Could be, but then it would just be a glorified train system. People generally want to be driven from some building far from the interstate to some other building far from the interstate, not from onramp to exit.

I doubt that self-driving car technology is even close to being interstate-ready, though.
> evolve as a species

This seems to be a very American problem.

Maybe it's the deep conviction that they are operating as part of a fair system (thanks to it having hijacked the name "Democracy") that legitimizes American regulators in their overreach ?
Basically you are saying that because the drivers are not obeying the laws, we should throw our hands up and admit it's impossible and change the laws so they have right of way.

That's a fair position to take, but I would be questioning why it is that the drivers are unaware or unwilling to obey those laws?

You mean we should replace Windows/macOS/Linux and package managers with a web browser? Cool.
Perhaps I should have included the full context:

"1. Location data could theoretically be used nefariously

This criticism is the most severe. Upon reading the commentary, I have come to understand that there are indeed nightmare scenarios involving location tracking. I should note that we deliberately do not show cities — we only show states or countries — but a determined attacker could still misuse this information.

I am so very sorry for this. When we built Superhuman, we focused only on the needs of our customers. We did not consider potential bad actors. I wholeheartedly apologize for not thinking through this more fully."

This isn't a case of them having invalid SSL certs or improperly validating data sent to an endpoint. This is them building a feature that could have been used in bad ways and not realizing it. To that end, I am not very concerned about product security in this instance, because I have no reason to not trust their honesty.
Linux's default varies per architecture & platform. For a long, long time on ARM it still defaulted to 100hz. I think it's more like 250hz or 500hz now? You'll also see x86 desktop-focused build set it to 1000hz.

But scheduling happens far more often than this tick rate, too, so it's only preemption for busy threads and controls the timing windows for things like DVFS.
A few suggestions:
- attend meetups, but not just one. Create a longer term relationship with those you would consider for this role. The likelihood of meeting the co-founder who completes the successful startup formula at a meetup is quite low. You're more likely to find this person in your existing network since that co-founder will also need to be capable of surviving the harsh peaks and valleys of the startup's lifecycle, together with you. Weak relationships are harder to maintain throughout this journey. There are, of course, exceptions.
- Evaluate tools that would allow you to build your product yourself. You'll be surprised at how far you can go with the tools available to non-technical founders.
- Consider hiring someone. A strong hire would create a working relationship and may end up being the best fit for the co-founder role. You might even get by with this as the long term arrangement.
- Be charismatic and open minded. You've probably already met your future co-founder.

I remember there being an example around that area of a caravan of cars that could drive themselves.
Most of the talk of self driving cars was always on purpose built lanes/roads. That certainly has been in discussion for 50 years.
> ABSURDLY dangerous driving is already

It's very dangerous in some places in the world. Majority of deaths are happening in places with poor infrastructure[1], that autonomous vehicles are very far away from being able to handle. For current state of AV, bar it has to meet and exceed are places with good infrastructure, fairly new cars and reasonably good driving culture, as those are first targets of rollout.

For example, in Phoenix, AZ, about 250 people die per year from accidents[2], with about 9k miles driven per person[3] and metropolitan area having 4.7m people, to just match human levels AVs to have less than 1 fatality per 170 million miles driven.

What about the school I worked at? Students were aged ~4-13. We were definitely for-profit, but we never managed to make a profit.
Not sure exactly what you mean. But every test I've seen shows the traditional chain is more efficient than a belt. The belt justifications I've seen are less maintenance, cleaner (no oil on clothes), and quieter. Never seen anyone claim it's more efficient.

Thus almost all bikes and nearly all motorcycles use chains, the higher the performance the more likely they are to use chains. However electric bikes (where efficiency isn't as important) or harley motorcycles sometimes use belts. As do folding bikes where you might come in contact with the belt.

But racing bikes or motorcycles are pretty much always chains.
In isolation, you're right. Why on earth should giant robots be tested on public roads, especially when they can kill people?

When we actually look at safety on public roads, you know what kills more people? Other people.

We don't need the robots to be perfect to get them on the road. We just need them to be safer than human drivers.

That is a much lower bar to meet.
> I think this also had implications on using wasm in electon

It should not. Electron runtime is not a browser and developer can tweak its security settings.

I would suggest another idea for local files: grant access to folder whose name matches HTML file name, with suffix. For example: file some-page.html and directory some-page_files.
Autonomous driving is the new nuclear fusion. It's a couple decades away.

Is it easier or harder to just do a full reinstall and reconfigure it with a script (chef or something custom), while preserving your data directory?
This won't allow to load images, files from CDN etc.
Driving is not dangerous. Millions of people drive hundreds of millions of miles a day in the US, and the number of deaths is a statistical blip.
Then again, bad drivers often make themselves known on the road and you can give them wide berth when recognized (granted, not always possible). Watching for the warning signs of a bad / reckless / distracted drivers quickly became an almost unconscious habit for me.

A machine suddenly hitting a bug is whole new ball game though. I guess over time maybe you could build up a sense of where machines have trouble driving and adjust accordingly.
> unless their policy has changed since the last time I checked, Gmail still loads images by default and it doesn't cache them, it only proxies them.

That's a read receipt, in practice if not in name. I put a unique tracking pixel in the email, and when you open the email by default Google proxies it from my server. It's uncached, so unless the browser itself decides not to re-fetch it, I'll also know whenever you reopen the email.

Google also allows you to request a read receipt the responsible, official way that you're thinking of, but why would I ever use that feature when I can just give you a tracking pixel instead? The responsible read receipts require consent, and tracking pixels don't.

Again, I haven't checked Gmail's default settings in... probably years. So maybe this has changed, and it doesn't load images by default anymore. But any client that loads images by default has non-consensual read receipts, and they should be shamed for that.
California's problem is that with Prop 13 they CAN'T tax it.

A lot of this NIMBY stuff would vaporize if you simply allowed the tax and assessments to rise appropriately.

People wouldn't be quite so interested in "my housing value must always rise" if it meant that they couldn't pay their tax anymore.
I think that I explained myself poorly. I was trying to describe a starting point for a system that would be less easy to work around. We're never going to be able to eliminate every abuse of the law, but I think a valid strategy might be to try to make it so that the abuse doesn't scale.

So for instance, a corporation could still have their executives donate to PACs and they could create dozens of PACs in order to be able to donate more overall. However, there is a limit to how many executives and PACs they can juggle so it at least doesn't scale the way the current abuses do.
If we are still at test stage, I agree with you. However, my understanding is that the Waymo technology has been tested. It's entirely different than the Uber case, where engineers were literally deactivating emergency brake system because it was malfunctioning...

Also, I don't get the "These things have already killed at least one person.". Sure, a car (autonomous or not) can kill. Yet, is the fact that human operated cars "have already killed at least one person" a good reason to disallow them on public roads?
>Telling people to be nice in a git repository is fine

Did you miss that line?

Carefully enforced codes of conduct as an absolute must is not asking for respect. A vast ocean lies between them.

Normalizing life governed so in ever expanding circumstances is – really it is difficult to find a different word for this – fascist.

Leftist fascism is something new, and unfortunately something very many people want, at this point mostly unaware or only in-effect. Many people find values, actions, and ideas different from their own as dangerous, ugly, or wrong. Diversity is turning into dichotomy (you're in or your out).

Promoting and normalizing enforcement of social rules under the guise of helping people is exactly how fascism grew, and it was always promoted as something good, helpful, and necessary.

You don't need rules to manage a community. That doesn't mean you can't manage it, kick out somebody who isn't boing nice, or tell someone they are being inappropriate.

Rules are the enemy of good judgement, each one you enact is an admission of inadequacy. Nobody is perfectly adequate. Rules have a place, a purpose, a need. Put them where they are unavoidable and rebel against them where they aren't. The world isn't fixed by legislation, rules should be safety nets not train rails.

Rules are dangerous and wanting them everywhere so the world will act like you want is the root of evil which has happened many times before, small starts like insisting codebases are inadequate, unprofessional, and "other" if their rules aren't up to your standards isn't the last step towards something awful, but it paves the way towards the next one.

My issue isn't with some places having rules, variety is good. My issue is with the absolute and the othering.

I wonder, however, if smoothing skin makes for a lighter (compressed) image, resulting in bandwidth savings. We don't need to see skin details in a work conversation, just expressions.

Has everyone forgotten that you can easily just host your own website and throw up whatever video content you want there?

I can’t imagine creating a ton of educational content and then having it all depend on the whims of a single platform.

This is not the end of infosec or hacking videos.
This ever-increasing censorship is the inevitable result of buying into the idea that speech can be "harmful" and that big tech companies have some kind of "responsibility" to remove it.
It will always be legal to drive as a human being as long as I'm alive. I'm not that young, but, yes, I do expect to be alive for "several decades" more.
Because you may of had zero access rather than some, for example a web dev who wouldn't click on an .exe but would open an .html file without a second thought. More access isn't necessarily always the end goal either.
Its much much much more expensive to host video content than anything else.
I’ve owned 3 different homes, all built around 1975, only one had an HOA (that did practically nothing and everyone was happy).

On the downside, some of my neighbors have not watered their lawns in a long time and the weeds creep from their yards into everyone else’s. But most homes keep things tidy (which does not always mean grass).

But every single newer home I’ve looked at all came with an HOA and a ton of rules to abide by. Number of trees, number of bushes, all are specified. No cars outside, trash cans can only be left out between certain times. Grass must be cut to a height range.
You certainly can host your own videos, but not for the cost, ease, and exposure YouTube offers.
I feel like the drought in CA helped change at least some of those attitudes. Just today I got a check in the mail from the state for replacing my front lawn with low-water plants. The local water district matched the state’s rebate. We got enough to plant a fairly large tree, which should hopefully provide enough shade in a few years to further reduce our resource consumption. If you live in a drought-prone area, I would encourage you to see if your water provider has a similar program.
I hear this complaint about quality a lot online. But I've been buying for ten years, hundreds of orders. And not once have I had a complaint.

Did his channel get unbanned? Kody's website links to this active channel with its first video uploaded in Oct 2017: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgTNupxATBfWmfehv21ym-g

edit: Yep looks like the ban was a mistake ️

> In a subsequent comment, a YouTube spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that Cyber Weapons Lab’s channel was flagged by mistake and the videos have since been reinstated. “With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call,” the spokesperson said. “We have an appeals process in place for users, and when it’s brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.”

The quality and depth of introspection from the leadership of an organization, when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, is a truly epic spectacle to behold.

The more cynical among us might even think they knew exactly what they were doing but did it anyway for their own profit and to the determent of others and the only thing they are actually sorry for is that they got caught.
Twenty years ago they had prototype self-driving cars. They sucked, but they were good enough that planning started for the DARPA Grand Challenge. Some of the winners were hired by Google and became Waymo. They've been working on this for a long time.
Probably because, recently, CA passed a state law making these legal?... I also am in the Bay Area, and I assure you - we have more than enough busy bodies that would report (if they could).
All those things are overrated, putting up some videos on YouTube is no guarantee of an audience. You still have promotional work to do. And it’s not nearly as expensive to host videos now compared to the past.
The irony!

Somewhat like sibling comment, I'd be really tempted to put /home on its own filesystem, control/configure everything else with Ansible (or Chef or Puppet or [...]), and just do a fresh install every 6 months. For bonus points, automate the install part with an autoinstall file. Keep in mind, there's setup cost here; it's easy for me to say because I'm already controlling my system with Ansible, but if you're just getting started it's harder.

Within my neighborhood in California, there has been a steady pace of remodels which go through a vacant lot phase, rather than just adding on and renovating. How are such projects economic if regulations are having costly effects? I had to remove and replace a wall and also restucco the remaining walls. With the restuccoing, it was opportune to replace the windows. All this stuff had to comply with the latest codes rather than the code from the time the house was originally built. So it seems to me that the tear-downs have to comply with even more regulations so they would cost the same as any green-field house construction, without the benefits of scale.
That sounds interesting. I will take a look at it. Honestly, I haven't done any study or reading on this topic so have essentially zero idea of how it might work, especially when using a webcam.
