I suspect that if the attitude towards autonomous vehicle accidents is similar to that of aircraft accidents, they will become extremely safe very quickly.

On the other hand, if every autonomous vehicle accident is investigated to the same standard as every aircraft accident, it appears likely that the entire system will become so overloaded and cost-ineffective that it is completely impractical to operate before we get over the hurdle and achieve any consistently safer performance that might otherwise be available.
What I find fascinating that the most anti-government people (usually right wing) are usually for these deals and the more pro-government people (usually left wing) are against these deals. At least this is my observation.

Scott Walker for example signed a stadium deal in Wisconsin and campaigns on small government.
I assume they mean completely disconnect the equipment from ALL external power sources. Typically even when a piece of equipment is offline in a data center, it continues to draw power, and will often keep running systems like DRAC and other management/status tools (since the whole concept of a data center is NEVER having to get up out of your chair, so even a "shutdown" system needs to be able to be remotely started).

Since the firmware had a bug, bad state could be stored, completely removing power may clear that state and appears to have done so in this case. They may have also needed to pull the backup battery, and reset the firmware settings, but I wouldn't presume that just from the term "flea power."
> so I'm not sure why we expect stadiums financing deals to do it.

Because tickets to enter the stadium are not free.

If they were free, like how parks are free, that would be different.
Football is very boring.

I used to enjoy it, at least when the Steelers are playing. Then I got into soccer, eventually getting a more expensive cable package to watch the Premier League.

Now when I watch football again, I am painfully aware of the time between plays, the incessant commercials, and now the ever increasing number of "official reviews". Seems like every 3rd or 4th play, an official has to leave the field, watch the play over and over and over and over again for 5 minutes, before announcing that, yes, they got the call right in the first place.

Soccer, the action flows pretty constantly, and it's all done in under 2 hours. Watching football is a grueling, four hour commitment. There goes your Sunday afternoon (and evening, if you are enough of a glutton to stick around for Sunday Night Football).

It's starting to all seem like Farmville. Something terribly boring, that somehow the general public has convinced itself is a lot of fun.

(But please don't tell anyone I said this, I live in Pittsburgh!)
Where do you live? First of all, we need to get around the inaccurately named regions of the US.

If you live in the midwest (the middle of the country; from top to bottom) or the south (southwest of the country), football without a doubt.

If you live anywhere else, you can pick and choose. To me, baseball is a lot more intellectually stimulating and has a lot more interesting strategy, but the more I learn about football, the more I see how much goes into it as well. I was a rabid baseball fan as a youth, but these days can't be bothered to spend the time required to watch a game (let alone 160 games a season). As such, I'm more of a football fan now-- frankly, there is more action, and there are fewer games per year so it's easier to follow a team.

Q: How exactly does one teach heroism to college students?

A. We teach aspirational ethics. What I teach my students is, You’re born heroic. I go into these animal studies, and heroism is actually in our nature. What you have to do is make sure that the system doesn’t change you, that our educational system doesn’t teach you to be willfully blind and to forget your aspirations, because that’s the default position. ... The main thing is, Do not let our educational institutions make you into something that you will be ashamed of.

Q. And you sort of warn them that you’re preparing them for a life of possible sadness and alienation?

A. Well, yeah. There’s a price to be paid.

The Rise and Fall of the Java Applet
If that is really true, then we will of course update the comparison page. However, we have put it together from what we were able to find in Google Protocol Buffer's own docs + stack overflow + googling. It is entirely possible that we made mistakes.

Sending schema over the wire is not a good solution for anything else than point-to-point communication. An intermediate node would need every single schema transmitted along with every single messsage, or have another way to keep the schemas cached. That becomes complicated.

The Protobuf documentation says very clearly that you cannot see when one message ends and another begins. Then a protobuf message is not fully self describing. This might be easy to add, but it doesn't have it (according to Protobuf's own docs).

We have looked at Cap'n Proto - but late in the process where we had already looked at quite a lot of formats. From what I can see, Cap'n Proto is pretty much just a binary struct. That is pretty close to what we wanted to do with ION, except we wanted it to be compact on the wire too. We have seen that Cap'n Proto has a compaction mechanism, but we have not yet had time to analyze and compare it to ION's.Cap'n Proto with compaction would be very similar to ION - on a conceptual level.

However, we need to make space for some IAP specific fields coming later in the process (like cache references, column stores and more). Stuff that is IAP specific. That is why we chose to roll with our own encoding in the first place.

Yes, because exactly those cases where the driver (as operator, as distinct from the -- often the same person's role as -- owner-as-maintainer) is responsible now become the manufacturer's responsibility. But, again, that's exactly what insurance covers.

But, again, we know the cost of that liability is -- its the cost of driver's insurance.

Licensed pilot here (learned to fly in 1987). People need to look at self-driving cars in the way pilots use an auto-pilot.

Auto-pilot is most useful in two situations. 1) long cross country legs where there is not much flying to do (just maintain heading and altitude), so A/P frees the pilot up to manage other systems, enjoy the view, etc, and alleviates fatigue, 2) flying a precision instrument approach, reducing the risk that the pilot will succumb to spatial disorientation in the setup for (usually manual) landing.

With cars, auto-drive capability will be useful in reducing accidents in two modes: 1) long duration highway driving where fatigue is a big issue, 2) intervening to prevent a distracted driver from causing an accident (rear end collision etc).

I'd be perfectly happy with a car that can drive itself in cruise mode on the interstate, but requires an alert driver on local roads (with the added bonus that if I am about to slam into something, it will brake to avoid or lessen the impact).

Something for the liability crowd to consider, self driving cars won't be able to avoid every potential mishap, but they will be able to reduce their severity. A car that can automatically brake to reduce its speed by 25% just before impact, will reduce its kinetic energy by roughly half, and the potential for injury by more still.

>Formally, the quality-of-life benefit to a particular fan who attends a sports game is the amount above the admission price they would have been willing to spend to attend the game. For instance, if someone is willing to spend $30 to attend a game that only costs $20, they receive a $10 quality-of-life benefit. Adding up the individual quality-of-life benefits of all residents who attend games yields the total metro area’s quality-of-life benefit from game attendance.

Nope, this is real economic theory. It's not something the Fed invented out of thin air, and it's used in a wide variety of fields. Of course, there is a (widely-acknowledged) epistemic problem in assuming a person's desire for something is proportional to the happiness they will receive from it -- this is called "the theory of revealed preferences", and it is used primarily because all of the alternatives people have been able to think of so far (for assessing happiness) are even worse.
It's not an unreasonable position for a municipality to chose lose money on a stadium. They typically lose money on symphony orchestras, ballets and performing arts centers. That one is considered low culture and the other considered high culture is not relevant is we assume that the people are being ably represented.

But what seems to infuriate people is that orchestras and ballets are typically not owned by billionaires, and they are not part of a league with a multi-billion dollar budget.

I'm from India, and I generally have to talk to my younger cousins when they think of choosing courses like Arts, History, Literature and Media studies about impossibility of making a good living with that sort of an academic background. Almost certainly these people will have to do jobs that don't remotely match their education, and are generally low paying. Career is almost non-existent, and then starts the regular whining and hating people from the STEM(and law) branches. In fact even science and technology degrees will get you nothing more then low paying jobs as teachers. Your best bet as a salaried employee is with a engineering degree, medicine and may be law.

I can only understand how much more worse it can be for people in America, with far higher student debts, high rents in cities, unfortunate health interruptions and in a largely credit driven consumerism based economy. You can pretty much spend your whole life paying loans(education, house etc).

Next time while choosing a course, at least make sure it gives you some bare minimal skills. I would even bet, some thing like carpentry, welding or plumbing would be more helpful to making a living than some thing like studying History.

What's sad about being alienated from fools?
The NFL gave up nonprofit status last year, and its status as one was a bit of a misunderstanding. All the teams (except the Packers) were taxed for-profits, as was the merchandising, TV deals, etc. Basically all the revenue streams were already taxed, and now that they're not non-profit the NFL can be a lot more opaque about its finances.

This was one of the toughest things about admining hardware clusters. Firmware updates (and firmware issues) are so hard to track down. It's so annoying.

Certainly. But for the OP's point of liability being "The. Critical. Question." to stand the question of who gets paid by whom in the event of a death by autonomous vehicle, and how much, is somehow going to be more important than all the other economic and societal benefits of those vehicles.

The U.S. has around 25% of the world's personal vehicles, what it does is certainly going to play a big part, but if it does something crazy to restrict the technology it's just going to be developed elsewhere.

I can't begin to see how it could possibly be secure to run different threads (read: shared memory) as your containerised primitive. That's just ridiculous. Sure, you might get some performance. But a bug in the version of Apache you're sharing between containers (which, in true shared hosting fashion, has taken security out of your hands) is going to break every container on the box (as well as whatever namespace the "master" Apache process is in).

And I'm not sure this model would work well with pool-based concurrency models (like with nginx, where work is given to workers, workers aren't spawned for each request).

However, it would be cool if this was just merged upstream, so that Apache could take advantage of the resource limiting. I'm not sure that it's a good general solution for shared hosts though (then again, you never trust shared hosts after you pop your first shell).

And every city has plenty of public courts. Soccer in the US has always been more of an organized sport and less of a street/pickup sport. It's more "something you haul the suburban kids to" than "toss a couple objects on the ground, call them a goal, and kick the ball at it". Baseball used to be a street sport here, but really isn't anymore (but it is in the Caribbean).
Clarification: The corporate structure of the Green Bay Packers is shrouded in a mystery that would make a venture funded Silicon Valley company blush.

There are are multiple classes of stock. The later issued ones are indeed basically paper trinkets bought by rabid "cheese heads" so they could claim "ownership".

There is apparently no reason the owners of the few voting shares couldn't change the bylaws.

Rumor is that the NFL had to step in the 1980s (90s ?) and force the Packer owners to run a better shop (and stop paying themselves dividends). Same rumor mill reports they had to step in and force the New York Giants (who were paralyzed by two incompetent owners that owned 50% each) to run a better ship.

Note that this intervention turned around the fortunes these two teams which had earned reputations for gridiron incompetence. Miracle in the Meadowlands?

To be fair, that stadium now can be used for conventions. It's attached to a large convention center.

The problem was for years the Convention Authority couldn't use the stadium 6 months a year (August to Jan) as NFL releases their schedule around March (I think). Conventions are typically planned far ahead than NFL.

Now maybe the Convention Authority can start to utilize the space and pare down the debt faster. Who knows.
Now add the implications of liquidation preferences (presumably) to the math and you'll see things get a lot more challenging.
