Does he get paid? If he gets paid, is it less than what he would have earned if he was alive? Would that lead to the situation where movies are more likely to be made with dead actors to increase the studios' profits? Would that put more and more current living actors out of work?

If you were working as a painter, a carpenter, a landscaper etc. Would people find it acceptable if you painted for an hour and charged for 15 hours? Just because they needed you for one?

To be clear, I am not attempting to demonize you or anything, but to me, this seems like a sort of entitlement that tech workers have that some other workers just cannot experience.

How can other professionals obtain that level of freedom?

I certainly hope this means having their terminator vehicles on a closed track instead of out and about. What the hell does "prioritize" have to do with "common sense"? If you throw an unhandled exception ... STOP THE CAR

In some parts of the US, 100k would make you crazy wealthy. In other parts of the US, it wouldn't even make you middle class.
It's a thumb-on-the-scales type thing. The story floats at the bottom of the front page, and its timer is reset IIRC. The votes still need to come organically, but at least a good story will stand a chance.

I've had several submissions put in the second chance queue. Some take off, some don't. There are a few I plan to keep putting in rotation myself every few months, at least for a while. (Not on any particular schedule, but as I'm reminded of them, often from other relevant discussion.)
The challenge is that it's often not possible to understand which few extra hours at the whiteboard will save you the refactoring, or even which code will be worth keeping around long enough to be worth refactoring.

I've experienced both of these extremes - days of refactoring that could've been avoided by a few extra hours thinking about the problem, and days of refactoring that could've been avoided entirely by shipping the product early and realizing it was a bad idea to begin with. I think the optimal approach is actually to sketch out a simple solution first, ship it with bugs and all to a group of small trusted testers (or even just use it yourself), and then reevaluate which parts of the product are actually useful. Then throw out the 80% that's of marginal utility and really think through how to implement the remaining 20% in a solid way that you can build upon. Repeat once you have that launched, building out additional features in the same way.

They do state that it is not an open source license in the article:

I said that in my second paragraph. I also said it’s a question of where we draw the line as to what is personal and what is shared. Do we consider a selfie personal or shared? In 2019, we consider it personal.

People are already complaining about inequality of status and partners. Why is inequality of wealth less just than those other things?

I honestly don't understand why and moral arguments are not convincing.
I find, as a consumer, I disagree with the text only requirement.

Videos are certainly off limits as a nuisance. However images convey a lot of information very quickly, and can be visually "skipped" in a way text cannot.

When presented an ad for protein powder alongside my workout diets article, I want to see what it looks like. The presentation of the product is an important factor in whether or not I pursue it.

It has to be remembered that advertising is a three way relationship, and all three stand to gain (presuming no scam). This is more complex than financials - displaying an advert leads to a bi-directional association in the consumers mind between the entity being advertised and the entity advertising it. It is beneficial to advertise products that have Brand values similar to yours (or ones you want to appropriate).

In all cases it can benefit the user to be advertised to as a means of discovery.

Many of us forget (or do not realise) that there are (and historically were a lot more) "papers" proudly proclaiming themselves "advertisers". People willingly read pages of adverts in order to discover products and services.

Anyway. Keep the image, it's worth 1000 words.

In TAM and LH cases, pilots were locked out of using full braking capabilities of the aircraft because they found themselves in a situation that didn't satisfy the conditions defined as "landing" by aircraft designers. The had wheels on the ground, but program logic evaluated to onground = FALSE.

Westjet and Turkish incidents are irrelevant. Westjet malfunctioned, pilot took control and landed safely - that's what pilots are there for. Turkish airplane also malfunctioned and gave multiple warnings over several minutes, but pilots didn't pay attention to what the aircraft was doing until stall warning activated at 460 feet, by which time it was too late. Had they paid attention, they would've also recovered and landed safely.

In contrast, Airbuses systems didn't malfunction. They worked as designed and made the already difficult situation (landing in bad weather) deadly due to not responding like a pilot would expect. The design was deeply flawed, just like MCAS.
the issue with all these (mongodb, elasticsearch, sentry, redis, etc...) is that software doesn't work with zero marginal costs, software's creation and distribution costs are different, the same goes to anything digital.

Selling 1 is the same as selling 2, is the same as 200. If anything, distribution the costs will go up due to bandwidth (unless the distribution becomes decentralized).

The problem is that we live in a world economy desgined by and for material products with (in many cases) marginal costs. Making a single paperclip is expensive, making one thousand makes every paperclip cheaper, making more makes them even cheaper. If paperclips were software, the moment anybody makes a single paperclip, anybody can have one.

Software is (or rather, digital things are) different. The best model of ownership over software does not get along with the way ownership works in the market.

That's not entirely true, it also has somewhat to do with their relaxed policy on human rights and their status in the WTO. Now that the US is looking to balance the books, China's economy has taken quite a serious hit.

That said, the UK is also part of a much older and relatively large trading group - the Commonwealth.

What you hear publicly and what goes on behind closed doors, are too very different things. I highly suspect that the US also has a vested interest in breaking up the EU, after all, it's the EU which is putting pressure on its booming tech industry for example.

I also suspect that there are multiple other powers poised to take advantage of destabilization of the EU. I also further suspect the EU has realized this threat, which is why the UK must help safeguard the EU-based banks for a Brexit deal.

The term "superpower" is not easily defined at the best of times, granted.

I think the concern is how would you tell the key that you want to enroll a fingerprint with it? On Windows, you'd use Windows software, but Linux has no such biometric management software as far as I know.
This seems fairly reasonable. It’s understandable that you don’t want others to offer commercial offerings of Sentry.

I’m happy as a Sentry user, and while we’re using the cloud offering right now in our early stages, it’s good to know that if we would crumble under the costs, we can always host our own instance. (Which of course is unlikely to
happen, what I expect to be a part of the strategy)
It took over four seconds for the system to decide swerving was not sufficient based on path prediction. The improvements made after this report would have initiated braking seconds earlier.

-5.6s 44mph
Classification: Vehicle - by radar
Path prediction: None;
not on the path of the SUV

- Radar makes the first detection of the
pedestrian and estimates its speed.

...

-1.5s 44mph
Classification: Unknown - by lidar
Path prediction: Static;
partially on the path of the SUV

- Lidar detects an unknown object; since
this is a changed classification, and an
unknown object, it lacks tracking history
and is not assigned a goal. ADS predicts
the object’s path as static.
- Although the detected object is partially in
the SUV’s lane of travel, the ADS
generates a motion plan around the object
(maneuver to the right of the object);
this motion plan remains valid—avoiding
the object—for the next two data points.

-1.2s 43mph
Classification: Bicycle - by lidar
Path prediction: The travel lane
of the SUV;
fully on the path of the SUV

- Lidar detects a bicycle; although this is a
changed classification and without a
tracking history, it was assigned a goal.
ADS predicts the bicycle to be on the path
of the SUV.
- The ADS motion plan—generated 300
msec earlier—for steering around the
bicycle was no longer possible; as such,
this situation becomes hazardous.
- Action suppression begins.

If you think that a house bought today will see the same relative increase in value over the next 20 years then yes, you'd be right. I'd argue that seems extremely unlikely for a whole set of reasons but the time will who was right.

Note that we're not just talking here about paying lower tax for 1-5 years where the property prices go up, we're talking about taking advantage of this benefit over the course of multiple decades, that's where it adds up and I doubt the same will be true for those that buy a house in Silicon Valley today at market price.
I can't stand fingerprint readers. My skin for whatever reason tends to get only about a 20% success ration over three attempts.
This generation has an unrealistic idea of where they should live (some of them at least). It's not like the people who bought houses for 100k in the Bay Area in the 1970s were making 300k a year working for Facebook. There's nothing stopping people from moving to Ohio and getting a less well paying/glamorous job but buying a house.

The solution is there today, people just don't want to take it because they want to live in SF/NY... When houses were affordable in those areas, they didn't have the cachet they have now.
> so someone's gotta pay the costs there.

I checked out yesterday from my Airbnb apartment. In addition to the normal host rating questionaire I was sent to a fairly detailed additional set of forms: as the last customer in the apartment I was asked to rate what apartment details I had found to be as advertised. The forms were optional.
This is a rather unimpressive article. Yes, brand advertising is a disaster, just like it has always been. But to say that all digital advertising has unknown ROI is ridiculous. Digital direct response advertising allows very accurate ROI calculations. (Admittedly, a lot of advertisers are not applying the tools to their advantage. They call that the "Google stupid tax". Ditto these days on Facebook.) And direct response advertising is nothing new. Mail order guys were cleaning up by running early (expensive!) experiments that showed if they were going to go out of business. Oddly enough, when you have skin in the game, you follow the money much more closely. Who knew? The fact that golf course brand advertising deals don't pay off is not news. They never have much.

The bad news for digital direct response advertising is that the platforms are starting to remove the knobs that actually let people determine and optimize their ROI. Google is in the process of actively removing ad functionality and data that has, historically, been crucial to ad profitability. Google claims their machine learning can see much more of the data available, so "trust us." Perry Marshall, Google ads guru, has recently held several webinars about "Why Google is Objectively Evil."[0] Not pretty.

There are so many energy storage devices besides batteries. Yes, they’re confident for storing electric charge, but (as I mentioned elsewhere) pumping water up into a reservoir when energy is plentiful and using it to drive turbines and generators is another large-scale energy storage system, as is melting salts, as is driving compressors to pressurise large cambers and then drive them in reverse when power dips, as is spinning up flywheels...
It depends on what are the consequences for failure. In war, lack of preparation means death of your men at minimum, and the collapse of your nation at worst. In training, failure makes you stronger.
It's a good argument for managers to create a working environment where employees are not afraid to fail. I absolutely agree that starting early is the best and fastest way to learn. Too many people avoid it because of the negative consequences for making mistakes.

First, caching. Can be done via API Gateway or Cloudfront.

Second, minimizing the function's code size. Both by making small functions and then optimizing them (there are plugins for the serverless framework to do that)

Third, using a language with a minimized cold start. Some can have cold start latences lower than 1 second [^1]

Probably a PDU telling the key to do it. Think:

$ ykmgr bio enroll

This will surely need enough computer help to initiate the process, but the actual biometric data is likely on the dongle itself.

Alternatively, the dongle could produce a wrapped key blob that contains a fingerprint. This would look almost like a normal FIDO enrollment and would allow multiple users to share one dongle with access to different keys.
And that's exactly why perfect GINI score is not 0, but around 0.25 - it balances those two goals: ensuring that everyone has their needs met and still has motivation to put in extra effort.
Its interesting to see them reason that the BSL is more open source than open core. Do others think that? It is certainly more free as in beer for most users.
This ignores the nuance. It is to level the playing field. Sentry would not be able to compete against Amazon hosting their service and reaping the financial benefits, and nor should they have to (and to do so with Amazon's resources available to them would be a Herculean task). If you're not a fan of the model, roll your own codebase.

Yeah, if you start declaring that not everybody can have kids, then you‘re in the business of picking who gets to have kids, which would be extremely draconian to impose and enforce and could be done badly in all sorts of ways.
This is really what I'd suggest to the OP, not necessarily THESE services but SOME form of out-sourced support. You can add technical redundancy until the cows come home and some bug is still going to stop things, probably with the worst possible timing. Until they've figured out enough AI to solve this issue (which would be expensive anyway, I'm sure) then I suggest adding human redundancy.
It does reduce the competition of the "We provide Sentry as a Service" kind but it still allows people to create their own Sentry-like product of which they can also provide as a service.

I found the best thing about Tinder when I used it was that by stripping down information and interaction to the bare minimum, it gets people face-to-face quickly with few established expectations, which is the best way to get to know anybody. There is so much about a person you can't learn through a web site or an app, and conventional dating sites worked very hard at getting you to invest a lot of time and work into interactions that only gave you a false sense of knowing someone. With Tinder you just showed up thinking literally only "I have seen a couple of okay pictures of this person and they thought my pictures and two lines of text seemed acceptable as well" which really set expectations appropriately and let you schedule a lot of dates without feeling disappointed about the outcome.

I can see that making a lot of sense for parents. The last thing they need is another high-pressure, high-judgment thing in their lives. Much better to meet someone and feel like it's no big deal if something doesn't click on either side. At least that sounds plausible to me.
