What about the client of a self driving cab. Are they operating the cab when they tell it to go home?

What about a rental vehicle?

What about a vehicle you borrowed from someone?

I really don't see why the manufacturers would not be the ones to be liable, and totally agree that none of the people in the vehicles should be liable, even better: they should be able to sue the manufacturer too since they were made part of the accident.
Two things
a) I dont think this is competing with Amazon infrastructure. Outside of Amazon, this is a very large industry and very broken which needs to be fixed.

b) I agree with you 7M is not going to be enough to fix this industry; its complex and moves physical things (way harder than moving bits) but you gotta start somewhere.

That's... disturbing, and all the more reason to keep your work and private life strongly isolated. Suppose outside of work you write scripts for various things and distribute them online to friends and so forth, or blog posts, etc. Your employer should never be able to claim ownership of that.
I don't trust them either, but I muuuuch prefer this practice over the old "admin:admin" standard. Someone going through the trouble of cracking a Pseudo-Random Number Generator, even if that's a weakness, is a heck of a lot more effort than typing the model number into Google along with "default password" and clicking the first result.

>"Seventeen individual sources, including government officials and insiders at the companies, confirmed the manipulation of hardware and other elements of the attacks."

Is it possible that many of these sources received their information from others on that list of 17, propagating imperfect or inaccurate information? I'd assume it's standard practice for journalists to confirm that multiple sources aren't essentially from the same source, but this doesn't look great.
I think composability especially is the key point. With futures (and async/await sugar on top), everything is naturally composable. It's much trickier with channels.

That specific example points to the root cause of most English pronunciation weirdness - an insistence on preserving original spelling for loanwords even if they come from languages with very different orthography. "Rogue" and "chef" are both French loanwords that English still spells as if they were French, not to mention all the Latin loanwords that still give middle-schoolers endless pain.

It's not so much signing away your rights as getting something in exchange for something. As you say, you can always fork the project, but very often large projects (that tend to be the ones with CLAs) are also used by companies that rely on them. What you get in exchange for the CLA is your code (written to scratch your itch) becoming part of the mainline, and saving you the trouble of merging with every update. If scratching your own itch is the goal, and if your contribution is small relative to the total project (and it often is for projects with CLAs), then granting the project leaders a joint ownership over copyright is a very small price to pay in exchange for having the leaders take your contribution into the mainline. If, on the other hand, your goal is to shape the project, this usually entails a large number of significant contributions, and if you do that, becoming a part of the leadership or getting a part of the project ownership can be negotiated.

I can't figure it out either from the details provided in the NYT article, but there's a more clear article about the related case in Germany:

https://www.reuters.com/article/germany-dividends/dividend-t...

In this case, though, it involved a bank that owned the shares: The bank would loan the shares to a shorter, the shorter would sell them to a buyer, and both the bank and the buyer would collect the dividend refund.

I wonder if there's some detail the NYT author missed in terms of double ownership that would make the short sale make more sense.

He's not heartless, but he is very often slandered and misunderstood.
Many people feel that having a formal way to address people is useful. It allows you to express very quickly how close you want to have them to you. A stranger you don't like? Formal. A stranger who seems to be your own age and from similar circumstances? Try using non-formal and see how they react. The most beautiful form of this is 'Sie Arschloch', I think. At the same time kind of polite and a rude insult.
I can't imagine a case where it's within the US's power to force Apple to falsely deny a story for them, but not within their power to feed a fake story to Bloomberg.

This article discusses a separate software attack. My intuition is that the "17 sources" are just unfortunate national security officials on the receiving end of an increasingly paranoid game of telephone where various traditional attacks somehow turned into a supply chain attack executed via magical rice chips. This explains both Bloomberg's confidence in their own story and the staunch denials from Apple and Amazon.

True. The above was just for fun. But colloquial English these days behaves as if rules are to be made up as you go along. EG, locally I hear 'I'm going to thee Applebees Bar & Grill' as often as 'I'm going to thuh', but then again there isn't an abundance of Rhodes scholars in this neck of the woods.

One thing that I have noticed about English is that it seems to be more concise. There are things that can be expressed much more elegantly and with fewer word in English, while saying the same thing in German may require a mid-sized sentence.
No data is better than 10 years of useless data. I’d much rather be in the position of designing the data collection (experimental design ftw) than trying to fix the problems with an overly complicated modeling project. Buuut, I am a statistician.

The problem that Google stated was the YouTube app for WP (written by Microsoft) did not display any ads. Microsoft countered that Google wouldn't make a YouTube app themselves. But of course no business is compelled to create apps for their platform.

Ask HN: Requesting Interview Guidance Help – For Marketing and E-Commerce Roles
I am an MBA graduate specialising in marketing at e-commerce (+ fmcg industry with 6+ years of work ex.), and have been finding it very difficult while preparing towards such interviews.

It has been over 14 months, since I left my last job to take a break and start a married life, but since then it's been difficult being considered and barely received any replies to my over 200+ applications in the duration. Some recruiters have even been rude in stating that women should not state having taken a break or lie about it.

At the moment, I am working to make my application stand out from the rest and am creating a presentation with ideas and strategy, and some growth marketing experiments that I have been working on to pitch my candidature at a well know fitness & healthcare unicorn.

Towards this goal, I am looking for help with few mock interviews and constructive feedback on my efforts. It would be very kind if you could help me with an mock interview or feedback on my resume or presentation.

Please drop me a your email, and I would reach out to you - https://goo.gl/forms/jyN9ej8GMZG0JLqL2

> So what about third parties/reports/partners/contractors? Have they found anything and is Apple aware of those findings? Not disclosed here.
Are the QC processes in place sufficient to lead us to believe that Apple would/should have found this issue? etc. If not, who cares if they haven't found it.

You’re making up new assertions from whole cloth - the original story claimed Apple found the chips then alerted the FBI. Apple explicitly and clearly denies every single aspect of the BW/Bloomberg story, and your objection to their denial is that they didn’t deny actions never presented in the article?

That’s called a straw man, and it doesn’t pass muster...

> but where is the visual data entry?

That's where the "Power" suite enters the picture (Power Query, Power Pivot, etc.). Great way for non-technical people to get database data into Excel for reporting/analysis. I've trained plenty of people with only basic Excel skills to use it. The best part (for them) is that it's like a macro, so you can rerun it with new data any time.

You can even use those to pull an existing SSRS report directly into Excel.
Of course you can't use Youtube? Its a Google product. Its built ground up to depend on Play Services.

> because we’re stuck in 2003

It's called learning a lesson (repeatedly). Don't trust Google. And don't trust Microsoft, now or in 2003. Don't trust companies, period. Always have an exit plan and try not to get locked inside their boxes if possible. These companies exist to make money, so power and control is what they want. That doesn't mean we can't appreciate good products or initiatives, just keep in mind that the boot and the giving hand belong to the same entity.
I'm honestly curious if this is part of like a Russian misinformation campaign. I can't imagine China would be involved (it looks bad for them), and this feels like maybe an attempt by a foreign power to manipulate the market in the US by messing with our media. I'm curious if Bloomberg's interviews were done in person with all of their corroborating sources or if VoIP or email was heavily in use for these.

The idea that someone put in place an extensive, intentional plan to create a false story is perhaps the only way that all sides of this could be acting in good faith.

Troll farms have, at the very least, exacerbated conspiracy theories like Pizzagate or QAnon, which very few people are likely to find credible. But the step up from that, the truly masterwork level of that, would be to fabricate a story that comes from an incredibly reliable source, that truly leaves the reader unsure of who to trust and what the reality is.

Writers Behind “Grievance Studies Scandal” Address Criticisms
Yup. SOV word order is natural conceptually and generally has less ambiguity in parsing, but the working memory requirements are really high. This is why simplified modern languages tend to shift to SVO word order. It is similar to how math operators are written in infix which makes equations easier to read than if we had written then as postfix.

YouTube not being on Windows Phone is really Microsoft's fault. They wrote their own "YouTube" app that removed ads and allowed downloading videos. Google rightfully was like "No way" and Microsoft continued to be belligerant.

Google didn't want to let Microsoft develop their own YouTube client because Google frequently changes how the YouTube client works. Microsoft could have wrapped the web client, but after they acted stupidly Google didn't want to further cooperate.

A case for mu: it is NOT tag-based, which is a feature: it can work with normal IMAP, and thus other email clients that aren't mu can look at that mailbox, and have all the data. Notmuch's tags do NOT live in IMAP (as far as I know), so if your workflow relies on them, you get annoyed if you ever look at your mailbox in any other way.

With mu, you just do the normal thing: instead of tagging a message as "x", you put it in folder "x". Clearly this breaks down if you want to apply more than one tag to a message, but this hasn't been an issue for me in the 20+ years I've been using email.

Before I read this, I had no idea that mu even did any tag-based anything.
Putting aside the specifics of this story for a moment: I really hope that we don't enter a new era of tech journalism where we get story after story written by anonymous government sources, because I am about to lose my mind over the constant barrage of reporting in this style on politics.

> And let’s not even compare the longevity of devices.

Why not? My android phones last multiple years - I've only switched when moving countries and the mobile bands are incompatible. My Nexus 4, from 2012 but running an up-to-date LineageOS, is my current backup phone, and works perfectly. I daresay it works significantly better than my parents similarly aged iPhone 5 (or 5s?), which also has an up-to-date OS, and runs slow as molasses.

But really, the main benefit of Android, for me and most other people I'd guess, is price. The combined purchase price of all 4 of my androids is about equivalent to a single current iPhone flagship (150+300+250+360 Canadian dollars).

I agree with you on general specs - iPhone are pretty much guaranteed to be at (or at least near) the top, for just about every category. Comparing the "average android device" to that will not be favourable. But the android ecosystem does give you a lot more choice - if you stuck to flagship Samsung or equivalent, I think you'd find it to be similarly at-or-near-the-top in most every category. And if, like me, you don't want the best of everything, but rather a decent-at-most-things but at a lower price, Android works better.
And also kickstart an app store good enough so that all the apps 99% of the users are looking for are there.

This was precisely how Windows Phone failed, so...

> English grammar is far simpler than German grammar.

How do you negate in English? How does one eloquently and idiomatically combine English modal verbs? What are the rules governing when and how English deviates from SVO? Whom is still a word in English; how do its corner cases work? I could go on.

In other words, maybe English's grammar is simpler than German's and maybe it isn't, but it definitely isn't as clear-cut as you make it out to be.

Is there really a point to such a scenario between nuclear powers? It doesn't make much sense to me. The US might as well launch all its warheads from the start.

Wow, didn't realize that is based in more then one year long investigation by Bloomberg. That seems to be quite thorough and am I already curious when companies will come forward with details.
This is exactly what happened when both the US intelligence community and media decided that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in the 00's. All the sources traced back to a handful of Iraqi dissidents who had made the story up to encourage American intervention.
There’s something going on here. I think the denials from Apple and Amazon are strong evidence that Bloomberg’s story isn’t the end of it if it’s even true in the first place, but it’s entirely possible that there are other layers to the other story that explain the evidence that Bloomberg and their sources have seen.

And, regardless of the factual accuracy of this specific story, the overall question of supply chain security, particularly when it entails depending on geopolitical rivals, is an important one.
At least the "admin:admin" can be googled by a novice who has lost the sticker. Otherwise, the device becomes unusable.
