When I was a young teenager I was very interested in model rockets. One summer day I had completed a model rocket and my father took me to the highschool football field to set it off. I got concerned because there were no trespassing signs. My father said the following:

"Josh, what's the worst that could happen? Someone will tell us to leave and we will."

This thinking, "what's the worst that could happen" has had a long profound impact on my approach to life and to risks in general. Always ask yourself in a situation of fear: what's the worst that could happen?


I met my best friend through Bumble's "friend mode". You do have to deal with many men on there to find hookups ala Grindr, but real friends are out there.


Can confirm having seen Waymo vehicle's driving in my hood several times this past week. I'm concerned that Waymo will never be able to drive "the LA way" and ultimately cause congestion.

For example it's standard in LA that when the light turns yellow then two cars are able to make a left turn in time to not back up the perpendicular Lane.

Or if you are turning left you should try to make room on your right, so that those going straight can get around you. No way Waymo vehicles will be doing that.

All in all there are certain behaviors that are necessary in a city with traffic like LA that would certainly be outside the strict safety parameters that (I assume) Waymo operates under.

Why do you say that? In this video you can see it doing exactly that, pulling to the side a bit to make room on the left for a vehicle doing a weird u-turn inside an intersection: https://youtu.be/rGfV_3HPnYE?t=442 If anything, common behaviors should be among the easiest for an AI system to learn.


San Francisco driving's got it's own challenges but they have unprotected lefts as well.


I agree almost entirely, but as one begins to look to uplevel their career through a new job one finds you must do much unnecessary explaining on how you are ready for "the next" step in your career ladder if you don't have a title that conveys that.

For example I have a title of Senior Software Engineer, but have been performing duties for the last 2.5years more closely resembling a Lead Engineer position (systems design, making architecture decisions, interviewing, mentoring). This has been annoying to repeat to EVERY recruiter that YES indeed I have experience as a Lead Engineer regardless of my title.


It's driving us crazy over here too.


Looks like a great tool for explaining a JSON object to a less technical audience? I dunno I'm going to give it a shot.

Also, a little meta, but I like that the github page was linked to rather than directly linking to the product's page. It lets me know upfront that this is open source something I'm dealing with. +1 to the submitter


The Micro-Services trend.


According to my friend in Iran, Facebook has been banned for some time. Same with FB Messenger.

She has been successful using VPN and WhatsApp until today. I don't know if I'll ever hear from her again.


Personally I side with an individuals' right to install whatever they want on a device they purchased. Without that "right to repair" individuals are only renting their devices from a duopoly. Very unsatisfying!


Perhaps it's possible to have the design meeting with a smaller set of invitees? Does everyone really contribute in the design sessions, or is it mostly people silently listening as a few dominant voices carry the meeting forward?
