> I said it was a systematic defect camera based systems share, not that it was intrinsic to camera based systems.

And I'm saying that even that is incorrect. Here is a Tesla failing to stop: https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1134987596508143617 - The driver clearly noted that aiming for a less clear spot (dangling wires) triggered a stop.

Here is another example, in which greentheonly has used root to overlay what the car sees: https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1135011184439169024 - It sees the truck but is treating some of the space under it as drivable space.

Another view, with more details on what the car considers drivable vs non-drivable: https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1134490014321131521

Also, a clear case where it did stop: https://twitter.com/greentheonly/status/1134489977801334784

The Tesla system has limitations around object identification, but absolutely does NOT just filter out non-moving objects.
Sort of. The family's hired pathologist is retired. I'm sure he cares about reputation for personal reasons, but it's not like his career is riding on it.

(... and thanks to the power of conspiracy theories, he's now got a cemented reputation forever among some circles).
How to Secure Your Whatsapp Account from Being Hacked
To me, C is a tale of the perils of maintaining backwards compatibility: there are lots of parts of C, and particularly its standard library, that should never be used because there's no way to do so safely, but can never be removed and so inevitably new code will continue to be written that uses them.
They indeed do have opt out instance wide telemetry. This is restricted to specific site-wide activity: number of merge requests created, users active, gitlab version, usage of feature X etc. It doesn’t send back any sensitive data (project names, namespaces, comment text, diffs), or give the potential to access that to a third party.

You can also view all the data it sends back in the admin console, and disable it.

Again, it’s the trust aspect. Sure, gitlab could just silently implement a phone home with all your private data (even by accident). They would be put out of business if they did, for breaking their contract with us and others. Nobody would trust them.
But does that mean that the moderator can just take one action every six months and retain their status?

You couldn't do that in a job!
I just installed it to check it out. Nowhere near as "feature complete" as CPanel, but it looks like a good lightweight status monitoring dashboard. Allows some minimal configuration changes and provides a decent HTML5 console implementation.
I'm not saying that the situation is necessarily bad, or that the people who willingly do this for free are suckers. I can't speak for them, and I don't know the conditions that the moderators labor under.

All I'm saying that the situation is still exploitation, no matter how you cut it. More and more businesses derive their main value from unpaid contributors, and it's something that should give us all pause.
Wow, that's fascinating -- I don't know too much about sports team acquisitions but it's pretty cool if that's how they work. If this is something you know more about, would you mind going into more detail about how that works?
Hyperspace Is Shutting Down

It’s been five years since we began this journey. Five years pushing toward our vision, overcoming hurdle after hurdle, each unfamiliar, each unique and unexplored. Hurdles new to ourselves and to the market in which we were operating. In which we were pioneers.

... [ content removed here to fit Hacker News' 2,000 character limit ] ...

We kept pace with increasing regulation and relied on technology not-yet-ready for primetime, navigating the new waters on tight budgets throughout the long period of our existence. However, in 2019, the operational and regulatory burdens have become a prohibitive factor. We launched HyperSpace while facing increasing resistance from banks, regulators, and strategic content partners pulling out at the last minute after a great many resources were put into the efforts.
We appreciate all of our followers who have supported us morally, financially, spiritually, and in so many other ways throughout the years. Your support allowed us to make a strong case for a truly disintermediated content economy. For a network fully operated and owned by its users. It allowed our collective voice to be heard, and our shared vision of freedom and fairness based on a new way to do Internet to permeate the world. Even without Synereo or HyperSpace, that voice lives on.

Our hearts go out to the tight community of creators that calls HyperSpace home. We sincerely hope you find a new, better one.
We have always appreciated your attention,

-- The Synereo Team"
It looks suspicious, true, but it inconveniently looks suspicious along precisely the axes that one could expect from simple prison negligence, which is rife in the American systems.

This is a real "horses and zebras" situation.
This is simply not true.

FFTP is biased in favour of the party with the largest share of the vote, or perhaps another way of putting is that the relationship between vote share and number of MPs is not linear.

And beyond this, the British electoral system has consistently favoured Labour for decades (as Boundary Commission changes fall behind demographic change and population movement)

I directly know "mindfulness" people and some TM people. They all seem to doing roughly the same thing: avoiding thoughts, or pushing thoughts out of their focus/ignoring thoughts that arise.

My bystander observation is they're all developing memory problems. Obviously mentally replaying and analyzing memories strenghtens retention and these people avoid doing it. It's idiotic.
Well, lots of the NSA kit seems extraordinary.

As to the practicalities, it wouldn't need to use the carrier network, just put it in a plane. Like the plane they have circling D.C. right now, or a drone. And your location is often known approximately.

Clojure has had only a single backward breaking change since its creation in 2008, it took 10 full years before being introduced, and it was a pretty minor one at that.

Java and the JVM themselves value backward compatibility, and I'd say Clojure takes it a notch above that.

Web Literacy for Student Fact-Checkers (2017)
>What do you mean by "reality"?

For example: is the rocket really "rapidly reusable"? Or is it theoretically "rapidly reusable"?

In the same way that all Tesla's sold since 2017 have the hardware capable of self-driving. Are they really capable of it, or theoretically capable? Until you have self-driving software or have rapidly reused the rocket, how do you know? In the same sense, until they landed a rocket, saying "we have a rocket capable of landing" didn't matter; landing it did.

I may not be articulating it properly, or perhaps I'm misunderstanding how they test these claims.
I'm curious if this same argument could be made for reviewers of scientific journals. Don't they perform the same / similar functions?
That's probably "dispensationalism".[1] This is tied up with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, involves Israel's role in "End Times", and is taken too seriously by parts of the US religious right. Searching for that term will lead you to some weird places.

I didn't take the comment to mean that other developers can't understand clever code, rather that writing overly clever code just isn't the best approach when a more plain solution will do. Writing code that takes another developer an hour to read through and understand wastes a lot of time compared to code that can be read and understood at a glance.

> We don't use code to show how smart we are. We just assume that other developers are as smart as we are.

I think it would be more accurate to say that we assume that other developers have the same amount of context about the problem as we do.

Going back and reading my own code from even a few months ago makes this very evident, as I frequently realize that I'd made various assumptions that required a much deeper level of understanding than I anticipated. The difficulty in providing a sufficient amount of context is readily apparent to me as I go back and fill in the gaps I unknowingly left.
Yeah, I saw that later on when I continued reading. I did a Find on the page and was looking for "ooo" and didn't find anything like "order of order (ooo)" because it's customary to define it when it is first used.
God I hate that term. It's not your secret sauce intellectual property, it's a fucking library.

Possibly the biggest reason FPGA/ASIC tech has lagged so hard behind CPU/GPGPU in terms of consumer use is because they have managed to use their hardware to completely stifle all open source software (they even go to some lengths to distance themselves from the term "software"). FPGA libraries are almost always encrypted and have to be treated as a true black box when designing. Doing things as mundane as interacting with a PCIe bus or simple signal filtering are all locked away behind ludicrously overpriced "IP" packages that are often vendor specific.
My "scheme", in its simplest form, is to serve the same content over HTTP to nearby phones, and has in fact one fewer point of failure - namely the old TV. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, but it's not inherently more complex. The premise is of course that this works better because it distributes the information among more people at the same time, as long as wifi-capable phones are common in the community.
Just saying, you said this is new therefore invalid. Now you talk about it being different therefore invalid. I think you are a holding a political position but trying to mask it with random requests for legitimacy.

Back to your original statement, when do you give legitimacy to a movement?

I'm confident every programming language thought it was complete at some point... but eventually it's users demand some new "hot" feature and then you're back to releasing new versions again.

The C programming language just had a release in June 2018, C18. For a language released 47 years ago... and it's a pretty basic language compared to most other languages.

Fortran was released 62 years ago, and just released Fortran 2018 in November of 2018.

Same price as the Spark when it was released. Smaller, lighter, and longer flight time than the Spark. There really is no reason to purchase the Spark unless you need to replace another Spark.

I have a Spark and I'm really looking forward to this and being out from under the thumb of the FAA (<250g). DJI has knocked it out of the park this time.
Go is not complete. But it does not evolve by revolution as of now.
This was also the target of the only submarine-launched air strike:

Their premise - or at least their navigation - ended up being incorrect though: they dropped their bombs in Oregon, and the fires were extinguished by rain before they could do serious damage.

Would you want the public restroom to scan your face to get toilet paper?
Banerjee and Duflo wrote a great book, Poor Economics, if you're interested in their work on development economics.
For what it's worth, there is a BIG difference between 22 million tons to orbit (LEO), and the Sun-Earth L1 point, in terms of delta-v.
Don't forget that China is launching more rockets into space than the US in 2018, and is close to be the same in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_in_spaceflight#By_country

SpaceX still has about 10 launches officially scheduled in 2019, but I'd be surprised if they launch half of it. And in total, for SpaceX, this represents less launches than in 2018, not to mention some of these are test launches and others serve their own Satellite venture.

Does this mean that the market is contracting? Is there less money in space launches?

I personnally find this fact more disturbing; SpaceX is a very successful venture, but the US is second in terms of launches anyway (of which SpaceX represents only about 50%) behind China, and I feel like 2019 will be a small year. Their last launch was 84 days ago (!! https://spacexnow.com/stats.php#Turn_Arounds ), and the back order sheet is not gigantic either.
The biggest drawback is that sites like Reddit become infeasible or much less useful.

POP OS seems to be trying to fix the problems every Linux user spends the first hour fixing on a fresh install.

On some Lenovo hardware it’s usable, but still so far off of power management and suspend resume of both macOS and windows that it’s not an option for someone who spends a lot of time travelling with a machine.

Desktop workstation wise it is fine.
