Not sure why this point isn't being more widely discussed, especially as it is a known problem[0] of almost all 'auto-pilot' systems based on radar.

To me it would seem to be self-driving 101, namely - don't hit a stationary object.

If the challenge is so great that current technology can't overcome the difficulties of detecting stationary objects in the path of the car (not just those stationary objects to ignore like overhead gantries) then it's time to change the language around 'autonomous' driving to ensure drivers understand the limitations. Obviously this isn't happening well enough right now as people are dying because of it.

From a personal perspective, until Lidar becomes commonplace I think I would eschew the 'autonomous' modes offered in the current generation cars.

Windows 8 may have been a response to iOS popularity, but don't forget that Microsoft had been pushing tablets for a long time by then. They had a huge head start over Apple. If you want to include Windows for Pen Computing, then it was an 18 year lead that they lost overnight.
I think we have a bigger problem with stimulant abuse in general. The perception of caffeine and nicotine (and god forbid the various amphetamines) as "safe" is incredibly deceptive. I have seen the differences in myself in terms of productivity, sleep quality, etc. which cannot be fully-quantified on some medical study or quarterly performance reviews. We have an entire generation of young people entering the workforce who cannot go 30 minutes without taking a vape break outside. Sure, this doesn't directly impact the individual's health or immediate perceptions of work effort, but over time the impact is gradually discovered. The individual cannot sit still in a chair and focus on a complex/deep-dive topic long enough to reach an actionable conclusion. The other extreme is the individual is hyper-focused on one task (usually the amphetamine users) to the extent that they begin to ignore all sense of context and lose focus on the bigger picture. For most employment, this is usually not a concern, but for those who have to dive incredibly deep into complexity on a daily basis (engineers, programmers, architects, etc.), I feel it can be the difference between getting something done in 4 hours and getting it done in 4 weeks. This perception is also something incredibly hard to quantify, but I have witnessed several anecdotal examples (some in myself) which I am confident can be attributed to excessive use of stimulants.

Yep, Virgin Media did this in the UK and messed it up badly. Every day at 6pm YouTube would stop working until the following morning.

It appeared to work by inspecting DNS packets and replying with overrides if necessary. I didn’t like it but I could understand that.

What I did not agree with was the fact that this also happened for other DNS services. Google DNS and OpenDNS both experienced the same issue, as did a few other “famous” DNS providers. Random little ones wouldn’t return the caching servers, and also enabling encrypted DNS for Google/OpenDNS would stop it happening too. I’m fairly sure it was some badly thought out deep packet inspection.

Also, Ds have tried to work directly with Trump to secure a solution for DACA and areas of agreement have been blown up every time by the Stephen Miller/John Kelly faction of the administration. The reality is that there will never be a DACA "compromise" or solution, other than complete dissolution and further ramping up of deportations, while Miller & Co. are in the WH.
You have to almost admire the design of such a contract. The history behind how this spread throughout the local news industry has to be super interesting.

Show HN: I wrote a python library for converting Org files into Anki notes
I have written a small Python program that allows you to write notes using an org file and then upload them to Anki. Essentially you can write bullet points questions and answers with answers indented.

Here is the link: https://github.com/c-okelly/org_to_anki

I have always liked org mode as I found it is easy way to quickly create notes on new information that I am reading or working with minimal disruption.

It work by writing notes as follows.

* What is the capital of Ireland?
Dublin

This is then converted into a Basic note. It also currently supports reverse notes.

I hope you might find this some use to you. Any feedback is welcome. I have a few ideas for new features to add in the future but don't quite have any use cases for them yet!

The next question would be on which distributions and which versions of which distributions?

It's funny because even if you put yourself in the mind of 2009, you can imagine a much more modest store feature doing good things for end users.

The old Windows desktop might have had a half dozen things prompting you to elevate and update. Flash player, Adobe reader, Java runtime, all these things wanted your undivided attention to update, not to mention were polling the network and using resources to do that. So maybe you could see a single piece of infrastructure allowing those third parties to hook in less intrusively.

But that's not what they asked for. They would prefer you trash your app and write for the thing they came up with this year, to be thrown away when they do the rewrite the next year.

You can enable grab break actions with "setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions" and then use Ctrl+Alt+KP/ to break grabs and Ctrl+Alt+KP* to kill the applications with grabs (note that setxkbmap -option blah adds the blah option to the existing options, which might interfere with this - you can try and reset all options by typing just "setxkbmap -option" without a parameter and then typing "setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions").

This is useful both when debugging and when dealing with broken applications.

> What you said has nothing to do with whether we should be a doormat for China's unfair trade practices. If you're really concerned about the wellbeing of the poor I don't understand how, in this context, you could be more upset at American corporations than you are at Chinese corporations.

I thought the point you were making was that it is not possible to have enough resources ("pie") to benefit all Americans (rich and poor) unless the "unfair trade practices of China" were somehow reigned in. So it absolutely has everything to do with trade. If there is already more than enough wealth (which I argue there is) and the problem is one of unequal distribution of it, then trying to tweak trade seems like an suboptimal strategy.

> I suspect you and I feel similarly about Trump. I don't have particularly strong feelings of support for these tariffs, but it's been clear to me since the 80s that we needed to fight back in the trade war China has been fighting against us since then. There aren't a lot of levers to pull here, there's tariffs, sanctions... I dunno what else. The biggest problem with these tariffs is the fact that it's unilateral. Stuff is fungible so it's stupid unless we can get the rest of the world to participate and push China to behave.

China has made the jump from developing to developed in a shockingly short period of time. In the process, they have managed to mostly solve the problem of providing food to millions of Chinese and also providing a path to middle class for the same folks. I don't agree with authoritarianism and Chinese trade policies either; but to characterize that as a trade war is being much too hyperbolic. They are and always have been protectionist; every developing economy is. The reason previous US administrations didn't impose tariffs weren't because they weren't brave enough or never thought of them, its because the worldview was that once China made the transition to developed country, it would gradually loosen the protectionism as well.

And I don't think any country will join with the US on anything significant with this caustic and highly incompetent POTUS ripping up longtime diplomatic goodwill with allies and heaping praise on authoritarian rivals...
> Also, does HIPAA say anything about technology companies outside of the medical field's data that may voluntarily collect HIV status?

No, HIPAA binds only covered entities, which are (basically) care providers, insurers, and certain other parties in certain business relationships with care providers and insurers.

If you give out your health information to a dating service, it's not protected by HIPAA.
I really hope they will succeed but I also wished that they would have at least one product aimed at the desktop. It's understandable that they focus on the datacenter when you look at who is behind the project but one of the things that I love about Linux is that I have a degree of continuity between my desktop environment where I develop software and the servers where it all gets deployed.

* Noting I'm arguing someone else's position. *

>Well, the problem with that narrative is that most of the center-left is quite happy to find a comprimise. It seems like arms dealers are too, actually. It's mostly the NRA unable to disengage its PR machine from collapsing the entire narrative to "you'll take our guns" vs "total gun freedom".

You too are collapsing the narrative to "NRA is evil." The power that the NRA has is that it can mobilize countless voters who support what the NRA does. Pretending that the NRA is a rogue organization that doesn't represent a huge segment of the population is disingenuous.

>A centrist or even a libertarian should have no problem picking their poison in the marketplace of ideas, unless they're genuinely bought into these increasingly absurd conspiracy theories that put 9/11-truther levels of weird to shame.

Tell me again how Trump is a fascist and neo-Nazis are taking over the country. And further that Trump who bombed the shit out of a major Russian ally (Syria) is under the thumb of Russia because of pee-pee tape in the same breath that you make fun of Trump for being a germaphobe (part of why he eats so much fast food).

The keyword here is "net". What you are asking for is free capital flow, mostly in the form of financial market capital. That is not what is discussed here about JV, technology transfer and whatnot. FDI inflow into China can be easily sterilized.

And there is no guarantee with free capital flow you will get net inflow into China. If anything there was an even larger outflow before China tightened up the control. And even if you managed a net inflow into China, there is no guarantee it will reduce the bilateral trade imbalance with US per se, so long as the demand for US assets is not reduced.

Of course if you meant that US could impose capital control to make trade deficit go away, I would agree.
Or maybe its the price difference?

Having said that, I presume that you're doing it because you work in a certain role, and because it's advantageous to your career. I.e. you're getting paid by someone, and it's assumed that you'll review as part of your job.

> with seven they had a really great, solid desktop OS. The problem was actively undermining all that with Metro and RT.

I sometimes wonder if maybe they should have done a hard fork between 7 and 8 and continue to develop 7 for commercial users and 8 would be the consumer version.

In the commercial branch, they could undo some of the moves they made years ago (like putting GDI in the kernel rather than user space) to eventually get a more stable, secure OS.
