I suppose you're suggesting there's a distinction between someone losing x hours of life due to travel time vs. someone being killed and losing y hours of life. I'm sure you can see why someone attempting to create a reasonable policy might avoid making that distinction.
I disagree. How is the OS supposed to know the difference?

If you want to make a nice animation, how about not including an audio track? Or using the attributes to specify it should be played muted so it won’t cut my audio by default (what YouTube and others do).
Yeah at sufficient speed one can't differentiate plastic from some other object that could damage one's vehicle.
PairingMatrix 2.3 is released with GitHub enterprise support
If they get cracked, it's not the cardholder's problem. They have all of the risk.
I'm not sure about that... I already order outside Amazon when search results show a significant price disparity between Amazon and other vendors. I usually do my product searches in Google when looking for something specific. If the Amazon result is close, they tend to get the sale. There are plenty of times they aren't.

This is looking worse and worse for Uber.

I'm not sure how you can interpret what you're quoting as saying anything else.
Housing is something like 1/3 of CPI.
The thing is that if they are real they'll be doing exactly this developer play right about now - a compelling product without any software at release would result in a lot of disappointed early adopters - you can't use this as a proof for (or against) vaporware

It's worth noting that Weta just announced yesterday that they are jumping in with both feet

I'm sure Facebook is useful for organizing groups and events, but not everyone uses it (yet). I'm not signed up to Facebook (for what I feel have been proved valid reasons over the years), and I feel excluded each time it's required to participate in some event. It's good if organizers can use Facebook as an additional means of organization, rather than assuming it is both necessary and sufficient.
dude, what are you talking about...?
This statement is either very poorly thought out, or needlessly accusatory and inflammatory.

I would say that if you claim that a massively complex system like public traffic, with thousands of participants, many of them badly or completely untrained, can be organized in such a fashion that any and all accidents can be prevented, the burden falls on you to show how.
> Sounds like Uber's platform may not be up to that standard yet, which makes me wonder why they're on public roads.

Uber cutting corners and playing fast and loose with legislation? Unheard of!

Here's hoping they get hit with a massive, massive wrongful death lawsuit.
> > that software engineers should be held responsible for something that (as far as we can tell so far) was an accident and not the result of negligence or malice

> Nobody said that.

Well, they quite literally did, because the original comment in this thread was:

> We need to discuss how the developers self-driving cars will be held accountable for the crimes they commit. There is no reason the person who programs or the person who makes money from a self-driving car should be held less accountable for a crime that if committed directly by a person would almost certainly result in jail time. You can’t replace yourself with a computer program and then choose to take only the benefits and not the responsibilities.

I guess you can quibble about the difference between "accountable" and "liable", but that's not a discussion that's particularly interesting to have here, especially given OP's other comments in this thread which make it quite clear that this is what they had in mind.
You can use any domain you like, although I don't think I've documented that. Just point any domain at 46.101.33.42 and it'll work.

(But obviously it needs to be a hostname you're not already using for something else).
While I agree that the AV safety record is better than the human one, how is "you gotta kill random bystanders to make an omelette" okay just for this one industry? (As opposed to e.g. medical or military testing)
Autopilot is not self-driving. The autopilot mode disengages if your hands are not on the wheel. Furthermore, users are advised to only use it in relatively safe situations.

Hey everyone! We wanted to show you the launch page for Webflow Ecommerce that we built using Lottie Web and Webflow IX2. It was our first time using Lottie Web, and we were really stoked to try it on a Webflow site. Let us know what you think of the intro hero animation. That was the part built in Lottie.
The Amazon store app on my phone indicates something different from what you are telling me.
> Actually there was a metric of accident per distance drived. It was often pull out by Tesla before their first fatal accident last year (IA didn’t saw rear of truck because of sun or smthg like that).

I'm curious to see that, do you have a link? That would actually be a valid comparison.
Consider that autonomous braking systems know the distance required to stop and activate appropriately. Try getting a human to mimic that.
No, it isn't, because it's a productivity technology and those are not relevant to the Malthus dynamic. You know what had a massively larger impact than the Haber-Bosch process? Agriculture.

But the development of agriculture made the world more Malthusian, not less.

In contrast, the Black Plague made Europe much less Malthusian by the simple expedient of killing maybe one person in three. This made everyone more productive without any accompanying technology gains. But the point isn't the productivity gain - it's the population drop.
I'm no lawyer, but I imagine that it wouldn't be hard to get a warrant for the dashcam footage. The fifth amendment is about speech, not possessions. Otherwise, all warrants would violate the fifth amendment.
What software developer would ever sign on to a project where they could be held criminally liable for a single bug?
Do you want software development to turn into healthcare, where every developer needs millions of dollars of malpractice insurance? Because shit like this will turn it into a healthcare like system real quick.

How else to interpreted that? When a single bug can cause loss of life, and given that this in a thread about Uber, it’s hard to draw other conclusions. By all means though, offer another perspective on how regulating industries with significant number of lives on the line can’t manage regulation. While you’re doing that, I’d point to the aerospace sector which seems capable of both innovation and regulation.
My partner is still on facebook, she has a "crazy aunt" who posts all manor of sensationalist bulshit, so she blocked her. An this is the crux of the problem, the complete information warfare asymmetry, this aunt is still plaguing her little pool of friends at the push of a button several times a day.

We could try and talk to the aunt, get her to stop, how difficult would that be? Probably very, and likely to cause offence. And if we extrapolate out how can we possibly get the millions of social media dopamine fiend "crazy aunts" out there to think more carefully about the bullshit they spread around the world?

And so another platform is lost to the bottom feeders.
What other situations did you have in mind?
rents, not house prices, unless I'm mistaken
Hi Maiku - we genuinely apologize for sending a negative first impression to you. Our goal was to receive feedback from as many developers as possible. While we didn't harvest emails from GitHub or StackOverflow, these emails were cold and we now understand this is not the best way to ask for feedback.
Me too. Discrete math was mainly combinatorics w/ an intro to probability. Then, probability theory was a separate requirement and, in addition to a Linear Algebra/ODE combo class, we had a CS theory class that covered Set theory, Proofs, Graph theory, TMs, etc. Most of these also had Math or Stats dept. equivalents.

These were our —typically— freshman/sophomore year CS classes (although I took a couple in my junior year) so I guess every school defines their requirements differently.
I'm a bit fed up of the childish negativity that always seems to be sent in Magic Leap's general direction.

Instead of putting energy into this I'd suggest pointing the energy towards creating something yourself.

To the Magic Leap Team - I am a believer :-) especially if you nail the stuff that others don't focus on like smooth interaction models (i.e. voice, gesture, 6DOF mobile controller etc.)
It's not a matter of principal, it's a matter of statistics. Even empty sidewalks are more dangerous to ride on than riding with traffic.
So what’s the follow up? Is OP still happy with their parts? Are they available for purchase at 1/10th the price on AliExpress now? Did they recoup their investment?
I think you're right, 97 is too early for an affordable computer with 2GB. But it wasn't just SGI that had those capabilities, I bought a used HP Visualize J2240 (manufactured circa 1997-8) in the early 2000s (like 2003) and it came to me with 2GB of RAM, with a max of 4GB. This machine was also very expensive when new, in the same range as the $35K SGI you refer to.
I'm glad it was useful! As far as the naming of pony-stable goes, we've had some conversations about that. We use Pony where I work, and sometimes we can confuse ourselves when someone says "Pony stable" (especially back when we were maintaining our own fork of Pony).
But in a way such comparison makes sense. It shows how much weight a company or a person had in the world or society of the day.
Regardless of what you'd like to think, actual costs and benefits of driving speeds would make a more compelling argument.
I'm speaking more of the current state of the self-driving cars I've been in - future improvements will likely narrow the gap or eventually surpass human abilities in most scenarios. How or when is the main question.
If it's a bike lane, it is not undertaking. It is a lane. You wouldn't blindly turn across another lane of traffic, why do you do it when it's a bike lane?

And the majority of deaths in London is due to turning transporters/trucks. They are purposely built such that the operator sits very high above and can't even see a bike or pedestrian unless it's many meters away, only by looking into one of 10 mirrors (but of course they don't). On a work site nobody moves these things unless there is an outside instructor, but on public streets we've decided to just blame whoever died. Or, if that fails, blame the infrastructure, even though we oppose any other kind of infrastructure.
If only there was this much outrage and discussion every time a human driver killed a pedestrian.
Yes, but the reason why biking on the sidewalk is illegal in most places is mostly unrelated to safety.

The only bicycle riders willing to get organized and lobby the legislators are the very most serious ones. These are the people who want to race along at 50 MPH.

The resulting laws force pitifully slow riders to be out in the street. Even if you can only manage 5 MPH, you have to be in the street.

Lots of us are too arthritic, too fat, too weak, too inflexible, too limited by lung capacity, too limited by heart capacity, and too limited by cheap steel mountain bikes from Walmart.

So our choices are:

a. break the law

b. annoy drivers and risk death

c. don't ride a bicycle
this is a behavior maybe only 0.001% of consumers do. buy a crappier phone
As skeptical as I am about crypto currencies, this is a really interesting application. Basically exploiting human greed. Thank you for sharing it.
It's not even about the bike lane. It's about not hitting a person. Beyond that, it's about understanding unforeseen circumstances.
This comment seems unnecessarily hostile. But, still, I'll change my previous comment from "there is" to "there may be" so that it's clear that I'm not claiming any data. Just guessing (reasonably, based on experience).
The penalty for walking outside a crosswalk is not death.
I would think it will be pretty standard product liability. With some assumptions (proper maintenance, software updates, etc., used in accordance with directions), it's hard to see liability for deaths and injuries not resting with the manufacturer. What's unusual for a consumer product is that, with the somewhat exception of pharmaceuticals, there aren't a lot of examples of consumer products that routinely kill people even when properly used.
This is the way it works in Copenhagen.
You can do a lot better than the normal US way. This is how the Dutch do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlApbxLz6pA
That sounds pretty much like how things are done as it is.

For instance, take a look at:

https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Pages/HW...

"The Tesla was equipped with multiple electronic systems capable of recording and transmitting vehicle performance data. NTSB investigators will continue to collect and analyze these data, and use it along with other information collected during the investigation in evaluating the crash events."
The Fall of a Star Trader
Indeed, history gives us ample examples, but I would‘t call humanity stupid because of that. Each and every such example is a ethical question that we have to solve one way or the other. Burying our heads in the sand will not make technologically and expensive self-driving vehicles go away. Neither will it prevent cheap self-driving clunker.
Let's say I become a customer (company hiring freelancers).

1. I connect the business bank account.

2. Your system gets compromised.

3. ???

...which isn't relevant because bikes shouldn't be in the intersection at all while the turn is being made. The bicyclist going straight has a red light when the turn lane has a green arrow, the turn lane has a red light when the bicyclist going straight has a green.

Perhaps I should have said "wait for turn indicator" instead of "no turn on red", that's a bit clearer.
Most of those things can be electrified. Even plastics could be electrified (i.e. use electrolysis to produce hydrogen from water and electricity, Sabatier reaction to combine that hydrogen and CO2 into methane, make the methane into various products. Or use electrolysis on the CO2 to make CO and combine that with hydrogen to make methanol and then polypropylene, or just use the Fischer Tropsch reaction to produce synthetic oil from hydrogen and CO as a kind of drop-in replacement for fossil fuels), although I'd bet that we'll just use oil due to the large inefficiencies involved.

So long term, the use for oil won't be for transport (or ought not to be) but for materials.
Are VHLLs Really High-Level? (1999)
Now, I'm not a fan of AV, but you're definitely jumping to conclusions here.
I wonder how many different "cultures" do drivers have?

People from different localities drive differently. I hope they use drivers from say, NY, LA, and various small towns to teach the AI.

People that lives in towns with ~ 10k people drive differently that a new yorker on the same town.

EDIT: They might be training with a biased sample
May give them another shot... I intended to try them for a month a couple years ago (left after about 2 weeks, well short of a full month). The results were so much worse for me than google. Having some insight into the usage details they get from analytics cannot be underestimated.
My biggest concern is that test drivers can and have done the 'hard parts' of a lot of test routes, making the overall miles driven statistic kind of useless as a representation of the driving ability of the car.

But yeah, I'd agree there's a lot of difficulties expecting a test driver to immediately take over in a sudden event like a bike entering the roadway.
New release of SpaceVim 0.7.0
The game provider knows the scratch-off ticket is a winner or a loser the instant that it is printed. It now has to come up with some way to prevent that knowledge from reaching all the retailers in their distribution network and all the players.

Every such scheme is potentially flawed and subject to attack. I reference the McDonald's "Monopoly Game", that was subject to insider cheating for years before it was discovered. Scratch-off tickets are subject to similar attacks, as well as simple mathematical strategy attacks that transfer gambling advantages from naive players to well-informed players, skewing the published odds.
Why am I not surprised Uber is the first company to kill someone. With their top notch ethics, ah. This actually makes me really angry, more than I had anticipated.
Just curious: Do tech companies “pay” the state so they can try out their latest and greatest? Or do they look for states with the least amount of restrictions?

Craft beer isn't a good staple to base price measurements on, the industry is affected by regulations that other industries don't have to bear (liquor tax, compliance regulations, etc). Also craft beer is susceptible to fads and popularity, so it can experience "fashion pricing".
Bringing Services to Updater
Generally speaking, that's one of the best ways to get me to not use your site - It's both inconvenient and shows your security team to be incompetent.
I don't think that is a fair comparison/calculation, autopilot is not "autonomous" (or not as autonomous as the Uber experimental car involved in this crash), and the demography of Tesla drivers is most probably much off "generic" car drivers, and driven miles, which include any kind of car (in the sense of including older cars in bad maintenance state or simply with inferior braking and steering systems when compared to brand new cars) and any kind of drivers (in the sense of drivers at a higher risk of accident).
Great point. You would actually use your standard contract with clients as you do now so your clause would still be active. We have a dispute process in place now if a client steals code without paying for it, it ultimately triggers an investigation and can impact client's reputation within our system.
Thanks again!

I'll have the mechanic hoist it again and have a good look. For liability if nothing else, I'll probably have to find a lift I can borrow and do the job myself, but first I'll make sure the entire exterior of the seam is accessible while the tank is in place.

I never saw a drop (re drips) until just a month or two ago -- when I parked for a day over some fresh snow. So, it may be too late, now, but it's worth a shot. I also can put 8 gallons into an empty tank without the problem manifesting. If I can somewhat seal and protect the seam from the exterior, per your suggestion, I can also stick to partially filling the tank, most of the time.

The car only has about 135K on it, and the interior is pretty much spotless while the exterior has had only a couple of nascent rust spots that I've actively kept under control. Until this winter; I had to switch detailers and the new one seemed to create paint chips rather than mitigating them. I used to do most of this work myself, but health has had me seeking help.

Anyway, it really seems worth getting the extra year or two out of it, if I can.

As for the alcohol blend fuels, I was aware that they help significantly in keeping the tank "dry". It's been my understanding that they may also contribute to the lower instances of "vapor lock" that we see, these days. At least, at my mild altitude and (mostly) non-extreme environment.

Applying an exterior coat does sound like an interesting idea. One concern I would have, is whether if and as it deteriorated, it might trap moisture and corrosives next to the tank, turning from protectant to trap and accelerant.

I used to rinse my undercarriage extensively each spring, after the last of the salt was washed off the roads by rain. The last some years -- again, health -- I've gotten... well, I guess I could be self-deprecating and call it lazy. That may have made things worse, but 18 years of Chicagoland winters doubtless bear the bulk of the responsibility, regardless of such mitigation efforts. And I didn't have this car for the first 10 or so years of its life; the damage was already well underway.
The Racket School 2018: Create your own language
Corporate manslaughter is still criminal.
The thing you're describing is coincidence/confirmation bias, not a real phenomenon.
From what I understand, it installs a bunch of opinionated packages and then you're on your own. This isn't the same as "create a useful app in 30 seconds".
“I don't think they were ever upfront about what their device can really achieve before.”

They’ve been very upfront about this. The problem is all the noise that’s been generated by armchair critics who have spammed every article about them calling them a scam/vaporware/the next Theranos, etc.
...where breaking eggs means killing people?

There's no way for autonomous driving to become a reality without people dying?

I think we could achieve autonomous driving without needless deaths along the way. It might take longer, but I'd say it's worth it to, I can't believe I have to make this argument, avoid killing people.
> I'm not saying that autonomous vehicles are safer, I'm saying this isn't evidence that autonomous vehicles are less safe.

> And that's ignoring the fact that there are thousands of other situations in driving--even if autonomous cars fail 100% of the time in this situation, there may be enough other situations where they perform better enough than human drivers that they're safer. Simply saying that a car made a mistake in this situation doesn't give us any information at all.

But it does give us information. This incident, along with all the other incidents and non-incidents that do or do not occur, as measured by incidents per car-mile. One cannot simply wish away this one incident and make it disappear. It is now forever part of the statistics which will either prove or disprove the hypothesis of autonomous cars being safer.

> I disagree: you can argue that the autonomous vehicles will behave the same given the same inputs, but they will never have exactly the same inputs even if the situation were identical to a human observer, so that's a fairly moot point.

It's not a moot point. Yes, this exact scenario with these exact parameters only occurred once. However, we can still reasonably argue that if we reversed time and replaced that exact Uber autonomous driver with another instance of the autonomous Uber driver and turned time back on, it would have reacted exactly the same. The same way that I expect the same version of Notepad to open my text file exactly the same on this computer as on another computer. The alternative being that there is some undeterministic behavior in the driver that is not tied to input... In which case, good luck with that in court.

However, we cannot make that same argument by replacing human drivers. Because each human is, in fact, different.

This is only important in the context that a fanciful revocation of Uber's "autonomous driver's license" would apply to all instances of the autonomous driver, since they would all have been reasonably expected to perform the same.
