They might plan to replace pilots with AI-based systems plus weak human supervision long-term. The idea is similar to what Waymo is working on for their AVs.

Relative to autonomous vehicles, this has less complications from other drivers, but more from wind, rain, gravity, possibly battery life, etc.

The areas coverable by AVs and autonomous drones could differ given their different challenges.

Making something for other people is the highest value prized within the YC founder community. We actually mock people who are scenesters who do it for the fame/social status, and we mock the scammers who build nothing real and get fake valuations.

The fundamental mistake you are making is throwing the baby out with the bath water. Trust me, there are real things that are VC funded too. As a builder myself I would not become a VC and try to help other builders if I didn’t know that at was true at a core deep level and from first hand personal experience.

There are lots of magnets in the solar system, chief of all this giant ball of hydrogen fusion.

Even ignoring the effects of the interplanetary medium, Earth isn't a homogeneous object. There's a solid core, a liquid sheath around that, a plastic sheath around that, and then the lithosphere we are intimately familiar with, followed by a few levels of gaseous atmosphere. These layers are not fixed to rotate at the same speed. If you speed up the lower mantle, then the lithosphere needs to slow down to conserve angular momentum, lengthening the day. The effect is undoubtedly small, though: as I said, this is on the order of parts per million.

Well it's a board (specifically a printed circuit board) with keys. And if you think that these are not keys, remember telegraph keys and keyboards of pianos and other music instruments.

I think he rescued what was salvageable from the Carly Fiorina disaster. Absurd that she could be seen as a successful person. I think if he hadn't cut costs massively there would be no HP. His salary at the time is indefensible, but so are the salaries of most of the S&P 500.

Frankly, the board firing Hurd was just dumb American sexual hypocrisy (both Hurd and the board), burnt billions in value and nearly tanked the company because he was banging someone on the company dime. I'll never understand why he didn't just pay his mistress with his own $30M salary. Perceived deniability? It's bizarre.

And then Apotheker really trashed HP. Meg W, as much as I disagree with her politics, somehow got HP back to being competitive.

HPE has good server and HPC/GPU products, even if the website sucks balls, and competes hard with Dell, IBM etc.
Hi doppelganger!

In my house the chore division has me doing the kitchen after the kids are in bed. I love optimizing and getting everything in, but in the right configuration so it also all gets clean. I get annoyed when my wife starts loading the dishes early, because the space isn't managed perfectly, and I don't get my little zen-zing of 'I had a lot, and I wasn't sure it would work out, but it all fit'.

Plus, with Bluetooth, I no longer get my headphone cord caught on the dishwasher's rack! I listen to podcasts at 3x, and learn so much while getting a feeling of satisfaction for a job well done.

Ditto. I was in "wait for it" mode for the whole article and it left me hanging.
The original article said that X contracts were traded by a single party right before the close, where X was actually the total number of contracts traded by all parties. So either Vanity Fair didn’t fact check their article or zero other people happened to trade during that time frame (which is as about likely as zero people deciding to go to the grocery store on a given day).
I've seen examples where they've deducted value especially when publishers' proofreaders are unfamiliar with obscure technical terms and mistake them for typos. This happens especially when changing a single letter would change the word from obscure to something relatively common; the meaning is of course not preserved.

Examples:

- in a novel about the Buddha, 'jhana' was changed to 'jnana'

- in an article about installing Linux, 'rawrite' (RawWrite) was changed to 'rewrite'
Take a group of diehard anti-free-will determinists to the deciding World Series game and have them watch their home team’s batter lose the Series … how many would bother to attend the game if they accepted that the decision whether or not to swing occurred entirely at a subliminal level?

It's interesting that whenever the discussion of free-will comes up, it's always in the context of someone making a decision on how to interpret if or how someone else has free-will. The diehard anti-free-will determinists have no choice in attending the game, and if they do or not is not dependent on how they see the outcome of the game as deterministic or not. In this vein, the classic free-will argument of if criminals deserve punishment if they don't have free-will is an argument made from a hubristic point of view, as if those deciding the punishment exist outside of determinism. This is often an attempt to get anti-free-will types in a contradiction, similar to the claim/argument that there no atheists in foxholes.

The compiler cares because they want to enforce this standard (and it may make the parser slightly simpler). That there is a mix, or at least a non-obvious break between what the compiler enforces and what the formatter will accept and produce is an inconsistency in go, I suppose, but not necessarily worse than arbitrary decisions made in other languages.

The strength of that defense depends on whether the cameras are streaming live feeds to a remote server, or just storing it locally.
My standard has been:

Commit messages should describe why you're doing something ("X asked", or "[reams of supporting evidence why this needed to be made faster but more confusing]"). It provides context to current reviewers, and future archeologists who wonder what you were drinking at the time. Perhaps you had a good reason for doing [insane thing X]! Perhaps you didn't. If you didn't write it down, they might change or leave it, and break something or prevent something from getting a proper fix.

Code comments should be notes to code-readers that are relevant at all times until changed or deleted. "How to use this", "beware changing X", "Z is hot garbage and should be replaced if used for Q". Ideally you'll have asserts or tests or something that actually enforce this, but of course that's not always a realistic option. Comments in code will follow the code around, and don't require chasing code history through N layers of refactoring and indentation-wars, which is what makes commit messages mostly inappropriate for needs like this.

The electronic order book at the CME is completely anonymous. Unless the CME provided the de-anonymized dataset, there's no way for a third party to know that two separate trades were initiated by the same person. None. Nada. Zero.

The fact that the Vanity Fair article is just making the assertion that separate trades belong to the same person without explaining how they know this is pretty strong evidence that the journalist is just making shit up. Or at least is being hoodwinked by a supposed expert who is just making shit up.

I'd be like me claiming that every single slot machine jackpot in Vegas last Tuesday was won by the same person. Then when I get challenged to provide evidence of it, saying "no, you provide evidence that it wasn't."
I remember when I was a kid and thought that hacking was this intense activity of "breaking in". Movies like Hackers really captured my imagination. Some vulnerabilities and hacks truly are incredible like Stuxnet[0]. However, after creating software for many companies for many years you start to realize that most of the "hacks" were just someone not being careful enough. A PM dropped the ball on a project, security wasn't even informed of the project, there was no security team, or some other simple mistake. One of the companies I worked at hired security experts to train us how to write more secure code and you wouldn't believe how bored the room looked. Almost no one was paying attention, even the junior engineers who were the primary reason for the training.

Anyways, as long as humans are writing code and organizations function the way they do today these exploits are going to continue happening.

I got rid of my Nest products and switched to a HomeKit versions because of this.
Fascinating! What are the uses of something like this? Is this at all related to concepts or metaprogramming?
Serious question:

Does your website say that "Booste runs your slow as fuck apps for you." ??
But when are they/we going to learn the meta lesson, which is that this is an inevitable outcome [0] of every "cloud" connected piece of trash? With the ease of distributing software to mobile devices, there is little reason for something to be designed around phoning home instead of using well documented protocols on the local network, but for the "value add" of gradually implementing ever more surveillance and lock in.

Frankly the tech community is shirking our professional responsibility by not loudly condemning marketing-pushed junk like Nest, and letting it gain market share in the first place.

[0] Well, one of two possible outcomes really. The other being plain abandonment.
A pilot program to have pilot-free vehicles piloted by pilots
Well I agree with you that that kind of recurrence (which mathematicians love to use so much, as do some functional programmers who're overly influenced by math) is not very intuitive and frankly is a programming anti-pattern in my view.

But I disagree with you that recursion is the essence of fp. For your concrete example, a more functional version of doing that (in Python) would be something like:

print("\n".join(a[i:] for i in range(len(a)))

No need to reuse f(i-1) when you can express f(i) directly.

Reusing the previous step (whether it is using recursion, rising intermediate computations in the form of local variables in a loop, or through a fold) should only be done when absolutely necessary.
Not only do they now force you to have a Google account and Google Assistant (via Android or Google Home) to take full advantage of your Nest now, but they also pretty much gutted the API in the name of "privacy." Ironic.

I was looking to play with my historical data to try and figure out how my two heating and cooling systems were interacting, but that data is no longer available to non-grandfathered developers. The only way to access my own data from my super-technologically-advanced-device-owned-by-Google is by ordering a dump of CSV files.
I finished setting up a pile of Nest thermostats and cameras about a month before Google killed “works with Nest”. Am now planning to remove all of the Nest products. Haven't figured out what to replace the cameras with (I do not want to go through this again with another vendor). The Nest thermostats were great for the first couple of years we had them and we saw some measurable savings on heating and cooling. Killing off the automation options via IFTTT kills the utility of the thermostats for me (and Google Assistant is useless as a replacement if your primary Google accounts are G Suite accounts).

Speaking of filename weirdness.. I changed my Mac's language to Spanish a few years ago, as I was learning the language, which has many bizarre effects, online and off. One is that the Library folder in my home folder appears in Finder as Librería, yet if I try to cd to Librería or Libreria in bash it doesn't work, as it's actually Library. Same for Documentos, Imágenes, Aplicaciones, Escritorio (Desktop), Usuarios, Sistema etc. I haven't looked into how that actually works. But there seems something very wrong about files appearing as not what they're called, which I assume the whole non-English-speaking world puts up with.
Not quite right:

The Vanity Fair article would be like me claiming that every single jackpot in Vegas last week was won by the same person. Without any supporting evidence of that assertion, or any explanation about how I came to this conclusion.

Then Bellagio just responds "Uhhh... No... That didn't happen."

Before demanding that Bellagio compromise the privacy of their customers to explicitly dis-prove it, maybe, just maybe the original journalists should provide some actual evidence. Something besides "Nah-ah. They totally were all the same person. Don't ask me how I know it. I just do."
That one sentence is sufficient to disprove the Vanity Fair article.

That's literally how bad that article was.

That's indicative of a bad/dry trainer. A good trainer should easily be able to captivate the room with interesting anecdotes, war stories and general humor while teaching good, factual, actionable information.

Security should be fun, especially when you're coming from a developer perspective and you get to break everything instead of fixing it for once.

It's a real shame you had that experience, because the world really needs more security oriented developers.

"Single sources of data are considered acceptable in such cases by our industry," the Boeing spokesperson said.

This has never been true, and this article was from a time when Boeing was still successfully covering up now public information (they did indeed simulate the sensor failure mode, which is what this new scandal is about).

The decision to have the new MCAS use a single physical sensor itself flies in the face of over a half century of aviation engineering practices. That design decision alone is already negligence. Planes typically have 3 fully independent hydraulic control systems for redundancy. Flight computers are redundant and run on different architectures (there is lots of interesting reading about this if you google). Boeing has known how to do fault tolerance correctly on planes for a long time. In this case management faced a conflict between forseen catastrophic failures and the bottom line, and buried warnings from engineers and pilots.

After the first crash Boeing should have told airlines to ground their planes. They had all the information. Instead they attempted to shift blame to pilots while continuing to lie about the safety of the plane. It doesnt get much clearer than this.

If you happened to be one of the lucky people who bought options on a stock, index or whatever and in 24-48 hours it goes from being out of the money to deep in the money, all these algorithms kick off and your name ends up on a list with the SEC. Next they start pulling your bank records and brokerage account records (which they have instant access to) to check for the obvious such as how old is this account, how often does it trade, how often you get lucky, where does your wife work, etc (last one is not a joke, they watch for people married to lawyers and such). As the flags go off, more people get involved, phones calls get made and accounts start getting frozen and then some dude wearing dark glasses on a cloudy day shows up at your office.

Say what you will about government agencies, the SEC takes insider trading very seriously and they are very well equipped to deal with it. Something so obvious happens from time to time but rarely works. At least not on a scale to move markets (a couple million here and there is nothing in grand scheme of things but even that gets caught). I’m a little skeptical here.
A complete camera and RF transmitter is only a few grams in weight and negligible in power draw.
