Having an article marked for deletion means nothing, it happens all the time, and is one of the ways power flows in Wikipedia's anarchic domain (and I'm not sure this kind of power play is really gendered, it is more of a conservative, restraining, force).

While I highly regard Wikipedia's amazing and quite successful project, and hope there will be more editors that are female (oriented, not necessarily biological), there is still a lot that's not there, perhaps will never be, yet matters for various cultures and localities around the world, Wikipedia English has a built in bias (hint: English), and it's not a gendered one.
FWIW my question wasn't meant to be a scare tactic. I genuinely wanted to know what the plan was in case of emergencies. I suppose I could have (and should have, since HN seems to value explicitness and literalism) elaborated to avoid assumption and/or presumption.
"Nothing to do with copying"?! If you're going to say such ridiculous things, please stop making legal commentary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Sta...

Copyright grants 5 exclusive rights to the authors of a work. Two of them are creating copies and distributing copies. Two of the others don't really apply to executing software (public display and performance of audiovisual works), and the last is the creation of derivative works.

What the owners of some copies of code do with them is not something the author gains any control of. That can only be restricted by the license, which as it says, is governed by applicable contract law.
The problem is that when you increase capacity, and decrease flow problems, you increase demand for that capacity. I find it very hard to believe that you can increase capacity enough to avoid jams in cities like Los Angeles.
It used to be even worse -- when I started using Wikipedia (dinosaurs walked the earth) they had substantially more written about several comic book characters than on obscure religious cults like e.g. Catholicism.

That said, long-term I bet on Wikipedia converging more on the desires of Wikipedians (who are so screamingly not representative of the population that it almost pains me to have to mention that) than on any objectively awesome target for Wikipedia. Happily, Wikipedian's consensus target for Wikipedia is, even if far from perfect, pretty close to one of the most useful tools on the Internet.
Within the rules of the Apple walled garden, yes, you're right. However, we should recognize that he has every right to publish his app in a more open venue. Having said that, the title of his rant is a little misleading in that there's nothing specifically hypocritical about Apple's stance. However much anyone might dislike their business model (i.e. curator/censor), that's their choice.
What? There seems to be a pretty huge difference, actually.

The Ouya game console is a physical object while this is some kind of vague web app/API thing.

Somebody else posted the actual Kickstarter TOS, but it seemed pretty clear it wouldn't be allowed for this kind of project.
I get that you get pleasure from driving or riding and if it's anything like my experience (in my teens) a good part of it is the danger factor. I drove like a lunatic when I was 16 (just like most other 16 year olds) and it was great fun at the time. Now when I look back I can see what kind of an idiot I was for putting others and myself in that kind of mortal danger.

That's not to say that you can't enjoy driving responsibly. But there's so much unnecessary danger and tedium involved that it seems a no-brainer to move to a computer controlled future.

The article for the Republic of Ragusa:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Ragusa

Wikipedia's editors (or, perhaps more accurately, humanity) have a bias in thinking details in the present are more important than details in the past.
Wikipedia is an interesting place. I am not sure what classifies articles for deletion, but it feels like only people who live in the Internet industry take part in actively running and editing the articles. I don't think of it as a male dominant community (even though I am female), but it feels like to me that only for people who are only care about stuff they know. It feels more like a closed minded community than having a woman problem.

My previous company was a chip and Wi-Fi module startup (ZeroG Wireless). I had requested our company name to be created around 2009. At that point, we had been around for 4 years and we had taken $30m in funding. However, we were never granted a section on Wikipedia.

On the other hand, plenty of internet companies who were around than launch much shorter than that and their names are currently on Wikipedia, for example, Pownce. I am sure that many others are granted a Wikipedia entry for being around less, accomplishing less than what we did. The only difference is that these were Internet startups and ZeroG was not.

Some people simply need to wake up and stop living in their own bubble. Let's hope that one day they can realize that others do care about things that the community doesn't care.
It's a disappointment this writer is covering this topic.

Self-driving cars can be great because of the shear impact on utility for vehicles and safety implications.

I'm quite excited about the advent of self-driving cars and the underling operating systems that will make them amazing for humans.

I do believe there is room for both types of driving. It's possible our freeways will be segmented such that automated cars can go in certain lanes (perhaps even barrier protected) while the remaining traffic stays in other lanes / roads.

Traffic, or more specifically congestion, is primarily caused by excess cars on any edge (road) in which it simply takes N+1 cars to cause. Inconsistent driving patterns cause effective waves of inconsistency down the pipe exacerbating the situation (stop and go traffic actually makes congestion even worse).

Thinking about the overall network at a higher level makes all of this even more exciting. Consider the scenario in which N cars are on an edge with capacity N. If your car was about to enter the road you would basically contribute to traffic. This cost, C, is then felt across N+1 (don't forget to include yourself!) people at a minimum which is C*(N+1) minutes of human time that is lost.

If our cars, and ourselves, were better informed you might take an alternate and sub-optimal route that taxes you an extra T minutes but the overall network of time is optimized. Perhaps you'll even get a reward for it. And perhaps the reward is simply allowing all the people currently on the road a faster commute home so they can be with their loved ones.

Beyond that, as people have mentioned here already, the faster we can go and caravanning (which can be done safely by allowing cars to attach to one another in train format) improves overall throughput (and make traffic less likely).

Finally if we think about traffic, it's really just load and it needs to be distributed better across all possible routes and time. We have commute hours, but one thing to think about is that with a self-driving car I can leave to LA at 12AM and get there at 6AM while sleeping in the back of the car.

Self-driving cars will increase utility on vehicles, but also on time for travel routes ideally. This will spread the load (since humans generally have some biological clock they operate by) to utilize the 24 hours a day we have a little bit better.

And if your car can't speed I guess we should invest in really good alarm clocks and reminders :)

seriously, what's wrong with you? individual mobility is a great freedom and source of happiness. i like to be able to control a machine, drive it up a mountain. i've spent months driving all across the US, Europe and places like Iceland. best experiences ever, every single turn was a choice by me.

the minute you make every thing super safe people will kill themselves out of boredom.

but i guess you're one of those people that want to ban drugs, sugar, fat, knifes, flight, compilers and anything with sharp edges.

and your numbers, oh scary, TEN 9/11s. maybe all that shows us that on a historic scale, 9/11 wasn't that big? how many people got wiped out on D-Day? By the Spanish Flu?

There are a lot of ways to get yourself discredited on Wikipedia, but trying to get an article written about yourself, your company, your band, or anything else you are intimately involved in is the most reliable.
That's very amusing, because the exact opposite bias can be found in traditional encyclopedias:

> The other day I read a dozen thousand words about Assyrian archeology in my DVD copy of Encyclopedia Britannica, but when I wanted to read about the Xbox 360, there wasn't even a single entry, so I gave up.

> Wikipedia's editors (or, perhaps more accurately, humanity) have a bias in thinking details in the present are more important than details in the past.

I don't know if that's entirely true. I think it significantly depends on what those "details" are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_games
Some benefits of self-driving cars only come in when they hit certain market-shares. For highway driving there are big gains when you have enough for a dedicated lane, and when cars can "draft" one another, but the biggest gain will be in cities when (if) we get to 100%.

At that point we can do away with all traffic lights except for pedestrian crossings. Not only will stop signs be unnecessary, cars could approach intersections at speed, knowing that there was a gap in the cross-traffic for them to fit through. If you let a single human-driven car onto those streets you couldn't implement anything like that, though.
Some of the things Kyle said and quoted seem relevant to an earlier HN discussion [1] titled I don't "get" art

"""

The Book of Tea[2]... requires a mutual understanding between the artist and the spectator:

> The sympathetic communion of minds necessary for art appreciation must be based on mutual concession. The spectator must cultivate the proper attitude for receiving the message, as the artist must know how to impart it.

And the success of “People Staring at Computers” is based on condemnation rather than mutual concession. In a way, inviting condemnation can be the most effective way of imparting a message.

I think Duchamp understood the possibilities of condemnation as an alternative to mutual concession. He addresses this in his short essay, “The Creative Act“ [3]. He says once an artist gives their work to the spectator, it’s up to the spectator to make a decision about that work.

Had this article come out at the same time, I think that discussion would have gone better.

>In a world in which every car drives "optimally", or at least without many of the human error mistakes that currently are made, many traffic jams will be a thing of the past.

Jams are not only capacity problem, but also sociological. People are willing to tolerate certain waiting time to get to fun/profitable location. If there are less jams and roads are free and gasoline is cheap, people will drive more.
More important? No, but certainly far more accessible, and the low-hanging fruit gets picked the most, so to speak.
Tinfoil doesn't work at all, since the stuff sold in stores today is actually aluminium foil and doesn't block radio signals. Go try it with your phone, use the entire roll, you'll see pretty quickly it doesn't do much.

I bought the pouch for software development reasons, not paranoia. One that works properly is something around $100 dollars. Leaving your phone in that kind of pouch is actually not that great for battery life, since I think the phone searches for towers on full radio strength. It's better just to activate airplane mode.

I am frequently surprised to find Wikipedia articles about very narrow, highly-specialized technical concepts. For example, there is a Wikipedia page about iso646.h in the C language standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso646.h). If you're wondering why you never heard of iso646.h before, it's because it is only useful if you are programming in C on a system that does not support cutting-edge characters like "&" or "|". This is esoterica that does not have any measurable impact on the world. And this isn't even an article about ISO 646 per se, it's about a header file.

I find such articles extremely useful, so I'm not advocating that they be deleted. But surely the wedding gown worn by a British Monarch who is widely known for her fashion sense is at least as relevant to the world at large.
Reddit founder shames Digg founder with an old magazine and a Biggie quote
While I'm sure a bias towards the present is part of the problem, there's also the simple fact that it's easy to write about things plenty of other people are writing about, and about which details are plentiful. Many of the things Wikipedia is missing, but really should have if it wants to call itself an encyclopaedia with any pretense at seriousness are obscure, and their details locked away in obscurity. (As a consequence of this, many of those things Wikipedia does have articles about are couched in the language of someone who already understands the topic, mitigating their utility to those who don't.)

All that said, the article on the Republic of Ragusa was far better and longer than I'd have expected, given its use as your counter-point.
It seems the most knee-jerk reactions always come from bike riders (buy a gun.. really?) :)

How about the upside. Every bike rider I've ever talked to bitches about stupid "cage drivers". Imagine if every 4 wheeler was autonomous.. no more bitching, you'd be able to zig-zag between them easily, and if you do happen to lose concentration for a moment you can rest assured that a computer will (probably) stop before it kills you.

Really? You think people would kill themselves because they no longer had to manually do one of the most boring, repetitive, tedious everyday things they have to do? Personally I'd read a book.
I've always thought a simple way to improve the process would be to require people to volunteer 200 hours in an Accident and Emergency ward at their local hospital.

force us to spend time with people who found out what thousands of pounds of metal does to the human body when it decelerates quickly.

I think there will be two nice outcomes:

1. Lots of people will chose not to get a license (and will probably avoid cars altogether).

2. The people that do get licenses will drive with a lot more care and respect.
Jams are like a constant. If there are no jams, people can live further and further from their places of work and play without paying commute penalties, so they'll buy larger properties further and further out, until the congestion from the extra commuting becomes an issue again.
You make a great point, and I think that ties into how one defines 'important information'. Specs/prices/etc.etc. about the XBOX 360 are all but ubiquitous on the internet; does this mean that, because they're more common, they're more important and thus should be added to Wikipedia? Or do stricter filters need to be placed on more common knowledge/data?
I've seen demonstrations where the autonomous car recognizes bicyclists and adjusts the travel path to avoid the "obstacle". I imagine with a motorcycle the autonomous car should always see it coming up behind it and could be programmed to give it some room as it gets close.

Is that the reason we have speed limits?

I've always thought it's more like we don't want to deal with the consequences of something going wrong when there is too much energy involved. i.e. blow a tire, or hit a patch of gravel at 60mph and see what happens. Now try it at 160mph.
Not impressed by this rant. The author admits some of the problems also happened on the App Store, and complains MS won't help them promote the app at this time. The reasons for which the udpated app was rejected at first seem valid to me (though specific info should have been given for the inappropriate content...).

Is it really expected that a developer should be able to move an app between accounts? Were they not aware of the limited audience of WP users? This should not come as a surprise after the second version of their app is done.

I will however agree the publishing portal is poorly implemented.

> long-term I bet on Wikipedia converging more on the desires of Wikipedians

The fundamental issue here seems to be that there's a select group of "Wikipedians" who are the primary editors. As long as the site doesn't make editing/adding articles a more user friendly/advertised feature, things aren't going to change.

Case in point: I went just yesterday to add some new content to an article, along with which I had a citation to add. Imagine my surprise when I found out that citations are still added in MediaWiki syntax! I can say without a doubt that every single acquaintance of mine who doesn't have an interest in computers (and quite a few who do) would have been utterly discouraged at this point from editing the article.

How difficult can it be to add a GUI editor? It would be a small, purely technical, step that could have a significant impact on the userbase, if advertised properly.

I could see something like XMonad confusing people just because it's so different.

But KDE? Not so much. It's designed to be elegant and easy to use, and I think it's fairly successful. It's actually rather easy to go from Windows to KDE--even easier than Windows to OS X, I think. (Admittedly, this is in large part because KDE is similar to Windows in a lot of ways.)

Also, full screen isn't a confusing feature :P. And, of course, Apple is just as happy to confuse people as anybody else--it seems half their users are vague on what exactly the green button does!
He's just wrong about the JVM, specifically with statements like this:

"the benefits of the JVM only apply to languages that map well onto Java concepts"

With InvokeDynamic (InDy) this is no longer true at all. InDy lets you manage the entire lifecycle of method dispatch at a particular call site in a way that HotSpot can optimize across. This lets you define your own dispatch semantics that can potentially do things like complicated argument conversions (e.g. rolling all of the arguments up into an array) and it will still dispatch as fast as Java. This is true because InDy lets you define your own polymorphic inline method caches at call sites, so you can have a slow lookup for a method handle which is cached and invokes as fast as InvokeVirtual the next time it's called.

HotSpot can also inline code using InDy just like it can inline virtual method dispatch in Java. This lets the JIT compiler optimize across several methods, potentially implemented in many languages, as if they were a single body of code.

InDy will play a particularly important role in JDK8, where it's used to implement lambdas.

> 6 lane divided roads with a 50km/h speed limit.

It's important to note that there isn't an obvious relationship between traffic volume and traffic speed. If you model traffic separation as a constant two seconds (front-to-front) your traffic flow is 1800 vehicles per hour at all speeds.

Of course, your average person cares more about how close the back of the car in front of them is, so flow rates at very low speeds are lower than at high speeds. At higher speeds you get other problems, though - traffic gets "patchy" as some people get a little nervous, as people drive at different speeds and so on.

You probably get the most people per hour through a lane of traffic at around 60km/h. Everyone's travelling at about the same separation and about the same speed, and they're all tailgating the guy in front of them trying to make him go a little faster. The speed leaves enough breathing room for everyone to drive consistently, which is supposed to be the big benefit of these self-driving cars.

Of course, these lower limits seem to increase travel times in a very obvious way, and the congestion relief they provide is pretty abstract. It's understandable that people aren't entirely convinced.
