Such sad news! Condolences to his family, friends and thousands of admirers worldwide. One way to commemorate his life is to donate to the charityware cause he championed: https://www.iccf-holland.org
Nice. Coincidentally, I saw a talk about Jupyter @ FOSDEM earlier this year, this time with Perl 6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSZV8IXIsM4). I had no knowledge of it prior to that point, and I really should come up with a good reason to use it.
Likewise, I had a brief conversation with the fascinating Dr Lewis Dartnell where we discussed the origin of barley farming. Did our ancestors grow it for food, and accidentally discover that you can also make beer with it, or did the beer come first and bread second? I had assumed the former, but now that I think about it...
i'd bet that proto-beer and proto-bread appeared around the same time, and techniques were developed over generations to calibrate different recipes until they resembled what we might recognize as "beer" and "bread" today.
Surely this is to stop Uber, Lyft etc from buying a fleet of the things for their business use, rather than targeting individual drivers specifically (though they're happy to stop that too).
Since they appear to plan on running an uber/lyft style service with self-driving tech, and they believe that their tech is especially likely to give them an advantage in that business, that would be one big reason.
the majority of revenue will come from tesla network, it will far eclipse potential revenue from fleet sales, this isn't that controversial what tesla is doing and is what every car company will do.
Revenue from car sales will go down as more and more people use fleet services and car companies will make the majority of revenue from autonomous ride sharing networks, why let some competitor use your cars/software without having to do any of the difficult work themselves, creating a low barrier to entry is a losing strategy if your doing all the work
I think it's fair to say that both of us believe that women ought to have their own place to comb their hair, fix their lipstick and gossip about clothes and boys.
The Perl community, in general, has always been extremely friendly and welcoming. That seems to carry over to Perl 6. I can't think of any time I was unable to get guidance quickly via a variety of channels; Perl Monks, IRC, etc. are good places to go. Filing issues about CPAN modules can be a somewhat less satisfying thing (depends very much on the author), but usually also results in something good happening.
