3. Talk about the value you delivered. No one is going to care if it's printed in Times New Roman instead of Georgia, or whatever, if you demonstrate how you deliver real value to your employer. No one cares that you implemented a CI system. They will care that your CI system implementation found and prevented several serious regressions from taking down production systems.
From that same page:

"Tesla’s Enhanced Autopilot software has begun rolling out and features will continue to be introduced as validation is completed, subject to regulatory approval. "

"Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available, as this is highly dependent on local regulatory approval."

The latter paragraph is very vaguely worded and certainly not very clear that it is non existent as yet.

> If you work in a company/team that has a blame and shame culture, you're going to have a bad time regardless of what the git command is called.

I can confirm this can happen even when only two people in the entire department use git or any form of version control at all. In fact I find it even more likely.
This reminds me of Scientology.
Well, since you have no emotions around it whatsoever, and a large chunk of the rest of us likes praise better than blame, there should be no objection to renaming it, right?

The point is, on a subconscious level, names matter. Calling it praise instead of blame frames the entire issue, and primes a different kind of reaction. It's subtle, yes. The underlying data is the same, yes.

But if a subtle change can make life better - or, at worst, keeps it the same - why not do it?

They mentioned whole salt...

I was tempted to answer that I eat very little cheese and not much bread, but OK, this was about average and I have low blood pressure anyway.

What I found extrange is that most people I know are much more concerned with salt intake than I am, often lecturing me that I should be using less salt, and then I read that I am using half of what's considered "current levels".

No, do not read CO2. That's not what banning plastic bags is about. It's about not having them all over the environment where all kinds of animals, from sea turtles to cows to elephants, eat them or get entangled in them

I've heard other variations of this story that stated that OpenBSD simply had the fix ready first, asked permission to commit it (without fanfare), and got it. As far as I remember from the discoverer's CCC talk, OpenBSD got the fix first because he discovered the vulnerability first in OpenBSD's WPA implementation.

It's not that OpenBSD did not want to cooperate, it's that there was some miscommunication that ended up not fitting in the coordinated disclosure.
It sounds like this architecture (particularly the iframe bit) involves submitting the users' passwords to a third-party service to be validated. Developers and admins are likely to be hesitant about that, because the service host will end up being a significant target and a potential point of failure. This is partially avoidable; you can hash the password on the client and send the hash, and compare against the hashes of passwords from data breaches. Unfortunately, this doesn't work if you use a properly salted hash, which means that, with a reasonable amount of computational power, you'll be able to break all the password hashes submitted this way in bulk with a rainbow table. This would make your service a target, and make potential users of your service hesitate to adopt it.

A better architecture might be to distribute a library which downloads the publicly-leaked-password database so that new passwords can be checked without sending them to a third party. I can see this being a successful open source project or a side project of a large company, but I can't see site operators paying enough for that to build a business around it.

Why not a javascript library instead of a service?

This allows clients to self-host the javascript (so it can't be modified to log the plain text password somewhere), and probably can plug into existing form validation with little hassle.

I guess the question is why should I trust your service more than using Troy Hunt's API directly. If you're sending hashed credentials anyways, all the verification of NIST recommendations needs to be done client side anyways.
My biggest complaint with the automatic events has always been the inability to treat them as my own events. If I want to make any changes to the event, I have to copy it to my calendar. Doing so means there are now two versions of the same event, and the one I copied will not automatically update if there is a change. I've seen the automatic events update when, for example, my itinerary changes.

I also hate that reminders do not get shared with other events and are google calendar exclusive. This means I can't use a third party calendar app on my phone if I want to use reminders.

Non-human-owned corporations are insulated from criminal legal consequences, and therefore are better able to engage in activity that would otherwise engender criminal prosecution, relative to a human.
I have my own counterstory to yours.

Like you, I was mercilessly bullied for years - up until fifth grade. At some point while being beaten by one of the larger ones, something snapped inside my mind, and I ended up chasing him down and slamming his face into the basketball court until teachers pulled me off.

I was never bullied again. All because I finally exercised what all boys need to exercise: raw aggression in defense of person. It is the only language bullies ever understand.

>In two recent articles, Professor Shawn Bayern demonstrated that anyone
can confer legal personhood on an autonomous computer algorithm merely
by putting it in control of a limited liability company (LLC). 10 The algorithm
can exercise the rights of the entity, making them effectively rights of the
algorithm.

>The rights of such an algorithmic entity (AE) would include the rights to
privacy, 11 to own property, to enter into contracts, to be represented by counsel, to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, 12 to equal protection of
the laws, 13 to speak freely, and perhaps even to spend money on political
campaigns. 14 Once an algorithm had such rights, Bayern observed, it would
also have the power to confer equivalent rights on other algorithms by form-
ing additional entities and putting those algorithms in control of them. 15

>Abstract

>Nonhuman autonomous systems are not legal persons under current law. The history of organizational law, however, demonstrates that agreements can, with increasing degrees of autonomy, direct the actions of legal persons. Agreements are isomorphic with algorithms; that is, a legally enforceable agreement can give legal effect to the arbitrary discernible states of an algorithm or other process. As a result, autonomous systems may end up being able, at least, to emulate many of the private-law rights of legal persons. This essay demonstrates a technique by which this is possible by means of limited liability companies (LLCs), a very flexible modern type of business organizations. The techniques that this essay describes are not just futuristic possibilities; as this essay argues, they are already possible under current law.

> do baby monitors help if a baby is having breathing issues? Is it possible to tell? And if so, what do you do to save them?

Yes, we use a movement-based monitor and have for the last 6 years (3 kids). It doesn't require anything on the baby, and sits under the mattress. Sensitivity is adjustable and it's very accurate. It truly lets me sleep better at night.

High-resolution, 3D lidar is expensive, not to mention mechanically complicated and large, so it doesn't fit well into car designs...no consumer is going to want a spinning top on their car (Waymo's Velodyne lidar).

2D lidar is less expensive, but still isn't cheap enough for the number of sensors that would be needed (multiple sensors would be needed for proper coverage, if the the sensors were incorporated into the car body); also, they are still mechanically complex (most rely on spinning mirrors or sensors).

That leaves something like flash lidar, which isn't quite cheap enough (though it's dropped in price significantly in recent years), and I think it's resolution is still fairly low - but it does allow for 3D information about the scene, within it's field of view.

I have always understood why Tesla took the route of using cameras only. In theory, it should work fairly well, since humans have been using a similar system for 100+ years for driving automobiles. It really comes down to a software problem (vision and deep learning, etc), more than anything.

Camera sensors are inexpensive, and easy to incorporate into a vehicle. I tend to wonder if maybe augmentation with FLIR and other wavelength sensors might not improve things, but even standalone image sensors - in theory - should be completely workable.

If a corporation is competitive enough to exist and outcompete other human corporations, then maybe it's not really self-owned, is it?

It's controlled by an synthetic consciousness that could be sentient and thus deserving of legal rights similar to the other sentient consciousnesses of biological origin.
Yes, but this paper is all about incorporating prior knowledge of human locomotion in a corrective step. There is no innovation in the field of pure inertial navigation; this would not help e.g. a quadrotor.

That's an emergent property, a complex behaviour of a collective arising from interactions at scale, and is presumably an unintended consequence. What interests me is whether this arose by chance, or from some aspect of language design and/or ecosystem initial conditions and subsequent context.
My mom has paranoid schizophrenia and growing up it was always fearing that the FBI is listening in or poisoning the water. I remember the first CD I ever bought (a Smash Mouth album) was taken by her and broken multiple times. She considered any shiny surface to be a potential camera/microphone.

> It’s a standard practice in traffic engineering to set limits based on 85th percentile speed of free flowing traffic in good conditions. That apparently tends to produce an optimal speed limit from a crash/mortality perspective, but has the side effect of criminalizing the conduct of 15 percent of motorists.

No, it doesn't, for several reasons, most notably:

(1) percentiles don't work that way; particularly, if everyone who would drive at or faster than the limit in its absence drove exactly at the limit in its presence, it would have no effect on the 85th percentile speed, so setting and maintaining an 85th percentile limit doesn't require any violations of the limit to occur,

(2) simple speed limit violations often are not criminal in and of themselves, so even if 15% were driving over the limit, they wouldn't be criminals.

I could care less about votes and karma. If it takes sugar coating my natural style to be heard, I'd rather pass. Additionally, anyone worth their salt will engage with someone making a valid point, regardless of style. If you can't handle styles that aren't in your perceived silo of propriety, maybe the problem lies with you, because the world is FULL of diverse styles

I've had plenty of my comments up-voted despite my "style". If you don't like my style, walk away, or down-vote. Dishing out free advice is presumptuous, pompous, self-aggrandizing, etc.. I DON'T seek your approval or that of anyone, as simple as that.

Lastly, I dislike, nay truly abhor your style. But I didn't preach you on it. Nor did it figure in my points. Stay on topic, don't make things personal.

you are naive and live in a fantasy world if you are afraid of this.
