> statistically autopilot is safer than human

This is not born out by the currently available facts.

Tesla quoted deaths-per-autopilot-mile versus overall deaths-per-mile for all cars on the road. This is very misleading information, for a number of reasons.

1. Teslas are high-end luxury cars and thus have better safety features than the lower end of the market.

2. Teslas are likely to be newer and better maintained than the average car on the road. The average age of a car on the road is 11.4 years (https://www.google.com/search?q=average+age+of+cars+on+the+r...) - there are ZERO Tesla cars that old.

3. Autopilot is disabled on residential streets and those with no center divider (http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/tesla-autopilot-videos-restri...), which means it's driving in more predictable situations than average. You're also unlikely to have it on when there are things like icy/snowy conditions.

4. Autopilot will hand over control when it can't handle something. If it does this suddenly, the subsequent crash may not count in Musk's "autopilot miles" statistic.
Can you link to any paper were I can see that the temperature rising is not related to CO2 but to water?

If not, can you link to any paper with an alternative theory to the temperature growing that is not related to greenhouse gases?

Thanks

Because you're not denying that temperatures are rising, isn't?

Is that legal? I don't have any sympathy for the guy, but Ive never heard of police doing this. It's certainly a creative way of resolving the conflict.
I'm exactly the same way - every language/platform I've explored has been frankly a waste of time sadly. In the meantime, Java instead has learned to scale down beautiful as well. Working in the node ecosystem lately has made me appreciate many times more, it's incredible how unproductive it is.

I still find it the gold standard of language/platform combos.
We are members of two private gardens in Edinburgh - which are fairly large and have loads of trees. The costs of these are £80 and £250 a year - so I don't think there is anything inherent about trees being expensive to maintain if the costs are split among enough people (and these are only split between people who live on 3 streets).
Feature phone is actually oldspeak. It's what we called cell phones with features back when most cell phones didn't have features. Then smartphones came along and reset the expectations for what features a phone has, leaving feature phones in the dust. But there was a time where feature phone meant something positive.

The source code is fully available, so we are/have "bootstrapped from source", it's just much more convenient to not do it yourself.

We don't have any more significant plans to change things in the near future.
> no place for morality in any modern legal framework

There's definitely a place for morality, but perhaps a better way to put it is that there should be no place for any non-utilitarian morality in any legal framework.

While the study doesn't seem to have taken into account the houses' values, it has taken into account income (as the article states) and area income (the article doesn't state this). I do not know if that's enough to correct for housing costs. But I do assume that accounting for area income should go a long way to counter your example regarding affording houses. That said, of course correlation isn't causation.

Larry Elder frames it nicely in conservative terms:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piwaBO6U43U

The implication is that liberals are engaging in soft bigotry of low expectations. That they are pandering to black voters for power.

Another implication is that all the things that liberals are promising to the minorities that should be helping black people, such as welfare and affirmative action, end up causing more harm in the long run.

Of course, I expect you to ask why? I would say one part lust for power, one part good intentions that pave road to hell and one part good old fashioned ignorance.

And if you ask about motive? Just a power grab. In contemporary culture diversity is much relished. But not all of it, diversity of opinion is being shunned and anybody daring to show doubt is ostracized. If you take a long hard look - pretty much all the power structures on the west are very, very liberal/progressive (entertainment, media, school system, government and indeed politics).

Since the consensus is that expanding government outreach and bringing more and more functions of society is a good thing and since the results are really not there - the liberals would either have to face their folly or instead keep doubling down.

And since doubling down makes things worse - the liberals are becoming increasingly authoritarian, thus the vicious cycle is feeding itself.

p.s.: In case you were asking what the motive of BLM is? I don't think they have one. Just as any other flavor of identity politics they are engaging in an us vs them discourse, which inevitably will cause them to turn on themselves. But liberals are going to squeeze as much out of them as possible.

> Let them know what it is like to constantly be under attack

Actually that's what's causing most killings by police. Police feeling like they are constantly under attack and that their lives are in danger every second of the day and that they have to protect their lives with the guns they were given.
Well... If you have to chose between sending in your troops/colleagues or a robot, what would you pick?
In large defense contracting firms it works like this:

A high-level executive gets caught bribing government officials (cash, jobs for relatives, etc.) in exchange for favorable treatment/contracts.

Company gets sanctioned, and ALL employees get to have regular ethics and conflict-of-interest training. Because obviously the rank-and-file employees are part of the problem. And I wouldn't be surprised if the executives don't actually receive/attend the training.
Legal? vs say shooting him? Why would it be different?
Interesting. I love walking among the southern live oaks around where I live. They're just amazing trees. There was one that got hit by lightening a couple weeks back and split down the middle. I actually felt empathy for it. These trees are usually hundreds of years old.
God I hope that's not legal. It seems like if it's not a hostage situation, you wait it out. The police department effectively decided to summarily execute the perpetrator, which is a bit Judge Dred, if we're being honest here.

Not having been in the situation means I'm armchair quarterbacking the situation, but I hope there is a least some legal guidelines one when this is okay coming out of this.
This is worse than useless as it doesn't encrypt browser initiated messages and doesn't work cross device. It's yet another attempt to force FB users to switch to the very shady FB Messenger app. I'm still not touching it with a ten foot pole.

No, the GC is a net win from the perspective of code development. The JIT is just one of the things that makes Java not as slow as you'd expect.

As I said, the JVM is an acceptable platform for the slower HFT. That's the kind where a clever predictive strategy matters (maybe with lead time of seconds) and you'll get more money from accurately predicting the future than from shaving off 250us.

Make no mistake - you'll still make money shaving off 250us, but not so much that you want to be bogged down structuring your code the C++ "if we structure it right we won't leak things" way.
Many laws are based on morality:

Morality: principles concerning the distinction between
right and wrong or good and bad behavior.

Let's say that violence is considered inherently wrong, that's morality. But it's an easily justified stance that allows us to legislate against murder, rape, theft, assault, and other crimes.

But non-violent crimes, then, or those that don't violate property or privacy? Who says you have a right to either of those? On what basis do they justify that position?

Morality and ethics are the very basis of legal frameworks. The question is, what do we consider moral/ethical and what is worth criminal/civil punishment versus social ostracization.
Wow. This feels incredibly wrong. I know it is just an extension of the militarization of American police, but should they be allowed to issue a death sentence like that? I argue no. Expend the time and resources to non-lethally incarcerate him.

I don't think shooting him would have been legal either. You only get to shoot a suspect when there's an imminent threat, and it sounds like there wasn't one. (If there was, they wouldn't have had time to send in the robot.)
Mostly a problem of how people use OOP.

I don't think there is a problem with the Java Language or the JVM.
You're completely missing the point. The point isn't which is more life shattering (no one is arguing that), the point is that our laws should protect against coercion against one's body. Forced labor and rape are differing levels of infringement on ones body. However, sex and labor are still products of one's body and the individual has the right to do with their body as they wish.
Because if you serve the library responsible for the encryption from the server, an attacker can perform a man in the middle attack and change that library. This will change when browsers will start implementing the web crypto api. https://www.w3.org/TR/WebCryptoAPI/
Well, the keywords there are next to. Like @remy_ implied, you need a mechanism for guaranteeing that the logic you're executing in-browser is protected from server compromise. That's where the Cyph example came in, since as far as I can tell, Cyph is the team to have hacked together a solution to that dilemma, though Cyph also is not using the Signal Protocol right now.

Anyway, there's an upcoming defcon talk which'll lightly touch on how web standards were mangled and viciously abused to make that happen, but since the talk is deliberately not vendor-specific, the focus on it will be brief. Disclaimer on my end is that I was involved in the initial review of their code-signing implementation. https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-24/dc-24-speakers.html#Za...
Well, US law has a legal definition, but I think people used the term before congress decided to make that up.

The study accounted for both income and area income. So while there may be a confounding factor, I assume wealth is out of the picture. It doesn't seem to have accounted for population density however.
I want to offer a different perspective. This article is more itsightful than the comments tere suggest.

I have had multiple friends seriously consider this line of work, and some undertake it. No one talks about it. It's very secretive, and somewhat dangerous. It's not talked about with girlfriends at bars. It's not told to mom and dad, but it is all around you.

I once had one of these friends approach mose to ask if she could invest in my startup in cash because she had garbage bags of cash that she could no longer legally deposit in her bank. That cash put her through college.

Many of their clients do have significant others, and many of those significant others know what's going on. It's just "fun on the side". When this article says "tech guys" it doesn't mean senior developers; it means twenty-something VPs and CTOs.
How can I verify my device is indeed running the signal protocol? Messenger is a proprietary app.
For one, threat level. A cop shooting the suspect has at least the argument of supposed self-defense from imminent harm. They sought him out from a safe place with the sole purpose of his destruction.
A new website I understand. If one wants a radically different model of community participation than what the standard haskell site presents, by far the best and easiest thing for everybody is to just do it, and see what happens. The original can conservatively hang around, the new one can be trialed, if the new one is successful perhaps the original adapts or is even replaced. (IIRC, the maintainers of haskell.org have stated they don't have a lot of time to advance the backend and make significant changes.) That all makes sense to me.

It's the rest of the fragmentation that doesn't.
If you simply want to serve a web ui, Play and Spring Boot are good. Play is a bit more self-contained. It provides a lot but doing something a bit out of the ordinary can be challenging. Spring Boot is more agnostic in that respect but relies (obviously) on Spring for dependency handling.

As well as those 2, Dropwizard is excellent if you're writing REST apis and provides many enterprise-friendly features out of the box.

SparkJava (don't confuse with Apache Spark) is a very lightweight Sinatra/Flask-like framework using Java 8 features, and good for REST apis too.

2 more to consider IMHO: Vert.x, and Comsat from Parallel Universe. Parallel Universe have one of the most interesting technologies in Java-land IMO. They provide a library called Quasar that adds suspendable green threads (similar to Erlang processes) to your code using bytecode instrumentation. This allows a single server to handled a huge number (think 00,000s) of concurrent connections. Vert.x has support for Quasar too.

I'm sure others have favourites too.

what you're thinking is ethic
It is opt in because there is a huge base of users who use Messenger via the web, and trying to do E2E in that environment is a fool's errand. If you had ever tried to deliver a crypto improvement to an actual shipping product I am sure you would know what sort of limitations one needs to operate within, but please feel free to continue risking other people's lives for the sake of feeling smug in your ignorant dismissal of this effort.

> Now of course Americans pay a high cost for the 2nd amendment and that shouldn't be discounted. But it is a last ditch deterrent against an abusive government.

I still think this is a fallacy. Most people are willing sheep in a system where they can be controlled and manipulated. It will never come to the last ditch deterrent.

A great example was the Nazi propaganda machine. During the Nuremberg Trials, Gustave Gilbert the American psychologist, talked to many high ranking Nazi's including Hermann Göring. In his Nuremberg Diaries, he outlines a conversation with Göring, that shows just how any population can be propelled to accept almost anything as long as they perceive that their own freedom and well-being is under threat.

Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.

Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

This last comment is so apt to the world we live in today. The war against terrorism. The militarisation of our police forces.

If you take this further, the 2nd Amendment, regardless of the actual threat of an abusive government, can easily be neutralised by effective propaganda.

Joseph Goebbels said much the same:

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

He also said this about the press:

"Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play."

The Nazis enabled an entire nation, with but a handful of dissenters, to go to war with the rest of Europe. At the time the German public believed that they were doing the right thing to protect their own sovereignty, however warped those reasons might seem today.

The thought that the American public could ever be persuaded to rise up against their own government, with the vast array of tools that they (the government) currently wield, is a false hope (in my opinion).

The study controls for income & area income, so that calming effect should already be accounted for.
That's an excellent point, that in order to bring in a robot they more or less pre-meditated executing him in the field and likely means the suspect had not moved to escalate the situation. You don't prep the bomb and then only set it off once the perp has made his choice to hurt someone else.
Sorry but it's you who is missing the point here. Nobody's arguing about whether we should be able to be forced to do anything. Everybody agrees that we should not.

The point is that there's a difference between regular labor and sex.
You didn't mention wires. And I think it's worth considering. Most probably your sensor is going to be connected to power plug (if it goes detached). So why not to situate mini-server (RPi-alike) nearby, with a sensor connected by wire?
Ah, sorry, I always forget about that. I haven't heard of any. But we are purely free software, so...
From what I understand this is a provision where companies and services who use encryption in Russia are required to provide the keys to unencrypt the data to the Russian government or else face fines and other penalties. This seems like a very vague and far-reaching provision. I would imagine this would heavily interfere with 99% of respectable companies who use HTTPS nowadays. And what about all of the storage and messaging services which encrypt data? Would they have to make special provisions for their Russian customers so that the Russian government could have access to the data of those users, while not being able to interfere with the rest of their customer base and data?
