You are artificially adding in a detail that the student is only driving in limited courses to imply there might be unfamiliar conditions to a self driving car where we shouldn't trust its performance.

That is a better point, but also just a different point from the one originally made.
> You don't make landlordism more expensive. You make it more difficult and less profitable.

How is that any different? If it's more difficult then it inherently consumes more time and/or money - given that money is (arguably) how we measure the value of labour I don't see any way of escaping this.

Apple NVMe SSDs have worked fine for years in mainline. This is a myth that won't die.

The Linux driver required two new quirks (different queue entry size, and an issue with using multiple queues IIRC). That's it. That's all it was.

On the M1, NVMe is not PCIe but rather a platform device, which requires abstracting out the bus from the driver (not hard); Arnd already has a prototype implementation of this and I'm going to work on it next.

"Ongecontroleerde en ongeautoriseerde toegang vanuit China heeft na 28 oktober 2009 daadwerkelijk plaatsgevonden"

which translates to

"Uncontrolled and unauthorized access from China actually took place after October 28, 2009"

> Wouldn't the ones running the network need to know which numbers were under surveillance to provide the intelligence agency access?

No. That data should only be on a server within the KPN network. Huawei employees had an office in a KPN building. There is no need for that data to ever leave that network.

> I'd naively expect that the decreased profitability of an asset would decrease its market value

It actually does (kind of), the problem is that the gap between "not profitable" and "affordable" is a chasm. Someone who is currently paying $350/week rent with minimal savings behind them (which statistically is an optimistic assumption) is not going to be able to find a 10% (or maybe higher) deposit on a $500,000+ property.

The other issue is that right now we're experiencing massive inflation of house prices. Median house value in NZ increased 24% in March - that means you'd need to save around $2000/week just to not lose ground. It's madness, I'm glad I bought at what I thought was the top of the market in March 2000.
> I live next door to a city firehouse, their “new” pumper is an 8 year old, $800k (new) truck that saw 70-80 calls a month. It’s new owner doubled the mileage in 90 days.

What does this mean to imply? They bought an old truck, gently used, and then used it a lot more...

Is the new mileage because they need to use it? Is that bad? Is 800k a lot for a fire truck?
Yeah, pretty sure they were talking about longer distance runs. Mile/1500m events are typically run with spikes... this stuff looks cool, but pretty sure they'd still lose out to similarly lightweight spikes.
> A human and Autopilot working together is safer than just a human driving

This is not my understanding from colleagues who studied the human factors of what is now called level 2/3 automation many years ago. Partial automation fell into an "uncanny valley" in which the autopilot was good enough most of the time that it lulled most human participants into a false sense of security and caused more (often simulated) accidents than a human driving alone.

Since then I've seen some evidence [1] that with enough experience using an L2 system, operators can increase situational awareness. But overall I wouldn't be surprised if humans with level 2+/3 systems end up causing more fatalities than human operators would alone. That's why I'm relieved to see automakers committing [2] to skipping level 3 entirely.

No, intent matters. Intending to kill someone with a car is punished far more severely than killing someone because you were speeding and lost control.
It seriously smells like virtue signaling extraordinaire, worse still when corporations do it, because we know it's often for marketing purposes. Did H&M and Nike really care about Xinjiang cotton before people in social media started making a stink about it?

A lot of this is reminiscent of the hyperbole over AMP.
Yes, you are correct. I'm good friends with my boss, and he has known for a while that I work on PriceTable on evenings and weekends, and is completely okay with it, and has even offered to help. So in that sense I feel very fortunate!

Is there no way to get GPS location, without sending it to Google? As I understand, GPS positioning does not require the phone to send any data?

No we do not maim more kids more badly.

We do exactly what you said, AND we continue to improve product safety so that we minimize the harm in all fronts.

Read it again. Everything you say about parents is valid, education done, the whole nine.

The difference is you want to make it all about the parents, despite the fact that this kind of thing could, and does happen to even the best parents.

Because NOBODY is perfect there is a responsibility to design with that in mind, and in this case with this product, this company, that did not happen and it should have, same as the parents should have...

We have standards for all this because when we subtract either error here we end up with a far better outcome.

And that is why there willbe far fewer events overall, and for those that do happen, far less harm.

This is no contest, unless you somehow believe it makes more sense for people making products to not give a fuck about what happens to the people who use them.

We did that already and it was terrible. That movie already played out and the world moved on.

Back in the 20's it worked much more like you advocate here. The verdict was clear and does not favor the position you have advocated for here.
I'm sorry you took offense. My intention was not to slight you, how can you have time to study everything in the world?

W.r.t. to the proofs in the paper, they happen within certain assumptions, assumptions that do not hold when the attack is as I described because the majority will be byzantine!

The key idea in the argument is not computer science but economics. If you can earn more we have to assume you will do that (charitable behavior exists but is not a good thing to rely on for security) the issue is that PoS is vulnerable to the tragedy of the commons in a similar way to democracy (the amount of influence each person has is small but time investment of being a rational voter big, hence it is rational to be ignorant - in PoS setting the idea is that you defecting is unlikely to change things so the bribe does not need to be big). Once you've obtained a majority you can censor the minority. How much you can do with your soft fork depends on the chain in question but in general the very fact that you can stop byzantine behavior works against you when the majority is malicious.

The reason we cannot do the same in proof of work is because of how expensive the bribes are.

Anti-sybil based in racing is hard to censor but when you start voting you can do bullying.

Regarding formal verification, you can formally verify the algorithm, implement it safely and still it will not work in the real world due to the game theory considerations. However bittorrent worked and that was largely charity. Similarily the data availability problem has not been a problem (e.g. all bitcoin blockchain is accessible even though there is no monetary incentive to make the archive accessible). While there is no way to exploit known vulnerabilities they may as well not exist.

From our exchange you have been appealing to authority but I suggest working through the math and looking at tragedy of the commons. Since you are intimately familiar with how proof of stake works you will be able to convince yourself one way or the other.
> First, I don't know what it means to "shadow" the possessive.

“Adopt a plural form identical in form to the possessive so as to create avoidable ambiguity between the two.”

(Incidentally, that’s why the Times shouldn’t do it either, even if context will usually disambiguate it.)

> And since a possessive necessarily precedes another noun

Not necessarily a simple noun, though, it could be a noun
phrase. In practice, this will usually be disambiguated by context still, but merging the possessive and plural means that there will be more situations where you have to process more context to disambiguate meaning, which distracts from whatever your purpose was in reading the material in the first place.

Reducing the inherent redundancy in natural language reduces quality and clarity of communication.
Have you ever driven a Tesla with full self driving?

If you engage self driving the car pops up with a giant alert to keep your hands on the wheel and the car doesn’t allow you to use full self driving unless you wiggle the steering wheel every few minutes. There is no mystery as to what is safe.

The driver... wasn’t in the seat. Yes I would say that’s driver error.

Or maybe... lack of driver error.

> No one beyond chip nerds like myself ever really hear or care about node stepping...

Sadly not the case. There are two important, and probably more important constituancies.

First is analysts, market and financial analysts. I have spoken with some really good ones, some of whom came from their respective industries and some of whom didn't but nonetheless really knew their stuff. And I've known some who never really understood but grasped at things that looked scientifish and ran with it. Sadly this latter group outnumber the former group. Analysists cause stock prices to go up and down and often set the consensus that is adopted in the press.

And the second constituency is, at the end of the day, the one that matters: consumers: the people who spend money on the product. And most of them get their info from the consensus opinion as they can't possibly have expertise on everything you need to know (nobody can).

It's stupid that so much rides on this arcane technical question but in this case Intel is reaping the whirlwind it sowed: they put part of their highly technical product line right in front of the consumer in ads and stickers on the products. Now the consensus on the street, fair or not, is that they are behind the times.
> when left to its own devices the car drove at high speed into a tree.

Was it "left to its own devices" though?

You can't put the car in drive from the back seat.

Autosteer is limited to 5MPH over the speed limit unless you are on a divided highway.

The car seems to have accelerated faster than it normally accelerates under autopilot.

In “Culture’s Consequences”, Hofstede mentions five key aspects of culture based on extensive research.

1. Individualism (IDV)

2. Masculinity (MAS)

3. Power Distance (PDI)

4. Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI)

5. Long-Term Orientation (LTO)

Furthermore, there is a distinction made between values and practices. Practices are comprised of symbols, heroes, and rituals. Whereas values refer to the meaning to people of their practices. People can thus have the same practices (watching same TV shows, dressing similarly, leisure activities) while have drastically different values. Values and practices together define key aspects of the organization.

Values are more important as you move towards national identities whereas practices tend to dominate at the organizational level. Furthermore, values tend to be instilled earlier in life through family and community while practices are learned later in life, for instance, once one enters the workforce itself.

Some factors of practice include professionalism, distance from management, trust in colleagues, orderliness, hostility, and integration. Likewise, some factors in values include personal need for achievement, need for supportive environment, machismo, workaholism, alienation, and authoritarianism.

The main thesis of this comment is that if one understands the factors that go into culture, one can be better equipped to actually probe the organization thoughtfully and develop their own questions in order to do so.

> you can just tweak the clients of a fork to require negligible work or the next block and convince everyone that the most-work chain is a hostile takeover

If I have the power to tweak any/all peers of any p2p system arbitrarily, then I already have supreme authority over what that system does. So your hypothetical is vacuous and uninformative. Wake me up when you've found a way to reliably mine two conflicting Bitcoin blocks using the same amount of PoW guesses.

> This is the same attack model that leads there being a public debate about “Segwit coin VS BCash”. It’s also what happened with the 2013 fork[0].

Wanna know something truly mind-blowing? You can fork Bitcoin at any time! And yet, none of the forked pretenders have come close to replacing the original Bitcoin. The biggest pretender by marketcap has a measly _2.21%_ of Bitcoin's hashpower [0], despite having the same PoW algorithm.

> The system ends up needing politics and power games just like the current financial system

Per the above, PoW has so far done a great job indicating which system is the real Bitcoin, and which are the pretenders. Wake me up when one of them overtakes the original.

> The technology is a distraction to fool intelligent engineers into thinking this system is different. It isn’t.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

I think the thing that makes it so truly rare, even in history is that very few people can resist getting even some recognition for their work. At the very least, most authors have a handful of literary minded friends they discuss their ideas and the machanical aspects of their writing with.

It's just incredibly hard for most people to never breathe a word of something that eats up so much of their mind like writing a book does. Especially when that work begins to recieve acclaim.

Writing has this in common with crime actually. A stunning number of people are made for a crime because they talk about it. Even to the point of many eventual exhiberstions coming when a perpetrator discusses the crime years later, believing themselves out of the woods.

Take something as simple as "I want to display a webpage that prints out some rows from a database".

Well now you're deep into Terraform or CloudFormation, setting up API Gateway, building an authorizer, coming up with an API Schema, wiring up everything with IAM, setting up Route 53 and Certificate Manager, building CloudWatch Dashboards, etc etc. I hope you got all the permissions right because there are now 25 different places someone can maliciously gain access to your AWS account. And in order to change anything you should be prepared to update your IaaC schema once every couple months or it will all stop working.

Back in days past you'd rent a hosted server or shell account (It was hideous, but bear with me), write 15 lines of PHP, connect to the included database, and you're done. It wasn't "web scale" but the time to reach a MVP was probably 1/100th that of the current era of gross complexity. And any one who built software in that time period had a very clear runway to bring it in house and run on bare-metal. No such thing exists in today's era of subscription-model infrastructure.
One of the things that has never failed to amaze me is why are police and fire departments locally run in the US vs. run by the state with federal checks and balances.

There are a few ways to improve the feedback loop, like SAM, Stackery, and Serverless Framework. That said, containers on Lambda (or GCP Cloud Run) are where it’s at. Just code your code, run local unit tests, and push the container up. The most important thing is to clearly define a mock request from your invocation source as your first step of the project. There is a vast difference between SQS, ALB and API Gateway events that need to be accounted for, and trip up people on deployment. I usually have those in my tests folder for every event the code will handle, and build from there.

‘aws lambda invoke -e myevent.JSON’ goes a long ways, because you get the full response object back.

Ask HN: Do I need a DR plan in AWS?
I work for a very large organization and we have many systems that live in a single region in AWS, us-east-1. While we use multi-AZ RDS instances and EC2 instances across multiple AZ's we don't have regular backups to another AWS region. If us-east-1 was obliterated, we would lose a significant number of mission-critical systems. My questions:

1. Is it safe to rely on AWS for DR across multiple AZs or must we plan for a whole region being obliterated?
2. Do you recommend any tools or practices that we can adopt to help us adopt a good-enough DR strategy? It would be acceptable if getting back online business took a week or a few.

As the original article[0] states, the report explicitly says that public knowledge of the report would threaten the existance of KPN due to the massive loss of trust in the company.

The report contains the sentence

"Ongecontroleerde en ongeautoriseerde toegang vanuit China heeft na 28 oktober 2009 daadwerkelijk plaatsgevonden"

which translates to

"Uncontrolled and unauthorized access from China actually took place after October 28, 2009"

KPN has zero incentive to admit to anything and every incentive to deny everything. I'd take such a PR statement with a grain of salt.
