Agreed, and there are other viable attack vectors too. Instead of a worm, an unfriendly state or other bad actor with deep enough pockets could hack the update servers that cars get their over-the-air updates from. Employees of the car manufacturer could be compromised to make that easier.

Tesla is a software company and probably has a lower chance of getting hit due to expertise and funds being poured into security (even tho not infallible as this post shows), but there’s a race to the bottom and soon enough Car companies that couldn’t pull of decent navigation will have some form of computer-controlled-steering as stockholders are looking at Tesla stock price and breathing down their necks.

I have been worrying about this for some time, even tho I am also a tech lover and Tesla driver. was thinking of writing a blog post about this, but seeing this comment, maybe it isn’t a new thought and everybody is already aware of this risk.

I think you are right about medical personel. But also: if you make everyone crash around rush hour, you take out a significant share of the working population. And how do you clean up the infrastructure to let trucks and ambulances through again. Not to mention the catastrophe of cars crashing into stores and pedestrians in city centers.

I'm not experienced in this whole area, so I meant to ask in an open ended way :)

Does uLisp play well with sleep modes and setting up interrupts to come out of sleep and stuff?

I've been wanting to build a lower power weather logger that can run on a battery for a year. While scoping out the difficulty of the project and digging into lower power stuff .. things got very hairy very fast (this was with STM32F1 chips). A GC seems like an added layer of complexity. Like what happens if you have garbage collection during an interrupt handler? Or if your garbage collection is interrupted by something else..? is garbage collection on its own timer/handler that you need to manage?

Or is this built on top of the Arduino main-event-loop based model of programming? In which base it doesn't seem to be the normal interrupt driven thing you'd be looking at for lower power applications.. i think
Sigh; discussing these things always seems to lead to this. Could you be any more smug, condensing, and patronizing?

But yeah, I'm a racist "white supremacy apologist". Sigh. Do you not realize how massively toxic you're being here? For all your talk about "diversity" and "inclusivity" ya'll seem very quick to exclude people.

> You could have scored bonus points if you had also included "not all white people" in your reply.

Yes, "not all white people" is perfectly valid. Just as "not all men" is, or "not all Muslims are terrorists", or "not all blacks are criminals".

We're on the same damn team for crying out loud, I already said these problems need addressing, repeatedly, we just don't agree on some aspects regarding the best messaging and strategy to solve this problem.

This is like a football match where people keep tackling members of their own team. Maybe it would be better if I just succumb to the "violence" of staying silent if this is what you get if you do try and speak up but don't agree on some comparatively minor aspects. Your comment is certainly a lot more "violent" than any form of silence is.
Thanks America.
I'm not sure if I'd call Pendolino a dead end? From Wikipedia: "Pendolino is an Italian family of tilting trains used in Italy, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland, Russia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the UK, Switzerland and China."

In Finland, they seemed to have had a lot of problems with the tilting mechanism in the winter, so new digital hydraulics system was developed for that. Digital hydraulics is a fun concept by the way.

> Last month, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a $39 million settlement agreement with pharmaceutical company, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., resolving allegations that the company submitted false claims to federal healthcare programs by paying kickbacks to physicians to induce them to prescribe drugs. The DOJ alleged that Daiichi violated the Anti-Kickback Statute by disguising kickbacks as legitimate business engagements. Specifically, Daiichi engaged physicians as participants in various speaker programs, offering honoraria, payments, meals and other remuneration in return for the physicians’ services. The settlement agreement highlights the following activities which the DOJ found particularly offensive:

> 1. Honoraria was paid where recipient spoke only to members of his or her own staff in his or her own office.

> 2. [...]

Absolutely one of the slides is offensive. If it illustrated left-side people in such cartoonish caricature, the presenter would surely get the point. It's amazing that in the day of 'microaggressions', such blindness could exist.

Their "option" prompting the "rather civilized" discussion was that skin tone modifiers are the real racism.

Dang flagged it as flamebait, which it was. The HN audience has a certain political bias which results in discussions around diversity, inclusion and racism always going downhill fast. But this is separate from and only tangentially related to the implicit downranking you're mentioning (tho I'm sure this decision is motivated by a desire not to have front-page comments be this blatantly tilted towards this particular political "slant").
Well, that is essentially the future that the anarcho-syndicalists wanted. It’s ok for salaries to vary as long as they are chosen through some Democratic, consensual process.

After all- hierarchy is not when some of the people in a room stand taller than others. That’s just natural variation. Hierarchy is when one person in the room grabs a gun and demands that everyone else kneel.
> Secondly, though, can someone explain how "modifying steering and acceleration modes" does not "yield drive control"? This sounds like it does affect the driving of the car.

I have a car (2019 Seat Leon) with Dynamic Chassis Control. Modes are Eco, Normal, Comfort and Sport. Of these, only Eco really has any special characteristics like reduced acceleration. So while it may indeed affect how the car drives and steers, it’s nothing dramatic. I’m sure it’s relatively similar in a Tesla. But maybe I’m just numb. :-)
Yes but when you can sue for wrongful death... problems get taken care of. Insurance companies will learn that their bottom lines are deeply connected to car computer security and then either the network or the vulnerabilities will be gone. A $10 insurance surcharge can move mountains.
Yeah, probably not unethical from that standpoint. My dad seemed to think it was some sort tax avoiding inheritance scheme.

I guess my question would be, is there a point where it does become illegal even if there was an individual owner? Is there a threshold where leasing at higher than market rate becomes illegal?

On top of this if you were to examine the palms of the people around you, you’d see that they’re all lightly colored, so this whole thing is not even representing skin color correctly for the 2nd hand.
It's funny how gender-neutral terms where sought after, but we need alternatives to race-neutral emojis.
If you want to take that to the next level, consider instead of inanimate atoms and molecules moving randomly, there are only things making conscious choices.
Thanks to white supremacy, what should not matter actually does matter quite a bit, and white people paying lip service to the idea that "skin color does not matter" without acknowledging the history of how it has been made to matter and taking the actions required to make it not matter again just perpetuates white supremacy.
Compared to selling ads, high frequency trading and overthrowing democracies this seems like an improvement.

Can we not introduce some sort of hardware short-circuit? Hit this button and it cuts all power and engages brakes at full force.
Forgive me if I am out of line, but as I understand it, your company would still be legally liable for the debt. So even if blew past your prepaid card limit, your company would still have an obligation to pay using an alternative method.

Not a lawyer, etc, and don't even know what jurisdiction you are in or what providers you use, so this is just a general caution that your strategy may not generalize to other companies.

Yes, I am aware. But if we take things to extreme, it's possible there was a urgent situation (fire in the cockpit) that the pilot did not have time to communicate before losing the ability.
Glad to help, I have been in your spot; until you get the structure in place just make sure that the team is in agreement on the response.

I always believe in good faith and positive intent - call me naive - so I assume the managers have their own pressure to respond to and business needs to satisfy.

The 'understanding' first step is needed to see if there is an interim solution that takes the fire away from the business, the manager and the dev team. IE: The feature with the bug is not as urgent as other features in the same drop; squirrel away the bug behind a feature flag and deliver the rest. Now you can go ahead and fix the bug with a proper pace.

Is the meal you are cooking a new recipe to you? You gotta plan and do things slower don't you? If it's something you know how to do, you don't really use brainpower on the serialization of when to do what, but experience. Good and fast cooking is all about serializing tasks, not doing multiple things at the same time.

My breakfast routines are routines, If I start to mix up my routine, egg, bread and coffee timings are all screwed up. I overcook the egg, coffee is late. I have noticed timing and serializing tasks is everything when cooking anything. I think this is where the french(?) mise en place comes from, prepare every ingredient before hand, so when you have multiple stoves going on, ingredients are ready and you can focus on time critical stuff.

I just don't understand why the pilot would have taken such elaborate measures to get to where they plane went. To hide the wreckage and cast doubt on the happenings? If that's the purpose, it seems to have been in vain.

He could have simply nose-dived the plane to the water at any point. Why bother with all the evasiveness?
Possible, but this seems the simplest explanation to explain the discrepancy.

Regardless of what the explanation is; I'm merely remarking upon the asymmetry and the fact that many persons seem to not perceive the unnatural, amber-colored emoji as neutral territory, but I don't believe this ia a universal human trait either.

I often encounter that various cognitive defects are suggested to be universal in the literature and research that investigates them, and notes it exists, but the research's methodology can often not discriminate between that, because there is no possible negative effect. — it's entirely possible that only half of persons has the asymmetric perception, but that's enough to create an average positive measurable effect.
Bingo on the last sentence. So much of modern medicine has no theoretical basis and is just confirmed to work in tests, like "perform the incantation and the patient will recover."
I doubt I represent a typical American. You can perhaps find comfort that I was down-voted to oblivion within fifteen minutes for posting such a naughty thought.

Here is my distillation of arguments for keeping the USPS:

* USPS is required to service areas which may not be covered by other carriers. A handful of commenters note, from first hand experience, that rural inhabitants may have to pick up mail from centralized depots away from their homes.

* USPS transactional mail serves those without internet access. The internet is effectively controlled by a handful of private entities. If internet access was universal and treated like a public utility, it is unclear if this second argument still holds.

Interestingly, nobody brought up mail-in voting and its importance to democracy. Nor is the environmental impact of the USPS apparently worthy of consideration.

My biggest takeaway is that the USPS is a sacred cow. Like the topics of gender and race, it's unwise to ask questions.
"But Flutter choosing Dart"
Maybe kotlin was a year too late, not making it to 1.0 till
February 15, 2016.

The sky project that became flutter was demoed at the April 2015 dart conf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnIWl33YMwA

As regards Javascript, that's what they started with, they looked at other languages and gave dart a go, it gave them faster startup and the dart team offered them stateful hot reload.

Anyway working in the chrome space, they prob didn't know that Kotlin existed pre 2015 and prob would have gone with Python if could.

There are two main types of tilt: active and passive. Active tilt uses a computer, armed with track geometry knowledge, to control the tilt. Passive tilt is just the centrifugal force automatically tilting the train.

The first one is very comfortable. The second is probably what you rode -- it's pretty bad.
Some months back, I had the same recollection: an article about suspicious pneumonia cases in China published by the BBC sometimes in December. I did some searching, and nothing, I think the first article is from the 31st of December. Funny how the mind can trick you, maybe it is linked to "Déjà vu" [1].

> Or - hear me out - the partner was embarrassed to verbalize that she's competing with the friend's engagement ring, and therefore created a less embarrassing, post-hoc rationalization as to why she wants a $40k ring too. Here's a thought experiment - had the friend gotten a $6k ring, would she have asked for a ring closer to $6k or still gone with $40k, by some intuition?

Marginally better, but still greatly concerning that the person you're supposed to trust most is too embarrassed to communicate openly imo.
I guess you’ve trained it on real startup names or something?
> an economy where no tracking is possible might not perform as well as an economy that tracks everything

Oh well. Just let the economy perform slightly worse then.

> for knowledge means better resource allocation

Who cares about some corporation's resource allocation? That's their problem to solve. We should be caring about all the people whose privacy they are violating instead.

If they want to allocate resources efficiently, they should be required to do it in a way that doesn't invade anyone's privacy. If that means they'll make less money so be it.
> Businesses, the entities that are paying the most money to AWS, will NOT want a hard shutdown.

I don't think anyone is arguing that any account MUST take advantage of hard shutdowns. Only that it should be an option for those who truly do want it.

> How does AWS decide what to shutdown and what to delete?

That's a much more interesting question. It tends to be services, rather than storage, that are the root cause of these outlandishly large surprise bills. But if, by chance, it's S3 that's running up the bill, what would a hard shutdown mean? Which data does Amazon delete first to get the account down to its hard limit?
I love the concept. The White House has been lacking any form of intelligence for quite some time, so this is a step in the right direction.
We can’t eternally keep the status quo just to avoid opening cans of worms. If we don’t intend to throw it away, we might as well open it and face the worms.

This all reaction reminds me of the “new” skin tone palette of band aids: some people were happy with the change, and it seems to me the impact for everyone else who liked the standard ones was null.

But there was sooooo many reactions against the very idea that more than one color was now available.

There are people of different hair colors and styles as well; do we also need to represent that in fonts? Heights, weights, eye colors (possibly heterochromic), and many others are all possible variations among humans. I’ve never felt the need to give someone a “<skin color> <gender> with <color1, color2> eyes and <length, style, [colors]> hair thumbs-up” to indicate agreement or mild praise.

Of course it’s fine to represent these concepts in graphics/picture form; I’m not trying to squelch that we have differences that might be relevant to marketing contact lenses, reproductive healthcare, fitness, or hair services. It’s just not obvious that we need to express the full spectrum of humans with high-fidelity across many dimensions in fonts.

I truly hope that my unborn great-grandchildren look with confused derision on the level of importance we currently assign to skin color.
That's not entirely true. They know that bleach can be used against CWD for surface decontamination. I would call a 50/50 bleach water solution quite common for disinfectant.

I've been wondering recently to what extent formal verification could be used to simplify CPU hardware and ISAs. For example, MMUs are unnecessary if the OS verifies that all programs only access memory that's been allocated to it. This paper[0] seems to imply that the savings would be non-negligible. Also interrupts and context switching could be avoided if programs are cooperatively scheduled and verified that they always yield after an appropriate amount of time.

Those two examples are the only ones I could come up with, but I suspect that's because I don't know very much about hardware design. Are people working on this or am I just off-base here?

As a non-US'er, there are several things I don't understand here:

1. Why was the federal government suing Kail, rather than the company? i.e. on what basis do his actions constitute a criminal offense, when conducted within a single organization (the company)?

2. I remember hearing the terms "mail fraud" and "wire fraud" a lot, but what do Kail's actions have to do with mailing or wiring anything?

3. From the description, it seems like Kail's actions were pretty transparent. Wasn't he called out immediately on this stuff?

My grandfather (from Czechia, cca years 1970-1990) kept daily notes of what he bought and did each day (he somewhat obsessively quantified himself before it was cool). I think these could be interesting to a historian, but they're written in pencil and kinda hard to read/decipher. I don't think technology is advanced enough for automated extraction yet.
If (and it's a big if) they were in the liquid, someone walking down the street and hitting their vape could "infect" quite a lot of people. The delay between that point and the onset of symptoms would make it very hard to pinpoint the vape as the cause.

I read a random letter from my grandfather recently. The most interesting part of it was how much mundane life updates were in it.
