obviously at that point people start to question if ownership is necessary given how easily and quickly you could summon a unit out of a fleet and only pay for what you use. And thus uber for self-driving-cars was born.

Longer term traffic could probably be reduced by autonomous-only roads/infrastructure that has less need for traffic lights, etc.
There's also some evidence Greenwald had been planning to leave The Intercept before this collision [1]. The outrage over 'censoring' a clearly bullshit story seems pretty convenient.

It's a simple fact: a distributed/p2p application that cannot be monetized does not generate revenue.
Thank you! I'm in the same boat and think that it's a great potential way forward, with very little friction - it can work on any random blog without me having to trust them with my payment details. I hope more people pick up on it ( and tried to help with an article that somehow got to #1 on HN, but the comments were mostly negative)
> The idea of IE being purely an "outdated" browser seems to be one perpetuated by young devs reading & misunderstanding old blogposts.

That’s certainly not true: it was indeed outdated for much of its life. Yes, through IE6, it did things differently; beyond that point, though, it simply fell behind. It stopped evolving in any meaningful way—with the possible exception of tabs being introduced in IE7–while other browsers continued innovating.

From IE6 through IE11, Internet Explorer wasn’t just doing things differently; it was truly behind. Tasks that could be achieved without JavaScript in other browsers requires JavaScript (or worse) in IE. Eye candy like gradients? Maybe you could get away with some of IE’s custom CSS extensions, but you had to get lucky or change your design.

I may be young by your standards, but I vividly remember developing for IE5 and IE6. I even remember changing my plans for a project when Chrome was announced. IE really isn’t that old.
Funny enough, reductions of the causal relation to a counterfactual one is a common theme in philosophy (and adjacently in statistical sciences - see Pearl). Most philosophers would contend that a true counterfactual can be sufficient condition for causation, but not a necessary one. From that seed there are quite a few different accounts (David Lewis' being the most famous) that attempt to reduce cauation to counterfactual relations + something else:

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-counterfactual/

Its still a somewhat live debate in contemporary philosophy.

The medicine saved the patient's life is true if the patient would have died had the medicine not been administered. How do we determine the truth of such a counterfactual?

In practice we do large scale randomised trails to attempt to simulate a counterfactual to test the causal powers of the the medince - but its probably beyond our powers to know for certain that the counterfactual is true in the singular case.

Philosophers are interested in what makes a counterfactual truth or false, and whether understanding a counterfactual presupposes causation or whether a causation can be understood in terms of counterfactuals. Nobody doubts that counterfactuals and causation are releated, and few doubt that counterfactuals can be reduced to their logical or epistemic counsins.

> It even passes the "works just as well without adblock" test.

From a visual perspective yes. However i must note without a JS blocker snowden's article from yesterday will weigh 2.41MB, including 1.22MB JS file, which is insane! Disabling JS brings it down to 1.16MB where images are the heaviest files, with about 40-210KB per image, which is reasonable.

So, despite all the bad things i think about that kind of industry, i must recognize that their website works well without JavaScript, does not block Tor users, and is not excessively heavy to load once you have disabled JS. I'm ashamed to say it because it should be the minimum quality requirement for EVERY website, but congratulations on making an actually usable website in 2021. That's apparently become such a technological challenge that most VC-funded startups are incapable to do it.

It almost makes me want to pay a subscription! But of course i won't do it, since Substack is not a non-profit. There's no reason i should subsidize evil capitalist shareholders with the little money i have to live, i'd much rather use it to support artists and developers directly via liberapay, opencollective and other more ethical venues that do not encourage centralized hosting of content.
My car has level 2 (ACC with steering) and I've found that the whole process is extremely stressful and hard for me. Initial problem was that I did not trust the car to actively steer, brake and accelerate while keeping me centered in the lane.

After a while that wore off but you still had to be hyper vigilant as the system can "fail" at any moment and you need to be in control immediately. I find it harder to do than regular driving as in level 2 you need to "drive" and pay attention to whether the system has stopped working properly or not.

It's an incredibly frustrating. I'm surprised people buy cars just for this capability. I love safety systems but this is just a disaster waiting to happen.
If we wait for autonomy on the sleeping level, thousands will die due to drunk and distracted drivers. It's a much better plan to roll out partial autonomy to aid in accident reduction ASAP. Falling asleep in the car sounds like a vacationer's privilege, not a preventer of thousands of road deaths yearly.

I'm going to give a fun alternative example.

I used to run some popular publishing websites around entertainment: gaming, movies, tech...etc.

I talked to our first users entirely through our message boards, which had PM systems built in. The regulars were there almost every day and I got to know them fairly well. We'd talk daily and I used the message board to show off new designs I was working on. Eventually they started their own fan podcast (this was 2008 or so mind you) and I'd show up as a guest to support their love of the websites. They'd be surprised I'd show up. Me? I was surprised they went to so much trouble to support my site.

Eventually we just hired a bunch of these early users at interns. One we hired permanently, and others we helped get jobs within the gaming industry. I don't see them that often in person anymore (I've since moved) but I'm happy to see them with their own thriving careers and consider a couple of them friends.

I sometimes wonder if the move away from message boards and towards larger communities like Reddit and Twitter would have allowed for this kind of clubhouse atmosphere. It's one of the bits of the old Internet I occasionally miss.
This is a personal opinion, but I'm actually really glad Apple are dragging their feet on this.

I absolutely despise presumptious software that feels entitled to my attention as and when it chooses. I have my browser set up to wholesale reject all push notifications, I don't let the vast majority of my apps send me push notifications, and any application that feels entitled to pollute my inbox (email already has an awful signal/noise ratio as a communications medium) with useless email alerts gets uninstalled or unsubcribed from immediately. Frankly browser notifications should never have been a thing, it's just another varient of the spamdemic that plagues the modern software landscape. I'll look at your software when I choose, and if the software starts dictating that it gets removed or silenced without exception. I honestly don't understand how most people stay sane with their phones and laptops pinging and flashing away like a pinball machine all day.
In my experience, Google largely bets that the pixel won't live that long, considering how quickly after 2 years my Google phone broke.

Problem with these is they move along a fixed route, especially in low density areas they're extremely slow relative to driving.
The problem is with fixing the prices on the sellers end. You’re leaving money on the table by not allowing for price negotiation. A set price essentially tells everyone below that price point that your store is closed so don’t even bother. It also gives away your content at a discount to those who would gladly pay more.
I guess it depends on what Element is trying to replace.

If it's whatsapp etc then yeah, I agree, it is not going to work. But if it's Teams or Slack or something, then I don't see much difference.
I don't think it is meant to be a whatsapp replacement, I think it is a generic chat tool that lets me integrate all my services in one place - kinda like Pidgen.

As you say, maybe this cash injection cam let them get a mobile client that can work as a whatsapp replacement (as I guess that is what most people are moving from)
Huh? Human drivers rely on hundreds of hours of training to safely and reliably handle most traffic situations, and still frequently fail to act appropriately in unexpected situations. We also get brain farts or fall asleep at the wheel and flatten the occasional pedestrian. According to the National Safety Council, the chances of dying from a motor vehicle crash is 1 in 103. Human driving isn't some impossible to pass benchmark of excellency - it's an endless shitshow of human tragedy.
Why are self driving cars synonymous with general AI? That is what they used to say about playing chess before Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov.
"Matrix explodes" --so pretty unstable software then?
The difference is that we can agree upon a set of measurements and a procedure for comparison (eg using difference of Gaussians) to determine how much of “copy” the recorded is to the original. We can repeatedly conduct this experiment (copy->measure->compare) and with high confidence we’d obtain a numerical value that can act as a “proof” it is a “copy”.

My argument is that not only that we do not know a way to conduct such category of copy->measure->compare experiments for human subjects, even with advancement in BCI, etc, it is perhaps impossible to conduct such experiment due to some nature of consciousness that we do not yet understand concerning “information”.

I used the word “mimicking” earlier as apparently when concerning “information” with humans, a (somewhat) “conscious” act has to be performed for the whole phenomenology to be interpreted as that of “copying”. We are encoding “information” in an extremely none-“traditional” way as information is studied and made sense of in computer science.

Similarly, the notion of “semantics” opens up two categorically different sets of paths for inquisition in programming language theory vs linguistics. There is something mysterious and trippy about what “meaning” and “information” really are (eg in regards to qualia).
The nice thing about open standards like web push notifications vs. proprietary apps' arbitrary logic is that the open standard version puts users in control.

The browser is free to refuse every notification request AND make websites believe the notifications have been enabled. Unless smartphone OS vendors are kind enough, you can't do that with app notifications.

It seems you're arguing against the concept of push notifications itself, not whether the native or web app implementation is better.
Agree with this.

Personally, FSD and similar claims have been one long "fleece the investors" exercise.

We're nowhere near where I'd get into the back seat of a car and let it drive me.

It’s recognizing that giving up control of the trusted base means giving up control of the device. If that option is available, people will be tricked or coerced into using it, or it will be done without their knowledge – as evidenced by all of that being done not uncommonly on desktops.

I think a better angle is pushing for relaxing software distribution: keep the trust chain but let people run apps in the normal sandbox even if those haven’t gone through the current process. Exploits are still possible, of course, but the normal controls allowing user awareness of the device’s status would be intact.

I wouldn't call that "installation", just "setup". Installation implies some form of (local) persistence.

I avoid setup screens as much as possible. I close many of the websites linked to on HN but I'm not accepting these newsletter popups and neither should anyone else.

Websites will keep doing this for as long as people accept this behaviour. Depriving our browsers from useful features is not a solution, it's merely digging our head into the sand and pretending the real problem, problematic and aggressive marketing and data trade, doesn't exist.

You're not wrong, but at the very least it'd be handy to have self-driving at least on, say, highways. It could help with traffic flow efficiency, as well as help eliminating traffic waves:

* http://trafficwaves.org

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_wave

In cities, perhaps streetcars/trams could be made self-driving at least. Labour is a big expense in transit, and if we want more frequent service (which could encourage ridership), then scaling more drivers may not be economical.
To compare apples to apples you need to distinguish the two risks involved: how much do I trust the driver (human or otherwise) not to have an accident and how much do I trust the driver not to abduct me or generally act maliciously.

Uber drivers and today's SDC rank quite differently on those two risks

A car that perfectly moves through traffic but intentionally drops you off in the most crime ridden area it can find is gerenally not considered in these scenarios.

Oh, so they’re ‘rebooting’ it. I wish they would hire a writer with the imagination to do something completely new without all that baggage. …I agree - there’s darkness in Columbo, but it’s much subtler and is tempered by the kindness and charm of Columbo himself. I see why they do it, but the ‘just one more’ episode netflix-thing easily gets tiresome and ends up prolonging some plots/story arcs unnaturally and unsatisfactorily. The little of ‘Discovery’ I watched I felt no engagement with at all - the writing I thought was generic and boring and the characters seemed two-dimensional - but maybe I’m just behind the times: ‘Enterprise’ grew on me a few years down the line (though not the opening theme!)

DRY is much more than just not copying code verbatim. It's also about not defining the same logic or concepts in multiple places. This duplication can be a real problem since it introduces a very strong, hidden coupling between the duplication sites (they need to be kept in sync).

In other cases, accepting some copying can be fine rather than introducing awkward explicit dependencies.
