edit particularly as an attack on self driving cars would be an intentional targeting of civilians, and would likely be considered similar to using chemical weapons.
Looking through the benchmarks, there's a huge variation here. For some tests, FreeBSD was much faster, and for some it was much slower.

So, it depends on what you're doing. A lot of the tests where FreeBSD was much slower were media related; it makes me wonder if some CPU acceleration didn't get enabled; which could be FreeBSD (or Clang) missing a feature, or a benchmark issue or something else.
Lots of products can (and do) kill people. But drug side effects aside, it's hard to think of modern consumer products that, used and maintained properly, might just go and kill you some day and people being OK with that.
Buttigieg's argument supposes that the question is if the government dictates the outcome or the woman does. It's true that at the end of the day someone is going to decide if a pregnancy is carried to term or not but Buttigieg is sweeping so much under the rug in a rush to get to a question that he feels comfortable with. He's avoiding things like:

Is abortion a good thing or not?
Should the government (and by extension people who don't support it) be paying for it?
Should the government treat it as neutral - there are a raft of instances where we let people make decisions but we absolutely let government push a desired outcome. Don't smoke. Get exercise. Have kids. Get married. Don't be a bigot. Be patriotic.

The annoying thing to me is that virtually everyone agrees that there's a space short of government dictating that abortions don't happen and not caring at all if they happen. Whne B. Clinton said "Safe, Legal and Rare" the question that people should have asked is "Why rare?" and "How do you want to make it rare?"

> The brand is now owned by a company with a reputation for making cars that disintegrate and obliterate the occupants in crash tests.

In China. From what I've heard the products are also still completely on the same level because it's not like Geely just started selling their cars with the Volvo brand, but they keep the company doing what it's good at.

A counter-example is the German car brand Opel that was recently sold from GM to french PSA. Because the car manufacturer attached to the brand was already largely dismantled all Opel cars are now PSA models - which is rather well known by people who care and also affects the brand.
Got any links to those tweets?
To be fair, their "catastrophic" results is still a lower death rate than the United States. I feel like there are a lot of Americans who willingly accept that level of catastrophe in exchange for freedom.
A ton of movies were reissued on Blu-ray, re-scanned from film. DVD has garbage resolution and compression, while film is made to be projected on gigantic theater canvas. Surely you don't believe movie theaters were effectively displaying 720x480 or 720x576 at the size of canvas?

Consult this video, for example: https://youtu.be/sCv-dIFGcd0

Personally I find that even BD-rips made in SD resolution look better than DVD—if only for contrast enhancements made for reissues, and due to better compression formats.

Moreover, if the source was shot on 70mm film then people might still keep re-digitizing it in the 22nd century into fresh HD formats of the day.
Wow, this looks almost exactly like another project I developed. Create and design forms, get them filled out and signed on any device.

This is on point. When I first ordered something from Anker (a USB-C dongle IIRC), I was worried it'd be knock-off trash. Their brand hadn't been established long enough for me to evaluate their reputation. But the quality was high and now I trust it. I was happy to pick up one of their MacBook Pro USB-C hubs on Prime Day, and would happily buy more Anker supplies in the future.
I wrote a tiny bit about this in a twitter thread[0].

Context:

We do consulting exclusively with very large enterprise clients for data projects. We do however deliver turn-key custom solutions: from helping them figure out the problem when they haven't necessarily formulated it, sometimes bringing them to the state of the art in their field, write custom connectors for their data sources, build machine learning models, then create applications to enable their domain experts to use these models, and sometimes train models on new data.

We've worked in different sectors and industries: energy, employment, telecommunications, banking, retail, rail transportation, etc. Different types of problems: predictive maintenance, sound event detection, churn reduction, etc.

We meet the client where they are on the "data maturity" spectrum. We've helped organizations that were in the "what's this AI thing?" camp, and organizations that were in the "We have an internal machine learning team but we bid on a project and you've worked on a similar project. We don't have expertise over this, so we need you to help us when we win this bid", basically augmenting their internal teams.

>Basically in startups and small companies you convince 1 guy and you are mostly done, in big ones your offerings need to make sense to multiple teams and departments and require funding approvals.

If you go high enough, you mostly deal with "one guy and you're mostly done" because the purchasing/decision power they wield is far greater than the quote for your project. With some organizations, your mid six figure quote is a rounding error green-lit over a phone call.

However, you will have to push to include the teams and departments and onboard them to the project to ensure it succeeds. Many years ago, we practically only dealt with executives. Now we push to include their domain experts and stakeholders and bring them to the table.

This is good for trust. Repeat business is good, because you don't have to go through many things over as you know many of the people in the client organization when you work on the next project.

Also, it helps to deliver consistently.

Can you expound on this? The same parent company (Amer Sports) also owns Salomon/Atomic and several other well regarded brands. I wasn't aware that something had changed recently. Are you talking about the Anta Sports buyout? People use these brands for life-critical applications in the backcountry, so this is certainly concerning to hear.

It may be easier to find fault in an autonomous vehicle. Assuming it has a black box that records sensor data, you can replay the algorithm and see what went wrong.
Looks awesome to me. Will use it in future projects. Thanks for the great work.
The parent said "pad to 5 seconds" not "add 5 seconds". Thus everything would be 5 seconds (never 5.01). The difference between a hit and a miss would be exactly 0s. Note that I'm not advocating for or against this solution; rather, clarifying the conversation.

Facebook, as a data controller, is required to provide all information specified in GDPR Article 13 regardless of whether its legal basis for processing that data is consent or contract.

Article 13 is a long list of mandatory disclosures that data controllers have to provide to data subjects, informing them of the identity of the data controller, categories of data collected, data retention periods, etc.
I agree. The graph basically just shows that compounded interest makes a big difference long term, but it doesn't address the larger issues from everyone saving

First of all, the money for a salary needs to come from somewhere, and if people don't spend, then that money can't be used for paying other people's salary

Going out for dinner is also a good way to spend money in an environmentally responsible way. You have to eat any way, but in this fashion you contribute to someone else's salary, if the restaurant is well run there's less food waste, and if you don't enjoy cooking, you can spend the energy you would have used on cooking for other things

To me it would be interesting to see a graph, that showed happiness during a lifetime based not only on earnings, but how those earnings are spend

I think it would show that the best strategy for optimising happiness is to spend on social activities and "experiences" over wealth accumulation and material possessions
As a self-identified safe driver, no action I am capable of taking will put an unsafe driver in a self-driving car.

I'll even go so far to say that many unsafe drivers can't afford a self-driving car. They're often unsafe because their car is on balding tires, the brakes don't work, and the tail lights are busted.

The rest, well, they simply enjoy driving unsafely and thus have no reason to get into a self-driving car.
> People inherently trust humans over technology

I don't think that's generally true, or at least, the contrary notion is also true some times. I'm pretty sure that if someone asked me the product of 13 x 6, they would trust me more if I punched some numbers in to a calculator and gave them a result versus if I just did it in my head. I don't know, but I think the likelyhood of me mistyping numbers is embarrasingly high, and probably about as likely as a mistake in easy mental math.

It's also closely linked to your third point though. Liability with self-driving cars is difficult. When people talk about self-driving cars, they sort of just hand-wave away the fact that there will be accidents, so as to avoid this difficult problem. This does not instill confidence.
I switched to single spacing about 15 years ago when I was reading about typography for legal writing. Now I find two-spacing jarring. Also, when seeing two-spacing I somewhat irrationally get the feeling that the writer is old-fashioned or uninformed.

I understand the claim that two-spacing makes it easier to read because it separates sentences. But that is what the period does. Sentences are supposed to flow together.

Paragraphs are for separating.

And from the linked article:

“I’ve gotten a lot of flak for using a mono-spaced font (Courier New) in the study,” said Johnson.

Flak? I think using monospace font invalidates the conclusion of study.
It's a little long, but entertaining and interesting. They could have told the same story in 45 less minutes though.
I don't understand this thinking at all. As a white male I have always been in the minority in every software job I have ever worked. It has always been majority Indian with number 2 being white or Chinese depending on the company. But regardless even if it were true why does that even matter? We are on a forum of people that are mostly in a white collar industry where this does apply. Does this not apply to my Indian coworkers, my Asian coworkers, my black coworkers, my hispanic coworkers, my black and hispanic coworker, my black spouse? Are they too stupid to be able to follow follow FI/RE? I doubt it because they are all smarter than me. Apologies for my angry tone but I just hate this needlessly divisive talk.
Adverse events are not side effects. Side effects are included in adverse events. Other events, which are completely uncorrelated, are also included.
I feel the opposite. The one sensor that is guaranteed to have sufficient information to drive in all conditions is vision. That's obviously because humans drive exclusively with vision (and a single vantage point to boot - modulo mirrors).
The point wasn't that it isn't available, and indeed lots of people use it to read documents.

The point was about actually working on documents with a proper level of quality that aspires to good evaluations.
>"It's irrelevant for 90% of the users that use a computer to read email, browse facebook, twitter ..."

Facebook has a history of creating "shadow profiles" which are not exactly optional or transparent to the user.
> 2) "#define P" is clunky for several reasons: a) why do we have to care about POD vs non-POD?

Because the latter needs some equivalent to a copy constructor and destructor.

I had another reaction: there is no equivalent to a move constructor? That becomes painful when it's time to support a vector of vectors. (Don't want to do a deep copy of all elements when you resize the vector.)
Thanks for the suggestion.

Good financial advice has nothing to do with skin color.
While I don't disagree, I will note that most people don't think twice about giving up control to bus and taxi drivers.*

I think we trust humans to make a reasonable decision in a trolley-problem scenario (rightly or wrongly). Or rather, we trust the human we're in a vehicle with to value their own life, and thus our own, more than those outside of the vehicle in most scenarios.

I expect there is research to investigate this, though I wouldn't know where to begin looking.

Isn’t the future potential of Tesla in changing the ownership model for personal transportation?

The goal of self driving for a company like Tesla should be to replace Uber, the logistics industry and legacy automakers.
Is 5x safer a realistic goal? There are limits to how safe a car can be on a road full of human drivers, no matter what sensor suite it has and how fast its reactions are. A vehicle can only respond so quickly to control inputs. Making a computer that's five times as safe as a human might be a thousand times more difficult than making one twice as safe.
Both the movie and the original book are, IMO, great. The science in the book is possibly more consistent and is a 'better' story. I rewatch the movie about once every couple of years on average.

GDPR is a regulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union) ), which means that it applies directly. The ruling also refers to various sections of GDPR directly. There is no local legislative implementation of regulations; you are thinking of directives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union) ), of which GDPR is not one.
>Clicking on the names of these "brands" takes you to a search result with no additional information on who made these products.

This in particular bugs me quite a bit on Amazon. The link for the 'brand' appears as if you can click it and then see information about who you are buying from, but instead it just performs a search for the word and you often get zero useful results.

Instead I'd like to see basic information about the seller: what items do they sell, how many have they sold, what country are they based in, what is their average review, and so on.

> And, since the Federal government never stepped up to fund anything

I'm not sure where this idea came from, but I really wish people would start arguing about what Congress actually did rather than making it up, because Congress did step up to fund medical care. The CARES act appropriated $130B for health care providers, including hospitals. The followup appropriations bill allocates $69B for vaccines, testing, health care providers, and mental health.

One might argue that that's not enough money, but at least make the argument that they should have spent more rather than falsely claiming they spent nothing. Congress' direct payments to the healthcare providers in these two bills totaled $199B. Broken down by department, only two agencies are allocated more than $199B next year, the DOD ($695B) and the VA ($243B). And that's just looking at direct payments to medical providers, I didn't even mention the remaining $2.1T from the CARES act.
Jurisdictional overreach in support of private company's intellectual property seems pretty normal for USA.
Way back when all this started and the paper came out from the Imperial College, counseling social distancing and other non-pharmaceutical interventions, the idea was to make a priority of not overwhelming the hospitals. The thinking was that there was no reasonable way of stopping this, so the goal was to ensure as best as possible that no one died because they couldn't receive the supportive care they needed: meaning, because there was no ICU bed available for them.

The lockdown mechanism was meant to be periodic and short-lived. We lockdown if we see hospitals are going to be overrun. Then, we open back up again. We don't sacrifice our economy — and our sanity — by keeping things shutdown long-term. We swallow hard and realize that people are going to die. We protect the vulnerable by encouraging them to take extra precautions.

But what have we done instead? According to the article, we failed to take into account both the very real phenomenon of lockdown fatigue, and the phenomenon of simply kicking the can down the road: namely, avoiding more cases in the summer (via lockdowns) to then have them pile up in the winter.

So, here we are in L.A. and elsewhere. Now, despite the draconian lockdowns and damage to the economy and people's sanity and general well-being, the hospitals are overwhelmed. Ambulances are circling, looking for an empty bed, while their patient-passengers gasp for air.

The moral here is that politicians (and much of the populace) panicked and turned into obsessive-compulsives, convinced that if they only did that "one more thing," they could make everything right. And now we see how ridiculous that turned out to be.

It's what I heard from Molly Jong-Fast's description of her participation in phase 3 trials. I guess that the re-freezing might be unique to that, and not part of the regular administration procedure.
Yes, exactly, this is always the same example I give (in my case the 401 here in Ontario, Canada) -- blizzard in the middle of February, lane markings covered, highly unpredictable road surface, spontaneous temporary lanes, cars working at a crawl, snow plows coming through that you have to move over for, and can't pass, cars or trucks jack-knifed or half in the ditch. This kind of thing happens to varying degrees at least once a year, and I honestly don't think that these scenarios are actually properly in the imagination of the primarily-California-based engineers who work on self-driving.

For context, the greater Toronto region is 6 million people, and Great Lakes region from here over to Chicago is multiples of that. Winter is 4-6 months. This is not an insignificant edge case for a small population, and if self-driving can't handle it, no thanks from this driver.

I used an off-brand USB cable for my Garmin watch once, and it wouldn't power on for a week afterwords. I have no idea what strange software/hardware fault could explain that, but it spontaneously recovered after a week of being dead. I'm not willing to risk using off-brand cables since then.

https://wifimask.com - WifiMask VPN. The little money that comes in is spent on server costs basically. I spent 3 years building it, spending too much time on trying to build "perfect" Apple apps, instead of quickly going online with an MVP and validate first. Besides that there are a lot of VPN's out there and competing with the "big boys" with big marketing budgets is hard, especially when they can provide things like Netflix US streaming. I can keep it online forever this way, it's "bootstrapped", so no screaming investors who want to see money, but I stopped working on an Android and Windows app, I see it as a lost case and these days I'm focused on my webhosting: joostwebhost.nl and secret future projects. ;-) (And I'm available as a freelancer) I learned a lot from it though, more then I ever learned at an employer. I'm pretty sure I can apply the knowledge to a future successful project.
A lot of these expenses fulfill a necessary function for wealth-building: they are social signifiers. A lot of financial opportunities---particularly job offers---come through one's social network, and things like dining out are important elements of maintaining social connections.

Others, like fitness, clearly have the capacity to pay off financially in the form of reduced health expenses and increased capacity to work.

That doesn't mean it should be your sole reason for doing these things---enjoying a fine meal with friends, or having a good workout are gratifying in their own right, and if you're engaging in them just for the possible financial benefit, you're missing out on life. But they are not the financial drag they may appear to be at first glance, either.
