From the Wikipedia article on BART (the Bay Area Rapid Transit system):

> Less than a month after the system's opening, on October 2, 1972, an ATC [automated train control] failure caused a train to run off the end of the elevated track at the terminal Fremont station and crash to the ground, injuring four people.

In a bit more detail, they had trackside something-or-others that gave speed information to the train. One train mis-read the speed instruction as calling for 67 MPH instead of 20-something, at a time that it was heading into a dead-end station. When that happens, if there's no human there to say "wait a minute, that's not right", the mistaken command gets obeyed, and the train crashes.

Now: Does that happen more often with automated systems? Or less often? Arguably, less. But to this day, BART has people in the cabs of their trains, at least to monitor the automated system.
can you elaborate more on this or perhaps drop a link?
This isn’t true, the same PAN (Primary Account Number) is never issued to two different accounts. Even if you wanted to solve all the payment routing problems this could cause, it wouldn’t be possible to implement. The expiry date can change while the PAN stays the same, so you’d never be able to gurantee a unique key today stays unique in the future.
You say that like people don't get busted for this all the time.

CEO Person: "That sounds great, please keep doing more of that!"

Admittedly, I like playing with the new shinies as much as the next dev, the above scenario sounds horrible to me to :)

A 20 ft trailer sailer will generally weigh around 1000 kg, plus trailer and rigging.

And just because a Corolla can technically tow 1500 lb doesn't mean it does it well. In my experience Corollas do not tow well. The combination of small engine and relatively high gearing means that it's not really suitable. You really need at least a 2 L engine for towing.

That's not to mention all the other stuff you end up carrying around for the boat, such as fuel, tools, life jackets, etc.
There's another gotcha, though is that Lambdas seem to default to inside the VPC by default, which triggers the NAT Gateway cost if you want to do anything useful with them. You'll need to explicitly remember to host the Lambdas outside the VPC.

Can you try a more constructive rebuttal? Your comment isn’t exactly compelling.
All depends on what you're doing and threat model.

Some may just be avoiding local isp surveillance. Some are just getting a vpn to access a site blocked on their country.

For what you said,it really matters what country it's in and who is hosting it. For example, switzerland and finland means no dmca cooperation (not easily at least). If the owner is publicly known and had a lot to lose outside of the vpn business in the event of a reputaional loss, that would be even more preferable (for me it's freedome or protonvpn due to the risk they take by associating it with f-secure and protonmail respectively)

Yes. This was my same thought. So what if they will send you instructions to cancel? As petilion (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=petilon) mentioned here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18927948) the instructions are designed to make you give up the cancellation process.

The right mechanism should be to request explicit authorization.

But closer to the topic, look at the government housing programs. Billions of dollars to build housing projects that do effectively nothing to lower the overall market price of housing, while creating slums by concentrating poverty in specific locations, while actively making the actual problem worse with zoning rules.

You can have more restrictions around gambling to make it less addictive. Things like only allowing gambling in a small number of places, and limiting the size of the payouts, would help I would imagine, while still making illegal gambling less appealing.
I'm clearly a hoarder. As a child, I collected WWII stuff. Some, I found myself in battlefields. And some, I got through trade with other kids. And a lot of it got disassembled. Both out of curiosity, and for parts. So I had quite the collection. Basically, weapons, ordinance, hardware and electronics.

And now, I just keep broken stuff, or parts of it. Just about every display, for example, comes with a power cord (or now, brick) and data cable. Ditto with computers and keyboards. So I keep the best ~five of each that aren't in use, and donate the rest to a reuse center. I also have quite the fan collection. But I no longer save RAM, because it so rarely matches.

I also have lots of hardware. Metal stock, fasteners, etc. And scrap wood, left over from projects.

Sure, it takes up space. But I have a closet for that, and it's reasonably well organized. And if something breaks, or if I need to hack something, there's a pretty good chance that I'll have what I need.

It is important to note that John Bogle or Vanguard did not invent ETFs. They popularized it.

The first rudimentary ETF was probably Toronto 35 Index Participation Units (TIPs 35) traded on Toronto Stock Exchange. The first fully mature ETF was State Street Global Investors's S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPDR). State Street company is still a major player in the ETF space today.

I hoard digital media. I have thousands of e-books, movies, TV episodes, music, and games that I will never be able to consume in my lifetime. Not to mention all the time I spent obtaining the media. It does make me slightly uncomfortable to get rid of the ones I know I probably won't consume, but that feeling is mitigated by the fact that I should be able to easily re-obtain the items if I change my mind.

I don't know if this is related to physical hoarding, since I am an anti-hoarder when it comes to physical objects -- I prefer to have fewer things as opposed to more things, and have a strong aversion to what I call "cheap plastic crap".

My fiancee's grandmother (from a post-Great-Depression era) wasted a fortune (~$500k) on ordering from late night infomercials and anything else they could buy (buried in the hoard were total gyms and horse saddles, stacks of unread subscriptions piling for decades, etc). Their house was a veritable hoarder home that only stopped filling when they ran out of money. I'll counter your "nuh-uh" with "uh huh".

I think there's a ton of people here who follow Bogle's ideas. It's the go-to investment advice for anyone in tech that everyone parrots.

That said, I think the discussion of a black bar every time someone dies is a little repetitive and kind of sours the process.

On a related note, I was looking for the list of people who got black bars, and I couldn't find one. Does anyone know if there's an (un)official list?

I'll start:

Aaron Swartz

Gerald M. Weinberg

Steve Jobs

Stephen Hawking

Andy Grove

Marvin Minsky

I seem to remember Terry Davis didn't, which disappointed me, but made sense as there was confusion around if he was dead at first.

The Forward ending 121-year print run
This will seem tone deaf, but while the author tries to emphasize the fear he felt, this final story seems not very oppressive; and while he makes statements claiming a person of privilege would be treated better, I wonder how.

The most fear invoking aspects:

1. Police have hand on holstered gun as they approach a deadly machine (car) and possibly armed unidentified person (I believe this is policy)

2. A "grisly" attitude in asking for ID before telling the reason for the stop. And being told to keep his hands still and visible after he had fumbled his wallet.

3. Waiting for backup - and backup securing the stop, but ultimately being the nice good cop.

Here's why I don't believe he feared for his life

1. He stood up for his right to not offer ID. (this is inadvisable but legal)

2. He texted his wife despite the wallet debacle where the officer told him to keep his hands on the wheel. (this is questionably unlawful and disobeying an officer)

3. He was quickly free to go, though his vehicle would be impounded because an uninsured vehicle can't be driven. However, he decided to be frustrated with the officer and not grab his personal belongings.

4. Ultimately, he discusses with the officer that he is free to use a cell phone, talk to state farm, resolve the issue, and ultimately, trusts the officer with his cell phone.

5. By the end, he is asking if the ticket could be destroyed (despite now knowing he in fact broke the law) and discussing the officer with the backup he was afraid of.

A good lawyer would tell him that he should have done the following:

1. Should have had bill of sale and insurance in a provisionally tagged vehicle.

2. Should have cooperated with a driver's license, as he is driving a vehicle. Even though he doesn't legally have to. Unless this would incriminate him.

3. Shouldn't have said anything. Take the ticket. Should have let them impound the car, take his personal belongings if he isn't being detained.

4. Go home. contact lawyer, let lawyer find out why insurance wasn't paid, and count the $300 of impound fee and ticket up to an accident.
What other consent do you propose? The customer is already providing their credit card details. The only secure way of providing recurring consent would be something like a separate CVC.
> The items don't have to be large or important.

I have OCD (which isn't hoarding, but manifests in similar ways), and it's as if there is not filter. _Everything_ is of equal value. That wrapper I just discarded, or this photo of my parents - they're of equal importance.

Yes, I _know_ they're of no use, but it _might_ be (is my OCD thought process).
Yeah, the horn usually gets to them, when you can see them up ahead, but one should always brake first. I used to hear 'Never swerve, use the brake instead!', and I couldn't imagine anyone with any driving experience thinking that swerving was a good idea in the first place. I never had a serious collision with a deer that was 'caught in the lights', standing on the road. Always able to slow down enough to avoid or slow bump. It's the interceptor deer on a full run that did the most damage, which happens more often than one might think.
Fair enough, but I don't think it's wrong to want a PaaS/FaaS that automagically compiles things. You'll be hard pressed to convince anyone who genuinely likes this approach to switch over to having their IDE, developer tools, or CI do it.
What would be really perfect for "on campus" maintenance vehicles where you're not driving them on the highway or towing heavy loads would be electric Kei trucks.
I 100% agree with you if you’ve made a good faith effort to cancel. My earlier comment wasn’t about people that intend to cancel. It was about people that retroactively try to “cancel.” As far as free trials auto-converting, I am not sure why anyone would sign up with a credit card for a free trial in the first place. For my little business, a free trial is just that. You don’t give a card number until we have a reason to need it: meaning, you want to pay us. I am complaining about people that actually agree to pay and then attempt a retroactive cancellation by disputing the charge. The way I run my business is that I will gladly refund people that actually forgot but when their course of action is to dispute the charge, then I fight it fiercely because chargebacks cost me actual money. If I lose a chargeback, it costs me $15. A courtesy refund is gladly provided but accusing me of theft with a charge dispute — that’s an entirely different case.
I wouldn't say that. TMobile is the outlier. Most 5G deployments will have mich, much shorter wavelengths.
It's the same in New Zealand, where the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux are the two best selling vehicles.

There are far more compact cars sold than pickup trucks, it's just that most manufacturers only offer one model of pickup truck, and often offer several similar models of compact cars, hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs.

In NZ, Ford offers 3 different small passenger cars and 4 different SUVs, but only one pickup [1]. Toyota is much the same.

Is it realistic to expect to get 25% of a market you are newly-entering? I would say 1% or 2% would be more realistic, especially given the incumbents.
As someone who grew up on a farm I always looked at rich people in a city that drove a truck kind of funny. I don't get it, but around where I grew up there is a middle class of people who go to church, listen to country music, and drive $50k trucks everywhere even though they get terrible mileage.

As a tangent, if you go far enough out in the wilderness, having a truck makes some sense. You might have to drive a couple hours to the nearest store in some remote parts of the US that I've visited, and I can't imagine making the trip more than a couple times a month at most- and you may have to haul a load up and down several (potentially icy) mountains. However, I don't think that's why most people own trucks. It's a fashion thing, the same reason people drive most other $50k cars around.
Are they going to be the landlord, or even arms-length invested in the landlord? Or, are they agreeing to fund metro and county housing initiatives which have public boards?

I'm not in favour of the former, I prefer the latter, but I could believe its a conversation about "how" and "what works"

I had exactly the opposite experience. I found the Osmo terrible and my son lost interest extremely quickly. Their Hot Wheels game has nothing educational about it, it's a racing game where you drop tokens on the viewing area. Even as a game it's boring, but the complete lack of educational value is what really ticked me off.

The other games are extremely limited, and get old quickly, which is disappointing considering how expensive they are.

Leapfrog is much more educational and interesting for kids and much cheaper too.

Regarding #2, I flubbed and meant to say "More noise", not "More deception". I didn't realize my mistake till later.

And I was briefly dissecting the Google summaries of these services, but I have read much, much more than that for every major VPN provider before settling with Mullvad.

I recommend Mullvad and if you took more than a cursory glance at their blog and documentation then you would get an understanding of what kind of service they want to be. They strive for top-notch security and service.

Nord also seems like a decent choice, even if they are not for me. For me, a company's ethos is extremely important and comes first. However, Nord still has the standard scummy sales tactics employed by so many companies, as you can see from their summary.

Unfortunately this doesn't work in my experience. The credit card company will absolutely back you if you've been sold bad goods or services, but they seem to need to see evidence that you've already done your due diligence in trying to recover the money yourself. The evidence needs to show that the seller isn't willing to reimburse you. I find email works best for this.

The last time I encountered this was with Air Transat. I had to submit my twitter and email correspondence to my Visa provider. I was never issued tickets but I spent nearly $3k on my card, then had to do it AGAIN so I'd get tickets in time for my trip. So I went on my trip missing pretty much all of my spending money, and Transat and Visa were both just playing a waiting game for the entire two weeks. Thankfully my accommodations were paid for in advance and food in Puerto Vallarta is delicious and cheap. I didn't get my money until about 3 months after they took it from me.

I've heard Mastercard will do chargebacks with no questions asked, but I've never actually done it.

That doesn't counter "That alone". A single example doesn't prove that that alone may may cause it - even within that example, there may be other factors at play.
It happened to me with 1and1.com. They renewed my domain name (for one I didn't care about) and my card had already expired. So instead of not renewing the domain, they renewed it and then billed me and sent it to collections. It hit my credit report but I mailed the collections agency a dispute asking them to prove it was a legitimate debt and they ended up dropping it. I don't do any business with 1and1.com anymore. This was back in 2012.
Right, everyone knows the stereotypes, but not everyone knows that there's an identifiable condition behind it, with signs and patterns that are identifiable and uniform, as well as support for victims.
