Tesla Arcade hands-on: using a Model 3 steering wheel as a game controller
They are, but how do I know that as a tourist? I don't. That is why, on vacation, I prefer Uber et al.
It would probably in many places though. The reason cities like London are more "successful" these days despite being completely unsuitable for modern industries at face value is because they can handle the growth. Adding a couple a thousand people is a rounding error in big cities, but would be the entire liquid housing market in smaller ones. Maybe you are right, maybe people just aren't aware. But it doesn't seem like the most obvious explanation. People, including Britons, have been moving to Berlin for decades now in search of more affordable living.

Edit: I am being rate limited so I will respond here instead.

> Except for the lack of affordable housing?

Sort of. Affordable housing is more a problem of uneven distribution of opportunities than costs as such. If you are part of those who do get to take part in those opportunities this is less of a problem since you are effectively in the same situation as living in a richer country. Of course you also miss out on opportunities that would be enabled by affordable housing, and a lower cost of living. But since most more affordable location can't take advantage of that as their own cost of housing is usually relative to their local opportunities it becomes a game of who is the biggest which large companies in large cities win.
I will continue to smugly assert that backup must include an offline component. Given that total data loss is a non-zero possibility (and, increasingly, more and more likely) the argument that having even a simple offline component (say, some encrypted USB disks for a small business, tape or such for a larger business) is too expensive or cumbersome doesn't make sense to me.
You are just attaching prestige to some variants of the language over others. It just so happens that variants of English spoken by professional classes in the SE of England or NE USA are more prestigious (at least for some) than variants of English in a pub in Liverpool or Glasgow, but those other variants are not "wrong" and don't have "appalling pronunciation", they just have different pronunciation.

If there was a revolution and the residents of liverpool became the new ruling classes then pretty quickly that would be the "correct" variant and the queen's English would be the "appalling pronunciation".

The release was supposed to be today. Few hours ago was changed to 2 more days.
The death of the protocol.

People no longer release protocols, they release products. The open net, the open web has truly died.

I wonder sometimes what we're missing because the conditions that let the web grow out of the internet have disappeared. What next leap are we missing?
>Reading the messages is mildly fun. They range from amateur attempts to contribute to the game story (on june 12th, there were 5 of us...) to corny aphorisms ("i didn't I hurt her"), to hilarious attempts to derail game understanding ("physics affects THE DRONES") ("don't trust your boat").

It’s quite formal and ritualised in a language whose premier cultural exporter has been quite outwardly egalitarian since at least WWII.

It’s just old fashioned. If you’re on this forum you’ve read enough English you’re unlikely to mess up but

How are you?

Great thanks. You?

Fine, fine.

It’s scripted insofar as no one cares how the other person actually is and answering I anything other than a positive fashion would be a faux pas but everything after “How are you?” is fluid. You can also go even less formal, e.g. “How’s it going?”
The V compiler is the program that builds source in V. It has zero dependencies, and that's the claim.

The modules can have gigabytes of dependencies, this doesn't make the compiler depend on them.
They love pangolins now.
Absolutely horrible. An adult male from Indiana via Snapchat ‘convinces’ a teen and her friends to murder her learning-disabled friend. He then had the murderer sexually assault children and also document via Snapchat.

Case of a CYA? (cover your ass, plausible deniability) Ie, "no no, of course, we are responsible and look very, _very_ seriously on the environment, like, so serious."
The founders of the field left no doubt that their goal was, indeed, human-like intelligence, so the position you are stating here was the original goalpost-shifting.

There is nothing wrong with those original ambitions, and it is to nobody's discredit that progress has been slower than originally hoped (the same could be said in many other fields, from space travel to curing cancer.)

One can certainly find people (though not usually here) who insist that everything achieved so far is "just database lookup" or "just a machine doing what a person programmed it to do", and who leave little doubt that they would continue to do so regardless of what had been achieved. There are also philosophers who make more sophisticated versions of the same argument, such as by imagining p-zombies, which are unfalsifiably merely faking intelligence. Such people want to take the goalposts off the field, but the rest of us should be able to discuss what has been achieved, and what remains undone, without being distracted by arguments over the precise semantics of the phrase "artificial intelligence."
It’s not so much a fetish for home ownership as a reflection of bad incentives. Renters have few rights and embarrassingly owning a home is often actually cheaper even in ridiculously valuable areas.
- you find yourself actually doing your job and not theirs

- every day you have a clear idea of what you need to do and deliver

- You are busy. Not drowning in work and not twisting your fingers with nothing to do.

- they clear roadblocks that you encounter (reaching out to senior people in org when needed, providing steering on difficult issues...)

- You can talk to them about career development, training, moving to other teams, etc, without fear that the talk will become confrontational

- They encourage you to move up or sideways (or out) when they think you are ready or it would benefit your career, or be a better fit for you

- They provide feedback on what you are doing well and less well, on a regular / continuous way, not once a year

- They are transparent in their agenda (but they do not have to share everything with you)

- Pushes you out of your comfort zone, while watching out to manage risks

- They trust you : they don't micromanage
This basically amounts to advising them not to live in a city (which is fine). But some people do like living in cities, and London is really the only option in the UK if you want to do that. No other city in the UK is anywhere close to London in terms of culture and economic opportunity.

Yes, rents in Manchester and Birmingham are lower. But you're going to get paid less, you have to live in a second tier city, and in the long run you have fewer career opportunities.
You might laugh, but this is a fairly standard statement you will hear a quantum information scientist say. While we are interested in the technological applications of quantum devices, we are more interested in using these information processing tasks to challenge and understand the physical laws of the universe.

In other words, in the statement "If the adversary is the one who sold you your diode, he might have entangled it in some way with the devices in his own lab", the adversary is actually the physical laws of the universe, and we are testing what those laws allow as far as generating randomness goes.
I don't understand the purpose of the test result.

So basically I know 83% of the English words... that were asked in this test. If next year 1000 new words are introduced to the dictionary, that doesn't automatically mean I know 830 of them. In other words the minimum size of my vocabulary is 83 words. Nothing more. Nothing less.
This is why you don't give the business unreliable metrics.

Whoever came up with this requirement at capital one had the sense that email surveillance was capable of delivering meaningful read metrics. Who let that happen?

You may understand the implementation makes the metric comically unreliable, especially for email with so many clients that block images by default. But when is the last time you quantified the margin of error in all the metrics reporting? Never? Great rigor you've got going there, data science. Even if you do clarify how poor the signal is, how long until someone copy-pastes it into Excel, removes that context and shows the graph to someone with more decision making power? And that's the best case scenario. People are, in general, way more statistically illiterate than you suspect. Remember how many people saw Hillary had 85% on fivethirtyeight, and were convinced that it meant she would win?

I've had arguments with Amazon employees that: no, they do not know how many people open their emails. Trying to explain what they have is a lower bound that is closer to "how many emails are read in gmail on an iphone" than "how many emails are read"? Nope. The UI says "unread," therefore it is impossible that the user read the email.

Stop implementing bullshit metrics in your software.
Completely agree. In Kyoto, where I live, taxis are everywhere and cheap. That’s true even though I’m picky and try to use an MK cab whenever possible (top class of service, IMO).

Cab drivers in Japan usually take pride in their work. It’s not uncommon to see one waiting outside a home and scrambling to meet the passengers at their front door with an open umbrella.

Having said that, in Kyoto, more than anywhere else, a lot of the drivers are crabby I’ve noticed. I think they get tired of dealing with rude tourists day after day.
It can. Lot of commodities today is highly non-trivial.
> It is about dependencies required by the V compiler.

" and will always block ads no matter what."

I don't mind smaller ads. Metafiler for example. But most websites are unusable without an adblocker.

Strangely I remember that when printed Newspapers were still big, the advertisement was one of the valuable parts of them.
Tech speaking it’s nVidia’s GeForce driver that restricts datacenter usage not the card itself.

Not deep dived into it but maybe using nouveau instead of GeForce works around that restriction.

You are allowed to use the driver in data centres for cryptocurrency usage. The EULA limited datacenter usage hasn’t really been challenged in court yet. Both sides would have an argument. NVidia are using the Eula to limit an activity that a user would be allowed to do if the location that activity was different (and not even talking type of industry here, though that’s prob in the Eula too) On the other hand, it’s nVidia’s software, they are free to license it how they like.
Too bad. Perhaps there is an opportunity cost argument for a better alternative.
The title of the article is literally: "A Growing Problem in Real Estate: Too Many Too Big Houses."

Since mcmansions are large (as you said), I think they are relevant to the discussion.
I'd hardly call it a drama. Claims like it's not possible to build features without AST or codegen json decoders are just ridiculous.
For equivalent hardware & case materials, not much. But it'll cost more to make in the US.
I've been debating this for years. Partly because it sounds like a fun life, partly because the only way I'm getting affordable housing in London is if it's floating in the Thames.

They don't need the cash but want to make it easier for stockholders to sell. Now also seems to be the time for tech IPO.
I've seen tons of people riding the CitiBikes in NYC. They seem fairly popular.
I don't know anything about cars, but I'm pretty sure most taxis in Tokyo are the smaller variant, the Toyota Comfort. I'd describe them as comparable to most taxis (maybe cleaner than average + the automatic doors)

I'm gonna call bollocks on that :)

I agree with the rest to an extent. You're going to be paid higher (well not everybody, but most HN readers would be) and have all the other advantages of London. Fine. But you need to take the downsides with that and stop moaning.

When I was emigrating to the UK I considered everywhere. London was one of the first places I crossed off my list.

> Isn't the average Japanese taxi some big Toyota Crown sedan already? How much more premium than that can you go?

Toyota Century :)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/japans-new-emperor-picks-his-ri...

Edit: Super short TL;DR from the article

> Introduced in 1967, the Century isn’t for the flashy or hasty. Prospective customers can wait months because Toyota hand-builds each one. Background checks ensure the buyer is of an appropriate caliber, and not a member of an “antisocial organization”—a Japanese euphemism for the yakuza crime syndicates.

It's only sold in Japan.

Debit cards and mobile payments are not low cost in many places. They may seem to be no cost to consumers, but the costs are added in every product or service that's being sold because every player and "middleperson" in the payment chain takes a fat enough cut. This affects the poorer people disproportionately, and they end up subsidizing the costlier digital payment modes used by the relatively richer people.
Yep.

I'll address all their claims and lies in a blog post after the open source release on June 22.

Interesting, it is true that a simple text box is the easiest, fastest input method making it the most likely to use when in a rush/taking quick notes. I would have gone for something like workflowy (https://workflowy.com/) or dynalist (https://dynalist.io/) but having a single tool for both IM and note taking beats it. You could always have a bot that puts your slack content in those anyway. I shall take inspiration from this.
Which is to say that Apple, too, is VERY skeptical. :-)
Browser development is non-trivial, but browsers themselves are a commodity. There is no money in browser itself as an app, or at the very least not enough to support development.
I wonder what you will say on June 22. Delete everything?
What are some good magic retention strategies for people that feel this way? Personally I rotate through an ever growing bunch of topics of interest and find that some insight on one topic can open up the potential for magic in some other topic. I think the fascination some people have with things they don't understand is a natural incentive for seeking more knowledge.

I'm writing my representatives about Libra, and I would urge others to do the same. I think that it's an incredibly bad idea, even if you take Facebook out of the picture. A supra-national currency controlled by a consortium of private companies? Hell no, no matter what "safeties" you build into the governing association.

Privately-issued currencies are a thing, but they tend to be localized, making Libra qualitatively different. And Libra is in no way comparable to payment processors, because those companies don't control the underlying value of the scrip.

The USG is by no means perfect, but I'd rather stick with the Fed than give the Libra association control over the world's currencies.

Edit: Imagine how incongruous the phrase "consumers can vote with their wallets" becomes when their wallets are owned by private companies.
>But you need to take the downsides with that and stop moaning.

This is the whole problem with the UK. Many of the current problems with London are fixable. People need to keep moaning about them in order to get them fixed.
Invest in people and that problem goes away.
This is the same approach that the language Jai (which Jonathan Blow is developing) is using: Fast-to-compile debug builds via hand-written x64 compiler, heavily optimized release builds via LLVM. This is why he was able to have ridiculously high-speed debug builds, and I think V is probably the same right now.

I think J. Blow commented in one of his videos that he might be able to put some optimization on the x64 compiler (such as dataflow optimization) when the language is mostly complete. Although builds will be slower because of this, I still trust Blow that he will make a faster compiler than GCC/Clang, because the compiler will be specialized to its language rather than being all-purpose. (Also, C++ takes ridiculously lot to just parse everything, while Jai is must simpler to parse). Maybe V's developer will also work on some optimizations after the basic compiler's finished.
Places You Should Absolutely Visit While You Are in Mozambique
My 12 years exp. being manager:

- You're the CEO of the product. You drive the vision.

- You know your product from 0 to 100%. You know everything.

- If anyone wants something or know about one problem, you should be the first one to know this. Never go to team members.

- You should be able to identify problems, the source, before declaring it as "a problem to solve" for your team. AKA "false positives", "that's not a bug, that's the behavior", etc. Be the shield for this shit.

- People will use all kind of trickery to force you to do things for them. Learn how to say no. Learn how to prioritize. Remember you have your own interests to cover for your product.

- Always tell what you want to achieve, what is needed, how much time it will take and what will be the deliverable. The more defined the answers, the best for both team and you will be.

- You're the one taking the last decision. Everyone must acknowledge this.

- You should listen people, and rely on their expertise. They will tell you how to do something, but don't let them to change your high level achievement.

- Tell the people what you want to achieve.

- Call on people when they did stuff out of the planning. AKA: "I've been doing this nice animation, now the product looks nice", etc.

- Always talk individually, short meetings, instead big team meetings. Consensus always drive bad products.

- Nothing goes production without your approval.

- Enforce criteria acceptance: all features must be done according to the plan, not what the developers wanted to implement.

- Kick out toxic people from your team. The earlier, the better.

- Never let people insult you.

- If you happen to make a mistake, be the first one acknowledging this. Never try to justify incompetence. Always try to solve that to avoid new cases in the future.

- Try to help team members who aren't motivated. Talk to them. They're confused with their role in the project, usually.
I'll admit I haven't been on IRC in 20 years, but while I remember fiddling with active/passive FTP settings and port forwarding every week at the very least, I do not remember any times where I had similar issues on IRC (using mIRC and later various Linux IRC clients, mostly Xchat and BitchX) in the 1890's. I don't know how it would have worked though, thinking about it.

I.e., they have the same quality but different quantity, and German does distinguish vowels by length, so they are different sounds in the sense that two words that otherwise sound the same can be distinguished by vowel length. "Ratten" and "raten", for a relavent example, are not homophones and nor are "Massen" and "Maßen" (German learners might be frustrated to learn that in fact these two are opposites in some contexts).
