What is "that"?

If you are referring to the parent's analogy, then yes, I said his/her analogy fails.

Tesla is not making it mandatory to their buyers go through a serious and rigorous training to use their so tauted auto-pilot, which is a freaking dangerous thing as it's far from being a autopilot and it's only half-baked semi-auto-pilot potentially riddled with a lot of hidden AI bugs, that their machine learning team may find hard to even locate.

The airplane autopilot analogy, the parent is making to justify Tesla's claims fails miserably, IMO, anyway.

But if a lawsuit gets filed, Tesla will have a very hard time justifying this type of claim.

Another important thing (from their business success point of view), is: this incidence and their shameless justification of the faults in their so-tauted autopilot will tarnish (already has tarnished to some extent) their image in the public. They can't just now show their fucking warnings they originally published in fine-print and got the unsuspecting users signed, and expect the users to happily purchase their now-perceived death-traps.

Competitors just have to point this death-trap autopilot feature of Tesla to turn a potential buyer in their favor.
Ditto. Except for about 15 years. It's not difficult to run your own mail server and deliverability is fine if you keep on top of changes in the tech.
The study doesn't say they have more body fat. That we already know since woman are biologically prepared to do so.

The study says that more woman are obese: I.E.: Looking at healthy body fat in the two genders (where the healthy body fat levels for woman are already higher then men), more woman are above those levels.
I like the idea, but I get wary at the thought of getting home at 3 AM (perhaps with company) and finding out that the bed extruding mechanism has failed... It seems the robotic part is a bit overkill, couldn't it just as well be mechanical/manual?
Guess we can't have the cake and eat it too. Or perhaps if we do we need to go for a triathlon. Seriously though, I wonder how much of this is correlated with our sitting problem, back problems, knee problems that result from a sedentary + high calorie lifestyle. Stop looking at going to the gym to be like <insert god-like body reference here> and just get out for a freaking walk, do some pushups occasionally, maybe a few sit-ups. Even small steps can improve overall fitness. But yeah....probably a good IoT biz opportunity.
Like most dictatorship style enforcement of human behaviors I find this distastefull to the extreme.

Like most dictatorship style policies its also pointless and for theatrics only.

Perhaps Nepal could improve child mortality first even if its not hipster enough for the west.
It would be so cool to have a high tax on sugar (and saturated fat). It has at least as much damaging effect as weed. I know it's not the perfect solution but it would force companies who want to sell in shops to decrease using it.

Thankyou for the PTAM link, I saw that years ago and was originally looking for that when I found the LSD-SLAM link! Even better, it lead me to DTAM which is amazingly much more robust. Time to learn how to do GPGPU processing on Android...

As for the using an AR game as cover for 3D scanning and mapping of the world at large, technically it's a grand idea but on the other hand the privacy implications would be immense. You'd have to be very careful how you did it.
Well, it's going to be either women or men, and it's going to be either growing or shrinking.
Good call. I checked river sand-bar width in the old code. It turns-out that it offset by random x and y. Currently, I have just x offset. The old code with y sandbar offset caused bigger bars.

It's good, now. Thanks for taking interest. It's true I was negligent not investigating.
This is using BMI. BMI does not distinguish between body fat and muscle mass, causing it to be exceptionally inaccurate for men with a lot of muscle mass.
>It would be so cool to have a high tax on sugar

To some degree we have that, with tariffs on sugar coming into the US, which raises the price high enough that everyone uses alternatives.
You seem to be arguing semantics more than nuance. You aren't trying to say that practice doesn't matter. Right? Instead, it is debatable how much it differentiates the absolute best from those just below?

If so, I think the "No evidence" is a bit strong in this case. We may lack what would commonly be considered "proof" but there are good indications that practice matters.
Not bad, trying it out for some use cases it could fit quite well. Cheers!

Good:

* Temporary credentials, that can be added e.g. per machine basis (very useful!)

* Very simple Dropbox integration

Bad:

* No way to upload to a subdirectory (but in dropbox root), it should be really like other Dropbox apps, that goes to a separate Apps/ dir.

* No way to separate uploads into directories either, eg. `scp filename user@host:somewhere/` will actually create a "somewhere" file, instead of "filename". `scp filename user@host:somewhere/filename` will upload nothing.

Ugly:

* I'm logged in as "Signed in as michael.lawson", not sure what is going on, account info leaking across accounts, or it's just a placeholder text set up left over from somewhere?

* Using `ssh-dss` server host key, have to explicitly enable in my ssh settings with HostKeyAlgorithms (see http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html)

* Password authentication with SSH, so either run it interactively, or use `sshpass` to do upload in a script non-interactively.
is this actually working already? signed up, logged in and it says signed in as michael.lawson on the upper right.
Do only I think that the rewards of 2000, 0 and 500 are incredibly low?

The motivation is much higher to keep the bug for yourself and create several 10 000 easily before anyone ever would notice.

Well if you are cynical I guess. The food scientists are far too good at their job. I have a dream that they will agree in the spirit of humanity to detune the taste of food to get the population's weight down.

What do you mean by "worked well"? What scenario would have had you conclude that it did not work well?
A ring buffer can work for a single writer and multiple readers, in the model that each element is received by all the readers. Each reader just needs their own read index and the writer probably needs to check all the read indices before writing a new element, to ensure it doesn't overwrite data still being read.

And indeed it you want all readers to get all elements, I think a ring buffer is easier than a linked structure.
What a hysterical reaction. It's not dictatorship. They can vote out the ruling government any time. Some things require enforcement. My post people are happy with such enforcement that comes with a small cost to personal liberty that benefits pretty much everyone.

Ireland did something similar years ago and the results were incredible. An almost overnight transformation of the cleanliness of the cities and countryside. Nobody would like to reverse the decision now despite significant opposition before-hand. Same with the smoking ban.
What about going after the tossing instead?
The following line will give an error if you try to compile it in Swift 3:

let a: Double = -(1 + 2) + -(3 + 4) + 5

Reminds me when Golang said you should avoid using numbers greater than about 20k in your program to avoid GC problems. I.e. farcical.
It is quite the opposite. They compensate lack of flavor with pumping up the calories. They increase salt/sugar and fat until the bland food tastes like something.

If you want to see food scientists at work - look at modernist cuisine - where the goal is to pump the flavor to the max while keeping the calories in check.

That's true, but if you take a walk around any random city in the UK you'll encounter far more fat people than muscly people. It's not even close. And I'm not talking about Mr-Universe-Era Arnie vs technically-but-not-terribly overweight, I mean just vaguely in shape vs visibly overweight
Talking about deliverability, I've got a gmail contact whom I've been mailing for 10+ years, almost daily using my gmail account. One day that person mistakenly marked a single email as spam (instead of clicking delete). From then on, all my future emails to that person started going to spam for a month before we realized what was happening.

Spam filters are so aggressive & dumb that they can't filter out a false spam report. Moreover, if I've explicitly added a contact to my address book & that contact has done the same for me, and we've been mailing for 10+ years, almost daily, often multiple times a day, then it's really annoying & unexpected for our email to end up in spam.

Hate spammers who've made a simple communication so complex for everyone.

Overloading with type inference is an interesting problem. Haskell has type classes, which is an elegant solution but has its own issues. Swift has more flexible overloading at the expense of compile times and corner cases.

Rule number one of the distributed systems academic circus it to introduce at least one new term in an effort to create a new buzzword (because as we all now, a lack of buzzword is holding back breakthrough of concepts).

Preferably, all established terms should be replaced by buzzword candidates.
BMI is ridiculous because it also doesn't take into account body frame. There's a huge amount of difference between the amount of weight that someone with a 50" chest should carry and what someone with a 35" chest should carry.

I think according to BMI, I'm supposed to weigh like 180 pounds as a healthy weight. The lightest I have ever been was 210, after I spent an entire summer hiking 10-15 miles a day through the White Mountains, packing fifty pounds of tools, building trails and working with a crew that was half-vegan, so we subsisted on starvation rations.

> Really? Everyone I know also looks at reviews, brand reputation, and other factors. Of course you're right that sometimes we just buy the cheapest option. :-)

Anecdata time! :).

I think that this sometimes turns out to be more often than not :). Not many people have time to read reviews and check brand reputations for everything they buy. Personally, I divide shopping decisions into two groups - where I care about quality, and where I don't. In the former group, which includes mostly expensive stuff, I'll check some reviews. In the latter, I don't care. The latter group mostly consists of things that cost about as much or less than my time spent on doing research.

But from what I've seen (and experienced), a lot of things move from the "check reviews" to "buy on price" group the moment one is low on cash and/or low on free time. Anecdata - my mother used to buy CFLs but at some point switched back to incandescents (the ones that are illegal in EU, but are being sold in every corner shop anyway, just labeled as "not for household use") just because she didn't have time / energy to go to the big store that sells decent CFLs at a reasonable price. I only upgraded her apartment to LEDs after few of those cheap-ass incandescents literally exploded, sending glass shards all over the kitchen.

> I was going to post the list, but had second thoughts that it may seem argumentative, and they seem pretty obvious anyway.

Please post that list, I'm interested. Even if it seems obvious, it may not be obvious to everyone.

Are you suggesting that the issue of debate was whether it would lead to less litter? That's almost obvious, isn't it? Surely, the question must rather be whether it is morally acceptable for us to impose such a rule on other people.
So much nicer than filling the space up with billboards. It's a bit of a shame that the default artwork for a lot of outside space is paid advertising.
You're right, in the sense that the partial sums are always 0 or 1, so 0.5 away from 0.5.
However the mean of the partial sums converges to 0.5 (this is called Cesàro summation). It converges "on the average" towards 0.5.
However this isn't normally what people mean by convergence.

On a per mile basis, they most definitely are not. Here's one set of US DOT numbers[0] from 2007 that show the rate on interstates is 0.7/100M miles while the rate is highest on collector roads at 1.99/100M miles followed closely by local roads at 1.94/100M miles. Interstates have less than half the fatalities on a per mile basis as local roads.

In both cases, the core of the matter is exposing oneself to danger for some higher cause.
Seems like an important point, but I think it would also be worth to see a comparison of energy saved by end users through increased efficiency, and energy used on additional manufacturing, distribution and sales caused by the need to replace bulbs more often.

This is a general point about all "eco" technologies too - a device is not "eco-friendly" if it's total manufacturing and distribution energy costs are higher than the "eco-unfriendly" alternative.
The food scientists work within a budget to achieve maximum consumption. The local optimum is to pump up the calories and salt levels. Modernist cuisine is far too expensive and complex to be an option for industrial production.

Seriously if the food scientists made cheap industrial food with lower levels of sugar, fat and salt it would stop people eating so much and as a population we would be much thinner and healthier. The trouble is each food company is competing against each other leading to them creating an outcome which is sub-optimal for us all.
Is it any wonder that American men are going to Eastern Europe and Asia to find a partner? Most women there are thin, feminine and treat foreigners better than locals. Is it any wonder that men working in tech love [1] Asian girls?

BTW, the number of obese people is projected to grow even more [2]. Plus there are people who are overweight. God help us all. We're going to have a nation of entitled land whales walking around promoting fat acceptance.

I'm showing, not suggesting, that many people needed to experience the enforcement in order to be convinced of the benefits of changing their habits.
This article is from November. Why bring this up now?

Anwyays,

> After decades of increases, obesity rates do seem to be flattening out.

> And another note of optimism: The CDC finds childhood obesity has leveled off. In many states, as we've reported, obesity rates are falling among preschool-aged kids.

Good. Maybe in a few years we'll see a drop?

> Across all adult age groups, about 38 percent of women are obese, while 34 percent of men were obese.

4% seems like a pretty small gap.

> And, the divide becomes even greater for some women of color. The obesity rate among African-American women is 57 percent and 46 percent among Hispanic women.

I'm assuming that Asians were the exception? Is it because of genetics? Or income-level?
How could they miss that?!
Your comment makes me think of playing catch. Do we really calculate parabolas in our brain when choosing how to catch a ball?
This may be anecdotal, but in my gym (Central London) most of the guys are skinny and most of the women are fat. I do notice the same in the street as well, so personally it's really hard to believe that there's actually more obese men in UK than women. Maybe city demographics is just different.

Ataturk must be rolling over in his grave. It's a damned shame that the coup didn't succeed - Turkey has been one of the few reasonably successful Muslim countries at Westernizing, brought about because of the colossal failures of the old Ottoman Empire. Erdogan's backsliding into the same theocratic-tinged islamist government is especially troubling for a NATO member, and one that is slated to join the EU eventually.
That is not what the comment I was replying to said. There was a "refusal" to mix academic content with Internet memes.

They probably mean that 1 occurrence is not enough to invalidate a statistical model built on wealth of other data.

So, do you mean that these people considered the outcome uncertain until it was tried?
What. Can you give a link, please? Wasn't able to google that up.
This is anecdotal and all but I am not so sure ban on plastic bags is that effective (though the figures given for Ireland seem substantial):

The free, single-use plastic bags were perfect for our 20 litre garbage bin. Now I have to buy 30 litre garbage bags (the minimum size available) so, on that alone, the change means we are using 50% more plastic.

We still accumulate reusable bags, though at a lower rate. So much so that I have to start using them as garbage bags, to thin the herd. The takeaway from this is that the 10 cent charge is way too low.

The reusable bags were great for other things also: taking things for recycling, wet clothes from swimming, going to beach, etc. The reusable bags are bulky so other types of plastic bag are pressed into use and hoarded.

So we got at least two uses out of the previous bags: one trip home with groceries and another trip taking out garbage/recycling.

What did make a substantial difference to our household's consumption of plastic bags was that some supermarkets (here in Portugal) offered, free of charge, heavy-duty, hold-all style bags for a short period of time. These are long lived and infinitely preferable to the single-use sort.
Some of this is nice, but I don't get why you would want your output to look like markdown _before processing_. Why can't the headings be headings, without the "##"s etc.

Here's the main hack:

Do not eat anything that contains sugar.

To start off, try it for just 1 week. You will realize that sugar is a drug to our brain.

Once you are clean, reduce the "hidden sugar", carbs, to a minimum, and increase vegetables to reach 60% of the volume of your food.

You'll feel great again.
How Britain has been kept safe for a decade
> Is there such a thing as the universally acknowledged definition of "car safety"

you might try the "deaths per passenger mile" metric, or "deaths per million passenger-miles".

On that metric, long-distance air travel is very safe, as one trip transports hundreds of people a very long way, and motorcycles are at the other end of the scale.

See:

Of course, I sympathize with any casualties. However, this seems to be a question of responsibility in my eyes.

If you're not aware that potential dangers still exist when you step into a car, you shouldn't be driving the car (which is a shame as it's a fantastic car).

Sorry. Tesla is not at fault here - however much people want to call it that way.

The Model S is not some magical car designed by aliens. It's a machine. Problems may occur. We are not at autonomous-vehicle stage yet. However Autopilot is a damned comfortable upgrade compared to the old cruise control.

I can't believe people are blaming Mr Musk or the marketing department for people not taking responsibility or being careful when they get into a car. As they should in any car. Especially any car with autopilot like capabilities.
Pixijs
RAND conducted a study that criticized the statistical analysis that most autonomous vehicle companies are doing to try and prove their safety:

"Given that current traffic fatalities and injuries are rare events compared with vehicle miles traveled, we show that fully autonomous vehicles would have to be driven hundreds of millions of miles and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles to demonstrate their safety in terms of fatalities and injuries. Under even aggressive testing assumptions, existing fleets would take tens and sometimes hundreds of years to drive these miles — an impossible proposition if the aim is to demonstrate performance prior to releasing them for consumer use. Our findings demonstrate that developers of this technology and third-party testers cannot simply drive their way to safety. Instead, they will need to develop innovative methods of demonstrating safety and reliability."

Right, but that's not the convention in Node. Anonymous functions always go last.
A Tesla is also probably a much safer car than the average, skewing the statistics even more.

And neither does Autopilot work in heavy rain and in other circumstances that are possibly higher in risk (although I'm not sure driving in the rain is actually more dangerous, due to risk compensation)
Your statement does not contradict the former - black represents death but death does not necessarily represent black.
