When Maven car share was a thing, I rented a car from them once. It used app with Bluetooth to open/close the doors. The design was horrible. Anytime I’d step away from the car, the phone would become unpaired. Getting it to repair was nontrivial, and the easiest way I found was to reboot my phone. Eventually the car unlocking process became extra ornery & I had to spend something like 10 minutes in the freezing cold weather just trying ti get the car open. I was not pleased & never rented from them again.

When I used to be a ZipCar member, they had a keycard I kept in my wallet. That worked well enough.
> Now with your observation at AWS, I start wondering whether the coverage effort and different types of tests really help or not...

Figuring out ROI for testing is a very tricky problem. I'm glad to hear your team invests in testing. I agree it's hard to know if you're wasting money or not doing enough!
The $8 fee is the remote connect bundle, which is a collection of app connected features (ie lock/start/monitor status of windows and doors) that connect via cell network.

The fob start is a feature they decided to bundle with the others.
Here's one of them. It's a modern, former company town now used by DHS for counterterrorism training, but AFAIK it's not used for self-driving car testing. Maybe because it's too far from the Bay Area or it's just not well-known.

I'm going to guess you don't live in Hawaii. We already have a bus system (TheBus), which is decent but still painfully slow compared to a personal vehicle. And we're in the process of building light rail system which, due to budget overruns and bizarre blunders, will be years before it ever sees operation and goes roughly nowhere to nowhere.

"Frequent high quality public transportation" is great for dense urban cores, which doesn't remotely describe Honolulu.
If ideology is the issue then 1/4 of the article posters on HN should be banned. Also, many stories every day fall under “off-topic”.

Again, who is going to be put in jail when the first person is murdered by a driverless car?

Because that's the only motivation for keeping things safe, if it's just a fine corporations will just cut a check and write it off and shrug.

Cyclist on side of road, pedestrian wearing the wrong thing crossing the road, etc.

Sure a human could have killed them too. But that human will be put on trial/jail.
Does this apply to their EVs as well?

Oh you mean tracking your phone vs tracking you via the find-my network.

I’d just check to see what data the app says it collects. There’s a privacy site that details such things, but I can’t recall the url.
That is really stretching it. Why is the OP who started this thread about “feces in the street” (an obvious political dogwhistle) not receiving the same “warning?” Not to mention the comment I replied that who took OP’s bait and turned it further political by countering with two Republican states. If I took this thread “further into flamewar,” then surely the same logic applies to the chain of comments above mine.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.
This year I moved from New Jersey to Michigan (since my job is now 100% remote).

Homes in NJ are around $400k. In Michigan I bought a duplex for $160k. I could rent out the other side of the house, but instead we had our friends move in. We are 4 blocks from main street in a tiny town and enjoy the peace and quiet without obscene NJ traffic.

This is an easier decision since I have a life partner and am not trying to meet new people or see new things. It's especially easier since we do not intend to have kids.

I am baffled that some of my friends choose to live in Seattle where, if they buy a house, they would spend most of their working lives paying it off. While they would miss out on some big-city amenities if they moved out, they instead could have the ability to retire a few decades early.
I find it difficult to guess the author's intent given the paucity of information on that site.
2.22 was the peak of the rebuild. I’d have loved it way more if it ended right there. Best character development, most interesting angels (except clocky), Mari has potential and wasn’t another caricature, all downhill 3.33 was little more than a drawn out and more boring episode 24 with 2 interesting fights.
It’s the scale of it. How innocuous it seems. How One sided the moderation has been. Have you seen Facebook feeds? It blows my mind the amount of time people spend on that brain rot. It’s meant to be engaging and suck people in. In an customized way per individual. Mass media just can’t compete with Facebook for what it does. If you don’t see the difference I guess we can politely agree we live in different realities.

I'll leave one of his Reddit comments here.

"For over 40 years, my life pretty much revolved around drugs. . Booze and cigarettes almost the background music to my drugs of choice ( heroin and cocaine). Drug free but a drinker until I started BJJ--at which point the inevitability of getting smashed every day made alcohol a much less attractive option and cigarettes out of the question. Frankly, BJJ as an addiction has in many ways replaced my previous ones. If I'm away from my home academy, I find myself looking for someplace anyplace to train like a dope fiend looking for a methadone clinic."
To be fair the article is comparing SF to other American cities, not to actual working progressive cities.

And yes, American govt is vastly inefficient at all levels, mostly because the individual is prioritised over the community. When the goal is to prevent individual harm, at any cost, then naturally there is little change because someone is always around to object.
Good idea, it's looking very much like I might end up going that way.

There's nothing compelling me to get a newer car, except for engine wear.
The article mistakes nihilism for cynicism.

It’s kind of obvious that a nihilist doesn’t want to effect change in society. It’s not true at all of cynics.

In fact, most people who influence large scale change display some degree of cynicism.

Now the article also equals cynicism with “people who complain”, which is also incorrect.

Really what the OP means is “if you want to change society you shouldn’t be a nihilistic asshole.”

That is difficult to disagree with…
I think there's a general failure of communication here, and throughout the current social discourse on "cynicism".

There's a sort of false trichotomy at play in this post, and on Twitter I've noticed a dichotomous version: "Should we be happy that we're improving, or sad that there's so far to go?" (That's my summary of it, anyway)

Why not both? We should appreciate how far things have come (it is truely astounding), but of course that doesn't imply that we should be content with where we are. We should be deeply discontent - at least to the extent that it motivates us to fight towards a better future. A magnitude or type of discontent that leads to depression/apathy is obviously not helpful.

It seems like a significant portion of tribal "controversy" on social media is stoked by mouthpieces on either side that are almost purposefully playing into the dichotomy perspective, because adding subtlety into the discussion would throw water on the flames, and that's just ending the "fun".
I believe this is also a cultural/political effort to create problems where they don’t exist.
Well, technically murder requires a human assailant and intent, which the car won’t have.

Unless the programmer intends it anyway, then they are the murderer.

Same as a lion can’t murder a human. It’s just being a lion, doing lion things.
> By realizing that the world is always changing, and by stopping to complain, we opt out of seeing the world through cynical glasses, and become part of the change. When we realize that our life can change, we can change it.

i think cynicism is a survival tactic that people adopt, when facing a reality that they can't possibly change. Change is not always an option, unfortunately.
Also cynicism isn't synonymous with complaining - it's more a way of looking at things, that also comes with its own kind of humour.
Hehe true! But it's real hard to "move fast and not break things" when you're talking about millions of servers, exabytes of data, and tens of thousands of engineers.
I don't see what's hardline about it: my line is just the principle of least surprise. And to be as emphatic as possible about it, I'm talking about tools that are meant to be consumed by pipelines.

> I perceived your hardline stance as unreasonable personally, and so I wondered where the format changing functionality that most 'ls' implementations perform based on pipe detection fit in your worldview.

Because the output of `ls` is a trashfire for parsing already. I'd strongly discourage _anyone_ from attempting to parse its output.

> But you do a lot of mental gymnastics to get there, and you end up asserting that 'ls' shouldn't be used in pipelines. Which seems kinda nuts to me to be honest.

No, I've just had to fix a bunch of broken-ass shell scripts in the past because people didn't realise that the output of `ls` doesn't obey the principle of least surprise. No mental gymnastics here, just a lot of experience fixing other people's problems. About the only good thing that ever comes out of these is that is gives me a way to show people what they can do with safer, more predictable tools, like `find`.
Does it? I watched it as a depressed teen without any super robot context. After watching other super robots I don’t feel like I missed context.
I think it depends. Arbitrary road closures and bike lanes may not be popular, but on high streets where it's mostly shops it's a different story.

Consider that what would be considered a lower standard of living by consensus American standards could be considered a higher standard of living by a different consensus standard.

The end result is that Uber ended their self driving car program and paid the family money, while the grunt worker who was put in the car without proper training got charged with negligent homicide and that trial is still going.

The person responsible for that program should be charged, not the safety driver, but that is how things goes. You can't just put random people in a car and call them safety drivers, and charging such a person with homicide doesn't really get to the root of the problem.
You consider HOA requirements and single-site scalability to be red flags for a startup?
I watched few episodes of FMA and came back unimpressed and bored. The plot devices as you mention is not much different than the usual hero saves world anime.
Probably because I've watched enough of 'starter' anime that I'm sick of it.

That said it seems to be a bit more grounded unlike the usual starter anime - for example Naruto where a promising story turns into a unstoppable train wreck of terribly written characters and stretched out plots
I think the more likely scenario is that the price would be $50/mo in both countries. Nobody would be willing to buy it in the foreign country, but dropping the price would sacrifice too much profit in the home country to be worth it.
Relax. My opinions don't even approach the extremes this paradox is referring to. It's akin to a woman saying all men are only interested in Sex. Probably not true for many men, but also very true for an equal amount of men. Either way, not a big deal.

There's no holocaust denial here or anything like that. Also women and dating advice isn't even some kind of controversial hard hitting topic that effects anything.

We can have mature discussion about the merits and disgusting parts of a death penalty which directly influences human lives but we can't do so about women dishing out bad dating advice? Come on man.
Cruise control is literally just for (at least in a traditional sense) keeping your speed constant.

You're still responsible for watching traffic and using the brake or gas as needed, especially if there is some issue up ahead that requires a safety maneuver of any kind.

i.e. an emergency vehicle, like a California Highway Patrol vehicle, begins a traffic break 15 car lengths ahead of you. As long as you're observant, you'll notice that in time and either cancel the cruise control or make the right adjustment so you slow down enough to the break speed.

Not releasing the source code of IME gives Intel plausible deniability against allegations of intentionally inserting backdoors. Especially for IME, which is much harder than regular software to extract and reverse engineer. Given the competition they face now, that would be a major show-stopper for Intel if the allegations could be proved true.
I feel like driving a vehicle is fundamentally different from "natural" activities, because it involves a large difference in how you deal with things ahead versus the sides.

Things in front are highly compressed, while things to the sides are not, and your ability to move sideways is reduced by mass and speed.

When I was a teenager, I went on a road trip where I drove like 12 or more hours in a day, which I could never do now. At the end, I got home and for a while I had a weird sort of tunnel vision that I don't know how to describe. It was almost like I was looking through a fish-eye lens or something; everything seemed distorted because of spending so much time concentrating on small lateral motions and things coming towards me at highway speeds.

Sometimes I walk routes that I also frequently drive and it reminds me how motor vehicles compress time and space.
I agree, I didn’t like it at first because everyone else told me to dislike it. It’s a lot more cerebral and less eye candy and has different interpretations.

How do you know those models are safe? I know Google said they didn't use machine learning for the driving part.

Edit: To clarify, I wonder how you do this part:

ML models doesn't make predictable outputs. So you always need a system that can handle the ML model going haywire, since you have no way to prove that it wont.

But the parent poster says he wants to live in a single family home.

Zoning in Seattle is not a problem for families. They want single family housing. Demolishing beautiful old pre war neighborhoods for developers isn’t going to entice families away from the nearby suburb with big yards.
I suspect part of the reason people have a strong response to your suggestion is that it's patently impractical, and thus easy to pick apart.

To offer one small critique: you suggest that we first need "people to migrate from Earth into orbit," THEN "take full intentional control of the planet's climate" - surely if we have the ability to fully control Earth's climate, we don't need everyone in orbit?

And, since we have to develop the technologies necessary to implement your plan anyway, wouldn't it be easier to just figure out how to remediate the biosphere directly, instead of figuring out how to get everyone into orbit, THEN figure out full planetary climate control, THEN artificially-accelerated natural productivity restoration?
I limit it to less episodes or OVAs to prevent bad plots. Ever watch Gurren Lagann? I’d say it’s if Eva was silly and had character development. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUzzAlorT7Q
i think that "cynicism" is a loaded term, and that creating a dogma against it can be a form of toxic positivity. pretending that something is good, when it obviously is not, is gaslighting plain and simple. gaslighting is a form of abuse that breeds actual, lasting cynicism, and it must be avoided at all costs.

that said, non-constructive complaining can also create and spread caustic and degenerate mindsets.

like everything, it's a balance.

applying habit tracking to one's own complaining is a great idea though!
I will be the first to admit that I often think cynically about things.

I also think complaining about something is completely counter-intuitive to a cynical disposition.

Wikipedia might not be the best place to look for a definition, but doing so reveals that a cynic lives a life "in virtue, in agreement with nature."[1]

What the OP posted is much closer to a contemporary misunderstanding of the history of cynicism[2]. Cynically, I do not agree with this classification of cynicism, and although I may not change your mind I think we should stop conflating the process of attempting to see the harmonies[3] of our current ecosystem with the pessimism of a disillusioned generation[4] (of which I am one).

If what you do is counter to optimism, pessimism, and realism, while having a "fixed mindset" (as the article reads), imo you are not a cynic, you are just the stereotype of a millennial.

So for example I prefer MDN so the site is ranked higher if it shows in the search results. Note I’m unaffiliated with them but the product/team is great so rooting for them to succeed.
I definitely agree with the author that a major gap that has continually failed to be bridged between the scientific community and the more general bulk of people is true understanding of the field of science as a whole. Even considering the way that most people casually throw around the term "research" is elucidating of this problem: a genuine lack of understanding of not just complex scientific and mathematical models but science as an industry and a tool for understanding life on this planet.

None the less I wonder if the goal should be to make it so any person could understand a complex paper? Should all people strain to understand every study? There are experts in certain fields for that very reason. It is not always possible to accurately explain higher level concepts to people who lack foundational knowledge that can take years to accrue. I am not certain if changing papers to be more interactive is going to bridge the gap as this author hopes, or if it is even the goal that should be pursued.
What works for big tech will work for big X. The MBAs are learning. Non-tech industries have been talking about how to move to subscription models for 10+ years. Again, interest rate theory seems like the wrong tool here.
