> Unless Cruise has changed recently

I can't say much about what their actual protocols are supposed to be, I can only offer my personal anecdata. I do occasionally see cruise cars around the Japan Town area with only one person in the car. They often park at the safeway across geary. The waymo cars, I see them roaming around closer to downtown, also with single driver, though they don't seem to concentrate in any particular area that I can tell. I also occasionally see unbranded SDVs, sometimes w/ two people, sometimes w/ one. Not sure which company those are from.

> SF is also an easier place to be watching an SDV

Well, from a regulatory perspective, one shouldn't be able to get away with saying "well I was not in a crowded area to keep me attentive, that's why the accident happened". I'd even argue that if the job involves looking at a tablet while the car is motion, then being in a crowded area would make things _more_ dangerous.

When I really need to run a Windows application, I fire up a VM and use it. KVM's desktop experience is lacking, but VirtualBox is excellent.

And the VMs are nicely contained, disk volumes can have copy-on-write snapshots, and the volumes can even be made immutable - you shut the VM down and, when you restart, it's back to its immutable state. This is becoming less than practical thanks to various self-updating things - you need to make them mutable, let the self-updates happen and then you can make them immutable again. Otherwise they'll self update a lot on every boot.

Hey HN,

I’m Caleb, and I’m a maintainer of Cortex, an open source model deployment platform. Not long ago, we published this DIY license plate reader project, and I wanted to share it here for anyone who is interested in computer vision or production machine learning in general.

The project is a web service that accepts images and, using three trained models, returns extracted license plate text, assuming there is a license plate in the image. Of the models used, two are pre-trained models from keras-ocr, while one is a fine tuned YOLOv3. All models are freely available.

You can see a video of the project in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsYEZtecXlA

And read a write up by Robert Lucian, the maintainer who spearheaded this entire project, about how he built a camera system to interface with the web service using a Raspberry Pi and 5G: https://towardsdatascience.com/i-built-a-diy-license-plate-r...
Yes they used to be vCore ( But you will be surprised how many developers and industry expert didn't know it was a thread )

They then dropped the vCore, so it is now simply Core.
It is fairly trivial to test other init systems using virtual machines, booting off another installation on USB or even by installing the other init system and rebooting. Also, delegating the testing to those using sysvinit and NM would have been just fine too.

It really depends on what the regulation is. If it's something to the effect of making a siloed company for AdWords that needs to offer FRAND terms to everyone, plus Alphabet is bared from doing its own ads, and has to contract it out, then AdWords Inc could gather more of the market and become even more dominant. This would still be a win, because the new, more dominant, advertising platform would not have any other businesses to anticompetitively promote. Maybe you would get competitors offering different terms, but that's probably wishful thinking.

A company that operates in a jurisdiction is regulatable by that jurisdiction. In this case, if Google weren't physically present, you sanction advertisers and local sites that use the ad service. In cases where there's no economic connection, the option is to force ISPs not to carry that traffic (and all the cat and mouse that entails).

Also, a lot of mobile carriers are international companies. In each country, they follow the local regulations. They have some economies of scale that may make it easier to compete with a network that's only in one country, but it depends on the size of that country how big the effect is.

When you have a high-level direction set by the organisation, you can't have it arbitrarily overridden by individuals with no discussion and no justification. This permits individuals who act against the overall interests of the organisation in persuit of their own agendas to dictate its path simply by being obstructive or contrary. This is not being a team player, or in fact playing fair at all.
Wait, I think I'm an idiot - does disabling password auth entirely prevent openssh from generating a password prompt?
I don't see the two as directly comparible.

Go is garbage collected, Rust is not. Go is compact, Rust has lots of functional programming bells and whistles like algebraic data types. Go compiles quickly, Rust takes a while. Go has first class support for concurrency, Rust does not.

Roll with whichever you like. For me, as a side-language, it's Go, because I already enjoy and use Haskell, and I feel like Go contrasts more with Haskell. If I didn't know Haskell, I'd probably choose Rust.

If it wasn't for a side-language, but was for a specific project, I'd choose on the basis of available libraries.

I was talking end of 90s. UnrealIRCd (mainly Carsten Munk / stskeeps) was one of the first to support TLS/SSL. At some point in start of 00s the popular IRC networks slowly but surely started to support it. There's also the case for cryptography between servers, something UnrealIRCd also was quick to adapt.

Some servers required ident(d) response which required a server running on privileged port 113.
Many people are concerned about the way this hearing is being carried out. For example, here's the International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI):

> The IBAHRI concurs with the widespread concern over the ill-treatment of Mr Assange. He must be afforded equality in access to effective legal representation. With this extradition trial we are witnessing the serious undermining of due process and the rule of law. It is troubling that Mr Assange has complained that he is unable to hear properly what is being said at his trial, and that because he is locked in a glass cage is prevented from communicating freely with his lawyers during the proceedings commensurate with the prosecution. - https://www.ibanet.org/Article/NewDetail.aspx?ArticleUid=c05...

As others here, like cmiles74, have mentioned, there are also serious sound issues affecting those who are trying to follow the case. Given all that, it's hardly surprising that Amnesty would be worried and would want access to monitor for themselves.
I guess it's just assumed, because she's a woman and a writer with a presence on Twitter. Stereotyping, in other words. Or maybe the author just picked her name from the list because it was recognizable.
He does specifically say "how does that show up on a 7 year old's iPhone" at 1:30, and those words will be entered into the record, which is probably why Sundar responded with that.

iPhone claims aside, that's just a terrible question. Doesn't know what type of phone it was, doesn't know what type of game they were playing, doesn't give any details on the sort of photo shown or the ad copy shown. By all likelihood it sounds like this was a Facebook ad because of FB's "Social Ads" policy does use profile pictures of people on your friends list in their ads. On top of that, kids are not the smartest or most honest. It could have been a picture of any old man that looks similar and she assumes it's her grandpa. It could be a made-up story entirely.
This is how military redactions have been done forever. If a soldier writes home to his family and includes classified details (“I watched the sun rise over Mt Vesuvius yesterday but today we are moving west”) the censors just cut out the text with a knife.

> Unfortunately in Britain, the BBC largely decides what people care about, or are even aware of.

I would disagree with that. There are multiple massive news outlets, majority of which have a larger user base for their online offering than the BBC. For Televised news it is very popular but again not a monolopy. This is getting the same level of coverage on all outlets because the interest from the public on what seems to be a very legally techincal trial is not high. There will be lots of coverage once there is an outcome but for the most part of on-going cases unless it's a scandal involed the average person only cares about the outcome.

The most common emotions were "joy (65%), trust (63%), surprise (61%), love (59%), kindness (56%), friendship (48%), and fear (41%) during the encounter experience, with smaller proportions reporting emotions such as sadness (13%), distrust (10%), disgust (4%), or anger (3%)." Interestingly, 58 percent of respondents said the being also had an emotional response, almost always a positive one.

> it does seem to be the case that for various reasons, for economics and population-level social science, there's limited advantage to using DAGs.

A tangent: on the one hand, I do think DAGs are the best thing since sliced bread, and I wish more people would embrace them and add them to their toolbox as a fundamental modelling tool. On the other hand, the next step is realization that DAGs aren't sufficient. Lack of cycles is nice for analysis and implementation, but it's also a drawback. The world is running on feedback loops, and yet this seems to be a secret restricted only to specialists deep inside their respective fields. I'd wish the public was more accustomed to working with dynamic models.

(I don't think cyclic graphs help much with causality analysis, as presumably cycles would imply time travel.)
Or maybe the Hyper-V team sees that Windows as the only host that Hyper-V support as a liability. Look at [0], you need 16 hours to compile Windows in 64 bit superfast workstation w/ hundreds of GB memory, which would be frustrating and annoying, if they just want to improve Hyper-V and testing, working w/ Linux would be much faster since it compiles within minutes on standard dev machine with adequate RAM.

Long ago when I used to do maintenence on video consoles and pin-ball machines. The pin-ball machine was built with a standard desktop motherboard with additional circuits for the display and sound. If you wetted you finger and ran it along the tracks on the PCB, the audio circuit emitted strange avant garde sounding music. I figure it was the machine equivalent of a DMT trip :]

That’s the thing with regulation though, it’s easy to point out some positive effects but you don’t know about all of the societal advancement you may have snuffed out.

The whole 'online' thing is the soft entry into the OS war by Google by the means of diminishing of the role of the OS: the OS is like a bootloader for the browser. Browser takes the responsibility of the OS shell and main applications (mail, drive, docs, chat...). So that's a slightly different topic.

I was responding to someone who suggested that schools should build their own critical software. If there's a good FOSS option already, they should absolutely use it. But there isn't always that option.

Also, I guarantee that the school has at least 5-10 tech people, which means computing expenses are approaching $1M when you factor in benefits. Free software requires a larger in-house staff to customize and maintain it, even if the initial cost is low.

Taxes aren't voluntary.

You don't choose how much you owe.

Not all taxes go towards improving people's lives- in the US, many safety nets only kick in once you are impoverished, and can disincentivise work. As an example, the recent coronavirus add-on payments to unemployment often meant people at the lowest levels of opportunity would make more by staying home than if they got a job.

This isnt to say tax funded social nets are bad; most aren't. They certainly shouldn't be confused with charity, though.
Yeah how dare this guy give away money to things he thinks is good, and not to these other things that I think are good.

The only engineers with real power are the ones that own the company. And even then, they can still be out-maneuvered by politically astute executives.

Engineers are almost never to blame in these situations, even if they are the direct cause of an issue. There's usually so many of them that someone catches problems. But they are powerless to do much more than send a strongly worded email to their management.

Until C-suites and board members are held personally liable for tragedies like this, I doubt much will ever change. There's no real incentive to fix problems, when it costs too much money because the worst thing that will happen is, a few years down the road, there might be a Congressional inquiry and a modest fine.

Of course, any engineer whose malfeasance costs the company even 0.001% of that fine will find themselves in jail at the behest of company leadership, even if no lives were lost or any measurable damage was done to the company..

I definitely paid attention to their argument, and I never said that advertising didn't work, so I'm not following where you're going.

I said that advertising is self evident, it's not dissimulated. Ads must be signaled as being ads. On TV, comercial breaks must be voiced out - "we're going into comercial break" - you signal people that they are leaving a news format into advertising. At least in the countries I know, namely my country, where advertising is quite regulated for it's nature.

And let's not think we're Pavlov Dogs, exceptionally good advertising needs a lot of money behind it's distribution to generate enough reach and frequency to be effective - that has a tremendous cost. That's why the lion share of marketing budgets is for media buying.

Then I said that their proposal is not practical in reality - SEO, market places, reviews, product descriptions, everything is pretty much dissimulated these days, or has a high potential to be dissimulated.

Hell, the market reference, a tech firm with access to literally unlimited money, can't handle this problem, I'm talking about Amazon.
