Yes, they can't constantly send microphone data even if they wanted due to power constraints. They use a dedicated DSP chip with the sole purpose of detecting the hot word.
Apparently Mazda recently went through a bunch of studies to make the infotainment systems less dangerous, the result was that they're switching back to physical dials and bringing screens into more natural field of vision. I must say that I am somewhat seduced by the (at least seamingly) data driven process.

What is this idea exactly? That the virus rolled through Seattle and other areas with just a bunch of relatively mild cases and without a critical uptick in hospital load? I am not an epidemiologist but that does not seem realistic.
Yep this is how we've been doing it at my house too, and results are great.
Firefox tells me bad certificate domain.

I'm curious how different it would be if you could control Android auto with physical buttons. I'm not sure why touchscreens are allowed in cars at all. you can't use them without looking directly at them.

even voice can be distracting when you have to repeat variations of the same command five times and keep checking whether it actually works.

I hope this kind of thing doesn't get banned entirely. when it works, I find that having a good navigation system allows me to pay more attention on actually driving the car.

"About 27.6% of Canadians' healthcare is paid for through the private sector. This mostly goes towards services not covered or partially covered by Medicare, such as prescription drugs, dentistry and optometry. Some 75% of Canadians have some form of supplementary private health insurance; many of them receive it through their employers.[63]"

If a quarter of spending is paid by private, it isn't single payer.

You are saying that as if US has defenses in Europe for sheer good will and charity. My country of Finland is doing quite alright with military spending despite being a highly militarized country. There’s a difference between spending money on a defense force and spending money projecting force.
Not really, I've "lost" wipers before in regular cars due to shitty conditions and poor quality wipers. This is especially prevalent here in Norway when they salt the crap out of the roads in winter making a saline slush that sticks to everything. That's much more dangerous.. Or running out of wiper fluid!

If I really needed them in the X I could just pull over and let the FSD reboot itself and they work again. It also did not happen while driving, it was like that from the start of the drive so it was quite easy to identify. But I chose to go on to see how the car would behave without the FSD as an experiment.

There's also pressure from phone calls that you don't get when you're talking to someone in the vehicle: people on the other end can't see the traffic situation, so they don't know to shut up and let you drive, and there's social pressure on the driver to not let their surroundings distract them away from the phone call.
How would you ever know?
The only things in my pocket are my wallet and keys. My phone[1] could probably be used for remote surveillance, but without a warrant, that's a crime.

Note: intent and expectations matter. A cellphone by itself (without any type of "voice assistant" app or feature) is only intended to record audio when it's being used to make a call. Yes, malicious actors or buggy software could enable the microphone, but that's not the expected behavior of the device. Kyllo v United States is all about what the public understands and expects about a technology.

I think testing mostly matters to prove to people this is real, but tests don't actually stop the disease. They aren't a cure.

I don't know how to get there from here, but I would like to see a great deal more focus on best practices and cultural change. That's how this pandemic will be stopped and prevented from recurring. Tests will only elucidate how bad it is, but aren't actual treatment.

Stop touching your face.

Stop touching everything.

Stop shaking hands. Maybe adopt bowing instead as a respectful greeting.

Wash your hands.

Be more supportive of remote work.

Design more services that help make flexible remote work a good thing for workers. (I like the Textbroker model. I've tried to promote that previously. No one cared or thought it mattered. Now, maybe people will pay attention.)

Light one small candle rather than curse the dark. Focus on promoting solutions. We don't do enough of that.
iPhones support “Hey Siri” 24/7 unless you turn it off. (As someone else said, google phones support “OK Google” as well)

The only additional danger from an Alexa device is that you are trusting amazon as well, but the core functionality of an Alexa device to always listen for the wake word and communicate to a server if it thinks it heard the wake word locally is the same as what most smartphones have.
Oneweb's sat's supposedly have incredible bandwidth if you beleive the CNN/CEO hype. "Steckel said they have performed better than expected, 'demonstrating speeds that could rival 5G internet'."

They also have made a number of claims about being the leader in the effort etc (they launched six sat's a year ago.) Not sure I fully buy their hype.

SpaceX has launched 360 sat's and is explicit that speed may NOT be high bandwidth (but may be low latency) which seems a more credible baseline given the theory (one sat covers a reasonable area).

I personally would love 4mbp/s ultra low latency to my parents across the country for video calls.
I don't disagree with you but at this moment in time it just seems a bit prudent to add something like this at the top:

"Arash – our co-founder and great friend – is leaving Dropbox for new adventures."

Just one simple sentence like that at the top lets us know the rest of the post isn't a eulogy, or at least not the kind where someone passed away.

Any other point in time when there isn't a global pandemic you can leave that out, but right now times are weird and confusing.
And I can see why "In one instance, a large rai being transported by canoe and outrigger was accidentally dropped and sank to the sea floor. Although it was never seen again, everyone agreed that the rai must still be there, so it continued to be transacted as genuine currency".
Every expense is income to someone else. If I stop paying my mortgage it means some pension fund doesn't have the income to pay their retirees.

There's no real way out of a months long shutdown. Our economic out put will be cut ~10% on an annual basis for every month. Thats real economic production gone forever. And theres no pause button on the economy. Stopping it means businesses fail and the relationships/organization that generates economic value will go away with them.

99.999% I think this thought as well. But, if I interpreted your quote correctly, it would require one's data to be made available to the powers-that-be, right? But, since this is self-hosted, only you would have control over your data, and not them, right? (Or, perhaps I'm missing something?)

Yes, that's why automatic updates was seen with a lot of skepticism at first. And the reason automatic updates are winning is because everything is so full of holes that disabling automatic updates is even less secure than enabling it.

great comment, also something unrelated looking at your website I was hoping to find some notes about how to write in latex I have seen some submissions at HN but I think you could give some awesome tips
Hello HN, It's my pleasure to bring to you GoSecret, share ephemeral messages using links.

I started working on GoSecret with my brother about 2 years ago. Both of us have an interest and cyber security and software engineering. A common issue is needing to share important information over not so secure channels such as GMail or Slack.

I feel it's important to raise awareness about GoSecret now that many folks are working from home.

When using those channels, messages you send normally will be stored on their servers (and logs) indefinitely with no good way to delete them. That's where GoSecret comes in. You simply go to GoSecret.io -> type in a message -> click create secret -> copy the generated url -> send the link over Gmail, Slack etc. No sign up is necessary.

Once your recipient views the secret the message is permanently deleted from GoSecret's servers.

The only trace of a message will be url which will now link to nothing.
My iPhone has activated “hey Siri” before by accident too.

I suspect this goes for all input based on a touch screen. Touch screens are horrible interfaces, which caught on because they're generic and fully reconfigurable by each app. But this reconfigurability pushes them into your low-level OODA loop, using your attention in imperceptible spurts rather than taking advantage of muscle memory, doubly so when the UI code is laggy.

I'm certainly not condoning the practice, but texting and driving wasn't a serious public hazard until everyone moved away from T9. T9 was a deterministic input method, and while sure maybe you would look at the message before sending, each individual letter required little attention.

Back before smart phones / GPS navigation / etc took off I did a two month cross country trip using a Garmin 60CSx (handheld GPS with hard buttons) as a live map. In car-cities, I held the unit in my shifting hand, and checking the map was effortless as it was always in the state I expected it to be.

Holding the touch screen in your hand, and thus having more predictable positioning, is a setup up from using a touch screen mounted on the car's interior, which is moving relative to you from road bumps etc. Even worse are OEM touchscreens that have poor response. I'd love for more studies to be done on this subject to create better data, but I also wonder how much it will be fought by car manufacturers that have gone all-in on touchscreens in the center console (which seems to be all of them).
Even if it's not spoofed, I would conjecture that the set of people using FTP has a large overlap with the set of people who disable telemetry.
Well, I just thought you are giving a negative connotation to it while I think there's nothing wrong if the thing is your hobby :)

Rough translation of the ALDI press release into english:

Together everything is possible

Together, we will give our best to ensure that you are supported. We are extremely thankful for this .

Together we will get this done.
Higher isn’t necessarily better. You are balancing how long to fully bake the dough with how dry/crisp/burnt the crust becomes. Depending on hydration, presence of steam, baking surface, etc... Deck ovens (typically used for French style baguette) are usually in the 450-500 range for baguette, but have some major differences with home ovens. Even if your oven goes up to 500 or 550, actually maintaining that internal temp can be quite difficult for a home oven, which is why many home recipes suggest turning it all the way up. Best advice is to try different things with your oven, see what difference it makes!

Touch typing is not common in people my age (early 2000s). People learn to type on their own out of necessity, so they learn their own techniques just like how everyone has different handwriting. So, some are fast and some are slow.
The test they use to select employees correlates with their rating of employees is pretty circular. Any arbitrary test will do that.
Why do people keep wanting to compare this to the flu? It's a completely random choice of comparison. Flu is caused by the influenza virus, COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CV2 virus - a coronavirus closely related to the SARS-CV virus that caused SARS.

I guess if you are politically motivated then choosing a random non-scary disease like Flu to compare it to makes sense, but one might as well (perhaps with more justification) compare it to SARS and than panic and say "OMG it's already killed way more people than SARS!".

Rather than comparing COVID-19 to anything else, what really makes sense is to listen to the infectious disease experts (not politicians), and follow what's happening in other countries.
Is it true that you can't use touchscreens in cars without looking at them? I don't drive so I wouldn't know, but my experience touch typing on my smartphone (and I don't use it very often) and as a cashier during high school who used a touch screen point-of-sales system would lead me to believe otherwise. Sure you can't keep track of its state the entire time, but you only need to glance at it to know what state/screen to operate/navigate from.
You've hit exactly the downfall.

I've always liked the idea of this sort of thing, but the benefits of using something like this almost never outweigh the costs as compared to just eyeballing the pantry and winging the meal planning on short timescales. The system starts to become the point of the effort rather than just a tool to better achieve household goals.

Unless you're dealing with a substantial household or some sort of communal living environment (lots of roommates, half-way house, dorm) or doing a lot of entertaining, the benefits vs. the effort just leave these things as interesting experiments.

And I do see value in experimenting this way. I am an implementation consultant for actual ERP systems and data entry compliance is a real problem in the corporate world, too. There tends to be benefits to the data entry problem there, but the benefits tend to accrue a few degrees of separation from where the entry work takes place... so those that do the work often don't understand the need or importance. So if you solve some of the data capture problem in a small, low risk household environment, you may be able to apply the lessons learned to larger business systems. For example the more you could capture the data "in flight", like cameras capturing the information as you're putting recently bought groceries away or pulling them out to cook, do that well enough and now the benefits start to be larger in the home... but maybe you can see avenues to reduce the data entry burden in the warehouse, or the data entry processing desks, etc.

But on it's own, using the same old data acquisition patterns as boring old corporate ERP, you're better bet is probably just pen and paper.
No. You said that in Canada you can choose between the public insurer or a private insurer. You cannot. You framed this comparison incorrectly this way in order to promote the idea of a public option which is very different. In Canada everyone gets the public single payer insurance. The parts that the public single payer insurance does not cover can be covered by buying supplemental private insurance. That is not a public option scenario.
I believe wide-spread use of masks is an effective measure, but i disagree that evidence-based medicine vice Bayesian belief-updating is to blame here. If masks work well, the statistical evidence will come out, regardless of the statistical tribe you belong to.
Pretty way of saying "Summer heat causes these things to go in remission" by lowering the R0 for a time.
Even if that (EDIT: ‘that’ being an idea that virus has been circulating for months) were true (which almost certainly it is not), so what? The only logical explanation for this is that percentage of severe cases relative to totally susceptible and infected is orders of magnitude lower, and now the total number of infected is so large that number of severe cases is starting to get noticeable. But that is not the picture we are getting from South Korea that had much more comprehensive testinG.
> The monetary system of Yap relies on an oral history of ownership. In the case of stones that are too large to move, buying an item with one simply involves agreeing that the ownership has changed. As long as the transaction is recorded in the oral history, it will now be owned by the person to whom it is passed

> The extrinsic (perceived) value of a specific stone is based on not only its size and craftsmanship, but also its history. If many people—or no one at all—died when the specific stone was transported, or a famous sailor brought it in, the value of the rai stone increases by reason of its anecdotal heft.

So, it's Bitcoin.
This does not look healthy
Respectfully, I wish people would stop popping into discussions about coronavirus to say "Actually, ...".

Most educated people know that viruses aren't alive in the traditional sense. People who aren't as educated simply don't care, and I don't blame them. Using the more scientifically precise term helps nobody, except scientists, in this situation.

Should software engineers stop using the word "kill" in POSIX-land because CPU processes aren't really "alive"? Give me a break.
> Significantly, the input is a sparse dataset.
ie. Few source images vs. traditional photogrammetry.

This uses dozens or hundreds of images, which isn't usually necessary for traditional photogrammetry that maps photos to hard surfaces with textures.

I think what you noted about volumes is the significant part. Complex objects with fine detail and view dependent reflections are the part that shines here over photogrammetry, but it does take a lot of images. I didn't see anything in the paper that dealt with transparency.
This is by no means a personal attack but this is approximately the thought pattern the parent comment is arguing against.

Absence of evidence does not prevent you from making decisions or otherwise coming to conclusions. The fact is, you can make decisions with no evidence at all. Your outcome may be no better than chance but also likely no worse.

Not making a decision can be worse than chance, especially in time critical or low information environments and if you always “wait for the evidence” you will end up being worse than a magic 8-ball at the most crucial moments.
"overly positive throughout" means thats how you felt but not necessarily how interviewer felt. Usually, FB's phone screen expectation is to do 2 coding questions (yes in 35-40 mins!), written as close to compiler ready as possible.
You're a parasite. You are exactly the problem, infecting American's minds with false information. This trolling over every other first world's country access to medical care is the problem in America.

Canadian's always have a baseline AMAZING medical care system. 25% do not choose private insurance INSTEAD of this baseline system.

There are private insurers that employers offer for things like Dental, Optometrist access...

You can also bet that Canada is not charging each citizen $34k to get tested for COVID-19 and have some basic drugs given to them.

Do not compare this completely garbage american system to Canadian getting additional insurance for dental and eye exams.

This is a time to get a real hard look at your society and fix the problems. Stop trolling looking at what may be wrong in other countries and worry about your own problems, of which you have MANY in the american healthcare system.
Overall death rate is much less deceptive than known overall virus deaths.
Testing helps a lot more than that, because it helps you catch infected people before they spread it further. This was a key factor in China and South Korea getting the disease under control.
Yes, but the demand projected for ventilators seems to exceed the entire existing supply, and obviously dwarf the uses for all other conditions combined.

Considering the physical proximity of Japan and China (30% of tourists to Japan are Chinese) the fact that Japanese hospitals haven’t been overwhelmed like Italy suggests the virus is not spreading as rapidly there. (Testing may also be a concern but lack of testing cannot hide overwhelmed hospitals).
