I think they chose their axis range to make the differences starker than they are. Their graph doesn’t include a value for the highest probabilities, for instance. I’m all for zooming a graph to maximize information content, but a range of 5-8% doesn’t present a clear heuristic tie to any widely known phenomenon. A range of 5-10% would have the benefit of being easier to tie to 1/20 to 1/10 odds.

Optimizing for the test, in a way that does not necessarily have any relevance for real-world performance, is much more of a possibility for software than it is for physical things. This is because of the fractal/chaotic nature of software: small differences can result in wildly different outcomes.

NHTSA testing has been developed over a long time, and in conjunction with studying both real-world and laboratory crashes, so I imagine they are quite realistic and representative. The one way that they equivocate the tests that I am aware of is to divide vehicles into weight classes, but this would be difficult to take advantage of.
How does it remove choice, other than perhaps by discouraging local restaurants from opening too close to the Google campus?

I can afford it, the problem is that most halfway decent and interesting places are a good 30 minutes walk away. If I want a nice lunch it effectively means taking a 90 minute lunch break. I'd love nothing more than to have good food available in my office building, free vs paid is really a secondary concern.
The story already opens with an unarmed man in the shower in his own home being repeatedly tased.

If your problem is you're punching people in the head too often, the solution isn't to wear soft gloves, it's to stop punching people.

How to achieve that is still a matter of debate.
This is flawed reasoning.

Think of the original Focus's crumple zone as a spring that can deflect until it hits the rigid engine. Remove the engine for the electric model and the spring is free to deflect further. Increased deflection results in more energy absorption. You also get increased time during which the impact is spread out, reducing maximum acceleration.

If your original thinking is that the engine acts as dead weight to absorb momentum, which is now located in other areas of the car in the electric version, this is likely a smaller effect than the increased energy absorption and impact duration.

I wish I could find a trustworthy comparison of the safety ratings of the two models, but it looks like the two cars' ratings are considered identical most places I look. Not sure if that is actually true.
The one you mention is not misleading: they put the Y values everywhere in the chart.

The other one is starting at 5% and ending at 8%. While a full range 0-100% would bury the relevant data, a picture with 0-10% would tell a different story.

DOD transferred two "obsolete" KH-11 spy satellites (which are pretty much evolved Hubbles) to NASA in 2012. They've been in storage since. So the scope for a "new build Hubble" is putting instruments on those sats, launching them, and supporting the ongoing mission. That's still substantial, but much less than a new build from scratch.

Our app is >60kloc of typescript/react, we target android,ios,macos,win32 sharing >85% of the same source code with react native and react web, many abstractions, a lot of local storage and sync with remote server, and so on. Not a small app. Still, we don't use redux, just good ol' publish and subcribe with appropriate separation of concern.
My point is there are many ways to manage an app state, redux is one of them, and people can't get to understand how there are many other possible software architectures that provide maintability and scalabity of the source code, and yet does not involve what is seen as the all-incompassing pattern/tool called flux/redux.
We're still feeling out the market here, to see where we can take it. It will probably stay free for personal use and then grow from there with services like hosting, etc. Pricing model for businesses is something we're looking at from case to case currently.

> Hard part is he's probably justifying to himself that he has been "censored" and that "the truth hurts".

Of course he is, but also with whatever pseudo agenda driven 'science' he's been reading to confirm his bias, which focus on stoking racial tensions whilst ignoring any socioeconomic factors that come into the mix.

I feel bad for these people but there isn't anything you can really do. He doesn't want to discuss this in good faith, so the only appropriate response is to flag and ban them. Making other people expend the time and effort to point out that he's spewing crap for him to then ignore it and double down on his views seems like a pointless exercise.

I absolutely think that in real life you should have these discussions because people are more open to talking, but is it worth the time for some troll spewing racist 'facts that everyone knows deep down'?
There is a physical limitation, because of the deceleration tolerated by the human body has an upper limit if you want people to survive.
I think that point in the original article isnt 100% accurate.

The ‘People Nearby’ feature can be turned off in the settings, but you also have to click into it to use it - it’s by no means automatic (ie. you sign into Wechat and suddenly it start getting random harassing messages). Your visibility expires after a few minutes.

It’s never been used as a feature to add a contact - in China is was mostly used for hookups in the early days, and now if you’re in a big city it’s mostly prostitutes and/or people trying to sell products.

Chinese women using that feature would absolutely have received ‘stalking’ messages, but that’s basically the same as women receive on any kind of dating or hookup app.

The only difference I can see (speculating somewhat about Indian users) is that Chinese users have always seemed quite happy to use an app for their work/business/friends/school that also includes basically sex-on-demand type features. I know whenever criticisms of Wechat are brought up in the West, a lot of people focus on the fact that how could you recommend this app to your dad or gran or kids, knowing that it has this weird dark and nefarious corner in it.

So I dont think it’s fair to say India has a stalking problem based on this - more like, Wechat has a weird feature that enables potential sexual harassment that Chinese users don’t seem to care about.

If the only reason you like something is because you like it, fair enough, good for you, you like a thing. Its ok to like things, but that doesn't mean there is any solid logic backing the things you like.

It's not the only group that has been accused of being a political police. I've heard that a member of my family had to leave France because of the French equivalent of Secret Service was after him, during the Mitterand presidency. He spent a few years abroad then was surrendered by a South American country. As far as I've heard, he was on the run because of inter-service rivalry, since he has done work for the DGSE.

10x easier to just drive through the border or get a work visa than to apply for the asylum.
Ha! I spent about a year in Chicago a few years back and got the full winter experience. I actually like the cold and snow, so I wasn't bothered too much. I was the digital nomad who went to Lithuania in November and December and somehow it didn't occur to me that I was setting myself up for endless twilight (and ended up really enjoying it anyway).

That's definitely something to consider though if you need the sun. I found that having access to the train makes it way easier to get around in the snow compared to having to drive everywhere, but YMMV for sure.
> I’m aware of the safety benefits inherent in the skateboard-battery chassis design but that doesn’t account for all of the safety accolades they’ve received. Why aren’t the other automakers doing as well in the NHTSA tests as Tesla?

Factor #1 is the battery. It's far and above the biggest safety feature. Factor #2 is that nobody else makes electric cars as big as Tesla. The Model 3 is 9" longer than a Leaf and a full 21" longer than a Bolt. That means WAY more crumple zone -the crumple zone is the first thing to go in a small car, making room for legs- and that's the biggest safety difference between cars.

I think you're also underestimating the impact of the battery. The center of mass makes it practically impossible to roll, a huge source of injuries and deaths. It's also incredibly resistant to pole and many vehicle intrusions, since those happen either on or just above the battery, which is extremely strong compared to normal cars.

The battery also lets almost the entire front and back of a Tesla be used as a crumple zone. Nobody else is really doing this. The Bolt has the second best battery among EVs for sale currently, and it's still shaped and positioned pretty much like a gas tank. It blocks a lot of crumple zone. The engine in any normal car is totally incompressible and massively limits the crumpling- worse, the higher end, larger cars will still have correspondingly larger engines, limiting safety. They might have a foot or two of crumple distance, while the entire hood of a Tesla can absorb impact. Even the motor can snap up and back if needed.

In a Tesla, you automatically combine 3x the shock absorption with an extremely strong safety cell and the strongest anti-rollover feature of any car. It's zero surprise they do incredibly well in crash tests.

Synthetic training data. Sometimes it's cheaper / safer / easier to work with simulated data rather than real world sensor data. For some types of machine learning, a simulation is "real enough".

Someone asked me to build a startup doing the same. His most convincing use case was training camera systems to detect people falling overboard on cruise ships, etc. It's impractical / dangerous to use real world camera data for that.

There are other advantages, e.g., being able to generate simulations where everything is already labeled.
Ars Technica Interview with an Ultima Online Addict (1999)
WeChat seems to have never tried very hard to adapt their app for international users.

The English interface is reasonably well-tested (many of my Chinese friends use it to practice their English), but other languages might cause overflowing UI elements because the translated text is longer than accounted for.

That problem also affects the English version in some places e.g. when adding a contact, the short introduction you can write to explain who you are and why you're adding them has a length limit. It's probably enough for Chinese text, but requires being very concise when using English.

Many features are designed to prevent virality. Comments on a friend's timeline ("moments") are only visible to your shared friends. Small chat groups can be bootstrapped by scanning a QR code or by typing a shared passcode simultaneously, but beyond 100 users newcomers need to be invited by a member first. Comments on public articles are hand-picked by the author and only the author can reply directly. There used to be a feature displaying trending articles, but it seems to have been removed.

Those limitations prevent regime-critical opinions from spreading too quickly, but they also mean that only users with a large social circle on WeChat are going to stick with the app.

The article mentions women being harassed via the "people nearby" feature. My impression is that it is mostly used by men looking for hookups and by "women" who are prostitutes or pretend to be prostitutes to scam those men.

Successfully entering a market without already-strong ties to China would have required making large changes about the way their app works.
I lived in Lyon almost all my life and I wouldn't call it a student city. It's pretty boring.
It's not only about it being too big. I'd also question what it's doing and why does it need all that space if it is just a texting app. The answer of course is that it aims to be so much more, but couple that with it being from China and it's probably a given that it's doing some spying.

> the SpaceX Dragon capsule doesn't have an airlock

Neither did the Apollo moon landers, or the Gemini missions where NASA first tested spacewalks. Instead they just depressurized the whole cabin, making it into one big airlock. Presumably this would work for the Dragon as well.
You're right, I've listed various European tax havens and made a blank statement which is true only for some of those. I don't claim to know intricate details of each of those, but even as an relative outsider these things are not exactly top secret. It was and most probably still is true for Monaco for example.

If you come as an outsider to Suisse, private banks/tax companies will either refer you to their branch in place where this applies to you, or if your net worth is high enough (can't remember exact threshold but it should be in 5 mil CHF ballpark and above), you can literally buy citizenship and you're covered (ideally in Zug/Luzern as one can witness in local property market there but it always depends on the case).

These are very baffling claims that lack any relation to reality. The US constitution defines the branches of government according to the principles of seperation of powers.

The constitution also defines the process of changing the constitution itself (article V), and it does not include a way for Mr Trump or his party to do that as they do not have the required two thirds majority in both houses or in state legislatures.

Importantly, there isn't even a way for him to whip up emotions in a referendum in order to change the constitution.

The judiciary is not controlled by any party at all. Supreme court judges are appointed for life to prevent arbitrary interventions by other branches of government.

And in practical terms, did you really get the impression that Trump has unwavering support even just among the legislators of his own party? Did you get the impression that the FBI acts on Trump's say so? How about the courts?

No, what I'm seeing is a wannabe autocrat who is kept in check by an extremely robust set of institutions, constitutional arrangements and by a lot of principled individuals inside those institutions.

I don't see Xi, Erdogan or Putin getting investigated by their own police or courts, having to fear impeachment or face the sort of (well deserved) journalistic onslaught that Trump has had to face.

One more thing is the reason why the neighbor called the cops. Oh no, a naked man! Babbling nonsense! Help, I'm victimized, someone help!

The article doesn't say that the neighbour felt victimised.

If I had a mentally ill neighbour that started walking around naked and talking about the devil, I'd call the police too. They are probably trained in first aid or CPR and methods to de-escalate any situations. It's a reasonable way to get help in a situation you may not be trained to deal with.

Except in America.
You are so right for the thread-safety, immutability is a major improvements. However, I am pretty sure OP was referring to immutability in javascript, which is single-thread by design, and yet many javascript developers use immutability like a no-brainer and is seen as best-practice to the point where people don't even remember what it solves. Just that it must be used.

Trump isn't imprisoning 10s of thousands by edict yet, is he?

>"[...] 134,000 people in Turkey have been sacked, including 7,300 academics and 4,300 judge and prosecutors in the nine months since the failed coup in which there is little evidence that any of them knew anything about or were otherwise involved. Some 231 journalists are in jail and 149 media outlets have been shut down, while 95,500 people have been detained and 47,600 arrested under emergency laws."

"Trying to guess the format of arbitrary pasted values is nuts, and I don't know how it has persisted for so long."

The answer to this question, and a number of other people's similar questions in this thread, is the sheer overwhelming quantity of people who would complain if this behavior was changed, ranging from mumbling to serious threats to not buy the software if it isn't changed back made to Microsoft's CEO.

The problem is that the belief-set that says this is a crazy thing to do is a very programmer-y one. Being a programmer myself, I fully agree. But there's a lot of people who not only won't understand any proposed solution, but won't even agree that what you're describing is a problem. To many people, it sounds like a feature, and they will tell you they use it all the time, and they will tell you it has never seriously bitten them. In the latter case, for a rather large set of people, it'll be true... of course there will be a decidedly non-trivial set of people as well whom it has bitten, but they just don't know it. But note those people will still be in the set of people who will claim taking the "feature" away is something they would hate, precisely because they don't know it has bitten them!

And even if you do convince them there's a problem, they'll probably still disappoint you by continuing to resist the idea of forcing them to be clear about the type of data they're entering, and "solve" the problem by adding yet more layers of guessing, such as askvictor's suggestion.

It's really, really hard to create a tool that can successfully force users to think more clearly than they already are, and if you do pull it off, users probably won't like it and stop using and buying it.
