Yes, that gave me a stop too. I mean, a prominent researcher, Nobel laureate no less, writes this, what is the conclusion? Anybody who doubts it is a quack, a charlatan, at best - and a "denier", an underminer of science, an evil incarnate at worst.

And then turns out - oops, these conclusion are not well-supported and not that scientific in fact. And those who doubted it were actually correct. Does it mean anybody who doubts anything is correct? Surely not. Does it mean we should be a bit more careful with statements like "belief is not optional" and following condemnation of those who fails to comply? I think yes.
I read that as saying they couldn't stop her from wearing the hijab, which limits their options. Reading the article, it seems like the other deaths were caused by bad LOTO (lock out tag out) practices and one was some kind of traffic accident.

If it were me, I'd look at ways to avoid normalization of deviance. Maybe those with loose clothing can be given other things to wear or put into other roles. Factory jobs are inherently crappy and employers generally given you the legal minimums, as I know from direct experience. It's best to figure out ways to make complying with the rules easier so that most companies and most workers are complying with the law most of the time, but it's hard to give clear answers on how to do that. Hopefully things continue to improve. I'm sure there's a lot of room for it.
What is with Yankees and the persistent myth of the singular "y'all".

Not sure why you're getting downvoyed because it's a good point. How in the world do you let a computer vision decision override the other sensors that are saying "massive wall is moving in front of the car"? And who tf thought training the CV only on the backs of cars was good enough? The edge cases are what cause accidents, not the typical situations.
Completely agree. It scares me to dig into research papers and to find very obvious mistakes (anyone at a graduate level is capable of this) and even worse to see how heavily seasoned some of the horrific datasets are.

This kind of stuff despite those flaws gets propagated without much skepticism. It makes me wonder how much stuff we "know" to be true is the result of an intuitive argument but has no real support.

If it's another thing with a connection to a carrier network, it's another thing you have to pay an additional monthly fee for on all US carriers. I'd wager Apple is negotiating 'discount' 2nd/3rd/4th line rates with the carriers that will sell the Apple Watch in their retail locations, so it may be less than adding another full line on some carriers.

The first question should really be: "Is autopilot+human drivers safer than human drivers alone?" If it isn't, it would be arguably criminal to allow drivers access to it. As with most technological breakthroughs, there will be a learning curve (euphemism for death in a car crash in this case). As long as it is an improvement over human drivers, it is a net good, I would argue. From this perspective, even if Tesla is releasing a system with flaws, it is BETTER than the alternative: more humans dying by driving their own cars. Imagine if they waited to release a more perfect autopilot system, wouldn't that be keeping a valuable safety system off the road?

This is only true, of course, if autopilot is actually safer than a human. From what I have read, there is little data to support either conclusion. Lacking proof that such a system is actually safer, Tesla should take the conservative engineering decision and reduce or eliminate drivers' access to such a system until enough data is available to make a conclusive statement on safety.
I looked at T-Mobile's site after the announcement, and they list $10/month for "wearables". Until more details come out, I'm going to assume that's directed at the Apple Watch (can't think of any other wearables that have a SIM. EDIT: apparently Samsung: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15229591). No word on what a standalone watch would cost, but I think it a safe assumption that it would be what a single mobile phone line would cost.
> What good would that header do?

It would protect against MitM attacks where the attacker has fraudulently obtained a non-EV certificate, such as through CA compromise or a BGP attack, especially since EV certs are required to have CT log entries. I guess since Expect-CT already solves this, Expect-EV may not be that helpful.

>EV certificates are not available to everyone.

I agree this is a problem. EV should be available to anyone anywhere willing and able to prove their legal identity, be it a person or an organization. Then if someone uses EV to phish, they can be held accountable.

>how do you enforce a requirement like that

If this becomes standard, then we can train users to expect EV indicators when asked for payment data. Any site asking for it without EV would automatically become out-of-the-norm.

A system that guarantees you full memory safety in C/C++ would probably force you to use programming patterns that are much easier in Rust. At some point you'd essentially be writing Rust code in C/C++ with worse tooling and worse syntax-fit.

On the other hand, if you know that the technology is not completely infallible, but better than humans in a general sense and will save lives by releasing it, wouldn't you be morally obligated to do so? Wouldn't holding it back even though it would save lives be worse?

> Sometimes stress can peak and when that happens I just take a nap until it dissipates. Usually just 30 mins but there are times when it can take an hour or more. Again, I view the nap as doing work because often I wake up with a simpler solution that also has much less stress.

Here I thought I was the only one. Thanks for sharing. I find work to be pretty stress-inducing for some obscure psychological reasons; taking an occasional nap to reboot the stress meter is a solution my body arrived at.

I mostly agree and I wonder how long until incidents like these start eroding public trust. I fully believe that fully autonomous driving can and will bring a whole new paradigm to transportation in the US, but it won't happen if we try to rush something so critical.
>>Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the main issue was that papers were being replicated, but the results weren't being published (especially if they were negative). These problems were always being discovered, but the record was never being corrected.

You may be right, but that's basically the same thing (and as you have sort of pointed out, it's not possible to tell either way).

I have a 30 mile one way commute, a lot of it is in stop and go. A major stress in stop and go is actually braking and speeding up all the time. With AP you can simply let the car do the slow down and speed up while you focus on the road ahead. Also, when you are on a road trip and in rural highways with very few cars around it is easier to let the car drive as you are not continually focused on maintaining speed and keeping the car within lanes.
Because I've been socially and culturally conditioned to, and no matter how much I can rationally justify that what other people think doesn't matter (which isn't entirely true), that doesn't mean I can emotionally accept that without angst.

Put another way, it's not rational to ignore how you think you will respond to social pressure just because you think you shouldn't respond that way to the pressure. The human mind is not so simple as that.
> Apple identified and fixed these bugs 2 major releases ago.

Huh. Did they pass the information back to the relevant vendors, or just keep it in their toolbox for when they needed to say "See, Android is so insecure!"?

Edit: this is probably snarkier than it should be, but without reading a 30+ page white paper on my phone these seem to be OS and library issues not chipset issues. Did Apple do a big Bluetooth fix on their own stuff, or are they using (and fixing) some of the same libraries without passing vulnerabilities back to the library maintainers? I don't follow Apple enough to know.

AFAICT, the main problem is that android doesn't force the autofill provider to partition data according to which application is in use, in the same way that you would expect them to be partitioned based on domain name on the web.

However, the information (application_id) is provided to the autofill provider, so it's not really fair to say that android itself is vulnerable: specific implementations of the provider may be vulnerable. Even if android could protect against this specific issue, you're still going to be placing a lot of trust in the autofill provider.

It can't be marginally better than humans, it has to be an order of magnitude or more better. Humans are irrational, and incidents like this erode public trust.

I got the update from Sony while I was reading the post. It's an Xperia X Compact and they've made a good job so far. Almost an update per month, it started with Android 6 and it's on Android 7.1.1 now, September patch level, which is safe according to the post.

Bluez for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS instead is old, from March 2016. There is a newer Bluez from August 2017 but it's probably for newer versions of Ubuntu. I hope they patch it quickly for everybody.
The internal messaging is the same as external: "buisness is strong, we continue to execute as we did, looking for a new ceo".

However, if you read between the lines, it sounds like the board might have been looking for an excuse to oust Mike, who preferred high risk ventures and expansions, and replace him with someone experienced in bringing companies to an IPO.

If you're into deep space astrophotography, this is not really news.

It's all about exposing for the stuff you care about. When imaging DSOs (deep space objects), you often don't care about the relatively bright stars nearby. But you do care about that faint little object in between. So you adjust exposure so the stars are usually blown out (overexposed), but the DSO along with the light pollution background have peeled off the left hand edge of the histogram.

So now your DSO is sitting comfortably in the middle of the histogram, where you can process and extract it easily.

In practical terms, for DSOs you tweak exposure until the big light pollution hump on the histogram becomes disconnected from the left hand edge of the graph. Turn exposure up gradually until there's a gap at the left hand wall. That usually does it. Overexposure is bad, but underexposure is super-duper-evil, so you must avoid it. OTOH, don't push things too far to the right - you still want some chroma info in the star halos.
Not if you do a 1031 exchange. In that case, you never pay taxes on the depreciation.

It just basically becomes a snowball, you keep on upgrading properties.
A more apt analogy is imagine you are selling 1000 widgets @ $10 that you bought for $9 in two different countries.

One country taxes you 20% but you can't mark down the depreciation of the building you're using so you're taxed $200 of your $1000.

The other country taxes you 30% but you get to mark down the $500 depreciation of the building you're using as an expense so instead you record $500 profit. Which means you're taxed $150.

You can see how even though the statutory tax rate is higher in the first country the effective tax rate is lower in the second.

Different tax jurisdictions have different allowable expenses and deductions, which mean your recorded profit can be different between them. The U.S. has an especially high statutory rate, but also allows for many more deductions and expenses than other countries. The effective tax is how you take into account these differences in deductions and expenses between countries, and the U.S. has one that is in the middle of the pack.
I've switched to Bluetooth earphones for my daily run. Still have to carry the phone though, which I hate.

An Apple Watch that can play my music through my Bluetooth earphones is a game changer for me.
It's a tough thing to weigh however when it's perhaps "better than humans" in 98% of situations, but "on par with" or perhaps even "worse than humans" for the remaining 2%. That's where it gets sketchy to me, at least.

That said, I'm casually in the market for a Tesla (ideally pre-owned) and one of the features I'd require is the latest auto-pilot hardware. I'd definitely make use of it right away too -- but I'd do so with the understanding that it is far from infallible, and that I still need to keep substantially all of my attention trained to the road just as I would in any other non-autopilot vehicle.

I learned how to implement Lisp by reading the source code for multiple compilers. Started with Franz Lisp, then KCL and CMUCL. I don't feel that a toy interpreter is going to teach the same things.
I think it's multivariate. The rise of for-profit publishers certainly plays a large role, as does tenure track limitations, the booming business of education, and just the general pushback against openness. People fear the sunlight, no matter what "science" is supposed to be about.

I don't think it's any one thing or that there's an easy fix. For my part, I refuse to publish in non-OA journals and strongly prefer those who require/strongly encourage both open data and open peer review. PeerJ is one such journal which also features very fast time to first decision AND low fees. I cannot recommend them enough.
My graduate advisor told me that I should be designing experiments that had counterintuitive results that were solidly significant.

Dyslexia simply means having trouble learning to read. Being diagnosed with dyslexia does not give any indication as to the cause of the dyslexia. The formal definition in the DSM-5 is:

You have to prove to the IRS that the asset is used 100% for work. If it's not 100%, you have to show documentation for arriving at that specific interpretation of a split. That's why buying a whole house to live in and writing it off won't work, but claiming 10% of the square footage of the house that's used for business (and business only) will.

Unless you feel very comfortable with IRS regulations and annual changes in them, you have to pay a business CPA to run the numbers, and in many cases the added complexity is just not worth it.
The reality is that genuinely interesting, productive and novel results are hard to produce. Even for teams of highly intelligent researchers. The scientific industry is built on the assumption that such results are in greater supply - or more accessible - than they actually are.
While the statement is true, I have almost 2GB of RAM left before opening Atom. My OS says it's fine (although I know it writes more stuff to SSD)

Self-Publishing, Blockchain for Books, Publica.io?
Hello
I have heard about the blockchain in publishing before and I was kinda scared of it but after doing a bit of a research I changed my mind – the technology might help to create more open environment for writers. As I know there is a start-up called Publica.io and they want to develop usage of blockchain in industry. To be honest, now it sounds like they are going to build a new world but by knowing how technologies are moving forward, it would be awesome! And what’s good, they have a community forum, where they post useful info about blockchain and other topics connected with it:
https://community.publica.io

I would like to hear your opinions :)
that's not exactly ditching phone all together..

EDIT: All good :) Actually right now my phone already has minimum number of apps installed exactly in attempt to avoid unnecesary use/distractions, with watch only it may be even better (plus one less thing to carry (pocket or not))
There was a huge effort by Microsoft to squelch Linux on the desktop.

The greatest threat came when Asus introduced a Linux subnotebook, the EeePC 2G Surf, which not only ran Linux, but could not run Windows. At the time, Microsoft was pushing Vista and killing off XP. But Vista needed more hardware than subnotebooks of the time offered. This led PC makers to offer Linux-only systems. Microsoft's strategy to move people to Vista was threatened.

Microsoft's response was to extend the life of XP as an OEM-installable OS, but only on "little" machines. There was a maximum allowed screen size, CPU speed, and disk size for an OEM XP install on a subnotebook. Then Microsoft pushed hard for vendors and retailers to put "Dell/Asus/HP/etc recommends Microsoft Windows" on their web sites, and deemphasize Linux. This was enforced by terms in the OEM licensing arrangement for manufacturers and the retail kickback arrangement for retailers.
