The language is definitely a bit tricky: think about how many accidents are caused by driving aggressively or choosing to use a phone while driving. Nobody chose the accident but it was a direct, easily predicted consequence of a deliberate choice and wouldn’t have happened if they had followed the law. That seems to be rather different from you hitting your finger with a hammer, unless perhaps you were trying to check Facebook at the same time like the average commuter.

Your link shows that 48 out of 50 states don't require sprinklers. I would guess that less than 5% of SFR in the US have sprinklers.
That seems promising. 3D scanning your foot and printing a shoe seems vastly superior to what we're currently doing - vague size measurements.

> I feel news was of better quality 15 years ago than today

Having been around for the last 30 years (yes, even before the 90s!) I can say that the quality of news and the NUMBER of news sources is far greater. The amount of data online has only increased and has increasingly been sourced. Imagine the world before, when the only source of news was to interview someone in person or read the copy that particular source was using in the narrative.
> that the government _isn't_ doing what we all have seen it is.

Where have you seen that the government is siphoning Americans' data via PRISM? The slides clearly show it js a data integration project to get data from the FBI's DITU. Claiming otherwise as you have is the conspiracy theory because it is based on no documents released either by Snowden or the government, and if it is happening, there would have to be a vast conspiracy to keep it secret when even something as simple as phone metadata collection is illegal.

The documents clearly state that PRISM ingests Section 702 content, not NSL metadata, so that just shows a gross misunderstanding not only of the actual primary documents but of Greenwald's initial misreporting of them as well.

Edit: Response to comment below due to rate limiting. If you want to learn something and clean up the formatting of this thread, upvote my comments, so I can put this in a new comment in the correct part of the thread:

No, I said very specifically that PRISM was a non-story, despite what Snowden clearly believed.

NSL letters [sic] are for metadata collection. Of those, Snowden released documents about a single illegal program using NSLs, which was phone metadata collection. If he had understood the documents he was releasing, he would have pushed that story instead of PRISM.
I'd disagree. I chose AWS over GCP precisely because of the relative ease of deploying Lambda. That in turn led me to use DynamoDB and S3.

I started off with GCP, Cloud Storage and Cloud Firestore, but it was such a hassle and in the end, I couldn't even manage to run my Cloud Functions. The 10s cold start time was another non starter factor that led me to switch.

Honestly, I don't see myself staying with DynamoDB or AWS lambda. I definitely prefer local-hosted data stores such as on a DO droplet, and I would have started off with them were it not for their shoddy service. AWS service has been extremely strong so far.
Sure. There was inflammation on my heart around those nerves, causing them to cease working. There are three nerves there, that propagate the impulse from your atriums to your ventricles in a controlled manner. When those nerves don't work, some of the impulse still indirectly makes it to the ventricles through the muscle tissue, but it's significantly delayed. So the ventricles beat, but at a significantly slower rate. It seemed to go 2:1 then 3:1, and even 4:1 at times.

I had to get a pacemaker to solve the immediate issue of my heart not beating normally. With the inflammation taken care of a few months later, my nerves eventually started working again and my heart beats normally enough. They aren't 100%, but they're probably good enough that the pacemaker isn't necessary anymore.
I don’t think they are different. In my experience it’s common to buy them by the dozen because you’re taking them to some sort of event.

To me it's just a matter of stakes. No one will die if you close your door without taking care. On a road that's a realistic threat so people should account for it in how they act. For me that moves it from accident to negligence (in an everyday language sense, not legalese).
You can't describe how one explanation doesn't fit with Occam's definition of simpler, without saying what the other explanation is.

That's the whole point of Occam's Razor: "simpler" (or any other adjective we might use there) requires a comparison.

Wouldn't that be slower? To this day, despite the continued efforts to improve the rendering speed, I hesitate a bit before opening PDF files due to their heaviness. In that alternative universe, would it be possible to optimize PS renderers to be on a par with HTML+CSS+JS renderers? I also guess such "webpages" would require more bandwidth because they need to include every font glyph used.

Looks like you're correct!
Searching internet archive for books is really great. I do prefer books to online reading, and often times I can get a book I'm interested in via inter-library loan if I am willing to wait. However if I can read the first chapter online on the internet archive I know if it's worth the wait to read the actual book. I do see it mentioned quite often on HN, but I feel like the population in general when I mention it I don't get the same response I do if I mention say Google or Wikipedia. I would not say IA is on par with those in terms of how often I use it, but it definitely offers something significant that is not offered elsewhere as far as I can tell.
Autopilot also supposedly wants the seat belt buckled and weight on the seat, right?
Part of the problem is the false dichotomy between single family suburban style dwellings and high-rises. The middle ground, medium density row houses and similar, is almost impossible to build anymore in many locations. The costs and regulations are such that either you build a single family dwelling or fight for a high-rise.

I am curious how reliable a source of information you regard "Putin himself" to be?
There's an old short story by Alan Dean Foster touching on that idea. Earth is isolated behind a force field because it's considered so dangerous until an alien empire under pressure from an undefeatable foe has no option but to ask for help. No spoilers but it's a good story...

You said

"It's because the government isn't siphoning everybody's information"

which is a blanket statement, and now you're limiting that statement to being via PRISM, which is a tightening of the requirements you were talking about. The link you posted states that the government is siphoning Americans' data via NSL letters and the like, which is true. I do not know enough about PRISM to say one way or another, but I can see in the last few comments you're thrashing on this.

To me, there's lots of possibilities. Driver couldn't open the door after the crash, so moved to either the passenger or back seat to try and escape...but failed. Or, third person was driving, fled the scene on foot. Both kind of unlikely. But how likely is it that they circumvented the seat belt, put a weight on the seat, and kept torque on the wheel, and then engaged autopilot?

Whatever happened here is going to be something weird and unusual.

From [1]:

Bloomberg asked Urmson about Tesla's Autopilot technology—and particularly Elon Musk's claim that Tesla vehicles will soon be capable of operating as driverless taxis.

“It’s just not going to happen,” Urmson said. “It’s technically very impressive what they’ve done, but we were doing better in 2010.”

That's a reference to Urmson's time at Google. Google started recruiting DARPA Grand Challenge veterans around 2009. Within a couple of years, Google's engineers had built a basic self-driving car that was capable of navigating a variety of roads around the San Francisco Bay Area.

A couple of years later, Google started letting employees use experimental self-driving cars for highway commutes—an application much like today's Autopilot. Google considered licensing this technology to automakers for freeway driving. But the technology required active driver supervision. Urmson and other Google engineers decided there was too great a risk that drivers would become overly reliant on the technology and fail to monitor it adequately, leading to unnecessary deaths.

When auto steer is engaged, it limits the speed to 5MPH over the speed limit unless you are holding the gas pedal down. If you hold the gas pedal down, the automatic braking and speed controls are not active. At that point, the car isn't in control.

If you are on the highway, it is different. But this car was in a residential area.
I've certainly noticed this. I'm not from a rich family, I was raised on welfare and I've managed to work my way into finally being able to buy my own three bedroom home in my 30s. Have a lot of friends who don't make anything near what I do, but middle class/rich parents that were able to give them a kick along the road with a house deposit telling me "oh, I'm surprised you lived in a tiny two bedroom apartment on your wage".

Knowing that I have to build my own retirement really makes me resent that so much of what I earn is going to the state to pay for what, a few shitty public art sculptures that no one likes, a crumbling public transport system that somehow has all the money in the world to pay for all sorts of diversity programs but not enough to actually deliver the services everyone thinks they should, and health department bureaucrats that are more interested in bogging healthcare providers down in paperwork than actually letting them tend to the sick.

It's all very tiring.
I loved Adobe's PostScript documentation. Its all excellent. I gotta admit that I liked PostScript better than Forth. Its definitions and the little differences made it funner. I often think it would be fun to do a version of PostScript as a normal scripting language. It would be fun.

The first half of the article lambasts the current conflicted interests of homeowners, who are obsessed about wealth-building through their property purchase and thus super-sensitive about increasing housing supply in their zip code. Boo wealth-minded howeowners!

But few paragraphs below under his proposal those who choose to participate are awarded “the opportunity to begin generating wealth immediately, from the minute they form their first household - a leap forward for both racial and generational equity”.

That’s a possibility, sure, but what about the property potentially losing value due to supply pressure or changing job market conditions? Aren’t the homeowners under his program as likely to develop hardcore NIMBYism as under any other financing scheme?
The single letters are pretty bad, but when we use a persons name instead of a concept to describe something is where it gets truly awful. What the heck is an Eigen vector? Gaussian curve? Cartesian coordinates? Hilbert space? Julia set? Mersenne prime? Zero chance of intuiting any of that
Anecdotally from a good friend of mine who's a fire chief at a local station, when they finally extinguish electric vehicle fires they have to park the burned car at least 50 metres away from other vehicles in their holding yards, because of the risk of re-ignition. They often put out an EV fire and then have the thing catch on fire again days later.
And anyone who owns a house (especially an older one) knows that property taxes are relatively minor compared to maintenance costs (which are erratic and often unaccounted even by small landlords). They really add up.
Genuine question: What's to stop someone for minting another block, with something that has previously been minted-e.g. Dorsey's first tweet, and pawning that off as the real deal?

The NFPA has data on that too. Fire causes are:

- 47% mechanical

- 21% electrical

- 7% intentional

- 6% exposure

- 4% crash, overturn, run-over

- 2% smoking

So crashes are a relatively rare cause. They also break it down by the area the fire started:

- 63% engine area, running gear, or wheel area

- 11% passenger/operator area

- 5% cargo/trunk

- 3% exterior

- 2% fuel tank or line

Interpolating between those numbers, you might guess that between 20% and 40% of fires could be described as "engine spontaneously combusting." That would be 45,000 - 90,000 per year in the US.

So despite you never having heard of it, it does happen.

The Fremen Mirage (named after Dune's Fremen) is the myth that harder conditions produce harder/tougher peoples. Dr. Deveraux goes into very extensive depth as to why this is a myth with a lot of historical evidence.

Though the series of articles is focused on war, I feel that the Fremen Mirage is also one that can be pointed toward safety culture as well.

The questions aren't bad per se, but they lack substance. Here's my go-to list after a series of rookie mistakes:

1) What's your version control system? (if not git or hg just don't bother, they're a lost cause)

2) What's your testing strategy before releasing to the trunk and/or the client?

3) What's your continuous integration system looks like? (Again flee if you hear "huhhh")

4) What's your typical release cycle time? (lower is better)

5) What kind of Agile method do you follow? Corollary to that, ask them "at which frequency your teams meet directly with clients?" (The second question is to see if they're faking agile)

6) Can you give examples of concrete objectives your typical employee has to accomplish for career advancement?
More than that, what goal are you achieving by letting them invest? Will you use that money to hire a full time sales person, or another dev to accelerate the product, or...? Because if you don't know what you'd do with that money, you don't want that money (nor the extra voice and trouble it would bring).

You can always keep this thing bootstrapped. If you reach a point you need an extra pair of hands, you can evaluate if it makes sense to hire someone, and if debt or equity financing is necessary. But if you're not at that point, there's no reason to take that on.

A key thing to remember is being invested in is a means to an end. Ultimately it requires giving up a level of control, or taking on a level of debt; it's not simply 'a good thing to do'.

So even without considering the downsides of a customer as a shareholder, you may want to avoid doing it just because you don't know how the money will advance your goals.
If the intervention was not to avoid a collision, they review the footage and find that autopilot would have done something safe, and therefore it is not deemed an autopilot accident.

Yes, because the only people buying them are in on the scam. No one is looking to buy Jack Dorseys 1st tweet for millions of dollars, they are looking to buy an advertisement so you too think you could become an overnight millionaire you just need to join their platform and buy in first. It’s the same thing as the Nigerian Prince that won the lottery but can’t cash it, so he will give you the winning lottery ticket if you just give him $1,000.
Because not all software works on older hardware. Simply installing linux won't help. There is limitations in older hardware, slow cpu, less memory, etc. For example try running modern firefox on slow netbook, it takes 100% of resources.
Why does anyone still care about eavesdropping on mobile networks? How come it is still not 100% universally acknowledged that the network is hostile and carriers should not be treated as anything but a dumb pipe for IP over which you have your own security on the application layer? Maybe carriers should just straight up declare regular phone calls as non-private and start publishing all recordings of literally everyone's calls ever straight to their website. Seems like we need that kind of nuclear option to finally destroy the remaining false sense of security in the plain old telephone system.
Depends what their goal is. "Limping along" while generating thousands of revenue for each of them, while requiring only minimal attention, may be perfectly acceptable. That's a lifestyle business; they may not want to run a company.
As a former business guy who wanted software, I’d recommend that you focus on finding someone you trust over picking a specific tech stack. What you’re looking for is someone who can talk to you about the problem you’re trying to solve, which could be recommending no software, along with the benefits & trade offs of the whatever tools they intend to use. If someone you trust wants to use Elixir & Vue, great. If someone you don’t trust wants to use Elixir & Vue, run far away.
