Some of it is due to how easily speed can be measured but you're over-simplifying what the studies actually show. Speed is what turns minor accidents into major ones, especially for people who aren't themselves in cars[1] so while it's true that for avoiding vehicular collisions the most important factor is going around the same speed as the rest of the vehicles there's still a significant difference in injury/death rates for anything which isn't a protected highway. As a parent, I think about this a lot when I see people going 45+ MPH (>80% death rate) in the 20mph zone in front of the closest playground where a kid was killed a while back by someone who couldn't stop in time. An aggravating factor here is that drivers now are often quite distracted by touchscreen controls and phones so the window for slowing down to avoid hitting someone is even less favorable.

At least in the US, this view seems misinformed. The US holds 24% of the worlds prison population and imprisons .7% of its population.

An unfortunate reality is that US law enforcement tends to be selective in its enforcement and prosecution based on geography and class. A college student may get a slap on the wrist(expulsion) for a drug offense while a street kid goes to jail.

I’d suggest anybody planning on making demands during a bug disclosure get some advice from a lawyer first. If you use the wrong phrasing, it’s very easy to end up committing extortion or blackmail.

I had some young college students report a very clever bug to me a few years ago, and they chose to take a rather aggressive approach when it came to discussing the bounty. We paid them a sum they were very happy with, but also gave them warning that if they took that same approach with the wrong company they could easily find themselves charged with a crime.
James May must be really happy now. This means the "rozzers" have solved all the existing crimes and are now focusing on petty things like this. James must have gotten his telly back too!

Having dealt with enterprise sales countless times, yes they do and I yes I do presume so.

They lie in many ways, the most innocent one is by demoing unrealistic perfect scenarios without any corner cases, promising integrations that do not exist ("it's in the roadmap!") etc.

Bought two soft pads, one was DOA. The other was dead after a few months. The hard ones basically don't exist as they cost too much to ship.

Some entreprising industrial designer needs to do a good flat-pack one reconfigurable, ideally with nesting during shipping for higher density, and with multiple levels of upgrades. It would probably make bank on crowdfunding. Maybe on the ultra-budget version, you just buy the shell and slide in a soft pad.
You generally don’t have dynamic memory allocation on such a system. All memory will either be statically allocated globals, or on the stack. Some systems even require stack allocation to be statically determined, which means no recursion.
18 U.S. Code § 16. Crime of violence defined

The term “crime of violence” means—

(a) an offense that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or prop­erty of another, or

(b) any other offense that is a felony and that, by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense.

They rioted and destroyed property.

Some people were probably scared. That sucks. It also sucks that stuff got busted. I'm sure some people will get arrested and charged with things. But these are things solved with money.

No one was injured. My point is that saying it was "violent" implies that there were people hurt. I was reading with horror to see how many had died. That was why it stuck out to me when there were not even injuries.

It is as simple as that. Using a word that does not imply something that didn't happen -- it is just good writing, it's not pushing an agenda. Replace "violence" with "riots" and it has a much more generic implication. Simple.

The bug bounty program and the salary of the security team likely come out of different budgets.

People who break the law like to say this but I've never lived anywhere where, if that were true, the city wasn't inexplicably leaving tons of money on the table. Usually it's a token effort at addressing safety issues caused by poor road design and an excuse officers like to use to stop someone when they want to search their car.

EDIT: as a thought experiment, imagine that we went full cyberpunk hell-future and they started letting private equity companies put up cameras anywhere some MBA thought their cut of the ticket revenue would pay for the camera.

Sorry, I didn't mean to go at you. It's just one of my buttons when people cherry pick something bad about Y and try to use that establish that X is therefore somehow equal or not worse. There are some people out there who even like to believe all humans are equal. As if they live in some alternate reality. I'm not implying anything about you by the way, just venting.

Someone else in the comments here had the gall to say there are bad physics papers therefore gender studies is no less legitimate. Which is totally nonsensical as an argument.

> they're interested in carving at the joints between phenomena that are taken for granted as conjoined

On the surface I have no issue with that. I just think the field of gender studies in general is so toxic and full of garbage that anyone doing actual serious work in that field would do well to distance themselves from it.
Yes, this is indeed the case in the US, which is why I specified "generally". For example, in Canada crimes against property are not considered violent crimes (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/85-002-x/2010002/definit...), neither are they in the UK, nor in France or Australia. The US is in the minority here.
Anyone know the answer? If we can encase an rna sequence in a lipid envelope and get it into cells, why haven’t viruses ever evolved something like this? It seems like an easy run around the defenses of the cell?
this is a million dollar question probably nobel prize winning.

keep in mind this is not proven but is a promising angle, CRSPR as made popular is a hijacked mechanism used to edit DNA sequences. normally this mechanism is used in prokaryotic organisms as an immune system. there are tags in the prokaryotes DNA that are used to match with foriegn DNA and signal it for destruction.

this type of arrangement MAY, possibly exist in eukaryotes as well and may be the basis of self/nonself recognition.

Strong disagree with what you define as the "traditional, long-established" meaning.

It is a departure from colloquial use to describe property damage as violent and it is counterintuitive to describe a "violent protest in which no one was hurt."

It isn't so much that people are incapable of doing anything but mimicking what already exists, as most people only notice and appreciate things that conform to what they already know.

I don't really have a dog in this fight.

I have never understood violence to mean property damage, rather than physical harm to someone. It may be that the dictionaries define it differently, but that is certainly not the colloquial usage.

> When a few teammates and I interview folks ... simply "good energy". The opposite of it would be "looks tired".

At our office, we have the more normal term of "easy to communicate" and "good culture fit" and so on.

"Culture fit" seems like a slightly more convenient term for applying ingrained racist and sexist biases, but I guess saying any applicants who don't match your racial or socioeconomic background seem "tired" works well too!

I think "looks tired" is also even more convenient for ageism than the usual "that old person didn't seem like a good culture fit".

I know this is a really negative interpretation of what you're saying, but in my experience those sorts of things really are used to filter out people who aren't like you. People of different races, people who have young kids and are thus naturally tired, people who have lazy eyes, people with minor speech impediments. All of those people coincidentally have higher rates of being bad culture fits and looking tired.

I wonder if pg would think those people are earnest or not.
>>it would hurt the CentOS brand

That ship has sailed. Even if what you say is true, the public reaction this is change has tarnished all the Brands, CentOS, RHEL, RedHat, and IBM...

It will be a very long time to rebuild the trust, and honestly if RedHat stays the course and refuses to support CentOS 8 for the full life cycle I think CentOS will usage (and RHEL usage) will drop off a cliff

I have already seen several software vendors with RHEL only official support announcing they are working on debian and ubuntu certification, and since it seems CentOS Stream at the most will only be supports for a 5 year life cycle down from 10, I am not sure why I would not move to debian at this point. debian is just as stable, the one thing CentOS had over it was the 10 year support, that is gone now

Speed kills. It’s fairly easy to enforce as well.
If it were just the features (time of flight and image recognition), probably not 13k. I’m not an expert in police gear, but there are likely performance standards that the manufacturer has to prove so that the readings can stand up in court. That plus the durability required and range of operating conditions it has to perform in, and the fact that it’s a fault niche device will increase the cost. 13k still might be too high, but I wonder if an autoblog knows what a police department actually pays for it.

I once saw speed cameras as "un-sporting" until travelling elsewhere in the world where they are commonplace.

In those countries, it seems like everyone just drives the speed limit.

If the point of speed enforcement is to, you know, ensure that everyone is going the speed limit or slower, they're awesome. Norway's system of timed speed cameras are particularly wonderful -- they simply photograph a car and then photograph it again many kilometers later. If you get there too soon, then at some point, you must have been speeding.

These systems are safer for police and drivers as there are no traffic stops for speeding. Yes, the bill goes to the car owner, but if you're loaning your car out to someone who speeds, at least some of the culpability falls on you.

Can speed cameras be used as a revenue source? Yes. It is reasonable to place requirements on the determination of speed-limits and camera-locations to prevent abuse. Beyond that, if you don't want to get a fine, don't speed.

> By what mechanism does it do that?

People choose the best option - so if I have a job doing hard manual labour for $70/hr or desk job that pays $80/hr I'll go do the desk work because it is easier and better paid.

But someone needs to do the manual labour, so if literally nobody takes the job on then whoever wants the work done is forced to raise wages or do without.

In a practical way, things like the Apple supply chain increase demand for workers, so the equilibrium wage has no choice but to tend upwards. There are more jobs but the same number of people - so if a business wants its job done it has to pay more.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol's_cost_disease where improvements from high-productivity workers translate into increased wages in other unrelated segments. People get paid more without even necessarily doing anything differently!

Then all that adds up to it being difficult to oppress the human rights of wealthy people. They have the resources to fight back.

It is likely a more powerful LIDAR, a laser with a very narrow beam width (but weak enough to not affect eyesight). Combine this with retroreflective paint on the license/number plate to get both speed and the number.

Physical harm? Since when has violence been a body-centric term? Looking at the etymology doesn’t help your case either:

> late 13c., "physical force used to inflict injury or damage," from Anglo-French and Old French violence (13c.), from Latin violentia "vehemence, impetuosity," from violentus "vehement, forcible," probably related to violare (see violation). Weakened sense of "improper treatment" is attested from 1590s.
Half of that is the manor manufacturer, and the other half is the FDA. These huge companies that can afford lots of money intentionally get the FDA to set a high bar with lots of expensive testing in the regulations. This creates a HUGE barrier to entry. Right now I'm working with a pathology lab who are buying a pathology slide scanner. This is basically a slide handling robot with a high end camera hooked to a PC with an image viewer. The combined system costs over $300,000 from companies like Leica and Philips. The software is incredibly basic, it's basically Thumbs Plus with Irfanview and that's $100,000 alone, aside from the scanner. But they charge that because it's incredibly expensive for a startup to come in and challenge their pricing.
I hope this doesn't get buried, because there's something that I feel like I'm a bit of a unicorn about.

> The problem then with that is everyone who is working on those services is usually trying to get off of them. After all, no one wants to work on something that their boss doesn’t care about.

> Yes, your CI/CD system is absolutely critical, but it’s easy for executives to not think about. This leads to a failure mode where you have a lost garden of internal tools.

I love maintaining stuff. I don't care that my boss doesn't care about something. I care about... what I care about :)

I don't mind the "boring" tasks like keeping library versions up to date, being on the latest runtime version, and using a recent version of the framework we've adopted (we're currently running on an ancient version of it). I like doing that stuff. I like keeping things tidy. If things are up to date, I can move on to making our CI better, or improving our test coverage, or really anything that improves the whole team's productivity. There's always something to update or polish or improve.

My dilemma is that as much as I'm willing to do all that stuff, I'm essentially not allowed to. My lead and their boss say my skills are too valuable to be spent on that, so instead I must do things like lead the new team they're forming to build a new service... which I'm not interested in at all. I'm not keen on the whole lead thing. Glad to be a follower. I'm also not thrilled about building new stuff. I like to say I'm more like a car mechanic rather than an engineer: I like tweaking and tuning and fixing existing stuff, not creating new stuff.

Does anyone else feel like this? I've tried bringing it up in chats with coworkers and everyone looks at me like I have two heads.

Everyone travels with a personal tracking device, except for those who choose to opt out of modern society, what you present as a future threat can be easily done today with little effort by law enforcement.

It's trivial to determine the speed a person travels down a highway from GSM timing advance data. In most countries on Earth this metadata is mandated to be held for a certain amount of time by service providers.

Like all laws, it's selective, and there's only so many prosecutors, the moment they even try to charge the first person is when that government mandated tracking device in your pocket starts losing its value.
The workers whose labour generated the value the looms were paid for with. To some extent, also the workers that put together the looms while only being paid a fraction of the value they created.

So if I understand you correctly, the self-recognition system is something built-in and doesn't change in response to foreign antigens? Or in other words, it's only the recognition of foreign molecules that will change, but this shouldn't affect the production (or culling) of T-cells that are super-sensitive to host's own self-antigens?
