If autopilot created a situation in which a crash was inevitable with no warning to the user. E.g. if it suddenly grabbed the steering wheel and swerved right resulting in the car spinning out in only a few hundred ms for no good reason.

Even if autopilot caused a crash such as above, you still have to run a cost benefit analysis of whether or not it prevented more crashes than it causes. Considering the failure rate of humans it's ok for autopilot to have a non-negligible failure rate, and it doesn't really matter if those failures happen in the same places as the human failures.

Debian itself does support automated installation/deployment. You can run the ordinary debian-installer while "preseeding" answers to every question it would normally ask during the install. It's not clear what your scenario is adding there.

FWIW, most stuff that you download from upstream sources will install under /usr/local/ by default, which is standards-compliant for your use case. (You don't generally need to use the /opt/ hierarchy.) Overriding that default and putting stuff in /usr/ is just breaking the OS for no apparent reason.
Yes, but the immediate aftermath of that showed deep disagreement about “what to do about that problem.” Leftists want to dismantle the “systems of oppression” they perceive produces that result. Libertarians want to get rid of qualified immunity and police unions. Conservatives are taken aback by the rioting and violence and for them the immediate need maintaining social order has overtaken the more long term desire to correct these abuses.

I think Google is dipping below the standard of Altivista (adjusted for amount of content). It was out there you could find it but it it might take clever search strings. But it was a tool that worked for the user and priority was helping people find what they want. Vs helping people find what advertisers want now.
It's uncanny how perfectly of this moment many of those quotes are. Of course that's because these are very long-term issues. But it's still uncanny.
Qualified immunity is not constitutional. It supposedly derives from the common law, so congress can change it through ordinary legislation.
When you say every X is Y, then you've obviously defined Y in a non-useful way. Every concept, to communicate information, has to distinguish between some things which it includes and other things it doesn't. If nothing else, there has to at least be a conceivable counterfactual world where Y doesn't hold for everything.
For those not from the US ...

How voter disenfranchisement works is like this. One party (usually the Republicans) looks at a map of areas they're losing in. Then they send a bunch of canvassers over to find out who moved without changing their address, who was sent to jail, technicalities, etc. and request those names be removed from the voter registration list.

There's no effort to update the list, it's all removals. And the canvassers don't disclose their actual party or motivation for showing up at your house.
I’m assuming the notice exists independently of whether I see it or not. If the notice is a tweet then submitting the tweet happens before anyone could read it and the account has resumed tweeting before giving notice.

If the position is “we won’t tweet again until we do” then this is a meaningless announcement because that’s the default position of every twitter account.
I'm sorry, but calling a comment "bootlicking" does not imply good faith, nor does a claim that their viewpoint overlooks Nazis or murder.

But to your comment, which I think I can respond to: if I perform illegal activities on a platform, I don't think there's really a choice at that point as to whether the platform can take it down. Death threats, posting child pornography, infringing upon copyright…all of those are things you can go to jail for anyways, so it's not really a "free speech online" issue at that point.
I think you have a great point, how about code snippets or renaming the global object in your index.html or application entry point? Thanks for looking at it, I appreciate.
It was actually seeking to overthrows the government, and it was treason from the eyes of the British. If the British had won, likely every one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence would have been hanged or worse.

If you want to change the way things are inside the system vote, organize, protest. But actually seeking to overthrow the government is opening a whole can of very, very bad things.
You do know that Debian supports an Arch-like install workflow via debootstrap, right? See https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap on the Debian Wiki for details.
There is an expression that says "the state has a monopoly on violence" - the government has no issue using violence to get their way, in fact, the essentially have no other tactics. And that's exactly why everyone decided to go protest. Breaking that taboo is a way of taking power back from the state.
> yes I'm being sarcastic to demonstrate how stupid that argument is

What is stupid about the argument as it was framed? It should be possible to drive autonomously with only cameras. It may or may not be possible with our current AI and techniques. It also may or may not be much easier to pull off with LIDAR et al. IMO the jury is still out and will be for a while.

Remember that humans always seem vastly superior to AIs until all of a sudden they're vastly inferior.
I tried to use this handbook yesterday to answer the question: “how do I start the SSH server on Debian?” and I couldn’t answer it. Compare this to something like the FreeBSD handbook [1], where the information is very easy to find.

> The difference being that Java teams deliver language improvements

Sure, I think it's fair to say they've focused a lot more on implementation and library changes and not language changes up until recently. Things like rewriting the compiler from C, improving code generation / escape analysis / GC, more platform / architecture support, improving the standard library, getting a reasonable package manager, etc.

So it seems a little premature to read some secret anti-generics stance into it (and it not just being a matter of priorities) since there were all these other areas that they were also way behind Java in.

After package management was in generics started showing signs of life again, so it all seems reasonably consistent with the Go team just wanting to clear other stuff off their plate first before tackling it. Hopefully we see it in a similar timeframe to major Java/C++ features now that it's being worked on more.

If there's any silver lining the actual proposals seem pretty ambitious, seems like they want to enable a lot more than just new type safe collections if they add the feature.
I agree with the general thrust of the article, but not a lot of the details. And then there's this:

> Our phones have as much RAM as my “studio” work desktop

This is unlikely to be true. From what I can find, the latest iPhone has 4GB of RAM, and Samsung is up to 8GB (and they are growing this stat fast to be sure), but no "studio" desktop made in the last five years is going to have that little.

> 22.82 Mbps will reliably download very complex web
> pages nearly instantaneously.

This is definitely not true. It is true that the download time is not large, but between DNS and TLS latency and the fact that most "complex" web pages are built of assets from dozens of different servers, your actual wait time for the assets can be quite long. But even if you discount that, the render time is probably longer than the download time. If your page is that complex, I hope it's very beautiful to look at.
IANAL, but the difference is that in this case, QI came into being as a (very narrow) reading of federal law (§1983), which congress can amend easily. The Loving case was decided on an interpretation of the constitution, which as you say, is much harder to amend.
About 80% of the methalox propellant used by the Raptor engine is oxygen. If you manage to scrub oxygen from the very low earth orbit (VLEO), and then bring it to LEO, you are in business. The Japanese Space Agency put a satellite in VLEO in 2019 [1].

> When I create in SPY I can submit a basket+cash component equivalent to 50,000 shares and get back 50,000 SPY

No, you can't. An authorized participant can.

All ETFs, by definition, involve creation and redemption mechanisms. It's what separates them from other ETPs.

> How exactly would I create/redeem this basket in kind?

You can't.

According to the prospectus [1], "in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash)". Going into deeper mechanics [2], creation and redemption involve the AP entering into offsetting swaps with the ETP.

I think it's easy to confuse "mismatch between what civilians want and what elective representatives are doing" with "mismatch between what civilians want and other civilians want", particularly as we exist in partisan bubbles.

That's not to say the former doesn't exist, just that we should be careful in how we account. Look, for instance, at the "approval rates" of "congress" versus the approval rates of "my congressperson".
Yeh but imagine a social media site censoring or correcting a sitting president. The president didn't start that. What if AOL or Yahoo did the same to GW Bush or Clinton I doubt the response would be any different. It may of been worse
It really makes me wonder what the internet would be like if google had built microtransactions into a browser to support their sites instead, or as a complement to ads (e.g. an advertiser can pay for your time on the site in exchange for an ad, and google would only middleman the ad negotiation, not the transaction).
yeah, but Tesla being unable to do it doesn't mean that someone can't.

It's a hard problem, but a system with more sensory inputs than the human optical system shouldn't solve the same problem worse -- this points to a real issue in the problem solving methodology, but doesn't do much to condemn the idea of camera/radar fusion.

Now, if the question was "Can Tesla do this reliably?" -- different answer.
The issue isn’t depth perception (someone with no functional depth perception can drive!) so much as a lack of, for want of a better term, common sense. AI is a bit of a misnomer; these cars are obviously not sentient, and don’t have the same abilities as a human. If self-driving cars are possible at all with current/near future tech (I’m dubious personally), they won’t be solely dependent on cameras.

This sort of attitude is the reason why the world doesn't move away from awful solutions. It is a testament to the lack of ability to see beyond your own nose.

A lot of people who use Python, don't have the luxury of it being their "daily driver for years", so the conflicting documentation, decision paralysis and other problems that come with it end up being a huge time sink.

A lot of non-programmers are being forced to use Python for various automation tasks. A lot of the CAD-software that construction engineers use, support Python-plugins. Network admins that have been configuring switches and routers on CLI for decades now have to configure them using Python.

Look at "cargo" to see what the world could be like.
It's a case of trusting the marketing brochure and ignoring the EULA...
Oh, we can see how they work. That is the problem. What you mean is there is a fundamental disagreement over how they should work.
Not the OP, but I think his point was people aren't ending their lease and moving home til covid is over, because if they did, they wouldn't be able to get that low of rent again.
Between Covid and the current protests/riots, I think we're going to see a major reversal of the urban renaissance that took place from roughly 1990 to the present.

A formerly tacky suburban bungalow with a fenced in backyard starts looking pretty good in a quarantine compared to a one-bedroom apartment where the only way outside is via a germ-filled elevator. Watching downtowns like Chicago's burn is going to make a lot of business rethink locating to urban cores, especially when remote work is proving to be highly effective.

Even if all of this passes quickly, the imagery and emotion will remain. Just like 3-mile Island effectively put an end to nuclear energy in the U.S. even though it was an isolated incident, memories of quarantines and burning police cars are going to do lasting damage to economic development in urban cores.
On the other hand many countries get by just fine without one, including mine (New Zealand), Canada and the United Kingdom.

I have never heard anyone suggest we need a national ID in New Zealand.

Google Search is in a horrendous state right now. Search results have been getting worse each year, with interesting information being buried 20 pages down.

I ran into this over the weekend.

I had a question about something I took a photo of in a small village, and I knew a priest I met there would have the answer.

I went to Google to find the parish web site, and it's simply not in Google. Not at all. Lots of sorta-kinda matches in places thousands miles away, even when I specified the very unique village name, state, and ZIP Code.

So I dug through the pile of dross that comes home with me after I travel and found an old parish bulletin that had the web address printed on it. It turns out the church has a web site — a pretty nice one — but Google doesn't know about it. Or it's so heavily down-rated by Google that it didn't come up in the first seven or eight pages of results, no matter how I formed the search query.

So I went to the parish's web site to see if he has an e-mail address. The web site indicated that he is no longer the priest there. So I put his name into Google to see where he'd been moved. (I've been told by other priests that unless you're tied to a school or other institution, priests in America are shuffled around every four to six years.)

His name is fairly uncommon, so I expected Google to show me links to church bulletins or announcements about arrival or going away parties, or even church employee rosters, of which there are thousands on the web. But instead, it was page after page after page of SEO spam for "Complete phone number for $priest_name!" "Is $priest_name cheating on you? Find out!" "$priest_name in your city want to meet you!" The few I clicked through just in case had none of the promised information.

I gave up on Google, and phoned the parish office when it opened this morning. He retired six months ago. Here's his phone number.

Time wasted with the company that promised to take all of the world's information and make it available to everyone: 20-40 minutes.

Time spent getting the information the old fashioned way: 2 minutes.

Thanks for nothing, Google.
> what happens when the real me shows up?

What happens is that it becomes immediately obvious that voter fraud has happened, and a criminal investigation begins before the results of the election can be certified.

In addition to being basically impossible to scale up to an effective volume, this form of election fraud is also extremely difficult to pull off without getting caught. So it's really more of a (hypothetical) public nuisance leading to election do-overs, than an effective way to subvert the outcome of an election.
The most interesting work being done today is occurring at the interface between the academy and the public. It is not the same as it was 50 years ago to learn within universities for they are merely corporate machines fueling capitalism. Any critique of that order is unwelcome ( I know I have a graduate degree with a thesis attacking 'western thought' and the centralizing of the human. But you don't have to listen to me. Just read/watch Achille Mbembe.

The government can be sued because Congress has consented to being sued, not because the government is suable by default.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity_in_the_Unit...

> In the United States, the federal government has sovereign immunity and may not be sued unless it has waived its immunity or consented to suit.[7] The United States as a sovereign is immune from suit unless it unequivocally consents to being sued.[8] The United States Supreme Court in Price v. United States observed: "It is an axiom of our jurisprudence. The government is not liable to suit unless it consents thereto, and its liability in suit cannot be extended beyond the plain language of the statute authorizing it."[9]

The only reason the United States can legally appear as a defendant in a civil suit currently is because Congress has consented to being sued:

> The United States has waived sovereign immunity to a limited extent, mainly through the Federal Tort Claims Act, which waives the immunity if a tortious act of a federal employee causes damage, and the Tucker Act, which waives the immunity over claims arising out of contracts to which the federal government is a party. The Federal Tort Claims Act and the Tucker Act are not the broad waivers of sovereign immunity they might appear to be, as there are a number of statutory exceptions and judicially fashioned limiting doctrines applicable to both. Title 28 U.S.C. § 1331 confers federal question jurisdiction on district courts, but this statute has been held not to be a blanket waiver of sovereign immunity on the part of the federal government.

But in general, the government of the United states is immune from civil suits, and Congress can decide at any time -- even during an active case -- to decide to not want to be sued anymore.

The governments of the states -- being the ultimate sovereign authority of the United States of America -- are also generally immune from civil suit, except in limited circumstances. I believe most have however consented to being sued.

On this matter, the supreme court has said:

> we have understood the Eleventh Amendment to stand not so much for what it says, but for the presupposition of our constitutional structure which it confirms: that the States entered the federal system with their sovereignty intact; that the judicial authority in Article III is limited by this sovereignty, and that a State will therefore not be subject to suit in federal court unless it has consented to suit, either expressly or in the "plan of the convention." States may consent to suit, and therefore waive their Eleventh Amendment immunity by removing a case from state court to federal court.
>> You can run your personal finances

I’m not convinced that people who apply prudent personal finance strategies ever come up with anything worthwhile in corporate or government financial scenarios.

The difference between a persons finances and that of a legal vehicle with limited liability or an entity which can print its own currency, these aren’t differences of degree, these (and other differences) change the entire game.
