Hard to find current statistics. This [1] seems pretty believable. Not sure if it's "good" or not, but there you go. It's interesting that, just eyeballing it, mass seems to be the dominating factor. The crown vic is discontinued, but was fairly inexpensive, looks like it was originally $25-30,000. Compared to a C Class, $30-35,000, which had more fatalities.

Of course, this is all 5 years old, so maybe there are better safety features available now.

There are a couple of things that may or may not be believable. Maybe it's possible for one or a few drivers to greatly improve the global traffic system [2]. I believe it, but i can't find a real study that proves it. I do think a handful of self driving cars can smooth out those compression waves, just by driving sanely.

Finally, purely anecdotally, a friend of mine is a truck driver. We get to catch up over dinner every few months. He sees people doing crazy things multiple times a day. He sees the helicopter ambulances on a weekly basis, passing by wrecks in either direction. His assertion, if people would just stay calm and consistent, a lot fewer people would die. It's either someone not paying attention, or being super aggressive.

I, also, would like to see a study. I would bet quite a bit of money, that a highway with only autopilot drivers would have zero wrecks.

I guess the real question is, does sensor failure (device failure, snow, things like that) dominate wrecks? or is it interaction with unpredictable (aggressive, inattentive) drivers?

IRC bots are a hack, and so much is provided by extensions, that there's no guarantee that your client will support basic features.

CAP Account is just that: an extension. It's not inherent to the protocol, and it shows.

And I didn't say the present bridges were perfect yet. The project is still a ways from completion.
Most every email client supports inline CSS, and in my experience, inlining your CSS for emails is the safest bet to ensure your styling is consistent across all email clients. What you can't inline ever (on email or web) is CSS media queries. IMHO, I don't think media queries are supported broadly enough to use them extensively, though Gmail supporting them is a step in the right direction.

Community Edition is telling me my trial has expired. Do I have to pay for Community edition?

No, Community edition is free to use.

DEFCON – The Full Documentary
Does anyone have a solution for old users of Google Apps (back when it was called Google Apps For My Domain) that just want it to be like a regular Google account but keep their email address?

It's very frustrating that everything Google does may or may not work for those of us that just use Google Apps like a regular google account. I don't use any of the organization features. I don't manage a collection of users. All I wanted was a GMail account with my domain like Google originally offered. I feel like a second class citizen in Google's ecosystem because of my Google Apps account.

I'm not even sure what would happen if I tried switch this account to a regular Google account. Google used to (and maybe they still do) allow you to use any email address for your google account but if you wanted to use GMail you needed an @gmail.com address. If I bit the bullet and switched to a @gmail.com account could I keep my data and Play store purchases? I'm guessing the answer to that is "no" so not only would I have to lose my email address, I might have to repurchase quite a bit. Can you import all of your data from one account to another using Takeout?

My dream is that Google will offer a "Make this a regular Google account" button. I don't want to change the email address I've used for 15 years just because Google pulled the rug out from under me after getting me to switch to Google apps.
I think this point from the post deserves emphasis, for consideration in future discussions:

> If Tesla makes a "major" change to software, pretty much all bets are off as to whether the new software will be better or worse in practice unless a safety critical assurance methodology (e.g., ISO 26262) has been used. (In fact, one can argue that any change invalidates previous test data, but that is a fine point beyond what I want to cover here.) Tesla says they're making a dramatic switch to radar as a primary sensor with this version. That sounds like it could be a major change. It would be no surprise if this software version resets the clock to zero miles of experience in terms of software field reliability both for better and for worse.

I am admittedly a broken record on this point, but Tesla moves very fast and very nimble on a system that is under design controls. It would be very educational to learn about their development process and how it maps to ISO 26262.
> The reason I'm writing all of this is because I also want to quit my job and go off on some kind of new adventure, but I'm not really sure what I should do.

Traveling can be fun, but also alienating. I met many people who renounced to their trip around the world after a few months. It can become boring after a while and you start to wonder what is the point of it. And you don't really build anything while traveling. Maybe not everyone has this feeling, but I'd like my life to have an other purpose than just roaming...

Nowadays, the way I like it is to travel from 3 to 6 weeks at a time. It's long enough so that you can go at a relaxed pace, but not so long that you feel you're wasting your time. I also like try to do something constructive a few hours a day (especially if I travel for a longer period of time).

As far as adventure goes, I find it more rewarding to live and work in a different country than to go to the usual backpackers circuits.

Good points, but trees were a primary energy source before the industrial revolution. When fossil fuels like coal replaced trees for cooking and heating, trees began to return to the landscape. Some areas of the US are more forested now than they were in the 19th century, also due to more efficient agriculture.

In my experience dogfooding is the only way to build a great product. Without dogfooding features erode. The "oh I haven't tested that in 6 months" happens frequently. The UX never evolves. I have NEVER worked on a product that got worse when it was dogfooded and I have NEVER worked on a product that consistently got better without dogfooding (sometimes it'll get better but it's always in spurts before going back down again).

Dogfooding is so under utilized especially in big companies.

Thanks for explaining. As jacalata pointed out I don't have much interaction with people with that point of view, hence why I have such a strong aversion to comments saying Americans feel that way.
As I said, it's not perfect yet. I should have said good support for cross-protocol bridges.
> It's not inherent to the protocol, and it shows.

IRC extensions are supported by over 90% of clients already, and provide exactly that.

In contrast to XMPP is IRC actually renewing itself in production.

Seems like mostly FUD. No mention of specific issues in any clients. And please have a look at other high throughput systems (like Cassandra or VoltDB) before claiming that a load balancer is the proper way to connect clients to a distributed system.
Even the 2013 is not a trial, it is not time limited, you have likely installed the trial version of the full installation if you are using the online client and not the ISO it asks you what version you want to install.

I have both of them installed on a VM, works offline no problems, you can even cache the MSDN library for offline use =)
Ah yes, sorry, it's Reason.
> It's not at all clear that Clapper committed perjury. He took an oath long before he testified at that hearing to not reveal certain secrets to unauthorized people, and that oath was backed by laws passed by Congress.

This is true, but it's bizarre that that the "Unauthorized people" would include Congress.

> When those oaths conflict, which one takes priority?

That might be a relevant question for whether or not he should be pardoned for committing perjury, but it's not a relevant question to deciding whether he committed perjury.
You can't eat housing. Yes instead of basic income or our current social services we could just build a lot of homes.

But why would you even build homes in the first place. Do you think Salt Lake City in 2005 with 2000+ chronically homeless people didn't have at least 2000 homes on the market?
Isn't this a problem that people solve using overlay networks[1]?

Most P2P systems use things like DHTs to relate IP addresses to the overlay network's addressing protocol so encrypted routing can be done over the internet.

It shouldn't be too hard to self host a service but the caveat is that you'd have to access it through whatever P2P network you choose. As an example, it'd be easy to host your own services through a Tor hidden site or I2P. I don't know much about how sandstorm works but things like a git server should be easy to host over P2P. The bandwidth over Tor and others can be really slow but some P2P protocols have high bandwidth[2].

They won't sell off your data, but they'll screw you over as much as they can: Can you spell "vendor lock-in", or "overpriced"?
The interface, as in the website, is often a centralized point. Admins can remove stuff from there which easily deals with CP reflecting to a large extent the current situation - sending CP stuff to some fringe.

In more grey areas, although admins can remove, say, free speech pictures, the picture remains there, with anyone free to create a new interface allowing the picture to be easily accessed. So it's a bit similiar to the internet where anyone can - or maybe now, could - create a new site and upload the info.

You can then add more user level jury aspects on top, but I doubt anyone wants to face that sort of stuff and moderate it if the network was to gain scale. If we go back to the centralized website though, it becomes a bit interesting.

Take Milo's banning example - just because it is the most recent and comes to mind. We have the twitter website with Milo banned. Under this scheme, we can have a twitter classic with Milo not banned. Both of them have the same network effect, the same users etc, they identical in all ways, but in one Milo is banned in the other Milo isn't with the only other difference being that they have different domain names.

When we all agree something is abhorrent, everyone uses the non cp network through the centralized website interface, while some go to... like now we have internet and tor, when something is in a bit of a grey area, however, there is an added benefit.

Say, for example, reddit took some action against everyone's opinion. The current option is for everyone to move to a new site. That's of course a bit difficult as it requires a change of habit and changing habits can be stupendously extremely hard.

With this, or more generally, with a blockchain based approach, you don't ask anyone to shift at all. There is no shifting. All users remain, the entire network effect is still there. There are no bootstrapping questions etc. No starting back from zero. All there is, is typing a new domain, far, far easier than persuading everyone to start a new town in a ghost desert place.

So, it is obviously not a utopia, but, it is a bit of an improvement. The whole thing is very much at a cable switching for phone calls stage though, so, everyone is sort of considering this matters.
Leveraging http for file transfer - via, say, web apps - avoids "civilian" (non-techie) users from having to install yet another tool (like ftp client)...though I do agree that browsers shouldn't replace every other tool under the sun. ;-)

To be honest I think very many of us don't need Kafka. As with many other things as long as we aren't handling more than a few thousands messages/sec any decent ordinary nessage broker like ActiveMQ should do.

Caveat: do not install production message bus in a vm.

Here is a interesting Pod-Cast about the MPAA:
http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcasts/how-the-mpaa-work...

I always thought it was more useful, as a parent, to see an enumerated list of adult topics before the program starts. You are beginning to see this now on some television programs.

* Full Frontal Nudity
* Drug use
* Adult Language
* etc.

Back to the EFF's true argument though, I fully agree that Shadow Regulations are a tricky subject, which are becoming more threatening each year to free speech and information discovery.
I think in large part why people dislike Kafka is that they don't really need Kafka (and the complexity that comes with it).

Don't get me wrong Kafka is good tech if really need that level of throughput but I honestly think most companies don't have that much data and/or just putting too much in the pipe. But they go with Kafka anyway I guess to "CYA" for future scaling only to find out Kafka is complicated.

I mentioned this earlier (a couple days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12520159) for someone using Kafka for a logging aggregation system only to drop it for ZMQ.

My other point is if your endpoint isn't fast enough it doesn't really matter what your pipe is. Pick an easy to use pipe first (like RMQ) and worry about scaling the endpoints.

The spike in the 70s will have been the steady growth of cars and re-industrialisation since the war. The fuel crisis was 73, for a couple of years, which led to queues at pumps, rationing and introduction of speed limits in many places. That led to recession and the decline of some heavier industries... and was a factor leading to the election of Reagan and Thatcher at the end of the 70s, start of 80s. Their restructuring led to the terminal decline of some heavier industry.

In 79 there was a UNECE conference[1] on pollution that most members signed up to. 1985 gave us the Sulfur agreement that UK and US (amongst others) never ratified. The mid 90s saw further reduction of sulfur, that finally the UK adopted, though the US didn't.

That led to wider use of SO2 scubbers and tighter emissions, though initial efforts only stemmed the increase due to rising car numbers during the 80s. The agreement has had regular updates ever since, leading to lower targets, adding pollutants, adoption of catalysts etc. Most of the acid rain is now in the oceans of course.

It's still all under the UNECE so excludes the growth economies and the developing world so in today's world it excludes much of the world's industry.

That was nearly all from memory - there will be mistakes. :)

It's worth noting that at the start of the 80s acid rain, its causes and effects, were on the news almost like climate change is today. It was every week - seeing pieces showing dieback in Scandanavian forests, lake acidity, some previously unknown effect and on and on. In the UK it was a weekly reminder the Thatcher govt didn't believe. We learned the UK had tried to limit Sulfur in the 30s and had started fitting SO2 scrubbers on power stations - between the wars! The war meant that was the last heard of it until the 80s and 90s.
