It's hard to contort the First Amendment in such a way not to protect this.

I agree that this is one of the core rights of information age society.

There is no doubt that we are better off with autopilot than without (true in planes and will soon be true in cars). The point of this ongoing research in human factors is to create systems where the pilot/driver work in tandem with the autopilot so that when the autopilot needs to hand control back to a human, the human is capable of receiving back control.
If you serve alcohol to a person and they're intoxicated enough to be a danger on the road, you can be held liable for failing to stop them from operating a vehicle if they harm themselves or others. It is your responsibility to cut them off and find them alternate transportation. It is also the fault of the intoxicated driver, but fault doesn't end there.

Similarly, if you provide and advertise an Autopilot feature that isn't autopilot, it is your responsibility to ensure the driver is attentive, has their hands on the wheel and that you pushed a not-broken implementation to them. Other manufacturers have done this, yet Tesla hasn't.
It's non-trivial if you include the added depth that affects the whole phone.
Yep, it looks like I did! But I have heard this sentiment before, especially in regards to gun control and gun saftey.
I'm asking why they are allowed, as in, why does it makes sense that they are allowed.

"But must the standard for safety be higher than existing human drivers?"

Well, being a different sort of entity, an auto-pilot will never be the same as a human driver. So "as good as" has to essentially imply "better than".

"What are the on-the-road stats for automatic driving? Aren't they better than human drivers already?"

Apparently not as enoch_r points out.

Further, there's miles-driven and quality of miles. Suppose, just suppose, the average driver starts out barely trusting Tesla and using auto-pilot on short runs in clearly safe conditions and this same average driver over-time trusts Tesla more and more until they reach the point that they trust in situations they shouldn't - and then you get a series of accidents.

That entire article only speaks to investment of the on-demand industry, and its "potential". Citing "uberfication" of services and a "rise of 1099 contractors" means nothing for who will actually pay for the services.
> The difference is that to be an atheist you must be willing to accept "I don't know" as an answer.

No, you don't.

To be a strict empiricist, you have to be willing to accept "I don't know" as an answer, and there's other approaches to knowledge which also require that, but, while empiricism (and some of the others) may overlap with atheism, there is no requirement of willingness to accept uncertainty attached to atheism (agnosticism, which by the conventional definition of "atheism" usually used now, is a subset of atheism, certainly requires a willingness to accept "I don't know" on at least one point.)
You seem to be implying that audio production is a component of music theory. This is something I had never considered. Normally I would not be thinking of audio production when I talk about music theory, but I certainly am not dogmatic about that. Things like timbre and dynamics are (I believe) usually considered part of music theory, so I suppose one could include all aspects of audio production as well.

Around 32,000 people die in the USA each year in traffic accidents, so yes, I didn't expect Autopilot to magically reduce that to zero.

The Google tech that is driven by professional drivers who take over when required, hasn't killed anyone yet. Do you honestly think there will be zero deaths in a Google vehicle when it's released to the public?

> Again, in any sane world nobody would pay any attention to the opinions of completely unqualified individuals on any given topic. There's a reason I write for Road & Track and not Men's Health, for example, and it has something to do with the fact that I've literally had more racing wins in my life than I've eaten salads. If I started pontificating about whether a particular protein supplement built more muscle mass and got you more ripped than another one, the readers would be entirely right to point out that I am not a doctor and that I have never been seen to bench press more than 255 pounds, not even once.

Reminds me of the Tragedy of Theranos. A company valued at $9 billion, staffed to the gills with engineers and medical experts who were building a revolutionary disruptive way to draw and test blood, was taken down based on the accusations of a newspaper reporter who has never run his own startup, nevermind having not attained enough medical expertise to even competently check someone's temperature.

I'm being a little facetious here. There's a difference between a cable news reporter blabbing about something that happened 7 minutes ago to fill an hour of airtime with controversy and fear, and a 5-month investigation by a Pulitzer-winning reporter. But let's not shit on the laypersons who dare to challenge the clergy.

But in one aspect I agree with the OP. People who aren't experts and who don't bother to check with other experts should perhaps be mindful before they propagate uninformed armchair analysis. But let's make that cut both ways. These uninformed reporters should also hold their tongues when a company touts any technical feature. Maybe that would reduce the incentive for the Elon Musks of the world to name things in viral-headline-friendly ways, e.g. "Autopilot" for advanced driver assist. Tesla has benefited heavily from the press corps ignorance about technology -- you think Tesla has received $4 billion in government subsidies based on technical merit alone? And now they're paying for it. Maybe 10 years from now we'll all agree that that was a good strategic gamble. But it doesn't mean Tesla should be given kid glove treatment today, after the effort they've put in to manipulate the press to their own benefit.
Why don't you guys just run the most modern stable Kernel as opposed to 3.X?

You say: While Linux 4.x has a patch to send SYN cookies under a per-CPU-core socket lock, which does fix the problem, we wanted a solution that allowed us to use an existing, maintained kernel with upstream security patches. We didn’t want to roll and maintain an entire custom kernel and all related future security patches just to mitigate this form of attack. Patching Linux 3.x to backport the socket lock change was also a similar maintenance burden we wanted to avoid.

But, if this is the case, what's wrong with using Linux's LTS kernel, or the stable current kernel? The kernel.org team does a great job maintaining these. Which upstream vendor are you relying on?

Depending on your workload, and your kernel version, there are some fairly large performance improvements. These performance improvements in my testing primarily land in networking and I/O -- effecting many applications.

I think your work is awesome. I just think backporting, and not installing linux-image-generic might be a lot work for not much benefit. I'd love to hear your reasoning that leads you to believe that's a better option for security or stability compared to using the trusty kernel.

Also, typo: `causese all` -> `causes all`.

There probably should have been some more options on the paper, seeing as how people voted Leave for many disparate reasons and with many disparate ideas (or no idea at all) of what to do instead, and there is no way to keep all of them happy.

In fact there may be no way to keep any of them happy, since apparently many of them voted Leave for impossible/EU-unrelated reasons: to keep non-EU immigration down; to spend money we won't even have on the NHS; because they don't like what the UK government has been doing and will keep doing outside the EU with even greater impunity, etc.

"Pathetic" 1. Arousing sadness, compassion, or sympathy, esp. through vulnerability or sadness; pitiable.

Seems fair enough. "Name-calling"?

"Rich people": I work for a university as support staff. I earn under the median UK wage and surely well under the median HN wage. We've had deeper and deeper cuts year on year for the past several years and post-Brexit an even bigger chunk of our budget looks like disappearing along with our best academics and researchers, not to mention other support staff, foreign language teachers/cataloguers/negotiators, etc. Education and research careers have been a route into the middle class for many and it's a shame to see that threatened - even more of a shame when the people who voted for it, the press, politicians have hardly even acknowledged it's a problem.

But have fun assuming that only rich people are interested in science or can get any benefit from cooperating with colleagues elsewhere in Europe...

Th key word is "implying". Of course they say "keep your hands on the wheel" in the instruction manual.
Exactly - saying it is profitable in the US, minus interest and stock, is another way of saying it is not profitable just cash flow neutral in some markets. Like Groupon it is a business for sure, and probably a big one. But it may be overvalued. And there is this assumption that when self driving cars come they will not be disrupted. But why not?

"Where I'm from the soldiers will take you to the bush and execute you. That's how they brought peace to my country. The military kidnapped all the criminals and drug dealers and killed them"

So, an armed faction took out another factions or group of factions out of the picture in the most simple and grotesque way, by kidnapping (instead of public apprehension) and summary execution (instead of prosecution with a trial that gives the culprits the chance to defend themselves). This armed faction has been called "the military"? And the murderous cleansing - "peace"? And after all this someone actually seriously considers them and their deeds as an example worth following? I find this kind of thinking comparable to any of the doctrines promoting mass murdering in the name of solving something and the individuals advocating such methods to be a danger to the general public!

From what I've researched, it has little to do with the end of the world and more about the failure to suppress questioning the world.

For example, I'm going to give you a list of last names: Bernanke, Greenspan, Yellen, Madoff, Goldman, Icahn, Eisner, Weinstein, Zuckerberg, Ginsburg, Adelson, Bloomberg, Strauss-Kahn, Axelrod, Brin, Ellison, Friedman

My question to you is, Do you believe you can shame and attack people forever without retaliation for seeing patterns in that list of last names and why do you think that is the only way to go about it?

And another question, just to get the brain juice bubbling: Do you think the massive expansion of credit after 1974 and the subsequent tech bubbles it made possible did anything to help the "fly-over" states or the "ghettos" of America?
It is entirely petty, and I will demonize those who are so caught up in what others are making to the point where they'd rather quit than work for a company where everyone is being paid well.

Curious side question.

Does anyone know what (if anything) generally happens to employee stock options in the event of these large funding rounds. Most options schemes are effectively designed around the idea of "liquidity event" which used to mean IPO in successful cases.

These days when we see large investment rounds and acquisitions replacing a lot of what IPOs used to do, where does that leave options holders? I suppose this question also applies to early investors and founders too.

The difference is that all human written systems was once understood by a human. ANN on the other hand creates unlabeled spaghetti which gets impossible to reason about if you scale that up to megabytes. You could try to fix a bug by changing one of the values, but that would ruin the ANN since all the values were chosen to be optimal. Thus the only way to make it better would be to change lots of unlabeled values at the same time and that is something no human can do. The only plausible way to fix a bug in an ANN is to incorporate said bug in the training set.
"That's not what happened here. No "10x developer" was hired. It was literally just a huge pay raise for the newest employees, and shafting the ones that had been there for years."

No, it wasn't. There was no "shafting" involved. Phrasing it that way shows that you're just as petty and jealous as those others. Someone else getting paid well does not take away from your worth.

"It turned from a merit-based system"

Payroll has almost never been a merit-based system, so any arguments about that are deeply flawed.
That's a good question. Possible answers are that Hungarian market may not have turned out profitable enough for Uber to fight for it, and/or maybe authorities in Hungary are swifter than in Norway - similar to how Poland is still struggling with Uber while Germany managed to quickly ban the illegal parts.
> if it falls under fair use

i'm under the impression that "fair use" is a defense and/or judge's assessment, rather than something "civilians" can factually declare.
"We’re a small company, and our IT department consists of one individual. He often works on high pressure, involved projects that affect the entire company. However, there’s no one on call for day-to-day issues like common printer problems or computer freeze-ups. He usually works with his door closed or is frequently off site, so contacting him is not always easy or direct. "

and

"He is also curt and dismissive, especially with junior staff—mostly part-timers, moms with kids—who don’t have a lot of experience troubleshooting computer problems."

This is HN, so I may be stating the obvious - but if IT is under-staffed, this guy has work that needs his direct, uninterrupted attention - and people wonder why he might be a jerk or dismissive ?

People tend to forget or not know how IT works. If your a manager, you might have x employees reporting to you. So you are directly responsible for those employees and whoever you report to.

Sales? Same - you need to report to your boss and the customer. Customer Service? The customer and your boss.

But IT generally needs to report to the entire division or company. One of my last jobs, there were 2 of us in IT and the company was 500 employees. And we had our own uninterrupted work we needed to get done. And we did help desk, were off site, etc... And we had to account for any 1 of the 500 employees at any given moment needing support or a server going down or code to be written or a security camera going out, or pulling a backup cause someone clicked "delete" by accident, or etc...

I'm not saying it's acceptable to be a jerk or whatever term people what to use. I'm saying, while (random employee) might be responsible for say 10 people, IT is generally responsible for entire organizations. Slack, is to be cut, sometimes.
> Doesn't this mean, full stop, that good developers should not even consider working for such start-ups? You know from day one that your contribution is not valued, and that if you are hired it's because management viewed you as a bargain basement sort of developer who could get the (easy, insignificant) tech job done and no more.

Yes, absolutely, good developers probably shouldn't bother working for a typical consumer app or SaaS tool. If your skills are technical then you want to be working on something where the technical part is the hard part.

> Also, what of acqui-hires? I've seen and been part of some big corporate acquisitions in which a company buys a start-up that is not doing good work and has a stupid product, solely to get their 10-person engineering team and then drop the other employees. In which case that start-up succeeding mostly by not giving a shit about any actual business problem and just hiring a group of excellent engineers.

Depends how successful they were. Often such an outcome is a loser for the VC.
