Journaist who covered the Freightiner/State of Nevada annuncment last week here. The article's summary of the current state of truck autonomy is quite cogent There's an explainer link below for those looking for more detail, but the point Daimler Trucks execs and engineers emphasized is that they have no plans to pursue Level 4 (no driver needed) autonomy. (Although I don't recall that they were pushed on a timeframe for that commitment.)

So, as is, this is very much a tool to benefit drivers; i.e., cruise control with steering. But the critical point, as the article notes before taking the leap truck drivers are soon to disappear, is that trucking is big business (collectively) and if this technology can be suppoerted by the business case, then it will be adopted as rapidly as pubic policy permits.

However, the author doesn't take into consideration a couple of things:

1: The trucking industry is having a very hard time finding drivers (waaaay tough gig for over-the-road guys). While this may support the notion that trucking companies will rush to adopt autonomus vehicle tech, it takes away some of the punch of his basic income thesis: people don't want to do this job.

Truck drivers come from the same pool as construction laborers and factory workers, and when the economy is good there's a driver shortage because workers prefer jobs that let them go home every night compared to sleeping in a truck for weeks at a time. So in this case, basic income is, at best, a trucking industry subsidy. Otherwise, it's make-work.

2: The trucking industry is very fragmented. We're all familiar with many of the big fleet names we see on trailers every day, and while these mega-carriers haul a large percentage of the freight, they're far outnumbered by the number of companies with five or fewer trucks. And there's a great deal of conflict between the policies sought by well-capitalized larger firms (with money to invest in new tech and often lobby to have it manadated) and the Joe's Trucking Cos who are one breakdown or accident from going out of business. But Joe stays in businees because because he fills a niche the big guys aren't interested in.

And Joe ain't going to buy a robot, not that he'd mind staying in the office while his truck deivers freight without him, but because he can't afford it.

So either the fully driverless truck is going to become so operationally efficient that big trucking companies can move into these niches and fill spot demand, or the technology is going to be so affordabe that the little guy adopts it and then uses his niche expertise to grow is business. Both are wins for the overall economy, with the latter actually staving off a further concentration of capital--which I guess would be a good thing for the basic income crowd. (And as a journlist, I assure you I'm not averse to the concept.)

Quadrant – Economic and Financial Data Set for Researchers
In practice, it is extraordinarily easy to move a React component from one place in the UI to another, most especially if you're using Flux, so that components are decoupled.

That's been one of my favorite things about working with React: it actually works to design bottom-up, factoring low-level components out and then moving them around like cutouts.

I could not do things like that in Knockout, or, god forbid, Mustache and server-side templates; not without changing the application logic to account for the move.

True, but I have no reason to believe that my Asian and non-Asian friends differed in that regard.

The one I'd most label a "prestige seeker" wasn't Asian and got accepted into a great school right after undergrad, but that's an anecdote within an anecdote. Besides that, I wouldn't come close to calling any of them prestige seekers.
In what manner is taxing basic income anything other than a full-employment programme for bureaucrats? Surely it costs less in total to pay someone $10,000 a year than to pay them $12,000 and oblige them to fill out a (probably error-filled) income tax return, pay $2,000 in taxes, and have to process all that paperwork, payments, refunds, audits, etc. Same arguments apply to SSRI and other similar schemes. Just make it nontaxable and then if someone had no other significant sources of income they just do nothing.

As a matter of policy, I'm all for broadening the tax base, ideally to 100%. But that makes zero sense in concert with BI.

Look at some of the states in the map that claim truck driver as the highest - CA, TX, MI, IL; these are not low-population states.

What's happened here is that the statistics are very poorly represented. Jobs like 'teacher' and nurse are broken down to fine-grained distinctions, while seemingly everyone who touches a truck steering wheel is lumped in as a truck driver. Lies, damned lies, and...

How Money Runs Our Politics
Gnome shell is CPU hungry and I can tell I'm not alone with that because I did a lot of google search on it. Even when dragging windows around, CPU usage skyrockets to 40-60% and it's not even smooth. And that's with gpu acceleration, I can't even imagine what would've happened if it were on software rendering. Not to mention memory usage of gnome shell only increases with time.

They are all known issues but shell developers blame proprietary Nvidia driver, maybe that's why you are more happy with gnome shell than I am :) (Though I still can't get how cpu usage skyrockets when dragging windows.)
If you use react-router (port of ember's router), you get a view of the components on the page for each route. Then you can drill down into your component of interest.
> Personally I'm not too concerned about this at the undergrad level.

But if you accept it here, why not accept it everywhere?

Either race-based discrimination is bad and should never be done or acceptable in some cases. If it's bad, Harvard (and others) should stop immediately. End of story.

If it's acceptable in "some cases" the next question is: Who determines those cases? And then: Are there a set of fixed criteria or is it a case by case basis? If it's case by case, who empowers and chooses the group making the decisions? What oversight and rules are on this group?

The "some cases" scenario is ripe for malfeasance and influence peddling.. which is just another "good old boys club."

Yeah I haven't heard anyone suggest a flat tax in conjunction, but social security and unemployment could be eliminated, food stamps cut sharply, Pell grants all but eliminated, and so on. I'd conservatively estimate that a trillion of the $2.8 trillion cost could be offset through reduced social spending elsewhere. Another $600B or so would come back to the government in the form of income taxes. So net you are looking at $1.2T. No question, that's a lot of money but it's not far off from the size of the MIC. It's a choice that could be made.
That's an interesting point, and indeed NT has a curious history in that regard - Microsoft was originally planning an OS/2-based API as the dominant one, and it was only due to the success of Windows 3.0 that they ended up adapting the Windows API to 32 bits.

Microsoft has always been dominated by backwards compatibility constraints so there probably wasn't much scope for a massive redesign of the API, as it was in their best commercial interests for 16 and 32 bit Windows APIs to match as closely as possible, to ease porting of third party software.

Ask HN: How do you troubleshoot network problems?
Is there a good source of information on how to tackle network problems or is this an hopeless ad-hoc skill?

After reading this recent thread [0] I have to wonder how the heck would I troubleshoot this!?

I know the basics:
- check if the NIC module is loaded
- check if you have an IP
- check that you can ping the gateway
- check that you can ping the your target
- check that you can telnet to port
- check iptables (or temporarily flush all and set default to accept)
- try to see something that stands out in wireshark

But how do you go from there?

For example, one friday ago, during wee hours I lost connection to the target host. I was ssh multi hopping and for some reason my immediate thought was "the target host 'died'". "But wait a sec, let's go one step at a time".

It was in fact the connection to my first hop at our local network. So I went to the physical machine. I had an IP. And every time I restarted the network I always got an IP. But I was unable to ping the gateway... 90% of the times. Then it came to me that some months ago other people on the same subnetwork had complained in the past about temporary network loss. I restarted the switch but it didn't help.
My current theory is that of a faulty network switch, but this is yet to be confirmed.

The problem I had/have? looks to be way simpler than the one mentioned in [0], but networks feel a bit like some dark magic.

So any advices on improving your network detective skills?

Advertising just annoys people -- to the extent that they will install software designed to block it.

This post backs up the statement you hated so much though. That OSX is just a mod of various components plus an old era Unix kernel at the core. You literally validated the point.

OSX is a strange OS to use. It looks and feels good at first glance but when you have used it for a year, one really longs to return to a pure Windows environment. OSX has weird bugs like the beachball cursor which is something that simply shouldn't happen in a modern OS. The last Windows to have a global lock like that was 9x.

I wish I could share your serious doubt about people's capacity to be assholes toward each other. I can assure you that here in America some people have made that particular pursuit the object of their life's work. And they have pursued it with great vigor and success.

--

There is bad behavior from both cyclists and drivers but when drivers do it the results can be lethal. There is also a lot of damage done that simply results from driver ignorance; a lot of older drivers here believe it is illegal to cross a double yellow so they don't pass at a safe distance. Then there are many that simply believe bikes don't belong on the road and damned if they are going to do anything -- like slow down, or alter their course in any manner -- to "accommodate" them. In their minds, if they hit you, it's your damned fault, you don't belong on the road. And, of course, sure as there is gravity, there are drivers that do it intentionally.

I agree very strongly with your last paragraph. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should -- especially when interacting with other parties that believe what you are doing is illegal. "Taking the lane" is a cyclist action that many/most drivers in America do not understand and certainly do not like. Think of it from the driver's perspective. Drivers do not consider themselves to be dangerous. So when a cyclist 'takes the lane' to be safer, the action may appear irrational to them and can spark a bad interaction.

We have a curious situation unfolding in the U.S. where city planners and managers are encouraging people to commute by bike and engage in activities like 'taking the lane' in certain situations, but they are not taking additional efforts to educate motorists about the actual rules of the road and the motorists tend to see cyclists as "obstacles" rather than fellow travelers. I find it interesting that city planners encourage cycling commuters, then while the people are riding to work the city's own buses nearly run them down.

Penn State severs engineering network after “incredibly serious” intrusion
Harvard vs. state school is far less important than med school vs. no med school.

The broader problem with med school is that we should have more med schools accepting more students, and then there wouldn't be such a stark "med school vs. no med school" scenario. So the root cause of that problem isn't racial discrimination, it's just that racial discrimintation in that context might have a much bigger impact due to some other unrelated factors.

Beyond the med school issue, racial discrimination in college admissions is pretty far down the list of issues in society that I'm worried about, because it just doesn't have that big of an impact.

This article seems vaguely similar to the Luddite's destroying automated manufacturing equipment because of the belief that it would take their jobs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite). It seems that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of basic economics. Yes truck driver jobs will go away but this does not mean the loss of jobs and income on the aggregate. The economy will change and shift resources to the now more efficient modes of transportation, which will benefit everyone.
The virtual DOM is nice, although the only time I've seen a noticeable difference from two-way binding in speed is for tables with 1,000's of rows. The whole bit about React being more predictable than two-way binding is just an opinion though. Since any component can emit an event and change data, it's just as prone to loops and unpredictability. It's really just two different ways of thinking through the process. One's not better than the other.
Interesting read. And one takeaway is that someone is missing out on a huge opportunity with the trackpad driver :-) But the really interesting thing is the software vs hardware design challenge at Apple. From a revenue standpoint MacOS is really a small business at Apple, but its Microsoft's "iPhone" (aka one of their main revenue drivers), so it isn't surprising that Microsoft is investing more than Apple in that space.

This is just an anecdote, but I share the parent's experience, too. I bought a low-end HP laptop around when Vista came out (2006/07?). It ran with Aero Glass, but not very smoothly. But first compiz-quinn and then beryl worked perfectly, also with the same blurred transparency effect that was slow on Windows. Even when I enabled the crazier effects like wobbly windows, it remained smooth, and used not noticably more resources. The only place a slowness was noticable was when quickly scrolling (webpages, for instance). However, this is still a problem on any non-Windows compositing DE in my experience.

At some point, "they" started to rewrite compiz, and it went downhill, until it was so slow I could not use compositing anymore.
Reading about this language gives me such a strange feeling. It makes me think of the cargo cults who worship airplane tributes due to once an airplane landing and providing supplies.

Ela is clearly inspired by Haskell. It copies syntax and surface-level features mercilessly. It's also devoted to being dynamically typed which dramatically undermines the meaning and development of those very features.

It makes for an interesting experiment. I can't say whether or not a dynamic language of this design is easy to work in compared with others.

But I read things like Ela's "algebraic data types" and shudder a bit (and then a lot when I find the "Circle (& 'hello')" example). They're definitely inspired by ADTs, but also definitely nothing similar. These ADTs are that alien from MIB who steals human skin---on the surface you might confuse them, but a different sort of life boils underneath.

I googled around a bit and found some discussion threads on this

sounds like 2k a month isn't unusual, but you can get this down if you look around and find a more neighborhood based one. These exist in SF too, they are licensed but tend to be run out of someone's house.

I'd say that for two kids, you'd probably be at over 3k a month easily in fairfax. Mortage on a 500k house with a 10% down would probably be about another 20k a year, so you're looking at a conservative estimate of $56,000 a year for childcare and mortgage costs (I know there's a deduction, but there are also property taxes and other housing related costs that in my experience offset this and then some). Keep in mind that if you're a 2 income professional family, your income is too high to qualify for a tax deduction for child care (I always wonder why people haven't identified this as one of the things that deters women from re-entering the workforce).

This is perfectly manageable on a good tech salary with a second spouse working - in SF, those numbers would probably be closer to 100k. So what is perhaps impossible in SF is absolutely workable in fairfax, though of course this really just scratches the surface, I don't know much about life in DC.

I'd still maintain that housing, health care, education/child care costs in both places probably still vastly eclipses the savings you can get from cutting back on things like cable, cars, or travel, unless you're extremely self indulgent or are in an unusual situation (such as a sick family member living at some distance from home).

But the big guys with their automated trucks will be possibly cheaper, and all these niche jobs jobs could potentially go to them.
