I don't know of the guy, or his politics, or even your politics. But, I thought the outrage in your comment was interesting.

Is it really all that inconsistent for a person to be a participant in something while also wanting to see it change to be more just and fair? Don't pretty much all people behave like that?

Most people that I know wouldn't voluntarily self-limit themselves unless they knew that most others around them were also planning to do the same. Not all people are meant to be brave and heroic. But, that doesn't mean that those people won't accept the change when the change comes.

Here's what the Attorney General - the government counsel - argued

> He said that in developing countries, something as amorphous as privacy could not be a fundamental right, that other fundamental rights such as food, clothing, shelter etc. override the right to privacy.

It's a question which has alway bothered me. What happens when two fundamental rights clash with each other?

There's a lot of misunderstanding about self-driving. Mostly because nobody is publishing much.

If you want to do it right, you start with geometry. The first step is capturing range imagery and grinding it down to a 3D model of the world. This tells you where you physically can go. That's where we were at the DARPA Grand Challenge over a decade ago.

Then comes moving object popout. What out there isn't a stationary obstacle? That comes from processing multiple frames and range rate data from radars. Moving objects have to be tracked.

Only then does object recognition come into play. Moving objects should be classified if possible, and fixed objects of special interest (signs, barricades, etc.) identified. Not all objects will be identified, but that's OK. If it can't be identified and it's moving, you have to assume the worst case - it's vulnerable and it doesn't follow the road rules. This will force a slowdown and careful maneuvering around the unknown object. (See Chris Urmson's SXSW video of their vehicle encountering someone in a powered wheelchair chasing a duck with a broom.)

Predicting the behavior of moving objects is a big part of handling heavy traffic. That's what Google is working hard on now.

Machine learning is a part of this, but not the whole thing. You can't really trust machine learning; it's a statistical method and sometimes it will be totally wrong. You can trust geometry.

If you want to do it wrong, you start out with lane keeping and smart cruise control, tack on recognition of common objects, throw in some machine learning and hope for the best. This produced the Tesla self-crashing car, noted for running into unusual obstacles which partially block the lane and for trusting lane markings way too much. Look closely at the videos from Tesla and Cruise, slowing them down to real time. They speed them up so you can't easily see how bad the object recognition is.
illumos is the repo of record for OpenZFS[1], which is the community fork of OpenSolaris' ZFS (which is now proprietary). Most of the really cool new features are in OpenZFS because it has far more developer involvement (from FreeBSD, illumos, etc).

It says a lot about where we are headed that the Supreme Court had to say this.
It isn't better than those categorically. But it's definitely better than them for building a multi-process desktop.

"better" depends on what you are trying to do.

Of course CORBA and SOAP are considered old and horrible now, 15 years later. But currently-popular stuff is in many ways equally unsuited to coordination of local desktop processes, because it's not designed for that.

They started btrfs several years before they acquired Sun and ZFS with it. Why they continued with it is unclear, presumably a combination of inertia and not wanting to relicense it for other Linux's to be able to ship with.

The main point is that having stuff delivered is the major risk. Using Tor through nested VPN chains is easy. I can't imagine "quadracopter mesh network". That would attract too much attention, I think.
2 mil. really isn't all that much. He would blow it quite fast if he lived how you described.
Because it provides a unique reference point. If there wasn't such a a reference point, there is a risk that the production branch of programmers becomes desynchronized.

It is easier and safer to have n developpers synchronizing to one reference repository, than to keep n developpers and repositories synchronized with each other.
One of the major problems is we were told our current reactors would provide safe and environmentally fuel. The trouble is it's not as clean as most people think.

Mining Uranium ore does have a significant environmental impact. There have been leaks at plants; trace amounts of tritium has been found around breeder reactors like Watts Bar (and TVA has bought up more and more of the land around the area).

The waste, currently held on site at most plants, is another big issue. Engineers will tell you it's depleted and encased in half a meter of concrete that won't break down for tens of thousands of years. Some of these containers are already leaking. There have been several recent controversies recently on the Yukka Mountain facility.

While newer reactors may not have these problems, the fact is there are problems we weren't aware up that cropped up from our traditional Boiling/Pressurized Water Reactors that companies will not fess up to. That's why people are apprehensive.

I don't think that will go away unless someone discovered how to make Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs) viable .. which would also involve understanding how/why they world, and getting them to work consistently (which no one has).
This has nothing to do with net neutrality. Google is giving you the option to use their private network (which is the default) all the way to the edge, or to stop using it after the local region. They're not discriminating traffic based on it's content or who you are.

It's the same as installing a direct line from your house to Google's DC. It's a private network that you pay more for, or you can just use the internet.
I think it makes sense why people compete on experiences. Can you really differentiate how much you're learning between the top 50 (or even 300) schools? It really depends on personal motivation.

And in terms of non-educational successes, the school name alone often provides the value, and since it's virtually impossible get an exact value, schools compete on other factors.

Combined with the fact students are more and more willing to go further away from home to get a degree, you need to offer something more than education. Going to a good school (and doing the work) will be challenging regardless of where it is, and I think most people realize this at some level -- so you look for the place that will make you happy otherwise. Slogging through finals week anywhere is tough, but it's hell if you also hate the school you're at and wish you were somewhere else.

As far as the "university model" -- it's got problems, definitely. But the value of the top schools has always been the name. Consider that graduates of top schools are so overrepresented in the highest levels of both the public and private sector, it will be hard to break the cycle of top-down everyone buying into the idea of a 4 year degree. It will probably happen at some point, but it seems slow going.

The biggest schools (especially R1-level unis) fare much better in terms of providing funding and aid to students, so they aren't always as cost prohibitive as many for profit schools are (where the vast majority of student loan debt is tied up).
It's not a prisoner's dilemma at all. There are plenty of humans trying to change, and several countries. Herein lies the problem with game theory - it reduces human behaviour to absurdly simplistic levels.
Not fixed employees but sometimes under contract for either a certain sex type or as a whole for a certain time.

Nowadays the girls escalate, they start with very regular stuff, not doing anal, gangbangs etc. in the beginning but grow their fan base until the studios start to bid eg for her first "blow bang" and pay a lot more to have her not doing some sex type with another studio for a certain amount of time.

If you are not able to grow your fan base fast as a model, you will not be able to demand higher rates. There are even companies specializing in social media consulting for porn stars.
No, they split when Oracle bought Sun. The only part of OpenZFS, which everything but Solaris uses, that involves Oracle is a number of patents that the CDDL grants permission to use.
I think it comes down to whether citizens are coerced to part with their personal information or not. If I need access to state programs of food, clothing, shelter, I should be willing to abide by regulations that make it easier to deliver these benefits.

Aadhaar as of now is a direct coercion to part with biometrics and has inadequate features to protect against identity theft. Not having aadhaar means not getting driving license, passport, marriage license etc.

Looking at the BTS statistics:

https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/pu...

you can see that 95% of railroad fatalities are classified as either "Trespassers" or "Highway–rail grade crossing". In both of those cases it seems likely that the victims are generally not actually passengers on the train, but rather are people doing something obviously dangerous near railroad tracks.

(Also the denominator wasn't clear for the quoted statistic: is it per passenger-mile, or per vehicle-mile? In any case here is a sensible denominator: https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/pu...)
As an aside, this is a decent example of why some people oppose bills of rights. As I understand it, the argument is that a bill of rights is considered exhaustive; if it's not in the bill, it's not protected.

By contrast, countries without a bill of rights are free to interpret their constitutions through implied rights, in ways that make sense in the context and allow the constitution to adapt to new or developing circumstances.

See for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_constitutional_law#...

Not entirely sure which side of that argument I'd sit on.
Beacuse when the state/proletariat steals from from the rich and gives away the loot to everyone else, the recipients of the loot are esentially the thief's accomplice, therefore stealing is okay. Also there is little to no private property, so taking out of the collective good is not technically stealing, like pandaman exemplified with the Russian proverbs above.

Maybe their basic needs were provided when everything was nice and rosy, after they looted. But when the economic situation went south, then you've got food rations, curfew and other stuff that is only appropriate during wartime. Also add arbitrary justice to that. For instance you were entitled to a 250g pack of butter, a box of eight eggs, a glass of oil every month and a bread every day. This happened while the ones in power were more equal than the rest. Yes, that's only providing basic needs and people were sick of it. So everyone stole from work. They stole food, they stole screws, they stole lamp oil just in case the electricity went off. They stole whatever they could lay their hands on. Some of the people stole just to get back at the commies who robbed their elderly relatives and then integrated them into the new and great communist society.
Elsewhere in this thread, it's been stated that the IPCC has omitted runaway positive-feedback loop scenarios from their predictions, either because they're too poorly understood, or because they're too depressing.

Illumos is a fork of OpenSolaris: https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/illumos+Home

I assume the counter-argument would be that a way should be found to provide food, clothing, shelter, etc., without violating privacy.

The implication seems to be that it's the collection of personal information in excess of that needed to perform the function appropriately - why do you need iris scans and fingerprints, when a name and a photo would arguably be sufficient?

Self driving cars is based on machine learning which is basically processing massive amounts of past data. This is great for routine situations and it seems Waymo is making good progress covering most of these. However the key weakness is the lack of true intelligence. When anything unusual or unexpected happens, the best it can do is simply safely shutdown and wait for a human to intervene. And the car can't really analyze and understand its environment because that requires intelligence.

It seems a best of both worlds solution would be a new type of job: Data gathering driver. It would be basically like the Google Streetview cars, but with much more sensors and input from the driver. These drivers would be assigned neighborhoods to drive through and note anything unusual or noteworthy. Stop sign is down because of last night's storm? Driver notes this and now all Waymo cars know. Street closed due to construction? All Waymo cars will avoid that street. This type of data requires intelligence to analyze and understand and it would be fed into the Waymo system for all self driving cars to benefit from it. There could be millions of self driving cars and a few thousands of these drivers feeding daily updated data to the system. You could even increase the frequency of the drivers depending on weather conditions. Maybe if there's a storm, the drivers keep driving in a loop hourly instead of once daily.

It's hard to tell.
1. I can't find the 11.3 billion statistic on the Wikipedia page.
2. The stats seem to be per vehicle mile. An average train carries maybe 100 times as many people as a car. If the people on the train were driving cars there'd be 100 times more vehicle miles.
3. Are people who commit suicide by jumping in front of a train counted in the statistics? It seems that if there were no trains, some of those people would find an alternative, so it might be unfair to include them.

I shouldn't even have to post about "Textured Wheat Protein" but it's essentially another denatured protein, one that is completely doused in glyphosate right before harvest. That's the main ingredient of these "burgers.""

It should be noted that making meat substitutes out of wheat protein is nothing new, and it's accessible to the home cook, not something that has to be done in a lab. If you don't believe me, look up recipes for homemade seitan.

Your argument resonates with me, but at the same time this is a classical case of judging someone for trying, but not hard enough.

Not trying to help eg the homeless is ok, nobody helps the homeless. Trying to help some of them but not all will yield huge public outcry. Unfair! Hypocritical! Still, it's better than not trying at all.

It's very well possible that Roy really has been trying to make the world a little bit better - much more than most consultancy CEOs to be sure. But not hard enough and so people write comments like yours.

Hybrid VS Native Mobile App Development- Which One to Choose
I've watched those shows and enjoyed them but I feel like they're becoming redundant so it would probably be a good thing if netflix was forced to do truly original content. The whole superhero thing is growing stale for me anyway, and I suspect for a lot of others as well.
I kind of got lost on the first sentence: "With a lifetime of observing the world informing our perceptions, we’re all pretty good at inferring the overall shape of something we only see from the side, or for a brief moment. Computers, however, are just plain bad at it."

I'm good at inferring the shape of something from a side view well enough that I can use it in some kludgy mental models, but down the page they're essentially asking the computer to look at something from the side and render a precise(ish) 3-D mechanical model of the object from memory. For example, I have what I think is a pretty good idea of what a Boeing 737 looks like, but if you asked me to draw it on a piece of paper it would look like a kinder gardener did it. What I'm good at is boiling down features and distinguishing a 737 from an Oscar Meyer wiener truck. Drawing a scale-accurate picture of it is a job for artists and savants.

What prevents the developers from building their own exploits for an easy retirement?
This is a bit of a tangent, but I think it's important to remember that a huge corporation like Oracle has quite a different decision making process than individuals.

Yes, one devision of Oracle owns, maintains and develops ZFS. But one of the many other divisions (maybe for historical reasons, maybe because it was acquired and never migrated, ...) might use btrfs, and it makes sense for them to pour manpower into it, even if that could be perceived as somewhat of a competition to ZFS.

My main point is that big organizations naturally tend to do things that look conflicting from the outside, just because they are too large to be efficiently standardized.
