Hmm, I think you got it in reverse. We are talking about of properties of real physical things all the time here. We just can't expect to instantiate any random piece of math in the real world - like take a specific vector subspace and try to use it as a katana, that would be silly.

We take a physical system and apply some mathematical properties to it. In the case of bullet I think what is interesting is to model it's energy, E = 1/2 mv*v. Now, if we take the kinetic energy of a bullet, and apply it to any other object, and then instantiate this object in the real world the lethality of the object depends on the nature of the object. A ball of hay of a diameter of 1 m in 1 atm 10 meters away with the kinetic energy of a bullet does not sound lethal. An object more like a bullet, like an iron nail, probably can be. Gummy bear? Who knows.

The point is, the maths here are about physical things, although it can take a lot of experimental work to manufacture a specific physical system that exhibits behaviour which is modeled with specific piece of math.

I agree that it probably presented some level of danger to the public, but I maintain that (i) the added danger was small relative to the normal everyday danger of driving with humans; and (ii) the media exposure they've achieved by doing this on a public road has the potential to pressure Chrysler to remove tens of thousands of hazards (read: vulnerable Jeep Cherokees) from the road, which could ultimately reduce danger and save lives. It's not clear-cut when you're dealing with a vendor who chooses to ignore and/or litigate upon an initial disclosure instead of fix their product.

You've completely missed the point of the article, and the entire purpose of Free Software, if you think this is about 'providing users with products' and generating a return on investment.

Yup. Better software needed. But as an indication of how close we're getting Hans Moravec, a robot builder and robotics professor did a quite reasonable calculation of the processing power needed to build something equivalent to a human brain, using computer style algorithms rather than nerve simulation and came up with 100 million MIPS, ie. 100 terraflops (http://www.transhumanist.com/volume1/moravec.htm)

If you compare that with 2015 hardware then the Nvidia Titan X GPU does about 7 terraflops and costs about $1000 so with 15 Titans and a $20k system an hacker can have a reasonable go at building a human level AI (excluding memory hardware that is). That's only recently come about that that kind of power is getting down to hacker budget levels. It'll take a while to sort the software.

Though some recent software stories like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9584325 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9736598 show progress.
Erica is strongly implying that she was discriminated against either because of her colour or her sex, but these reports seem to suggest that there were other reasons for her PB rejection and the salary disparities, and therefore her entire spiel is (probably) invalid.

Some disparagement seems reasonable, unless she has some more evidence to back up her claims of discrimination.
I work in industry. Anything GPL is a non-starter. I totally understand and appreciate the concerns, but at BigCorp GPL doesn't play.

edit: I'm well aware that some people don't want industry using their code. Great! But that's really limiting the scope of who's going to get involved, and it's probably going to make it harder to get a sufficient community involved to help your project achieve liftoff.
Give me a break.

Yes there are problems in the US and EU with regards to spreading the benefits of increased productivity in the last few decades, but our societies are far from fascist states.

Yes the TTIP has to be scrutinized and yes we should be skeptical of public officials going into the same industries they regulate, however, trade negotiation isn't necessarily the same sort of situation.

Frankly, negotiating trade deals in the open is difficult precisely because trade usually creates winners and losers. Protected groups, like Europe's coddled farmers, are on the losing end of liberalization, but ALL citizens when with liberalization with falling food prices. But in an open negotiation the future beneficiaries have neither interest nor motivation to fight for their small price improvements, but the protected industry has every reason to marshal all its resources to spread FUD.

And this is what happens all the time. Right now I'm witnessing car dealerships in America spreading FUD about Tesla. Right now I'm witnessing taxi companies spreading FUD about Uber/Lyft. Hilton and other hotel chains are spreading FUD about AirBnB.

Always there is some cosmetic argument about some social protection, but it never stands up to scrutiny.

The logic of protecting EU farmers from competition rests on the concept of preservation of traditional landscapes, traditional ways of life, etc. But nobody analyzes the total cost placed on urban dwellers in EU to sustain these quaint things. If the true accounting is made and everyone is aware of the costs its one thing ... but rather the true costs are hidden behind layers of obfuscation, and people only suspect something is badly wrong when they come to Asia or America and see how cheap food actually is on the world market.

Being vigilant against corporate abuse doesn't mean you fall for every bullshit anti-establishment flavored FUD pushed by people trying to enforce the status quo so their favorite little protected industry survives.
I like the concept of short remixes made from the music (the music processing is impressively fast), but I noticed some glitches, sometimes the beat detection was not perfectly accurate and so the junctions were not beat-matching.
Also, the music sync is not as good as I expected: I made a few trials with different bunches of videos and music tracks, and for the majority of them the beat drop at the start of the chorus was missed. The rhythm of the video cuts was interesting, though.

> A person can’t get clean if they’re dead.

That line stood out the most to me and is something I think people regularly forget or choose to ignore. It really is a shame that due to the stigma most people don't bother sharing their story of recovery or more often don't even try to get better.

For all of Reddit's warts things like this and subs like /r/leaves (weed), /r/stopdrinking (alcohol), and I'm sure many more that I've never heard of are awesome resources where someone can ask for help without judgement or shame. Really it's just part of the internet as a whole allowing people to ask questions or read up on topics that normally would be taboo for them in their communities and is why I love the internet so much.
I'm not clear on the "invalid markup" portion. Aren't `data-*` attributes valid for all tags in HTML5? Also, if you really don't want them you can render with `React.renderToStaticMarkup`.
There is no reason to pit permissive and copyleft licensing against each other. Anyone doing so is doing a great disservice to user freedom.

Or, IMHO more likely, has an agenda that benefits from permissive licensing.
Every single highway crash involving a loss of control is now potentially a high-end assassination, including those that have taken place in the last few years.

How many people do you think will be murdered this way before investigators and the justice system catch up?
Or, when a generation who flocked to it, realizes it wasn't all that instrumental to their formation .. Just served as years of noise and chaos. So, they'll flee the city in droves , set up in the suburbs and then suburbs will be all the rage for young people hoping to have a more peaceful (involved) experience beyond the hustle and bustle of the city...

You say that will never happen? It already has and will again. It's the reason why there are seas of built up suburbs and a generation of kids and their kids who grew up in them.

There are cycles that exist beyond you... And sure, when you age and have had all your 'experiences', you get to reflect on which ones were of most value and you try to provide those for your kids. Of all my years of partying/being in the city and living it to its fullest, my biggest take-a-way was : I'm glad I experienced it enough to know I have no grand desire for what a city has to offer.
Poker math is great for quick estimation of whether an investment (time, money, or otherwise) is worthwhile. Poker is all about risk vs. reward, and puts you into the mindset of approaching risk statistically instead of using an all-or-nothing approach. Considering investments in that way allows you to get a better sense of whether or not something is worth your time, even if there's a non-zero chance of failure (or sometimes a near 100% chance of failure for an appropriately large payoff).
Whenever you hear any studies regarding robotic surgery, take it with a dump truck of salt. I worked at a hospital that was well known for robotic surgery and the surgeons are extremely hostile towards new technology of any sort. Any technology that has the potential to threaten their jobs in the future will have the severe bias in patient selection. The issue with these studies is the people who run them have a vested interest in ensuring that they do not show positive results.
Thank you for the feedback. There will be an article tomorrow analyzing more screenshots and presenting performance data too (memory traffic and rendering speed)
It's interesting that managers hope that they are needed.
I wonder if any of the real estate owners have considered applying for a dual-zone - residential and commerical. Then rehab the building into part offices for smaller businesses and apartments of some kind.

If you get enough of these clustered together then you start to have little urban-like communities instead of miles of office parks. Sprinkle in restaurants, dry cleaner, gym, etc. and you might attract enough tenants to turn it around. Better than being vacant.
It's worth remembering why the GPL was invented.

Stallman had a printer which had proprietary drivers, and he wanted to fix an issue with the driver. He couldn't. He created the GPL so that, in future, people wouldn't have this problem.

Stallman created the GPL because he cared about user freedom.
Calling the police is just going to discourage more researchers from even attempting "safe" experiments. Calling the Highway patrol is like trying to open an egg with a sledgehammer.
I think there's potential for all of that to come into the suburbs since it will eventually be so cheap to live there. Artists and squatters can turn these abandon office parks into co-ops and urban farms :)
Would be neat to pair this service or one like it with the "Deploy on Heroku"-type buttons/badges I've seen on github before. A "Run this container now" type thing.
My ideal would be a house on a lake, it would have a sufficient space for my son to play outside, and It would also have a high speed internet connection, which I could use to work etc.

Before there was telecommuting, there was commuting. What people with families ultimately want is more space. Grilling out, kids in the sandbox, etc. It's all focused on spending time with kids.

Commuting enabled this "country like lifestyle", while keeping the "city benefits" of a good job, and easy access to decent restaurants. As traffic grew though, the definition of commuting changed. This is where office parts came from, and it's also where chain restaurants came from. Going downtown was not an option any more for shopping (parking!? argh). But there's this mall just a mile up the road. Of course with a limited audience of families (the single people still saw the benefit of living in a city), with limited time and money. Chains are great answers.
> [edit] To be honest, I didn't even know you could downvote on HN. I've never seen a downvote button.

It's offtopic, but when you reach 500 karma (or thereabouts), you get the ability to downvote the comments you feel are a net-detriment to the discussion. Sometimes, when I express a particularly unpopular opinion I also get flagged. The result is what I call "the doghouse", it causes comments to sink to the bottom like stones for a few months, among other things. HN moderation has hidden mechanics and the results can be very frustrating. But in 99% of cases, when those special mechanics are not in effect, the system works pretty well.

First off, a "dangerous thing you can do" and "exploit" are not synonyms. So examples like anthrax attacks or home invasion are stupid and massively miss the point.

Secondly, nobody would give a fuck about this exploit if it was performed in controlled environment. The researchers knew it because they did this kind of stuff before. Guess what, the cars did not become any safer!

This much should be obvious to anyone with a hacking mindset. The comments in this thread read more like "Moms Against Drunk Driving Bulletin Board" than "Hacker News".
OK, so large companies won't extend your software. What's wrong with that?
Oh, I know this one! Is it c) "The developers were competent at designing car control software, but insufficiently concerned about the possibilities for remote control, and therefore didn't test appropriately"?
Agree, I'm the same way. I insist on being paid the same as people who live in the city though. My value doesn't change just because I live in a cheaper place.
This makes the usual false dichotomy between 'users' and 'developers' and positions GPL advocates as freedom fighters.

Also as usual, there is no mention of how a GPL based economy can work. The reason the GPL is not loved by developers as much as the freedom fighters would like is because we need to earn a living. If GPL advocates can address that, they would be able to stop wasting time with these rants.

The problem in Maryland is that the urban office spaces in DC are essentially just big ass office parks. Just a bunch of ugly ass 12 story, monstrosities.

I guess you get better lunch options. But personally I'd rather live in a cool place and commute to some boring ass office park.

That said--the cool areas in DC are pretty small and expensive. The average worker can't afford that with a family.
I've noticed the same thing, but interpreted it as an effect of political alienation during the Bush years. The post-9/11 freakout and series of military misadventures left me feeling like there is really no such thing as America; the America I live in consists of its high-density coastal cities and nothing more, all the rest being driven by a foreign culture I don't like or belong to.
The IRB as it currently stands it too strict with its regulations. Also, why should the researchers be regulated when the ones producing the things that are initially putting people into danger are not regulated (or are regulated by bureaucrats who couldn't tell you the difference between a buffer overflow and a SQL injection).
An agenda such as putting food on the table.
OK. I posted it because I didn't always know.

When I was 16, the message I received was that the rest of life would be more of the same and I should just learn to deal with it. I found some solace in the concept of a Final Protest.

If you don't want to generate a return on the investment of your time, it means you have an alternate source of wealth. Most of us do not have that luxury, and therefore cannot share in the vision of Free Software.
Sounds great! It could make things even way faster.
hm... "it's so simple it's hard to understand". i'm also very familiar with the 'monads can't be explained until later!' concept. yet folks who say they understand monads so often make heavy use of the term considerably earlier than "later".

"quantum physics" is an interesting reference for me. as it's often my job to implement quantum mechanics in software. computers are dumb. they 'understand' little beyond patches of memory upon which simple algebraic operations are done. so when i'm teaching quantum mechanics i often find it useful to explain how one applies it for (dumb) computers. "ooooh! second order differential equations are implemented as simple iterative passes over an array of floating point values - that's easy!" the student comes to see through the notable complexity of quantum mechanics by observing how we 'teach' it to a computer. why the hell do i bore you-all with this? well, it's possible that showing how one implements a monad in terms of dumb patches of memory, dumb interrupt vectors, bits and bytes, might not be a bad starting point for a common language ..maybe. anyway thank you for trying (it won't be the last time monads are null-functor flattened re-re-re-hashed)
Maybe you want your software to be used? I wish people could be a bit less religious and moralistic about licenses, especially the GPL camp.
No problems to be honest.

I use email/phone if I want to do something with someone (mostly phone). There may be events like a house warming party that only gets posted to FB, but somehow that tends to reach me through someone, and if they don't, well.. not much is lost to be honest.

To be fair, most of the people I hang out with aren't that into Facebook/other or even if they are, they know I'm not there so they reach out to me/my wife over the phone.

I'm in my early 30's if it it counts for anything.
I live an hour outside of Chicago and mostly work from home; I'm in the city maybe 1 day per week. I fought moving out of the city for a while, but I have really come to love it, especially when it comes to raising kids. When I have to head into Chicago, I take the train. It is weird how quickly you can go from yuppie to suburbanite. My property taxes are high, but my overall cost (and quality) of living is better than if I was living in Chicago.

The housing market by me has been stable with small (tiny) growth and consistent demand. Turnover for new construction has been solid.

Retail & office space, however, is suffering. If you're close to small downtowns with character, the story is different, but strip malls and shopping centers are amazingly screwed. Great example is the Charlestowne Mall in St. Charles. Just the anchors and a movie theater remain.

That said, I look at that excess capacity and see opportunity more than peril. And, it is worth noting, that excess capacity for office/retail space is an issue in city centers as well. This phenomenon is as much a result of changes in consumer behavior as it is subprime aftershocks. It is reductionist to claim otherwise.
I'm skeptical that you can call this a cycle when we have no idea what's going to happen... Suburbanization isn't some recurring thing that's happened countlessly throughout history.

It's also possible to have urban, walkable neighborhoods where parking isn't extremely difficult or expensive. SF is pretty atypical in the US when it comes to population density.
Then how come office vacancy rates are way down and rents way up?

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/01/property-usa-offic...

U.S. office vacancy rate fell to 16.6 percent in the first quarter from 16.7 in the fourth, the lowest since the third quarter of 2009

Washington D.C. remained the tightest market, with a vacancy rate of 9.3 percent. New York followed at 9.6 percent.

What happened at 6116 Executive Blvd in Rockville, MD is that the big fat Federal client moved even farther outside the beltway to new digs in Gaithersburg, Maryland (to another, newer office complex.)

New place is one of those "faux green" buildings where everything like the light switches, blinds, faucets and toilets don't work intuitively if they even work at all. They have to mow the roof so at least you can feel Eco-conscious as you flush 3 times.

Old place was close to Whole Foods and walkable to the metro(subway). New place is close to Subway(sandwich shop).

If the Washington Press wants to bemoan the old office space situation at NIH (National Institutes of Health), then they should ask about having NIH tear down the fortified walls they built around their beautiful Bethesda campus because of "9-11 terrorist threats". The old NIH used to look like a friendly college campus. Now it looks like a gated community with TSA style security theater.
Ikea already delivers. It's difficult to imagine that they'll deliver less when they won't have to hire drivers to do so. The robo-delivery-van won't only lack a steering wheel, it will lack a seat. I envision doors on the front, and sliding dividers that push the next delivery forward when the van backs out of the driveway of the preceding delivery.

These will not be cars as we have known them. Most people today don't like cars as we have known them, nor the cruft that has built around that. A vocal minority here on HN really likes cars, exactly as they are, and they don't want to hear about these changes. That's OK, people who want to waste money on old-timey cars will be able to do so, for at least a few decades.

If not have a steering wheel blows your mind, hold on: which direction do you think the front seats will face, in the typical robocar?

[EDIT] I'm dreaming of a time when few people buy cars, so we'll no longer be plagued with car commercials.
> if you think this is about 'providing users with products' and generating a return on investment.

Consumers want the best product.

Investors want a payout.

How does GPL satisfy either of these?

GPL doesn't have the nimbleness to be viable with the market. It doesn't respect creativity and time of developers or investors - leaving consumers left to pick a proprietary / permissive alternative.

You don't need to be GPL to be open: You can MIT/BSD/Apache and still volunteer to not give out binary blobs [1]
