> Because you have value. Unless you're literally hitler, you have value, and probably a lot of it actually.

This is such an economists view on humanity and I can't help but wonder that assigning 'value' to people is part of what leads to increased suicide rates in the West in the first place.

You want this person to stay alive and continue suffering, because they represent value to you. Dead, they are of no value to you.

It's not the person's well-being you're interested in, it's what they can offer you to make your own life easier.

How is that not selfish but ending your own suffering is?
World of Goo was a great example from the early Android days of what people thought the future of mobile gaming would be. High quality games that could be controlled with tapping and swiping.

Unfortunately it turned out to be mostly games preying on the impatience of the player to make microtransactions.

I was simply making an observation of Facebook's business model.

It employs staff whose entire job consists of making Facebook's product more addictive; to keep people clicking, liking, viewing and handing over data to facilitate their being tracked all over the internet.

Heroin dealers often employ people to make their shit more addictive too. Yet we don't sit here musing about how much 'value' they've added to a society that clearly wants their product.
IIRC the data they used was their own, that is, they seeded a pirated version onto the known suspects themselves and through the online functionality (iirc a leaderboard of creating the highest tower) were able to detect it.

The point that was attempting to be made, which I agree with, was along the lines of the bank having the power to take it back means that they ultimately have control, regardless of the technical legal terms that indicate that the homeowner owns, well, the home. You REALLY own it after the mortgage is paid off and the bank has no interest in it. Same thing with vehicles. They're leinholders, which the first Google result defined as:

A lienholder is a lender that legally owns your property (a car, for example)
until you pay it off in full. The lender — which can be a bank, financial
institution or private party — holds a lien, or legal claim, on the property
because they lent you the money to purchase it.

https://www.allstate.com/tr/car-insurance/learning-about-lie...

Edit: legally they DO differ, but they're the same in that they allow the lender to take back the property in the event of non-payment. Therefore, even though you might legally technically own a property with a mortgage, the bank still has the ability to take it away from you, so do you REALLY control it? https://www.quora.com/How-do-a-lien-and-a-mortgage-differ

>> Assuming they are real, the aliens do not act in a way consistent with a goal-directed intelligence, which means they are not the product of evolution, which means they are something so strange that the idea of befriending or defeating them makes no sense.

This. If - and that's a big if - we assume previous bizarre aerial activities observed by humans were in fact of ET origin, then it's only natural to think of those ETs more like AI (robots) that don't necessarily share our goal-oriented intelligence, but rather possess higher levels of intelligence and their own agenda. As a result, you're right; we wouldn't even begin to understand their purpose cause theirs just has no counterpart in humans.

Exactly this. Every sufficiently complex program that refers to graphs DO have those graphs. They are either in a separate document, or in the programmers head, or (poorly) added to the source code. There are plugins (e.g. for Visual Studio) that will render images refered to by file paths, in the editor. For complex graph-related stuff I imagine that can be pretty neat.
Inflation is normally shorthand for "basket of goods" inflation, which notoriously /does not/ include housing costs. That's how we've had "low inflation" whilst having a bubble in housing and equity, because these forms of wealth are excluded. Which works out because you can have a mostly silent concentration of wealth without people screaming about this big indicator.

The main difference is that most Windows apps are statically linked. A game from 1998 will very often come with its own set of .dlls that were built with the game and unless the underlying Win32 api changed, they should "just work". On Linux it's also possible to statically link libs, but it's far less common to do so - most apps rely on the libs in the system. Which in theory is a great thing, your app will always use the latest, safest version of whatever library it needs(while the windows app continues using the unsafe 1998 version of libs for instance). But of course in practice people who make the libs can't test their changes with every single app in existence, so inevitably the back compatibility gets broken, and Linux does have the issue of "oh I installed some system updates and now this app that always worked doesn't work anymore". Again, in theory apps are supposed to say which libs they need and package managers should respect that. But theory and real life are not necessarily the same.

This.It is already happening. For example, for annotations in some PHP frameworks. The annotations are created as comments in some specified format and then the framework uses reflection to read and parse those comments. Some IDEs can also parse those comments making it somewhat similar to what GP suggested although in a very primitive and simplified form

I explicitly talked about how the job market is affected. If your only real options are to buy or to queue for a decade, that requires you to commit to a long-term plan if you want to move to Stockholm for work.

This means you can't grab quick opportunities, you can't move to Stockholm on a whim to try your luck, so local companies and the local economy suffers. Fewer people move to Stockholm than who otherwise would, which means the city misses out on potential growth. It's an inefficient allocation of the work force on a national level.

There might be some social good to artificially restricting the growth of your most important economical urban centers, but I highly doubt it.

The supposed benefit of rent control is that attractive inner-city apartments are cheap. Sure. But since rents are based on utility value instead of location or attractiveness or market value, this means that unattractive apartments two hours from the inner city cost as much to rent as comparable ones in the inner city. It's impossible to save money by renting in a less attractive area. Normal cities have some sort of parity between cost-to-own and cost-to-rent, regardless of area. In Stockholm instead, this parity changes dramatically depending on your distance from the inner city!

Another second-order effect from rent control is that having an attractive rental apartment in Stockholm suddenly has value. This makes people reluctant to let go of an apartment once they have it, which makes them reluctant to move away to pursue other opportunities elsewhere, even if that would be the better choice. Still, if you have one, you can rent it out on the second-hand rental market, so now you've created a class of rentiers, the people that have gone through the Soviet bread-queue can now cash in on that scarcity. But I thought rent control was about fairness?
Do they not have Rumble strips in the US?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_strip

I have been in situations in my youth where I was commuting or travelling tired, and nothing alerts you like the loud rumbling sound, and I'm sure the autopilot could detect it and bring the car to a stop if the driver hasn't been alerted by the in car warning system or the rumble paint...
It's disheartening that this med is being used to treat infants and they wouldn't even leave those helpless babies alone. Healthcare is a $3.5 trillion dollar per year industry and is powering 20% of U.S economy, but I think the problem goes a lot deeper and further than just the medical field. This is a systematic issue across all industries where profits are increasingly being prioritized above everything else, even when it involves the most basic and essential human values.

Is the rapid increase of population part of the cause? Overpopulation often means the value of each individual will be decreased since anyone is now easily replaceable and becomes irrelevant. There are no signs this trend is going to stop anytime soon. I fear there has to be a massive catastrophic event to happen in order to trigger any societal changes at this level.
I think you're being overly harsh. Literally the only difference is

overrides={{ Item: { component:

instead of:

renderItem={

(personally I'd probably have a shortcut to allow leaving "{ component:" off though)

I don't think that's a bad tradeoff to render props support (plus prop/style overrides) support across your entire component library in a consistent way.

Radar seems to work pretty damn well for the adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking installed in hundreds of models of cars made over the past 5+ years.

If autonomous systems needs more redundancy, the solution is to keep adding more cameras.

The other sensor which I think is important is data captured by cars in that fleet. This is sort of what's known as "HD maps" but fully automated and based purely sensor-derived data. So if you're driving down a highway at night in the rain, your car would know the successful paths traversed a few hours ago when it was dry and sunny.
Isn’t that like saying the most depraved of devout Mormons? It’s technically a defined concept with a sensible meaning but the connotations are misleading.
Any language should be if not developed by the tool developer, at least developed with tooling in mind.

Compiliation for an editor (partial/incremental) is a very different beast from "normal" compilation, and any compiler that is first completed for regular compilation and then tries to address tooling as an afterthought, will ultimately never be useful in tools.

I realize writing a new compiler is hard enough in itself, but projects like the Roslyn poject shows it's at least feasible to make a compiler-as-a-service with both regular compilation and tooling in mind.
People developing safety critical embedded systems using ANSYS’ SCADE Suite would disagree about nobody having written useful programs using pictures and prose.

> Driver was obviously over confident

I wouldn’t assume that. Videos of this exact scenario prove that the reaction time required is on the order of a few seconds.

Everything Tesla says here exaggerates driver culpability, like saying he received “multiple warnings” (15 minutes ago and completely unrelated). Don’t let that hypnotize you into thinking he was being irresponsible here. There may have been other factors at play such as getting blinded by the sun during those few critical seconds of Autopilot error.
What got Boeing into problems is management overpromising something engineering couldn't deliver, just like Tesla is doing with "autopilot."

Boeing promised a brand new and improved jet that was cheaper because it packed in a bunch of improvements without having to go through certification on a new airframe or pilot retraining. Engineering tried their best but either through negligence or "just following orders" and bureaucracy they failed catastrophically, as any engineer will tell you would happen with a non-redundant (in a 3+ vote configuration) sensor that could override pilot control inputs based on faulty readings
Siri is still half deaf and tries to send me to the chip shop when I ask it to send a message and they have a ridiculous amount of budget behind that so probably not.

This depends how you implement rent control. The UAE market has rent controls - the landlord is only allowed to adjust rents within a % and if the rental index of the area is more than 10-15% higher than what you are currently paying. They are also building plenty of new housing to help keep rents stable. This second part is key - and needs to be there for this to work. Your comments assume a rental market that is not increasing in supply.
You could probably get 90% of the utility with a janky collection of shell scripts fronted by a voice recognition engine. Think Alexa/Google Assistant/Siri/etc with a bunch of company- or task- specific scripts. I purposefully ignore the robot-arm in an open universe capability, because that's still too far away, AFAIK.

Jarvis in the movie was Hollywood smooth: made to look great in a movie. Even the goofs were great, and it behaved like a puppy, to be likable to the audience. You don't need that in a work assistant. But if you remove that, plus the robot-arm, you're left with a voice controlled Outlook assistant, which is useful, but not sexy.

> Why do they still do this? What's the point if not trying to mislead the public?

You're answering your own question there; they're doing it not with assumed evil intent ("let's lie about the safeties so that people kill themselves ! meuahahah") but for PR and stock reasons, but it ends up being the same result: they want people to see autopilot as "it drives for you" if you're a car buyer or an investor, but they also want people to see it as "it's just a helper, it doesn't drive you need to drive" if you're a regulatory agency, a judge or a customer that got into a crash.

As for the stats comparison removing motorbikes is a big one sure, but you could go one step further and take into account only the miles on free/highway and let's compare it again, because if the US is anything like here in France most accident are in the 15 Km around the drivers' home (probably because the driver feel "safer" because he knows the road) and that's also when autopilot is the least likely to be on. Meaning they're comparing themselves with a lot of miles where they're not competing.

And even further than that, no matter how safe/unsafe you are, if all your crash ends up with "the driver should have been handling the wheel but wasn't" then it doesn't mean all those drivers did it wrong, for me it's more a case of "you disengage/safety system is incapable of handling a case that's causing fatalities yet is common enough that all your crash report point at it".

I'm really inclined to believe renting homes shouldn't be legal, perhaps, because eventually you wind up with a situation where no one even has the option of buying their own house.

I disagree. Home renting has all sorts of societal benefits and allows folks to be mobile when needed. Perhaps you are just going to be in the area for a couple of years, yet would like to have space for your dog to run, for example. Or need to divide your large, old house up so you don't have to move. It also means young folks can move out of the house and that everyone gets the choice of sharing walls with a neighbor.

Money and income is a much bigger indicator of whether or not someone can buy a house. If slews of people cannot save up money for a down payment, these folks cannot do such a thing. Bad zoning laws and other such things naturally influence it as well.

I'm assuming a rental market that isn't increasing in supply because that's the case that rent control is designed to address. If you're building enough supply to keep market-level rents low then rent control becomes irrelevant.
