> Maybe some black people (i.e. the black people who don't live in the neighborhoods where these shootings go down, but spend all their time writing posts about it on Medium), should try a different approach when they've done nothing wrong and are talking to an officer: be kind and respectful and helpful.

I know a couple of very kind, respectful and helpful people who have been stop-and-frisked for being black and in public. They stopped visiting a mutual friend because it happened regularly traveling in his neighborhood.

They are treated differently for no fault of their own, despite being kind, respectful and helpful. There is a reason people are angry about the difference in treatment.

To give an example: When I traveled to visit a friend, I chose to stay at cheap hotel in a not so well to do area of town. I can carry my own and never felt unsafe. Apparently, the cops stake out that hotel regularly for drug deals and prostitution. I was stopped for an hour and interrogated because "Why would a white boy from out of state be staying at a place like this? Tell me about your history with prostitution. Are you _sure_ there are no drugs in your vehicle?" I was let go after my story checked out.

I felt targeted and no longer safe, because the cops had already painted a mental image of me as someone who dealt/used drugs or was involved with prostitutes and were looking for evidence to back up their presumption. I didn't feel safe leaving at night, because what if I was stopped and arrested for something I didn't do? "Why would a white boy be out at these hours in this neighborhood if he wasn't up to no good?" Those false charges would stick with me forever and I could lose my job.

I can only begin to imagine what it must feel like to be the target of actual racism with the implied assumption of being guilty until proven innocent.

> You do a great disservice to all the (and there are so many) black people out there who got educated, got good jobs, built families, and realized that most people honestly don't care what color they are, when you say that you're treated so poorly everywhere in the country. I'm sorry but it's nonsense. We have a black president for god's sake.

> Black people who have their shit together and got out of bad neighborhoods are not getting regularly killed by police. Come on.

You'll still encounter racism as a black person in America, even in the race blind techno-optimist meritocracy that is the technology sector. [0]

How Becoming a Pilot Made Me a Better Programmer
What's to stop someone from driving without a license under the current system? A bunch of cops looking for illegal and unsafe behavior. If you're driving without a license but in a manner that cannot be detected then you're not likely be causing harm anyway, so letting you "slip through the cracks" is no great loss to society.

If someone modifies their car's software to tailgate and pass other vehicles at speed on the shoulder they'll likely be detained, investigated, and prosecuted. If someone hacks their firmware causing their car to always travel 5mph under the speed limit to aid fuel efficiency then they might not get caught, but we have no reason to want to catch them anyway.
Here's a summary of what they built (in 36 hours) based on the demo video:

1. Pokemon-style map generation based on the
actual physical map
2. Pebble app listing nearby pokemon + pokemon
in roster
3. Battle UI + mechanics
4. Wit.AI (or similar API)-based voice commands
a. Tell your pokemon what move to use
b. Challenge another player
c. Open pokedex
d. Close pokedex
5. Myo armband throw Pokeball motion
6. Multiplayer: two players discover each
other via GPS and can battle (implemented
via Socket.IO)
7. Pokedex recording pokemon you catch
8. Leap Motion to pet your pokemon

Hackathons often have API prizes, which is why you see a lot of features that use APIs / hardware (Wit.AI, Myo, Leap Motion). What I really love is that the integrations were very natural: throwing Pokeballs, voice commands.

Uber already has changed it if you count taxi medallion prices into your equation.

And more to the point - from the story

Competition from Uber and Lyft is so fierce that New York cabbies are going out of their way to be polite, engaging in chatter with riders and being helpful with packages, luggage and giving extra care to senior citizens.

Trust me - that too is a difference.
To me the question is relatively uninteresting because it seems obvious.

As long as cars belong to individuals they have the responsibility to favor the interests of those individuals as far as law permits. Where and how much the community is to be preferred over the individual, the community should specify in laws. People running code that breaks those laws should be liable for that codes actions. (I could imagine an ethics slider settable at the owners choice within the legal limits that allows them to discount the lives of the passengers compared to the lives of others, on the condition that they notify their other passengers).

It's possible that ultimately the right choice is to move to a different model, but in that case, the AI should not be owned by the individual who bought the car and has a reasonable expectation that it work on their behalf.

The ethical decision on the car is no different than the ethical decision that we ask the human driver to make in similar situations (which as the gp noted are incredibly rare), or that we trust the human driver to make when we are passengers in their car. In fact I even doubt that it makes sense to legislate it, since we haven't so far for e.g. uber drivers, but perhaps testing will indicate that we should.

In terms of the speed limits, society has already decided to accept a huge number of deaths per year that would almost all be preventable with a speed limit of 35mph, so I don't see how the introduction of AI drivers affects this question.

I would like to see laws that say that all source code for self driving cars must be publicly auditable and pass tests before being approved for road use. Running code that has not been safety tested by the state will leave you uninsurable and personally liable for its actions. We should aim to make running the test suite as accessible as possible in order to allow innovation, but it should still give us a high confidence that the driver behaves correctly according to the law.

I take pretty much all of this from analogy with human drivers: when we're driven by someone else, we have relatively little control over their ethical slider setting, we have high speed limits for humans because we think the convenience of the many is more important than the lives of the few, we don't let brand new humans drive without having some indication that they'll make the right decisions. None of these problems seem to be particularly changed by the introduction of AI.
Assuming WhatsApp uses ZRTP, it's possible to detect and block encrypted calls no matter what port is used because the ZRTP advertisement can be seen in the RTP packet.

In order to know when ZRTP will fail WhatsApp would need to maintain lists of address space where ISPs drop such packets. It would have to be done on the client side, but then clients can't easily discover their public address because NAT. The signaling server that sets up the call could check easily, but if the server decided when not to use encryption that would be a backdoor.

It's easier to just do it by country code, despite the drawbacks.

Maybe at some % of occupancy an AirBnB stops being spare space and becomes more hotel-like and needs to start collecting the same types of taxes, providing insurance, etc.
Better to have many narrow channels that update infrequently than a few firehose channels that are impossible to keep up with. Of those channels, there are usually only a couple that an engineer really needs to follow on any given day, so it's easier to go heads-down. In the firehose channels things get missed unless people are very good about using @ mentions for the correct people, which most aren't.

Also, if so many people are "doing it wrong", isn't that a sign that something is lacking in the UX?

People use email poorly, too. You have to make your communication work for your organization.

My point was that this is one way to detect the IP where the client connects to for calls as call signalling, call media transfer and chat messaging all connect to different IP's.

Once you have that you can block media transfer, or if the clients use peer to peer media transfer at least block the call signalling.

After this it is only a matter of keeping the list of IP's updated which you could easily do by ongoing logging of bandwidth used.

Bandwidth usage pops up in your logs that somehow resembles the profile of a call - investigate by doing a simple test and then block the IP.
Nope, at least not with a clojure noob at the wheel.

What an asinine attempt at censorship with a complete lack of understanding of social dynamics.

If anything, the evidence that the business model of bridging elitist to non-elitist doesn't work is that weave.in is shutting down.

Hacks are not required to be sophisticated to be effective and people will find them. Maybe for example if you place a 1/4 inch of extra plastic in front of the front facing radar it'll make the car follow more aggressively then it's calibrated for, who knows! that's a made up example but I expect this stuff is going to happen as it already does.

Eh, I would still call them unsuspecting, but in another sense. Yes, they are the ones who bought the car and yes, they are the ones who enabled the autopilot feature, and yes, they are the ones who used it in a scenario when it wasn't appropriate.

But they are unsuspecting in that they spent $60k on a car, $2500 to install the autopilot feature, and another $3000 to just enable the autopilot feature. And what they get from that, is something that can keep a lane, but with a laundry list of caveats: It doesn't work if the road is too curvy, or if the lane markers are too faded, or in the snow or rain or dust, or if it's too sunny out, or if the obstacle is too high (but low enough that it will still decapitate you), or ... or ... or .......

So I would say, that Tesla is still testing this feature, and customers really aren't aware that they're spending ~$5500 for something they don't realize (and are not told) is deficient on multiple fronts.
Is it, though? Do you just blanket ban AirBNB rentals in the area? Define that. Do you really mean short term rentals? Web-listed short term rentals? What's short term?

Then, consider who you're impacting - this is local so they're your constituents, after all.

Enforcement is a whole other matter.

Try this: Define your objective, then draft the statute.

EDIT: I'll add, I own exactly one home and have never rented it out by any means. I don't have a stake in this fight, but I am interested in the legal aspects.
"And it's really easy for AirBnB to know exactly who rented the property for a given period, so if they do anything illegal (which includes noise violations), they'd be easy to track down with a warrant."

You say that, but there are currently many, many cities trying to get Airbnb to deal with their illegal apartments, and yet Airbnb is stalling on that (presumably because if you shut down their illegal apartments, their valuation would implode).

To your point, "affecting your neighbors" is a pretty tough thing to track down. Even if things seem to be going well, there's a difference between having stable neighbors who take care of the neighborhood and an unknown rolling of the dice every few days. If you have kids, it's an even bigger risk. It's very difficult to accurately judge just how much of an impact it has, which is why cities have set up zoning regulations.
That does not warn about using `head`. It wouldn't even warn about an attempt to define `head`, so long as you do so with a call to `undefined` or `error` (which is effectively what's done in the base libraries).
There are lots of $400/night hotel rooms in NYC, but there are a fair number of $150/night rooms as well. Maybe that's not their published rate, but you can find them on Kayak or similar. Admittedly, $150/night isn't cheap, but it is NYC and you're going to have a better time than you will in certain remote locales where the only hotel suitable for occupancy is $100/night. (In such locations, find a campground, especially for a family trip.)

Actually, the minimal neural network that always outputs that string would basically have a weight vector equivalent to the ASCII coding of the string, so it would be equally easy to reason about compared to the Python equivalent.

Eh, sometimes state isn't relevant outside of a component, so while you could put it in a store, it's possibly better to put it in the component. Single responsibility.
I'd be curious to see what % of Airbnb rentals are 100% occupied by the guests. I suspect that it's a majority of them, but I don't have any data to back that up with.
> I'm asking if the free Player version is going to get continued to be updated so it supports modern Linux guests

Your original question (and my response) seemed to ask specifically about Unity with regards to Linux. As for more general support of new/future Linux versions my assumption would be that will continue (but that's just my guess as a random engineer in a completely unrelated business unit, you may want to reach out to the Workstation team via Twitter/Facebook/forum for an informed and official answer).

According to Wikipedia, ZRTP use a specific encryption protocol (SRTP). Surely that means that calls made using Signal can't be using ZRTP.

Carla Hayden Confirmed as 14th Librarian of Congress
I've been self-employed for about a decade. Prior to ACA I had catastrophic insurance with IIRC about a $10k deductible for 25% of the ACA cost. But I was a healthy, non smoking male in my mid 20s (back then) with no pre-existing conditions. If you had pre-existing conditions then it doesn't surprise me that your ACA rates were the same or lower, which illustrates what ACA really is: a subsidy (tax) helping out the (mostly) old and (mostly) chronically ill paid for by the (mostly) young and (mostly) healthy. I prefer not to think of it as red-versus-blue partisanship and instead in objective economic terms. Personally I have no problem subsidizing people who are born with chronic illnesses, or fall on hard times; I have a few cancer survivors in my immediate family and I've seen the impact it can have. But I don't think that we should be subsidizing people who have diseases borne of negligence (adult onset diabetes and other obesity related diseases) who refuse to do anything to help themselves and as a result consume extreme amounts of health care resources. It's becoming clear that for the time being at least demand far exceeds supply in the health care services market, and that means having to decide how and when to ration care. I can afford to pay inflated ACA rates and I can afford to pay for private concierge-style care in the face of a supply-demand imbalance in the market. But what about the middle class family making $50k/year who is now spending 20% of their net take home income on health care? Unfortunately there aren't many easy answers in this debate and it's especially difficult to even start the discussion given how polarized it has become.

"The German state" is a construct in form of a organization. The people who decide are forming the structure of this organization. The concrete people who are deciding who is punished are judges. As I already stated in this discussion, we employ "Gewaltenteilung" to separate judiciary, execute and legislative. So "the state" is not able to punish anybody, it is people who punish. And they do by the rules that are set for the judiciary, which are made by the legislative and carried out by the executive. The executive has a different set of rules than the legislative and they have a different set then the judiciary. These different sets of rules are each a corrective for potential abuse of power. There is no "state" punishing anybody, it is a set of rules made by people, carried out by people, watched by people. For somebody who broadcasts that free speech is the Holy grail you act like you don't tolerate no opinion besides your own. You're basically a fanatic and revealed your own colors.

It depends what you mean by "access". The MVP won't have direct DOM access, but it's not really necessary. WebAssembly code can synchronously and efficiently call JavaScript functions (with numeric arguments), so it should be pretty easy to write a WebIDL-based stub generator to provide natural syntax for calling DOM functions from any given compiled language, with a little JavaScript stub on the other end. A future spec might make things more efficient by providing direct access, but it's really a micro-optimization.

> I think the ethical question is greatly overblown.

Agreed. At least at the level these cars are likely to enter the market, the whole concept of what the car "knows" isn't likely to extend to "other people", "my passengers", "inanimate objects" and a probability matrix of injury/death/damage among these categories. Instead of this heavily anthropomorphized view, cars are much more likely to have a highly simplified, "bug-like" level of information to work from.

This isn't harping on a "technology is neutral" vibe, which I view as obviously false. Just that many of the high-minded philosophical models presented to date don't appear to map well to a likely actual embodiment of "ethical" decisions that may get embedded into vehicular software. If the model is a bad fit for the real-world problem(s) encountered, it's simply not going to be very useful for informing solutions to that problem.
Let me guess, it's CA only.
As someone else said, you want some vetting to avoid obvious scams. But, in terms of picking the 'best' 5 out of 10 when it's going to take a lot of effort.

Alternatively, a common approach when getting a lot of applications is to simply randomly look at half and ignore the other half unless you can't find enough good options.

So, in the real world you would be able to talk up various points. However, I don't think you can convince a politician to use your random methods unless he can sneak a few choices in.

Another enthusiastic thumbs-up for A Geometry of Music. I wouldn't take all his conclusions as far as he does, but it's all very thought-provoking and he's obviously a really sharp guy.

This would work for a call in-progress. The gist explicitly claims the calls are blocked during the handshake, which would be before there's enough data to analyze. It appears from other comments that what's really going on is calls simply use a different port and that port is blocked.
