True of course. For example a police agent shot at close range a protester that was attacking him with an iron bar [1]. Luckily it seems the protester survived.

But again, over many months of mass demonstrations, sometimes violent, the number of zero or very few actual deaths is significant.

> A law that Congress passes overrules any and all SCOTUS precedent on the issue

Wow, that's wrong...

Take Loving v Virginia: there, the court ruled that interracial marriages must be governed by the same rules as all other marriage.

No law of Congress can overturn that ruling. Only amending the constitution or the court itself have that (theoretical) power.
It's hard to judge from the video, but the car doesn't appear to have been going very fast, and it looks like the side of the truck crumpled a bit to absorb the impact.

Airbag inflation is a violent, potentially injurious, last-ditch effort to prevent fatalities. If the airbags didn't inflate but the driver walked away from the accident, then not activating was probably the safer option.
> Basically everyone who isn't an outside agitator, but if you don't already believe me I doubt I'm going to change your mind.

Trotting out a nebulous, totally unsourced claim and then implying that anyone who questions you is wrong beyond help is… not exactly a convincing tactic.
But what is their point?

No, the only reason they published this is to intimidate the people who are elected and who are meant to keep them in check.

Designer that codes. I'm a product designer by training but have moved towards engineering-focused roles (e.g. UX Engineer) to help scale GUI design and front-end development functions via in-house tooling and design system development. I'm interested in multi-disciplinary roles that combine product design and engineering responsibilities. I strongly prefer working with world-positive companies with a strong mission and values.
I've spent far too many hours fighting with these tools in two completely different scenarios

* Developing and deploying production Python solutions

* Helping beginners run their first script

While it's great for beginners to use the same tools that are used in industry, I strongly believe that the problem nearly all of these tools face is that they can't decide whether they want to _manage_ complexity or _hide_ complexity.

You can't do both.

Some of them do a fairly good job at managing complexity. None of them do a good job of hiding it. The dream of getting Python to "just work" on any OS is close to impossible (online tools like repl.it are the closest I've found but introduce their own limtiations). I recently saw a place force their beginner students onto Conda in Docker because getting people started with Conda was too hard. If you're battling with the complexity of your current layer of abstraction, sometimes it's better to start removing abstraction rather than adding more.

That said, I'm also a happy user of `pip` and `virtualenv` and while I'm sure that many people can use the others for more specific needs, I think defaulting to them because they aim to be "simpler" is nearly always a mistake. I still teach beginners to install packages system wide without touching venv at first - it's enough to get you through your first 2-3 years of programming usually.
Yep, I do participate in HN because I find value in its unique audience and discussion quality, and I do think the moderation is necessary to maintain those unique qualities. I also appreciate the enrichment and access to totally-new ideas that I get from existing in other worlds with differing norms like 4chan/9chan. HN is a well-maintained and enjoyable bubble, but still a bubble. They supplement each other more than they compete, and I feel more able to tolerate the moderated world thanks to the less-moderated ones.

Actually, I'd be interested in an alternative web where ingenuity and risk-taking would be utterly forbidden. Just HTML, and a very basic subset at that. No Javascript at all, no CSS.

So much of the web would be better and more universally usable without "modern" cruft.

Lots of cars still have a hard time with automatic emergency braking.

https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a24511826/safety-featu... (Car and Driver: We Crash Four Cars Repeatedly to Test the Latest Automatic Braking Safety Systems)

> To understand the strengths and weaknesses of these systems and how they differ, we piloted a Cadillac CT6, a Subaru Impreza, a Tesla Model S, and a Toyota Camry through four tests at FT Techno of America's Fowlerville, Michigan, proving ground. The balloon car is built like a bounce house but with the radar reflectivity of a real car, along with a five-figure price and a Volks­wagen wrapper. For the tests with a moving target, a heavy-duty pickup tows the balloon car on 42-foot rails, which allow it to slide forward after impact.

> The car companies don't hide the fact that today's AEB systems have blind spots. It's all there in the owner's manuals, typically covered by both an all-encompassing legal disclaimer and explicit examples of why the systems might fail to intervene. For instance, the Camry's AEB system may not work when you're driving on a hill. It might not spot vehicles with high ground clearance or those with low rear ends. It may not work if a wiper blade blocks the camera. Toyota says the system could also fail if the vehicle is wobbling, whatever that means. It may not function when the sun shines directly on the vehicle ahead or into the camera mounted near the rearview mirror.

> There's truth in these legal warnings. AEB isn't intended to address low-visibility conditions or a car that suddenly swerves into your path. These systems do their best work preventing the kind of crashes that are easily avoided by an attentive driver.

> The edge cases cover the gamut from common to complex. Volvo's owner's manuals outline a target-switching problem for adaptive cruise control (ACC), the convenience feature that relies on the same sensors as AEB. In these scenarios, a vehicle just ahead of the Volvo takes an exit or makes a lane change to reveal a stationary vehicle in the Volvo's path. If traveling above 20 mph, the Volvo will not decelerate, according to its maker. We replicated that scenario for AEB testing, with a lead vehicle making a late lane change as it closed in on the parked balloon car. No car in our test could avoid a collision beyond 30 mph, and as we neared that upper limit, the Tesla and the Subaru provided no warning or braking.

Emphasis in last paragraph mine.

Disclaimer: Model S, X, Y owner, TSLA investor.
Under what conditions could a crash unequivocally be Autopilot’s fault? This looks like it will be blamed on the driver.
I dislike these types of thought experiments because they always involve a preexisting problem where a random bystander has to become a hero that has to save everyone. There are a lot of situations in which fate is just playing out and you can't do anything about it and struggling will only make everything worse. In reality, the hero doesn't actually know which lever will actually save lives and he also doesn't know if the people he is saving are actually in danger.

Reading this makes me grateful that I can get away with just apt-get. I wonder how prevalent this is, since not every project needs specific or latest versions of the runtime and libraries, only a minimum. Some are just plumbing tools that stick to the stable core, and the Python 3 ecosystem has been mature for enough years that older distro packages are still useful and capable.

I thought this was going to be a reasonable article but its just another whine from a designer who wants to add another 6mb of pretty animation to a web page.

1 and 2 are totally wrong and 3 googles moving away from amp ant letting normal pages rank.

I have wasted to many hours of my time on conference calls with people like this.
It took 2000 years of anti-Jewish hatred and even then it required violence for Nazis to "win" that argument. The anti-Jewish hatred was protected by blasphemy laws, and the Nazis were banned in the 1920s and several of them prosecuted under hate speech laws. And then there was no freedom of speech in Nazi Germany.

Hardly a glowing recommendation for limits on speech. It's easy to argue against National Socialism and it's easy to argue against anti-Semitism as long as free speech is allowed. Allow people to argue instead of fight violently and the better argument will win.

If you don't think you have a better argument than a Nazi then I'm really worried for you.
As a kid I loved reading "Great Space Battles" and
"Spacecraft, 2000-2100 A.D.: Terran Trade Authority Handbook", by Stewart Cowley, from the late 70s. My impression is that the art (very beautiful airbrush(?) space ship pictures) inspired the stories than the other way around.

Will this always be a compiler extension, or is intended to be an evolution of the language?
Assuming autopilot was indeed engaged, this seems to be clear evidence that cameras alone are insufficient to perceive big objects in a car's path OR judge its distance to them.

This car traveled in a straight line in near-perfect weather for at least 10 seconds toward a large motionless object blocking its lane and the next one, but still overlooked the danger.

Imagine if this had happened in bad weather or at night, where risk of failure is substantially greater. This degree of incapability implies that vision alone is not only inadequate to perceive obstacles ahead that should be obvious to any human, but profoundly inadequate.

I think what you're saying is fair, but I also think you're raising a different argument than the OP. This is probably more suited to a top-level comment.

But in response to the subject of your comment: don't they already do this regardless? Isn't inaction a moral response in itself? In the same way that [as a loose example, so don't shoot me if it falls short] Coca Cola or Nestle see no moral problem with consuming entire regions' fresh water supplies for profit? Is it that American Express or Wells Fargo making a moral decision when they deny a credit application to somebody who may need it to eat? Surely those institutions are as public as any social media platform.

I think there is a lot more to work through there. Personally, I'm in the camp of the people should push for what they see as the right action: be it that a beverage company stops exploiting disadvantaged regions for their fresh water supplies or an internet company tags a post/comment as containing whatever kind of information might be questionable. Long, slow, hard road may it be—most people seem inclined to do better by each other on the large scale. The more options they have to do so, and the less potential gain by acting anti-socially, the better. It's definitely a complex problem [trying not to ramble, but even "acting out" can be a social act rather than anti-social, hence the complexity].

Boy...
Wow, this is incredibly comprehensive! A great resource, should I ever need it. And even without any obvious present utility, the fact that someone did all this is just fascinating in its own right.

You’re only considering the (debatable) positives (chrome sucks ass, folks). If you can’t engage in a good faith discussion why bother posting?
Having the piece of paper, if you can get it (relatively) cheap, is very nice just to avoid ever having to talk about not having it. It's a whole conversation in many interviews (or a conversation that doesn't happen but that you'll be stressed about happening) that you can totally erase. Evening, weekend, and online classes are a thing and can be cheapish, especially if you're not going to a very well-known school (and if you're not, the name of the school is basically irrelevant, so do what's cheap). If you don't already have kids or other time-consuming obligations, working through school part-time over a few years 100% achievable while still having tons of free time. Also look into CLEP tests, as they can kill years (at part-time hours) of college credits quickly and at low cost.
Seeing the hang message without anything else is surprising to me. I don't know why you're seeing that.

You can try kernel-ppa [0] to see if it's fixed in newer kernels, it's very simple and you don't need to compile anything. I would recommend you to test 5.7 from there, and if that doesn't work you can try drm-intel-nightly or drm-tip: those are the upstream graphics trees. If you report a bug, the first thing the devs are going to ask you is test these trees, so it might be worth trying before you even open a bug report.

Yeah, pretty much everyone was on the same page about that. What was incredibly and predictably divisive is burning down cities as a response to it, and naturally the American media have been spending a lot of effort fanning those flames.

Generally, non-military aircraft avoid collisions using radio broadcasts from various beacons (their own and those of other planes). Actual radar systems for detecting non-broadcasting obstacles are, per Wikipedia, generally only found on military aircraft. So if you define "an obstacle" as something that is not a plane broadcasting a beacon, then, yes, a Boeing 737 would probably run directly into it if it were somehow in the path of the autopilot.

Is it not political violence when a black man is killed in the street without due process, treated differently than a white person would be?

I still haven't seen any evidence whatsoever that any homes have been looted or burned by protestors, or that anyone has been killed by protestors. Only "what if"s, like "what if the fire killed someone?" It didn't, but we have a very real case of a police officer killing someone -- shouldn't that be the most important thing we're focusing on here?

This is not a self-driving car and it is not cruise-control (that demands you pay attention to the lane ahead of you). This is a savant 8 year old driving your car. Seems to behave fine in common cases but if you relax you might well die if an uncommon case comes up that this child has no basis to handle.
I personally would rather have an actual 8year take the car, since then I would have the correct amount of attention on the road out of well founded fear for the limitations of the child's abilities

The pejorative isn’t unwarranted. The equal protection clause justification for Obergefell is a fairly straightforward application of the text of the 14th amendment and longstanding Supreme Court precedent holding that the right to marry was fundamental even at the time of the founding. They didn’t conjure a right out of thin air, but found that there was no justification for denying the right to a particular group when the constitution guarantees “equal protection” to all groups.

Qualified immunity doesn’t rest on nearly as solid a ground.

>These are not contradictory views.

You think the supposed contradiction is between legality and morality of not censoring certain speech. The actual contradiction is between claiming to support people's right to free speech while also supporting policies that undermine one of the main reasons that right is important in the first place.

This is not a matter of spherical freedom in vacuum. This is a practical matter of whether a tiny number of people should be able to effectively control country's political processes because those people happen to own certain technological tools.
