As many of the comments (but none of the top-level answers) in that Stack Exchange thread note, most of the code in critical control systems like ECUs isn't written, it's generated from verifiable models. While this doesn't lend complete confidence by any means, I think it can be expected that the defects/SLOC will be much lower and of a very different variety in this type of code than code that's written.

> In an interview with Howard Stern in the mid-’90s, the radio host asked him about a character in the comic book anthology the cartoonist was then promoting. Stern called Sody Pop “a hot chick with big cans and nice legs.” Kricfalusi responded with a smile: “She’s underage, too.”

You can try to separate the art from the artist, but I feel like you've gotta get real deep into death of the author before that quote becomes something you can ignore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck may be a starting point for surveying the current hypotheses about the human population bottlenecks that have occurred in the past. You're also expressing a fundamental misunderstanding of evolutionary selection mechanisms, resulting in incoherent conclusions. (most egregious example: "Hard conditions permitted for only the most fit to survive so there was no need for extreme medical intervention." The "most fit" for a selection lie at a tail end of a distribution. There is "no need for extreme medical intervention" only when ignoring the concerns of more representative samples of the distribution.)
You can A/B test pricing, Amazon does it all the time. You can have a pricing page that says "If this seems off to you, let us know and we'll talk" like Papertrail does. There are plenty of options, but if you're worried about customers walking away, you're losing tons of them by making them call you first.

Okay, maybe C isn't free at the time, but you can get it for anywhere between $50-100 1985 dollars--that qualifies as fairly cheap--especially for the kinds of technically competent individuals who would buy such a thing.

So, what "better" language could you get for that price at that time?
What if the page tries to position another element over the link? If you just say that the safe-link has the highest z-index, then you'll have plenty of awkward cases where it shows through stuff like sticky navbars/headings or dropdowns that happen to be opened over them. And what would the browsers do to show those links specially? Could a webpage do the same around their own links?
Comparing the USA as a whole to Ireland or Norway is ludicrous. Compare it to the EU, China, India, Indonesia, Brazil. If you want to compare Ireland to the US you should be looking at individual states. If you insist on comparing to individual countries at least look at ones that are at least a tenth of the population of the US, like France, Gernany, the U.K., Russia, Turkey, Italy, Ukraine.

Ireland’s gdp per capita overstates its wealth substantially as large parts of the economy by value is subsidiaries of US companies which repatriate profits back to the US. For economies like Ireland and Luxembourg better to use gross national product than gross domestic product.

Better again to use average individual consumption but statistics on that have only just begun to be gathered. Average household consumption makes the US look pretty great. The only country higher is the UAE and the top 5 is rounded out by Hong Kong, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Petrostates, city states and the US.
I'd say it's the same in other religions (from my personal anecdata with catholicism).

But I think that, in such context, the acceptance of fundamental truths are necessary to have a debate, like mathematical axioms are necessary for proofs. In addition to that the fundamental truths are about one's Faith, so I don't think there's a lot to debate on, either you belive or you don't.
If that's the question they want me to answer, then that's the question they should ask. "Why should I hire you" is a power play, reframing the interview as a test I should be trying to pass in order to meet their approval, instead of a mutual exploration of potential compatibility. I sure hope my attitude about that kind of power imbalance disqualifies me, because egalitarianism is one of my fundamental values, and I don't want to work with people who would see it as a problem.

>What do you think a plane pilot does when autopilot is on?

In a commercial jet - Goes to the toilet? Eats lunch? Chats to the co-pilot?

Sure none of those might be right but I'd warrant that a lot of people would answer with things that move the pilots concentration away from piloting, "because the auto-pilot is doing the flying". Honestly I'd assume they do any of these answers; but with the proviso that the co-pilot stays in the cockpit when the pilot leaves.
This article (and most comments here) assumes that all African countries are the same.

Hans Rosling of gapminder made it clear how different they are. South Africa is very dependent on tourism.

And it's not just SA National Parks. The municipality of Tshwane/Pretoria has reintroduced giraffe and other herbivores into some of its reserves. And now it collects more revenue from ticket sales and property tax.
Please add [video] to the title. I can't spot a transcript, and I'm not really in a mood for watching a video right now.

On the topic of the second amendment, as I understand it we ended up with this exact text after much discussion. If I recall correctly, a specific comma was added close to when it was being finalized in order to help clarify the use-cases which the founding fathers were targeting.

I eat very little sugary stuff. Plenty of booze on the weekends, which I'd originally suspected as the cause of the mood problems. Cutting the alcohol didn't change things significantly, though, while cutting the caffeine gave me two weeks of feeling awful (and I mean seriously bad), followed by a significant improvement in both mood and energy.

(Would have posted this last night but I hit the rate limiter, heh.)
That one-liner I posted works with both constant and non-constant expressions (and in fact is more likely to be evaluated at compile-time than the macro), is type-safe, and has no side effects assuming both arguments are arithmetic types or pointers (like all uses of `max` in the Linux kernel / C-language programs).

FAR is fascinating. It may look like a Norton Commander, but it's fully integrated in Windows and the extension system goes beyond most Norton Commander clones. It may be a small thing since the API in windows is fairly simple, but what got me is the fact that you double click an item and you get a copy of windows explorers right click + FAR extensions.

But yes, I agree I've asked myself the same question.

No, unless I've mistaken the phrase, they're not the same. I'm thinking of the problem when competing criteria can't be satisfactorily combined as inputs to a function with a scalar output. This comes up in ethical paradoxes, for example.
It’s not cryptic. Read the damn preamble, the part about “prevent abuse and misconstruction of powers”. The 2A was written in BECAUSE we have a standing army, since “a standing army is dangerous to liberty”.

It’s only cryptic to liberals who want to abolish it. I’m so tired of the BS; just friggin move to the pansy-assed EU, or some 3rd world thugocracy, where only the government has guns. I’ll take freedom and insecurity.
I understand that ... and that's another problem we've yet to solve. What you've described is what led to the crash of the Korean Airliner that undershot the runway at SFO a few years ago. In that case, they would have been better off letting the plane land itself but that's not SOP.

This is not a technological solution. It's an attempt to create a legal convention of applying a particular form of centralized blacklisting.

The power of this method is directly proportional to how widely it's adopted.

And the reference to a precedent gives a false sense of legal legitimacy to this form of blacklisting. The decision referenced dealt with creditor claims to a shared asset.

The relevant legal precedent is from 1749. That's when a court sided with the Royal Bank of Scotland in its legal challenge to a request for a blacklist for notes used in crime. The RBS argument was that making money responsible for the acts of its previous holders would "render the Notes absolutely useless":

For hundreds of years, that has been the legal treatment of cash, which has facilitated commerce, by making cash fungible.

Jurisdictions around the world have been steadily degrading the principle of fungibility over the last 40 years to institute a mass surveillance system to stop the drug trade, money laundering and income tax evasion (it's worth noting the income tax didn't exist in 1749).

The result is concentrated power structures accumulating ever greater bureaucratic control over the traditional financial system.

I think the worry is that it might cost more energy to process the CO2 than it actually produces. In which case the energy would be more of a byproduct of removing the CO2 from the atmosphere, I guess?
I totally agree with what you said. We need more personalized education systems. But this article is a red herring. If you actually read the data and figures from the article, the conclusions have been twisted to create clickbait. In particular, the article talks about persistent INSTABILITY of sleeping schedules. "We quantified SJL as the difference between the average phase of activity on class days and non-class days." This has nothing to do with the disadvantage of night owls to non-night owls, but rather talks about the disadvantage of folks who oscillate their sleeping schedule from day to day. It doesn't matter if you're a night owl or not, that's going to kill anyone's productivity. The audience read what they wanted to read, and interpreted this as "night owls vs. early birds".

Authoritarians find many aspects of the Bill of Rights difficult to understand. Look what they've done to the Fourth already: they've "oh gosh this is cryptic"'ed it into a dead letter. It's no surprise they're determined to misinterpret the Second as well. News flash: these reinterpretations go mostly in one direction, more power for the authority, less freedom for the subject.

I’m not justifying the use in this article, but it does mean something. In particular “aerospace” aluminum is a particular range of alloys around 92% pure AL content. It’s use in aerospace applications is based on its thermal stability, strength, lightness and resistance to wear and cracking.

I still don't get it.

If it can't tell that the cmp_once is a constant expression why can it tell that cmp is a constant expression?

EDIT: I think I get it. In the event that the arguments are constant, something about the typeof business prevents it from being constant, so that's no good if required in a context where a constant is required. But, when not required to be a constant expression, you want to enforce single-evaluation of the arguments, so then cmp_once is used.
because it implies something regardless of the products ability to actually deliver. the connotations were so strong I found it bizarre they went with it and didn't just hold it until the product matured. however it really comes down to the simple fact it has not costed them enough money in penalties and lawsuits to force a name change. they are in essence bluffing their way through this and have yet to get called on it.

Metcalfe lives here in Austin and is involved in the local startup community in a variety of ways.

One time I asked him how he came up with the law and he said something close to: "It's simple! I was selling network cards! If I could convince them it was more valuable to buy more, they'd buy more!"

As an EE who studied networks, etc in college, it was jarring but audacious and impressive.

He was either BSing all of us ~40 years ago or in that conversation a few years ago.. but either way, he helped make our industry happen.
But if the resulting model doesn't contain information about individuals, how does this help targeting individuals for the campaign?

Edit: is it that the model is then applied to only strictly public data about the person? If so I guess the interesting question then becomes whether the model is definitely not anything near overfitting (i.e. containing enough information to match a person's public data directly since it was trained on it (amongst other data))? (I'm not an ML developer.)

Edit 2: also, going with your comparison with the "20 most representative pixels", it seems interesting then that 'this much' (although not exactly sure how much) information can be inferred from a public profile when just also knowing enough about the whole Facebook population. OK, so perhaps a human would be able to infer about as much, but doesn't scale, and that's why the model becomes valuable?

Perhaps you should call the FTC and let them know their interpretation of the law is wrong.
Just a transaction record from one account to another of $2M isn't proof that ownership of that property was transferred.

You need to connect that transaction to a contract and the contract in turn needs to be verified by some third-party and some process. In a develop country, that process is going to be tied to government.
The US was able (and had) a passenger train network. It didn’t stay updated because cargo is a much more profitable business with professional customers. There is not one aspect of passenger travel that is a bonus over cargo for rail companies. As others have pointed out, you get to optimize the rails for either cargo or passengers.

That version does this. From cppreference (emphasis mine):

Most of those crashes probably on the ground though?

Enigma security didn't rely on security through obscurity. Having the machine didn't enable the allies to decrypt the messages. It relied on the secret of the... secret keys and the monthly key books.

It's also quite interesting to see that the Polish cryptanalists were able to reproduce the enigma machine used by the german army without even having seen one. They were able to deduce the number of rotors, the wiring, etc.

What in the end doomed the Enigma was the fact it was more a kitchen recipe than cryptography based on solid principles. It was a smart recipe for the time, but it had flaws (like the fact a letter could not be the same letter once encrypted). In some regards, most of our symetric encryption algorithms today feel a bit that way (with a lot more external scrutiny from experts however).

Even in WWII, I don't think that security through obscurity was considered as an absolute barrier. It's more in line with a "defense in depth" pattern. It gives a little more work to your adversary as he now has to figure out how your encryption works before breaking it, but it's not expected to last for long.
Even when I'm very deliberately making sure there are no distractions (no lights on, no electronics, fan for white noise) and/or I'm exhausted (been awake for >2 days), I find it _very_ difficult to sleep before 3am, and that time will gradually slip back to the point where it's often easier to skip a night's sleep to "resync" my sleep schedule. Probably not the case for every one, but it's difficult to not see that as some innate difference, especially as it has persisted for years across multiple environments.
"Humans are not going to die out" is very short-sighted. Sure, in the past half-century we've gone from room-sized computers to self-driving cars, and we've seen similar progressions in medicine and other fields. So it might seem reasonable to think that we'd solve all of the big problems well before an extinction event.

But everything that we know is a tiny blip on the timeline, and "the data" is practically meaningless. If humans died out soon, our existence would still be so fleeting that the universe would hardly know we were ever here.
Yeah, those are legitimate problems, I agree.

I guess I was thinking, browser vendors and clients that care are already taking measures to inform users if the URL they are browsing is safe / secure (HTTPS enabled UI for example) - I was just trying to think of some way for the HTML source itself to indicate "hey, the value of the href of this link should be exactly 'X', and a user can see that relatively easily, and if for any reason it is NOT 'X' then the link should not be trusted". I mean, the clients could also take active measures to block such links as well... if the "href" is not the same as the expected value for the href (or if it changes), then the client disables the link automatically.

I don't think one would use the "safe-links" I described everywhere (like, not in places where they would bleed through). I think they might be a special use case, maybe for emails and clients that are rendering more document oriented HTML as opposed to web-site/web application type HTML, although browsers could certainly render them.

Of course, those clients would have to be trustworthy too.

I suppose rather than showing any visual cues that the link is enabled, clients could just validate that...
if they see a link like this (without text or an ending anchor tag) ->
<a href="http://www.google.com">
then the one and ONLY action the link can take is to navigate to the precise href specified, and it would only render the text of the href as the content of the anchor tag.

So maybe a visual cue is not even needed - just enforcement by trustworthy clients.
Unless the data is completely random it's not crazy to say that the data can be reconstructed from a reduced version.

If you have a million points that largely fall on a 3-dimensional line and you project that into 2 dimensions, you can easily recover that lost dimension with losses relative to the deviation. And that loss may not even matter depending on the kinds of data and margins of error you're working in.
I thought of that too, but I didn’t know a quote I could use.
So they have a hard time getting to sleep on time - but it is because of behavior patterns. If it were due to maladaptive body clock regulation there would be evidence of poor adaptation when traveling to different time zones. If it were due to melatonin dysfunction there would be some wild swings in affected populations between summer and winter periods. Instead this is fully explained by routines. Just ask the college swim team who have to get up at 4/5am to train before class, how do they get up so early? They get to bed early.
Why do you think that humans are not just even more accurate versions of the same types of classifiers?
