The related django issue is here: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/23919 there are lots of other cleanups happening right now. It's a real pleasure to look at the diffs :)

Personally I have no interest in such luxuries and hope I never will have. My goal is to keep my expenses to the (relatively low) level it is now, and save excess money for kids (which i don't have yet) or donate it. But I'm not t

I'm pretty sure that there are lifestyles that burn several millions per year, and my guess would be there are people living a happy life with less than 60k. but of course it's true that the further you go up the scale, the more a

This sounds a bit like "my income is normal, and everyone above that is rich"-thinking that a lot of people have.(if there's a word for that i'd appreciate any hints :) ) i'd definitely consider engineers at google

could you elaborate? i don't quite understand your comment but want to understand it. do you mean your citation regarding the copenhagen interpretation to be applied to us consumers, the mining companies, or the newspaper? and how does

i think the primary purpose is to find out what your compiler will do out of your C/C++ program, to see e.g. what optimizations are performed. but who knows, maybe it's also used for actually writing assembly :)

that... sounds too good to be true. could you provide any references on what the actual consequences of this warranty are?

I don't see how speaking the truth and being polite could ever rule each other out. In fact, HN is the one place where i've seen the phrase "I disagree" the most often. Not because people are so disagreeable, but because

Let me play the devil's advocate here as well :) What exactly is the problem with punishing people for risky driving? Or rather, let them pay a corresponding premium to cover for the (statistically expected) higher damages they will ca

well, but people usually don't ask for making e.g. the print feature optional because they don't use it and want a lean browser... i mean, you need to draw a line somewhere, sure, but different people will draw it differently.

by karyon 10y ago
why would you want to remove that feature? i mean, you can probably remove the button to be out of sight easily. if it does nothing when you're not using it, what's the deal?

I've made that argument myself, but agree that the current video streaming situation is just dumb. Could you explain me why that analogy is wrong? I understand there is no damage done as in, they don't have less money than they ha

I got this from twitter, where Elon Musk writes stuff like "Writing post now with details." and "Will get back to Autopilot update blog tomorrow." So I assumed he's authored the thing.

well, that doesn't help you if you're dead. although it's probably an argument in favor of not requiring such countermeasures, they would still be nice to have, wouldn't they? :)

i think that question is not so pressing until the system is declared fully autonomous as in, no human required anymore to drive. as long as it's just an assistant, the human is supposed to brake. but, since they surely want autopilot

The blog post says "When the car is approaching an overhead highway road sign positioned on a rise in the road or a bridge where the road dips underneath, this often looks like a collision course. [...] If several cars drive safely pa

Is it just me or does whitelisting static objects to determine whether the car will collide with them seem like a bit of a crude hack? It almost sounds like the system will brake at newly installed traffic signs. edit: Upon closer reading,
