I'm guessing a lot of them stem from using session variables and from caching. I've seen everything from an nHibernate cache being stored in the session, serializing and deserializing a huge chunk of the database on every request, to developers not being aware that the session variable they get is user specific (They access it via Session[UserId]).

Caching in particular seems to be something that's applied without much analysis, I've seen it slow down implementations more often than it sped them up.

What I'd really like is for the browser to send a tab id on every request, so we can scope variable to a tab as well as user.

I think you're right, because of halo effect. I'm really not a gamer, but I've been playing Pokémon Go a lot this week - the news today reminded me about the Nintendo NX, and I'd now consider getting one, where previously I wouldn't even think about it. Pokémon Go might be bringing new customers into the market (Blue Ocean Strategy style), much like the original Wii did.

How about something more interesting like the Pokemon Go developer program or API ? Now that sounds more of a win-win.

Developers are interested, and gamers are interested in more features for Pokemon Go. Does anyone have the contemporary sales records for 3DS and Wii U?
> What you can't do is start an automated process, comforting yourself that an inattentive human can always take over in a split-second if the automation messes up.

I think that depends quite a bit on how much is automated. Traditional cruise control is an automation, and I'm sure there have been accidents that resulted from it, but generally it automates so little that you really can't become inattentive (unless you fall asleep). Variable cruise control has more automation, and I would guess the percentage of automation related accidents it played a part in compared to traditional cruise control is higher due to people trusting the system when it is misbehaving. Tesla's autopilot is much farther along this spectrum.

CoPilot? Someone who can completely take over for you when you're feeling tired. Compared to an Autopilot which requires pilot or skipper supervision I think copilot would be a far worse term if it weren't for the fact that the name doesn't really matter too much.
What exactly would you do in a Pokemon Go developer program?
The confusion between normal and alternate law on AF447 is not because the autopilot transferred control to the pilots when they weren't ready. The same thing could have happened if the transfer was made with full preparation. It was a signalling and training issue, not evidence that auto->manual transitions are bad.

Other cars require hands on the wheel at more frequent rates, as I understand it. There's no conspiracy. Everyone wants a good product out of Tesla. Sometimes that means additional pressure. 100 year old car companies have experienced plenty of pressure, and these days they anticipate the pushback. The difference between the companies is not how the press treats them, but how they handle and respond to adverse events. This article says it better [1]

> At Ford Motor Company, executives told me about all the pushback they received when they introduced features we now view as standard. People resisted and feared seat belts, airbags, automatic transmission, automatic steering, antilock brakes, automatic brakes, and trailer backup assist. Ford does extensive focus groups on new features that push boundaries, holding off on introducing ones that too many people don’t understand.

> Tesla doesn’t operate that way. When the company’s Autopilot software, which combines lane-keeping technology with traffic-aware cruise control, was ready last Fall, Tesla pushed it out to its customers overnight in a software update. Suddenly, Tesla cars could steer and drive themselves. The feature lives in a legal gray area.

1. Giving generous discounts to get people to establish the habit of Lyft-ing regularly.

2. Subsidizing the cost of rides with VC money. For example, paying the driver more than the customer is charged for a normal ride. Also, I'm not sure if it's still this way but at one point Lyft Line in SF was a flat rate ~$5 even for long distances.

Tune the discount percentages to arrive at the maximum "losable" amount.

Why do you think the accident rate is lower among luxury cars as compared to more common vehicles? I would suspect the opposite. My hypothesis is that the people who seek out and buy cars that go 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds probably drive faster and more aggressively than average. They therefore are more likely to have an accident.

For me the simplest solution is to have a second bank account I never take money from. Then every time I get my salary a certain amount gets moved to the savings account. I do not miss money I never really had.
Additionally some days before my salary all my money above a certain threshold gets also moved to the savings account, so that I have the same money every month, even when I spent less.
Also I have my I am poor level. When I have less than 1000Fr/$ I cut my spending to very basic things like food only. This protects me from depth and touching my savings.

All of this is easily possible in nearly any bank in Switzerland, I am not shure about the US or other parts of the world. Hope I could create some inspiration.

Yes we do.
Airplane autopilots do not require millisecond reaction times from the pilots during the control hand off, while Tesla 'autopilot' apparently does.
Their burn rate is probably even higher than $50MM: presumably they are making some money.

Also, remember they've raised $2B [0].

If that is the burn rate, it's 40 months ~= 3.3 years of runway with everything else constant (admittedly a bad assumption). That's a lot more runway than most startups have. I'd suspect they have multiple alternative burn rates paths to go down that are more/less conservative with burn rate, like a 5- or 10-year runway before being profitable.

I understand what you're saying, and that it is unlikely that something will happen, but Tesla still recommends full attention in this scenario. You need to be fully attentive at all times when driving, even with an assisted driving system. Tesla states this clearly in their manual. If something were to come across the road that the car were not prepared for, it may beep at you, or it may not.

This seems to be what happened to the Florida driver. He likely did not think he was abusing the system. He probably crossed that road hundreds of times before on autopilot as part of a commute. And, neither the driver nor the system pushed the brake.

If I were you and got into an accident, I know afterwards my brain would search for a reason why this happened and how I can help it not happen again both to me and to others. The solution is to not drive when tired, and to use the system as designed. An additional thing we can do is put in a few measures to check that the driver is still alert, like requiring hands on the wheel at more frequent intervals.

> 12/7/2016 UPDATE: This issue has been resolved and an updated app with less Google account access is now available in the App Store.

No worries now.

Update 1: I spoke too soon.

After checking the Google Account - Apps Permission page, it looks like mine did still have full access. Yesterday's update did not install automatically.

Installing it manually in the App Store, then restarting the app did not change the scope either.

Logging out and logging back in did ask for the lowered permissions, but did not seem to de-escalate full account access. It also does not seem possible to do this in Google's dashboard (besides revoking entirely... which I'm resisting until knowing that won't make my account inaccessible).

Update 2: Confirmed you can revoke and re-auth without loss of account data.

Hi! Fair point, unfortunately the new release has some API changes and most of the examples in the Wiki haven’t caught up yet.

I have been thinking of providing a template, but then again people have very different ideas on what they want, so it’s hard to know what the default configuration should be.
Right. When the AP detected road conditions that it couldn't handle, it should have reduced vehicle speed as much as necessary for handling them. Yes, it was dumb to trust AP at 50-60 mph on a two-lane canyon road. But it was also dumb to ship AP that can't fail gracefully.

I do admit, however, that slowing down properly can be hard. It can even be that hitting an inside post is the best option. Still, I doubt that consumer AP would have put the vehicle into such an extreme situation.

You can turn off signing checks for kernel extensions.

Zinio has released a version of their iOS app for iOS 5 outside the app store. You went to their site on your iOS device and it downloaded and installed the app. I think it was done using Enterprise certificates, but I'm not sure.

As for iOS apps, you can compile and run iOS apps on your own device without the need for a signing cert.

There are apps for iOS that allow end-users to program their own devices. For example, Pythonista:

> No force was detected on the steering wheel for over two minutes after autosteer was engaged," said Tesla, which added that it can detect even a very small amount of force, such as one hand resting on the wheel.

That would seem to me to be reason to steer the car to the shoulder and disengage the auto-pilot.

Tesla is trying to take too big a step here and blaming the driver(s) of these cars is really really bad PR.
> At that time I don't recall that Tesla made any statement about how dangerous it was to deliberately push the limit of the system to entertains viewers.

Yeah who knows. I think Musk retweeted his video. Hindsight is 20/20. Tesla can still move forward and learn from this.
I think such a value system is fine in as much as it preserves the safety of the driver.

I'd like my car to make value judgements about what's safer - braking and colliding with an object or swerving to avoid it. I'd rather it brakes and collides with a child than swerve into oncoming traffic, but I'd rather it swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid a truck that would otherwise T-bone me.

As long as the system only acts in the best interest of it's passengers, not the general public, it's fine by me.

I'm not getting in a manually-controlled plane that's flying centimeters from a hard surface. I will get in some computer-controlled planes doing the same.

(At the very least I want a real-time OS and dedicated range sensors. And the confidence of a plane owner who would lose millions of dollars if anything went wrong.)
You'd hope the system has sensor, video and audio logs and some kind of black box arrangement to at least get the maximum value in terms of information out of those crashes that do happen. If so it should be possible to get a real answer to your question.
