>I've never heard of this happening, and certainly have never been offered a kickback myself to take a book.

Well, if you're the type to never have noticed this happening, they surely wouldn't try to contact you.

This is very common all around the world, including the US. In fact, it has been written about since time immemorial, even Feynman mentions his experiences:

"One book in particular drew his attention. It was one out of a three book series. During a meeting he was asked by some of the other committee members what he thought of the book. He responded that he really couldn't say, that he hadn't received it. One of the members continued to press for an answer. After Feynman repeated himself a second time, a book depository employee piped up and explained that he had elected not to send the book on to the committee members. The publisher had missed the deadline and substituted a book with blank pages instead. They had included a note explaining that the book would be ready in time and hoped it could still be considered.

The amazing part of this story is that several of the committee members had nominated the book for inclusion on the approved list!

Feynman went on to talk about the unsolicited gifts he received from the publishers. He kept sending them back but one incident took him completely by surprise. He had arrived in San Francisco the evening before a committee meeting. He left his hotel room, intending to wander the streets to find a place to eat. As he walked into the lobby, two men popped up, greeted him by name and asked him if they could help him in any way. He explained that he was just going out and no thank you. They persisted. He said, "Look, I'm just going out to get into a bit of trouble." They responded, "Maybe we can help you with that too." He demurred and then later kicked himself for not seeing just how far they would go and documenting the evening."

I’m not the only one questioning these claims:

https://qz.com/1414132/teslas-first-accident-report-claims-i...

Tesla’s autopilot miles are primarily driven on highway miles (in low speed, bumper to bumper Bay Area/LA traffic), in new cars (with well engineered safety cages and multiple airbag systems) which are well maintained (Tesla owners are unlikely the be driving on bald tires and experience blowouts), unlikely to rollover (one of the most fatal accident types) due to battery weight distribution. The car, without autopilot, is much less likely to experience fatal accidents. Couple that with the type of autopilot miles driven, and I expect sober human drivers in the 30-69 age bracket would have been less likely to experience accidents in those same miles.

I expect Tesla is intentionally trying to cloud the statistics to build the public narrative that self driving cars are safer. I believe that Tesla truly expects them to be safer eventually, but they’re smart enough to have the numbers on equivalent human driver crash rates... I’m sure that data was compiled by a very energetic Tesla engineer, put into an power point deck and emailed around. Perfect for a lawyer to subpoena.... and prove that Tesla knew their product wasn’t.....

And Tesla isn’t the only self driving aspirational car company pushing the “self driving cars are safer narrative”. Even Waymo (or maybe the media) claims their vehicles are involved in fewer accidents per mile... but they’re not self driven cars. They’re self driving cars with a human overriding the car’s decision every ~10k miles. Human drivers have an accident approximately every 500k miles (eliminating the under 25 and over 70 age bracket, and non-sober drivers - I expect that number to be closer to an accident per 500k-1M miles). So, a self driving car, without a human, would have been in some type of bad situation 50 times in those 500k miles a human would have driven with just one accident. My suspicion is that in a high fraction of those 50 disengagements, there would have been an accident had a human not intervened. My real suspicion is that self driving cars without human supervision are 50-100x worse than humans.

Lawyers are the only ones who are paid to figure out if my statistical assumptions are correct and to bring them to light.

And yet, I drive with Tesla Autopilot every day. Why? Because I believe that on a portion of my commute, it’s absolutely a better driver than I am. That portion of my commute is straight high speed traffic, periodically interrupted by people slamming on the brakes. It’s boring and mentally draining at the same time. I wish everyone on that portion of the freeway was driving with Tesla autopilot, as accidents are the major cause of my commute delays. Those 20 miles of new, well
maintained, straight, properly marked freeway miles, driven during perfect weather, not into the sun, are ideal for Tesla autopilot. Nobody should take those ideal miles and extrapolate them to the rest of my much more dangerous commute.

The introduction of weapons was gradual, and except for Batman, they are either historical or futuristic.

From my observations as a foreigner in Denmark, historical or fantasy weapons like swords, spears, shields, clubs acceptable and common. A 6 year old might have a wooden one, and be seen anywhere in the city. A 16 year old might have a foam and fibreglass one, and be seen LARPing in the woods at the weekend. A gun that isn't clearly a water pistol is a rare sight.
He has a point, right? There's a possibility of clear sampling bias: if there are X miles that are safe and Y miles that are dangerous and autopilot can only be engaged in the X miles, then it's not creating safety, but the partitioning will cause it to appear to be safer than the human. If the partitioning had been done without autopilot the two partitions may show similar behaviour.

I was working with first ElasticSearch versions when Shay was the only developer. At that time, I was impressed how Shay was responsive, friendly and overall ES had good design, compared to Katta [1] we used in our product.

ES was my go-to search engine since, but something fishy started to happen with elastic.co from 2018. They changed the license, started to use dark patterns for downloads and product names and this message from Shay, where he invites Search Guard users to use 'free security features' (which aren't free at all) from elastic.co, is low blow, not for Search Guard devs/users, but for ES users as well. If I develop a custom plugin for ES and charge support for enterprise users, how will I know they will not come after me simply because they have similar addon?

As one comment noticed, alleged code is too common and can be found in Lucene as well.

I'm hoping this will end well, but elastic.co brand isn't going to be the same.

(Also, elastic.co isn't immune to taking over other work as well [2]).

I remember our first night home with our first child. It was an extremely difficult birth(long labor followed by a C-section due to complications) and so my wife needed lots of sleep(we only got 3 nights in the hospital and she was in no way recovered).

My 2c, instead of building autonomous cars/robots which work in our current cities, we should just redesign our cities to cater for these new ideas. We could have an autonomous delivery system with current technology if we just put aside some dedicated space for them to operate. No fancy AI, just good old fashioned sensors and control systems. Put roughly pallet sized tunnels under the roads, and it doesnt even have to encroach on public space. Way less problems in the long run IMHO.

NTSB Report here: https://ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/HAB1... (found it here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/4/20849499/tesla-autopilot-c...)

Copying: When the last lead vehicle changed lanes—3 to 4 seconds before the
crash—revealing the fire truck on the path of the Tesla, the system was unable to immediately
detect the hazard and accelerated the Tesla toward the stationary truck. By the time the system
detected the stationary vehicle and gave the driver a collision warning—0.49 second before impact
—the collision was imminent and the warning was too late, particularly for an inattentive driver.
The AEB system did not activate. Had the driver been attending to the driving task, he could have
taken evasive action to avoid or mitigate the collision.

So there you have it: "particularly for an inattentive driver".

Not really an expert in the field, but I think a major problem with self-driving in general is handing over from an autopilot to a human. This is something that cannot be easily solved just by throwing smarter technology at the problem. Even if autopilot technology manages to be reliable 99.9% of the time, this won't be good enough, because people will invariably think they can rely on it 100% of the time and fall asleep or get distracted. So this 0.1% can be potentially catastrophic, because you cannot go from being asleep to full alertness in 0.5 seconds. Besides, even if one actually wants to maintain alertness, it may be harder to be alert and not doing anything than being alert and doing something (driving).

So, unless autopilots can really really handle anything thrown at them, this will be a real issue. Although there is much willingness for people to convince others and be convinced that this kind of autopilot is very close to being a reality, I suspect it may be not.
This is why connected cars are hoping for a quick spread of 5G. A fully-fledged 5G network would have transmitters placed on every other lamp post with a stable connection to the backbone. With such a system, the rtt should come down to sub-50ms for high priority traffic if properly set up. The obvious downside is the amount of transmitters and fiber you need to set up for this, but the smart vehicle people are seemingly quite confident in their ability to convince operators to install such a network.

A 200ms round-trip would still be comparable to some drivers on the highways right now, but it's certainly suboptimal.
I agree that we shouldn't chase magical high tech solutions, but not for your reasons. We don't need high tech solutions, because we already have all necessary technology. It's just a matter of political will at this point. Wind, solar, batteries , electric cars, power-to-gas, home insulation, heat pumps; all this exists already. We just need to build a shitton of turbines and panels.

Just to clarify that - having had a baby in the UK in the past 3 months - what you say isn't correct (at least for England and Wales; I can't comment on Scotland and NI but I very much doubt they have different systems).

Mothers are frequently discharged from hospital the same day, or the following day. My wife had some (relatively minor) complications and thus had a 2 day stay. This is longer than average. Even mothers who had C-sections (i.e. major abdominal surgery) seem to stay <= 3 days, unless there's bigger complications.

Once home, the mother's 'midwife' will make home visits 2-4 times in the first week before 'passing' the care onto a 'health visitor'. They will also visit at home (1-2 times a week) for the next few weeks, before this becomes an at-clinic care.

There's also 'infant feeding nurses' (i.e. breastfeeding support) as needed, although this one does vary per area.

So it's no-where near the Netherlands level of care (having someone do the chores those first few weeks would have been very useful!), but it is definitely not the case that "you're on your own" after leaving hospital after a multi-day stay.
There's also a "hidden agenda" behind this supply box.

In order to receive it, the mother needs to sign up for a health check (provide by the public health care system) and I believe you are supposed to do that before the 5th month of pregnancy.

This gives the opportunity to detect potential problems early on, offer guidance if there's reason to suspect substance abuse and so on.
While writing is ancient, in almost all cultures the ability to write hasn't been widespread until a few centuries ago. It just isn't that useful in agriculture when books cost a fortune, and historically almost everybody was a farmer. I doubt an ability possessed by a small portion of the population over a few thousand years had a large evolutionary impact.
Wasn't / isn't that the case in Europe and North America as well? At least for middle class families.

It was very definitely my parents' policy. My sister and I had Duplo, Lego, wooden blocks, Lego Technic, Mecanno, a train set (sorry dad, "model railway"), K'Nex and board games.

I’m not saying these are the only two options by any stretch, but given the choice between a TUI and an Electron app there’s no contest. I like that a TUI is constrained by the view layer; that is there’s no images or videos to render, no HTML to parse into pixels. It keeps things naturally light and if it’s complex to use I’m fine with that too.

They also work on the server. You’d be hard pushed to find anyone who says installing an Electron app on the server is a good idea.
Baffled by your comment, some research shows that it is a play off of logic with AND and OR, subbing in IN as a preposition to alter the entirety of the statement. While I find the word play silly, I think the phrase's usefulness ends there.

What point are you trying to make?
It's a kind of embrace/extend process:

- new ideas come to an enterprise

- they decide to apply it and see the "shortcomings"

- apply additional processes to where they feel it doesn't match

You end up with something not so far away from the original process, but slightly changed and more marketable. It can have noticeable good effects, but usually doesn't end up being any radical change or revolution.
