"The society we want" expressed in this kind of article is one where public policy actively discourages (or at least doesn't go so far out of its way to encourage) driving. "Humans aren't perfect" - so they shouldn't be permitted to drive. If draconian liability terrifies people into riding the bus, that's victory.

The state has effectively carved out an exception to the murder statutes because "hey, shit happens, humans aren't perfect behind the wheel." Challenging that is perfectly reasonable, especially if you don't accept that driving is or should be a necessary component of civilization.
And your theory is there is something fundamentally and transformationally different when a guy working for a local subsidiary or independent contractor shows up in a truck with FedEx painted on the side?

Yes that may be true, but that also means BTC is essentially in a deflationary period as the buying power of the currency is currently going up with time (unlike most Fiat, which the buying power tends to decrease during an inflationary period) so holding BTC makes sense to a lot of players with it. So there is a bit of an incentive for its use as a speculative instrument.

A lot of the speculative buyers don't really understand how volatile BTC can be and that it is a usable currency.

The reason I say its in a deflationary period (while demonstrably false as more BTC are being produced by miners) is because its BTC / person interested in BTC seems to be decreasing.
Ya, we've thought about that. Dat's storage is pretty flexible and we have a content-addressed storage library. A lot of our users do not want or need to storage data in IPFS though so it adds unnecessary complexity to do that by default.

Someone could built a storage that uses IPFS, similar to our dat-http storage [1].

> This goes far beyond programming. "completeness" is nice but is highly subjective. For work that can be infinitely revised, refactored, recut, "finished" is an idea you impose from the outside, in relation to specific criteria.

This is why I think a "definition of done" is so valuable on a dev team, especially in a startup environment. Without it, there's just natural inconsistency or variability across people and features.
I think your example shows perfectly well why you shouldn't be charged, and why she (probably) should - you were driving with due care, other party was negligent, whereas she (it's heavily implied) was on her phone at the time of the accident (and after).
A GAN style approach to learning and generating variants could be interesting as well. It could generate a couple of hundred plausible versions. Then you have another network that is trained to differentiate between fake and real colored photos which picks the best version.
I think vehicular manslaughter is a reasonable charge. If you can't not plow into pedestrians who have the right of way, you are negligent.
I'm honestly pretty baffled by the whole "techies hate privacy and undermine consumers" genre.

I mean, sure, engineers built Echo/Alexa and the Equifax website. But engineers also built Signal and HIBP. Programmers vary in their concern for privacy, just like any other group, but my general experience is that they skew more privacy-conscious than the general consumer.

The writers who admit that often frame it as hypocrisy, but that's the usual sloppiness of conflating individuals with group averages. I doubt the people who wrote VTech's godawful software are particularly privacy-focused in their personal lives, while the engineers using encrypted messaging and password managers also tend to have scruples in the office.

At a certain point the whole thing feels like blaming mechanical engineers for the military-industrial complex. Sure, someone found a team that would build Predator drones, but that tells us less about mechanical engineers than it does about the government.
Let me give you a real-life example of an accident:

My cousin, (completely sober, alert, and obeying all applicable traffic laws) ran over a slick substance on the road causing his car to slide into oncoming traffic. Unfortunately, his progress was halted by an oncoming vehicle. The person in the other vehicle was killed. Should my cousin be legally responsible for that death?
if the goal is making more livable and efficient cities, please don't start by taking it out on the pedestrians. 'unlikely to get killed' is kind of downgrade from 'able to carry my groceries home without fear'
> this article says nothing of previous history of other such revolutionary shifts like with industrial revolution, petroleum economy

Each of those shifts resulted in their industries being massively regulated, in respect of their effects on labor and the environment, respectively. The article calls, if somewhat indirectly, for the similar regulation of tech.
I hope it means he really believes in it.
The end game is squeezing margins down until only house thieves are motivated to take such jobs, and either disclaiming responsibility or trying to manage it so few enough people get attacked/robbed/etc by predators signing up to deliver for whatever the ultra-budget-shipping thing is. And of course in the end the whole thing gets automated, but until then the strategy is to squeeze shipping as hard as possible, because employing safe people is part of the margin and it's cheaper if they're a lot more ephemeral.
Mysql also doesn't have range-based-sharding (in any external tool that I know).

You have to look at CockroachDB(postgresql driver) vs TiDB(mysql driver) unless you want to wait 10 years for that to happen in pg/mysql land.
> drivers who failed to yield, one of the leading causes of injurious crashes in New York.

That's like saying "speed causes accidents". Yes, the accident probably would have been avoidable at 5mph. Yes, not cutting people off when taking a left turn would be nice but eventually you just have to make eye contact and floor it if you want to take a left turn (granted that's not a good example but "failure to yield" is a broad enough category to be useless).
That is called feature creep, and is usually not viewed in positive light. Its real art to know how to decompose problems and design neat, contained, solutions.

I'd also argue that the "change" you are seeing is mostly illusionary, but that is another story altogether.
I know this has been said before, but we need blockchain based alternatives for everything. Starting sign Steemit which works like Reddit (and pays its users) and openmarket.com which is like amazon we can slowly supplant every service. About time we did.

> As a central body it can still retain the ability to shutdown ID of non-acceptable content like ...

The problem with that is who gets to choose what is acceptable and what is not? If I make criticisms about something or someone's actions, is that "non-acceptable" content? During these discussions, the lowest common denominator is used, but the reality is that definitions change or people try to expand the definition to include what one does not like or agree with. The price for free speech and expression comes a great price with many risks, but it is worth it. We have seen centralization fail time and time again with platforms like Facebook and Youtube censoring (demonetizing) unfavorable opinions or ideas.

> I’d happily donate to have such an unbiased body.

As soon as you start picking, choosing and expanding what is acceptable and what is not, it is no longer unbiased.
Is there any background check, nope.

Yes, actually there are background checks.
Would be more appreciated if fortunate people like WOZ could do something good for non-code fields as well.

Because humans suck ass at preventing harm.

When cars were first introduced, they were implicitly allowed free roam over streets that were full of pedestrians, horses and carriages. They injured so many people they stopped counting, and each month would bring dozens of deaths. Only after enough people had died did they invent stop signs, traffic signals, lane markers, and one-way streets. They had to create new police departments to enforce the law on the road, and new courts to process offenses. They still didn't have mandatory driver education, brake lights, or posted speed limits. Left hand turns were difficult, drinking and driving was common, and people didn't understand why taking a corner at high speed might flip a car over.

There were literally decades of people (mostly children) killed by automobiles on a regular basis, usually by reckless drivers and exacerbated by a lack of planning. And yet, even though some drivers would be pulled from their cars by angry mobs, nobody seemed to question whether all people should even be allowed to drive a car. Rules like crossing the street at designated intersections were created to put responsibility on pedestrians for their safety.

By the mid-1920s, after two and a half decades of driving, we finally adopted national laws regarding driving, with driver education coming in the 1930's.

Can you imagine if we let just anyone fly a plane? The sheer scope of the damage done makes even the idea laughable. But once the technology becomes cheap and available, it will happen, and we'll run into the same stupid problems. Because we suck at keeping people safe.

Once automated cars become reliable and widespread, we're probably going to outlaw driving yourself, because it literally makes no sense to give a human total control over a two ton mass of steel hurtling down the road next to pedestrians and cyclists with no protection whatsoever (a curb is a guide, not protection). I mean, we don't even install metal bollards around cycling paths or sidewalks.
> It is a crime when you do it by purpose, not if it is an accident.

This statement doesn't seem to be consistent with the law in the US. Involuntary Manslaughter is a crime, and it explicitly covers cases in which the crime was not committed on purpose.
Hi - thanks for the feedback! We agree and are trying to limit number of guests (when we can - sometimes it's hard to cover a topic well), as well as better label voices as we go through as moderators. For edits, we try not to do jump cuts. You'd be surprised at how many people think a cut is a cut when it's the way it was... but then not catch the actual cut which was a blatant cut;)
and by improving the allocation of resources to growth areas.

The thing is, the technology industry, and the finance industry do useful, good work. The trouble really comes from an overreach of corporate power. poor regulation and lousy, antisocial corporate governance are not the problems of their industries, they are the problem of our government.
Political ads are regulated in the USA on broadcast/print networks (one has to state who paid for it) so either one would want them to be unregulated or the ads on Facebook probably should be regulated to be equal in treatment. There's also the foreign funding aspect that is also regulated in the USA. This is independent from the actual source being a spy agency issue. The pizzagate originator was a white nationalist/red pill troll in the USA.

But this requires more code. More code is error-prone and takes time to write and maintain.

Hello, from The New York Times CMS team. We have been working with ProseMirror for the last year and a half or so. Congratulations, it's great to see this finally reach 1.0!

Some of the things we've found really great about working with ProseMirror:

- Separation of the data model from the rendered display has allowed us to extract things like tracked changes and comments which we traditionally embedded as HTML tags in TinyMCE. This leads to less cleaning and prevents inadvertent publishing of metadata.

- Unidirectional data flow makes it work well with applications that use this type of data architecture.

- Separation of modules (prosemirror-state, prosemirror-model, etc) has allowed us to quickly write better tests around our editor code.

- Decorations have been great for implementing the previously mentioned metadata aspects of our editor like comments and change tracking. They're useful for features like our custom spell checking implementation, which checks for Times style in addition to normal spelling/grammar.

- Node views allow us to implement rendering in our own way. We've been rendering React components into them which will eventually allow us to share code between our editing environment and our user facing web stack. They also allow use to render the same editor schema in different ways depending on the context/view they are being used in.

- The step/transaction model has allowed us to move from what was previously a set of additions and deletions persisted within the document to a calculated change tracking implementation. This allows both for a cleaner document but also allows for a wider range of tracking (i.e. show the differences between versions 10 and 15) rather than a static current vs the last "accepted" version comparison.

- Prosemirror’s plugin system is really simple and flexible and has allowed us to add new features to our editor rapidly in a modular way without interfering with other features (comments, custom spell checking, custom find/replace, etc).

Your point is also valid, however, it had not eluded me. I was just saying that from a speculative perspective, the two are similar (hence, the use of "in that sense"). Essentially what you're saying is that one is government backed and entrenched in society and the other is not - I obviously do not disagree, as this is undeniably true!

Perhaps it's not crazy, but it is illegal. You're supposed to keep your eyes on the road, and looking at your smartphone is just as bad whether you're texting or using a map app. Phones have voice output for this reason.

If you need to take your eyes off the road, then first stop. If you don't, and as a result hit someone, then yes, it's murder.

no its not which is why they used such an archaic statute - there is a campaign to extend death by dangerous driving to cyclists
A while ago it was suggested to me to mentally translate "accident" to "collision" in context of cars hitting cyclists. Most collisions with cyclists are easily avoidable, and caused by negligence, impatience or ignorance.

Treating collisions as unavoidable, unintentional mistakes relieves drivers of a lot of the inherent responsibility of controlling a vehicle. Watch the road. Respect other users of the road. Be patient, safe, and focused.
Market cap is frequently a less-than-useful metric, but for a "currency" like Bitcoin, it means almost nothing. We have no idea, really, how much is circulating, how much is permanently lost, and there's no transaction where the market cap really plays a part.

> I actually would like a ban on main roads during rush hours

Agreed. The sooner we get cars off the road the better, and... Oh, not what you meant?

I like the lane-segregation San Francisco that is (slowly) rolling out, and I understand other cities mostly in Europe already have (haven't personally been to the right city lately). A particularly dangerous corner near me has gotten far better because of it, and it seems to work well, at least so far - the intersection was averaging about a death a year, and while it is still too soon, nothing now. A side effect is that the sidewalks are more pleasant, too - the bikers, then a line of parking, then traffic just feels much more pleasant.

Drivers don't technically lose any roadway, but in practice, they can't take over the bike lane because of parking, so they seem to dislike it[1]. But that's also what makes it safer, and was the law anyway, so the complainers have mostly settled on sillier rationales.

[1] In San Francisco, the conflict is severe enough that I think certain bikers and drivers have progressed to spite-driven zero-sum bullshit, so its hard to tell who is even arguing sincerely. I don't mind the new configuration when I drive - makes right turns slightly more complicated, and of course I'm not a professional driver, so I don't care about stealing the bike lane for drop-offs/deliveries.

Personally, I think developers are the best writers/ content marketers -- when I was at WIRED, I regularly mined forums and community groups to spot talent. For one thing, a lot of developers are natural advocates for a point of view, and for building community, and starting/hosting conversations, and content marketing is a natural extension of that.
