You can run a virtual X-Server, like Xephyr or Xnest. They are pretty handy and will make it easy to use root painting programs.

A million people die per year due to road deaths, about 40,000 of those in the USA.

If what you say is true then a future where robot cars kill 500,000 per year and 20,000 in the USA would be considered acceptable.

Yet we know this is absolutely not the case, no society will ever stand for such a massive death toll due to robot usage. Are there any industries today where robots are allowed to kill so many?

We accept deaths because of human failing as there is no other way, the alternative is no cars.

So for us to hand over the reins to robots they need to be near perfect, think the accident rates of the airline industry as the only acceptable goal.
We need UBI because there will be no low skilled jobs, but we have to hold back and manage a sea of water with untold amounts of resources. We'll have robots digging ditches?

Anyway, lets flip a coin and pretend this narrative is right.

Very true many countries in Europe has shifted to diesels due to lower co2 but they make the air dirty. Dirty air is bad for asthmatics.

Hybrid gasoline/biogas can be as co2 efficient as diesel if not more with a lot cleaner tail pipe air. Almost zero local emission with 10kw batteries and upwards.
Has anyone ever seen calculations of whether leveling out the roads would save significantly in energy? We are slowly getting regenerative technology into cars so we can at least recapture some energy on the way down, but avoiding the use of energy for going up would seem like an even better win. The bonus is the level roads would also benefit older vehicles not equipped to recapture energy.
Achilles tendon is elastic in a way that does store downstroke energy, to release it later during the same step as weight moves forward. The energy saved is considerable and making use of this when running instead of dropping heel first gives unbelievable results in distance before exhaustion.

(Basically every tendon is this way, hence why it's a bad idea to stretch dynamically as you're just creating useless tendon fatigue, instead doing either static stretching, plyo, or explosive iso)

From my PoV, React is already past its maximum in the hype cycle, and I see customers choosing vue.js most of the time. I have no stake in this (haven't worked with vue.js, nor with new React with hooks etc.), but presumably vue.js is chosen for React-like MVw without the jsx/babel+webpack build step drama, as a simple js lib.
I dismantled a business a couple of years ago. I let the domain lapse, dismantled everything. Forgot to cancel Google Apps. I noticed the charge still coming out of my bank account a while later, and tried to get it canceled. Couldn't log in, wasn't given the option to use the backup account, couldn't receive an email. Contacted google support. A few emails later they accept that I'm the person who is paying the bill, but refuse to cancel the account. Their last support message is "you'll have to dispute the charge with your bank".

On to bank support, who don't have a category for "service is being provided but refusing to cancel" sigh

Needless to say, never using a Google service again.

You didn’t rebut any of my points.

First, can you not buy an electric car and advocate and enact organizational or systematic change? They’re not mutually exclusive.

Second, how do dynamic systems composed of many independent, self-directed agents change? Instantaneously or over some period of time? How long is that period of time? Probably much longer a period of time than it takes to purchase an electric vehicle (< 1 minute) and reduce your emissions immediately.
That’s why we’ve rebranded it as pivoting.
> the real work on improving security ... is mostly done by ... developers whose names are never known

And it's a very thankless job.
This is a textbook example of false dilemma fallacy. Replacing ICE cars with electric cars doesn't preclude other environmental measures, and in fact, people who worry about their car's emissions tend to be people who worry about other environmental issues as well.

are those actual numbers or are you just showing it is high?

I'd have guessed it's more like 99%. isn't anything that isn't heat or noise = perfect efficiency? a normal bike chain doesn't get hot or make much noise at all, does it? seems to me just about 100% efficient. maybe transfers a bit of vibration to the rest of the frame? but not 8%-4% of its transferred force....
It could be. Rust has been stable Real Soon Now for quite some years.
The problem is time. Or lack of it. We cannot afford for the markets to work things out for us. Sure, you can shift culture and behavior but that takes time that we do not have. It’s time for drastic policy change and swift global action.

We now have hybrid buses that shut off at idle. Simple and effective noise reduction.
> Does this hold true for diesel trucks and buses and garbage trucks which are very common in cities?

I know from the hybrid buses in Boston that they are a massive reduction in noise for the passengers. When you're at a stop, it is great to not have that engine idling. Electric will only be better in that regard.

The garbage trucks though seem to make a shit load of brake noise though. And noise from trash dumping on top of trash and being compacted.

I quickly looked at pyre and pytype. I wonder : is there a static analyzer for Python that can check for termination guarantee in small snippets of code?

The idea is to have a "safe" and "unsafe" Python (ala Rust) according to some guarantees. Proving termination of program is hard, but it is doable if dev time is dedicated to it, and algorithms are well chosen.

That way, some core libraries could be rewritten and give stronger guarantees.

The idea is used in https://github.com/google/starlark-go which is a subset of Python. People who are used with Python can use it to write imperative config files, and the files are guaranteed to not mess with sensible stuff

> Expectation of privacy in public places has never been a concept anywhere.

This is untrue. Naomi Campbell was in a public place, but courts found she had a reasonable expectation of privacy. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1461187/Naomi-Campbe...

In England you can't just set up CCTV to monitor public space, you need to register that with the ICO.
Sure, I’d be interested in seeing actual data. Which is why I qualified my statement with “probably” because of course I have anecdotes that counter your anecdotes. :) I just don’t have the time to look into any primary sources.
At least peak air pollution seems to have been passed, so it'll only get better from here (it's still a long way down though).

The situation at the moment is a bit difficult in that reducing some of the emissions will actually result in more pollution, since the pollutant mix undergoes chemical reactions and some components deplete others.
I don't think you need to go to war for that. The EU is aware of global warming and is taking actions to lessen their emission even tho it is still to slow. The most important part is to reduce the overwhelming consumption of the western world and then teaching and investing in the developing countries to prevent them to have the same habits we have/had.
I mean we're going in circles here, it's not needed to start those plants in summer anyway so...
Eco-friendly behavior does not abide to laws of matter conservation. I see no reason to suspect people who reduce carbon footprint using X would stop being vegetarians for example.

In fact, everything I know suggests the opposite - environmental engagement is always a positive feedback loop.

His argument was that lidar is a crutch because people do it without lidar.

Except people don't drive reliably in inclement weather at all, so you don't really want that as the gold standard.

This is not an old idea. This is common sense: how can you expect privacy in a public place?

Taking pictures of someone specifically may be different because that may be harassment.

But in general ending up in pictures and films of others because you were in a public space fits in the standard concept of what a public space is.
This is so 2017
The best noise reduction measure in cities is to limit cars to 30 km/h. Which, by the way, also actually reduces the time it takes to get to places by car (because you need fewer traffic lights), apart from obviously making the city much safer for bikes and pedestrians.

Well, in this context, you could accuse me of being a 'wumao'.

You would be completely wrong though because nobody is compensating me for writing any comments here and I do not belong to any group.

I am quite disappointed because of where these protests have lead. People would have you believe that 2 million people in HK are against the police but there is no basis for believing that as far as I can see.
Let's not forget:

- Producing cows is resource-intensive. Water and feed could be used more effectively elsewhere.

- Consumption of red meat and dairy is generally unhealthy.

- Runoff from cow "pastures" is effectively pollution.

Encouraging less use of cows because of their impact on climate change was a win on a number of levels. Not any more.
Others have commented about the human aspect.

> Two cameras of any resolution spaced a regular distance apart should be able to build a better parallax 3D model than any one camera alone.

This is true if the platform isn't moving.

If you have the time dimension and you have good knowledge of motion between frames (difficult), you can use the two views as a virtual stereo pair. This is called monocular visual/inertial-SLAM. You can supplement with GPS, 2D lidar, odometry and IMU to probabalistically fuse everything together. There have been some nice results published over the years.

But in general yes, you'll always be better off if you have a proper stereo pair with a camera either side of the car.
With the failure modes we’ve seen from deep learning and related AI, maybe the statisticians are on to something?

Not really: having an animal in between makes you waste a lot of energy (because the animal only spend a fraction of this energy to build muscles, and the rest is just burned away to sustain its metabolism).

You can take the problem the other way around: the limiting factor is land, and if you have 1 square kilometers of (somewhat fertile) land, you will feed many more humans if you grow potatoes, wheat or rice on the land than if you feed a cow on this land (whether you fees the cow directly with grass or grow corn or soy on it to feed your cows).
Below is a non-technical article on the subject.

Large heavy utility diesel trucks like garbage trucks have huge engines, extreme start-stop patterns, lots of shifting. Those are loud by themselves. Also, they are low production volume and are only noise insulated in as far as regulation requires them.

I bought my EV for three reasons:

1. Traditional car maintenance is expensive and sucks

2. I'm betting due to natural disasters in the environment and in the Oval Office we will see fuel prices continue to rise

3. While I don't think it will save the planet by itself, it can certainly save lives. Emissions are dangerous to breathe in and we are willfully ignoring it.

You're right, it's completely irrelevant to them. But can you honestly say that the mainland Chinese great, great children have also forgotten about it? Why not? It's because it's convenient for HK to forget whilst it was a fundamentally defining moment for China that influenced the end of the Qing dynasty, the end of over 2000 years of imperial rule and the creation of the communist-based political ideologies we see today. But by your logic everyone forgets about everything given enough time? That just strikes me as naive and a form of denial.

I still don't think you understand my point. I'm not saying that HK doesn't have a right to fight. I'm saying that they're not like Taiwan or all the other peoples that naturally came to their differentiated political stance - HK simply doesn't have history and destiny on its side, so it's always going to be that much more of a struggle.

Maybe another example will make it clearer. I have the right to protest against the bear that's attacking me, but I don't have a right to ask the world to change the fundamental nature of bears as if its a matter of geopolitics. Bears will always be bears. Bear violence has nothing to do with communism or democracy. And so it's a waste of energy to entertain that idea.

I don't like what China is doing to HK, but Britain walked into bear territory. Let's not argue about how wrong bears are, let's be sober and treat bears as bears, not as symbols of anti-democracy that might somehow appeal to diplomacy.
Cars and air-con are the main offenders there, right?
I didn't read the whole article because it is excessively wordy, but it romanticizes the protesters and the summary at the end is incomplete. If you have the courage, please look further; this is more nuanced than your mischaracterization of me.
This has happened to me on a Sunday albeit with a hosted server running that awful cPanel version of linux.

The backup was what killed it, it ran out of disk space and the box keeled over. I could not believe the backup program was that stupid to back up twice as much stuff as it had space for and then to kill off the important processes to keep the backup running until zero bytes were left.

I have also had a close one with mySQL replication, it took the disk to fill up before I configured it to purge the logs. My own stupidity is to blame for that one.

Log files are going to be the killer, run a linux box for long enough without any log file rotation and the disk is ultimately going to fill up. I can't imagine that a decade ago when this server was built that there was a rack of terabyte SSDs in there.

Email is also an area that just grows and grows. The email doesn't even have to be used, just your system message stuff.

A lot of people already don't buy shit. At all.

I mean after about a decade I finally gave in and bought a used TV (instead of using a PC monitor). I already don't fly to useless tech conferences, and work remotely (so no mindless daily commute).

And eventually when the e-charger network will become widespread enough around here, I guess, I'll buy a used EV instead of the current car, because cities can't ban these smoke machines fast enough.

And when the choice is presented I already buy local stuff.

But.. this is a luxury for me/us, because of the enormous income inequality bonus of IT/tech.

Those who already live on the edge won't pick the local things, they will pick the cheapest one. And the way to make the GHG-friendly stuff cheap is to tax the shit out of the GHG-positive things.

And that unfortunately seems like a pretty hard challenge, thanks to our wonderful society favoring chauvinists rhetoric, trade wars, nationalist triades, and other bullshit.

So, yes, in terms of the big picture EVs don't matter much, but without even presenting an alternative, it'll be quite impossible to persuade the other half of society.
