I dont own a Tesla, but have driven it and I am floored by the whatever level of Autopilot it had, but as a non-owner I still think I'd never trust the Autopilot 100% (its like when riding shotgun, I'm as attentive as the driver, or more). So, I'm not sure if the Autopilot feature is something that makes the owners trust it more, if they use it more often.

Now, Tesla doesn't claim it is Level 5 Autonomous Driving with "Autopilot". Nor does it say one can drive it handsfree.

Accidents can be much worse if someone drove hands/attention free with just the cruise control on.

In this case of the fatal accident, I'm really surprised that the driver (as per the family) knew the problem area very well, and yet was driving with the autopilot on and not paying attention.

Unless he let the Autopilot go on its own, on purpose, thinking that Model X is super safe, so a head on collision with the barrier would prove his point to Tesla, or the Autopilot became too adamant and refused to disengage, leading to the crash, not sure at what point Tesla can be held liable, if there's any.

Also, I thought those barriers are super safe with enough crumple zones. Wonder how crashing into a barrier like that could lead to such a fatal accident.
Here is a good visualization on access speeds for each level of cache, then main memory. Now take the main memory access time and essentially double it (for your state of the art SSD's today) and that's the access speed.

Meanwhile, if you're willing to go to DDR4, then e.g. the XPS15 is looking mighty nice: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12605/dells-8th-gen-alienware...

"internals of the XPS 15 model 9570 have been upgraded: [...]a fully-unlocked six-core Core i9-8950 HK."

"Since the new processors support DDR4-2666 memory, Dell will equip its new XPS 15 with 8 – 32 GB of DDR4-2666. "

It even scores 4 lanes PCIe Thunderbolt, finally.

(I'm looking at upgrading my original X1 Carbon with a new one in the next couple of years myself so will probably wait for the LPDDR4).
2nd Annual ZFS User Conference
No, I think that's exactly the opposite of the right take-away re: how to think critically about the output of "scholar-celebrity" types. With both him and Zizek, it's idiotic to take their less well-based ideas at face value (ESPECIALLY if you find yourself knee-jerk agreeing with those ideas) just because they manage to say smart and well-informed things from time to time. Zizek knows lots about Lacan and also says lots of stupid random shit for the book sales. Peterson knows a lot about Nietzsche and also says lots of stupid random shit for the book sales. Same game, different customer.

(The signal-noise ratio on scholar-celebrities is so out of whack that simply ignoring them isn't a terrible heuristic, unless you're more interested in communication theory and marketing strategies than the subjects they're purportedly discussing.)

Quick update though: for client-server security, I copy-paste misquoted Colin and just now noticed it (because Colin noticed it for me). The 2015 document correctly says Colin's client-server recommendation is "custom RSA protocol", but when I formatted this document I managed to accidentally make it say the same as his recommendation for "website security".

I regret the error (but not the recommendation; don't make your own custom RSA-based transport protocol).
Does GDPR apply for my new data if I created my account in Europe but now live abroad?

I'm not going to address all of your post, but I will agree with one thing: the technosphere is full of bullshit artistry and quack philosophy stated with an air of authority so incorrigibly solemn, it moves marble busts to laughter. It seems people in tech, and elsewhere, believe that philosophy is just some shit you make up without having to really think through and verify anything you've said or see what others have written on the subject. All you need is to watch some crackpot's Youtube video to give you the confidence to play the wise man.

Philosophy, dear children, is a branch of knowledge that, like other branches of knowledge, requires lots of study and dedication if you're going to be any good at it. "Philosophy" is not a synonym for "here's my poorly thought through opinion".
It is not the business of companies to self-regulate. Unless there is some kind of certification involved. Eg the gaming industry self regulates by having different ratings for games depending on their content. Such a thing is likely not possible everywhere, and especially for something as general as data, and thus legislative rememedies are required

I think nursing may be a field where certain stereotypes, etc. keep the gender balance of the working population a certain way. And I think you correctly point out that men do have _access_ to the field of nursing so it’s not ad much of a problem per se. That said, the reason I think you can say men aren’t denied access is because you don’t have hordes of men revealing patterns of regular and constant discrimination, as you do in technological fields today, so I don’t think the comparison says what you wish it did.

Furthermore I think it’s telling that you being up nursing, a not particularly lucrative field, as a female dominated one. It’s not a secret that the most scrutiny is going to those fields that are the more lucrative/powerful as discrimination in such fields serves to keep wealth/influence concentrated in whiter, maler hands.
Thanks, really appreciate the writeup. I might give the course a crack, given the positive reviews it’s getting in this thread.

The real question is which of these have actually been vetted.

I trust NaCl and, specifically, DJB-associated implementations thereunto. Lots of people have looked at it. I trust DJB and his cohorts to think about and mitigate footguns as much as practical.

STROBE is right about a year old. Maybe it's awesome, but it almost certainly hasn't been vetted sufficiently.

I seem to recall that most PAKE's relied on one of the nice properties that modular exponentiation has that doesn't work for ECC. IIRC, quite a few of the PAKE's tried to use ECC and fell into the trap and created a breakable PAKE.

The patent situation around PAKE's didn't help. Fortunately, those patents just expired.

> If you’re doing embedded you need a security person around.

Apple couldn't even get it right. They implemented an 3072-bit SRP that takes almost 15-20 seconds on Cortex M0/M3 series processors unless you have an exponentiation accelerator (Cortex-M4).

If Apple can't get it right, what chance do those with far less resource have?

A list like the parent article but tailored to embedded would be quite welcome.

I honestly hope they don't take that approach. One of the biggest benefits of spotify is that they have damn near everything. If suddenly music becomes fragmented across a bunch of different services (like video), spotify loses their value.
I can't help but feel that the decisions behind `excluding these features globally` or `targeting these features specifically` are made for less than savory reasons.

I would understand if these features are available, though default to their 'current'/'non GDPR compliant' setting - but this does not seem to be the case.

Without an explanation how and why these decisions are being made, which is not 'legally' required; I think more and more users should question Facebook, and their motives.
This is one of the sorta controversial aspects -- the consensus is you either hard-delete or, if that's impossible or difficult, writing over or otherwise scrubbing the personal data bits with the goal of removing that data from a given person's identity.

Wow, that's excellent. Great job.
Can someone please explain to me why this cell security problem seems to be completely ignored? If encryption algorithms are broken, they're phased out and untrusted. But if 2g is insecure, there's not a single peep from networks or phone manufactures or Google or Apple about phasing out 2g. There isn't even an option to disable it.

Why don't towers have a sort of encryption certificate verifying they're legit?

Why doesnt my cell provider just provide my phone a list of it's legit towers?

I can think of so many ways to solve this problem. But it's super hard to find any information if how this all works.
I suppose it can be. The natural follow up is what you think it is about, say, engineering or law or finance or [insert field here] that men have a higher propensity toward? And why is it that nearly all of the most lucrative and powerful fields are the ones that men have a higher propensity towards? Trying to answer these gets prett hairy (and depending on your answers, very revealing about yourself) if you are trying to minimize the role of discrimination.
Agreed. Looking forward to when voice assistants can be taught new tricks by regular device users instead of having the new tricks be programmed by developers.

I wonder what will happen to the CPU, especially if it’s not speeding up much anymore. Perhaps with Apple doing its own chips, the CPU will just have less and less of the work assigned to it.
Maven plugins still have lots of structure to obey, but you can treat the plugin as a black box very easily. Other people dont need to understand the innards to compose the plugin with other plugins.

I'd be hard-pressed to see how you can do that with gradle.
And it was already ancient then! Sabre started operating in 1960, and traces its origins to a chance meeting of an IBM salesman and the CEO of American Airlines on a flight in 1953.
Yeah, wondering how WhatsApp would be doing if Facebook wouldn't have bought them. It might have been much better for the market if they would still be independent.
This is really the wrong time for Zuck to decide to not commit to literally any privacy request someone has.

They already have to meet GDPR in Europe, it's actually easier to not maintain two separate sets of rules, so the decision to not give people worldwide the same protections as in Europe is an intentional choice to do more work to give people less privacy.
Asymmetric crypto (RSA, curve25519, etc.) and Diffie-Hellman (including ECDH) are both in danger, thanks to Shor’s algorithm. I think the only thing remaining is large-enough quantum computers.

If I remember correctly, hashes and symmetric crypto are generally safe, and so those recommendations shouldn’t change.

I've only been using the Amazon Music for a few weeks now but I haven't encountered many bugs. It just doesn't seem overly feature rich. Although the one very annoying thing I have encountered is that my Alexa device doesn't seem to have a list of all of the possible Playlists. For a time, there was one called "Top Prime Hits". I could play it on my phone, but when I asked Alexa "Play Top Prime Hits" it couldn't find it. I now have to pair my phone, play it on my phone and set output to my Alexa. Seems to defeat the purpose of voice with Alexa.
The truth of it is is that it will probably cost them less to engage with each GDPR dispute individually than it would to comply with the letter of the law. I can't say I blame them.
I’ll take a wild guess:

* a lot of legacy kit that’s expensive and hard to upgrade

* lots of things rely on backward compatibility

* attacks are still too difficult/expensive to the point that only hushed adversaries are performing attacks

* lack of motivation from cell providers
All maven builds are exactly the same (unless they force the tool to do otherwise), and files are always in well known locations.

Having read the GDPR requirements, I don’t think that Facebook, or any other social network, can fully comply and still be a social network. Many features will be impossible to offer to people
that are subject to these requirements, such that the GDPR version of Facebook wouldn’t really even be the same service anymore. If I were starting a social network today, I’d simply block EU IPs from accessing it.
Does building a VM without a language make sense? I don't know of any successful instances of this approach.

There are lot of hairy corner cases in languages, and VMs reflect that. If you build the VM first, those design decisions may not be obvious, or might come to light a lot later.

I tried compiling Python code to the Lua VM and found that it is extremely coupled to Lua's semantics. That's even more the case with Python's VM. (for example scope rules, module systems, etc.)

I mean, I think you can target one language to the VM for sure. If you manage to fit two languages, then you're essentially writing the same language in two different syntaxes.

You're talking about TPF[1]. Many smart people and organizations have tried and failed to build something that could match it, including a company Google paid $700 million to buy. I personally know of at least 10 failed attempts :)

Not sure where "6 bit" is coming from though, and you can use gcc/c++ now, not just assembler[2]. And it's in Tulsa, Oklahoma, not Texas. Sabre's HDQ is in Texas, the data center is not. The hardware is very modern and new Z series mainframes in big loosely coupled clusters.

Amadeus, Sabre's main competition, also still has TPF at the core.

There is one notable non TPF reservation system. http://www.navitaire.com/
Last I checked, it couldn't scale well enough to handle a large airline.

Both Sabre and Amadeus are replacing TPF, but one function at a time (shopping, fare engine, booking, check in, etc). And very slowly.

[1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction_Processing_Facil...

[2]https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSB23S_1.1.0....

Fwiw, TPF is basically a huge, distributed, and transactionally consistent nosql database. Most orgs still using it have extracted most of the business logic that was in it, out to Linux boxes that front it. Not for stability reasons, but faster time to market with new features. To date, attempts to replace the high contention and high transaction rate nosql type traffic haven't scaled well enough.

Just in the US, 2.5 million people fly each day. And the processes to sell, board, etc each passenger are lots of transactions each. It's a pretty big scale. I think it's fairly close to Amazon sales per day, but with more contention and sub transactions.

All Visa credit card transactions are also still on TPF.
How are you going to handle updates and migrations of types? Something I've been thinking about in terms of dependently typed APIs is versioning and migration - but more at the code ecosystem level than in terms of running systems that can't be turned off. But there is kind of a similarity there. You can think of the ecosystem of written programs as kind of a distributed system. Would be nice to give library authors the tools to more gracefully migrate their consumers code in a type directed way, and to highlight potential problems prior to deployment, but this could equally apply in a distributed computing context.

True for so many things.
Not enough people talking about this: The fundamental challenge for Spotify is they have to make money while Apple Music doesn't.

Apple Music can run break-even as a platform feature, like the App Store was (at least in the early days). Or they could pay artists more with that margin and get more exclusives. Either way, it's a fundamental long term competitive disadvantage for Spotify.
Indeed they will set up so they can meet the letter of the law of GDPR. They just will look at the GeoIP of where the submittion was made, and rote deny if out of European jurisdiction.
But access to the firearms is the civil right you were arguing about. It's futile. Either way, as a percentage, homicides in Australia went down after the gun buyback, more than in the US, either by firearm or not.

Literally the only thing that the US did better in is "more, absolute" reduction in homicide (firearm and other).

Your initial precedent, that gun control made things relatively -worse- in Australia is only borne out by the most contorted perspective on numbers, and not anything relative or comparable between the two.

Not sure if the authors will read this or not but I beg of you, please put a table of notation in the forward. The Sutton and Barto Reinforcement Learning book did that for basically every notation that wasn't basic algebra and it's been extremely helpful.

Just labeling things I had never seen before, like indicator functions, was extremely valuable.

Especially for this kind of book that is introducing mathematics to people from a broad background - I think it's important to understand how much of an impediment not knowing notation is by sight. Trying to Google or search for notation is a nightmare.
Take it easy, I just wanted to put forth another position, that of not knowing.
it's actually easier to not maintain two separate sets of rules

The GDPR version of Facebook really can’t function as a social network - at least not the kind of social network that we would recognize today. So it may be easier to have one version, but that’s not going to happen, and it would be a disservice for the 99% of users that don’t care about privacy but do care about all of the features they are going to have to give up.
What do you mean by undo?

Languages that aren't async by default (most of them) make async tedious when you do want it. A web application is precisely the sort of thing I want async. So it's in fact an extra step to write async code in most languages when building a web app.

For example, just firing off a few requests (database, other APIs) in a route and awaiting them. JS makes this trivial.
