I have a Subaru with eyesight too.

The auto-braking in Subarus with eyesight can engage in two circumstances that I'm aware of.

1: The car is travelling at 50 km/hr or less, and perceives an oncoming obstacle.

2: The car is using adaptive cruise control, and perceives that it is getting too close to the vehicle ahead.

I think there are some circumstances where the designers decided that auto-braking would actually be worse. For instance, at highway speed, it's usually not possible to come to a stop quickly enough to avoid a stationary object that has somehow suddenly come into your path. Say, a deer. It's best to take your feet off both pedals and swerve around the obstacle. This reduces speed while also allowing maneuvering, something that braking works against. It also gives drivers behind you more time to react.

If the Tesla system works similarly I would expect similar design decisions. However, I would expect autopilot on a Tesla to function similarly to adaptive cruise control, which will jam on the brakes when it thinks it's going to hit something. This has actually engaged erroneously on two occasions for me, on windy roads, so I only use adaptive cruise control in straight-arrow highway situations now.

I've noticed that in certain weather conditions the cameras will stop being able to get good enough data to make decisions. The car disables the system and notifies me with a warning indicator.

tl;dr - auto-breaking based on parallax cameras can't be deployed in every situation, and sometimes the cameras can't get a clear shot.
I, personally, am much more comfortable using an iPhone than any other mobile phone. I have very little trust in Android phones, especially one that has > 0 apps from the Play store installed.

(I'd still be using a Blackberry if they had any decent offerings, however.)
Glitch is something special, something very activating and super engaging. This is amazing news!
There's a pretty good movie called The Circle from 2017 with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson that stylized really well what's happening now with FB. (The funniest part was Doga!)
flue gas with high CO2 concentrations

Wouldn't such a technology be useful in "scrubbing" exhaust from electrical plants, at least?
OK. Maybe not GPG specifically.

But keypairs. Everyone should understand keypairs. They are the basis for all of digital security, and they are really not that difficult.
That's such BS. That crash wouldn't have happened if the human wouldn't have used the Autopilot at all (which Tesla encourages you to do when you buy their cars).

Also, I'm not sure I even understand their point - how exactly does Autopilot make for "safer driving" right now (not talking about a perfect version of it 15 years from now)?

Are they talking about auto-braking maybe? I can see how auto-braking can make for safer driving, but I don't think you even need the Autopilot enabled for that, do you? Plus, you'd be driving as you normally would. So why attribute that sort of feature to "Autopilot making driving safer"?

I think they are very distinct features, and they should be advertised as very distinct features. I have no problem with features that protect the manual driver in case of imminent accident, but "self-driving" of any level should not be enabled until the car can drive the human without any interaction from the human, which would be at least Level 4.
That's OVH, which uses a different control panel than their SoYouStart division. I just submitted a ticket with them asking if autorenew was possible and they replied right away confirming that autorenew is not possible, unfortunately.
Not totally sure how to respond to this, as you don't seem to have actually read my comment, but here goes

> "you are missing out on unimpeded hearing"

As I said, my plugged hearing is now as good as my formerly unplugged hearing. The only thing I'm "missing" is a couple kHz at the very top, above about 18kHz. I don't miss that, really. And if I want super-human hearing (like when I'm reviewing audio equipment), guess what? I just take them out!

"fear of hearing loss"

I started because of actual hearing loss, due entirely to "everyday" events; occasional concerts (jazz mostly), some woodworking and yardwork, screaming kids, etc. I developed a bit of notching at treble frequencies and I lost a lost of top end. According to a hearing test last year, I have managed to reverse most of this. I'd bet money you've incurred at least the same amount of loss.

> "Normal level sounds don’t degrade hearing as far as I know..."

It entirely depends on your definition of "normal". The NIOSH limit for exposure to 85 dB is 8 hours. 85 dB is not that loud; it's driving in traffic with the window down. Drive a crappy car in the city with the windows all the way down and it's closer to 100. Ask a farmer or trucker how much of that "normal" level is safe.

> "not based on science."

Cute. Since I'm sure you're up to date on this stuff, can you tell me why the NIOSH exposure thresholds don't use equal loudness curves to account for frequency? I'll give you a shiny science star if you figure it out.

> "and loud sounds aren’t that common..."

Um... yeah, actually they are.

> "You could expose yourself to 8 hours a day of a lawnmower at 90 dB and 90% of the population would be fine."

Great, you've convinced me! A mere 10% chance of hearing loss after a half day of moderate sound levels is totally reason enough to abandon a practice that allowed me to recover a hearing level almost as good as my 8-year-old kid's.

Seriously though, if the only data you're reading comes from occupational safety guidelines, you're going to fuck up your hearing eventually. NIOSH is a blunt instrument, meant to make it easier for industry to minimize liability for worker disability. But there's a world of benefit outside of occupation safety regs. I like hearing better. Pretty simple. Plus, there's good evidence that sub-acute noise-induced hearing loss is a significant component of age-related hearing loss. Remember that when you're eighty and pissed off that you've misplaced your hearing aids.
Stupid question. How do you solve (de)fragmentation and out of order delivery with unreliable protocol? What are cases and is it possible to make it simple?
I've heard an analogy that there are three types of relating:

- Therapy

- Yoga

- Enlightenment

This is a very unusual point of view so let me explain: what you've described is therapy relating. It's when you need consolation, a hug, someone to listen to, etc. Yoga is doing things together to experience something new or get something done. This is activity-based friendship, travel, telling stories, etc. Enlightenment is woo-woo type of relating where you relate to people the same way you relate to everything else in life - without purpose, you just do.

These are of course very broad strokes.
What if a lot of people did that?

That is exactly what a lot of people do. I don't think Facebook is conspiratorially hording funny cat videos. It's just standard practice to flag things as deleted. Everyone does it. I certainly have.
Since we're sharing...

One summer when I was 8 or 9, I used a nail to scrape out the inside of a model rocket engine or two ("D" if I remember correctly) from my older brothers model kit into a pile on the concrete garage floor, then used a broken cord (literally a wall plug, a couple feet of cord, and two exposed ends) to ignite it by hand using the electric spark from the live leads.

After fleeing the garage in terror and slight pain (lucky not to have either electrocuted myself or burnt the detached structure down), I hung out doing nothing for a few hours and acted like nothing had happened. It was little use, though. Upon arriving home, my mother immediately know something was up. Not only was my face a little singed, I had burnt my eyebrows off.

Funnily enough, I'm fairly to heavily conservative when it comes to dangerous activity as an adult. I don't even drive all that fast usually.
An awful lot of people in the general public do.

Especially if their tech-savvy friends are confident they can learn about it - because it really isn't that complex - and if they understand that keypairs and trust are the basis for literally all digital security.
Protip: NAC prevents hangovers. I take one before and one after if I'm expecting an epic night out. The downside is, I don't get drunk so all the drink spend is wasted money. The upside, I come across as impervious instead of naturally being the lightweight of the group. Very useful when hanging out with alcoholic salespeople if you need to work the next day.

Test it out before you need it because the taste/smell makes some people puke like crazy for half an hour...
RSS was not discoverable for non-techy users, in part because browser support was clunky and publishers were reluctant to send readers away from their websites (and ads). But these days publishers rely on Twitter and Facebook as a "worse is better" method to syndicate links to their content. Twitter and Facebook are discoverable and sharable.

I feel like there is some opportunity to create new personalized social software or services using RSS in a post-Facebook world.

Okay, so if it wasn't intentional how else could old videos still be in the system. Videos is not a new feature and the videos date back as far as 2008.

Facebook may be a bad player, but they have tons of talent working for them. Are you seriously suggesting that they stored a decade worth of videos that never saw a single view/download and nobody there realized it?

I have no such duty. I'll teach my kids when they get a bit older, but trying to teach adult friends is an unrewarding exercise in futily (mansplaining even).

Yes you should do this. I’m about to hire somebody to work on the NewsBlur web issues while I attend grad school. I have a strong feeling that a lot more is about to happen once I start hiring other developers to build it further.
A big plus for me is that NewsBlur is free software (MIT licensed): https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur . It also comes with a nice API that can be used with several clients : https://newsblur.com/api .
> We sued Facebook, fought hard in a David and Goliath battle and won a good settlement. One day, maybe we'll have time to tell the whole story - you'd be utterly shocked what goes on inside Facebook - what you've already heard is just the tip of the iceberg.

Well that's a very interesting statement....
Maybe it's time for people to admit that self-driving is being romanticized by carmakers because they're trying to sell you their cars and therefore they have an incentive to blow their capabilities out of proportion.

I think for one carmakers are misleading about these systems' true capabilities, but second, I don't think they even know how imperfect these systems are because of a potentially unimaginable number of edge cases (which they thought would be much smaller and manageable).
Not so strange. The person above implies that they have lost some of their hearing already. As I understand it hearing loss is progressive - i.e. what is already done gets worse. I’m also of the opinion that damage can spiral - your hearing is damaged so noises that might otherwise be tolerable further damage you hearing. Not sure whether this is true or not.

Someone tried to kill me once by clubbing me repeatedly around the head; the only lasting damage was acutely tinnitus, mid-frequency hearing loss and hyperacusis. There used to be days that I was reduced to tears by noises being too loud, being unable to hear, and being disorientated by the screaming shrieking of the tinnitus in my ears. Now I wear earplugs whenever I’m going to be exposed to any noise above “quiet room” levels and it does the world of good. I’ve persuaded several friends to wear earplugs at gigs etc. First time they are sceptical that they won’t be able to hear. Then they realise that not only can they hear but in fact it sounds BETTER and they don’t suffer acoustic trauma the day after - which peoplempften confuse for a hangover.

Look after your ears!
Are any of these issues likely to lead up to an iOS exploit (or "jailbreak" if you will)?
OVH won't do anything even slightly advanced, no BGP support, no firewall beyond the very basic stuff and everything about OVH is super confusing. It is like they got together and decided to make up nonconventional names to common network terms to piss everyone off. OVH is pretty cheap, but very basic. Plus good luck trying to understand an overage bill.
Gradual Programming
A lot of hard work, very little financial certainty. I don't know if word that as that mental health, anymore than I'd call someone who doesn't have enough food, to be having poor physical health. When we can narrow the term down to something specific, we should.
Actually, GDPR only requires that any links from the data to the user should be destroyed, so that you can no longer figure out who created the data.

Not in this case, because if the photos or videos contain recognisable people then they are themselves personal data.

How far the new subjects rights involving data deletion will go in practice is one of the biggest unknowns with the GDPR. Clearly from a technical point of view we understand that deleting a key isn't the same as deleting data from a disk, and often that would also include deleting a file in a filesystem if the underlying storage isn't robustly wiped as well. Throw in the kinds of distributed architecture, redundancies and backup systems that many organisations use, particularly in the era of cloud-based hosting and off-site backup services, and you have an unfortunate conflict between not truly deleting data (and therefore still having some degree of risk that the data will leak even if it's intended to be beyond use, contrary to the spirit and possibly the letter of the new regulations) and potentially high or even prohibitive implementation costs to ensure robust deletion of all copies of personal data when a suitable request is received.
Absolutely.

It's a marketing term, and they are intentionally committing murder by the act of not calling it "LaneAssist" or some other similarly boring name.

Poor whites do not in fact have much the same relationship with "authority" as poor blacks. There is abundant evidence that the criminal justice system treats black people more harshly than it does white people. It is also not the case that concern about this disparity has to be abandoned in favor of "unity" with poor whites in order to rectify it.
I actually don’t think so. That would be a form of collective punishment which is strictly forbidden and the officers was really careful about not crossing that line. Was a bit chocking for me to learn that, I feel like American movies have lied to me my entire life when the military didn’t let the whole platoon do push-ups every time someone made a mistake :)

Library interface does not imply safe interface. More often than not one is required to study the supplied documentation, but even then some libraries require a certain amount of domain knowledge before one could apply their programming skills.

That goes beyond security.
Yeah, I'm going to call BS on this one. More specifically, on the lanekeeping claim. The current non-Tesla implementations are worse or much more limited at the price point you mentioned (and frankly, at most price points).
Bitly does this. Just add a + to the end of any bitly URL to view stats, e.g.:

You generally only use this for data where only the latest update matters. So if you get "Packet 18" "Packet 30" "Packet 19", you take 18, then 30, then ignore 19. The canonical example is an object's position; usually if you know what something's position is at 30 then information about where it was at 19 is so out of date it's useless.

The gain here is that you typically get the latest information as fast as possible. The downsides, of course, are that there's a pretty steep decline on connections that are even a little high latency or lossy. UDP drops packets even on wired LAN, for example. Practically all games use this method, and they all have lots of smoothing and prediction tech to make things seem like you're getting constant position updates -- which you almost certainly aren't.

You can also use this for data that doesn't matter -- although if it doesn't matter you should question why you're sending it in the first place.

"The guy who was showing me around pointed out where they were building "apartments for our people to live".

"So they'll work on campus, they'll eat on campus, they'll socialise on campus and now they'll sleep on campus?" I asked. I wondered whether maybe that was kind of unhealthy. Creepy, even.

My guide looked right at me, and for a moment, his megawatt smile faltered. When he first worked there, it reminded him of the Dave Eggers book, The Circle, he said. Then he started talking about the opportunity to connect the world's people, and I stopped listening."

The whys are obvious. What is not obvious is why we allow bodies like the NSF to continue advocating nonspecifically for careers in STEM when there is no domestic market for most PHDs. It's also befuddling why most faculty are able to sleep at night knowing they are at the top of a pyramid scheme.

It's worse than that they encourage young people to pursue a brutal career. They require what little money is allotted to research to be partially spent on making this problem worse.

But most readers of nature wouldn't like to hear those things.
I generally agree with other people's posts that there are better uses of your time.

However, if you wanted to do this, why bother recording it? Read a little about the mp4 spec and it would probably be fairly easy to generate mp4s containing random data. You could even go further and generate video that tricks facial/object recognition.

70 dollars for 9ft of fiber with connectors? I almost always make my own cables (fiber included) but for some special jobs where it was a time contraint I'd use pre-made but that still seems very steep. Where are you sourcing cables?

I also suppose not everyone knows how to terminate fiber and I've done it so much it's become second nature.

> A lot of hard work, very little financial certainty.

Yes. It's exhausting. I'm several years past post-grad, have had a succession of one-year contracts, doing work I love and believe in and I genuinely believe has a lasting value, but the lack of any kind of security sucks. I'm rapidly approaching a wall where by I have to either go for tenure track/something more managerial/teaching or leave for something hopefully more lucrative in the private sector.

Sadly continuing with my present (rewarding, interesting) work is not an option even though after I leave, the work will still exist and will still have to be done by someone. But the academic system, such that it is, is a conveyor belt, and you gotta move on or get off.

And I got lucky too. My postgrad experience was short, went relatively well, and I'm well paid by academic standards now. I'm constantly surprised I made it out ok given the amount of stress it generated. I know many people who had much more miserable experiences in postgrad.
It's not a completely reliable heuristic, but it's easy to check, and the things it's flagged that I've checked have turned out to be bullshit. (Sometimes highly respectable, promoted-by-mainstream-institutions bullshit, but not supported by quality studies if you read carefully.)

I am fascinated to know how you are going to wedge gender politics sideways into this completely gender neutral conversation.
