Better yet also include an alternative link to an archive like https://archive.li/ or similar.

Answering my own question: "These crashes often led to vehicles flying at high speed into the very objects which guardrails or barriers were supposed to protect them from in the first place. To address the vaulting and rollover crashes, energy-absorbing terminals were developed."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_barrier#Barrier_end_tr...
"Optional" doesn't mean "exclude it if you feel like it". It means "think about it and decide whether it's worth adding". They can be excluded if doing so doesn't present a danger (e.g. it's a small road).

From the one photograph we've seen of the slip road in question, I'd say the lack of chevrons poses quite a serious danger. It looks just like a normal lane. I've never noticed a slip road branch off like that in the UK, i.e. a big crash barrier up the middle but no chevrons.

(I'm not saying whoever designed this section of road is guilty of some sort of crime, or is somehow responsible for the crashes, I'm just saying it should have been designed better).

Exactly. Tesla drivers will be older, more affluent, and I bet, generally safer drivers. I'm sure an insurance company could easily debunk those statistics.
Or they care, but don’t really understand, and now with something concrete they both care and understand. Well have to wait and see, but the weakness of your argument (restating your thesis not being much of one) strikes me as obvious.
Same here. Only thing I'm still strongly dependent on is gmail. I don't really think that's going away anytime soon, but out of principle I'd like to move away from it. Takes a lot of energy unfortunately and you probably need to keep a redirect in place for a long time just in case...
They don't need to be 1000x safer than humans. If they are 2x safer than humans, that is plenty for me to support using them. The issue is determining how safe they in fact are, to appropriately high confidence, before putting people at risk.

That is something that "tech" companies will in all likelihood never be able to do, since they seem uniquely designed to betray and lose the public's trust at the earliest opportunity.

"Tech" companies have become far too culturally accustomed to dishonest hype, "growth hacking", marketing BS, PR spin, etc. for their statements to be trusted, especially when there are life-and-death implications.
I use NewsBlur as well ever since the demise of Google Reader. The native apps are fantastic and it’s been dead reliable. I feel the small amount I pay for it is totally worth it and is definitely one of my most used apps. I don’t think it gets enough love.
This wouldn't even work with the completely fair scheduler, which is the Linux default scheduler.

I'd argue: Yes, this is true. But you need at least on stable part in the toolchain for the kernel to get reliable results. You can't have your hammer transform to a screwdriver just because you swing it in the other direction. And if there is such a tool/case, you need to be absolutely sure how and when it behaves this way, on every possible platform.

This is not the case for evolving C++.

Having tiered pricing + "Call us if ..." works at a large scale. At small scale, particularly smaller startups in the B2B space, extracting value from each deal matters a lot more as you don't have anywhere near the level of deal flow on your inbound funnel.

Note that B2C is totally different and unless you're doing some very high priced / bespoke delivery then you have to go cookie cutter.
In case anyone's wondering, here's a simple example of 3 variables so that the first is positively correlated with the second, the second positively correlated with the third, but the first and the third have a negative correlation: simply take 3 independent standard normal variables, X, Y, Z, and define our 3 variables to be u=X+Y, v=Y+Z, w=Z-X. Then correl(u,v)=0.5, correl(v,w)=0.5 and correl(u,w)=-0.5.

And Nim produces a small binary with the ability to tell the GC if/when/how long to run, no need for any interpreter or VM. It targets c before final compilation.

I dont think that's the case. However, if the people who build it refuse to take responsibility for their defects killing people then I think that's the clearest possible signal that the technology isn't viable.

Obviously this would also mean that compensation would have to go up for self driving car engineers and execs to compensate for the risk. That's fair, and, if that cost makes a self driving car venture uneconomic - again, not viable. And that's okay.

People take responsibility for other people's lives every day when they get in a car. I don't think the idea that Uber engineers should do the same should be considered particularly controversial.

I don't think we'd have a USPS at this point if not for Amazon and other online retailers.

If I'm understanding the USPS FY 2017 Revenue & Weight report (http://about.usps.com/who-we-are/financials/revenue-pieces-w...) properly, it would appear that shipping packages is their only area of growth with nearly ever other parcel type going the way of the dodo.

Being pro-active about telling it which topics or sources you don't like helps a lot. My only wish is to say that I don't like a specific article. Often I get an article on a topic from a source I generally like but the specific article is junk.
Remember the Matrix, where all of humanity is trapped in a giant simulation so they can be drained of their energy? And only a few people were able to wake up and see the real world? The business world is like that, where most people believe they have to go down the standard path of using the sexy new tech stack and a whole team of devs, when they should really be looking for an off the shelf product or service or an established tech.

In 2009 a company I worked for operated several coupon/deal sites and they published affiliate links on them. They had a team of several editors who monitored a shared email account that received updates from the various affiliate programs. In order to keep track of which emails had been read by each editor, they hired a contractor who built a custom Ruby on Rails app to read the inbox, ingest the emails into a database, and display them in a dashboard so they could be assigned to users and tracked. The paid tens of thousands of dollars to have it created. When I was hired, the first thing I asked was, why didn't you just use Email Center Pro (now Outpost) for $10/month?
Yup and this has saved me from at least 2 collisions! The first time was right after I got the car and I was totally not watching the road but instead playing around with the controls and suddenly the screen started flashing red. The second time was a car to my right as I tried switching lanes. I rarely let the car drive itself, but when I have it often alerts that I don’t have my hands on the wheel and I’m like uhh literally holding the wheel so I take the data that indicates the driver not holding the wheel with a grain of salt...
It has been obvious that they were bad for a while. I called it years before: http://joshua.schachter.org/2009/04/on-url-shorteners

Thanks for that clarification. I can still identify with that description, but I believe it's more due to burnout/exhaustion with trying to fill a role that doesn't suit me (i.e. manager) rather than chronic absenteeism as they are describing.
I hope you added the entire link in an appendix, otherwise it’s not Google’s fault for ruining your paper.
I'm working through it now actually thanks. Also similar but (IMHO) better-written is a new book I just started reading, called Finish Big by Bo Burlingham, which covers a lot of the same ground, with more case studies.
It gives you the correct English pronunciation. The point isn't to make a perfect phonentic alphabet, it's to distinguish between the English word "mate" and the Spanish loan-word "maté" which have different pronunciations. And I don't think the distinction between eh and ay as you've laid out is very meaningful to a native English speaker. Depending on where you are those may be pronounced exactly the same.

Email is still pretty simple. It’s the stuff around email that has appeared for source validating and spam prevention that has complicated it...and really that’s not any one persons fault. Just people trying to solve a hard problem.

SPF, DKIM and DMARC seem to be making a real dent here though. DKIM is the most complicated to implement and manage since ideally you want to periodically rotate the keys and it has to be implemented at the sending server level instead of the DNS.
Ask HN: Self-hosted digital assistant: alternative to Siri, Alexa, Cortana?
I wondered if there is such a thing where you don't have to be worried about your data.

As far as I understand, such a digital assistant needs at least those parts:

(1) voice-to-text
(2) natural language processing (NLP)
(3) execute action + speech output (optional)

Are there free (open-source) tools for all of those three points? Is it possible to build a DIY solution for Siri/Alexa/Cortana?

Thought of something like:

(1) use Nuance Dragon to convert your voice to text
(2) use Python (NLTK?) to process the text and execute some actions (like getting the weather from weather.com)
(3) use Nuance software or something similar to play a voice with the result

If anybody knows of some projects like this or has some experience, please share it. Most likely the limiting factor will be performance, but maybe this is feasible with a desktop PC with recent hardware.

Maybe Jasper (https://jasperproject.github.io) is what I am looking for. But I think this also is dependent on a 3rdparty server and I am looking for a completely self-hosted solution.

Thank you in advance!

>> You're going to have to explain to me how the wealth of a driver has any bearing on their ability to pilot a self-driving car.

It doesn't. But autopilot is only supposed to be used on the highway. Not in New York City. Not on dirt roads. On the highway. That's the easiest place to make a system like that work - adaptive cruise control and a simple lane follower go a long way there (I hope Tesla has something a lot more advanced than that). To compare stats on their limited use autopilot to the whole country is truly disingenuous.
It turns out brains can freeze in a panic.
Similar center divide that killed princess Diana.
I don't know of such apps, but you could try asking on r/selfhosted as well, as redditors are more into this kind of stuff.
> Or it can drive over a toddler or pin someone against a wall until they die.

There might be situations where this could happen but humans have such a bad track record when it comes to driving/parking/paying attention in general that i'd trust a good autopilot over the average person. There will be bugs but at least we're able to work on them. Improving human driving skills seems unfeasible with any other current technology.
Hey

Without sugar coating, let me just say that this is really a nasty move, primarily because AgileBits is a shady company (though it has a good enough product) that uses dark patterns to lure people to buy subscriptions and makes people jump through hoops to find the standalone version. Putting such a company in front of thousands of users is a nasty way to treat his site's visitors, IMO.

In the blog post, Troy says the cost of HIBP is more than a few coffees, but am not sure if that's per day or per week. Hopefully the latter. Someone in his position wouldn't feel the pinch, as he himself states that "the time commitment" is what concerns him more. Regardless, his effort and time are worth paying for so that more people can benefit from the service. My contention is that AgileBits is not the right entity to partner with to get some money for this service.

He also hasn't yet talked about the long term plans for HIBP, though people have asked him about the "bus factor" currently being 1. He's said he'd write about it soon. If he's going to hand over management of HIBP to AgileBits, that would make it look really weird and remove at least some of the trust that HIBP now commands.

Wish he had put up some fundraising page or an annual fundraiser — given his fame in tech circles, I'm sure that would've gotten more money than necessary to run HIBP and to pay for his time. Wish he had planned to hand over HIBP to a set of individuals (not companies) for long term care. Alas, what a sad move!
I think it's decentralized partly because itunes doesn't integrate with any other services. So to serve android and IOS many podcasters NEED a single RSS feed that they point iTunes and other services to. Many relatively small services exist to help with hosting, and usually provide a hosted RSS link independent of itunes/whatever.

I really hate that many podcasters are trying to push their own app or their publishers / organizations app (even NPR is doing this). Getting everyone using the same platform is how podcasts will get youtubified.
The Simple Learning System
Yes, it's always good to leave X to somebody who knows how to do X. However, this ought not be left to "professional" cryptographers. After all, "professional" merely means you're getting paid for it.

History has shown again and again that many professional cryptographers do not know what their doing at all. From Crypto AG, over Wifi encryption standards, early SSL encryption, to cell phone encryption standards professional cryptography has failed again and again. There's probably more snake oil in commercial cryptography than in open-source hobbyist projects.

Professional cryptographers, as well as intelligence agencies and police authorities around the world have a vested interest in perpetuating the myth that you shouldn't roll your own crypto, even though they know that e.g. certain combinations of cryptographic primitives or higher round numbers in existing algorithms are more secure at best and no less secure in the worst case. There are many other modifications that would potentially strengthen cryptography, e.g. triple encryption with minimum key or cascading ciphers.

The advocacy against home-made cryptography started in response to the cyperhpunk movement in the 90s, which was perceived as a threat for a very simple reason: Nonstandard implementations need to be reverse-engineered individually, and this is very labour intensive and can become prohibitively expensive even for large well-funded government agencies. Use of standard libraries is therefore much more desirable, as it also makes it easier to tailor your side-channel attacks to the endpoint. Moreover, if there is a weakness in a library, it can be exploited on more systems. Also, you can attack the servers and machines of fewer developers, e.g. exchange binaries when they are downloaded.
Is there a self-hosted web mail service w ux like gmail, that you can migrate to smoothly and pay a license for?

I would consider this move. I just assume no one has ux even close. It would take me at least a year to fully transition from one gmail address.
It is ludicrous I feel to worry about getting to a stage where nobody ever has any type of accident.

I'd like to know what the actual rate would be, the 5k miles figure is for conservative thresholds of when control should be handed over, and many problems may be safely solvable (if annoying) by simply coming to a halt or pulling over.

No, the current setup is not OK to release on a large scale, but it's not expected to be, and we're not 12 orders of magnitude from a reasonable point.
Yes, because a developer wrote a joke project, and nowthe whole ecosystem is garbage...

Is it completely gone? I thought it could be found by posting on the forums or searching deep within the site (not easy, but was possible).

I for one have moved out of 1Password on the desktop and use other clients. I don't mind paying for software, but companies using dark patterns like hiding purchase options intentionally don't deserve my money.
I support this, but I think that RSS services for publishers need to be a part of this conversation, too. I wrote a piece a while back about how FeedBurner has basically been allowed to survive in zombie form at Google—with literally no improvements since at least 2011.

https://tedium.co/2017/11/14/google-feedburner-rss-history/

There are alternatives to FeedBurner that are quite good (I personally use FeedPress) but I think that if RSS is going to get any momentum back, we need more people making these tools again. The emergence of JSON as an alternative to RSS is a real opportunity here.

(Side note: Was a long-term Digg Reader user, so its loss was felt. I found FeedBin a decent alternative for my needs, FWIW.)
Thanks, fixed. I used "Account not active", because an account can be deactivated later.
