The US can use some of the trillions it wasted(and still wasting) on middle east wars for fixing Earth.
Agree. It’s odd that among us causes problems since there’s not a lot there and it works on android.

Most recent frustration for me was Firefighter Simulator. Ended up trying out a VMware product and playing it through a VM. Wasn’t great.
And Chicago has nearly 6x as many violent crimes per year as Oakland or San Francisco and still edges them out on property crime.
There's nothing "to be fair" about this.

The levels are technical distinctions in a roadmap towards "self driving cars", which by any reasonable definition are Level 4 and 5.

Below that it is marketing for advanced cruise control features (level 1 and 2), or dangerous (level 3).
I was active player during CS 1.6 era. I really didnt see the issues you mention and rarely actually met cheaters. When i did they were quickly vote kicked or banned out.

I think it is more likely that there is intense internal conflict around this decision, and some people may be openly reaffirming their beliefs in the mission of TravisCI.
You don't need to much money to do what you like. I want to see a basic income which makes DRM one of the many "old world" formulas that cant work perfectly even if you throw infinite money at it. To pay people to write is as simple as it sounds.

While some components might be legitimate there is really no end to greed in rent seeking formulas. We can look at the TV license in the UK to see what the future might look like. They didn't even have the modern tools to monitor everyone. The system involves a database of houses where the license was not purchased. Agents will make unannounced visits to search your house.

In stead of impossible some would argue it was simply a hard problem to write into law. From that perspective we failed to create a carefully balanced set of rules. As long as the demands are small steps the copyright industry gets what they want every time while the consumer, the party argued to so greatly benefit from these laws (what a joke),..... well.... the consumer gets to play and sing songs from before 1923!

When Swartz downloaded a pile of ancient garbage articles he was going to get 35 years in prison for wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer and recklessly damaging a protected computer. This is complete nonsense and everyone knows it. If the industry wants to go full retard it should be treated as such.

Therefore we should burn it to the ground and keep the authors and keep the artists. Pay them for what they do. The only thing that matters is that the unwashed masses who already cant find work get access to educational materials. Everything else is either not important or simply entertainment. You cant use tax money for entertainment as long as you are taking it from people who can barely pay their bills. You can use it to sponsor crowd funding so that they can learn useful things and ponder the many intelligent thoughts others wrote down. To me this sounds a lot better than [say] sponsoring scientific journals with public funds so that they can paywall the stuff we've paid for.

There are tons of old books. People can go read those first before demanding more free work from authors for the benefit of publishers.

It is also easy to remove % fees from app stores by writing some laws. Or are we to think it will bankrupt google and apple? I cant recall paying Microsoft any fees.

It is my country. The legal system is there to serve me.
I hope this might be the start of a solution to the planet wide tragedy of the commons of the ocean. I do not have high hopes. The territory is too large and the criminals too small.
While potentially true, it's a trade off it seems proponents are willing to take.

The same kind of trade off happens with other modes of transport with very rigid constraints on movement, things like trains. A train can keep going, stop, or maybe with enough time reverse if there's tons of time and a strong need.

We don't stand around worrying saying "BUT WHAT IF SOMETHING'S ON THE TRACKS?!?", because the answer is "well then, the train will hit it. That's the tradeoff for being able to move freight so efficiently."
You disagree with their conclusions and are using that as proof that they are not including this data in their decision making. That's a poor argument, weakened even further by the various announcements and resources Newsom specifically has made about impacts on mental health and newly created helplines and recommendations - which make it clear that he is well aware of this effect.
I didn’t say they couldn’t get them in. Escaping a hit and run with this hypothetical three man team is probably harder and more dangerous for the operatives than smuggling in a remote controlled gun. Last time I remember they assassinated a HVT with magnetic bombs on the side of a the target’s car. This led to iranians allied to Mossad getting killed. They obviously can’t risk or possibly can’t find people to risk their life so doing it remotely is the safest bet.

And we have no idea how high tech this is. For all we know it’s a standard high caliber rifle attached to a pretty standard mount, with a live feed scope and a trigger puller. A team of engineering freshmen could develop this kind of system given the equipment. If Israel or the US are behind this they have probably had this tech for over a decade.
Bartering in this problem space is hard. Let me call up 5 of my closest friends in my city, to see if they want to leave their home, drive me from Point A to Point B, then go home, right now.
I long ago switched to CircleCI for all my builds-- it has free builds for both open source and private repositories with a simple (and comparatively inexpensive) pricing plan based on parallel builds with Windows, macOS and Linux build containers.

With Github Actions on the scene now, I don't see much reason to use Travis over one of the alternatives.
The parts of SV that have buried their power lines, probably haven't gotten a whole lot of new cable/fiber/DSL than whatever was there when they buried it.

SV is the perfect place to not bury infrastructure. There's no weather to worry about, and mostly people aren't going to shoot down the fiber to try to claim scrap metals.
I suppose the alternative would be a press conference that is broadcast to nobody, presented before an audience that remains entirely silent, and covered by no news outlets or tech blogs.

That doesn't seem like a fair thing to expect from a consumer technology company.

The pinephone can run the mainline kernel so it will probably have support for a while. There are several distros available for it because people are excited to develop free/libre mobile devices and they are experimenting.

Something else that works super nice for gaming on Linux: GPU passthrough (gaming on a VM that has direct access to the GPU).

I've been doing this since 2017. Back then I had built my first desktop computer powered by ryzen 1700 + 2 GPUs.

Creating this setup had some challenges, but after the initial hurdle everything has been working perfectly (I imagine things must be easier nowadays).

Created a windows 10 VM, assigned 4 of my 8 cores, 16 GB of RAM (got 64 on the host) and a GTX 1070. This setup is enough to play pretty much any AAA game with max settings on full HD.

Besides having every game working perfectly, I get another nice side effect: sandboxing. No games (mostly proprietary software) have access to my personal/work files.

I mean, defense contractors look at hot wars as opportunities as well. And they do drive technology forward, perhaps even more than any other force in this discussion. But that's not to say they don't have negative externalities that shouldn't be ignored.

The inventor of PCR is about as “within his field” on HIV as this guy is on aliens.
I'm not sure they'd make as much as owning the network end to end. Vertical integration is hot right now, see Apple. Uber already has delivery via freight as well as getting into air delivery, so why would they need to license it? It just makes more sense to keep the tech proprietary and use it for their various enterprises.
> What I never understand is what happens when a new situation that the system did not previously train for happen?

I think most people ask this kind of question because they assume the entire system is some kind of big if-else-if-else statement. The question about swerving and hitting the kid or the grandma follows the same logic.

What we have to realize is that a neural net can and will react to things it hasn't specifically been told about using heuristics and "similar" stuff, just like human drivers. (see video of Tesla FSD avoiding a deer recently [1])

This is exactly like a new, or student driver. They have not yet encountered every possible situation, but they're able to apply reason and logic to new things and the more they drive, the better they get. So although they've never seen a deer jump out, they know it's good to avoid things when possible BUT NOT to swerve into oncoming traffic if there is traffic. So even a new-ish driver who has never seen a deer on the road will do a decent job of slamming on the brakes and swerving if save to do so. Same goes if a tire bounces towards you on the freeway, etc. etc.

Tesla are working towards billions and billions of miles of this kind of "learning driving", where the system keeps getting better and better.

And even after those billions of miles there will be situations it has never seen before, but the required response will be extraordinarily similar to things it has seen before. Chances are it will do a better job than you or I, because it's reaction time is close enough to 0 not to matter, and emotions won't cloud it's judgment if something really extraordinary happens (plane lands on highway, flood washes away road, etc)

It's not about subsidies as a business model so much as a war of capital attrition with weaker competitors, which is necessarily not endless.

And software propagate learned knowledge perpetually, whereas each human has to learn it over and over again.

"Tech" is simply a company that you can convince VC's to throw money at in the hopes of unicorn valuations in 18 months.

Because we all know that VC's don't invest in non-tech companies anymore.
Every anti-cheat is hit or miss with Wine depending on the methods they use. Even Valve's own VAC continues to have issues with Proton: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3225

I think you're myopically focused on a certain reading, so as mentioned, won't engage further.
I've noticed this. It's really hard for social reputation and dependence for Google/Apple ID/Facebook for that web SSO feature.

e-sim works, but you can't fall on a cheap sim. But it makes sense, age of facebook account, number of friends, pictures..

I wonder if they checksum/hash pictures.
Obviously we’re throwing up ideas, but I don’t see how it’s riskier to set up a gun and leave the area as far as possible vs. set up a hit and run and try to successfully escape in a crowded city. You probably can send pre-built turret parts and let one man set it up over a few days easier. Just my opinion
> All authorized users use the same user name and password.

Well, if you want to prevent unauthorised access to your custom-built messaging system, this is not the way to do it. Proving who accessed it has become a huge forensic investigation at that point.

Saying anyone hacked a system with such a clear and simple single-point-of-failure doesn't exactly ring true. It might be true on a technical level, but you left the door wide open.

It's the loss of agency to machines, not the raw numbers that scares people. Why do you think so many people are unduly spooked after airline accidents due to mechanical or computer error?
> According to Elon's statements, Lidar is a crutch and since the AI will eventually have to be good enough to remove the crutch, remove it an the get go and save learning how to use the crutch.

There's zero reason to believe him on this.

LIDAR - combined with vision - gives a much better awareness. The only reason not to use it is (or was) cost.
I think these types of tests are pretty good, especially if there's a healthy mix of objective bugs and subjective warts. Not only does it easily allow the candidate to show what they know, it also opens the door for some discussion on the subjective parts.

My bicycle tires cost almost as much as car tires and last 20-30 times less miles than car tires (2000-3000 versus 60000 or so). Run of the mill bicycles rely pretty heavily on industrialized production. It's all speculative but regularly used bicycles would be fairly useless after a few years due to wear and tear and lack of replacement parts - the specialized parts could not be cobbled together from scrap (unless one lived in Japan next to an old Shimano factory or Italy next to Campagnolo). If only used sparingly, yes, then the bicycles would last a long time unlike gasoline, but if one has to restrict one's use, might as well go back to using horses.

>They received subsidies for electric cars and delivered electric cars.

Majority of the subsidies (around 70%?) were indirect on EV's through buyer incentive credits. I wouldn't directly consider this a Tesla subsidy as any established auto manufacturer could claim it with an electric vehicle. The remaining subsidies were far less than this FCC subsidy is.

> Why do you look at the history of telecommunication companies rather than the history of SpaceX?

Because when a company that isn't a telecommunications company decides to be one, it's important to understand why and the best way to do so is to look at the history of the industry and the behavior of principle executives in the company deciding to pivot.

>They received subsidies for space travel and they delivered both cargo and humans to the space station.

This was a great success and they should absolutely be commended for this. There are situations where the public and SpaceX have received a mutual benefit. The GPS, ISS missions, and Lockheed defense contracts all saved taxpayers a ton of money.

> Now they receive subsidies on for telecommunication, given the two previous deliveries, what makes you think this third one will suddenly go the grift route?

Sweeping aside that this is the way it's always been for a market that should not require subsidies now that costs can actually be amortized (unlike previously for Iridium), there's already a track record of scandals around their Elon-associated affiliates looting public funds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarCity#Lawsuits_and_investi...
I never said that they were actively doing it for everybody, only that they can do it, and there is nothing in their privacy policy that prevents them from doing it. Your claim that I said otherwise is the lie. Your claim that sneak had been repeatedly told he was wrong is also a lie. You have repeatedly called me and sneak liars even though we have provided proof that you have simply not read. Will you apologize to both of us?

Note that Apple's location privacy is worse than every other platform with AGPS that I haye used, from Google, Amazon, Mozilla, and Microsoft. Each one correctly classifies this as a privacy setting and allows the user to opt out. Every single one also "anonymizes" their data collection for AGPS, but none of them are facile enough to say that there isn't a reduction in privacy for having it enabled.
80s VHS Tape Stickers
I never bought another game on my girlfriend's console after considering the fact that I have games in my Steam library that I bought 10+ years ago while the $60 game I buy on her console just lasts until the hardware breaks and they shut down the eShop.

That's such a bad deal I'm surprised that I ever made it.

Aside, I wonder how much the jumbo-sized ATX / tower PC case market has sold consoles by making people think they have to pick between a stupidly big server-sized PC tower vs. a cute little console that fits under the TV. I think the ATX/tower form-factor has played a nontrivial hand in preventing culture of having a small but powerful PC at the center of the home entertainment system.

The small-form factor trend is finally picking up steam (https://old.reddit.com/r/sffpc/) and it amazes me that this isn't yet the standard.
It seems like it, but it's a widespread issue across the SF/Bay Area right now, maybe wider. I've been having it for weeks and exploring it as well. I've even gone as far as ripping the certs off of the router to double check.
I think he means if everyone on AT&T experiencing the issue ran trace route to example.com some common hops would emerge, which would be a place to start investigating.
There's a clear distinction between "We are mandated by the court to maintain plaintext for all accounts for all time" and "We are mandated by the court to have the capability to maintain plaintext for one account when ordered so by subpoena-or-equivalent". This is the latter.

Arguments can be had about the relevance of that distinction, but relevant or not, the distinction does exist. Thanks for clarifying!

(I'm not participating in the "Is this distinction relevant?" discussion today, sorry, just trying to understand what was passed. See other threads for pro/con arguments.)

It can hit 100 these days in San Francisco itself in summer, but there is still this weird sanctimonious attitude about air conditioning. We asked some landscape designers about leaving room for a unit in the yard and more than once got a huffy "People don't use A/C in San Francisco" sort of answer. It's extra miserable if the windows have to stay shut due to wildfire smoke.

The CIA assists in many/most productions, which it simply wouldn't do if the overall depiction of the CIA was anything but positive.

I've just always found it interesting that an organization with such a terrible real-world reputation is routinely depicted in positive, whitewashed terms in American productions. And if that was happening in an 'enemy' state we'd have no problem seeing it for what it is.

And now I find that simply expressing this opinion on HN, even under a 10,000+ word criticism of the CIA, results in:

a) account [pmachinery] being banned from posting, and (even more sinister):

b) being presented with Google tracking/captcha on login

This has all been very illuminating at least.
A much more durable change is the shift in social norms towards intoxicated driving being unacceptable under any circumstances. Just 40 years ago the DUI threshold was .15 and even then the penalty was light. Today it's .08 with talk of lowering it, penalties have been ramped up multiple times, and nobody sees DUI enforcement as a technicality.

That's a pretty big opportunity for any firm that gets you home from the club at 3 AM.

"Up and out." Nothing to do with Titanic, but based on reading disaster articles on Wikipedia, my advice is, if a ship you are on takes on a noticeable list, get to the high side immediately. If the list worsens, get outside on the deck. Beyond a certain point, a list has a way of accelerating, and interior corridors become canyons and floors become walls, dooming everyone on the low side.

I suppose it's open core. Open Source is hard because you have to separate people from their money even though the code is "free." I'm not saying it's _the_ answer, but browserless.io isn't VC backed, and it certainly makes more money than most of the Patreon/sponsor models. I understand that it's not just a library, but a full-blown service, which makes it easier to market and sell.
