You are mixing things. Measuring safety of a human driven car with a human driven car with additional safety feature is not the same as measuring safety of autonomous vehicle. Contrary to its name, autopilot is not autonomous driving feature. It is a "smarter" cruise control. And if the drivers remain attentive it can improve safety as seen in the statistics you cite. If the drivers are not attentive (and treat it like "autonomous" feature) they end up like Joshua Brown.

And BTW, I'm not saying I'm measuring what is available on the market. I simply point out, that there is no evidence yet that _fully_ autonomous vehicles had exceeded human safety level by any stretch of imagination.
I’ve got a Tesla model X and I’ve been in situations where the autopilot screwed up and required me to take over to prevent an accident. Most recently the car was autonomously changing lanes on a highway and didn’t see a guy on a motorcycle who was following too closely to the car in front of him. It’s probably an edge case, but still makes me weary of using it more.

It's funny, no one thinks it's a problem to buy a stock and then go tell people good, truthful about the company to try to get the stock to go up. But when you short a stock and then go say bad, truthful things about the company then people want to call it market manipulation.

It has nothing to do with shoplifting. The seller and manufacturer don't care whether you resell the items, but the Government does. In the U.S., the FDA requires that all packaged food products sold at retail contain a Nutrition Facts label. Multi-packs often don't have Nutrition Facts printed on each component wrapper, and so cannot legally be sold under law. In fact, they are required to have "This unit not labeled for retail sale" printed in such cases.

Agree with what you said mostly. The energy efficiency of EVs are also definitely vehicle dependent (brake regen design, power to weight ratio, power module design, motors, power electronics). I drove an i3 before and was getting 4.6 avg m/kWh and a few times that I've been testing Honda FitEV, that went up to 4.8-5.2 m/kWh without me changing my driving style. But since EV has full torque for the entire range of allowable RPMs, driving aggressive is easier and more manageable. In some of the strong regen EVs like i3, I can get it hover at around 4 m/kwh even with a fairly aggressive driving style (first shooting out of the red light stop, last coming to an stop at the red light etc.)
Currently you can get Iridium satellite phone with unlimited data minutes for 125/month. The connection speed is less than 10kbit/s.

Speculation is investing. The difference in risk is a difference of degree, not category. Hedge funds, venture capitalists, real estate investors, etc. all routinely invest their or their clients’ assets by engaging in speculation.

The word you’re looking for is “gambling”, which is a meaningful difference. This isn’t just pedantic - the word “speculate” has a well-established definition in financial jargon, and altering that definition clouds discussions that could benefit from precision. Moreover, it implicitly puts “Real Investing” on a pedestal of responsibility and financial acumen, while dismissing the utility of speculation.

Sometimes people try to differentiate between speculation and investing by restricting their definitions to high risk trading and value investing, respectively. But in real world investing, it is extremely common for people to “invest” their money in vehicles which are “speculating” on securities of various types.

Well pyenv is to manage multiple versions of python, virtualenv is to create virtual environment, venv is virtualenv added to the stdlib, you forgot pip, virtualenvwrapper and mkvirtualenv are management tools for venvs and pipenv is also that but integrating pip.

There's pyenv, pip and virtualenv/venv (same thing) and then there's a bunch of tools to make them more implicit or ergonomic (if you like the way these tools work more than the base).

So really there's not a multitude of competing standards, there's 2/3 complementary standards and then people building their own tools atop that, not entirely unlike the multitudes of Jabber or Twitter clients we used to have.

Things were worse before virtualenv rose to prominence.

This statement is directly contradicted by the FCC filing:

> The designed lifetime of each satellite is six months. If this lifetime is exceeded, SpaceX plans to continue operation until such time as the primary mission goals can no longer be met, at which point the spacecraft will be deorbited.

The text in this particular filing, if read plainly, would indicate that SpaceX could easily let Microsat-2a and 2b stay in the air potentially through production deployment of Starlink if feasible.
You don't actually need to pay attention in a Tesla when it's on the road. It's closer to a dead man switch on a train than a real test of attention. Except you don't even need to keep your hands on the wheel as it's really easy to fool.

So, your argument falls flat.
Does a host (where you've stayed) get to see your review of their place before they post their review of you? If so, I think the fear would be a traveler leaving a negative review, the host seeing it, and then leaving a negative review of the traveler in retaliation.
Software updates won't add lidar to the cars. Sure, the ability to update software easily is an advantage for Tesla, but they're ultimately just as limited by the hardware on the car as GM is. If it turns out the current hardware isn't good enough to do what Tesla wants, todays cars are going to look just as dated in 5 years as GM's.

News for Endurance R&D department
Endurance have started working on 10W (10000 mW) diode laser with 445 nm wavelength. We expect laser to be able to engrave on brass, copper and being able to cut 5 mm of wood and plywood with single pass.

We plan to improve schematic on 8W laser and make better cooling system on that.

Endurance is planning to present 8W (8000 mW) IR diode lasers with wavelength of 808 nm. This laser will be VERY powerful and will be able to cut white and transparent materials including plastic, acrylic and even glass.

All releases will be made in a second quarter 2018.

As a Tesla model 3 reservation holder, I wish they would decide they're an electric car company, not an electric autonomous car company. I badly want the former. I'm not interested in the self-driving part until it's really good. This half-hearted level 2 stuff is uninteresting to me - I see it as dangerous and marginally useful. The fact that it comes with heavy handed control and surveillance by the company makes it worse.

I'd rather wait 5-10 years for someone like Waymo to figure it out and then roll it out than see a car I really want today get crapped up with features that are incidental to its raison d'etre. Honestly this and the delays may be enough to make me cancel my res.
Proof in a civil case is by preponderance of the evidence; basically, whatever seems more likely based on the totalkry of the evidence.

It doesn't require on one piece of evidence in isolation, or even the totality of the evidence, only permitting one possible interpretation.
Isn't it similar to existing tech being rolled out on airplanes?

Yup, completely agree. The "legal bullying" I was referring to was the threat of legal action which is enough to scare most.
I think you're saying the same thing. Later in his comment, he mentions installing "global" stuff to `/usr/local/node/bin` or something like that, which is easy to add to your PATH (and can be scripted / documented to be easy to set up). Essentially do what homebrew does, which never seems to run into problems and IIRC completely refuses to run as root nowadays.
The article doesn't mention what I find to be the most interesting part of this mission:

From Ars Technica:

There is heightened interest in this launch because, for the first time, SpaceX will attempt to "catch" one of the two payload fairings that enclose the satellite at the top of the rocket. The value of these fairings is about $6 million, and recovering and reusing them would both save SpaceX money and remove another roadblock on their production line for Falcon 9 rockets. These fairings will separate from the rocket at about three minutes after launch and are "steerable" in the sense that SpaceX hopes to guide them back to a target located in the ocean.

"Going to try to catch the giant fairing (nosecone) of Falcon 9 as it falls back from space at about eight times the speed of sound," SpaceX founder Elon Musk said on Instagram Thursday morning. "It has onboard thrusters and a guidance system to bring it through the atmosphere intact, then releases a parafoil and our ship with basically a giant catcher’s mitt welded on tries to catch it."

There's a 20% deduction that can be taken for the pass-through income ... if the pass-through income is below a threshold: http://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/news/12389903/2018-tax-ref...

So for some earning beyond a certain income threshold, yeah, they will get taxed a lot more.

Nobody outside of Tesla appear to buy the idea that a car without LIDAR can be fully autonomous within a relevant timeline. I mean, sure, maybe we'll solve fully autonomy with only the limited sensors on a Tesla in 20 years, but question whether you will still have a car you buy tomorrow 20 years from now.

Tesla claims that they can do it with the sensors they have, but please do note that none of the other autonomous vehicle players -- many of whom appear to have much more sophisticated offerings than Tesla -- think it can be done.
Libre/Starter/Premium/Ultimate are the names of plans for our distributions. CE and EE are distributions of GitLab. CE has _only_ FOSS code in it for users (e.g. self-hosting open source projects) who don’t want to run any proprietary code whatsoever. Libre features are any features that are in the CE distribution by default.

The Free/Bronze/Silver/Gold plans are for GitLab.com specifically (all open source projects get Gold features by default).

Is presence of species and biological diversity more relevant than transient geological evidence, asteroid impacts and tectonic activity? Without geological evidence (fossils) we would have no benchmark for non-living species.

Arguably, all geological timescales and frames of reference (as named by humans, and thus innately political) are based, not on biological taxonomy and known degrees of species diversity, but rather, on geological records, for which radioactive markers from weapons testing carried out by humans, remains a relevant and valid point of reference that may outlast us.
Part of the reason more mature car manufacturers are conservative is because they've gone through lawsuits and recalls.

I think the worry is retaliatory reviews. I've been in a situation where if I left my host an honest review, I expected to get a nasty review in return.

It's honestly a problem with all of these bi-directional rating systems. As long as they make it at all possible for the ratings to leak before both parties have rated, there's a strong disincentive for any party to leave an honest rating.
As someone who rides, this is scary. I'm going to begin giving semi-autonomous vehicles a wide berth.

This may not be what you're looking for, but Google seems to prefer Medium content.

I think it could be natural. A lot of smart interlinking of posts, clustering different niches, and posts being spread across social websites.

I can even give a direct example. My book The Tao of tmux is available for free online. It used to be in the google top 10 for tmux. Now, a newer article on HackerNoon is up at the very top: https://hackernoon.com/a-gentle-introduction-to-tmux-8d784c4...

I think people just like the Medium posts, heh. They made a publishing platform that attracted talented writers, and the feedback loop with readers seems to be encouraging it to grow.

Medium actually hampers my personal efforts since I keep my own static website and wrote a custom blog-like application I post. I feel I may end up having to move writing efforts there since the velocity there is so big.

P.S. NYTimes digital team uses Medium: https://open.nytimes.com/ I think that demonstrates to me people just like the product and it's going to self-perpetuate until someone devises something better.
In many games greater familiarity with the biases of the dice would be no more an advantage (sometimes considerably less) than greater familiarity with the game rules and strategy. It's not clear what games were played, or whether they were played repeatedly amongst groups or by strangers competing against a "house". The article does suggest the biases were visible enough for such games to not hinge upon a particular participant's false believe in the uniformity of the dice though, as well as hint most people's betting strategy probably wasn't sophisticated enough for them to care

nickbauman says>"You're far, far, far more likely to be killed with your own gun than to defend yourself lethally with it."

The chance that you need to shoot someone to defend yourself, your family or your property or someone else's property is thankfully minuscule. And it is true that owning a weapon of any kind increases the risk of misuse (hence the need for proper education). But how about cases where a weapon was used to defend oneself or break off the attack?

Statistics aren't collected on such encounters.

Consider a I/O pin set to open-drain drive. It either actively pulls the output pin to the ground rail, or the I/O floats. Externally, you have a pull-up resistor.

If there are multiple chips connected in open-drain, you write the I/O pin to 0 or 1 to either ground or float the pin. You read the I/O pin to see if anyone else has grounded it if you haven't. This was called "wired-OR" in the old days. (It's really AND, but was commonly used in DeMorgan equivalent form for communication buses before tri-state drivers became a thing. I'll get my cane and hobble back to my rocking chair now..)

"Fully" autonomous cars (by your definition) have zero fatalities to date. Considering miles driven that is significant better than human drivers even paid human drivers if you look at trucking death statistics.

Now, driving a semi may be more dangerous than a car, but it's hard to argue it's vastly more dangerous. Further, people are not uniformly good drivers, a self driving car is vastly better than someone that so drunk they have trouble standing.
