> I believe this dilemma is un-solvable.

You are correct; it is un-solvable through technical means, as this dilemma requires a cultural shift that could take several generations to accept sensor- and machine-made decisions that are the embodiment of likely monied interests' policies who will lobby for the necessary legislative scaffolding. Not that will prevent companies from trying technical solutions: it may push sensor boundaries much further out, and at far greater granularity, for example. Scanning out to the mechanical limits of braking distance at current measured road traction, modeling every detected element, and simming projected versus actual paths microsecond by microsecond, and ultra-defensively maneuver. Not even limiting to just reacting to unfolding emergencies, but proactively easing out of potentially developing risk, like noticing it might get boxed in by human-driven vehicles (maybe identified by their erratic steering, not even requiring an IFF-type system), and easing out to join a "herd" of self-driving cars further ahead.
I think you're right, but anger actually works better in person.

The problem with anger over text, especially email, is that the angry message sits there and stews and stays angry at the recipient for hours or days. And they have lots of time to stew themselves and consider their response and go over lots of counter-anger thoughts in their own mind, before sending something back.

In-person anger can come and go quickly; it gets resolved; it doesn't continue for hours and hours and wear people down. Especially the way men interact (in some subcultures), anger is just a way to communicate a sense of urgency or import, and can quickly reverse into relief and camaraderie once it's acknowledged. (Of course this isn't universal, but it is a style that can work depending on context and culture, and if it's not overused).

It's a felony to access a computer system without authorization, access a computer system to obtain unauthorized computer services, degrade or disrupt a computer system, take data without authorization, or to use data obtained through misuse of a computer system.

The law is so vague everyone technically commits a felony every time they load a web page. Did ycombinator give you explicit permission to use this server? No, they did not. If they want you punished for posting this and they can find a friendly district attorney, you're screwed.

I'm old enough to remember when the conventional wisdom was that sharing music on the internet wasn't stealing because nobody was being deprived of physical media. Give Google a few years to lobby and create PSAs and people will being going to jail for creating ad blockers.

I've met people who worked on Midori and they describe it as the best project they've ever worked on. Used to work in a building with a bunch of old Midori-folks and would ask them about it anytime I heard the word 'Midori'. I don't think it was MSR though.

Personally, I've always been most impressed by the research into formal verification: Z3, Dafny, TLA+, F*, Lean, and many more.

A few others have pointed it out already, but you're quite misinformed (not uncommon, most Australians assume NZ has worse internet connectivity).

NZ has a nationwide copper network owned by NZX listed company Chorus, and there is a gigabit fibre network nearing completion (Chorus and about 3 other companies). Network owners are prohibited from retailing and must provide retail ISPs access on fair terms (wholesale pricing is regulated).

There are a few Australian owned ISPs, but none that operate in both Australia and NZ.

This is correct. The time to recreate a stateful set pod is:

1. Time to detect node failure

2. Time for cloud provider to indicate node down

3. Time to create new pod and wait for startup

Today, 1/2 can be from 20-30s to infinite. Kubernetes does not drain a dead node unless it receives some external signal that the node is truly dead.

Future work involves adding such failure detection with a fencer (that can ensure the node is partitioned, at which point it's safe to drain it). Just like normal HA, Kubernetes needs to know the node is actually down, vs just partitioned.

I would recommend designing your stateful sets so that you can move master from index 0 to index N in the event of a missed heartbeat, and make sure your clients are accessing the master via some proxy (whether kubeproxy or another). If the node dies under partition, but clients are accessing via the service IP, starting deletion of the pod will update the service for any non-partitioned nodes.

Electric is a much smaller market. And nothing about self-driving requires an electric vehicle.

I'd consider buying self-driving features on a regular car. Electric would be a total deal-breaker for me with today's technology.

Edit: upon further reflection I think it's likely that Apple is just developing the self driving tech and is unlikely to be actually planning to build cars, electric or otherwise.

I have been doing this for years. I find it helpful when going to refactor a part of the app that has problems. I then go look in the code and see TODO comments I added a while ago. Then I am 100% sure I really should fix that up. Yes they can get stale but usually they tend to be helpful.

I really like reading todos written by other devs to see where a feature was left incomplete. It's so much easier to see it right in the code rather than lost in a ticketing system.
Kubernetes does not use Docker's storage drivers. There have been bugs with attach/detach of cloud block storage though that has impacted applications a few times over Kubernetes lifecycle, although all have been fixed fairly quickly.
You're conflating the basic unit economic principles of fixed vs. variable costs. And you're ignoring the breakeven point.

A company that loses money on every unit sale has no breakeven point (Uber). A company that makes money on every unit sale has a breakeven point (Tesla). Because Tesla's fixed costs are very high, their breakeven point is out there, and thus they must operate at a loss for a period of time.

Now this is a simplistic one product view. When you add multiple products and release timing to the model, the complexity increases. Not only does the complexity increase, we don't have enough external financial numbers to break apart the data per product.

Don't get me wrong, Tesla has execution risk. But financially, I'm not at all concerned. They won't fail for lack of profitability or demand, they'll fail because they couldn't execute if anything. And... well... they've been slowly but surely derisking their execution risk as well.

So we shall see.
No, but by definition, any non-trivial software product (or academic CS paper, for that matter) is the outcome of a collaborative process, not an artificially time-constrained hack-a-thon/competition.

I'm not sure that's actually the case. It's still up in the air whether Apple, Google, and Amazon are actually going to be building the cars or just building software/hardware that auto manufacturers can add to their cars.

I suspect, at least in the beginning, they will just be building autonomous technology and letting the auto manufacturers add it to their cars.

It looks like the comment you were replying to was trying to equate dealing with oil changes/maintenance to poor customer support in an ongoing relationship.

I don't know that I can fault them for feeling frustrated with Apple's support. The number of times that things have been made obsolete by Apple after just a couple of years doesn't lend a lot of confidence to the thought of a vehicle purchase that you may wish to own for 10+ years.

Yeah, their verification tools are incredible. They applied VCC to Hyper-V. The driver tools mostly wiped out blue screens. Got a new one called P language used in USB stack. The methods you mentioned like Dafny got applied in ExpressOS by another team:

https://github.com/ExpressOS/expressos

Microsoft did it first in VerveOS although Nucleus was ripped off a mainframe OS from the 1970's. VerveOS was impressive where it was one of first safe to the assembly with much less effort than other projects. They also did CoqASM for verified assembly.

So, a highly trained human, using the officially recommended guidelines, hits 0.728, but software, trained on cold hard data, achieves 0.745 and higher. Maybe cardiologists should be really worried.
I haven't used FreeBSD on laptops. openSUSE is the best best for you I'd say. It's stable enough, had very good package repositories and is used by quite a lot of people. Fedora has the same issues regarding up to date packages.

I can't vouch for the package breakages on any system other than Fedora. I've just had a single package breakage on Arch in over a year. It was fixed by simply moving a file and making a symlink.

I found this a shallow, escapist read.

From the article: "So, it is small-time to make just the world a better place."

It's not "small-time". It's essential. Until we learn how to do this, scaling humanity to a galactic extent will only scale our unresolved existential challenges.

When we have our current home running so that current and future people can live up to their potential, I'll feel more confident about our chances in spreading out into a larger neighborhood.

Edit for word choice.
This is part of a larger phenomenon in IT where resources are plentiful so they are wasted. A small part of it is due to high resolution displays which cause an increase in the size of required bitmaps and some of it comes with 64 bit computing, but a lot of it is due to a general lack of care.

Perhaps the browser needs to implement a limit so a page just can't use an infinite amount of memory, CPU time and bandwidth. Or perhaps we should decide that 10 pieces of javascript is enough and any attempts to load more will just fail. The web designers will complain but they'll manage.

Particularly impressive given that they still seem to be selling out instantly, so this is them being supply-constrained rather than meeting demand.
> keep raising their offer for compensation

That's backwards from a psychological point of view, that will entice people to hold out for a larger offer later.

How they should handle it is very simple. Pick a very large number, lets say 10k, tell everyone on the plane to raise their hand if they're willing to get off the plane for 10k.

Obviously a lot (probably way more than half) will raise their hands. Now, tell everyone "keep your hand up if you're willing to get off for 7500," rinse, repeat until you get to only four people with their hands up.

I bet united could have gotten four passengers off that plane for LESS than the $800/each that they offered at the beginning, probably a LOT less and the four passengers would have been happy about it, too.

Most of the complaints about UB-based optimization that I've seen are from when the compiler uses UB to assume some type restraint that the programmer wishes it did not. E.g.:

int v = *p;
if (p == NULL) { /* ... */ }

The compiler uses UB to annotate the type information on p to indicate it's non-null, and then performs type-directed optimization.

A person claimed they already found a vulnerability, maybe reported it or just ignored it, and this was the same vulnerability. That person provided no evidence this was true. My impression was that people were downvoting it because they thought it was a lie (no evidence) or thought an unsupported "me too" claim added nothing to the discussion. You (a) didn't spot that or (b) asked about votes [1]. Both can lead to further downvotes. I just skipped past this whole, pointless section of the comments as I imagine most people do.
