Your problem is not equivalent with what we were discussing about, you need to change it a bit like

I draw random numbers from 0 to Max and I get 345, what is P that next number N is in 100 range near 345?

P = 200/Max; in the assumption that Max >445;

For self driving cars, the probability that a car kills a person for 1 km or road driven is unknown, so you can call it X

Then my self driving car killed a person in first 10 km,
What is the probability that a random event will happen in the first 10km from 10^9 km, is 10^(-8)

Say the self driving car would have the probability of killing N people for 10^9 km, this are random,independent events
So the probability that a kill will happen in first 10km is
N*10^-8,

I hope you notice my point that we can measure something, we do not need to wait for 10 or 100 people to be killed

We are not sure but we can say that is is a very small chance that I will not kill other person in my next 999 990km.

let me know if my logic is not correct, in statistics is easy to do mistakes.
I'm not yet sure if "server-side Rust" is actually viable. Some of the language concepts are too complicated, and the obvious benefits (no need for GC and better control for concurrency) don't seem to apply to many server-side things.

Server-side Swift doesn't suffer from these problems, IMHO, but admittedly its Linux support is still a bit questionable, whereas Rust's Linux support is obviously superb. Swift on Linux probably works the best if you're able to use the officially supported LTS distribution, which currently is Ubuntu 16.04.
The Mirai isn't using a hydrogen engine, it's using fuel cells. There are also internal combustion engines that burn liquid hydrogen. Somewhat more practically it's fairly straightforward to convert existing gasoline engines to run off propane or compressed natural gas, you can get cars like this today but the refueling situation is of course not great.
Exactly. OJ Simpson was found not guilty criminally and still ordered to pay a large civil settlement. I don't think that creates a notion that murder is OK.
Companies spent billions on adjusting to regulations while trying to improve performance. Perhaps we'd be all electric by now, or perhaps we would have cars that fly, considering the money spent on efficiency and pollution control instead. Do read Bastiat's "What is seen and what is not seen" essay on squandered potential.
I'm trying to do this as well and I think for me a "soft retirement" should be achievable when I reach 40 years of age (currently I am 36).

I'm from the Netherlands but have a Thai girlfriend and since 1 year a daughter as well. The house we're building is almost finished. It's not too expensive, around 38.000 EUR and it should suit the 3 of us well. I paid for it, but the house is 100% my girlfriend's property. If we'd split up it would be a slight set back for my plans, but manageable. This year we will also buy a car, will will be fully my property.

For a soft-retirement I expect to need at least 150.000 EUR into index-funds. That should hopefully average out in around 10.000 EUR a year - enough to live on in Thailand especially with a paid-off house and car. As long as no big accidents happen. In the long run I do aim to have quite a bit more money of course.

My next goal is to save at least 40.000 EUR a year for the next 3 years. I will probably need to make 55.000 EUR a year for this to become possible (spend 15.000 EUR on costs of living and save the rest). I think with remote work this should be achievable.

For now I still have a house in The Netherlands that should give me a 30.000 EUR profit after the house is being sold and the mortgage is paid off.

If I really need some money quickly and I'm having difficulty finding remote work, I can always go back to The Netherlands and freelance for a couple of months. Freelancing should earn me at least 10.000 EUR a month and I can probably avoid taxes using my offshore company as long as I don't spend more than 180 days a year in The Netherlands.

After reaching 150.000 EUR I will then probably still work for clients occasionally, but will take it slower and focus more on my own hobby projects. Perhaps after reaching 300.000 I can really "retire" (spend time with family, work on hobby projects, enjoy life to the fullest) :)
It's confusing.

Now I see there's just a windows logo, but no actual windows pre-picked.

Why not put something else than a windows logo in there, when it's not filled?
Trump is objectively a terrible person and an even worse politician.

That's quite the objective statement statement you have there.

How would you do that? Please give an example that doesn't entail making up numbers from subjective whole cloth.

It would be relatively simple, though it would involve some data collection. Count the number of positive and negative stories published at various time frames, and come out with a ratio. Then figure out the correlation between that ratio and approval/disapproval ratings at that time. Then you'd multiply Obama's disapproval number by the delta between his positive/negative ratio and Trump's (and probably include some multiplier that would be less than 1 based on how strong the correlation turns out to be) to show what Obama's disapproval numbers would be if he had suffered the same media bias as Trump.

That's off the top of my head, but the process would be fairly close to that. Nobody in the liberal media will do it, but the whole point is that comparing Obama's disapproval numbers to Trump's is not an apples-to-apples comparison because of the extraordinary bias of the media against Trump.

I assume it's a bigger problem for females, because of the different way society perceives female or male sexuality.

E.g. I don't think i would really care about pics of my dick being made public, but plenty of women get routinely harrassed (often to the point of sexual assault or suicide) because of sexy selfies some idiot shared with friends.
There are many, including those inside Facebook, that are actively asking for more federal regulations.

I don't do regulation discussions. Brings out too much stupid.

But I will say that this is a survival ploy. If you get regulated, you are now approved by the government. You're good to go, able to operate freely in society. You just have to abide by whatever the regulations are.

Facebook may have a business model that just doesn't work in a society that values privacy, anonymity, and small diverse groups of people with widely-varying mores. This seems to be the lesson Facebook itself is learning now about, well, Facebook. What do we do then? It's not like anybody at Facebook is going to bring that up. They've got a ton of money. What do we do if the existence of Facebook itself is unacceptable?
Performance-wise server-side Swift is miles ahead of Node and Django. Apart from that, the tooling is indeed terrible...
It wisely is building on existing protocols.

It's a shame the gdpr won't apply to nation states.
Usually it's just bash, as long as I don't need any nifty data structures. But keeping track of data in bash is a pita , so that's where Lua comes in for me.

I like Lua for how thin and simple it is, with virtually no dependencies on anything. The good thing is that it runs anywhere where I have a C compiler, the bad thing is that it comes with no batteries included - there's not even a native function for creating a directory.

I use Lua a lot in my professional work as embedded software engineer, where the main business logic of the apps are written in Lua, with some thin C layers underneath for integration with various libraries and the OS.

Still, there are a lot of downsides to Lua, mostly the weak typing that bites me a lot. I'm slowly moving away from Lua to Nim these days, you should check that out if you haven't yet.
It looks like an internal site, this is the link it is referring to: https://tfhub.dev/google/universal-sentence-encoder/1
I was more thinking a FSO link ~2km into the middle of nowhere vs having one of those sitting in someone's house. But directional wifi is probably safer as it's also not going to look strange to a spectrum analyzer.

However, if you want to catch individual usage in urban areas, with guys on for that's going to easily be into the 10's of of billions as users don't need to keep them on 24/7. AKA within the capability of nation states, but not without significant effort.

You may find it additionally ironic that about a month before the Boz memo, it was reported[1] that Zuck bought 4 houses located around his own for $30 million.

Right, with that small sum of money you get a better return on your time by working for money. If they can really live with that little spending why get a job and save $100K per year and significantly add to the invested money? Of course I suggest that for "just a year or two" but when do you really stop?
Going Cashless: My Journey into the Future
This has been my method for a while, but the last 2 PC's I've build have had fan/power connectors in places that I simply can't get my hand too once the board is installed, leading to me either pulling out case fans, or even CPU coolers, just to connect a 4 pin CPU power lead.

Double check your hand will fit in the thing first!
How? That domain's rules are set by a contract among states. It can be changed, and relevant changes to it are currently being negotiated, headed by by Michel Barnier and David Davis. Do you mean that they should change their working order, or do you mean someone else should negotiate some separate/overlapping changes?
I have pretty much the same opinion about US-like toilets: I don't get them. There's only one public US-like toilet that I know of in the entire European city where I'm currently living (inside of a KFC restaurant) and it's always strange when you use it. I actively prefer the toilet from the McDonald's restaurant that is just 50 meters away. If it matters my post about the public toilets from my city was chosen as one of the 2 posts of the year on my country-specific sub-reddit, I even had my best friend message me with a link to it telling me about how his co-workers were talking about how they had found "the local George Constanza" on that sub-reddit, so suffice is to say that I know a thing or two about public toilets :)
Plex took an existing project available for use under license and modified it into a proprietary branch. If you have ever studied the history of Unix you will realize that this is extremely common. If you take an existing invention and improve it, its a new invention.

So I’m not the only one that thinks European toilets seem purpose built to punch you in the face with odor?
One thing people forget is the mental overload of making $150-200k a year but spending 20-25% of that. Yes, initially if you've never saved or had money before it feels good to sock away $4k+ out of each paycheck. But eventually when you look at your bank account and see tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars you start wonder why you can't just go have that $100 dessert you saw on YouTube.

Living like a pauper for ten years while having to get multiple bank accounts to handle FDIC coverage is harder than it sounds.

In a way, Segways are really common nowadays – since the chinese "hoverboards" (which are basically just slight modifications of the segway concept) made them affordable, I’m seeing them everywhere
I don't disagree. I didn't downvote it. What I object to is your simplistic characterisation of those who might have downvoted it.

You may wish to consider trying out python for this. In my experience it is likely a better match for this job. It includes simple libraries for:
- Web hooks
- Plotting
- logging
- text parsing
- unit tests
And it can be run as a simple script.

I understand the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality. However if you are finding any friction using C++ you might want to consider a different technology.
What's more it's a bit sad that only a small part of the content can't be served by those small peers making them useful instead of harmful to the network...
If there's one thing I realized as a technical person/programmer: it's that other people do not think like this at all. Barely anyone give a crap about source-code, it could be written in an amalgamation of COBOL, ActionScript, windows .bat files and C#/.NET to glue everything together. As long as it does what it does without causing major trouble, it's fine for them.

I guess you could add a link to a FAQ with answers to questions you might be interested in for those who do care.. and they do have that, so it's no problem whatsoever.
The last rumor I saw was that Microsoft shelved Hololens v2 to spend more time working on v3 because no one (e.g. Magic Leap) was even close to releasing a competing product.

Still want to work in China?
I'm aware of how the term is used, but your comments seem more like a tangent than an answer.

My question was whether there is any connection between being a white boy and Googling the search term "white boys".

It was prompted by the parent post suggesting that not seeing a connection between being a black girl and Googling "black girls" might be kind of a blind spot.

I think the implication was pretty clear that if you don't imagine someone Googling the search term "black girls", it's because they occupy the position of the "other" in your mind. However, I gave a reason to doubt it - contemplate whether and how often white boys Google "white boys".

I note that somehow, I already knew the connotations of the term "white boy" that you mentioned without Googling it. So you are not bringing anything to the point I was making.

I am not a laissez faire fanatic about much of anything, including Google search results - I just think that when people criticize such results, the search terms (and the subsequent reasoning) often seem contrived.
In economics, everything is on the margin. In engineering, constraints tend to define tradeoffs.

If we look at the population, then for everyone that needs/wants a car of size X, age Y, and cost Z, then fuel efficiency regulations that increase the engineered complexity of the vehicle will push up the cost and mean the consumer has to trade off with a smaller car, older car, or some other aspect.

Discretizing the population into poor people that can't afford a truck and rich people that can is meaningless when there is an entire distribution of people's incomes and spending preferences.
Ok, but you're not really spilling the beans here. You could be living at your parent's place in Western Europe. Or perhaps you're living in rural India. That's what I'm wondering about.

But if you'd rather not explain, I understand.

Probably because "how do I detect simulator" is one of the most asked questions about swift. So Apple uses the leverage they have over the language.

I hope though that the way the targetEnvironment condition is implemented is that the 'simulator' exists only in the iOS library.

Other people commenting on this are spot on. This is standard operating procedure for new hardware with the sort of attention that Magic Leap has.

The Tor network does some network metric on each Tor relay and give them a weight to each node based on their performance.

It's not flawless but implementing something similar in WebTorrent might be possible and mitigate this form of attacks.

Kodi wasn't able to run Kodi18 on the Xbox One unless they rebranded. Furthermore, while they technically have more control over their trademark now, they dabble in the business of piracy so good luck with enforcing that on the limited budget they have. Frankly, I think they were sick of being under the Xbox shadow as it was holding back their branding

i tried yerba mate in an an automatic drip coffee maker with some cream and sugar and i was blown away by the energy i got from it. there was no caffeine crash. it was a sustained energy. it takes a while to kick in so u gotta drink it first thing in morning. u can find some popular bags of it on amazon. it has to be the loose leaf stuff, not the individual bags. i think i tried Taragui Yerba Mate Con Palo. but there are other brands that are just as good.

i spent a while in argentina and they drink it down there with the gourds. it's interesting. we would be in a meeting and someone would start passing around a gourd and each person would drink from the same gourd during a business meeting. that person would refill it with hot water from a thermos and pass it to the next guy.
Yes, it should be "a usual caveat". Possibly even "the usual caveat", but probably not "an usual caveat".
Do you still teach? I ask because when I obtained my C.S. degree, the curriculum required that students take a course that focused on ethics, entitled: Computing, Society, & Professionalism [1.]. I think this would be hard to squeeze into a BASIC course, but discussing the implications of use/abuse of technology is valuable.

Typo -- the author thought this caveat is unusual. Amusingly, it's not, so they're grammatically incorrect but factually accurate when they intended to reverse those.
Yep. This whole thing is very closely related to that game. But embedded in that game is almost always a rule where the "return" in terms of customer value relative on "investment" in terms of effort/discounts/perks is better for new customers relative to old ones.

yes, but "can" is rather optimistic.

The largest number I saw written out is the number of symmetries in the monster group, spelled out on wikipedia (iirc).
I tend to agree about the hyper-strict parts (e.g. less than $500k in savings).

The thing to think about is whether or not you'd be better off if you kept a job, but had a lower savings rate. How certain are you that you'd be able to keep earning money through a disease or recession on the "job only" track?

The other thing is that with $1.3 million in savings, the 4% withdrawal rate puts your annual spending allowance at the median household income in the USA. In other words, just having that amount saved means you're earning more than 50% of the US.

There is a gray area between $500k of savings (income near the poverty line for family of 3) and 1.3 million, but I think the risks of the FIRE strategy are a little over-stated.
Technology improved over time but that had nothing to do with environmental regulations.

If you want an even comparison pick a random European car and a random American car and see which one you would rather drive.

The European car will likely be some <2 liter, maybe diesel, tiny box that is like a slightly improved Yugo, and the American car will be a luxury tank.

Trying to force Americans to cut down to European standards of living through government mandates is not politically popular. As long as we have democracy it would probably be better to come up with some alternative policy approaches.
