A common method I've seen to get around that is to first hash the password with something like SHA512 before applying bcrypt. This allows you to use longer passwords as well as setting them all to a constant length for bcrypt (which can potentially remove a ddos vector).
I wouldn't say society has rejected the rail in America, but rather that the political structure has rejected the rail. There's a dominant paradigm in public transport that it must be run by the government (which ironically is somewhat counter to the broader american ethos). Yet there are places like Singapore where the public transport is run via (in the past fully, but currently partially) for-profit, publically traded companies, where the QOS is far higher than the US, and the service is markedly cheaper, and I would say, generally more accessible than it is in the US.

There would be considerable US pushback against such a system, sadly.

I think this is really key. The ability to put the blame on something tangible, like the mistakes of another person, somehow allows for more closure than if it was a random technical failure.
We're more than 25% through Trump's first term, so there's no need to rely purely on speculation of what policies he will "almost certainly advance"; you can just look at what policies he HAS advanced. And, frankly, I don't really see anything there that would benefit the heartland. His supporters might argue that the tax cuts will do so, but

(a) those follow closely a model that was already tried in Kansas, and, to say the least, Kansas has not thrived under them.
(b) even IF they were a success, it's hard to see how they would benefit the heartland MORE than the rest of the country.

I don't disagree with your analysis that making the heartland prosper would greatly benefit Trump's 2020 chances, but you're assuming a rational and capable actor here. Evidence so far would rather suggest that he's exactly the short-sighted, corrupt, and lazy person that many people thought he was all along.
They don't have to be right in the assessment, they just have to make it look like they tried real hard and any failures are not their fault.

For example steel tariffs are meant to benefit Trump voters (at the expense of the rest of the country). If it turns out they don't actually benefit Trump voters, he still gets points for being the only one willing to try.

It's similar to the security theater that the government uses to fight terrorism. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, because being seen trying and failing gives more points than not doing anything.

Tangent: is there a land vehicle designed for redundant control, the way planes are? I've always wondered how many accidents would have been prevented if there were classes of vehicles (e.g. large trucks) that required two drivers, where control could be transferred (either by push or pull) between the "pilot" and "copilot" of the vehicle. Like a driving-school car, but where both drivers are assumed equally fallible.

Germany here, we don't actually have "plenty" of rails for public transport, we love our Autobahn (no general speed limit!) and our cars, yet our vehicle fatality rates are among the lowest in the world (half that of the US).

The reason that fatalities are 10x higher in Asia is that people drive (and walk!) like lunatics and vehicle fatalities are just shrugged off.

Just be more orderly is basically what I am saying. Also eat more sauerkraut - it's healthy!
> I just find it disgusting that, as a company, they feel they have the right to act in such a way.

Facebook's culture has a pretension that their internal policies is something like the law itself:

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/facebooks-heading-towar...:

> Facebook is so accustomed to treating its ‘internal policies’ as though they were something like laws that they appear to have a sort of blind spot that prevents them from seeing how ridiculous their resistance sounds. To use the cliche, it feels like a real shark jumping moment. As someone recently observed, Facebook’s ‘internal policies’ are crafted to create the appearance of civic concerns for privacy, free speech, and other similar concerns. But they’re actually just a business model. Facebook’s ‘internal policies’ amount to a kind of Stepford Wives version of civic liberalism and speech and privacy rights, the outward form of the things preserved while the innards have been gutted and replaced by something entirely different, an aggressive and totalizing business model which in many ways turns these norms and values on their heads. More to the point, most people have the experience of Facebook’s ‘internal policies’ being meaningless in terms of protecting their speech or privacy or whatever as soon as they bump up against Facebook’s business model.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I can see how you're much more likely to grow and gain friendships and professional connections through Twitter the way you describe it. I agree, I use Facebook almost exclusively for connections with real-life friends, which is what I like about it.

I can't say I don't get some level of enjoyment from approval of Likes and so on, but it has more to do with the enjoyment of the connections I already have. I don't have the desire to seek out new people or get liked/appreciated by people I don't know. I don't really mean this as a judgement, perhaps I would once I got rolling on it, but from where I sit it's not something I desire/seek out. It sounds like you didn't, either, though -- until it happened naturally as you moved away from Facebook.
>system of insurance for engineers

Which, as someone else noted, exists and is probably a good idea if you're an independent consultant or possibly a professional (i.e. licensed) engineer who signs off on drawings or other documents for clients or regulators.
Oh man, I live in Melbourne, Australia and riding a bicycle here is terrible. The bike lanes are squeezed between parked cars and driving cars, with the risk of getting doored being really high (should be zero). And if you do get doored, the attitude of the person trying to kill you thinks that it is the cyclists fault.

Self driving cars can't come quickly enough.
The paper says: "The adjusted population attributable fraction for all-cause mortality was 18% (95% CI 10·9–26·1), equivalent to 412 000 (95% CI 250 000–598 000) deaths each year."

My opinion is still that translates better to "kills 412k per year" than "might kill up to 412k per year."

I could see "might kill up to 598k per year" or "kills at least 250k per year" from their confidence interval.

Why do you think it should say "might" and "up to"?
I completely agree with you, but also have an anecdote that argues for the parent's view.

I was driving a long roadtrip from Texas to California, split into a couple segments over several days. At one point, my adrenaline and heart rate suddenly spiked. I felt freaked out but could not see a reason for it. I checked all my mirrors, traffic was busy but seemed to be moving along normally. A few moments later my vehicle was rocked by a semi-truck blowing past, traveling much faster than surrounding traffic, and missing my vehicle by what seemed like an inch.

The roadway was curved slightly, so I think the semi was in a blind spot when I was actively searching for the problem.

It's interesting that a subconscious process could alert me to a problem, in this case it didn't help me resolve it, but at least I was alert and looking. It had never happened before so there was a bit of confusion as well (why am I suddenly freaking out?) - but now I know how to pay attention if that feeling happens again.
That's not true at all. The worst the state can do is to deny votes to be written in the blockchain by mining empty blocks. But no matter how much computing power it has, the state can't write false votes, thanks to public key cryptography.
If transactions where cheaper, voting on a public blockchain like Bitcoin would be a great thing. That's not the case today, but I'm pretty sure it will be in the coming years.

By that logic does every FB app that stores collected data on non-FB servers represent a breach?

The crucial point here is that the users authorized the app to collect the data. Facebook has an extremely extensive authorization system for you to grant apps access to your data. Did Kogan use this system differently than every other FB app? What technical measures did he need to circumvent in order to get access to the data that you say constitutes a “breach?”

To me, it looks like the system worked exactly as designed and intended. The only system he really circumvented is the honor system, which is about the only limitation on what an app can do with the data FB gives to it.

That's not a good comparison because self driving cars are on the road a lot more often than regular cars.
Some regulation I'd like to see for social network ads, at least for political ads:

- Make all ads publicly viewable along with the targeting demographics. So everybody can see, for example, that a politician is pushing xenophobia to older people.

- Some kind of ad "fake news" score associated with a campaign. This one is difficult, but I could imagine a score based on a mixture of "fake news scoring providers" from across the ideological divide and news orgs.

The point is to give voters some transparency into what a politician is actually campaigning on.
Sure, so make the regulation expensive. For example, if a company is not in compliance then the executive team can be charged for any crime their self-driving toy committed under their guidance.
Yup. Your database (as well as the majority of ports for other hosts) shouldn't be available from your corporate network either. 99% of corporate users don't need network access beyond a few ports to most hosts.
How can you reject something you never had or used? Almost nobody alive in the US today has ever engaged with general commuter rail. Trains as a common mode of transit died off with the rise of cars and planes post WW1 and had them near-eradicated post WW2.

You can't say people reject something they don't even know is a possibility.
Nobody in their right mind would work with such liability without insurance, which is all well and good for civil liability, but insurance won't help if you're going to jail.
in my area, our rail proposal was 1 billion for 9 miles of trail. Good luck putting everything on rails.

Ridesharing algorithms will 100% solve the problem of underutilised mass transit. Self driving isnt necessary.

Imagine shuttles that hold 10 people using uber pool algorithms and funded by the city.

People will be able to make their request and a nearby shuttle will pick all the people up in that area. The shuttles could do ad hoc transfers with other shuttles so people wouldnt even have to be going to the same area.

The algorithm would minimize the average ride time for everyone.

The #1 issue with mass transit is lack of convenience. Rideshare algorithms will eliminate that lack of convenience.
> There cannot be strong evidence both for and against something,

Of course there can be. Multiple cases exist. Light as a particle and light as a wave.
I think more importantly is that it was the prevalent attitude when potentially / probably core systems were being developed which are undoubtedly still in place, in some form, today, and that also very likely have carried forward those same biases. If you have little respect for your users outwardly then I'm sure it reflects itself in the code. I mean, isn't this how we've ended up with GDPR in the first place?
May be for now, autonomous driving should be limited to freeways and roads that dont have pedestrian crossings/pavements.

I'm watching the Channel 4 News special about this incident and it seems to me that there is a lot of serious unknowns. But perhaps I am just not up to date on everything.

Has Facebook released information on what data about friends of friends was "stolen" by Cambridge Analytica yet? From what I've seen, Facebook has known about this since 2015, so I assume they have a pretty good idea of this.
200k annual income is enough to service the mortgage on a luxury apartment on Manhattan proper without straining the budget too much. This is about owning, not renting.

I'll admit that I'm of the GP's mind in wanting to know what you consider to be "evidence". Because you keep reiterating this sentiment:

> I'm not saying that autonomous vehicles are safer, I'm saying this isn't evidence that autonomous vehicles are less safe.

It's true that we need to wait for more information about this particular incident -- which is exactly the caveat that the commenter you initially responded to had said [0]. But assuming the facts aren't abnormally different than what they seem to be -- an Uber AV hit and killed a jaywalker, how is that not evidence toward the argument that AVs are less safe? It obviously isn't conclusive evidence. But if Uber goes on to kill a pedestrian for every million miles driven, this first data point would surely be part of the empirical evidence, no?

This has a lot of artifacts and does not look better to me than full fledged games that have already been released.
Curious what you think the problems are. Drivers are a huge one IMHO (as the parent poster mentioned). From a tech perspective, perhaps the biggest one. The only other tech major tech challenge I see is getting app developer support (basically, what killed Windows Mobile).
If you are the only person seeing this behaviour, it is likely a bug in their system.

Many ages ago, on one of the most popular mail and news systems of the day, it turned out that myself and another person both managed to register the same username, each with a different password, but were assigned to the same account.

After a couple of weeks in which each of us would log in, see the changes the other did, undo them, change our own password, and mail the abuse team (which kept replying "no, we see that you did it yourself on xxxx"), we both realized what had happened, and started talking by emailing ourselves. Eventually, the other guy left the account to me (I had it for 2 years when he managed to register it).

It could just be a bug, rather than malice.
Except after the billions on self driving cars you still have horribly designed cities.

If there is anything to be nostalgic about the past over, its how civil engineering projects of such scale were a lot more feasible when the complexity of doing them was so much lower.
How would they go about marketing themselves correctly?
> maybe they want privacy

Every sci-fi movie of the last 50 years has solved that problem: you don't use trains; you put the cars on the rails (by grouping them together into roller-coaster-looking setups.)

> maybe they don’t want to ride on a rail

Same here: cars on rails can, in most conceptions, signal to the rail system to switch them onto an offramp that dumps them back onto a road.

Basically, here, "rails" are serving as safer replacements for highways. Every road that isn't a highway would still be a road. You're just enabling people to, effectively, "have their car take the train", rather than having to leave their car at the train's parking lot.
Maybe American developers have rejected the rail, but I don't think American passengers have.
Any chance they're going after SOC makers who provide binaries without source?
Actually, because there's a severe shortage of LIDAR sensors (much like video cards & crypto currencies, self driving efforts have outstripped supply by a long shot), machine learning is being used quite broadly in concert with cameras to provide the model of the road ahead of the vehicle.
Why Spatial Reasoning Is Crucial for Early Math Education
Sure, writing you now :)
The law is that pedestrians always have right of way

That actually depends on the state. “Arizona law requires pedestrians to cross the street at corners and/or designated crosswalks...[if] it seems unlikely that a driver should have avoided---as in a case where the pedestrian darts right out into traffic, then it may be that the pedestrian will be deemed 100% at fault for his/her injuries.” [1]

I’m sure that Uber will be sued over this, and they’ll probably settle quickly and quietly to avoid mass hysteria resulting from misleading headlines such as this one. But that doesn’t mean the jaywalking pedestrian isn’t at fault. Walk in traffic, die in traffic. It’s a pretty straightforward physics problem.

Hear, hear! Working exclusively in scss, maintaining orderliness and decent discipline, and having - like you - been at it for close on twenty years, I still keep a constant wary eye on my output screen, I still get regular surprises there, I still rely on the browser dev-tools, and I sorely miss the 3d representations they used to have, at least in Firefox.

Jawohl! Our Straßenbahnen kill people all the time, because they take part in regular traffic. If you walk in front of one, it can't steer away!

You need to put the trains below ground, or well above!
They're not even very good at that. The framerate of the VERY FIRST clip with the statue of liberty at the start of that video is horrendous.
This is not true at all. First of all, there's no such thing as being able to mathematically prove a design is sound in any engineering discipline, software or non-software. After all, it is infeasible if not impossible to encapsulate all the details of the implementation of _any_ system in mathematics or any other system of reasoning (down to every last atom, if you stretch your imagination).

All we have in engineering (non-software) is something like safety factors and confidence, and this is done with (usually) rigorous mathematical models as well as loads and loads of testing to fill in the gaps of mathematics (think unknown constant/parameters, assumptions, etc).

None of this is impossible to do for software. There are systems that enable one to do easy/entry level verification (such as something like TLA+), to much more complicated reasoning (something like COQ). This will allow the system designers to gain confidence in if the system will work and gain understanding about under what scenario they will fail. Contrast this with the existing software landscape, which is mostly, at least from my perspective, just let me write some stuff until things do approximately what I want. Even at the top of the ladder, I feel the tests conducted are "adhoc" at best and with none of the rigours that you associate with traditional engineering fields.

Students from elite schools have better leverage. All the big tech companies come to their university such as Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.. etc. for career fairs and on-campus recruiting. So those students are more likely to have multiple offers across those big names.

Whereas the no-name university need to hope their resumes stick out from 1000s on the job portal. So they have an even harder time just getting one of those "top" offers
