I figured that "do not copy" label was for the key cutting people to see and deter them from copying it. But I'm not sure if anyone really follows those labels.

I get my keys cut at a convenience store down the street. Key cutting is not exactly a sophisticated service market run by specialists. So I doubt there is much stringent ethical procedures or industry reputations to lean on.

Meanwhile someone copying fobs in Toronto for people was publically shamed, which is silly because anyone can buy an RFID copier on Amazon for $30. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/condo-key-fob-copy-1.4...

> When they crash, who's at fault the driver or the manufacturer?

If they crash due to a manufacturing defect, the manufacturer is liable; If they crash due to operator negligence, the operator is liable; if both factors are involved, both may be (potentially fully, in each case) liable, and in various circumstances the vehicle owner and/or driver's employer may also be liable.

At least, that's how it is with non-automated vehicles, but I see no reason the same rules don't work fine for automated vehicles.

> Can the developer be sued for negligent homicide/vehicular manslaughter because the software had a bug?

Generally, vehicular manslaughter is a special offense that applies only to vehicle operators. Anything from negligent homicide up through depraved heart murder could, in principle, be applicable to software (or other) defect, depending on knowledge and other factors.

Google scrapes several of my sites and I've never given Google explicit permission to do so.
While I applaud creating documentation, books, and guides for those new to the language, there's still a significant accessibility gap in resources. I already know the language, I've already done some basic stuff in phoenix, I've even made my own HTTP API wrapper as its own library. But when it comes to architecting backend systems that aren't tied to phoenix or playing around with IEx, I really feel like I am on my own.

There are erlang books, of which I am reading, though it feels like there's always emphasis on history for backwards compatibility and the other warts that Erlang has with its age. I'd like to design reliable systems that operate outside of the classic HTTP -> Elixir -> Database pattern. Things that involve working in memory, processing queues, managing sessions and state, patterns for fallbacks and breakers for services, and so on, that is where I seek more content.

Unfortunately I hear the big BEAM player around, Basho, is shutting the lights--so I can't expect to witness the wonderful presentations their engineers provide at conferences or through recordings of such conferences.

Erlang/OTP 20 came out June 21[0], so about 5 weeks ago.
Makes sense though, Eliir 1.5 was waiting for final release of OTP, and Phoenix was waiting on final release of Elixir, but they'd all had very stable preview releases for a while, so it wasn't a ton of work left on any of them, just finalizing and testing I imagine. I'm super excited to get my side project[1] upgraded to 1.5 and see the new dev conveniences!

It is both different, and not different.

No, your average nuclear plant doesn't have the makings of an atom bomb. But countries that are running nuclear power plants have an obvious incentive to create enrichment facilities for their nuclear power. These facilities are similar to those that enrich further for a nuclear bomb. Several countries have achieved nuclear bombs this way.

Furthermore nuclear plants do not all work the same way. There are advocates of thorium nuclear plants, because thorium is a much more abundant fuel source that should be able to operate more cleanly than uranium. However those plants generate uranium-233 which can be potentially separated through chemical processes in plants that are a lot easier to hide than centrifuges used for enrichment.

Both ways, nuclear power can be a step on the way to nuclear proliferation.
the thing is that there are laws about some of these sorts of things, they applied before 3D printing came along, and they usually apply to 3D printing too.

One philosophical question I have been wondering recently is whether this problem could not be addressed by removing "real life" identity from the equation.

I don't think personalized ads would be nearly as obnoxious if I knew that the ad matches my browsing history but has nothing to do what name shows up on my passport.

Most of what people seem to take issue with is their personal identity in addition to the tracking.

The tracking for the purposes of relevant ads would be identical from the perspective of the advertiser (efficient/profitable) but much more private for the user.
I understand blaming Apple but this dude also had a choice about whether he shared the information he found. He chose to go the opportunistic route to get himself some publicity.

So, what's the harm? The harm is every copycat company from Samsung and Google on down now get a jump on feverishly revising their roadmap to get ahead of solid Apple ideas with gimmicky "improvements", instead of coming up with their own deep innovations. Sure, some of them would have found this stuff anyway but maybe not all of them.

The interviewer for candidate 1 isn't very technically proficient. In the "if the array was too big to fit in memory" case (where "disk" is explicitly mentioned), the proposed solution starts by moving the disk head from track 1 to track N, then back to track 2, then track N-1, 3, N-2, etc., oscillating until it stops at track N/2. That takes a grand total of O(N^2) seek time. The correct solution is to do one sequential pass over the file to count the a's and b's, and then a second pass to write the proper number of a's followed by b's, which takes O(N) total head-movement time (which dominates everything else).
> mixed public private medical systems etc

Not a yank, have no knowledge of the US medical system.

In my own country the public system is single-payer with a user-pays "gap" in billing to disencentivise unnecessary treatments.

Private hospitals / providers exist in paralel with the public system.

That's some fine hyperbole.
Does anyone know (or provide link) to current worker salary, benefits and work rules?

I would bet they already have adopted most of the obvious union won rules such as tenure, scheduling, overtime, sick leave, time off, differential, bidding, etc...

My experience says union national leadership cares #1 about membership; #2-100 everything else

Once they have withdrawn permission, they can call the police and you can be charged with trespass, though that's usually a misdemeanor rather than a felony.
Yeah :).
Does anyone have more information on this topic? I am never sure if this is snake oil market or not.
I would replace the word "convinces" with "deceives". If you deceive a person into, for example, giving them access and permission to use your personal contact list however they please, then proceed to do just that, you don't have anything to complain about.

Hell no. Not even close.

What kind of terrible places have you worked? If you ever experience anything close to this level of abuse you should report it if possible, and if nothing changes, quit.
We have thought quite a bit about this and decided not to go down this route because we weren't sure if hiring managers would actually have the time to listen to a 1-hour conversation. Also, would it help if the identity of the candidate (resume data) and the interviewer's profile is available (so that it's more credible)?
From a non-legal perspective, this is a battle of employers vs employees rights. Do employers have the right to (in a sense) spy on their employees, watching their every move to see if they want to switch jobs?
To the extent to which that is the case, though, it isn't due to the terms of service; and that is also a case of how you are using the data for later, which is a separate question from the scraping and collection process: it is very clear to me that a search engine is operating on the legal equivalent of thin ice, particularly with details like snippets and synthesis ;P. Whether the CFAA applies (as indicated in this article) is an open question, but that just isn't quite so obvious as "you also can't connect up to the public sewer".

I really appreciate this research program. Mathematics and physics have had such a fruitful relationship and this won't be any different. A common language, the ability to make precise analogies. Modern science is much like the tower of Babel, scattering the tribes with their disparate languages. Fundamental mathematical research like this is the only chance to bring them together.

> When you're casting a vote on paper, it's pretty easy to check that your vote is not being observed.

One thing I've been thinking about lately, is that while we all probably have better intuition for "protecting" our paper vote, I'm not convinced that the huge advances in monitoring technology, covert and generally available, hasn't to an extent invalidated this somewhat.

You really only need to be able to read some markings on paper (in IR, via some kind of fairly low resolution x-ray, what have you) - with the voter (eg: general camera surveillance showing a person entering a voting booth) - in order to monitor a vote. It's certainly much higher demand on manpower to do it, but I don't think it should be discounted - the payoff will be proportional to the power wielded by the public office being elected for.

So while I think "lets do electronic voting!" is a crazy blanked-statement to make in order to improve security, I don't think we should be so certain analog voting is as secure today, as it was in the 80s and earlier.

3) That's wonderful until you get a string of overcast days and your batteries discharge. Then you need grid backup.

Can I ask an honest, albeit admittedly cynical, question?

In a world run by libertarian capitalists, what good comes from such studies? I know such things can be used to determine policy. But let's say that in turns out cytokines do, in fact, cause CFS, and that -- for the sake of argument -- banning them would be a good thing.

How would this newfound knowledge go from being something known to having action taken upon it? Libertarian capitalism has come to dominate every discussion of this kind. If an action requires regulatory or legislative action, the modern capitalist opposes it outright, even if the outcome would be demonstrably good.

Please forgive if this is off-topic, but it is frustrating seeing such well-done science that seemingly has no one of similar professionalism in the political realm to apply that knowledge in a way that makes society better off.
>Civilian nuclear plants where designed, built, and operated to reduce the costs of nuclear weapons.

ARPANET was designed, built, and operated to enable the exchange of information in the face of nuclear annihilation of cities.

The big famous radio dish on top of the hill behind Stanford and the signals research that went into it was placed there to look for anti-ICBM radar signals bouncing off of the moon from Russia.

We are standing on a mountain of tech based on research driven by the cold war. Nuclear energy is no different.
Yes, I'd say they are similar in that they also pre-vet candidates. One major difference is that we are more personalized to each candidate as we can match them to a senior engineer in their field (or field they are looking to enter). I think this should result in a more tailored and useful experience for the candidate (interview prep and feedback relevant for the role they want).

Also, our interviewers are independent, so there's no risk of conflict of interest or bias. My understanding of TB is that they do the interviews in house with their own engineers, or people they contract.
It used to be that these kinds of protocols would be reversed and reimplemented pretty quickly. See Pidgin (GAIM) and countless other instant messengers. I wonder what's happened - I see a lot less reverse engineering going on these days.
