Running this code doesn't actually do anything bad. It just demonstrates the shell's access to sensitive data and downloads a file upload utility.
It is a legit complaint, but I lacked both the influence and the authority to get members of other teams to step up, and honestly that wasn't my job (not being their manager). And when there were outages operations had to be there to resolve issues because other teams had, for example, not formalized their on-call rotation. And yet the service needs to remain running and available.

This is why I said it has to be the goal of the entire organization. If 6 months in you are tasked with being involved with deployment and live maintenance of your code, you're welcome to leave the company because it's going in a direction you don't agree with. Don't be shitting on the operations team because they didn't implement some VP-read-in-a-book version of DevOps.

You know, there's a lot of talk about how "lack of culture fit" isn't a legit reason to reject candidates. While it is often used as a catchall rejection, there are things such as fitting into the organization's processes and having views that are compatible with the rest of the team that legitimately fall under the "culture fit" evaluation umbrella. If you're joining a team that has successfully done waterfall for a long time and doesn't have the problems that are traditionally associated with the things that agile can fix, sorry, you're not going to fit in and you'll most likely get resistance to change. If you're used to throwing code over the wall to operations to deploy and you're joining a team that takes a more distributed view of responsibility, you're not going to fit in either.

I think about this often. Every day in rush hour traffic I have to take a number of calculated risks in order to get to work. This usually crops up when making a turn onto a highly congested road. I could easily see a self driving car being too conservative to find a gap and pull out, leading to a furious string of drivers behind it.

My understanding that the issue is that attackers will then just do STARTTLS with their own self-signed certificate, as checking the common name of the certificate is difficult in the context of SMTP.

There is a pretty well documented bias that people tend to think that negative people are smarter than positive ones. I think the critical/dismissive breed of assholes are playing into that. I agree with the author that if left unchecked, this can result in a toxic culture.

Thank you for the clarification! There's some really cool tech behind this feature. Though I'm personally worried about the privacy of the implementation, I'm really impressed by the engineering that went into it.
Mostly stability. I've yet to own an Android phone that the dialler hasn't crashed either placing or during a call. And I've owned around a dozen different Android phones since 2010. I've had issues with GPS being wildly inaccurate, screens losing touch sensitivity, random force close events in Google and third party apps, terrible camera software, WiFi working sporadically or not at all, sound server crashing in the middle of calls (Nexus 4 is notorious for this), and so on. All of this across the gamut of cheap to flagship phones running AOSP, Cyanogen, and carrier/manufacturer ROMs from 1.5 through 5.1.

There was a time when I wouldn't touch an iPhone with a ten foot pole after using the original and a 4S, but with the 6 and iOS 8/9 Apple has finally made a phone that surpasses Android and Windows on the balance of stability and function.
The problem would be resolved quite nicely if all cars were self driving, interconnected, and could be governed by a master plan.

> Is it even a discussion that humans need to use less resources? I thought this was all widely accepted basic stuff.

Hardly. Your mistake is that unlike animals humans don't [just] consume resources, they create them.

So there isn't a need to use less, instead you simply create more. Don't forget that it's not possible to "use up" matter - it's always still there, a little effort and you can use it again.
Definitely sinus infections. Been battling them for years.

I always complained to the docs that the antibiotics took too long to have a noticeable effect, to which more than one replied that there was limited blood flow to where the infection is, thus it took longer to clear.

I suspect that there's also a phase of life factor too. People tend to chill out when they get older. Especially those that are successful enough to where they have a comfortable life. Generally you start getting awards and such when your career is pretty well established.

Yes, though once there are enough of them on the road, they could be made to help each other out. In fact, they could make it so that human drivers are at a disadvantage.
> If there's an argument here at all it's for having energy prices take into account whatever externality Vox is specifically concerned about, not for forcing people to live in smaller homes

So this concern hasn't translated to fixing the situation despite environmentally conscious people being all for it for decades. Fixing the pricing would make people live in smaller homes. Time for more regulation?
I don't think this a case of the car being so careful that it got pulled over. It mentions in the article that Google artificially capped the speed of the prototype to 25mph. That implies that the car is able and willing to go faster, but Google doesn't feel comfortable going that fast yet. (I don't buy their stated PR reason for the cap.)

The switch could simply be downloading the development tools. Then you know that you're in development mode, and that things could break.
This car was driving a bit too conservatively: However, this highlights my own experience trying to follow traffic laws. First, speeding: I figured out that the time saved speeding wasnt enough to actually help - theoretically, I could save 2 minutes if things went well. It is upsetting when people follow laws and safety instead of normal local social driving standards.

So long as we are mixing drivers and driverless, I think we'll need to close the gap while the problem exists. Laws that reflect driving and better enforcement paired with continual updating to driverless cars so that they can safely manuever in traffic without causing problems.

There are places in the US with minimum speed limits (a highway I take fairly regularly has a maximum of 75mph and minimum of 40mph).

There are also many places where driving slowly enough to be disruptive to traffic (in the officer's judgment) is an offense.

How do you feel about cyclists on 35mph (60kph) roads?
Literally everyone believes what doctors and nurses do is ethical. Public defenders, absolutely. Nobody has an ethical problem with artists (i.e. entertainment) -- musicians, actors, writers. Being an educator is a highly ethical profession. Research can go either way; most would consider research on biological weapons unethical but research on vaccines or cures for disease or basic research quite ethical.

I don't know who you are talking to but you've just listed a huge number of very ethical professions and said "who considers any of these ethical?": the answer is literally everyone. Everyone considers at least one of those fields ethical.

Ethical doesn't mean you sacrifice your life to help starving children in Africa. Ethical means you don't do things that are evil. The surprising thing is that bright business students are now deciding finance doesn't satisfy that criteria.

I mean if you want to pretend it's all about some evolutionary psychology mate selection criteria that's fine but the cause and effect work the other way. Nobody wants to mate with an unethical person; if they're willing to commit unethical acts and screw over others for money how could you ever trust them with a family or not to cheat?

Safety and posted speed limits are often not super compatible; the safest thing, in most road conditions, is to be driving relatively close to the speed of the surrounding traffic, even if that means exceeding the posted speed limit.

(in other words, speed itself is not dangerous except in certain situations -- like sharp curves or wet/snowy/icy roads -- speed differential is dangerous)
Did you try increasing the amount of cubes? There's a dropdown at the top.

React drops to ~30fps for me on 1500 cubes, direct update stays at a solid 60fps. The delta increases as cube count increases.
Oh, I think that however it was done, it was done intentionally. My point was only that the "code" could have been kosher and the tampering done later via configuration.

The Google cars are licensed as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhood_Electric_Vehicl...

This means they are legally limited to 25mph and legally allowed to drive on roadways with speed limits up to 45mph.

NEVs let you have very light weight, inexpensive vehicles with exceptional economy… that would be instant death traps in a high speed collision. They don't undergo ordinary crash testing. Think of them as posh golf carts.

I looked into getting an NEV, but most of my local streets are 30mph and I can't in good conscience drive down them at 25mph.

Also, this is Finland a small, rich and homogenous country. Whether their model can be adapted to say Indonesia or the US or Japan is to be seen.

The main source of ideas was from Milton and the Nixon administration who with the economy going south looked for alternative means for people to "make" a living.

"...Friedman believed that it should be accompanied by an end to any minimal wage system and any other system of social protection. Friedman also believed it should be as low as possible and financed by a flat income tax"

So it'd be accompanied by a loss of minimum wage floor as well as it should be as low as possible (approx USD 1000/mo after initial trial phase in Finland.)

It's not a comfy lifestyle by any means, but could get people off the streets who otherwise would not have the means.

Given those parameters, with a few exceptions, I don't see this implementation undermining people's will and want to work and at the same time it has great upside in simplicity and affecting their poorest citizens positively.
At least in Germany it's even disallowed to drive too slow without a good reason. Although "a good reason" is probably still open to interpretation.

IME it's not that uncommon for humans to do this, but we should expect better from robot cars :)

In NZ technically the local-road speed limit is 50kph, but normal accepted practice is to drive at 60. Anecdotally, I get stuck behind someone driving at 40 at least once a week. It's really annoying.
You're basically saying that everyone should defect because everyone else does. Which may well be true for a single human driver, but is probably not how autonomous cars as a whole should be programmed.

Nor does it support the claim that "speed itself is not dangerous". If everyone were driving slower, everyone would be safer (which we may actually be able to achieve once a sufficient number of law-abiding robot cars displace human drivers).

Agreed that enough of these self-driving cars on the road would put human drivers at a relative disadvantage if the self-driving cars are able to transmit and share data among themselves regarding dangerous road conditions that require extra precautions (e.g., icy, slick surfaces), accidents, traffic conditions or dangerous human drivers that are putting others at risk.
It's not always possible to make a point without the suggestion or implication that the alternative to the point is a lesser choice. So why beat about the bush - if you mean to say that there are angles to a thing that are inferior, just say it. Not everything can be so inclusive.

For instance, I think anyone that believes the pyramids were built to store grain is inferior to scientists that can tell me why they were actually built. So be it said.

As a former CS50 student and Mark's classmate, I personally find it depressing that Harvard's current CS50 professor, who is widely praised, is secretly on Sequoia's payroll via a shell company so that they can have the inside track on the "next Zuckerberg."

If professors want to teach, they should teach. If they want to invest, they should invest. But they shouldn't be doing both without making it clear to students what they've actually signed up for.

Actually, all of it is deceptive (to entrepreneurs, to students, to the public, to other investors) and depressing. But that part is particularly disturbing.
I have a dissenting opinion: Amdahl's law is obvious and therefore it doesn't need to be explicitly taught.
Exactly. If everyone followed the traffic rules instead of considering themselves smarter than traffic engineers, rules could then be adjusted to accomodate for optimal flow and safety. Alas, drivers know better and you can't optimize anything, because people will ignore the rules anyway.
