>So now we can't castigate lawbreakers until we can prove someone actually adheres to the law?

No, but we could at least hold out on castigation until it's proven they've broken the law. A class action lawsuit isn't proof of anything.
> Secondly, do you really expect drivers (the software kind, not the meat-sack kind) and hardware to have any better results in a car than in a PC?

A modern car is a series of different PC's connected by a CAN BUS. It's much easyer to standardise comm protocols and CAN messages than a whole PC stack. And yet, currently, there is no such common standard. I see no reason why CAN modules could not be plug&play.

There is a common SW stack standard, AUTOSAR, but it's, most of the time not firggin working or the implementation is incompatible with other implementations.

Auto industry SW is a shithole of inneficiency.

When bunny hopping does the distance between your feet matter? i.e. Is it better to keep your feet closer to one another as you do it?
Well, we don't have it sadly.

Jokes aside, there is no "offical" source for my claim. But the fact that they use a linux based system yet have no place to download it is all the evidence you need really. You can find a number of people detailing their (unsucessful) GPL requests in forum posts etc. by searching for "tesla gpl" or "tesla gpl violation"
> Maybe I'm wrong and I've just been made horribly lazy by writing too much C#, Python and JS, ....

I know the feeling.

Nowadays I only use C++ to write libraries for Java/.NET/Android/UWP, that I have full control over.

When I see C++ code written in enterprise projects, frozen in pre-C++98, the code looks quite different, it is a continuous education process to try to convince devs to move forward, think Python 2 vs Python 3.

I also miss modules, but at least I can play with them on VC++ 2017.
> So, in terms from programming analogy, you need how your runtime operates, how it can affect neighbour processes/services, and what can you do when the runtime breaks down. This still does not affect how you structure your code (at least usually, when you don't work closely with the OS, which I bet is majority of code in the wild).

Working with CFEngine's "DSL" v2 was very different from using Puppet mainly due to its limitations and lack of features. This really affects the way you structure your code.

There were / are many nuances in CFEngine that make it different from puppet. And this is also about availability and complexity that is what I meant.
I'm pretty sure no one who uses Google or Facebook is presented with a dialog that says 'This service is free in exchange for your privacy. Do you agree?'

Exploring how we work in the digital age
A 1% fatality rate definitely qualifies as huge. The statistical value of life in the US, which is inferred from what people are willing to pay to avoid risk, is ~$10M. So a 1% risk is worth about $100k, i.e., this is something like what the median person would pay to avoid that risk. Non-expert climbers who pay for help to climb Everest probably have above average wealth and hence would probably pay even more to avoid this risk. It's sizeable. At least as risky as spaceflight.
> couldn't figure out how to meet US emission standards for diesel without cheating

Isn't it less that they couldn't figure out how to meet the standard, but rather that they did not like the consequences? Evidently the cars in question could operate in a lower-emission mode.
The company that pioneered the swap was named 'Jags That Run'.
It's not clear that they couldn't do it. The three possibilities are:

1) They couldn't do it.
2) Their margins would be thinner.
3) Their competitors are cheating, and emissions controls reduce performance,
so everyone would buy the cheating competitor.
Also, everyone has dirt on everyone else.

This will be a big story all of the three cases.

> it’s already being realized that electric drivetrains are becoming something of a commodity, and not the huge differentiator that drivetrains are in ICE cars

There's a big difference between the drivetrain in a Tesla and a Leaf.

Even if there weren't, I don't agree with the premise. The basic ICE engine and drivetrain in a car is not a differentiator either, at least as far as normal "family" cars are concerned.
There was nothing especially remarkable about VW's cheating method, the students who researched this apparently just wanted to work on Volkswagens.

New ‘Borderless’ Accounts from TransferWise Make It Easier to Bank Overseas
The last company I worked for acquired 2-3 companies per year, And it became obvious that in some cases the people who part of the acquisition were burned out and wanted to be free of their responsibilities. But they didn't have the financial wherewithal to just quit and move on.

A lot of them shifted into roles with different but less critical responsibilities. One person basically just turned into an evangelist, meeting customers and painting visions. It wasn't easy for them to keep going, but it's easier to keep going in that type of position because they weren't responsible for keeping the lights on.

I realize this isn't an answer, but maybe this is a way to keep going if you decide to stay with whomever acquires your company.

>The product is just too complicated (tons of domain knowledge required) for someone to come in and take over.

This is a very heavy burden. I was here once as an individual contributor and I ended up in the same state you are in now. It was absolutely awful. Even if somebody can't take over 100%, can they take over 25%?

Also, as others have said, find somebody to talk to. Assuming you have a decent marriage, cry in front of your wife so she knows what's going on. It's hard to move when you feel the whole world is resting on your shoulders.

The thing I really dislike is how the US economy is based on credit and consumption. The Federal Reserve probably basically regulate how fast money is printed so it has value, which is then often used to import goods from for example Japan or China. These countries then buy treasury bonds.
Accommodation and compromise are zero sum. You're leaving a lot on the table if that's the extent of your paradigm.

Here's a sample model: http://righttojoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Assertive-v...

Collaboration is value-generating. It takes more effort and yields more return. Rather than 'pushing back' you work together to understand what is important to each party and find ways to meet those needs. This must be built on an equal foundation - your needle in the middle - for most effective good-faith negotiation. Your partner needs to be reasonably intelligent and reasonable for this to work.

You need to teach people what's important to you, rather than expecting them to read your mind.

Highly recommend the negotiation book 'Getting to Yes' for a thorough treatment of these concepts.

Berkeley College Professor Arrested as Assault Suspect
I'd consider myself accommodating and people often come to me for all sorts of advice. Or help with their new amazing idea. It's nice having a reputation of being able to do a wide variety of things, including building companies which many people fantasize about. I have a successful SaaS with a partner that brought me an idea/opportunity because I had built a reputation as collaborative/knowledgeable/accommodating. I'll invest my time and expertise to explore opportunities and people know I'm candid.

However, I get ideas brought to me from everywhere, incl. friends of friends of friends. I'm happy to provide detailed thoughts and notes but now I make sure to challenge the person and the idea.

If it's a good idea, I want them to do some work upfront before I put anything else into it. Sad to say that most people start really excited about their idea, then I'll note that there are companies doing the same or nearly the same thing already, that they need to differentiate, what it's going to take to compete, etc and they will get completely deflated. Most of the time there's no follow up. That's why most people can't be entrepreneurs.

I've helped out way too many people in the past only to have them give up so easily. So if you're in this camp - I'd recommend challenging those that want your help - it's a great filter and also a way to say yes and no at the same time. You'll end up wasting less time and you'll still be open to great collaborations and more rewarding experiences from helping others out.

What I find ironic is the Diesel emission cheating has allowed NOx pollution to skyrocket in Europe which causes terrible localized air pollution but lowers their CO2 emissions (vs using Gasoline engines) and lowers their crude oil import needs. So companies that promote Diesel Engines can claim to be lowering CO2 emissions at the cost of very polluting NOx emissions.
> You can find out if they copied the homework. There should always be a follow up talk about it. They should be able to explain the details.

That doesn't prove anything. They could've hired a senior developer to help them and explain the concepts in detail.

> Ask them to add some functionality on spot. They have working code they should be familiar with and you can work with that. You want to test their approach more than anything.

The more 'real-world' this is, the more it's going to be biased towards those that have experience in a particular stack or with a particular type of development. Which isn't necessarily bad (it could even be good!), but it may be if you want a more agnostic interviewing process.
Offtopic, but regarding the downvotes -

I have been using FB front-end projects for several years, and today I see them as _the_ gold standard for a supportive, mature, well-governed, and consistent FoSS ecosystem. I struggle to recall any snarkiness, cynicism, or even rudeness. I'm sure it happens, but I closely monitor several of their projects and the behavior is mostly exemplary even without considering the size of the user-base.

Besides near-exemplary FoSS behavior, FB engineers must solve problems well beyond what most industry will ever attempt, and then present some of their solutions on a silver platter for the rest of us. Of course, it's not perfect, and sometimes confusing, and sometimes over-engineering, but I would personally pay $xx,000 per year to use any library of the same standard as they give out for free.

So when I see a callous comment that takes nothing to write and could cause someone to feel degraded about their vast contributions, I downvote. It's not about safe places, it's about professional respect and courtesy.

How to Generate 1,000+ Leads with Your Book
This article seems to start with what may end up being a false assumption. Namely that we will own cars as individuals vs. renting them from a subscription service.

We see where Tesla is going with that, and I guarantee others are considering the same approach. And to a degree, it makes some sense. Of course "owning a car" is a concept that is deeply engrained in American culture and society. So those who grew up with that will likely lament or fight its loss. Even people like myself who understand the massive benefits to the environment, safety, traffic, economy etc. will still miss the feel of driving down a windy mountain road.

But those who will grow up in a world of self-driving cars? They largely won't care. That time will be freed up for being on their mobile devices, chatting with friends, sleeping, or doing whatever else it is they would do with that time back.

Depending on how our economy goes, it could also make less and less sense to own as has been the trend for a bit now. If you live in a dense urban area, there's a decent chance today that you already decided to forego owning a car in favor of public transit, car sharing services, or ride sharing like Uber/Lyft because of the costs.

So in a world where reliable, well-paying employment is harder to come by, and cost of living increases are outpacing wage increases, owning a car might just not be as much of a necessity.

That of course brings its own set of issues when everything becomes a subscription or on-demand services with regards to lock-in, privacy, monopolies, etc., but that's another debate.

It's a pretty cool hack to reuse crypto primitives in order to implement some operations.

If you're not very familiar with JavaCard and why this would be noteworthy, JavaCard is basically a very stripped-down version of Java that only bears some similarity to regular Java SE. Amongst these limitations is a very stripped down standard library (there is no java.lang.String for example), only a few types (byte, short and arrays of bytes, support for int is optional, no support for char, long, double, float, etc.) and no garbage collection (so everything is preallocated at program start, including exceptions).

Given these limitations, implementing newer crypto algorithms is quite a feat.
I find it extremely dystopian that Zuckerberg will likely run in 2020
The fact that the normal routes on Everest don't present major technical difficulties doesn't change the fact that it is immensely difficult physically and mentally due to the altitude and conditions.

Both you and @briandear are correct. On a sustained-alpine-climbing level, there are hundreds of routes/mountains harder than Everest. And to be sure, there are huge, difficult routes with thousands of vertical meters of sustained alpine climbing on 7000m+ peaks that are far beyond the Everest north and south normal routes and only attempted by the top 50 or 100 climbers on Earth.

But nonetheless, Everest is very hard no matter who you are. I disagree that Cotopaxi and Chimborazo have much do with the difficulty of Everest. These are mountains climbed in a single push from a medium-altitude camp, with only one or two hours spent above 6000m on Chimborazo, let alone 7000m. Trekkers in the Himalaya may sleep at higher altitudes than you ever would on Chimborazo. The hut you likely launched your summit bid on Cotopaxi from is not significantly higher than airport you fly in to in Lhasa to climb Everest from the north. Besides the far lower altitude, it's much easier to find a weather window for the 6-10 hour summit bid. I don't mean to downplay the challenge of the Andean volcanoes, but merely to tell you than the higher you go, it gets much, much harder. 6000m is only the beginning of "high altitude". I've climbed 6000m peaks in a weekend coming from sea level with one night of acclimatization. It's not the same by any measure.

Everest is an achievement by any route. No, it isn't the same as soloing huge routes in the Alaska Range like Colin Haley or Steve House, but that doesn't make it any easier.

I don't get your point about Rainier. Disappointment Cleaver on Rainier is a tourist route too, with no significant technical difficulties. Everest South Col is that plus a whole whack of other challenges.
It's a fair question - and you've got the right answer. In the UK, when you want to make a large number of people then you have to follow a set procedure. My employer did not do that. Then they tried to prevent me taking up a new job via a dubious non-compete.

If I didn't have a union provided legal firm working on my behalf, I wouldn't have understood my rights.
This isn't a bad idea. Beyond the concerns raised by other commenters, building a personal car from commodity components may not happen because we'll no longer own cars, but instead subscribe to a transportation service.

The cost of which might depend heavily upon the cost and serviceability of the service provider's fleet.

If your market doesn't mind riding around in automotive version of a no-name PC, the Lego approach might work very well.
> Did you try reaching out to each of those major social networking websites to offer collaboration on this standard?

What possible benefit would it give companies whose entire business value revolves around their data...to just give that data away to anyone?

Here's what I learned from working on the DIASPORA* project: The only people that federated/distributed social networking benefits are the 1% of nerds who know how to use it. Everyone else is hopelessly, and willingly, attached at the hip to their social network of choice. Most of the issues or feature requests fell into the following two categories:

1.) I need $FEATURE otherwise I can't use DIASPORA* at all.
2.) Why doesn't $FEATURE in DIASPORA* work like /Facebook|Twitter|Google/? If we made it work exactly like that, regardless of the fact that it makes no sense on a distributed network, we'd be able to actually compete with a $100bil social network! Wow!

Both of these are pipe dreams. With #1, the person is convincing themselves that they want to use D*, but in reality they just want Facebook without Facebook actually owning their data. #2 is the notion that a company like Facebook or Google, who both simultaneously and independently got rid of the last remaining "interoperable standard" in their business: XMPP. Yes, XMPP...once the golden boy of federated discussion platforms...has been totally deprecated by the top two implementors.

Why? Because building their own, centralized IM service is not only more lucrative, it's also a lot easier and less expensive.

The fact that anyone actually sat down and took the time to build specs for federated social networking is a miracle to me...considering there's practically zero business value in it.
That's why I used the qualifier "gasoline-fueled": the particulates are coming mostly from _diesel_ engines.

(I didn't belabor that point earlier because I assumed that people here would already know that because the VW diesel-emissions cheating scandal was such a big story.)

During a busy commute in a major US metro area, the vast majority of the vehicles on the road are gas-powered (because a large fraction of trucks will avoid busy commutes). I realize the situation is different in Europe where diesel-powered cars are much more common.
