Same experience here. I lived in Portland at the time and was sympathetic to the cause. But then seeing the protest devolve and turn the Park Blocks into a sketchy homeless encampment really made it difficult to support the cause. The media

No fucking way? I thought my math was rock-solid! The point is not the exact numbers. It’s to demonstrate that even if we do suffer accidents and deaths from testing self-driving cars on the road, the end result will be many more saved live

Let’s say autonomous cars, once fully implemented, are even 10% safer than existing drivers. And testing in real-world conditions, speeds up the implementation by even just a year. We would need about 3k deaths at the hands of the autonomou

Both ideologies have their pros and cons. Take a look at Shanghai right now to see the downsides of when the collective matters more than the individual.

I don't think anyone is in denial about this, it's just not something anyone should concern themselves with in the foreseeable future. AI that can replace a dev or designer is nowhere close to becoming a reality. Just because we h

Their TS3 dock supports ethernet. I've had mine for well over 3 years now and it still works great. Can't say the same for the 5+ other docks I had before this one.

And driverless cars will not be able to drive everywhere at once. Initially, it will be a few predefined routes and certain times. It will take much longer than 10 years to have a driverless car that can go anywhere, at anytime.

The only way I’ve ever been able to learn a code base is by fixing bugs or implementing features. If I don’t have an immediate goal in mind, nothing actually sticks in my mind. I feel the same about reading most programming books.

Because it’s a classic HN overreaction. Most of the cars sold today don’t have anything that would be remotely disabled. This thread literally started from someone being removed from a beta due to them being fired. It has nothing to do with

I think y’all are conflating two completely different things. There are “fun” sites where proper UX, information hierarchy, and general good design patterns take a backseat to some wild design (band websites for example). Then there are sit

They’re just slowly building up enough of these laws so that when the time comes, they can enforce them selectively. Old Soviet tactic.

It’s weird because they live here in the states and feed on Russian propaganda. These are all people that escaped the USSR to get away from this same rhetoric. Now they are pulled back into it. I’m not saying it can’t happen elsewhere, but

The problem is that a significant chunk of the population only watches the Russian TV broadcasts, many don’t even have access to the internet. Though many immigrants here in the states watch the same shit. It’s sad. I do think Putin’s days

Don’t underestimate Putin’s ability to convince the Russian public that this is all the West’s fault. It’s kind of been their (my former) country’s greatest trick. I know many USSR immigrants here in the states who once despised anything to
