> Very common in 50% of the population.

Just to be clear here, you're asserting that lack of objectivity and paranoia are particularly common in women? If so, that's...really really sexist.
Let's make two points clear:

Point 1)

Tesla does not have SAE Level 5. It is an absolutely ridiculous claim. At most Level 3, but the SAE levels are kind of fuzzy between 2 and 3, so you could even argue level 2. [1]

Tesla Autopilot cannot and will not be able to deal with ALL situations that can possibly occur - which would be SAE Level 5. They are spouting marketing bullshit in face of their poor quarterly results. Most engineers in the space will agree that level 4 will be the highest level reached for decades - if ever. Showing an Autopilot in heavily trained-for area during perfect weather and road conditions with infinite retries for getting the video right means nothing.

This has to be viewed separate from some real progress and contributions that Tesla has made in the space. However, that doesn't mean they get to throw around the "Level 5" term yet. And they likely won't within the next decades. Level 5 is a whole other beast than Level 4 and nobody is even remotely close to get there.

Point 2)

Have you ever sat in a modern car beyond 1995? They ARE computers. And in most recent years, user access is widened. 10 years ago an onboard computer would calculate your air-fuel mix and you wouldn't ever interact directly with it. Today there are huge and ever growing interfaces and you can use voice control to make your car perform certain tasks.

So yes, software is eating up the industry. Doesn't mean the steel hunks disappear.

Right? It's nonsense. A grocery store isn't "food sharing", and a barber isn't "hair cut sharing". It's one party paying another for a product/service. Uber/Lyft's killer feature is the app pairing those two parties. But no one is "sharing".

"I think Assange has his past to thank for how his life situation panned out. In his younger age people actually cared about honouring the rights of the accused more so than today."

That's a pretty naive view of the justice system. I don't think it was better in the past at all.
I would say: It is better to have no "testomonial" at all than to quote yourself.

> as a hard dependency of GNOME to force distros to adopt systemd

Or because they like systemd and they think the abstractions it provides are useful and its better to not have that code in GNOME. But sure, lets go with the conspiracy angle.

Also, pure serve distros also adopted systemd.

> Those distros that can run without systemd have to make their own patches to "fix" GNOME, which is very costly.

Trust me, I don't take myself too seriously ;-)

Facebook responds with an overload of legal nonsense to discourage people from replying. I overload them with a lot of non-legal nonsense. In the end I just want my data—it's my legal right.
But are they allowed to set a price? If the app doesn't allow them to do it then maybe it is slightly different story. Maybe it is Uber of Lyft who manipulates the prices by punishing those who doesn't want to accept low-cost rides.
None of that makes any sense to me.

It's all open source.

Your last paragraph is absurd and internally inconsistent. Linux (the larger operating system environment) exists only because of its monolithic approach to kernel-space development. Far from suffering from it, it made it all possible when the utopia of the GNU kernel flat-lined.

Open source has succeeded because it was easy to improve and replace things piecemeal. But deciding that the individual pieces must begin and end at the process level is blinkered. You can perform "piecemeal improvements" to the scheduling component in systemd just as easily as you can to, say, cron.
My take: what is new? People want to own an $800 phone that can browse the web, do group chat, run apps etc. I get a kick out of modern ads, although they are probably effective (just not on me).

"Buy this $800 iphone 10x-r so you can send animated images to your grandma & grandpa. Or run an app that puts an smiley imoge over your face"

I understand for some people this is a great feature. Or how about being able to 'unlock your phone' with your face. Great that is totally cool (not), but sure go ahead and drop a grand on the new iphone if you want to.

I dont really agree with the article. Technically these group chats might be sending info over the wire. But normally i wouldnt really associate a group chat with "the internet".
And again we're back at my original question... This is just a never ending loop. My whole point is this: How do we separate our inherited traits from the privilege brought on by our "class"?

There's more to your second point: aren't smartphones still a computer connected to an almost-completely separate cell phone?

The ability to set hours isn’t the only distinction, but it’s an easy and obvious one to test. Using your own tools is another one: it’s a rare deck builder who shows up and asks to borrow your saw.

That said, there is a lot of grey area and it’s also true that a lot of jobs are misclassified. That doesn’t make the classification meaningless though, and I would thrilled if governments were more proactive about making sure people go the rights they’re entitled to.
It might be interesting to see, in a few decades, how the beneficiaries of this differ in future success from other comparable students.
In his younger age people actually cared about honouring the rights of the accused more so than today.

I'm older than Assange is, and I can tell you that is laughably wrong. I have grown up with the idea that if The Man(tm) wants to stick you with something, they'll find something that will stick, and I'm rarely disappointed. I'd bet a paycheck that one could find examples going back a thousand years. I know the phrase "don't poke the bear" has been around a lot longer than either Assange or I.
Wikileaks has an impeccable record. They’ve never had to retract a story. They’re also doing a duty to the public in uncovering government and corporate secrets, exactly what a journalist should be doing.
That's a good point, that the primary difference is the lack of bargaining power due to the way that demand for different types of work is viewed. Custodial work is viewed as being something that is in demand because only some people are willing to do it while engineering work is viewed as being in demand because only some people are capable of doing it. Your advice to use this to be one of the few people in the world who works in fair conditions is good advice.

I personally find that good work is difficult to source and beneficial in the long-term across all industries and skill levels. High employee turn-over of any kind makes it more difficult to hire, wastes money on training and recruiting and, in some notable cases, breeds resentment even among people who have never worked at that company or in that field (again, Amazon). Having employees who are sick due to lack of healthcare, pretending to be sick because it's the only way to get elected time off or, even worse, are coming to work sick because they don't have an option for paid time off is only going to cause more problems.
> Where did I say this was a good or bad thing? Nowhere.

You didn't. But nobody perturbs that many electrons if they don't have an opinion on the topic (and I'll be real, I've got one too but I'm not trying to cloak it in neutrality). And then we get this:

> In some way, the passenger is being taken advantage of.

This is nonsensical. It also proves out the hunch I expressed from my last post, so thank you for doing the legwork for me.

As to why it is nonsensical: the passenger is in no way being "taken advantage of", except insofar as Lyft and Uber already commit obvious fuckery on the regular. The prices are "being manipulated" all over the place--I get different prices on Uber than my girlfriend does when we're standing next to one another!--and there is no expectation that "outside forces" (oooooh) are somehow kept out of it.

The passenger is being given a price at which they will be transported. That's it. The driver is being given a rate at which they will do the transporting. That's it. If they both agree, the ride happens and Lyft/Uber take their cut. This is how a two-sided market maker is supposed to work.

I don't know why it would be okay for Uber and Lyft to fiddle-fart with prices but it's not okay for drivers to say "I won't drive for less than $X". Why are you choosing to shade, to preferentially "see the argument" against poor people when it means that they might make a little money using a market the way a market is supposed to work?
It's probably not the best practice to base arguments on outliers or anomalies. Yes, these numbers may be true for the Bay Area but almost certainly not the norm. The argument unravels quickly if applied to other markets.
Assange is definitely charged with a crime, namely refusing to surrender to the UK police when released under bail.
Possibly, though I have to admit I'm morbidly curious about what you're referring to.
What profession do you operate in?
I had completely forgotten about these directives! It's things like this that make me glad systemd is a choice, honestly.
Right. But the person that posted the link used the term "frame." Thus my question.

The FBI conducting an investigation and the FBI "framing" someone aren't comparable accusations, since one is lawful while the other is unlawful.

Linking that as proof that the FBI intended to "frame" anyone is a non-starter, it simply doesn't say that.
What uses are you seeing for it that the rest of us aren’t? I’m genuinely interested because their marketing makes it super challenging to see what the product is useful for.
> Just look at a modern scheduler and see what it saves whenever it context switches: that's your minimum set.

I'd call that an upper bound on the size of the minimum set, one that is guaranteed to work with any kind of program. With more info on the executing program you could probably save less state and still keep the program running fine
It's telling how dominant the (R)DBMS has become, when people can't imagine "database" meaning anything else.
Recursion is simple: It is just a function calling itself. The difficult part is that it is not getting out of control (e.g. never stops).

To make sure your function will stop calling itself you need an exit-condition. So whenever you want to write a recursive function, simply start with a template like this:

function myFunc(list) {
// exit condition
if (list.length == 0) {
// What should the function do if the exit condition is true
return
} else {
// before recursion
console.log(list[0])

// recursion
myFunc(list.slice(1))

// after recursion
}
}

So basically you have to think about when your function aborts the recursion, what it does before the recursion (e.g. extract an element from a list), how the recursive call is different from the original call (e.g. the list got reduced by one element) and after what it does after the recursive call (e.g. push a modified element to a stack). By answering those questions you should be able to solve a whole bunch of recursive problems.

Before I learned this pattern, my recursive functions were a mess. Now, they all adhere to that very template and I find it actually fun to write recursive functions as there are some problems which are a lot easier to solve with them.
Because someone who doesn't know better might think it needs to be opened and watered.
>Statistics. Garbage in, garbage out.

The problem isn't the statistics, and it isn't the solution either. Its the diagnosis data.

How do you quantify if someone is depressed? How depressed are they? How do you compare two people depression? It is an incredibly nebulous disease.

There was a BBC interview with Moreno where they asked him why he was kicked out and he brought up the cat story. They then asked him if it wasn't instead because Assange was a spy. He said no.

>A smartphone is a full fledge computer, which is a massive change from a dumb-phone (which capabilities were limited to calling and SMS).

I'm sorry, but this is the very blindness the old smartphone manufacturers exhibited. Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, RIM, they all had well-established offerings of smartphones with the on-paper capabilities matching, or rivaling, that of iPhone. Unified messaging, camera, keyboard, handwritten recognition, web browser, you name it. Even apps ecosystems. All good, right? And yet the iPhone won via software. And via the hype. And via the app store in the longer run. And via tight integration with other Apple offering in the longer run. And via upmarket, "cool" brand.

The customers were sold "the experience of future, today". Cringe? Sure, but it worked.

>An electric car has the same features as a gas car, with the exception that its drive chain has a different source of power.

Wrong, very very wrong. A gasoline car is goods sold via dealership network at about zero margins, with the tacit understanding the customer will be back frequently to change oil & filter & timing belt, service the engine (almost every new generation of ICE comes with serious deficiencies), upgrade firmware, and all the jazz. The money for the dealership is in the servicing, not in the initial sale.

An electric car is, for better or worse, mostly absent those services. You rotate tires, replace brake pads & shock absorbers once every several years, and that's that. Any money to be made is in the charging network, if at all.

There is a dual shift - software/perception/hype, and also the business model. The traditional vendors have already mostly figured out how to put electricity in cars (if at low efficiency); but they desperately need to un-learn how to sell cars via the legacy business model. Right now they aren't ready to ditch the dealerships, while at the same time they want to sell ever more of the dealership un-friendly electrics. Talk about stuck between rock and hard place.

Eh, a leech that took the brunt of the real estate crunch for the EU? A leech would have let the German banks fold instead of paying bond holders.

Slow walking is pushing it - the agreement to allow home countries be the enforcement authority put a massive burden on a really small country and its civil service. Ireland's population is 4.7 (about 1/2 that of London on its own).
Our DPC offices are overwhelmed by the number of requests, and hiring people to deal with the uptick is taking time.

The major flaw (among many) with Musk's self driving taxi Tesla vision is that it treats cities, the entities that control the roads the taxis would drive on, as passive entities that wouldn't make any peep of objection.

In reality cities have plans on the books to shift away from car oriented design whether it be electric or ICE. Additionally, cities now understand that ride hailing competes with and erodes the quality of public transit, with some accordingly capping ride hailing licenses.

Cities are not going to want the surge of congestion that self driving Tesla taxis would bring.
There's a difference in publishing classified content (which is what journalists do) and actually stealing that content (which is what whistleblowers usually do). AFAIK Assange did not steal anything but only published what he got.
They have to stop pretending they are a luxury brand and release a cheap tiny little box with knobs instead of an ipad that will compete with the leaf or any other subcompact. The price is just too high right now, and if they can't get it lower then it sucks that they entered this market too early to benefit from the economies of scale on EV tech that might come years later. Any other automaker has other revenue streams to wait decades even for this to happen, but Tesla has 10 months to live.
No but this gives progressives even more fuel for the fire of discontent, maybe it encourages one more person to jump off the Trump train, doubtful, but it adds more sour to the GOP brand, and they already make warheads seem like werther's originals.
