More accurately, Musk doesn't care what others think is needed for self-driving, so your aspersions about Musk badly wanting us to think one way or another are not supported by facts.

Neither Tesla nor Musk make a big deal of lack of lidar.

The only reason his views on the subject are public (and so hotly discussed) is because during Autonomy Investor Day he was asked by an investor why Tesla doesn't use a lidar.

So he answered the question. You might not agree with his reasoning but he's not on some "NO LIDAR" publicity tour, trying to change your mind.

Here's the source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE

Watch the whole thing. The first time Musk mentions lack of lidar is after being asked.

I think the point is that it's secure from 3rd parties, but not to the owner/operator of the service itself.
Teletext was big in the UK in the 80s and into the 90s. The BBC Micro (6502 based) had an adaptor, and the BBC would broadcast downloadable software on some of their pages for that computer

I don’t recall if that ever happened for the Spectrum (Z80 based) - but being able to view the pages in the mid 80s was like living in the future!

Here’s more about the system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext
The most serious problem with fusion, though, is that coolant does not circulate through the reactor, but rather around it. This makes fusion reactors have much lower power density than fission reactors.
Idea: A Simpler AWS
I’ve been working a lot with AWS, and increasingly feel it’s excessively complicated and overbloated for a vast majority of use cases. Is it a good idea to make a simpler version of AWS with only simple CRUD functionality, authentication, and a few other essential, easy-to-use features?

Our IXP connection to DE-CIX is donated. Our transit is also donated from Packet.net, Webair and Pilot. Yes we have our own ASN.
Cernekee has asked people to contribute money to help Richard Spencer, a white nationalist, defended skinheads, and used 8-chan compatible lingo of referring to people with negative views of skinheads as "normies".

Even the right-wing Daily Caller thinks this is a fishy source for Trump to be using to justify attacks on Google. In the era of domestic white nationalist terrorism, is it really good practice for the President of the United States to be basing public, global messaging attacking public companies based on really flimsy sources with tangential ties to extremist communities? This isn't the first time either, Trump often retweets questionable, un-vetted sources with crazy theories, like the whole "3 million illegals voted" conspiracy.

How many more lies and incompetent sourcing incidents do we need before people stop giving him the benefit of the doubt and start demanding that the President act with some restraint, some level of due process, some level of balance?

> I think that your conclusion that JavaScript defines undefined as "there is no such property" and null as "the property has no value" is perfectly correct.

This answers a puzzling irk I had with TypeScript where name?: <type> could have a valid value of <type> or undefined rather than what I'd expect to be null or a non-null valid value of <type>. If I consider that 'name' is a property of the containing object then undefined makes sense in context. It is annoying to say <type> | null | undefined though.
Kinda like digital ocean?
I have twin infants, a toddler, and work in a large office unrelated to medicine. I wash my hands on average 2 * 12 times a day, every day. It's my job to keep my family healthy. I suppose we are saying it is arguable that it's not the job of medical professionals to keep their patients healthy?

Hippocratic oath must be window dressing these days.
Actually, they did mention radar during Autonomy Investor Day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE).

Also, https://www.tesla.com/autopilot says:

"A forward-facing radar with enhanced processing provides additional data about the world on a redundant wavelength that is able to see through heavy rain, fog, dust and even the car ahead."

So it's rather bizarre that you would speculate about how they're not using radar when they explicitly say they do.

> It puts the burden on the merchant to check the signature instead of the cardholder to not have their PIN guessed/overseen

Maybe it's different in HK, but here in US and A I literally just make random scribbles (or sometimes just write "void" for kicks) and nothing is ever checked.
"Siri, remind me to buy milk tomorrow." - "Ok. Calling mom" or some other random action is more typical of siri.
> germ theory is still a struggle for doctors and hospitals

What do you mean by this? As written, it's total nonsense; germ theory is universally accepted.
I meant modern in the sense that the person you're responding to was using it. I'm not sure what their point was; as far as I can tell they were agreeing with me.

The Khoi San diverged from the rest of humanity roughly 200k years ago. Yet they are basically compatibly with modern humans. As far as I am aware, they have recursive language and normal imaginations. My point was that this theory would have to deal with the fact that human populations who split much, much longer ago than 70k years ago appear to have the same basic brain functionality as the rest of humanity.

I guess, based on what someone else said, the theory is positing that people with the mutation could bootstrap the process in people who don't have it. I dunno, in light of the Khoi San, things start to diverge pretty far from what I would describe as a parsimonious explanation. Plus we're talking hypothetically about what was going on in the minds of people who lived 70k years ago. There are a lot of theories that could be correct, since we have literally no direct evidence of the presence of recursive language (or the lack thereof).

Are you talking about turning smartphones into mesh network routers? I would imagine this would kill your battery rather quickly.

Also, it would probably require rooting the phone to install the necessary routing software.

There are a whole host of other reasons but those two are the easiest to explain.

The world will heat up and Wars will be fought for those needing to move to other areas to avoid the increasing heat. We will not go extinct directly due to the heat but indirectly. The more preoccupying issue is that of the insects or lack thereof. Those are to the air breathing world as is plankton to the oceans...the basis of all food chains. Pollinators and instigators and life givers and life agitators. I mean c’mon we all saw bee story.....but don’t fret, our planet will be just fine and that process which brought us about will go to work again and do the same with some other result once earth calms down from this tinkering of ours. The tectonic plates will continue to move and subduct; Mother Earth will adjust and thrive as always; and maybe, just maybe our first colonization experiment won’t be on mars....
I seem to remember some dodgy street vendors in Sanlitun hawking these things.
According to a recent interview with pony.ai (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VcpZnIg3M0) the cost to retrofit a car with all necessary sensors is $75k.

A Lidar is a significant part of that.

If $40k Tesla can do as well as $40k car + $75k of sensors (including lidar) it's economical game over. Tesla wins by a wide margin.

The $75k will drop in time, but the battle will likely happen before the price of lidars drop significantly enough.
Nitpick: There's only one Chinese embassy in the USA, in Washington D.C.

The other diplomatic offices are consulates.

If it's anything like the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand, there's usually regular protests outside, for a variety of reasons. Their response would be to ignore them, like they usually do.
Gizmodo [0] did the original reporting on what I've mentioned, based on the work of Alan Mislove amongst others.

Facebook's official statement when 2FA numbers started being made available for other purposes was:

> “We outline the information we receive and use for ads in our data policy, and give people control over their ads experience including custom audiences, via their ad preferences,” said a spokesperson by email. “For more information about how to manage your preferences and the type of data we use to show people ads see this post.”

They saw no reason to deny it. Any information handed to Facebook may be used for any purpose, even if it is not apparent to the user that they will exploit data given under one function for another unrelated function.

As a sibling has pointed out with several sources - this isn't new behaviour for Facebook.

No. The central government maintains a tight grip on the Hong Kong Government, and of course occasionally acts of its own accord in Hong Kong (see the case of the booksellers' rendition), but for the most part they still have to let the Hong Kong legal system operate as it does.

Even in light of these protests, it continues to seem fairly unlikely that Beijing will want to intervene militarily or impose direct controls over the HK government unless things heat up considerably more than they have already.
For the theophoric names, I have a question you probably can't answer.

I've read that the form "Jehovah" results from reading YHWH as if it had the vowel points of the word adonai, "lord". But I can't help noticing that the prefix form of YHWH in names, for which the vowels are known, is yeho-. That really adds some credibility to "Jehovah", except that "Jehovah" supposedly comes from a completely unrelated convention.

How much do we know about the original vowels? How true is the adonai story?
>Facebook engineers know exactly what is going on, and I don't think they actually care.

I know of founders who would need to think carefully about even interviewing someone with Facebook on their resume. And I totally get these concerns given the attitude Facebook has towards the privacy of users.
That's a goofy thing to say. There are millions of 4chan users, and at least hundreds of thousands of 8chan users and visitors. They don't "murder indiscriminately" any more than Twitter users do.

And gee, wow, you posted a comic where the author's self-insert tries to talk to a totally crazy and unreasonable Drumpf Nazi, who is a blatant hypocrite and makes a fool of himself, confirming your political biases and allowing you to impute terrible motives to millions! How will we ever recover?

My quote was a bit out of context. I was talking about how if it rained my old Time Warner Cable ("Spectrum") connection would go down for a day. This is a known TWC problem in downtown Manhattan.

NYC Mesh is having a different problem with very heavy rain where two of our high speed point-to-point connections (60GHz and 24GHz) will go down for like 20 minutes in very heavy rain. We're working on fixing this.

This is from the article. The pointers were in his bag. He didn't point at anyone. Your comment implied that he did, and that's factually incorrect.
Compare the number of times you or your kids have sat down in front of your TV and wanted to watch Blair Witch, vs the number of times you or your kids have wanted to watch Beauty and the Beast, Alladin, Frozen, Lion King, Star Wars, or Avengers.

For me it is not even close.
I work in medical billing, so the other side of this mess - it gets really fun to ensure the right providers are in the right spots when submitting the claims. Rules not only vary by state but also the payer type (Medicaid, Medicare, commercial plans can vary just as much). We’re actually going through a bunch of work writing our own software to import charges into our billing system to give us more control over the ordering (there’s other reasons too, but this is a big one).
According to the article, he had them in his bag and there's no evidence of him using them.

To be fair, Tolkien explicitly set out to create a Northern European pre-history or mythology. I am not sure if he even considered non-European readers as his audience.

A good parallel might be the love many Westerners have for anime.
I always thought they should have spent some of those billions to acquire some existing entertainment companies and get some more back catalog. Not everyone likes to watch new stuff. (And even when it comes to making new stuff–a lot of what Disney is doing is building on stuff they already own rather than totally new content-easy for Disney when they own outright so much back catalog.)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Laennec#Invention_of...

René Laennec wrote the classic treatise De l'Auscultation Médiate, published in August 1819[5][6] The preface reads:

In 1816, He was consulted by a young woman laboring under general symptoms of diseased heart, and in whose case percussion and the application of the hand were of little avail on account of the great degree of fatness. The other method just mentioned [direct auscultation] being rendered inadmissible by the age and sex of the patient, I happened to recollect a simple and well-known fact in acoustics, ... the great distinctness with which we hear the scratch of a pin at one end of a piece of wood on applying our ear to the other. Immediately, on this suggestion, I rolled a quire of paper into a kind of cylinder and applied one end of it to the region of the heart and the other to my ear, and was not a little surprised and pleased to find that I could thereby perceive the action of the heart in a manner much more clear and distinct than I had ever been able to do by the immediate application of my ear.

Just wanted to point out that typically in the US, the role you seem to be describing is that of an engineering manager, not a project manager. If your company is finding engineering managers in 2-4 weeks, it probably is not a top-tier tech company.

At the highest paying tech companies (FANG) there are usually 3 "manager" roles:

- Product Manager: Interfaces between marketing, engineering and design to manage the development of new features and products. Not necessarily a people manager and does not directly manager engineers.

- Project Manager: Manages scheduling, task assignment, communication between teams, assigns bugs. Does not directly manage engineers.

- Engineering Manager: Primarily a people manager, usually was a SWE previously. Does manage engineers.

Of the 3, the project manager path is probably the least lucrative at the same level. Product and engineering tend to have similar pay.

Good engineering managers have a unique blend of managerial skill AND technical skill. On the other hand, there are lots of anti-social weirdos that are great ICs in engineering. As a result, I'm inclined to say that supply and demand is working pretty well.
I’m rooting for SCSI to make a comeback - I have a box full of cables ready to go!
Are they going to offer their service outside of the US?

One thing I appreciate about Netflix, is they try to offer their services in as many countries as possible. (Unfortunately the availability of content across countries is quite uneven, but Netflix has expressed an intention to improve that over time, and certainly with their original content the situation is much better than with their acquired content.)
I agree its unfair.

Microsoft also played ball with Linux vendors alerting them to this vector. This allowed them to get the swapGS fixes tested and sane.

This interaction with the opensource community has significantly increased my respect for Microsoft.

Seems to me that "deep understanding of surrounding" and "only achievable with visible spectrum" are contradictory. Visible light is readily attenuated, occluded, and reflected.

The first time Tesla runs over a kid chasing a ball into the street because it couldn't see him between the cars, this will be readily apparent.

Seems to me that Tesla is in the business of selling cars, other self driving companies are interested in AV for ride sharing or trucking. The latter have different requirements for styling and costs and the consumer case, so Musk has several limitations on the sensor suite he includes in a Tesla.

What he's doing is trying to argue a $5k system with cheap cameras and crappy radar coverage is all that is needed, because a full no-blind-spot multi-spectrum system would both cost too much AND likely make the car look ugly.

Two people have already been killed, and several injured, by Tesla autopilot due to blind spots.

An American version of tabelog would be amazing but idk if it would ever happen

It's something I've wanted to do for awhile. Do Things that idk yelp does like give older ratings less weight.

I also think the the ratings are mostly useless. 4 1/2 star restaurants in the same area are not comparable. The rounding to half puts restaurants that are miles apart to close together. Ratings below 3 are useless. Sushi in sf is frustrating with yelp. Michelin stared restaurants have the same ratings as local sushi places. The whole scale needs to be used. There also needs to be separate ratings for food and service. Places get hit hard for unreasonable service expectations when the food is great. I'm pretty sure the average yelp reviewer has crap taste in food. Especially in tourist areas.
The license was still GPLv2 back then.
I just want to take the opportunity to point out this is the kind of stuff Net Neutrality regulations outlawed. With those regulations repealed, people are able to innovate again.

Just because they are on Taobao doesn't mean they are not against the law.

From my own observations, law enforcement in Mainland China is mostly reactive when it comes to product safely. They don't enforce a law unless something becomes an actual, big enough problem - especially if it threatens (the image of) the people in power.
Sure. But the reason why the police is looking for laser-pointers is kinda obvious isn't? I am merely pointing out that what you kids are getting away in Hong Kong would have been met with a much stronger reaction elsewhere.

I've been programming in Java since I started working as a programmer. Learning to setup a Windows machine for Java development is difficult if you aren't familiar with environment variables and the like.

Java, like C++, has gotten more and more features/keywords over the years. Frameworks like Spring Boot tend to make use of those features. Also, Spring Boot is a sit down and read the guides compared to something like Rails or ExpressJS and the like. Depending on your Java knowledge the documentation is going to be hit or miss I think. Also, convention over configuration makes it harder for new developers to get the hang of developing with a framework like Spring Boot because they don't know the conventions usually.
Something that really bothers me about coffee culture is that coffee is seen as a solution to being tired when really all it is is just an alertness booster. The main neurological cause of sleepiness is the brain’s desire to do memory optimization which can only happen by sleeping at the right time. Correct timing is really important and it seems to me like you have DSPS (delayed sleep phase syndrome). Most people’s circadian rhythms are a bit longer than 24 hours (usually between 24.5-25.5 hours) though external signals like exercise or bright light in the morning reset it to being closer to 24. If you have DSPS, yours isn’t reset well (you can try the aformtentioned morning bright light and exercise to change this) and you have a tendency to wake up later and later each day. The problem is that if you have to wake up at 7 every day and you think you need 9 hours of sleep you’ll try to sleep at 10 to get enough which backfires. The reason it can backfire is that for good sleep you need both strong homeostatic sleep signals (tiredness from thinking a lot or doing a lot of effort in the day) and circadian (sleepiness goes and comes cyclically). If you sleep at 10 and have DSPS, even if your homeostatic signals sleep, it is likely that your circadian isn’t which means you end up tossing and turning throughout the night. If you slept maybe an hour later you’d get full circadian and homeostatic sleepiness giving you good quality sleep but if you have to wake up at 7 you have to cut short sleep with an alarm clock which isn’t great since your brain can’t complete all the memory optimization it wants. I would say though that sleeping later more restfully for shorter will do you better than sleeping earlier restlessly.
(Sorry for the essay, sleep is something I care about a lot. I hope this was a little helpful.)
