I dunno, if I were a driver I'd probably be pretty annoyed by hearing one end of a loud conversation for an entire long ride.

Generally in the rides I'm in the driver is still listening to whatever music they like, which obviously they can't do if the passenger is trying to have a phone conversation.
Oh, almost certainly! Failing to listen to warnings beforehand, and then after an incident wanting to suppress the knowledge that there were warnings, are very likely to be correlated. Not only that, there's usually a lot of money involved, and admitting company fault could be legal liability, or I would assume that's the fear anyway.

I'm just curious if there are any well-known cases of companies doing right by the people who tried to avert the accident, of companies admitting it was a management mistake as opposed to letting their fears / liability concerns / embarrassment steamroll the only people who did the right thing.
The effort is against the Public Funding of ecars and infrastructure by contacting previous employees. Title is misleading and a half, and eco-political clickbait.
Bye bye Chrome...it was good while it lasted, although you have become a bit of a resource hog in recent years.
"In the US, where there is no such requirement - the only way to access the bank account is to emulate a browser."

Not entirely correct. In the US, JPMorganChase, Intuit, and others have adopted the OFX standard (consortium-based, which provides #2) as a more secure, controlled API alternative to browser emulation.
Some drivers ABSOLUTELY do downrate passengers for "not being friendly" (aka not wanting to blab the whole ride).
I work on a similar project but WinForms, but not as mission critical as a hospital setting. I'm currently decoupling UI from application logic as much as possible, and will move from .Net Framework to .Net Core 3.0 when it launches this year. At that point, I'll begin replacing WinForms with client-side Blazor. When there's just one current version of .Net again with .Net 5's release in 2020, those transitions will be seamless since I'll already be on .Net Core 3.0.

Full-stack C# which grants me easy flexibility on what I want to happen client vs server-side, with near-native performance. I can drop a Safari shortcut on home screens for iOS, and an Edge link on desktops for Windows. If you wanted some sort of iOS specific behavior that you can only access from there, the application could be wrapped in a webview. It'll also be seamless to package it as an Electron app for Ubuntu support. I don't intend to go with Electron or put it in a native iOS app, just browser links for whatever platform they want to use, but there's plenty of flexibility.

This is a webapp-done-right in my opinion and really a PWA. Perhaps the path I've set out for myself would work for you. The application I work on is critical to the daily functions of a large business, but not "medical grade", so I may be able to work on the knife's edge a bit more.
"Private" in the sense of "not government-owned".

As opposed to public agencies such as the Post Office, or a quasi-public corporation such as Amtrak.
> Firefox is available on all platforms (including Chrome OS via the Android or Linux app)

Maybe this is a viable solution on brand new chromebooks, but on my Acer R11 both Android apps and Linux containers run pretty poorly. I use an Android app as my password tool just fine, but trying Firefox was a rather poor experience. And the linux container just dogs trying to do anything.

I have Ubuntu loaded on via crouton (to use tools like GIMP or actual VLC), but if chrome gets rid of ad blocking that removes much of the point of ChromeOS for me entirely.
My job is not investigating phishing but security is everyone's job. Reporting what was obviously a targeted phishing attack to the people who do investigate phishing is a basic expectation. Now before you try to tell me "well you should've forwarded the email and been done with it" those guys are going to be pissed as fuck if I pass along every spam link trying to sell me boner pills, so I've got a duty to make sure it's a credible threat. As somebody who knows how to safely investigate such a link and did exactly that it was ridiculous to be penalized. Security (albeit not for email) is a part of my job. I don't think people should be trained not to use their brains when it comes to security threats. If people used their brains more often phishing would hardly be a problem to begin with.

I found this post highly editorialized. Here's the actual response if you want to understand the context, instead of simply seeing bits and pieces with a journalist's spin.

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chrom...

Also, the headline seems mostly incorrect. The gist of it, as I understand, is that Chrome is enforcing a migration from the webRequest API to a new declarativeNetRequest API. The latter API doesn't currently have all the capabilities of the former, which is important for context blocking extensions. However, features are still being added and the team states that they are interested in more feedback from extension developers.

Back when I lived in Las Vegas, I had heard that the monorail didn't go to the airport because of lobbying/complaints from Taxi companies. If true, I suspect a tunnel would meet a similar fate.
You don't need to choose the library but there's still the same amount of documentation to wade through, the amount of learning is the same.

although, code separation is native in React now and if you think http clients is still a thing you're too far into the Angular ecosystem to be helped.

Disclaimer up front: I work for GM, and previously worked in a plant. Any opinions are my own.

Besides all the larger questions of politics and automation, it really awesome to be part of a team that builds 1000 vehicles a day. Seeing them roll off the end of the line never stops being cool. In IT, your project may last for months and you only see small changes happen slowly over time. In the plant you see parts come together into a complete vehicle over the course of a day.

In IT, if a site or service is down, you know it's a problem, but in manufacturing if the line stops you can see hundreds of people just sitting there.

---

People talk about automation like it's new. Automakers have been automating from the very beginning. Designing and building cars is a big job. Designing and building the machine that builds the cars is also a big job. The machine that builds the cars is made of suppliers, trucks, railroads, robots, conveyors, information systems, and yes, people.

Line workers look like people to you and me, and they certainly are people; but to the machine that builds cars they look like extremely capable but slightly inconsistent robots.
Is this applicable to chromium too or just chrome? Would like to see how Microsoft approaches this with their new browser
If these people are claiming to be Christian, then they're doing it wrong and I'd argue they're not Christian.

We definitely do not enforce tailgating enough at DoD. I find it best to stand aside at let people pass before I swipe. The funny thing is that they have security that ensures there is ample space between us, but still some jackhole wants to bend the rules because they are special.
Sorry, I wasn't clear: they have two checkboxes for each languages, one for past use and another for future wish.
> Some codeless solutions version control behind the scenes, but testing and regressions are not really part of what the end user thinks about. Again, this is a question of maintainability and scale. Small companies may not need the overhead. Until they grow and suddenly they do.

Please pardon my ignorance, as I've never worked in software development. Could you please explain what you mean by 'overhead', and also how a lack of testing/regressions in low-code programs would be a roadblock as the company or application scales?

As an aside, I love your analogy of code as "calcified business process". I've heard several low-code 'success stories' of business users without CS experience learning how to build apps, and they often comment that one of the most difficult things was learning to think in terms of the rigidity of code. Sometimes I ponder whether the true value of low-code platforms is simply that they teach non-coders how to think about business-level problems in terms of logical systems, rather than fluidly, which is how they experience them.
I'm under the impression that their costs are cheaper right now because public agencies are eager to see a working test case and so exempted them from environmental clearance. I doubt that will still be the case when the scheme changes from "a single tunnel from Musk's home in Bel-Air to his work in Hawthorne" to "hundreds of stacked tunnels traversing the entire city." But I'm open to corrections.
I'm the same way though I have a 5.0 -- but it's because I don't want to lose it! However, I feel as if I'd care less once my score is no longer "perfect"... It's a similar game to me as working on/keeping credit scores at an ideal number.

"Need"? Legally, yes, but practically, no. "Hackintoshes" exist. VM's capable of running macOS are a few Google searches away. You are trading time for money going that route though.
Board game apps are one of the few categories of apps people are still willing to pay more than a couple of bucks for (probably because it's still a lot cheaper than buying the physical game), but they do go on sale from time to time. Keep an eye out and they'll probably go on sale for at least 50% off at some point.
Indeed, this is not a new thing.

"For every job, so many men, so many men noone needs." Written in the Thatcher days, inspired by the Depression, still relevant today.

These are complicated issues, which are not solved by soundbites on TV or vague, unrealistic promises to keep the status quo in eternity. I agree that some kind of job mobility is required in the long run; the real question is how much of it is needed. I hope the answer is not "a lot", especially among those who have or earn less.
Am I the only one who looked at BLS statistics for demand by job designation in high school before deciding on what school to go to and what to study?

Although, even though actuaries were in extremely high demand, that did not interest me in the least. :)
It's about what could also. Every Chinese company with > 50 employees has a representative of the Communist party on the board.

It's defined by law and law works very differently in China.
I’m not seeing the numbers you quoted on the linked page, but I see a $2b project to add a 3rd rail to an existing 10 mile stretch (LIRR), $2.4b for a mile+ of new tunnels and a new station (Flushing), $10b for the East Side project which entails a massive new terminal and 10,500 ft of new tunnels....

I think the theory is that these mega train stations where thousands of people walk through every hour to embark/disembark is one vision of transit, one which can serve an extremely dense metropolis, but also one which is terribly difficult to expand and maintain, as we see in NYC.

Now maybe the future is that people coming into and through the city are stopping at waypoints at the outskirts and switching on to subways which run at a fixed schedule and carry masses of people in long convoys to fixed destinations, where they then have to transfer to buses or walk to their destination. Carrying luggage or packages or even just keeping children close in these environments is stressful and requires vigilance.

Alternatively, a fully autonomous transport can pick up someone or some family at their door, and bring them directly to their destination. It can carry your luggage in the trunk. It has seats for all your party and is quiet enough to carry on a conversation or work. It plays the music you want as you go. Etc... Most importantly it works on a dynamic schedule and can accommodate any arbitrary pickup and drop off point non-stop. You can pay for different classes of service, different capacity, maybe even different transit speeds.

These are fundamentally different modes of transportation. Boring is not trying to lower the cost of fixed point mass transit hubs, nor are they going to iterate in their idea until they end up building a subway. I think it’s important to admit that fixed point transport hubs are not in fact the ultimate solution to all personal transit.

For the [rather large] share of transport which is done in personal vehicles, wouldn’t it be incredible to have a solution that’s better than the massive cost of surface roads and surface parking everywhere you look?
Another related issue is that tokens are bearer instruments controlled by whoever holds the right private keys.

Most investments regulated in the US cannot legally be bearer instruments. This means there must be a ledger listing who owns what with real names attached. For public companies they must use a registered transfer agent to keep these ownership records. Private companies can keep their own records, but in most cases cannot use bearer instruments. What happens if I transfer you the token if there is a master ownership ledger with names and addresses? Nothing happens. The token record becomes out of sync with reality is the only thing that happens.
Dumb question: is close() the same as fsync() for getting data written?
In Sweden, where taxes pay tuition, it costs about $4500 per year to educate a student in humanities and twice that in STEM. The salaries are of course lower though.
Firing people for this would leave the entire company in a state of fear. Have you seen those sci-fi dystopias where a script or AI unfairly decides the fate of people...?
You're not wrong about what it boils down to, but, I'm all for it. I didn't mind ads, generally, until I did. Until they started hijacking your browser, redirecting you, doing popups. Ad people have shown they cannot be trusted on the whole. What Brave seems to be doing is doing their own 'safe ads' system, and sharing the money. It will likely be less for the content creators, but as a 'at-my-wits-end-with-ads' Brave user, I just don't care.

Bisq has that and has been around for years. Want a single, stable, smooth and fast fiat gateway with strong guarantees like you have on he realized exchanges? I think that's fundamentally incompatible with not having intermediaries. As others mentioned,calling IDEX decentralized is weasel-wording at best. It's a hybrid.
I see plenty of jobs that want Mongo experience and some that still want Ruby. Of course the fundamentals of SQL and relational database theory have been a useful skill forever. Even more specifically both SQL Server and MySQL have been popular for over two decades.

The web was already popular by 2000 and knowing HTML and JS would have been a no brainer.
A graduate from the University of Waterloo would be considered the equal of one from Stanford given equal results. That isn't the case now.

As a student at Waterloo right now, I'd love for this to happen but I don't believe it would be the case. Even if examinations were standardized across all schools, employers would simply shift to some other metric, such as course grades.

Now that I think about it, how would it even be possible? The Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo offers over 300 undergrad (not including grad school!) courses alone! The vast majority of these courses are unique to the school. Are you suggesting we wipe that out and force a standardized curriculum? Or are you suggesting we have standardized examinations in:

* Algebraic Topology

* Analysis of Spatial Data in Health Research

* Calculus of Variations

* Control Theory

* Fluid Mechanics

* Game Theory

* Lebesgue Integration and Fourier Analysis

* Matroid Theory

* Professional Communications in Statistics and Actuarial Science

* Property and Casualty Pricing

* Quantitative Enterprise Risk Management

* Quantum Information Processing

* Real-Time Programming

* Semidefinite Optimization

* Software Requirements Specification and Analysis

I could go on and on and on... I think you get the point. Math profs are constantly creating new courses based on areas of active research. How are you going to standardize examinations for those things? Every university offers different things!

Would you support universities having the freedom to sell grades? $100,000 for a first class degree, $150,000 for a masters? No study needed.

For-profit "colleges" did just that, until they were shut down. What you've described is usually called academic fraud. If Stanford did that, their reputation would be obliterated overnight.

Look at the ongoing story over the admissions bribery scandal. It's a HUGE story and it's only a case of fabricated athletic credentials for admissions, never mind fabricated degrees. I'm not worried about this problem at all.

Thats a good question. I bet per child we are prob spending 2K-3K all told. Still way less than private school. Granted we also bring in a reading tutor and music teachers. But I am including all the camps and classes.
I think the technology would be to send a dumb robot to an S-type asteroid, to mine it for silica-associated metals, very slowly, using solar power. The Mg and Ca dust pellets would be wrapped in aluminum foil and thrown at Jupiter, or solar-sailed to it. Another dumb robot would catch the packets, add H2 pumped up from Jupiter's upper atmosphere or electrolyzed from water on Europa or Callisto, and throw the hydride packet at Venus, where it would crash into the planet completely unattended and react in the atmosphere. At no point do those miners support human habitats. They can also throw other raw materials at Earth-Moon L4 and L5, for station construction.

After 1000 years of dumb robots throwing foil-wrapped-dust-balloons at each other, and at Venus, a ton at a time, Earth throws some algae and extremophile vent bacteria at Venus. Then, after another 1000 years, you maybe have a planet ready to be landed on without immediately being crushed and burned by the hellish sky.

This is not mutually exclusive with building in-space colonies, or with terraforming other celestial bodies.

And we can build vacuum-breathing space robots now. Building a space habitat that can support an Earth-life ecosystem indefinitely is currently beyond our means, if not our abilities. Space robots playing catch is easier.
Ugh! What happens when you are travelling to a different City? I have seen different rating patterns in different cities where my rating goes up if I am in a certain city for an extended period. So, I would assume that city has on average a higher rider rating. Will they calculate my average from that city's rides?

Also, if they are taking into account that city's ratings if I travel to a new country what's the threshold number of rides to calculate my new rating? Will I be randomly locked out of Uber in the middle of night in a foreign city.
Forgive the potentially dumb question but I'm pretty green in the crypto and finance spaces. What's the business value here? As in, why has this been funded so heavily? Does 0x take a cut of all trades on 0x powered exchanges and marketplaces? Or is the data that holds the value?
> Fix public schooling in the US first

This is like people saying to fix the bus system before adding bus lanes that would increase congestion for cars. The system is broken because smarter kids or kids who come from more educated families are escaping it. The effect is that public schools in the US are becoming like public transportation in the US: only those who don't have any other option are using it.
We can achieve a lot on top of unreliable components, buggy kernels, buggy firmware. Make unbelievably reliable systems. But can't, if we assume we can rely on unreliable components. This is what bad engineering is.

"If you are refuting the article..."

The article made no mention of public relations nor Bernays. I was responding to a comment that cited a YouTube description. I am familiar with Curtis' documentaries, including the one in the video. I enjoy them. However, I believe he makes them as art, for entertainment purposes, not as a teaching tool. His comments in interviews seem to support this view.
In my office we can get into trouble for this. However, they always send a magic header in the email to get through the firewall. My solution: filter out emails with the header.
Not all at once. A ton at a time, for a long time. That was just an illustration of magnitude.

Also, you have to mine and refine the rocks, so that the pure metals can be turned into hydrides. Ceres wouldn't have enough hydrogen just as itself.

It could still work as olivine to carbonate weathering. Cut Ceres up into pea-sized gravel, and drop it onto Venus, then use a solar shade to cool off Venus enough that metal carbonates don't immediately calcine into metal oxides. The exposed rock would suck up some of that CO2. No ocean, though.

I rather like my buildings' set up for this—

We have passcarded doors and then inside we have gates like many subway stations do that are timed only long enough for one person to pass through.

So I can hold the door open for someone on the way in—especially if they have their badge out— but there's nothing I can do about those giant plexi gates once inside. They have to swipe.
