Blocked in the UK. Can someone help us read our own website?

Edit: why is this at -3? You guys are assholes.

Not an expert, but what you describe is testing different parts of the system. Real world data tests that the sensor system is creating an accurate model of the environment, whereas simulated data ensures that the vehicle makes correct decisions for any given input model.

e.g. real world data tests that the vehicle can detect a stop sign. Simulated data tests that the vehicle stops at a stop sign.

Having a space station is not important. Having the infrastructure to build and maintain a space station is important.

When the US stopped sending people to the moon it stopped to be capable of sending people past LEO. A space station at least ensures that we can still send people to space.

Right but what I'm saying is that two versions of the same library will live quite happily together, because node.js absolutely abhors global scope. The two versions have their own module-level scope to store functions and data.

So go crazy and install every version of lodash! Nothing will break.

That's not how it works. There will be two copies of x in the require cache. They don't know of each other's existence.

It's much weaker. Only reason for a password manager to use it is laziness or ignorance.

Marriage and religion are both prehistoric. They are cultural universals, present wherever you look.

The ubiquity of marriage across vastly disparate cultures means either that there's a strong force compelling all societies to develop it, or it's so old that we took it out of Africa with us.

Basically in the unrealistic situation of a closed system, GC can be faster. But it makes FFI significantly harder (e.g. V8 API)

Mobile devices are ideal candidates to be thin clients, because they are battery powered.

If most instances of greater capability can be implemented as a thin client, then it's not CPU performance that is the bottleneck, but mobile ISPs and aged infrastructure.

It's funny that the MIT license has the reputation of being "The license you choose when you don't care about attribution, or it would be unreasonable to require attribution".

As the article points out, copies of MIT licensed code must include not only the copyright line but the whole damn license.

Think you're reading too much into it. Most software license agreements have silly rules and restrictions that nobody takes any notice of - at home. Businesses have to be more careful.

5. Indefinitely hold up UK's new WTO schedule, apply huge tariffs to UK goods entering the EU, while it doesn't have MFN status.

Seriously, if you're going to steal Wired's content and submit it to HN, please at least host it statically so it doesn't fall over immediately.

$10 off vs $10 credit is exactly the same thing unless you never buy anything from Amazon ever again.

Speaking personally, I do. Internet ads are usually a sign of low-quality content, for instance they seem to have an incredible power to turn previously esteemed newspapers into clickbait factories.

The best content on the internet is ad-free.
