This young woman wasn’t speeding. Throwing her in jail would have done nothing but increase the amount of suffering in this world. She is being punished every day of her life as it is.

In Italy they have introduced the crime of “automobilistic manslaughter”. It made no difference whatsoever. Nobody wakes up thinking “Today I’ll drive fast and maybe kill someone”, and nobody drives thinking “oh I must be careful or I’ll murder someone”. People just go from A to B as fast as possible. There is only so much fear of the Law you can put into them, and it doesn’t work at all when the triggering event (death) is so huge that most brains simply cannot process it or imagine it.

What really makes a difference is trying to build an environment where people don’t drive at all, or they do in segregated roads away from pedestrian traffic, as well has having speed bumps and so on.

That doesn't make sense. She was within the speed limit and if you go too far below it then you can be ticketed. Arguably, your proposal would also encourage more hit-and-runs as well.
Complex does not mean something that can't be understood. Like Cynefin, your uni course might also using bad definitions, if they meant those definitions for the general context. If they were giving you domain specific definitions, like in a math course or something, then your applying it to this situation might be your misunderstanding. We have dictionaries for just this purpose, so that we all agree what words mean. Words also have multiple meanings, so while it may be true that what the PEP authors said makes no sense to you, it's best if we avoid egg on our faces by calling someone else wrong if the problem is that we didn't take the time to understand what they meant, or assumed incorrectly that our understanding is the only one possible.

The common definitions of complex and complicated are that they're synonymous, there is no strong or fundamental distinction between them in the way you're trying to suggest. That's the main problem with the PEP statement. Trying to assert there's a difference is likely to result in miscommunication, this uni course and the PEP authors are both making the same mistake.

Tragic. But how is this hacker news?
That's a surprisingly good point, and it's the first time I've seen it brought up in discussions about car accidents here.

I wonder if there are statistics out there estimating the amount of lives saved thanks to quick response enabled by cars (e.g. ambulances).

OTOH, this can get quickly confounded with the second-order impact of cars - e.g. that medical facilities would be closer to people were it not for the possibility to deliver them there by car.
It seems it was a failure of the payload to cleanly detach from the rocket. This launch was a little unusual in that the manufacturer supplied both the payload and the payload adapter (the bit that does the detaching), and handled all the integration.

Generally SpaceX supplies the adapter, and handles the integration. So, if it turns out it was a payload separation issue, that's still not on SpaceX (despite the fact that it would be in a "normal" launch).
It's being downvoted because there is no reason to arrest the person. "They looked for skid marks on the road and took some measurements", and presumably they concluded there was no foul play.
Sure, but they would only make a fraction of what they make today, most creators would go out of business and most free services would be shut down.

Sure, who's claiming otherwise?
It would depend on any reasons for that mob justice. If the authorities (the courts?) could be expected to take no action in any case or in a corrupt way then street justice might be the only justice available.
You know, part of me just wants to mirror that, and ask "what is your actual question?", but okay.

Just in the sentence I quoted, "complicated" crimes is just padding, but of course, you can't sell "getting more complex" with the argument of "crime still exists". Then there's "unexpected" natural disasters, which is padding, too. Of course, natural disasters aren't social challenges. "This situation" -- of which there is nothing left other than "crime exists" -- always existed, and what is a "global concern"? People all over the world have been concerned with their personal safety for longer than history exists, so what changed?

Nothing changed, and if I had to guess, based on what we know about corporations and governments monitoring people who care about the environment in the least I'd say they want to peddle total control to prevent uprisings that will come when the natural disasters (we can predict to get worse, since we keep destroying our environment) get out of hand. But that's just a bonus, without that it's just marketing gibberish, and that I needed to point any of this out further eroded my faith in humanity.
You and the rest of this Silicon Valley hippie love fest is infested with possessed fried self important humans that live in a goddamn bubble. (Note how the previous comment was down voted). You don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t have the whole picture at all, and your promotion of LSD here is damaging to society.

Oh, and you use the word “I” too often. You’re selfish. “Oh I hope you share your experiences!” I’ve never done that garbage, but I’ve known folks that had no indication of any mental issues totally lose their minds and never recover. Frame it however you want; had they not taken that poison, they wouldn’t have had that experience and wouldn’t have ruined their lives. One can have no indication of any mental hangups, dose on LSD in what they believe is a sound state of mind and trustworthy set/setting, and never be the same thereafter, for the far worse. It’s Russian Roulette for the mind.

There’s obvious survivorship bias here. Someone who lost their shit and ruined their life likely isn’t posting on hacker news. And such forgotten acid casualties are presumed to have already had pre existing issues by folks like you, which is just more self serving nonsense. It’s part of the counter-culture mental-tough-guy mentality. “Can you handle it?” “Yo that guy who went nuts on acid was already crazy”. Well maybe, not in every case, but his brain chemistry didn’t mix well with LSD.

People get damaged from that shit permanently (LSD) and there’s no way to know in advance if that’s the case. Your “research” on that subject isn’t relevant at all. You and the rest here are spreading dangerous information.

Check your ego, son. Your brain is fried. At the least I’m hoping this response doesn’t get totally flagged. It’s personal to me, very much, when you (and others, but you’re the worst offender in this thread) promote that poison in a place where people lurking don’t understand the hippie underpinnings of this community.

Honestly given all the weird stuff that happened with this satellite this doesn’t seem too far fetched. The fact that it got way too close to the iss, and that zuma aligned with its orbit not just once but both scheduled launch attempts seems way too fishy for me.

Given all this incredibly unusual activity, especially given how big and separated everything in space usually is, this is honestly the most reasonable theory I have seen so far. The more I think about it the more it makes sense.

> Practically, you can just 'let a person go' and not tell them its about the bumper sticker.

That's not what happened here, though.

> CA is a right-to-work state, isn't it? Anyone can be laid off at any time.

You're confusing "right to work" and "at will". "Right to work" means that it's illegal for a union to prohibit non-union workers. "At will" means that employers can fire people without reason.

Even in an "at will" state, there are protected classes under both federal and state law. Political affiliation is not a protected class under federal law, but it is under California state law.
Transmeta's IP, and its ideas, were gobbled up and put to good use when the company folded.

SpaceX has no reason to lie about this. If they were caught lying then it would do irreparable damage to their reputation as a launch provider.
I've just in the past month or so started getting into intel assembly. For some reason I was a bit intimidated by it even though I have done some m68k, avr, pic and z80 asm in the past. After watching some Australian dudes tutorials on youtube though I quickly realized it was not bad at all. Also it's pretty great how easy it is to mix C code with asm and really helps you understand things like calling conventions. Now I have been playing around doing weird things like trying to implement a closure in C and smashing the stack to return to a different function than the one that was called.
They're hardly the same. A vehicle moving on a road is using that space exactly for its intended, accepted, and lawful purpose. A bullet moving through the air in a populated area is not.

Accidents do happen; you can't make the world perfect because it is full of imperfect and sometimes irrational (like a 4 year old) people. Personally, I drive extra slow in residential areas just so I can hopefully prevent something like this from happening to someone's child.

The Power of Viral Growth
I don't necessarily think this is true. Advertisers want to be able to attribute revenue to the types of ads that they show, that way they can spend less money on advertising and focus it on the channels which actually work for them. Cookies are the best way of attributing online ads to online sales.

TL;DR they want effective attribution, not to wreck your browsing experience.
I think you misread some of it. The bit about trolling / rolling on the floor was definitely in bad taste and indicates either a lack of empathy, or just poor judgement.

In the end, though, I think he's done something decent-- providing a way for poor people in India to access a service that they are normally unable to afford. That's a good thing.
As someone who is not a parent, and reading these comments from fathers on how unbearable must be to lose a child (even the thought of it), brought me back to a story which taught me to feel, years ago, to try understand what losing a child does to a person. It was the game Heavy Rain. It is a big part of the narrative to put you on the father's shoes, to lose a child and dive down to a limbo, how your life basically just ends, emotionally.
Of course, just a videogame, but that's what good fiction does, it puts you at a characther's shoes and makes you feel and think really hard about a situation unfamiliar to you.

This seems to be a common excuse from people in the US "Oh yeah - well - of course you could do <something positive> in such a small place - the US is just too big for <something positive> to happen!"

I looked up some stats for the inevitable "But the US is bigger than that! We simply cannot solve this problem!" replies. The EU is pretty big too, but the fatality rate is half of that in the US despite being of comparable land-area.

US road fatalities per 1m population in 2013: 104 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_i...)
EU road fatalities per 1m population in 2013: 51 (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/...)
Maybe if all the traffic fatalities occurred on the same day each year it would be a more apt comparison. I bet you'd see some political will power then.
Regarding royalties: My understanding from school is that radio royalties are paid out by samplings from radio playlists. If you song was in the sample then you got paid, otherwise, nope!

Don't the current streaming tech pay artists per literal play? If so, wouldn't that mean more money to the artists since all plays are counted?

My understanding is a bit outdated now perhaps, but would like to understand better if someone knows better :-)

6 Questions You Should Ask at Your First Job Interview
Exactly. There is a huge jump in quality of content when you are trying to get users to pay for your work rather than just trying to just get enough people to click on it. It requires you to actually deliver on your promise.

Sustained interaction and user satisfaction require more thought process than just slapping a clickbait title on something. In reality, clickbait titles work all too well.

Will we lose some good businesses and content creators? Most definitely, but the good (and lucky) ones will adapt and it sets a MUCH better model for future creators.
I really really think this is the way to go. When I'm on programming websites I want ads from cloud providers, and when I'm wood working websites I want ads for belt sanders. I feel like it makes more sense to display ads that match up with the content of the web page anyway, it means the viewer might be in a more receptive mood for that type of product. Not to mention it avoids the entire issue of user privacy and the difficulty of tracking users. It's also how all advertising has been done since the beginning of time, and I don't see why the Internet has to be such a special case.

Did you read the article? It was a rural road with a high speed limit.. very common in many parts of the world.

Engineers assumed people wouldn't run into the middle of the street without looking.
I have to agree with maxhallinan. These aren't analogous at all.

One time I was riding my bike when nearly the exact same thing happened to me as this woman, only instead of a small child the person was an older man. He, looking for traffic the wrong way on a one-way street, mistakenly thought it was safe to run across the road. I was doing the speed limit (60kph) when I hit him, full force, and sent him tumbling down the hill about 15 feet.

It wasn't my fault at all, but that guy was totally wrecked. I was a bit sore, but overall I was fine. Him on the other hand - his body helped break my bike frame (bent one tube, snapped another right from its welds, broke my wheel, ripped cables free), he had nothing to protect his head, and he looked frail to begin with. It was bad.

Should I have been charged for that? I don't think so. He did it far too suddenly for me to do much more than hit my brakes. I felt awful about it, but I definitely don't feel responsible for it.

If I'd been going the wrong way, he was at a cross walk, or something - something where I should have been more prepared to stop or avoid him - then absolutely. But sometimes pedestrians make really bad calls and road users just aren't at fault.
> But I’m happy with this as I think Apple’s goals are more in alignment with my own as a user.

Except that Apple having a monopoly on the interactions means they would extract monopolistic rents from the value chain, which will be paid, yep, by you.

Apple wants to kill the open web, and charge everyone 30% or topline to access their "users". The best way to do it is to hit the web on the pocket: ad revenues.
Hackers stealing Second Life's player-made lootboxes and selling them for profit
Yes! Excellent SciFi comedy.
He wasn't calling his users dumb. He was calling the attackers dumb (for not randomizing their useragent), and then he realized it wasn't an attack.

And while the way he herded the users to spam others was distasteful, I think his pivot in the end was a positive thing.
Yeah, still not getting it. Wouldn’t normally a person be detained for questioning if they had just killed a person in some other context?

Maybe arrest isn’t warranted—maybe a, “hey you look pretty shook up, would you mind coming down to the station with me to answer a few questions? Cool, I have to let you know before I get started that anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”

But I also don’t think “nah, I’m good and don’t intend to come with you to answer your questions.” Is an acceptable answer either. So, if someone were NOT cooperating with the police in a fatal crash situation, I don’t think arrest is unreasonable in the least.
"Ubermensch" doesn't imply "nazism". It's a nietzschean concept referring to humanity going beyond itself, and was then adopted by nazism to refer to a man of pure race, which is not what Nietzsche was talking about.
Uh...have you ever driven anywhere rural...anywhere? If you have to drive 100 miles in rural area, going 30 mph would never fly. But, people ( including children) often live along these roads. I grew up in a place like that.

People live directly off of highways. So highways should be 25 mph? 30mph?
I would rather have content creators competing for my money and my satisfaction rather than JUST my initial interest and attention.
If this analogy is accurate, isn't it absurd that many/most of us live right next to a "live firing range" with no safety barriers?

We know that kids are unpredictable, adults get distracted, and reducing vehicle speed reduces the chance of a collision being fatal: http://www.who.int/violence_injury_prevention/publications/r...

We don't need to accept that roads are deadly places for non-drivers. We should strive to make our environment more liveable - by changing road design, vehicle safety features and driver attitudes - and this includes enforcement.
Why does it matter how much I like a service?

25ish years ago I was driving my Toyota MR2 along the Cowley Road in Oxford on a Sunday morning, heading for an out of town supermarket, to pick up some groceries. Two teenage girls ran out from behind a bus that was waiting at a stop on the other side of the road, right into my path. Those who've been in a road traffic accident will know that time slows down the instant you know things are out of control. I stood on the brakes, the anti-lock braking kicked in and I slowed rapidly enough for the first girl to evade my bumper. But not the second. She went up and over. There was an almighty thud as she hit the roof, then rolled down the back, over the spoiler and onto the road. I jumped out of the car and ran back. The girl I hit was bloodied and confused. Her unscathed friend helped her to the side of the road, and I accosted passers to find someone with a mobile phone; they were rare in those days. Someone made the 999 call, and I moved my car off the main road and on to a side street, where a bystander congratulated me on not doing a runner (1), and offered a badly needed cigarette. An ambulance and police car turned up sharpish. Fortunately the girl I hit suffered cuts, bruises and shock alone. Not one broken bone. The police breathalysed me, and found me clear. I'd had a couple of pints the night before in the local, but it hadn't been a big sesh, so I was sober as a judge. Nevertheless, I was badly shaken. I drove home instead of going to the supermarket, and headed to my local for a large Scotch and a pint to calm my nerves. Some weeks later I was summonsed: the injured girl's mother was suing me. In British civil law, the driver is always culpable in an accident involving a minor, even if sober and below the speed limit, which I was. There was no need for me to turn up in court, as no facts about the accident was disputed. Compensation was awarded, the insurer paid up, and the matter was closed. Moral of the story: there but for the grace of God, don't drink & drive. Thought: who is culpable when it's a self driving car? Lasting impression: the brief few millisecs when I knew I was going to hit a child, and there was nothing I could do about it, were terrifying.
Sure. I had Meltdown specifically on the brain when I wrote that, sorry. It hardly needs saying that the preconditions for Spectre-like attacks being around for several decades doesn't make the situation any less embarrassing. (That said, I don't know whether things like eg. increasing pipeline depths only made actual attacks feasible relatively recently.)

The thing is: with a 22% impact their employees have a clear signal that they need to brush up their CV. 100% would mean they would have to ask tough questions about how they would pay for their baby’s milk (I realise this is a little dramatic but I’ve seen that happen).

I feel like that problem, like GDPR, should be read as: you have to ask permission, rather than you are not allowed to. I think retargeting, well done, is a great tool. I hate myself for forgetting to include tea towels in my last Amazon order. However, without a ‘Get out of my face’ option (and more generally better controls) those ads are incredibly hurtful and need to be gone. I personally would do shameful things to remove Taboola from my mobile browsers (embedded in social media apps).
