We already have cyclists coming through town and heading up to the Olympic Peninsula and the like, as is documented in the Project Bike Rack post. I think if businesses are informed that people want bike racks, they might be willing to supply them as a low cost means to attract more tourist dollars with less environmental burden.

Cataloging existing bike racks and "bike rack wanted" sites will take time. And then I need to figure out how to connect with businesses and there are no doubt many other details still to be uncovered.

This is a brand new project but it grows out of a lot of research. I think it holds promise for actually making a difference while being a lightweight solution.
And propane has close enough properties to r21 that it can be used as a drop in replacement. Of course, HVAC guys flip their lid at the thought of it. Because they want to get that sweet markup on the extremely expensive, discontinued r21 or a pricey alternative.
That's my interpretation of this paragraph:

> ... from scores of long-time fans who were under the mistaken impression that we had ceased all operations years ago

> ...When we ask them what caused the assumption of our demise, they invariably cite the fact that our posts disappeared from their Facebook news feeds.

I understand that the article is an opinion piece against facebook, but I just think that the data provided is ambiguous. Looks like Facebook did a great job showing the blog to the relevant people. So much so, that years after the people reach to author with questions where it disappeared.

Here's a video of Waymo car in Phoenix. Around min. 17 it gets confused by a cone and stops in the middle of two lane road, hugging both lanes.

Then google sends support but just when they arrive, the car drives away from them.

They were lucky it didn't lead to an accident and as long as they keep the fleet to 600 cars then yeah, the accident rate will be much lower than Tesla's AutoPilot, shipped in more than a million cars.

My point is not to rag on Waymo just to inject some reality.

We don't have a choice between "safe and unsafe" way of developing self-driving software.

We have a choice between "test software we know can't handle all situation on real roads and make it better based on that testing" or "we'll never have self-driving software".

Except the other option will rather be: "U.S. doesn't allow testing of self-driving software on real roads and a Chinese company will develop it and will capture a trillion-dollar market in U.S."
I wouldn't mind the electric powertrain but the giant ipad display and gadgets would piss me off. I don't want the distractions. My ideal anti-tesla could include advanced safety features and driver assistance as long as they stay out of the way and enhance the driving experience rather than replace it. If people don't want to drive they should take public transport.
We think women being paid less is a terrible problem, just not so terrible a problem that we'd consider paying them more.
without altering or stretching the definition of the word even in the slightest.

The word "pain" has the concept of the mental experience of suffering pretty much baked in to it. Applying it to plants seems to very much stretch the definition when there is literally no biological structure in plants that corresponds to the neural activity organisms with a CNS when experiencing pain. An electrical pulse isn't really sufficient: plants send electric signals under a variety of circumstances.

Pain isn't merely a response to negative stimuli. That does stretch the definition.
Try searching for EFEO (École française d'extrême Orient) transcriptions instead. That system was made for French sprakers and the resulting pronunciation should be somewhat understandable by a native. I wish that system would have been kept in use for education (a least in the beginning) because badly pronunced pinyin cause mistakes that stick for years in learners.
Works for cable internet, too, if there’s more than one provider in your neighborhood.
This is definitely very interesting! Have you given any thought to support compiling with emscripten?

Okay, that might sound ridiculous, given that one could just load three.js directly in the browser. But moving the internal representation of (and operations on) the scene graph and objects from JavaScript to WASM could potentially give significant performance boosts, especially for real-time/interactive applications running in browsers on mobile/low-end devices.
That's true, but it was heavily hand assembled with a pretty terrible design that doesn't seem like it could have been sustainable. They only built about 2,500 units over 4 years and cancelled it when they finally got their first sedan into production.

I'm not sure that this was actually better than the Rivian scenario, since Rivian actually has a van, truck, and a large SUV in the early stages of production during their first year. Its a pretty ambitious move, tbh.

Of course, Rivian has the advantage of being a second mover. Tesla had to work a lot harder to get the batteries sorted out back in 2007.
Agreed. I never said that no-money would work at the scale our modern society is used to working at. I brought up the idea that smaller scale societies have functioned without money, though.

My thinking is that lack of money wouldn't stop the dishes from being washed, but would stop bigger projects.
PHP (and old languages in general) are full of ASCII-only English-centric assumptions. I think both functions are now considered deprecated since we have even more variations like mysqli_real_escape_string (or just use PDO with bound params).
I've been at two sizable (publicly traded, Fortune 300) companies where this has been documented in both Slack and Email. And I just facepalm wondering how management can be so ignorant of the law.

To be fair prepared statements happen at the RDBMS. PDO is just a library to interface with that. It can't compile a query execution plan without knowing the table and columns involved. So dynamic tables or columns as variables doesn't make sense so you need to handle that outside the prepared statement as it doesn't belong there.
Wasp – A programming language that understands what a web app is
A capitalist has no need of believing capitalism is a good way to manage "our lives". The capitalist simply acts in their own self-interest. I think Karl Marx and Ludwig Von Mises would agree on this. Marx would consider the system evil, Mises would consider it good. But neither would consider it "faith based".
>Every car is capable of doing this; every car is one transmission / differential / electric motor lockup away from stopping its drive wheels immediately.

yeah, but these risks of mechanical lockup are usually better mitigated against because they're an understood risk.

Driveshaft lockups can occur, generally because an appliance on either side of them failed -- certain manufacturers mitigate this by very simply using mechanisms that are unlikely to ever break, and some manufacturers go an extra step and use BreakBolt style fasteners that will destroy themselves in the event of a lockup that torques them harshly.

An engine seize event doesn't stall or stop a vehicle that uses a CVT (most low-end 'automatic' cars on the market), it just creates additional engine braking pressure -- and before CVTs were in common use we used traditional torque converter automatics that failed similarly.. this is one of the major features of a hydro-mechanical linkage element like a torque converter.

Many CV axle designs now incorporate straps to limit movement during a failure, to prevent wheel lock or steering lock.

New style manuals can automatically engage the clutch during an engine seize event, limiting the physical reaction from the car during the event.

Shit still happens, wheel locks are uncommon but they still exist; but I think it's safe to say that people are waiting to hear what Tesla's engineering answer will be to the whole 'suddenly-stopped-car' problem.
I dont understand where does your claim come from that the users were already readers of the blog before seeing it on Facebook.

It says in the article that once facebook promotions were gone, people were not able to find the content, so much so, that they would reach out to the blog years after- to asked if the blog still operates... that sounds to me like facebook identifying new core audience for the blog. Which is a great service done by an ads company.
This may be also driven by more people (in this case men) watching when women athletes wear more revealing stuff? It would be strange if event organizers did something that hurt their bottomline.
For practical purposes you are wrong. In any given city 4 door locks is about right. There are padlocks and other types of lock, but the subject here is door locks in one location so4 is close enough and was the truth in the US where my grandparents grew up.

Until not long ago all locks were bad
> If you're using PDO directly in 2021, you're absolutely doing it wrong.

This is somewhat the point. If using the language's standard libraries is "absolutely doing it wrong", that's an indictment of the language.

> Most companies in this industry, thankfully, seem to be moving carefully and rolling out their products conservatively;

Having used other products, I think this is objectively not true. I've seen "Pro" pilot accelerate itself into its own collision warning and randomly fail at basic curves.

I've seen video of Ford Copilot failing due to glare and jerking toward trees.

For some reason, Tesla just gets more attention. Some of the other beta-like behaviors are actually worse.
I don’t believe in historical accidents. We “ended up” with set theory because it’s an incredibly rich system that has powered almost every important mathematical discovery in the last 150 years.

We use it because it is the most effective tool for formal reasoning that human beings have ever come up with. The fact that it has limitations, especially in the new world of computation, does not take away its utility.

To me, sets seem like the much more foundational idea, since types were only suggested as a fix for Russell’s paradox. Almost all math can be done without ever running into the limitations of Russel’s paradox, so I look at type theory as more of an evolution of the understanding of sets than anything else.
> they seem to support the idea it can travel through dangerous flooded waters

That's just a bold faced lie.

That twitter account is just some dude, not Tesla.

Furthermore it's not some staged ad.

It really happened. A Chinese Tesla owner was able to drive through dangerous flooded waters, happened to record it and posted it on social media.

Then someone re-tweeted it.

What exactly do you object to in that sequence of events?
How about actually passing some basic tests before they're deployed?

(Warning: unnecessarily loud video for some reason): https://twitter.com/finance_degen/status/1307529357951467531

Lets start with passing these basic tests before selling them as working features. I don't think we're asking for a very high bar.
I did one of those last October[1] (probably too long, but it was my first one). I need to get in the habit of doing them more regularly, but I don't make enough progress to do one every week right now. I have been meaning to do another for the past four months and been putting it off though.

Everything has limitations. I deeply trust the system that has served us extremely well over the last 150 years.

Usually because the pop-description is, as usual, misleading. People find data covering "several orders of magnitude" and just assume by some cosmic fact that Benford's law should apply, despite the mechanics being their data having no reason to imply that the law holds.
>It's a sliding scale. Flirting and poetry is way over on the far left with the agile manifesto. Scrum is further to the right. Legalese is further still to the right. Math further still. It's fairly self-evident that the level of specificity required in the language used varies depending on the task. Being too specific when you flirt is common sitcom grist and nobody's ever made poetry out of a shopping list.

Beautifully said, you have a way with words!
This is all written in terms of future capabilities of the system that it doesn’t have today, but that’s extremely unclear to many people who buy Tesla’s.
"Programming from first principles" doesn't solve security problems, in fact security problems in this case come from being ignorant of best practices and industry experiences. You would _want_ programmers to use established techniques to avoid this problem. Of course developers should always understand what their code is doing though.
I am anti-car and it has nothing to do with drivers - it has to do with infrastructure. Our cities are designed for cars, multi-ton machines the favored entity in a sea of squishy humans. I think this sets us all up to be in conflict, to force us to protect ourselves and it brings out the worst in us.
> We have a choice between "test software we know can't handle all situation on real roads and make it better based on that testing" or "we'll never have self-driving software".

This is like saying that we'll never have a cure for cancer if we can't experiment on the public without their consent.

The bar for medication, at least, is proving safety first before testing on large amounts of people and allowing the public to buy it.
I'm genuinely curious: what does US democracy have to do with Assange?

Like I'm deeply sympathetic to what has happened to Assange. But I don't see how it has anything to do with democracy, given that he's not a US citizen, and US law rarely applies to non-US citizens outside of US borders.
Tesla gets more attention because their CEO keeps promising the world[1] and selling these features as "Full Self Driving" instead of "Copilot".

Is it too hopeful to think that it won't take a lot of human blood sacrifice to get there?

Is it cynical for me to think that if it does require human blood, then maybe I don't want to go down that research path -- and at best I don't want to be in the testing group?
If you call it a "whim" if I point out that the latest version of the Signal server is proprietary software most of the time then so be it.

Or maybe you are referring to the other commenters who were entitled to expect that the one critical task of a crypto messenger is ensuring the confidentiality of communication, which has been broken by this bug (and at least one similar bug before it, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/7909 ).

You can both be grateful that Signal is free and at the same time call out shenanigans of its owners. Just saying.
“The Secret Life of Trees” was a seminal book in this field, but not a research paper
Inside the Tesla community, we all know this is by far the worst thing about autopilot and by far the most dangerous.

Outside the community, we get frustrated by silly debates about lane centering and other FSD-like features that actually work pretty well. Sigh...

I think the mistake you are doing is that these are primarily titles. It does not 100% correspond to what they actually do particularly at C level.

Yikes, private equity strikes again!
Totally bad take. A frequently-touted bioethics claim is that it is the individual taking the risk, so the individual's benefit and outcomes is what matters. Any call for "civic duty" is a violation of bioethics.

Further, if anything about the vaccine push made any sense whatsoever, you might have a better case during these "exigent" circumstances. For instance, insisting people who've already recovered from covid and have robust, longer-lasting immunity also get vaccinated... That should make everyone's eyebrow raise up to heaven. And, since I personally note that strangely aggressive angle, among many others, it makes me even more suspicious of these vaccines.

Then again, I'm healthy, young, get plenty of vitamin D, and have close to zero risk of catching or transmitting covid. So anyone telling me vaccines make sense for me is pretty out-of-touch.
Some plants even leak delicious fluids that encourage more cuts (maple trees)
So the claim is that people fear flammable refrigerants because a 1940s fire was blamed on flammable refrigerants by a single researcher in the 1990s contrary to the original reports half a century prior? That is an extraordinary claim, and frankly one that seems quite implausible.

I’d need to see any evidence whatsoever that people’s preferences here are driven by reports of fires like this. Honestly, I’d be surprised if most people are even aware of anything about the refrigerants used other than the fact that Freon is bad for the ozone layer. My chest freezer has a giant “uses propane” sticker on the side and the flammability of that never even crossed my mind, to be honest.

Also, complaining about down votes will always get you more downvotes.
"Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but it looks like it is a PHP specific problem. Python does not have it."

You can concatenate a sql query just fine in Python anyway you want. Adding a sql injection is just as easy in Python, PHP, or lisp. Thus this is a choice. Nothing to do with a language. Language bashing is gross and spreads lies. And yes, you can bind an array of params in PHP.

Yes, you can, that’s called traffic aware cruise control (TACC), and is activated with a single pull on the stick. TACC absolutely does exactly what is mentioned in this article - it suffers from phantom braking where it hauls the car to a stop suddenly in the middle of the highway. Yes, other cars with radar cruise control don’t seem to do this.
Because it generally works really well, and most of the phantom braking is generally 5-10 mph drops that aren't as dramatic as the on in the forum post being referenced.
And Reddit is usually on the more "enlightened" end on such topics, at least used to be.

Ask some random person on the street about Assange and the best they can come up with is probably something about fleeing from the Swedish police for rape, something Russian agent, maybe something about how he treats his cat horribly or doesn't clean his toilet properly.

Presumably hydrogen peroxide does not taste good to caterpillars.
Indeed. When I worked with a partner in Asia I asked how to pronounced “Ng” because I heard it said a few different ways (different from the US version of “ing”). Turns out they are all correct, just different dialects.
Tactics are a measure of who knows at what time to put out how many watts per kilo.

What happens in road racing is politics. Domestiques grouping up at a leisurely pace to finish a climb stage just under the time limit, celebrities holding the team car by a sticky water bottle to catch back up to the group that dropped them, taking it easy for the first part of the race until a race leader says "let's go", and not attacking while someone important stops to pee, when their extra-efficient, extra-fragile tires puncture, or they get tired and downshift at a bad time and drop a chain or something.

I understand that being 1% faster in a sport where your opponent can save 33% of his energy by drafting doesn't make a win a sure thing. But cyclists have spent a century drafting ever more unusual unwritten rules and it's become more about the politics than the pedaling.
Okay, I am for making most cities pedestrian and bike-only zones with exceptions for delivery vehicles and carefully isolated motor vehicle routes.

One could argue that Facebook did a "did a great job showing the blog to the relevant people" years ago, before they implemented boosting (although my intuition is that it was mostly the other way around, most of our Likes were from fans of our site who subsequently liked our page). But even if that argument holds water, all of the water leaks out at the introduction of Boosting, where they began withholding our content from people who asked to see it.

From what I've heard, it sounds like homes are actually selling over these Zestimates still.

Also, comparing the zestimate for our house to what other homes are actually selling for are pretty comparable. I think what you're saying might be true for some markets, but I don't think it's deliberate. Zillow's been around for a while, and those Zestimates didn't used to be anywhere near as high as they jumped this past year.

Also, the Zestimates actually seemed to be a lagging indicator for last year, like they went up more slowly than the sold house prices (I was watching mine 2-3 times a month out of curiosity, although that's just one anecdote).
The problem is that "a few years" is way too optimistic. Fully autonomous driving requires a level of situational awareness that computers can't yet touch. Everybody looks at the progress we've made so far and assumes it will continue at the same pace until all the problems are gone, but I don't see how that's possible. It's like assuming Moore's Law would have given us 10Ghz processors by now.
