We already do drive more than we need to because of how society is designed in America, but if the costs were lower as promised and you basically had an always-on-demand car with no driver, you could work or something while in the car, and take a nap wouldn't people take a lot more road trips or trips otherwise? I don't see how this wouldn't increase usage. That being said, increase in usage doesn't necessarily correlate to increased traffic.
Owning a car is massively expensive at a personal level… Purchase cost, depreciation, fuel, maintenance, space to store it. Minimum a few hundred $/month for an “asset” that sits idle most of the day.

Owning cars is massively expensive at a societal level… Storage space - so much asphalt for parking (both at destinations and at home). Pollution - production/raw materials, emissions during use, eventually disposal. Injuries to drivers, pedestrians, animals.

All that money could go to education, health care, recreation, etc.

I’m not saying ban cars. But align incentives towards fewer cars and less driving. Many cities are already making some progress - DC, NYC, Seattle, Portland are all adding transit alternatives at a rapid rate and seeing reduced car usage. But then Houston and some others are doing the opposite and continuing to sprawl and pave everything.

Edit - And yes, some people live in rural areas and need cars (trains and buses don’t scale in rural areas). But, the suburban sprawl we have today? We can do better. Less single-use, single-family zoning. More bike lanes and walking paths (preferably both separated from cars). More light commercial/retail.

Just thinking about my own neighborhood (Reston VA), there is an intersection 0.5 mile down the road that should (IMO) have a corner market and a cafe. There are thousands of residents who could walk there for milk, eggs, or a snack. Instead, they all have to drive to the strip mall 2 miles down the road. A little planning in advance would have made a difference here, but with current zoning, we’re stuck with what we have - you couldn’t buy a corner lot and build a shop if you wanted.
Anecdotal evidence, but as a city-dweller who owns a car, all of my friends who don't own cars have a reason besides "it's inconvenient." They have a disability that makes it unsafe to operate a vehicle and/or they simply can't afford a car.

Maybe it's different in other parts of the world, but that seems to be the way it works here in Chicago.

Peppers are some of the most resilient plants on earth as long as the temperature is right.

They can survive and produce with too much/too little water, don't have _tons_ of pests (although hornworms will strip the leaves if you don't remove them fast enough) and are tolerant to a lot of soil conditions.
Thanks! But the url returns 404.

Also, probably I'm too engineer to understand the phrase "independent homotopy/homology classes of 1-dimensional loops in the complement of the object" so I don't know how this definition covers the case but an interesting extension to question is adding "holes" to the straw sideways. (exactly face to face or randomly located?, different sized if face to face?)
Passing regulations that target a specific company doesn’t seem related to democracy.

> So, he is an author that has a track record of understanding a thing or two about money.

On the contrary, while he is indeed a good author and has written highly enjoyable fictions (well, heavy on the nerdy side but this is HN after all so I think a lot of us have no problem with that), his understanting of how money and knowledge work on a societal level is quite frankly laughable. It is deeply rooted in the californian ideology and very naïve. But it still good fun, and it doesn't take itself to seriously.
The curvature is not unique to apple though. This is widely used in car manufacturing for example. Turns out not having a hard transition between no curvature (straight surface) and some kind of radius (so a curvature of 1/r) looks like shit on very reflective surfaces, because a perfect flat mirror suddenly transitions into a stretched or squashed one.

So you can go and make those transitions flawless by making sure the curvature combs transition into each other as well (basically a set of spaced out lines which you draw perpendicular to the line in question where the magnitude equals the curvature). If the curvature combs meet at the transition, the transition looks okay. If the curvature combs are tangential to each other it looks better. You can also add a second order curvature comb to the first one and make sure these connect as well etc.
It seems that recently, it is become trendy to hate Elon Musk because of the news where as I'm only critiquing FSD as I did a year ago against the fanatics [0], since that is obviously full of snake oil and false promises and a beta 'safety critical' product deployed to hundreds of thousands of drivers on the road. I don't see that level of deception yet with SpaceX, Starlink or Neuralink.

Tesla cars themselves are also fine until you're talking about FSD which that is the problem and the scam that puts the lives of other drivers on the road at risk.

It's not known because no one produces enough of it and markets it well. The land and climate are perfect, we have Bourbon and Arabica Elita that is high in demand but production does not follow.
Humans don't have lidar either.
FSD has enabled a ton of sales for Tesla and is arguably one of the biggest factors they were valued over a trillion dollars at one point.
Kinda? I agree in principle. But not in this instance I think.

The conflict here is very weak, and most judges would not likely recuse in this case or feel shut pressure to do so. The husband worked for a 1000+ attorney firm that once had a client, and had no involvement in anything.
The judge has no knowledge or involvement.

If every judge in a similar situation recused, you would likely have to move/transfer lots of cases around the country to try to find judges that could hear them.

I actually suspect the judge just may not want to deal with this high profile of a case. It can be really a mess to deal with (even before you get to the personal toll of increased death threats, etc)

It depends. It could be safe if it's self driving at 20mph on a constant pre-determined route.
I considered this in college, but gave up on the idea eventually. Figuring out how to fairly split the cost of gas, tires, and maintenance isn't easy, and when you're a broke college kid, splitting the tab fairly is a big deal.

And early family support. Since my wife can die from a sesame seed, this topic is naturally important in our family. We have read the research we've found and tried to do what we could, but we got no external support for this -- if it hadn't been important to us it wouldn't have happened at all.

It's particularly tricky with sesame exposure. Since we can't have it at home, we have no idea how our children react to it. Relatives did promise to throw hummus parties, but those never happened and now everyone is afraid to be the one who almost killed our child, naturally.
TikTok is also a private company operating under US law.
In Denmark, the biggest party "only" got 27% of the votes, and 12 parties ended up in parlament.

About a third of my domains are on Fastmail for family members to use and for emailing businesses that would spam-flag VPS CIDR blocks. I've taught family members to create aliases for email canaries so they can nullify companies that sell or leak their address.

About a third just point to my name servers and accept email for my domains and most of the popular email domains to give spammers a feeling of accomplishment and to pre-populate ISP DNS caches. Those servers just dump the email into a single flat file. I use these for sending to known malicious entities or when I need a throw-away temporary email address. I just grep out what I need from the text file.

The remainder of my domains just point to non-routable public addresses.
I thought the US Constitution prohibits laws that target only one person or corporation:

If Congress bans TikTok they have to ban all apps like TikTok. Maybe they claim it is for national defense? But what business does not have some relation to national defense? Are they going to ban all engineering that originates in China? Passing a more general privacy law and providing funds for enforcement of it would have been a better way to address this.
Peanuts, sesame, pineapples, eggs, fish, shellfish. The list may be small but it's varied. Yes, deadly allergies should be taken seriously,and reasonably. Banning entire classes of food for those not allergic seems much.
The claim was impossibility with the sensor suite. It may well be impractical. In the long run, there's no better way to be wrong than claiming impossibility.
> The books I could never read again: Lawrence Durrell’s Alexandria Quartet ... found the mixture altogether too rich

That's pretty rich in itself, coming from the author of "His Dark Materials," which whether you like it or not, is so metaphorically and allegorically over-rich with respect to the author's obvious angst and disdain for Catholicism specifically, and organized Christianity generally, as to be ... well, almost un-rereadable by any thoughtful person.
Two hard working people are born in poverty. They each work hard and reap the rewards of their success. They both pay income tax on their gains. One of the people spends their lifetime of accrued wealth on themselves, buying a nice car, a huge house, and luxury goods they don't really need. The other person is concerned about the future of their only child and lives well below their means, when they die they will their estate to their child who immediately stops working and never works again. Is that fair?

Now consider a third person who also cares for their child. This person also lives frugally but instead of saving their wealth every year they buy their kid fancy cars and luxury goods. They die penniless but their kid never had to work a day in their life. Is that fair?
You could tax owning a car more or putting the car in traffic in general, not necessarily self driving aspect of it. The main tax being about taking up room in the streets.
Nowhere on that phrase he says the person will manage daily communication, or team coordination.

It's perfectly possible for technical people to work on decision making too. In fact, the idea of specializing decision making into a group that does none of the technical work is absolutely stupid.
I don’t know that they were overpaid. I also don’t know that all the people fired had to deal with day-to-day uptime operations. If they did, then they probably were over-staffed but probably they were not and I think we all know that. Now, it seeend quite likely they were over staffed to an extent but I don’t know about this idea that “Twitter is still up so those people were useless.”

Also, Musk fired some people for saying stupid things about their boss on his platform, that is just fair play. I don’t see why people like NYT are up in arms about it (well, I do). However, read Musk’s Tweets from November. He was behaving like a little child trolling on the Internet.
This can happen on other laptops, especially to cat owners.

Referring to "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy" I suppose? (:
Software often gets used for something besides its intended purpose. Someone writes a simple library to solve a simple problem. Efficiency is not an issue since the problem is simple and the library is rarely used. The code is slow but it works so no one cares.

But because the code actually works, the library gets shared with other programmers. Eventually someone uses it for something that has a lot of data and is run frequently. Now the inefficient code becomes a real problem. Multiply that with a dozen libraries with similar characteristics and you begin to understand the issue.

EVs also reduce the fuel costs considerably (probably also the maintenance costs).
Nod, and they changed their training to make many of those changes after this accident - one of about 40 changes.

Definitely one of those ‘if the PIC had been a little more paranoid, and a bunch of other rare/weird things had not happened, it would have been fine’ type accidents. The first officer was supposed to also verify things, but the specific step wasn’t in the training either, and wasn’t normally applicable because of the TO/GA automation.

Luckily no loss of life from the crash directly. If the firefighters had listened to prior crash issues and fixed them in their own response, likely no firefighters would have died either.

I think sesame makes me violently throw up for about 8 hours. The last three times I’ve knowingly eaten it this has happened. But it doesn’t show up on an allergy test and all three were 6 months apart so could have just been a flare up of something else. But it was the exact same symptoms each time. So now I just avoid sesame, it’s really tricky to do as it gets in to all sorts of things, but for seemingly no reason. Even ordering a burger is tricky, why are there sesame seeds on a burger bun?
Humans have stereoscopic vision

Edit: I'd love to know why I'm being downvoted. Tesla cars guess depth with a neural net. Humans have the hardware for getting this data directly. Unless you either have lidar, radar, or dedicated stereoscopic cameras, you don't have real/accurate depth data. And depth data like that stops your car from plowing into white trucks.

Ah you are right, I somehow missed the moment where OP told it those things. Then yes, it doesn't seem impressive at all.

Making that conclusion by itself would have been the only impressive and creative thing I could think of there.
I was excited to be able to eat more commercially-produced foods without wondering if it had sesame or not. Ah well. I guess rather than wondering, I now _know_, my food is contaminated, which might be better?

Small restaurants have ignored me about my allergy, which TBH worries me more, given the false sense of safety.

Now, I just hope for my family's sake if a restaurant kills me, that they're huge and it's their fault.
Citation? I think there might be a bit of "telephone game" happening here. The current science shows that avoiding allergens increases the risk of developing allergies. The hypothesis for how that happens is that if an infant's first exposure to an allergen is on their skin (e.g., peanut oil), then their body may classify it as invasive and develop anti-bodies to attack it. If they are first introduced to an allergen as food, then their body classifies it as food. By avoiding feeding allergens to infants, you increase the time window for their bodies to be exposed through the skin and classify it as invasive. I could certainly see this idea transmuting through word of mouth into the "first world is too clean" idea in your comment, but that's pretty far off.

> People who have nothing have nothing to loose when dodging bond.

SBF posted no money here, so by your logic he should be locked up right now.
> Perhaps you shed some light on what the better build systems are?

To clarify, I mean "better" for complex tasks. Build systems are just tools like any other, meaning they're good at some things, but bad at others. CMake (and Meson) are good for simpler build scenarios, but when you need complexity they're a poor choice. For that you're better off with scons, waf, bazel, ant, buck, gradle, etc.

> Meson is much more than just a different DSL. What is the CMake standard option for toggling between library types? What is the CMake standard option for toggling lto? What is the CMake standard option for enabling sanitizers?

> Meson standardizes so much behavior. I can go to any project and immediately be able to configure a build with the parameters that I want.

Again, my issue with Meson is that it doesn't bring anything substantially new to the table to justify it. Having a nicer DSL isn't enough, and having some built in toggles for common things isn't enough. The fact that you happen to be more comfortable with Meson doesn't make it objectively better than CMake. Figuring out how to enable LTO and sanitizers for a CMake project might take a few minutes of Googling at most.

A new dev who has never encountered either of these might instinctively prefer Meson's syntax, but the wiser decision is to learn the (vastly) more mature and prolific CMake, and then not have to worry about it. Time spent on the build system is time not spent on the project.
> You can build literally anything with CSS. It’s a very powerful language. To learn how to do it the only way really is to get your hands wet and try stuff.

CSS is good at what it does, but it is difficult to master. I can see where someone learning would really struggle because a lot of the techniques required to implement components aren't exactly intuitive. A lot of the advice people give reads like, OK, first, put the sandwich in the plastic bag, then assemble the fusion reactor and set it next to the refrigerator - here's a handy youtube video showing how I did it in 5 minutes! It's easy!

How Sam Bankman-Fried got bail
hold up hold up hold up.

So there was a recent article (in Slate, I believe?) by someone who had driven for Lyft ten years ago and who did it a little bit this year just to see how it changed. They said that the chief thing was that Lyft's take was significantly larger than it used to be, about 40% of the total fares collected.

Which, like, you're looking at that and it seems reasonable, right? Let's step into our time machine, though, and look at fare breakdowns in the taxi era, where the way you got a ride was by calling up a dispatcher who would send out a car. In that era, drivers got to take home about 85% of the total fares.

So: we've gone from a non-automated system where the driver makes a supermajority of the money, to a more-automated system where the driver is taking in significantly less.

And I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "A ha! The driver is taking in more than half the money! You are simply proving my point~!!1!"

Here's the deal:

* Less importantly: the cost of auto maintenance, something that would have to be carried by the company if the car were self-driving, falls upon the driver

* More importantly: for some reason I cannot begin to intuit, rideshare companies have managed to introduce vastly more overhead costs, even though one would expect that going from a human-dispatch to an automatic-dispatch system would cut overhead.

I suspect that if one of the rideshare companies actually rolled out working self-driving cars (so Waymo, not Tesla), they would somehow find a way to make rides actually more expensive.

Rounded rectangles are easy to manufacture, but ugly due to their tangency.
