Right, but it's surprising that Tesla would be one of those vendors since they have an ongoing obligation to the security of their devices.

It looks like their open source disclosure of the kernel source is a 4.4 kernel, so something weird is going on there. Maybe they got off 2.6 since the time the vulnerability was discovered?

I see something saying they moved to 4.4 in the 8.1 update in June 2017, which is confusing because it suggests the vulnerability was never live.

But I also see they have multiple CPUs running Linux and don't update the kernel on all of them at the same time, so perhaps the CPU running the 8686 driver wasn't updated?
Former suburbs kid here. I lived about 4 miles from the nearest grocery store. I used the sidewalks in my area all the time.

If you think that a sidewalk in a purely residential area only goes to nowhere, you spend way too much time looking at screens. Get out, meet, and spend some time with your neighbors.

Not saying it's right, but in general, updates tend to introduce pointless UI changes which are catastrophic for older people who aren't technologically inclined.

Apple itself isn't too bad in this regard, but apps do this all the time.
I remember watching a Defcon conference where they tested different methods for destroying a hard drive in place.
And they found that thermite actually doesn't damage the platters (well at least not enough for data to be unrecoverable).

Hard drive platters are surprisingly heat/chemical resistant. I think they found that the best method was to physically destroy the platters.
> One of the reasons for that is that Japanese prosecutors are much more reluctant to take a case to court which they are not 100% sure will lead to conviction, meaning the overall number of courtcases are smaller

What's the evidence for this claim? Do we have dropped cases rates for Japan versus other countries?

(Reduced incarceration rates are sometimes cited. But that's impossible to separate from reduced criminality, or the legal system's propensity to jail versus punish in other ways.)
There are limited situations where I as a user really do want pinch-to-zoom disabled. Primary example would be browser-based games. Depending on what gestures the game uses, I sometimes end up zooming accidentally on mobile, which is super annoying.

I don't think this has been an issue in the last century. Countries will take a stance on it if it actually happens.
Making it self-destruct is the easy part, just change "DISPLAY=:0 xscreensaver-command -lock" to "sudo rm -rf /" or whatever you like. It's understandable that the author didn't want to put a destructive command in his example configuration.

Postmodernist's would disagree with you heavily that the two domains intersect.

Philosophy goal is uncover truth where science is restricted mostly to the realm of facts and empirical truths.

An example would be the question of the meaning of life, science has little ability to answer this question other that to claim it doesn't actually exist or it's just a complex expression of atoms working together where with philosophy there are countless ways to answer this age old question.

There is, but it doesn't really do anything, right? They printed some plastic toys with it; it's not operations-critical.
hah that reminds me of the demotivator "Government, if you hate our problems just wait until you see our solutions".
As I've pointed to a number of times throughout this thread, we created our new official Redux Toolkit package specifically to address those concerns:

In addition, our new Style Guide docs page recommends patterns that avoid those issues as well, such as using the "ducks" file structure:

Inter-networking computers is fraught with danger: criminals are attacking your loved ones.

> In the US, many drivers will ignore the existence of pedestrians altogether.

This is pretty limited to urban areas, in my experience. In more suburban and rural parts of the country, people are much more cautious and obedient to traffic signals and rights of way. Of course there are exceptions in both cases, but running red lights, turning into pedestrians/cyclists/etc is much more prominent in major cities. As an urban pedestrian, I just have to keep my head on a swivel because there's a good chance that the taxi/Uber across from me is going to run the light that just turned red so he can make his left turn instead of waiting for his signal.
Really nice! I would love to add all my notes here, but I sometimes needs to include images, and this is a blocking feature for me. Any plan to include that?

A really nice to have would be to have inline Latex mathematical formula, but it may be too specific for your app.
> You uncritically examined the diversity activity

That's also how a company trying to do its best to cover the sometimes ambiguous intent of diversity law will often interface to academia, so it's a fair approach in this context.

(Remember, critically examining a diversity activity rather than doing what academia guides as best practice can open a company up to more liability than the opportunity to "defer to authority" on the topic. "We didn't, in our opinion, think this approach was best so we trusted our guts and didn't do it" is a much worse defense in a labor-practices case than "We followed the program as set forth in such-and-such university's diversity exercise policy handbook").
It is perfectly legal in France to have several passports at the same time. It is encouraged in fact for frequent travelers.
I don’t understand why this is a big deal. Oslo has basically made driving so inconvenient and so inefficient, that all of its benefits relative to other modes of transportation are taken away. In those conditions, for example lowering speed limits dramatically, obviously reducing deaths is not hard.

What is being completely left out of this conversation is the impact on quality of life. Cars are simply far more convenient than public transit or biking or walking, when supported appropriately by infrastructure and policy. In the absence of “traffic calming” measures (a euphemism for making driving painful) that accompany Vision Zero initiatives, cars are fast, don’t involve waiting time, and are a point to point option that takes you straight to where do you want to go.

Everything in life involves some degree of risk. I’m OK with having convenient car driving options and incurring a higher degree of risk as a result. A small number of deaths does not make me feel generally “unsafe” on the roads and I will happily take the reduced travel times as a trade off. The CDC’s data also indicates that vehicle related injuries and deaths have been falling since the 1980s, unrelated to recent traffic calming measures. I bet this trend will continue with rapid declines caused by the standardization of back up cameras, collision avoidance, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and so on. I don’t think it is worth trying to optimize for perfect safety when we already have good-enough safety, and we should retain fast travel times instead of letting the boogeyman of safety rule all decisions.
Doesn't fit my experience at all. My wife and i read ebooks all the time from our local library. Way easier than making time to go during the day and no need to worry about due dates
Pixar RenderMan
See the second link in my comment (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortContro...). Determining if the image is in the viewport is easy, cancelling the async Fetch request after it's been made is an experimental API so not finalized/available everywhere.
VR development is very difficult, and very underfunded.
Tencent has a number of security teams in addition to Keen Lab that have been around for a while: Xuanwu for example. I believe Keen Lab itself is some sort of acquisition of Keen Team, which did independent security research.

I've been using org-mode capture templates for years and I've always wished I had something like that for the whole system. I took advantage of the holiday break to build this. The UX is a lot like Spotlight, but instead of using it to find files, you use it to create quick reminders.

Very good points.

Reading the comments, I think what I was bugging is the notion that would give a task not trusting it would be done.

People point at micro-management as an effect, because it basically means providing more limited tasks with limited risks.

But I think in the long term the direction we tend to take for people we don’t trust is to set penalties (bad evaluations, demoting, firing included).

In that sense, in average there should only be people you trust at the appropriate levels of an org, so I am not sure it is important to focus on gaining trust as it builds up just by doing ones job.

That’s where I like your idea of management trusting a plan, more than focusing on the team.
License, no.

Clash Royale is popular? Sampling my entire social sphere: around where I live, everyone and their dog plays or at least briefly played Pokemon Go. Clash Royale is a title I know only from the constant advertising spam on Facebook; I haven't seen a single person playing it ever.

I know it's just a local sample, but for something supposedly more popular than Pokemon Go, I'd expect to encounter at least one player.
This pattern exists throughout history.

When you look at it closely a lot of these laws (which have roots in old religious law) do have a kind of hook into "public safety." You can - through the lens of people without the technical capability to mitigate them - understand how the causality of certain acts were reflected in the creation of the laws.

The argument that was made about alcohol was that it had a systemic, cascading effect on society. I think it's a fair argument at scope. Rampant alcoholism certainly can lead to a lot of larger societal problems.

What prohibition proved, though, was that sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

I dont think a hierarchical structure is the best way to handle something like this, as deeply nested items might also be depended on by elements from other branches.

Better would be a relational structure.

One thing I've noticed on a lot of teams is that sales/product believes their own hype and overestimates the importance of their software in people's lives. There's this belief that customers/users are waiting impatiently for features when 99% of the time, they're just not. Yes, features affect users, but often users don't know what features are coming, because they just don't care enough to know.

Software I use every day: Firefox, Slack, Vim, MacOS, Python, Bash, GCC, Android, StrongLifts 5x5 App, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Maps, Simple (Banking) App, VLC.

All of these (except maybe Vim?) have released some significant features in the past year. Of these features, I only knew about a few Python features that were coming before they came, and none of them were ones where I was thinking "I can't wait for this to come out! If this doesn't come out soon I'm switching languages!"

On the contrary, features take a long time after they come out for me to learn how to use them and for them to affect my decision making. In fact, my initial reactions to new features are much more likely to be a liability than to be an asset to the software company. I'm considering switching away from Simple because their expenses update doesn't really fit my needs, since as a freelancer I'm not paid on a regular schedule. And I'm definitely switching away from MacOS since their deprecations have broken some tools that are key for me. If they had taken more time, maybe someone would have noticed the problems and avoided them.

Sure, early on things are different: first-to-market advantage is real. But for most of the lifetime of a project, you aren't releasing killer features. You're releasing incremental changes that have a much higher chance of losing you users than of gaining you users (in the short run, at least). Never releasing isn't an option--death by stagnation is a thing--but releases should be done with painstaking attention to detail rather than urgency.

It was clear from the context that "begs the question" here essentially means "raises the question," as is often the case. If there is no confusion, there should be no need for clarification.
