Oh, I should have used Google. Will take a note for the future. Btw, here is an interesting "C developer" position at Morgan Stanley:
Position Description:... The C team works closely with Bjarne Stroustrup to help the firm adopt a modern C approach to application and infrastructure development.,,
I spent some time looking for a position that required C a while back. Nobody hires for C anymore. Even shops that actually use C are too ashamed to admit it and advertise their positions as C++. So, looking at TFA:
We measured the demand for different programming languages on the CareerBuilder job site....Because some of the languages we track could be ambiguous in plain text—such as D, Go, J, Processing, and R—we use strict matching of the form “X programming” for these languages.
So off to CareerBuilder and i typed in "C programming", with quotes. Result: electrical engineering positions, other non-developer positions and false-positives. Conclusion: C is used but seldom by developers.
Well if the truck was making a left turn from the right lane on a 60 (seventy~sh) mph road then a) he would not see cars coming as they would be coming too fast b) a human driver would probably not be able to stop in time either. Of course we expect robotic driver to be perfect but that was a deadly sutuation by human standards.
I once was making a left turn on a 30 mph road, when a car screeched past me sudeways at 70 mph in the incoming lane. I could not see him coming fron around the road bend. Morale: don't do 70 in 30, don't make wild turns in 70, and don't do drugs.
I have never seen anyone park THAT close to other cars, if only to save the rear view mirrors. Then there is an issue of opening regular doors -- the driver does need to get out. I can only imagine this being an issue if it was done on purpose.
This is exactly what I said, there was no need for drastic measures such as "completely disagree". However, used car dealers are still major player on the market and as such indirectly affect the prices set by private parties. For example, you cannot sell a car on Craigslist for more than asked by the dealer around the corner, because the dealer also provides a 2 month warranty, etc. As such the dealers indirectly steer the prices set on Craigslist.
Why, no, you can use it to tell them who you want to become. E.g. I am going to update them that I am on the market for a multi-million racing yacht. I only want to see adverts about racing yachts. Who knows, maybe after enough ad brainwashing I might just buy one:)
Just watched the demo. How did he manage to hit his "wife and other cars" with those doors is beyond me. It opens slowly and goes mostly up. Sounds like a bullshit case and a smear campaign.
I noticed a few negative posts with outlandish claims against Tesla appearing within seconds after every Tesla-related post. If this is an astroturf then this is the first pro-tesla one that I have seen.
Because the dealer does this to relocate your car, so you have to trust him like you would trust a valet. A private party reselling a car after only a year probably drove into a lake on it. If a significant share of buyers were sceptical of auto dealers then the dealers would never ever drive them, at the additional cost of having a truck shuttle new cars around.
A car looses 25% off resale price as soon as it drives off the lot. I agree that this is a standard heavily influenced by the old industry that demanded a fat dealer markup, but with advent of private selling websites the industry has less and less say in setting resale prices. The real reasons are as follows:
It is natural for people to want something shrink-wrapped from the factory
Did the previous owner change oil? Did he redline the engine? Submerged the car in water?
Is the car being sold before its time is up because something is wrong with it?
Buying a used car carries risk and people like being compensated for taking risk. If your friend/coworker is selling a car because of death/divorce/relocation then your risk would be lower yet still little incentive to pay above market price.
So you don't see the highway ambush sutuation that I outlined above as probable. This kind of crime is not only rampant in the third world countries, but pretty common in the US of A as well. Also you use the word "pedestrians" and "passengers" interchangeably, as if they were the same thing. It is possible that you never seen pedestrians, but in the cities there is quite a few of us.
Let me start off by saying that I don't value my life above others. If my car is flying towards unsuspecting pedestrians and the only other option is to go off a cliff -- I will go off the cliff. On the other hand, if the highway is ambushed by a pack bandits who calculated that my car's AI will opt to kill the driver, then it is their turn to go off the cliff. This decision simply cannot be made by a computer, ever.
If most owners of your building feel that way, they are free to make "no subletting" building policy, enforced via the above mentioned doorman, and not force the entire city to follow your needs.
I live in a building with a doorman and still lock my door. There are maintenance and delivery workers always around, not to mention that I am not personally acquainted with the other 2000 tenants who live in the building.
We cannot tell him what he should care about. In general people (and animals) are programmed to care about their self/offspring, relatives, race, species -- in that order. [Some of] this sequence has been experimentally verified. There will always be individuals not following this sequence, i.e. acting irrationally (in view of the majority). Thankfully, they will always be a minority because the rate of procreation of people who hate children, relatives, and humanity in general approaches zero. The real dilemma is with people who trade future of humanity in exchange for a short term enrichment of self.
What metric have you used to draw that conclusion? I hear this claim was repeated throughout the history yet here we are. There is definitely still an abundance of both food and space on this planet. Our speed of evolution only recently surpassed that of monkeys because there were too few of us on the planet. With increase of population the speed of our civilization development accelerates, which is a good thing. With new technologies coming around it looks like starvation will never be an issue. It sounds like your philosophy is based on a personal opinion, which is not a very strong foundation.
Yes, it is completely rational. I will assume that you either dont plan to have children or don't give a flying fuck about them. This line of thought will ensure that you go extinct like a dinosaur and take your rationale with you.
The most believable version so far. Something tells me this could have gone more like an acquisition: they came, poached the "engineers" and fed "management" to the dogs. Some left over assets, like kidneys, have been auctioned off.
A subcontractor, not Tesla. Microsoft subcontractor made Windows XP sounds using a stolen copy of Sound Forge, and the the evidence got baked into Windows XP. I did non hear much outrage about it from the press
Unaccounted for side effects of a business are called "externalities" and the problem with them is that somebody else will have to pay. For example, I can choose not to build an outhouse and shit on the sidewalk instead. Somebody will have to either endure the smell or clean it up. I just saved myself some money at someone's expense. That somebody is usually the government or we, the people. That's why externality works like a government subsidy.
companies who are passing their costs to you
By being a consumer of an unethical company you become a sponsor of their behavior and share the blame with them. It is only fair that their shit on the sidewalk is taxed and they pass the cost on you.
By adding a feature to boast your speed, they set up a pissing err... speeding contest that cost someone dearly already.The guy who was crippled didn't even participate!
This reminds me of a vodka drinking contest someone organized in Russia -- the winner died on the spot, the runner up was hospitalized. Russian authorities DID start a criminal investigation. How is this different?
Capital gains come in package with capital losses. If you tax gains higher then all investment will become very risk-averse and the investors will use all means to move their capital overseas where they can invest it more gainfully.

There is a couple of lint/purify programs for Python that look out for what is usually caught by compiler and beyond.

I subconsciously stretched to o's to further stress the enormous loss of value :)
