I don't understand the issue here, cars sold in Europe already include many US cars obviously, and cars that sell in Europe are usually safety tested, for example by Euro NCAP.
Here is a US car available in Europe, that has an excellent five star safety score in NCAP
http://www.euroncap.com/en/results/jeep/cherokee/8871

Now if "research actually established that American models are much less safe when it comes to front-side collisions" then those differences presumably apply to US models that aren't currently sold in Europe, and thus have never been tested here. If a model eventually will be sold in Europe (in any numbers) it will presumably be tested in Europe too, and those safety differences would show up in the tests?

It doesn't worry me that some new car is approved for sale while not being safe, I wouldn't buy it until I see five Euro NCAP stars, and that I think goes for most European consumers. Relaxing the approval wouldn't change the testing! If US manufacturers want to sell cars in Europe they will have to not meet regulations but satisfy NCAP.

(That said: cars like the new mustang might never be tested in NCAP, nor will it have to to compete with European performance cars which often aren't tested either, or score poorly. Performance car buyers don't seem very safety concerned so crashing expensive cars that sell in small numbers doesn't seem worthwhile).
I despise Wordpress, and have definitely shaved off too many years of my life struggling with its utter insanity that is its core/plugin ecosystem... However, check out Themosis. It's basically dragged Wordpress kicking and screaming into 2015, and considering clients will still sometimes demand the familiar Wordpress admin if you live in agency land, it's a worthy framework to have in your toolkit.
Prismic.io is another excellent "CMS as a service":

I've used it on a project and was quite pleased. Using their API, separating content publishing from the presentation becomes much more robust than with a traditional integrated CMS that you customize using themes or whatever.
I read that, I saw the difference. Sorry I wasn't clear in my original post.

I meant: what causes the difference? Why is there such a big difference?
> Personally I see the article mostly complain about the Distribution and Discovery Problem. And some App Store Approval process.

That was there, certainly, but what I read most was the resource cost of covering many platforms, something I completely empathise with.

What? To me it seems obivous that the right thing to do is have the seatbelt be part of the switch for the airbag -- no seatbelt, no detonation!

> "As might be expected, there is little need for anything as outdated as a door handle or a light switch — everything is at the tap of an iPad or a smartphone, which can set room and water temperature, switch on the lighting, open and close the windows and even control the refrigerator."

Ugh, no not at all. I'd rather instinctively reach a light-switch than reach for my tablet, click the power-button, wait 0.4 seconds for it to turn on, enter my pincode, wait 0.5 seconds before it's usable, open the control app, which takes 3-10 seconds to then navigate to the proper option and tap it.... For the same result.
Well, the US car manufacturers must have been surprised. They commissioned the study, and must have thought they could spin the results to prove that the difference is negligible.

My guess is the real difference is even bigger than this report shows.
> It's a nonproblem.

And that's exactly what can be said about the difference between Haskell's and Java's type systems. It hasn't been shown that the additional provable properties -- that are not too powerful -- do in fact result in cheaper development. I.e. you haven't shown that Haskell's rich type system solves a real problem. That requires empirical evidence.

> Sometimes I use a type checker, other times I grab a pen and a piece of paper and carry out the proof by hand. Quantifier-free equational reasoning makes the latter super easy.

But you said "perform your proofs in the same term language in which your program is written". If the actual interesting verification is done by other tools why is your approach better than Amazon's (write in Java, verify in TLA+)?
That depends completely on the router software that you use.

I'm a former Royal Marine, and I don't think ever played uckers. Not sure how widespread it is nowadays, but I think it might still be played at sea.
That's assuming that exceptions show up in type signatures. (Which they do in Java, granted.) And it's still incredibly noisy compared to pattern matching on Options/Eithers or, even better, chaining them Kleisli Option/Either arrows.
I might be wrong but it seems the point of the TTIP is to say "Ok our norms are equivalent in the US and EU, so a US car does not need to pass EuroNCAP to be sold in Europe"

Or rather we would align EuroNCAP on less demanding american norms, which would have the same result. A five star EuroNCAP post-TTIP would not be equivalent to a 5 star pre-TTIP.
For clarity, stating the difference between the two is beneficial. "TV" is a single-channel system, in that the user has a single input to control their output: which channel. 1:1. "The Internet" has a much broader range of control, simply by the mechanism of processing input before sending output. No longer is input:output 1:1.

Honestly, I'm disappointed this even made it to the front page. "who will win" TV vs internet is no longer a legitimate or interesting question. Unless we're having a business or politics discussion about industries lobbying their way to success, there's is no room for rational disagreement about who will win. The internet will continue to cannibalize TV from the bottom up (or the top down if you want to go by ratings).

I had a Diamond Rio pmp300 32MB mp3 player in 1998. An iPod didn't come out for 3 years. An iPhone didn't come out for 9 years. Even though the Diamond only held 8 songs, I knew the SECOND I hit play that every other mobile audio technology was dead. It was just a matter of time.

I think sometimes - subconsciously - we believe too much in the efficient market - that if we see an opportunity for arbitrage that WE must be wrong - the market must have already accounted for it. But that's just how things work... sometimes very obviously correct concepts take awhile to actually take hold.

TV already lost. It will just take the world a few years to realize it.

No, I'm not aware of any projects that successfully crack TETRA encryption. That said, all the TETRA traffic around here is unencrypted, including the police and emergency services (surprising to me). The rumour I heard was that it was originally encrypted but they disabled it because key management was a pain in the ass.

I'm basing my stuff on SQ5BPF's work, who added the (purposefully) missing bits in osmocom's osmo-tetra project:
https://github.com/sq5bpf

It works, but the code is not pretty and it's a really long pipeline of shell pipes and FIFOs. I'm working on simplifying the whole thing, I've already written a minimal replacement for telive. Hopefully I can change the pipeline from:

GRC tuner flowgraph -> simdemod2.py (pi/4 CQPSK demodulator) -> float_to_bits (pi/4 float to byte-per-bit stream) -> tetra-rx -> telive

to:

tuner.py (combined tuner, pi/4 CQPSK demodulator and pi/4 float to byte-per-bit stream) -> tetra-rx -> tetrarec.py (telive replacement)
It is really worth looking at github if you have not seen it lately. There are some big project running on it. There also newer product that are tightly integrated, like https://www.blossom.co/kanban-with-github
It's because the legislation originates from a time when most cars didn't have them as a legal requirement, so the assumption is that someone won't have one or be wearing it, if the car has it. That bit has never been updated.

It's exactly as insane as it sounds.
I thought DHH recently announce on Twitter there will be Basecamp 3, which is based on Rails 5.

Yes, rule 5.6: Apps must satisfy the user. Apps not deemed to be deeply satisfying will be removed from the store.
Is there somewhere that lists the differences between the various models? They seem to have 6 models but it's not clear what the differences are.
EuroNCAP isn't a regulatory thing, and it isn't mandatory, it's basically just publicly fundded consumer information. Even if more models are allowed to be sold because they pass new "harmoinized" (read: relaxed) safety regulations after TTIP, they won't sell unless they score high on NCAP. (Specialty models like pickups, performance cars likely not that sensitive, but regular passenger cars and SUV's definitely would sell poorly without a high NCAP score). A US manufacturer knows this.

I don't think (at least I hope) that NCAP would ever relax their testing procedures. Rather, they make it stricter every year, as they should.
Ask for a refund and you shall get one.
This is outrageous but not surprising at all. In my opinion, more than a car safety issue, this is a money-making issue.
EU pushes car manufacturers to build safer cars but this has a high cost. European customers respond well to marketing campaigns promoting safety. Therefore, those extra safety costs have a good return on investment.
In the US, car safety is not considered as important as in EU because companies don't think there will be a good ROI. Because car manufacturers don't believe is viable enough, they tried to hide this report.

You most certainly cannot dissever talent from the rest of the variables.

Field studies? Pp-lee-ase. Take that voodoo science somewhere else. Field studies' purpose is not to give answers but to definite more concrete questions. To serve as a starting point for a controlled experiment and that might be impossible, like in this case. Just because some professor says something, that doesn't mean he is correct. There is more falsification in psychology than in nutrition and medicine and that certainly says something. A lot, if not the overwhelming majority of psychology researchers do not understand p-values and simple theory-hypothesis construction, let a alone the structural equation modeling menu dialogues in SPSS they click on. All they have is theories. No, not like gravity. More like Jesus and Muhammad - unsubstantiated theories.

I read a metric ton of psychographic research because of my job, which is in quantitative marketing research.

Yes it's really fun all around, with EU manufacturers trying to bypass/fudge more stringent US emission regulations and US manufacturers trying to bypass/fudge more stringent EU safety regulations.

I agree completely with firebones. Getting a pocket-sized Moleskine notebook last year and jotting down observations that arise when I interact with the world has been most helpful. One surprising point is that looking back on my notebook, many ideas I would've forgotten about completely if they hadn't been written down. I'm not saying these are $1M ideas, but it's nice to have a record of what you were thinking 6 months ago.

To borrow pg's analogy that we are the executable whose source code we've lost, by writing down our thoughts (even in point-form) we may at least hope to generate output logs of versions of ourselves compiled at different times.

I really hope that someday there will be a good, curated and vetted ad-blocking list which will take into consideration how intrusive ads are.

I don't want to block all of the ads since it is how the content producers get paid. But the current situation is really either/or. I don't seem to find any ad blocker that just removes unacceptable ads.

Demanding ad networks to pay is plain extortion.

The electric motor is around 90% efficient, but the thermal efficiency of a jet engine is (if I recall correctly) only around 30%. So the batteries only need to contain 1/3 of the energy of the jet fuel. Batteries are still a long way off from this, but that factor of 3x makes it somewhat nearer than it would otherwise be.

Just because I've never done it and want to double check. How does one get content to the phone-VR system?

I currently develop my toy VR applications with Unity and only target PC/Mac. I'm assuming I can just publish to Android from Unity and be set (never done it, just know this exists)? That is I target Android and can use the phone-VR setup?

Pretty solid coincidence that I'm currently in the market for a new phone as well. I tihnk I'll go with this and then skip the regular Oculus and get a Morpheus instead since I own a PS4 but the only machine suitable for smooth VR is at work (and I surely want to play around at home, too) :D

Yes!

Our competitors in the 3D printing space did the exact same thing, they open sourced their "client". But all of the real processing is on the server, so it's really inconsequential. In my opinion it's just a way to market your product as "open source" even though 90% of it is proprietary.

The hackers/makers that they target with this branding should see through it pretty easily. I'm not sure if there is a segment of users who would be fooled by it.
> Why do you think Microsoft is the enemy? (I'm old enough to remember when Microsoft was a spunky young bunch of freedom fighters, pioneering desktop Unix, among other things.)

I'm old enough to remember Microsoft was always an abusive back- stabbing company, often abusing their position. Yes, Excel was the better product than 1-2-3, and Word was better than WordPerfect. That said ...

Windows 3, the killer MS app, refused to run on DR-DOS.

Their contract with SpyGlass said SpyGlass would get a share of the profits of selling IE - which MS gave for free. Though IE3 was acceptable, that was not enough to win the hearts and minds, so they kludged IE4 into the operating system, thus leveraging their OS monopoly to gain browser monopoly - which they cemented by having e.g. Word and FrontPage emit IE-specific markup.

Microsoft was continually spreading FUD, making vague threats about viral licenses, various ip issues and other problems with free software. They still make more revenue off Android patent threat agreements than they make on Windows phones.

They stacked the ISO vote for OOXML, which took a couple of years to clear in some countries (beyond the specific OOXML damage done, in some countries the new members that voted only on this issue ground work to a halt because of quorum requirements).

Not to mention all of the "protected path" issues, which are actively working against users.

While only the last three items have anything to do with free software, Microsoft is a bully, and has been one for 30 years. "Freedom fighters" is not a title I would associate with Microsoft at any point in time. They have been behaving better recently, but only because Google and Apple managed to beat them into submission. I don't think the company culture actually changed. Two years of behaving is not enough to be convincing, after ~30 years of bullying.

Quite simply US car manufacturers don't have to make their cars as safe, as a result they include bare minimum safety requirements to pass regulation and save on costs. As another poster says it also seems that they do little R&D in this area either, again probably to save costs and to be able spend money designing more inefficient trucks for single occupants.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see lots of things like this come out over the next months.

VW has got seriously burned, but I highly doubt that they are the only ones fiddling the playing field.

More than likely, different manufacturer's (especially the big ones with lots of money) can afford to take their competitor's cars to pieces and look for areas where their competitors are cheating. They take them apart to gather engineering knowledge from competitors already.

Then they leak that information. Why?

Because if you are the only one to step in your own dog shit, then you stink and look stupid. If you make everyone step in their own dog shit, then everyone collectively stinks. If you can't avoid the smell, you learn to accept it. Somewhat like living in London in the 1600's.
That's a good idea in theory, but what about maintenance and related devops? It's not enough to assume the code would be reliable on its own.

Currently working for a company that has all of it's websites in Drupal, so my team is versed in PHP. I've been working with Drupal for 7 straight years.

I have this dream of not having to work with Drupal ever again, so I often daydream about what I'd build if I were given the chance. In a sense I'm in the same position as you, except that it's probably never going to happen and that I've been thinking about this for years.

I'd go Rails, and here's why.

Rails is easy to learn - even if your team has never written Ruby it's an easy language to pick up with way fewer gotchas than either PHP or JS. I've evaluated Laravel, and it's probably the best PHP option out there right now, but knowing Rails, I often find myself hating how much code you have to write to accomplish the same thing in Laravel just by virtue of it being PHP. The resulting code feels clunky (though, that's surely just because I also suck at programming).

Rails is extremely mature - it's been around for over a decade. The upgrade from 2 to 3 was painful, the upgrade from 3 to 4 was much less so. I imagine the upgrade from 4 to 5 will be as well, and so on. The ecosystem is very filled out, the package mgmt story is there, the testing story is there. These are new developments on the wider PHP scene that will probably takes several more years to reach the level of adoption and familiarity that Ruby enjoys. I love writing JS, but the whole ecosystem over there is in this constant state of tectonic upheaval right down to the language (ES6), and unlearning the old gotchas so I can learn the new ones doesn't appeal to me right now.

Rails is exceptionally well documented in terms of blog posts, the Rails Guides, and the API docs. None of these other technologies even come close. This is especially true of Laravel, and I've only ever read 1 blog post about Phoenix, so good luck with that.

This was supposed to be short, sorry.

Another reason why Tesla is so far ahead of the game. Elon Musk had the engineers design the vehicle to be as safe as possible, period.

They didn't design the safety of the car with the crash tests in mind. They passed all the crash tests with flying colors as a side-effect of actually designing for safety.
