1. Air bags sometimes kill people who would otherwise have survived in an accident, but on balance they save lives.

2. Making air bags mandatory hasn't caused manufacturers of cars or of air bags to go bankrupt.

3. If self-driving cars cause deaths, but on balance save lives, the situation is directly analogous.

4. There will be a way to make self-driving cars work. Q.E.D.

I seem to remember that laws exist to grant immunity to manufacturers of airbags, at least if they were functioning properly. A quick Google finds lots of ambulance-chasers who talk about "defective airbags," so manufacturers aren't immune to liability if they screwed up.

Similarly, you could imagine that No Fault laws could be passed for self-driving cars that were operating within reasonable parameters. A gross error on the part of a self-driving car could still leave manufacturers liable, but as history has shown, car companies are willing to write off even gross negligence claims rather than voluntarily add safety devices to cars, calculating cost-to-fix vs cost-to-pay-off-family tradeoffs. [1]

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that, any company that doesn't offer self-driving cars in the next 15 years may as well plan to shut down or be acquired. This is going to be a must-have feature. They will figure out how to make it work for manufacturers.

The liability question will be solved. They wouldn't even let car companies go bankrupt when they (arguably) deserved to; they certainly won't let them get into a situation that kills them, and as others have rightfully pointed out, the numbers aren't even that prohibitive if they needed to self-insure.

Since Cloud Dataproc is ephemeral it's going to be a (probably) better idea to use GCS over HDFS so there is no data loss.

Technically, Cloud Dataproc clusters have both HDFS (on PD) for write/read-intensive operations (and scratch space) along with the GCS connector. GCS is not the default file system, however.
It does appear to have five-fold rotational symmetry, at least in the way the coils are distributed.

I don't think baked-in is a great idea unless the data layer is really good.

There are plenty of data-layer implementations that work with react, but none are good enough yet (imo) to be the canonical way to do it.
More than likely, insurance will continue to be mandatory and paid by the vehicle owner ... but seeing it drop to $10/mo would be pretty sweet! Of course, you would then be prohibited from driving the vehicle. Self-driving only if you want to see the savings.
That's wishful thinking.

1. Airplanes have highly trained trained human pilots who are highly vigilant and often in semi-manual control during takeoff and landing. Not a valid comparison.

2. Typical auto insurance policies have liability limits of around $100K. In cases of serious injury or death, tort damages often exceed that tremendously and bankrupt the responsible person. The solution is to get the legislature to cap tort damages for killing someone at ~$100K? Not going to happen.

No tool will ever solve the problem of being over-burdened, as becoming more efficient just means doing more in the same amount of time.

Being over-burdened is a personal / social problem, and the only solution is not taking on / expecting more than is realistic... easier said than done!

Efficient use of time is it's own goal, and is orthogonal to the overall load.
I was initially going to type something along the lines of not speaking for others, but then realized that it comes down to projecting your own sense of self-worth. (Yes, projecting without having anything to back it up with is asinine.) In my career there had been a staggering amount of unique hard to replace individuals that simply did not know how to project themselves as valuable - no one realized their importance until they had been managed out, and honestly there was no one else to blame but the folks themselves.
I stand corrected.

However, what is the cultural difference between US and UK journalism where UK stuff is to the point (i.e. with a summary of the story, then the story told properly) and US articles always have to have some meandering nonsense that is as tangential as possible to the story? The format makes sense for a book but is a bit silly in New York Times style articles.
Insurance companies raise premiums after accidents because there is an excuse to do so. It has nothing do with your likelihood to have another accident, and everything to do with charging you more so that they can attract new customers with a lower price. Premiums go up even if the driver is found to be not at fault.

Well, Debord would likely specify that the root problem is not a displacement of cultural transmission, but a replacement of the authentic self. This replacement happens by the means of cultural transmission diverting one's self from being and living toward pursuing having and appearing. Moreover, he indicts religion as an equivalent of mass marketing; their images of cultural desire and individual/social aspiration are the vehicles through which one is alienated from an authentic self.

That cars are designed with pedestrian safety taken into account? :)

I don't know if you've noticed but cars tend not to have noticeable front bumpers these days. Some cars also now have deformable bonnets, or bonnets that pop up if they detect somebody rolling on to them. (If you want to know how this works, you'll have to ask somebody else. I have no idea.) This is all to limit the damage cars cause to people when they hit them.

Euro NCAP has a section in its current ratings where they assess how good the car is at hitting people without injuring them too much, giving manufacturers of vehicles in many sectors an incentive to design with this in mind. See http://www.euroncap.com/en/vehicle-safety/the-ratings-explai....

Supposedly the Dacia Duster's rather poor Euro NCAP rating was predominantly due to its ropey score on the car-hitting-person section: http://www.euroncap.com/en/results/dacia/duster/10968
> focus on humans in space and on other planetary bodies so think look a bit grim from that perspective.

In our imagination we focus on landing somewhere, but this seems a bit short sighted. We expend all that energy leaving one gravity well to end up at the bottom of another. But the act of living and travelling through space is exploration in its own right and hugely inspirational. And if you do want humans to live on another planet then learning how to function in space is a necessity. Why not focus on making space stations that are as self sustaining as possible?

Liability of all things is "The. Critical. Question." when it comes to autonomous vehicles?

That's such an amazingly American thing to say. Do you really think that the uptake of autonomous vehicles is going to be hindered to any significant degree by what are largely U.S.-specific legal issues?

Can you imagine a world in 2060 where the U.S. decides to leave something like 10-20% of GDP on the table because of the liability aspects of their legal environment? It might hinder uptake a bit but I don't see it stopping it in the long run.

In any case regardless of what the U.S. does at that time the rest of the world is going to be driving autonomous vehicles.

Yes, it is (if it is due to content).

We believe that while ION is similar in encoding to other formats, it is different in aspects that make ION a better all-round data and network message format. See our ION vs.Other Data Formats Page too.

http://tutorials.jenkov.com/iap/ion-vs-other-formats.html

Not every innovation is from scratch, or 100% unique. MessagePack was designed as a binary encoding of JSON. CBOR too. ION was designed to be a binary general purpose data format able to mimic both JSON, XML, CSV and raw bytes (files), plus the most commonly used data types.

Of course there will be similarities when we try to tackle the same problems, but we also believe we had added something new and useful to the mix.
That's actually not why child labor laws were enacted. They were usually enacted at the behest of highly mechanized companies which required less labor, and preferred adult labor (, this is especially well-documented in England). Thus the highly mechanized companies put their less-mechanized competitors at a disadvantage by getting these laws enacted. In other places such as Prussia, child labor laws were enacted as a sort of stimulus/wealth transfer program.

We must remember that depriving families of income doesn't help them; it is not as if children are sent to work to further enrich their wealthy parents. If you want to help poor children who have to work, please give them money and opportunities, and do not deprive them of the best of their (poor set of) options.

That report or whatever it is is really low quality. I just read the "How hosting a professional sports team contributes to quality of life" (page 71) section, and it reads like a middle schooler's homework.

It is devoid of facts and has questionable logic and very questionable conclusions. Honestly it is junk.

Essentially their entire quality of life argument boils down to "BUT SPORTS ARE AWESOME!!!" then just pull random dollar figures out of thin air and attach them to how awesome it is for fans to enjoy watching sports (????).

Like as in you started your head toward the screen but stopped? Or perhaps it occurred to you that headbutting the screen would be desirable but you refrained from doing so out of regard for your health and the health of your equipment. Or are you simply using "headbutting your screen" as an analogy for how you felt, which would be sort of ironic.
I am not too sure it won’t happen (most legislators are rather fond of large donations). There is plenty of potential to play states off against each other to get the cap through.

I do agree with you that until the manufacturers liability is solved there won’t be autonomous cars sold.

Oh please. Don't try to blame the consumers for this one. Some person at a grocery store or a restaurant has no realistic way of knowing how the meat he's buying was raised and slaughtered. What's he going to do, arrange a farm tour every time he gets something to eat? The best you can get is places like Whole Foods which claim their meat is more ethically treated, but even here you're just relying on their word and their fancy marketing.

Moreover, the middle class in this country is disappearing, so people on the bottom end have less and less money to spend on decent food, so of course they're going to get whatever's cheapest. It's not like the grocery store advertises, "buy this cheaper meat here where the cows have been tortured to death, rather than this more expensive meat where they haven't".

You can only blame consumers when the consumers actually have sufficient information to make an informed choice, and make the wrong choice anyway. Laws like this aim precisely to prevent consumers from having this information. This is why we need decent government to make capitalism and "free markets" work as well as possible: it's the government's job to keep the playing field level and fair, and laws like this are counter to this goal because they tilt the field in favor of the most evil companies who want to hide how they make stuff so that consumers can't make an informed choice.

I've been thinking about the naming of this library, and I don't think "science" is a good metaphor for what it does.

You can only test hypotheses of the form "A is exactly like B" - no bug fixes are allowed, because they will show up as differences.

So a more accurate (but less cool) name might be "Refactoring" - you assert that all your tests still pass, where your tests are your production data.

You sound like a great parent who really cares about their daughter, so I feel like I should leave a final point. In my anecdotal experience as a recent CS undergrad, STEM, and particularly engineering, CS, and Mathematics, paths seem to generate the most stress on students because their environments tend to skew social norms (gender imbalances, workloads, social stereotypes).

I believe a full perspective of any degree should include its potential impact on a students social life, because lets face it it's a contributing factor to why students want to go to college and IMO we derive a lot of our happiness (especially at that age) by our social interactions.

That said with love and support like the kind you seem to be providing, she should be able to succeed at anything.

That is a very poor analogy. Airbags have only killed a few hundred people and in many of those cases the manufacturer was still not liable because of human error (victim was not wearing a seatbelt, was a child improperly seated in the front, etc.)

The manufacturer liability exposure for fully autonomous driving is literally several orders of magnitude greater than for airbags.
Why i like and dislike DBX (note: i'm completely on AAPL ecosystem in HW):

+ sync works better than any other out there

+ its quick in sync esp between other machines in same network

+ sharing folders and links is much easier than other including iCloud

+ developer adaptation is high on mobile apps which is turning out to be increasingly valuable last year or so

- expensive and limitation of option plans

- extremely poor biz plans and tools, esp if you're a startup

- privacy: hugely concerned about it and haven't heard much from their comms teams about what they are doing to protect me or providing backdoors or govt snooping. (better to move to iCloud for personal info)

- no new noteworthy features - almost 'feels' like the product is stuck in 2012 era

- MS and DBX integration sounds awesome on paper, i have had an incredibly frustrating time using it. Both companies are pointing finger at each other for live editing and sharing.

Once developers start offering iCloud as sync option often, i'll move over.

> Insurance does not typically cover the cost of killing or seriously injuring someone.

Umm... That's pretty much exactly what liability insurance covers. Even with maximums, insurance companies frequently have to pay the whole amount regardless of what the policy says.

Anyone who is collectible (i.e, who can't just declare bankruptcy in the case of a multi-million dollar settlement) should carry umbrella coverage, though, because the insurance company may try to come back to you to collect.

It's cheap compared to car insurance, and it can cover into the millions.

>and a whole category of single-vehicle accidents than now result in lawsuits.

If you're talking about single-vehicle accidents where the human is at fault, then I wouldn't be surprised if those dropped to almost zero for self-driving cars. The place where self-driving cars have the most trouble is in complex situations involving multiple moving objects; most situations where the car just runs into something, harming its occupants, would rightfully be considered a defect.

And as others have mentioned, manufacturers already factor in the cost of defects into the total cost of producing a car.
