What are people without cars supposed to do? Drive.

Great, simply great.

As I said, that's not an option for:

* people who can't afford a car

* the disabled

* children

* very old people

* etc

You're literally requiring everyone else to drive so that's driving is a bit easier for you because you'll have to pay less attention to the road.

OK. That kind of makes you look like a shitty driver, though.
I'm not confusing anything:

All that really needs to be recovered are the astronauts. A backup system could be devised where the astronauts bail out and come down on their own parachutes.
I'm happy for the kid and surprised KK didn't see the backlash coming but there's also something that makes me a little uneasy about this. Deciding not to sell in a market seems like a totally reasonable decision and it seems just a little too easy to exploit social media blowback for individual profit.
No molten salt reactor could be available by 2030. Simply resolving material issues would take at least that long.
Proving materials will last X years takes at least X years.

More importantly, the decision whether to build such a reactor will depend on decline in costs of its competition in the future, not just now, when the business case for the reactor requires it operate for 40 years or more.

Former Twitter Employees Charged with Spying for Saudi Arabia
Probably because the source is still open. This whole discussion strongly reminds me that open-source and free software are not the same.
I don't see anything about addressing retaliatory negative reviews, which seems like a not insignificant part of the problem as described in the Vice article (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/43k7z3/nationwide-fake-ho...)
That shows that the lowest-frequency component of tidal motion is driven by the sun's gravity. But the highest-amplitude component by far is the effect of the moon's gravity, which has a period of 12 hours and 25 minutes. So yes, tides are affected by the sun, but they don't depend on it.
I think that depends on the company. There are companies that offer flexible hours and shorter weeks without a reduction in pay. I think it is more common to find companies that support shorter workweeks with a relative adjustment in pay.
It's even more shocking than you may have realized. Not sure if you caught it because you may have been too surprised or just read quickly, but that was the 2010 number. The current number is estimated to be a mere 26 people that hold as much as the lower half!
You can fork it, you can mod it. But you cannot sell forked sentry as a service to companies. If companies want sentry they can host it themselves and you can provide customization/support services for that.
One of the applications I've heard for the new ARM server CPUs is doing ARM builds. Seems convincing to me! Going forward, another catalyst will be an ARM laptop that appeals to developers, and that makes it easier for them to directly target ARM without going through a cloud service.
When the rules are stupid, play by the rules.

Set up a PC at home, logged into slack that keeps the status as available.

They didn't say anything about actually responding to messages, right?

Alternatively I'm sure there is a law they are breaking, so let them know about it.

But more simply - any company that comes up with such a rule has got things backwards and doesn't understand how to manage people, and probably doesn't understand tech. They probably love emergencies where "the team comes together" and hate spending extra time on ensuring quality and paying down tech debt. Leaving becomes a sensible option. They are shortsighted and I am guessing they don't make a lot of profit. Is my tea reading right?
If the car can't detect what's in front of it, then it most definitely should brake. This is up to the engineers to solve this issue, not for a vehicle to continue into a dangerous situation blindly.
Why wouldn’t you return more data for the REST API instead of making dependent requests?
Spotify used P2P when it first launched, and I think it worked well. The move to phones as a primary playback device probably made it less feasible.
Huh? Did you read the announcement? They clearly state that it is no longer under an open source license.
As they state in their article it's eventually OSS (after 3yrs it converts to OSS) and you're basically unaffected you're reselling a competing hosted version, you still have full access to the source code and can continue to run your own/modified version in house.

Given that Sentry is primarily the sole contributor behind improving and advancing their own product, making it more sustainable directly translates in being able to have more resources into making a better product whereas having their efforts stolen and repurposed by a competitive AWS/Azure hosted solution would directly make it worse. They'd be pouring their millions into competing against themselves whilst the cloud providers can use their marketing + monopoly network effects to reap all the commercial efforts off Sentry's investments.

The only losers here are the cloud oligopolies and Sentry's hosted competitors, Sentry ends up with a more sustainable business model they can invest in making a better product, which benefits their product and all their customers.
Pedestrian detection outside of crosswalk is an edge case, it's a nice to have!
> inflation has been more stable and lower in recent years than much of the Bretton Woods era...

That depends how you measure inflation. The government-published inflation rates use all kinds of creative accounting to make the number seem artificially low. It's in the government's interest to make it seem like that's the case. The reality is that housing prices (and rents) are increasing at a very high rate, and this is probably the biggest expense that we all have to pay. It's also a fundamental need.
All of the code you contributed before this change remains open source. You’re free to fork the project.
I think it's a bit vaguely described but I think the pedestrian wasn't in the path of the vehicle at 5.6 seconds since they were walking perpendicularly. The system couldn't classify the person or that they were walking into its path. Or at least that what I gathered from that. I guess if it classifies something as unknown it's basically would have no behavior? I am just speculating.
No one gives it serious credence because linear magnetic mirror configurations were found to be a nonstarter for similar reasons that electrostatic confinement devices are not considered. These aren't arbitrary machines, they have a real research goal. Skunkworks will never get there with their design and anyone who looks at their diagrams can tell you that. They also don't release any design parameters or performance metrics. From the outside it looks like a method to funnel money into someone's pocket.
As someone strongly critical of orthodox economic treatment of pricing for nonrenewable resources, especially fuels, I'm still inclined to say that there is a point at which the distinction is irrelevant. Whether or not nuclear fission meets this bar isn't clear (though I suspect it doesn't).

When the US was first making the switch from wood to coal as a principle fuel, in the 1880s, the argument in contemporaneous accounts was that a small fraction of the probable reserves of coal would serve all energy needs for millions of years, given that perennial caveat, at present rates of consumption.

What happened, of course, was that rates of consumption increased somewhat. Coal went from fueling a small number of structural heating, locomotion, and smelting uses to vastly expanded railroad, steelmaking, and most especially, electrical generation uses. Trainloads of coal arrive daily at power plants, still. Others are located at mineheads themselves as electrons transport more readily than lumps of fossilised tree. The Jevons paradox is a mighty bastard. By present estimates, again, at present values of consumption, coal reserves are estimated at 100-300 years.

At present rates of electrical energy generation, existing terrestrial (non-oceanic) uranium would suffice for fewer than two decades worth of energy use. When you factor in even probable growth due to:

- Extending Western standards of living to another five billions of the world's population.

- Expansion of total population from 7.5 billions to 11-12 billions.

- Continued "normal" economic growth at 2-3% per annum, that is, doubling every 25-30 years, roughly.

... the total energy requirements increase tremendously.

(Note that renewables also strain to keep up with such growth -- my sense is that the fact that incident solar power on Earth of some 7,000x present human energy consumption actually represents a dangerously narrow margin of safety.)

I'd worked out at one point the remaining reserves given some rate of projected annual growth, a fairly simple application of exponential math. The numbers are exceedingly sobering.

TL;DR: If there is some putatively nonrenewable fuel source whose reserves would extend to some point in time beyond the viability of some specified landmark (h. sapiens as a viable species, C3 photosynthesis on Earth, etc., variously a few million to about 800 million years), then the resource is not meaningfully constrained, and we can make reasonable use of it.

But given any notion of continued exponential growth, which is to say, a constant percentage increase in economic activity, given all available history, if not some putative but very-much-unproved virtualisation-of-activity hypotheses, that's a high bar to meet.
I'm glad you weren't hurt worse; an unfortunate college student at my university tried the same thing with a public transit bus stopped to let her off at a green light, and she did not survive.

The car passing the bus had no chance of seeing her, and there was no reason to believe anyone would be crossing against the green light. I think she may have had a pattern-match malfunction and acted as if she'd just disembarked a school bus. It was a tragedy all around.
I imagine most self-driving systems will have a higher success rate than human drivers. Uber's may not of been one of those systems though.
Help with Market Research – Survey
Not just felons, also everyone who works for a government under a fake identity like undercover agents and spies. Just think of cartels tapping into that resource and checking out new recruits: "So, how come you DNA shows you are the son of a cop, have an aunt at the DEA and a brother at the Sherrif's office?"
Saying that the source is "closed" seems a stretch though. Its certainly not free software any more. But even if it doesn't meet the official definition of open either (at least, for 3 years per contribution), there's still a lot of utility to be had.
It's not really like that. And if it is, try a different city or even country.

My theory is, if you are not desperate for money and the job market is reasonably good - go into the later interview with specific probing questions about their processes and policies. They might reject you as being "not a team player" or whatever - but if they do then its probably not where you want to work anyway.
You are confusing "source-available" software with "open source" software. Open source software is defined by the definition given here: https://opensource.org/osd

This license (BSL) is source-available, but it is clearly not compliant with the terms of the Open Source Definition, which Sentry acknowledges.

That is a must, I recently started skateboarding and wipping it up and grabbing the sanding paper-like surface makes my fp scanner not work for about 2 days!
Of course alerting could and was improved, but the Turkish accident wouldn't have happened if pilots had done the bare minimum of what's expected of them and monitored airspeed and altitude while they were flying close to ground and preparing to land any minute.

As said, autothrottle malfunction is a known unknown (with or without radio altimeter), something one can reasonably expect to happen, unlike the recent Airbus case where a bumpy landing led to loss of flight controls, something no pilot was trained for nor could reasonably expect to happen.

What's also important to stress is that loss of radio altimeter and autothrottle did not restrict Boeing pilots in any way. They had full control over the aircraft.
You're not answering the "How?" Who is providing the services? How are they trained? How do new people enter the field? What incentive do they have to provide a good job? What do you do if they do a shitty job?

Throwing money at problems usually means that the people providing the solutions make more money. It does not necessarily mean that the problems get fixed. In many cases, it means that those people now have more resources to ensure that the problem does not get fixed, so that the government will keep throwing money at them to mitigate it.
On the whole, while sad that it happened (it feels like a loss somehow), I think this is probably one of the better licenses they could have gone with.

As far as I understand there’s still nothing preventing me from forking their code, just from selling it for 3 years.
Not sure if this answers your question, but I heard someone talking about inequality following Price's law, which is also what all sorts of creative and scalable endeavors seem to follow.
It is no longer an open source license, and is now a "source available" available license.
Actually, that's not (historically) the case. From The Attention Merchants (a great book, by the way), page 12:

>"Day's idea was to try selling a paper for a penny...he felt sure he could capture a much larger audience than his 6-cent rivals. But what made the prospect risky...was that Day would then be selling his paper at a loss. What Day was contemplating was a break with the traditional strategy for making profit: selling at a price higher than the cost of production. He would instead rely on a different but historically significant business model: reselling the attention of his audience, or advertising. What Day understood--more firmly, more clearly than anyone before him--was that while his readers may have thought themselves his customers, they were in fact his product" (emphasis original)

His paper ended up being the New York Sun.

Just something to think about. It wasn't always like this.
Unless there's a good argument that managers and executives are somehow different than other employees

By definition managers/executives are different than (other) employees. That's why managers / executives can't unionize. That's why managers / executives represent the company, while the (other) employees just work there.

Clear now?

Wait. A 115 VAC socket exposed to the elements with no meter? How do you pay for it? Was it under lock and key?
Because then 2 months later a dev refactors the front end to only require one of the fields, and suddenly you have the gorilla holding a banana and the whole jungle when all you asked for was a banana.

AWS Savings Plans: New AWS cost management feature
This has started showing up in the AWS billing console:
https://console.aws.amazon.com/cost-reports/home?#/savings-plans/overview

Savings Plans are a flexible pricing model that offer low prices on EC2 and Fargate usage, in exchange for a commitment to a consistent amount of usage (measured in $/hour) for a 1 or 3 year term. Savings Plans provide you the flexibility to use the compute option that best suits your needs and automatically save money, all without having to perform exchanges or modifications. When you sign up for a Savings Plan, you will be charged the discounted Savings Plans price for your usage up to your commitment.

Savings Plans allow you to easily reduce your bill by making a commitment to compute usage (e.g. $10/hour) instead of making commitments to specific instance configurations. AWS offers two types of Savings Plans - Compute Savings Plans and EC2 Instance Savings Plans.

Compute Savings Plans provide the most flexibility and help to reduce your costs by up to 66%. These plans automatically apply to EC2 instance usage regardless of instance family, size, AZ, region, OS or tenancy, and also apply to Fargate usage.

EC2 Instance Savings Plans provide the lowest prices, offering savings up to 72% in exchange for commitment to usage of individual instance families in a region (e.g. M5 usage in N. Virginia). This automatically reduces your cost on the selected instance family in that region regardless of AZ, size, OS or tenancy. EC2 Instance Savings Plans give you the flexibility to change your usage between instances within a family in that region.

Get started with Savings Plans by accessing your recommendations and customizing the plan type, payment option and term.
Yes, however you are extremely and acutely aware of this. Your business depends on it.

This is not a long term solution though. You need to add people and take a break at some stage.
Self-driving cars are far away from matching human driver skill level right now. We do not need them to be "perfect" we need them to stop doing such a silly mistakes as described in the article - that is a very basic requirement before they can be allowed on public roads.
This sort of confusion is exactly why this battle is worth fighting.

The proper term for licenses like the BSL is "source available". You can view the source, but you cannot use it under terms which conform to the Open Source Definition.
It's just another layer on top of an already well built crypto system.

It can prevent someone that gains physical access to your yubikey from easily using the device.
It might not stop a very advanced attacker, but it at least makes things more difficult.
You have mangled your data there. That claim is incorrect.
Maybe we need a new license that is similar to existing open source licenses with the addition that it can't be used by FAANG.
The product page is https://aws.amazon.com/savingsplans/, but it's 404 for now.
If AWS decides to "adopt" your platform, and autoscale it, and undercut your sustainable pricing model because they have economy of scale, does it even matter that the source is available?

If you want a concrete example, take Redis. (and it was longer ago, but I think I recall something similar with mongodb)

Redis Labs offers a hosted cloud offering, Redis Cloud Pro. They literally run off of AWS, as near as I can tell just selling managed EC2 instances, with replication etc. Then Amazon launches ElasticCache, which is running apparently unmodified Redis code, with AWS-developed management software on top.

Redis changed their licensing following that launch, for mainly the same reasoning as Sentry mentioned - Open-source company sells managed hosting, uses that money to further development of the open-source software. AWS (or Azure, or Google) launches a competing service, contributes nothing back to the open-source software. It's not healthy for the long-term prospects of the community (but it's great for AWS investors bottom lines).
There are several ways to fix the materials issue, pursued by active projects. One is simply to replace the reactor core every few years; Terrestrial Energy and Thorcon are using that approach.

So I'll ask again: how do the numbers look if you compare today's wind/solar/storage costs without fossil backup to today's nuclear costs? We can argue until our fingers wear out about what the costs will be in eleven years, but there are hard numbers for today.

I've run a one-person business on my own servers for about eight years.

Honestly, the answer is learning how to manage anxiety and stress, particularly doing potentially destructive things under pressure. I think the psychological aspects of this are much more difficult than the technical ones.

If it helps, people are generally very understanding if you explain that you are a solo founder, and take reasonable steps to fix issues in a timely way. Most customers assume every company is a faceless organization; their attitude is much more forgiving when they learn they're dealing with a fellow person.

You cannot be on call 24/7 forever. You will burn out. If you can't hire someone you trust to take over part of this burden, then you have to accept the risk of sometimes not being able to log in for N hours if there is an outage (because you're camping with your spouse, etc.)

For very high-stress situations (database crash, recovery from backup) working from a checklist that you have tested is very valuable.

Good luck to you, and I hope you found useful answers in this thread!
Oh Hi California, I've live in your state and I can't believe we never met. To be honest I didn't realize you were a real person. Lets grab lunch sometime.
It's the fact that there are so many workers willing to work 24/7 whether out of choice or necessity and companies will almost always hire the guy that is willing to work nights and weekends over another guy with the same skill level who is only willing to work 8 hours per day.
Are you really sure that your big-company legal team won't want to review this odd situation?

Smartcard logins were a thing for a long time, especially in military. PINs are the norm, not the exception.
Great to see an article like this. This subject is almost suspiciously under-researched by journalists. There 's definitely something rotten in the promises that internet advertising has become somehow more effective. If that were true, wouldn't businesses notice? Wouldn't they spend a bigger part of their revenue on ads ? Wouldn't that return even bigger ROIs? Yet businesses spend roughly the same for over a century in ads, and it's not like the 2000s-2010s were the period of massive growth in consumer spending.

We need more of this research, please, because advertising is a huge deal for the health of the internet, despite its vilification. And it doesn't begin and end with FB+Google

Also: It would be nice if people who comment here and work for Google or FB declared their conflict of interest

It not being recognized as an official OSI license does not make it "closed source", their source code is still fully and freely available to customers who can continue to using and customizing their own modified versions as they see fit. None of which they could do if it was "closed source".

Their software also converts into Apache-2.0 after their conversion period, where it by definition also becomes available under a permissive OSI approved license.

> The mainstream media is overwhelmingly owned by the rich elite, with deep connections to conservative politics.

I'm going to have to ask for a citation for that. Unless you are suggesting that supporting the interests of the rich elite is an essentially conservative position (a claim which both the rich elite and conservatives would deny).

If you look at the politics of all the people (executives and rank-and-file) working in the institutions of media, entertainment, and academia, you'll find that a significant majority are left of center given the generally accepted notions of left and right as they are used in contemporary American politics.
