As owner of a Tesla is it possible to opt-out of this logging? Or is it a required condition of buying the car?
It's very easy to verify for yourself that the cause & effect goes "push right handlebar (or equivalently, pull left handlebar) to initiate a right hand turn/lean".

The countersteering argument has been repeated literally 100's of times on the internet on motorcycle forums. It's not worth debating as it is absolutely a real phenomena. It's counterintuitive yes, but there is no doubt that it is real.
Google may have a lot fewer miles, but they're much higher quality miles. The sensor suite on their car is much superior, so they're getting much better data. Even if the eventual Google car uses cheaper sensors, the data they get from the superior sensors helps a lot training the algorithms.
I don't think they are. I would be surprised if 10% of new code right now was coded in microservices.

It seems to me the data tesla are collecting are not unique. How many times logging the same driver driving the same 20 mile commute before you're in diminishing returns?

With deliberately chosen conditions, scenarios, and routes, it seems to me Google could be collecting data that are just as useful although maybe covering much a smaller number of miles.
That's not what he said. Solar cars are dumb. They're good for tech demos, racing across the Australian Outback on a sunny day in the summer, but useless for normal commutes in traffic.

Musk said Tesla has always planned to provide solar energy. SolarCity provides solar energy. The odd part to outsiders is, why now?

I think Musk's investment in SolarCity was being threatened by the end of subsidized net metering. He needed to speed up the time table for energy storage to keep the company in business. SolarCity had the solar panels, but Tesla had the batteries. It would be a poor customer experience for SolarCity to have to negotiate with Tesla for the Powerwall, and it would be a waste of time and money for SolarCity to start its own battery sourcing.

If Musk could get the market valuation and accelerate the world's weaning from fossil fuels this way, it's a big bonus, but all this leveraging is pretty risky.

There are plenty of reasons why one might choose to investigate such groups. And would hope that such groups might have positive things to offer.

However experience suggests that you are likely to wind up around people who are quick to explain all failures as discrimination. Because they do this for themselves, they are unlikely to be successful. If you adopt this attitude, your odds of success are also hurt.

Actual title: "How Not to Keep a Journal"

Not quite,
Music you buy on iTunes does not have DRM and will play anywhere you copy it too. However it has your name, Apple ID, and email embedded into the MP3 file and anyone you share the file with can use a tool like exiftool to look at the embedded info.

Movies are another thing, they appear to be DRM free as long as they are on a machine that is authorized with the purchasers Apple ID. Once copied to a computer that isn't authorized, the movie will either refuse to open or ask you to authorize the computer with the purchasers Apple ID because once again all your info is embedded into the file.
And if that wasn't bad enough, if you try to play a iTunes bough movie on a external device that does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) it will also refuse to play.

I got burned by this once. There once was a way to remove all the crap Apple puts in their movies, but the software that could strip it out hasn't been updated for ages now.
"I should add a note here to explain why Tesla is deploying partial autonomy now, rather than waiting until some point in the future. The most important reason is that, when used correctly, it is already significantly safer than a person driving by themselves and it would therefore be morally reprehensible to delay release simply for fear of bad press or some mercantile calculation of legal liability."

That's a hell of a statement and I want to see much better stats than that. Just looking at the total distance per death in human driven cars and comparing it to the autopilot total distance is a gross simplification. At an absolute minimum you have to start by only comparing driving on similar roads. Tesla simply keeps hiding behind 'if used correctly' which includes the driver being alert and ready to take over - if we restrict human driving stats to similarly ideal conditions the accident rate will also drop. Additionally driver demographics is a big deal as is the safety features of the car itself.
There's quite a nice history to that one:

Tesla and SpaceX required a lot of startup capital (relative to most other technology startups). Yes, their ideas are simple, but few people have the capital to implement those ideas.

Additionally, the existing players in the rocket market didn't have much incentive to innovate given how few players there were. Your guess is as good as mine on why the automobile industry didn't continue much EV research after the 90s.

This will be interesting to watch. Torrent sites only host torrent files; I'm sure he'll argue that the DMCA requests were invalid because the people filing them didn't own copyright to the torrent files, which were the only thing that the site distributed. Where do we draw the line? Do we prosecute people for posting a magnet link? If a movie studio puts an MP4 of a not-yet-released film on its servers, is it illegal to link to it?

It will be an interesting case to watch if he takes it all the way to trial. I don't think it's nearly as open-and-shut as the DOJ would like everyone to believe every case it files is though.
It may create more sprawl, but 2 of the big complaints I've heard about living in a city is how hard it is to get around, and it's hard to have a car that allows you to leave. Autonomous cars would solve both of these problems while freeing up cityscapes to also be more walkable/bikeable (you have to do something with what was former car parking).

This future is interesting because both living way out in the suburbs AND living in a city both become more attractive.

Nice plan, good luck! If that happens, though, I can't see why owning a car at all, ten to twenty years from now: just make an enormous fleet of electric unmanned buses running up and down every major road on Earth, uh? No jams, no accidents, only a regular and pre-determined flow of vehicles. One planet, one network.
I thought the same thing. I was very pleased though.

One other (big) difference between json and jsonb is that the former preserves extra white space. The exact text string of the json is stored. If that matters to you, say you're taking a signature of the original value, then you should use non-b json. Otherwise, stick to jsonb.

How is that different from debugging a multi-threaded or networked application? In both cases barely entering the debugger changes the behavior of the system. Heck even an asynchronous program running on a single thread doesn't have full stack traces.

Having worked with both monolithic and SOA apps, the later yields radically simpler architectures and from there you spend a lot less time debugging.

The older I grow as a programmer, the more I dislike monoliths. I'd rather have simpler programs where entire classes of bugs are guaranteed never to happen. I have yet to see a single monolithic app without serious technical and conceptual debt. The worst thing is that back when I thought monoliths were great I had absolutely no idea things could be so much simpler.

Also, HTTP/1.1 is a fantastic protocol. Its dead-simple to implement, debug, cache, send through proxies who won't understand your custom headers or body format and whatnot. It even gives you an extra layer of routing on top of TCP/IP! This is exactly what you want to build systems with.
Great metric to establish that seems reasonable and is heavily skewed in their favour.
FieldPulse
Agree with part 3. I fail to see why anyone who is willing to pay a premium for a Tesla car would be willing to let random strangers into their (new) car, unless the benefits far outweighs the cost/risks, but in that case, if the other car user has to pay a high price to use a Tesla for his commute, why not just use Uber instead?

This can probably only work when the car is old such that its value has already been depreciated significantly.
Ok so if we can download our brains into some kind of system. Could we speed up time in there? What if we could live "one day" in a matter of milliseconds?

I imagine a world where we have armies of dead scientists working on tough problems for us, in a simulation or fake world. They could have hundreds of years to figure out solutions. Then report back to use in the real world. All in the matter days.

I could imagine some turmoil in this fake world though. Some would want to die or leave. Others wouldn't see the point in helping us in the real world. Fascinating idea.
The Zapier integration is why I'm going to try this one.
If people are not swerving enough then wouldn't we want to teach them to swerve?

I am pretty sure that I have answered your question. It's just a pointless distinction to make. Such pointlessness detracts from actual important lessons. Should we come up with a name for the "oversteering" used to recover from a turn (pro-steering?)? After all, if you don't do it you will be stuck in the turn forever. That would be dangerous.
As stated the book is not finished yet, two chapters are missing, so they can't print a not finished book:

Is Tesla going to make this data freely available, to accelerate the development of safer autonomous driving software? Given that it's "morally reprehensible to delay release" of autopilot, it is also morally reprehensible not to publicly release such data if more groups working on the task will lead to safer software.
We have an internal tool where we can dump stack traces almost instantly by attaching to a running process. We can't open source it due to using Microsoft lab code which was never licensed itself. However, clrmd (https://github.com/Microsoft/clrmd and https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Diagnostics.Runtime) means an open source version is hopefully on the horizon. As an example, here's the result of me piddling in 2 hours with LinqPad: https://gist.github.com/NickCraver/d6292c0c7f93767686e8c5c89... Process attachment is in the clrmd roadmap, but isn't stable yet.

Yeah, callback hell is not a real thing. People tend to dislike callbacks only when they don't have much experience with them. I remember being like that myself. But there are a lot of problems that are inherently asynchronous and are much easier to solve with callbacks, than with anything else.
Correct. 10 minutes was from checkin to all servers built out, including a dev and staging tier.

This, citing employee numbers is somewhat meaningless without any data on the number of non-employees working in your supply chain. Could indeed very well be a case of outsourcing differences rather than a difference in productivity.

"Yes of course."

"No you don't or you would get their permission first."

If this article is accurate, the Master Plan, Part Un narrative is a bit more nuanced.

Yes you can.

If you have a minority that has every disadvantage but believes that they CAN succeed by their own effort, that minority will succeed and it will reduce bigotry against them. Indeed the history of the USA supports this - we have had wave after wave of disadvantaged immigrants. They have nothing, have trouble with the language, and are widely discriminated against. But a generation or two later you have seen Italians, Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian Jews, Afghans, and many other minorities integrate into the mainstream and do well.

But get a victim culture established in a minority, and things won't improve for them. They are unlikely to actually face more discrimination than, say, Cambodians did when they arrived here penniless and not speaking the language about 40 years ago. But they will have a worse future.

Look at it a different way. If you're from a disadvantaged minority, you've likely got a strike against you for having a bad background, and another for current discrimination. Add a victim mentality, and you're out. It doesn't matter how good the evidence is that you're an actual victim, it is the mentality that you can't afford.
I've always kept paper notes as a programmer. I know it's idiosyncratic, but I honestly don't understand how others can design anything or keep track of their jobs at all without a notebook (or a virtual notebook.) I can reconstruct my entire thought process on any major project I've ever been involved in.

So for me it applies in exactly the same way.
DHT doesn't support a keyword query. btdigg likely worked by looking for some large percentage of all DHT traffic and using BitTorrent to grab metadata of each torrent and running queries against a local database. Others could do it, but it requires bandwidth and time.
Sending this sort of data through the mail unencrypted shouldn't be legal to start with, imho. It's just a matter of time before it ends up in the wrong person's hands by accident.

It says 'train line' right in that sentence. Where is the ambiguity?

That's the thing -- in your (wetware) mind it says "train line." But the sentence itself it just says "line", which can mean a whole much of things.
Ya, you're probably right. Its likely just my bias. It feels like its the only thing i encounter at my day job.

Could you provide a source for this? I did some Googling but could not find any information supporting this.

I definitely agree on the Pokestop data, but I find it hard to believe that models and animations are not assets included in the app file.

Kurgan hypothesis
Equating "Microservices" with "Information Superhighway" really shows the tech bubble that this article is written in. "Information Superhighway" was a vacuous but mainstream term used by politicians and public figures. "Microservices" is a tech hype train led by expensive consultants and pickaxe companies thriving off the current tech boom.

Don't get me wrong, a service-oriented architecture is the only thing that scales to large companies. Once you get to dozens of engineers and millions of lines of code you will inevitably need to have an SOA because Conway's law. Also, there is a learning curve to building microservices which improved tooling really helps with.

However the thing that really grates at me is how these articles say things like:

> Services are now an everyday, every-developer way of thinking

With nary a mention of the overhead. There is no way around it, distributed systems have an irreducible complexity no matter how good your tooling and boilerplate is. You have to put in extra work to decouple everything and handle failure in a way that actually reap the benefits of the distributed system. And in the end, what these articles always gloss over is the interface between these systems. If you can easily define an interface between systems that stays relatively stable as the service evolves, then congratulations, you have a good candidate for a service with minimal overhead. But for most applications, those interfaces are shifting all the time, and there is no better tooling than multiple logical services running within one binary and build system where integration testing and validation is cheap. This is a real fucking problem people, it's not going to go away because there's a couple billion dollars worth of venture-backed startups ready to blow their cash on you in the vain and most likely misplaced hope that they are actually going to have to scale to dozens of engineers. Premature scalability is one of the worst siren songs for young engineers and we're seeing it in spades right now.
Hence the popularity of HBO Go. Showtime, Discovery, History, BBC are also working on theirs and have launched them in some countries. Sadly, Comcast refuses to make deals with most of them, so we can't e.g. Get a Discovery account because we already pay them through Comcast, AT&T, or Verizon despite a similar deal with nearly every other provider: https://www.discoverygo.com .

At least where I live, we get a choice between AT&T or Comcast, where AT&T is over land line DSL @768k not guaranteed, plus I'd have to pay for a phone line vs Comcast at up to 300mbit. Guess which I went with

Anything that accelerates the downfall of the toxic incumbents in the US is a win in my book.
> Semis spend a large part of their time driving at highway speeds where air resistance is at a maximum.

Why would a self-driving cargo vehicle drive at highway speeds? A human truck driver can only drive 11 hours/day, an autonomous vehicle can be on the move 24/7 and so could travel at slower, more efficient speeds while completing trips on similar time scales.

> To achieve useful performance an electric semi will need a lot of batteries which will reduce its cargo capacity (Federal law regulates the maximum gross weight), which reduces its value to freight companies.

Don't forget about the solar roof unit. There is a lot of surface area on a trailer. This could offset some of the energy requirements along with other technology such as regenerative breaking. Also consider that a supercharger network might be constructed.

> Autonomy. I think this will take a lot longer to achieve than planned, both technically and socially.

I disagree. The evidence is to the contrary technically speaking. The matter is more subjective on the social front, but we've seen how popular attitudes change to technology. It might be a fatuous example but consider how it was once uncool to be online and then MySpace happened, and consider how it was anathema to be anywhere near online dating, the archetypal hallmark of a loser, then Tinder happened and now it's almost de rigueur in the mainstream.

> Enable your car to make money for you. I don't want anyone using my car. Legal liability is one reason. As owner of the car, I am liable for damage it causes.

Insurance (including public liability insurance) is already a thing. Insurance is priced according to risk, so when autonomous vehicles are here and much safer than human drivers the insurance will be priced as such.

> If I need to go somewhere, and my car is not here, I don't want to wait for another one.

The post alluded to making your car available when you're at work etc. I expect the intention is ensure it has returned to you by the time you want to go home.

> I don't want to get my car back from another user and find food wrappers strewn about and used condoms under the seat.

These are valid concerns I share too.
