I don’t disagree at all on the PR side. Spent sometime in the contact center tools space and my general experience is if a company allows it exempt higher level employees avoid engaging with customer service directly at pretty much all costs.

Not saying it happened here but thats how you get $10/hour vendors making judgement calls on customer situations that are front page news.

In one of the major announcements for Chrome, 'Moving towards a more secure web' (2016-09-08) [1], the Chrome Security Team writes:

"Chrome currently indicates HTTP connections with a neutral indicator. This doesn't reflect the true lack of security for HTTP connections. When you load a website over HTTP, someone else on the network can look at or modify the site before it gets to you."

The word 'modify' is a hyperlink to an article titled 'AT&T Hotspots: Now with Advertising Injection' [2] (ironically, a non-HTTPS site).

I don't think I'm misinterpreting, just disagreeing about the level of caution. One point is that humans are quite good at immediately recognizing objects and evaluating threat level (at least when attentive). So a human is rarely in a scenario of "there's something up ahead I have no idea what it is or where it's going." But if they were, I don't think it's at all ridiculous to slow down until determining those things. If software is in that scenario, I absolutely expect it to slow down until it can determine with high confidence that no object ahead is a likely threat. (edit) For instance, an attitude like "in my training data, unidentified objects rarely wander into the road" is not good enough for me, I want to hold software (and humans) to a much safer standard.

Actually what you show is that there is a clear rule. First, the symbol is treated as a function. If it is not in the function space, then it is used as a variable name. To make a finer distinction awk would need some form of local variable declaration, which it clearly hasn't.

> tl;dr: The 80% best practices parity between ReasonML and modern functional javascript which the "What & Why" page of official documentation [3] talks about, does not exactly hold true for F#.

The bulk of F# is functions acting on values modeled by types. This maps directly to JS. In the F# and .NET compatibility document[0], you'll note that all "core F#" components map directly to JS. And of course, you can consume JS libraries, TS definition files, etc. For example:

"The following F# semantic and syntactic features are also available:

* Records and Unions

* Structural Equality/Comparison

* Comprehensions (seq, array, list)

* Computation Expressions

* Pattern Matching

* Active Patterns

* Object Expressions

* Units of measure"

Do you have specific examples where F# semantics cannot map to JS such that the "80% rule" also does not hold?

There is absolutely no reason to believe they are not conspiring with the NSA. They have a huge deal with the CIA, plausible some of these funds are for surveillance capabilities. They would not (and likely would be legally prohibited from) disclosing any relationship they have.

The system also decided it should have applied the emergency brakes, but then didn't. I don't think this system is safer than alternatives.

There are lots of Talos/Raptor product announcements and similar here. Sometimes product announcements are also news, because they tell you something about the market in general, rather than just the company making the announcement. The first thing Dave Ditzel says in this interview is that he believes RISC-V in general has general potential, before anything specific to his product. His next sentence after mentioning his own product is again to say that they will be one of "the many companies building new chips for this RISC-V ecosystem".
Highly Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance

The concept of Byzantine Fault Tolerance is a crucial one. It means that it is mathematically guaranteed that all parts of the Network will come to the same agreement at a certain point in time. Exactly what PARSEC achieves.

This is very different to any blockchain-based consensus mechanism. With blockchains, the probability that the consensus cannot be reversed increases with every additional block that is added to the blockchain — but crucially, it never reaches 100% certainty. Put simply, this is down to the way in which blocks are added in blockchain technology and not something that will change in the future. With PARSEC, consensus is mathematically guaranteed as certain (as well as having a throughput that dwarves blockchain tech). And this is a huge thing.

What’s more, PARSEC is highly asynchronous. This means that there is no trusted setup nor any synchronous steps involved, as might be required in common coin implementations or threshold signature schemes. In other words, any consensus mechanism has to be able to work perfectly, even when different events on the Network are reaching nodes at wildly different times and allowing for the fact that nodes may suffer technical issues around the world or the Network could be attacked.

Speaking for myself, I have my iPhone set so that I have to authenticate then hold down the physical home button before Siri will start listening to me. Home assistant devices are listening all the time.

The reason this matters is well-illustrated by the linked story here--the potential consequences of bugs are more severe when the mic is always on.

The way I have Siri configured, the opportunity to make mistakes about what I mean is limited to when I am intending to speak directly to Siri. It's not that often, and I am aware of what I'm doing.

But if Alexa is going to make a mistake about a trigger word and start transmitting data... well, that potentially could happen whenever I'm in voice range.

Sure, if some three letter agency is targeting me, a smartphone is probably no safer than a home assistant. But I'm not concerned about that level of targeting, for myself.

Your solution is simple. However, it doesn't allow for as much modification as the original poster's idea. With his idea it could be modified in so many ways to add functionality because it wouldn't be limited by the technology. The solution you supplied will eventually be limited by the technology if the original poster wants to add other functions.

> more fun to play with

I think this is a dangerous, irritating mythology that programmers permit to their detriment. Skipping work entirely to go play pool or watch a movie is "fun". Evaluating a new technology stack to see if it fits business needs (present or future) might be _intellectually stimulating_, but deriding it as "fun" - and allowing management to write it off as time-wasting - hurts everybody. This isn't "fun", it's research, just the same as particle physics experiments are, and it's a big part of what we went to college to learn to do effectively.
Now is the time to test this. From my early experiments, you can expect to get speedups for queries that last longer than a few seconds. A lot depends on whether I/O, caching, etc. dominates. The only disadvantage is that it takes time to do the JIT compilation, so if the query is already fast, JIT compilation will probably make it slower. Hence, there are ways to adjust when it should be used.

Not everyone has a greenfield project the fact that it integrates with JavaScript seamlessly and generates readable JavaScript is an advantage. They go as far as providing a plug-in for the standard JavaScript build flow, so you can basically start by just converting one file. On the other hand ocaml’s package manager (opam) and build system (jbuilder) are much better than elms equivalent and nothing is stopping you from using those for a greenfield project.
TXR Lisp provides a Lisp-ified awk in a macro:

http://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-000264BC

> "Unlike Awk, the awk macro is a robust, self-contained language feature which can be used anywhere where a TXR Lisp expression is called for, cleanly nests with itself and can produce a return value when done. By contrast, a function in the Awk language, or an action body, cannot instantiate an local Awk processing machine. "

The manual contains a translation of all of the Awk examples from the POSIX standard:

http://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-03D16283

The (-> name form ...) syntax above is scoped to the surrounding awk macro. Like in Awk, the redirection is identified by string. If multiple such expressions appear with the same name, they denote the same stream (within the lexical scope of the awk macro instance to which they belong). These are implicitly kept in a hash table. When the macro terminates (normally or via non-local jump like an exception), these streams are all closed.

Eliyahu (I only realized the typo because I have it sitting right here). I've read The Phoenix Project which is an IT/software/devops analog of it (covering the same topics, but for those fields rather than manufacturing as the focus). I really liked it (the writing was average, but it was a great way to introduce the concepts), and stumbled across this in our (undocumented, no one knows what books are there) office library. I've read the first 1/4 and I'm going to put it on my manager's desk once I'm done.

For those curious what this book (and the one I mentioned) is about: Theory of constraints. But it's not just that. It goes through, in the form of a novel, the experience of a plant manager (VP of IT or something in Phoenix Project) as they go from clusterf--k mess towards a leaner, tighter, functioning plant.

An important lesson to take away (besides ToC itself) is that you have to make that lean enterprise the target. You cannot just, from day 0 of your clean up, rearrange everything and expect positive results. It's a growth process, a process of continuous improvement. If you have any role in project management, and have any desire to clean up how your office or enterprise functions, these are really good books to help along the way.
You mean like the very visible colored LED ring that already exists on the devices? Though I suspect that most people keep their devices tucked away in a corner where they are hard to see -- but that's not amazon's fault -- few people would want the devices if they had a bright flashing strobe light visible anywhere the room.

A confirmation after every request makes the device a lot less useful, I suspect most people do not want the device to confirm commands before it does them.
It would certainly be a good alternative to suicide
I am oversimplifying here but:

* install device that is designed to listen to speech in the house

* the device is connected to internet

* the device is capable of contacting other internet peers/services/hosts

* the device knows a bit about its owner's internet presence such as contacts

* the device is equipped with simple conversational user interface based on fuzzy human speech-command detection

These basically bound the failure modes of the complete system. I am not surprised that a glitch like that happened. I can certainly attest to how shocking it might be to discover first hand that it really did happen, but given the context I can't say it's hard to not foresee something like this.
They should have set it to slow down gradually when approached from an angle at T-6 and then speed up once past the intersection risk, so that when the scenario emerged at T-1.6 it could emergency stop safely.
I've always wished for this in every communication medium.

Charging someone for calling you would also block them permanently, so almost no one is going to do this to their friends just to mess with them. There should be no appeal: if someone wants to charge every caller, that's totally fine. People will stop calling them pretty fast. Likewise I would let the callee choose the charity, or even keep the money. All that matters is that if you are calling someone who wants your calls you won't be charged, and if you aren't, you should be. If you aren't sure, you pay your money and take your chances that you are in fact imposing on someone else.

I can't see how this would hurt anyone of any socio economic level other than spammers. If you are calling someone who doesn't want your calls, you are a spammer.

> ... and this is a close second favorite. Having NOT NULL constraints on columns makes schemas much more pleasant to work with, but for schema migrations that means requiring DEFAULT clause to populate existing data. While there are ways to slowly migrate to a NOT NULL / DEFAULT config for a new column (e.g. add column without constraint, migrate data piecemeal, likely in batches of N records, then enable constraint), having it for free in core without rewriting the table at all is simply awesome.

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that's what it says. If you create a nullable column with a non-null default it won't rewrite the whole table anymore. You could get this behaviour in PostgreSQL 10 by creating the column and setting its default in separate DDL statements (all in a single transaction).
