Because yours is a ludicrous proposal. It'd be well more expensive to modify infrastructure than to build a computerized driver. Not only is the modification expensive, you have to convince the local authority to foot the bill, do it right, maintain it, etc. Never going to happen.

Your proposal also lacks reliability. What if one of these "transponders" fails? We can build redundancy into a self-driving car quite easily (a second computer, never relying on just one sensor). Providing redundancy to road infrastructure planet-wide is ... a much larger problem.

"The human can often predict that some type of avoidance will be needed several seconds earlier in a way that computers can't at the moment and thus avert the need for emergency braking entirely.

The two can, and should, be complementary."

What you're saying is true, but doesn't fall under the purview of "assisted emergency braking".
No, the nautical mile is hated by proponents of the metric system. As with all customary units, it favors a specific use-case at the cost of errors and conversions, has limited accuracy and doesn't handle orders of magnitude.
I disagree. The "boilerplate" is the boring stuff I don't want to waste my time with.
Isn't that the right DOSBOX behavior? I think it should maintain the original aspect ratio as it looked in the old CRT monitors. I remember drawing circles in CRT monitors on IBM PCs and the circles did look vertically squished. Why should DOSBOX or FFMPEG alter that original aspect ratio? Altering that artificially would be like lying about what the real output looked like in the good old days.

Unsurprisingly Stylus is one of the preprocessors that people want to avoid the most (beating less by 1% in user satisfaction). The preprocessor is very apathetic to what style you use - it's the antithesis of a linter. Want to use a semicolon on this line, and not one on the next? Go for it! Not the best when you want to write something production worthy.

That said I've found it phenomenal for prototyping, simple codepen examples, and teaching css. I run the prototyping efforts at Atlassian and I've built a large amount of code prototyping tools focused on allowing designers to quickly build something out. The standard template I give to designers and students uses stylus by default because it allows them to make mistakes. People who are unfamiliar with code feel defeated when a small syntax error was the one thing holding them back - it makes them question their understanding of the intention of what they wrote, even when the meaning of what they had was correct. Stylus fixes so many of these things for me. I'd highly recommend doing any of your exploratory phases in Stylus.
>As a User Experience Professional, I was never able to grasp the true user's need for touch screens in cars.

Before phone integration, I might've agreed with you, or at least had no opinion on the subject.

After watching many car companies, even high-end ones like BMW and Mercedes, fail utterly at producing reasonable phone integration systems or interfaces, though, I'm all-in on CarPlay.

>It basically means they have given up on developing a good branded interface between the driver and the car.

Correct. They have given up, and it's good that they have, because they've all proven they absolutely suck at it. In the meantime, Apple and Google (?) have done it for them, at least as far as the phone goes.

(I assume the Android equivalent is equally good; no reason it shouldn't be.)

>This to me is insane reasoning. That is no way user centric.

I think it really IS, though.

CarPlay is amazingly good, and only really works well with a touchscreen.

At this point, it would be very hard for me to buy a car that didn't have CarPlay integration with a touchscreen. I've seen implementations without touch, and they're much, much less useful.

I do agree, though, that touchscreens beyond phone interfaces should be used very sparingly. The Tesla's all-touchscreen situation in particular seems like a terrible idea. Most of us are used to being able to adjust the AC without looking, and that's only possible because there are physical controls we can feel.

But the phone interface is distinct from that, and needs to be a touchscreen. When it's not, or when it's not present, people just pick up their phones and use them, which is worse.
".. to objects that it can identify as a hazard. We've already seen incidents where it fails to spot hazards such as cyclists and crash barriers, due to limitations such as having to filter out stationary objects from radar returns."

Really? I've seen no such reports with regard to assisted emergency braking systems. Please cite a reference.
option A)

1. Have people speak perfect English, thus letting the actors shine, and not have the viewers have to read subtitles.

2. Have really good British/American actors do a fake (and probably bad) Russian accent, just for funsies

3. Hire actual Ukrainian/Russian actors, and use subtitles all the way.

Option 2 just seems stupid to me, the characters didn't speak in a foreign accent, they spoke in their own. Between Option 1 and 3, I prefer 1.
As a private pilot it astounds me how the self-driving car industry has seemingly taken every lesson we've learned from automation in aviation and chucked it out the window in these systems.

There's a "trust but verify" element of airplane automation that is ingrained in you as a pilot. The ML aspect of self-driving cars generally make it a lot less easy to reason about and predict. That's problem 1. Problem 2 is then speed; Even in the airline world, there are published minimums at which pilots need to be absolute certain that the AP is doing the right thing before they commit to land, even in cases where the autopilot is responsible for the entire landing (Autoland is a capability that a lot of airliners have had for many decades).

What we're talking about here is several seconds heads-up with visual AND instrument confirmation, that the computers are doing what they're supposed to before we allow the plane to land. Not only that, but we bend over backwards ensuring that there is all kinds of redundancy and procedures in place to ensure the accuracy of the system: Multiple instruments using different kinds of technologies confirming one another, greater separation between aircraft to guarantee ILS radio beacon accuracy, etc. Conversely, in the self-driving world, we're having these ML algorithms make split-second decisions with no real way of informing the driver what it is basing it on in an environment that is far less predictable and constantly-changing with someone who is not a professional behind the wheel.

In a realistic movie they'd speak Russian/Ukrainian. I think wrong accents in that case would be ok because only Ukrainians would notice (it won't air in russia I'm guessing).

But Netflix probably wanted well known actors instead, and know lots of people dislike reading subtitles, so chose to use english, which is understandable in some ways. Myself I find documentary(-style) movies in the original language to be much more believable, and reading subtitles is a price well worth paying for e.g. "Der Untergang" and similar.

It is one thing to (through analysis) arrive at the conclusion that people and states don't live up to the ideals of the Golden Rule [0]. It is quite another thing to openly support the idea that the rich and powerful should use their power to further their own interests at the expense of others. Suffice to say that the latter puts you on a different trajectory than the collective body of religious and political thinking since time immemorial, western and eastern alike. Just sayin'.

Like you, I was equally disappointed with how CBM treated the amiga from a marketing/R&D perspective though I at least had an A500 from sometime arount late '89. I always wanted an A1200 once it was announced, but could never make the numbers stack up. Then CBM went to the wall, then I went to uni and just watched the whole tragedy circus unfold from my first couple years of an EE degree...
I finally picked up a real A1200 a few years ago when a friend gave me his and it lines up nicely with my teen-hood A500 and an A600 which I got for cheap just before the prices went ballistic (thanks Vampire!)

At what elevation are they measuring these arcs / circumference of the earth? At sea level? Feel like that needs to be explicit if we are trying to be technical.

Anyhow, the people and their horrifying decision making processes are the real enemies presented in Chernobyl, in my opinion.

Analysis of Just Released Top Supercomputer List
This article is taking about general hacks targeting

1) the DNC
2) the state department
3) the white house

sometime in the time of mid-late 2014. Just to be clear: i have no doubt that they tried to hack these organizations. Now, wheres the election interference? Apartently they were caught early on, the FBI and other agencies knew about it. So wheres the interference in the election? The DNC leaks on Wikileaks? There is 0 hard evidence that the origin of that leak was russian intelligence. Friendly reminder: John Podesta used "password" as the password for his account. It could have literaly been a 12 year old kid from Armenia, who knows.
Especially with the recently released WSL2, Windows is becoming a viable general-purpose development platform.
Maybe, but this is something I'm very bad at. I forget about problems once they're solved.
When I first went to college for my Associate's Degree, we learned C++ and had the option to choose between Java and Visual Basic. I chose Java, obviously, because who the hell wants to know Visual Basic?

I really liked Java back then because C++ had always been a struggle, not because of pointers or anything like that... but because I always found project management, figuring out how to link libraries, and build my projects, to be overly complicated. With Java, I only had to import a library, and that was it. I didn't need to link external libraries because Java's standard library was large enough that it had most of what I needed at the time, and adding external libraries wasn't nearly as difficult as C++.

However, over the years, I feel like I've kind of grown apart from it and have started to want to migrate back towards C++ and Python. I still use Java because it's the language I know best and it's the language I'm writing my game in, but after I finish my game, I think I'll be using it significantly less. The bulkiness of the code, the complications from the JVM, and the lack of good options for deploying executable code is just getting more and more frustrating.

Also, as I was working on my Bachelor's Degree, filling in the gaps of knowledge left by a "meh" education at my previous school, I could see that Java is just not good for writing good, fast code.

That said, Java 8 did make me like Java a lot more when it came out, but they're starting to deploy new versions so frequently now I feel like 8 is the last version I will bother learning.

Anyway, the point was a general one - the computer hazard identification is very far from perfect at the moment, and benefits from a human spotting hazards that the automated system does not.

>I've seen implementations without touch, and they're much, much less useful.

I have this. I never use it. Instead, I mount my phone next to the screen and use Android Auto on my phone. Using the rotary dial and other buttons is a) far more difficult and b) far more distracting while driving. An action that takes 1 second with a touch requires several seconds of fumbling with a knob and buttons w/out touch.

As a Linux on the desktop user for 15+ years (who has had some OSX boxes for some time and also has to run Windows from time to time), here's what I love about running Linux as my daily desktop driver:

* all software I need can be installed with some CLI commands

* similar to the server envs I tend to

* no hassle with anti-virus/malware/trojans/etc (I merely install clam-av for some compliance thingy, that's all)

* basic tools are top quality (I hate the default terminal apps on both OSX and windows)

* I can use decade old scripts to do all kinds of helpful tasks for me (backups, music mgmt, etc.)

* no need to look for some pirated software because I created some file with some software that I now do not have the license for at hand

* I know really well how to fix problems and that knowledge stays relevant (the OS is not moving stuff around all the time)

* Less resource hungry (apart from the browser)

There are some things I'm not too happy with as well:

* Having to read reviews before I can buy some hardware

* Touchpad not as good as Apple's

* Not sure if some USB-C docking station actually will work for me (no review from Linux users found at this point)

* The Hi-PDI screen story is far from perfect (yet slowly progressing)
bus routes that weave in and out of bike lanes

Have you really found this to be a problem? Everywhere I've lived and cycled, buses are the most predictable vehicles on the road. When they approach from behind, they leave plenty of space. They rarely go very fast. They stop often enough that you'd never get stuck behind them. Unlike a lot of other "professionally driven" vehicles, they know where they're going and don't make last-second turns. They signal their turns. Any cyclist unaware enough to be endangered by a city bus is also threatened by every other vehicle on the street.

I say this as a long-term Mac user, but I do sometimes wonder how much more polished & supported desktop/laptop Linux would be if Apple hadn't shipped a BSD-based OS on fantastic hardware with access to Office & etc.

I'm sure I would've gone that route in 2001, when I needed a platform to support freelance LAMP work, if my Mac hadn't literally already had most everything installed already.

Even emacs. ;)
But there's no way they can prove that it was actually the owner that did this. An argument could be that someone got access to the WiFi, either maliciously or otherwise.

It's not enough to be used as evidence in court.

Most likely did the majority of the bots use proxies and VPNs, which may or may not provide additional information about their customers, but even then it has to be proven that is was the same user that did the acts which is very difficult.

Right, apologies for not catching that. The point still stands though, you have to understand the context behind the usage before you attribute its meaning.

Show HN: A Python Toolbox for Remote Debugging / Working with Long-Running Tasks
I can echo this sentiment as well. My dad's interest in computers, as he was undergoing his masters degree in business, had him building an interface from his Commodore Plus/4 to an electronic typewriter. Being a poor staff sgt in the Air Force (and supporting a family of 4) he couldn't really afford a new printer. But with the free Plus/4 we got for attending a timeshare seminar and its built-in word-processor, it allowed him to edit his thesis much easier and complete it faster. Bonus side-effect was that it inspired me as a 9 year old to play with computers and learn BASIC programming. That and the continued purchases of computers throughout the rest of my childhood (C64, Amiga, 286, 486, etc) helped me become the computer nerd I am today. Thanks Dad!

Solving Knights and Knaves with Z3
We need a linux distribution that could be installed on one of those Intel NUCs (for example) that give you a digital tuner and the applications that you want to have on you TV.

I've always thought that attaching computers to dumb monitors to escape the tyranny of smart tv centralization would establish a good base for more generalized home servers. Why not have my indie smart tv handle my email and PVR stuff, too?
I suspect the distribution of possibilities considered across our level of ignorance is very, very wide. Even if $1B/day is the peak (which I wouldn't consider this anything more than very weak evidence for; no offense to the study authors, this is a freaking hard problem and I respect their attempt to answer the question), I'd expect it to be a very shallow peak in a very wide distribution. There's a lot of unknown unknowns in this space, and a lot of ways that things could cascade surprisingly out of control (e.g., "oops, it turns out that in this particular surprising GPS failure mode that this common model of airplane wants to land half-a-mile west of the actual runway, and while that isn't a problem on its own the modern avionics software is really insistent about that and literally won't let the pilots override, and now the entire air transport industry is on the verge of collapse because nobody wants to fly anymore").
I actually doubt that. Finding the right rules is quite a bit of work and hobbyists will only look for such stuff for so long until they get bored. Programming can be fun but adding the nearly but not exactly the same rule to a filter list for the 2,000th time will eventually get tedious. Especially if you are playing a cat and mouse game and you are the (unpaid) cat and the mouse has quite strong incentives to get paid.
