> the nebulous and ill-defined "disengagements" in the public CA reports.

The usual description of disengagements: "Disengage for a perception discrepancy" or "Precautionary takeover to address perception".

Except when referring to others, then its plain English: "Disengage for a recklessly behaving road user" or "Other road user behaving poorly".

It is speculation, but it is also relevant. Commercial shipping may be uniquely prone to accidents caused by profit-driven decisions, as discussed in Perrow's Normal Accidents book.

The article probably emphasises the captain's safety consciousnes to prevent people from "blaming the operator", which is an instinctual and often wrong conclusion to jump to.

The NTSB report says: Performance. The chief mate's performance evaluations were consistently positive. His evaluation from June 2015 stated that he was “passionate” about his work and “an excellent instructor for the inexperienced.”
+1 Hahaha! This made my day.
if you went to another bloated enterprise company, that wouldn't be surprising. If you went to a high-profile consulting company and had that experience, I'd be shocked.
That's a common argument, and a flawed one at that IMHO. If a bird pooped on a table, would you rub it off with your bare finger with some soap water, or would you use paper? (Granted, even this might give you the hint that dry paper isn't always the best idea.)
Very good point. I guess if we're going to use email as a substitute for Facebook we could use messages containing deletion/update directives. Clients could still of course decide to ignore them or interpret them however they wish.
Because I do not have access to raw data does not make the resulting facts any less true (see: proprietary hurricane models).

The NHTSA made a determination and I’m using it as a data point.

Does not compute... 6 times a day is not 12 times a day.
If you haven't driven a Tesla under autopilot please stop commenting about it. You really don't know what you are talking about.
You might as well stay at home then.
I felt the same way for a long time. It's like trying to train a cat to sit and stay.

You might want to check out the book, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. The free Headspace meditations are also a good lightweight introduction IMO.
You're asking why exaggerated claims which have led to deaths are distasteful?

It might be basic advertising, but that doesn't make it right nor effective. If Musk would just do what he has without all the exaggerated promises, why's that not good enough? The claims make him look worse, not better.

Denying reality is great until it comes crashing down. Just a few examples. Forgive this first title. The important part is the quote:

http://www.businessinsider.com/musk-epic-failure-2016-5?op=1

Tesla reported first-quarter earnings last week, and while they were better than Wall Street expected, the earthshaking news that emerged was that Musk is taking the carmaker in a new strategic direction.

Tesla, which delivered about 50,000 vehicles last year, is aiming to deliver 500,000 in 2018. The production target isn't new, but the timeline is. Tesla had previously said it would build half a million cars a year by 2020.

This did not happen, which led him to Tweet last July that they could deliver 20k cars per month by Dec. This did not happen either. Investors were relieved they managed to hit 2k per week this past week (this is down from the 2.5k they were targeting).

He's got a shaky attachment to the truth. I don't know if he really believes himself (this is called delusion, usually) or he's a liar. Either way it's kind of odd for a guy who doesn't need to exaggerate to be impressive. Not sure what it has to do with Nolan. He's never promised a 20 hour movie.
There's a few options:

1) Your kernel is in flash and your firmware won't update it unless it's signed. In that case the fact that there's no secure boot as such is irrelevant, because you can assert that the hardware is providing a root of trust anyway

2) Your firmware measures the kernel into something like a TPM and the TPM won't release a secret that's required to boot unless that measurement is correct. https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/35742.html describes a couple of shortcomings in that approach and how you can get around them - if you do that appropriately, there's no risk

3) Your system has some other kind of verified boot implementation (such as ChromeOS)

But otherwise yes, that's the point - defaulting lockdown to on while it's still easy for an attacker to replace the kernel may not be a great default, because it removes functionality without offering much additional security.
Keep the analytics on the device. Collect them until you have a whole bunch of data. Then send it all at once.

That way you don’t need to send UID in order to know what’s related to what and thus all data is non PII.
A 100 years ago housekeeping was a full-time job, and quality of life was generally pretty bad.

Also the society functioned differently; one middle-class salary could sustain a middle-class family, for one.

We no longer live in that reality, nor would anyone want to.

It's like saying that homeless people are OK because there were no buildings in prehistoric times.
The fact that people that frequent HN complain about something does not make it an obviously bad idea. Most of the developer complaints about the touchbar are about losing the hardware function and escape keys (which depending on how you use your laptop can be a bad trade off). Outside of that audience (and for those that code most of the time using an external keyboard) it’s actually pretty great. I say this based both on my experience for the past 18 months as well as from observing others (primarily non-developers).
and the data can be stolen by an analytics company which may use it to manipulate elections.
> I'm thinking I might be misunderstanding this part, but here's a few tips for you (...)

Thanks, I'm aware of these features. I was typing on my iPad in this small (non-resizable) comment field so was a bit short in explanation here. What I meant is that whenever I'm working inside a space, I don't want any other Space to interfere. So when I cmd+tab to an application, or click it in the dock, I want that app to open in the current Space, possibly spawning a new window.

But the inverse as well, say I have two Spaces each with a Safari window. When I cmd+tab to Safari, I want to open the most-recent used window (possibly switching Spaces), instead of opening the window on the current Space.

> Hold down the fullscreen button in the title bar of any window, you'll have the option of dragging it to the left or the right.

While a nice new feature, when working on my 27" iMac this isn't very useful to me. I usually switch between ~5 apps and having two full-screen doesn't fit my mental model. Maybe I still need to get used to it.

@lulmerchant

I'm from a poor working background too. You can look through my comment history, topics of poverty, drug abuse and macroeconomics are some of the many topics that typically interest me enough to contribute to the conversation here on Hacker News.

Your logic is absolutely sound, but in the event or period where you've taken the loan and have to pay it off in 1-2 weeks. What happens when said parents child gets sick and requires more nappies that day?

Perhaps they need medication.

Maybe they lost some cash walking to the grocery store.

They lost a days work.

There's no room for error and when or if that occurs. The entire benefit goes backwards and you end up losing so much more than you hoped to gain.

There's a whole myriad of reasons that could contribute to this loan going backwards when you have 0 disposable income.

But if you're borrowing $30 for nappies, it would not take much to then push you outside of that fortnightly budget so you are not able to meet your legal loan sharks contractual payments and that, by definition, is a financial slippery slope.

The financial industry relies on people like this, I would assume for every credit card owner that has 55 interest days free or a 0% balance transfer. There's another 9 who don't pay off in time and will incur interest charges and fees and make the entire business venture profitable.

Legal Loan sharks are profit driven, they are not providers of care, and they are not their to help you get ahead so you do not need to use their services again. Their business model is the exact opposite. They assume you will need to go back, and go back repeatedly.

You'd do well to watch Episode 2 of Dirty Money on Netflix - Payday. The entire episode is essentially a business case for why Loan Sharks should be avoided at all costs.

But the thing is, your maths is _correct_. So instead why can't we loan this person who lives in poverty from non-profits and similar who want to _help_ if it's so logically sound that allowing those in poverty to buy in bulk, will allow them to get ahead?
"Jiggle the wheel" and "have situational awareness of the road around you" are two very different things.
Triggered! I am a little shocked you found the comment so infuriating. I think the original comment proved that there is a perfectly satisfiable diaper solution that even poor Americans can easily afford. It seems reasonable that there should be innovation in the industry so that people of all income levels can be satisfied. If $1,000/year is not a burden to your family, then you should have the option to purchase a better, more convenient diaper for your child if the demand is high enough for the market to support it.

I do agree with you that it is absolutely unreasonable in this day and age for a child to go without diapers or their other basic needs fully satisfied. But I think the original comment was pointing out that there are perfectly reasonable alternatives.

Also, if you find yourself having to say "I'm not even a communist or anything," it might be time to recalibrate.
Do you accept internships?
Based on (1) my experience seeing that people in non-Tesla vehicles tend to cross late from the 85 ramp to 101, (2) the wear pattern in that photo, (3) the number of Tesla vehicles travelling that route, and (4) the numerous examples of Tesla autopilot being total shit at handling that situation from the #2 lane, I wonder how much of that paint fading is due to Tesla autopilot being completely terrible.
> So anyway, it's not just about religion.

But religion played and still plays a large role in forming these discussions because of its supposedly unique position as a "moral compass" for many cultures over the course of history.

Imho this is especially evident if you take a look cloning and stem-cell research in general. While most of the West is still busy trying to figure out how to make it compatible with Christian ideals of life, China, in their usual pragmatism, just goes ahead and does it because they don't have a comparable lobby stopping them from doing it.

In that regard, it is pretty much religion that put a stop sign there and even tho this debate is anything but new, I'm not really sure we've actually progressed at all with said debate, it rather feels like decades of stalemate.
I think the hygiene aspect is about long-term accumulation of pathogens. You bathe the baby several times a week if not daily. Then you put on a cloth that has been exposed to many pathogens over X time. But I guess boiling shouldn't take a day, since we can pasteurize milk in a very short time.

Yes, but we are only in a comment thread on HN and talking about a celebrity who can be in no possible danger from anything I am saying.

> making this assertion on a message board would be baseless speculation.

Yes, its speculation. But arent we exactly on a message board where we are speculating? Isnt this whole conversation, from the OP article itself, a game of speculation?

Why refrain from speculating about the mental health of a person?

You seem to be repeating good-natured pablum which applies, of course, when dealing with specific vulnerable people who could be affected by such speculation. In this case, certainly, it would be bad.

But we're not in that case. Its entirely reasonable to make a judgement about the mental health of other people, in the course of assessing their life.

> You're pontificating about someone's mental health despite the fact that you cannot possibly be informed about it.

Yes, like every person in this thread on every topic in this thread. Speculation isn't bad in itself. It's pretty necessary in the course of discussing a topic.

I am not diagnosing anyone. I am speculating about a diagnosis for the purpose of illustrating problems I believe Tom Cruize may have: so what?
I'm really tired of hearing the argument "we're the richest country on Earth and "X" still happens!"

Of course "X" still happens. "X" is lower on our priorities list than other more pressing issues. Are diapers really the cross we're going to die on now?

We spend ~$3tn helping people every year (federal, state, and local). I think its safe to assume the "richest country on Earth" is trying.
What I learned from Shark Tank was also how to pitch better. Getting the right amount of info in small amount of time takes a lot of practice, and some pitches were great.
I'm curious if they have data about how often users need to take over from autopilot in that area. It seems like this shitty behavior was easily reproducible, so...

You seem to have cut out the parts that make it compute. Try reading the words in-between your quotes.
People will use it but only for the necessary stuff, like birthdays and condolences. Facebook as a time wasting medium is dying. And dying spectacularly. In fact the same network effect that made Facebook what it is will work it's way in reverse order.

Then I guess I'm completely wrong and don't deserve any points XD

Somewhat annoyingly this puts me in a quandary, remove the incorrect top level post, thus the history in which the error was highlighted.
For clarity on this point, "disengagement" has a specific meaning to the California DMV[0]:

> For the purposes of this section, “disengagement” means a deactivation of the autonomous mode when a failure of the autonomous technology is detected or when the safe operation of the vehicle requires that the autonomous vehicle test driver disengage the autonomous mode and take immediate manual control of the vehicle.

However, some self-driving car manufacturers have been testing the rules quite a lot by choosing which disengagements to report[1]. Waymo reportedly "runs a simulation" to figure out whether to include the disengagement in its report, but there's no mention of what the simulation is or how it might fail in similar ways the technology inside the car did! Thus, the numbers in the reports are likely deflated from being actually every single disengagement.

Yes, it works.

11 years ago I started a personal blog where I put all I was learning, and that led to several contacts that made me start contracting as I finished my studies. The blog is now dead, but it was a continuous source of inquiries emails, and this was not about rocket science, but about some basic Web Development topics.

Without it maybe I would have never started going "solo".
Ah man, as a former straight leg grunt (meaning no plane, usually no helo or even a truck, we walk _everywhere_) anything that can take weight off is an absolute God send. We aren't blood thirsty but you would be saving a ton of knees, backs, frustration, and pain all around.
Given that all guns, and a large number of non-gun objects (such as vehicles or big rocks) can be effectively utilized to kill nontrivial numbers of people in a soft target situation: is it possible that a more effective intervention may be found somewhere in the fact that several dozen young American men/boys feel compelled to murder as many strangers as possible before commiting suicide each year?

This also seems to me, at the very least, to be a less intractable/objectionable avenue. Less media coverage would probably do more to ease this problem than the banning of some subset of firearm.

Here in Finland, some public toilets used to have a piece of wood attached to a chain in the early 1900s. Everyone carried their own puukko (a traditional Finnish knife) and could carve shavings for cleaning up.

I always knew Finnish people were rough and tough back in the day, but this gave me a whole new perspective.
OK, and all I said in my comment was that the NHTSA was asked for elaboration and proof -- because its findings seemed curious with respect to other study results -- and so far they have declined further explanation. This may be relevant information for anyone who sees you using the NHTSA's claim as a premise.
Most of us went to college and lived off poverty level income. I ate potatoes, and ramen for years with a 10/hr part time job and still managed to save enough money to go on trips.

It doesn't take much time to put together a budget and if you lack the knowledge i am sure you can find free community classes to get basic budgeting skills. I signed up to volunteer at one but they had too many volunteers.

People need to get out this learned helplessness and make effort to improve their lives.
Biggest factor to control for is drunk driving, which is ~30% of all deaths IIRC.
The OP was commenting that certain people leech and do not want to find a job and help themselves, but rather want more help from the government.

I do not see how you got that from OP. Your sentence is very loaded. You are reading this with your own filters, it seems.

What I got from OP is the government is not helping people become self reliant. Instead it is helping them financially, but also hurting them long term by impeding their ability to learn ways to lift up.
> You may already know this but you can just tap and hold on one of the brightness or volume buttons and just slide the way you want and the button morphs into a slider.

This is a nice shortcut for adjusting the volume. However compared with non-TouchBar keyboards, adjusting the volume now requires you to look at the keyboard and precisely slide your finger around on the TouchBar. Whereas on the non-TouchBar you could rely on finger memory to instantly and without disruption from looking at the keyboard adjust the volume.

Wow--how about Fox and Friends instead of Coding?

We have created a society where you can't live like our forefathers did. "Scrappy and industrious", oh he will end up scrappy, but probally won't be hired by the white boy funded by Thiel. What is it, "Just not the right fit?"

We have laws, regulations, and so much red tape.

Section 8 housing lease is 43 pages of can't/rules. (Can't open the hood in the parking lot, let alone working on it. Can't have people over. Can't start any business out of your cage. Can't--can't, and a bunch of angry ignorant people whem turn people in for the slightest offense.)

I guarantee you come from a privleged family. I looked at your karma, and you either live here, or got very lucky in life?

(I believe we could end poverty overnight if we tied fees/fines/tuition to income, and had free places where people could live when the bad times hit. Right now the poor are basically treated like inmates, or parolees. A bunch of regulations, and no real help.)
> Imagine the autopilot is 100 times safer than human drivers. Full implementation would mean about a fatality a day in the US. It does not seem this would be acceptable by the public even though 30,000 annual human car fatalities could be avoided.

Your opinion will be irrelevant--the insurance companies get the final say. When that safety point arrives, your insurance rates will change to make manual driving unaffordable.
Some of us whose time is worth a lot per hour may not want to give it to everyone else, because some of us did have to do special things and work very hard to get it. I see very little daylight each day, get very little exercise, and so on because I'm trying to provide for my family. For my sacrifices in many other areas, my time has become valuable.

If you feel guilty about earning money easily, feel free to give it away. Personally, after already high taxes (40%+ not counting sales tax) I feel that I would like to give what's left to my own family rather than involuntarily donating it to random people.

Are YOU going to send my kids to college? Buy them cars? A house?

It's easy for some who may feel they have enough, or "got theirs" to say that people who "earn a lot" (aka still climbing the ladder) need to give more.

Nobody is preventing you from donating your money to a nonprofit.
