> Human driven traffic follows rules

This is wishful thinking and clearly false. If it were true, there wouldn't be any at-fault crashes. The only accurate claim you can make is "human traffic sometimes follows rules, and the rules that it sometimes follows change regularly from person to person and moment to moment". That's not a defensible state.

Implicit in your mistaken description is a pretense that humans are psychic and that we can predict what other people will do, but we aren't and, despite believing otherwise, we can't. That's why defensive driving is so important.

As it looked for a foreigner, reading almost exclusively mainstream media, when I happened to come by, not only were not pro-staying experts shunned, rather I was stunned for the outcome, because I never heard anything pro-leaving, or any expectation it would end this way.
Surely Brexit guys mean it not like Erdogan (i.e. jail time), but more like "if media don't serve as a feedback channel, both voters and elites could as well turn tvs off"?

It's very interesting to me, cause I observe experts in expertise everywhere in Russian media, and have been feeling lately, that they'll close themselves in no time, if they proceed that way, or turn into buzzfeeds.

I don't have an opinion about the compensation, some could argue that it is or it isn't excessive. My understanding is that the wealthier the company the less likely they are to change their bad practices when fined a small amount compared to their size.

It doesn't have to work like this. We could pay folks a proper wage, and let them also keep their tips. When I was a pizza delivery driver, I got paid an hourly wage that started at minimum wage and increased after certain periods of work experience. In addition I got a delivery fee per order delivered during a shift, and on top of that I got to keep all tips given to me by the customers. So in practice, I was probably making double minimum wage on a moderately busy night. I was aghast that the in-restaurant wait staff got paid a significantly smaller hourly rate and were expected to make it up in tips.
There is indeed. It's called Formal Logic, and the broad class of philosophers who have attempted that program you describe are usually referred to as "Analytic Philosophers".

They haven't made a ton of progress (I mean that as a statement of fact, not disrespect), and tend to tackle much more primitive, foundational problems than what the Continental philosophers like to deal in ("what is the meaning of everything" and all that).

Turns out it's a pretty hard problem to even pin down exactly what a word means, or what a name is, much less what the meaning of everything is. The trick is, those questions are the axioms. And so the act of asserting them is a philosophical act in and of themselves. The rest is just moving stones around.
If you mean your existence as a living creature, I believe that you are already as carbon neutral as a tree is.

You do know that there's a strong correlation between Apple's downward standards in how they physically manufacture their latest laptops and the quality (or lack of) of their latest OSes, don't you? I don't want to start an endless Apple-related flamewar but the links and discussions about this subject on this very website are countless.

Like I said, if you're not bothered anymore of doing basic quality testing for things like coolant hoses then how can I trust the same company with doing basic quality testing for their software?

> if they cannot properly verify a simple power cable I cannot trust them with properly verifying software.

Yes, one of the reasons why I told my boss that I don't want a 2,500 euros Apple laptop (I chose a Mini instead, they're more sturdy, less expensive and I gathered more difficult to fuck up) were articles like this one [1]. And yes, it does involve a cable fuck-up.

Great thing that Balaji cashed out nicely also before he left coinbase. It is great that we can see so clearly in action that stupidity is sometimes rewarded with nice paycheck.

People, keep being stupid and confident. Sometimes it pays tremendously off.
Restaurants give you an hourly wage that is less than minimum wage, and if that wage plus tips is still less than minimum wage, they're required to pay you the difference. If your hourly wage + tips is more than minimum wage, restaurants cannot reduce your hourly wage to compensate.

My understanding is that DoorDash was doing the opposite: giving you a guaranteed wage and then subtracting the tips from that. It's as if a restaurant were paying you an hourly wage without tips, and then accepting tips on your behalf.

If a customer had tipped 100% of the guaranteed pay, do you think the deliverer would have seen any of that tip? Or would it all have counted against the guaranteed pay?

Microsoft Releases Draft Data Sharing Agreements
'Disclosure' is something journalists use to point out a potential external conflict/relationship the reader might unaware of. But you don't need it to point out authorship either. You're really saying 'I want you to be aware I wrote the thing we are discussing' not 'Please don't think I'm sockpuppetting for myself'.

This is a bit like an even more persnickety version 'nation state' in that the trivial fix is just dropping the pointless ceremony.
You are, up until the point where it's cost a law enforcement officer time to determine that either the numbers are intended to waste their time or that the numbers are a hidden/unbackdoored encryption. Then you're GG SOL

Winning often comes at a cost and just merely having to defend oneself causes enough damage to be considered a form of punishment regardless of the lack of an official classification as one.

While it isn't nearly the same level as losing your job and being blacklisted, I also don't think it should be counted as the same as someone who does not have to go through a similar process.

There certainly are universities out there with proper CS courses teaching way more than Java and JS so your point is a bit moot. But that doesn't take away that I also have the impression that universities alone do not produce people capable of programming proficiently in anything at all especially not when it comes to programming complete programs of anything more than very small scale. They simply can't because that takes experience in writing actual software. Whether people get that before they even were in uni of after doesn't really matter it seems.

All anecdotal, but I've seen a bit too much people with CS degrees who were clever enough, had all the knowledge, could produce smart algorithms and everything you want. But the code would just work and that's that. Like: build process only works on their machine, git history like written by a child or non-existent, code impossible to integrate in other projects, trainwreck-like, violating anything you can think of and so on. Is that bad? Well, yeah, but it's also pretty normal and it's not always problematic: teach them some more in an actual team and the really good ones will be better than you in no time.
Well, let’s take one of the problem apps; Slack. It is slow because it eats a lot of memory and makes my computer slow. You are right that networking makes apps slow, but not to the point they feel slow now. If I have a background thread getting Slack messages and nothing came in, why is the entire thing slow as molasses? I know most apps/applications simply do 1-1 page to web api req and if the web api req is slow they give up (usually with some stupid message that they cannot connect / reconnect) but why would that be slow; you can do that blistering fast with win32. And yet my Slack is usually stuck and sluggish?

There is a lot of laziness going on: not such an easy relationship between slow web and frontend as you describe. Most apps can work fine with stale data for most uses; they just do not because then the developer has to think about it and that costs money/time and takes talent.
They don't necessarily. But historically, allowing ideas to spread like wildfire seems like it's been a lot more effective at reaching the truth than having the authorities decide what's true and only let true things spread.

I live in the UK, but I’m not from here. I have no idea what’s do you mean exactly by cognitive bias (and yes I know what they are). Yes I did expect a Rich first world democratic country like Japan to be probably better at managing nuclear reactors, the same way I expect to make very reliable cars, high end televisions and popular electronic gadgets. Compared to the autocratic Soviet Union, yes I did expect them to be better. They most likely were, but they were still incapable of preventing a meltdown, from what I’ve read mostly due to perception/political reasons (TEPCO didn’t want to frighten people by making massive sea walls or something of the sort).

Are you saying this is a cognitive bias? I think inferring a technologically superior country would be superior at managing technology is a reasonable conclusion. if you really think this is bias, why? Genuinely interested in your answer.

those are bullshit stats.

They compare overall crashes in all kind of normal highway environment and all kind of drivers and vehicles with the very selective places where the Tesla users decided to enable autopilot. Tesla users are also more educated and have better vehicles which has been shown to reduce the comparative crash rate by a lot.

We don't have data to compare but if I had to take a wild guess on crash rates I am pretty convinced that Tesla crashes more than the equivalent driver on the same stretch of highway as of today.

You cannot have freedom of speech without freedom of association. When it comes to deplatforming it does matter who's doing it, because there is a fundamental difference between a private entity (corporate or living person) and a government (only one has a monopoly on violence).

> It's the exact same way that it works for waiters.

Waiters don't pay the restaurant back if they go over minimum wage. So, no, it's emphatically not the same way it works.

And even if it were, "it's legal to screw people!" is not a reasonable nor humane response to "people are getting screwed!".

Almost certainly they switched contractors because of corruption.

Here in Montreal, it's well known that the mob runs the construction industry and quite frankly you're not allowed to even bid on contracts without their say so, otherwise you'll get visited for a very frank chat.

So I can't speak for why infrastructure is expensive elsewhere, but atleast here in Quebec (& likely RoC) it's simply because of corruption. See the recent woes of SNC Lavalin.
> Here’s how it works: If the woman in the bathrobe had tipped zero, DoorDash would have paid me the whole $6.85. Because she tipped $3, DoorDash kicked in only $3.85. She was saving DoorDash $3, not tipping me.

But that is tipping.

A waiter makes $7.25 an hour. If they receive $2 in tips, the business only has to pay them $5.25 for that hour instead. There is a lower limit (around $2, I forget the exact amount), and tipping over that limit goes to the employee, but any tips under that limit effectively go to the company.

Nonsense. Consciousness is a matter of information processing. We're just biological computers running a program. The so called hard problem of consciousness is really just folklore by now.
Neuroscience will eventually provide a complete explanation of consciousness. I'm frankly surprised we still think in magical terms about consciousness, in this time and age, knowing all we know about how the universe works, knowing how the brain works.

Pragmatic philosophers, such as Thomas Metzinger, have already accepted the failure of philosophy in this regard, and support the neuroscience approach.

I can refer you to Thomas Metzinger's book, "The Ego Tunnel: The Science of the Mind and the Myth of the Self". He went through great efforts to make it accessible to laypersons, such as myself. It's well worth the time.

Side note, I got to Thomas Metzinger from Peter Watts' Firefall. He says something along the lines "Metzinger is THE man" (will try to find the exact text and come back with an edit at some point).

My 34k salary does not cost my company 200k, I don't know what benefits you get but for me to cost my company that they'd have to feed me multiple times every day (worth pointing out here, most companies do not provide ANY food or drink outside of tap water) and give me a phone and a car and a bonus or four and I probably still wouldn't get close to costing them 100k. Most people don't make 100k, or anything close to it. The median HOUSEHOLD income in 2016 in the United States was $60,309. Again, household.

The median household income in my state (Indiana) was $54,181 in 2017.

It's my experience many people on HN generally have no clue what most of the country makes.

>The costs to this point (basic salary, employment taxes and benefits) are typically in the 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary range

Science hasn't found or even begin to find a way to talk about this.

It's not like a physicist looking at an amoeba. That's a very complicated physical system, but it seems obvious that each of the parts can be progressively broken down into the fundamental physical forces and particles.

Consciousness....we can't even begin to talk about that in a fundamental physical way. The operation of the brain? Sure. But as far as we know, you could have an otherwise identical brain/computer firing circuits, producing actions, etc
without consciousness. Which gets to the heart of the issue: we have no way to observe consciousness outside our own.

Your assumption that consciousness is only physical is merely that - another assumption. It proves nothing, and claiming otherwise begs the question.

The problem is that all scientific results around the consciousness question derive from what people report about their personal experience. There's no other known way to answer any questions about consciousness, and science hasn't discovered any way to answer questions about the immaterial.

Hence, from a scientific perspective, it's not a question for which an answer can be deduced from observation -- so questions about it are left to philosophical inquiry (reasoning inductively from first principles, instead of deductively from observation) or religion-based worldviews (which can be coherently accepted/rejected based on their correspondence to reality and internal consistency).
