No. You've shifted the goalposts. You began the thread by trying to argue that a lack of prosecutions for vehicular fatalities was evidence of injustice. But it isn't: it's evidence for the fact that most traffic fatalities don't involve conduct we recognize as criminal.

Now you'd like to litigate whether we should pass laws that criminalize more kinds of driver error. I'm not interested in that discussion, and I don't have to be, because it's not germane to the argument you made up thread, except in a Calvinball kind of way.

I found Martin Sustrik's comment[1] very informative. It is a bit of history and also states some of the fears of this CoC additions to projects. His idea about "abuse postmortems" seems a lot more workable.

Yes, that's how things are done in this country. You can fuck with them afterwards, in the court of law. When they're enforcing the law, fucking with police is the stupidest thing you can do. They have families to come back home to as well. I don't see what's so "insensitive" about that.

I used to have to try to get cabs an hour or more before going to a doctors' appointment. Cabs would just not show up and I'd have to call the dispatcher over and over. Dispatchers would tell me straight out that they wouldn't send a cab into Bayview (where I got physical therapy). To hail a cab on the street, I would have to ask strangers to do it for me while I acted like it wasn't for me (or else cabs would assume I couldn't fold my wheelchair to fit it in, or manage getting into the cab myself) So from my perspective the Uber/Lyft model has been life changing.

Why was this downvoted? It's true. The example password is 36 characters; a mixed-case-and-numbers alphabet has just over 6 bit per character; the example password is thus 217 bits. It's not going to be guessed.
Not the OP, but my guess is "nostalgia".

I'm sure there were people who insisted on using horse driven carriages, long after automobiles took over. "It's just the proper, cultured thing to do. And you can tip your hat to other passing carriages! The shared feeling!"

Although note that sentimental items can have a value of their own. Cinemas could perhaps even increase the ticket price dramatically in that world, making it a "luxury item" on purpose. "Tell her the depth of your feelings with a real cinema ticket". Remember diamonds?

This was a problem for Pokémon Showdown recently. We use HTTPS for logins and some other things, which stopped working a few days ago for users using MitM antiviruses and Firefox.

https://twitter.com/TonyFlygon/status/684756701027954689

(Example user complaint.)

There's no way to detect whether or not an HTTPS iframe has failed to load, so my workaround was to fall back to HTTP if the HTTPS iframe didn't load within 2 seconds. We still switch the connection over to HTTPS if the iframe does eventually load.

I'm kind of confused by why so many users thought it was a Pokemon Showdown issue, specifically. Doesn't Google default to HTTPS? PS shouldn't be the most significant website they have trouble with.

Future of Film
When Robert Heinlein wrote Starship Troopers, copyright was 28 years, or 56 if you are approved for an extension. I'm not advocating 14 years; I think 28-56 is fair. Clearly Heinlein would have written the book under those terms, because he did.

Yes, a Starship Troopers movie would have been released with shorter copyright terms. It is cheaper to make a movie if you do not have to pay for the IP. Movies based on expired works are common, like Disney's movies based on books by Lewis Carroll, Hans Christian Andersen, and the Brothers Grimm. Derivative works can be very profitable.

He says at the beginning of the article to be in the top 25% at two things, then, at the end of the article he says to be top 25% at three things?

So I'm guessing if we got in the top 25% at 5 things or even 50 billion things it would probably be even better!

My career advice to everyone is this: "Be better than most people at 50 billion things and you will be successful!"

Reminds me of: http://tomgerhardt.com/fireLight/
Blatantly, hoping that the riders aren't paying attention. I took an Uber in NYC that tried this: while driving toward my location that was only 5 more blocks away on the same street, he turned right, then left, then left, then right (back onto the original street). He only did the first left turn after going off-course because I demanded it--I'm sure he would've taken his sweet time if I hadn't.

To balance the anecdotes: I once took a yellow cab to an NYC airport, and in the middle of the highway (didn't even pull off to a shoulder) the cab driver stopped his car because his English wasn't good enough to read the signs. He just kept asking me "left? right?" as cars blew past him at 45+ mph, honking their horns.

I wish yellow cabs had a rating system so I could've given that driver 1-star like I did the Uber driver.

Wrapping a bunch of replies into one: Absolutely agree that we need to view fast storage as something other than disk behind a block interface and slow memory, especially with all the different flavours of fast persistent storage that seem to be on the horizon. For the one's that attach to the memory bus, the PMFS-style [1] approach of treating them like a file-system for discoverability and then mmaping to allow them to be accessed as memory is pretty attractive.

I'm not sure a dedicated storage processing unit is the way to go though; I think we could equally well see bits of functionality being offloaded to smarter controllers (kind of like checksum, VLANs, etc are on network adapters) while the CPU remains in charge of orchestrating the different bits.

Also agree on the fact that it is an interesting data structure problem -- a lot of the work we do involves examining what the right data structures are for things once seeks are free and cache locality is the dominant factor for operations.

Yes, and go ask those same people about e-mail interop, and they'll again roll eyes at you. They don't care about it because they don't have a fucking clue. They're just happy it works.

And it's ok. I don't have a clue about how the washing powder works, but I know I can clean any clothes with any powder. I am not an electrical engineer, but I know I can buy any random light bulb and I know it will work with any of my lamps. I know next to nothing about logistics, but I am confident that I can use the same address with any random company to have my package or letter delivered to a person.

The world runs and grows on standardization. That's how we progressed from medieval times to industrial revolution! By standardizing tools and measures used in manufacturing! A lot of it we got by accidents of history. Now it needs to be forced against the market. It has to be, and those of us who have a clue need to fight for it.

What's sad is that the new wave of companies try to transplant their greedy and egotistic ideas from the world of software back to the real world. Any light bulb compatible with any lamp? That's about to become a thing of the past, thanks to the IoT bullshit.

I am very sure if someone else even had made the movies, unless they were good, it wouldn't have mattered.

On the contrary, they absolutely were evil. It just turns out that evil doesn't look quite like we would have thought--hence the importance of studying history from primary sources, to know what evil actually looks like, to be able to recognize and oppose it today.
I took an Uber just yesterday where the guy showed up way after the estimated time, in a junky car, didn't speak English, and couldn't even follow the maps prompts that were coming out of his phone in Chinese. The only difference is on Uber I can give that guy feedback, whereas with cab drivers that's a tedious bureaucratic process that nobody pursues.
> they have a decent selection of British TV (ironically they have more BBC shows than BBC's own streaming service).

> Their selection of popular/well known movies has been decreasing over time though, as they've been losing some of those licences. But there's enough of them that it's good enough for "I want to watch some movie, let's see what's on Netflix".

Not sure I agree with either. They have some old UK TV, but not that much. BBC offers almost no archive tv on iPlayer, so that's not much of a comparison! And I had to spend a significant amount of time trying to find any film I wanted to watch. My impression of the services was a bit like renting access to 10-15 box sets (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, some BBC Dickens adaptations, etc), and about 50 randomly selected, vaguely entertaining films. I had it for about 4 months before running out of anything I wanted to watch.

It's not that. This problem is simply not viable to be solved by market alone.

I could jump in and make an integration solution, providing interop between various communication mediums. So will my competitors, and now everyone has 20 interop apps to chose from, and the problem jumps one meta-level up. Or the companies who own the services I try to make talk to one another will decide that I (or my users) break their ToS and retaliate.

Also good luck going with that when everyone's so big on encryption and sandboxing apps, making sure their interop capabilities are nil.
People drive SUV's, which have a much higher likelihood than ordinary cars of killing the occupants of other vehicles or pedestrians. No lawsuits. Just for perspective, the lawsuit you are talking about is the family of one dead pedestrian involved in a freak accident suing a car company. I mean, how long could a car company hide the effects of proprietary closed software engineered specifically for flouting the law.

..also from your picture and as I have learned from TWD, if you see a herd of zombies on the road your self driving car should probably be programmed to drive straight through them.

> When they're enforcing the law, fucking with police is the stupidest thing you can do

...in the US. In other countries you can fuck with the police and not get killed.

And, for the sake of clarity here, "fucking with the police" is for example asking if you're being detained or if you're free to go, or asking what grounds they have for a stop and search. It's baffling to me why asking police to obey the law is described, by police, as fucking with them.

I'm assuming you're in the SF Bay Area -- there have only been a handful of days when I've had to break out the rain gear so far this season (today was one of them). Maybe 5 days max.

If a person is willing to bike to work when it's dry in the morning (even if it might rain on the way home) there's probably only around 20 - 30 days when they'd need Uber, so that'd cut the Uber expenses by 1/3 to 1/2.
It's funny to me because most people I know would prefer to get in a car and gamble with sitting in traffic rather than take the easy, almost always on time subway (e.g. E train) + AirTrain to JFK. From midtown it is always 45 minutes door to terminal, but people avoid it for some reason because... ? It isn't a sparkly white JFK train that terminates in Manhattan?

Newark is served by train from Penn Station, already a massive hub, that gets you there in 15 minutes.

I think software could be a great pairing with many other areas. I'm not sure if it's better to have software as a foundation or as second skill to add onto your area of expertise.
Well, I don't conclude that, just begin to suspect it. But you're right, it's pretty irrational. ;-)
Yes it was - but it didn't start with them. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was published in 1903 in Russia, kicked off that particular idea - and the nazis just ran with what popular thought already held.

Also, true - going back to my grandmother, she's a raving anti-Semite, but has a Jewish daughter in law - and (now deceased) husband. The cognitive dissonance required is incredible, but common. She'll rant over the dinner table about "the Jews" who are ruining the world - always followed up with a "not you, dear".
Yes. Even the persistent memories that attach to the memory bus are currently quite a bit slower than DRAM (5-7x from estimates I've seen), while the difference with PCIe-attached ones is even more.

I'm not sure what the future holds in terms of latencies for non-volatile storage but sub-DRAM levels aren't within reach yet.
You're cherry-picking some of the worst the US has to offer and painting the entire country with that brush. Which is an intellectually dishonest thing to do. Or, at least, intellectually lazy.
Ok, I think I found a reasonable way.

Use the Microsoft Modern IE VM's, and after install and I get the environment setup take a snapshot of the VM so I can always restore to it if I need to. It isn't ideal but it should work.

Any gotcha's? I checked out the VDA but that won't work since I am using my mac from what I understand.
The logic would be funny if it wasn't sad. The government creates a monopoly (AT&T). That company uses that power and money accumulated through decades to extend its reach into the cable system (current "Comcast" is actually the merger of a medium provider with AT&T Broadband, which held dozens of millions of cable subscribers). Then that is used to show that a government monopoly is needed.

Maybe you could actually decide to try a free market before declaring it a failure?
I've never had a cab go the long way. Maybe I have a Chicago accent.

I do regularly get cabs who say their card reader is down, at which point I just say "you are required to accept credit cards", and they always back down. I agree though that this is a reason to use Uber.
Well, I wouldn't jump so fast to the conclusion that those movies would be of lower quality.
> Those who are performing whatever evil acts of information sharing are disallowed by the counsel will use tools that do not have a counsel who can backdoor the system.

And if everyone else is using the tools that the council can backdoor if it decides to, then anyone who uses different tools will immediately stand out. I think that's a key reason why Chaum expects that governments and law enforcement agencies are more likely to accept this type of system.
Wow, thanks for taking the time to respond! :)

And now I get it: RAM emulation is not 100% stable due to the fact that application architecture simply isn't optimized at all to handle the interfaces yet, as opposed to flaky hardware (my initial arguably logical assumption). The article could have made that a little plainer, thanks for clearing that up.

And thanks for dropping those performance figures; if there was an ELI5-sized soundbite explaining the rationale behind this card, that would be it.

( http://reddit.com/r/ExplainLikeImFive (ELI5) explains complex subjects using accessible, respectful simplifications. If I may say so, your explanation fits precisely into that category. :P)

It's sad there's nothing like this for x86, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it were deemed too difficult to support an I/O path as performant as this without uncomfortable architectural changes. On that note, POWER8 is still at the point where it has the chance to lock in a future-proof architectural design, and hopefully it takes full advantage of that.

My mention of ATX was simply a reference to "it doesn't need to be tiny or cool, it just needs to exist," but it appears the board you linked is currently the only product with any sort of vague open market presence. I definitely look forward to more accessible POWER architecture products in the future. :D

Finally, thanks heaps for the PTOpenLab link! I'm still figuring out their points system and how that translates to daily usage allowance, but this looks incredibly cool. It's places like this that are laying the groundwork :)
