Sure, since the speed of the plane is about 8 times higher than an automobile cruise speed, obviously deaths per mile will be lower as each successful trip puts a lot of death-free miles in the books.

Also, these statistics are about commercial flights on perfect routes v.s. all the drivers on all kind of roads. I looked a bit and it seems like the accidents on the highways are significantly less likely and the deaths rete per crash is lower too.

A fairer comparison would be small chartered jets v.s. Uber, commercial coach services v.s. commercial flights on similar routes and so on.

I don't know even if it's a meaningful comparison anyway, on long journeys or on short ones they do not overlap.
Not exactly. sort (at least GNU sort) will end up doing external merge sort on temporary files if you give it more data than you have memory. Which, if you give it 100GB of 5 different strings, ends up being a huge waste.
It's true that the laser frequency is sweeping, but it very well may not be over the same band. The sweep bandwidth in a typical lidar is likely in the 1-10GHz range. The carrier frequency of the laser that this modulation is riding on is probably in the neighborhood of 200THz. Let's say you're using a telecom laser at 1550nm. The actual wavelength of that laser will centered on some channel in the 1530-1580nm band, with each channel spaced by say 100GHz. So already each laser might intentionally be in a different channel, depending on chance and how many cars are there. But even if they are in the same channel, the chirp bandwidth is small compared to the channel bandwidth, so there will likely be at most only partial overlap, depending on where the respective center frequencies actually are. Unless your lidar is using a very expensive, very fiddly laser system, this center frequency will be drifting around within the channel all the time. It varies with
temperature, mechanical stress, output power and a bunch of other stuff, depending on the type of laser. However, even if the lasers are magically in the same channel, and perfectly locked to the same center frequency, you still need the light be coherent to produce an interfering RF signal. They will not be coherent.

Certainly the balanced detectors will have finite CMRR. In general you definitely have to make a good detector but it doesn't need to reject to 100dBc. A photodiode might have 100dB of dynamic range, but most likely your RF front end does not, and more importantly for most applications you will be dominated by photon shot noise, so you don't need to push common mode signals all the way to your electronic noise floor. 35dB of rejection works wonders.

So jahaja raised the question, "What do you have to lose?" (by unionizing). And in response, Kalium said, "Our industry". That is, unionization often raises costs for companies (better pay, fewer hours and more benefits cost), and those costs could result in fewer jobs.

jahaja replied that "this doesn't hold up to a straight forward comparison to many European countries. If labour costs would be so detrimental to employment we'd still be queuing to the transatlantic ocean liners." Which seems to be saying that unions in Europe aren't costing jobs, so why should they in the US?

In reply to that, AndrewGaspar compared unemployment rates between the US and Europe. They are relevant to the question of whether greater unionization will cost jobs.

So: It is very much making an argument - that greater unionization costs jobs. And Europe was introduced by jahaja, a union proponent, not by the anti-union types.

But you, why do you keep trying to dismiss the topic without actually answering the point? The question is whether greater unionization hurts employment, your side raised the comparison of Europe, and the European unemployment statistics are grimmer than the US ones. Are you actually going to contribute something to the conversation, or are you going to keep trying to distract from the question at hand?

(Many of us would take your approach to mean that you know you that unions can cost jobs, you know the European data supports the point, and you just want to hide behind smokescreens because you know you don't have an answer. That's the impression you're giving. So, last chance: Do you want to concede the point? Or do you want to try to refute it?)

I don't mind unionizing factory work on institutionalized sports, even though that can go poorly in some cases. There are some industries that have finite requirements and no amount of union bending can change the nature of the industry. There's only a few games that employ enough people to become an institution that requires worker protection. Star Citizen, Blizzard, Riot Games are institutions in their own right. Thousands of indie games are not and can make good wages or average wages by working solo or in small teams. Forcing these people to work to union rules (which will happen with union capture) breaks the model of independence for the sake of salaried employees. The large companies will merge and the industry will die. I can't agree with that.

>so they could solve the problem they themselves created

I don't know if I agree with this assessment. Apple is, to a fault, driven by the user experience of their products and what the "ideal" of a situation should be. It's very likely that AirPods, or some early variant, was discussed while Steve Jobs was at Apple and the conversation probably went something like:

"What would be the perfect user experience for listening to music on an iPhone?"

"I pick up my phone and hit play and the music plays directly into my ears."

AirPods are about as close as someone can get to buying the product, putting them in their ears, and immediately listening as you can get. They set themselves up as soon as you open their case and they automatically connect to the active audio device when you put them in your ears. No one would ever add a wired cable to that process unless they absolutely had to for technical reasons. The only way to make this even more ideal is that the listening device is already in your ear or they can beam the audio directly into your ear canal without some kind of device you insert.
As a user, I want it in the User Agent. I don't even know what the point of the bloody notification is. Set a cookie and redirect and see if you get it back if you want to know if I'm going to preserve your shit. Don't ask me this crap.
I effectively exclusively use my AirPods when working out. That alone would skew any medical data dramatically (avg. heart rate, blood pressure, etc.)

My first performance review came 6 months after I started at IBM. I was basically told that I did everything perfectly but I still got what amounted to a middling "satisfactory" rating. My manager told me that I will get a better score next year if I change nothing about my performance, and the "satisfactory" rating was due to company policy and my not having worked there a full year yet. I later learned that managers have a budget of how many good/medium/bad ratings they can hand out, and the choice of who gets what is 100% arbitrary and up to the manager. Big company politics I guess <shrug>. I proceeded to have many much better years after that, fortunately.

So, it appears to be a plug-in system to do automated cruise control and lane assist and driving in stop & go traffic.

Out of curiosity, I checked for my car. It says it's not supported. BUT, Comma is open source, so I could add it myself.

Does this imply they're encouraging anyone to write buggy code and drive their cars with it?!?
You think a lifelong clown phobia doesn't count as damage?
The Comma One source code was put online (I think by the author?) and deemed to be incredibly dangerous. If I recall there was very little error handling. Does anyone know what has really changed since then?
True. But $10 x 12 = $120 subscription per year. That's a decent buck and a fairly large market.

I agree, and as TFA mentions, shell scripting is an "incoherent mess of composable paraphernalia" where you have to memorize a “weird mishmash of trivia” -- but if you have memorized it, then you can do some neat stuff without a so-called "real" language installed (that you have to upgrade and have to worry about if you have a modern version installed)
Not explaining, trying to tell that you are comparing apples to oranges and making a conclusion based on that.

Also, you don't need to spawn a subshell nor feed sort via stdin in the first example :)
I found that after I wrote the comment and had the same question. Also, what does "adding it" look like? Do I have to somehow interface it with the car's computer or other systems? I'm rather confused.
If there is anything about Comma.ai that I have seen beyond the hype of self-driving cars, I see this as substance, unlike the rest of them AI self-driving cars (Except Tesla). The idea to turn your existing car into self-driving rather than spending $$$ on a new one makes sense for those saving money.

Comma.ai is for cars what Linux is for PCs, meaning that you use open-source software and a hardware kit to make your existing car self-driving. Very clever!

I disagree with you wholeheartedly and without condition.
Not only are you discounting how much time it takes to learn how to program effectively in a real 'glue' language you are high handed in ignoring the ubiquity, working archive and efficacy of a shell script. Not to mischaracterize but I find this type of attitude most frequently in 'lead' individuals with less than 10 years experience: typically 20's and 30's in age. I'm curious if this is your case?

What evidence/reason do you have for the claim that annual is unappealing to most? (I'm not advocating anything here, I'm hoping to learn something.)

Yes, but the low hanging fruits have already been taken. I suspect the next round of disruptions would be more difficult and less profitable.

>My single instance of using an iPhone resulted in total failure in determining how to switch between two running apps. I kept ending up on the home screen and having to click the app's icon again.

Except this was exactly how the original iPhone handled app-switching. It was only by getting people used to that paradigm that modern smartphones were even able to introduce mobile multi-tasking. At the time of the iPhone's release, Blackberry was king and switching apps was a matter of hitting the "Back" button over and over again until you got back to the main menu of the Blackberry OS. On some models, you could click on a scroll wheel/ball and click "Go back to App Launcher" (or something similar). Precisely what the iPhone did was give people a home button.

I hear people say this everywhere, but I still find myself needing to manually pair my iPhone with my AirPods around 50% of the time whenever someone calls me.

The battery life is also rubbish, they regularly fall out of my ears and they don't work with my (non-Apple) MP3 player.

Giving credit where it's due, though, the microphone quality for phone calls is exceptional given the orientation and how far away they sit from your mouth.

Otherwise, I really don't get understand why these things are so popular (which just shows how little I know about consumer goods and marketing). Mine were gifted to me, but mostly go unused for the reasons above. I probably wouldn't complain if they were $50 a set, but I'd never dip into my own pocket for whatever obscene amount they cost now ($200?).

I think one of the strokes of genius for Apple here was the fact that they made AirPods work just as well with Android phones as they do with iPhones (minus a few secondary features).

Back when i bought airpods 2 years ago, I still had an Android, and they blew me away in terms of UX. Up to that moment, i have tried and failed to find a pair of fully wireless earbuds that worked as well and sounded as good (for earbuds, obviously). And even today, out of all people i know with android phones, about a third of them use airpods. Each one of them had a similar story of quiet dismissal of airpods for quite a while since the release, then they tried them, and bought them shortly after.

P.S. as of now, there are a few good non-airpods truly wireless earbuds that are solid alternatives. Back when i got them, however, every single model out there I tried had some critical flaw. Things like dropped connection or sound getting choppy and stuttery in certain areas. It mostly happened on busy street intersections, so i guess it had something to do with interference from a lot of other bluetooth devices, because the exact same thing used to happen to bluetooth connection in my old car at one specific heavy traffic intersection.

I don't think all Americans are inherently anti-union, just not inherently pro-union. Some of the issues you cited are real, and I think some of it can be addressed by unions. However 2 issues I see:

1) Unions aren't appropriate for all places.
2) The currently implementation and behavior of unions in the US are not all that great. For example I'm turned off of unions based on personal experience.

So for me, given the choice to vote I'd vote against an union at my current work place.
Kubernetes Performance Troublespots – Airbnb's Take
Audio quality is only one of the metrics for comparison, including:

- form factor (my powerbeats pro case is huge compared to airpods)
- handoff between different Apple devices
- BT reliability/connection strength (mostly down to BT 4 vs 5)
- fit and finish
- noise cancellation

People weigh all of these things differently to arrive at what is "best". If a broad range of wireless buds all meet someone's threshold for acceptable audio quality, the other factors will be deciding.
