>> Driver assist systems therefore ignore any objects which are stationary on the road

If true, that is totally unacceptable. Any mountain road can have fallen rocks. Any city road can have a child's toy be stationary in the road. And EVERY road can at any time have a live person, a fallen motorcyclist/bicyclist, lying crumpled up and stationary in the middle of the road. Stationary objects, whether on radar, camera or both cannot be ignored.

If the radar 'sees' such an object for more than a heartbeat or two, the car should take action. That's what any reasonable person does when they aren't sure what they are looking at.
People are bad at driving cars. People are impossibly bad in a fashion that can never on average be improved at monitoring a car they aren't driving and reacting fast enough.

60 mph = 88 fps. Reacting 3 seconds late is reacting 256 feet too late especially give the other 240 feet you are going to need to actually stop.

Blaming people for not doing something we knew people couldn't do seems pointless.
Was the washing machine broken before the replacement?
It's my guess that early brain-machine interface is going to require a fair amount of training and conditioning to interpret information across the interface. I think attempting to locate, isolate, and stimulate specific nerves that carry these sensation is going to be way more difficult than just exciting the receptors at the ends of those nerves. I'd anticipate "displays" emulating external stimuli preceding brain-machine interfaces.
"Tricks exhausted" means when the trick is no longer sufficient to keep apartments filled; when the only way to entice new renters is lower absolute rents.

No one is going to click on a $2000 apartment with six months free when the listings are full of $1500 apartments.
Idiots eat it up. They also worship a man-baby, so critical thinking isn't really their thing.
Sorry to hear that atleast you learnt the lesson early. The big flaw is understanding the myth of the "price of oil". There is no such thing. There are grades and dates and delivery locations and the price of storage. You are trading to one point in this multi-dimensional space. In normal times it appears in just one dimension - time - but it times of stress, it explodes.
Stereoscopic vision ≠ depth perception. If you don't have any visual depth perception, you're probably blind.
It’s also a matter of habit. We are just too used to English words even when French ones exist. Go try and read Principes d’Implantation (sic) de Scheme et Lisp (the original Lisp In Small Pieces): pure unadulterated French and, to me, a constant struggle as I have to translate expressions to English!

Yes and no.

Yes for many embedded microcontrollers.

Not so sure for larger devices with possibly several ECUs and in the field upgrades. All of the sudden the whole thing becomes a tiny data center with several nodes, and the architect needs to value some flexibility over clear cut single purpose.

In automotive, embedded is transformed in this way.

Given the circumstances, I would say you're never going to know the truth about these deaths with the possible exception of documents declassified or admissions of guilt decades after the fact. The question is if you are a political activist, is do you take these deaths seriously even if you can't prove they are foul play? Given the record of the government, I just can't rule it out.

Whats 20% helped you most
I've been doing some thinking about the 20/80 rule, and was curious to see what others thought too! I spent about 1 year building up a product without getting any clients, did this happen to anyone else? I finally managed to transition and make the first sales when I focused on the following:

I'd like to preface this by saying that I was in charge of the business side of things and product design, but not development.

Looking back realised that my 20% was sales and lead gen:
•Hiring Sales Development Representative to generate new leads.
•Doing some lead gen myself.
•Doing PPC based lead generation.
•Looking for companies and targeting them personally.

If you guys also have good ideas on how I could generate more leads for our product that would be awesome https://www.parceltracker.com/internal-parcel-tracking

I want to move away from the PPC and paid acquisition channels!

> but you have to admit that the first few protests and property damage drastically influenced the quick arrest of an officer that may not have been arrested or even fired if it didn't happen.

Why, is there evidence of this? It isn't very obvious to me that he wouldn't get arrested and charged otherwise, this case is way clearer than any other controversial police killing I've seen.

As Apple's Bonjour page points out, addressing and naming is only 2/3 of it. If that's all you support, then you still depend on users knowing the name, and typing it with no mistakes -- not exactly "zero configuration". 1980's AppleTalk was better than that.

How do browsers 'support mDNS for name resolution'? Isn't that a feature of the OS? I can "ping NAS.local" (without a DNS server) just as easily as I can go to "http://NAS.local", and ping.c doesn't appear to have any mDNS code.
This question actually shocked me.

At least as East Asian ppl who speak Chinese, Korean or Japanese etc, it's way easier for us to discuss CS (or anything else) in native languages.

I think this difficulty only exists in certain western languages.
Most of CS terms in Russian are loanwords from English with the same meaning but slightly different pronunciation.
When you do manage to reach a real person though, more often then not you get to a point where even that real person is constrained by the system within which they operate and they are not able to help you.

Is that any more uncharitable than cstross's comparison with East Germany?
For my PhD thesis, I was required to write an abstract in my native language, German, and had a pretty hard time of it. On the other hand, I've experimented a bit with high school level CS teaching, and found that with sufficient preparation, it's fairly doable.

I suspect that when we struggle to express a concept in our native language, we may have somewhat deceived ourselves in how clearly we expressed the concept in English. I notice all the time that people think they are more profound in a foreign language, when it's in fact precisely their lack of familiarity with that language that disguises the banality (A phenomenon also known as "quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur").

Somewhat related, I see people cursing in foreign languages…

A human brain?

The debates about LIDAR etc. aren't that they're needed to pilot cars effectively on roads in the abstract but that they may be needed in the absence of a high level AGI to reach acceptable levels of functionality. And they may not be enough of course.
I think you should read up on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). There are quite a few people that would argue that printing money is not an issue as long as the debt is held in the same currency you're printing the money with. In theory, you could continue to print enough money to pay off the deficit.

The argument against that is that printing money will cause inflation. While this is true to an extent, it is not always the case. Only about 3% of money in circulation is actually "cash", while the other 97% is credit or a balance in a bank's computer system. Cash + Credit = people's ability to spend. When credit dries up, people aren't able to spend as much. In order to keep the system running the fed can print money to counterbalance the reduction in credit. The amount of money in the system stays the same, it's just that there's more cash and less credit. This is done to ensure that people continue to spend and keep the wheels of the economy turning. Printing money is not always bad.

Also, it's important to understand that while printing adds money to the system, taxes take money out of the system. The taxes the government collects don't actually get recirculated back into the economy. Remember, lots of taxes are paid electronically, which is just a debit on your bank account and a credit on the government's balance sheet. It's not like they're taking your physical dollar bills and spending it again by handing them back out. That money leaves the system and is effectively "destroyed". The government just goes ahead and prints the same amount of money again to balance everything out.

A "balanced budget" means that the government spent or printed the same amount of money that they took out of the system with taxes. While most people would argue this is a good thing, you have to realize that if there's no change in the amount of money in the system, people's wages and wealth effectively remain the same. Inequality can quickly creep in as certain populations of the economy amass more and more wealth. With a balanced budget, it is always a zero-sum game, with a winner and a loser.

By running a deficit (spending more than collecting in taxes), you're raising the amount of money in the system. A rising tide lifts all boats, and so more money in the system means more spending, more jobs, and people earn more. More people can build wealth and live a decent life. Of course, it's a balancing act though. But when done right, it can raise the living standards for all people in a nation.

This Thiel-influenced not-going-to-university thing has got quite tedious. It's as if people think the only thing worth learning is coding and entrepreneurship.

If all you want to learn is programming and to a lesser extent computer science then I guess you don't really need to. However if you want to learn science, medicine, law, mathematics or any other real subject then of course you should. Plus if you want to have fun meeting new friends, getting wasted, and meeting sexual/romantic partners.
This is honest and good advice. While, I would not recommend anyone trade on margin or even trade individual stocks, but if you are going to trade leveraged stock etfs then this is a far more honest way to go about it.

The leveraged ETFs just give you the illusion of trading leveraged while siphoning away your capital in drips.
If a market's survival is incumbent upon screwing-up new technology for everybody then I say "Let it die". It it means having draconian laws that tie up the most precious products of human toil in too-lengthy "protection" terms, to the point that works of culture are lost, then I say "Let it die".

Not being able to make a living producing something that no one will pay for sounds very much like a natural, preordained process to me. I can't make a living manufacturing buggy whips or operating elevators anymore. Technology made those jobs go away. It's sad perhaps, from a nostalgic perspective, but the world moved on.

If a business model needs "defenders" in the face of technological change then it's no longer a viable model.

I don't believe a transactional model is the only one that can work. It happens to be convenient for a certain type of creator, but that doesn't mean it's the only one.

I will clarify that I'm most certainly not anti-copyright. I think a lot of value can be derived from a copyright regime based on a more balanced social contract. US copyright law, and those who have "harmonized" with the US, has shifted much too far in the direction of favoring the owners of "intellectual property".
The agent must have been clueless since TWICs are on the list of approved forms of identification.
The issue from a moderation point of view is whether it would lead to a substantially different discussion. In this case we can be pretty sure it wouldn't. If you want more explanation about how we approach this kind of thing, I've written a lot under the heading "significant new information" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...). The intention isn't to demean any submission or belittle the news in it—not at all. It's just that if you consider the following three things:

1. We're trying to optimize for curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

2. Curiosity and repetition don't go together (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...)

3. Frontpage space is the scarcest resource on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

... it follows that we need to minimize repetitive threads on the frontpage.

You’re missing the point that IA is a library, and, as such, is awarded certain protections that an archival site might not otherwise have.
I'm Flemish, so I speak Dutch. Since it's a small language, at university, most advanced courses used English (or French) books. There are a lot of concepts I cannot even start to explain in Dutch. I just don't have the vocabulary.

I also was really shocked to learn later that there are programmers who don't speak English: I once interviewed a French developer who didn't know any English. He explained me that all his courses were in French, so there's no need/opportunity.

You could have been slightly more informative by explaining that this is the new name for the conference.
I am not nitpicking. The original poster said: "Congress (with good reason) doesn't get to shape the boundaries of constitutional law (for example the doctrine of qualified immunity we're discussing here)." and that the power to shape the boundaries of constitutional law is "specifically and only in the hands of the court." His assertion is flat out incorrect, and I responded by saying that Congress has plenary power to shape the borders of constitutional law. Why did I say this? Because Congress has the unique ability to amend the constitution.

Your sarcastic comment is exactly my point. If Congress has the power to make something literally part of the Constitution then they literally have the power to shape the boundaries of constitutional law because they literally have the power to rewrite the Constitution. And if Congress is the only entity with that power then their power is plenary. Which is to say that the power to shape the boundaries of constitutional law is not something that is specifically and only in the hands of the Court.

> What's missing with only cameras, if humans can do it?

The human brain - which can respond to novel situations in a reasonable way without prior training.

E.g. if I put you in a truck in the middle of a field, you’d be able to successfully drive around without being confused by tall grass. You’d also successfully avoid dangers such as cliffs/boulders even though you may have never done it before. If you can figure out how the human brain does that, we’d be one step closer to general AI.
I often use English CS terms prefixed/suffixed for Russian inflection embedded in a grammatically correct Russian sentence. (Russian is very flexible at adopting foreign roots within in its grammatical framework.)

There are "official" Russian translations of most CS terminology, but they often feel too long, too formal for casual conversation, or sometimes even too ambiguous.
If doing good to the people sucks, a lot of people who want to do good but can't endure the suckyness would not go for that.
But it doesn't matter if the sensors on the market don't work in bad weather.

You still need to rely on cameras only then, to get the job done as good as humans can.

It's possible that the current state of AI is not enough, but current LIDAR technology won't solve that problem.

Same thing happened in Croatia in the 90s. Silly words were introduced and then people made up even sillier words to make fun of it leading to insanities like:

- čigrasto pamtilo "peg-top-like memorizer" for a floppy disk

- čigrasto velepamtilo "peg-top-like big memorizer" for a hard disk

- stolno potezalo - "tabletop pull-arounder" for a mouse

After a while, nobody was certain what was a real term and what was a joke one, so most of it is abandoned now and mostly English terms are used.
Apparently the airbags didn’t deploy, which is a serious problem.
The fact that you use the word "liable" is telling, because QI does not protect someone from illegal actions they take while operating as an agent of the state (or at least it shouldn't/wasn't intended to). It sets up another obstacle whereby if you want to go after an agent of the state personally for their actions, you have to be able to prove those actions are illegal before you can even start talking about their liability.
One anecdote where their “Largest Contentful Paint” metric fails, and fixing degrades performance:

We have a large 300kb animated gif that takes up maybe 20% of the viewport above the fold. The gif demonstrates visually what our service does.

A couple months ago Webmaster Tools reported that page as being “slow” pointing to the large image download. So we decided to show the first frame of the gif as a (30kb) png file, and then swap in the gif 2 seconds after the page is fully loaded.

Except now the new “largest contentful paint” metric is failing on those pages because it includes the 2 second delay when the animated gif is swapped in. I guess technically they’re not wrong in how they’re calculating it.

In fewer words, Google doesn’t like anything being lazy loaded if it’s above the fold.

The metrics and how they’re calculated are questionable. We ended up optimizing for Google and removed the lazy load (ignoring that we think it’s a better UX to lazy load that specific gif).
How would go about building an online store in 2020?
Right there still a need for apps and browsers to surface mDNS services but the parent comment made it seem like the browsers can't use mDNS at all.

You're are correct, mDNS name resolution is an OS feature and to the browser/program/app it makes no difference.
