There is no brake involved with cruise control. What you are describing is bad drivers who do not use cruise control. It's actually extremely pleasant and predictable to be following a driver who is using cruise control. Following a well-regulated self-driving car would be similar.
If they just track human driver habits then we're no more safer! What's the point left about self-driving cars then? Free up drivers of even more responsibility when they kill people?

You're saying that it's ok for the media to attempt to influence people if you happen to agree with the message?
Nice, I really like this!
So? That is because the traffic is speeding. What sort of twisted logic do you have that someone has just been killed, and the point you want to make is that 3miles over is not really speeding?

This is exactly my thought. Being able to see detailed data about "friends" of the person who opted in, when the friend did not opt in with a "but don't use it" caveat, smacks of a :wink: :wink: and :nudge: :nudge: letting facebook sell data without permission after painting a thin veneer of deniability over it.
If somebody jumped in front of the car at the last second, it would be physically impossible to break in time.

...and if somehow the car was able to stop that quickly, its occupants would likely be the ones fatally injured if they weren't solidly strapped in.
...and then there's admitting (on film) to using bribes and sex workers to entrap politicians, amongst other illegal shennanigans. I can totally understand why Facebook suddenly want to distance themselves from Cambridge Analytica.

The 512-bit RSA keys are a distraction. You're allowed to not care about the security of your own domain, but if your DNS hosting provider does not, and you do, get a better DNS hosting provider, all but two (of any size) use stronger keys.

ECDSA P-256 and P-384 are widely deployed. New algorithms will take some time to be widely supported by peer resolvers, just as TLS 1.3 will take time to be widely supported by web sites (browsers are more agile, but many websites still don't do forward-secrecy with TLS 1.2).

Algorithm agility is a thorny problem.
Driving the speed limit is frequently unsafe, e.g. in adverse weather conditions or unusual street conditions (like when passing an adjacent block party with lots of adults and children milling about.

The speed limit is the maximum speed limit in ideal conditions.
Agree with part of it but no, pedestrians do not have an equal obligation. With power should come responsibility. In America, we seem to do the opposite, disassociate responsibility with those in power and blame victims.
they were destroying evidence, of course.

hopefully the people responsible will go to prison for interfering with the investigation.
> Responsible, ethical, and careful developments of dangerous technology, even if the danger promises to be reduced compared to the norm in some future iteration, is a must.

Agree. And I'd like to see an approach similar to an NTSB investigation of an air crash. Not to place blame, but to identify root causes and mitigate the chance that they recur.

Air travel is exceptionally safe. Has been for many decades. Yet we still investigate any air crash because any crash means something went wrong, perhaps something that can be corrected.

Self driving cars need to be treated the same way, at least for now, and until well after they have demonstrated themselves to be safer than human drivers.
> With a public blockchain (or something like it) you could always look up your vote and by nature it cannot be changed.

So all you have to do is to set up a fake website advertising "Look up if your vote is counted as it should be", let people type in their credentials, and you now know exactly how millions of people have voted.

Paper ballots work because it's dead simple. Your ballot goes into a box, multiple eyeballs from multiple parties continuously watch the box, and then the box is opened and everything in it is counted, with no way to connect each ballot to individual voters. That you cannot "look up your vote" later is not a bug: it's a feature.
Video evidence hasn't been released. I don't even know if it's been said what lane the Uber vehicle was in. It's possible she walked out from the center median and far enough that the impact would be on the passenger side of the Uber AV. But that would suggest she did so at a distance that the Uber vehicle could at least begin braking, even if it was still too late (in the same way train operators can hit the brakes despite it being way too late when first seeing a car on the tracks).
The (stereotypical) farmer can surely tell you what would be useful to him and be a great beta-tester who gives valuable feedback.

But if the product is, say, some kind of automatic corn harvester, he’s pretty unlikely to give you much insight into the way to actually build it.

The SV techies have no monopoly on expertise in robotics and hardware and software engineering, but they certainly have expertise. They’re in a much better position to automate farming than farmers are.

There's a paved area in the median that seems pretty useless since there's no sidewalk or crosswalk that connects to the median at that point:

If the Uber car was about to turn left at the upcoming intersection it might have been getting into the leftmost turning lane at the point of impact. The pedestrian would have been obscured by a slight curve in the road, vegetation, a road sign, and their bicycle.
>> People will vote me down because the idea of a speeding self driving car sounds scary

Or because they don't think that speed limits are set so that everyone can keep under them- but so that keeping under them means you're driving safely.
Yes, but blockchains are a particularly suitable form of this technology, because they are decentralized. Not in the sense that people normally mean, mind you, but simply because they allow the unsynchronized, simultaneous submission of votes from around a country in a technically convenient way.
Wouldn’t that be mitigated by the GPS and the map? It would seem that an automated car using maps as an important input would no its exact position and therefore speed.
Currently, Google Drive is telling me: "Wow, this file is really popular! It might be unavailable until the crowd clears. Try again." (Page title: "Too Many Requests")

Nice appeal to authority.
This is the way to go, and it would help (I think) to ease the calls I’ve seen around for holding individual devs responsible. The point is not to collect scalps, but prevent tragedy and malfeasance. Holding companies responsible, sure, but some random programmer who missed a bug being the scapegoat seems like a way to ensure companies avoid responsibility by foisting it off on a low totem member; thst can’t be allowed to happen with lives on the line. Like an aircraft, self driving car software is never going to be the work of a single Dev. The NTSB isn’t perfect, but as these things go, very admirable.

IIRC the NTSB is investigating this case too.
If you would trouble yourself with actually reading the article, you'll find explanation right there in the text.
Or you could just stick to proved, simple reforms that have been introduced in Australia over the last century or so.

Cryptography is powerful, but it tends to be on such an absurdly higher level of assurance inside its narrow applications that it becomes very attractive to try to stuff everything into it, whether or not that's warranted or useful.

Democratic legitimacy comes from the volume of participating individuals who trust and understand the system. Paper ballots are easily understood, independent electoral commissions improve trustworthiness, election scrutineers ensure every room has mutually suspicious observers highly motivated to detect problems, compulsory voting helps ensure the median voter dominates policy and preferential voting helps prevent minority candidates from inverting majority preferences against bad candidates.

None of these require a blockchain. It is a distraction from the actual reforms that will make the important differences.
That's a disingenuous transcript. "They're rapists" is much more likely to be, "their rapists". And it makes a big difference. (as in, "...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, their rapists.")
In other words, they aren't sending their best, they are sending drug dealers, criminals, rapists, etc.

That's completely different than that transcript's implication, which would be like saying, "they aren't sending their best, they are sending their drug dealers, their criminals, and all of them are rapists as well."

Unless you aren't a native speaker, I'm inclined to believe that you are being willfully disingenuous by spreading that the latter was what he meant to say.

Trump has enough insanity that no one needs to make up stuff to make him look bad.

This is just like the other stupid "bigly" meme. Even linguists have had to weigh in to agree that he was saying "big league" not bigly. Again, his grammar and syntax is elementary enough that we don't have to make crap up.
That’s nice but the “entire chapter” you mention is three pages, divided into three platforms, so less than a page per platform including screenshots, which means really about one or two short paragraphs per platform. I really don’t want to take away from what you’ve done, but to say there is an “entire” chapter is not really getting the point of the comment you replied to. Installation may indeed be coverable in so few words, but I think what is missing is coverage of what it takes to go back and forth between different versions (using ‘python’ versus ‘python3’ on the command line doesn’t begin to cover it), although personally I will be happy when we no longer have to do that.

I am glad to see you are basing things on Python 3.
OMFG I can't believe that was a true comment, I thought it was just a tongue in cheek, too on-the-nose throw comment.

They should not be able to speed arbitrarily, but it seems sensible that they would match the prevailing traffic speed.

One car carefully observing a 30mph limit creates a hazard when everyone else is going 35-40.
Yeah, I saw that too. It's such a weird construct since, as you say, there is no legal way for someone to follow the median paths and cross either of the streets. In fact, how are pedestrians supposed to get on the median in the first place (legally, I mean)?

From the New Times:

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/medical-cannabis-extract...

> That spot is east of the second, western-side Mill Avenue bridge that is restricted to southbound traffic, and east of the Marquee Theatre and a parking lot for the Tempe Town Lake. It can be a popular area for pedestrians, especially concertgoers, joggers, and lake visitors. Mid-street crossing is common there, and a walkway in the median between the two one-way roads across the two bridges probably encourages the practice.
That's just silly.

This was one currency and bad behavior used to obtain it doesn't even reflect on that.

"they're rapists" doesn't make sense here. I'll bet 100 to 1 he said "their rapists".
I am invested in cryptocurrency, but cryptocurrency really has nothing to do with this. Blockchains are a convenient cryptographic solution to secure elections. There are definitely others, and the fact that blockchains are a convenient solution to this problem should have any implications for the price of any cryptocurrency, because cryptocurrencies rely on distributed consensus algorithms that aren't necessary in the context of elections (where precise temporal ordering doesn't really matter).

Don't get me wrong - there's a ton of hype around blockchains that is completely unjustified. But there are a few applications where it may have some utility, and I think this is one of them. So it irritates me when I see people on HN jump on the "blockchain therefore hype" bandwagon without spending the time to actually think about when this sort of technology is useful and when it isn't.
Yeah, I think you'll see PHPUnit in Symfony projects pretty typically as well. Also Guzzle.
Does the same hold true for WhatsApp?
Responsible and ethical are usually not words which are used together with Uber, but in this case it seems like it was simply an accident. Computers cannot beat Physics, if the woman suddenly stepped in front of a car which is unable to brake, it’s a tragic accident.

The idea of the investigations compared to air-travel is pretty good and also much easier to execute given they record everything on camera.

Much the same as iOS exists as a fork of OSX and shares the kernel and a lot of userland frameworks, Windows Phone 8 and 10 were just forks of Windows and shared the kernel and even more of the userland. It's unlikely Microsoft would want to open-source that.

They already do that for speed limits - iirc Waymo cars will 'go with the flow' to a certain extent if everyone around them is speeding. Swerving out of your lane (assuming it is safe to do so) to avoid a collision seems pretty straightforward.
Do you have a source for this? It sounds a bit hard to believe. If the police believe that evidence was/is at risk of being destroyed (as you are implying), they could get an emergency search warrant immediately, even outside normal court hours. In the U.S., there are magistrate (warrant) judges on call overnight for exactly this type of situation; I imagine a similar system exists in the UK.
The article, from how I read it, is not suggesting single-implementation interfaces are the problem but instead where those interfaces are stored. The package accepting the interface should define the interface it needs (and perhaps that package defines the mock implementation), and the implementation should exist somewhere else.
The company I work for, until this month, primarily employed contractors for all development work. When asked why a commonly used utility nearly always segfaulted at exit, response was: it's normal, just ignore it. Part of the reason they are no longer employed by us.

Well, yes & no: Facebook doesn't sell the data itself, but they do give it away when a user agrees when using an app or service mediated by Facebook. That seems to be what happened here: Users took a personality survey, and their data along with the data of their friends made its way to CA.
The value lies in sometimes demonstrating a channel is insecure. It won't always do so. Obviously the converse--proving a channel is secure--is much harder.

I don't think it has commercial value really. But for social awareness, showing that mail, or notes, or storage providers aren't always as private as you'd hope, that's where the value is.
Interesting how whataboutism became a common use term recently -- when people started pointing out hypocrisy, suddenly we care about whataboutism?

The Most Motivating Financial Chart I’ve Ever Seen
And I'm a bit fed up with the fanboyism over vaporware and the lack of perspective while simultaneously accusing those who /have/ perspective as being lazy.

I, for one, /did/ try creating something at that company. Instead all I got was a cut in pay, overwork, and a lack of career prospects while still being required to play roles with rediculous levels of responsibility under working conditions even OSHA would find intolerable.

Mind you, this was all happening while being told that my many years of experience actually shipping consumer products at other companies was worthless and that the failed leadership forklifted from Nokia would save the day as they proceeded to continue making short-sighted decisions and ignoring the experience they hired.

No, I will /happily/ sit back and watch and heckle. And why am I not starting my own thing? Because when they fail to deliver the ill-defined "magic" they so heartily promise, they will destroy an entire field I used to have faith in actually taking off. Funding will dry up and VCs will turn away after this fiasco.

Believe what you want, but keep your accusations of lack of trying to yourself.

The article mentions a Xamarin application -- that sounds interesting. I'd like to hear more about how far this approach can be taken in a single-process application. Are they using an existing message bus, or did they build one?

I'm more familiar with the traditional (SmallTalk-style) MVC setup where the data model entities implement the observer pattern. In that case, observers subscribe to change events by attaching themselves to model values (event sources). I guess MOP differs from this by replacing centralised model value objects with some kind of identifiers used to key message bus subscriptions (?).

I can actually see a case for case-insensitive password provided that other security measures are in place, and that there is an entropy requirement somewhere. I doubt that is the actual reason why those banks have it implemented, but it could certainly be argued that people will remember their passwords better if case is not an issue; and lets face it, most remember-able passwords will either be all of one case, or have the first letter capitalised. Goes back to the saying "Security at the expense of usability comes at the expense of security".

This argument is based on the assumption of passwords needing to be remembered, which is certainly debatable from a security POV, but it a very common use pattern by humans.
