With regards to cars, the right to have an independent shop perform routine maintenance and repair without violating warranty does need to be preserved. As to modify, well I would think that should vacate any warranty and possibly liability as it is now beyond the manufacturers control. This will mean preventing manufacturers from creating costly interfaces to retrieve status codes from cars and their self driving systems.

The issue with modifying self driving algorithm's is that will be so complex as to be nearly impossible to modification and since they are so tightly linked to the safe operation of the vehicle I can expect we will see legislation to prevent it. However such legislation should not preclude being able to view it.

We are afraid of people taking too little time off. We're considering introducing a formal performance review point that will penalize the team member and/or manager if someone took less than two weeks of vacation (full weeks, not counting days) for not taking care of themselves. But we're not sure yet this is needed. For now the executive team tries to set the right tone by taking vacation themselves. I'm going to burning man and Hawaii this year and I don't work weekends.

I know it was a younger time back in 2006, but there is always something disingenuous about referring to the entire class of software developers being unable to do good frontend UI/UX development. It's a different discipline to be sure, but it's not a lot different to me than saying knowing statistics to be a good data software developer or any other application development. Software doesn't get written for its own sake.
The notorious (and still disputed) HFS+ bit-rot issues?
Aha! I hadn't realized they'd officially landed already. Yeah, the effects are one of those "really neat" things I was referring to :)

I've been thinking about how they could be used with a term-rewriting system for certain kinds of optimization. Some rewrite rules only apply under certain conditions that may or may not be lexically apparent in the absence of an effects system. As a simple example:

rewrite {f map} {g map} compose => {f} {g} compose map ;

This transformation will only work if `f` and `g` are pure functions: if `f` and `g` have side-effects, then the transformation is no longer equivalent. But using the effects system, we can give rewrite rules a sort of context that lets the rewrite system know the extra conditions necessary for a rule to apply.
The problem is not imaginary. How do you propose drivers are supposed to maintain their cars with such low salaries?

For now, these companies can rely on employee churn. Long term? Won't work.

Yeah, the darkness is a big part of the point. You should feel sort of dirty when you're done reading it, but still be able to see that an entity driven by greed can provide a social good.

Ideally, a good basic income program would provide a mix of incentives to maximize both social and economic good. The story challenges the reader to consider even the slimiest, scummiest greed as an incentive.

Besides non-destructive editing, decent CMYK support is still missing. But as others have said, they do seem to move in that direction. Maybe Gimp 3 will be usable for real work.
Presumably because some people have backends that don't support SSL (e.g. anything hosted on S3) and CloudFlare thought "eh, some encryption is better than nothing, and they're going to let us MITM their encrypted connection anyway so they're obviously not a bank or something really important"

Ok.. I get it that they don't want their C programmers to do that, but do they also mean that this is to "complex" for normal developers to implement in a fault-free manner?
I've been using Gimp for many years now, and it serves me well. I learnt Photoshop at university, on a Multimedia Tech course. Whilst Photoshop is a fine piece of software, it is overkill for most users. Gimp might be hard to get to grips with for long-time Photoshop users, but it isn't hard, it just takes some muscle-memory adjustment. For users who have never used either, Gimp is a great piece of software to use from the get-go.

I've also used Krita of late, and that too is a very good piece of software worth checking out if you want to do photo-editing and digital painting.

What I was hoping it would do is enable me to use a single droplet but get a fast, minimal down-time 'from scratch' deployment that retains user data.

The reason I want a single droplet is mainly cost. I use one droplet per client rather than a multitenant setup. I could use S3 and a separate hosted db but for various reasons I'd prefer not to.

There is still FUD about the licensing, decades on. And a lot of Linux vendors make Gnome the default - perhaps partly because it's less configurable and so easier to support, but partly it does seem to be this weird prejudice. I wonder whether it's a US/EU thing - most of KDE seems to be developed in the EU and the major European distros (which is only really SuSE these days now that Mandriva doesn't exist any more) seem to have it as default, whereas the American distros seem to prefer Gnome.

Isn't 14 days more than the US average. I thought it was 10 days. So she wasn't really taking less than other companies.

> with no minimum number of vacation days in place, employers are not required to compensate employees for accrued vacation days when they quit.

Hmm...how does that work for employees in other countries? In the UK full time workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday per year (so if you work 5 days a week, you get 28 days). And employers are obliged to pay unused days when the employee leaves.
Consider this: We are all go through a roughly similar socialisation process in a society, meaning many will have a similar understanding that murder is bad, what privat property is and what I can and can't do with it and what freedom is.

Then the lawmakers pass a law that clashes with something that many believed in. In this case with property rights.

In such a case people will not follow laws without thinking about it, instead they will consider carefully the tradeoffs of breaking it.

People are not robots that follow new rules mechanically, the rules must be reasonable to them.
Gimp is actually not that good for drawing. I guess that if simplicity is needed, Paint.NET (www.getpaint.net) is a good option.

I wonder if there's any proposals/extensions for moving SNI into the encrypted part of the communication. The initial certificate would have to be keyed to the IP address of the server, or maybe something from DNS, and probably there are other complications too, but it'd at least reduce the amount of plaintext information transmitted with each connection.
All of these make perfect sense, but I would have allowed tail recursion (and only that). Its properties are well-defined and boundedness can be easily proven (also it is easy to distinguish tail and non-tail recursive calls).

It is a bit premature in a way; paraphrasing here, but "a million is not cool. You know what's cool? A billion" No matter how much you optimise CPU caches and memory allocators, at some point your application won't fit in a single machine, and you'll have to go distributed. Datacenters, not mainframes :)
This 7 year old comment disturbs me: "A lot of work for questionable usefulness. Definitely very low on our priority list.".

This looks like a clear case where the people developing the product don't actually use it in real life. As a developer and ops person I would say this is very likely the highest priority thing right now because it makes their product unusable for anyone who needs to spin up a VM within their Linux based dev VM.
So here's what I don't get. If we think that torturing people may be an effective way of obtaining information, then why don't we try it under controlled conditions?

We train a dozen of our agents in the normal fashion, and give them seemingly important secrets. Send them off to a foreign country to carry out a mission. Then stage a kidnapping with people that appear to be working for an enemy (IS, whoever).

Then actually torture the agents. For real. We know what information they have, so we can see what information they'll actually give up. Then we can see which techniques are most efficient and effective. If they give up the name of the fellow operative, "capture" that operative, and show the agent the consequences.

That is science.

What? You say you have ethical concerns? How could we possibly do this to our own people?

What's the difference? We have willingly sacrificed the health and lives of tens of thousands of our own citizens already during the War on Terror. What's another couple dozen?

If the government isn't willing to torture our own people, and publish the results... then maybe the government shouldn't be torturing anyone at all.
> Does your self-driving car allow the collision and push the offending car back in order to hold your lane? Or does it avoid the collision and run you off the road?

Neiter of those. The first and foremost rule in traffic is to act predicatable. And the only predictable reaction to something blocking your way is to BREAK!

Seriously, what is it always with people that makes them think that a change in direction (swerving) was a good collision avoidcance strategy?

Newsflash, it's not! When swerving you don't change your momentum, you just redirect it (apart from friction losses, of course, the the teensy bit of angular momentum transferred to the planet). More importantly, swerving combined with braking may cause loss of control, which is where there are Anti Break-lock Systems. But ABS will increase your stopping distance, so modern ABS will kick only if the steering wheel does not point into the forward direction.

Of all the scenarios thrown at self driving cars ethics, none of them is an issue if basic traffic rules are followed. And the first and foremost one is, that you always keep so much distance in front of you, that you can come to a full stop within that distance by breaking. And the other first and foremost rule is you never drive faster than road conditions, and more important visibility allow. TL;DR: Don't speed and Don't tailgate!

Any suddenly appearing obstacle in a vehicles way poses the same problem for a human or a computer driver. The computer driver may have the shorter reaction time, but physics is physics and the best course of action remains the same: Braking!
The errata for x86 CPUs are even scarier... especially when you consider the fact that some of them aren't publicly available.

I think it is tricky. One outcome would be, like you said, a competitor showing up, offering more open goods. Another is no competitor showing up at all. People won't suddenly stop buying tractors or phones just because they're in fact being leased. They'll adapt, and in few years people will honestly say there's no demand on the market for owning products. People choose only from what's available.

> “As to waterboarding, you know, our country’s most experienced and bravest military leaders will tell you that torture is not effective. It does put our own soldiers and increasingly our own civilians at risk,” Clinton said.

Rather, she said, “We do have to give law enforcement and intelligence professionals all the tools they need to do the job to keep America safe and they don’t need to resort to torture, but they are going to need more help.”

This is not a moral or even a principled stand against torture. It's a practical and tactical stand. So no, judging from that quote, all it would take is for someone "experienced and brave" to tell her it would be effective an a tool they need, and she's on board (as far as principles and morals go, at least).

Yup, I have never seen a straight answer to this concern.

One one hand, it seriously undermines the meaning of the browser padlock.

On the other hand, this has already been happening in less visible ways - Cloudflare is definitely not the first to do this. Plenty of sites and services terminate SSL early (and plenty of public CDNs offer edge SSL). The idea of end-to-end transport security via TLS is a bit flimsy to begin with tbh.

What I find disappointing is that it encourages the "checklist security" approach. Management/dev/ops sees that this is the simplest way to get the padlock to show up, and the story ends there.

Of course there are examples of starups who keep their HQ in Denmark.

But the fact remains that most who go big aren't.

Podio is now a US company not a Danish one.

Tradeshift CEO has a kid and live in SF.

Zendesk is US.

Skype was never even Danish and was bought by US company twice.

And when Danish startups gets bought it's mostly by US companies.

Universal Robot got sold to a US company.

Even Rocket Internet mostly successful deals was selling to US companies.

The idea that they just take a few semesters is wrong and it's missing the point. Where are all the European companies who buy american startups? Where are the Danish companies who buy Danish or European startups?

There is a general lack of activity in the European startup scene. It's not that it's not possible it's just that it's very unlikely to make it.

It is still possible, it needs three things to work:

1) SNI indicators on the HTTPS handshake deliver the hostname to the DPI processor, be it on the connection Consumer => CF or CF => TPB.

2) Most likely the provider has a trusted CA... and CF => TPB connection does not support pinning.

3) Provider redirects to interceptor, which serves a "blocked" notice page, with a trusted HTTPS cert.

Alternative to 2 & 3 in case provider doesn't want to risk his CA: simply drop the connection by injecting a FIN packet once TPB is seen in the SNI headers.

> which I personally find much easier to follow.

Think that's right. I've been doing a lot of oK, J, Pyth, Forth (working on my own for Z80) for fun and I find it actually very easy to read terse code after a few months. So much that the way you (and most) prefer actually annoys me. It's so much space taken in my field of vision while with terse code I can read entire, quite full and complex programs on 1 screen without scrolling.

Don't worry; I would not say that this is a good idea for programming in teams or maintainable software. I think it is if you have a group of like minded people who prefer this. For me personally however, it makes me very productive and I use the above languages for prototyping now as I get stuff done quicker and with less bugs. I think it's very personal though.

Hooray for kitten lang by the way.

I think a human would drive over a kidnapper. Say your car is bullet proof. A man in a ski mask wielding a machine gun jumps in front of the road and orders you to stop. You refuse, he starts shooting at your car as you get near him (this is why I made your car bullet proof, to keep you alive but unequivocally demonstrate clear and present danger to you). In such a scenario, if your only escape route is over the dead body of the man in a ski mask, I bet a human will take that option.
