At 40-60k deaths per year in the U.S. alone, clearly the CEOs of car companies have a bigger weight on their shoulders.
I don't do any systems programming, I only have a vague idea of the landscape of these languages and I have a question.

What motivates people to invest the time and effort to learn them and keep developing in them? There is a class of languages (Nim, Zig, D) for which I naively think "Well, they might have some good ideas but ultimately Rust is what will replace C and C++ over time". How do the creators stay motivated to put so much effort into building and maintaining these languages? Don't these languages feel like dead ends on the tech development tree or second-class at best in the sense that they will likely never get mass adoption?

What am I missing?
It seems like Tesla should at least have a safety feature that checks if someone is in the drivers seat. Cars already do this for warnings about seatbelts and enabling the air bags. Maybe the sensor is already even there.
Lithium-ion fires are hard to extinguish, especially with thermal runaways. There are flame retardant products that can extinguish lithium-ion fires, Class D extinguishers can be used.

I would guess the fire crews that responded were not equipped with this type of extinguisher.
How fast would they need to be going for this to be fatal? I could definitely see autopilot missing this turn and crashing into the tree, and it’s possible they were trapped inside rather than killed on impact.
Of course, but the goal is not to win, the goal is to make it so it take years before they get fined. In the meantime, they will have made enough money and it will be factored into the cost of business, then they will come up with a new tracking scheme. Rinse and repeat.
I’m guessing you’re probably infinitely less critical of the standard ‘respected’ mainstream media.

‘Project Veritas Bad’ is a becoming an increasingly myopic heuristic. Probably something better would be to think that PV is complicated, and institutions have the potential to be seriously predatory and anti-social in the broadest sense.
I guess those go in the "None" bucket, so I think they are counted.

If we kill FLoC, my hope would be that Google still finds it untenable to backpedal on removing third party cookies... or that public awareness about Google's antiprivacy stance kills Chrome if they do backpedal.

It's simple: We force Google to stop tracking us, or we stop using Google products.

Solitary confinement in prisons is known to be detrimental to mental health so that seems most likely to be false.

There are even English haiku that are one or two lines long.

Is it our nature to make rules, and to break them, doing whatever we want?

> “I do think haiku helps me as a science communicator,” Kraal says, “because it causes you to reflect carefully on the meaning of each word and how ideas link together.” -Erin R. Kraal

Up until about ten minutes ago I adhered to the 5/7/5 structure of haiku. Alan Watts’ frog-plop haiku snapped me out of my rigidity.

When I was teaching science to young adults I incorporated observational drawing to help students practice seeing with less judgement. Poetry also helps me slow down and consider, observe, and feel how the subject matter is connected to other things.
They do, I mentioned in another comment I once unhooked my belt to take my jacket off while in auto pilot. It started beeping horribly, disabled autopilot and started slowing down. It then wouldn't even let me re-enable it until after stopping and putting it into park.

I've heard it does the same with the seat sensor.
We should rethink this as figuring out how to make self-crashing cars less efficient to a point above a ROC curve.
If no one was ever in the driver's seat, how did the car begin moving at all?
Thanks! I definitely learned a thing or two from your comment.
I'm not @kyriee but I agree with them.

There's no such thing as "customer-led". That's not a common term, or when it's used it's used so generically as to mean pretty much everything.

"Product led" describes specifically what a "product manager" is hired to do -- make trade-offs primarily between engineering and sales (as well as take into consideration management priorities and general user satisfaction, but user satisfaction is only one priority out of many -- and often not the top one, either).

And if "sales-led" or "engineering-led" resulted in business success then product managers wouldn't exist, because they wouldn't be needed. But sales and engineering often have very conflicting priorities, and would result in drastically different products if left to their own devices.

Hence, product-led.

Not to completely deny your point, but we should be much more careful: in my opinion, a big part of mental illness stigma comes from the inability of society to see a culprit, and instead let the individual become the culprit. We are very biased to rationalize stuff. If we don't see an abusive family, economic problems, obvious disabilities, etc, we tend to rationalize something else and not admit that maybe there are psychological barriers and obstacles that are disabling a person. Being in social isolation is not easier than working hard. It's a complicated problem.

I personally believe the best attitude is to accept that if someone can't get out of a certain situation by themselves, they need help. No additional judgement required. Now, who you want to help or whether you want to help someone is your choice, as we often already have enough trouble in our own lives to also go helping others. That's ok. But anything else is trying to rationalize who needs more help, when we are always lacking context and perspective.

> Because of SESTA/FOSTA, Section 230 no longer provides immunity for websites or website infrastructure from civil or criminal liability with regards to knowingly hosting trafficking-related content

§230 explicitly never limited criminal liability, and arguably didn’t limit civil liability for knowingly distributing unlawful content (publisher liability, which it expressly prevents, applies without knowledge; distributor liability, which some courts have found it implicitly prevents as well [IIRC, only the 11th Circuit had ruled on this, at the federal appellate level] applies to knowing distribution).

And FOSTA-SESTA adds no-knowledge civil liability for owning, managing, or operating an information system with “reckless disregard of the fact that such conduct contributed to sex trafficking”.
Have specific historic value? Probably very few. But if they were replaced by generic high rises it would eliminate that Parisian feeling. They could let more people live in Venice by fixing the sinking and filling the canals, but that doesn't seem worth it.
You said it's a major explanation of the phenomena, based on your anecdotal experience.
Very cool! Didn't know there was a classical mechanics counterpart to SICM. Could inspire some new problems for the website.

I feel like there was a missed opportunity to put the Sad Mac icon on the screen: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Sad_Mac
I disagree with the author there to but for very different reasons than you. In the 90s we already had OS/2 (who's DOS emulation was so sophisticated that it could run Windows 3.1). Not to mention a whole boat load of better home computers than IBM-clones, such as Acorn Archimedes, Apple Mac, Atari ST, Amigas (funny how they all begin with 'A'). By the late 90s there was BeOS too. Windows 9x always felt like the shittiest desktop offering to pretty much anyone who'd used pretty much any other computer that wasn't an IBM-clone.

I loved the ST and Amiga too but in fairness Windows 95 had to be able to run on any random PC whereas the superior systems tightly controlled the hardware. That’s why it needed the DOS underlay, almost like a HAL.
If Chrome wants to be the only browser with third-party cookies, they're welcome to, I suppose. Breaking down Chrome's dominance has to start somewhere, and having a straightforward, easily verifiable reputation as the single least private browser on the market is a decent start. I already know what the headlines from most sites will look like if Chrome decides to reverse course.

If only Firefox was removing cookies, that would be a problem, because Chrome could just ignore them. But with Safari on board as well, and with the entire iOS market at stake for sites that try to ignore the policy...

If Chrome doesn't remove third-party cookies, they will be the only browser anywhere not to do so. Chrome's original stance might have been conditional on finding a replacement, but I'm not sure they still have a choice at this point. I don't think Google is going to hand that selling point to Apple, and you're seeing yourself in these comments that a lot of the people following this issue didn't accept Chrome's original promise as conditional.

And maybe Chrome is confident enough in their market position that they're willing to take that hit and they think it won't matter. Maybe they're even right. From my perspective, breaking Chrome's dominance on the web is a necessary thing that needs to happen eventually for the health of the web, so every time that Chrome makes their browser worse in a highly public way, that's a win.

Remember that Firefox and Safari are already blocking the majority of third-party cookies online, and those browsers still work today, the web hasn't broken for them. So every year that Chrome spends delaying that deprecation is another year where people like me can point out that they're lagging behind literally the entire market on privacy.
I'm seeing a "404 Not Found" when I visit (after logging into NextJournal).
This article doesn't say anything substantive, just points out that Autopilot is technically a group of different safety features and says that Ars couldn't find any "industry experts" to opine that Tesla's findings are true. Very poor non-technical purely qualitative writing here
Ahhh okay thanks thought it had to be done by using cf as a cdn or something.
Thermal runaway in Lithium-ion battery packs is one reason that I don't ever want an EV parked inside my garage. These fires are hard to put out.
From the chosen answer:

> Of course everyone is free to comply with these corporate demands, but the Lego Group has no authority over the English language to regulate it in this way. So if you want to feel guilty about using “Legos”, understand that the only thing you are guilty of is not obeying the demands of a Danish corporation, not for violating the rules of English grammar.

Paternoster Lift
I grew up with plenty of very good Soviet books and without Levi jeans.

The jeans were a status symbol, almost impossible to find and the price was 1-2-3 salaries of an engineer, teacher or doctor.

Now that I have more access to jeans but having troubles finding good books for my kids, I would chose the books over the jeans. But I wouldn't go back to USSR.
its pretty wild that you start out trying to automate driving but are on a route that requires you to automate warning a human who is giving too much trust to your automation.

I agree. People here will cite the aviation term not refering to autonomous flying, but if you ask a regular person in the street, they think that Tesla's are self-driving. This is a dangerous belief that is held by a lot of people and needs to change. However, Tesla knows this adds an intriguing cachet to the brand, so they seem reluctant to downplay it.

Keywords here are “same amount”.

You are right - there is no reason to prefer equity over cash. Cash is better, if the company could afford it. But many employers cannot afford it now, and they offer equity instead.
Did you see that video? It's clearly a propaganda video with various obvious lies, biases and cherry-picking. It contains false statements like "Elon musk is not an engineer, he is a scam artist". It's very clearly produced by oil industry or someone who benefits from delaying electric cars. It's professionally made to have an emotional effect. It's very similar in style to all those anti-vax propaganda videos.
By database I mean the actual database servers. Like postgresql or the actual thing storing data to disk, those things are usually implemented in C/C++.

By infrastructure services I mean things as DNS servers, network queues, etc.
Rhetorical thought question: How long could Chrome survive as the only browser which refuses to stop tracking users? The idea that Chrome was the fastest or best browser has fallen pretty far out and behind those which block tracking scripts and ad content, and two alternatives to Google straight up pay users to use them, where's the carrot for using Chrome?
Some people are quoting the recent Tesla safety report [1] as evidence that Autopilot is on average much safer than a human driver. This is a classic case of the Simpson's Paradox [2].

On the first look it seems that Autopilot is 4x safer than driving without any safety features (1 accident every 4.19 million miles vs 0.978 million miles). However, the data used to compute the stats is different in two important ways:

1. Autopilot cannot be always activated. This means that is some particularly difficult situations, the driver needs to drive himself. These are more dangerous situations in general.

2. If a driver disengages Autopilot to avoid an accident and engages it again straight away on a 10 miles drive, then you will have 9.99 miles driven on Autopilot without accident. The statistic misses the cases where the human driver intervened to avoid an accident.

This means that we are comparing the same measure (accidents) on different datasets and therefore in different conditions. This is dangerous, because it may lead us to wrong and often opposite conclusions (see Simpson's Paradox [2]).

I'm not saying that Autopilot isn't safer than a human driver, given that the driver is at the steering wheel and alert, but that this data doesn't lead to that conclusion. If the driver is not sitting at the driver seat, then it is certainly much more dangerous.

TFA doesn't agree:

> The company’s cars only check that attention with a sensor that measures torque in the steering wheel, though, leaving room for misuse

So they could have held the steering wheel from the passanger seat.

> Tesla CEO Elon Musk has rejected calls from Tesla engineers to add better safety monitoring when a vehicle is in Autopilot, such as eye-tracking cameras or additional sensors on the steering wheel, saying the tech is “ineffective.”

In my country there was recently an event where a Tesla on Autopilot crashed out with the driver fast asleep behind the wheel. I'd say regulation to make it mandatory to install fool proof safety tech ensuring the driver is actively observing the traffic is needed, and fast. And this tech is trivial compared to even semi-autonomous driving, no matter what Musk is claiming.
U-Haul Experiencing Outage
Yep, and then the temptation to fix it is to roll your own homebrew auth over websockets... which is super risky.
Is it possible to tell how many of those hit the front page? I think the majority of those 300 stories in 2020 did not hit the front page. I'm curious how many there were in years prior as well.
Nonsense. PoW exists in the real world and had negative externalities. Of course it's subject to regulation.
Ah, sorry, haven't done that. It sucks if it's Eclipse only :-(

*American English grammar.

It's firmly 'Lego' in the UK.
The tooth radio idea reminds me of a bit from a children’s story but I can not place it.
Considering there is English grammar authority either, I guess you can never be violating English grammar rules? You are merely in conflict with some of the English dictionaries out there. So even if the scale is different, it's sort of the same.
Enterprise B2B is my go-to example of when product quality is not correlated with success. Distribution and getting through procurement processes is much more important.

As to your other points, Product-led matters when good products matter. Some products are bought purely for the brand/identity element (Seth Godin writes a lot on this), and product is irrelevant in those markets. Imagine there are a number of cases where product quality is irrelevant, but that goes back to my earlier point of the “only argument against product led”
>> Frankly I agree with other posters here that the most likely scenario is that there was a human driver in the seemingly-undamaged drivers' seat who fled the scene.

Do we really need to imagine a third person, who left leaving behind no evidence of his or her existence, to explain this accident?
Why Did Cahokia, One of North America’s Largest Pre-Hispanic Cities, Collapse?
I'm on a Mi 9. It's relatively cheap for the hardware it's got, at the cost of some pretty shitty software I can just deal with.

I'm not sure how that compares to the US where there's a 60/40 division in Apple/Android market share, though.
It's not uncommon for people to live with parents when they can so that they can save enough money for their future.

By the time my cousin got married, he was in his 30s and had lived at home all his life. He bought a condo immediately with his savings for him and his wife to move into.

My best friend lived at home until he paid off his student loans after which he saved enough for a down payment for a condo.

My other friend lived at home till her 30s, when she got married and moved in with her husband.

My other best friend is living at an apartment with his parents, and has a steady girlfriend as well as thriving businesses.

For some people I don't doubt living at home with your parents would be awful for development, but there's so many ways to live life that I would never generalize the outcomes without fully considering the circumstances.

Occam's Razor says: "entities should not be multiplied without necessity", but it's your explanation that is "multiplying entities", specifically the occupants of the car and certainly without necessity: two car occupants suffice to cause an accident.
Yes I've made a ton of mistakes. The worst are obvious typos, worse yet in a subject. The key thing is to learn and get better!

And I agree the climate or culture of our company is something we're working on and some people just don't work well in that environment. It's like a coin flip though on hires, the ones that you think are awesome sometimes don't do well and sometimes the ones that you think are green end up being amazing!

Plus it's just politics in general. It's really fast paced, high volume, crazy campaigns. the last months are like log higher work/money raised.
yep, all the definitions of legitimate equivocate it to legal/lawful.

except here, y'all want it to mean not-lawful.

I'm legitimately not smart enough to continue this conversation.
There is not even anecdotal evidence. I am 100% sure that the rate of deaths per 1000 autopilot-driven miles is at least an order of magnitude lower than the rate of deaths per 1000 human-driven miles. Tesla has that info and occasionally publishes it... people just like to get freaked out when there is an accident. Sure, someone died doing something dumb with autopilot... but what, 50 people died doing something dumb in a normal car in the time it took them to put out the fire? Why are we even having this conversation? it's ridiculous.
You can make a decent living coming up with new and exciting ways to regenerate teeth.

Meanwhile in the real world drilling & filling remains the cutting edge of dental treatment, as it has done for 7,000–9,000 years.
Assuming you mean living with your parents in their house, it pretty much is. It's different if you have an elderly parent living with you in your house.

Anyone in his 30s and living with his parents is going to have constrained social opportunities unless he's some kind of royalty.

If you earn money, then you're independent enough. That's enough for me. It's a bit embarrassing to admit that you live with your parents, but ultimately so what?
Primo is an actual name in Italian; the others have fallen (more) out of fashion, but certainly Quintus, Septimus and so on used to be perfectly reasonable Latin names.

I doubt that. The few times I have heard it, it sounded jarring and incorrect to me.
Of course he doesn't. Autopilot is already saving lives. It sucks when people die, but THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES. How many others died in car crashes while OP was typing that question? 20? 50? 100? Where are the tears for them??
Terrific things, there is one at the University in Sheffield. At the start of each academic year, freshers dare each-other to "go around the bottom" to the extent that there are stern warnings posted about this unbalancing the mechanism and leading to it stopping working (I'm pretty sure that's not true).
