Tesla refuses to add driver monitoring like others do and calls driving assistance Autopilot.

It's common human bias to fall a sleep or do something else as long as the car works 99.9% of the time and you have noting to do. You can go on days, weeks, months even years without accidents and then you die or get injured.
I somewhat disagree.

Safe rust solves the memory safety problem. However, there is still the possibility of a logic bug causing rust to touch something it shouldn't.

The sandbox approach is about adding a second level for malicious code to bypass. You now not only need to find a way to get past the code, you also need to find a way out of the sandbox.

It's a little like running your apps on a server with highly restricted permissions. You do that so the app compromise limits what is exposed.

If I were CEO of a behemoth giant like Disney and held the credit for its rising in several industries, I'd bounce ship before it all went down to avoid any blame?

Maybe I'm naive, but this thought crossed my mind.
No. Or rather yes, but it also generates equally more opportunity to be unlucky. So the two cancel out.

These two avenues are completely orthogonal to each other. There's no reason that you can't create a path out of homelessness, but still make the time somebody spends homeless more pleasant. Effort in one doesn't negate the other.

And yes, without a doubt adding visible class distinctions between the down-on-their-luck homeless and the violent, destructive homeless would almost assuredly make life better for members of the former. You may still oppose the idea on other grounds, but there's absolutely no reason to doubt why raising a sub-group's social class status wouldn't improve their life.
They do better than most other studios, but that's a declining segment. Also, it represents a very, very small part of Disney's overall revenue. If everyone literally stopped going to theaters tomorrow then Disney would still be earning billions a year.

Also, you can't blame the CEO for sales being down during an epidemic. No one else would do better.

This quote is brought up often but it should be taken with some skepticism. As user GatorD42 pointed out when this was brought up before:

>...Baum claims Ehrlichman said that to him in 1994 while he was researching for a book he published in 1996 about the drug war. He didn't include the quote in that book, but instead published it in 2012 and again in 2016, after Ehrlichman had died (in 1999).

This is a very explosive quote - if Baum had included it in his book in 1996 I am sure it would have garnered a huge amount of attention for the book. Instead Baum did not include it in his book, but instead would wait for decades later when Ehrlichman was no longer around to dispute the quote.

At any rate, if the quote was actually said by Ehrlichman, it isn't a very accurate description of the drug polices of the Nixon administration. While Nixon is remembered for "war on drugs" rhetoric, the actual substance of his policies seem to be different than what people think it was:

>...I have been fortunate over the years to discuss the distorted memory of Nixon's drug policies with almost all of his key advisors as well as with historians. Their consensus is that because he was dramatically expanding the U.S. treatment system (by 350% in just 18 months!) and cutting criminal penalties, he had to reassure his right wing that he hadn’t gone soft. So he laid on some of the toughest anti-drug rhetoric in history, including making a White House speech declaring a “war on drugs” and calling drugs “public enemy number one”. It worked so well as cover that many people remember that “tough” press event and forget that what Nixon did at it was introduce not a general or a cop or a preacher to be his drug policy chief but…a medical doctor (Jerry Jaffe, a sweet, bookish man who had longish hair and sideburns and often wore the Mickey Mouse tie his kids had given him).

https://www.samefacts.com/who-started-the-war-on-drugs/

>..."Enforcement must be coupled with a rational approach to the reclamation of the drug user himself," Nixon told Congress in 1971. "We must rehabilitate the drug user if we are to eliminate drug abuse and all the antisocial activities that flow from drug abuse."
>The numbers back this up. According to the federal government's budget numbers for anti-drug programs, the "demand" side of the war on drugs (treatment, education, and prevention) consistently got more funding during Nixon's time in office (1969 to 1974) than the "supply" side (law enforcement and interdiction).

>Historically, this is a commitment for treating drugs as a public health issue that the federal government has not replicated since the 1970s. (Although President Barack Obama's budget proposal would, for the first time in decades, put a majority of anti-drug spending on the demand side once again.) ...

As much as I always thought the app engine development model was pretty sweet, it seems like it just wasn't that compelling in the marketplace. You look at the biggest sites built on appengine and while there's some good stuff there it is not exactly mind blowing. If the development model were really that much more productive you'd expect there to be more there.

He's still staying on as executive chairman which outranks the CEO. But it is nevertheless odd that he is stepping down so quickly without a transition period.

I don't think it is scandal driven or the board would have ousted him from his chairman position as well. I'm just guessing here, but it could be health related. The last time a major CEO stepped aside was Steve Jobs due to illness. Eventually, Tim Cook became the CEO while Jobs stayed on as Apple's chairman until his death.

I remember there was talk about him running for president as well. Could be that as well but it is a bit late in the game for that.

It's puzzling for sure.

A covariance matrix naturally transforms from the measured space to a space where things are approximately unit Gaussian distributed. This is identical to the Z transform in 1D case.

This can be useful in, say, exotic options trading - a natural unit of measurement is how many ‘vols’ an underlier has moved, e.g. a 10-vol move is very large.

Try to get things with some nutritional value, not just empty calories. Poor nutrition will make you more susceptible to illness, and any illness you encounter worse. If our healthcare system is overburdened, you don’t want this.

Apart from obvious things like canned beans and veggies, dry quinoa is great. It is one of the few plant-based complete protein sources, it is rich in B-vitamins (mostly found in meat - short shelf life and could become scarce) and minerals, has good fat content, has a long shelf life, is relatively affordable, and tastes really darn good. You can get organic quinoa from Costco for a good price.

Speaking of B-vitamins, if you’re not able to access meat or eggs, you may want a B12 supplement - it is vital for cellular metabolism and nervous function, and isn’t readily available from plant-derived sources. A supply of multivitamins may be a good idea in general, depending on how long your access to fresh food is impeded. Vitamin C may be important if you’re not eating much in the way of fresh fruit or veggies.

Nuts - almonds and walnuts are good. High fat, moderate protein content, good sources of certain vitamins and minerals. Good shelf life.

Some non-preserved produce have long-ish shelf lives - squash, sweet potatoes, onions, cabbage, carrots. I just got some 10lb bags of organic carrots for $5.75/bag from Costco. It’s rare to find any food for just $0.57/lb.

In short, please don’t buy 50lbs of ramen noodles and pasta and expect to come out of this healthy a month or two down the line.

No, it clearly says that if they haven't figured out a business model yet, the business model they will end up figuring out might just as well be selling your data, so it's maybe not wise to make the internet depend on them not doing so.
I just finished his book last night (it's a really good read), and this feels weird to me. It was clear he was going to leave soon, but why now?

He talked so much about succession plans and outward appearances (like, that was most of the book, honestly...), and this feels so weird that out of nowhere Bob Chapek became CEO. He doesn't seem (at the surface) to represent what Iger does, and there was no clear succession plan or public narrative put forward. (Like, really, the whole book was about 50 years of succession plans and presenting things in a way that wouldn't cause issues externally... and this was the opposite of that.)

I also remember thinking how poor Eisner's legacy came off in his book, and was sure he'd optimize for a great legacy. He is ending his tenure on a relatively high note for the company, but something about the exact timing feels really off to me. Especially right after such a huge press tour for himself.

I don't think it's a scandal; he wouldn't stick around. The only thing I can think of is a political run (maybe not for president? Seems too late for that, and he seems to smart to run for something he can't win), or possibly family issues (sickness, etc).

Those weren't his literal words, but I trust you get my point: in most cases, this sort of transition is handled with something like "Joe Foobar will step down as FoobarCo's CEO at the end of next month, transitioning to [insert obviously ceremonial position]." This is an immediate transition to a position which isn't obviously ceremonial at all.

I'm not suggesting anything tragic like a fatal illness, a #MeToo event, or a presidential run, but only suggesting that this is an unusually-handled event. Look at his predecessor Michael Eisner, who was forced to resign after losing a boardroom battle -- Iger was announced as the next CEO in March 2005, but Eisner didn't actually leave until the end of September 2005, over six months later.

That said, I'm sure there are extra costs (at least in volunteer time) keeping them up, and that's often disregarded by these feel-good articles.

The biggest hurdle I've found for updating Linux distros is that the chip vendor doesn't provide any newer Linux kernels.

And we will probably be supporting it for the next 5 or 6 years.
> The Modi apologists are on this thread too.

There are those for and against Modi in this thread. It's easy to spot both sides. An easy way to spot one of the sides is their use of words like "Modi apologists", etc.

Considering Modi is arguably the most popular politician of a country with 1.3 billion people, why are people shocked when that support translates to support online?

Or are only Modi detractors supposed to voice their opinions? Shouldn't Modi supporters have their say too?

EyeSight (Subaru's assistance system) uses stereoscopic cameras, so it can handle large stationary objects.

LiDAR can distinguish between on and off-road objects, so it doesn't have to ignore stationary objects. I don't know of a LiDAR-based highway assist that's commercially available, though.

Finally, because we're a bunch of pedants here, radar-based systems will register stationary objects that were formerly moving. This is how "follow to stop" systems know when to stop. :)

I'm actually assuming the world is incredibly non-static, and your choices make a difference.

"The world has moved on" to me says enough people decided collectively X was better than Y. Great! It's amazingly fascinating that somehow each of these individuals somehow chose the alternative. They chose alternatives due to preferences! And those choices included not watching broadcast television (or at least ignoring it). And you're one of them. Congrats, you're part of "the world."

Similarly, we could create a static world with exact numbers of population and some % always watch broadcast TV for X hours. But we seem to not like that and instead choose differently.

Obviously this doesn't stack up all the way. The world has a funny way of inserting chaos beyond our control. But by and large a lot of society is controlled by a lot of individuals making either consciously or unconsciously making choices to act or not act. And thus my point, not acting is itself a choice that has consequences.

Really unexpected for a company as well run as Disney. A few things:

-Disney+ - Seems to be doing incredibly well.
-China market - Both parks and movies will be extremely hard hit near turn, also with Mulan coming out soon will prb be really bad numbers(surprised they did not move release date).
-Domestic parks and European parks may take a hit as fares increases(US only?) and virus worries keep people away.
-2020 films are not the heavy hitters that 2019 was, expect less revenue here and still less due to virus issues.

So despite disney+ doing well a few dark clouds on the horizon, I'm really hoping its not something health related.
Maybe, maybe not. Because if no one goes to movies and no theme parks, then..?

> The problem here is you just re-invented the term "deserving poor".

You're citing this as if the concept of "deserving poor" isn't something that's already enshrined in public policy. For the vast majority of American voters segmenting the deserving from the undeserving poor is a feature not a bug.

That's the reason we don't have unconditional UBI, and instead have a welfare system that's based on life circumstances. When we're more generous with children, the infirm, and the elderly than able-bodied adults who eschew work (or even worse commit crime), that is the concept of the deserving poor. And frankly I agree with that class distinction.

> the violent drug addict with mental health problems - well (s)he deserved our help about ten or fifteen years previously

And yet the very same criticism can be said about permanent criminal records or sex offender registries. Yet the vast majority of people in our society accept that committing a violent crime is "crossing the rubicon". Once you've done so, you'll always be a second-class citizen at best.

This isn't something controversial, policies based on this belief are nearly universally supported by voters. Regardless of prior personal circumstances, American society always lays the blame primarily at the perpetrator himself.
I think a good start would be building a reputation for decent support and longevity, but surprisingly they seem to be going in exactly the opposite direction.
