I've been hit by cars twice while bicycling. The first time was my own fault, and resulted in a broken leg. The second time was of indeterminate fault, there being a question due to sun glare on a traffic light.

Why is it that when it comes to driving safety, the first and paramount factor that people jump to is speed? To be sure, speed can make some accidents more likely, and probably worsen the results of many accidents. But I don't see that it's a more important factor than inattention, failure to respect traffic signs or lane discipline, failure to signal properly, poor training, poor automobile maintenance. Of these, inattention (viz cell phone usage, but not other contributors such as interacting with passengers) is the only other one I ever see addressed.

Why doesn't society tell people "keep to the right lane" or "signal your turns"? I'm willing to bet that your neighbor never yells at motorists "stop arguing with the kids in the backseat".

Well-said. I said something similar in my comment:

This Internet mob BS is (a) avoiding the best route (police/court) for people involved to resolve the alleged crime and (b) wasting too much time that can be spent on privacy or activism work. I recall far as Hoover days the regimes Tor fights sought to create exactly these sorts of situations to weaken citizens. Best to not help them.
We had some good times. I try not to judge, though I get your point.
Nope, he had no further evidence in the subsequent cases.

The problem is that, legally, Doug Costello (the victim who sold the printer) admitted that he owed the money. The system is set up so that if one party doesn't even show up, they are assumed to have agreed with everything the other party says. They HAVE to have some kind of a rule like this or people would just not show up and then be immune lawsuits. The law DOES say that you must notify them personally so they know about the lawsuit and the court date -- that is normally done by personally handing them the papers, but sometimes it can be done other ways like mailing them. In this case Gersh Zavodnik (the asshole who bought the printer) swears he mailed it (although Doug claims he never received it) so that counts.

The problem here is that the judge believed he didn't have the authority to exercise judgement and rule that this was an abuse of the system. Fortunately, the appeals court DID think the law allowed judges to exercise that judgement, and they did so.
The olympics isn't just the bbc's content though. It's licensed to broadcasters based in region. The bbc couldn't have sold you a three week viewing license if it wanted to. There is no way they would have permission to do so.

In most cases the broadcaster isn't the content owner. They have a license for their region and nowhere else.
Pre "GPGPU" era of mostly fixed function 3d accelerators is hardly comparable to modern programmable GPUs.

> It's just way less impressive to me given they're using a powerful graphics card to mostly do what it's designed to do ...

This demo isn't at all what the GPU is "designed to do". The all-procedural graphics is way different from drawing artist-generated 3d models from memory while being orchestrated by the CPU. While it is more commonplace today, this demo was pioneering work in "all GPU" procedural graphics.
by the US, I guess you mean the federal government. Remember people are actually at various smaller levels. Any sort of rebellion would require organization atleast at the city level. Cities have police forces, some of which have access to firearms, and maybe even a few non-active duty or defecting soldiers. After the federal government puts down uprisings at a few cities, they might get whole states defecting, if those city dwellers had powerful friends. This is not even considering possible rebellions at outfits like corporations, which are little countries in themselves, which internal economies, surveillance of their employees etc...

But realistically i can't even imagine USA going to war with any major trading partner, much less their own population.

More likely is some corrupt local city government gets ousted by organized people defecting to neighboring towns... again neighboring towns have police / weapons. But you can also just sue cities in state / federal court probably, as they don't have sovereignty. Not to mention elections. So again, i don't really see cities doing anything too stupid to a majority of their own population...

i think the need for weapons will continue to decrease as time goes on and the world economy consolidates more and more... weapons are mostly for sport, just like boxing or mma. Its more of a staged drama...

Every now and then Google Maps seems determined to take a scenic drive through the country which often ends up taking longer because the weather is bad or I make a wrong turn.

I had a new one the other day though when Google Maps took me through an office park prominently sign-posted as private property to avoid the regular traffic backup at a particular traffic light. I can't imagine having an issue as a one-pff thing but I probably wouldn't want to make a practice of it.
The big problem with ANY self-driving car is going to be the last .1%. Getting some sort of machine learning algorithm to drive well 99.9% of the time isn't that hard. Getting that same car to work well 99.999% of the time is where the challenge is.

The fact that Hotz seems like he doesn't recognize this fundamental problem is worrisome when thinking about the future of his company... and the field of self-driving cars. I wonder how quickly some sort of transit governing body is going to come down on him when they realize he can't possibly have done ANY kind of validation of the safety of his car.

Salt is a large random string unique per user, not per password.

Of course it's per user.

But "large" makes some sense. My current implementation has maybe 20-22 bits of uniqueness in the salt, certainly less than 16 bytes.

I don't think 16 bytes is necessary even as insurance against the future. Rainbow tables are still expensive to build.

On the other hand, maybe to build just a small table addressing the stupidest passwords ("password","12345678",etc.) it's worth making it more difficult.
I believe you miss the point. Stating that foreign students cheap more, implies that simply being foreign is what increases your chance of cheating. When in fact it would have been more accurate to say 3rd world students cheat more. Of course that wouldn't have been politically correct so it gets watered down.

The reason this matters is that e.g. in Japan, foreigners are described as the source of all sorts of problems, because yes statistically speaking if you throw everybody who is a foreigner into one group and run statistics on them they are significantly overrepresented on a number of bad things.

That means you would struggle with getting things like an apartment because simply being foreign labels you.

I guess in a screwed up way some people might thing this is a more democratic form of racism.

But I don't think it is a step forward when we "democratize" prejudices by creating artificial groups of people and discriminating based on that.

Would it somehow be more fear if we in Europe regarded the US as dangerous as Mexico because we artificially picked the whole of north America including Mexico to make generalizations about everybody living there?
People do not behave consistently under stress so such a testing value is close to 0. It's a fight or flight response. If "fight" rolled up on the interview there is no guarantee it will roll up next time your production goes down. You can just as well toss a coin.
Here they had the most perfect distribution mechanism on earth. A global market at their hands, at zero cost, without the need for middle-men.

This is the part that mystifies me: sacrifice sales to preserve an old model. Oh, I know that the guilty parties don't think they're sacrificing sales because licensing models, blah, blah, blah. And maybe I need to sit down, do the math, and find out they're right. But it'll take some convincing for me to believe that between these two choices:
1. Hey, 7 billion people on the planet, if you have internet access and $5, you can watch this.
2. Hey, Brits, wanna watch a cool show? Tune in tomorrow. 'mericuns? No, we won't be taking your money right now. But we'll take it next year. When? Oh, we don't know, we have some deals to cut first. Okay, we'll take your money now. What? You found something else to occupy your viewing time in those six month? What's that, Costa Rica? No, I don't even see you on the list. Maybe next year.

...#2 makes the most money. While taking little interest in the whole business, were I to guess it's due to fifedoms and entrenched interests. That Costa Rican distributor wants his cut, too.
> Where did you get your information on the danger of a crash with a tesla vs a regular car? They surpassed every car in collisions tests and the concerns about the battery going up in flames have been fixed since the car was established.

I'm not saying that tesla is not safe, in fact I'm saying quite the opposite. Tesla is a fast car and if not properly handled, all fast cars are dangerous. Since the 75D's aren't delivered yet, I'd expect it to be a 90D or P90D. The go from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds. I believe they are fast then any other SUV out there (except prototypes, maybe), when in ludicrous mode.

So, I'd expect that this tesla did not crash with 10mph into the wall. I'd expect a Porshe with similar acceleration to have much more serve damages to the driver. This, once again, shows how safe a tesla is.

> We have the congestion charge in London. Initially the traffic did drop, but now the traffic is just as busy, and the gridlock lasts all day.

My guess is that this is for the same reason as the fact that housing prices have gotten crazy high in London over the last decade: demand has continued to outpace supply (and in this case, the congestion charge). I mean, you can always suppress traffic if you're willing to raise the price high enough, right? It's just that politically, that can be a hard thing to do.

> the solution will have to be something like automated self driving cars integrated into a conveyor belt like system, which incentivise ride-sharing.

Sure, Minority Report-style traffic systems are probably a good idea in the long run (although that kind of thing is obviously a very long ways out). We'll still have to make investments in other, denser modes of transportation, though, as well as market-oriented policies like parking fees and congestion charges.

In simple terms, also a Brit living abroad, I agree. But I think the problem is Entertainment Industry layers of licensing. I believe the BBC pays actors, images and incidental music by industry association (eg BMI), license which may not be global, but only for UK territories. Geo-blocking is more of a problem of super complex royalties and intellectual property management, not simply they don't want to share. Compare with sports events which are licensed by territory for no practical reason except negotiating rights, the successful bidding media outlet is often required by the producer to geo-block.
In the California Bay Area, this is not true. There is a non-trivial number of people who are willing to commute 2+ hours each way in order to live in bigger, cheaper houses in "safer" neighborhoods.
I traveled for 10 months and this is exactly the feeling I got. Thanks for putting it so well. I had a strong desire to move forward on learning and building something, which the constant uncertainty and inherent instability of traveling was unfit for. Like everything else, it's best done in moderation for people like myself who love to experience new things but also love to make new things.
Those stories fell off the front page because of software that penalizes overheated threads, which tend to be shallow and sensational. That software has been running for years.

Even if an automatic penalty hadn't kicked in, moderators would have penalized that first link (even if we personally agree with what it says). First, it's a duplicate that adds no new information over previous incarnations of the story (which have already appeared more than once on the front page, already an indulgence and certainly not a pro-MS one). Second, it's a garden-variety riler-upper, and those aren't a good fit for HN, as should be well known by now.

None of these mechanisms has anything to do with Microsoft. I'm pretty sure that the bias you're arguing for doesn't exist at our end. How sure are you that you're not simply noticing things because they fit your interpretation?

Conversely, if folks got treatment for their paranoia and compensation issues we wouldn't be literally awash in guns so there'd be nothing to debate.

Argument #1 has been made well by several sibling comments: I would argue that the TV license fee is not payment for access to BBC content, but a funding mechanism to enable the creation of high-quality public value content which, once successfully financed, should be disseminated as widely as possible.

Argument #2: Estonians pay Estonian TV license fees, Austrians Austrian fees. In a common market and a political union, why do we block eachothers' public-value, publicy funded content from eachother?
The neighborhood street is only better because it is sized to serve the needs of the community round it. If everyone is making use of it then it's going to fail periodically, not unlike a small blood vessel in proximity to a blocked artery.

Also, it's simply not possible at present to iterate the infrastructure the way it is to recalculate traffic timing; it's always going to be possible to arbitrage the traffic flow, so to speak.

Agreed, sprawl is an issue.

> come and go at the same time.

Yes, but at the same time, there are good reasons for why most people have roughly in sync schedules: it makes any kind of socialization much, much easier. Yeah, you can dodge traffic by leaving for work a few hours later than everyone else, but then hanging out with any of your friends or family will be painful or outright impossible. And it's particularly important for anyone with kids to have a schedule that roughly matches them being in school.
They smoke/drink more because they're stressed more since they have menial jobs coupled with poor financials. It's not crazy for the 47y/o waitress to feel like he's "stuck", and as a result, indulge in smaller forms of pleasure for temporary escape from the bleak reality of his life. It's for this reason that I believe unfair taxation upon cigarettes is morally corrupt. It's literally pushing them into a deeper hole.
I think you're underestimating the network effects of widespread, private gun ownership. It's true that private gun owners will rarely coalesce into a potent political organization (NRA notwithstanding), but those types of organizations often form in reaction to external pressures. In other words, the more oppressive the government becomes, the more likely such organizations would be formed.

Additionally, even without formal organization, they do serve as deterrents against crime. And then, of course, there are also individual benefits, but that's yet another matter.
I don't like the term "war". I think this is a valid process of crowdsourced information and neighborhoods then working the political process to put up "soft" barriers to change that information. And on the plus side for the neighborhoods, it forces neighbors to meet and hopefully get to know each other as they try to exert a crowdsourced counterforce.
For me it is the opposite.

Sometimes when late I rather save a few minutes and I don't care which route I take.

Maybe they should let one pick whether they want an aggressive route or not. There's always google maps for slower highway mostly routes.
I kind of want my police force to do their controls in the most efficient manner, to catch the most violators with the least amount of manpower. (Of course supplemented with an element of surprise.)

>> You would pay their legal fees for trying to extort $27,970.

Also, the cost of the legal fees may not be the same as what "they" paid. In some countries, I think the judge can determine what the fair price for the legal fees. This way the "loser" of the case isn't burned because the other party chose to hire a $1,000/h lawyer.
I have often argued that 16:9 is a terrible ratio for office work. 4:3 was a great ratio for creating documents since they are almost necessarily longer than they are wide. The relevant portion of most spreadsheets is rather wide, since you don't necessarily care about looking at every row at once; however menu bars and other information is generally placed horizontally across the screen, eating up valuable real-estate.

I've tried rotating my monitors so they are long in the vertical direction, which is great for reading, but doesn't account for the space needed on either side of a document for supporting information, or what have you.

An interesting phenomenon is resident-only on-street parking.

While I have a parking spot on my own land, in some neighborhoods you get to take a public asset and make it private for either free or 1/10th the market rate. Some are even audacious enough to put cones in front of their houses.

That sounds like a slightly more nuanced way of saying the same thing? I agree that a lot of the cost differential between healthy and unhealthy eating is caused by shelf-life issues rather than a difference in sticker price, but it works out the same. Eg if eating a diet with fresh foods requires making shopping trips twice as frequently as a diet with frozen foods, then that's the same as if the fuel/time/car-wear costs of the extra trips were added to the cost of the fresh stuff. And if fresh stuff will sometimes spoil, that's like if it sometimes unpredictably cost extra.
