> I disagree; there are ongoing, successful efforts to make driving, walking down the street (see Vision Zero for example), and many more activities safer. We haven't accepted the risk levels at all.

But the existence of awareness campaigns proves the point: Someone has to connect the dots on the statistics and then advocate to get people to care. Nobody needs to advocate for more coverage of spacefaring fatalities.
Yea he has the AP2, thanks I forgot what it was called. Sadly that is the kind of thing I'd expect and it completely understandably takes away from the value of their products.

They're doing this with WhatsApp, too.

WhatsApp is a dead-end at this point anyway, as they plan on removing end-to-end encryption. That's why both of WhatsApp's founders and many other employees have started leaving the company.

That's an interesting question. There's a lot more time spent slipping the clutch getting the car started, but there are higher RPMs and more power being transmitted through the partially-engaged flywheel and clutch during some of the other shifts. But yes, intuitively, it definitely feels like starting the car is when most of that wear happens, and if I had to bet I would bet that's right, at least during everyday driving.

It's common knowledge that article titles suck and are rarely ever more than somewhat accurate with regards to an article's contents. It's not the job of the title creator to be 100% accurate. It's their job to do whatever it was they did to make the person who submitted this to HN, do that thing. It worked. We should take a moment to internalize how we can use that knowledge and then move on.

To emphasize, it's not important and we should be the group extracting this sort of meta knowledge of how the world around us works, not missing the point entirely and complaining about it on the net. I don't think the "hacker mantra" is to be nitpicky and myopic.

Different types of insurance price comprehensive in radically different ways. I was considering getting classic car insurance from a different company than my regular insurance. They heavily penalize you if you park in the city, and especially without an individual locked garage. That kind of makes sense, but my regular insurance penalizes you if you park somewhere other than you live, even if it's in a low-crime suburb and not exposed. They are fine with parking in the middle of the city. So the optimal strategy depends on which insurance you go with because they have very different prejudices.

Another example is Unity. Despite some of its own shortcomings, the developers made a very open plugin system, and fantastic tools have been developed and integrated into the Unity IDE that fix some of these problems and give it huge amounts of power: ProBuilder (the in-IDE mesh editor) and TextMeshPro (the font dynamic texture system) being two great examples.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t it true that we don’t know what elementary particles are made of?

After 3 decades of once or twice-a-year back injuries (that took a few weeks to heal), in 2015 it didn't ever get better.

MRI revealed bulging discs and herniation causing sciatica (which was a first) which varied from a mild, deep butt-muscle pain; to extreme, radiating all the way down to my ankle and sometimes my right testicle.

NSAID anti-inflamatory drugs didn't do much. I was very lucky to find a Physical Therapist who was said to be "good with backs."

After a few sessions we found a combination of stretches and exercises that provided relief.

Basically, my sciatic nerve was being impinged as it passed between vertebra as it exits my spinal column. The stretches were some specific rotations of upper body relative to lower body, which pretty quickly provided relief any time I needed it.

Then some core strengthening which took a lot longer.

Most important is to prevent re-injury through learning how to lift the right way (or actually more important - how to lift the wrong way so you know not to do it again).

I've spoken with plenty of people who've had surgical repairs. Some worked. Many of them didn't, and those people encouraged me to try every possible thing under the sun before considering surgery. I was prepared to pray, swim, stretch, exercise, acupuncture, yoga, learn ballet, become vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, Santeria, voodoo - just about anything.

I got lucky.

Some physicists will do this (in part). I, also, have seen various papers that look at the basic assumptions. What I am saying is that on the whole, physicists don't do this. The impression comes from seeing the lack of diversity of funding, the standard way of discouraging investigation into looking at assumptions, the ad hominem attacks by various segments and actually communicating with various scientists in various fields about their subject matter.

Popular science articles, well, there's another problem.

I suppose what I am saying here is that scientists of all stripes (including physicists) are human and have all the same human fallibilities of politics, anger management, distrust, hatred, cowardice, hero worship, arrogance, hypocrisy and back biting, to name but a few, that occurs in all human environments.

When I first got my S, if you left the windshield wipers on the automatic setting, and it had rained in the recent past, when you unlocked the car and opened the door, the wipers would activate once and throw water on you.

Mercedes, which uses the same wiper system, had the same bug.

The difference is that Mercedes never fixed those cars. Tesla did.

So yes, there are issues. But it's not a straight win for either Tesla or non-Tesla. It's just different.
> More importantly is when lateral grip finally breaks there is no warning to the driver with a cocked wheel and gentle progression: it just lets go.

> As a counter-example Mazda have always engineered some body-roll into the Miata / MX-5 so that it's fun and communicative in corners.

I daily drive an MX-5 and the body roll drives me nuts. If you ever drive a modded Miata or an S2000/BRZ or a Porsche Cayman it'll be very apparent how their lack of body roll gives superior driving dynamics while still being very compliant. Not saying Miata is a boat, but it's overly wallow-y for a car of that size.
I was told that the biggest risk factors were alcohol, some kinds of medication and obesity when we got our first child. The official recommendation is to have the baby in their own bed.

Google API Auth/Access is extremely tedious, so I guess someone just didn't bother. Basically you have to get an token, format it, make a couple of http posts, and finally you will have a token to make an access-token-token ... Now image all the steps you would have to make to create a new type of access to some internal API, that should not have public access anyway. Probably saved six months work. And the libraries are probably hiding all the obscurity so no-one did notice until this guy started digging.
JS syntax is a lot nicer these days but that's always been relatively easy. Where web dev is hard, and will always remain hard, is the concept of writing stateless applications. Building something that might seem easy to you, such as a form with server-side validation, is very different to building a desktop app. When you write desktop apps you don't rebuild the entire UI for every update. You don't have to reload the user's entire state on every call. Those things are weird if you're not used to it.

It's perfectly reasonable for a developer to say they find it hard.

And, arguably, it could be part of the reason why frameworks like React are so popular - they make writing for the web a little more like writing a desktop app, because components can have persistent state.

You'd be surprised. In Mountain View, everyone level 6 or above makes at least that amount, and most level 5s probably do as well. I'd guess that probably 20% of engineers are T5 or above, which is a ton of people when you multiply by tens of thousands of engineers.

> How would you (or a company like Zerodium) differentiate between a "one off" RCE exploit vs. the kind they would pay out for?

In the GAE case, Google can patch all deployments of their service on the same day, which is an "instantaneous fix".

If it were an RCE with a webserver, OS or some other popular software, that can't be patched "instantaneously" "worldwide". Each entity who maintains their own (i.e. nginx, Drupal, Redis, etc.) instance needs to be alerted to the patch and then apply it. That's an incredibly long tail.
Pile load of propaganda. «Burn Baby Burn»
What I find really interesting here is how badly “move fast and break things works in other industries”.

Balwani’s outlandish behavior aside, a lot of this stuff doesn’t seem all that bad, if this weren’t a medical product. Raising money for a product you’re not sure will work out, tinkering with what a competitor has done and seeing what you can borrow, launching without a credible fallback and just hoping for the best.

I think I’ve done all of these things, but for software that doesn’t put peoples lives on the line.
Some of the best practices regarding it that I've heard (and found to work very well in the projects I used them):

- You show the user a internal 5 star rating UI. If they rate anything below 5 you don't forward them to the App store for adding a review. Works well with 3 buttons: "Rate", "Late", "Don't show again"

- Best time to show it to the user for the first time is when they completed the first "major action" in the app. For e.g. a shopping app that would be completing their first order, or for Airbnb booking your first room

- After that you show it to the user every ~5th time they open the app until they rated it or click "Don't show again"

Interestingly, we're at a transition point at the moment. A law was passed last year that changes it to opt-out. However, it still has to come into effect. Additionally, they're currently in the process of abolishing a law that allows citizens to initiate referendums, but it is currently looking like a referendum about the law changing it to opt-out is still going to make it in time to be held before it is abolished. In other words, the change to opt-out might still be put on hold before it comes into effect.

Good advice for Android. For iOS, Apple actually decides when to show the user the UI. That being said, you should probably only attempt to prompt when you believe the user has had a good experience.
> At heart, both were engineers for whom patient care was an abstract concept. If their tinkering turned out to have adverse consequences, they weren’t the ones who would be held personally responsible.

That seems to be at the heart of the issue for me. It is not only the structuring of (financial) on a macro (economy) and micro (Theranos) level that puts profits over the health of patients. It is also the lack of both any liability for the people "just following orders" and the lack of any legal and moral education as part of the engineer training at uni

Is this the first discovery of color for dinosaurs?
this is relatively useful,

but FreeNAS is about '20 minutes'* away from trying to implement a GUI package/plugin manager with IOCAGE for this very task so that they can set-and-forget the process and have it scripted into a launch command that is self-healing in case of failures.

'20 minutes' being 'maybe this year' in terms of delivery.

as for the guide, it's perhaps better to integrate the FreeNAS resource page from their forums, since this is becoming the defacto standard in the interim,
https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/fn11-1-jails-...

While it might not be the most practical guide for non-media use, it will get you past the basics of implementation and problem-solving,

especially the concept of putting iocage settings inside of a zpool dataset where it can be snapshot for backups, the issue of iocage not handling spaces inside datasets, without being escaped, and the networking glitch introduced in FN11.1 that can prevent IPv6/IPv4 addressing working as intended (that should be fixed by now ?)

to an extent, this is top-down, people will get their feet wet and learn, or not need to learn iocage.

or how to script pkg updates across the iocage 'fleet' etc.
Not specific to the 172, but a sizeable part of the training when getting your license is about what do when the engine stops (gliding, finding a suitable field/road/etc.) - and if you fly long enough there's a fairly good chance you'll have to put what you learned into practise.
