>the author is basically complaining that Chromium decided to update itself. Well, maybe it warrants complaint, but I fail to see what's such a big deal. (The alternative is millions using browsers ridden with last year's vulnerabilities.)

You're misrepresenting mandatory enrolment in A/B testing with plain software updates. Firefox is an example of a browser that does software updates, but does not force you to use potentially buggy features - and yet they do not have "millions using browsers ridden with last year's vulnerabilities", because their alternative is to give users a choice to enroll in experiments. I do participate in experiments since I wish to improve Firefox, but I could switch to any time to no experiments at all.
pfft, made up problems. You will submit to not owning anything. You don't need a house either, just go to an AirBnB every night.

Everything must be a service. Ideally provided by google.

Next thing your going to say is that waiting for 15 minutes in the rain with a crying baby while you get gouged for triple price because of nearby concert is a problem for you. Just suck it up and accept that car ownership is a outdated idea and you need to bow to the will of the tech hipsters and conglomerates.
The road for car makers is way, way longer than ride sharing. Thru ride sharing things will be so far along that there is little chance the car makers will be competitive. Plus the future is NOT buying cars.

Microsoft has somewhat similar technology called PhotoDNA.

How does PhotoDNA work?

PhotoDNA technology converts images into a common black-and-white format and uniform size, then divides the image into squares and assigns a numerical value that represents the unique shading found within each square. Together, those numerical values represent the "PhotoDNA signature" or "hash" of an image, which can then be compared against signatures of other images. While the technology cannot be used to identify a person or object in an image, nor can it be used to recreate an image, it can be used to find copies of a given image with incredible accuracy and at scale across the 1.8 billion images shared online every day, even when the images themselves have been altered.

If you take the Bostromian existential-risk-from-super-GAIs argument seriously, this sort of thing must sound horrifying. Imagine if in the 40s you read in the newspaper that a bunch of Manhattan project scientists had left to start their own weapons company!

Wrong. Blockchains specifically timestamp documents. Consensus is a different

I also live in California and I also send my child to a private school which costs upwards of 30k.

California currently spends about 10k per student for public education. That makes 30k sound crazy, but in 1970 California spent 5500 which is about 35k in 2017 dollars. California (and most of the US) is woefully underfunding it's schools.
I was thinking in terms of having the results be immediately measured and quantified. It's kind of a luxury to have such a quick feedback loop. That's all I meant by rewarding, wasn't thinking in financial terms even though that now seems like a more obvious implication.

I think you perhaps misread the post. It suggests that there is only 12 hours driving per day but the kids would be asleep for at least 8 of those. The idea being drive overnight and stop at the next waypoint (see friends in flyover country/national park etc) during the day. I guess the plan being to do interesting stuff when awake and travel when asleep, for the most part.

I suppose as long as you get in the hours you need to as a remote worker and the sleeping is comfortable then this would be pretty sweet for even very long journeys.

It would take a complete redesign of car interiors to something far more comfortable/secure for lying down but no reason that problem couldn't be solved.

Why do you say that there's no meaningful ROI? I know a lot of marketers and advertisers who have built great businesses off of Facebook Ads.

Agree that we need to improve the quality of ads across the board.
If only there was something useful to this post... Maybe real examples of a single algorithm written in a minimum of two languages? Maybe an expanded view of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from running some code under different fuel mixtures (basically no one on earth is running code on 100% coal powered electricity). Some sort of meaningful analysis should exist.

Is your logic here that major research universities would maintain the same fee structure and allow less qualified wealthy students to assume the spots lost by students who can't afford the tax change?

Universities compete for research talent. Won't they simply adjust their fee and stipend structures to accommodate this change?

>generally FreeRTOS applications have full access to all the memory.

Well yeah, because MCUs almost universally lack Memory Management Units. They can only set general permissions like R/W/X on blocks of memory, which makes enforcing permissions on a per-process basis extremely slow compared to hardware solutions.

I'd be curious to see how performant / power-efficient this will be compared to FreeRTOS.
I'm not sure what would disturb me more. Knowing they sometimes use the mic to listen to me talking (this I could prevent but not having my phone around) or that they already know so much about me that my conversations add little information to what they know about me.
If you set up a control center in each metro area, you could potentially have a sub 10ms RTT.

And I imagine that in a large percentage of cases the car's sensors might indicate potential danger with enough advance warning for the remote driver to take over.
All the mileage-related costs are still there though. You're probably overestimating the degree to which simple age (and time value of money) dominates car cost. It is admittedly greater in states with snow--and hence salt on the roads in the winter.
No, bad on Disney for doing it in the first place.
It's only annoying because there is currently no output for your friends to watch along while you're playing that isn't a complete hack.
Why would there be no car parks?

Disagree. Think it is a winner take all. But I also think Google will involve other companies but be controlling the platform that wins.

Google has way too many advantgeous even beyond a beta? Alpha? working solution. But it is the fact that Google really wants it. Plus there is no competition from any other big tech player like Amazon and FB be the most important two.
$1B in market cap, not operational losses:

People assumed it would be huge news the first time a car crashed while driving autonomously too though, and it turned out people barely noticed. I'm sure this stuff will need to get figured out, but I don't think it will necessarily be a huge incident the first time there's an accident without someone in the driver's seat. Presumably the first of these vehicles to be deployed will be fleet cars and such and will have specially tailored insurance policies; by the time it's individual owners, the legality will probably be somewhat settled (although there probably will eventually be elements litigated).
Drivers in Asia are, to my understanding, very common... Idk about the office/van. I just know one guy in South Korea that has that setup and he is rich. He says other people have it but not sure how common it is.

But "executive" back seats are very common on luxury brand vehicles in China.

Correct my if I'm wrong, but they still put bags of trash out don't they? Those things also attract rats who can easily chew through the bags or they can not be tied up properly in the first place, allowing he smell to escape.

Short of an adversary having greater than 50% of the coins I don’t really see how a sylbi attack is relevant.

Well, it's solved. They're called RVs. As a kid (or even as an adult), I think I'd still find it being pretty cooped up. It's one reason that I've never taken long-haul Amtrak that I suspect I'd find is more interesting in the theory than in the practice.

Hmm, seems like Google may be the ones who screwed up here, by not having a versioning system on Google Fonts. If they did (and guaranteed that fonts wouldn't change after being selected), this wouldn't have happened.

Then again, part of me wonders whether fonts should be updated in general. Version control and regular updates work fine for programs and what not, but fonts are really like images in that people only care what they look like at the time they use them. Changing a font's weight or design like this seems like the equivalent of a stock photo program swapping out images because they think the lighting wasn't done right or the choice of model was wrong. Yes it may be 'objectively' better, but it'd just break a lot of existing use cases for little gain.

Still, that's just my thoughts on the situation.
Maybe users just don't want to see many of these ads, full stop.

So they're really pairing the ads with people who are least likely to complain. That kind of shifts how I view the incentives.
Knees. What half-competent engineer would hold a weight-bearing joint together with soft tissues?

So what about those natural monopolies? Or you want competition between sewage providers?

It seems like you are not accepting the simple observation that free market cannot be applied to everything. Nothing is universal magic bullet ...
So, you want people to write web apps in C: a language with overflows all over the place and something a child could launch a DDoS attack against. This is not a defense against feature-itis and slow response times. Especially when bulk of the time lost is in accessing dbs and rendering front end js.
As I recall, that media coverage was almost entirely negative.
A trivial example is that a 'for' loop vs. 'while' loop can be faster on one browser compared to another.

These differences are even starker if you use newer features without polyfills. For example, 'forEach' implementations as of a year ago varied by orders of magnitude.

Native array sorting is another obvious one. Chrome, Firefox and especially Safari use quite different algorithms each based on array size with varying results.

If you add up all those little changes and always go with the option that's fastest in Chromium, in a reasonably complex SPA you could easily generate noticeable differences.

So the newspapers blacklisting Disney from awards consideration is, in your mind, akin to trial by jury, conviction, and lawful sentencing? I think you make my point for me.

Arguably they were justified in retaliating, but it's clearly a mudfight, and the newspapers had no problem getting into the mud with Disney and flexing their muscle. I don't see any high ground here.
So what should the newspapers have done instead? Lie down and take it, because otherwise “we’d be just as bad”?

This widespread reflex to go “both sides are equally bad!”, even when such equivocation is flatly absurd, is the thing that makes me most weep for the future of the human race.
Add in the fact that anyone who has ever used Twitter knows that anything which takes a lot of characters to convey either (i) gets abbreviated in a confusing manner (ii) tweet threaded which is a far less user-friendly way of using 280 chars anyway or (iii) a special embedded text image, which again is far from user-friendly when it's just a workaround.
Yes, there are a bunch of legitimate use cases for large scale development where you want inline tools to assist QA and diagnostic issues.

The Visual Studio codebase had (may have changed now) a dialog for debug asserts allowing you to suppress a single instance, suppress repeat instances of just that assert, or suppress all asserts, as well as a bunch of other features. I believe later versions of that macro made use of IsDebuggerPresent to change behavior when the process was being debugged or not.
(I believe previous versions made use of a -different- hack to implement IsDebuggerPresent.)
So, we should all just ignore that Disney is attempting to use its might in order to completely bypass freedom of the press, and end oversight of what it's doing in the city council elections in Anaheim?
Crazily enough, it can be both bad on Disney for doing something bad, and good on them for ending it.

Best of all, this should serve as an example to other companies tempted to do similarly-terrible things. It probably won't, but it should.

Yes, stop caring about double spend as long as it happens in long term forks. After some point, two different forks become two different communities. Similarly when you restrict gene flow between species which are physically separated, they often can't interbreed anymore. It's called allopatric speciation. There is evidence it happens in nature.

What you should do is have each community have its own internal currency, and then have global payments be powered by a federated system. Like the internet works.
Also keep in mind that Disney is most likely caving not due to the public backlash, but the threat of being disqualified from critic awards considerations.
