Full text of the bill here [1]. It does indeed state that after 4 years after the bill is enacted, "shall issue a final rule to establish performance standards for driver monitoring systems and require those systems to be installed on all new passenger motor vehicles." This is after a 2 year research study by the Sec. of Transportation.

So basically yeah, it would require it in ALL cars, not just driving assisted ones. The privacy implications are not good. Not to slippery-slope the argument, but who wants a camera facing inwards mandated by the government?

I personally have a dashcam, but that's to protect my interests against someone running into me, fraud, or just plain old bad luck.

Well, for one, anyone administering anything IRL. You're a programmer, so you're not really responsible for much besides your own code. If you were a school principal (or a dance studio runner), knowing where the line exists (or is "liable to exist") BEFORE having to walk into court is important. A legal battle is not as easily ninja'd out as println debugging.

In England at least, if you're crossing HSR by foot, you pick up a handset and call train operations to cross. Probably overly conservative but obviously a simple thing for a car to implement along with the usual safety measures (though those would presumably involve gates or not at grade anyway).
You are totally right, I was a bit sloppy with my language there. Thank you for the detailed explanation.
> If you want to treat fellow citizens as an enemy force, say so

Dividing people is a bad idea because we have much more in common than is different between us. We should always try to be more inclusive and tone down the class wars and cancellations. We probably won't make any social progress while throwing stones into the opposing tribes instead of working together.

But you can't be inclusive of falsehoods, you can only open to legitimate concerns raised by the various groups, because any solution we find needs to be viable in the real world.

I don't trust revolutionaries - I've been burned before, and also read history. Revolutionaries, social warriors and activists love revolution more than peace itself. If we want to succeed we need to win the peace, not the war.

Not surprisingly it takes a lot of capital to make serious in-roads into self-driving. Ultimately if your main business is not profitable it is hard to justify spending 100m a year on L5 with no reasonable end in sight.

I think this is why only Waymo or Cruise or one of the other well-funded-by-profitable-other-business will continue to progress towards the true self-driving vehicle... its just too damn expensive and uncertain as to when the breakthrough/development will happen
> This is a bizarre response.

Really, its standard corporate spin when accepting a settlement, “We’re super happy to work with regulators to make things better.” When, of course, if the company had any interest in making things better the regulator would never have needed to get involved in the first place.

Obviously, its deceptive, but its not bizarre, its just making PR lemonade out of PR lemons.

> The systemic problem is that investors are buying up residential property inventory

Are you assuming that it's somehow sensible to buy property and leave it empty? Owner vs rental doesn't change the number of homes available.
The problem of course is that a certain crowd runs most large sites, and as seen on Youtube, if things they dislike become too popular they will do whatever they can to suppress that popularity.

Put another way, there are two definitions of "Authoritative": what does the raw data suggest, and what does the echo chamber I've surrounded myself with and become convinced is reality say. I think we all know which standard would be used if such a system was implemented (and of course, it's already been attempted in small ways).
No, but nobody else had posted at the time, and frankly, I didn't know what would happen, so I shared. Maybe there was supposed to be content - I didn't know.
So I live in New Zealand, and there was a period where cops were going all out with their new gadgets, and pulling people over whenever people speed above 4km/hr above speed limit that's like under 2.5MPH for you yanks.

I don't know how good you're at knowing how fast you're going. When the margin's that tight, you're going to either be very rich with a Tesla that's going below the speed. Or quite rich with a car like BMW that lets you set top speed. Or you're just going to go slow. like 10km/hr slower especially if you can't afford it.

The knock on effect was ridiculous. The trip took longer, and the amount of road rage witnessed on a daily basis was quite visible, wasn't a happy period for sure.
This was related to the parent comment that asked, rhetorically, if visiting an incarcerated rapist meant that you condoned rape.

I was pointing out that visiting a criminal does not directly imply that you condoned the actions that landed them in prison. However, if you know someone that is committing crimes, and you do nothing to stop them, then you do condone their behavior. I hope that clears it up?
I agree that the mechanisms are somewhat similar, but also that they are wildly different (unlike a securities margin loan or pledged asset line, your lender can't foreclose if the value of the property declines and you can't meet a margin call; as long as you keep paying the note, the value of the property could plummet to zero and the lender must continue to accept payments and allow you to retain ownership of the parcel).

Conversely, someone like Interactive Brokers is going to liquidate your holdings with extreme prejudice if the securities collateral declines below what their risk management feels comfortable with (other brokers are going to call you and perform a margin call).

You also can get way more leverage with real estate loans versus margin loans or pledged asset lines.
The only reason I dislike stock buybacks is that they encourage "riding" the bull market. Number goes up, people buy into the company, company does a stock buyback to keep the momentum, numbers go up even further, even more people buy into the stock, none of them caring about the actual company they are buying into, they just see the numbers.

I, as a Mormon, faced more social pushback in Georgia ~15 years ago, than my Wiccan friends, but neither of us faced any work pushback or worried about our jobs based on our religious beliefs.

Though I did have a co-member there get fired for being a Mormon and win a discrimination suit. His religiously motivated abstemiousness regarding alcohol got him fired from an aircraft maker since they worried about him NOT drinking with clients (as a salesman.)
That shouldn't be the standard. It probably will be, but it shouldn't be.

Humans are terrible drivers. If a self-driving car got into half as many accidents as the average human, it would save millions of lives. And kill people, to be sure, but fewer on net.

I also think you could make a reasonable argument that all cars should be banned, right now, based on how many people they kill, but since I don't think that's gonna happen...
I keep getting downvoted. I’ll keep saying it, we need government investment into self driving. It cannot be done by private sector alone.
Just had a look at the new ISO 10303-1:2021 (second edition, replacing the frist edition from 1994) which appeared in March. EXPRESS is still the primary description language and will obviously remain with us for a long time to come. Section 6.3.3 explicates "EXPRESS models provide the basis for all specifications of product information in ISO 10303". SysML is not even mentioned (in contrast to e.g. UML). Section 6.3.6 states "ISO/TS 10303-25 does not map all EXPRESS constructs to the
UML meta-model, because that meta-model does not support all the corresponding EXPRESS concepts. The specified mapping is a one-way mapping from EXPRESS into the UML Interchange Meta-model". There is no reason to assume that SysML is more expressive than UML in this regard. ISO 10303-11 was last time confirmed in December 2019.

ISO 10303-15 is apparently a technical specification on how to transform SysML XMI to XML Schema (XSD) format.
Toyota / Woven Planet also just announced it was picking Apex.AI as their software platform:

Suspending this student for this action was a gross overreaction by the coach, and the AD / school administration should have stepped in to intervene before this reached the point of legal action.

It seems basically impossible to me that the Supreme Court will be able to draft a broad decision that anticipates and handles all cases gracefully. I feel like no matter how they rule, the result will be that schools will be prevented from using common sense on a case by case basis, and instead rely on some convoluted N-point test with a ton of unintended consequences.
Neither of us are lawyers (based on your profile), but there are two modern forms of bankruptcy in the U.S: Chapter 7, liquidation which does discharge your debts, or Chapter 13, which is restructuring. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy, you have to pass the means test, which checks if your household income is below the median income of your state:

> The means test looks at the gross income of everyone in your household during the six months before you file. If your household income is below the median income in your state, you’ll qualify to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

If it isn't, then the courts can force your chapter 7 case be converted to a chapter 13. But if someone, say, lives alone and still works at their minimum-wage job from college, I don't see anything else that would prevent a chapter 7 from proceeding.

Voice search is basically like Apple Spotlight. It's system wide.

I only expect it to be localized within the app I'm in when I'm in the search box for that app, in which case I'm not using voice search, I'm using voice recognition to fill in the contents of the search bar.

Outside the context of voice recognition for an input, to me clicking the voice button on my apple TV is opening Siri, just like "Ok Google" or "Hey Alexa"
The tools are legit, and the bugs are real, but he has a distasteful habit of feeding sensationalist quotes to outlets like Forbes and Vice.

This time, he told Forbes that "the hacks effectively take Mac security back a decade" [1], and Vice quotes him as saying "this is likely the worst or potentially the most impactful bug to everyday macOS users in recent memory". [2]

Forbes ran the story with the headline "The ‘Worst Hack In Years’ Hits Apple Computers", and that's bullshit.

Qc35 + Razer seiren mini work great together.
Sorta. Here's what's actually going on, sticking to your folder analogy: This would be more like if, upon an officer reading the paper, some arcane force caused them to die, or change what was on the paper, or add or remove some papers. Or _literally anything else in the cops scope of power_.

Because that's what this does, it lets the data on a suspect's device potentially cause the software to run arbitrary code with elevated permissions, practically, you could use this to craft a packet of data that, when read by Cellebrite's software, simply shuts off the machine, or kills the Celebrite software, or, worse, connects to the internet and downloads some other payload to do something else. Cause there's no way these machines aren't connected to the internet at some point since the software validates its license that way.

I suffer from severe depression in general and social anxiety around more than a handful of people, and have talked to therapists regarding this. One huge benefit of therapy is that I was quite quickly able to answer the question of __why__ I feel the way I do, especially around new people I meet. But it is a whole another thing to actually being able to "fix" it. The way I think about it is that I know what the problem is _in theory_, but have no idea how to come up with a _practical_ fix for it.

When I was less depressed, I was able to join a local D&D group, go for bar trivia nights, etc. but as I became more depressed/anxious/stressed (coz of personal and professional situations), it became harder to push myself to become sociable and not get anxious around crowds.

So I think the main point that the parent comment is trying to say is that people need to recognize that problems that may seem to have simple and straightforward "solutions" (like "have you considered therapy") are significantly harder for some individuals purely due to other mental health issues.

I am not trying to fault you, but it is a thing I see in a lot of my friends/peers/relatives is that it gets harder to understand how different mental health issues affect different people in incredibly different ways.

The Last Days of Satoshi: What Happened When Bitcoin’s Creator Disappeared
You're joking, but based on the dynamic range (claimed by audiophiles) over a min length of ~160um (more on the outside less interior for 2kHz tone) and the peak motion ~37um per channel.

PVC grains are typically 100s of um in size, but the monomers themselves are ~10nm. Note that with 120dB claimed dynamic range this would be 37nm of deflection (at 45deg or 25nm lateral) for full resolution. That is close (3x off) to molecular Atomic Force Microscopy.

Of course what is encoded is actually force/velocity which in turn is inductively coupled out, but it is no surprise that simple optical scanning gives you mediocre results. Even 10x lower dynamic range requires 250nm optical resolution. It's doable, but not easy.
Digital data instead of signs seems like the obvious solution.
It's good that they can't, but even in the stock market you can get perpetual gradual margin calls that you can continue to meet if you felt like it, as long as they were gradual and not steep then a good broker will not liquidate your position at the lows.

I'm mainly responding to provide helpful context to others. Not for a typical pedantic thread where we are already agreeing with each other but just squabbling over semantics.

I would say this is the primary savings grace for real estate investors and homeowners. They get to build equity in so many scenarios that it works out for them and lets them maintain access to low cost capital, against the equity they build up.

does it have to? Can't it intentionally narrow down the scope of its decision? (which will of course give some push in one direction anyways, but leave stuff open instead of forcing specific criteria)

>Ok, but as this example demonstrates, a person's political views may stem from his religious views, which are protected.

Yes, which makes me believe that you are legally protected from being fired for publicly expressing your affiliation with a religious group. However, you are not protected from being fired for expressing political views, regardless of whether they stem from the religion you are affiliated with or some other source.

This is just an armchair lawyer level of reasoning on my end here, I have no idea if this is how it actually legally works, but that sort of makes sense. So if someone with the actual knowledge can chime in, that would be appreciated.

> On the face of it this seems like it would make Lambda school _more_ attractive than less.

Technically sure. On the face it tells me something about their branding - that their offering may be more deceptive than I might realize. Especially since its a new economic model for education, the customer probably hasn't thought through everything, so trust is important here.
But is it really only jerks? I've seen attempts to get people cancelled for what they've posted on social media over 10 years ago. Sometimes cancellation happens over allegations that are later proven to be false. There was a TED talk once about a woman who found out she was fired after getting off an airplane because she posted an insensitive joke. Was she wrong for doing that? Probably. Should she have been fired on the spot without even having any form of communication with her employer?

What if Twitter one day decided that something you happened to say, perhaps in the past, disagreed with some social "norm" that you weren't even aware of? Would you be happy to be fired? Or can you confidently say that you will never have any opinion different from that of the "social norm"?
Since the bug allows for arbitrary code execution, it's more akin to the officer reading the piece of paper and by doing so, he becomes the subject of some sort of curse that completely controls his actions.

It's important to realize that the credit monitoring services you can buy are provided by the credit companies.

The same company, which may at times make false claims about you, is in possession of a service / technology they claim can detect those false claims.

Why is it not libel when these companies make false claims about me? Especially when they advertise that they have the ability to detect such false claims? "Pay us and we will not make false claims about you" they say. "Pay us and we'll double check with you before making claims we believe to be suspicious about you."
You can't seriously believe that regulators have completely clean motives and actions.

I'm still getting up to date on what happened here, but corporate malfeasance isn't incompatible with aggressive and even corrupt regulation. In fact my starting place is that both are likely.

What I reject is the claim that the State only steps in and takes action if the party they're investigating has done something wrong. That's absurd.
Funny, I just called to put a Fraud Alert on my credit report. I encourage everyone to do it - so this way reputable lenders are supposed to call you when they're trying to open an account in your name. An attacker would have to port your SIM card as well...

However, all the information I was providing to set the alert, or remove it, is the exact information that any lender would receive on their application. The system if so horribly broken security-wise, I am shocked there aren't more accounts being opened left and right by people who got them from applications emailed to thousands of lenders over the years.
Can't downvote even if I wanted to, but...

> Lambda's model that they're understandably excited about here

You seemingly imply their bizarre positivity to being forced to stop their deceptive practices is a merely a result of them being excited about their model.

How does that track at all? What does one have to do with the other?

And on top of all that, you started by calling a critical response to their extreme positivity in the face of regulation for deceptive business practices "bizarre grumpishness."
Because they're under-driven, they actually need considerably more (typically four times as many) light emitters than a cheaper alternative, and those cost money. It's true that a capacitive dropper is a cheap way to make LED lamps work, but that's how the LED lamps you're offered in a typical store today already work, so doing that isn't saving them money over competitors, and since it's a long-life product they didn't skimp on the power supply design, check this Big Clive video for example:
