It's pretty typical for auto companies to shut down for ~2 weeks over the summer and in December. Ford does the same thing. It gives the companies two big windows for planned maintenance on their machinery which helps the plants run more consistently the rest of the year.
I disagree. I think the Boring Company FAQ addresses both labor and station costs fairly directly.

Labor: they want to increase automation so there are fewer workers needed, and tunnel faster so they can pay for fewer hours of work.

Stations: they do not want to make expensive subterranean stations, and instead just want small stations at the surface. People have questioned the throughput, but I think throughput appears reasonable if 1 car can leave every 0.5 minutes vs a normal station in which 10 cars leave every 5 minutes
We have our IM/BA with our devs overseas while our product team (product write cards) and business are onshore. Was pretty rough to begin but I think we have figured it out.

I HATE conference calls but daily standup infront of a cisco screen between 2 teams is pretty good.
ah yes the age old problem of actus reus sans mens rea
Considering the grenade attacks have been going on for years, I'd say they aren't handling the problems at all.
A better (more accurate) analogy than finding an open window/door is that of asking a government employee for data.

Kid: "Hi, what is the personal info in that file?"

Employee:

What they should say: "You are not authorised to see the contents of that file."

What they actually said: "Sure, here's all the information in that file."
Is it trauma, or an education in tyranny? Admittedly, it's not the kind of education I'd prefer for my children, but in the long run, nakedly tyrannical behavior is better than concealed.
And you're being the sheep who submits. What would you say otherwise?
You should've stopped yourself at "it's ageism." Surely you wouldn't have had the audacity to be like "It's racism but at this point I think black people should be kept out of office."

The problems here are the usual problems within governments: venality, vanity, laziness, posturing and a certain bureaucratic indifference to human life. Which are traits well established among young and old alike.

Age isn't what's keeping anybody from understanding the technical issues here, either. A computer isn't some kind of magical oracle that only reveals its secrets to the young. Peel back the layers and I'll bet you $100 CAD it boils down to a failure of the institutional hierarchy and the communication therein. With uninformed-electorate-flavored sprinkles on top.

Young tech nerds rarely get voted into office because very few of them have done enough living to be able to assemble a coherent vision of reality and a way forward for an entire, let's say province. Don't get me wrong, a lot of successful older politicians do a shitty job of this too. But anyway, anyone who can do all that, or fake it well enough, quickly finds that messing around with computers is below his pay grade and not worth squandering his attention on. But they will still presumably have such people in their organization somewhere, and should be able to get from them a summary of WTF's going on and why.

EDIT: I guess what I'm even further saying is that this is yet another example of what's become a mantra of mine lately: The missing ingredient is almost never tech and almost always leadership.
You pose an interesting question actually, when is data you generate, "your data"?

If the data is only associated with a browser fingerprint then I see the argument for it not being your data; it's just data. It's like saying Google Street view has your data because they took a picture of the front of your business or your house. Does it make a difference if it's your business or your house? If you move out, is it still "your data"?

Next, if they have your friend's contacts, is it "your data"? I sync my contacts with a number of services, but I've tended to think of this as "my data", not my friend's data. Is it because I grew knowing about the white pages; so assuming phone numbers are public, a collection of phone numbers to name is my making therefore of my property? Even if it's a collection of data about my friends?

Lastly, I think we'd all agree that combining your name and your browsing info would constitute "your data". Is it because there's non-public data associated with your name? Names aren't really unique, is it because the combination of your name and your browsing info IS unique?

Also, is facebook capable of doing this? If so how?

Never really thought about this before actually.
The Perl 6 Inline::Perl5 automatically maps Perl 5's syntax, object system semantics, exceptions, etc. to Perl 6's so that Perl 6 users don't in principle have to know about Perl 5, just the logical API of any used module/library/function.

I don't think the Perl 5 inlines do this.

The Blues Brothers was set and filmed in Chicago (although they did shoot a scene in Milwaukee). It showed the "L" rapid-transit system.
And it certainly doesn't mean it's not about money. Depends on the business, of course, but I've seen non-profits that pay million dollar salaries to employees and put millions in the bank as reserves. Fine with me but business is often about money; non-profit or otherwise.

> And that really is the end of the analysis.

You're being hugely disingenuous. The owner of these files set up their website, which includes deciding which files are and are not publicly accessible, and it is reasonable to expect that the files they made publicly accessible are the files they intended to be publicly accessible.

One can certainly make the counterargument that a lack of public links suggests the owner wanted them to be private, but you are pretending that there's no evidence whatsoever that the files were meant to be public, and that's plainly not true.
The ”free” market is not a sentient being.
"would have a net negative effect on its economy and its citizens' well-being"

That's how you can tell when a person has grown up in a democracy with accountability to its people and also has over generalized about the rest of the world. Both China and Russia has historically shown a preference for the state over their populace. I'm not trying to knock those two countries because the willingness to do that can sometimes give certain disadvantaged states the ability to outlast or outfight their rivals. But one shouldn't assume one's own conditions are universal. There are many other viable options outside of one's own country.
in this context i don't think your metaphor applies. your house isn't a freely accessible entity that has been declared as such which has certain areas of it that are off limits but never clearly defined as just that.
>This is a problematic attitude. It's the car dealer telling the lemon [1] buyer to "take personal responsibility" for being sold junk.

That's a flawed analogy. Paying for a car and being defrauded is in no way related to being tracked by websites. A better analogy is walking around naked and then being upset when people look at your bare ass. If you don't want people to see you naked, wear clothes. If you don't want people to track you on the internet, don't expose yourself.

>The point of government is we don't stand alone. Facebook is a menace, and I block them. But I shouldn't have to. And neither should my mother.

That's not the point of the government. Many of us don't want the government to be an all-encompassing nanny state deciding what's okay for private parties to do with public information. Its incredibly disturbing how many people not only tolerate, but openly welcome government regulation of private, interpersonal behavior. You say they should block Facebook. They have already blocked Backpage. What else do you want to give them the power to block? Where do you draw the line? Personally I think Facebook is extremely scummy. I'm not on Facebook, and I block them in every way - but I certainly don't want the government blocking them - or anyone else - on my behalf.
I'm just surprised they didn't "redact" the documents by drawing black boxes over top of text in the Adobe Acrobat PDF editing tool... If their web presence is that clueless it seems like exactly the sort of thing that would happen.

#2 is probably to jumpstart profiles, but also to have a more accurate representation of the social graph. If I sync my contacts and you show up there, and my friend syncs her/his contacts and you show up there too, assuming phone number are fairly unique identifiers, they can know that we share a mutual friend and that could contribute to their analytics.
You have a good point. They might just try to suck a lot of the money out of the businesses built on ReactOS like they do with Android. Then again, Android wasn't going to eliminate a lot of revenue from locked-in customers like ReactOS could. I say them forcing royalties is most probable outcome for now.
> Does this absolve Tesla of responsibility for using "Autopilot" for their branding of a car-based automation suite? Legally yes, but effectively no. Yes, in the sense that Tesla Autopilot does automate many repetitive driving tasks, and includes a system to warn users of when that automation may cease. No, in the sense that some people ignore warnings, conflate automation with autonomy, overtrust systems they don't understand, and often lack the skills to safely retake control even when they do.

I still think it is silly to discuss the use of te term "autopilot" as the key mistake here rather than the choice to produce cars with auto-steering functionality implemented as series automation rather than parallel.
Yeah, but if you staple a note to a telephone pole you shouldn't get angry if people copy its contents. To portray a simple web crawler "trespasser" is a poor analogy. Do you have any proof that the owner of www.zombo.com has given anyone permission to view its contents? If not, should people be persecuted if they visit the site?

Elsewhere in this thread, people have pointed out that Google has crawled (and cached) at least some of the pages that were supposedly criminally accessed.
That's fair. What's the counterpart example though? Is it Fuschia, or QNX, or similar? If so, why are they so niche? If there is an obvious better answer I'd expect more noise.
This is the definition of a monopoly from Wikipedia:

"A monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity. ... Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service, a lack of viable substitute goods, and the possibility of a high monopoly price well above the seller's marginal cost that leads to a high monopoly profit."[1]

What's your definition?

I'm a industrial engineer and have worked at 4 factories and am familiar with far more. I don't know of a single company where production employees are paid salary.

I talked with a production employee about it when starting my current job. They said "man I could never work a salaried job. I'd get so frustrated with it".

There are pros and cons to the typical US salary structure.

* If the company gets too aggressive in the expectation of hours worked, people just leave since they're not getting overtime pay.

* I also have flexibility to start/end my day when I want within reason

* I never have to take time off for doctors visits

* I don't have a micro manager for a boss, so if I work 35 hours one week and 45 the next, nobody cares.

In the US, hourly employees get at least 1.5x pay for working beyond 40 hours. It's often cheaper to pay for overtime than expand the workforce, so some companies hand out OT like candy at a parade. An employee can double their pay by working 66 hours compared to just 40.

There are often also shift differentials. They might be a couple extra dollars/hour for nights and a couple extra for weekends.

Most salaried employees are "salary exempt" and are typically not paid overtime.
I definitely find myself reading the same way occasionally. Usually it's when authors start listing things. Jules Verne's 20,000 leagues has a habit of listing types of fish, which would be fun if I had any idea what they looked like.

Ready Player One had a moment where for two full pages it was a literal comma separated list of pop culture references. It was one of many such lists although not normally so long.

The new mac book pro keyboards are really good to type on, satisfying and fast. Problem is, some keys stop working properly after a while (lookup the classic b key - stuff gets jammed in it!)

But I would still call the new MBP Apple's worst keyboard because, the arrows are totally useless. If you type emails all day -> great. If you're a developer -> rubbish (yayaya I don't do VIM).

It often seems to me that the mathematical purity of many crypto techs are a poor match for the fuzzy real world requirements. The result ends up being a big pile of abstractions with poor usability and major holes. After all this time, this still applies to basic payments for tangible goods.

They are definitely not all viewed, I've never had one of my videos viewed, and I've applied 3 times.

Ah right, my misunderstanding
Dutch ovens wouldn't be practical in many fantasy settings.

The main issue is the length of time it takes for things to cook. You've got to get a fire going for coals which takes time and also alerts potential enemies or predatory creatures. Most folks traveling around in fantasy novels aren't undertaking their journeys as pleasure tours and usually they're traveling through dangerous areas.

Likewise even for nomadic peoples who might find the time to use it, a cast-iron pot would be an extreme luxury given the weight.

So I think dutch ovens in a fantasy setting would probably serve the same purpose they often did for your family: serving foppish urban aristocrats tasty food whilst afield!

I agree that dutch ovens are capable of truly remarkable food.
Russia is sick and I hope it gets help soon, but probably won't.

As reported by one of the leaders of the opposition, ironically on the banned Telegram app (https://t.me/DmitryGudkov), the IP blocking has resulted in cash registers no longer being functional at a popular chain of stores.

This drug has completed a limited Phase II study in 2014 (71 patients), adding about 5 months of life over the control group (11 mo vs 6 mo). Then it began a large international phase III NSCLC (lung) study which apparently hasn't ended yet.

It's approved for use in Cuba and Argentina, probably only for lung cancer.
China couldn’t care about breaking AWS and therefore most of the western companies that depend on it, it would simply provide an advantage to domestic competitors. Last time I lived in China the average person didn’t use much from outside of China on a daily basis and it’s only gotten worse (back then people still used Facebook over VPNs but that has mostly gone away as far as I can tell after China started more seriously cracking down on VPNs).
You are wrong about the law here.

It might be hard to prosecute, but just because I invite you over to my house I have absolutely not granted you permission to enter any room you want.

If you, for example, went into my office and started rifling through my file cabinet that would be a huge invasion of my privacy despite the fact that I (like many people) do not have a physical lock on my office or filing cabinet.
> aside from that I see little actionable improvements being proposed here.

There were three concrete and actionable proposals at the end:

Ban all active lane keeping

Mandate Driver Monitoring Systems, to include both camera and capacitive touch

You can have it only turn on when you connect to a car bluetooth device instead of using motion detection. It also applies if you have one of those bluetooth to auxiliary adapters if you have an older car.
> a human problem.

That's the very crux of the whole "debate" over everything from Facebook to "Russiagate". The bottom line is, you can't fix stupid. We have a very serious problem with stupidity and ignorance in this country. Far too many people lack basic critical thinking skills. You can't childproof society because far too many people are easy to fool. This "problem" won't be fixed until we have a critical mass of people who can think for themselves, be skeptical and aware.
They seem either confused about what "MCU" means, or intent on changing the commonly accepted meaning.
Which is more likely: an authoritarian state backs down on censorship to avoid blocking US-based internet services, or Google / Microsoft / Amazon terminate the banned service's account to avoid losing other, more profitable customers?

Amazon supports net neutrality in America, a democracy, where debating such things has meaning. Opposing the Kremlin in Russia is meaningless. You'll just get stomped on. As long as Amazon don't directly support anything insidious in Russia, that's a fair compromise between two incompatible systems.

Do I, as a single person, have the option of buying a non-spyware version of windows 10? I paid $175 for windows 7... I'd pay $300 for a non-spyware version of windows but I don't think I can even buy solo windows 10 enterprise.

No one in this thread, or in the article, has claimed that gray matter is randomly distributed.

Regarding your comment about how incompetent I am, and how extremely strange this MRI analysis is:

Measuring cortical thickness by MRI is a standard technique in neuroanatomy since 15 years ago. And really, a quick search of the literature would have shown you this. But I suppose that's too much to ask.
At Facebook, Median Pay Tops $240,000
> Numerous exploratory business ventures

This is my original point!
relevant excerpt:

"Facebook calculated the 37-to-1 pay ratio by comparing Mr. Zuckerberg’s compensation to that of a specific individual identified as a median worker. Facebook factored in the salary, bonus or sales commission and the value of equity awards granted to that employee as of Oct. 31, 2017. Many of Facebook’s Silicon Valley peers have not yet filed their proxy statements. Twitter Inc. last week said the annual total compensation for a median employee in 2017 was $161,860."
I mean you are making a request using a uniform resource locator, and the web server is responding to that request.

Best analogy I can think up is an automated free vending machine, with a row covered up by a piece of cardboard. If you don't want someone drinking the cokes on the hidden bottom row, why did you put them in the machine in the first place?
