by "embedded video" are you talking about real-time video? Or recorded video. for recorded video you can use ffmpeg. for real-time live streaming, gstreamer might do? I'm not sure.

if you only need 1-to-1 video streaming, web-rtc can do and can be easily implemented.

if you need broadcasting, that's a bit harder.
I don't know how the system is integrated into the self driving logic as a whole. But a few years ago when we were working on a self driving train, LIDAR was used as a system that reports back a list of obstacles (position, size, maybe a simple shape descriptor) or as an obstacle map that is laid out in a grid and shows which cells are occupied and how high the thi g occupying the cell is.

If your system that processes the pointcloud and creates this data does not detect faulty (or missing) data from the sensor the higher level logic will happily hum along believing that nothing is amiss.

And some LIDARs even have the option to do the processing on the device itself (i.e. IBEO). In which case you can theoretically work with only a list of obstacles reported back by the sensor.
In his biography, Jacque Pepin (famous French chef) talked about how much better the food quality was in the US compared to his native France. He found American supermarket had amazing produce quality compared to the markets in France, where most of the good produce was reserved for elite chefs, leaving the rest of the people to settle for the scraps.
Most studies in this area show correlations, things like corporate boards with more women on them do better. Yes, there are obvious limitations to such studies.

Overall, we can probably safely say that

1. Too little diversity can be bad. For example, if you are making a product or a TV show that wants to reach as many people as possible, you should be aware of what those people would most want, and having your designers encompass those groups can help there.

2. Too much diversity can be bad. If your team all have different native languages then communication can be slower; if your team has extremely varied opinions on what you should be doing, you'll have many arguments; etc. Overall, an effective team needs focus and unity, and shared backgrounds can help there.

3. For political reasons, studies supporting 1 are far more likely to be conducted and published than 2. But that doesn't mean either that 2 is not true (which might seem the case because no studies support it) nor that 1 is not true (which might seem the case because of the political publication bias).
> If humans develop technology that allows hydrogen fuel to be safely generated at the pumping station

The technology to produce hydrogen from water at efficiencies far exceeding Faraday has been known since the 1970s. It was perfected in the 1990s. Toyota has been sitting on it for two decades. That's why they are still leaning towards fuel cells.

Permanent batteries were also developed in the 1970s. They are currently in use by the military.

The problem isn't technology and hasn't been for a long time.

The problem is the international slavery system runs on oil and will for the foreseeable future.

Looking at his LinkedIn profile, it seems like he was still in college then. He was wrong, of course, but I think his errors were pretty reasonable given his situation.

It's very easy for tech people to say, "But it's totally easy, you just [long string of steps that they've learned over the course of years]." It takes time to learn that no, easy things for you can be hard for others. If you want them to use the thing, you have to make it dead easy. I note that Apple made a shit-ton of money because so many tech companies (e.g., MP3 player makers) refused to really learn this lesson.

His second point, that USB sticks were still necessary, wasn't bad, just not forward-looking enough. He wrote it before the introduction of the iPhone, after all. But back then, high-quality connectivity was much less common. Then, Dropbox would have worked better for some than others.

And his third point was correct. Charging cash money is important.

So really, it's not a bad comment for a CS student. And it reminds me that I'm very thankful that most of my youthful opinion-spouting happened in offline and pre-web contexts.
Dropbox is on my list of reasons why I no longer naysay anything run by technical founders with some product sense. I remember hearing they were just essentially re-selling AWS storage back in the day (before they started building their own data centers). I thought 'why would anyone want to buy marked up AWS storage'. Then a few years later I learned to stop doubting great product focused entrepreneurs ever.
Germany: About 1 fatality per 10,000 cars per year, 4.1 fatalities per billion km driven per year, 38 fatalities per million people per year (2017). Relatively few accidents on the Autobahn, but the proportion of fatal accidents is higher. All in all, the Autobahn is fairly safe, in particular in relation to distance traveled.

USA: About 106 fatalities per million people per year (2013).

I suspect the difference is due to more public transport, less distance driven per person, and possibly more stringent driver education in Germany.

> While occasionally boycotts have encouraged changes, it typically only happens when other companies get involved.

The other companies getting involved are a result of the boycott and the attention driven by it, so that's just a mechanism of the effect of boycott's, not an indication that they lack effect.

And even if they are weak, that doesn't mean they aren't one of the most effective mechanisms consumers, as such, have to effect change: that would only be rebutted by the presence of demonstrably more effective methods available to consumers.

> While I get somewhat nervous about bureaucrats that don't understand technology writing overly broad laws, I do have to agree that legislation is often the most effective driver of change.

Outside of direct democracy systems (including limited direct democracies, like representative systems where citizens retain the power of initiative), legislation isn't a power of the people generally, but a power that the people can indirectly influence by other means. And citizen influence campaigns against government (especially when there are entrenched interests opposed) are not notably more efficacious than boycotts against businesses. (Indeed, boycotts against businesses are often resorted to -- and sometimes successful in producing legislative changes -- after conventional citizen activism directed at legislative change without boycotts fails.)

Without continued development of the language, C will be unable to cope with the needs of modern programming problems and programmers; as a result, it will fade into disuse.

C11 is pretty nice! C99 is too. One might think that "almost once a decade" is kind of slow for updates, but M$ have enough trouble keeping up with the current schedule. Of course TFA describes a possible direction for C2x, but they could have a more charitable attitude...

A magic notebook for the web.

http://ObservableHQ.com

Why is it cool?

* Every cell is live, reactive code that re-evaluates automatically whenever any of its inputs do. This includes awaiting promises and yielding new values from (potentially async) generators.

* A notebook can import and reuse any cell from any other published notebook.

* You have access to all of the computational goodies that the web platform gives you: graphics capabilities with <canvas> and <svg>, the GPU, the world's largest open source library with npm, and web APIs.

It's been interesting thinking about what it would mean to have a read/write medium for the web — where you're working with live values, and not in a "dead code" text editor. For just a teeny hint of some of the possibilities, check out Tom's autocompletion gif: https://twitter.com/tmcw/status/966073331207233536

Boycotts, kind of like protests, show to the government that people care. Specifically, it shows the people care enough to actually take action that takes effort.
That is a rather high level of caring.

So, it seems to me that boycots (and protests) are important for convincing regulators something is an issue.
Hugely sensible policy, I think, that contributes to the amazing safety record of aviation. I wonder whether it's the same for other modes of transportation.
"If you always keep this in mind: cell division -> cancer, so much will make sense."

I am not so sure this is a good heuristic.

An athlete, or even a moderately active (fit) person is inducing quite a bit of cell division due to the teardown and regrowth of muscle and bone, etc., caused by exercise.

However, activity and exercise seem to be (strongly) negatively correlated with cancer.

Instead, I think a better mental model is the winnowing of a population. When you subject your (muscles/bones/heart/lungs) to a highly stressful exertion, some of the cells just can't maintain that output and so they are killed off, or commit suicide by the process of apoptosis.

But if you never subject your cell population to an apoptosis-inducing level of stress, you're just cultivating an increasingly weak population of cells.

I highly recommend the book by Nick Lane titled: Power, Sex, Suicide which explores these topics...

It's the kind of diversity which is the most critical. It's mental diversity -- point of view diversity -- which should be the important factor.
They enforce rules of that association. Which may or may not be based on ethical standards.

PG had this comment about programming languages: The correct solution of a problem is the most simple solution. Just like in math, you can solve one problem in multiple ways, but the correct one is the shortest, beautiful looking one.

When I look at Rust, it gives the feeling "could be simplified". Obviously it's a new language and it comes with lots of cool stuff, but it looks ugly, doesn't excite those who seek simplicity.

If I had the time to invest in learning Rust, I'd use that time for building something new with any language that makes me productive.
I typically download it from the official website or a mirror. Sometimes I compile it, sometimes I don't. I typically only try to connect to my own servers, but I obviously connect to the open web in some circumstances. I sometimes do audit the code, but not always. I run a bunch of my own services, including a mail-server and some social-media stuff. The tools that I use to limit connections typically just turn off access to the internet as a whole, rather than to specific servers, though some of my firewall rules only allow certain things to hit certain servers.
Boycotts aren't going to be effective against companies that make basic commodities, because those companies don't interact directly with their consumers. Facebook deals directly with its users and advertising clients. I think consumer-facing companies are a lot more careful to maintain good PR and avoid boycotts in the first place.
So how do people use that? (I don't work with large databases like this)

Say, a user comes to a website from New York. Does this require me to have a webserver (probably google cloud-something) in New York that connects to this region MongoDB Atlas?

They're delegating creating the detailed regulations to the courts. When some court rules that something is acceptable, or unacceptable, you'll know what the "real" rule is.

Another approach some countries have taken is to have laws cite some set of government regulations, which some part of the government is supposed to update. That tends to be even messier as the courts still get involved, but at least you get faster updates.
One must really think very low of it's own life to enslave himself that way, that's all I'm saying. And when I see such posts or parents testimonies, they all seem fed up with their situation, and rightfully so. And it's not all because of society, and they do have a choice.

I wasn't really attempting to express an opinion on how valid or likely this claim is, just to clarify what I took to be GP's point.

But for fun, I'll try to address the question. I live in a conservative state and do some work with public health policy, working with local politicians and have friends in LEO and military. Here are the common arguments/viewpoints (I am not endorsing them):

- The biggest proportion of gun deaths are suicides, so focusing on random massacres or inner-city violence, which are tiny blips on the mortality radar, is not a productive or a good-faith basis for banning guns.

- There is a (somewhat justified IMO) fear of a slippery-slope approach to gun regulation. It is not controversial or speculative to say there is a large contingent on the left that would like to totally ban them if it were possible.

- Guns are very limited in the damage they can do. A bomb in a high-school assembly could do a lot more damage than the most well-prepared shooter, and with much less risk to the perpetrator. At best, guns are not the most dangerous thing to be focused on and at worst, banning them could push psychopaths into more dangerous alternatives.

LEOs and military folks lean conservative. That means they tend to generally distrust or even fear the very government they work for. LEOs in particular are well acquainted with the damage guns do on a daily basis but frequently do not see banning them as a solution because:

- It is impractical

- The people killing each other with them are for the most part poor or (by definition) criminals, so no one cares about them

- The original intention of the 2nd Amendment was to protect the people from the government that, again, they distrust and fear, so even if banning guns would save lives, which they would dispute, it is a worthwhile cost to pay to protect against tyranny.

- There is a viewpoint that gun control actually increases violent crime, and therefore deaths, because guns serve as a deterrent. I have been in an extremely long-running debate with a local politician about whether this is the case.

As a result of all these arguments, I think a serious effort to confiscate guns would make many, many people in conservative states, including LEOs and military, very highly irritated. Irritated enough to rebel? I have no idea.

Again, I am not endorsing most of this, but there is one argument that resonates with me from a public health perspective. Gun homicide is an extremely rare cause of death. I personally feel that it would be orders of magnitude more helpful if the left would channel its energy into increasing funding for your friendly neighborhood National Institutes of Health.
