If you really want self driving cars to happen then you will need to take one very important factor into account that has absolutely nothing to do with technology: human psychology.

People are not going to be swayed by statistics, they are going to be swayed by their emotions and if the self driving car attempts that 'hit the road' so to speak are going to be sub-par in the public perception even if they are might be statistical win then they will get banned. So if you are really gung ho on having self-driving happening then this should concern you too because otherwise you will never reach that goal.

Self driving cars need to be - right from the get go - objectively obviously better than human drivers in all everyday situations. Every time that you end up in a situation where a self driving car kills someone human drivers - and all their relatives and the press - are going to go 'well, that was stupid, that would not have happened to me' and then it will very soon be game over. And you won't get to play again for the next 50 years.

I think you have found a lot of the relevant law.

The relevant laws are definitely not _entirely_ clearcut. Especially in how it applies to making a digital copy like this. Which means they aren't entirely clearcut against them either. But someone could certainly try suing them. Apparently IA is willing to be a bit risk forward here.

But if they're only doing out of print books, there's less likely to be someone who _wants_ to sue them (a lot of old out of print books are basically "orphaned", there is no identifiable copyright owner, which is what a lot of the relevant laws are targetted at), and if someone did want to sue them, they'd have less chance of winning for an out of print book. (It's not entirely clear to me they're only doing out of print books?)

Don't forget that Google's ability to scan and offer previews of books as 'fair use' was the subject of a multi-year lawsuit too! Which ended in a settlement, not a court ruling...
True, prioritizing short-term gains creates incentives to lie.

I think they’re talking about Windows Hello in that blurb, not requiring some special Windows software to enable the fingerprint sensor. That would be very much against their philosophy of keeping all the processing on the device.

FWIW, the current YubiKey does everything on the device, not much of a stretch for it to also do the fingerprint sensing there too.
Is that a smart business decision though? Will that grinder actually put out more productivity?
If you wanted the absolutely easiest possible option, you can have yubikey's act as a HID and dump a string of text (password) out. Any machine, without any additional software, that can support a USB keyboard... could then use this.

I went to a talk where it labeled it as halfway between a dsl and sql. I haven't used it in about a year.

```
user {
id,
first_name
}
```

would on the back end map to a function that runs something like.

```
select id, first_name from users
```

So the fields are dynamic in a way. Allowing you to select only the data you want. You can also nest data calls, like joins.

```
user {
id,
first_name,
user_profile {
bio,
recent_comments
}
}
```

This would execute the above. Then take that user object into a query context. That query context allows you grab any elements from the parent returned object. I.E. the user id.

That would then execute the nested query like

```
select bio, recent_comments from user_profile where id = $user.id
```

So instead of rest end points. You are building a number of functions that return an object. You can then define relations that operate off of those returned objects. You can also restrict queries in production. So only white listed / approved queries are run.

A schema is a list of all these objects that may be returned and their relation also including type. Instead of a reverse proxy like nginx. There is schema stitching. Which combines all the schemas into one big schema. When querying it will proxy the respective calls to the respective back end services.

I did a talk on GraphQL a bit ago, so it may be out dated.

I've not used Graphql in production. When I was researching it's ecosystem anything outside of JS leaved a bit to be desired. That being said. It's a solution to a problem.

Openapi can generate clients. But if you need to make six calls. It's not performance or transit time. It's cleaning up the errors on that. Waiting for one to respond then another. From that vantage point I see the benefit. One query get what you need. If anything fails along the way it stops. It shifts the error checking pattern to the server.

Additionally in react and even mobile. There are redux or state machine stores that operate strictly off of graph ql. You've now centralized data retrieval, and state management of the app. That's a pretty big win.

https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/data/local-state/

All of this is very beneficial to the front end / mobile. Easing data retrieval, being more expressive and type safe. But it's the front end driving how data is presented and stored to an extent. By using graphql to get the best support you should be running on node.
The trick is to ensure the incentives for the auditors are correctly aligned and to monitor the effects.

For example corporate auditors are paid by the company they're auditing and often actually make all their money providing other services to that same company. Guess how that works out (or read about Enron if you need a hint)

On the other hand I'd say something like the Paris MOU works. The inspectors (they're doing inspection not auditing, although the things they're inspecting are supposed to have already been inspected by the Flag State, so in another sense they're just checking that work) work for the Port State, so their interests aren't directly aligned with the ship owner and it makes sense to hold some vessels, but on the other hand, your ports aren't making money when they are full of ships being inspected or held for defects, so you don't want to go crazy.

One thing I particularly like about the Paris MOU is that it uses statistics to drive feedback. If inspections find that, say, South African flagged vessels (thus supposedly already inspected on behalf of South Africa) are often non-compliant, that flag goes on the Grey List or the Black List and there are MORE inspections of South African vessels. This has two effects, it drives up the cost of choosing the South African flag for your vessels, discouraging you from choosing a flag with bad inspection regime whether because it's cheaper or to save on vessel upkeep - and it enhances the ability to monitor other vessels that might fail too. On the other hand if say, South Africa is doing a great job, any time you inspect a South African flagged vessel it's like it just came out of the factory and every crew member is a world expert who is wide awake and handsomely paid, then South Africa goes on the white list and fewer of their vessels get inspected.

GraphQL allows you to not only fetch a single piece of data, but allows you to also fetch related data, ie traverse the relational graph of data. So if you have friends, and sometimes want to fetch your friend's latest posts/pictures, you can do so as you like with one single query. In REST, you would first get all your friends, then for each of these friends get all the posts/pictures as individual queries.

In short: it allows you to query a database much more naturally in one go, rather than having to fetch data, and depending on that data then fetch more data. On top of that, it's typed, relatively easy to learn and well documented. I'd highly recommend it, even if it's a tad more complicated than plain REST.

What actually happened is that technology replaced the publishing industry. Publishing always had ads.
> It is exactly equivalent to money.

By this logic Google has an infinite amount of money because it has the ability to issue new shares. It can create a zillion dollars of new shares and sell them in the market and now it has a zillion dollars higher market cap because it has an extra zillion dollars in cash.

But it's not actually infinite, for two reasons. First, the money (or whatever you're exchanging the shares for) still has to come from somewhere. There isn't unlimited demand. It's not possible for every billionaire to sell their shares at once because then there would be nobody to sell them to. If they all tried to at once, the share prices would crash into the floor.

More importantly, if Bezos sells some shares in Amazon, it doesn't cause Amazon to have less capital. The company is still the same size. All you've changed is who owns it -- and unless the price he sells it for is dramatically lower than its current market value, it has to be some other rich people because nobody else has the money to buy it from him. The only way for a rich person to reduce their holdings in a corporation in order to spend the money is for some other rich person to reduce their spending by the same amount and use the money to buy the shares in their place -- and then the corporation is in control of that person's wealth, in the same amount as the original shareholder's.

The things that cause corporate officers to control less wealth are things like corporate spinoffs, taking existing public companies private (which then puts actual control into the hands of the owner), competitors eroding the incumbent's market share, corporate bankruptcies, etc. Two rich guys trading shares for real estate doesn't do that. At the end the corporation still has the same amount of wealth and the two rich guys have the same amount of wealth, you've just changed which one has their wealth in stock vs. land.
32-bit apps running on 64-bit Windows run using a Windows component called "WoW64". There is another compatibility layer used to run 16-bit apps on 32-bit Windows called "WoW".

Neither "WoW64" nor "WoW" are usually referred to as "hypervisors". That term is usually reserved for systems which run a full operating system using CPU virtualisation technology – Hyper-V, VMWare, VirtualBox, Xen, KVM, etc.

By contrast, WoW64 and WoW are rather thin translation layers. WoW64 just intercepts the 32-bit API calls, translates the parameters, invokes the 64-bit API, and then translates the results back to 32-bit. (WoW does basically the same thing for 16-bit calls to 32-bit.) This is possible because all of the Win32 API calls have Win64 equivalents (likewise, most Win16 API calls have Win32 API equivalents, except for a handful of obscure Win16 APIs which newer versions of Windows don't support.)

WoW runs under NTVDM which uses virtual 8086 mode, so you might call WoW a "hypervisor" in that sense (although the hypervisor is really NTVDM not WoW.) But WoW64 does not use any virtualisation technology at all.

Doesn't the second claim answer the first? You just said a trip can be enjoyable, at least some of the time.

To get into specifics, I've done LSD a few times, but never a big dose. Sometimes I've had manageable anxiety on the come-up, and often I've experienced an amazing appreciation of music that made the come-up anxiety a small price to pay. And by "amazing" I mean the difference between looking at an ice cream cone and eating the ice cream cone.

Yes, normal wall outlet. On the outside of buildings since forever for grounds keeping tools like electric leaf blowers. You see them all the time on buildings (and homes!) every so many feet in those little plastic boxes where they just flip up and are rarely with any sort of lock or key. When I've used such outlets in my travels, I've made sure to clear it with the Manager first before ever plugging in, which as I said was often a fun conversation. In my small assortment of times asking the question the majority of the time the answer, after a lot of confusion about what I was asking and sometimes which Manager I should talk to in a multi-Manager situation was "Sure, I don't see why not." A few times it was "No, I'm not sure we'd allow that," or "The person you could ask isn't in this week," and I respected that outcome.

In all the times I asked, paying for it never came up. Admittedly, when I was asking it was always a "nice to have it" request and at least to some degree I hit a sweet spot between "Hospitality companies want to agree to things that are easy for them to provide to make customers happy" and "this is new enough and uncommon enough a question that they aren't going have written policies on it yet". I was also making sure to only do it with businesses that I had an established customer relationship with (I'm staying in this hotel and/or Since I'm paying for parking here anyway). Much of the time the extra bit of electricity I was using was a drop in the bucket of the business' usual utility overhead, and/or a drop in the bucket compared to my existing expenditure (the cost of a hotel room, even the cost of parking).

(Aside rant: I think it's a scam to meter some Chargers at all. Chargers in some of the parking garages I've used or attempted to use had some outrageous surcharges to make it seem like metering was a useful value add to the process. Use something like $0.75 in electricity, tops, get a combo of $12+ in surcharges from three different middlemen [the garage, the charger company, a bonus kickback to the power company], all on top of $15-$30 parking fee just to get into the garage. You could easily cover $0.75 of electricity in that $30 parking fee.)
I'd guess there should have been a comma there, i.e., "high, low-flexibility salary." I'm young and don't have a family to worry about; I can work really hard, advance faster, earn more, and still have a little free time for teaching myself more interesting stuff. I have a salary which is higher than others who fill the same role, because my flexibility is less. I put more time into my job and available more, so I am compensated accordingly. I think that's fine.

Why not run these systems in shadow mode to collect data, rather than active? Have the human completely in control and compare system's proposed response to human's.

That post states that GPL or AGPL would be adequate for your protection needs but you opted for BSL instead due to “GPL-phobia”. So why not dual license under BSL and (A)GPL?

In regards to number 2, it's those who do not need to sell their labor and instead purchase others. There is a power imbalance in the negotiation between those who sell labor and those who employ where those who sell their labor typically need employment to survive, but employers can survive without working. Because of this, those who employ are more likely able to set the terms where an employee produces more value than they personally need at a wage lower than the true value of the work. On a macro scale this means most of us are pushed towards working more than necessary at a lower pay while others accumulate the surplus

That's in marketing materials rather then the legal ones.
