Why are we assuming this is something not already in law ? It's pretty well defined, and it's criminal.

So in short: if you trigger this system in reaction to a police visit you are guilty of obstruction of justice and can face up to 10 years in jail (in the US, my state). There is nothing the company can do to shield you from this.

Anyone who has ordered you to do this would be accessory to obstruction of justice, punishable by up to 10 years of jail (not 100% sure).

Neither of those people can defend themselves by saying that it was in the company's interest, or that they were ordered to do so. This is criminal law, and your claim would be akin to saying that your boss asked you to murder someone. If you do it, it's your ass (of course ordering a murder is a crime too, but it doesn't absolve the murderer). This goes to quite extreme lengths and even applies in cases of coercion (so if you murder someone because your boss kidnapped your daughter, you're still a murderer and can still be convicted as such).

The same would apply here.

One hopes Uber is not just throwing employees under the bus (because the IRS, I guarantee you, would get an obstruction of justice persecution started if Ripley happened to them. They have sent people to jail for far less)
I remember the 768-bit DHE in Java and the Nest problem in 2015. I wonder if that has led to the VP of security hire when Alphabet was created later that year.
Center gauges are unusual, but not unique to Tesla. There aren't too many more modern examples than the ones you mentioned.

Most (if not all) cars with that dashboard style are budget-oriented cars. This Tesla costs well over 50,000 USD.

I am saying, “if you don’t want the drawbacks of celebrity, don’t engage with masses of people.”
Who would work-hours bear,
To grunt and sweat under a startup life,
But that the dread of something after now,
The undiscovered country to whose bourn
No traveler arrives puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus time does cause operations in us all,
And thus the native hue of indecision
Is painted o'er with the pale cast of change,
And edifices of great inertia
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And gain the name of action.

This is a surprise to no one, it is the basis of the resolution to EPR: quantum “spukhafte fernwirking” can be arbitrarily quick, but for communication there must be a Classical channel. The limit therefore is the same as it is for causality... ‘c’. The rest is speculation about a limit to the design of quantum computers which has nothing to do with a natural “speed limit.”

This article is offensively bad.

There was an email thread discussing page table isolation mitigations for some bug, but Tom Lendacky mentioned it was about speculation. This let many others finally connect the dots, despite the earlier discussion taking place in the open for a while. Until the connection with speculation was revealed, it could've just been another KASLR info leak defense.
Totally agree. The car manufacturers threw some of the principles of car evolution out the window when things went digital.
I really hope that whoever designed that trash is fired before the IPO. I would never want to invest in a company with such a horribly low bar of quality.
UK membership may not be the keystone of peace (which is good, IMHO) but it does not mean its membership does not contribute to said peace. I agree it is subjective. But I'd argued most people would think this subjective goal is worth of the effort it costs.
That's a personal attack. I am saying your mental models of life are so far from mine, I can't see effective communication happening. I cannot fathom saying that allowing a woman recovery time to take care of herself and time to take care of a newborn is not pertinent to general health. If that is what you think, I just don't even know how to cross the chasm between your mental models and mine.

The gratuitous personal attack only deepens the problem.

So I like physical controls too but I'm thinking of my current car that has them and I'm sure that I end up looking at them when I use them. If it doesn't involve digging around in menus then it's probably about the same, distraction-wise.

The idea of touch screens for everything was the devil's work. The only thing they bring is an easily re-configurable UI in a small space. But if you're in a context where you're performing one or a small number of main tasks, nothing beats the usability and safety of dedicated buttons and knobs.
If you sum the top 100, what do their “market caps” add up to?

Edit: back of the envelope it’s something like $700 billion.
This is what so confuses me. It’s the same reason that your phone makes a horrible TV remote. You have to look back and forth between the controller and what it’s controlling.

I’m genuinely confused why automakers (it’s not just Tesla but they seem to be the worst offenders) do this. Even if we get full self-driving cars tactile controls are still far superior for basic functionality to a touchscreen. For more specific operations sure, but I shouldn’t have to aim a finger mash to change the volume.
I'm always extremely skeptical of these things. The engineering is difficult, but the person at the controls is an even larger problem.

Yes, Wikileaks has a spin (it’s run by people after all), but they’ve only posted factual documents. To give public full picture, we need more Wikileaks-copycats with a different spin.
Yeah, I agree, it's not really a fraudster's fault that people fall for their lies. If people are prone to fall for fraud, how could it be the responsibility of others to not abuse that susceptibility?
So Earth bacteria will go out and contaminate Mars. sooner or later it would happen. We could still study the original Martian biome, if that exists.
This is a greatly oversimplified view of rhythm. There are many rhythms and grooves that do not lock in with "the grid". These tools will most likely not produce a natural pattern of velocity that sounds appropriate for the generated rhythm. Step sequencers are a tool for inputting rhythm, not for generating it. Arpeggiators typically have a consistent rhythm (hitting on every one of some subdivision).
This is a systems interface essay. The lede is buried very deeply:

It’s like one those post-apocalyptic science fiction novels whose characters hunt wild boars with spears in the ruins of a modern city. Surrounded by machines no one understands any longer, they have reverted to primitive technology.

Except it’s in reverse. Hospitals can still operate modern material technologies (like an MRI) just fine. It’s social technologies that have broken down and reverted to a medieval level.

Systematic social relationships involve formally-defined roles and responsibilities. That is, “professionalism.” But across medical organizations, there are none. Who do you call at Anthem to find out if they’ll cover an out-of-state SNF stay? No one knows.

The author recommends hiring a consultant. I'd like to suggest an alternate approach.

In complex disputes between parties, we have several systems or dispute resolution. One is to engage the services of an alternative administrative system: the courts.

While Anthem may be governed by 1,600-page rule-books, a judge is not. Or rather, a judge has a different set of rule books and considerable autonomy to make decisions independently.

(With provisions for review.)

One way of considering this is as a collapsing of complexity: where a system becomes too complex to function reasonably, a third party is called in.

The U.S. healthcare "system" has become vastly too complex to function with any semblance of sanity. It is in desperate need of a complexity constraint being applied to it. What we might in other political contexts call a revolution. Perhaps a reform.

But it seems vastly beyond the realm of incremental change.
If the companies that are actually leaking personal data had any liability, perhaps they would want to buy software that came with such a warranty!

I don't think software warranties should be mandated by law - if that were the case, open source software would probably never have come to exist. But I agree with you that software intended to sit in important security boundaries probably mostly should be available with a warranty. Again, imposing strict liability on the company leaking the data will find this equilibrium if it is the right one. You will go to buy "cyber insurance" for the 100 million user profiles you are storing- a $10 billion possible loss for the insurer- and they will read the fine print of your software licenses!

When we are talking about stuff sold to consumers- smartphones that lose your personal information or webcams that are part of botnets- it's a little less clear. The legal system probably isn't up to holding individual webcam owners liable for an attractive nuisance, and then having them turn around and sue the manufacturers, etc. It is more practical to impose liability on the manufacturer of the product by default (unless the consumer use is negligent). But again, any such regime needs to be crafted carefully to not effectively outlaw free software, hobbyist friendly hardware, etc. Be careful what you wish for.
The excruciatingly long article didn't seem to explain how the industry "outwitted" the government or even "wrecked" the do-not-call list. Not sure what the title was about.

Testing Software

I can think of no single class that would have been more useful in my CS curriculum. Don't know if it's offered these days, but I deal with interns from top schools regularly, and without exception every one is lacking the basic fundamentals.

I think CS departments need to come to terms with the fact that 99.9% of their students are going to become software engineers in the field.
I'm thinking it would be nice if there were a TV series based on community policing, instead of the usual that make police heros for being macho and violent.
Right?

In 2015, there was this:

"NASA confirms the best-ever evidence for water on Mars"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2...

From your link:

"This implies that RSL are not fed by large, near-subsurface aquifers, but are instead the result of either small ( < 120 km diameter) aquifers, deliquescence of perchlorate and chlorate salts or dry, granular flows."

Keyword there is "granular flows"

Here's another source for similar findings a few months prior.

"Granular flows at recurring slope lineae on Mars indicate a limited role for liquid water"

I too remain skeptical.
That's more relating to OpenBSD than the other BSDs. FreeBSD was informed during the embargo (someone on another threads said at the behest of Netflix) but in late December.
Well Tesla is headquartered in sunny California, so they aren't all that familiar with these "tough conditions" that nearly the entire rest of the world experiences. As for changing your volume, don't worry; autopilot is doing all the driving for you, right?
Interesting feedback on recommenders, thanks for sharing.

> Moreover, in all these situations, I feel like it just be improved by asking the user instead. There are thing I'd love recommendations on and I'd be quite willing to tell these portals about my preferences.

Explicit feedback would be amazing, but my experience is that you do not get many chances to request it from your users. Sign-up is the best chance, but anything after that is a non-starter from a UX perspective.

> But it doesn't seem like they want to know, don't have internal search worth much, don't take my search terms account when recommending, etc.

This is an excellent idea. The YouTube paper linked below (which I recommend very highly if you’re interested) mentions search terms as input features.

You’re not missing anything, this is definitely possible to do.

That said, encrypting every message with everyone’s public key doesn’t scale, so instead you’d likely want to generate a symmetric key for the group and as new users are invited the inviter would encrypt the group key with the invitee’s public key. That makes it trivial for new users to view history, and as new chats are posted they only need to be encrypted with one key.
One mechanism to recoup a portion of this cost is a state-run licensing fee that's usually worked into the retail price of receivers [1]. A more elaborate evolution of this, to keep up with advancements in technology, is the blank recording media tax [2].

wasnt forcing my philosophy, just voicing my suspicion that its probably sub optimal to have billionaires if you are trying to maximize the greater good. not saying thats what you necessarily should do, though i do personally think that.
I just routinely block any political page (of any kind) that someone shares, and have unfollowed anyone who feels the need to go on political rants more than once or twice a week (including, sadly, some family members and long-time friends).

I mean, by this point I get it that they like (or don't like) Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Message received.

While I won't unfriend someone over politics (unless they start insulting me), I will unfollow them. If they want to waste their own time ranting on Facebook, it's their business, but I've stopped letting them waste mine.

Twitter is, of course, much worse. I don't understand how anyone can believe that Twitter's format is suitable for serious political discussion, but many people apparently do. I quit Twitter a long time ago.

I didn't claim they lied. As far as the sophistication, it was the critical lapse in maintaining the front-line defenses that is at the root of the problem. Without entering through the front door, any attacker would have had a monumentally more difficult time installing any kind of back door access, let alone a series of shells as redundancies. Keeping the logs clean probably kept them nearly invisible for all that time to be able to pass off or sell off the access to a more capable group.

Negligence in their case is evidenced in the larger picture. One isolated incident can be just a dramatically terrible mistake. When there are obvious and foolish mistakes being made when the stakes are millions of peoples' personal and irreplaceable identification, then I think negligence is a fair term.

If anyone from Skype product-team is reading this - Please bring back the ability to dial from the local contacts, without having to Sync my entire address book. This is my minimum request.

If possible, just put the old Skype interface back. The new design with all its jazz-matazz and sparkles have made the product unusable. It is not a first-world unusable I am talking about. The product is not usable, as in I am moving away from Skype after being a customer who has given thousands of dollars in business over the years.

How did the new Skype design pass user feedback reviews? Honestly asking to learn.
Five Big Ideas for Education Innovation in 2018
I've been driving a Model S with Autopilot v1 for roughly two years, and lack of speedometer (which my S does have in the heads-up display) is less of a big deal with Tesla than other cars. Even if you do not engage Autopilot, engaging Traffic-Aware Cruise Control buys you accelerating and braking, essentially entrusting other drivers with adhering to speed limits while you tag along behind.

I only end up using the brake pedal at a stop sign or at the red light when I'm the first car.

The autopilot is also aware of the speed limit signs, and with Model 3 you can assign an offset (e.g. always drive at speed limit + 5).

As other people pointed out, there are other models on the market that do not have speedometers right in front of the driver, Toyota Prius being the prime example https://di-uploads-pod4.dealerinspire.com/napervilletoyota/u...

Bit of a disappointing read, I was hoping for more insight.
> If they really mean it, they'll accept that they will make less money as a result of this change.

First, it's not sure whether they will actually lose money. The problem with clickbait is that you learn relatively little about the user. Suppose someone clicked on hundreds of articles about why everyone hates Donald Trump... what does this teach about the user? How does it allow you to show them better targeted advertisement? If instead they will click on stuff written by their friends, you will learn what hobbies they share, and then you can sell them things related to the hobbies.

Second, just because Facebook changed a value of some variable quickly overnight, doesn't mean they can't slowly change it back later, if it indeed turns out to be a loss of profit.
The actual costs of converting currencies on the normal money markets using an account like interactive brokers are almost zero - maybe 0.05% or you can even make a profit on it if you put in a limit order near the current price. The costs are mostly in getting money in to the system at one end and out at the other. I'm not sure how going via crypto will be any cheaper - it's usually more expensive in my experience.
Agreed. I don't know why they keep coming up with these unintuitive naming systems.

Parental leave suggests leave for more than just the mother and is in fact what you explicitly said "provided parental leave for both parents when a child is born".

Which seems valuable for many reasons. But I would be interested in seeing data which supports that this results in better health outcomes for mother and child. However, I'm not sure this specific case tells us much about the general case of patients (you cited CF) being cared for by friends or family members...

You're not backing up your statements with data, and not making a reasoned objective [1] logical argument... people do that all the time of course. But it doesn't really help advance a discussion or change anything. It's probably why you've ran into issues getting your point across in general.

[1] You might feel you have sufficient subjective reasons to believe what you state. But it doesn't help convince others, for that objective proof is required.
