They implemented what looks like the Rust ownership model: SE-0176 Enforce Exclusive Access to Memory (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposa...), but I'm having a hard time understanding the proposal, can anyone shed some light on this?
Checked the software stack, it's basically: Yocto(OS framework) + Tizen(application framework) + Genivi(infotainment). Yocto is totally over-engineered and only RTOS vendors really enjoy it as they can sell services on top of that, it's a nightmare for small players, they should just use Buildroot the alternative to save money and time. Tizen has never reached what it wanted to be, partially because of Android. Genivi has been around for a few years but I have yet to see it took any market share on the infotainment side, many infotainment systems are just using Android instead as well.

Actually because Camry is using this stack, my next car will certainly not be it. How am I going to upgrade the kernel with patches every few weeks?
Ah, so if I understand correctly, you could detect message eavesdropping as follows:

1. We agree ahead of time to always observe the first digit of magic papers first.

2. I send you a message that includes eavesdropping-detecting magic pieces of paper

3. We then compare what you measured as first digits to what I measured as first digits

4. If the digits do not match, it means someone eavesdropped on the magic pieces of paper I sent and observed the wrong digits first.

But then aren't we back to the same secret distribution problem, where the secret is which digit we should observe first on magic papers?
Not trying to be snarky - serious question: if you feel that way, what's stopping you? I've often contemplated what I would do if the US leans further left, and sadly, there aren't a lot of other places to go where I can have guns, freedom of speech (although in a lot of places people have been protesting against that lately, because they believe it should only apply to speech that's not horrible), and a private-business dominated economy. Looking in the other direction, there are a ton of places where you can get super-tight gun laws, a huge welfare state, and a government dominated economy ... so why not pick one and go?
It is hard to take the author seriously, or as an authority, when he rejects materialism and states something like "Physical death is merely a de-clenching of awareness", and he believes in the afterlife.
no doubt, but when a person makes a suggestion to move closer to a stricter market based system, the inequality of that solution must be made clear.

In my view, the two dynamics are incredibly intertwined. The sensation is largely made up of and intertwined with an understanding of what the sensation _means_.

I'll try to give an example:

Think of a complex modern art painting. It's much more difficult to perceive the colors used in the painting, as the boundaries between different parts and components of the painting are far less meaningful or distinguishable, compared to most objects we encounter.

When you look around your kitchen, the sensations of color are nearly instantaneously associated with rich semantic information about the various objects. E.g. that red object is the "top" of the "peanut butter" "jar" that "I" "bought" "last week" (this is the tip of the semantic iceberg). This makes it easy to hold onto that perception -- it is able to quickly take root in a rich semantic soil that the brain has been developing over our entire lives.

This doesn't happen with a messy, semantically-limited perception like looking at a modern art painting. Sure, we can focus very hard to isolate the different streaks and blurs and blobs of color, but it is noticeably more difficult.

With an infant, as their semantic soil is very shallow compared to an adults (or even a young child), I imagine that their perception of the world is perhaps more like a modern art painting. Slowly, the colorful blurs and blob and smells and sounds take on meaning as the infant learns about the world and builds up an understanding of the complex patterns in life.
I think a good job is done on the various ways to look at it. My personal view is that in general I am against it, though: I think there shouldn't be backdoors.

I agree, but for a different reason. Excess fat is an endocrine disruptor: adipose tissue makes Aromatase [1], which converts testosterone -> estrogen.

Adipose tissue is the greatest peripheral
source of aromatase in both males and
females,[citation needed] contributing
to the production of estradiol.

What about that quote implies binge drinking? As far as I'm aware you can get drunk without "binging", and teenagers don't drink alcohol because they like good whiskey or appreciate fine wines, they drink to get drunk.

Environmentalism is often just a stated preference. Like humans shouldn't disturb some thing.

So it isn't necessarily the case that you need to be more knowledgeable to challenge them. Availability of inexpensive energy without burning coal is another preference.

I certainly have reached the point where I think popular environmentalism is waaaaay too focused on static conservation.

Are there any pointers on how to work around this?

I think a large part of our problem is that we are using Ganeti for most of our VMs, rather than something supported native by AWX like OpenStack/EC2/Azure. I have an inventory script we have been using, but couldn't get it to run in AWX due to AWS credentials not being made available in a way that boto recognized (the inventory is pulled both from Ganeti and EC2).
There are plenty of real-world examples that are hardened against physical access; smartcards are the most ubiquitous example. You ought not be able to recover key material from a smart card just by analyzing the power-draw, or you could skim chips just as easily as stripes.
I know it's easy to side with confirmation bias, but just for a second consider this.

If a teen doesn't leave his/her home much at all (reason cited - stuck to their bed staring into smartphone), there doesn't arise much opportunity to

-drive to places (they're at home)

I have followed that good advice for many years, but after running 5 pet projects (at least one of which has a lot of traffic) and all dev activity for over a year on Amazon for not even $90 / month in total, I started to see if differently now. With Beanstalk and all the services it is just too easy and too cheap to get going. Maybe later on it will cost more than a dedi server but the time to market and me not swearing at servers is better for business and my private life.

That's why many proposals that scrap employer provided health insurance, give the same benefit to employers via HSAs (a pre-tax health savings account ).

In effect, instead of the employer picking the employee's health insurance the employee could go to the open market, but both the employer and employee get the same tax benefits via putting money pre-tax into a HSA which can then be used to pay for health insurance.

It would require massively increasing the maximum contributions on HSAs (currently only $6,750 for a family), since HSAs weren't originally designed to pay for your health insurance, just healthcare costs. But conceptually it is the easiest way to allow consumer choice in the health insurance market.
Would this work with tickets where customers mix a bit of local language (spanish in our case) with English?
Many (most?) employee plans would cover pre-existing conditions as long as there wasn't a "gap in coverage."

So if you didn't start your new job right away, and weren't paying for COBRA or other insurance in the interim, you could have been in trouble.
That's a generic view which I might actually be inclined to agree with you on. I'm personally skeptical of the current climate change politics, for example.

Their primary function is risk pooling. Secondarily they ration limited resources, attempting to distribute the available resources to effect the greatest good (this is why you often have such a hard time getting them to cover things, and why everyone loves to hate them). They've also traditionally been in the business of managing moral hazard in such a way that people feel it necessary to sign up for insurance while healthy, but the government has dramatically changed that function in the last few years. There's also the basic book-keeping and shuffling money around the system ... and while all of the things I listed are somewhere in between crusted puke and a fresh horse turd in terms of their appeal, they are necessary functions that any system (even a government run one) has to perform. One huge advantage that the government has in the moral hazard department is that they can use guns and jail time to prod people into paying ... but for whatever reason the single-payer folks typically ignore that particular evil when campaigning against the private insurance companies. Personally, I feel that the government's tactic of taking someone's freedom for refusal to participate is much worse than refusing coverage, which is what the private companies do.

It's not that weird - it's simply that Swift currently has no meta-programming features, in the interest of focusing on many other aspects of the language. As a result, Codable had to be baked directly into the language, or uses private reflection APIs not available to the public.

Objective-C does have meta-programming features [0] and that's how all the really nifty features were made possible (KVO, CoreData, etc)

What Swift is aiming for, is to be a performant, general purpose programming language. This restrains it in the amount of clever stuff you can do. That and the inter-op requirement has been an incredible hurdle when it comes to focusing on features that people actually want out of Swift.

A lot of effort has gone into being able to use Swift with existing Obj-C libraries - I sincerely hope they'll at some point say 'no more interop, only Swift, and by the way we've rewritten the UI libraries to use generics, so that you can do more than cute generic demos in your code.'

Generally homogeneity in language works better for the analysis (accuracy is higher) but we do capture tickets with some mixed languages. In this case, we mark the non-english word as an irrelevant entity instead of translating. Spanish support however is next on our roadmap of languages to support!
While not as small it is trivial to make an up-to-date debian base image (or Fedora/Arch) any time you want. If you care about security you probably don't want to use random unverified images anyway.

$ sudo debootstrap stretch mydebian http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/
$ cd mydebian
$ sudo tar -c . | docker import - mydebian

Plus you can add files to the system before taring etc...

If you have significant work to do on an image a Dockerfile can often be far more complex than this method.
Fixable by making health insurance premiums tax-deductible. Also when I was paying for an individual family plan it was nowhere near $19,000/yr. It didn't cover maternity, but that was OK because we were done having kids. But that was roughly 7 or 8 years ago.
Almost flippant based on the issue with the car mount, I have a 2013 Infiniti g37x, and where the gps/ touch screen is they have a circular dial. If I put my phone over the built in screen, the dial holds it in place perfectly. Better then any mount I’ve owned. Funny how that works out.

(I’m agreeing that car mounts suck, and car play is amazing in the cars I’ve been in that have it )

I think it's nicer to program in swift than go.

It's already possible to do so to, by the way.

http://perfect.org/

What I think go has over swift is the complete independence from platform. You can write go code on osx and compile it to a linux binary and it Just Works!

Swift on Linux is not perfect yet, though it can be made to work with some effort.
Illinois pilot project to put birth certificates on digital ledger technology
Consider that btwn 43 and 52% of eligible voters don't vote during the presidential cycle. It's not surprising that some of those might never care to vote --given that some never vote while being eligible, it's not a stretch that some people might consider it more attractive to get a debt forgiven than to vote if they were hesitant to vote anyway.
Well there is attention too.

Selecting from that stream, is that the over consciousness?

And what chooses which stream to pay attention to?

It's recursive and mind bending.

Bernie Sanders "Medicare for All" plan makes all the sense in the world. Expand medicare for everyone. Pay the government instead of insurance premium. Medical costs go down. Doctors/hospitals might earn less, but will have guaranteed payments. Medicare, a government program, is considered the gold standard of healthcare, so this isn't the government's first rodeo.

We agree mostly.

I don't think that the public should be able to get a device which they can, using rudimentary skills, turn into a proverbial nuclear weapon.

> There is only one party involved in possession and use, by definition of those terms.

I cannot possess something that I did not manufacture myself if I did not procure it from someone who did. They are a party. My point is that there are parties who engineer for profit without limits.

Though I agree with you on possession/use and prison sentences. It doesn't solve a problem worth solving.

Hurrah, I believe we agree good sir.
I lived in Queens, near Laguardia airport and worked in midtown Manhattan. That required a bus (or a decent walk) and a train, and usually took about 45 minutes. Apartments that didn't require the bus, and only needed the 15 minute train ride didn't cost that much more.

I was always surprised the amount of premium people were willing to pay to live on Manhattan when it was so much cheaper on the other side of the river, with equal commute times.
To be clear, I don't think there is an infinite recursion here, but I do think that consciousness, as we experience it, is several steps beyond merely responding to stimuli.

It just crossed my mind that perhaps 'our ability to think about the issue is constrained by our language' and '[consciousness'] workings being inaccessible to introspection' are the same thing.

Yep, and this has been widely known for decades.

The fact that there was an article almost ten years ago titled "china invades Africa" which talked about the Chinese resource grabbing in Africa illustrated the long term plans.

The us political system is an utter joke, and we will lose the economy pretty fast.

Data scientist scores top in the chart. Funny to find later on that the author calls her self data scientist as well. To me this is little off putting. It is like a doctor claiming that doctors are the most healthy people. Which might be true, but strange, don't you feel? ;)
From the female side, safer sex and pregnancy prevention can also get pretty expensive in terms of time and money. Getting on the pill requires multiple doctor's appointments, and the pill itself can cost upwards of $50 a month.

Just that could be a reason young women who have received comprehensive sex ed can't be bothered to try PIV sex.
> Sadly, there appears to be many environmentalists and conservation people against large desert solar arrays claiming it threatens habitat of whatever lives there.

Can you cite a significant environmental group that completely opposes all large desert solar projects for this reason? Otherwise this reads like a rather unfair characterization.

In a recent case [1], the Sierra Club successfully argued that a planned solar array outside Hollister should be made smaller (by about either one half or two thirds, it's not clear why each successive cut was made), due to the potential threat to a handful of endangered species in the area. They also indicated unequivocal support for a similarly sized solar array in Imperial County.

Given how much undeveloped desert land exists in the US Southwest, it seems reasonable to build solar arrays first in areas that won't threaten the habitat of endangered species.

What Will It Take for You to Embrace Self-Driving Taxis?
Not all of them. I had individual coverage from Anthem for a while, before Obamacare, and it was all fine, and yes we had some routine medical issues in our history.

What insurance companies want to avoid is people who go without insurance until they are sick, and then want everything covered. As long as you don't have gaps in coverage, pre-existing conditions are not a huge showstopper at least in my individual experience.
>That's a useless definition of an economic system because it grounds itself into a narrow category excluding others when instead it you want it therefore excluding others instead of being as general as possible.

Emphatically, this. 21 is the page with the breakdown: only 10.7% of the cost is in installation labor!

Percentage-wise, not counting the module itself, the biggest culprits are profit(14% vs 7%), supply chain adding 17%, and sales adding 14%. Installation is actually lower as a percent of overall cost. Profit and sales are usually higher for direct to consumer, but supply chain is the biggest single cost at 42 cents out of 280 per watt. Scale will bring that down drastically but it will always be cheaper to centralize.
WhatsApp also has the glaring vulnerability that Facebook could at any time reset your key to a compromised one without your knowledge, and WhatsApp will resend any hanging messages automatically upon the change, making any undelivered messages available to the one who has the decryption capability associated with that new key. It's possible they've put in a method to do this without notifying the user. Also, this "automatic resend" behavior means that a physical attack can be made simply by switching SIMs on the phone before the message is sent. It requires some careful timing to be a real vulnerability and anyone using a phone to communicate will certainly opt for a more secure platform for critical applications.
Yeah, is there a reason to grade on a curve? I don't understand the competition if it the point is to understand the material. There is no evidence that the real world operates on a meritocracy.
> My car is the one place in the world where I stand a decent chance of escaping the all-pervading goddamn film and music industry.

That's a very odd way of putting it. You do realise that music is not just a marketing platform, but also a very common form of entertainment and medium for artistic expression, right?

I'm not sure if you're saying that you don't listen to music at all while you're driving, but if you are, I think you have a very uncommon experience. When I ride in other people's cars, there is almost always music playing, either from a phone connected over bluetooth, a stack of CDs in a CD changer, or just a music radio station. Driving in silence is so uncommon that I'd consider it strange. When I am driving my own car, I often use my long Australian commute as an opportunity to listen to a full album.

Given that people do listen to music in cars, and that against better advice, they often fiddle with their non-built-in music playback devices while the car is in motion, an in-car entertainment system with a proper interface goes a long way to prevent distracted driving.
