The pedestrian was about 3/4 of the way across the road when she was struck, and was walking a bicycle that was partially laden with goods. That suggests that quick evasion on the pedestrian's part would have been somewhat difficult, but given that the road was empty of other vehicles, there was a long clear sight distance to the pedestrian, and there was ample space to maneuver, any reasonable driver would have been able to stop or switch lanes to evade the pedestrian.

The driver was not paying attention to the road and was incapable of performing a timely emergency maneuver (be it a stop or lane change).
Private companies should be able to censor political speech, period. If it's my desire to build a platform that is favorable to certain types of speech, that's my right and the government shouldn't be forcing me to modify my platform to rebroadcast speech I disagree with.

In terms of conservative complaints about leftist censorship, I have to simply roll my eyes. The conservatives complaining about big tech don't care about censorship, they only care about the dominance of their own political messages. This is obvious when you ask them about "democratizing speech" on platforms they already dominate like cable news and talk radio. Remember the fairness doctrine? They hated the idea of having the government dictate the political composition of the airwaves, but when it comes to big tech, suddenly they want to nationalize the platforms to their own benefit. I find the effort extremely disingenuous.

Also, something something downvotes something something censorship!!
> You need permanent ventilation, better heat insulation, better doors and windows etc. for this to work.

For many houses the better heat insulation is mineral wool and or styrofoam. Transporting either of these must be significantly more energy efficient than brick. If I look at how some old buildings are built here I have to assume that was not energy efficient during construction just from how much more material was used.

Do you have a source that better insulation requires more energy? Especially the extra windows must be more energy efficient during production as well if you look at how they are manufactured. They only extra material is a third glass pane but for that you save on a lot of extra fittings compared to old windows.

I would really like a source on why you think there is more energy used for building the house. It's very counter intuitive.
I'm reminded of Dave Barry's "Ways to Say No In Japan", which is essentially the same idea.

Yes
The dryness problem normally only occurs if the air change rate is higher than the recommended 0.3. In large buildings this requires rather sophisticated ventilation systems. There are also heat exchangers that recover humidity.

> Yes, but accidental emergency breaking can cause just as bad of an accident as this, it all just depends on the scenario.

If Volvo's system is that dangerous, then it should not be on the road at all - but there is no evidence that it is, you are just making a speculative argument.

> They had hired a driver to sit behind the wheel to monitor the road and the car for exactly this reason.

That is no reason to disable a safety feature that would add safety in depth.

> The driver they hired decided to watch a movie on their phone instead of paying attention to the road.

That was a major error - a crime, in fact - but, unfortunately, also an entirely predictable scenario that cannot be dismissed on the grounds that dealing with it would make testing more difficult or expensive. So now we have three errors.

A takedown request can't easily trigger the majority to delete something, similar to how a hard fork request can't easily trigger the removal of something from the Bitcoin ledger. A globally illicit content can be naturally chosen to be rejected by the majority, but there should be no single coordination point by design.

Somewhat less importantly, if the file is from a block deep enough in the chain (so that a reorg is not possible) and the majority decides to delete it, it only gets deleted by the majority - the minority still keeps it because it remains incentivized by the protocol.
What is a "real economic loss"?

A real economic loss is a realized loss. As long as Uber and WeWork are not closed down, their future performance is hard to predict. Uber especially is not a bad company. I love them. And if you have used Uber you ask yourself, how could you have tolerated the taxi clusterfuck so long.

No you don’t need to understand your infra from the ground up - especially as a solo founder. You should offload as much of the grunt work as you can afford to so you can concentrate on your business domain.

I can speak from personal experience that AWS business support is great even when there isn’t a problem and you just want an “easy button” for someone to tell you what’s wrong with your configuration.

This is the lie that people trot out to explain the myriad failures of American government.

There isn’t a failure of government that can’t be explained away by lying about its funding levels.

Fixed cost works on relatively simple, low risk, low innovation projects but not so much when there are lots of unknowns and emerging requirements. An example of low risk would be building a marketing website and high risk would be creating a new system from scratch to replace poorly defined business processes.
Yeah I was accepting the previous poster's contention that presenting the company to the public as multiple independent entities was considered a bad thing. If not, ok. But if it is, my main contention was that it was one factor of many, and the fact that Google wasn't doing it (if they aren't....I mean YouTube is treated as its own thing by many people), doesn't mean anything.

Anyway thanks for explaining.
I think a lot of people will find Texas (and many other states, with a few exceptions) to be very American, for lack of a better word.

This globalized world seems to give many an international perspective on things, and it's hard not to want to live in a place with cultural diversity and influences. Places like New York, Seattle, LA and SF feel way more international and diverse, and once you're there, you don't imagine yourself going back to, say, a place like Dallas. Nothing intrinsically wrong with it, but different strokes for different folks. I'd personally feel like I had traveled back to the 20th century if I had to move there.
> I shifted to VSCode from atom (before they purchased github)

It just hit me that since GitHub was bought, both VSCode and Atom are owned by Microsoft.

And somehow Windows still doesn't ship with a decent text editor out of the box...
Agreed. Be as defensive as possible, trap all exceptions (this allowed me to identify the problem and fix it very quickly, but I still had to step in and fix it) and validate absolutely everything no matter how unlikely it seems. Also go over every system and ask "what if an unexpected error happens, will it take the system down? will it prevent other requests/tasks/users from working?"
> it's better to just focus on the source material and ignore what the middle man has to say.

When you can go to the primary source, by all means, be my guest and go for it. Nobody's arguing against that. The trouble is you're not going to get very far with this approach unless you somehow have independent access to all the primary sources and also the time and resources to sift through them. If you do -- fantastic. If you're like the vast majority of people, though, this is frequently not the case for you. And whenever it's not, ignoring every middleman altogether is the equivalent of putting your head in the sand and declaring everyone is wrong.

Also of note from those documents:

* Uber had previously staffed each car with two operators, allowing one to keep their eyes on the road while the other took notes.

* Forthcoming performance metrics for operators would include "the VOs ability to keep the SDV in autonomous mode as long as possible unless there is a Fleet Desk support issue (software issue)."

Obviously not as relevant to this particular case as the Hulu streaming, but to me these details suggest safety isn't their highest priority.
Smartphones aren't really phones, that's just the name that stuck. They are hand computers that happen to include phone functionality. This is exactly the point so many pundits and phone industry insiders missed at the time.

They thought the iPhone was just a phone, and judged it in those terms. A massive mistake that allowed Apple to walk away with over 90% of the profits of the entire industry right under their noses. Their network effect advantages didn't help them, because they were obsolete. It's like hoping the network of stables, fields, saddle makers and horseshoe manufacturers will save the horse drawn carriage from the car. The network effects that matter to smartphones are app stores, app developers and services for apps.
I build my stuff on top of a stack that hardly ever goes down.

All my SaaS products run on a Windows server, with SQL Server as a database and ASP.NET on IIS running the public sites. You can probably come up with a lot of uncharitable things to say about those technologies, but "flimsy" and "fragile" likely aren't in the list.

As a result, when things go seriously wrong, the application pool will recycle itself and the site will spring back to life a few seconds later. Actual "downtime", of the sort that I learn about before it has fixed itself might happen maybe once ever couple years. At least, I seem to remember it having happened at least once or twice in the last 15 years of running this way.

There's a Staging box in the cage, spun up and ready to go at a moment's notice, in case that ever changes. But thus far it has led a very lonely life.

You are repeating the hoary old argument for fusion. That argument depended on it competing only against fission, and making grand nebulous claims that environmental and safety credits would let it pull ahead, even though it was otherwise more expendive than fission.

But fission has now lost to renewables, which are now at a levelized cost 3-4x lower than fission. Fusion's putative safety/env benefits mean nothing now.

The program now is existing on institutional inertia. I don't see this coming to anything but an inglorious end.
Know what else distorts the marketplace of ideas?

Money.

Money allows for buying advertisements, essentially allowing you to buy a platform to spread your ideas.

Having money typically has a pretty clear bias: protecting the money of those who have it. This comes at the expense, many times, of those who do not.

That typically equates to conservative policies.

I'm not convinced that the market distortion caused by supposed bias in social media moderation is even close to the distortion created by allowing money in politics. In fact in many (not all) cases of purported bias, the true impetus for action was due to hateful or otherwise harmful speech.

Nor do I agree that if we disagree with state censorship, we should disagree with Facebook censorship.

Being thrown into the legal system with threat of monetary penalty, jailtime, etc. is worthy of much more scrutiny than speech that gets you banned from a social network.
Its lack of relevance to the matter at hand not withstanding, I admit to be a bit bewildered by your question and thus feel the need to ask: what makes you think the pilot could possibly have any idea that trimmed parts from a bolt is what caused the stick resistance, or that he would spend the time thinking about that instead of recovering the aircraft in the few minutes he had at the most ...

Restarting the service and redeploying it should be absolutely the last resort and aren't really sound advice, mainly, because you are losing the invaluable crashed

I’m speaking in terms of AWS translate to your chosen infrastructure.

At the bare minimum you should have two redundant servers behind an autoscaling group with a min/max of two with health checks.

When you need to get something up now and you want to keep the crash state, configure the crash instance to be taken out the autoscaling group but not terminate and start up a new instance. You can then troubleshoot.
Additionally, permitting a test plan that prominently involved requiring all operators to break the law by operating a computer when they were supposed to be keeping their eyes on the road is quite reckless on the part of the State of Arizona.

I really don't think we should be so eager to damn Uber that we forget that there were more than just Uber employees asleep at the wheel here: Arizona has a duty to protect public safety. By permitting a self-driving car test program on the public roadways without doing even basic due diligence in vetting the program first, the State was grossly negligent in that duty.

I'm not sure what non-business reasons matter, perhaps you meant corporate mandates dictated from above?

I've made the switch to cloudbased IDE's and they are fantastic.

Granted I have my work laptop, a spare laptop (running OSX for historical reasons), and a powerful PC. The cloud IDE's--specifically AWS Cloud9, allows me to seamlessly switch between them.

It also means, I never have to carry a laptop with me. I just need my phone, and desktop class browser for emergency scenarios.

Does this mean a serial killer basically did 23AndMe and that's how he got caught?
Yes, NUMA and large numbers of core will pose completely new challenges for software optimization. Applications will have to become aware of the memory architecture of the underlying machine. They will have to make explicit assignments of memory allocations and threads to NUMA nodes based on their domain specific needs. In some cases, even duplicating data structures may be the right call. This is going to challenge how most developers write fast software.

The other thing is that even seemingly trivial things like spawning and synchronizing with lots of threads will be much more complex on CPUs with many cores. At some point, naively looping over all threads is going to be too slow. I think that the limit is going to be around 64 cores. Past that, you should actually parallelize your worker thread management to stay efficient. There is precendent for this in HPC, e.g. MPI implementations.
