I saw Levandowski do a presentation of self-driving at an Uber all-hands and it was then and there that I knew that self-driving is 20+ years away.

The example video showed so many small things that we take for granted as a human driver that would need to be built in or hand coded that AI or neural nets would never be able to get. There just isn’t a way that you can train every single little thing that could cause an accident. For some things you just need experience and fear which I imagine can’t be modeled via any current AI.

Java's punishing startup times is not a red herring, and I'm dumbfounded someone in a forum like HN makes such a claim. Even in serverless applications like AWS Lambda, python and javascript enjoy execution times that are an order of magnitude faster than Java ones, even with hot starts and stuff initialized a priori.

I have said "molybdenum or tungsten".

Most living beings use molybdenum, but tungsten can replace molybdenum and it is used for this purpose by some living beings (mostly by Archaea).

It is pretty certain that the common ancestor of all existing living beings already had molybdenum enzymes, while tungsten began to be used later, as an adaptation to higher temperatures.

Nevertheless, there was a hypothesis that maybe before the oxygenation of the oceans tungsten was used in preference to molybdenum, because oxygenated molybdenum compounds are more soluble than oxygenated tungsten compounds while in reduced environments their solubility properties are reversed.

However this hypothesis is most likely wrong, because it is contradicted by the distribution and phylogeny of the molybdenum enzymes and tungsten enzymes, which are consistent with the universal use of molybdenum already much earlier than the evolution of the ability for water photolysis and with the gain of the ability to use tungsten as an alternative only in certain archaea and bacteria.

The earliest life forms were probably dependent on having ammonia and carbon monoxide in their environment, as sources of carbon and nitrogen, in which case molybdenum is not strictly needed.

The use of molybdenum enzymes enabled the use of the more abundant carbon dioxide and dinitrogen as sources of carbon and nitrogen. This achievement must have happened some time before LUCA (last universal common ancestor), which already had these enzymes.

Assuming the inflation rates are accurate (low inflation), these guys are getting into a risky proposition with a 1.5% discount (property tax still have to be paid out). I would not call it "free" money. These guys might not be as smart or lucky as they seem to be.

And yes, absolutely. Webcams - and actually cameras in general - REALLY struggle with back-lighting. Having a key light pointed at a wall so it's more diffuse and so it can cast a softer glow onto your face is ideal.

First of all, this is nonsense. The same old peak-blabla nonsense.

Second of all, thorium can be used in current reactors. Third, thorium is practically unlimited.

Existing nuclear 'waste' and nuclear bombs contain huge amounts of potential energy as well.

With newer reactors these limits can be further broken by moving from terrible utilization to much higher utilization. And lets not ignore that modern CO2 turbines can improve efficiency by a further 20% at least.

There is absolutely no limit to fission in any theoretical or practical sense.

Its arguably renewable as volcanoes transport new thorium to the surface.
Mortgages are being given away now that the mortgage rate is about the same as inflation. The mortgage is now the asset and the home is the liability. It is probably you can make more by paying off the mortgage then investing the down payment and try to bring that investment up to the level of the mortgage (plus having enough for capital gains tax).

It may be a unique situation in our lifetime that is only possible because the fed is buying trillions of dollars of mortgage backed securities while the base rates are already bottomed out.

However, the overall value depends a lot on inflation, how much property value will go down in the future in real terms (home prices in many markets are now at levels of the previous housing crises), and how much you have to spend to repair the house in addition to known fixed costs such as home owner's insurance and property tax (actually this rate may go up where state and local governments are insolvent).
Yes, although typically tacit collusion is introduced with the example of price matching at big box retailers. The setup in this case is somewhat different, although the outcome is still an equilibrium in which all sellers "agree" to keep prices high (and above marginal cost) without directly communicating.

Yeah that's why I normally write documentation in English instead of Greek. That way, when people read it, they don't need to learn a new language.

Besides, that's only half of my criticism. Greek is at least a full language where you have the flexibility to phrase things however you want and inject detail wherever you need. UML is a very rigid language which makes it hard to emphasize certain elements over others. A text has a reading order and a logical progression; UML is spaghetti.

If you're gonna write your docs in a different language, at least pick a good one.
"You have to compare the same high quality headphones, the amp with the same DAC, with the same recording, being played through a high quality filter bringing everything down to 44.1kHz/16bit."

I agree. If there is a methodologically sound study showing that people can actually distinguish (>50%) between 44.1kHz/16bit and 192kHz/24bit on the same hardware [at exactly the same dB SPL], then I will be really surprised. It's not physically possible to hear those differences, as far as I understand it.
Certainly agreed, for the speech that has nothing to do with any school activities. Your comparison about talking about throwing a game and the coach learning about it is apt; that sort of speech is essentially the same as your boss at work overhearing that you want to sabotage your work. I feel like the coach, or boss, taking action because they don't feel their player or employee has the best interests of the team or company at heart is well-warranted.

However, for speech that does not relate to any school activities (for example, taking your point of a student exercising their Second Amendment right) should not result in action against the student.
I've been there. I have moved cities a few times, and also spent long periods on the road. I'm also rather introverted, and at times I'm not sure if I'd even call it social anxiety. Nonetheless, I made it work. Here are some random, actually usable tips:

* Put an activity between you and strangers. It's easier to meet people when there's something to bind you together and fill the awkward silences. I've done a few: urban exploration, board games, bicycle rides, sports, classes etc. They all work fine.

* There are many networks that help you socialise: erasmus activities, hobby clubs, meetups, etc. They work well, especially if you are an active participant in them.

* Look for informal groups. I'm part of a few telegram groups centred around organizing activities. I found most of them through my local subreddit. They're easier to participate in than most clubs.

* Platonic relationships can also falter due to lack chemistry. You didn't say anything wrong; it's just a mismatch.

* It takes time. You'll go through a lot of false starts before you have a solid network of friends. That's true for most expats I have met.

* Don't hesitate to invite people for drinks. It's a great way to bridge the gap between acquaintance and friend.
I'm not defending the "right" in any means at all. For me, the term "cancel" means any attempt to ruin anyone's livelihood for saying or doing something considered "wrong", sometimes as a baseless accusation. It doesn't matter what political opinion they hold. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be of the opinion that the political "right" is the only group capable of being "cancelled". I disagree.

If I see something I disagree with on the Internet, maybe a joke gone wrong, I do not necessarily have to like it. But I will, nonetheless, celebrate that they are able to post what they have without facing potentially career-ending repercussions from the other side.
Growing up in PA I definitely experienced this. Some teachers were great, but I remember a particular few who would get noticeably upset, angered, and irritated when challenged or questioned by students.

The worst case I experienced was when a gym teacher was teaching a "graduation course" which was required to be passed in order to graduate. We were the first year to have this class, and I was in the first semester, part of the guinea pig group. We had a semester long project and the teacher in charge would not approve my project because it did not involve raising money for charity (not a requirement on the rubric). Some students sold t-shirts, some organized 5k runs, others wrote children's books. We were encouraged to make money for a cause, but it was not required. I wanted to build an Android app since Android was recently released, and I wanted to make something anyone could use.

The teacher repeatedly told me to go back to the drawing board, fabricating missed requirements that were not on the rubric. Only on the final day of project approvals did he say I needed to raise money, which was not a requirement (more like a suggestion or even trend). I never got the approval, so I shouldn't have passed, but he didn't bring it up the rest of the semester and never looked at my work afterwards.

Final day presentations, the principal (awesome guy who knew nearly every student) watches and asks what I thought about the class and I told my experience. They got rid of that "graduation project" class the following year, and the next semester had all new teachers for it. Half of the kids didn't even donate the money they made.

tl;dr - almost didn't graduate high school because a gym teacher wanted me to raise money as part of a project.
Things like that make me so irrationally angry. News websites are the worst
I prefer calling a graph "colored" rather than "with a labeling of the graph’s vertices with labels such that no two vertices sharing the same edge have the same label". Sometimes my graph being colored will be a problem, sometimes it will be a good thing.

Note that is just a parallel with colored functions, the "colored" word does not mean the same thing here (the meaning of "colored" in graph theory has little to do with the one used in programming).

Nonetheless, if I think that using this word is upsetting to some group of persons, whether I understand their reaction or not, I try to avoid using it. On the Internet it's difficult, because we're addressing ourselves to a very large potential audience.
If so (and I've often wondered the same) then it's quite a statement about how much better we might be able to structure our society to solve collective problems we are totally capable of solving without waiting for a major global disaster.

I hate the voice search on AppleTV for this very reason. I so wish that voice would just search within the app I am using instead of sending me to the itunes store or somewhere else. Why make me click and swipe extra times to get to the specific app search box...? If I want to search globally, I could just hit the home button and then search!
Typically the approach I take is monkey patch out the transaction methods (begin, commit, rollback) in the test harnesses and wrap each test in a real transaction. Some test runners have this built in.

Yes. See the Blackstone Group and its related investments in US residential housing.

The magical longer life and more efficient incandescent bulb was invented of course: The halogen bulb. It got around the previous physics barrier: That the hotter the filament (and therefore whiter and brighter the light), the more quickly it deteriorated to the point of failure.

To me, hot as they ran (fire hazard if used improperly) halogens were the pinnacle of artificial light quality. Of course I've changed all mine to LEDs now. The LEDs give adequate light and are better in every other way. But the light from halogen bulbs was beautiful.

For those using Java, it's also possible to achieve this using Testcontainers[0]. It's nice to have the test DB setup co-located with your test code, and if you're using JUnit it's really easy to manage and align the DB lifecycle, e.g. fresh DB for each test, shared across class, etc.

The article raises an interesting point. Ultimately, Googles pushing of 'royalty-free' AV1 for the greater good is just shifting costs to device makers and implementors that have to pay increased engineering and build cost instead of royalties. if it turns out to really be royalty-free that is...
IANAL but pretty sure that does not, in fact, qualify as fraud.
I'd argue that Java ultimately failed to innovate over C++ in the way that Python did. It added GC, but it's still clunky and hard to work with. In that sense, it's more of a pre-Python language, even though it's a few years younger than Python.
Yeah, that explanation calls on its face because it cannot explain low interest rates. If land owners have excess savings that drag the interest rates down why aren't they spending them to buy more land until interest rates rise? If they don't have excess savings why aren't they borrowing more money to buy land until interest rates rise?

The weird part is that if we assume that land owners are the only ones with the inequality, this is a self reinforcing cycle that keeps growing stronger to take over the entire country but yet somehow balances itself to keep interest rates and inflation low. They somehow control the entire economy and yet they don't have any effect on it at the same time.

If land owners are taking over the economy how come corporations were increasing their savings since 2000? https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/B057RC1Q027SBEA

In your defense, I'd say reading is put on a pedestal by our culture. Most would consider reading a book a more useful time investment than watching television, but I think it depends greatly on what book (trashy novel) and what television show (documentary).

Like, "plants like CO2 so more CO2 might be good" is naive, elementary school reasoning. You might as well say "cardio exercise is good for the heart, so maybe medically inducing tachycardia is good for me". It's a complete non-sequitur with no empirical grounding.

Somewhat off-topic, but this is exactly the kind of reasoning I see promulgated by a lot of conspiracy theorists, and more broadly by people who refuse to let go of outdated policies and ideas about the world. There is a certain arrogance inherent in the belief that you can understand anything just by thinking about it.

Are you saying that you believe that any negative consequence at all, against someone, should be allowed for their speech?

Because if the answer is "No, there are some consequences that I do not think should be allowed, against speech", then you believe that freedom of speech does mean freedom from some consequences.
