I again feel that most of these points are all discussed in the paper. Trust-on-first-usage is also used in SSH. Attack uses spoof MAC addresses, hard to rate-limit that. Modern crypto should be designed to reduce chance of implementation flaws. Paper concludes that WPA3 is still better than WPA2. Most attacks are on WPA3's Dragonfly. Etc. The most practical attacks are downgrades to WPA2 though, so the press might focus too much on that..

Where specifically? I'm not aware of bike lanes that have a special light for vehicles turning across the bike lane in Austin.
What I was getting at is that would be much more complex, because this uses a camera (2d), while echolocation/our ears is 3d when all is said and done. So to do what you're suggesting, you'd first need some way create a 3d model of the world from the camera's 2d image, and then encode into sound.

At which point, echolocation is probably better.
Isn't "do not trust localStorage" another variant of "do not trust the client"?

Taking client-controlled storage and inserting it unsafely into the DOM sounds like a bad idea, although it's not something that is popularly discussed as a trust boundary so awareness is key (this article is a great example).
On the libertarian-authoritarian axis, "far left" could mean anything and is hence meaningless. If you're using that label to mean left-libertarian, then with respect to institutions they are simply libertarian.

But to the extent they're credibly running for office, they're likely tending towards left-flavored authoritarian because carrying the banner for policies that will benefit some entrenched interests is how elections are won in the US.
That's not what I was saying. That a car is statistically more safe is not comforting when it kills you in a way you would have easily avoided had you been driving.
Thanks! I like w3m because the web in general is insanely overstimulating. w3m lets me engage with the text without having to see all manner of distractions. I'm willing to accept being locked out of some sites to preserve my sanity. I also use firefox, but only as an application client for things I've already opted in to, like webmail, banking, and work-related stuff. Like you say, this is the freedom afforded to us by general purpose computers, and it's worth exercising.
Uber is ready. It's autonomous for you as a passenger, and you get a free chat buddy if you feel like it.

Autonomous cars are interesting for the trucking industry - for everyday driving, reducing traffic via remote work and smarter city planning is what'll make people happy imho.

I don't mind a 10 minute drive. It's the 100 minute drive in bumper to bumper traffic that makes people dream of self-driving cars. The real answer is not being in that position to begin with.
I'm typically an autonomous skeptic, but I disagree. I think autonomous cars are decades away UNLESS we start designing roads specifically for vehicular autonomy. design lanes that are extremely easy for cameras to see. Traffic lights that are easy for computers to parse. Street signs like QR codes etc.

Obviously the cost of this is prohibitive. But at some point we have to get it through our heads that for a computer to excel at a task, the task needs to be redesigned.

That is why you have park & ride concepts and trains. In many european cities you have places just outside the city where you can park your car or hop of and take your bike and take the last mile by bike or public transport.

Having all your commuters drive their car into the city is not at all a good idea. I lived for years at one heavy intersection in one of Germanys biggest cities and I can tell you, if you watch the traffic for half an hour you will see maybe one or two cars with more than one person in them.

I moved from their because the dust and the noise were having a huge impact on my health.

I don't think it is about banning cars from city centers totally. It is about finding acceptable solutions that work without forcing people. Encourage them. Have a working public transport system. Make it cheap. Make it so cheap that driving a car will cost you. Include all problems cars cause in a urban space in some kind of toll or tax.
The really sad thing is that people will upvote/agree with you and the turn around to praise those who deplatform or otherwise silence the perceived opposition.

Heck, some things have become so heated that there can only be one right answer, ex: global warming. If you dare voice anything other than slavish obedience to this notion. If you DARE question anything about it - from the models/assumptions used to the moralizing - then you are branded an outcast and castigated.
I had to decline a job offer because Singapore doesn't issue visas for same-sex spouses. So... don't count me in on that...
Given they test aircraft canopies by firing frozen (after defrosting) chickens at them it's usually a safe assumption.

Air travel is very safe because of literal generations of engineers working hard to make it safe, in this case the failure is one of procedure and people been people (cutting close to the wind on what was allowed).

Things usually tighten up after this kind of thing and then gradually loosen until the next disaster that could have been preventable.
While very true, I don't think this criticism is really the important point.

The rapid pace of Chinese urbanisation and economic advance from such a low base has meant China's development has been necessarily highly speculative. There have been huge wins on projects that in the west would look absurd, as well as huge losses.

What you also have to remember is that the state has a huge interest to keep construction happening as its one of the biggest employing industries.

However development is trending now overall towards a more mature western approach. Big developers are more experienced. Unmet demand it not as massive as before. And wages are rising. The ridiculous projects are reducing in pace and being more carefully organised.
I am sad for two reasons.

1: He tried to make the world better by exposing American tyranny.

2: The timing and vigour of the waves of paid shills is chilling. This place is not a place for free and open discussion. The sophistication of narrative control has won, and we need to solve the problem.
Garden cities have never worked and never will work. I'm sure they have their reasons for building these now, but they will be big liabilities for China in 30 years, just like they have been in the US. (Speaking as a fan of Jane Jacobs and someone who works with fine-grained microeconomic data)
Because the cyclists, too, are part of the
public? It's not like that public money is
solely sourced from automobile drivers.

Then, would you be not opposed to requiring bicycles to be registered, bicyclists to be licensed & taxed just like cars & vehicular traffic does?

If you want a lane all to yourself isn't only fair that you pay your fair share toward the building, maintenance and repair of the lanes? Why should you get to use them free of cost?
You're going to pay for all those things even if it's indirectly through someone else who owns the vehicle. Most vehicle costs are related to mileage, not time--especially outside of areas where rust is a major factor.

I'm sure there will be a difference at the margins in cities where many people don't need a car on a daily basis. I assume that's already the case with Uber/Lyft today. And self-driving when it eventually arrives in those areas presumably will decrease costs some. But for someone who lives outside of dense city centers it seems likely they'll continue to want to own a car that is a model they like, equipped to their specifications, and storing all the various things they keep in a car.
Personally I am very excited about TryFrom, I have been waiting for that forever it seems.
Delivery trucks are also loud and you can often feel rumbling when they drive by. Electric vehicles can't come soon enough.
I revise my criticism. What you're saying is (broadly) wrong, but it is not lowbrow. I apologize for the knee-jerk reaction.
It will be nice when Cargo dependencies can use pre-built binaries instead of having to compile the whole dep chain. One crate I contribute to has a 4 GiB target folder and takes 20 mins to compile from scratch...
> Well, the secret of the VIS was this: It was effectively a low-end PC (a 286, to be exact)

Tandy had this incredible, inexplicable love affair with the 286 processor.

IBM sold a ton of PC/ATs with 286es in them, but overall the clone market tended to treat the 286 as what it was, a deeply flawed first attempt to solve the problems of the 8086/8088. When the 386, which finally fixed those problems in a way that was elegant and usable, came along, most cloners enthusiastically jumped to that chip. But Tandy kept chugging along making 286 machines like the Tandy 1000 TX and TL into the mid-'90s, by which time they were deeply, obviously obsolete.

The only thing I can figure is that they had a sweetheart deal with Intel of some sort on the 286, and therefore couldn't bring themselves to let it go even long after everyone else had.

I guess that means if you have any passwords stored for a website you don't want anyone to know about, put it under a note with an unrelated or gibberish title? The fact they reveal the apps is kinda lame.
Isn't the three-dimensional vector cross product also not uniquely defined, since the choice between the right-hand rule and left-hand rule is arbitrary?
I don't think that's accurate or consistent enough to meet the requirements of FAR 25.207. Load factor is constantly changing in flight. You only have a constant load factor with zero turbulence and ~~straight and level flight~~ unaccelerated flight. edited Obviously I can climb at 500fpm at 1.0g, but if the rate itself is changing I'm at something other than 1.0g.

It also can't withstand failure of the selected pitot-static system, because it depends directly on it. So now you need a mechanism to detect such failures, and use a different pitot-static system, and do all of that switching while maintaining the requirements in FAR 25.207. I'm unconvinced that's feasible.
Just give the user an up/down button and let them dial in the following distance themselves.

Or detect their preferred following distance for any given speed when the system isn't running and copy that.
Right, even in the idealized models you need to spend a little bit of energy to write down the input and to read out the output of a computation. But the size of the input/output text is typically very small compared to the number of bit operations done during a computation, so if you can "unscramble" the entire intermediate state back to a low-entropy configuration that will get rid of nearly all the heat.

In less idealized models you can't even to do intermediate computations completely losslessly, so those computers will use some energy, but it can approach 0 by working more slowly.

The feeling that I'm getting from all of this is that the result is showcased to the side and they're trying to make her into a celebrity. I would love to hear her praise "her team" (her team is a subset of people in the whole project) Although, I don't think she has enough experience to realize that it's a good thing to do. (That's something you get from working in teams outside academia)

If you go to the moon, you don't just praise the one guy who did it. You bring the whole group of astronauts who went and did something. If they're smart they're going to admit that there were a ton of people who helped.

Why would there be anything on the dnc leaks? They just published the leaks, they did not participate in hacking. Publishing leaks is done all the times by journalists, if we're going to start banning this, then free press is literally dead in the US.
Well, technically any country that accepts a doubly nationality accepts a plurality - you simply don't inform all the other countries of your other nationalities.
OK man, I see the issue here.

You're talking about, "in the news, in academia, in the movie industry, in hiring, basically in the public culture". Whereas I'm talking about how people talk in private social situations. The professional world should be professional, and separate from your private life. (You don't talk to your spouse and kids the way you talk to your coworkers unless something is very, very wrong in one place or the other.)

As I've already said, no, you can't go up to your boss and start joking about killing cops, or about "gold digging women like his daughter". But again, who does that? That's just dumb.

Yes, in the professional world, guess what? They only want professionals. That's not some off the wall notion that has only arisen "...in the last say 5 years..." It's been that way since forever.

So I'm sorry man, I'm just not gonna feel bad for you because you can't denigrate handicapped people, or hispanics, or whatever at work. But I will call you a dummy for doing so, and I'll add that it's unprofessional.

But as I said before, at parties or whatever, there is no way you can tell me that people don't joke about those same handicapped people and hispanics. It happens all the time.

> This software wasn't even a critical feature.

There are two crashes directly related to this feature. So, it doesn't make sense to claim it wasn't critical.

In Boeing's own hazard analysis, they rated the feature "Hazardous", which is the second most critical rating. Obviously, it should have been rated "Catastrophic". But even with their own policy, anything rated hazardous is not allowed to have single-sensor failure. By their own policy, this should have had at least two sensors. There were multiple failures that let this slip through to production.
How do you measure the load factor?
I haven't seen any evidence of a self driving car accident in which the car had no potential to warn the driver. All the examples I have seen are when a car misidentifies on object in its path as a non-threat. The problem is that breaking and/or swerving are very drastic actions. There is therefore a deservedly high barrier before a system is willing to take those actions. At the worst you could have two systems running in parallel and one is tuned to be much more aggressive in making those decisions and that information is communicated to the driver.

No self driving car that doesn't have at least level 4 autonomy allows the driver to not pay attention like you are suggesting. The benefit of a cooperative tech is that it takes mental load off the driver. Like I said previously, there are different levels of mental energy that a person can spend on a task. It isn't like the choices are either 100% or 0% of your attention.
That is one of the main motivating factors!

It had been demonstrated that resumes with country music listed as a pastime get less call backs than resumes with sailing. Some companies also discriminate on the basis of political views, which disproportionately limits the opportunities of southerners (e.g. asking for candidates' opinions on affirmative action program). There's also general disdain and hostility toward conservatives. Open denigration of conservatives is tolerated at my work place and discussion even includes thinly veiled threats of violence at times.
I've worked as a government contractor in a few industries and my experience is just like OP's. The government is slow, inefficient, contradictory, expensive, and it under-delivers. This isn't an accusation, this is just fact, and it's not even a secret.
Are there any companies currently trying though? I'd be interested in joining an effort to design self driving cars and the roads those cars would need. I've had the idea for a while but haven't heard of anyone doing it.
Thank you. This is more or less perfect for my purposes.

My guess is anything related to the DNC hacks or any of their activity relating to the 2016 election are still tied up in offshoots of the Mueller investigation. Like the ongoing case against Roger Stone, for example. They could be waiting until they get Stone to cooperate with their probe so they have him as a witness to go after Assange. Or maybe the reverse, they want Assange arrested so they can depose him, search his laptop, and compel him to testify against Roger Stone. Probably some combination of the two. Yeah, I think this is probably them just trying to get him extradited and in custody so they can open the door to get more evidence.

Hmm, fn before_exec strikes me as a thing that should be gotten rid of entirely in favor of unsafe fn before_exec if the former indeed turned out to actually have the potential to cause undefined behavior. But that'd probably be a breaking change which would require a major version number bump, so deprecation is absolutely the right thing IMO. And it also sets the stage to get rid of it outright come the next major version bump.

This is the first such instance of "oops, turns out that wasn't safe after all, that should have been unsafe" that I've heard of in Rust. Is that because this is the first such mistake since the 1.0 milestone (the rest of `unsafe` having been nailed down before 1.0), or have there been other such mistakes that I didn't hear about because I haven't read the notes for all of the prior releases of Rust?
It seems TLA+ would be a really great fit for modeling actor systems, has anyone found good examples of this, for instance for Akka or Erlang?
NJ Wildberger, who is behind rational trigonometry, has some radical ideas. However, I do not think there is anything wrong with his results (at least most of them, his videos are great too!) and most of them could probably be applied in a more formal framework.

Hypocrisy comes from the Greek word for pretending or acting. You don't usually listen to hypocrites on an issue, because they lack the character to have a valid stance on the issue. If a murderer kills someone and then says murder is bad, we know they're full of crap and don't actually believe murder is bad, they're simply saying that to appear remorseful and less guilty..

In this situation Buzzfeed is pretending that this tracking is bad to generate more clicks so that their ads can invade more privacy to generate more income, exactly like Facebook. If they actually thought it was bad, their business model wouldn't rely upon it.

Only suckers believe Buzzfeed actually thinks this is bad.

>> A building sitting empty for 5 years is a massive cost even if it’s later filled.

Don't look too closely at NYC, Vancouver, london, or any of the other hot markets. Whether for historical preservation scams or investment trickery, it is not unusual for a building to sit empty for many years. Given the effort that it takes to oust tenants, and the length of time necessary for zoning/planning, many owners would rather a building sit empty for years pending redevelopment rather than the hassle of filling it.

In California, weeks before an election each voter gets mailed a booklet listing each proposition (proposed law that citizen or groups got on ballot) with argument from groups advocating both yay and nay. Quite handy to view.

And you can get the value each group advocating yah/nay also.

Same with candidates for elected positions.

No average voter can read all proposed laws and hope to understand it. And most definitely no news articles can help anyone to do so imho.
Is that from an obscure classic software or is it a new development?
