It's actually to "serve and protect" not "catch criminals." If that's one of the ways they serve the community, fine. But it's a far cry from where we are today. I don't feel served or protected by police at all - and I'm white.

Anecdotally I'm sure there's plenty of examples out there, but in my personal experience, interactions with police are tense, adversarial, and scary, and that's if you haven't done anything illegal. Police should be jovial and friendly with the public they are supposed to protect. I see no evidence of that where I live.

"then I realized normal people aren't just waiting with stow away guns waiting for the day they can go on a killing frenzy"

No, it seems that unknowingly, the "normal people" were waiting for the people with guns, and all of them together were waiting the right time, which is now!

Who gives you the figures? As I understand, the president's opposing figures, including journalists, were targets for some time already! ...for being drug dealers or addicts, allegedly. It's safe to assume that the ones that left to live have to really impress the president with their reporting.
One the most important reasons people prefer AAA games is that you can get some semblance of a community.

It's almost impossible to even get your friends to try playing a game they've never heard of (that another 100 people play, at most), so the community for the game is DOA.
Hence none of the things you can get from bigger games, like guides, support, community, clans, competition, marketplace, mods etc.

The real kicker here is development at scale. Anyone that comes in has to learn how all that custom code works, and chances are if you're like any startup I've interviewed/worked at (20+), you don't have any documentation on the code, or it's so out of date it's useless.

Meanwhile if you use that "off the shelf" thing and introduce a few hacks to make it work for your use cases, all I have to learn is those hacks and why they're there. The rest is already documented and maintained by another company who built this dev tool.
> While flight experts credit automated systems with helping improve safety and making airline operations more efficient, they caution that an overreliance on automation leaves pilots unprepared for tricky situations that require their expertise.

Despite more crowded skies and terrorist attacks, airline safety has improved since (or perhaps during) autopilot came along [1]. Definitely not causation, but you could argue that autopilot allows pilots to fly more and make air travel more affordable, reducing the reliance on less safe forms of travel. Plus, if it bleeds it leads, and the public wants solutions for everything, despite having an improved quality of life from the technology (most likely).

We need "humans driving in a single lane on a highway" for a control group for the experiment - the number of miles driven by a human in equivalent situations as driven by the Tesla autopilot. It may be possible to "control for other factors" as they say, but I have not seen that done.

If you don't have a proper control group, the Tesla autopilot will be significantly biased for success because it is dealing with much simpler driving conditions than "in all conditions" human driving.
I would claim using an existing programming language on a commodity platform is good for the wheel analogue. Beyond that searching religiously for ready made solutions with decision not to make it inhouse is just asking for trouble (one needs to approach technological problems with an open mind).
> Requests can be denied to protect a person’s safety or reputation, or if the recording is part of an active investigation.

As soon as there's a single subjective criteria by which footage can be denied, virtually all footage will be, period, the end. The "reputation" and "active investigation" parts make any concessions to the public completely and utterly worthless.

It was just conjecture on what I grew up around. They do go and verify the claim but most of the time they won't fault the farmers if the field is already reseeded after all they need to make sure the cover crop comes in good if the main crop failed. There's a lot of insurance fraud in agriculture mostly because the companies don't have the resources to go and check every farm. And to your final point they do correlate it to natural disasters, those events are rarely as catastrophic as they're reported though.

"active investigation" means anything the police want it to mean. Don't pretend it's a legally binding term.

What you're talking about is evidence in a trial, which can still remain sealed, and has nothing to do with the public being able to view the footage.
Autopilot for planes came from a culture where failures weren't denied because of profits. Public safety and being surer than sure that incidents never happened again were and are the utmost concern. Pilots are professionals who went through training and certification.
>European convention on human rights (which has its own free speech article).

You are referring to article 10 which comes with a very big caveat:

The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

Compare it to the 1st Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So yes, the US is pretty much unique in the way it refers to freedom of speech both de jure and de facto.
Article 10 pretty much says, yeah we respect the fact that in theory you should be able to say what you want, but make sure it doesn't offend anyone.

But how many of these people really pass as journalists? I don't see people like PewDiePie as a journalist anymore than I see Quill18 as a journalist. I just want their LPs and enjoy their silly antics. I don't buy the game based on their opinions but more on my opinion of how much fun it seems from my POV. If there's no fun IMO I just skip the game or only get it while it's on sale on Steam. Hell, I'll go as far as to say these sorts of "reviewers" saved me more money than the old fashioned magazine/TV show reviewers have on games. So I don't even bother with traditional reviews as is since LPs tell me more about a game than a review ever could. It's why I stopped going to Polygon for reviews because honestly reviews just don't cover enough to give me an idea what the game is about or how it plays. When I watch say Quill18 play HoI4 or Civ5 I get more information on the game than he can ever give me if he was tasked with writing a review of the game post-LP.

Edit [Major addition, lol]:

Also where the heck do you folks get the idea that PewDiePie is a 'reviewer' from? I'm like sorta floored by this still. And after watching a video response by him it seems he's in the legal right here. Before the FTC even had regulations for this, he was disclosing in the description of the video but it wasn't at the top of the description. Now he does both the description disclosure AND a mention of sponsorship BEFORE the LP. And it's not uncommon for the same thing to happen in the Paradox LP community (Arumba has mentioned at least one time in an LP that he was flown out and/or sponsored for the LP of a Paradox game which I think was HoI4). So, I'm not really keen to bite this click bait crap. Frankly, I think the Verge should edit this article with a major correction at the top of the article stating the promotional videos were done prior to FTC and YT/Google regulations existed on the matter.
> you shouldn't have to do that

Unfortunately, like with many things, there's no way to prevent them from doing it, so "shouldn't" has no relevance here. If it's profitable or entertaining to exploit that data, people will do so.

Legislate and regulate as you may, I can't depend on it because I can't validate it on my side.

If you have no way to verify something, you must always counteract it to the best of your ability.

> Have you ever visited New York, its announced every 15 minutes or so on subways.

My point is more that it's creepy in general, not specifically because of these devices (but the relation to 1984's telescreens is obvious), and that if it's prevalent in NYC (which I assumed), then I definitely don't want to live there. To me that feels like living with a sensationalist newscast about past terrorism always playing in the background, and I don't think that's a good state of mind to keep your citizens in for a decade and a half without good, and recent cause.

> How is it creepy?

I think there's a trade-off to be made between security and how you prime your population with fear. Having frequent messages about being suspicious of any random items in the city in general, not a specific high value target such as an airport, falls too far on one side of the spectrum for me. That it's on a large screen capable of recording video and audio, well that doesn't help[1].

The problem you face is one of perspective. The founding fathers lived under the rule of a monarch, in an era filled with tyrants, so they well knew the patterns of behavior and the risks. And they appreciated that the risk of abuse of power by the government far exceeded the risks of letting a few criminals and wrongdoers fall through the cracks now and then. A government unrestrained by strong protections for individual liberty and due process is a government with no guardrail to protect it against prosecution of systematic injustices.
I'd argue that in baroque music, much of the notation is a scaffold upon which to build the performance.

Often it's forgotten that articulation, ornamentation, and improvisation are all supposed to be assumed in baroque performance practice. And that in many cases (nowadays), all three of the above are tossed aside (thankfully, less so nowadays -- with performers skilled in performance practice).

Remember: Bach was much better known as a performer/improviser rather than as a composer in his own days.

Combining the complexity of Bach's compositions with the complexity of his (or someone else's) actual performance just adds additional layers of the type of sophistication that you're speaking about.
Simon and Garfunkel absolutely depends on performance; it doesn't have the same musical content as a Bach fugue.

A somewhat poor, though adequate, performance of a Bach fugue with an instrument that doesn't have great tone will still convey a great deal of Bach's meaning.

A performance by average vocalists of a Simon and Garfunkle tune, backed by some average lounge band will just be a laughable farce.

It can't be saved by the musical content, because that is there in insufficient quantity.

Pop music is all in the nuance and tone that doesn't get notated in sheet music.

The result is that performing a convincing cover of some pop music requires a very high musical standard. Whereas a five-year-old kid can play some passable Bach on the piano that we can enjoy as Bach, just by hitting most of the right notes from the sheet music at mostly the right time.

> disclosure from the streamer

Last year, when this problem started to get attention from the FTC and other regulators, TotalBiscuit posted a detailed explanation of proper disclosure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSvHhDmIe6Q

It really is that simple in most cases; just be very clear that you were paid (a free copy of the game counts), and let the viewer decide what they want to watch. I suspect their view-counts will stay about the same if the streamer is careful to put the same effort into paid videos as they do for their normal content. People watch the better streamers to see the character the streamer is creating and/or the show they produce. A good entertainer should be able to work with - or around, if necessary - paid demonstrations.
There are not enough Teslas on the road to know if their autopilot is safer or not. But if you want to make a premature conclusion, it would not be that they are safer.

Beyond that, tesla is not an autonomous vehicle. From what I can tell, it is not outfitted with the sensors to make it a viable autonomous vehicle. The danger is marketing it as an autonomous vehicle while having fine print saying that it is not.

> What do you think?

I think it's not safer based on existing data. Musk was pretty quick to tout that autopilot is safer over 100 million miles driven. It turns out his statistic was not as useful as it could have been. There was no mention of conditions in which autopilot is not likely to be engaged such as adverse weather or non-divided roads. Plus some deaths are from motorcycles, which, it seems, should somehow be excluded from the comparison.

On top of that, it might make more sense to compare the Tesla models' safety records to cars in a similar pricing class. Comparing a Tesla to a beater from 1990 isn't so useful. So there are different degrees of comparison. Tesla's headline-ready numbers do not tell the full story.

I don't feel badly about drawing different conclusions from the same data Tesla used in its response to the incident. I think they overlooked a few things. You're certainly free to intuit what you like.

> I don't really keep up with Tesla news but, based on the reaction to this story (where the guy wasn't even injured), I'm going to assume the actual number of injuries is tiny.

Tesla does not make this information available, so I don't think it is worth speculating. Effort would be better spent encouraging regulators to demand more detailed reports from companies that sell vehicles equipped with driver-assistance systems. Until all companies are required to report such information, Tesla is unlikely to do so. We can turn the screws on Tesla too, and I think they would be served by lobbying for tighter regulations to create a level and safe playing field for car companies and drivers alike, but I wouldn't count on them to spend much extra effort on holding themselves accountable in such a fashion. They're already having a tough time meeting their production demands, and Musk is still setting aggressive targets for complete autonomy that no other car company, including Google, is even close to. I think Musk has said full autonomy is 2 years out, whereas Google says it's between 3 and 30 years. Mobile Eye has a 5-10 year plan.
