>The only way that AEB might conceivably make you less safe is if you pick up bad driving habits because you expect the all-knowing robot to keep you safe. This certainly applies to some people, but that's the person's fault, not the manufacturers fault for rolling out systems that are better than nothing, even if they aren't perfect.

Not quite. Imagine you are driving along a narrow but straight sections of a road. The road is wet, there are leaves on the surface and shallow puddles of water. You're doing 50 mph (or 80 km/h) and you feel comfortable because visibility is good, there are no other drivers, no animals and you can see for hundreds of meters in front of you and there are empty fields beyond one row of trees on each side of the road. Then suddenly a flicker of light or some shadow makes your AEB system brake suddenly as if trying to avoid hitting a pedestrian right in front of you. Your car's ABS does it's best, but the leaves, the water and the speed mean your car starts sliding, when the tires recover traction the whole car is angled 20 degrees to the left.You have no time to do a right turn to recover and you end up crashing into one of those thick trees still going 30 mph (or 50km/h). If you're lucky you're ok. The car is totalled. Will you buy another car with that automated braking system?

IMHO this should be the law for financial and medical institutions tc. They should not be allowed to call and ask the receiver to provide verification information.

This trick is pretty old. In Russia people receive such calls so often that they get used to ignore them. Most calls are from prisons - prisoners have a chance to make decent amount of money this way.
Actually, that's fair and makes complete sense. My bad. It's just sad to see it devolve into yet another "Japan is crazy" party :(

The privacy implications are, I agree, interesting...
I don't think people in general can really understand this. Especially now that tablets and smartphones have achieved such success, computers are probably used mostly for work. Not necessarily a job, but tasks and duties.

The programming "interface" is more or less staring at text on a monitor and clicking on buttons. All the creative work is hidden and the interface is complete crap...
How can that be perceived as fun or creative by someone looking from the outside?

Music making always had an aura of coolness, so even if a professional musician were to do that, maybe people would not see it as work.

If we were to be in a debate class, and you were assigned to argue in favor of electric trains, I'm sure you would point out that in a single month California build more than enough solar capacity to power all 16 trains for the Phase 1.

Every month for the next 5 years, California is projected to build an average of 250 MW solar (15 GW overall [1]). The highest power TGV: 12.24 MW [2]. It's in fact enough to power 20 trains.

Unfortunately it seems we went from one ineffective solution, knowledge of a social security number and some useless ‘security questions’, to the next ineffective solution.

The "staying on the line trick" is just fear mongering. On any digital phone line (including landlines, which are just SIP with a SIP-to-analog converted) the call is disconnected (as in a call clearing message is sent by the phone or converter) as soon as you hangup (which will make it all the way to the scammer's phone and disconnect the call on his end too). Re-initiating a call after this would involve a call setup message, followed by a ringtone and you'd have to explicitly pick up the phone for it to be reconnected. There's just no way for this to happen on modern phone infrastructures.
Outside of large cities it is fairly true that Japan can be dull or boring.
You’re describing and absolute failure of the ABS system. If your car has such a massive flaw little else matters, it’s inherently unsafe. Granted, if you had turned off whatever version of vehicle stability assistance came with the car and ABS had some major defect it’s possible, but again at that point you’re describing several failures.

I don’t mean to suggest the AEB system is without flaws, but if applying sudden breaking cause the break lines to rupture or whatever, that’s a serious failure on it’s own.
so you ignored the unreasonable part? or the linked story showing how this is all hurting kids?
I hate hardware tokens. Recently got one from my bank. I'm switching banks. I just don't see any advantage over a phone app (plus a phone app can offer better notifications).
If the password reset procedure is over SMS, wouldn't any interception of that token have allowed the attackers to access your account and even initiate outgoing transfers?

A scam phone call seems like a clumsy way of doing it. It also risks alerting the victim to what's going on.

It surprises me that it is legal to conduct banking operations to the general public in this way. In many countries (including all of EU since SCA) that is not the case.
Can you do this even if you are not an EU resident?
Wow. That user saying that you should be satisfied with just the ratings is crazy.

Just like parents with children, plenty would prioritise feeding the dog well over themselves. I'd do it myself. When I was a student, I have a few times. A healthy happy dog is a huge influence on my sanity, stress. The weather may be horrible out, but the dog will still love it if it's blowing a gale, freezing or tipping down. Without the dog I'd skip those trips.

The payback was huge, and magical. With PAT (pets as therapy) dogs there have been other studies, that show even temporary access to a dog for an hour in a hospital ward shows benefits. Like lowering heart rate just by patting or stroking it.

Slightly related, but I once ran an imageboard for friends and set up a hook to output the EXIF geolocation of uploaded photos to a private IRC channel.

> Probably is because your interests change over time.

They do, and the sites I visit change with them too. Visiting a site about something is as clear and unambiguous signal about my interests as you could possibly get.

The reason it's totally disregarded is, I believe, because it's simpler and more profitable to run ad networks as a market. Neither the publisher nor the ad network really care what ads are being run, they care about maximizing profits. And some advertisers (e.g. universally appealing product categories like clothes and movies) can easily outspend niche sellers.

As it is today, advertising is an act of malice, so don't expect anyone to care about the user end of the equation. You can get a better ROI by showing more user-aligned ads, but you can also get a better ROI by doubling down on the surveillance capitalism, and the latter requires less coordination.
> The above limitations partly become easier if you try to parallelize your efforts by duplicating AIs (you can collude to acquire resources and solve problems), but this means you get all the fun parts of distributed systems theory for free: coordination, replication consistency, etc.

It is also a huge assumption that 'hostile' to humans AIs would be cooperative between themselves. In resource contention situation especially..
Methane outgassing is a known issue within the Shoreline Amphitheatre itself! It's built on a former dump.

During the earliest events there in the 1980s, concertgoers seated on the lawn set it afire when trying to smoke!

(And, yes, it's misnamed. It's a theatre, not an amphitheatre.)

There are EPA Superfund sites all over the valley. One of the worst was across the street from the Ice Center and Spartan Stadium.
So the question the, becomes - if you own a dog, but someone else in the family walks/feeds it - are there any health benefits?

If not, you have a study showing that 'Dog ownership promotes regular healthy walking'.
Everyone should be spamming the hell out of Apple's feedback form if they:

- have 32-bit apps or games that won't be updated

- don't think there is anything worthwhile to upgrade for

- don't need mismatched marzipan iOS toys on their desktop

- don't have an iPhone or iPad and just want a computer that's a computer

etc.

This reeks of "we checked our stats and the normies don't care", a huge mistake for a platform once loved by developers.
When I hear fertility crisis I always wonder how it is possible to differentiate between people having children later in their lives and people not having children in the first place. As long as the age of child rearing is rising fertility will appear to go down until it spikes up one day.

This is a major point that people fail to appreciate. Prior to the mass urbanization and industrialization of America, corporations were basically irrelevant in terms of what they could do to you. People were, at any rate, much more self-sufficient.

Even if you did infuriate your neighbors to the point where the guy at the general store wouldn't deal with you - you could pick up and move somewhere else, not even that far away, and it would all be fine.

That's absolutely not the case today. If you get hit by the wrong company, you can be denied the right to participate in swaths of society. And no matter where you go, they're there. You can't get away. Their power extends throughout the country, and often outside of it too.

And as society changed in this manner, we've done nothing to ensure our freedoms remain protected. We've mostly thrown up our hands and decided by default that it was okay because at least the government wasn't doing it - even though corporations hold just as much power to make your life absolutely miserable. It seems a little silly to point out they can't arrest you - oh, sure, not directly, but they can do a whole lot to you short of that, and they can go a long way towards getting you arrested.
I'd like it too. But here's a kicker. You can pay a small monthly fee for a service to offset the revenue they lost by not showing ads. But, the service may opt to show you the ads anyway, and double their revenue. Especially that willingness and ability to pay already signals you're a better than average target for advertising.

Unless there's regulation against advertising-based business models, nothing will change, because competitive pressure will always push towards free+ads, paid+ads, and/or free/paid+ads+data collection.
Work, as in effort, tasks, projects is opposed to leisure, as in peace & quiet, recreation and relaxation.

Work doesn't just refer to performing a job in exchange for money.

Even the term side-project contradicts the idea of leisure. It implies goals, a plan of action and tasks that have to be done.
In Russia when a bank sends a code via SMS, there usually is a comment like "don't tell this code to anyone, even to bank employees".

>If you could grow your own brain as large as you wanted, and live as long as you wanted with the physical robustness and energy of a 25-year-old, that alone seems like a road to godhood, though perhaps a slow one.

A larger brain don't necessarily provide a better survival advantage. It's well known that average Homo Neanderthalensis had larger brains than our modern average follow humans. And if you don't survive, you are nowhere toward the road to thaumaturgic existence.

My reading of this article is different: indeed they do make your car safer, if you're driving it.

This article shows just how poor the technology is, and how we are nowhere near ready for self-driving cars on our streets.

> One of the big differences is that China was a unified and stable empire.

Unified, yes; nominally, for short stretches of time. Stable, no; there was always war somewhere over land and power.

Look at the animation of territorial changes at the top of [1] and at the quick succession of dynasties. Consider that each time territory was conquered or a new dynasty rose to power, this was accomplished by war; and there were many more rebellions that were defeated by the ruling dynasty and didn't change much.

No it's not just what you're paid for, I've already clarified this for two other commenters.

Grab a dictionary and you'll see something along "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result".

Unless your side projects have no purpose or goals, they are a form of work and they require effort.
Actually that's how the law typically treats things.

In the US, it is illegal (copyright infringement) to run a private server.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2010/08/the-88-million-server...

And given that, a lawyer could argue that paying to play on (or even donating to) a private server is contributory copyright infringement. I don't know if that has been tested in court.

The ethnographic research into the consumers of the people who watch such animations would disagree with you; for them, the more unrealistic the representation is, the more desirable. See the work of Patrick Galbraith and Mark McLelland, who are both respected researchers in Japanese culture studies. It is not clear that a desire for the cartoon form extends to the desire for real child pornography, just as it is not clear that playing violent video games extends to the desire to kill people in real life, or reading erotic Harry Potter fanfiction extends to wanting to haves sex with Daniel Radcliffe.
