So a driverless delivery vehichle arrives at the destination. Now what? How does the package get from the van to the destination? Some sort of Boston Dynamics robot jumps out with the package(s) to navigate curbs, walkways, steps/stairs/elevators?

The actual driving of the delivery van is but a part of the delivery person's job functions.
What about people meet on Sundays to talk about ancient philosophy, with a few long-term goals such as ending hunger by working in food kitchens and raising money for other charitable causes? If these Sunday meetup clubs get large enough, maybe they can run hospitals or schools.

I think we should call the leaders of such Sunday Meetup groups "Priests", or maybe "Ministers".
Yours apparently doesn't, or the test is buggy. Chromium itself works fine. Maybe something you need to enable separately?

Sure, but there are certain things as which one should never dress up in Germany. Don't you think parents should think twice before letting their kids dress up as the displaced indigenous victims of genocide? Context and history matters.

If you delete your video from youtube, they have the right to store it on their servers until they want to get rid of it, and you're allowing people to use your content, i.e reactions videos, which are oddly popular these days.
A Weekend Out of Google Ecosystem with Huawei P40 Lite
Would there be a way to grade or allow someone to orient themselves on multiple spectrums for different skills related to the instrument or music in general? Grading inherently isn't bad, it's the gradient on a spectrum - however the way the word has been used as all-or-nothing pass-fail with the perception that your future access to education riding on it is of course terrible. But I would like to be able to orient myself somehow and I can imagine some insights and direction could be gained by being able to input the output of your music/sound generated into a system could be useful, so long as the output isn't presented in a harmful way.
It depends on the dimension you’re interested in. If you extrapolate population tech-literacy from here, you’re in for a world of disappointment.

I wouldn't say so, maybe slightly in that it might help with thought patterns a bit, but in the way that studying advanced mathematics might help not as in you're likely to directly use the skills.

The main infrastructure needed for a bitcoin running operation in a remote place would be:

* the mining rig itself. If there's a way to ship manufacturing product from the location, there must be a way to bring this in too. Pound for pound and liter by liter, this can't take more space or infrastructure to bring than aluminum or any other physical product I can think of.

* cooling. same as above.

* electricity. If you can manufacture aluminum, you have enough.

* small amount of on-site workers to perform critical repairs

Things you don't need:

* large custom-built machines.

* many trained/untrained workers to take care of the machines

* infrastructure that can consistently ship tons of material to and from a remote location all year round (mining rig upgrades consume much less mass/volume and can be batched to avoid shipping during rough climate seasons)
It's worth remembering that large groups of fundamentalist Christians left Europe to go to the "new world" to escape actual persecution or the perception that they were not free to express their form of Christianity. Culture IMHO runs very deep and lasts long after the death of the originators.
Some of the best Jazz pianists started out as classical pianists. Friedrich Gulda for instance, and Keith Jarrett.
I can sit down at a piano and immediately play any melody I know by ear, with reasonable-sounding chords, unless there’s some very surprising harmony involved. I’m not sure how sight reading would improve on that speed.

I’m also not sure why you assume I’ve never had a teacher, just because I haven’t bothered to learn to read notes well.

All the benefits you talk about in sheet music, you can also get from listening to and making recordings, and playing with other people.

Canada seems to perhaps be the #1 place that foreign money wants to own property - a stable, fairly rich country - resource and otherwise. The current measures to counter this are inadequate, along with countering the efforts of the local grown Landlord-Rental complex - which is compounded by foreign investment - and their rent-seeking behaviour.

I'd want to know the gender and race of the recipient VCs as well. Did female or Asian VCs have the same response profile as male or white VCs?

Apparently, both female and male investors had a slight bias towards female entrepreneurs, pg. 31:

"Both VCs and angels are more likely to respond to female entrepreneurs, although the difference is statistically significant only for angels (70% of our sample). Some angels in our sample are less experienced, as gauged by the number of investments they are recorded to have made. These less experienced angels have a statistically significant 13% higher interested reply rate to our female entrepreneurs, while the more experienced angels have an 8% higher reply rate and VCs have a 7% higher rate."

It seems a positive outcome, however, I'd like to go one 'why' deeper. Why did the female investors prefer female entrepreneurs (see fig. 2, pg. 29)? Were their reasons different than the male investors' reasons?

Also, why would less experienced investors be more likely to prefer female entrepreneurs than more experienced investors?
I've talked with Dr. Green about the parasol idea, we still need to do a stability analysis since L1 is unstable, how much effort will it take to keep the dipole in place given the solar wind can fluctuate by an order of magnitude in either direction of the average. It's a fun problem.

> very few stories in the Bible are historically accurate.

Outside of a particular brand of Protestantism which happens to be quite popular in the US, Christians doctrine doesn't hold that the Bible is a literally factual narrative.

But beyond that, which obviously doesn't quite cover the degree of divergence you seem to be suggesting, there are probably Churches you'd fit into without hypocrisy, though som
e might argue they they are only partially or historically Christian, e.g., some Unitarian Universalist churches.
Hmm...

First study:

"Minorities may be particularly likely to experience disadvantage when they apply to ostensibly pro-diversity employers."

That doesn't quite fit the narrative. Also, the study examines the practice of "resume whitening" as something that some minority applicants (less than 50%, so a minority) do to combat their expectations of potential bias.

It does not say anything itself about whether such bias exists.

Second study:

"Male recruiters’ perceptions of applicants’ work experiences did not differ depending on applicant gender. However, female recruiters perceived male applicants’ resumes to re- port more work experiences than resumes of female applicants."

So female recruiters discriminate against females, male recruiters don't discriminate. Also doesn't fit the narrative.

Third link only got me an error message.

Anyway, I don't think any of these studies actually supports your assertion.

> To me, the idea of an algorithm which detects when a driver is at increased risk (e.g. drowsy, or not wearing a seatbelt, or maybe using a phone inappropriately) seems like a fundamentally good move. And makes basic sense in any vehicle still piloted by a human.

I have a counter proposal. How about instead of trying to micromanage employees, companies raise the hiring bar?

If you don't want people working for you who break the rules, pay them well, and create a culture of inclusion and safety. I hear exactly the same complaints from friends involved in manufacturing where employees are constantly doing drugs on shift, showing up late, and abusing the system. Well what the heck did you expect? You pay them $10-15 per hour and treat them like they are replaceable robots rather than people. Of course they are going to screw you over.
What do you mean? I do not find it to be those, do not put words in my mouth. I simply mean it is inflammatory.
Show HN: Three Gratitudes Chrome Extension
Don't worry, I think the majority of HN readers essentially share your opinion. Possibly even the vast majority.

The people who get downvoted are the ones who say cryptocurrencies - as a technology - serve absolutely no purpose to humanity other than scams, fraud, laundering, drug trafficking, and other criminal activity, as well as useless zero-sum speculation and shuffling around of funny money, at the cost of country-level electricity use dedicated solely to generating and hashing pseudorandom numbers all day.

(Which isn't that far off the mark, but it elides the genuinely interesting aspects of the technological and cryptographic innovations, as well as the full potential of general-purpose decentralized smart contracts and all the current legitimate use cases. Plus the fact that Proof of Stake, if successful, basically eliminates the electricity and environmental problems.)
This may be a very naive question as although I have a good musical ear, I have never learned sheet music (I would like to, but it's difficult to find time).

I'm pretty sure that in the Prelude in C, all those notes have the same length. So then why are the notes at the bottom displayed as whites and those at the top semiquavers?
I did some math. Assuming 12x increase in prices as you suggest, starting with $50k and now $600k, 15% interest in the 80’s, and 1.5% today. Also assumes interest rates are steady in both scenarios. Obviously it is preferable to start high with greater odds of declining, vs start low and can only go up.

Total payments over 25 year amortization:

$50k —> $192,125
$600k —> $719,885

So yeah, interest rates don’t explain it. We are paying too damn much up front!

What did Bush do when September 11 attacks happened? United States responded by invading Afghanistan in order to fight Talibans and they brought Patriot Act in order to greatly tighten US national security; the act included three main provisions:

expanded abilities of law enforcement to surveil, including by tapping domestic and international phones;

eased interagency communication to allow federal agencies to more effectively use all available resources in counterterrorism efforts; and

increased penalties for terrorism crimes and an expanded list of activities which would qualify someone to be charged with terrorism.[1]

One of my favorite features of Ada 2012 are the design-by-contract checks taken from Eiffel[0]:

Preconditions: "a condition or predicate that must always be true just prior to the execution of some section of code or before an operation"[1]. It is up to the caller (client) to set up the preconditions and ensure that they are true before calling the code in question. If any preconditions are not met, it is the fault of the caller (client).

Postconditions: "a condition or predicate that must always be true just after the execution of some section of code or after an operation"[2]. The code in question guarantees that the postconditions will be true after the code is executed. If any postconditions are not met, it is the fault of the callee (supplier).

Invariants: conditions or predicates that "can be relied upon to be true during the execution of a program, or during some portion of it"[3]. Both parties must ensure the invariants hold.

These features make it very easy to determine where a bug is in the code and make it very explicit what is expected of the caller (client) and callee (supplier).

They act as run-time sanity checks and push Ada / SPARK code in the direction of Haskell function signatures and types. With proper preconditions, postconditions, and invariants in place I think it should be possible to implement a QuickCheck-style[4] testing system to provide some empirical checks if SPARK proof checking is not used.

I would love to see these design-by-contact features added to Rust, C++, and even C.

PRs at my company are pretty painless. We have automated tests covering a lot of the code so we don't need to analyse the code for ages before approving it.

You don't think bitcoin should be valuable. Your point is fine, but it really doesn't address the article at all!

Assuming bitcoin stays valuable, does it make sense to use bitcoin mining to augment some power projects? Like using otherwise wasted energy to mine or to mine in places where it might not be easy to transmit the electricity?

I have never heard of any use for a titanium-gold alloy.

On the other hand, titanium-palladium alloys are very useful because they have better corrosion resistance in various chemical media.

Palladium can be found in the iron-nickel alloys from meteorites and asteroids in relatively large concentrations, together with the other platinum-group elements.

I'll admit my ignorance of the grammatical complexities of Hungarian beyond the fact that it's highly declined and has a really interesting case system, though I will remark that the modern lingustics community generally ascribes to the theory that all languages are equal in complexity. (This isn't necessarily an established, of course, as complexity is something that will likely never be fully quantified).

Ultimately though, learning languages is kind of a paradox in the sense it's both fairly easy and extremely difficult at the same time.

A simple experiment on global warming
That's a generous interpretation. I'm not entirely convinced the author knows that it doesn't work this way. Some people do have a very simplistic understanding of money and value, and the quoted statement would "make sense" to them at face value. These are often the same people who say "free X" when X is funded by tax dollars.
I concur. I recall my father buying farmland in southwestern Ontario about 20 years ago for $4,000/acre. At the time, farmers rented land at $100/acre. Not a very good return.

Today? $25,000-$30,000/acre and farmers pay… $150-$200/acre. Far worse return. Yet there is a frenzy anytime land comes available.

It was the same for me until I really started practicing sight reading (there are special books for that). Just like learning the alphabet and how to read as a child, it took a couple of years of doing sight reading many days a week before I got good enough to sight read musical pieces. Becoming fluent at reading takes a lot of practice. And like learning to read and write in any language, it's best to do it at the same time while you are learning to speak and understand.

That's because for the left hand, the white notes are meant to be held for 2 beats. What you are hearing when you say the notes are the same length is that they start every semiquaver. If you see a player's left hand you'll see they get held for the corresponding denoted time.

Hey all, sometime last year I took The Science of Wellbeing Course at Yale (online)[1]. One of the proven ways that course taught to increase your wellbeing and happiness is to do gratitude journaling each day.

I didn't like any of the existing Chrome "gratitude" extensions because they simply suggested you log what you were grateful for, instead of actually making you log what you're grateful for each day. Three Gratitudes attempts to address this by forcibly locking your browser each day for 1 minute until you've logged what you're grateful for. After you log your gratitudes, your browser behaves like normal.

The extension is heavily inspired by the Momentum[2] extension. Hopefully people find it valuable.

$1.85m student purchase. Sounds like a perpetrator rather than victim to me. They could have bought something or rented near the university.
