The hope is that they have entered their navigation correctly before they left and from the time they leave 'til the time they arrive they don't need to look at the screen at all, it's all voice and smaller visual cues. I guess I just don't feel like it's a stretch to have the responsibility to figure these things out before embarking, instead of doing it on the fly which is more dangerous.

The absolutist stance could absolutely increase safety. If we ditched all screens cars could only be safer. Less convenient, but safer. I'm not saying ditch navigation or music though, but ditching off to the side navigation/media screens could only be a plus to safety. Implement navigation and media in a way that's more sympathetic to the need of remaining attentive. Any lapse in attention we can get rid of is a good one.

You haven't argued for how having screens could be safer than not having screens, only for how to improve the safety and convenience of screens we have. Your advice is probably going to be more useful, because in all likelihood we'll keep screens. But I wouldn't care if it took someone 45 minutes longer to get somewhere because they got lost, and had to pull over and ask a man sitting on a bench for directions. Driving is a privilege and we shouldn't trade safety for convenience. I think media/navigation screens could be replaced by better solutions that don't require a screen. Who says you need a full visual map at all? Who says you need to type in the address? These are problems that could be addressed, and I feel as though the screen is the lowest effort solution not the right one.
The middle of the copy pasted string is sometimes missing.
So if I copy `echo hi && cat /etc/hostname` it's gonna paste `echo hitc/hostname`

It has 4 different paste methods in the settings, I encountered the bug on all at work. I've used it without encountering the bug before though, but I haven't figured out what causes it.
BTW, I did mean to make one more point regarding:

"Had there been someone following close behind him, it probably would've caused an accident."

And of course the person running into the braking vehicle would have been at fault. In most cases, only assisted emergency braking would help, since most people follow way too close on the freeway - human reaction time isn't fast enough.

Right, but that's not the points that the article made. Article's author proposed that THE reason, (not A reason) for airbnb's high value is because cheap money makes non-physical assets expensive. You're explanation was that cheap money makes for "big bets", and stocks can price the future in.

Your answer is good. I agree. The stock market is Vegas. The stock market fueled by cheap money, is Vegas times a billion.

I find the article lacking. And I'm being polite.

The warning amounts to “only someone who knows what they’re doing would write XXX, and we believe you don’t know what you’re doing.”
The infotainment system in my 2017 CX-5 often freezes on cold startup. There is no way to dismiss the "Warning" screen (which takes up the whole screen), even by pressing the "Dismiss" button. Just have to wait for it to go away on its own. I've had the backup camera freeze fully, which seems like a safety hazard. A few times, the whole system failed to initialize too, which forced me to pull over at the next gas station, and "power cycle" it by fully turning my car off and starting it back up again.

Mazda punches far above its price in terms of driving dynamics and interior quality, but I think their infotainment system is plain garbage and they should be absolutely ashamed of such poor quality.
It's literally oppression. I want to make decisions on my own, not someone else making them for me. The only things that are justifiably banned are those that negatively impact others without their consensus (and even there, I disagree with most governments - e.g. I think euthanasia should be legal and capital punishment not).

Obviously you could make the same argument about the environment ("you're killing nature without its consent") but as long as we (the human civilisation) cannot live in a zero-impact manner, it shouldn't be nobody else's choice on how I polute the environment (i.e. as long as you drive a car, I can fly in a private jet, provided that environmental costs are accounted for proportionally)

Not according to Charles de Gaulle:

"Have you seen the Muslims with their turbans and their djellabas (traditional, hooded, long wool coats)? You can see that they are not French. Try and integrate oil and vinegar. Shake the bottle. After a moment they separate again. The Arabs are Arabs, the French are French. Do you think that the French can absorb ten million Muslims who will tomorrow be twenty million and after tomorrow forty? If we carry out integration, if all the Berbers and Arabs of Algeria were regarded as French, how would one stop them coming to settle on the mainland where the standard of living is so much higher? My village would no longer be called Colombey-les-deux-Eglises [the two churches] but Colombey-the-two-mosques."
If you read the article, you quickly discover it's not a fair comparison at all, because the headline itself is grossly misleading.

Why is giving a "Delivery Unlimited" option considered to by "Taking on Target Shipt, Amazon Prime, etc"? It's just a reorganization of what you pay, since you're going to pay for those shipping costs one way or another. And it's going to be through increased prices of the items in their store. They didn't actually do anything at all. How do people fall for this?
Yes, and it isn't like the people using it wouldn't pay for software, before OBS became widespread people used Dxtory and Fraps - both paid products.

Uber's tech is simple and easily replicable. The moment they raise their prices, they loose their market share. There is no network effect in this market.

Ppl said the same about Facebook in 2006-2012. "Anyone can make a social network." Yes, the technology can be replicated but the network and market-share cannot.
> France doesn't control its borders.

This is reductive to the point of misleading. France does control its borders, but has chosen to accept the freedom of movement of Schengen, become a party to the Dublin Regulation, and participate in Frontex.

The idea that France is helpless to deal with the question of how it treats the migrants and the asylum seekers within its borders because of these agreements is to absolve them of responsibility towards people that they have taken on through those choices in addition to their own domestic law.

Telling people they can't work at all in your country, when they have nowhere else to go, is cruel. That is a choice France -- and other countries like Germany -- have made, and should be held responsible for.

(PS, I also disagree with the characterisation of the European borders as 'porous', given how much money, manpower, and how many human lives are expended enforcing them. If they were porous, people would not be drowning in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe.)
As I said, using illegal labourers is a crime. But "profiting from the vulnerability of others" is the basis of Uber's business model. It's laughable to hear them complain about someone else sidestepping labour standards to pay people less than a minimum.

I think they are just upset that someone has managed to shave profit from their system. Uber is jealous that it cannot access this ultra-cheap labour pool itself.

– a file being an AVI tells you practically nothing about the actual codecs and streams contained within, and the same stands for MP4.

It seems DOSbox writes AVI files that contain video encoded in its own ZMBV codec (see https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/DosBox_Capture_Codec); even if OP's contacts had devices that could play AVIs, it's likely they couldn't play that AVI anyway...

> 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.

The nautical mile was not 'customary', but based on mathematical properties. Specifically, it was defined as one arc-minute (1/60 of degree) of latitude. Degrees of latitude are measure from the centre of the Earth and not the surface.

This is no more arbitrary than how the metre was defined:

> The metre was originally defined as 1⁄10,000,000 of the meridian arc from the North pole to the equator passing through Dunkirk.

It is now been translated in relation to the metric system as 1852m.
> Taxes are fine if a business cannot float between countries

No, you just need to drop the idea of free trade. Big economies (in particular, the US and EU) are big enough to enforce their standards globally. Serving EU customers? Comply with GDPR. Want to do business in USD? Comply with US banking regulations. Same could be done for shipping (and, I wish, tax avoidance & other environmental standards).
Nope, I think that to catch trivial errors like that is mostly unhelpful, what bothers me about that is that could emit a warning in perfectly ok code, for instance as a result of a post-processing that maps symbols to literal values. Given that 3^5 will never be the result of some programing genuine mistake, but means not knowing the language, I think it is worse to create issues to people that know what they are doing (emitting a useless warning), than trying to advice people not knowing the basic of the language. Anyway such mistake will be realized very soon by the inexperienced programmer.
Ahh... right on! I'm in Scottsdale now. To me, it feels like we're starting to really make things happen in AZ, from a tech perspective. Lots of talented people are returning here to raise families, get some kind of work / life balance, etc...
Whenever an article or person says "scientists want to..." or "scientists say..." it usually means that somewhere there is a team who has written a paper with that opinion, and that it is nowhere close to a consensus opinion. I'm quite sure there are many other scientists who will say doing so would be disastrous.

So, in short, try not to be swayed too much by what one researcher says, as filtered through the attention grabbing filter of a lay newspaper.

Python Community Interview with Marlene Mhangami
There is the Windows Hypervisor Platform[1] component recently added in windows, that at least allows other VMs to share the hypervisor using a common API. IIRC, VirtualBox 6 supports it.

To me, it seems like the use of Hyper-V was probably necessary to get the tight integration they needed to make the use of WSL 2 as seamless as it is today with the lightweight containers.

Automatic emergency breaking and other "safer human-driven" cars is not making the human-driven aspect any safer, but rather putting the working and stable parts of autonomous vehicles as a tool for unsafe human-driven vehicles. That said, it will obviously fare better than fully autonomous vehicles, but it is still just a part of autonomous vehicles in general. In this sense, these cars are not "a problem self-driving cars have" as the title implies, they are actually a stepping stone for self-driving cars.

It's loads to unlearn for most of programmers and a perfectly natural knee-jerk reaction of a refusal to. I mean, the more one knows already, the more is the desire to reuse such knowledge. Well, at least I have been there.

Can you be more specific with your criticism?
The responsiveness of properly done interactive multi-touch screens are undeniably tactile. They are, however, not haptic.

Haptic feedback in a touch interface is not always a feature. And the lack of haptic feedback does not, ipso facto, make an interface numb or non-immersive. Some older touch screens would vibrate in response to every touch as you typed — it made typing less accurate.

I take issue with the overly zealous defense of a haptic interface to the point where the overall experience is degraded in order to provide haptics.

Four arrow keys (or worse, a wheel-like joystick) are indeed haptic, but they are not a better way to pan a map, which is not generally done without looking anyway.
>Of course, this method of driving and having to pay more attention doesn't jive with the fantasy of getting wasted and having a computer take you home.

Which is why the system you're describing will never come to cars: American drivers would never use it correctly. If it isn't something that complete morons can jump in and use with zero training, it's just not going to work here. What you're describing requires a competent pilot with training, and that's a completely unrealistic expectation for a car in America.

And this, or some means of capturing C02 with solar powered flyers is the only way we have, short of some massive tech break through, of reversing global warming.

It's by no means clear that the end goal and approach should be different. Personally I think that aiming toward level 4-5 autonomous vehicles right now is misguided and unlikely to succeed (outside of a few controlled access roads in limited areas).

A better approach would be to require the human driver to actively control the vehicle at all times, but have the computer step in to brake or steer when it detects a high probability of a dangerous situation. Like how auto GCAS works on modern aircraft.

I was told something similar by my high school history teacher Mr. Kolhaise, but I think it was phrased in a more helpful manner and it's always stuck with me.

He said "Don't just tell me what you don't know, tell me what you do know" or in other words, don't just say "I don't know" but say something like "I don't know, but based on what I do know this is what I think the answer would be and this is how I would figure it out".

It really helps that everyone forgets what people say before the "but" and you can help get across the idea that while you may not know everything you know how to figure things out.

> For more in-depth assessment, the author dismisses the idea of asking the candidate to do an all-day task or homework because it isn't respectful of the candidate's time. So why not just pay the candidate for that time?

First of all, it costs money. Significant money even, if you tend to interview a lot of people.

Secondly, it's often an accounting hassle to pay money - you can't just hand someone cash, it needs to be in the form of a salary, and is not always so easy to do (and some candidates would probably be put off by it, especially if they're already working, since having a second income can get complicated).
I meant digital navigation, but fair point. Trying to interact with a digital map while underway is still dangerous, like trying to use a physical map was. Listening to a GPS is great, and I'm not advocating against digital navigation completely, just devices that require you to shift your attention away from driving.

I'm pretty forgiving -- heck it usually takes at least half the interview before the candidate's nerves settle down.

Being a developer involves being able to explain yourself clearly. You can't just sit in the dark and code, talking to no one. If I came away from an interview with the impression that you can't code then I don't want you.
