I don’t think you get the aero gains at safe stopping distances, though.

Of course if’s best to avoid dangerous conditions, but you must realize that weather changes fast and a clear road can become very low visibility in the matter of minutes. There are also urgent and emergency situations where it’s rational t

You missed: > and you have to use an autonomous car The idea being you use this hypothetical level 5 autonomous vehicle instead of the ones that let you be a dipshit. Anyway, we already revoke peoples’ licenses for drunk driving and we d

We’re also only talking about “good weather” regions. There’s no way an autonomous vehicle is capable of handling diverse weather, gravel roads, especially snow and ice, at the moment (my Tesla does not). The conversation is very myopically

We could legislate around this very irrational/human fear. Personally I’d feel much safer if the roads were primarily filled with drivers that don’t get emotional and are objectively safer. Even if a few accidents confuse me and seem a

Passive processing is real. Very often it’s not others that need convincing, it’s yourself.

Cooler heads prevail though. Don’t dismiss the impact a heated discussion can have on you days/weeks/months/years later.

Riiight?! This is a really strong defense for the white hats. Either it’s your code and you are egregious slime balls doing illegal things, or “some third party interfered and hacked your trains like you said and we fixed it you’re welcome”

You’re just pushing a pretty blatantly uninformed opinion supporting a frankly indefensible position. My car had minor collision damage and it took the manufacture’s 1st party service center 3 weeks to fix it. The assumption that manufactur

I don’t think that’s even close to the spirit of the law. Monopolies are bad because they artificially limit consumer choice and market dynamics resulting in a product that’s more expensive and generally lower quality. If you intentionally

Meal kit companies don’t pay the 30% because the payment is for a service that is delivered outside the app. Uber doesn't pay it either. It’s a stupid loophole apple built in that all but proves the 30% cut is ridiculous and would neve

How about a _market_ is anything where there exists a _marketplace_? Doesn't seem like a wild stretch. Now why should Apple have a monopoly on accepting payments on its platform? To your second point: people are sad that we can’t have

The adversary is the incumbent that’s working to artificially stifle innovation, strong arm the market, and exclude competition. Beeper is not someone who hacked your wifi. Beeper is sending legitimate packets to your router and Apple is sa

Cory is talking about it in the sense that the tech industry at large said “adversarial interop” is stupid and lobbied against it. It seems HN has lost the plot judging by the number of people on this thread defending Apple engaging in such

How do you write it if it’s readonly? Whether or not the system partition is mounted readonly for daily use doesn't have anything to do with the update size.

We post WSJ and NYT all the time though and it’s explicitly allowed last I complained about it.

Except, I doubt anybody would argue that a lower signal to noise ratio has improved the site. (Plus, has the actual metric even improved and how is it measured?) And, did anybody ever stop to ask whether S:N should even be the champion metr

I guess it kinda depends on the type of role playing the party is looking for. If you want to role play the survival then great, probably don’t use a rich-poor dynamic where survival is handled by coin. I tend to think most parties prefer t

Not quite. I’m describing a system with discrete structure that gives rise to macro level complex system in the same way the game of life can implement arbitrary computation.

I believe there may be ways to introduce entropy into a system like that so it need not completely deterministic, but can’t quite remember the name for the topic…

I find the idea of a universe with a discrete substrate/structure both natural and compelling. I wish we’d explore it more. If you really think about it, it’s hard to imagine nature would just happen into a system with irrational numbe

What’s even more sad is that the SO community has since consequently destroyed SO as the home for this type of info. This post would now be considered off topic as it’s “not a good format for a Q&A site”. You’d never see it happen today
