Being in a traffic accident is common but lethal accidents are rare. In a modern car it’s actually pretty hard to get yourself killed - you need some kind of high speed collision. Getting rid of those is the challenge.

Technological improvements in cars is a factor, but improvements in infrastructure is probably more important.

When I got my license 20 years ago, there were few roundabouts and on lots of roads there was oncoming traffic. I did overtaking where I needed to judge the timing with oncoming traffic to do it safely.

Now 20 years later I almost never overtake with oncoming traffic (as in a few times per year with 20000km). Highways are separated, often into “2+1”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2B1_road

Not because I drive slower or more safely but because there just isn’t a need.

There are almost no big 4 way intersections with 2 roads having speed 50kph or over. They are converted to roundabouts (thousands of them).

This is Sweden - but it’s pretty much the same story.

> ONE was an actual terrorist

I have the disadvantage of not being able to read the article, but the headline, at least, says he's a suspected terrorist, not an actual terrorist.

I know this was in western Europe, not the US, but in the US, the distinction between "suspected" and proven is really very important, because we have a strong track record of suspecting innocent people of being terrorists.
SEEKING WORK | Remote | Based in FL

Looking for really part time (like 10 hours a week at most) supplemental work doing architecture or coding. Long resumé available upon request (previously worked at GitHub, Apple, FireEye, others), but my main expertise lately lies in Ruby/Rails, Go, and Swift. I have experience with a ton of different languages (a lot more than listed above), architectures, databases, cloud setups, etc. so chances are I can contribute to your team in some fashion. :) I've done work from infosec (white/grey box audits are a favorite) to adding features to helping shape architecture of a legacy system trying to move to something new.

Landlords can't ban their tenants from criticizing them (even if they identify themselves as a tenant).

Hospitals can't ban their patients from criticizing them (even if they identify themselves as a patient).

Airlines can't ban their passengers from criticizing them (even if they identify themselves as a passenger).

The general rule is that if an individual is in an economic relationship with a large institution, it is important for them to be able to comment publicly on that institution. This is needed to address they myriad, well known ways that institutions can do stupid or even evil things. It is especially important when there is a huge power imbalance that tends to perpetuate sick institutional behaviours.

And so: Companies shouldn't be able to ban their employees from criticizing them (even if they identify themselves as an employee).

Agreed things are way better now than ever before. One thing that is rarely brought up though is nuclear weapons. It feels like the problem is so big and old that we feel like we can't deal with it.

In reality the risk is very real and still there. While everyone is focused on global warming which will take decades to manifest. All out nuclear war could end human life on earth in a matter of hours. All it takes is the push of a button. Could be malicious, could be accidental, could be a software error, could be a lot of things..

What looks like a 'pretty good time in history' could be an entire society in denial, oblivious to the fact that it's teetering on the edge of extinction.
One-quarter doesn't sound like much to me as a sheep farmer. Our herds double-to-triple every year, and then get cut way back again as we turn the lambs into meat. Pigs have even more offspring: 5-6 piglets per litter, 1.5 litters per year, and can have their first litter at 8 months. "One-quarter of the pigs" should be replacable in less than a year, a minor temporary supply shortage for the meat market.

EDIT: I don't disupte any of the facts of the article, and my use of the world "minor" is from the presumption that people might infer that this is a long-term problem, rather than an acute and quickly rectifiable one which seems "minor" in comparison to a long-term one.
I got a demo of this two years ago, and honestly I don't think it matters that they aren't sharing these numbers. Any company that is going to consider this is going to want to benchmark it on their own models and systems, and as long as Cerebras allows that they aren't going to have trouble finding customers (assuming their claims line up with reality).

Even if that doesn't work out most of the people on these time have built companies that were acquired by either AMD or another chip maker.

> That is the real insight here.

To me, the insight is that the less you care about the future of your "product", the less time you have to put into it.

I look at the linked site, and all I see is "Minimal". I don't see any viability, I don't see a product (identifying what's being sold takes a few clicks). I also see a bevy of GDPR violations. I see an ADA (or the EU equivalent) liability. I, as a security conscious developer, forsee a disaster of a security story.

I see human scaling issues, as everything slightly out of the ordinary that happens requires an email to an address which is on the surface completely unrelated to the site itself. I also see 842 social media trackers blocked with standard FireFox settings (though I guess that falls in with GDPR violations).

I also see some potential legal liabilities, as all of the agreements are between the users and "Bethan Vincent". That lack of separation could put the owner in a lot of hot water should any of the above liabilities become a reality.

Most of these won't - can't - be solved with a technological re-write. A lot of them will require a fair bit of re-writing the entire business model.

Yeah... I dunno what this article is trying to teach me from a database interactions perspective. It's unclear whether the JavaScript is executing client side or server side. The final code block seems like a really inefficient implementation if not constrained to some existing API.

Of course not, but what's the point? Who complains that Signal doesn't run without Google Play Services are the kind of users that wants to run a mostly free distribution of Android (like LineageOS) without any Google software on it. Saying well you should buy a more closed and proprietary system that can run Signal without Google software is nonsense.

They might be equally loud somewhere, but certainly not on HN. Also not in most EU countries as far as I can tell, but I don't presume to speak more broadly than that.
Couldn't you just pair your computer with your phone (or something that you keep on you) via blue tooth, detect the loss of signal, and then trigger whatever action you'd like to trigger?
We are developing a social app with features such as messaging, notifications etc. We decided to use Yedis [0] (Yugabyte Redis) which is a distributed Redis with persistence backed by RocksDB. Yugabyte supports multiple datacentre distribution. Yedis's pub/sub is distributed as well. We are already running a Yugabyte cluster for data storage in Cassandra. So we didn't have to do anything extra to get our distributed pub/sub up and running. Would you recommend using Pulsar instead?

For context, this is the malware which Saudi Arabia used to gather the conversations with journalist and activist Jamal Khashoggi that led them to decide to brutally murder and dismember him in their embassy. If there was ever any moral justification for keeping the users who'd been compromised in the dark, I reckon it died with him.
This fits perfectly into the narrative of yesterday's discussion on HN [1].

Deep Neural Nets are somewhat of a brute force approach to machine learning. Training efficiency is horrible as compared with other ML approaches, but hey, as long as we can trade +5% of classification performance for +500% of NN complexity and throw more money at the problem, who cares?

I see a dystopian future where much better and much more efficient approaches to ML exist, but nobody's paying attention because we have Deep Neural Nets in hardware and decades of infrastructure supporting it.

From my experience it's incorrect to think of psilocybin as some magic pill that will magically make your depression go away.

I'm in the camp that depression is rarely just some "chemical imbalance" in the brain that you were unlucky to be born with, and yet that is how we currently think of it and treat it.

It's most often the case there is something in one's past, very often from one's childhood, that has been avoided, and creates a chronic sense of worry/anxiety/depression that lingers.

Psilocybin has the effect of ego death - it feels as though the subconscious hold you have on your brain that pushes down uncomfortable feelings or memories just goes away. This paired with therapy can be very powerful because you naturally become much more open to talk through distressing things that you otherwise normally numb over and helps you process past traumas much more efficiently.
Yes they do. It makes the process more complex and lengthier though, so they'll most likely focus on Swiss/EU/EEA candidates.
Is there such a thing as an "HTTP connnection". Maybe the author means "TCP connection"

Maybe "Quick UDP Internet Connection" (QUIC) in the case of HTTP/2

QUIC appeared after the publication of another UDP-based, congestion-controlled protocol, CurveCP and used ECC by the author of CurveCP

QUIC seems tied to HTTP, whereas CurveCP, initially used for DNS, is application-agnostic

What are some other applications besides web browsers and web servers that are using QUIC

First of all, financially and statistically speaking, working at a startup almost never makes sense compared to working at a FAANG or similarly high-paying company. (There have been countless articles and discussions about this on HN, so I won't rehash the arguments.) Second, there are other reasons for working at a startup that have little or nothing to do with money (it's more fun/rewarding, you learn more, work/life balance, etc). The latter doesn't really have a parallel in investing unless you only invest in sustainable/ethical companies or something like that, but then the conversation about maximizing profit and beating the market is kind of moot anyway.

> Or take any compensation in the form of equity in one company, even at a large one.

Public stocks are liquid enough that you can sell them as soon as possible and immediately "cash out", so any equity-based compensation at a public company can reasonably be treated as cash. The same applies to a private VC-backed company with an upcoming IPO, though obviously there is a little bit more risk involved there.

I think you are missing the joke...

I imagine that if English is not your first language, it would be easy to miss this, since the joke plays on multiple meanings for the phrase "can't complain".

Usually, in this context, "Can't complain" means "life is good".

However, in this joke, the secondary meaning of "Can't complain" indicates that "You can't complain about life in soviet Russia, because if you do complain, you get in big trouble".

Basically, this indicates that life in soviet Russia was NOT good.
MDMA, Ketamine and LSD sure, but mushrooms have been in use for spirituality far longer than mainstream clubs have even been a concept.
Yup. I think Google needs to hire the PR people from Microsoft and pay them rockstar salaries. Microsoft does far worse things than Google yet they manage to hide from the public eye much better. Bing works and censors in China. Microsoft doesn't care what employees say about their clients. Whereas Google gets immense negativity for a not yet live "dragonfly" project, and even very small scale US military projects.

Windows 10 broke new ground in privacy violations in a desktop operating system, but things are much farther away from the public eye. Even for something like deprecating services, Microsoft shut down their ebook store, where users had paid for the books, and yet their brand value doesn't get impacted as much as Google's.
Talking about privacy of a system that requires you to sign up with a phone number, that in my country (and in most other European countries as far as I know, and without talking about non democratic regimes) is required to be associated with your ID (it's illegal to buy a SIM without registration) is nonsense.

And you know another thing? Email works great to me, and it's decentralized. I have my email server, with my domain, so I don't depend on anyone to provide me a service. I have full control of my data that is on my server. I can even send encrypted emails with GnuPG without any problem, and it's as secure as Signal, if not better. I can use whatever client I want, a fancy application, a web interface, or as I do a small CLI program since I don't use graphical user interfaces.

Sure, having a chat protocol that is decentralized like email would be great! I wish that Matrix will evolve in something usable in the following years, we need that. I need a chat application where I can have a client that I can use in my terminal, and Signal doesn't do that (Telegram does, for example, since the API is more open, and it's what I use second to email).

Did anyone else find this solution to be hilariously technical, whereas a simple cleanup might’ve done the trick? Very cool, but struck me as very funny.
When we ran into a similar use case we went with writing to S3 and using S3 SNS notifications and consumers could subscribe their SQS queues to that.

Having said that, assuming Pulsar has a similar feature to Kafkas log compaction I can definitely see the appeal!

Also the fact that SQS Fifo doesn’t integrate with this setup is super annoying.

It's fine, but you should know that pretty much everything Moxie and Signal talk about contrast sharply with Wire.
