looks like a great contemporary read.

Buckminster Fuller talked about the same thing in Cybernetics. He made the proposal that a feedback formula such as PID would lead to utopia when applied to government... but as many note, the problem is less about distribution of quantifiable resources than managing conflicting values.
I would like to see little leased pod cars which trundle around at the local speed within a certain range, and have the ability to go to a Bus Lane (I presume the bus is dead), and join a Magnetic Track of sort where they go 200 miles an hour.

That would be pretty amazing. Why they are sticking shit all over 2 ton vehicles? If they are solving Fuel and Emissions and Driver, can't they just take the final step of a revolution? I am pretty sure governments would be throwing notes at it.
Then sue them.
This is wonderful! Though I can't believe that Openstax wasn't mentioned. For those interested in some excellent free & open source textbooks, look up Openstax.org. I sometimes read through chapters for the heck of it. My only wish is that they are made available for Kindle. Really makes me sad to look back at my college education and think of all the money I spent on textbooks of comparable quality.

Sounds a bit rhetorical. How information is "far-right" and "far-left"? Not much other than to expose a fallacious single-dimension scale.

Neat project! I might just start using this.

One thing - does clight support ICC color profiles? My screen is harshly blue without the correct profile applied. Redshift normally simply overrides your profile; it recently added support for a "preserve" option, which applies the desired color temperature as a function of the current profile, but unfortunately this makes the transform relative, and also not symmetrical. Turning the temp down by 1000K and then up by 1000K causes a loss in brightness.
According to the FAA, it is unlawful to shoot at any aircraft, including drones, as is is outlawed in 18 US Code, 32 -
and considered "aircraft sabotage", and is subject to 20 years in jail, a fine, or both.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/32

Of course that is in conflict with Causby, which would likely take precedent at low altitudes, though the not-unlikely result might be a test for exactly what altitude a flight would need to be to be defensible in shooting.

At the end of the day though, whichever way the law sides, the drone operator has civil restitution available (if it can be proved who shot), which should help shape the court cases.
So one guy did something annoying, and another person retaliated by doing something completely illegal that could have put lives in danger.

Sounds like a reasonable reaction.
It doesn't have to be flawless, just better than humans.

And that's not a simple thing: it will have to be better than humans in every situation, just being better in some but clearly worse in others will still end up looking bad for self driving cars. People don't deal in statistics, they simply look at the situation and say 'that would never happen to a human' and will keep on driving themselves.

So it's a very fine line to roll this sort of thing out, do it too early and you end up turning off your potential early adopters.

Every business is going to lose customers eventually. Let's hear your tips on how to deal with it, as well as stories of what you did that turned those customers away. How did you get feedback on why they left, and was that feedback reliable? If you were able to win them back, how did you accomplish that?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'youngsters'--c2.com (and the associated wiki) are still maintained by Ward Cunningham, and the effort to rewrite the wiki[1] is hosted under his GitHub account and appears to have been his decision. It appears to have been motivated by a desire to "federate" the wiki, though I'm unclear on what exactly this vision entails.

Since the presumption by copyrights-holders is that each instance of piracy is a foregone retail sale, what would the monetary damages calculations look like for works that are never made available for sale?

Would anyone feel guilty for violating copyright on a work the rights-holder refuses to license?

As Hollywood films, AAA video games, television shows, and such are huge undertakings, with possibly hundreds of constructive participants, along with their administrators and coordinators, I wonder why major studios, distributors, and labels have not lobbied for a new category of protected work, such that one or a handful of individuals can't scuttle the whole project or any significant portion of it. It really doesn't promote the creation of new works if any collaboration means that the other people involved in it could make it a waste of your time after the fact.
The separation of economic interests and social interests is relevant here. There can be economic alignment with both parties and social alignment with one party.

There's obvious alignment between improving quality of news search results and Google's mission to organize the world's information. However, the timing of the initiative together with the current political climate suggest this is not an action made in isolation.

People make this claim. Why would there be a premium over what is paid today? Maybe there's a big premium relative to much lower premiums associated with new types of vehicles although there will still be insurance needed. But that's relative to a future state, not relative to today.

> Is it the responsibility of Google/Facebook to filter out "fake news"?

Their employees certainly think it is.

The reason Google/Facebook/Twitter/Reddit/etc. are so obsessed with fake news at the moment is because their employees believe that their product, which was supposed to "change the world for the better!" inadvertently helped Trump be elected. I'm sure more than a few Valley employees have had nervous breakdowns over this.

Now, banning Trump from Facebook or Twitter would be a little bit too obvious, so they're doing the next best thing: making sure, under the guise of "keeping you safe from fake news", that Trump or Trump 2.0 can't leverage their offerings to help his cause.

This seems likely to me. Gun owners would be familiar with shooting a flying object down with a shotgun loaded with birdshot.

It would be the intuitive thing to grab, and more likely to hit something. A small gauge one, like a .410, would even be relatively quiet (louder than a .22 rifle, but quieter than most other types of guns).
I have quite a bit of sympathy for someone who finds a drone flying over their property annoying, if someone was doing that to me I'd want it to stop.

With that said, it's not like he has no proof at all. If there is a neighbor that admits he hates the drone, admits he was firing his rifle in the yard the very same day, and your drone gets shot by a rifle while adjacent to his property, that's at least somewhat persuasive. It's all circumstantial evidence, clearly, but despite the common misconceptions out there circumstantial evidence is very much a kind of evidence.

Those evil corporations, being all corporate-y!

I haven't seen the movie Logan but the gist is that you think BigCorp will modify their cars so they drive dangerously fast, threatening the other non-AI cars on the road? And they will risk killing people or damaging vehicles in order to improve shipping time? And you think this will be prevalent? There won't be economic, legal, hiring, or social consequences from police, shareholders, politicians, employees, and the AI companies? Because they're big corporations run by greedy CEOs who get away with anything?

The additional hardware and software will be expensive as hell to develop, but once it's invented, the marginal cost should be fairly cheap compared to the price of a car.

processing power = cheap

software (marginal cost) = just gotta pay for updates and fixes

sensor package = expensive now because nobody is making 6 million of them a month. Once they do, it'll be a lot more affordable.

That doesn't mean it'll pay off for Google, uber, Telsa, Ford, etc., but if they build it, it'll move to all cars rather quickly.

> Also, it is somewhat ironic that you chose doctors as an example, as this is the area where it is common practice to get a second opinion when presented with a material conclusion.

A second opinion doesn't require a 20 person sample size to have a a reasonable chance of landing on someone who shares your views.

There is a reason it is to get a second opinion, not 20 opinions.

The basic problem here isn't the irony you perceive but the fact literally _nothing_ in modern medicine functions if you require 97% consensus.

From the attitude many discord devs have shown in their channels towards other devs, this doesn't surprise me. Unless you make bots for discord, there is little respect. Especially if you're creating your own UI features that Discord just 'happens' to implement once they get popular. While simultaneously turning around and bashing said platform it was possible in in the first place.

Also, dev/tech support is absolutely the correct path in many cases, because they /lead/ you to legal, if necessary. Why users are claiming otherwise does not reflect the purpose of having a support network. Infact, abuse@discordapp.com is much more for actual abuse of discord TOS, not directly legal matters. I could easily turn it around and ask why anyone would think /that/ is the correct contact.
> Their second problem was not embracing mobile early enough or well enough.

Not sure if it's ever been fixed but everytime I would go on the App I couldn't find half of the features, like I can join groups, but how do I make one? I could see that I could have family to share pictures with, but how do I add them.

Also as many have said, requiring a Yahoo account is a drawback as well.
The utilitarian approach is such an interesting way to frame problems like this. It's obviously wrong for me to murder to my neighbor for their organs, even if those organs could save five other lives.

How exactly is wifi traceable?

IP addresses of what is connected to can be hidden by proxies or anonymizing networks, or even just TLS. MAC addresses are spoofed routinely. It's wireless so fat chance it's reachable from places not under your surveillance, if you have any of that in the first place.

I also don't agree that an IP address is your personal identity, I think that's a very harmful idea. I am not a computer and I just barely control part of what my machines do.

Do you believe in the possibility of a risk-less society?
Yeah,but in the US you have coverage problems with most of them. And in Poland, basically they all have great coverage. I've used two of the major carriers, didn't have coverage problems even in remote parts of the country. (HSPA+, but even LTE is getting pretty universal)

As a compiled binary (i.e. your library was compiled into their binary), or as source code? Given we're talking C/C++, I doubt they added it as actual source code.

If they are not distributing source code ("3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source distribution."), it frankly does not matter if they disclose whether they use your library or not. And if they were distributing source code, the notice would just have to stay visible in the distributed source file. An average user wouldn't be able to find that anyway.

A compiled binary != distributing source code.

As a library user under the license you used, there is no legal obligation to include the actual license in (the documentation of) your app. If you wanted that, you should have included that in the license header of your source code. Sorry to break it to you, but they're probably not doing anything wrong here.
'Why did peer review not catch this? “Because peer review doesn’t do this,” Heathers told Ars. The point of peer review has always been for fellow scientists to judge whether a paper is of reasonable quality; reviewers aren't expected to perform an independent analysis of the data. ...In fact, without open data—something that’s historically been hit-or-miss—it would be impossible for peer reviewers to validate any numbers.'

It doesn't seem unreasonable to think that the peer review process should include a statistician or someone who can review the statistics.

State-owned, no. Public, yes. That usually means state-managed. Think public parks, think public libraries. The feds might manage the place where you go hiking in the woods, the county might run your library.

Everything isn't eventually owned by the state, because they periodically sell off bits of public land, and gain possession of others.

Unfortunately her teacher "finds science boring" and has somehow managed to instill this in her: I know she would enjoy science as a subject if she could see it from my perspective but I can't think of any appropriate videos / games / books to share with her (all the vsauce, veritasium, numberphile channels etc. are a bit too advanced for her)
