Pressing a remote button telling the car to start seems no different, correct?

There is no reason that a fully autonomous fleet of cars is unsafe, only a matter of convincing stubborn old people to embrace advanced technologies.

If the car is unsure of what to do (road conditions change or map doesn't match road) then pull off to the side of the road and wait for a remote human to say "ok, you're clear, carry on".
It's often stated that there is some kind of deep contradiction between quantum theory and relativity, so in an effort to add a comment here, I went off to google that, and found this: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/387/a-list-of-inc... where there's a pretty comprehensive treatment of the question, from which I'm not even qualified to reliably pull a quote.

In general, though, since reality is usually assumed to be consistent, at least for purposes of doing physics, any set physical theories which have mutually inconsistent consequences wouldn't normally be elevated to the status of "laws" since the immediate implication would be that one or more of them must be erroneous, right?

Which is why it's better to just avoid mentioning it and just always communicate to the best of your ability (unless say, you can't the word you are thinking of and want to reach out for help).
Nobody is trying to make it illegal for him to get married. Who is being bigoted towards him in any way?

Very cool site, seems to be very well implemented. I can see it becoming a much more "useful" Pinterest, at least to me. I love cruising around for cool stuff to buy, and it seems to make good suggestions of related items based on other users' likes (which I'm guessing is weighted by your friends list).
You said

>if you read the article, you'd see they're working on OEM deals

I did read the article and didn't recall that, so I re-read. This is what I saw:

>It’ll take some time for Gbatteries to get its technology embedded with third-party OEMs
This gets brought up and debunked in every single thread on this topic.
and is no longer simply a political opinion upon which decent people may disagree.

So....what shall be done with the people who have been deemed indecent?

Rounded up, perhaps? Subjected to re-education?
Mindblown.
I swear, every single argument against gay marriage is just a refurbished argument against interracial marriage. These arguments were bullshit then, and they are bullshit now. You should be ashamed of yourself.
But I've read so much about Tesla being really intelligent with charging. Wouldn't they have already thought of this?

(Or at least be doing enough intelligent things already that they wouldn't get much additional improvement?)
"In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread." -- Anatole France
You have no idea whether he's funded those causes. The only reason you know about Prop 8 is because the full list of donors to both sides was posted and everyone started looking at it. That's not typical for political donations. As far as I can tell, campaign donation recipients don't even have to publicly report donations of less than $1000 in California.

Of course from what I can tell, he also hasn't spoken publicly about the particular issue at hand, except to the extent that people asked him direct questions about it based on the abovementioned public list of donations.

I agree that the issue of climate change is a complete non-sequitur here, though.
Ah, the slippery slope. What's next? 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, or has that been done already. Hey everybody in the world, this is how dictators stop free speech and tighten control on their people. Technologists need to think about these things going forward in all the work we do.
Pretty good product too, VisualGDB is the only tool that actually works to do C/C++ debugging on Android.

I find that for this kind of query in Chrome, I end up using keyword search: I focus the address bar, type "goog" and press tab, and then type my search query.

It never occurs to me to do it until I see the error page, though; it's always a bit of a hassle.
Politics has become utterly toxic.

I think part of the problem is that it's become an identity thing. That's been intentional on the part of political campaign strategists, since it helps them.

It's distressing to see how successful their self-interested manipulation has been.

I'm talking about this in broad terms, not any specific issue, and certainly not just this one. And it's both sides of the issues, not merely one party or the other.

It's the most insidious kind of marketing there is.
We're not enough killed, or was it the method of extermination that makes you say "so called"?
If Eich supported Prop 8 in California, then clearly he's a homophobic tool of the Koch Brothers.

If Eich opposed Prop 8, then clearly he's a leftist degenerate and tool of George Soros.

You're doing something at least as logically incorrect as the application of partisan labels if you're characterizing this discussion in such a way. I see a pretty good discussion where the overwhelming majority of people are expressing disappointment in one of Eich's actions, not engaging in partisan name-calling.
That's besides the point: My argument is that we need to understand it in a historical context.

52% of Californians voted for Prop 8 in 2008. But: Had you asked 10, 25, 50, 100 years before that, what would the outcome have been? Draw a graph along that line through 2008 and you can track the development of public opinion.
It would have been nice if he also addressed that issue in this message instead of a staff meeting. I mean, like, there is literally a world watching (geographically, not necessarily when it comes to population).
So if a pizza delivery guy gets shot on the way do you still demand better service? Just trying to see if you believe in the principle or just the practical aspect. :)
Right because government marriage is really doing a great job at that with its >50% divorce rate. Of course there's also the fact that your position is incredibly unimaginative - you can't imagine there are other systems of social organization, other than government licensed marriage, that might be an even greater public good? As long as we keep promoting the paradigm of government sponsored marriage we'll keep going down the same rabbit hole.
Maybe this doesn't bother you at all. But the structure of your argument also supports anti-interracial marriage laws.

Blacks and whites are treated the same - both are free to marry people of the same race. Some may prefer not to do that, but they do have the legal right.
Your summary of what Eich is "basically saying" seems misleading and intended to incite others. I am highly doubtful that he believes other people don't deserve the same rights he does but instead disagrees as to if certain things are right or privileges.

While I do not agree with Eich's views, framing the argument this way accomplishes nothing but fanning the fires. It makes one side feel oppressed and the other attacked. It puts everyone into a defensive mode rather focusing on the real issues. At worst it is manipulative at best it is close minded.
This has almost nothing at all to do with Apple.

I'm a little sad that folks can't get past the proof-of-concept product.

3 ways crowdsourcing content can increase engagement and reach
Just to give yet another perspective.

You seem to imply that the Armenian Genocide is not a fact but an allegation. Well just as an example, here is an quote from the wikipedia article that was shared:

'Volkan Vural, retired ambassador of Turkey to Germany and Spain[...]states that, "I think that, the Armenian issue can be solved by politicians and not by historians. I don't believe that historical facts about this issue is not revealed"'

It is an old story and the events of the genocide are known well enough for it not to be an allegation anymore. Right after your own quotation was written: "The word genocide was coined in order to describe these events"

"you should at least consider removal of Germany as a member from EU"

I don't think removal of Germany should be considered based on what was said here since Germany acknowledged their genocide and provided excuses in several instances as well as money.

No idea where "intentional physical harm" came from, but it wasn't me.

Preventing a family from getting married is harm. It is at the very least expensive in time and money. But it also puts children at substantial risk. See the recent decision on the Michigan Marriage Amendment for more on that: http://www.freep.com/assets/freep/pdf/C4220110321.PDF

"3749.11 mph"

Six sig figs... impressive. I was under the impression the scuds were not quite built up to that level of precision.

This is to some extent meta-humor as the whole point of the story is the programmers involved needed an engineer helping them who understands sig figs and the effect of built up error tolerances.
It's entirely true, and means I could run my MacBook Air off of USB power at 5 volts and one amp (5 watts), but zero battery charging. Unfortunately Apple doesn't allow this scenario, but the math works out...
This was a marketing piece if I've ever seen one. But to throw salt in the wound, looking on the companies website their product doesn't seem to do what the article claims. At least not without additional custom code. Which leads you to a situation of "get started easily in 6 easy hours!".

The idea seemed great though. Give them an email, get back a dossier on the person.
There are billions to be made in the automated transport truck industry, there are large barriers to entry though.

Companies would embrace the technology because the cost of a driver is so high (100k+ per year to pay a driver, benefits, and insurance).
Good luck to these folks. Sometime ago I was thinking about ethnic restaurants in my area and got interested in exactly this: what is the best location for a particular ethnic restaurant. For just this one domain there are a lot of variable to consider, so it'd be interesting to see how PiinPoint is doing it as they are not domain specific, and how effective their solution is.

Regardless, this is a great problem to solve and wish them all the luck.
A point of reference here before the onslaught of "they must be crappy coders if they're that slow" remarks begins.

A few LOC/day rate is generally accepted to be the overall rate of development from Requirements through Final Verification/Validation. That is, you may write a product of 10kloc in just a few months of coding, but the entire software aspects of the project actually took about 2.5 years to complete.

I don't do avionics (though it sounds like more fun. Greener grass on that side, etc...), but this is the way we measure LOC in medical devices.

To your other point, well, that's easy to say until the people killed are your loved ones. No company that plans to stay in business (or its officers out of jail) can afford to be blase about killing its customers.
my thoughts exactly. today i'll be striking Mozilla from the list of companies i'd potentially enjoy employment with.
I love Need/Want's products (SmartBedding, Mod Notebooks, etc), but I really love how open their blog posts are. The AirBnb ones and product ones that list all costs are incredibly informative, since nobody likes to talk about stuff like that.
Or they just think the practice of government marriage-sanctioning should be scrapped altogether, rather than extending the privilege to one more politically-popular group and pretending that you're ending discrimination.

How noble of this demographic to sacrifice the marriage rights of others while they pursue their ultimate goal of removing government from such matters altogether!
If you really want marriage to be abolished or privatized or whatnot, you have a few million straight married people to convince...

"Nobody should have it, but especially they shouldn't" is what that functionally boils down to in the world of the real.

That's a really bad position to hold, too.
Actually title should have been "Turkey has blocked Google DNS to access Twitter". Because Google DNS is working fine for other sites.
Really nice idea, and I love the name! Out of interest, does anybody know how they went about seeding it in a university? The article just skips over it as a quick step along transitioning to SV, but it sounds really hard to do.
>A more non-conventional Java (but very far from crazy) is to use property accessors (person.name) instead of methods (person.getName()) for "data objects" (structs, really).

Yeah, it's a bit of a fallacy that requiring getters and setters (especially as simple pass-thrus) for simple properties is required for "good" OO (particularly that it maintains encapsulation). The bottom line is that providing both getters and setters makes the property mutable just as it would be via direct property access. Except now there's a performance penalty, as you mentioned.

And renaming a property typically means renaming the getters and setters anyway lest the property name no longer makes sense internally. Any good IDE will allow you to accommodate either refactoring (property name or accessor method names) with ease.

Initially, setters were also intended to allow the object to fire an event in the case that it's Observable or otherwise participating in a listener-style event system, such as that prescribed by the JavaBeans spec. But, in practice, that pattern is followed so rarely that it hardly merits forcing all of that baggage on every value object ever written.

No, he's probably not afraid of gay people, exactly, but is certainly ignorant of how gay people love. Often, though, once it gets humanized, this type of fear goes away.

So I'd say, give him a chance. Think of the win if he is convinced to change his mind.

But makes the issue public and shows up the nature of the "dodgy" stock classes.

And it woudl mean that the board woudl have to stand up and either defend what they did or admit they are law breakers.

I'm a bit to young to have been driving the original mustangs but I am a Ford guy. If I were to get a mustang it would have to be manual no doubt. The 302 Boss has always appealed to me. I typically don't buy flashy stuff but in the case of the mustang I would go all out with the classic baby blue with black stripes or orange/red with black stripes.

Something along these lines:

Characterizing sexual orientation as a preference (not to mention a casual preference that can be changed when convenient) ignores the large volume of evidence to the contrary. You may not realize this, but it comes off as pretty vile. Or you might just be trolling.
Since Rust macros MUST end with a !, it's easy to tell what is a macro and what is not.
Perhaps her comment that she was single and non-technical is true. She could have found her co-founder on her own and gave it a shot, but that relationship didn't work out for any number of reasons, leaving her on her own again. Who knows. Finding co-founders that fit isn't easy!
Or he's against laws that leave religious freedom ambiguous. For instance, I'm 100% in favor of allowing 2 people of the same gender to marry, but I'm also 100% against a law that would require (or leave the issue ambiguous) a religion to perform those marriages to receive 1st Amendment protections. So if I donated to support a law that violated the second principle, would that make me anti-gay?

edit: To illustrate the relevance, the main criticism I heard from Prop 8's opponents was exactly this. It wasn't the usual references to Sodom & Gomorrah or that kind of thing.
The more I think about it, ageism is mostly about reducing perceived costs: Older people have families, more experience (in general), demand higher salaries, and are less likely to put in crazy hours. They can still totally be worth it.
Actually no, if this worked it would be a 30-minute meeting.

<Gbatteries> Our patented technology extends the charge-cycle life of standard lithium-ion batteries by at least 200%, and we can prove it.

"Additionally, there are no restrictions at any level for engineering candidates."

Basically their agreed upon policy says that they can hire any engineers they want, but you better not hire one of our managers! What an indictment of the higher value attributed to managers over engineers.
My alternative theory might explain it: Bad actors who stuff their photos with 30 keywords also use shill accounts to like them.
This is a really good point. In the context of the headline however, it's listed in a string of characteristics which would normally be considered obstacles which the founder overcame, and I do not see gender as an obstacle.
We (the staff) asked for a public statement of some sort, and he seemed open to that.

Oh, by no means do I think BI is a bad tradeoff. I just want to be clear about the benefits and the drawbacks.

Regarding entrepreneurship in particular: the reduction in risk will tend to push toward an increase; the reduction in pressure to work at all will tend toward a decrease. At sensible levels of BI, I expect the former to win out and that we'd see an increase overall.

Rationality is not the only factor we should look at.

Think of having sex with 12 years old girls - there is nothing irrational in it (it was normal and legal a few hundred years ago), why we keep it forbidden now?

Similarly it is not legal to merry 4 woman (or man). Why? Where is rationality in forbidding this. In fact rational is the opposite - it would be good to have spare wife or husband, just in case of death or ilness.
