Actually deprecated implies a deprecation timeline, which can be on the order of years.

Python 2 was deprecated when Python 3 was released, but the timeline of transition was over 10+ years.

Django has deprecation timelines that last over 1.5 years.

In Enterprise, its often seen to have deprecation last 7 years.

During deprecation, only maintenance is performed. That is---security fixes.

The real difference between deprecation and "maintenance mode" is that the later is indefinite and implies continuation until profit-loss. AWSv2 isn't in maintenance mode, its deprecated. Eventually Amazon may stop offering it, and doesn't want you to start using it, but while its in operation that doesn't mean they won't close security holes in services that offer it.

I was very surprised about a month ago about how incredible customer focused their policies are regarding to travel to a foreign country. Went to US with Vodafone and ramped up 1200€ data costs, sorry, podcast that automatically downloaded. T-mobile on the other hand limits this automatically and only allows you access after specifically requesting it in text messages.

That and one of the highest data bundles (12GB) in the Netherlands, 300 minutes of EU calling etc for ~28€ makes for an incredible good experience.

On the first statement, I think it's mostly right and he's merely just re-stating what Peter Norvig has stated all along albeit not as precisely.

On the second statement, I believe you both missed the point. Google was able to acquire click-through data which helped train it's rankin algorithms better by establishing the partnerships with Yahoo and AOL. It was the implicit feedback, not the crawled data that helped. But that obviously wasn't the only factor--having very smart engineers/scientists matters. But I think now that a lot more is open sourced, computing power is cheaper, etc the OPs thesis is that data is now the hardest thing to come by, and on this I fully agree.
So, really, Waze is hastening the identification of previously unreported road hazards. Seems like a good deal for local governments and residents in the long term.

> Eat less healthfully: because healthy food costs more than unhealthy food.

I hate this myth. It glosses over some of the most difficult choices that people in poverty have to make on a regular basis.

"Quantity has a quality all it's own." - various sources

This is anecdotal, and entirely based on my own experiences as I grew up in poverty (by Canadian standards, which is substantially better than most of the world). YMMV when evaluating this if you come from a part of the world that has more extreme cases of poverty.

Eating healthy foods is not inherently more expensive than eating unhealthy foods, but it is a risk management decision.

When you have a small budget and you have to make choices about where you will spend your money, you tend to make choices that insulate against risk. If you have a tight budget then you buy foods that provide the best economic value, not the best nutritional value. That means buying bulk, low cost food so that you can ensure that you have some food left at the end of the week, which might help reduce the amount you have to spend on food next week. This exacerbates the "healthy eating" myth because if you are buying foods that you hope last, you are disinclined to purchase foods that expire, so rather than buying fresh meat, produce, etc, you will instead purchase canned or frozen foods.

Everyone that I grew up with that has elevated themselves above their roots has a similar perspective - it's not that we could buy better food, it just didn't make sense to do so back then.
I think it is pressure in the overt sense.

That is some terrible reporting. Who knows what will come of this accident, but the one referenced where the guy claims the car ran into a trailer on it's own was pretty well refuted by Tesla's black-box style monitoring.

It raises the question of how to prove the trustworthiness of the event recording. I suppose an audit of their recording mechanisms could be enough, but it would be nice if the permanent recorder was made by a third party.
Perhaps someone could tell me what happens exactly to a judge that goes against the law in a case like this? If it goes to a higher court and what he has done is overturned what is exactly the practical significance of that? In other words the "my hands are tied" how valid is that in terms of what actually does happen as opposed to what theoretically can happen?
This story will certainly be more interesting once Tesla publishes the data from their side.

If their argument holds in court, wouldn't this mean that they could go after Google too, on the premise that if you add "Torrent" to your search request, it directs you to illegal content and that (according to their skewed logic) this would imply that Google "contains or promotes" illegal material/activity.

Vast majority of comments here are arguing that a satirical article that lampoons a subset of wealthy travelers does not encapsulate 100% of their own travel experience. Its a satirical article poking fun at a population that is both wealth AND critically unaware of how much of a benefit is.

Unlike the previous accident, which the Tesla S literally doesn't have the sensors to see the above-ground trailer... this Model X crashed into the side of a building. I'd like to assume that the below-chassis sensors would have been able to pick that up.

I'm more concerned about edge-cases like the Tesla S autonomous crash rather than cases like this one. My current assumption (pending evidence: we don't have any yet so we can only assume) is that the driver is the blame in this specific case.

We'll see when more data comes in.

----------

Unfortunately, I don't think it is moral for a car company to install sensors and use sensor data against the car's owner.

If I buy the car, then the whole car is allegedly mine: including these sensors that only Tesla can tap into. The fact that I don't have access to all the sensor data means that Tesla's definition of "ownership" is rather convoluted compared to a normal car.
> each with a random combination of brain size (which the authors used as a proxy for intelligence)

There is no evidence for this. Yes, there is evidence that a larger brain relative to body size correlates with intelligence, but the fact that a small brain is able to be smarter than a larger one (human vs whale) means that size is not the only way to get smart. (Or even a dwarf or small human vs a large one.)

Since it's possible to get smart in other ways, the study is based on a false premise, so its conclusion is not supported.
or may be we shouldn't shift responsibility and blame the tech for shortcomings of society. Accepting the truth and responsibility is the first step.

In cases like cut throughs, or common speeding areas 3 officers can write many more than 12 tickets/hour. I see it quite frequently. 1 officer stands off to the side behind a tree and watches for infraction. Sees infraction and walks out in the road and points to the driver to pull over onto a side street into the line of people getting tickets from the other 2 officers. Really quite efficient.
Except preact won't replace react.
Attack of the Fifty-Foot NIMBY's
The story is already interesting because Tesla does this, and no other car company seems to.

Tesla monitors your driving behavior so that they can save face and blame the driver if things go bad. I don't know of any other car company that does this.

Those monitors are installed to protect the company image, not you.

Its like you're buying a $100,000 piece of spyware. The car isn't your possession. Its sensor data belongs to Tesla the company, and not you. Despite your purchase of the vehicle. And that's assuming that Tesla's secret black-box technology is actually legitimate, and that they're not making stuff up / hiding the truth from us.
My wife and I did a six month round the world trip. No trust fund, just saved the money over several years from our jobs. We were a software engineer and teacher saving up for a house down payment -- then my wife got laid off, we had too much Sushi and beer one night, and decided to blow the down payment money on the trip.

Should we have taken that money and bought that house in Palo Alto? Financially the answer is yes. But 20 years later we are still very, very glad we took the trip. You can always make money.
Well like I said, once you see enough of these error messages you get a clear idea of how to parse them and understand what they're "really saying". But on first glance, and in particular for newcomers, the error message is rather arcane. And of course, in this instance it's quite straightforward because it's a very simple expression, with a rather clear problem. But consider when the error might be buried in a much more complicated expression, or the fact that it's not a function (or is a function, when you expected otherwise) might not be as clear. For example a curried function that has too many or not enough arguments applied.

Also, although from a compiler's point of view it might make sense, the wording "The function ‘"foo"’ is applied to one argument, but its type ‘[Char]’ has none" doesn't make sense. It's clearly not a function if it doesn't take an argument. The same error message would be far clearer if it said something similar to "The expression ‘"foo"’ is being used as a function, but it is of type ‘[Char]’".

Also these are just two examples I rattled off the top of my head; the fact is that while the compiler is incredibly helpful in making sure your code is correct, it's less helpful in explaining itself. But, I also realize that producing good error messages is hard, and (I assume) significantly less interesting to many on the GHC team.

They are not a US site so why would they concern themselves with the DMCA?
Be lucky you Americans can do that. In Germany, impossible.

Edit: The requirement is explained under https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meldeschein for those who speak German. Basically, hotels and similar operations are required to record the data, mainly to properly apply hotel taxes. Side effect: together with the new registration requirement (you MUST notify that you have moved into a new apartment), and landlords actually being liable if renters don't abide, it makes it extremely hard for wanted persons to live in Germany.

That's pretty common. I lived in a suburban neighborhood in Houston for years and the back-to-back cul-de-sacs always had sidewalks connecting them, so it was only with a car you'd have to go around the long way. As a result it was actually a lot nicer to travel through subdivisions if you were going somewhere by bike/foot, rather than going on the busy main roads.

I'm very skeptical about it. A lot of accidents happen when people confuse the brakes and acceleration paddle. Furthermore, the person who had the accident claimed the break was unresponsive. This could further mean she confused the paddles and instead of breaking, she accelerated even more.

I'm happy to hear, though, that the person was not heavily injured (she had burns on her arms but I don't think they are of the second or third degree because she would have mentioned that). Those accidents can be quite dangerous (especially in fast cars like the tesla).

> You can travel through South American for a couple grand a month

You are talking pesos, right? I've been doing this for 2 years now and the most expensive places in South America where French Guyana (about USD 2k/mo), Guyana and Uruguay (USD 1.5k/mo in each place) - both times in rented houses and with all food and transportation included. In all other countries you can stay in regular hotels without any discount for long term stays, eat out every day and still live on less than USD 1k/mo (I did this in Suriname, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay and Brazil).

The trick is simply not to use AirBnB or any other booking site except for the first one or two days in a new location and to buy flight tickets with cash at the airport. Having a clue about local economics also helps to evaluate offers and haggle them down from "clueless gringo" rate to "not so clueless gringo rate" (which is usually less than half of what one is asked for initially).

This is the correct analysis. Unless it's a gated subdivision, the streets are operated by the government for the broad public benefit; not the local benefit of the homeowners.
It doesn't make any mention about the plantiff's ability to actually collect the damages. In Texas at least, it's extremely difficult to actually collect damages, which make small claims court somewhat meaningless.
You might be surprised at how judges react to that sort of sophomoric cleverness. A better solution is to include a simple waiver form such as you've probably signed a thousand times saying "seller is not responsible for any damages blah blah blah". You can find generic versions of those online.
Tesla is quick to publish data that shows driver error, I wonder if they will be as quick to do so if it actually is a software issue. My guess however is that any refusal to publish the black box data will be taken as an admission of guilt.

I get the impression that the media is just itching for an actual software error so they can start a FUD firestorm about SDCs.
Most streets in older parts of the country were not designed for people to drive on, and plenty of children played on them. Motor vehicles simply killed enough children when they first became common that children were forced elsewhere.
