I wouldn't say he was our Trump. Our Trump is Clive Palmer, down to the grifting and ripping off subcontractors and employees and suing people.

Abbott was more our McConnell, happy to tear down political norms and standard parliamentary practice while claiming to defend it. He was a "good" opposition leader in that he basically was in opposition to everything proposed by the government, not for good reason, just because.

He didn't last long as an actual leader, because that requires positive actions, not just oppositional or destructive ones.

He won't be missed from our political domain.
Presumably your ad blocker doesn’t prevent sites that display ads from loading at all.

I could get Turbo C or Turbo Pascal, there was no Turbo Ada. It has never had a compiler / IDE that made it easy to write Windows or Mac applications.
Honestly, I wonder why Pascal doesn't dominate, too. Safer than C while still just as powerful, "teaching language" (easy to learn) but used for serious software (as you note, Apple used it for system programming). FPC is amazingly feature rich.

I think it is a good practice because

- it keeps me accountable

- it helps me to talk to myself, in a more efficient manner

- it is a good thing to talk to your parents. she feels really nice about it

Before this I used to write in a journal, but I have found this to be much more efficient and has several side benefits.

You can also try finding someone close parents/siblings/friend/sibling etc.
We know that you can pay someone as much as you want but you can’t get them to be vigilant for a low probability event. Except, as you say, by giving them some continuous skin in the game, even if it’s illusory.

This person was being paid to pay attention, which is hard enough to get right. What happens when the person owns the car, and is just commuting? And there are millions of them, not just one person?

I have told people at airports to not friggin post their boarding passes or documents containing their booking refeeence on Instagram. Back when I was 20 I didn't lot of stupid things. One was to change tine obnoxious details about their reservations. When they were in air (and presumably had their phones off) I sent them a text message. "Never put booking information on asocial media".

I could probably have gotten in a lot of trouble.
I get the point that there are still people that don't get that Java is like C, with OpenJDK playing the role of ISO C.

>What entity should handle consumer protection in respect to fintechs?

Does the same entity that handles all other consumer protection not work in this case? Why, what makes it unique?
that's the fundamental attribution error again, attributing poor judgement/negligence to the driver, who's the visible actor, rather than the inherent systemic flaws designed by other unseen actors who hold greater responsibility.
Uber knew their backup drivers would become distracted, then this woman did and now she has been indicted. All the blame rests on those at Uber and I bet they sit around drinking cognac, laughing about how bad it would be if it were someone with a rich family. Throw some blame to the governments who allowed this totally not ready technology into our public streets.
> After the crash, police obtained search warrants for Vasquez's cellphones as well as records from the video streaming services Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. The investigation concluded that because the data showed she was streaming The Voice over Hulu at the time of the collision, and the driver-facing camera in the Volvo showed "her face appears to react and show a smirk or laugh at various points during the time she is looking down", Vasquez may have been distracted from her primary job of monitoring road and vehicle conditions.[0]

That poor person, who's job it was to watch the road, seems to have been watching Hulu instead. That's a pretty willful disregard for their job and for other's lives. I don't have much pity for them if this is the case.

I get your point about moral crumple zones and I suppose there's cases one could to point to demonstrate it, but this is definitely not a very good example of it.

It depends where you are from. Our (Australian) passports have a "series" letter at the start and then a set of numbers. Not sure whether they are random or incremental or derived.

YMMV based on nation that issues yours.
The Tegra thing is interesting, and I wrote about it in the other thread too.

It is a failure for NVidia in that they launched it as a mainstream mobile phone/tablet part, and it's not used in anything outside the NVidia Shield in that market that I'm aware of (and the Switch of course).

But it has seen success in robotics and self driving cars, because NVidia makes it easy to use and it has great performance.

So it's not obvious how to judge it. Commercially, compared to their initial goals it is probably a failure. But it has opened new markets that didn't exist so that's successful?
Except we don't "send" the recycling to China, rather China buys (bought) it from us.

So because they bought it, they value it, which means they are not just dumping it wholesale.

> the bubble barrier works on plastic pollution, so we're talking about plastics and recyclables.

But we are not talking about plastic from the US or Europe, rather we are talking about local plastic. Because, as I said above: China is not dumping random plastic in rivers, they value the plastic because they paid for it.

(Yes, there is some waste mixed in, that needs to be disposed of, however that's a minor amount compared to waste in general, and especially compared to local waste. If you need a ref on that see my other comments in this thread.)

In summary almost zero plastic from the US or Europe ends up in the ocean via a third world country. That's simply not how it happens. If you want to solve this problem you need to look elsewhere instead of blaming first world countries as you did in your earlier post.

That "unnatural amount of vigilance" is just sitting in a comfy seat and looking at the road ahead of you go by. There is nothing unnatural about that. Lots of people do similar or more boring tasks just fine.

This isn't a truck driver falling asleep from exhaustion caused by aggressive scheduling. You don't "accidentally" take out your phone when your job is looking ahead. That's deliberate negligence.

If you want to require eye sensors to detect distraction, by all means, pass a law about it. Maybe include regular non-AI cars too. #1 cause of accidents over here.

Nobody pays for anything by looking at ads.

We can play semantic games - “looking at” ads - or we can acknowledge that people pay for websites by allowing their browser to load ads, which is both true and the uncontroversial truth my comment was assuming.

Websites are obviously capable of returning that response or a 200 with text that states that the site declines to show the page...

I’m still curious how OP decides that OP is doing without.
Every time Bill Gates comes up in the news, you should realize it is PR. Just like his website is something his PR team created. The thing about PR is that it works. Look at all the comments fawning over and idolizing Gates in this thread. Something you'd never have imagined in the 90s or 00s.

For all the talk here about how PR and ads don't work and ad spending is a waste of time, it sure seems like it works wonders on the HN crowd.
Here in the UK we have a specific law that doubles the penalties for careless driving if you're using a phone. If you ran someone over you'd be charged with 'causing death by wreckless driving' and you'd probably spend some time in prison. Saying "I didn't see her" would be an admission of guilt.
Well this has been better tech support than I usually get.
Can you describe this procedure more?

For example, did you use the same album each time? Did you both uploaded to the album or only her or you? Did you keep the previous photos in the album? How'd you feel seeing yourself in the album?

Curious as I've never heard anyone shading albums ... Makes sense of course.
> It won’t protect you from lawsuits,

This sounds misinformed. The point of an LLC as far as I have always understood it is that if someone sues your company they cannot take your personal assets as collateral but only that which belongs to the company. If someone sues you, you can lose a crappy small LLC or would you rather lose your home as part of a settlement cause somebody is a monster.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this or if this is a misconception.
> At its core, our financial crisis was a systemic run. The run started in the shadow banking system of overnight repurchase agreements, asset-backed securities, broker-dealer relationships, and investment banks.

Note how none of these things are consumer deposits. Fintech and shadow banking are two names for the same thing, and the same risk of runs and need for regulation applies.

Sorry. I was posting after just reading the blog. It didn't say anything about trademarks.
I agree. This is where torts get fun in first-year law school. If Uber's training wasn't perfectly clear about the importance of the job of monitoring outside the vehicle, then part of the liability shifts to them.

Consider two training courses:

* instructors who are gung-ho on automation being "nearly there" and encouraging people to relax in the car and let the software do its work!

* instructors who are constantly impressing upon students that they need to be vigilant.

One can see how one party is 90% liable. And the other is 10% liable, etc.

The interesting part of this case comes down to the training. In that if it was lacking, it then makes it very clear to future companies that their training needs to be more rigorous.
Go doesn't require a folder for each version. You can simply change go.mod to declare the module as github.com/nemothekid/foolib/v2 or whatever.

That's one of the points of confusion — first that the go.mod module declaration doesn't need to exactly match the module location, and secondly, following this, that using a folder instead is a fallback option.

Go is famous for favouring simplicity in its design, but this is a rare instance where it's not made things simple enough.

I think we can all agree that many murderers end up committing their crimes partly because of a system that gives rise to poverty and the knock on effects of poverty on humans. However, I think most folks also agree that incarceration is an important factor in discouraging the commission of more murders. Not everyone does but even the most lenient countries tend not to let the perp off scott free.

Which is all to say that "the system made me do it" really doesn't fly as an excuse for felonious behavior.
> If you're introducing breaking changes once per month, then your library really isn't ready.

The whole software industry moved away from waterfall to agile because it's unreasonable to assume that no requirements will emerge. I would disagree, for example, that Python3 is not ready just because they're introduced backward incompatible changes in some minor releases.
How is the required amount of vigilance any different than that of normal driving?

Brave New World's "I'm glad to be a β" is funnier if one takes it as an observation, like Cleese's and the 2 Ronnies' 60's treatment, of the actual british class system as it existed in 1930.

Is there a name for the "straight man" who motivates an infodump in fiction? In the Yes, Minister series, Sir Humphrey Appleby GCB KBE MVO (as he is now, Winchester) frequently has an excuse to infodump because Jim Hacker (as he was then, school unknown) went to the LSE and therefore couldn't possibly be expected to know how things are done. Fortunately for Mr. Hacker, Sir Humphrey platonically helps him to recall the ideals of government, e.g. "When there is a Labour government, the education authorities tell them that comprehensives abolish the class system and when there's a Tory government we tell them that it's the cheapest way of providing mass education; to Labour we explain that selective education is divisive and to the Tories we explain that it is expensive."

The run he's describing there is fundamentally the same as a run on retail banks. Retail banks in the US are pretty much run-proof due to the FDIC, but that's not the case for the shadow banking system.
>A database that crashes should not be corrupt!!! Isn't this reliability 101? Why doesn't myrocks have chaos monkey stress testing etc etc?

Because Facebook has little incentive to ensure that RocksDB works well in your use case. MyRocks was built for Facebook and anything that Facebook doesn’t do probably isn’t particularly hardened. They aren’t going to invest time doing chaos monkey stress testing on codepaths they don’t use. Things like durability might not be super important to them because they will make it up in redundancy.

Agreed when you think of them as a normal business. it's bonkers, but if you're looking at it as a R&D shop - closer to pharma or biotech, it's less crazy (still a little crazy tho).

That's why it can really on be funded by guys like Alphabet who can take these R&D hits.

You’re exhibiting a serious hindsight bias. The monopoly of Wintel (remember how they were often viewed as inseparable) was full and complete. The only thing that made a dent was a rise in mobile that made the desktop less relevant and the incredible success of Google. All through the nineties though Microsoft’s monopoly on consumer level computing was complete and unshakable. A couple of major slip ups with the ActiveX rollout and their fumbling with mobile is a happy accident of history as we were very close to having a Standard Oil of computing which the feds would very likely do nothing about as the twenty first century robber barons got much wiser about playing the feds to their advantage. Microsoft’s Antitrust trial being the prime example.

We still see the echos of it to this day as PC based gaming is confined to the closed platform of Microsoft DirectX as they managed to squeeze out and nearly kill off OpenGL. To this day no alternative has threatened this monopoly as Linux and OSX gaming has been utterly subdued by Windows and never took a foothold.
I don't think this distinction is morally meaningful. Do passive monitoring tasks require more discipline? Probably. Are you unable to perform them? Get another job.

How many times do you think this driver was distracted with the phone when doing their job? I bet it wasn't just this one time that they happened to crash.

Pilots crash after hours of boredom because debugging problems in the air is hard, not because they were negligent leading up to the problem (vast majority of the time, anyway). And still by and large they succeed, it just goes unreported in the news because business-as-usual. This driver on the other hand got into an unrecoverable situation because of their own behaviour.

In a revenue sense, e.g. if you are contracting with the state. Paying California taxes is about equally easy for a California resident, New York resident or Delaware entity.

Or if you’re operating a small business unlikely to ever need to use the courts or raise outside capital, and the extra ~$300 for a Delaware entity isn’t worth the benefits.

The rental property investors I’ve known usually form an LP with an LLC as the general partner. Both entities will be solely devoted to a single piece of property. The limited partners are often involved in multiple investments. The LP will often contract a sister LLC for services like property management...so the rent checks get written to an LLC that can screw up without putting the real property asset at direct risk.

I once had to provide my employer copies of court documents proving something or other in order to qualify for the benefits plan I was attempting to enroll. The part of the document that contained the info they required also contained other information I did not want them to have, and I was more than irked at having to do this in the first place. I used Photoshop to draw a 99% black box as the redaction, but then using a 100% black font color typed in a nasty little message. Nobody was ever going to see it, but just knowing that if they did it would be a shock. I qualified for the package.
Modern cars are essentially self driving on the highway, and it doesn't require an an unnatural level vigilance to operate them. To be fair, the driver's assistance features are usually come with an attention monitor, so Uber is negligent in that aspect.

Also, no one said the driver has to do nothing. They can safely listen to audiobooks or talk on the phone.
What use-cases are you thinking to use it for?
the naming may a bit confusing across products (xl vs pro vs +), but I think 4 is probably the sweet spot. The first three being cheap, light, fast. And the fourth being more of a sister miniature product. the "regular" needs a consistent name across products, and it should probably become the cheap line with previous gen parts. the ipad and the iphone s could become the iPad Core and the iPhone Core, that give you the Core experience of an Apple product without the frills of a Pro line, or the weight shaving and high end chipset of an Air.
