Tesla always blame the "driver" (and publicly so, nonetheless) when they are killed by their "autopilot" (which is actually driving, that is fulfilling the purpose indicated by its name, despite being not very good at it...) -- either directly, or by carefully stating misleading statements that are both technically correct and incredibly dishonest in the context of both the events and the surrounding text.

Why people are still using their shit is beyond me. Why they are still authorized to sell it under this marketing (like the name given to it, or the mismatch between the restriction and the practice), I also can't understand: it should be better regulated by the authorities.
BazQux coupled with FeedMe on Android is fantastic!
I think it is long past the date when the EU should have started to apply reciprocally onerous standards to the US citizens traveling to Europe. Unless the US travelers start raising fuss at home about their treatment abroad, this BS will continue.

I am pretty sure that this nonsense would change very fast the moment CEOs of big US companies get a proper interrogation on arrival at Heathrow or Frankfurt and/or get denied entry for arbitrary and undisclosed reasons (as is common in the US).

(before someone jumps on me that the article is about visas and not ESTA applying to EU countries - well, the ESTA questionnaire is pretty much identical to the visa one, including the "have you been a member of a terrorist organization?" questions. Just you normally don't need to go to an embassy interview and it can be handled online as long as you don't get flagged for some reason).

Precisely. Hopefully the NTSB's investigation will be thorough enough to explore the possibility of undetected manufacturing defects in the deceased's Model X when compared to other Model Xs that rolled off the line at the same time.

"I am a cofounder" is the new "I play in a band"

I guess Japanese society values stable trajectories in life more than money, whereas in the US the common trope is "you work for someone — you never get rich" and since getting rich is the only definition of success we have this hustle culture.
Just doing your job is not a justification or defense.

Everyone has a choice to make as to what role they want to play in society, some people have chosen to build the tools of our destruction in exchange for pieces of silver, but that was their choice, "just doing their job" does not absolve them of that choice
So, say Alice her money was transferred first, and bob's money second.

Then, after you've spend N coins, anyone looking for bob's coins sees you no longer have them. Anyone looking for Alice's coins sees they are still with you. This is because it is FIFO, so the outgoing transaction is only spending from Bob's coins.
This article seems to be premised on the idea that Facebook's problems are caused by its designers, not its investors and the regulatory environment that it exists in.

The problems with FB are not a failure of design or engineering but a failure of the business and political culture.

Can that failed business and political culture solve its problems by creating onerous new laws on other people? I would think not, although they may try.
It seems that if you use Microsoft Azure for image recognition you would come to the conclusion that there are giraffe's everywhere: http://aiweirdness.com/post/171451900302/do-neural-nets-drea...

This might be an example of how a specialized dataset that was used to train an AI for a specific task, was later taken as part of another dataset to train a more general AI and the result was an AI with a "distorted view" of the world.
This is probably the worst part about driving a Tesla: Your car is going to testify against you. Because Tesla can and will make a statement like this, and they will always throw you under the bus. Which is a terrible way to treat a customer, as a general practice.
Replace "robot" with "car" and it suddenly doesn't sound sci-fi at all.
> History has shown again and again that many professional cryptographers do not know what their doing at all.

Case in point: you should never use plain-text ascii as a key directly. You should always run your source key through a KDF, which will produce an actual key of the proper length. Also, what matters is not the length of the key, but how much entropy it has. Anything more than 128 bits is serious overkill.
When on a plane there's a "Ground" alert, pilot is supposed to act immediately to prevent a crash. He cannot be absent from the cabin and he cannot finish the game level on his smartphone first. The same is with the car, that is not sold as fully autonomous: if you are on the driver seat, you are responsible for making the final decisions on steering and braking, not a technology. Technology may help you and prevent from making mistakes, but it was not promised or advertised that it will help in 100% of the cases.

As we see in latest Tesla report, there were multiple warnings to which the driver should respond: this means, that the problem was detected with enough time to react and the autopilot was not able to solve it on its own. Thus, it does not make sense to blame the autopilot - the technology did behave as expected (when problem cannot be solved, report asap to the owner, that he should intervene).

What Tesla can actually be blamed for, is the misunderstanding of the autopilot capabilities by the drivers. It's not an algorithmic bug, but rather a usability one. Perhaps, the warning should be issued earlier or in a more clear way. Perhaps, the drivers should receive some training, to act as supervisors of the system, not as passengers, or there even should exist a special driving license for such types of cars.

Nevertheless, the main fault was not the driver's and not the Tesla's. The safety of this road should be guaranteed by the authorities in charge, the navigation should be made sufficient for the drivers, and they clearly failed to do so.
"How awesome would it be if that guy who drives like an asshole all the time would actually have that affect his life?"

You clearly haven't seen the first post-Netflix Black Mirror episode.

It's a big mistake to expect people (ANY people, government or randoms, does not matter) to use this type of ranking system in a logical, rational way. Most people are unable to make logical and rational decisions. Just look at what people are eating for lunch, let alone who they are voting and WHY.

Basically any ranking system of this type has two fates, depending on who does the ranking (the people or the government):

In case of people doing the ranking, it becomes a popularity contest that rewards what you project of yourself to the external world. Remember, your external projection != you. This is already going on in the context of social media, and has started a de-evolution and demise of our civilization. Nobody cares about their inner selves anymore, and why care if what you project brings you greater rewards from the external world.

In case of government, well, just no. Stalin-type power gripping has never been easier. Someone criticising? Just change a single float variable (the person's score) from say 9.7 to 0.2 and the problem solves itself.

PS. We don't need a ranking system to end someone's asshole-esque driving. Find them, break enough facial bones and make sure they understand it was because of their driving. I promise you that will be the end of it. If not, there are about 44 or 358 solutions that fix the problem for good.
I used to register and use domain go.gl for my photography business in early 2000’s

Was thinking about registering goo.gl just for kicks (it was available back then) but turned off this idea because Greenland would charge $50+ for registering. And it had to be done over the FAX!

No afaik. I accepted the loss of usability and moved away anyways.
> How does Keepass not get attention?

My guess is that the lack of browser integration (with extensions) that helps people autofill on specific sites/domains is what keeps it from being recommended as much as LastPass or 1Password.
If you take the human factor away 5 seconds ahead of time warning is quite a lot. The car could have slowed down to a possibly non fatal speed. By asking the human to act the autopilot is actually throwing away at least 2 of those precious 5 seconds.
They lost my trust after how they treated the 2013 Nexus 7. Great tablet in spite of the company behind it.
I personally feel like Haskell makes a good reference implementation for functional programming. Whenever someone is explaining how to do some interesting FP thing in, say, JavaScript, I usually just ignore them and go read about how the same thing is done in Haskell, which is usually clearer and less burdened with the complexity of getting a mutable, proceedural, eager language to behave like an immutable, lazy, functional one.

Don't some VoIP devices use 1.1.1.1 too to check connection type or something?

There was a paper from a couple years ago when 1.1.1/24 (or bigger, don't remember) was still unassigned; at some AS they logged what kind of traffic was targeted at that subnet, by IP, port and protocol and 1.1.1.1 stood out. Can't find that paper just now unfortunately. :-(
Yes, Tesla needs to not be releasing PR targeted for the masses, they should be releasing statements with a scientific level of information. Whether it is disingenuous or not, whether it was rushed statement, they perhaps need to better scrutinize. It would be fine if they released the holistic information, so long as they get into full depth possible. They need to act as stewards we can trust, if they fail to do so then they will lose mindshare and longer-term market share as they will simply blend in with everyone else.

The obvious failure was the highway safety mechanism not immediately being replaced after the previous crash - that would have made the Tesla crash have gone from death to perhaps only minor injuries.

I would argue too there is a need for AI image analysis - could perhaps be crowdsourced - to analyze the structure/state of a highway or any road. It would of course need to be trained, however it could also likely serve as tool to improve road safety worldwide - bringing everyone in line with known best practices. In this case, it would have caught the improper safety mechanism not being replaced, and then that death would have been avoided; cost-benefit analysis says this system would be worth it as life is invaluable.

If Tesla/Elon leads this effort it would show them being proactive in improving future safety, accountable, and taking ownership. Why has no other auto manufacturer done so, why has no government implemented such a system? Well, because honestly we are stuck in scarcity only caring about our own costs, and so if the random person dies here and there, there's not a big enough ripple effect (unfortunately) to cause enough personal worry to cause change. Tesla, if wanting to posture as being the steward I think many of us hope they are, does however absorb these ripples that get associated with their brand - and therefore the responsibility does pass onto them, whether they agree to accept it or not.

All auto manufacturers would likely benefit from this, allowing their software to work better within certain expected constraints. Many more possibilities as I think of it, newly spotted damage or cracks in bridges, detection of debris on highway or excessive dirt on the edge of the road making the conditions more dangerous for emergency stopping/maneuvering, etc.

Edit: I added a few sentences, so the one upvote prior to editing, they didn't upvote everything I said though it's all in line.

> Unless you are training a very deep CNN with a lot of 4x4 kernels, they won't give you much of a speedup

That's not true. 4x4 kernels are not a requirement and Tensor Cores work on GEMMs as well: https://devblogs.nvidia.com/programming-tensor-cores-cuda-9/

They can also be used in more HPC-like applications, such as iterative refinement, as shown by Jack Dongarra's group ( http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projectsfiles/magma/pubs/68-main.pdf - ~3x speedup vs pure fp64 for the same accuracy)
I also use mc everyday, because it gives huge performance boost when working in shell, but it's time for face lift.

Can you elaborate on why "iMessage encryption is moot when it later gets uploaded to iCloud from your device."? What do you mean by Keychain data being encrypted end to end? When does keychain data leave the local host?

Also might you have any citations or resources you could share on these Apple practices? Thanks.

Taking it further, if need be could something like that be pulled to altitude like a glider, the idea being using liquid fuel only for the the portions of the flight where it has massive advantages.
Yes. I've migrated to other services for just about everything they offer except gmail. I'm still looking but have not found a comparable service in terms of quality and pricing.

If anyone has suggestions I would be really interested in hearing them.
So much fluff to say that the product is getting an opt-in telemetry. I wish they come out and say it outright instead of all this diplomacy and fluff.

I stopped considering Caddy during the fiasco of stapling stuff to header if you download pre-built binaries. Trust is hard to gain once lost, and non straight talk like this will help no one.

It's a pity since it seems like a really good project yielding overall good by making security convenient.
I’d be willing to make the same bet, the problem would be one of definition.
Not self-hosted, but I am very happy with Zoho [0]. They target companies and their free plan includes lots of features like support for your own domain. The web UI is comparable to GMail (indeed in parts I prefer it) and they offer a very good Android app as well.

I used to do that, but you're tied to Thunderbird that way and I don't recall it having syncing for RSS, either. With a cron job, you're free to use whatever clients you want across multiple devices, with free sync thanks to IMAP.
I've tried Feedly but my goodness, the corporate language is such a turn off. I just want a feed reader, I don't want to "Fuel your team's success," "Enrich articles with unique insights," "Automate your content workflows," "Reinforce your digital brand". These features may be cool and useful, but the way they're sold makes me gag.

I used my ad blocker to remove the "Well done!" that appears when everything is marked as read, it's so patronising.

Now I use rrss (https://github.com/pmarinov/rrss) because it just reads feeds and doesn't constantly promote itself with management garbage.
Seeing Through Realistic Fog
“For Tesla, there is one fatality, including known pedestrian fatalities, every 320 million miles in vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware. If you are driving a Tesla equipped with Autopilot hardware, you are 3.7 times less likely to be involved in a fatal accident.”

Their stat is for miles in vehicles equipped with autopilot, not miles driven by autopilot. So if their claim was whether a Tesla equipped with autopilot is safer than a standard car, this would be valid.

The comparison should be with miles driven with autopilot engaged. They must know this number because Tesla tracks everything.

It’s unethical of them to publish such misleading stats.

Cynically, I also think that the fatality rate of autopilot miles is either really bad or just not comparable due to too few miles. Either way, they should reveal this.
> "The truth is, we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer — if our customer was our product," Cook said on Wednesday. "We've elected not to do that."

You elected to pocket up to 30 % of all app revenue generated from your users and their data ($11.5 billion in 2017). How is that not monetizing your users?
> I had a few interactions with them over the years, and the official answer has always been (quote) "...we have no intention of removing the standalone licenses as an option." (email exchange in Aug 2016).

I don't think these statements have any value whatsoever if AgileBits is unwilling to expose this option on its website and make it easy to buy. There is no way to buy the standalone option without spending a lot of time on the website and hunting for it (or asking on the forums). It doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be) so hard, unless AgileBits is not confident about the subscription model or wants to hide something. As a potential customer, this is how I see it.
Agreed. Figshare is a good service for this. In addition all the publishing infrastructure is in place.
I never left.
One is the latency of starting up the "cold" lambda, one is the latency of actually starting it up and running your code. The latter is a moving target, subject to the setup i.e. size of loaded code, available memory/CPU, etc, and subject to the actual computation and the latency of its dependencies e.g. network calls, database queries, etc.
This is the reason i am big fan of running any software with separate users and setting ulimit to a low value so that something stupid like this cannot impact the production service. I would be super keen to try to replicate this scenario on my test cluster and see if my settings catching it. Does anybody know if the software in question is an opensource tool?
Well isn't it if the organization is large enough?

> It's very irresponsible for any company to do stuff like this.

It's very irresponsible for regulation to allow them to do that. And statistically for us to vote for politics that are not against that kind of behavior. Big companies rarely give a shit about killing people in the process of making money, as long as they are not punished for doing that. (And we, btw, mostly don't give a shit when the people being killed live in other countries, even when the process to do so is far more direct than the 1st world problem that interest us here.) People who used to organize those kind of criminal behaviors used to be held responsible for the consequences, but it is more rare now and the laws in various countries have actually been changed so that people managing companies are far less accountable than before for the illegal and otherwise bad things they order. As for companies being accountable, it is usually in punitive money that is order of magnitude less amount than the extra profit they made in doing their shit, so why would them stop? The risk of the CEO being sent to jail would stop them. Ridiculously small fines against the company, in the astonishingly rare cases where they even actually fined, not so.
Thanks for this! As a non-ML'er (for lack of a better term), I enjoyed seeing how simple it could be to port this kind of amazing stuff into a JS app :)

Key lessons from Google JavaScript style guide
Unsustainable (human) populations should shrink, which is alright and can't happen fast enough. A pragmatic and realist approach to demographic management, long overdue by today, I think, was last workable on a large scale in China (1-Child-Policy) and is never going to be effectively implemented again unless a major collapse happens. Ideally, that collapse would be local to areas where pressure on resources is especially high and the cost to civilization is relatively low, like in Africa, so that humanity overall can develop further.
I think herbst is saying that password managers store the passwords being managed, not the master password used to encrypt the DB.
> An audiologist friend told me to go to an ENT physician if not better by 48 hours or the damage could be permanent. Much longer than that and it would be too late to try any of the interventions

This seems like poor advice. If there is significant, realistic concern about permanent damage, I'd suggest checking immediately, rather than give it extra time...
Vue is great, I love it for my personal projects and it's also fairly common in PHP world but that's it. Angular is very popular in Java world and it works really great if you need a lot of forms. These people usually don't have time talking about it. React is popular everywhere else, especially among bloggers who usually fail to explain why exactly is React better choice.
How many "full fat" social networks are there though, really? In the English speaking world it's pretty much just Facebook. I don't think I'd even count twitter as a place where you have "all your friends", because most of the people that follow me are total strangers
So, you'll be fine as long as you have a secure passphrase and 2FA :)

And nobody hacks into your machine...
The focus here is on consumption, but IMHO it's also an ideal time to return to decentralized publishing, too [blogs, personal ("vanity") websites, etc.].
Of course the two go hand-in-hand... but maybe instead of trying to replace FB or Medium, it'd be better to take this alternate federated approach.
I take it to mean that when he says "monetize our customer" he means "the money comes from someone other than the customer themselves." Pocketing 30% of app revenue falls more under "providing a service" than "monetizing customers."
I’m always suspicious of the hasty calculations and assumptions made in such a fashion, but that is indeed pretty surprising.
Why another state management framework for Angular?
