Funny, because it's technology that caused the death in the first place. Maybe consider how to get rid of the car?
Could CEEK VR Change the Way Live Events Are Done? – iCoin Blog
I guess. I'm just baffled picturing the scene. This young woman just killed a little boy and the cop is basically saying "ok, well, he's dead, just be careful next time. Ok, have a safe trip home, bye".

You're right, without witnesses what can you do? But I would imagine a procedure a little more involved when somebody kills a child.
Back in the day as poor kid in India, my hardest stumbling block trying to apply to international universities was finding a credit card to pay for TOEFL. I had to move heaven and earth to find someone who had a credit card.
I don’t know UK laws, but you also get dinged in the US on property taxes (pay half a year), home insurance (can’t close without it), HOA fees ($500 selling our house this year despite our HOA being otherwise meaningless), warranty (not consistently required) and various local costs that are associated with the municipality or state — not to mention mortgages are deliberately designed to make their money even if you pay them early.

Again, I’ve never bought/sold in the UK, but in the US you could easily see $100K in costs on a transaction of ~$2M, and the percentages will go up as you move down market.
Horses had a habit of not trampling people if they could avoid it, regardless of the driver’s own intent. They were in many ways like self driving cars.

These things (safety) aren’t binary. Just because it wasn’t absolutely false before doesn’t mean it was much more true after.
Not the OP, but my take on it would be that every State is different from each other, and even within the State there's differences. Take a look at where I live, Texas. Dallas will be different than Austin which will be different than Houston. Any metropolitan area, even within the same borders, will have different culture and mindset than another. Compare that to another State and the divide only widens.

Most countries are fairly homogenous, which lends itself to a singular-ish mindset and culture. The US is not really one country, it's a melting pot (remember that word from social studies?) of many different cultures and ideas. That's one of the big reasons why we can't really be compared to any other country on many topics. Every locale is different, in many cases fundamentally, and that's part of the point of the Federal-State system we have.

Isnt checking for cross state border tax evasion considered probable cause? Just like how customs inspects packages coming from outside the country or even Americans returning from a foreign visit (Not an American, just curious.. since apparently this is a US specific behaviour)
I wonder if this is expressing the culture inherited from the Japanese historical experience? An island culture, homogenous, inward-centered, idolizing the emperor, crushed in WW2, and then relying on the post war rise of the corporate welfare state. This "lost" and dystopian corporate communication from Japanese companies seems typical. Certainly the one I worked for tended to be this way.

What kind of car do you have?

I got a new Toyota Corolla (lease, fortunately) with autonomous braking, but it seems to be a “slow down by 5mph pre-collision” sort of system rather than an “avoid the collision” sort of system. Seeing the Subaru system in action gives me faith, but you pay the premium.
This seems like such a tangent to topic at hand. This article is not even about kuberenetes or docker itself.
I think I do. My boy is 6 now, so he's a little less vulnerable, and I've learned to see that anxiety for what it is. Honestly, I don't think it scares me as much anymore, but as soon as you read an article like this it can ruin my day.

But then maybe it's good to have a dose of it once in awhile, to keep me from getting to comfortable with his safety.

Because the tools aren't quite there yet.

That's not what I said. You effectively claimed that the fact that a difficult proof had not yet been found, despite many believing the equivalence, somehow entails that it won't be found. That's the asinine argument. I'm sure you're very well aware of proofs that evaded mathematicians for millenia.
His case is not based on discrimination based solely on race and gender.

Are you sure about that? My understanding is that his essay was posted in a forum that was explicitly set up to discuss labor practices. From my lay perspective, it certainly looks like it's covered under labor laws. It's not like he was posting Klan flyers on the breakroom bulletin board; he was participating in a discussion sanctioned by the company.
I get that (and that’s why I use it too) but you made it sound like Adblock is blocking malicious code and thus you do not need to worry about Spectre and meltdown, which is defentily not true (though it does prevent some malicious code).

It ends up being a question of time and cost. Even if you make no changes to the design, the construction and verification of a new copy will still take years (verification of space payloads this expensive takes FOREVER!) and likely still cost hundreds of millions of dollars. I wasn't involved in the finance side of things but I'd guess that at least 40% of the effort would need to be duplicated for a project that size.

But most likely, technology will have progressed in the meantime and you'll want more accurate sensors or more powerful on payload data processing or more powerful/efficient radios so you can get more of the data to the ground. Spy satellites only have a useful life of around 20 years due to obsolescence of sensors. So you're going to end up wanting to upgrade the new one so you don't just lose 1/4 of it's useful life. So you'll probably end up designing a lot of parts again.
You’re reading the cultural difference right now. The story is about a dead kid but we are invited mainly to sympathize with the perpetrator. We are also expected to take on faith the “he darted out of nowhere” narrative that is very common in fatal collisions where the victim is unable to testify. Finally, we are treated to a dose of the “it could have been any of us” windshield perspective that prevents the USA from having any kind of fairness or justice for traffic violence.

The average of the population? (In this case, the average SSC reader.)

They didn't measure when work got done. They measured when people chose to update their project management software. That doesn't necessarily correlate in any way with when the work is actually getting done. So all of their conclusions are based on flawed assumptions and a bad data set.

Anecdotally, I am an active user of multiple project management platforms and do my best to keep them actively up to date. When I am in a state of flow and being productive I almost never break it to update the project management platform.

I'm honestly not sure there's much of a pattern to when it gets updated. Sometimes it's when I'm trying to get into a work mindset and remember what I did the day before. Sometimes it's when I'm winding down at the end of the day and making note of what I did. Sometimes it's in between tasks.

A better measure might be when git commits were made to repositories, but even that is a pretty imperfect measure. I often don't made small commits as a I work, but large ones once a cohesive portion of the task is complete (or several small ones as the same time using git add -p).
Maybe they just missed a comma between "clothing" and "color".

Bitcoin Cash Launch Retrospective
I was taught birth order effects in middle school in the 2000's in the US in a "health" class (in the same unit we also did handwriting analysis). We were literally shown a video of a family in which everyone explained why they were the rebel as the second child, the overachiever as the first child, the spoiled brat as the youngest, etc. Birth order effects might exist... but even if that were true we should not teach them to middle-schoolers as determining their life. This is for the same reason that we would not want a video of a "typical community" showing a white male doctor, a white female kindergarten teacher, and a black male janitor even if all of those occupations are statistically more likely to be held by those demographics than the others. Because we live in a time and a place where children get to choose that they are not like their statistical cohort if they put their mind to it.

The only positive thing I took out of that class was the number of other students going "this is bullshit, I'm a first child and am the rebel of the family" or whatever. And it was a good introduction to not trusting authority.
Dude...not how it works. Read the story. They had two...totally ruined their lives. You can argue they didn’t “handle it well” (blaming her when it was an obvious accident, not moving on together, leaving the room, etc), but the point is every child you have feels like your only child in many ways.

I’m going to have to disagree with you here.
I do believe that one is critical as well, and I'd really like to see some UX videos of drivers using that thing. Ideally with eye tracking.
Reducing speed limits and designing roadways to discourage high speeds.

But yeah, I like to measure annual traffic fatalities in 9/11s. Here in the US, we typically do >10 of them per year. We toppled the governments of two countries, created a whole new department of our federal government, and continue to advance prosthetics at a breakneck pace to fix the men and women we send to be disfigured overseas as a response to just one single 9/11.

It’s a question of political will. We’ve become comfortable with the level of death, dismemberment, and disfigurement associated with transportation as we’ve built it in this country.

This story gives the impression that you can somehow magically make a profit by buying a house, waiting a few months, and selling it. This is completely ignoring the concept that most of the data is going to be from house flippers who don't just buy and sell houses, but renovate houses. If you are a professional who buys fixer-uppers that no one else wants the hassle of dealing with, then put a lot of money and work and skill into them, yes you have a good chance of selling it for more than you spent on it.

If you just buy and sell, and don't do anything to the house, you're very likely to lose money (when factoring in transaction costs) unless you really know what is happening in the market. People see what you bought the house for a few months ago, why would they pay more than you did? Also, as many others have mentioned, there is a lot of selection bias. People are less likely to sell if they have to sell for a loss, if they have to hold onto a property they wanted to sell because they would lose money if they sold, they don't show up in this data.
'shell-shock' is literally the aftereffects of a concussive blast rattling your brain around in your skull; itself is usually diagnosed under the broader umbrella of PTSD, which one might also end up with after having to kill another person.
It also gives people with mental health problems an excuse to not seek treatment - "I don't need your stupid pills, I'm not broken, I'm just an artist!"
I'd have preferred if Scott posted an encrypted timestamped message on Pastebin before the survey (to register his intended experiments), and released the keys after the survey; "this could skew your results please don't read" is not particularly well controlled.

Such a sad story.

> "The voice said in this very biblical, Old Testament, angry way"

Is this what people consider "biblical"? An angry person? I've spent years reading the Pentateuch, writings, and new testament and I don't see this voice (I assume she means "God") as angry at all.

Quite the opposite actually, as the narrative is [to the Jews] about God restoring them despite their rebellion and sin and [to the Christians] about God giving us his son despite our hatred and sin.

> "Then about 10 years ago I went to Israel on a trip. I'm Jewish and I went with my rabbi and other people from the temple that I belonged to. While I was there I took a Hebrew name, Bracha, which means blessing."

I assume this "voice" was the guilt that plagued her creeping into anything that mattered. It's sad the torment that we can inflict onto our own minds. It sounds like she was able to overcome it.
A while back I had a side project I took on for a colleague that involved reverse engineering and bypassing the lockout mechanism on an old piece of kit that wanted to phone home. It was one of the most fun and engaging things I've ever done. There does seem to be a lack of really good free disassemblers though, none of the ones I tried could consistently handle relocation tables for some reason.
There have been studies on this. Your life (well, chance at ever being happy again) is effectively ruined by the death of one child, regardless of how many you have.

You never stop loving or missing the one that died.

In this case, I'd still be reluctant to make conclusions about birth-order effects if the gender split is not about 50/50.

It’s not stupid it’s a morally wrong thing to say and very mean. She was what, 19? He obviously knew it was an accident (why did he let her go? He obviously thought it was an accident, probably unavoidable), more the little boys fault (if you have to blame someone) than her’s..what a jerk-off.
As you say, it's not perfect, but it would absolutely help us preserve culture beyond what is still classic 75+ years from now.

We have lost the vast majority of silent era films and more historical films will follow since it's illegal for you to save them to digital format without the explicit consent from the content creator. We won't lose Casablanca or The Seventh Seal since they're preserved by historical archives and companies can still make money screening them but TV-movies like Star Wars the Holiday Special is only being preserved by illegal means because nobody bothers enforcing its copyright. Sure, that movie is an abomination, but film historians 100 years from now would presumably want some proof that Lucas made it and that it really was the first appearance of Boba Fett.
Launch insurance can absolutely be given to classified payloads. My understanding of the launch insurance business is you say "my payload is worth $(X)XXX million to me and we're launching on this type of rocket" and the insurers look at the history of that rocket and your history as a payload manufacturer and charge you a 10-40% premium that gets built into the cost to the government.

Can't the timing (in)accuracies be worked around by javascript? There must be countless numbers of timer-triggered events in JS, not just the high-res timers but simple second-by-second counters, frame sync events, or even external I/O. Every possible time-based event needs to be made imprecise, otherwise programmers can derive a higher precision timer from them.

e.g. if you have a tight loop that just increments a counter, couldn't you just run that for a second (interrupted by a lower frequency timer source), then find out how many counts/second the JIT can perform, presumably millions or billions. To time operation 'X', you then just perform X and run the tight loop again, and compare how many fewer tight loops you completed.
> Was I the only one shocked by this?

I think anyone who was actually alive in a time when it was possible for an accident to occur and people didn't automatically look for someone to blame aren't shocked. I'm a lot more shocked by what happens today.

You know, back when the police's job was to 'protect and serve'.

I think half the stuff my parents did to us kids in the '70s would lead to them being arrested today...

My wife was involved in a similar accident except the victim was an elderly lady. My wife was driving very carefully, not speeding etc.

One of the things that I observed whilst we endured the aftermath is the lack of support for people in this situation and what a taboo there is around it.
It felt as if there was no 'right' to sympathy or support due to the asymmetry of experience for those involved.
It's even difficult to find the right language without it being pejorative. 'Hit and killed' implies some kind of intent or that there was some kind of choice.
Stockholm and Lapland have significantly different cultures, infrastructure requirements, populations et cetera. We can argue which has the bigger difference, but we should be able to agree that the differences are similar in kind.
Well.... the whole premise is that copyright is a type of property, or that it should be. You could replace "legal monopoly" with "property rights" and it works equally well for both songs and buildings. You are only able to collect rent for a building because exclusive property rights give you the .. erm.. right to allow or deny(exclude) use of the property . This could also be called "legal monopoly" though not in the more modern antitrust influenced sense of the term.

I don't really have a problem with copyright being a "made up" legal fiction. A lot of things are fictions made "real" by laws, customs and such.

The questions (IMO) shouldn't be around what is real or not, based on some abstract reasoning. It should be about what is beneficial, practically, in our time.

Anyway, I think we need to rethink patents and copyright entirely. For patents, it isn't entirely clear they work as intended (incentivising innovation). The downsides, at least, seem more visible now than before.

Copyrights in the digital age.... It's just a completely different thing. A book or song or whatnot needed to be published regardless of copyright. Print costs, retail, etc. The only difference was royalties. The difference between a public domain and copyrighted work now is much bigger. Free means flexible, accessible, obscurity tolerant... For a lot of works, copyright by default is like burning the only copy.

Combining and reworking is also different in this age.

The procedure later, away from the accident scene, probably was more involved, but at the scene, unless there was evidence of negligence or bed intent I wouldn't expect an arrest. She didn't flee. Apparently didn't appear impaired. What would they possibly arrest her for?
