I don't think this is the proper approach. Once it's in browsers it will also be in electron applications. And those may update less frequently. Now you have balkanized implementations of custom DNS stub resolvers using different remote endpoints. That makes security updates more difficult, network issues more difficult to debug and so on.

Doing it properly would involve securing the system, once. This could be easily done by installing a DoH stub resolver service and then pointing the system config to localhost.
I just googled ghost city china and clicked on a random image which was a cnn article from 2014:

Apparently it is no longer a ghost town.
That's different. If you don't believe in property rights, you think that the law is fundamentally broken, not that any individual who owns property is evil. This article is basically doing the latter, which is why it's difficult to take seriously.
The next round of laws that criminalize non-cars at the expense of cars might be impending with the rise of autonomous cars. Cf this recent tweet where zoox called a law abiding pedestrian a "Jaywalker": https://twitter.com/zoox/status/1115622929192980480

Whenever western media tries and portray China as being ridiculous I'm reminded of the 80s or 90s magazine article showing empty highways being built around Beijing when 99% of the population didn't drive a car.

I'm way less worried about brand new empty cities. They fill up eventually. I'd be worried more about people abandoning populated cities. A problem the US is facing now.

Those are either actual interchanges (like how a highway/motorway interacts with a surface street), or a traffic light controlled intersection. Most protected infrastructure out there do not do either.
Umm... where do I start? ALL the tax prep companies lobby against free electronic filing. So if I want to vote with my wallet I have to go back to paper forms. Paper forms may be outlawed at some point in the future. Can you solve that issue?

The entire point is that identity fraud is hardly any issue in elections. That's why, to use your own terms, 'the powers that be' usually are in favor of stringent voter ID requirements. They can disenfranchise entire groups of people without being afraid of having to do more unsavory things which could potentially get them caught committing fraud like in say...North Carolina.

After all, it's not fraud if it's law. How convenient if the law only affects people that vote for the opposite party, too. Security is in many ways used as a buzzword. Not in attempt to actually improve election security, but to appeal to people's fears of illegal immigrants somehow showing up in the millions to vote illegally and what not.
I really really like driving cars and I don't think self-driving cars is the future it could be a small part of the future though.

Pitot-static failure is already a big deal for much more immediate reasons than an AoA estimate. And I'm puzzled why load factor changing would be a problem? The air data computer knows what the load factor is at any given time.

To be clear: I didn't imply that you'd want to use this as the single source of AoA, only that you can use this in concert with the physical sensors to determine if the sensors are producing a valid value. You need 3 sources to be able to throw out a bad measurement, 2 AoA sensors and an airspeed-based measurement should be a perfectly valid, single-fault-tolerant, way to outvote a bad sensor.

Remember that these accidents happened at high airspeed. You'd rip the wings off the airplane before you'd stall it at those speeds. It's not a subtle failure.

I would never yell at a bicyclist, and certainly would never hope one got hit. But I have to say, as an NYC pedestrian, I actively hate bicyclists.

They don't follow the rules of the road--at all. Red lights? Stop signs? Ignored. Pedestrians crossing in a crosswalk? Probably fine to whiz past them with 6 inches to spare.

I almost get hit by fast-moving bikes once or twice a year. A car has never even come close to hitting me in eight years. Not even those crazy taxi drivers.

I have no idea what possesses these people to blast through a red light, into a busy intersection, without slowing down or even looking, but they do it!

It has always seemed to me that bicyclists see something "different" about their mode of transportation that exempts them from most traffic laws. And the crazy thing is that they keep asking for more bike lanes.

(I'm not accusing you of being this way. But I think this may be the reason lots of people have a hatred of bicyclists. I know many people in the city who feel the same way I do.)
Yes, everything needs to be rebuilt with the new compiler after a ugprade, but sccache still provides very valuable time savings when you work on multiple Rust projects.
>Short story is some developments work, others don’t

This is the key point because the goal of these (over)-ambitious projects never was 100% allocation efficiency. It's much more comparable to the era of America's railroad tycoons than it is to economic development as we're accustomed to.

There's a relatively huge degree of waste, corruption and whatnot, but the goal isn't efficiency, it's effectiveness. Through these projects, even if a portion is ill-conceived, China is able to rapidly urbanise, avoid many of the pitfalls in regions with more incremental approaches, and also builds construction and planning knowledge (this one is very important) and finds a pathway for its export surplus.

It's the same approach China has taken to its tech industry. Is a lot of funding going to bogus projects? Yes, but they can afford it, and even if only a fraction pay off they'll consider it a win. Is it slightly mad to treat building a city like a VC investment? Sure, but then building company towns and new settlements and railroads seemingly randomly through a country was as well. And yet, when it works and it creates one new hub of innovation, it pays a hundred times over.

Load factor is the number of Gs the aircraft structure is supporting. In unaccelerated flight it’s 1. Straight and level, an established climb, and an established descent are all unaccelerated.

In a turn, an airplane experiences a higher load factor as a function of the bank angle. The lift from the wings is what makes the airplane turn. Since some of the lift is being diverted to the horizontal, the total lift must be increased to keep the airplane from sinking. The result is a higher load due to the acceleration in the turn.

The beginning of a climb or descent also changes load, but once established, the load returns to 1.

It has been obvious to intelligent observers since the self-driving car hype started that this hype is hugely overblown. My own opinion is that fully self-driving cars capable of competing with human drivers will remain a dream for at least two more decades. What really interests me is why and how the hype became so powerful, even among people who one would think would know better. How much of the hype is explained by stupidity and how much of the hype was created as a deliberate scam? I also wonder if maybe the military is more involved that people might think. After all, even if self-driving cars are decades away, the autonomous technology created as a product of self-driving car research can be already used, now, for military appications. A tank doesn't have to avoid killing people the way that a car on public roads does.
It's a ratio, so you could use a vertical accelerometer. But this isn't enough information to derive angle of attack even with airspeed. Of course, a plane can be in straight and level flight with 1.0 g loading, at 200kts, and maintain that with many different angles of attack due to weight and center of gravity differences, both of which are changing throughout the flight as fuel is consumed from tanks in different locations.

"Assange used the WikiLeaks Twitter account to attack the 2016 Panama Papers leaks, which disclosed a $2 billion overseas account of Vladimir Putin’s. Assange labeled the leak a US-sponsored plot to undermine Putin and Russia."

If that doesn't scream "I have no ethics" to you, I'm not sure what will.

I invited a collection of friends, not all of them knew each other, to meet every couple of weeks at a mediocre pizza shop in SF and discuss machine learning papers and articles. Some are PhD level experts, some are newbies, founders, all are engineers in industry or academia.

The group has devolved (or evolved) into lots of discussions of ethics in machine learning, online ads, etc. The last two sessions have been entirely centered around philosophy papers.

We've strayed a bit from math but it's a good group to learn with.

I think the choice of a shitty pizza shop is key. It's not popular so we always have room for the whole group of 9, we don't get distracted with exciting food options or drinking a lot. The only thing I don't like is that it's an all male group but hopefully that will change.

I am not conflating anything. The compilation model of the language does not permit such a thing, independently of implementations of any of those pieces. This is a crucial aspect of the design of the language and the edition system.

Think of it this way: crate A uses edition 2015. Crate B uses edition 2018. There’s only one copy of the standard library. It can’t be compiled both ways.

If, in theory, we let you have multiple copies of the standard library, maybe that could work, but that’s not possible nor desirable for a host of reasons.
Interesting that telomere length increased by 14% during flight! And, it can’t be related to a healthy lifestyle since they got shorter within 48hrs back on earth?

Notably, telomere length shortened rapidly upon TW’s return to Earth, within ~48 hours [FD340 ambient return to R+0 (R+ days post return); fig. S6B] and stabilized to near preflight averages within months.
This is fundamentally the wrong direction to go.

The clue is that MSWin running in a VM on Linux is faster than on hardware. The way forward is to boot Linux, or even something else, to manage hardware, memory, and filesystems, and cut down MSWin to run in a container on it. That way MSWin relies on the underlying OS to do things MSWin has proven to be just not very good at. MSWin runs programs written for it, reliably the same as non-hosted MSW, but is not subject to randomizing effects of manufacturers' drivers and MS's historically poor buffer and process management.

If you want MSWin to manage the screen, it can provide a way for an underlying OS program to work in a window it provides, and connect UI and clipboard events back to it. But MSWin is not really so great at display management, either, so it might be better for the underlying OS to manage that, too, as is done with VMs on X today.

> I like Musk's proposal for mostly autonomous tunnel driving because it actually seems much more feasible than handling every edge case known to man.

Maybe I'm just not familiar with the specifics of that proposal, but I don't think tunnels solve the problem you presented either. If I need to go down a one lane street to get to my house, I'll still need to do that whether we have tunnels or not, unless for some reason the tunnel exit is right in front of my house.

Personally, I think the solution is to make only make certain large, predictable roads self driving and force a user to take over on smaller more complicated roads. As technology advances, you can slowly add more and more of the smaller roads to the self driving map.
The even sadder part about this article... Buzzfeed does this worse. So it's not only the "pot calling the kettle black", it's someone calling someone out on things they do better than themselves.

But chasing the higher hanging fruits might allow for breakthroughs that you would not see if you only went for the low hanging fruits.

The range anxiety is less and less problematic with EV. The Tesla Roadster 2 already is said to have a range of more than 1.000 km. Add current research in the fields of solid state batteries and super capacitators and you have the possibility to reach those numbers even with less expensive versions of EV. German automakers already calculate that by 2026 electric engines will be cheaper and more capable than their ICE counterpart.

If you go for that easy middle ground like hybrid cars that you suggest, you limit yourself to the local maximum of that solution. Hybrid cars have the same maintenance cost as non hybrid cars and additionally the complexity of balancing both engines. The only saving in maintenance cost is by going full electric. In the same way you might only achieve certain breakthroughs by actually going for full autonomy even if it wont work perfectly for the next decades for all edge cases.
For dense urban areas land cost could exceed building cost. However for ghost cities land cost (defined as an opportunity cost) is low to begin with. While building material may have alternative use, if the labor used to build buildings don't have a lot of alternative use then the true economic cost of building a building may be below the headline cost as well.
My guess is that if anything, they'd turn Atom over to an external body to maintain and let it sink/swim on its own. Currently they seem to be fine with having both, which is cool. Maybe it is to have two separate teams work on different ideas and see which ones work and mainline it into Visual Studio Code? Not sure.

I wish Visual Studio Code replaced Visual Studio, but unfortunately, it still holds value if working against Microsoft's stack. I like having them both and will occasionally use Code for .NET edits, but you definitely feel like it is missing some comforts at the very least when using it.
I think the parent poster was suggesting that a human driven uber was here now - not an autonomous one (hence the "chat buddy"/driver)
Until now this has all been bullshit accusations. The "false positives" are very common in these security reports, because they want a warning when there might be an attack.

They do not list the numerous internal attacks that were reported too. These actually modified the votes. These votes can only be changed via physical access. But this is probably not politically interesting, and it involves corrupt staff members and such.

I have been following a lot of this kind of security news. But let's follow the money. Homeland security has already prepared a plan to take over the election system in all states (from before 2016). It seems to me that these accusations are used to push to take over the voting system.

Such a change would theoretically be good, but who watches the watchers? And why does DHS not report on the internal problems that actually changed votes?
Exception is also a result of supporting recoverable allocation/construction failures, IMO. When you need to support a failable Vec::new, what will be the type of its Error? There are two choices in this case:

a) wrap underlying errors into something like VecNewError, which is tedious due to the prevalence of errors if every construction/allocation can fail, kindly similar to the CheckedException dilemma

b) type erasing it by Box it or dyn Error, and use ? operator to transparently pass errors to upper level, in which case the user need to downcast with match to extract information needed, and exception is essentially the syntax sugar for this case because exception acts like a ? operator after all failable function calls

a) is usually used in a language where errors are rare, and b) is preferred when the errors are common.

My city has been doing half-ass cycling infrastructure implementations going back to the late 70s. Which each different era there were different designs and concepts. The network is patchwork and lanes stop and start arbitrarily. Intersections are more hazardous because drivers don't know what to expect. Road construction when bike lanes seems to get more hazardous. Often it's not clear what rules you should be obeying, like it's not clear if you should be acting like a pedestrian, a bicycle, or if you're vehicular traffic.

Our city implemented a pretty solid network of dedicated lanes downtown a couple years ago, much to the chagrin of angry drivers and the main benefit isn't the real estate that was given to cyclists so much as it is the real estate that was taken from cars. There's just less traffic, drivers are more attentive because they have more hazards to deal with, and they're moving slower. The traffic calming effect is, for me, the main benefit to having dedicated bike lanes.
Better than nothing, I guess, although FB deciding who is a reliable verification entity isn't all that great either.

I was thinking whether they can "hide" an extra AoA sensor under the hood for emergencies. Just like a landing gear can be put down or retracted, an AoA sensor can be kept inside the fuselage, and brought out only when necessary. Maybe this one sensor will have better lifetime/reliability since it is not exposed to outside conditions.

> Easy: don't put that road in the map.

Not reasonable. You'd be parking the car at least half a mile from where I live because it's full of these streets. Usually they're one car at a time because cars are parked on both sides of the street causing the streets to become just big enough for one car to get through.

For reference, I live in San Carlos (Bay Area). I've encountered this same issue in many other parts of the USA too. It's not uncommon at all.
