Government absolutely do care what you do with the frequencies. The UK government auctioned 5G frequencies for a specific purpose. It took great pains to clear these frequencies, they weren't just lying around unused.

All the protocols you listed are open for adoption by various manufacturers. Apple absolutely would not be allowed to use them for a private protocol they keep to themselves. Airwaves are a public good, not private property.
They even come with coverage obligations.

Britain’s Productivity Decline Is the Worst in 250 Years
What I learned in my career so far is that all these things that supposedly harm your resume are actually good things; they serve as a filter for exploitative and undesirable companies.

For example, I bet the real reason why Amazon didn't hire you is because they want to hire people who are afraid to take any time off; people who don't have a personal life. They want people who they can fully control.

The requirements of a company says a lot about the company. Having a 'bad' history can actually help you in finding the right job for you. For example, I'm pretty sure that if you put in your resume something like "I want to get paid a lot for minimal effort because I'm lazy" and you distribute a few thousand copies of your resume, you will get responses and you will find what you asked for.

The worse your history is, the fewer responses you will get; you can easily mitigate that problem by scaling up the number of resumes you send. You have to be prepared to move cities and/or countries though.

IMO, if 10% of applications result in an interview offer, you're not doing your job search correctly. You need to design your resume and your strategy so that you only get less than 1% response rate.

Gaps in your resume are useful in filtering out undesirable companies. Also, changing companies often is also good for filtering out undesirable companies. You want to work for companies who think they're special ("not gonna happen to us" type of thinking), then after you start working for such company, they're more likely to give you a raise when you ask for one because once inside, your history of quitting gives you leverage; they know what will happen if they don't give you a raise.

Tesla Insurance Review (2020)
O(1) Labs | San Francisco, CA | Protocol Engineer, Reliability Engineer, Product Engineer | Full Time, Internship | Onsite | https://codaprotocol.com

At O(1) Labs, we're building the Coda Protocol, the first cryptocurrency to have a constant-sized blockchain. We use recursive zk-SNARKs to compress historic state in Coda's blockchain so that nodes don't have to store all the data going back to the first transaction. Compare this to Bitcoin or Ethereum whose blockchains already have hundreds of GBs of data, and keep growing.

We're excited about this tech because it allows all the nodes in a network to be full nodes (no SPV's!) and enables applications that can use the entire blockchain embedded in a phone or a browser. We're well funded and backed by some of the top investors in the crypto / blockchain space.

I'm on the product team, and we're looking for both product and protocol engineers - but you can find all the roles we're hiring for here - https://codaprotocol.com/jobs.html. Our stack is OCaml on the protocol side, and ReasonML + React on the front-end. All of our code is open source - https://github.com/codaprotocol/coda.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want to meet in person for a coffee, if you're based in the bay area. My email is pranay@o1labs.org.
It certainly will be, once the ocean is boiled = as soon as self-driving cars begin to comprise a significant percentage of cars on the road.

This, in the long run, is a selling point that seems to be missing from most discussions in this comment section.

> who would you hold responsible?

The legislature? Corporations obviously pursue profits within the legal framework, and this is the most profitable path within the legal framework. Lawmakers can challenge or reduce this sort of abusive pressure by content publishers in a number of ways but they don't. The current legal framework seems to tacitly allow publishers to effectively move as a bloc in punishing any platform, whether it's by Google or someone else, that refuses to accept their anti-consumer practices.

But of course you can keep blaming one corporation. Bad Google, why don't you just voluntarily do what I want, profits be damned?! See if that changes anything.
The radar can't see stationary obstacles. Autopilot has already killed people because of that.
I think fear of China is a common bogeyman to throw out to try to avoid tech regulation. And I don't feel it's a very compelling argument: Tech monopolies squash newer, more innovative competitors. The monopolies are holding us back. For all of the innovation you may believe tech monopolies have accomplished, it pales in comparison to what we'd accomplish without them in a competitive environment where the best technology wins, instead of the biggest monopoly.

The ability to foster rapid, zealous competition is the strength of capitalism and it's what we have over China. We need to get the established corporate entities using their market power to harm competition out of the way.
Because they can, of course. But it's still hard to imagine a third-party product (e.g. OpenShift) being cheaper than $0.10 per hour.
No, it was DXM. Which is technically a dissociative, not a psychedelic. But at high dosages, it can have many similar properties to psychedelics, and the experience of a "bad trip" is very similar.

I was stupid and took way too much without being prepared. My comment isn't really meant to be a "don't do psychedelics kids", but a warning story for those that might decide to be dumb like I was. If people are going to do them, respect the drug, do low dosages, do lots of research, and follow harm reduction guidelines. The alternative is the potential to experience a level of suffering that's really completely unimaginable.

If you're a big media company, you don't want to file a DMCA notice every time someone uploads a pirated video on Youtube. Even if you use the most sophicated bots to file real DMCA takedowns, you're bound to have at least a 1% error rate and get sued a bunch of times.

> So Tesla has the advantage of collecting a huge data set of real world data now

Do Tesla owners know about this? Is this an opt-in feature?
This has been my take too. The whole hackathon and hiring effort screams to me of "we have finally concluded that a LIDAR-less implementation is impossible within our lifetimes. We hope one of you has at least a Hail Mary that we can burn money on so we can at least pretend that it may still be done. Anything to keep us from having to refund millions, dealing with a huge class action, seeing the stock halve, and Elon having to admit that he's something of a charlatan."

And that's just on the decision to not use LIDAR because "it's dumb", not the whole concept of self-driving as it has been marketed being decades away.
Air worthiness is determined by the FAA. In this case, the aircraft are only considered not airworthy when the flight plan calls for landing on one of those runways. Operating them in any other configuration is A-OK.

As to why the bug exists, who knows :)

Edit: Clarified slightly.
Florida has been a popular destination for multiple large hedge fund owners from Connecticut, (Paul Tudor Jones, Eddie Lampert), and many ultra rich NYers are moving there as well. I wonder if CT and NY would get less inequal in the next few years as they have both increased taxes (CT in 2015), (NY in 2019) and the Trump limitation for property taxes write offs have made living there more expensive.
What if a bridge is drawn over the tunnel?
I think Djeikstra was talking about our limited ability to reason about what program actually does by looking at it source code. FP helps but there is still a long way ahead of us. For example I can create spaghetti code in any language and any programming paradigm. FP helps me to eliminate state, next big thing should help me to eliminate unclear and complex control flow, bad abstractions and clunky API’s.
> ML has advanced so much in those 5 years that all my prior experience is totally irrelevant to them

Most people involved in hiring are either not involved with the work being hired for, and thus have no idea about that side of things. Or else they're total amateurs at hiring itself who have, by virtue of having some measure of authority over it, deluded themselves into thinking they are awesome at it.

Arrogance and bias will lose you an awful lot of qualified applicants.

It's not even that hard to work around that problem, if you're willing to shut up and listen. You can easily factor an objection as a concern instead of shutting them down entirely, which lets the applicant either show you that it isn't a major problem after all, or respond in a way that confirms that maybe it is.
I think HN would be a more productive environment if downvoting required a responding comment to address the disagreement. In this case, I provide detailed personal experience with individuals that confirm the points I'm making, and it's downvoted. Certainly improper, unproductive, snarky, flame-ish comments are often downvoted, but all too often I see comments downvoted that are simply making reasonable points that someone finds convenient to ignore and downvoted rather than engage in meaningful discussion. I would implorer readers to always downvote and respond when they disagree, and only blindly downvote when the content is in some way counter to the community guidelines. And heck, even then a brief explanation would sometimes be useful to help the commenter understand where they went wrong.
It's a software bug that affects 7 runways worldwide due to a combination of heading and lat/long.
Nim memory management is tied to the type you use.

You either use:

- an object. Which is on the stack and is either trivial or uses destructors and is suitable for embedded due to deterministic memory management

- a pointer object. Which is a raw pointer like C *. Managed directly via raw malloc/free or Nim malloc/free. Suitable for embedded

- a reference type. Which is managed by one of Nim GC or is an error if you use gc:none

I'd say more like something between Rust and Scala, or Rust and Java. That's not a bad thing. I really like Swift.
I assume a bank would say a great banking application is good enough to prevent users from leaving for other banks, i haven't encountered a US bank site that bad (i do sometimes have to disable Adblocker to use bank sites).

I assume a bank would say a great banking application deters the user from calling the bank to talk to someone (bank doesn't want to pay money to staff someone to talk on the phone).

I think banks had to race each other to get online 15 years ago to serve millions of users which explains why a lot of their products feel outdated. If its not broken don't fix it mentality. I assume reeducating users on a new bank site design could force banks to forgo interest/penality payments and things like that.

Considering banks are involved, people are constantly trying to break in, so security is definitely priority over usability.

In the US at least, mobile apps are already used more than desktop apps, so i assume investment will continue to pour more into mobile apps while desktop users will be stuck with more outdated technologies.
The bigger problem is anyone using trigonometry (instead of vector methods) in practical geometry code, where not absolutely necessary.

If you go poking around geometric code (cartography, computational geometry, physics modeling, graphics, ...) and hunt for places where trigonometry is used, you’ll find lots of errors where the programmer didn’t consider the behavior in every edge case. The vector alternatives are simpler, more efficient, more numerically stable, and a lot easier to reason about.

In Germany, they are.

As far as I am aware, among all the Euro countries, Germans are particularly fond of cash.

Since I work in an area that is related to finance (think in the direction of planning/writing business applications for the banking sector), I seriously very often get asked (in Germany) whether one should cash out all the money from the bank account and store it in a strong private safe to avoid the negative interest of the banks that are in the wind.
pjmlp said "supported", no "support". He and I were talking about the past. We're allowed to do that - to have the subject be what we want, rather than what you think it should be.

In fact, the article was about Pascal circa 1981, so I'm not sure why you think the discussion ought to be about present-day Pascal.
> Yes these quarterly numbers are in the best conditions and supervised, no that doesn't invalidate them...

That is exactly what it does: it invalidates them. Comparing apples to oranges is an invalid comparison.

Let's compare the numbers again when there's sufficient data for self-driving tech driving in all environmental conditions without supervision and without human assistance jumping in whenever it gets rough. At that point, a comparison is valid. Until then you're comparing someone who aces tests with someone who is just doing good, but the first guy is only solving first-graders' multiple-choice tests and cheats by asking a friend who graduated at a university whenever a question pops up that isn't "choose one of these three", while the second guy is on his own in the middle of his college education.

>They make their money from enterprise software

AFAIK they don't, though. Dropbox is still primarily getting its revenue from consumers, not b2b. They have been attempting to pivot to serving more enterprise customers, but are struggling to get traction there.

Given that, combined with the second part of your comment, kinda makes the parent comment's point.

Car dealers over here are also "DMV deputies" for lack of a better translation. You bring your license, they type some things in their computer, print an ownership document and you get your car. The more permanent (creditcard sized) ownership card thingy will arrive in the mail a few days later.

Insurance is indeed mandatory, but you can get it online in 5 minutes. Or by phone. They call it "drive away coverage" that works immediately but requires signing the final policy etc within something like a week.
> statistically safer, by a fair margin, than human drivers.

Considering other utility unlocked by autonomous cars (e.g. less stress, life-hours freed up, helping the disabled) they could even be marginally less safe than human drivers and still provide a net benefit.
You can get a strike from a DMCA notice or YouTube's internal system.

The difference between the two systems is that the DMCA has language about fraudulent claims, whereas wading through the ToS and contracts you have with YouTube will be nigh impossible. A lawyer might take your DMCA case where youtube wouldn't really be directly involved, but nobody is up for a fight with YouTube directly. It's never worth the money to these YouTubers at their current scale.

Either YouTubers need a union as powerful as the major media cabal to bargain with YouTube on their behalf or some particular publisher needs to be making movie studio money before this system is fixed.
Agreed. It also said it was running at 13fps. Not stoked about a vehicle going 70mph updating at 13fps.

It affects airworthiness because the displays went blank when certain ILS approaches with heading 270 were selected. This is unexpected and would require the flight crew to fall back on other instruments.

The FAA routinely issues airworthiness directives for all sorts of safety issues. Here are a few others published in the past week or so:

The same way we convince any other industry? Don't provide new features to old browsers. Include the costs of doing business with older browsers accurately enough in your support contracts (especially don't undervalue your time, workarounds, polyfills, etc). Find ways to help your clients with upgrade assistance (are there IT contractors you can recommend to your clients that they might hire for short term upgrade projects, such as maybe helping them upgrade vendors who are possibly even your competitors?). And so forth, anything to better help your clients understand (and incentivize) not just the obvious security risks but the economic trade-offs in supporting older tools/languishing in the supposed "easy" status quo.

I can't tell you where the magic ROI line is for you. Maybe you have to make the hard choices like "If we go this route [only evergreen browsers], we lose ~16% of our customers immediately, but we add X% feature/stability/maintenance improvements to our remaining ~84% customers, and hopefully one day we'll see at least some of those 16% come back to us the next time they get a chance to upgrade, likely in Y years." It's a business decision, and you don't always have to meet customers where "they are", you can make the tough calls and ask your customers to meet you in the middle. How angry that might make them, and how much business you might lose, is always going to be something you have to determine with your market in mind.
Tesla is only one of several players in the game. Waymo is generally considered to be better and safer at the moment.

"one can envision an era in which guano-doped graphene is used instead of platinum in fuel cells and electrolyzers, with huge societal impact not only in clean energy production and a cleaner environment but also on rural economies as guano once again becomes a valuable and highly sought-after product."

There is one at the center of my hometown. Easily the most iconic thing in town. I spoke with the owner about possible things to do with it. He explored some options, but the cost to get it up to code would take decades to recoup. He was able to pay to preserve it by leasing it out as a cell tower. Surprisingly, you really have to look for the low-profile antennas to see them.
Doesnt have to be sunny South California. There are tons of Teslas in PNW states where it rains all the time, and it still works great. I regularly commute during rain, and have encountered zero issues so far. I know it is anecdata, but at least it is supported by other numbers, such as high numbers of Teslas on the roads here.
Safe rust code is allowed to panic, the standard library does in many places, and the language does if you overflow normal arithmetic while debug assertions are on (if debug assertions are off, overflows result in wrapping instead).

What safe code isn't allowed to result in is undefined behavior. Panics are defined, they just happen to be defined to print an error message and abort the program (by default, slightly simplified version of how they work).

By the way: If you want to handle overflows you can use methods like `checked_add`, or you could do something like the suggestion for division by zero and create a wrapper type that always does `CheckedI32 + CheckedI32 -> Option<CheckedI32>` (or something). I might implement `Option<CheckedI32> + Option<CheckedI32> -> Option<CheckedI32>` as well so you can delay checking for overflow/division by zero until you want to use the result of the arithmetic.

The board is the only group that can hold executives accountable. May they should bring in someone that has experience running companies that do the right thing, for the long-term best interest of the shareholders.

They don't need any more of this get big at all costs, move fast and break things and money can make things go away - nonsense.
I would like to clarify that my comment was actually not explicitly comparative in nature. It did not mention a past or future administration. It did not mention the administration of a different country. If you disagree, please quote the part of my comment that makes a comparison to, well, anything.

What bothers me about this line of thinking is its suggestion that because corruption is common, observers and interested parties should do nothing about it and remain uncritical towards abuses of power.

In particular, it discourages criticism in partisan ways: "Your politicians did it so our politicians should be able to do it. Everyone is corrupt so what are you complaining about?" When partisan ideology normalizes corruption all you end up with is more corruption.
As an Iowan, I felt a tinge of pride when I noticed that.

Perhaps why I've never really understood all the uproar about income inequality. Maybe it's just less of a problem here.
