Seriously, please automate highway driving first. You get all the benefits for shipping and efficiency and logistics, so the money is there. The problem is so much more simple, and there can be convergent infrastructure (embedded sensors, mesh network updates, higher standards of road quality).

On long trips on highways it just kills me that I have to stare at the same image for hours basically, and that a program couldn't do that more safely than me.

And if this happens, the airlines and all their fees and cramping and security and bad customer service can be brutally competed against for any trip under 800 miles, and probably longer.

Even a one hour 500 mile trip in a plane is really 3-4 hours, and you don't get a car at your destination, while driving there is about 5-6 hours. If I could surf that whole time or nap, then I'll drive.

If I can sleep overnight, then 8-10 hour drives become far preferable to flying.

If I have friends along the way to visit, or interesting places to vacation in, two or three day trips are more preferable than 1500-2000 mile flights, especially if you have a family and it is way way way cheaper.

Airlines have been reorienting themselves to shorter hops over the last couple decades. Self driving on highways will decimate that business, and only long haul/overseas will remain.

That's simply not true. With intense enough exercise, a diet that would cause obesity among ordinary people will leave you extremely underweight with not enough energy to get through the day. If you look at athletes such as competitive swimmers and cyclists, you can find diets of 8,000 calories a day and more. Individuals such as Antarctica explorer had to consume massive amounts of butter, sugar, chocolate and animal fat to get through the day due to the intense amount of physical activity.

Of course, it is much easier and practical to eat fewer and healthier foods rather than exercise to such extreme amounts.

I see a lot of comments here about how we should hack these things. I think that's good. The medical field does need hackers and makers.

BUT I find a very disturbing thing being glossed over. The son can't consent to this experimentation.

That's where I draw the line. You can hack away on your own devices all day. You know the risks involved, or at least are aware that some do (it's hard to know all the risks with anything medical). But hacking away on a minor's device isn't just risky, it is unethical. There's a reason this type of thing is hard to get passed a experimentation review board. I know the parent can consent for the child but there are limits to this (like that a parent can be considered endangering their child if they don't vaccinate). I know there is likely low risk in this type of hacking, but unless the upside makes a substantial quality of life difference (I don't know what it's like to live with type 1), it is concerning that you would risk a child's health. When it comes to health I think there's a good reason to be conservative.

Once an adult (I'd even find that fine with a 16 year old) I think the equation changes. Hacking away is good, but we also need ethics.
We've also seen dramatic changes in the amount of defects found after migrating most of an app to TypeScript in strict mode.
Metformin prevents the production of sugar from fats in the liver. (Gluconeogenesis GNG) My partner noticed was that, if he fasts while on Metformin, blood sugar levels got seriously low. Around 40 mg/dL. I guess GNG keeps blood sugar levels high enough to prevent issues while ketones take over the energy economy.

So if you are fasting for more than a couple days you may want to skip that metformin dose.
I think most of the fixed costs are fairly static, so if they can make a profit, it will be fairly predictable.

The video does mention some R&D, so they're not entirely resting on their laurels, but film is probably at the end of its evolutionary road. I would think it hard to find any new break throughs.

Also, a lot of the folks featured seemed to be older ("we have lots of experience"), so I hope that they have some foresight in knowledge transfer and young/er workers.
I don't know exactly, but to buy a domain and operate a website in China you need to get an Internet Content Provider license, and a foreign company cannot acquire it.

Be careful about what you dislike (2016)
Does this at all depend on the type of show? I find when watching programming with a lot of ambiguity (mysteries, procedurals, etc) my brain is very active trying to anticipate or think back to connect dots to follow what's happening. Compare that to spectacle programming like sports/drama/reality shows where everything is happening onscreen.

I wonder also about foreign shows where you are forced to read while the action is in progress.

And then combine that: I can watch reality shows with my wife and feel no real change in energy, but then we watch something like "Dark" (subtitled and very mystery-box format) and I feel exhausted by the end of the episode.
i hope so! i've seen a lot of recent announcements related to saved passwords. but so far none of them have been about the UX.
Food stamps, to foster good health, must exclude unhealthy items. I have seen people buying potato chips and sugary soda drinks in exchange for food stamps at convenience stores in Brooklyn. How is this practice even okay? If we want healthy population then food stamps must fruits and vegetables but must exclude soda and chips.

I find this often happens with any decision by consensus type of things.

Everyone has a concern or an area they take over. There's a reason most power structures end up with a single person being the decision maker. For better or worse, it seems there needs to be one person who is responsible for busting everyone's chops and asking the hard questions.

I've seen this psychology play out even in small non-profits where everyone has good intentions.

Waymo has now driven 10B autonomous miles in simulation
Hey, guys, let's check ourselves right in this thread.

Do we really have just one female participant in the discussion?
Paying for ACCESS makes sense. It costs the ISP to have the availability to connect you up.

Paying for USAGE is disgusting. The way a network works, is that besides upkeep which is a small percentage of TCO, upfront cost scales with total bandwidth, not total number of packets one needs to move across a set of links.

Meaning if the ISP buys enough network equipment for 100 users to each have 10mbps of available bandwidth, they no longer have costs besides upkeep (maintenance, support, and replacing broken hardware). This is a SMALL percentage of upfront buildout costs. This large lump sum in the beginning has the potential to deliver the same amount of bandwidth ad infinitum.

Charging users for USAGE is DISGUSTING and is literally not fair.

Price gouging.

Plain and simple.
> The customer pays for their connection, say 10mbps over Verizon's network.

That's typically not what happens with commercial ISPs. You pay for access to some parts of the Internet with asymmetrical speeds (often 20Mbit to 1) and most times without even a publicly routable IP address ("for your security").

Even if you pay that commercial ISP for higher speeds, you can read in the contract that they're actually not guaranteed and that anyway people exceeding "reasonable limits" (usually not defined with actual numbers) will have access shut off.

So sure you can do that on a non-profit and/or professional ISP because those will be explicit in what service is brought to you for what prices (without surprises) and they will usually stay out of your way when it comes to how you use the network (public IP, no port blocking, no priority for Youtube traffic over important mail, etc).

So if you find this situation as revolting as i do, welcome to the fight against the telecoms industry! We can do better, cheaper, and more intimate Internet.
Ask your existing user base
You’re assuming that everyone has access to lentils, which is an incorrect assumption.

Many live several miles away from stores that sell produce and dry grains/legumes and aren’t able to purchase this kind of food on a regular basis, opting instead for canned goods or fast food.
I installed it today, following that comment, and 20 minutes later... my pocket was burning :D. I spent the next half an hour trying to reboot it and remove the launcher since it was really slow (and hot). Just before leaving work of course and when I wanted to listen to a podcast. Oh, well. Don't try out new things at 4 o'clock when you need them at 5 :D.
The article doesn't attribute anything to anything, even its recommendations make no sense, like planting legumes instead of soybeans... That's terrible reporting, possibly worse than useless.

That said, the first law of thermodynamics continues to apply: calories in - calories out == weight gained. The real question is, what makes people overeat to an unhealthy extent? The feedback through leptin should stabilize your weight at slightly above normal by suppressing appetite, but somehow it doesn't seem to work? (Or not anymore?) Why is that?

Lofty talk about unspecified "nutrients" doesn't help anyone. (I think it's probably fructose, especially when not accompanied by fiber. But I don't know enough detail to convince anyone.)
Not just America, Africa has the same problem of poor people filling up with cheap carbohydrates and sugar. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, aka Metabolic syndrome
Fellow (former) geologist here.

The most common options are:

-Resources (oil/mining). It’s a surprisingly diverse field within this realm

-Academia/research. Also very diverse

-Disaster modeling/prediction/studies like earthquakes and flooding

-Some engineering (ie geological surveys for real estate/infrastructure development)

-Space-related like satellite imaging/remote sensing. Or becoming an astronaut
But do you get that feeling faster eating a steak than bread or cookies, in terms of total calories consumed?
The sentence you skipped in your quote seems particularly relevant to the question you're asking: "Why should their kids be in class with a child who had serious behavioral problems, because, for example, he lived in a homeless shelter, or because he had seen violence in his home?"

So if the same conditions arise (i.e. classmates with serious behavioural problems), race aside, it's absolutely possible that this can be applied to any students.
Android connects to the phone network using a different type of connection (DUN) to send tethered data.

The code to do that is in android here:

https://github.com/aosp-mirror/platform_frameworks_base/blob...

There is a setting you can set to disable it and make the provider treat all traffic as if it is non-tethered.

adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Considering how knowledgeable the HN crowd is on all things networking, it surprises me to see so much uncertainty on something so easy to check in the code!
This is a weird hill to want to die on. Self-driving is currently statistically safer than human driving. Yes, caveats, for only the domains on which self-driving has been well-trained.

My point was that the statistics aren't even remotely comparable. Out of literally billions of miles driven daily across the US in all conditions, there are approximately 100 deaths nationwide. Each day, US drivers drive literally tens of thousands times more miles than all self-driving cars combined to date. There are at least 6 deaths attributable to SD cars so far...in the US, not including smaller accidents, despite driving only in optimal conditions. Scaled up per mile, self-driving cars are currently several magnitudes more dangerous than human cars.
Ah, now I get you. Took me a while.
You're viewing things in black and white terms. Food deserts are a problem, but they aren't the totality of the problem.

Lots of junk food is sold in places with ample access to food. Advertising is part of it.
I've often wondered that if you give someone a calorifically rich but nutritionally poor food stuff, will the body eat to excess to try and make up for the nutritional deficit?

But no real world grocery chain has anything near a monopoly. The whole point of antitrust law is that businesses in dominant positions have additional limits to what they can do.

Raspberry Pi 4 most definitely do need fan. I'm not sure why this is not being made more clear.

The default case for it also doesn't help dissipate the extra heat either :-(

I've ordered mine fans from pimoroni.com. I hope it addresses the issue.
> I irresponsibly put a nearly full 400GB microSD card in my pocket and somehow lost the dang thing while fishing out change to tip my cab driver.

Misery loves company. This has happened more times than people will want to admit.

If only [DSLR] cameras supported encrypted memory cards. [Edit: With smartphone cameras improving so rapidly, perhaps this will become a moot point.]
My Google annoyance is that they don't build call recording into the phone. I know they probably do it to avoid their customers getting into trouble using it where they shouldn't but there are lots of illegal things I can do with my phone that they don't try to police.
The Pi 4 is much more powerful than an N64. So much so, it can emulate it in software.
There are levels above food and shelter. Having a car is a real need and it solves a problem for lots of people. However having a self-driving car may solves some people's problem but that don't seem to big part of human population. I think that makes the development of self-driving cars slower.
- a broadcast radio signal and microphones can detect sirens. That seems easy.

- that's just flow analysis and basic perceptions of the environment. At a minimum, just tell the driver to take over.

- highways will benefit from convergent infrastructure, and alerts like this will be part and parcel of highway driving automation. Flying does this already, basically.

- sensors have 360 degree vision, and mesh networking between cars would help solve this, and automatically call towing/traffic control emergency vehicles to help with disabled cars

I don't worry about any of those situations, those can be readily incorporated into certification and testing of the algorithms/systems.
The analogy doesn't work either.

You get a Netflix family plan if you want four people to simultaneously and independently connect to Netflix, each consuming their own stream. You don't need a family plan if you plug Netflix to your TV and invite three other people to watch a movie together with you.

Tethering is like the latter case. Your phone is still a single device consuming a single Internet connection. The concept of "multiple streams of internet data" you used exists only because phone companies violate net neutrality, refusing to become dumb data pipes they should be.
This is very interesting. Is there anyone on HN with the knowledge/experience to assess their claims and how feasible their plan is?
The reason why, is because people believe the human brain is just an incredibly complex state machine. If it is, then it should be reproducible.

>fMRI, which is what I first associate when somebody says "MRI" and "brain".

That's an odd first-association. fMRI is not used much outside the brain, but neuroimaging relies on structural contrasts (i.e. "normal" MRI) and diffusion imaging (a proxy for looking at axonal connectivity) just as much as on functional ones.
There are two ways to look at this.

One way is to say that uberized businesses are all like this: they remove costs from the sticker price and externalize them. It's the ryanair model as applied to other things. Removing insurance and offloading the costs of not having insurance onto the users, removing proper benefits for staff and externalizing the costs from that onto society, removing quality of service items and requiring users to make up the difference (like doing your own housekeeping in an airbnb, or uber drivers having to provide their own vehicles).

The other way of looking at it is these services providing a middle ground. People may not wish the "full option" service, and are prepared to pay less to get less. Someone who wants the full service can still get it, there are now just more options.
I don't necessarily understand it, but for my Samsung note 8, I used a settings/flag editor and added 'DUN' to my LTE settings and was able to turn on Tethering, whereas normally, it would turn itself off after enabling "mobile hotspot".
An open-source big data platform designed and optimized for IoT
No one serious uses https as the authentication for raw packages - google, Apple, and Microsoft all sign updates/software/whatever with separate keys.

They also aggressively pin those connections.

However because they’re serving over https a mitm can only DoS the update system: they can’t change the update or dependency lists, they can’t insert malicious content into those responses, they can’t add cookies to the requests and responses.

Privacy can also be fixed if you simply pull multiple resources over the same connection (which is also faster)

Just use https.
Seconded, this would be a killer feature.
I disagree that they'd work the same way because Google has invested millions of person-hours into a proprietary algorithm that they share with no one.

DDG and Bing often have wildly differing results for me.
> you don’t know, despite living here since forever

A lot of tourists here in Memphis come to see Elvis Presley's house (Graceland), but many local residents have never been there, despite having some degree of connection to him. I met a couple from England on the street a few years back. They were eager to hear some stories about relatives and coworkers who met Elvis, but when asked about Graceland, I had to say 'Nope never been there'....
Thanks. A charitable reading is appreciated.

I had forgotten about her promise to relinquish.
regarding your remark about this perhaps having something to do with the bay area, the bay area brings some of the most experienced and skillful if not smartest people in the industry (from all over the world), i dont doubt that this plays a factor. that's not to say that experienced/smart/skillful people are purposely rude, i think it has a little to do with ego, showing yourself up during meetings, but sometimes it's just passionate people going off on rants.

i can totally understand your frustrations and this seems to be affecting you personally, but i think you should do some root cause analysis before you jump to conclusions, jumping to conclusions also burns a lot of mental energy. instead, just go have a conversation in private about what you think, not about being interrupted, but about your technical ideas, if he/she's really an asshole and just wants to drown you out, you should be able to tell from a private conversation, my guess is that the person gains more respect for you. if you have trouble articulating your thoughts in real time, write it down, send an email. dont guess what's at play here, find out the truth. if the people suck, switch environments, there are plenty of great companies out there.
This is a problem all over data processing ... once metadata becomes separate from the data over time it can become hard or impossible to correct later.

I always push for detailed metadata, preferably in the same location/artifact. I'm regularly surprised by people who don't understand why it's important and just think "it's too much hassle".
I think it's really allistic people who are less capable of consent. They have a strong tendency to choose their beliefs and actions based on herd instincts rather than rational evidence, while autistic people, despite our numerous problems, have a much easier time considering evidence rationally.

It was just yesterday that an (adult!) allistic friend of mine was posting on Facebook looking for advice on treating her kidney infection without antibiotics. Her irrational allistic friends were giving her all kinds of ridiculously terrible medical advice (“Alka-Seltzer cleared up my UTI”), and I looked up the clinical practice guidelines and yelled at her to GET ANTIBIOTICS.
The whole point of democracy is to be ruled by the people. Calling for those who dissent to be cudgeled with serious crimes is essentially a threat
Part of the nominal democracy to dictatorship transition involves restricting dissent through abuse of power - like aggressive libel laws to jail those who state inconvenient truths.

That sort of "step toward usurpation" is far more worthy of the label even if it doesn't fit the deliberately narrow formal legal definition.

Compared to exercising their right of who to work for and dealing with perfectly legal partners?
Agree that it's far off but saying never seems a bit pessimistic. Maybe more like never using the approach waymo is taking...

many women actors ("actresses"?! 1995 called) and models are indeed sex workers. The term "sex worker" is in fact a term of art engineered in part specifically to capture this reality. I encourage you to read up about sex worker activism and third wave feminism more generally.
Honestly, hunger and satiety have a surprisingly large physiological component so is I think its some sort of psychosomatic thing based on current trends.

Me? I get full on food, including carbs.

Sometimes on a weekend day for a treat I go to a cafe in the morning. When I'm there I eat a donut and a bagel and that will be the only thing I eat in the whole day, I feel full after eating it and I am plenty satiated for the rest of the day even though "broscience" tells me I should be starving again a half hour later.
At least with android, i can install an app outside of the app store like foxfi [0] that will allow me to tether it. IOS also blocks users from tethering if their carrier doesn't allow it and you cannot get around that without jailbreaking. This is one of my favorite things about switching to android.

I went with a small heatsink for my Pi 3’s.
Despite the fact that doesn't add up, it depends what you are doing whether you need all that. I've had great value from my £34 Pi 4 since I don't need HDMI cables, cases or fans. I did also already have the other stuff too but I take your point there's no avoiding an SD card (yet).
