You often have access to it, it's just a higher price (sometimes double) because it isn't subsidized by advertising.
I'm guessing that's the calculation they've made: that they'll be able to retain more business this way than they would if they went bitcoin-only.

Something sounds fishy here. The car changing speeds without anything prompting it and swerving in and out of lanes is not behavior that would be seen if it was driving on Autopilot.
Compared to 2009?! You don't trust Coinbase in 2021 any more than you did Cryptsy in 2013?

PS if you want to do the whole "volatile prices!" fear mongering you can do WAY better than 50% price drops. You also accidentally criticize the US dollar here, USD saw a 30% decline in the early 2000s and analysts predict a possible decline of 30-35% in the broad dollar index soon. Is that how a currency "should" hold its value?
This highlights a meta-problem of highways in general: they're very high-speed conduits, which are not intended for traffic to whiplash to 0 MPH in a short distance, where accidents and emergencies can definitely create roadblocks that force traffic to whiplash to 0 MPH over a short distance.

It'd be nice to have a solution to that. There are no inexpensive ones (rails handle this with corridor control... Every N miles, a signal indicates whether it's safe to proceed to the next segment. Some sections of highway have signage allowing for this; most don't).
Huh.

one of the founders and current CEO Jason Citron had a previous org called OpenFeint, which:

> was party to a class action suit with allegations including computer fraud, invasion of privacy, breach of contract, bad faith and seven other statutory violations. According to a news report "OpenFeint's business plan included accessing and disclosing personal information without authorization to mobile-device application developers, advertising networks and web-analytic vendors that market mobile applications" [1]

Of course that doesn't mean anything about the current model of Discord, but good to be aware of.

I suspect the revenue from passengers in this case looks like a rounding error. But the PR and feedback from early adopters is very valuable.
Half of a counterpoint, I fall under the data science umbrella and any current dissatisfaction boils down to application domain (and anything that falls into tech worker gripes which aren't specific to data sciences at all). Given the right organization there's interesting problems to solve, plenty of results to visualize, important company directions to point out, enjoyable literature surveys, etc.

I've seen plenty of roles out there where it's more data analyst style work which appears to be more plug and chug work. None of those appeal to me as well it takes the scientist bit out of the role. No real exploration, you know? Analytics companies sit somewhere in-between and seem to have some similar grinds, but once you get to the level where the data becomes very complex the problem space becomes humongous. At that stage things are more limited by where management decides they want to have things explored than the role itself.

The general domain has problems and can be an ethical minefield, but it's at least interesting enough that I plan on sticking around for a while under various job titles in the same space.

Also folks making similar comments are missing that funding is about the future of the product/business, not just scaling growth (though you do see with later stage funding).

Something like Postman is a bet on enterprise tooling for APIs, both building and integrating with them. Looks like Postman has gone beyond their chrome extension, and leveraged that to add more a bunch more features. But even if all that was easy enough to build, the investment is really about the trend and the business ability to capitalize on the trend. VC investment is always more forward-looking than the current product state.
There's a powerful sci fi short story I read in an anthology quite a while ago (I believe called The Flying Dutchman) describing a crewless bomber being repaired, fueled, taking off, bombing its target, landing, and then doing the same thing again. As it describes this repetition, you slowly realize that humanity has long since been wiped out and the bombing runs are automated systems repeating themselves. (That's my memory of the story, anyhow, I read it in the 80's :) ).

(Edit: found it, "Flying Dutchman" by Ward Moore, it's from the 50's and you can find its text online with those terms)
Please note that merely seeing some place in the brain activate in a functional MRI task does NOT necessarily mean that that location is either necessary, sufficient or even involved in representing information relevant to that task. Functional MRI amplifies small global signals related to arousal, and if arousal changes during a task then these arousal-related signals can propagate over much of the brain. And even something as simple as an eye movement can be correlated with global changes in arousal. (A similar problem occurs with attention.) Unfortunately many of the most common modeling and analysis methods methods used in fMRI have no way to distinguish these rather uninteresting arousal-related changes from those that are actually informative about task-specific processes. The bottom line is that whenever you read about any fMRI result, you should ask yourself whether that could be a mere artifact of changes in arousal (or attention), and if so you should find out what was done to address this potential confound.
If you can't slow down in time to avoid hitting the car in front of you when it slows down, you're tailgating, and are a danger to yourself and the cars around you.
Seizures and strokes behind the wheel is far more prevalent then people think. I can't speak for the entire USA, but having had a family member who suffered for that for years, the second someone has seizures, doctors usually work to revoke their licenses immediately.

So yes, Autopilot does saves lives. We know how many people have died with autopilot on, and I suspect it's a fraction of thoose who die with it off. Autopilot does some things poorly, somethings far better then a human can do. It's a technology with it's strengths and weaknesses. In my case, I was on autopilot driving through Denver, when the car suddenly swerved out of the lane into a adjacent lane. I freaked out thinking the system was going wonky.

Turns out that some drunk "street driving enthusiasts" decided to have a Race on I-70, and one of them missed that the lane he was trying to merge into from my rear right was occupied by a truck. It was in my blind spot, so while I was paying attention to the front of the car, autopilot was monitoring where my eyes could not.

In californium, I was driving a Tesla in Cueprtino on a fairly busy highway but late at night. The car started doing it's "pay attention now" beeps, a second before I realized that someone was driving the wrong way on my side of the freeway.

Would either of these been a fatality? Probably not, but possibly so.

People fall asleep all the time behind wheels. They plot into parked cars all the time. They drive in the wrong side of the road. They plow into emergency vehicles.

Anything we can that makes things safer is nothing but good.

I bought a early Model 3 - and i will tell you that Autopilot is night and day better now then it was. The evolution wasn't in hardware, but in software. As more people use it, the software and hardware get bigger.
Only if "has medical emergencies" is independent from "drives to work." My guess is more medical emergencies happen in hospitals than on the road, even though the average person spends a lot less time in the hospital than on the road.
Rider is incredibly fast and superior to VS in all aspects but one - its debugger is terribly broken. VS will break on my line of code that crashes. Rider will crash somewhere completely unrelated. My code is very much async, that might be what kills it.
I ended up doing everything in Rider, but debugging in VS.
Sure, if there's a blizzard or heavy rainstorm that blocks the cameras. Happens in Florida all the time. Rain so heavy the cameras can't see anything but a gray wall of water. In that case AP will emit an annoying audible alarm and disable itself, at which point you are steering the car manually.

In these conditions, human drivers will "follow the taillights" but I don't think Tesla allows for that yet. If AP can't see outlines of objects due to heavy rain/snow, it cuts out.
That's weird. Do you have a link to the job posting?
Sorry I should have clarified this comment was addressed at the claims in the article that most of the brain is activated even for trivial tasks...
Unfortunately doing bad things to get rich isn't always illegal, and a lot of the times the parts that are illegal are hard to prove against institutions who have professionally been getting away with it for a while.

Payday loans come to mind - they definitely aren't illegal, have tons of predatory practices built in, but are universally (at least in my experience) seen as a scam.

I've been told by several people that used to work at large payday loans company: "Under no circumstance should you or anyone you care about get a payday loan. Go beg for money, steal food, whatever you need to do to survive, but never get a payday loan".

So the vast majority of the US has either significantly worse weather than SF, or a significantly harder ODD than SF?

Could you elaborate on that?

Which is very subjective.

New reddit is certainly more modern than old reddit, but I find it kinda ugly.

But then goes on to describe using Cassandra and overcoming sharding and stability issues. I.e., changing the key, changing TTL knobs, adding anti-entropy sweepers, and considering switching to a different cassandra impl entirely.

Are these issues significantly harder to solve in MongoDB than Cassandra?
>>unlikely unless the lane demarcation is extremely bad

Which is the case.....a lot of the time actually? At least here in UK the lane marking is frequenly so bad that my Volvo Pilot Assist disengages because it can't see the lanes anymore - and I'm like yeah, duh, I can't see them either.
It would be interesting to know what portion of medical events happen in a car. So many things are less likely (eg whole driving you aren’t using a knife to cut up dinner, or cleaning leaves out the gutter), but so many are worse (eg if you are going 100kmh and you faint).
I mean, sure, but that's one tweet. 40 tweets in a row that you're supposed to read in order, comprise one large whole, nothing "micro" about it. I actually respect when someone follows the rules as it were, and spends the effort to post one tweet that conveys a lot concisely with a little. That to me is deserving of the label microblogging. Although unfortunately right alongside that is all the idiotic shallowness, sloganeering and fascistic tendencies posted by people who are like "thank god, a place where the format is as tiny as my thoughts." That's fitting a little into a little, so if there's a counter-argument to be made legitimacy-wise, that's it right there. But spreading something longer over a bunch of tweets, that's just regular blogging, on the wrong platform. I'm not fooled. It's a nuisance. Like when someone decides to pay you $5 as 500 pennies.

This effect is reduced by the fact that there are multiple romanization systems in use.

Even taking that into account, the diversity is quite low. There are a lot of Chinese characters, but very few of them are actually used as surnames. Less than ~500 names are shared by more than 95% of the population, and most current surveys arrive at way less than 10000 in active use. There are two- and three-character names, but because of their low occurrence they are even more vulnerable to various processes that reduce the diversity of family names.

Chinese family names carry great significance. They were often assigned as rewards, and people adopted different ones for various reasons. This makes their distribution and future development subject to more than random chance.
When AP looses the lane lines, and then re calibrates (usually due to very poor markings), it starts beeping rather insistently that you take over immediately.

If you have lane detection on, Teslas will steer you back into the lane, if you start drifting off, even if auto-pilot is off. (This alone is a huge safety feature).
Asleep on the wheel could cause some issues.
It's not up to Samsung to allow bootloader unlock or not. There will be exploits that will allow for a bootloader unlock or worse unless they allow for it.

Besides, we don't have to be happy with the status quo, we can legislate for bootloader unlocking to be allowed.
There’s a short film that has the same plot - I assume based on that story. I don’t remember the name.
It's not weird, it's just populist grousing. Reduce your discontent to a meme, and it will spread to every discussion that ever mentions 2008.

I have some opinions about who should have gone to jail (I'd start with the ratings agencies), but that doesn't rabble-rouse quite as well as 'Burn Down Greedy Goldman Sachs!'
Agreed, though I'll add that on the very rare occasion that my Model 3 does lose the lane lines a bit, it tends to very quickly jerk back into the lane once it picks up the lines again. "it drifted slowly to the left, into my lane, before slowly going back into its own lane" does not sound like plausible autopilot behavior based on my experience; even if it was on autopilot and accidentally left the lane, it wouldn't slowly go back to it's lane, it would sharply correct itself as soon as it found out what happened.
Per point 1, after interviewing a good few candidates in the space I think that most of them just don't have the backgound to effectively handle version control (it's more complicated when working with evolving datasets), automated reporting, or reproducible builds. They might have a CS background, but not the software engineering skills to execute any of those tasks effectively. So, whenever there's a time constraint from management they're going to skip those more formal software engineering practices to the organizations longer term detriment.
Very true, but retrofitting good transit into a city that didn't plan for it is extremely expensive and disruptive. I see these kinds of services being a great complement to public transit in cities that have struggled to make them attractive.

For example, I am way more likely to take Cal Train into SF if I can use a point-to-point service like Uber/Lyft/Waymo to get me the rest of the way there. Without that missing link, I'm much more likely to just give up and drive instead.
> I'm actually surprised and optimistic to see the major manufacturer Trek start building their own brick and mortar shops in certain major cities,

Wait, wasn’t this always the case? I recall multiple Trek stores in the Toronto area at least a decade ago. I always though this was part of their model (vertically integrated retail), although other stores did sell their bikes also (exactly like Apple).

I just bought a Trek bike at a local Trek store a couple months ago and it definitely wasn’t a new store. Looking now, there are six (!) Trek stores all over the San Diego area. That’s actually more than the number of Apple stores IFAICT.

Maybe they are just expanding this model to some other part of the world?
True. But mechanistic “solutions” can also be used as a crutch that allows us to avoid asking the right hard questions. I started my career as an electrophysiologist studying a big chunk of the thalamus referred to as a visual information “relay”nucleus. In 40 years I have never seen anyone question this “relay” function seriously. I am reminded of the phrase from Princess Bride: “I don’t think that word means what you think it means”. “Relay” is a crutch to mask ignorance. No collection of complex circuitry—one million neurons in this case—is just a relay. It is also an important processor, but probably in a domain invisible to a neuroscientist recording from one or even 1000 neurons simultaneously.

My vote is that the “relay” is actually a timebase corrector for noisy retinal input mosaics that have their own quirky dynamics and temporal noise.
That would rule out autopilot entirely, wouldn't it? If true then this is just a case of someone falling asleep behind the wheel that could happen in any car. But with modern safety features like lane departure avoidance and automatic emergency braking. Tesla's active safety features can even brake for stop signs and traffic lights in addition to cars and pedestrians. And regenerative braking will bring the car to a stop much more quickly than a gas car when the accelerator is not pressed.

Server mode is much less likely to incur GC. Were you causing enough memory usage to force your app to actually free memory?

It will intentionally use more memory for the sake of throughput, hence why this post has all .NET program flag for it, as it's a _speed_ benchmark primarily.

Unless businesses are paying for server boosts[0] (which would only be useful for 1080p60 screen-share or a 50mb upload limit), there's no way to use Discord for business or pay extra for business use outside of creating a free server like any other; there's no real reason to choose Discord for business either, since it has no real retention policy (other than storing messages forever, for now), DLP is non-existent, there's no SSO/SAML, etc. The only reason to use Discord for business is if you really like Discord and/or other parts of your business are on Discord, like if you run a video game.

> The thing self driving cars need to avoid is killing people in broad daylight for no discernable reason

This, I think, is the thing that people miss when they say "self-driving cars don't need to be perfect, they just need to be better than human-drivers, who aren't actually all that great".

From a public confidence perspective, it doesn't matter if a self-driving car crashes one tenth, one one-hundredth as often as human drivers; as soon as you see a self-driving car kill someone in a situation that a human driver obviously would have avoided (like in the adversarial image kind of scenario), you've totally destroyed any and all confidence in this car's driving ability, because "I would never, ever have crashed there."
I have lane assist in my 2019 Subaru Outback, and it works well maybe 60% of the time. Most definitely not something I would call “extremely reliable”.
The worst thing is, that the core of capitalism had to be rescured by socialism.

Not that socialism is bad, or capitalism is bad. But the core of capitalism stand on, what isnt profitable, isnt sustainable. The system hasnt been provitable, but had been rescured by all the goverments and the money they gather from the inhabitants.
On the contrary. The very nature of vote-based forums like Reddit and HN means that you must agree with the masses and uphold the status quo to even be seen at all let alone heard, so it’s very rare that you get a glimpse of upcoming disruption or anything new at all.

TL;DR: No, most people here are sticks in the mud. If you listened to them you’d think that future laptops would still have parallel ports and floppy drives and communicate via IRC.
For the story to work well, there needs to be no logs, or misleading ones. I assume Teslas records travel in at least one log?

In many other jobs, gross negligence resulting in billions of dollars of property damage can get you jail time. Why is it ok for the people at the top of these financial disasters to be immune? Whether they're deceiving themselves is irrelevant. Drunk drivers deceive themselves about their ability to drive safely, we still put them in jail.
If I "deceive myself" by thinking I can drive with my eyes closed, and I crash my car and destroy someone's property, aren't I then required to pay the damages or face jail time?

It's odd that we can all agree on cases where the number of participants is small, but for some reason, if an entire economy is affected, we have to pretend that the people responsible weren't actually responsible and shouldn't be punished in the same way.
