To Musk, highway speeds are not the challenge; the complexity of the landscape is. “Highway cruise is easy, low speed is easy, it’s medium that's hard. Being able to recognize what you’re seeing and make the right decision in that suburban environment in that 10 mph to 50 mph zone is the challenging portion.”

Indeed, staying at home shouldn't be seen as anti-feminist. It should be seen as contra-modern-capitalism.
Unless I'm mistaken, they're not really comparable. GWT is an entire framework (Java front and back), as opposed to React being a component rendering library (the V in MVC). It would be more accurate to compare GWT to Node, or React to Polymer.

So how does Wallaby run your front-end tests, if not in a real browser?

Even if it does run in a real browser, cross-browser issues are common enough in my work that my TDD loop always includes multiple browsers. I wouldn't be willing to give that up for what Wallaby offers.

Part of the reason I'm interested in something like Wallaby is that running in multiple browsers is slow--but if I could run just the right subset, it would be fast enough for my needs. (And Karma still runs about 200 tests / second on my mid-2002 MacBook Pro, across 10 browsers, including IE VMs, so it's not like Karma is that slow.)
I bought a new car in Sept 2014. It uses radar to do adaptive cruise control all the way down to stop and go. It also uses camera's to sense the lanes and steer to keep lane. Also handles emergency braking and people cutting me off.

So basically, I choose the on-ramp and off-ramp and the car does the rest on the highway. I feel like it's the midpoint between a manual car and an autonomous car.

After a few months of using this every day, driving in a normal car feels different than it used to. It's like driving a manual instead of an automatic.

The car is a fully loaded 2015 Chrysler 200C.
OK, but unminimized JS still has no bearing on trusted computing.

What about Intel TXT (maybe?) and the upcoming SGX? Although I've not seen details on how the key system works with SGX. But assuming each processor has a unique ID/public key signed by Intel, and assuming we trust Intel and assume it's not profitable/plausible for a darknet to undo Intel's hardware protection, SGX seems to be exactly what the OP is asking for.
This is solving the wrong problem. Car self-driving through 2-4 rush hours does not solve the problem. Not having 2-4 rush hours would.
That post was from 2010. I think you vastly underestimate the difficulty of building from scratch rich, modern single-page apps that satisfy today's users' needs. Have a look at "7 Principles of Rich Web Applications" [1] by the creator of Socket.io, and at my comparison between Meteor and the MEAN stack [2].

By the time you've built a reliable data synch transport that watches the server database and pushes changes to clients over intermittent connections, then pushes changes from client back to servers when they reconnect, all this with access control, a Meteor developer will have built 10 proof-of-concept apps, determined the product-market fit, and have a working web app for users to use.

Depends on the drivers and the passengers. But there's a difference between a 5-10 minute restroom stop and a 30 minute recharging stop.

Random thought- the drivers on long distance trips self-select for people who like to keep going.
Wow, I didn't realize they had been building in the necessary sensors all along. To just light this up one day for the existing fleet with an OTA update is nothing short of astounding.
Exactly. And by the time you do need to scale, Meteor Development Group will have released Galaxy, the enterprise-grade Meteor hosting platform, which is their money maker.
It is a little bit different. Commodities can be produced by multiple people and end up being the same thing. Now there are other factors involved I can contribute to economic rent being charged. For example, the hotdog vendor at the bottom of my building can charge 1.05 for the hotdog, whereas the guy at the other side of the park will have to charge .65 for me to walk past the guy charging 1.05. It's tough to get away from economic rent.

The interesting difference to eg. the Meiji revolution, and what makes this really uncharted territory, is that the extreme aging of Japan makes both democratic and violent upheaval near-impossible. You can't vote out the bastards, because the pensioner vote outweighs the youth, and any violent students/revolutionaries will not be able to get the majority of the population on their side.

As a practical example, my father-in-law was a salaryman with a rock-solid pension and amazing health care (a month in a hospital costs $50, etc). His generation has no incentive to change the system that has worked for them -- even though it imposes an increasingly unsustainable burden on the ever-shrinking working generations paying for it.
Just add in some built in wifi and you could get a lot of work done while on you are going somewhere.
It's a different kind of risk, though. In the last few years "cell-free DNA tests" -- sequencing fetal cells that are circulating in the mother's bloodstream -- have become common (and paid for by health insurance), and they detect chromosomal abnormality as early as 8 weeks into the pregnancy. If you aren't ethically opposed to abortion, the risk of Down's can be the "well, damn, guess we'll try again in a few months" sort of risk.
Yip, quite a good episode of the Infinite Monkey Cage also talked about it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b052hptj "What is the point of plants"
I read him/her as referring to the mail server lacking an IPv6 reverse DNS address. This is a fairly common oversight, since IPv6 connectivity is getting more common, but many providers' control panels allow only easy self-setting of the IPv4 RDNS. Many mailservers are set up to reject mail from senders who lack an RDNS (and/or have one that doesn't forward-resolve back to the original IP), so in that situation, if you connect over IPv6 you may get rejected. The solution is to either disable IPv6 (less preferred option), or set a reverse DNS name for your IPv6 address (more preferred).
Does anyone know what my car insurance rate would do if I got a car that will let me nap or read a book on the way to work? That is one major issue I haven't seen addressed.
This is the first step to that solution, though - if all cars are self-driving optimally, that 2-4 hours rush becomes much shorter.
Funny how they way they abused their power was by getting a law passed.

The lidar that google uses provides a huge amount more information. Add that to the detailed maps that the google vehicle uses and it's pretty clear that these vehicles aren't really trying to do the same thing. Google's trying to handle fully driverless operation but Tesla's going for a more immediately commercializable middle ground.
If anyone is interested in the history of long-distance telephony in the US, the PBS documentary "Transistorized!" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381663/) (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA97634694AC92A93) has a great explanation into Bell Labs' long-standing interest in the transistor going back to the use of vacuum tubes in signal amplification on the long stretches of telephone cable. The documentary is also really cool since it shows you the inner lives of Shockley, Brattain and Bardeen leading up to the discovery.

All Musk promised in the near term for autonomous driving is lane keeping. Everything else was either wishy-washy "eventually, someday" or imagined by the article's author.
"Mostly self-driving" just seems crazy to me. As soon as the car is able to drive on a major highway, you're going to have "asleep at the wheel" issues, and the car cannot simply hand back control to the driver.

There have been times when I've misjudged my level of tiredness. Drifting out of lane is a good marker that you've screwed up and need to pull over immediately and sleep.

Does Tesla have some way to determine wakefulness or to safely pull over if the driver fails to respond?

If the above function mutated 'bar', then it wouldn't be referentially transparent, which is a lot more error prone and problematic than the trivial error your colleague made.

That said, that function looks strange. What were those other lines of code doing if they didn't contribute to the result? Doesn't look like a referentially transparent function to me.
Just curious, do you still keep your eyes on the road with adaptive cruise control? Or do you tend to do other things?
The previous generation experienced massive pressure not to return to the workforce after having children, so it makes sense that the pendulum would swing to having career success before children. Hopefully the future actually involves flexibility about career/job breaks required for having children as well as the care situation afterwards.

The biology of the situation doesn't just relate to fertility though, life spans have an impact on the probability of seeing your children and grandchildren reach certain ages.
If we could fuel tugs with material from off-planet, then it wouldn't be nearly as expensive to do this.
This issue has been weighing heavily on me. My Dad was 36 when I was born and is now 70 years old. My fiance and I are both professionals and have our kids planned for 2018 when she is done working 80 hour weeks. By then my Dad will be around 74. Considering my grandfather died at 85, that doesn't leave a whole lot of time left to have a big impact. Plus, that likely means I won't have much time with my potential grandchildren either if my children also don't have kids until their late 30s and assuming quality lifespan doesn't increase dramatically.

I would recommend calling and ask to see if you qualify for anything. Never assume you don't. You never know.

It practically cost you nothing to call and see.
TPMs cannot, AFAIK. But Intel SGX can. It allows you to remotely verify code running on the processor and provide inputs that can only be decrypted by the secure enclave. How I'm guessing this would play out is:

1. Site publishes its hardware public key, allows users to verify it can sign on behalf on an Intel processor.

2. Site publishes source and reproducible build, so everyone can agree on a hash of acceptable bits.

3. Users submit requests encrypted to that public key (there's also something missing, where the key is actually a combination of the public key plus the hash of the executable code. Maybe the processor signs another cert for a specific proc+code combo).

4. Server can only decrypt when it has access to the matching private key, which is only available after entering the secure enclave.

5. If the server could decrypt the request and sign a response, the user knows it was handled by the right bits.

This still has many problems, the main one being that users are not going to really verify anything anyways. Also the data storage and all important handling needs to be done with encryption, so an admin can't just change the data.

But in theory, assuming no one can break the secure enclave/trust chain, it's a pretty nifty solution.

A lot of people who do not understand fertility (female fecundity -- the ability to conceive) and others give wrong info from comments I've seen here.

The Amerian Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) the doctors orgninzation of fertilty doctors (called Reproductive Endocrinologists) says that women are most likely to conceive in their 20's to early 30's. Elite egg donor agencies that offer $20,000 for donor eggs in Ivy League student newspapers want donors under 29 or 28. Studies show that 3 out of 4 men and women overestimate by five years the rapid decline in fecundity believing that it is 40 when it is in fact 35.

The ASRM does not yet recommend egg freezing for delaying childbirht but rather for situations such as chemotherapy for cancer which would destroy the eggs in the ovaries.

Fertility speicalists (S. Silber and others) recommend that if women expect to wait beyond 30 to have children they should have an antral folllicle count ultrasound at age 25. Other fertilty speciialsts have recommended other tests at age 25 (eg, FSH, or anti-Mullerian hormone).

There are no non-invasive tests to test for ovarian reserve which varies from woman to woman. Unfortunately, studies shiow that doctors (include those internetists that might write birth control medication perscriptions) don't have any better understanding of ages of female fertilty than the general public. Obstetricians do know but they don't always discuss the age issues with their patients.

In summary, women should consider getting a test for their ovarian reserve (antral follicle count ultrasound or above mentioned laboratory tests sooner rather than later) so that they can make informed decisions. The article listed above and its references will provide a lot of information. * Consult reproductive endocrinologists for correct information about fecundity.
There is an alternative to paying off mega-debt - defaulting. Just as Germany did when they were forced to pay ridiculous war reparations after WWI (after a period of hyperinflation as they tried to print their debts away, much in the spirit of the EU QE efforts).

If Germany is paying for all of this and building an unsustainable debt by not investing in European infrastructure and businesses that will generate it a return, then so be it - this is a problem for Germany. They'll either have to start seizing assets or annulling debt.
It makes sense that exactly tesla might not want to be the first company to launch that technology. A major failure would be an existential risk to them (just from publicity and momentum).
PART II: ATTENDING MY FIRST HACKATHON
I disagree, obviously.

If "strong emotions" were enough to diminish impact and authority, the ad business would simply be placards of bullet points. Even on HN, well-written and cool posts routinely are ignored or actively downvoted.

In the grand scheme of things, politeness is a good idea--but there are a few places where being nice simply won't get you as far as calling somebody out passionately on their wrongness. Low-level systems programming on large codebases with smart and stubborn and harried people is one of those cases.

Mentally it's less stressful to get behind another car and just let the computer control the speed and distance the whole way. You stop caring if they are going 55 or 77. I just sit there and listen to podcasts. I stay alert though, and I've avoided the urge to read or something.

Toyota definitely has technology to detect whether the driver is asleep and wake up the driver. (I am not sure if this technology has hit the market yet so I can't comment on what the implementation is)

You can then wake up the driver by actuating the seat or sounding an alarm.
While it seems cool, this doesn't solve anything. At best it just shifts trust onto Terminal. And really, there's nothing stopping a malicious VM owner to "fix" up things to a good looking state, then show off that snapshot, then revert and continue.

A solid example to keep in mind is MtGox. How can we run something and know no invalid trades are added, no fake password resets processed, etc etc.
You have established that person B is not going to follow the law in any case. So if there is a law in place preventing person B from possessing a machine gun, person B is still going to acquire a machine gun and use it illegally and person A is still harmed.

You haven't solved the problem by moving the solution further up the chain, but you have prevented responsible, law-abiding folks from acquiring a machine gun.

Laws against possession of heroin and laws against possession of fire arms work the same way with a lot of the same externalities. So it is odd that you would point to the failure of one to advocate for the other.

Not sure about Tesla but the technology DOES exist and some cars do currently have it.

For better or worse, this is more historically common with men, even in previous generations. Both of my parents' fathers were in their late 40s when they were born, in the 1940s. And yes, that left the fathers quite old when their kids grew up, and very old by the time they were or could have been grandfathers. My paternal grandfather died before I was born, and I only knew my maternal grandfather because he lived to a quite old age (he was in his 70s when I was a young kid, and lived into his 90s). There are elevated risks of some diseases with older men, but fertility declines slowly, so it hasn't needed space-age technology for that kind of generational structure to emerge.
