guess if the company doesn't share. If the company does share, the numbers are not AFAIK audited. (This is to say that I would not expect the Forbes data to be especially accurate.)

Basecamp is claiming 200k more accounts since 2018. At 100% retention, that's $20mm per month of new revenue. Factor in whatever churn you want, a $25mm annual revenue estimate for Basecamp 2017 sounds ridiculously low. (They are claiming 700k new accounts between 2016 & 2018.)
Are the passwords from private and non-private browsing mixed, or are they isolated from each other?
That's a load of BS. Have you ever been accused of "crossing the line" with a male colleague? Have you even been concerned that you might? If not, then I think I found your problem. If someone can't come in to work and do something as simple a act like a professional around their co-workers for a few hours then it makes me wonder what else they can't do professionally.
Most people don't realize you can ssh to ILO and use it to access a virtual serial port on your server. That gives you console access without an ILO license.

It can be a little complicated depending on your Linux, but if you google "ILO virtual serial port" you should be able to find some decent directions.

My word! How shocking! You had to read nearly 800 whole words. You should definitely cancel your subscription. Maybe even ask for a refund.

Seriously, people like you, who whine about free things while contributing nothing, are a real reason people shut down free things. Or don't start them at all.

I had that setting set to true since before the update.

Every site that mentions letterboxing claims this is the setting to use to enable it.

However, unless I misunderstand, it does not seem to enable it.
Yep, I agree it's always a risk; but if you were really concerned you could perhaps acquire a small outfit like Keikai and protect yourself. Your money just isn't interesting to Google so that's never an option.

And I don't believe it's true to say they've only killed unpopular things. Anything outside of the core business (and I will argue Sheets/Docs is outside) is up for the chop.

A problem that Tesla has is that the current UI is built for the model 3. The layout of that screen makes a ton of sense. It doesn’t work nearly as well with the S, because of landscape versus orientation.

It took me about 5 minutes to get use to the model 3s display - even without the binnacle. My Honda feels horribly cluttered on the rare occasions I drive it.

Own a TM3, so bear with my bias.

I find the whole haptic feedback issue a bit silly. First off I went from a Chevrolet Volt to a TM3. So lets start off with buttons.

Steering Wheel
TM3, two omni direction buttons. Two stalks.
Volt, 5 buttons to do the same purpose as the two on the Telsa, then four more buttons for extra functions on front, three lever like buttons on back of wheel.

Center Stack
TM3 - touch screen, only the quick actions menu leads to one level sub mensu
Volt - touch screen with four dedicated buttons and knob below. Menus and be many layers deep, some are four or five deep. HVAC below has thirteen buttons and two knobs.

The come all the controls on doors and seats. Some cars put some items in different places meaning for each car you need to adapt. However as I will state below, you never really need to use the majority of them so it does not matter.

Most cars are like the Chevrolet Volt, there are between thirty to fifty buttons. Now tell me how that is worse than a touch screen. Lets double down on this, how many buttons do you actually use during the course of a drive. Try this, put a sticker on each before a drive and remove those you use. How many can you reach for any not take your eyes off the road. Any radio or screen will do that regardless.

The kicker is, you don't need to interact with the UI of the Tesla or the super majority of most buttons in any car these days because for the most part settings are set and forget. HVAC systems are set to maintain a temperature, radio stations or music is usually only volume tweaked plus many other items are automatic like headlamps and even wipers.

I was accustomed to my TM3 before I got home the day I picked it up. I can get accustomed to nearly any car in minutes as the most used controls are always where you expect them, from turn signals to horns to volume control over the radio. I will say this, the navigation on voice is superb in the TM3.

Are there flaws with the Tesla UI, sure. Namely you still must use your phone to change play lists. I know of no other brand with this limitation. I do think the horizontal display of the TM3 is superior to the vertical display for both information pickup and icon spacing. I agree the top icons can get hard to see when map features underlap and that needs to be tweaked to fade those map images
Which sites?
Your "rising interest in Gopher (the protocol)" is a handful of enthusiasts. Maybe if you tried really hard, you could identify two dozen of them. There are over half a million Go programmers in the world.
Hopefully they will rewrite the rest of Firefox in Rust as soon as possible.
If I'm the service that needs a payment, then it is up to me to make sure it happens. If it doesn't, then I need to deal with that, because that's something that can happen with a payment.

So if I don't hear from the payment that it has been initiated, then I have to go on the basis that I can't get a payment.

But I also don't get to tell the payment how to deal with its internal activities, I don't want to know about it retrying, or working out which payment provider to use etc.

Objects arent FiniteStateMachineManagerFactories. They're actual things that your system is built to handle. If an object needs an FSM, it'll get one, just like cells have mitochondria.

Search startup closing: what should I do with 1PB of social media content?
Wanted the advice of HN here.

I have a search company I've run for the past decade which I'm shutting down in the next 60 days.

We had a good run but got hit by 2-3 major issues at once which makes the business model non-viable in the long term.

We have > 1PB of content. Mostly social media content.

This is all public data. Nothing private or nefarious like private email addresses or passwords.

I don't want to just delete it but I also realize it's insanely expensive to move around.

I also think it would be very irresponsible to just publish it openly. There are plenty of bad actors who would love to do something if they could get this much data for cheap/free.

However, the data is very valuable to researchers. Especially in light of the 2016 election. We have social media data for the last 4 years.

I want to preserve it but want to do so responsibly.

Any suggestions?

I'm also blockch4iner@gmail.com if you'd like to reach out directly.
For older cars that might be true, but just for example - newest BMWs have more PPI (1920x720 @ 12.3") than Tesla screens (1920x1200 @ 17"). Size is subjective. Personally, i like to feel actual buttons and from time to time i am using them while driving, although mostly related to climate (ventilated / heated seats, blast AC when the car is hot and then turn it off etc.)
I believe those lights on mirrors are really called blind spot monitor not lane assist, my car has them (with lane assist warning which vibrates the steering wheel) i can't remember if i ever got a false positive and i like them. The fact is that you still have to look at your mirrors, those lights just give additional information which is a plus.
At the end of the day i don't really see a point of having a huge screen in your car unless you spend an insane amount of time just sitting in the car and not driving.
P.S. Tesla has no HUD option which i find absolutely idiotic.

Running Firefox under Qubes has become increasingly frustrating, as tabs crash whenever (apparently?) they try to use WebGL, or anything that depends on access to a GPU. More and more, Firefox seems to depend on GPU access (or something?) and fails hard when it's not there.

There's a very good article [0] that makes rounds here very now and then. It gives a very good explanation of many of those concepts, while remaining understandable for those that haven't taken CPU design courses.

Oh no, it doesn’t and it wasn’t what I wanted to imply.

But you might have scenarios where you want or require synchronous or continous direct service to service communication is what I meant.
I've also traveled in South America and relied on Uber heavily. I talked with a few drivers, and they all found Uber to actually be worth it. For example, Colombia's minimum wage when converted to 40hrs/wk/month comes out to ~$1.50/hr. It's not a bad gig there, and the cost of living is relatively low. The bigger problem is the danger of driving for Uber, as taxistas are not a fan of Uber drivers.
You must mean OLED. And no, there are almost no desktop OLED monitors in the wild.
A malicious firmware update that commands the prosthetic to punch you in the face on an infinite loop will still be a threat. Updates will likely be necessary for a while as the ML stuff gets tuned, though it's not impossible to get the other parts of the controlling software correct the first time and make those read-only.

Also I expect the medical device manufacturers will most likely join this market eventually and they have a less-than-stellar record of security with their devices. Some company is going to connect it to the internet and regulation will be too glacially slow to stop it.
At some point we need to start pointing the blame directly at Intel here. It’s becoming more and more obvious that this isn’t a problem where modern CPU architecture didn’t anticipate a security attack vector — but more that Intel took shortcuts with security infrastructure on the chip in order to improve their IPC count.
> Gopher isn't dead

Any definition of "dead" which permits "Gopher isn't dead" would also permit "UUCP isn't dead", or "HTTP/1.0 isn't dead", or "Token ring isn't dead". Technically true, practically false.
Um, Apple?
That's why they're called "Private".
Yes they are platform providers for user generated content, which competes against traditional news media, and they take their cut by placing advertisements.

I don't see why they shouldn't have a right to earn money or should be obligated to hire journalists. That's like saying social media shouldn't be allowed to compete with traditional news media.

Technological change is about disruption and this is just disruption. To oppose it is to oppose technological progress in order to protect incumbents' market shares.
As always, the solution would be to not attempt to support "Linux", but to pick one distribution (or a manageable set) to support officially.
