Option 3 can work really well. Narcos had folks speaking in Spanish with most of the world reading subtitles. As someone not from South America, it felt more authentic than if Escobar was speaking English throughout.

Of course, I'm glossing over the fact that the actor playing Escobar didn't sound like he was from Colombia at all, but that's not apparent to most of us non-Spanish speakers.
I once met a rich guy (owned an American hotel franchise) backpacking in Viet Nam.

We were both waiting for the overnight train somewhere, and ended up in the same compartment. At the destination, I checked into the hostel, and he checked into the 5-star hotel. He came by the hotel bar later to share stories, and bought everyone a drink.

(This wasn't especially off-the-beaten track, even 10 years ago, but there were simply fewer tourists then.)
Why resort to innuendos when you can just ask directly whether I "put money in [my] pockets"?
Doesn't look significantly worse than a regular website with the adblocker turned off, tbh. At least the Million Dollar Homepage isn't animated, and doesn't auto-play sound.
I can't really agree with that. Kids drawing swastikas in schools need to be clearly told that they can't do that, and the reason why. Ignoring such behavior is just going to normalize it and create an environment where anti-Semitism can thrive. (And please don't act like there is no anti-Semitism in Poland.)

My Alfa Romeo (and all recent Alfa Romeos in the US) don't have touchscreens. The screens are in touch range and they have CarPlay and Android Auto, but you have to use the wheel with them.

I got used to it pretty quickly and after a week or two I don't really have to look at the screen to do 99% of things I need to do. It seems much safer to me, though it was annoying at first.

Like with C++ though, chances are you will not be working on a "modern" project and will have to deal with patterns like random nulls, APIs based on extending framework classes etc
> I'd argue that it's not exactly "better", but more that it just makes different tradeoffs.

Yes, it makes tradeoffs that are different, and those tradeoffs are different in that they're better. Often, not always. That's the statement in a nutshell.

> Using a full well-written* dependency for something not part of your "core competency" (even something seemingly trivial) is often a better choice in my opinion.

If it's outside your core competency, you can't really judge if a dependency is well-written. Popularity is an entirely unreliable quality metric. "Well-tested" also means nothing, a lot of people write completely useless unit tests but still fail on integration. How much time are you going to spend researching and vetting the code and the development "team" for that "seemingly trivial" dependency? How about writing a few lines of code and building a little bit of understanding instead? You can still use other people's code as a reference, even copy parts of it.

> That dependency will often know the "unknown unknowns" to you since their "whole purpose" is solving that one issue.

Sure, a few lines of code may have unknown unknowns. You know what else has? Other developers. Unbeknownst to you, "the team" could be the left-pad guy, who turns out to be "political". "The team" could be the guy that just hands over an unmaintained repository to a cryto-thief from China. That one took several weeks to get noticed by the community.

You start with one little dependency for one use-case, you end up with hundreds if not thousands of dependencies. You realistically have no capacity to deal with this in a diligent manner.

One could argue that by using "modern Javascript" with its pathological reliance on micro-dependencies, one has already given up control to the hive of random developers anyway, so one more dependency wouldn't hurt. I probably would agree with that. That doesn't mean every Javascript program would be better off this way.

Not even true in theory. A human and a computer can disagree and be less safe.
what about the old roads?
how does the rate of radioactivity added to the air compare to farming? Plants with deep roots also extract radioactivity from the ground and then we eat it.

this is a serious question, which of course ties into the concept of "banana equivalent dose", which helps to contextualize claims about radioactivity.
Really looking forward to using this. Our local Council has a few air quality monitors in strategic places and publish the results as open data. However, they are 6 months behind in publishing data and have recently declared a "air quality emergency". They also state "Currently the level of interest in air quality appears to be rising, but this does not
seem to translate into interaction between the Council and the local communities".

And, sensibly, stuff you would use while dogfighting or landing are switches and buttons. That, and things that have to always work like the radio and artificial horizon.
I said people need to navigate while driving, which is almost a tautology. That is to say, while I’m driving I need to know where I’m going. Sometimes I already know from memory, sometimes I’m consulting an external source.

Whether that external source is a sticky note on the steering wheel, a phone, audible prompts, or a big touchscreen in the center of the vehicle (TM3), the driver is going to decide which to use based on the options available to them at the time.

What the driver is not going to do is pull over at an exit to stop the car and check if that was the exit they were supposed to take, and then get back on the highway and keep going.

The absolutist stance does not actually increase safety. In the absolutist stance, well people don’t need to drive at all. To design safe systems in the real world that save lives you need to provide an alternative that is both safer and as easy to use. Because a safer alternative that drivers don’t use by choice because it’s too annoying or inconvenient doesn’t actually improve overall fleet safety.

Obviously when you operate a vehicle you don’t always just look straight out in front of you. You check your mirrors. You check your blind spots. You maintain situational awareness and do that safely by planning where you focus your attention from one moment to the next. Screens are obviously not “out”, nor is it correct to say that looking at a screen while driving is unsafe. Instruments, whether for navigation or simply indicating current vehicle status such as fuel, speed, lights, etc. are an integral part of driving and digital instruments are not necessarily less safe than analog, and can potentially be more safe.

And so returning to my original point, in my personal experience, the large touchscreen in the TM3 is ideally suited for safe navigation, and improves safety when navigating particularly on an unknown route, by presenting crucial information in extremely visible and usable form, and allowing me to configure and interact with the system naturally and efficiently while I proceed along my route.
I own two cars with CarPlay, one use a touchscreen (VW) and the other a rotary knob/button (BMW). I much prefer the knob - with the touchscreen, I have to focus on the screen for a longer period of time to make sure my finger hits the right spot. With the rotary knob, I still have to glance over, but only enough to ensure the correct "button" is highlighted. That feels less distracting to me.

All that said, I try to use voice control whenever possible. But, that's not yet a complete solution, as Apple keeps Siri from accessing non-Apple apps (can't voice control into Pandora or Google Maps).
May as well RF shield your house at that point.

You could easily convert HOV lanes into Automated Driving lanes. And if we have the ability to fund HOV lanes, we could also fund Automated Driving lanes.

Self driving cars are already dependent on standard infrastructure markings such as lane lines, and whenever those markings are confusing or faded it has lead to fatal crashes, such as the fatal Tesla crash on 401.

I predict self driving will not fully succeed until we build infrastructure to support it into the roads.
Went to high school there in the 1980's when DEC was riding high, and had offices in Nashua, and probably other places in NH. They donated VAX 11/7xx machines to both our middle and high schools, and it was a boon to my eventual career.

Took Fortran, Pascal, and C classes before college thanks to them. There was even a "DEC Store" at the Mall where you could play this ASCII star trek game. A little odd...as I don't know what mall dwellers were in the market for 5 figure servers. Even the lowly DecStation was at least $10k.

They were VERY involved in the community. Thanks DEC!

Great comeback!! If this were Reddit, we’d be having shits and gigggles for the next several hours!

Now back to a real discussion...

Americans, for example, have about 6 millions accidents per year.

Do you think humans improve the situation once computers become proficient at self-driving?
Are you sure there are no discussions about this in mainland? I don't go to a lot of forums but at least I have seen lots of discussions on NGA and tieba. I am sure that there are even more discussions happened in Hupu, douban, KDS, and the countless QQ group chats. Even the threads got removed after a while, it still counts because people knows about the event and exchanged ideas.

False statements like this appeals to the Westerners but it worsens the misunderstanding between us, which is counterproductive if you want a more open and free China.

Stanford Advanced Networking Class Paper Reading Time Table
The phrase that should strike fear into the heart of any engineer who has to work at scale (any kind of scale, not just software): "Correlated failures". A software bug that affects only one of them. The political possibility mentioned elsewhere. Some computer virus never "intended" for a satellite manages to get into one of them for some reason, most likely a very bizarre one that nobody would have ever guessed could happen but still somehow did. Some hardware component that turns out to fail all at the same time (more or less), used by all of a particular constellation. Or most likely of all, something I can't even think of to put here as an example, but still it somehow turns out that a particular failure ends up having as a side effect greatly increasing the chance of failures in the rest of the system despite all the efforts to prevent that. (The "ones we can't even think of" end up with elevated probabilities precisely because we don't think to prevent them and thus put no engineering into preventing them.)

All of these outcomes are low probability, sure, but they are all vastly higher probability than sufficient simultaneous independent failures to take down the system. It's why despite all the incredible software engineering that goes into Google and AWS, they still go down sometimes. Almost no conceivable set of independent events can take those things down, but correlated failures still can, do, and will continue to do so.

It is not useful to use the many failings of coal as a fuel to promote nuclear power. Nuclear power does not compete against coal, it competes against wind/solar and natural gas.

The constant refrain of 'but coal ..' from nuclear advocates is just an admission that nuclear power is un-economic and unable to compete in the marketplace against the best options.

If someone is covered by fallout without knowing it, they can be dangerously radioactive.

If they inhale or ingest the fallout they'll be much less radioactive, but they could still be dangerous to others if they've ingested an extreme and lethal dose.

Some radiotherapy treatments do in fact make patients slightly radioactive. Friends and family are advised to keep their distance for a few half-lives.

Beware of conflating "the ideas you express suck and we want nothing to do with you" (on either a social or an economic basis) with "you can't speak".

They aren't. It was based on an early spherical model, but in the modern world a nautical mile is defined as exactly 1852 meters, period. The notion of the arc minute is historical context in the same way that a "mile" was originally a thousand (mille) paces.

While the article mentioned McNamee and "Zucked", on the topic of behavioral manipulation strategy by big tech, there's a much better, more thorough recent book: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff, a professor emerita of economics at Harvard. It's an excellent analysis of what big tech is doing, and where it's heading.

Just one quote from an interview in this review:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/jan/20/shoshana-...

> "It is no longer enough to automate information flows about us; the goal now is to automate us. These processes are meticulously designed to produce ignorance by circumventing individual awareness and thus eliminate any possibility of self-determination. As one data scientist explained to me, “We can engineer the context around a particular behaviour and force change that way… We are learning how to write the music, and then we let the music make them dance.” This power to shape behaviour for others’ profit or power is entirely self-authorising. It has no foundation in democratic or moral legitimacy, as it usurps decision rights and erodes the processes of individual autonomy that are essential to the function of a democratic society."
So when I started my consultancies back in the day it'd be me or me and 1-2 other people for a long time till we built things up. What I'd usually do with clients is send them written communication that I planned to be taking time during whatever period and would be either totally unavailable or available on emergency basis (which I would charge a larger hourly rate for). I'd always try to communicate this 4-6 weeks in advance where I could and then remind them at regular intervals via email so know one could say I didn't communicate. Also, make sure as you are scheduling work that is factored into the schedule and then it is all good.

Also, I am US based but I never had any client complain or bitch about it. And only a few clients from time to time would call me for emergency support and not a single one complained about having to pay a much higher rate because it was a legit issue. I did have a couple of clients try to contact me when I said I was completely unavailable but that is just life.

I also setup auto reply emails with specifics to be clear, and how to reach me in an emergency. As well when we were growing and had more people available we'd cover each other's projects so there was literally no interruption.

The key is just communication early and often. And set clear boundaries on your time, not just your holiday time but your daily time. Do this and you will rarely have issues, except for those few asshole clients we all seem to have from time to time.

Your proposal is exactly how self-driving cars were created:

"Back in 1995 the goals for self-driving cars were more modest than they are today. They weren’t called autonomous, but self-driving. And there was no plan to have cars drive themselves on city streets, just on freeways and highways — on the Interstate. The plan was to bury cables in the pavement over which all the cars would drive and communicate with each other and with the road, itself. The goal was to fill the road with cars driving at the speed limit, spaced precisely one meter apart" [0]
