Complete transparency for everything is better than only some entities having all the power. Obviously, we’re not going to be able to achieve privacy, so the only other option is to have everything be transparent.
The biggest problem with this is going to be the iPhone-style inconvenience of lining one's head up properly to unlock a door. When the technology gets streamlined and unobtrusive it will be adopted by everyone but career criminals and severe paranoids. Ease of use is the issue, if the new system takes more work and is a pain in the ass people are going to dislike it and complain about 'privacy' because that's the popular topic.

> Because society as a whole hasn't spent hundreds of years literally enslaving short people

Actually, they have done exactly that. For many centuries before appropriate nutrition became essentially ubiquitous, there was indeed a highly-significant correlation between height and social class - and the lowest class often faced near-slavery conditions in surprisingly recent times, especially outside Western Europe. Of course, you're right that "strict moral and legal standards" are rather lacking on the issue. I'm not sure that we would agree on whether that's a desirable state of affairs.
Guests are tracked in plenty of apartment buildings. Sure, many might not bother with strictly policing guests but effectively every apartment building I lived in reserved the right to manage who comes in and out of the building.
I see what you are saying; however, I think those restrictions are often necessary due to to the dramatic difference in power between a corporation and an individual employee.

Since most people do not have the opportunity to support themselves anymore (because they cannot afford farmland or the capital to start their own business), for most people working for someone else is no longer voluntary. Therefore, I think those people must have the right to negotiate fair* working conditions with their employer.

* I realize that the exact definition of what constitutes fair is going to differ between different people and political views. However, I think there are general principles that most people can agree on such as making enough to provide for ones family, a safe work environment, being treated with respect by the employer, and work hours that allow the employee to participate in other aspects of life.
I reuse every single plastic bag. I live in a tiny studio in Manhattan and they serve as small, free garbage bags.

Without plastic bags, I'll have to buy garbage bags (which are too large). I'll also have to carry around a reusable bag when I go shopping—which prevents me from going shopping on a whim, since I can't keep bags in the trunk of my nonexistent car—or use the paper bags which are still allowed. Ironically, this will cause me to be more wasteful, since I can't reuse paper bags!

They should just charge 10 cents per plastic bag. Heck, charge 20 cents. Lawmakers seem to have rejected this as a "tax on the poor", but is taking away the option from everybody any better?
Facial expressions aren't required here - even reading the basic behavior of a car being driven by a human involves theory of mind. Some people are actual [insult]s and will not let you merge or otherwise not play a game theoretic optimal strategy.

If you ignore "those cities not a part of a larger city's metropolitan area," it's (6,000/km^2) between New York City (10,000/km^2) and Boston (5,000/km^2). It's approximately the same density as Queens.

It's much less than Paris (21,000/km^2), Athens, Barcelona, and a bunch of other European cities. More than Dublin (5,000/km^2), if that helps.

Inko: A Brief Introduction
> Humans kill over 100 people per day in traffic accidents in the US alone - I don’t think no-fail (0 deaths) is a reasonable requirement, just being safer than humans is enough.

This is a fallacy. People don't just look at safety statistics. The actual manner/setting in which something can kill you matters a ton too. There's a huge difference between a computer that crashes in even the most benign situations and one that only crashes in truly difficult situations, even if the the first one isn't any more frequent than the second.

Hypothetical example: you've stopped behind a red light and your car randomly starts moving, and you get hit by another car. Turns out your car has a habit of glitching like this every 165,000 miles or so (which seems to be the average accident rate) for no apparent reason. Would you be fine this car? I don't think most people would even come close to finding this acceptable. They want to be safe when they haven't done anything dangerous -- they want to be in reasonable control of their destiny.

P.S. people are also more forgiving of each other than computers. E.g. a 1-second reaction time can be pretty acceptable for a human but, but if the computer I'd trusted with my life had that kind of reaction time it would get defenestrated pretty quickly.

Having subleased to a legitimate person before, it's already annoying/stressful enough to be a sublandlord since you are taking on a lot of credit risk as is. If I'm in a position where I'm going to shadily rent out my below market apartment I'm not going to rent it out to someone that a normal landlord otherwise wouldn't pick.

My Tesla doesn't change lanes without driver confirmation. It requires ACTIVE confirmation from the driver, and is extremely conservative in crossing the line. I frequently take over when it doesn't change lanes fast enough.

Most likely the driver was passing someone.

Both solutions comes with its own issues, but I don't think there is a legal way to do a full pentest.

I agree that Google has many unique internal systems for job management, workflow management, authorization, CI/CD, etc., that have unique configuration and unique behavior that new employees will need to learn. As an SRE you probably spend a lot of time in that world.

Seems like the linked article was more on the topic of programming languages, though, not configuration management. I don't think a non-Googler would have any trouble reading and understanding Google internal code in a programming language they're familiar with.

Exceptions might be pre-TypeScript JS codebases using the closure compiler annotations, old ndb Python code if there's any of that left, or Java engineers who haven't used dependency injection before.

Simulating a highly targeted attack is expensive, and the protection most people have against those is that they're not interesting enough to spend so much effort on.

For the average person, the main threats are various forms of social engineering, mostly the kind that is really obvious to anyone who has a rough idea how security works ("This is a secure document, please click yes when it asks you to allow this document to execute arbitrary code"), and software so far out of date that common exploit kits have pre-packaged exploits.
As part of that risk I'm sure Tesla would far rather burn the people who paid extra for some technology that wasn't ready yet than release something that is sub-par at a minimum and dangerous at worst

Killing a bunch of people or jamming up traffic is a quick way to going out of business in the car industry, so there's far more incentives to wait for the real thing. It's not like an optional $2-3k add-on (to a $40-60k product) that turns out to be useless would be a game changer. People will just not trust them to pre-invest and wait to buy it when it's available.

>you have a zero percent chance of learning anything math related just by listening to the lecture

Most students will never really learn anything math related beyond basic arithmetic - they'll just about fake it for the exams, then promptly forget it. The actual numeracy skills of the general population (even college graduates (even STEM graduates)) is so woefully inadequate that it'd be entirely reasonable to argue that we should just stop bothering with mandatory math education after 8th grade.

IMO the fundamental problem with education is the assumption that it works. The handful of RCTs we have suggest that it's mostly placebo.

My friend had a cafe in the Houston suburbs once ages ago. He splurged for these dank cardboard cups that didn't need the little circle of extra cardboard to keep from burning your hand - he didn't like those cause he'd see them on the ground everywhere and he believed they made people more likely to accidentally drop their cups.

Anyway, something like 90% of people would ask where the little cardboard sleeves were in his shop or through the drive through, even if he explained he got good cups that don't require it. It just wasn't a concept for people - they needed their sleeves or they'd burn their fingers, of course!
I believe they’re not extinct because the specifies mostly survived by living in captivity and being cared for by teams of scientists.

If I remember correctly it was only recently they were reintoduced into the wild en-masse.
In Boston, I usually saw pedestrians bring with them those little folding grocery strollers so that they don’t have to carry the bags. Anyone with that sizeable regular haul of groceries isn’t carrying them by hand all the time.
Wouldn't charging 10 cents per bag (or more) solve the problem and allow for my use case?

I also don't think using plastic bags as garbage bags is all that unusual for people in small NYC apartments. A coworker was voicing the same complaint on Friday, for instance.
Validating New Features with Customers Before You Build Them
Not sure why you think this is the case: there are numerous JITs/VMs that optimize starting from bytecode e.g. all JVMs, WebAssembly, V8, JSC,...

Can you point me to some paper/reference about this? AFAIK it doesn't matter whether you have an AST or bytecode. Optimizations are done on an IR anyways.

>That’s one factor, but the core problem is that we can’t build enough inventory to match demand to live in the city, largely due to artificial restrictions.

Even if you don't consider zoning laws, could we build enough supply to satisfy demand? People want to live in the city, but many are unwilling to live in (small) apartments. Many even want houses, but obviously the density of that type of housing is too low to satisfy demand. The city would sprawl. The outskirts would be far from where people want to live.
Yes, except if you don’t care about just money... (and most people still won’t have the discipline, regardless of career choice.)
Considering that most people on HN are self-starters who had to learn things on their own whether by necessity or just because they preferred it that way, it may not be so obvious that a good number of people are not able to have that kind of freedom. Whether for good or bad, these types of people must be coerced toward doing things for their own good, like with punishment for not doing the homework, otherwise they would choose to do nothing and fail. Even with homework and all the punishments, there's kids who still can't be made to work. But if the teachers gave them homework...you can't say they didn't try you know. If there was no homework, I'm sure a number of parents would be complaining how the schools didn't do anything for their children. And parents generally pay taxes, that funds these schools.

Perhaps there should be a way for kids to opt-out of homework provided they have the grades and work ethic? And then this would incentivize other kids to try harder as well if they want that privilege.
> It means you are trusted. It means you are trustworthy. It means you are skilled enough.

It means those things to the org that made you the maintainer. It means nothing in particular to the users, bug reporters, and people who offer up fixes and features who don't already know you.

> If you are open to review other people’s contributions, there is a high change you will find challengers disguised as contributors.

New devs making a first-time pull request typically do not yet trust a project's dev process. They also realize that the project has no way to trust their own skillset. To break the stalemate the new dev typically "oversells" their patch set and errs on the side of TMI to the point of being defensive.

Doesn't it fall to the maintainer to keep things positive, clear, and on-topic in such situations? If the org takes that as a necessary skill of a maintainer and mentors to it, it's at least possible to have a decent experience as a maintainer. If not, then I speculate any maintainer would interpret those skills as out of scope for project maintenance.

I also speculate they'll interpret each "challenge" as a distraction from their duties and steadily progress toward an increasing likelihood of burnout.
I hope this Intel VISA Exploit will shed some light upon inner workings of Intel Management Engine, its memory states, software modules, their undocumented features etc.
Boy, are you an optimist.

Humans are LOUSY in almost all of those conditions as well as much less challenging ones--we engineer the road in an attempt to deal with human imperfections. The I-5/I-805 intersection in California used to have a very slight S-curve to it--there would be an accident at that point every single day. Signs. Warning markers. Police enforcement. NOTHING worked. They eventually just had to straighten the road.

Humans SUCK at driving.

Most humans have a time and landmark-based memory of a path and they follow that. Any deviation from that memory and boom accident.

This is the problem I have with the current crop of self-driving cars. They are solving the wrong problem. Driving is two intertwined tasks--long-term pathing, which is mostly spatial memorization, and immediate response, which is mostly station keeping with occasional excursions into real-time changes.

Once they solve station-keeping, the pathing will come almost immediately afterward.
Well it looks like fun but you really should show a clickable demo. This looks more like a hidden ad now.
I think I understand you completely, but I also think I know why you were downvoted. The problem is the implied promise of having a software project page on something like GitHub with descriptions, documentation, etc. This, in my mind, and probably yours too, implies a promise of future development, maintenance or at least security bug fixes. When such things are not forthcoming in a manner one might reasonably expect, we feel as though we have been cheated out of something we (rightly or wrongly) feel was promised to us.

Maybe what would be useful would be some standard (and required!) marking for all software projects on what the current level of maintenance is. Is it

Level 0. I wrote this in an afternoon and have no plans to ever look at it again — use at your own risk.

all through

Level X. This project is under active development and also has maintainers for a stable branch, which also receives security bug fixes in a timely manner.

In short, what I think is actually irresponsible is for projects to look like they are close to level X but then have maintainers behave like they are at a much lower level, and who think that any level of behavior is OK since they don't get paid and haven't personally promised anything. It would be better for all involved if the expected (approximate, of course) level of maintenance could be explicitly announced – this might make it clear to users what level they can expect, and make it clear to maintainers what level of involvment is expected of them to be able to call themselves “maintainers”.

You can't just wave away the impact of having eval though. Just the fact that it exists means you need to keep around some supporting state like variable names. You can't do full constant folding and eliminate all intermediate steps for example if there a chance a runtime-created code will reach into your frame and want them back.

Yelp tried to strong-arm us
In New York, a subtenant in a rent-stabilized apartment can sue the prime tenant to recover overcharged rent. They can also report the prime tenant to the landlord, who will probably evict them. The subtenant can even take over the lease in some cases.
True, but it is no different for a human driver. All we have is our senses, and anyone can try to fool them.
Comparing the unpleasantness of peasant life to literal chattel slavery is disingenuous at best, and you're conflating correlation and causation here, as people in unpleasant lives coincidentally ending up short because of poor nutrition is a far cry from cross-continental kidnapping and selling members of a genetically-short ethnic group on an industrial scale.
If the improvements happen in software, deploying them for free is obviously not an issue. The question is how much the necessary hardware modifications would cost. But they're charging thousands of dollars for the option, which gives them some leeway to at least break even there, especially if you consider the time value of money between when they sell the option and when they deliver it.

The real question is, what happens if "full self driving" doesn't arrive for another 30 years?

But if you think car companies have never promised something they weren't sure they could deliver, you're not aware of the incumbents' unfunded pension liabilities.

One has to keep in mind the Microsoft Word paradox: 99% of the people have no use for any single feature of yours, but when you have 600 of those removing them means that every single one of your users will miss something and will look into something that does it.

That of course doesn't mean that both it's perfectly fine to have a niche product that perfectly solves a problem few people have, some features really aren't used by anybody. It's just that things are not always simple.
Doesn't that make it preferable to give access to all? The other alternative means those who can access to all that footage in aggregate have huge power over those who only have access to a few cameras.
They might have taken over the role of maintainer, but if the level of involvment which the project required was too much for them, it would have been their duty as maintainer to declare the project moribund until a more active maintainer could be found. To keep the project active and looking alive is to mislead users and implicitly promise a level of support and development which they know they cannot uphold.
So it’s ok to lie to the DMV about your address? I had to give them three documents to prove my address to get a license and my wife did as well to get a state ID. Is the assumption that he knows he’s breaking the law and ok with it or is there some scenario where you can provide a false address and that’s ok?

Maybe ir differs state to state?
