Similar to this article, each battle is presented with clinical detachment and a surprising depth of detail. It always walks you through the historical context and, crucially, the stakes: every battle covered by the book is decisive, since it affected geopolitical history.

The communications around this outage have been a complete mess. PG&E claimed the outage was being driven by high temperatures, low humidity, and high winds. My town, near Redwood City, was supposed to lose power today at noon. This was perplexing to us because it was not hot (75 degrees), dry (40+ percent humidity), or windy (6 mph).

But everyone has been running around preparing for the outage that we were assured would come. They’ve now pushed back the outage to midnight, but I have no idea whether that will actually happen.

And of course, their website has been down pretty much the entire day, and the phone lines are clogged. At the very least, they should have made sure the website could handle the load. They’ve been talking about the possibility of this shutdown for months, so there’s no excuse for the website being completely unprepared.

The market for end-to-end encrypted office suite is pretty immature. There're products like Tresorit[1] and GraphiteDocs[2], but they are more like text editors, than a full-featured word processor that newsrooms need.

One good google docs alternative is Zoho Writer (https://zoho.com/writer).
Zoho doesn't do funny business scanning content for Ads. You pay and you use the software, that's all (Source: I work @ Zoho). Even better, Zoho offers APIs to use just the editors, while allowing companies to retain their data within their own cloud - https://www.zoho.com/officeplatform/integrator/

For full protection, even against legal government requests, we might have to look at self-hosted solutions, which are again not very mature to call themselves a viable Google Docs alternative.

I don't know why you're on here saying nonsense, but PG&E's behavior before the fires is as far as you can imagine from "all possible precautions".

see, for just one example, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/20/us/tower-pge-safety-cultu...

I think most of California understands that no system with hundreds of thousands of miles of equipment can be perfectly safe. However, from San Bruno, caused by faulty welds on installation [1], to continuing to use ancient equipment, there is plenty of room for safety increases. And PG&E is hardly struggling to stay afloat; they recorded over $0.5B of profit 18q3 [2]. Had they not twice burned down swaths of California, along with blowing up the odd city, they would be a nicely profitable company today.

1) I'll rephrase: occasionally (and needlessly) stopping for a plastic bag (or any other false positive) should not be considered a massive improvement over current human abilities

2)
>>>you might preemptively slow down, but a properly designed system can brake a whole lot faster.

>If it can't quickly recognize large moving objects

I'm not questioning whether it can recognize quickly. Just whether it can ever be better/ faster than humans, taking into account cognitive ability.

It's whether human

(prediction-or-recognition time + reaction time + breaking time)

is more or less than

(AI recognition time + plus reaction time + breaking time)

If AI can react and brake 2 seconds faster than a human, but doesn't recognize the threat until 4 seconds after humans can, then AI drivers will kill more people than human drivers. Which won't be fine.

>being faster is a matter of adding compute power and using cameras

There are other comments about the limitations of relying only on image recognition. While compute power per might improve the AI recognition time, humans still have the advantage of being able to predict instead of react. This will continue to be a major limitation for AI.
Winnie the Pooh is a tongue-in-cheek monicker for Xi Jinping. While it's banned behind the Great Firewall, it _should_ be available outside China. But, outside China, the link now redirects to a generic regional Disney site.

Nowadays, anything that upsets the Chinese government seems to be out of bounds for large corporations. It's always about profit and reputation.

You didn't collectively oust me, and Mozilla even said so at the time (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignat...).

But let's pretend this isn't HN, and argue the other party's side as best we can. Suppose I was ousted, because I wanted to (a) nullify marriages and (b) leave same-sex couples without the legal protections of marriage as defined by the state of California?

Then I'd deserve ousting, at least as CEO (see the Mozilla FAQ on "remain at Mozilla in another C-level position"), because many people at Mozilla would find (a) and (b) intolerably unjust and wrong.

In fact, (a) and (b) are both false, and were in 2008. Retroactive law is unconstitutional, and then-AG Jerry Brown (who let Prop 8 on the ballot) said so at the time:

https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Prop-8-not-retroactiv...

As for (b), even Obama, who said in 2008 that he thought marriage should be between a man and a woman, although he also said he did not support Prop 8, did support civil unions for same sex couples, which in California are governed by Domestic Partnership law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_partnership_in_Califo...

I supported that civil unions law from inception through amendments to bring it to parity on positive rights with conjugal marriage, as did the majority of Californians. And I support the ancient principle against retroactive law.

This is all obsolete, due to court decisions culminating in Obergefell, and I accept the law of the land as it has been decided. But if one is ignorant of (a) and (b) being false, or if one chooses to hide the truth and paint me as a hateful person, then it's easy to see why others would want to oust me. I would too, if I believed the charges.

But the charges are false in my case. And they have nothing to do with RMS. I wish I had a nickel every time my name was dropped on HN to make invidious comparisons, and a dime every time I was compared to RMS.

The truth matters, and right vs. wrong matter. I agree with so-called SJWs that justice is not just a matter of law, that the law won't deal with sub-criminal behavior that social groups must confront and reject. Obviously we disagree on whether I'm guilty of such behavior! Still, better to agree on there being a category of social justice, and then argue the facts if we can.

To your closing point: it may be we should prefer mediocrity as the price of ousting toxic people, but we first should try harder to be sure of our collective ousting judgment. It was way off in my case, and in any event, the ousting pressure was not why I left Mozilla. There was an immediate anti-Mozilla reaction after I left, and the net effect on Firefox market share is hard to detect amid the long grim slide downward.

In some jurisdictions (Quebec, Korea, Hong Kong) it redirects to a generic landing page, but in others it goes to a country-specific Winnie the Pooh page. Interestingly, in China it appears to redirect to "http://www.dol.cn/minisite/winnie/", although I cannot access that page from where I am (Canada).

EDIT: Note that the redirects for Quebec, Korea and Hong Kong are not new. They were all there in earlier pages, e.g. in September 2013: https://web.archive.org/web/20130914105628/http://winniethep...

> What are you torn about?

Well, on one hand I don't like feeling manipulated and this feels like manipulation with the media being disingenuous by blaming vaping itself for some bad black market products and constantly fear mongering for views and clicks. For months there have been literal protests going on against vaping. I seriously question if they're being paid. I don't know how vaping could possibly be what drives people to take to the streets in anger over everything else that's been going on. It's all a bit sketchy how strongly they've been beating anti-vape messages into our heads. And I don't even have a reason to be oversensitive to it, I don't vape. If the entire vaping industry died off tomorrow I wouldn't be impacted in the slightest.

It is the tobacco industry however and whatever comes, they pretty much have it coming to them. I can't really feel bad if the new fun cool way to consume their product is being bullied. Vaping solves a lot of issues people have with cigarettes. It's less stinky, tastes better, and is far more discrete (very important these days when people can't light up anywhere). I know some people think they are the ones behind the anti-vape movement, but if vaping dies the tobacco industry will suffer for it.

This sounds like a template blurb, not an actual stance. I wonder why Apple didn't remove WhatsApp from the App Store in India, since it was the platform used to lynch several people in the last few years. Local law in India prohibits people killing people.

Hard forks can not magically create money out of thin air. If the "new" chain has some value post-fork, that value has been siphoned off the "old" chain (technically neither is "new" or "old" relative to each other, but bear with me for a minute).

Suppose the opposite was true. If you could create value out of thin air like that, we could all get rich just by forking cryptos over and over again. I know it _seems like_ this has been happening in past 2 years. It's an example of irrational market behavior. There is no* reason hard fork should create value.

*Sibling comment is also correct. A hard fork may create value by separating two entities which can thrive separately better than they can together. Similar to how a company that is shelling out dividends may be more valuable than a company which hoards cash.

However, in a rational market this information would be incorporated into prices _before_ the hard fork: there is still no rational reason for the total price of assets to magically jump after the event.

Back in the 70s, Taiwan was the one recognized as the official "China" in the US.

Mainland China was back then completely isolated from the world.
Once Mainland China decided to start trading and opening to the world they pushed as a condition that in order to do so, the US must stop recognizing Taiwan as the legitimate China. And because China represents such a huge trading partner this was incredibly accepted.

We must stand up against the bullies.

The phone call that Trump made with Taiwan's president and his views that the US should revisit the "One China" policy is probably the only good thing he did so far.

I smoked for 5 years up to a pack and a half a day of max nicotine cigs. One day it's like a switch flipped in my brain and I couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes on myself and my clothes. That day I went out to get a vape.

After trying a bunch of flavors I got high, low, and no nicotine juices of the same flavor. Then over the course of a year an a half I mixed in less and less nicotine. Substituting around two drops of the higher for the lower every week.

One day I just put it down because it was a hassle and most importantly I wasn't addicted any more. It was that easy.

I still smoke 1 or 2 cigarettes a month when the mood is right in a social setting, but I will never buy a pack of cigarettes again.
