> If Waymo or Cruise who whomever has self driving taxis in 2020 deployed in temperate cities, and Tesla doesn't have L4 autonomy until 2024, at which point it also works in a blizzard, it doesn't matter if they're cheaper and more effective them. Tesla will have already lost.

If those self-driving taxis are not available for retail purchase and cost their operators over 6-figure sums to add to their fleet - and Tesla have it working in their promised $35k Model 3, then Tesla will win in the long-term.

Also, remember the car industry moves very, very slowly (no pun intended). The Model 3 has been out for over a year now and has barely captured a fraction of its possible market.

Consider that people will buy/lease a car for individual use for 3-5 years before replacing it: someone buys a normal car in 2021 because they need one at the time, but will still buy Tesla’s FSD car when it comes out.

The “autonomous taxis will replace individual car ownership” trope only applies to hyper-urbanised environments where parking-spaces are luxury lifestyle accessories - and where people are already well-services by public-transit infrastructure.

Finally: people who try an autonomous (but unaffordable for exclusive individual use) taxi service in 2020 might be so impressed with the experience that they vow to buy the first available individually purchasable autonomous car - even if that happens until Tesla’s 2024 models come out - Tesla still wins.

By analogy, consider that Tesla is probably the /hottest/ car brand in the world today - and they did it without any traditional advertising - and they got started over 10 years ago. Enough people influenced by reviews and YouTube videos of the Roadster and 2012 Model S translated that into real money being spent on Model 3 buys today. That’s an anticipation gap of at least to 7 years - that’s impressive. Can you imagine people waiting 7 years for an “affordable” version of a luxury product? Why weren’t any of the other manufacturers doing anything to meet this clear demand for physically attractive EVs with over-hyped autonomous capabilities?

(Disclaimer: I own a Tesla Model X)

> I wash my hands on average 2 * 12 times a day, every day.

I simply don't believe you.

That would imply that you spend almost an hour per day washing your hands if you are following proper hand hygiene.

With twin infants and a toddler, I'm pretty sure you simply don't have that kind of time in a day.
This is a very old website (still no TLS). I remember reading it first time in the end of the 90s. Even though the older anecdotes are more difficult to relate to these days, I'm glad it survived. It made my day (and lightened up my mood) during periods of depression.

No, if part of the community engages in criminal activity and said criminal activity is discussed and encouraged in said community, then the public has an incentive to do something about it.

Maybe the terrorist also had a membership in the local gym, but as long as they don’t discuss shooting people at that gym the other gym members will not have to fear a shutdown by the public.

The problem is not that a terrorist is member of some group, but that the group is complicit in the actions that follow the communicagions within it, just like I would be complicit as an individual if I convinced my neighbour to hang himself.

If there is a direct legal link would remain to be seen in both cases, but arguing that the culpit’s actions are completely unrelated to the communications about said actions within a group is a bold claim that needs evidence to be backed up (which you certainly seem to have).

Edit: I know that there are parts of the 8chan community which are completely unrelated to that incident and these will see their plattform changed by the fallout of the actions of the few. That is how it is. If you don’t want your plattform to get that kind of press, make sure it is not used by terrorists to plan their actions.

> Inherently it’s no less ethical for us to eat them than it is for them to eat fish

Ignoring the farming and catching practices used to get most octopuses from the sea to the plate, which most certainly are unethical since they are unnecessary and cruel, and only look at "eating another being", I still think you are missing the point that octopuses has to eat the fish to survive since they are mostly carnivore's and don't have modern farming practices and supermarkets available, whereas we are omnivores and have those things available where we can get all the things we need from non-animal products.

I say that makes a big difference between us and octopuses eating fish, not to mention the fact that as far as we know, octopuses are not capable of understanding ethics like us, which also makes a big difference (if it were unethical for the octopus to eat fish, which it isn't since it needs it to survive). Just like we don't blame a human baby for unethical behaviour, but still hold ourself up to ethical scrutiny.
I get the point, but I don't think the analogy holds. Dropbox is a consumer product, so of course convenience counts for a lot. But using Dropbox on your personal computer doesn't expose anyone (except maybe yourself) to being tracked by advertising and social media companies when they don't want to be.

This is maybe just me, but I believe that as engineers, we have a duty to consider ethical ramifactions of the things we are building. Saying "I'm going to do the easy solution, and I don't care about what kind of tracking I'm exposing my users to" shouldn't be acceptible behaviour any more.
Too bad it is Java. What about using proper, native compiled language? Like Rust, or OCaml.
As I said, the Chinese actively censor what they consider harmful content. I don't agree with them on that, but that's their position. If you abide by their laws (that is: censor what they want censored and give them access to user data, I guess), you can operate. The UK blocks The Pirate Bay and various other file sharing sites because they figure those sites don't comply with UK laws. As soon as TPB disables the sharing of copyrighted content and appeals, they'd be unblocked, because it's not a blanket ban.

The fact that Google has offices in China, offers services in China and runs conferences in China should show that they aren't blocked as a company. Dragonfly wasn't shut down by China, but by Google after they faced internal push back by employees against supporting Chinese censorship.
I wonder about the "you are now free to delete the certificate". Not everyone will do this if they aren't tech savvy enough, or don't care. This will mean 2 things 1. Those that don't may still be able to have their traffic intercepted 2. Those that do reject the signing (if the attempt is made) may find themselves the subject to further investigation.

To be fair, they picked what they felt was the best option available to them considering their requirements and based on their experience. It would be weird if anyone claimed that they were using bad tech while acknowledging their competitors are doing things right.
That would be great! If you need any help or support, please let us know :)
> The nursing shortage could be solved by hiring more.

At least in Germany, there are massive amounts of open job postings for nursing and other care staff. The problem is that the wages are way too low, as the county/city-owned clinics have to adhere to the budget rule of maximum efficiency and minimum taxpayer subsidies (which led to massive outsourcing and other cost saving efforts in Munich [1]) and private-owned clinics are under financial pressure from their owners (you gotta make those 18% EBIT [2] somehow), while at the same time the amount of money that the public health insurances pay for procedures (fixed rates across the country) is not enough to cover these costs.

> One reason we eat herbivores instead of carnivores is because the higher up the food chain you go, the more you are exposed to a concentration of heavy metals, pesticides, etc.

Whilst it's true that these concentrate in carnivores this is not a reason why we eat mostly herbivores.

Herbivores were plentiful and less dangerous to hunt. Then, herbivores are much easier and more economical to breed (you would need to breed herbivores first if you wanted to breed carnivores...)

You'll note that these decisions were made long before people even knew about heavy metals or had pesticides.

Why do you eat octopus if you feel bad about it? Why not just don't do it? It's not like you need to for survival.

Not a MD but married to one, plus my brother and some friends are docs. They would echo the sentiment in this piece. My brother has argued that being a PA, NP or especially a dentist has a better ROI as the training is way shorter and pay pretty good.

Some of my observed pros and cons of the medical profession:

MD pros

* Respect
* Pay
* Satisfaction that a resuscitation saved a life (PA don't run those at my wife's group)

MD cons

* Required overnight shifts for some specialties e.g. ED or hospitalist. PAs at my wife's group don't do overnights.

Practitioners all have stories of friend of friend doc falling asleep at the wheel and getting into fatal accident.
* PAs work under the supervision of the MD, hence all more medically challenging cases go to the MD along with the stresses e.g. running a code (resuscitation) or getting a difficult admission through.

PA cons

* Seems like the PA coverage expands and contracts depending on how the hospital is doing financially, while the physician coverage is constant.

Cons for both MD and PA/NP

* Dealing with drug seeking patients
In that situation the metadata is no longer part of the 'file' then, and would be lost by a 3rd party copy function unless extra API functions are used to copy the metadata.

At this point, it might as well be a "resource fork" or whatever you want to call your secondary file contents at the fs layer shrug
If you pressed me for an answer: similar to how Stackoverflow suggests possibly related questions.

Start with a distance function from url to url. Easiest would be based on simple URL string distance (would have shown this as very similar). If you want to get fancy, fetch the content and do a distance function on that. I guess you can endlessly tweak that distance function, incorporate <meta canonical, etc. Probably unnecessary.

Then: order by distance asc limit 5, ask users “is your URL a dupe of any of these?”

Although a pretty solid alternative solution is: let the community deal with it. It’s not a huge problem at the moment, I don’t think anyone particularly minds (?). HN doesn’t do all it “should”, and (personally) that’s precisely what’s enjoyable. So what if there’s a dupe? Someone posts the original, problem solved :D

I would love to read a deep dive into the history of (semi) modern science. In particular, one that would avoid pop-science analogies and that is unafraid of technical detail. Ideally one that is more focused on the intricacies and lineage of research than the particulars of researchers' personal lives.

I feel that academics often have significant insight into the history of their own fields and personalities therein, but that knowledge is rarely condensed/disseminated. Perhaps it's because matters can get quite political and subjective at that level.

Doesn't sound stupid to me. Someone forgot their password since it is stored in the email client. They once went through the steps of setting up the email client or email account with a password and had the right intuition that the whole procedure is reasonably save. The email client is on autostart and looks different to how they read email on their phones. If they follow your instructions to recover the password, then that's fine.

This seems to reside in a different category than some of the other stories here in this thread. I'm trying to make this distinction since, if we're honest, the UIs that we're all building are not always as good as they could be for the common user.

Edit: Reading through some of the stories on that website I see real user issues described as stupidity:

Under "Email Magic":
I actually had this emailed to me once:
"Help! I can't find your email address. What is it?"

Modern email clients and web interfaces hide known email addresses and just show the name. Good to know that I typed the address correctly, but actually finding out the actual address may not be intuitive.

> Lets all hate together?

I'm not sure why you assume negativity here? I have been a happy owner and user of several Apple products throughout the years and I think that from a business perspective they have been really nailing down market timing, one of the hardest things to get right with new products. If you're really doubling down on this angle, then I guess we're all doing innovation in some sense as long as we're adding anything new. Is Tinder also an innovation because of its success?

Does it matter?

If we want an accurate historical record of human achievement, yes.

That's separate to the end result. If you're focused on the theory and nothing else, then it doesn't really matter that Einstein wrote it either. We could remove the attribution entirely and the theory would still exist.

Hilbert might have know about it first, but what does it matter to the world writ large if he didnt publish? Einstein published, and thus the world knows and he is thus recognized for that.

That depends on why Hilbert didn't publish first. There are plenty of examples of people from minorities (women and PoC especially) discovering theorems but the scientific community ignoring them, and then a rich white man publishing the same theory to great acclaim. And then, even hundreds of years later, governments failing to fund the education of those minorities on the basis that they're genetically inferior because no one from those minorities has published anything of note.

Correctly attributing discoveries to the right people does make a difference in the wider context of society.

Visiting Egypt, particularly as an American, is an amazing experience. I tend to think of the American Revolution as “a long time ago”. After all, that’s when the country began.

Egypt, on the other hand, is a whole different ball game. It’s easy to recognize this on an intellectual level by reading on Wikipedia. But to see the history laid out like geological stratum is something else: layers on layers of civilization after civilization. Sometimes quite literally, like cases of hieroglyphics covered in multiple layers of graffiti, each layer in a different language.

It’s also enjoyable to see how enthusiastic Egyptians are about this history, and about new discoveries like this one. If you ever get the chance to go, go.
The finance model invites speculation on land. Then future rateable income attracts government which wants the outcome and needs the money.

Yes.. Windows XP had an unending list of vulnerabilities, software patch policies were often horrible, hardware with outdated software was everywhere. Back then if you would call yourself a hacker or a hack group it would mean you had multiple 0day exploits under your sleeve for operating systems, browsers and web apps.

Even if you were just a lowly scriptkiddie, because of the bad update policies you could just go to an exploit website, like metasploit is now, and try out the list of old exploits on any target you were interested in. A friend of mine had 40.000 routers in some Scandinavian country because their ISP shipped them to customers with a 4 year old BSD release that had known vulnerabilities in it.

Here is a stupidity I did back when I was a kid and just got my first computer.

I had some pre-installed games on my PC. I noticed shortcuts to games are only 1-2kb while the executable files are in MBs. Since both things have same icons, same names they must be the same thing right? I deleted the executables and copied shortcuts to where they were to save some precious space for my PC. And I didn't even test things before hand, I permanently deleted all my game exes and then tried starting running a game, which obviously failed.

Thankfully the place where my parents bought our PC reinstalled my games.

So what's wrong with Signal's business model? I followed the link, and none of these seem to apply to Signal, which is a funded free and open source project.

Although I don't get why Signal Messenger LLC was formed alongside the Signal Foundation non-profit. Why not just have the non-profit? Still, it's open source.

Signal is easy to set up, it shouldn't be too hard to convince your contacts to use it. The exception is that some parts of the world have really restricted internet access and only allow certain apps like WhatsApp.

The issues discussed in that link, such as concurrency, lack of atomicity and failure are all factors that make bi-directional sync a hard problem. Yes POSIX provides few guarantees and so that burden rests on the application code above. The formal model must consider the race conditions and failure modes, it is not "the easy part". I do acknowledge there is a modelling gap to overcome and some problems with POSIX, but I disagree that its the hardest part of the problem.
