At 45mph the car is traveling at 66 feet per second, so 1 second before impact means it was spotted at approx. distance of 66 feet. The volvo XC90 breaking distance at 62mph is 112 feet. Dividing by the square of the speeds gives us a 45mph stopping distance ~62 feet. So not only would it have saved her life, it could possibly have prevented the car even touching her. (The XC90 has excellent breaking, btw, better than a range rover sport or an audi Q9).

I think the trend may well go in the other direction, and become more like shipbuilding. Due to reusability, we can afford to make costlier rockets, as they're useful for many launches. This may for instance mean the use of relatively expensive composite materials, such as in the BFR, which prioritises fuel cost above unit cost. Also, the efficiency of rockets generally increases with size.
> Which means taking the effort to "friend" strangers across the world

Easy enough. More than half of the people that Facebook recommends to be as "friends" are people whose language I don't speak in countries to which I've never been.

Nice AI, Zuckerbean.
Absolutely not. Having two sets of sensors on the car is a good thing because it provides redundancy. If one set of sensors fails to detect say, a person in the middle of the road, the other one will step in and say "hey, brain, there's a person in the middle of the road".

If Uber intentionally disabled the second set of sensors, they were acting recklessly, and they're a danger to the development of the self-driving car industry. This one incident may have set us back years.
"Facebook Inc. faces a massive uphill task to win back the general public's trust, results from two separate opinion polls, reported on by Reuters, have shown.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Sunday, just 41 percent of Americans now trust Facebook to obey laws that protect their personal information. In contrast, of the 2,237 respondents to the poll, which ran from Wednesday through Friday, 66 percent, 62 percent and 60 percent, respectively, believe that Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc's Google and Microsoft Corp. will do a better job of respecting their privacy.

A separate survey released the same day by Germany's largest-selling Sunday paper, Bild am Sonntag, delivered a much more damaging assessment, revealing that 60 percent of Germans believe that Facebook and other social networks have a negative impact on democracy."

"For instance, the involuntary manslaughter charge is going to be hard to proof when the evidence that he was planning on going on the ride the same day is presented. "

I'm pretty sure you can get involuntary manslaughter for driving recklessly, crashing your car, and killing your passenger. Or failing to maintain your car properly, crashing it due to an avoidable failure, and killing your passenger.

If I'm correct and you can get inv. manslaughter when you're in the same vehicle as the victim, it shouldn't be too hard to prove when the person was only planning to be in the ride later.
No they weren't, I developed for them.
Watching the video, I'm convinced that person died for no good reason beyond Uber rushing tech out the door before it was ready. An alert human would have braked and swerved in that circumstance.

It's likely that the accident still would have been fatal, or at least the pedestrian would have been seriously injured if the safety driver was driving. Based on the video there was only a second or two to react from the time the pedestrian stepped out of the shadows, and human reaction time varies from 0.7 to 3 seconds [1]. One study found the average driver's reaction time is 2.3 seconds.

I found it very interesting for being one of the very few books that deals with code as a formal system.

You don't need to understand the code; you don't need to step through the code. You follow the steps for "extract method" and you go from a working state to another working state with no worries.

The individual refactorings are more-or-less interesting, but as others have said, they're somewhat commonplace now.

This is a big shame. If only Google had purchased Sun Microsystems all this wouldn't have happened.

Fair enough. I hate drm also.
It will keep most of our (North America's) towns shitty.

I don't understand why everyone wants to live in these horrible suburbs with grass you have to mow and a pool that every single person needs to build. I seriously have never once understood suburbs. I get living on 5+ acres, you got stuff you can build and do (tree houses, chicken coups, etc) but what is the point of putting yourself somewhere with nowhere you can walk and nowhere you can build?

Also, can we talk about grass for a second? Why? Just why do we do it at all? Trees, shrubs, and flowers are so much nicer and easier, why do we need to make bright green rectangles with most of our lawns?
I propose a compromise: fine Google billions of dollars, but it goes to the taxman, not Oracle

> Being at the forefront of science and technology is what helps to maintain our position as a/the global financial leader. This is what Republicans understand and care about and why science is funded.

Your post here specifically states that Republicans care about being #1 in the world financially, and you imply here it is not about helping their constituents live good lives or anything like that. The Republican apparatus here is specifically an attempt at a short-term money-making one, not one that improves lives or even makes money in the long run.

If you are right and Republicans are funding science because they want the US to be the global financial leader, that is massively fucked up and massively wrong. It will also backfire, because funding things for the reason of being a leader is like making a startup to try to become a billionaire. It will fail. You must work on the core things like basic science, quality of life, etc, to improve the country's stability and economics across the board.
most certainly. In the way you imagine and in ways we can't even imagine now. (Things may get better in some ways, but they will get worse in others)

The anti-vax crowd is pretty well split actually, political extremism seems to influence those belief more than left vs right[0]. But those on the right are more likely to resist vaccination efforts.

A quote from the article: "As to whether liberals or conservatives are now more likely to be opposed to vaccination, some researchers have suggested that, while anti-vaccination beliefs have spread to libertarians on the right, the anti-vaccination movement originates and finds its strongest support in the political left. A later article by the same researchers similarly argues that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) evidence shows that states that voted for Obama in 2012 have higher rates of nonmedical vaccination exemptions.

Yet, other research suggests that it is in fact conservatives who are more likely to believe that vaccines cause autism, that it is liberals who are more likely to endorse pro-vaccination statements and that the more strongly someone identifies with the Republican Party, the more likely he or she is to have a negative opinion of vaccination."

The feeding frenzy the corporate media indulges itself in, whenever an event like this occurs is regrettable.

It's a prisoners dilemma, since any corporate media outlet that does not ramp up to "National Enquirer" level hysteria, will be overshadowed by those who do. To solve such a prisoners dilemma would seem to require regulation, so that those who want to be good actors are not punished by losing viewership to bad actors.

Very few people can devote the significant time necessary to make free professional-grade stuff just for the sake of a wider audience.

And unless you're an artist who does that yourself, it's a bit much to ask others to meet your needs for free like that in the first place.

No, that doesn't have to mean actually writing the software. But it could mean paying someone else to do the coding, even if the software is ultimately released as OSS.

most industry software in this area is garbage. i've seen the tecan software in operation; those folks should be embarrassed.

i'm tempted to get one and see if we can't get it into production. the up front cost is only a bit more than an annual service contract for a tecan machine which doesn't do much more, and is less flexible.
From the driver's handbook:

> Most crosswalks are located at corners, but they can also be located in the middle of the block.

> Pedestrians have the right-of- way in marked or unmarked crosswalks.

> Crosswalks are often marked with white lines. Yellow crosswalk lines may be painted at school crossings. Most often, crosswalks in residential areas are not marked.

Interesting that the legal definition points out right angle intersections specifically. I wonder if that can be overridden by local rules.
But GDPR also means you have the right to revoke consent that was previously given.
>Late 90s he said the US's biggest enemy was China.

Well, biggest competitor. For enemy it should have also actually done something, and until now it's mostly been western nations doing things to China (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation).

Besides, who else would have he said at the late 90s? Russia was a faltering non-entity under Yeltsin, and China was emerging and a billion+ strong.
I don’t disagree with your premise, but the word safe doesn’t apply to even mapped roads.

“Safe” changes on a daily, even hourly, basis. An unrelated accident changes the Safety of a particular route. A rainstorm can surface oils from the road, making it unreasonably slick for a short period of time. A crew working on the sewers can change the routing of a road onto the shoulders, which will have different grip characteristics than the road itself.

Even Arizona can see snow.

The car could have also swerved and missed her entirely. IF it decided to take action. That is the point I'm trying to make.

Saying your product would have seen the pedestrian is very different from saying it would have seen her and known to immediately take action and the action it would have taken would have changed the outcome.
Remove and delete are distinct actions in shared file systems. “Remove” gets it out of your Google Drive. But if it’s a shared file, it’s not yours to delete, or if your company has a retention policy, you may not have the permission to delete it.

> If somebody wouldn't have sex with you of their own volition, but is coerced into doing so for need of food and shelter, then how can it be consensual?

By that argument, wage labor is slavery just as much as prostitution is rape.

So, yeah, if you're that kind of socialist, there's a coherent argument for that point. But if you aren't, you may have trouble justifying why economic coercion overrides consent in one case but not the other.

Myself, I'm somewhere in the social democratic (US-style “democratic socialist”, perhaps, but not what that label would apply to outside of the US) range, and I agree that there is in fact an element of economic coercion in many but not all cases of work-for-pay in a capitalist economy (including, but not uniquely so, prostitution) which makes consent unclear in the general case and clearly absent in some specific cases, but that the best corrective is alleviating the fundamentally coercive nature of the system by improving the social safety net, not trying to ban the kind of work people are more likely to do only if economically coerced (which just leaves people either coerced into some other kind of work or, stuck in the conditions that they sought to escape by accepting distasteful work under duress, or—often—still coerced into exactly the same undesirable work, but without effective legal recourse for additional abuses in the working relationship.)

I'm on the verge of deleting my Facebook account, but for the same reasons as given by OP i'm hesitant. Facebook is the only platform with i use to connect to some of my closest friends on the other side of the planet. Also staying up to date with events/parties. If there was an alternative for these, i would've ditched Facebook yesterday. I've wasted too many hours of my life scrolling through the feed, being subjected to all kinds of psychological manipulation. Not to mention that Facebook probably knows more about me subjectively than any other person. I'm done.

The need for an additional refactor phase in TDD
The 1% that's different being... what? Bugs? Like I said, any differences in Google's version of the API would, by definition, be interoperability problems that need to be corrected.

To make that more concrete: if Oracle's string concatenation function is called `String.concat` and Google's is called `String.append`, then code which calls `String.concat` isn't going to work with Google's implementation, and code which calls `String.append` isn't going to work with Oracle's implementation. It doesn't matter if the APIs are "similar" or not, they have to be _identical_ in order for code written for one system to be interoperable with the other.
At first glance of the title I thought it was a clever name for a Windows vulnerability.

That would make sense if the abuse was between individual actors. Domestic violence victims can, in theory, defend themselves with weapons and legal means. This is (to really stretch the analogy) more "how to hide from drones" for targets of a giant, state-tolerated PMC.

I was referring to the mirror diameter. Of course, the area is even much larger. And infrared telescopes on high elevations are certainly better than telescopes on low ground, still the atmosphere is a big barieer. For that reason the SOFIA telescope was built into a 747, as the airplane gets up to almost 15 kilometers and thus the observation conditions in the infrared range are much better than any ground based observatory. Obviously, an airplane isn't the best platform to mount a telescope.

The Webb telescope should be able to provide a way better view into the infrared range than any telescope available so far.

Yeah, I guess I understand that, it just seems like most things that aren't a design failure are unlikely to affect more than one orbiting telescope.

In other words, to return to your example, it seems unlikely to me that a collision would happen to more than on telescope ever, let alone in a time window too tight for a third (or fourth, etc) telescope to be built and launched.

No one is going to clean/inspect cars after every ride. At best it will be once a day. More likely something like once a week or until someone complains.

Same thing with the car age. They aren't going to cycle new cars in every few years. At best, they are going to replace the interiors in that time frame.

It also doesn't account for the size of the car. People buy 4 seaters for the 10% (or whartever) of the time that they have passengers. Commuters will be perfectly fine with a 1 seater if they can order a bigger car when needed.
FTA:

> President Obama's 2011 budget request for NASA cut the agency's Constellation program completely, effectively canceling a five-year, $9 billion effort to build new Orion spacecraft and Ares rockets.

It's always sort of a misnomer that the President sets the budget... they really only get to approve/reject what congress lays out (but take all the credit/blame). Of course a president can wish for certain things, and veto a proposed budget that doesn't meet their political goals, but ultimately it's congress that sets the budget.

If I recall, it was the 2016/2017 budget proposal under Speaker Paul Ryan that sought dramatic increases in the NASA budget.

This was the result of a lot of research over some weeks. A lot of people have asked me whether I think this was being used in the wild.
