Depends on what you mean by self-flying, which is why I pointed out that BI probably has different ideas than Airbus.

To most people (and BI?) it will mean "taxi, takeoff, navigating/obstacle avoidance, landing". To the extent that driving a car isn't "what you see is what you get", flight is much worse.

In the simplest case of flight, you are in cruise (neither takeoff nor landing), and depending on what kind of airspace you're in you may need to:
* listen to ATC for commands, and advise them of what you're doing,
* avoid weather,
* look out for traffic,
* watch your gauges,
* stay on a heading, altitude, and generally fly the plane. (This part is routinely done with autopilot.)

In short, if it seems easier, it's because pilots make it look so casual.

A thing they teach pilots is: "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate". This is the basic priorities for your attention. If you're pointed at terrain your priority is to fix that first. The point of autopilot today is to free you (to some extent) of that first responsibility, especially during routine parts of flight, so that you can do the other things. Airbus is looking for more things to automate to let pilots do more strategic thinking in general.

Contrast this with a car, which is probably more in line with what BI is thinking. The kinetic energies are much lower, there's no need to communicate, the rules for driving are pretty straightforward (get to where you want to be, without hitting other people, while respecting traffic lights and speed limits), and to top it all off, if the AI feels that it's in over its head than the car can just stop whenever and everyone can climb out of the vehicle.

For the vast majority of users Garmin have ZERO liability re data retention. They could just say WHOOPS! and zero all accounts and require everyone to resync. And I would have respected them for that as they've now sent $10M to these assailants to increase the sophistication of their attacks and retain/lure/entrap more skilled developers. But then I'm a bit of a moral absolutist.

If their financial records were all toast too I wonder what the fines would have been ...
This is the sort of thing that a configuration management system like Ansible does. Consider deploying one to all managed devices.

Git itself is not the right place to have it because of the security issues with it, but if you can run Ansible or something similar then you have root on the system anyway.
I've also been debating just calling it "default" since we always refer to it as the default branch anyway.
Data aggregators even less so.

Thanks for the comments. It’s good to hear I’m not the only one who’s suffered this. I ended up writing most of that blog post on my phone as it’s actually more comfortable to type on at the moment than my keyboard.

I’m getting better though. I think I’m 4 weeks in now. I have better mobility and can type two handed for short periods. I’m not looking forward to the potential future complications though. Arthritis is not something I want so I’ll discuss with the doctor at my follow up in a couple of weeks.
I enjoy a good visualization, but at best they're high level graphical powerpoints, and in this case I found the animations more distracting than useful.

Also, if you're going to do a 30k foot view of a technical topic, you might want to tell people what GPT3 is somewhere in there.

> Under the gold and silver standards, the public money supply was fixed – and could not be easily manipulated by the state (either the government or the, then non-existent, Fed). But that did not stop private bankers from leveraging public money out of thin air to create huge quantities of private money with which to fund the Robber Barons, i.e. the Jeff Bezoses, of the era.

But didn't the creation of private money happen because gold was so expensive to hold and transport? Assuming Layer 2 solutions like Lightning get off the ground, Bitcoin won't have this problem, right?

A woman cannot rely on finding the perfect man to take care of her. That is just unrealistic. And likely, it will set her up for failure.

And a woman cannot rely on her parents to support her as an adult until she gets married. That’s too heavy a burden on her aging parents.

Really, the only way forward, is for the woman to get educated, skilled, trained, or certified, in order to work.

But, we as a society need a new and different social contract.
ahhh, sorry i did not know "SSL for SaaS" was a product name for a specific feature. I totally agree, this would have been really nice to be able to offer my clients, but is currently not really accessible. There are a few things like this such as custom error page etc. Lets hope more enterprise offerings will be more accessible for smaller projects in the future...

When you consider what it's doing to the land and environment, maybe so.
This level of access horrifies me and in more than one way.

We should be limiting what people can do, and not giving them the keys to the kingdom.
Automation makes UBI more politically and economically feasible. I.e. no-one could reasonably call for UBI when 95% of the population were farmers.
Exactly, there is a limit to the intelligence that people are willing to pay for. For example, no aircraft manufacturer will go as far as to develop a differential thrust system that replicates how UA 232 pilots guided their plane after flight controls are lost. Its just not cost effective.
Not really.

The gold/silver standard refers to the monetary system where paper cash is backed by precious metals, for which it can be exchanged any time.

It does not refer to literally buying things with gold.

So yes, Bitcoin has all the same issues as a gold-backed currency (a gold standard).

Private forms of money were created in order to help alleviate the extreme inelasticity of gold-backed currencies, which the US abandoned in 1971. So Bitcoin would have all the issues of the dollar from 1944 to 1971.
It's always interesting when I hear US citizens whinge about paying more tax. Heaven forbid you get a functioning healthcare system and a government that actually governs

It's possible they're exaggerating to get a good sound bite to get people on their side -- "medical information" could refer to health insurance enrollment forms, and "financial records" could refer to paystubs or benefits information.

As an older programmer I have been actively avoiding JS/ML/k8s.

JS is simply garbage we are stuck with where you have to learn all this years footguns to avoid creating bad code. ML is a buzzword of limited scope. k8s is system administration by another name. Web and mobile technologies are useless to learn unless you need them RIGHT NOW as they have a half-life of 18 months.

I want to learn the "force multiplier" sitting beyond what we are using today. GC languages were the last round of force multiplier, and we haven't had much since.

Right now, the only candidate that looks to be a force multiplier is Rust, but I would jump to something else that looked like a force multiplier.

ML is a "force multiplier", but it has limited scope. It might be worth learning depending upon what field I'm sitting in.
Bit harder than that mostly because the court system is designed to avoid universally "resolved" issues as much as possible.

The first hurdle is to get it into federal court (since you probably want this tested beyond your current state). To do that, you'll need someone from out of state to sue you.

The next hurdle is how to get this case resolved in other federal courts. You could either setup the same scenario for each district (requiring that your 2 parties have businesses in 2 states in each of the districts) or you could try to appeal all the way to the supreme court. Tricky, because this really isn't likely to be a case that the SC would take up (it'd need the lower courts to disagree with each other. Further, they'll usually not do it unless the district courts also disagree).

Overall, the whole thing would be super expensive to pull off.
Related to this bug, some time ago I started getting spam on my Google Calendar. Not sure if Google ever fixed it, but basically Google would automatically add events to your calendar when you got an invite in your email. Honestly, it's a nice feature; saves a couple clicks every time I get an invite. The bug is that it applied even if the email was spam. There was no workaround, other than disabling the feature completely. Quite a pain. And yes, just like this bug, you'd get lovely "eat my pussy" events popping up on your calendar and reminders.

Thanks Google, you're the best /s
Correct.

Not trying to nitpick but I had trouble following some of your wording. What would the international incident be over if it happened during a fight? I get that blinding civilians by accident during a training exercise could blow up but blinding targets with a high powered laser doesn't seem that different from using flash grenades when storming a building. I was also unsure because you mentioned it happening during a fight and it seems like if you can already lock onto a target to fire a laser into their eyes it'd be more efficient to skip blinding them and just shoot or bombard them.

iirc unlike Dropbox, files shared with you do not count against your quota on Google Drive as long as you don't add it to your drive.
People have been impersonating politicians' accents pretty well for decades, mostly for comedy value, without tripping over sentence structures and pronunciation (unless that's the joke...)

Other than lowering the effort bar, I'm not sure what deepfakes add. Sure, it means someone can make Donald Trump reading copypasta[1] or Dubya rapping [2] without knowing how to do impressions or even speaking the language natively, but a competent voice actor could do a much better job of putting words into politicians' mouths, and one thing political ads don't lack is budget.

"We reinvented ECL" in a press release. <eye roll>

Folks, the IBM Journal of Research and Development from inception to 1970 is required reading.

If you don't do that, don't be surprised when the greybeards laugh at you.
The sad reality is that this is the only way to ever get anywhere with Google's seemingly build it then abandon it services. You build something to move up the ladder while someone else is tossed at your ladder that is on its way crashing down at varying speeds.

Now they embrace, extend, extinguish, and sometimes just shut it down cause it's not being marketed for a price at all.
I don't have anything against that or moving to a location that meets your values.

It's more that I'd prefer to support schools and social programs, and have those open to me as best as possible, than get away from it all. I've been in a spot where if it wasn't for the ACA I'd be dead (specifically extension of parents insurance until child is 26) and if I didn't have strong local schools growing up I probably wouldn't have gone far. We do better when we work together and pool resources for all, including the next generation. It's hard for me to be a part of that by moving somewhere rural.

And I can't bring myself to move to a red state unless it's flipping purple and willing to basically pull a Virginia. The social rights differences between colors is serious and unfortunate.
Again, this is not an issue. You could make up a bunch of questions about pretty much anything, it's always going to be questions and answers in a management chain.

The point is that all this stuff can be answered by the two people as a team, and if they disagree they have to figure out a mature way to present their disagreement or manage to convince each other. If you're an experienced engineer and you think your solution is better than the junior's, then by all means just lay it out for your teammate to understand and accept it. If you can't even convince your teammate, I'd be worried about what you're going to do about your superiors all the way to the CTO.

Ultimately if there are a couple paths then you end up listing the trade-offs together as a team, genuinely, and you present THAT to your superior so that you can have a higher-level discussion about what they see and want from their perspective. You do the homework together, and you do it well enough so that your manager doesn't have to work for you.. Which you should be able to do anyway if you were about to be the manager, right?
Yeah, especially as we get about 1 "loud pipes" guy every half hour throughout the day where I live, I'd love to have Mr. Loud Pipes be regulated into oblivion.

It's so bad that I'll be sitting inside with my SO having a conversation and we'll pause whatever we're saying for Mr. Loud Pipes, then when he's gone we can start talking again.
> Think about it - a hanging light bulb vibrates when you speak... Really? I don't see any movement, and I'm right there.

I don't see any movement on my computer speakers or mic when they're emitting or receiving sound, but they wouldn't function if vibration wasn't happening. You can measure the vibrations from a short distance away with a laser setup that costs about $300 IIRC.

So the basic concept is sound. After that it's just a question of what kind of measurement setup a government agency with absurd amounts of time and money could cook up.
Hell no.

At least have qualified pilots who want discounted travel on board (being available for emergency take over pays for their flight—a new pilot takes over at their destination).

Nitpicl: Only one of Lausanne's two metro lines is automated; the m1 is way too exposed to human interaction with the track area for that to be risked as it's currently laid out.

Also, Line 14 on the Paris metro (heavy use) has been automated since the 90s.
In Cat 3 autoland the plane does the approach and landing manoeuvres but the pilot is still in control. Complete zero visibility landing is not allowed. Pilot needs to see something like 50 feet to see the center line and make sure that the plane is in touchdown area. There are also wind limits, almost no turbulence is not allowed and so on.
It's probably safe to assume that some Facebook employees have used their work email to correspond with their doctor, accountant, etc. just for the sake of convenience.

And it sounds like the EU is asking Facebook to turn over every email they have the matches any of the 2500 search terms, which would include some of these.
My take is that it implements the benefits you describe for simple sites that might have less infrastructure at their disposal. It seems like you still need a node runtime to rebuild the files when the cache needs to be regenerated, however.
He works for the military. He’s more open about it recently. I used to watched his videos but now its just advertisement for the military. He seems very happy designing efficient killing machines. He mentioned works on rocket propelled munitions research.
When most of them are from a little connected with the hackers to basically the same people and live off of ransoms I wouldn't use words like Pretty legit. I'm sure the exact business you have worked with is very different, in your opinion. I'm also sure everyone says that. I doubt a single of these businesses exists that isn't connected to hackers at all. How about a name if you are sure and we'll see?

Fixed.

For all intents and purposes, you can still work as an engineer without having to take responsibility for your work.

I don't think it's a great system because the person who signs off on it becomes the scapegoat if something goes wrong.
Yeah, if only more people knew some history: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
I am very wary of just about anything published on the history of science or mathematics. Much of it tends to be very low quality full of just-so stories, or at best whiggishness. Unfortunately much of the work by academics on the subject is not much better as the field is full of former mathematicians or scientists with an interest in history rather than lots of historians with an interest in mathematics or science.
Yep, it undermine's everything Peter Thiel said in his debate with Andresson and was amazing to me Andresson didn't bring it up. They were looking at wage stagnation over the period where women entered the workforce, but without ever mentioning it was the period where women entered the workforce en masse.

Lightning has nothing to do with holding and transporting Bitcoin. Holding Bitcoin is literally free. Transporting Bitcoin can also be free, depending on what you mean by transporting.
I used to get these in Russian (I don't speak Russian and have no links with Russia). The worst part was I couldn't delete them from the Android app, which is like probably everyone else the only place I ever see my Google calendar. The functionality to delete them was hidden at calendar.google.com or somewhere I'd never had occasion to use. I don't get this spam any more, so I guess Google fixed it at some level.
For me Bitcoin further exacerbates the already terrible distribution of wealth in our world. BTC is purely a play for the "rich" folks. I say "rich" because it needs not just tech access and disposable money barriers but also has the additional tech knowledge barrier to it.
Normally, a big problem in crypto-currency blog posts is that an ill-informed author blathers on about supposed technical features of blockchains.

But this article is remarkable in that it doesn't mention any feature or property of bitcoin at all! You could replace the word 'bitcoin' in the page with any other currency, monetary system or whatever means of accounting that you like (using shells for currency, perhaps?), and nothing would change. The article is amazingly content-free, and its arguments & propositions could be re-applied to whatever you like/dislike!
To a degree, but it's ranked to how close to the edge they are.

As experienced technologists we certainly know HOW it can be done but we probably struggled to believe they have the competence (governments generally suck at getting stuff done) or the generally willingness to store generally boring chit-chat on phone-calls/social media.

i.e. from an efficiency point of of view, I expected them to monitor "bad" people and didn't really expect them to monitor "boring/normal" people.

I think having someone with Snowdens credentials certainly helps. I think critical thinking people generally listen to people who we value as being closer to the issue. (or least rank them higher)

e.g.

- Is climate change real? What do the majority of climate scientists think?

- Is this startup trend/idea interesting? What does pg think?

- Is this thing about COVID-19 real? What does Dr. Champbell (youtube) think?
Absolutely.

Most accidents occur when people are distracted, doing stupid things and at the same being sleep deprived and looking on the phone.

Imagine only producing accident rates twice as good as that, what a nightmare.
Is it possible that someone could share files with someone that is elicit content in order to get them in trouble or to target children's accounts? Seems...like a problem.
