Speeding = you are to fast according to the allowed speed

High speed = anything above 130 km/h (about 80 mph; because that is the recommend speed on an Autobahn)

Very high speed = anything above 250 km/h (about 155 mph; because that is where normally the limiter kicks in)

Just, yesterday morning I drove my self at about 200 km/h (124 mph) because I was in hurry, because I had some unexpected road-construction work before.

This was an 18 year old girl, who just had her driving license (18 is the minimum legal age for driving here in Germany; 17 with governed driving by an adult)

Here an comparable accident who lifted for 40m (131ft) and crashed in a field with some rollover and it does not look that different from that Tesla accident: http://www.swp.de/heidenheim/lokales/polizeibericht/Auto-lan...

It isn't as big a problem as you might expect.

A very low percentage of users even change the advanced settings, so any issues which might exist have a very low impact.

If a user does hit a problem with some combination of settings, it is more likely they will report it with some useful reproduction information, since they are likely more of a power user than the average user.

Finally, anyone changing advanced settings is more likely to understand that they may break something and are less likely to be upset, when compared to something fundamental breaking for all users.
Here's code I wrote a while ago that did exactly what I specified and worked in production on all major browsers:

Good article on vesting schedule. I would put something like 15-25% for the first year then 5% per year up to 4 more years. But certain quotes need to be met.

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/231044
So, if what my server is sending the user clients looks like 1997, then the people writing Web browser software have had 2016 - 1997 = 19 years to do the same things to the same HTML and CSS.

So, sounds like my code stands a good shot at looking good on the devices of nearly all the users.

Okay. That's what I was hoping for!

Facebook's response seems inadequate. Because let's be frank here:

1) There are obvious security concerns thinkable. For example, plenty of websites (google docs, dropbox etc) offer an 'anyone with this link can view document' option. Which is generally safe, given these randomly generated links usually contain > 100 bits of entropy. Access to the link is access to the document, and so the link is a PW.

2) This link can be publicly accessed, despite having only been published in an ostensibly private FB conversation. Facebook has now admitted that the contents of a private conversation can partially be public. That's ridiculous. Not just because it's not safe, there are more things that aren't safe (e.g. sending risque images on Snapchat). But mainly because it's against expectations. Snapchat told me on my first day of usage, in the app, that my friends can save my snaps and that I should keep this in mind, and while many users of Snapchat use it recklessly, I would guess that most are aware of the risks. Users carry much of the burden of responsibility now. But there's no such awareness of the risks of partial contents of a private facebook conversation not being publicly accessible, nobody is aware of this.

3) The response seems wholly unnecessary. It seems to me relatively trivial to require a security token to see this data, much like the rest of the chat itself.

Now I'm not particularly alarmed by the issue itself, it's one of those 'safety in numbers' kinds of things. A hacker would likely be more effective setting up a phishing website and buying an email database, than to collect links and then review them for sensitive data. But the response of FB feels inadequate and unnecessary to me.
Hm, what nobody seems to have mentioned yet: We've all grown up. In that time I used to play 6 hours every week day and maybe 12 hours every weekend day. Now I'm happy if I can make it to 5 hours a whole week combined. If you would organize a LAN party with all my old friends from back then and all the games, I would still need to look in my calendar if I can make it there.

Not just times have changed. We have changed as well.

It's hard to see the upside of this, from a phone buyer end-user point of view. By looking at a USB C and 3.5mm jack next to each other for a moment, it is obvious this will enable only a minuscule additional thinning of devices. But at what cost? Most likely:

Significantly more expensive headphones for at least the next several years and possibly longer. If I were a headphone manufacturer I would be thrilled by this development. As a headphone buyer, less so.

In most cases we will give up being able to charge and listen at the same time, unless willing to add an additional external dongle. Meanwhile manufacturers will continue their, uh, curious belief that cell phone battery capacities are anywhere near good enough.

Have you ever used Jet? Try it, add a few things to your cart then add a few more and see what happens to the prices of the previous items. There are millions of permutations being computed behind the scenes.

The system is computing prices all of the time based on many factors. Plus we have built everything in house from our warehouse management system and supply chain tools to order management and everything else.

That amount of compute encompasses QA, Dev environments and any experimental and R&D work we are doing.

Plus jet.com is trying to compete with Amazon so that means the system has to be ready for many million more users than there are currently shopping with us.

CBP (component based programming) has been around (at least the idea has) since the 60s. It is the holy grail of some developers; being able to compose apps from a collection of components that work everywhere. I don't believe anyone has ever truly reached that goal. But surely it'll work this time because of JavaScript.
Yeah that stood out to me too, since when do people boast about how much resources they consume?

That's 2k customers (not concurrents) per core, which is a terribly low rate. Even if they've only been running 1 month that's 1200 seconds (20 minutes!) of CPU time per customer, and it gets rapidly worse the longer you assume they've existed...

I disagree that mathematics itself is difficult to engage with outside of academia.

There are some academic mathematicians who think mathematics has to be hard because it was difficult for them to understand. There are others for whom sharing their insights is more important than searching for new ones. I think that the set of mathematicians together have done a rather good job in the 20th century of producing mathematical literature and pedagogy that laypersons and the polymaths can understand.

I skipped university when I was young due to circumstance. I still had a love for maths but couldn't pursue formal training. When I came around to programming as a career instead of odd-loner-hobby it was as you say. I was quite impressed with my ability to code circles around CS graduates who, for all their theory and training, weren't prepared for "coding in the real world."

I never stopped studying mathematics. I've recently been going through temporal logics. If only more programmers were aware of the beauty of the proof of weak fairness. And its implications in system specifications.

Where I can see formal training being useful is exposing you to subjects you were not aware of in short order. My experience has been more akin to the mansion metaphor. Where I encounter limitations or difficulties in my programming I look to maths for the right tool to simplify the task and ensure it is correct.

So I agree about "mathematical maturity." I just don't believe it is exclusively acquired in an academic setting. I think some people have an inclination or awareness that pushes them to think this way.

Research showing why hierarchy exists will aid the development of AI
Assuming you mean the sideband pins, the article says that Intel is working on a standard to let those pins be used for analog audio.

If there's no standard way to communicate that "yeah, the sideband pins are now analog audio out from the host", I don't think you can buld USB-compliant accessories that assume that.

This would mean that the adapter (and/or low-cost headphones, I guess) would still need to include a CPU that can speak USB to negotiate with the host about the sideband pins, would be my assumption. A bit like how max current (used to) work.

The average american has it a lot worse than the average French, though, after you count healthcare costs, insurance costs, etc.

'Unfortunately our current healthcare systems is extremely costly and inefficient in delivering quality care. '
- speak for the US. The rest of the world doesn't do too bad a job.

The problem with ultrasounds is that it is not the sort of device that can simply be given to someone and used. Both the operation of the device and the interpretation of the image are highly technical skills, with high false positive rates.
I maintain that making ultrasounds portable enough to be used be all would only further drive healthcare costs up, as frivolous expenditure on a gimmick is wont to do. Pretty much the same as much of the 'wearables' market.

I don't disagree that other people can have insight into the problems the health sector faces, and towards innovating within, but maintain that most tech driven solutions (ie electronic medical records) are fucking atrocious, because they have been designed by technical people who don't understand. The workflows. Unfortunately these systems are now entrenched, and cost a huge amount of end user time (a 2011 Deloitte study on the introduction of FirstNet into Australian emergency departments determined that introduction of the system lead to a 20% decline in productivity. It was implemented anyway, with the hopes that there would be synergies gained over time. No follow up study has been performed however the overwhelming consensus from the frontline troops is that when we loose network access, an event which occurs around 6 times annually for periods of up to 8 hours, productivity and workflow improve substantially)
I haven't used Jet, no. I'm not trying to call you out, just wondered why it was so large.

Some people are just bad at giving interviews. If someone is so bad at interviewing they will eliminate a candidate because they slipped up a little with a programming teaser, they're still going to be bad at interviewing if they try another technique.

I'm completely happy doing programming puzzles in interviews myself as I've worked with people that claim to be experts in something when they aren't and some people exaggerate to the point of lying on CVs. As long as you don't penalise a candidate too much for not getting perfect answers I don't see the issue.

> This person may produce a script or a basic website for a portfolio, but those 40+ hours a week spent coding at a full time job is where all of the real problems get solved.

That's it right there. That's the bit that makes the difference. It speaks to an attitude of 'I'm doing it, I don't need to prove it'. It's wrapped up in 'I'm doing it and I'm too busy to prove it because I should have a life and other people should just recognise my ability so I don't have to sacrifice my lifestyle to put the effort in to get the job I want"...but it really comes down to thinking I shouldn't have to show it because I'm doing it.

There's no can't show it inherent in your original statement. There's a large dollop of don't want but no can't.

You can find ways to prove you ability, to use work you do day to day, to make high quality personal projects or contribute to those that are already running (beauty of programming is it can be easier to collaborate like this and still show your skill).

It can be done. Plenty of people in all industries work one job and study, prepare or work towards another all whilst supporting families and trying to have a life.

Programmers aren't special snowflakes, they've got to work just as hard at selling themselves as all other people in the creative industries do. That's why I think programmers really need to grasp that they actually are creatives and adopt an attitude that deals with all the burdens that moniker brings with it.
Yup. Honestly, I find it as a nice balancing act.

The positives are often hyped up so much, not just by the company itself, but the media as well, that some negative, no matter how small, ought to counteract those with almost as much force.

Action and reaction and all that. There has to be an equilibrium.
In theory, supporting backwards-incompatible changes should be well possible with versioning (with, e.g. the <script>'s type attribute or a <meta> tag, or "use jquery14"; magic string or whatever) - everything should work as long as one can specify "I want libfoo API v2 here".

> This is what's wrong with Linux kernel development. We have pluggable subsystems like I/O scheduling or CPU scheduling where BFQ or BFS are not mainlined and have to live as external patchsets.

> I used to think that Linux kernel development is about who comes up with good, working code, but more and more I'm starting to get the impression it's that you need to have the right connections for a competing implementation to land.
