> There needs to be an objective overseer, that is not profit-driven, for proper evaluation. This Muddy Waters-MedSec fiasco is evoking memories of the Wild West and is surely not where we want to end up.

So, another Federal bureaucracy? Or what? And how could you guarantee that such a body would remain objective, and avoid regulatory capture?

I think the solution you propose could easily be worse than the problem.
The diesel-electric/hydraulic systems are used in situations where the gearing ratio would have to be absurdly high, they're not used because they're efficient or because they have good torque vectoring capabilities. The electric motor can produce nearly 100% of torque at zero RPM, which helps locomotives get several million pounds of train moving. In your car, truck, or even semi, first gear plus some clutch/torque converter slippage is plenty of mechanical advantage to get going, and once you're underway, a lockup torque converter or a fully engaged clutch is more efficient than the combination of an electric generator and a motor.

There's also the matter of power distribution, if you have four independent electric motors, you can only ever send 25% of available torque to one wheel, if you have front, rear, and center lockers, you can send 100% of torque to one wheel.
the power efficiency is a good achievement, and the hashrate is great, but it's hard to see how US/Brazil/German home miners can compete against the energy costs (both pure hashing power, but also cooling costs) of regional competitive advantages present in Iceland or Russia or Canada mining locations. As mining efficiency approaches the Moore's Law limit present in the commoditized CPU/storage markets, then power generation costs become the true competitive markers?

I guess time and your gut will tell, but don't waste valuable time to find out. Don't postpone any tough talks to later. Spend a lot of time together in business maybe even private. Traveling with someone to a foreign country for me is always a good indicator. You'll see how someone behaves in a different cultural setting, how they deal with unknowns and eventually you feel if you can work hard together for the next 5+ years ;)
Yes, in a roundabout way -- feeding arguments sets the variables on that page.
This is actually not true in pure mathematics. Students usually do not publish with their advisors, there are no labs churning out publications, advisors do not apply their names to all the products of their groups, etc. In fact, the vast majority of math PhDs from almost all institutions end up leaving academia.

The small number of families seems more likely attributable to the small size of the enterprise and the difficulty of the subject matter. It's very hard to have a good idea and equally hard to publish it. I don't know of anyone in pure math who decides about the value of a piece of work based upon pedigree.
Sorry, I forgot that in US "cars" and "SUVs" are two different things. Where I am from there is no such distinction, a Land Rover is still a "car".

Presumably that one might opportunistically look for and find dirt that might not actually be there due to financial motivations to do so. I think this could be mitigated by being really careful with what you find and how you craft that narrative, but that concern is there. If the story is really there, though, I don't see much of an ethical dilemma.

>Any new Land Rover or Range Rover? They come with 2 locking differentials, with 3rd being an option that can be added extra.

Source? Center locking diffs are more or less standard, rear lockers are options in LR3/4/post 2004 Disco's, Sports and Range Rovers (although standard in some, I think the Supercharged and possibly the SVRs, but I'd need to check) Front lockers are not factory options and I don't ever recall seeing after market lockers for these models advertised.

Defenders, Discos upto 2004, Range Rover classics (and probably P38s) and all series vehicles have the standard after market options for front and rear lockers.

I don't understand why it returns a promise. Are some of the validators asynchronous (ex: call an outside resource and validate against the response)? All of the example appear to define validations that could be run synchronously.
And in the next paragraph "To counteract this [sending of power to the wheel of least resistance] , the better AWD cars are fitted with a center differential that contains a clutch or viscous drive unit. This splits torque front-to-rear, directing it away from the spinning wheel. "

So, a well engineered AWD system actually sends power away from the slipping wheel(s) and towards the wheels with traction, which makes more sense.
I've always wondered why this matters. I've got car insurance, I've got additional rental coverage on my credit card, and there are plenty of other vendors from whom to rent cars if you want to blacklist me.

The brake based system is great if the traction control is programmed for "get me up this snowbank" and not "prevent me from being an idiot"

There was an episode of Dirt Every Day where Fred and co. took a Jeep Renegade(?), or whichever the small one is, off-roading there were some great scenes of the traction control in action. Basically by spinning the dial to rocks the traction control knows to use ABS to approximate how one would work the brakes with a torsen.
In Death Valley they often specify 4x4 high clearance. Of course, you don't REALLY need 4wd or even 2wd; you can tackle it on a motorcycle :)
I was referring to the fact that no one even knows if it's possible to do this yet. Not whether it would be easy or hard (or ethical) to do so.
I didn't read it, because I know the topic already, but also because I found it too long for an overview. If the crowd with reduced attention span is your target group, this doesn't work. This would amount to a 20 pages perhaps. I'd assume that's roughly how much it would need in the 600 page book, too.

Also, there is no TOC to gloss over, the ascii, cute as it is, is harder to fly over than legit text with embedded code snippets.
Isn't breaking existing workflows their business model? I have yet to see an update from the linux community result in rushed boardroom-level meetings about whether we are ready for the next software mandate or update deadline (win10).

It depends on where you get your clients from. If you use marketplaces like upwork your hourly rate will suffer. Especially at the beginning. From my experience you need to build a strong profile with 25+ reviews from completed jobs.

I'd stay away from these places and look at me personal network first. There might be even clients who do not consider a freelancer on a remote basis initially, but are happy to try.

Assuming a utilisation rate of 80% you need to bill 10-11.5k a month to match your current state of earnings. Let's say you want to work 40 hours a week, then your day rate should be 62,50 USD+
There are a lot of edge cases to handle when creating a library like that and I cannot see them dealt with in this library.

Think of WebAssembly as a binary encoding of asm.js. You'll be able to deliver the same program in either format. Asm.js will still be around to support older browsers.
Right. I've got a Golf R with Haldex; it allows 30+mpg under cruising conditions but can "lock 100%" in the sense that the fronts and rears are locked together. It's created a lot of forum wars because some people read the marketing materials saying "100% of torque to the rear wheels" or "max 50/50 split" and don't understand the difference. If it's fully locked, on dry pavement, of course you're getting 50/50. If the front wheels are on a magic 0 friction surface, of course, all of your torque is going to the rears because the fronts have nothing to grip on, but they're all spinning at the same speed (theoretically).
IMO adding scripting to a spreadsheet is a waste of time when R can simply import a spreadsheet, perform whatever operations needed, then spit out another spreadsheet/database/whatever format you want.
Finding out is the easy part. I don't mean to trivialize it, because doing stats right is actually a very technical matter, but this is just ordinary statistics.

You build a sufficiently expressive statistical model and include the potentially biasing factors as features in the model. Then the model will correct the bias all by itself because correcting for bias maximizes accuracy.

In the example above, you find the bias by doing linear regression and including (written_evaluation x isY) as a term. Least squares will handle the rest. If you using something fancier than least squares (e.g. deep neural networks, SVMs with interesting kernels), you probably don't even need to explicitly include potentially debiasing terms - the model will do it for you.

I give toy examples (designed to illustrate the point and also be easy to understand) here: https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/alien_intelligences_...

This paper does the same thing - it discovers that standard predictors of college performance (grades, GPA) are biased in favor of blacks and men, against Asians and women, and the model itself fixes these biases: http://ftp.iza.org/dp8733.pdf

Statistics turns fixing racism into a math problem.

If the topic were anything less emotionally charged, you wouldn't even think twice about it. If I suggested including `isMobile`, `isDesktop` and `isTablet` as features in an ad-targeting algorithm to deal with the fact that users on mobile and desktop browse differently, you'd yawn.

There are lots of variations on this theme. There are off-road differentials which limit the speed difference between the output shafts to a fixed maximum ratio, usually in the 2:1 to 4:1 range.

It's possible to do some or all of this in software. Tesla has an ordinary open differential but will apply the brake on an overspeeding wheel. Tesla's all wheel drive system has a separate motor for the front and rear wheels. Power distribution between the two during acceleration is mostly equal, but once speed stabilizes, the rear powertrain takes most of the load. Off-road slip handling doesn't seem to be well documented, but Tesla cars aren't intended for off-roading.

The most advanced systems are seen on locomotives. Modern heavy locomotives (GE Evolution series) use three-phase AC synchronous motors driven by IGBT inverters from power from a Diesel generator. Each axle has its own motor. All axles are normally locked together electronically by the control software, so no wheel can slip ahead of the others. Locomotives can be cabled together so that the axles on multiple locomotives synchronize. Now that's all-wheel drive. This is a huge win when starting a heavy freight train. Locomotive axles that are slipping provide little pulling power and damage the tires and rails.

All I said was It's also likely to be quite easy to avoid libel/slander.

I didn't evaluate this case or claim that all researchers/shorts would succeed in doing so.

In the end think I'm more concerned about devices that crash/fail due to unauthenticated radio traffic (claimed in the report) than I am about some dude accidentally libeling a company.
Locking the center differential in a 4WD vehicle is fine on pavement as long as you don't turn, so forgetting for a small straight of pavement in the middle of the trail is no big deal. Some trails are half dirt road, half long-forgotten pavement, so constantly reaching down can get tiring if one follows that rule verbatim. Snow transitions are similar; your truck would have been fine and I'd just reach down for a dry corner if you can disengage in motion. If not, yeah, bigger concern.

Front axle locker is similar, but with that you feel how difficult it is to steer as soon as you lock it. (In my Wrangler if I'm finding that I need the fronts we are in some serious shit anyway.)

Where's the line drawn -- what if press releases don't get any attention? "Let's let the vulnerability continue until someone dies, then we'll explain why they died and get more attention." Or even worse, intentionally kill someone with the vulnerability to gain attention.

What we need is some sort of qui tam lawsuit capability where a third party can sue device manufacturers when they have not suffered direct damages from the flawed device, and perhaps the government joins in, and then the third party receives a portion of the damages awarded. This already happens with Medicare fraud.

The performance of either system is completely dominated by the traction aid at the axles. The article is otherwise good because most AWD vs 4WD stuff completely igores the axles (because it's a heck of a lot to explain if you really want to compare the various systems) but kinda misses the main point.

Open, bad traction control (cuts throttle, applies a little brake), good traction control (all brake no throttle), the many varieties of LSDs, automatic lockers, manual lockers, Lincoln lockers and spools all have a huge affect on traction.

Lincoln lock the diffs of any AWD crossover, screw with some wiring so it's full time and you'll have something that can out wheel a $50k Jeep but trades off a tiny bit of grocery getting capability.
