McDonald's has really good coffee! The biggest issue is getting it fresh, but if you go in the morning, that's typically not an issue.

Just be sure to ditch the plastic lid so it doesn't impact the taste.
This is a common issue across all vehicles with radar AEB systems, and the problem isn't vehicle manufacturers but the general public in the belief that these systems are more robust than they are (pedestrian collision avoidance).

To your point about Tesla, they vigorously communicate that you (as do other manufacturers) as the driver are responsible at all times. We can go roundabout like we always do about this, but regulators have continued to allow these systems to be marketed and sold, and they're the authority. Why are we blaming automakers for garbage drivers? The driver is who you sue when they hit a pedestrian.

> 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.

> 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.

If you're in the middle of a world crisis, and you need a small computer + touch screen, Rpi is THE solution. Farnell and radiospares have tons of stocks.
Here is a longer video, seems like other cars are able to break before hitting the pedestrian. Also, there is no "still" pedestrian, as some point out.

Still rooting for Tesla to figure this out!
Meth and opioid abuse causes permanent brain changes that affect their capacity to feel pleasure. Teenagers are stupid and their brains primed for novelty seeking. Because of this, legalization would drastically increase the volume of drugs available, and thus would most likely increase the number of young people exposed to these drugs, affecting them for life.

I really don't understand the recent push for legalization of all drugs. Meth is not like marijuana and absolutely should not be legalized.

In the US at least, McDonald's coffee is pretty good. It might just be because nobody goes into McDonald's with high expectations.

Panera also does a coffee subscription. $9 / month for unlimited coffee.
This is an arbitrary distinction to compare Sweden to Norway(who also had no mask mandate), cherry picked to fit your narrative.

Sweden had deaths on par with the average of all of European countries less than Italy, Spain, the UK, etc.
>Among other changes, the proposed rule would limit the time students could spend in English language training to no more than two years over a lifetime and impose limits on the number of times students can change programs at the same degree level or move to a program at a lower degree level

So, if you can't learn English in two years you're basically fucked?
Is This Necessary?
I'm in a similar boat; I've spent time working with such a wide range of languages that they all feel familiar to me. However, getting comfortable with a new standard library still takes me a year or two.
You realize opioids are required and necessary medicine in many cases? You can't really ban them, without making millions suffer excruciating debilitating pain. And this whole situation of having them via badly-designed prescription process got US where its now.

Your approach looks like naive one - this bad, I want this banned. You for sure must understand the world is more complex than that?

I consider tobacco and alcohol harmful substances. They should be outright banned, people should go to jail for trafficking and consuming that vile liquid/plant which destroyed tens of millions of lives. But somehow, world doesn't revolve around my personal wishes, does it. Because there are other views in society on those
Does anyone know what version of the code was leaked? Was it the most current version of the XP, or a codebase from 2008?

>, I have tried learning to code from YouTube videos but I really don't recommend it

Videos can work better for learning visual UI tasks of programming. E.g. learning how to navigate visual IDEs such as Jetbrains, MS Visual Studio, Apple Xcode, Qt Creator, Amazon AWS dashboard, etc.

If the above were all reduced to text-based materials, you'd end up with a bunch of static screen shots which misses the movement of the mouse and the button clicks that showed how the IDE changed from one state to the next.

On the other hand... if you're primarily learning the syntax of a language or studying the Big-O properties of an algorithm, you don't need a talking head on a video to explain it. It's more efficient to just read the text.
I wouldn’t my car to drive into a wheeled mannequin rolling onto the street either.
To expand:

The decision-making and communities of Ethereum (this goes both for the clients, the blockchain, the foundation and the larger community) looks completely different today compared to 2015. There has been a lot of lessons learnt, debate and churn since.

If they same thing happened today, it'd play out completely differently.

See the Parity Multisig hack, for one.

Finally, it's a stretch to call the dao hack "arbitrage trade".
15980 are just variations of "Yakety Sax."
At least with Facebook it's harder to do disinformation campaigns as they require a phone number to register, which would mean some outfit like the Russian IRA[0] would need a fuck-tonne of Russian-number phones to do influence operations, which would be a huge red flag and a sure-fire way of doing attribution to Russian state backed entities.

Twitter, not so much. I can still register an account with just an email address (and emails are easy to cook up en masse, unlike phone numbers), then I do my psyop campaign.

We have enough complexity in our lives as is. We need a better structure to manage this, not less structure.
Really? Are they in the Olympics? Do they have a seat in the UN? Are they in the WHO? The World Bank? IMF?
Fair enough, I understand your point better now. I also remember hearing a lot of arguments for lowering the curve lowering overall deaths back in March - either by heavily suppression or elimination of spread, or by a vaccine or effective treatment.

Nowadays it seems both EU & US hasn't pursued heavy suppression (probably too costly, and legally and culturally difficult), but rather just hoping to keep it somewhat under control until a vaccine comes, hopefully.
> those who would rather save the weak than keep their freedom

You show a strong bias here.

I would say "those who would rather save the unlucky".

Dying of Covid-19 or getting Long Covid is not due to "weakness".
This is the reason my regular dealer sold various items when I was in college.

He figured he had the rest of his life to be boring, but the excitement of dealing was too tempting right now to turn down. I'm betting a lot of the people running these sorts of things are in that area; it's just too interesting to try and too much adrenaline at times.

Also, are you named after just general detritus, or the Pratchett character?
It sounds a little like you're just learning similar languages.
" ... citizens of countries with student and exchange visitor visa overstay rates exceeding 10 percent would only be eligible for two-year visas with the possibility for renewal"

Why should the overstay rate inform the duration of a visa?
I can understand it playing a part in whether a visa is issued or not. But if someone is going to overstay, a 1-day visa is also sufficient for them to overstay indefinitely.
I think it is unfair that FooBarWidget's comment is being downvoted.

I have no dog in this fight, but the HN rules state that you should not downvote a comment only because you disagree -- but, instead, because it does not add value to the discussion or is not constructive.

Just keen to protect HN from downvoting less popular views.
The difference is reading only differences (which are usually minor and few hours/year from all courses all together) and redoing whole degree every year in one year.
Do you have any sources for this? As far as I know, Assange went to great lengths redacting sources.
Many of the comments here seem to be missing the point. It is an object moving into the path of the car, and if the safety systems work as advertised, it should avoid that object. Whether it's a person, shopping cart, bike, go kart, etc. doesn't matter.
Eh, I don't get it. When looking at the before and after screenshots of Wikipedia, I greatly prefer the "before" fonts. It looks easier to read and less squished. Though they both suffer from the much bigger problem where the lower case L is indistinguishable from the capital i.

> 1. The test may be fake, and Tesla driven manually.

The second video had in car footage clearly displaying a visual warning and playing a collision warning sound. Because of concerns over phantom braking, these can be overridden by the accelerator pedal.

I wouldn't call it fake, but it is exaggerated.

To add context, If Swedden would have the same population as Spain, the number of killed people at the current ratio would be 26907. In Czechia (a country with a similar population that Swedden) would be 2489 instead. Less than ten times lower.

Swedden has not such stellar results as they are trying to sell.
Democracy requires informed consent, and an education on the facts. A truly free people are trusted with the facts, and it is the ethical duty of journalists to provide this education, and as such Assange has acted to the highest ethical standards.

I don't claim there is some higher power (e.g. the direction of history, science) from where democracy as a societal telos (i.e. end goal) gains its legitimacy. I just think most people desire democracy as a telos for society, and this collective desire is a basis for ethics.

The version of ethics according to which Assange is unethical is a jurdical view of ethics, where the laws created by the state are taken to be the laws of ethics. But the moment you accept that this juridical ethics is a transcendent source of objective truth, you've taken an extremely one sided partisan political position i.e. that of the elites, who wrote the laws, and created the laws of ethics that reinforce the status quo.
I would guess "mainstream news" from context, although I see MSM (mainstream media) a lot more often.
> This paper is a pre-print and has not been subject to formal peer-review.

Not a great start

This piece, which you present as good quality evidence, says

> The lack of clear recommendations for the general public and low uptake of wearing face masks and coverings may be attributed to: (i) over-reliance on an evidence-based medicine approach and assertion that evidence was weak due to few conclusive RCT (randomised controlled trial) results in community settings, discounting high quality non-RCT evidence.

Someone asks for good quality evidence and you post a link to an opinion piece saying stop over-relying on good quality evidence?

I mean, your link even says they don't have much evidence

> Current knowledge on the effectiveness of face masks to prevent virus transmission from COVID-19, SARS, MERS and H1N1 is mostly limited to studies of surgical masks and N95 respirators. The majority of existing studies are conducted in health care settings and focus on protection of the mask wearer as opposed to wearing a mask for the protection of others. This distinction is vital since mask wearing for the general public occurs in non-clinical situations (home, public transport, shops, restaurants) and involves both protection of oneself but also others.

[...]

> We emphasise that the majority of studies have been conducted in health care settings and there are therefore caveats in the ability to transfer results directly to community settings

Um, how long have you been in the industry?

Software has always sucked and had these issues. It has nothing to to with automated QA. The reason you see more issues is 'way back in the day' your software had a very limited number of things that it did, and in general it did not involve accessing a network or chugging down massive volumes of data from untrusted sources.

I work for a company that has a lot of individuals that test for QA issues, they have list miles long of things to check and write reports on.

The question is energy density and economics. Can solar/wind with the same environmental impact per kWh become cheaper than nuclear? Maybe it's already cheaper. Who knows. So far no one has really pointed at data in this thread.
"had little effect" is equivalent to no effect; read the paper. "Trends between the treated and non-treated counties are virtually identical prior to the protests. This is reassuring and suggests that the timing of the protests is not correlated with trends in COVID-19 case growth or unobservable determinants of case growth."

I don't know what you're quibbling over. If we're reaching for absolute zero levels of covid spread, then sure protests had a giant effect (just from logic). That's not practical; people need to go outside.

And per the "it is possible that the protests caused an increase in the spread" is in reference to the article's earlier hypothesis that because people were leaving their homes to protest, you would expect them to get covid at a higher rate than someone who never left their house. The article didn't have any direct evidence that that was actually the case though.
I'd expect a car with an automatic braking system to automatically brake when a "weird windmill" or "one of those hot air moving men" moves predictably to intersect its path.
That's not how the precautionary principle works, no matter how much Greenhalgh repeats it.
I'm surprised more hobbyists haven't developed public mesh networks. There are so many wireless routers and devices that this seems like a great opportunity. I would think makerspaces would be all over this idea.

Watching highly-effective programmers navigate, explain, and modify code can be a career-changing experience.

In this world the customer base is a lot smaller. If there is a question about that reviewer being unauthentic, a request to see a label, or tx block is straightforward way to weed out bad actors.

It's a lot harder to get away with fraud in a smaller customer base operation and the people who run the marketplaces are not interested in allowing fraud to persist, they also have an incentive to squash that, unlike amazon.
Ask HN: What are the approximate bandwidth limits on different Cloudflare plans?
I ask because it's notoriously hard to get an answer to this across the internet. I understand the normal cloudflare plans are not for streaming of video etc.

Does anyone know what the rough TB limits are for Free, Pro and Business, before which you are asked to upgrade?

I'm specifically interested if 2500TB of bandwidth is accommodated in the Pro or Business plans?
What he said on 60 minutes in March 2020, and I'm transcribing here:

"The masks are important for someone who is infected to prevent them from infecting someone else. Now when you see people and look at the films in China and South Korea and everyone is wearing a mask - right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.

There's no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel better, and it might even block a droplet, but it is not providing the perfect protection people think it is. And often, there are unintended consequences, people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.

When you think mask, you should think of healthcare providers needing them and people who are ill. When you look at the films of foreign countries and you see 85% of the people wearing masks, that's fine, I'm not against it, if you want to do it, that's fine."

"But it can lead to a shortage of masks?"

"Exactly. It can lead to a shortage of masks for the people who really need it."

This was in March, before things started really blowing up. That seems pretty upfront to me as to why they are making the recommendation, and it's incorrect in hindsight.

I don't see it as a lie at all.
I was just watching an old YouTube video of a couple guys throwing a giant rock off a bridge into a river in a remote part of the U.S with no one around. It was 20 seconds long.

If it were produced in 2020, you'd have 10 minutes of useless preamble including discussion about how hyped they are to throw a rock, how difficult it is to carry a rock, fake drama about being followed by non-existent security, a drone shot of the environment, how awesome it was to throw a rock, and random memes.

Even though I emphasized the two different things Wikipedia and Wikimedia earlier in this discussion, you are conflating them. Wikipedia is an electronic encyclopaedia, divided up into languages. Wikimedia is the name of the Wikimedia Foundation, and (as long as they adhere to various conditions) the names of various Wikimedia chapters, like Wikimedia Taiwan, and Wikimedia thematic organizations.

The keyboard shortcuts are a major pet peeve of mine on Linux. It wouldn't be technically hard to make the default text editing/WM keys use Super, but I think that Windows-style and Emacs-style shortcuts are too much of an ingrained assumption at this point for it to be feasible to offer system-wide Mac-style keybindings too.

The trackpad woes are a clear priority for some members of the Linux community and I can visualize a future in which trackpads work nearly as well on Linux as they do on macOS. Offering consistent Mac-style keybindings everywhere (maybe through a GTK setting, like switching between Windows-style and Emacs-style?) seems like a harder problem, especially because of the politics and ingrained assumptions.

Should that matter? The US holds itself up as better than other countries, as the best. We should be the example.
I was just thinking, it's odd that there are still processors being made that don't support ECC memory, and that this isn't a thing that is expected given the (relatively) large amounts of RAM that are included in modern machines.
That's amazing.

I used to swim with this eel and a bass(?) sometimes one summer. The eel would swim near the bottom and the bass would swim above him a foot or two. I imagine the eel would flush out prey the bass would eat. I'm not sure if the eel got anything out of the deal though.
They timed the movement of the pedestrian so it was only in front of the car when it had less than 10 feet to stop, of course it will hit it.

Here in the UK part of the driving law is that you should always be able to stop in time to avoid hitting something. If you're driving somewhere with poor visibility (eg a road with cars parked down the sides) then you should slow down. If you do hit something it's determined that you were driving too fast, so it's considered your fault and you have to have evidence to prove otherwise (eg a dashcam).

In the case in the video, seeing someone waiting by the side of the road should be enough to make a competent driver slow down a little.

I imagine the same is true in the US and China.
