Your breaks will always work, regardless of any electrical systems. You might lose boosters, but I doubt it, given that the car still has electrical power.

Some newer cars come with electrical parking break, and those will refuse to engage if you're moving. A lot of people in this thread seems to confuse this with actual breaks.

Ask HN: Recommend a dedicated server provider that doesn't mind port scanning
Hey HN,

As part of a research project I conduct internet-wide IPv4 scans (usually ports 80, 443 and ICMP). I also do DNS lookups across all .com/.net domains and reverse DNS lookups across all active IPv4s.

I'm building a daily timeseries for all of this, and I publish most of the raw data online, for example: https://mirrors.sorengard.com/zmap_scans (not a commercial link or service). It comes out to about 200GB/day. I also keep PTR records mapping each of my scanning IP addresses to a host that explains it's non-targeted research, it doesn't look for specific vulnerabilities or exploit them, etc.

Unfortunately after a couple of months of doing this my current hosting provider has asked me to stop the scans or leave the service. They're nice about it, they're just rebranding and no longer want to allow port scanning. So now I'm looking for (preferably dedicated) server providers that don't mind public scanning activity as long as it's non-threatening.

Thanks!
I wouldn't point to gerrit as an example of self-hosting git. Gerrit's "patchsets" and "change-id"s concepts, as well as the weirdo remote push refs, really turns the git experience into something... very different. It's very far from both how "normal" git commits and tracking branches workflow work, and from github/gitlab/bitbucket's pull-request/merge-request style.
You have a good attitude on this; thank you.

> Are brakes "fly-by-wire" now?

Absolutely not. Cars have dual redundant hydraulic systems which are operated mechanically by the brake pedal. Other systems affect this (such as vacuum assist, ABS, AEB etc.) but the foot brakes should still work (poorly) even if the car is totally unpowered.
Don't know it isn't my puzzle. Maybe I'm wrong and this isn't the solution and there is still some way to go.

> the ability of the dealer to remotely control the car's operation (!!)

This could be misleading. From the small article at least, the only action I assume that was done was the cruise control being disengaged from it's faulty state. There is no evidence that a rogue service employee could play real life mario kart from afar (although it wouldn't surprise me).

I also somewhat expected this from a high end car manufacturer in this day and age. Why is this inherently a bad thing? Surely it would do more good than bad, would it not?

What bothers me is the poor response time.

inb4 privacy concerns, big brother, etc. I'm thinking engine shutdowns during car chases (expensive vehicles are a target), etc.

My car has a manual transmission and factory cruise control and using the clutch does not disable the cruise control. The cruise control even rev matches shifts.

It's possibly Benz went to the trouble of doing a rigorous analysis of their ECU to verify that there were no faulting conditions that would impact safety and thus decided to use it as the backstop. The safety guarantee from the software could be compromised by an unauthorized modification.

Personally I don't like trusting safety systems entirely to software, but I could see it being a decision a big corporation makes to simplify manufacturing (cut costs).

Um, OK and rewriting history is a tactic favoured by fascists.

Now, where did that get us, nowhere.

There was no person of that public identity in existence at the time, doesn't that make it impossible for such a person to have done something. Suppose Chelsea Manning were now to revert to calling himself Bradley (a situation not without precedent), or choose a further name - why should that change how we report factual information about the past?

I don't really understand why objective information gets changed at the behest of personal preference in this way.

Shouldn't it be "Bradley Manning (now called Chelsea)"?

I prefer objective to polite.
I don't know if he had a choice.

He has been incarcerated. He might have faced further incarceration by not disclosing. He was also hardly alone in his view.

Chelsea, meanwhile, knew that what she was doing had risks. She ended up having to face the consequences of her actions.

I'm glad she's released. But ultimately she is responsible for her actions and the outcome of her actions.

Simplistic again. Most of Manning's snitching didn't help anyone but the Taliban.
I don't know specifically in Manning's case, but yes, in general in the US, knowledge that a crime is about to be, is being, or has been committed can make you an accomplice and expose you to criminal liability.

In not all cases will knowledge alone necessarily be enough to convict you, but that doesn't mean a prosecutor might not try. An ex-con should probably not take the chance that a prosecutor will ignore prior knowledge of a criminal act.

Edit: I shouldn't say "knowledge alone." I should rather say that knowledge alone plus a zealous prosecutor. And then throw in prior conviction... Just a risky proposition. Knowledge alone with no other factors to tempt a prosecutor will probably not put you at any greater risk.
I think if you compare crash-per-mile-driven or crash-per-hour those figures won't even be in the same universe.
Launch HN: Hexel (YC W18) – Create a cryptocurrency for your community
Hi, we're the founders of Hexel (https://www.onhexel.com), in the current YC batch. Our product lets anyone create a cryptocurrency (an ERC20 token on Ethereum). You don't sell it or do an ICO, you just create it and start using it right away. It's supposed to be fun!

Cryptocurrency is still in a very experimental phase, but most cryptocurrencies out there seem aimed at a serious, large-scale technical problem (not to mention the get-rich-quick schemes). We're helping people create currencies for interesting things they actually want to try using now.

So far, we've seen some cool use cases. To name a few:
A gaming streamer is rewarding his most loyal viewers with tokens they can redeem for shoutouts or merchandise.
A hip hop website is giving tokens to content curators and using them for giveaways.
A few Discord channels have created tokens to use as a form of upvotes in their communities (and we think this could be cool for subreddits too).

We also provide tools for managing and tracking the token you make. This is free, but we plan to make money by charging for advanced features in the future. Right now on Hexel, you can do the following:

1.) Mint tokens and airdrop them to anyone with an Ethereum address

2.) Share a public page for your token, with information and a UI for sending that token to others

3.) Explore other tokens created on Hexel, subscribe to the ones you like, and request tokens from the creator

4.) Message your token's subscribers with updates or info about things you're doing with your token

5.) View a feed of payments made using your token

Although the ICO bandwagon and hype have left many people feeling cynical about cryptocurrencies (we feel that way ourselves), we're optimistic that there are many more potential applications and cool use cases out there. Our goal is to widen the space, make it interesting again, and make other use cases easy to explore. We'd love for anyone to poke holes in the use cases you see on the site, and even better would be feedback on use cases were you think this could be really useful. Thanks so much for any ideas you have!

Thanks!

It sounds bad to you because you weren't conditioned. People are stuck in lower 'castes' even these days in the most progressive countries in the world. Where's the justice in that? You have thousands if not millions of intelligent people across the world having a bad stroke of luck and being born in a different country to the wrong parents.

We all have our prison walls. To pretend that the biological walls are somehow more horrifying and cruel than sociological or economical is, in my opinion, lunacy.
Next World Collider will be built in China.

They are about the only major country increasing government R&D funds.

The only exception would be if there is a breakthrough technology 100x more cost effective, i.e. you could build a 10x power LHC for a tenth of the cost. I see press releases of breakthroughs using lasers or EMF. But very unclear if they'd scale up to a petavolt.

Probably could build a pretty powerful accelerator using the world's electricity devoted to bitcoin mining :-)
Was this untested or something?

I certainly don't see any unit tests as part of the commit that triggered this issue

(Yes, even, or perhaps especially, command line commands should be tested, somehow.)
Dumping stuff in the woods can be a serious crime. Sometimes you are cycling through an idyllic remote area and you find someone has dumped a lot of asbestos there right there on the trail.

Even if it’s not a seriously dangerous substance, making the landscape ugly like that is still a really shitty thing to do to your fellow citizens. I think it would be great if more dumping violations could be prosecuted.
Don't tell me it's the ACPI hard shutdown signal, that would be scary.
Or would be a lot safer and more efficient if everyone just went a constant speed on the freeways. My cruise control also operates he brakes so my set speed is held going up and down hills.

Not to mention it's also common to include "we can change the terms at any time" - and of course, there's also the fact that this issue in specific has nothing to do with a ToS violation, but with permissions on the parent repository, by relying on them with no backups you're not only subject to their staff's whim, but to the whim of any bugs or "features" in their code.

If you want to take advantage of their infrastructure, that's fair, I understand, but at the very least, run some tooling to backup issues, pull requests, wiki pages, etc on a regular basis.
You met Adrian Lamo at 2600 meetings and wouldn't invite him to parties. Other people in the community were close friends with him and allowed him to stay in their homes for weeks or months. I don't know him really at all, but I think this is a poor way to sum anyone up.
It's also just cool. The thoughtful variety of things people are finding to do with ultrafast lasers is both awesome and inspiring.
> On the other hand, he was a traitor, and he betrayed the trust of a true hero

I don't know. I have a hard time with calling Chelsea Manning a true hero. While some of the information that she leaked was useful in exposing war crimes, there was a lot more that wasn't particularly relevant exposing military abuses, but was used by enemies to track down and kill those who were collaborating with the US.

> in order to put more unaccountable government power in the hands of people like Donald Trump

I'm not sure how what Adrian Lamo did would have given more power to Donald Trump. In fact, it's Wikileaks that ultimately wound up being critical in the election of Donald Trump; by dumping a lot of not particularly noteworthy private campaign emails, but which could be picked through and made to extend some controversies and conspiracy theories around Hillary Clinton, it was one of the key factors in getting Donald Trump elected.

While there has been some good, newsworthy information released on Wikileaks, it seems to have been corrupted by Russian influence, has a lot of alt-right tendencies including antisemitism (https://theintercept.com/2018/02/14/julian-assange-wikileaks... ); I think that overall, it has become a net negative on the world.

From what I can tell, Chelsea Manning meant well, did some good, but also did a lot of damage, including substantially raising Wikiseaks' profile. I think that whether to report the conversation with Manning to the authorities was likely a difficult one, but the concern about leaking significant amounts of non-newsworthy but potentially quite dangerous information was well founded.

> Did he commit suicide

I don't think that's been revealed; but his Wikipedia article reports on several past struggles with substance abuse. Based on that, and general statistics on causes of death at that age, suicide, overdose, or motor vehicle accident seem like the most likely causes (https://www.cdc.gov/injury/images/lc-charts/leading_causes_o... for the leading causes of death, https://www.cdc.gov/injury/images/lc-charts/leading_causes_o... for the breakdown of the injury deaths by cause).

Well, conventions are usually related to syntax. Then in some languages we talk about "idiomatic" solutions to certain problems. But style can definitely go beyond those two, and influence others like problem solving approaches, code structure, etc, which don't necessarily contradict conventions.
I haven't read any studies. Generally I'll bump up what I'm listening to, to 2x or 3x (if the person speaks slowly enough) so I can get through what they're saying more quickly.

But if it's something that's new to me, or highly technical, I'll follow up with a course, physical book, or create a study out of it in a different manner.
In the Brazilian voting machine this is often done. You type the numbers and it loads the candidate info in the screen. Once you click [Confirm] the screen gets blank with the message of success.

The comments here are honest, at least. Complicated people yield complicated discussions when they die.
The ABS system is based on monitoring the way the wheels move and comparing it to how a car can move, in particular since the car is either moving or not, if just one wheel is stopping but the others are not, that's clearly wrong and the ABS tries to prevent that by reducing braking for that wheel. Going from some minimum speed to zero on all wheels is fine, that means now the car is stopped (or, for example, you went off a cliff and are actually now flying through the air - ABS can't help you in this case).
Why can’t it be used for energy?

Most compagnon masterworks are a show of skill rather than practicality. Staircases are typically chosen because they are a recognizable item and involve most of the techniques required to be a master craftsman.

Compagnons in other professions don't have the luxury of having everyday objects that work well as a show of skill. Plumbers masterworks, for example, usually look like an intricate mess of pipes with no purpose. It doesn't speak much unless you know the trade.

Another thing to realize is that compagnons are not any workers, they are masters. Maybe few people want grand wooden stairs today, but some people do, and compagnons are the ones who are getting the job.

Good the world needs less PowerPoint
This comment is gross on several levels. Don't imply that people deserve suicide.
In the "good" old days there were several things you could do:

- turn off the ignition (now purely software-controlled in keyless systems)

- put transmission to neutral (a physical link doesn't necessarily exist anymore in automatic transmissions, still possible in manuals)

- jump on the brake pedal as hard as you can (I suspect that a hydraulic link to brakes must still exist, possibly by law, but there are ABS and stability control units in between that can add to or remove from the brake pressure so it's not entirely driver controlled anymore, could lead to a failure path)

- use parking brake to assist in braking (now often controlled by an electric motor automatically, doesn't engage while driving)

There were occasional similar failures like the accelerator pedal getting stuck under the floor mat or throttle cable getting stuck but you could do a number of things listed above. Cruise controls systems were heavily designed to disengage at the slightest disturbance because they were separate control modules: early vacuum-operated designs could—plausibly, I don't have first hand knowledge—have a microswitch in the brake pedal that would just pull a relay to shut off current from the control module, restoring normal accelerator operation. Pretty much bullet proof.

Software is indeed capable of creating failure modes that were pretty much unimaginable previously.
I also don't know how braking hard would damage the car.
We already tried this (ex. gasoline stations) and it doesn't work: there is no way someone who pollutes an entire aquifer with barrels of toxin can be made to financially or mechanically remediate it. It always falls upon the government to do so.

Ignoring, all the while, the absolute incorrectness of America being there in the first place. It was the USA who put those peoples lives in danger by starting a cold-blooded war against innocents.

Google Sheet's limit of 400k cells sounds like a lot, that could be as few as 40k rows with 10 columns (probably lot of them would be dimensional).
