Even in Australia, where we have strong consumer protection, they still call it 'Full Self Driving Capability'.

Then underneath: "The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. Some features require turn signals and are limited in range. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of kilometres of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."
In the US ham licensing cost fairly little $15 for the short multiple choice test to $0 -- depending on where you get licensed. All the needed study material is available for free online. Compared to the cost of a radio that shouldn't be a major barrier.

I think the most support I could give your argument is that convicted felons are barred from getting licensed. I think that is an unnecessary and inappropriate restriction -- and ones with obvious discriminatory consequences considering the race/gender/economic biases in who gets charged and convicted of crimes. But it's a bit hard to lobby against because there are creeps that try to use the radio to meet kids and that felon restriction is one of the tools people use against that.
I'm sorry to see one of the more nuanced comments downvoted. Looks like the hacker news free speech anarchist task force is busy today.

Well, when people read full self driving, they think they never have to touch the wheel in whatever circumstance. Can you remove the wheel? That the public does not care does not mean it is not a wrong message which might lead to bad accidents, by the public.

It's funny to see people freak out about this when entire foundation of Google is built on the proposition that it can make effective judgments about the relative value of various content out there on the web.

Like, if Google has a hidden agenda here that makes it any more fundamentally compromised as a judge of disinformation than anything else, then whether or not it will be a free CDN for arbitrary content isn't remotely our biggest problem.

And if they're just that bad at sorting information from disinformation in spite of their considerable resources and ostensible value proposition, same thing goes, although that's an opportunity for someone else to the extent that there's a market for understanding reality.

So, yeah. Google by its nature is going to play a role regarding what's a threat to accurate understanding and democracy. It's not alone in this; journalism does it. The academy does it. The courts do it. Businesses do it.

The way you get a well-functioning society where robust discourse turns into better perception and refined ideas isn't that everybody takes a hands off approach, it's that everybody -- all institutions and individuals -- take responsibility.

Not to mention that requiring Google (or anyone) to carry and disseminate information that they consider irresponsible... well, compelled speech isn't exactly freedom of speech.
I hate new features in familiar applications. I think it’s marketing you are referring to, not consumer demand. While I’m only positing an anecdotal personal reaction, I’m also not seeing data behind the premise you proposed.

Slack is puzzling to me, as it’s a terrible product, IMO, which I feel bandwagoned from a few top down decisions by some larger companies to risk their essential internal communications on a third party proprietary app. It makes no sense to me and I would never specify it’s use on any team I lead.
> You can think and discuss what you want, but if you broadcast your views to a wide audience you should also be held to a higher standard. The real issue is who does the accounting.

It is exactly because you, nor anyone else, can come up with an acceptable solution to your last point, it is surely a lesser evil to have free speech, however "dangerous" it may turn, rather than have a benevolent accountant with the speech monopoly turn on us.

I disagree. While dubbing things “misinformation” was extremely prevalent coming from democrats and those on the left, things like Trump and his supporters dubbing certain reports “fake news” show everyone has concerns.
Nog sure about the intent of Google (and as they say, the road to hell is paved with good ones) but you’re reframing. It’s not a matter of censoring deviations from orthodoxy, rather one of removing disinformation and demonstrable falsehoods, often used for propaganda and to setup victim scenarios.
Really depends where and when.

Some locations are so packed with moronic drivers you really can go insane if you're on a schedule. Also accident rates are high.

I don't find Uber as convenient as my own car...

In my own car, I have privacy... I can drive immediately rather than having to call one in advance... I can leave stuff in the car, play my own music, go up into the mountains, etc.

I see there are advantages to Uber, but for most people, if ignoring all financial considerations, owning your own car wins in a lot of cases.
To me people wanting to do something else while driving their cars is the same as people burying their faces in their phones while sitting in a cafe: mindless escapism.

Be present in the world, enjoy the moment, whether it's sipping a cup of coffee or driving or doing the dishes.
Right now I think the answer is simple but boring - you're responsible for what the car does, even on autopilot. The car does go out of it's way to ensure you're paying attention, it requires you to hold the wheel and, in new models, watches you to make sure you're actually paying attention.

I know Elon is the antichrist on HN so it's tempting to blame him for everything, but personal responsibility still exists. It's your car, you should know how to operate it safely.

I'm afraid I feel this is kind of missing the point. I assert that you will spend the time coming up with how to remember a thing; the question is whether you choose to do that at card construction time (easiest, because you've got all the context available to you of the thing you're trying to remember), or ad-hoc during review time.

Creating a card is not just writing down some text (or, worse, copy-and-pasting it so that you remove all your agency entirely); rather, it's focusing a spotlight on a specific small aspect of your enormous mental model, determining how you can remember that particular aspect, and then writing down a card that will trigger you to illuminate that same spotlight in the future. Reviewing a card is not just dredging some detail from your memory; rather, it's remembering the reason you remember that card, and then re-activating the spotlight.

Writing and reviewing flashcards is a much more active process than many people think, and I am very wary of anything that purports to remove some of that activity, because the activity is what helps you remember!
I've posted a similar comment before, but on what basis do you trust fakespot? If they were being paid to promote or even outright manipulate the analysis how would we know?

I’m using malformed content because I’m on a coder forum. It’s the easiest analogy to apply.

We know how brains operate and process information. We know that it’s not going to treat information in an unbiased manner.

It processes identity information, threats, statistics and out group information differently - among a whole world of idiosyncrasies.

Attackers sadly also know enough how to create content that subverts that processing in precise manners.

It’s content designed simply to propagate and defeat logical or rational scrutiny.

Its filled with the kinds of logical fallacies that maybe YOU would defeat, but are so broadly spread that it will always find victims.

Those victims are then set up for the next round of content and then the next round.

Eventually this content dominates the discourse. It’s like suddenly everyone knows that the yeti was an astronaut.

Google misses more misinformation than it finds - and this is even if we discuss only America or the English speaking world.

$199 for a perpetual beta that might kill you without reading the small print - seems like good deal.
"Full Self-Driving capability is now available" [..] "and do not make the vehicle autonomous."

We truly live in a world where facts are vastly inferior to marketing. Highway cruise control, lane changing, traffic light stop and assisted parking has been around long enough that you can get it in a $5k used car already. I'm surprised that they don't have a speed limit and sign detection, because that, too, has been around for a long time. So in effect, this is a "get feature parity with a cheap used car" upgrade. But nobody cares and the stock price rises anyway.

In a way, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Steve Jobs are quite similar. They perfected the reality distortion field and at least some people absolutely love them for it.
I bet right now they're working on the next full self driving computer with even more compute power, trying to figure out how to avoid being forced to upgrade all cars in the field with it...

More compute just makes all problems easier, and when trying to solve a hard problem like self driving, being compute restrained at the same time just makes things harder.
I had to stop driving for four months after I had a sudden major seizure episode. Changes to medication also meant not driving for a similar amount of time.

I have not had an event in years, and no longer take medication, but anxiety about driving and being independent is still something I carry with me.
Yes we do. It is only more important that the state is first correct, and doesn't persecute when either it or you are not.
For as long as it's my responsibility not to kill people while driving, I will refuse cars that drive for me, that don't let me see and change the software on them.
We in the US allow businesses to be everything from sneaky to outright liars. We used to value customer satisfaction and profit, now it's just 'get too big to fail/be refulated'.

I can't believe we still allow car dealerships to offer deals no one qualifies for with 10 seconds of impossible-to-follow sped up gibberish that essentially voids what they said before.

Also commercials 10x louder than the programming being watched is illegal, but I challenge you to find a channel on cable that doesn't do it. Makes me hate walking by tvs.

> democracy requires the government, or megacorporate cartels with a monopoly on public speech most likely acting as proxies for the government

Who says that individuals or business institutions making judgments and using their resources to arbitrate truth -- especially institutions like Google whose business is about information -- are acting "as proxies for the government" instead of taking responsibility for honestly arbitrating truth as they understand it?

And the idea that any attempt to arbitrate truth is equal to totalitarian oppression is exactly wrong. Every institution and individual has to do it. Certainly any society based on rule of law does; you can't apply law without a consensus about what the facts to apply it to are.
People apparently mostly rely on PiHole & other similar options for that.
American society has been slowly convinced, and then the rest of the world by extension, that this was absolutely necessary to combat the next big threat.

First it was to "combat hate", that speech was limited according to what partisan big tech companies decided was fair. It was said it had real-life consequences. Harm. So it should be banned.

Then anything from certain parties or ideologies became hate if labeled so by the tech giants. So out they went.

Now, anything questioning the authoritarian narrative of the pandemic is labeled as such.

The slippery slope that people tried to deny with claims of "private companies" has gotten higher and keeps going deeper.

Talking about freedom, freedom of speech or human rights gets you mocked in certain spaces. It's mind-boggling.

Of course. It's following the economic interest of filling the pockets of company C levels.
Uber Eats just started allowing for alcohol delivery. In the opt-in, Uber indemnifies itself while notifying you that you are responsible for age verification, whether the ID is legit, whether the person is 'too intoxicated to serve' etc and you can be criminally liable for any- and everything.

As long as companies can use legalese to indemnify themselves this shit will continue ad infinitum.

- Theft (a casual thief might just grab your laptop, and leave the annoying-to-unplug PC tower alone, but that's not a guarantee - boring secretless paperwork is a lot less likely to be stolen)

- People forgetting to clone your git repository

I think the differences become more stark and more valuable/surprising the closer you get to understanding the protocols. There are some major availability and performance tradeoffs involved in the choice between Multi-Paxos and Raft, as you go from paper to production. This can be the difference between your cluster remaining available, and the loss of an entire cluster merely because of a latent sector error.

For example, UW-Madison's paper "Protocol-Aware Recovery for Consensus-Based Storage" [1] won best paper at Fast '18 and describes simple scenarios where an entire LogCabin, Raft, Kafka or Zookeeper cluster can become unavailable far too soon, or even suffer global cluster data loss.

People say the like to listen to music or podcasts on the subway too, therefore saying subway commuting time is not wasted... Yet if you ask them if they ever listen to podcasts for an hour or two on their days off, they'll reply 'of course not'.

Suggesting to me that these people don't actually want to dedicate an hour of their life to listening to podcasts - they're just fooling themselves to justify spending 2.5 hours a day on the subway commuting to their jobs.
I think it is correct to say that the executive branch is only authorized to implement existing laws, and Congress creates those laws. So the executive branch is indirectly constrained. For every action X they take, they must cite a law which authorizes them to do X, and that law is made by Congress.

So I guess more properly, either (a) this executive action is not backed by Congress and therefore unconstitutional, or (b) whatever law they think allows them to do this must be unconstitutional on 1st amendment grounds.

I don’t see how would it be a double-edged sword. It’s a meme, but we do in fact live in a society, with laws made mostly democratically by people (ideally) — which is the closest thing at this scale to a fair system. Why should a private company get to decide what it wants over the local laws? If it were to host child porn, should we be okay with that even though we collectively have voted to ban any form of pornography of minors?

They very intentionally mislead in their advertising. The feature list includes this:

> Full Self-Driving Computer

That sounds like self driving but it absolutely isn't. You're paying for only having the computer, it doesn't work and will not work before the end of the economic life of the car but you are paying for it.

All the other things you get from "full self driving" are driver assist functions that other car makers also offer.
Honestly, I feel like https://xkcd.com/169/ applies - the author is being intentionally misleading to generate views. Saying some sort of, "well technically [in a different context], yadda yadda" doesn't change that.

I accidentally discovered this denial-of-service vulnerability while I was exploring uBlock Origin's codebase to see how some of its advanced features work.

It's a basic, excessive-recursion flaw that is noteworthy because uBO is installed on millions of devices and because it affects uMatrix, which is still used by many security-conscious users despite being unmaintained.

I was surprised that the issue had gone unnoticed for so long and was hoping my write-up would encourage other developers to take a closer look at the uBO codebase. I also wanted to make uMatrix users aware of the bug, which does not seem like it will be patched.

The uBO and uMatrix ecosystem is quite large: some shared code between the two extensions years ago turned into present-day vulnerabilities in uBO, uBO (Legacy), uMatrix, ηMatrix, nuTensor, AdNauseam, and many other lesser-known forks.

I had initially included some mitigation steps for uMatrix in my post, but I later realized they were incomplete and removed them. I will probably not make similar recommendations in the future, especially now that the steps have been quoted elsewhere and I cannot easily correct them (whoops).

I have decided to migrate away from uMatrix after my latest findings, but other users will have to make their own judgment calls.
