>I hope we can view these incidents in context.

That is extremely unlikely and borders on impossible. AVs have some profound things working against them. They share the problem airplanes have. Human beings are abysmal at risk estimation, and a very large factor of the estimation they do is whether they have personal control. It doesn't matter that planes are much safer than driving, the fact that people don't have direct control of the aircraft makes them feel unsafe to the point that some people are paralyzed by their fear of flying. The same will be true of AVs, and for the same (un)reasons.

But I have my own doubts that it will even get far enough for that to pose a serious problem. We have a more general problem with technology in our society. It is nearly unanswerable to the law. Take the Toyota "unintended acceleration" scandal from a few years ago for example. Investigation of that issue determined firmware flaws were the cause, and led to the deaths of over a dozen people. The criminal court case against Toyota unearthed that while the automotive industry had coding practices that established 'required' and 'suggested' techniques, lists of around 100 practices. Toyota followed 4 of them. Firmware developers working for Toyota did not even have access to a bug tracker at all. They did not have access to static analysis tools. They had no role in determining scheduling.

They were found 'not guilty' for criminal negligence. The reason given by the court was that because the problem involved software, criminal negligence was impossible. No standards exist governing software, and therefor no company can be held criminally responsible regardless of their practices. During the civil case, they were found guilty and responsible for the deaths, but before the jury could award damages, Toyota settled with the victims families.

That legal precedent is terrifying. The first AV to market will inevitably be the one that cuts the most corners and is rushed the most in its development. When it kills someone, as is basically guaranteed to happen by simple statistics, the public will be paying more attention than they did to the Toyota case. And when the public at large hears that tech company executives are literally above the law, the outrage and consequences will likely be swift and severe. Sensing political opportunity, the legislators will descend and could very well end up dictating what language must be used, what coding standards must be followed, what tools must be used (you know the tool vendors will be lobbying hard), etc. The ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) has been discussing this issue for years, debating the potential merits and pitfalls of establishing a licensing system for software engineers. Thus far, the discussion always ends with 'companies would have to pay more for licensed developers and the cost of labor must be contained.' The looming pitfall of avoiding certification and licensing, however, is that government will step in and do it themselves which is virtually guaranteed to enact the greatest pain on the software industry.
I drove a new rental Peugeot (207 or something?) last year, wasn't actually bad at all. The interior no longer feels like they got the plastic from biscuit packets, at least.

I mean, journalists could also see this if they employed people with disabilities that required them to use such accessibility features. Considering it took an outage to show them I'm guessing few to zero companies do.
It's more complicated than this. I listened, I cared, for years. Then I stopped. How can I continue caring when everyone around me exploits the way things are and gets ahead because of it?

What we need is a mass awakening. We need everyone to care at the same time to see anything change.

We won't act unless we have role models acting before our very eyes. We won't act untile there is a problem directly in front of us. Until that time you may count on the status quo continuuing.
Most of my experiences described are actually based of the 2008 I drove last year (that one I drove for 2 weeks)...

I do not mean to sound pedantic, but a lot of shitty products "resonate with buyers". Squeaky laptops with stamp-sized trackpads come to mind. I think the resonating is mainly related to price. Like those laptops, Peugeots are probably good value for many. That does not however negate, that they are also shitty cars...

(For reference, my own car is a 2010 Honda Jazz (Honda Fitt in the US), so I'm not comparing a Peugeot to a luxury Mercedes sedan or something...it's just that the Honda seems to be a car people actually though about before they started building it)
We don't shoot lasers out of our eyes either.

Why? The market is dumb (in a technical sense). The state is constantly monitoring and adjusting. It’s like saying you trust a car with a brick on the accelerator over a self drive Tesla.

Sure the Tesla makes mistakes and kills someone every now and then, but I’d take that over the brick.
It is quite easy to bash the influencers. They are a popular target. There is another story in the news today about influencers wanting to get free wedding pictures.

I am waiting for a 'before they were famous' expose from someone who does make it to get the millions of subscribers. At that level of the game it works differently, everything comes for free and stuff has to be turned down. But these people were struggling once, they once had zero subscribers/followers and nothing they could say would be received well by anyone. They must have 'couldn't even get an ice cream' stories.

Fun that it is to deride the influencer, there are options for more constructive approaches.

The ice cream truck could offer just the one ice cream to an influencer a week, with an online application form and many other administrative hoops and hurdles. Then the free ice cream could go to whomever has the most followers. Then, when awkwardly asked at the van, he could just politely show them the form. If they win the competition (of who has the most followers) and can come back a week later then sure they can have their free ice cream. That is fair enough, surely?
Sorry, but that's bullshit.

Once an attacker is in your organization he will look for exactly that kind of internal-only backend were exploits are already available and the attack vector is known.

There is no such thing as a internal-only backend regarding security.

Let's assume the attacker used social engineering to get credentials from an unprivileged user and uses these to log in to a remote desktop. (I know there are ways to prevent that but I think there are many examples shown that public facing remote desktop is not two unrealistic)
Once he is inside your company he can reach the "internal-only" backend and uses the privilege escalation bug you thought is not worth fixing to get root.

Wait, what is wrong with having vegetables on your yard? I understand that if you want to raise chickens you need some kind of approval by the rest of the society, due to noises and smells.

Excuse me for a moment while I mourn for my youtube suggestions.

I think mainstreaming is an interesting point - a similar strain to what people are calling the "rise of populism" which ends up being more direct. In some ways its empowering the unwashed masses, and in others its being more genuine/less filtered.

I had another paragraph here that went into how progressives aren't the establishment economically by any means and was about to disagree, but after re-reading and scoping your argument to just having command of the social landscape I think you're probably correct. The lines of attack brought on by some in the social justice world can be patently ridiculous, and are ripe for parody. Its difficult to come around to being empathetic to that fact when most of my upbringing was during the culture wars against the "prudes", who had all the power and were using it to gatekeep everyone. I'm certainly more comfortable living in this social environment myself, but I remember the feelings of empowerment when we got to call out something in society that was obviously bullshit bullshit.

I suppose I have some fear around that as a natural backlash on some issues can turn into a general backlash against the entire thing - are we heading for another Disco Demolition? Or will a more middle ground maturing of language happen? One thing does seem almost certain - the corporations will make a lot of money any way the wind blows.

Your interview analogy is a bad one. Because they are not trying to make their solutions as similar as possible to each other.

If you had interviewee A write some piece of code, and then said to interviewee B "I want you to solve this problem as close as possible as the person before you did it, here is their executable", you'd be quite surprised what they could do. Especially if interviewee B is Alex Ionescu.
Observing this American debate from Norway, one of the supposed big government types of countries, I notice an inability to distinguish the size of a government in terms of employees and taxes on one side and the complexity of the legal system and regulations on the other side.

Norway as many other Nordic countries have high taxation levels and many government employees, but this is primarily because education and health care and a lot of child care is run by the government. It does not imply a larger bureaucracy.

However this does not stop us from having efficient and simple government. We have much simpler tax code than the US e.g. Despite health care being public, our health care bureaucracy, regulations and rules are much simpler.

You actually need some regulations to stop complex regulations from creeping in. E.g. we have strict rules regarding political advertisement and campaign contributions which means money is not an important thing in Norwegian politics. Consequently politicians are not bought and we have much less of this business initiated regulations and red tape that the US has.

Yet we have stronger regulations with respect to workers rights, unions, environment etc. But that does not mean it is more complex.

Having a "bigger government" does not necessarily mean a more complex one. In fact it often reduces complexity by setting more common standards.
I like your question about actual work. I suppose anything that helps pay the bills should count. So I definitely agree that bring a social media influencer should count as real or actual work. It's just that there's a "bad taste" element to the profession, similar to how people may react to selling MLM beauty products or Herbalife. I suppose Herbalife should count as actual work too, at least to the people who get sucked into selling the products. But I also see why restaurants/hotels and food vendors might react negatively to influencers who try to get free service in exchange for exposure that may or may not exist.

I used to write a blog about housing design. I had no connection with the housing industry or the field of architecture, merely a strong interest in high-density housing. As such, I read books, papers, went to the library to dig up archived publications full of insights (but unavailable online). My research was for filling my blog with topics and for using them as a discussion or talking point.

The research never felt like a chore, quite the opposite. Because I was writing down what I was learning, I felt I could fairly confidently speak at length on some aspects of housing design. As is often said: if you write down what you learn, you remember it better and it deepens your understanding.

I would be more comfortable limiting it to the families of the managers. The engineers, due to our legal and social system, have almost no control whatsoever over when the product gets released, what tools they have access to, how much time they are given for testing, etc. All of those decisions are driven by management who have been guaranteed by courts that there simply is no degree of corner-cutting which could ever possibly amount to criminal negligence because software is involved.

I bought new Renault Logan Sandero in 2015 and couldn't be happier. No stupid assist stuff, no computer stuff, just engine, wheel, gearbox and brakes. The only safety stuff that I'm aware of is ABS and airbag which is more than enough for me. My next vehicle will absolutely be Renault Duster with a similar configuration. I need car to drive, not to think instead of me.

Though some things would be nice to have. Like car detection in blind zones. I think that it's not invasive, just some kind of light bulb.

I thought that I would want an advanced cruise control (which measures the distance and accelerates or decelerates a little bit) but I definitely don't want it to hit brakes instead of me. If this feature does more than controlling an engine, I don't want it.

Are you saying supersonic airlines never happened?
Suburban US maybe. The rest of the world, you gotta wait a long time.

The thing is, there are plenty of roads that are complicated.

There are plenty of vehicles that are not cars: bikes, motorbikes, trucks, buses, mega transporters, construction / fixing machines, tractors, etc.

Plus of course, you share the road occasionally with protests, parties, events...

And of course criminals won't want self driving cars. And so cops won't. Fire fighters won't. Ambulance driver won't. Anything that needs to get in and out quickly, and each time changing direction, or park in weird locations.

Eventually privacy conscious people will also tilt on how dangerous for society those cars are: you can be spied on, it collects data, it's easy to kill you if you are a political dissident with a simple switch. So a small group of people will also want to opt out.

So while I'm all for as much as self driving car as we can, Waymo effort will still be worth for a long, long time.

Before they were famous? Broke college students probably or something like that. Frankly a more respectable career than begging and peddling shit on social networks.

> Fun that it is to deride the influencer, there are options for more constructive approaches.

But why should the food truck operator care? He didn’t ask for anything and still gets solicited by these beggars (they call it a “business” but I’d argue if your business can’t buy you a $4 ice cream then something is horribly wrong). It can also be offensive, just like when artists are asked to perform for “exposure”.
I'm Renaut Laguna 3rd gen (Talisman's dad) owner.

I never had any problem with the switch next to the handbrake. Maybe Talisman have it different, but I never had a thought that it could be accidentally switched. Even if I slouched so low. Talisman has to have wrongly placed arm rest or something. Also one probably should not slouch too low on cruise control, because there may be immediate need to take control.
