That reads like a Bruce Sterling novel.
Different parts of the UK had different names for left-handed people. It predates baseball or rounders. I can't remember which, but one region used the term 'southpaw'.

I've seen a map explaining this but I can't find it at the moment. Its a weird feeling when I completely can't find something via Google, even though I've seen it online.
the autonomous car's job is to protect society from bad
drivers.

Interestingly, this is the same argument a class action lawsuit against Tesla is making. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/tesla-says-there...

The suit claims that the Model S and Model X are
defectively designed and that Tesla did not "develop and
implement computer algorithms that would eliminate the
danger of full throttle acceleration into fixed objects"
even if caused by human error.

Right now a Tesla vehicle will let you override the computer, even if that means driving through a wall. https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Tesla... Depending on how the lawsuit turns out, that may change.
Our new Chrysler Pacifica has a lane departure detection system that will nudge the steering wheel to always keep you in your lane. Combined with adaptive cruise control, it gets close to a rudimentary autopilot-ish system. I've experimented with it (without other traffic present, of course), and have discovered that not only will it beep and complain at me if I keep my hands off the wheel for more than a few seconds, but it will also disable the lane departure detection, just to make sure that I'm not using it for that purpose. That seems like a sensible approach for this level of autonomous system.
heritable - able to be inherited, in particular.
inheritable - capable of being inherited.

Inflammable means flammable? What a country.

Sure you can inherit behaviors, but I'm trying to be specific and say I don't believe it's genetically inherited, but a behavior that is learned. Kids learn by mimicking.
Oh! I thought that the browser in Windows is Microsoft Edge-not-IE-nosir-notatall. Are you telling me it's just a rebrand? Inconceivable, in-con-cei-va-ble!

(Also, using the Steam HW survey as representative for anything else than "on what are the people running Steam" is practically screaming "bias" in bold, capital, blinking, marqueed letters)
The author might have been using Wal-Mart as an example, but in general there's a trend in the American political left to shit on Wal-Mart because of the reasons given, and because they're a gigantic business. It gets kind of tinfoily-hat.
Hi Marak, you're right, this is an alternative.
You'd have to implement the filtering of the addresses you don't want any more though.
I can't help it if you misinterpret my words.

But I very clearly did not conflate turing completeness as a requirement of a programming language. I just thought it was worth mentioning that CSS3 + HTML5 is Turing complete.

And you are still completely incorrect about CSS being a programming language. I think we are done here.
The hands on the steering wheel is a proxy for paying attention. That's really the key point of these "assist" features: you need to be paying attention just as much as you would be otherwise. Unfortunately, this reduces their effectiveness to being backup.
This is a trade I'm willing to accept. I trust a VPS provider more with those records than I trust either Verizon or Comcast, both of which are motivated by advertising.
I tend to see 1-2 articles a month I want to read from WaPo, but it's about $50/year for a subscription. And many of those articles aren't much more than what other sites have (because they're not deep investigative features).

I'm not interested in paying about $3.33/article.

When they do big investigations I'd be happy to to pay $1 or $2 to read it.

This? No.
Right, but selling non-free software isn't interesting for those of us who really want to see more businesses thrive around free software. If it's really impossible to make money without selling non-free software, then Julia isn't very interesting from an economic perspective.

If Julia hasn't figured out how to make money without restricting customers via legal or technical means, trying to lock them in, or putting software in their machines that controls their machines without the full knowledge and consent of the users (i.e. source code and permission), then I'm not really interested in what they're doing economically.
Can you elaborate on the steps needed to ensure your security in this case?
There are still options. It could sound an increasingly loud alarm, initially inside the cabin and then the horn too. It could start slowing the vehicle. It could turn on the hazard lights. All of these things could hopefully make the driver feel increasingly like an idiot, discouraging abuse.

Slowing the vehicle may increase the risk of a collision from behind, but that is balanced by the increased risk of not having a driver at the wheel.
Somewhat, at least. It'd be nice if it did something like exponential backoff/decay on the number of ignored warnings it allowed per drive or per unit of time. Repeat offenders should probably be required to prove more rigorously that they're paying attention for the safety of the driver and others.
It appears that not having your hands on the wheel while autopilot is engaged could perhaps qualify as some kind of emergency, or at the very least, a risky enough situation to justify pulling over.
Are you serious? What are you 12 years old? Not cool to just mess with recruiters and waste people's time.

The Jobs problem is not search problem (i.e. it isn't difficult to discover available jobs) but rather a trust problem. In this setting you have suppliers and consumers with many to many relationship.

The good supplier doesn't want to spend their energy in reviewing vast quantity of available consumers. At the same time good consumers don't want to go after every available suppliers. There is also good likelyhood that bad suppliers as well as bad consumers are trying to masquerade as good ones. This is the same setting as dating website or Amazon product website. The solution that humans seem to prefer is somehow build the trust model. In case of Amazon product website, you look at reviews and ratings by others. In case of dating website you look at characteristics that you have learned to trust such as what's in the photos, what person is doing for living, what degrees do they have and so on. In case of jobs, companies look at who is referring to who or if you are already at other top company (which is the reason why most people get jobs because of referrals, not by posting resumes). The trust model is developed individually and can massively be different from person to person.

I'm in fact more certain that virtually all companies ignore resumes posted on their website and most interviews happen solely because recruiter actively identified candidate from other similar company/university or referrals. However this may be more true in skilled jobs.
sinistra, in Latin proper, simply meant left. It was later that someone decided that left = evil and sinister, well became sinister, but the historical root simply means left and is the original archaic definition of sinister.

Personally I am more concerned by our higher than average death rate than I am worried about being touched by the devil.
Here is what I see after I click "GENERATE AN ADDRESS" > "Generate an address for any other reason": http://imgur.com/ktTssbB

If I click "Not Now", the prompt goes away and nothing happens. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how the service works?
> But I also think that if you consider network-level access as fundamentally different from other access then that's kinda missing the point of BeyondCorp.

I understand what you're saying here. I think to me, the point is, don't trust LAN access more than WAN access. But that doesn't mean that restricting LAN access is a bad idea. One of the benefits to BeyondCorp is that you don't (generally) require LAN access in order to access resources. But if your BeyondCorp server goes down, then what? How will you access it?

I probably still wouldn't want to expose my mission critical services over WAN (though I understand your point that VPN is a service exposed over WAN -- and why not SSH then?) Maybe that's wrong of me (I likely haven't given this as much thought as you), especially if you're using TCP-MD5 (which I actually haven't heard of until now, sorry for missing that), or filtering source IP addresses.

This is an interesting discussion, and I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I'd love to hear more about huproxy and how it's working for you, if you'd care to discuss it more. My email is jmaguire@duo.com.
That's great, if you're looking to take someones license away. That is not what the NTSB does. The assist feature failed to recognize the obstacle ahead and worse yet, it failed to recognize it's own failure. This is what the NTSB is investigating.

The autopilot did not disengage. If it disengages and tells the driver to take over immediately, hey maybe (big maybe) we can accept that this was not a technical failure and solely the drivers fault. But that didn't happen.
Same here. Was just researching on this. Not sure if I should go with an open source OCR engine or one of these APIs

They're relevant because much of this could have been easily foreseen. Some of these safety warnings have been on others cars since the features were first deployed in other brands. Tesla didn't include them and marketed it as 'autopilot' in a way that really seems kind of reckless to me.
I kind of see your point but not sure I agree.

A fulfilled life can be so many things to so many people. It can be about fitness/sports, or knowledge/learning, children, marriage, family, friendships, religion, travel, material things, music, career, social good, art, inventions, etc. Some of those things are linked to money and some aren't.

Financial health can help enable some of these things but a bad financial situation can completely hamstring you too.

I do agree that a good financial situation does not always make you happy or even less stressed. Not that long ago I had more or less zero savings due to some early setbacks, recession, etc. I don't know if I ever will think I have enough until I could pay for my parents' failing health costs, help my nephew pay for college and various other things. I suspect this is true for many. Before I was just hoping to not have to eat cat food when I'm old. Now I want to do more for my family and my wife's family and also not eat cat food when I am old.

I will also say knowing I can survive without a job for a year or more gives me comfort when I am stressed or not engaged.
20+ years of working in the tech industry and adjacent, so not so much, no.

But my work has, until this year, rarely involved compiling software for other people to use. So that may be the noobness you're detecting.

I'm aware of that, and personally it doesn't matter. It only lessens the social pressure. It doesn't eliminate it.
Worth noting that the driver seemed particularly enthusiastic about autopilot, to the point of frequently recording his experiences and publishing them on YouTube:

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/business/joshua-brown-tec...

> CANTON, Ohio — Joshua Brown loved his all-electric Tesla Model S so much he nicknamed it Tessy.

> And he celebrated the Autopilot feature that made it possible for him to cruise the highways, making YouTube videos of himself driving hands-free. In the first nine months he owned it, Mr. Brown put more than 45,000 miles on the car.

> “I do drive it a LOT,” he wrote in response to one of the hundreds of viewer comments on one of his two dozen Tesla-themed videos. His postings attracted countless other Tesla enthusiasts, who tend to embrace the cars with an almost cultish devotion.

That he was a Navy SEAL who specialized in electronics and bomb defusal probably also gave him additional confidence/hubris when driving.

There is no mention of a "collision" warning is there?

That is very disturbing and why I'm bothered by this round of reporting.

The warnings seem to be just "hey you aren't supposed to hands off for this long" which, as others point out, are just the type of notifications that people start to ignore as they grow more comfortable with technologies.
I think most restaurant staff split tips, so no one will be paid less than anyone else if they get low tips.
This is why I use Brave. It blocks all advertising and silly paywall scripts.
They are a little off because you compare them to your own individual life and you ignore the general trends.

I'm a geek and libraries had nothing to do with. Rather it was all about my geek big brother and some of my geek friends. Yet I don't deny that the geekiness can be inherited from an old geek father in most cases.
Wow, borrowing a Holocaust quote.

Ah, interesting. I did think of using a VM but my understanding was that Mac OS VMs were an absolute pain in the ass to set up ;)
I am trying to understand this. Appears to offer bulk accounts that are easy to create and permanent, targeting the market that sits between a) regular email addresses, which are permanent but a pain to sign up for, needing phone verification, etc. and b) throwaway accounts that are easy to create but cannot be kept long-term.

This seems like an interesting idea if they own a whole bunch of different domains, but they don't specify this, and my attempt to sign up for an address failed. (open firefox -> click create my nBox -> click Sign up for a service (i type https://facebook.com) -> receive message saying "To create your nBox

This is a case where bad word choice in marketing could literally kill people.
I really hope they have a strategy for dealing with drivers rating their riders poorly based on tips. Maybe aggregate all the rider tips into one and delay how soon they can view that amount? I really don't want to be given 1-star ratings just because I didn't tip the driver.

"Autopilot" in an aircraft doesn't imply it flies for you. And in an aircraft, there are multiple levels.

My sons are both geeky (love science, minecraft and math) and like to skateboard, BMX, BayBlade, shoot each other with nerf guns, fight all the time and just play whenever they can get to it.

I was 36 when I got my oldest and 39 when i got my second son.

Just anecdotal but so does this seems to be.
Makes perfect sense, yes. And that's what I use Python for 99% of the time.

I just thought it was interesting quite how hard it turned out to be! As someone who's usually on the games/VR side of things, I may have taken some of the magic that Unity, for example, uses to compile to all sorts of platforms for granted.
I agree. The quality of the journalism from many paid website is not very deep, and then I'm taking a risk with buying into a particular political slant or ideology. I really like Bloomberg's reporting lately. They've been writing deep, well researched longform pieces, and leaving the political ideology out.
I meant structural precomputation. But yeah, I forget you can discard names. You're right: through sufficient use of discarded intermediate bindings you can replicate multi-line lambdas.

Still, the existence of this sorta demands we ask, "So why can't we use it then?"
While this comment is off-topic or meta, I think this is an important point about how to view paywalls. If paywalled articles are being shared and voted for, that's a signal to how valuable the content behind the paywall is. If paywalled articles are always replaced, we will not have this signal.

Yes, I 100% believe they analyze cloud photo backups and use the data for their own purposes, and I would be surprised if they don't explicitly allow this within their privacy policies and Terms of Use. That's the motivation for them to offer unlimited free storage. I would guess that they probably have a human look at a random image, identify the objects, and then use that to train their CV pipelines.

They do some types of automatic analysis/processing which you can see when the Google Photos app delivers an automatically composed album, panorama, or movie to you, and you can also go into Google Photos and sort your photos by the objects and/or people that Google recognizes within them.

They do this for all speech-to-text run through official Android/Google search applications. You can go to a Voice History page within your Google Account and download recordings of every "OK Google" you've performed, and I've heard that they have human transcribers who spend all day listening to random voice searches and transcribing them to provide the corpus to compare against the computerized transcription.

As for EC2/GCP, I am sure they analyze whatever data they can. I doubt they go into the disks, but they would necessarily see the endpoints of the conversations, the volume of the average transmission, and other such details. The datacenter has a lot of knowledge from metadata without having to actually introspect the bits that you're sending over the pipe or storing on disk.

Disclaimer: I am not involved with Amazon or Google in any direct way and this is mostly hearsay.

EDIT: On re-reading, I realize that I flubbed in the original post (now past its edit expiration). I was in a hurry and didn't realize how flippantly my statement came off.

I don't mean to imply that Amazon/Google casually spy on the information of specific users for competitive intelligence, just that interesting metadata is available to the platform host without requiring them to look at anything that they wouldn't normally have access to, and that they already have a vast abundance of the types of images that people are uploading to public hosts like imgur.
Thanks for the info: I didn't know about this one.

Give him a trial run first. hire as a freelancer (no equity but pay them an hourly/flat fee). If he can get you a few paying customers using his contacts and sales skills, then you could consider giving equity/partnership of some sort.

The thing is that anyone can claim to be anything. You need to ensure that they can actually deliver. Don't give equity and then find out. Find out before you give equity. Remember, equity means they own a percentage of your company possibly for a really long time.
They also take into account the state of the machine you're working on. So locked bootloader and probably a client cert in TPM-like component, plus "device health". Client certs alone are good for authentication (don't work in HTTP/2 though) but they want to reach even better target - no malicious software running on your computer.

That's from reading old papers, I don't know if anything changed now.

Any example code of how to do this?
Theory goes, left-handers have an advantage in battle (everyone has fought and trained against a right hander). Those that won, and had good political skills got to rule (and remain ruling) and reproduce, so it was self selecting for leadership. What is odd about that theory is our almost static percentage of the population thru the ages.
You can just tip 20% every time, its done through the app so its not really any more work, maybe one additional finger tap when you're rating the driver.
My father is a butcher, who was 20 when I was born.

Came to geekiness mostly because I moved into different cities too much. Didn't find good friends, so I started gaming.

In the end the gaming led me to build my own PCs, fix them when they broke down and tweak the games and drivers. This led to interest in coding.
>Could be, especially given the stakes for Tesla.

This is a really important thing to remain vigilant about - Tesla and other self-driving car developers have an absolute incentive to blame/excuse/deny when it comes to fault for any autonomous vehicle accident.

My money is on us seeing a LOT of 'this dead driver was a total idiot' and 'this totally crazy thing happened that the autopilot could never have predicted and 100% of human drivers would have failed too'.

The hard truth is a lot of people are going to die in the process of self-driving vehicles reaching maturity. This truth is not politically tenable for any party to admit.

The real risk in this pattern of accidents followed by blame avoidance is that valuable lessons might not be learned from incidents. The aviation industry accident investigation process went through a very similar early life and many lives were lost unnecessarily before it matured into the robust, root-cause-driven, appropriately powerful system it is today. That was what it took for aviation safety to reach what I think most would agree is a suitable level of governance, and TBH I think autonomous vehicles are going to need to go through this same process and will hopefully get to a similar level of maturity without the loss of too many lives.
A link to the chrome extension on the landing page would be quite useful (Otherwise visitors need to go to the chrome web store and search for it...and some of them are too lazy to do it). But otherwise I really like the idea. I'll give it a try ;)

Really not looking forward to this change in tipping. One thing I really love about services like this is that I don't have to worry about dealing with tips.

They already have ratings, why not just adjust pay based on driver ratings? That seems much more "fare" to me (ba-dum-ching).

Also, are drivers now going to be able to rate me based on my tip?
The dividing line would be the requirement for all contracts to be equivalent and traded on a venue. So an expiration date is probably a requirement. I have a hard time imagining such an open ended contract.
