Sure, but your experience doesn't really tell us about the overall safety of the system. How many total miles have been driven by people using a Comma system? The front page of their website says "millions", which is several orders of magnitude less than Tesla Autopilot (several billion miles at this point).

Given that in the US there is around 1 fatality per 100 million miles driven, I don't think "millions" of miles driven with Comma is anywhere near enough to say anything about its safety record.
> The only people who worry about an axis of collaboration between corporations and government to create a surveillance distopia are conspiracy theorists pushing misinformation now.

The president of the United States proudly admitted to alerting Facebook to "problematic" accounts just last week. Maybe that's justified, or isn't in service of a "surveillance dystopia", but the best light is "collaboration" between the largest corporations and the government. It's certainly going on, and that's not a conspiracy theory.

Also, corporations are government - they quite literally are often the same people, having their hands in government agencies and institutions before cashing out in the private sector. Practically everyone at one point or another is thinking about their next job, so it's hard to argue the folks in the highest positions in society aren't.

> Kidding, not kidding. We should really look at what these companies are pushing.

Now you're confusing me a bit - but if this is your actual position, I agree.
Imagining the Future of “Code Blue”
The bad behavior has been happening at Blizzard / Activision for a lot longer than three years. The only reason their reputation didn't collapse sooner is no one took the complaints seriously enough to investigate earlier.

(FWIW the Activision merger happened way back in late 2007. I don't know if the harassment predates that, but several old school Blizzard leaders are implicated.)

This is good news. This report used to take several days to receive as I assume it had human steps involved. I'm guessing they fully automated it now.

Since the report used to take so long, I created a chrome extension to scrape my orders page and send it to my budgeting app. But then they took the total price away from the page which was so frustrating![1]. But I just looked and they put the total back. Yay! So now either my extension or this csv can get me the data I need. Thanks Amazon, I honestly thought you were making this hard on purpose. Glad to see I was just being pessimistic.

> Rama has ten mangoes with which he wants to earn fifteen annas. Krishna wants only four mangoes. How much will Krishna have to pay?

If Rama has a transactional perspective on business and has the local monopoly on mangoes, and Krishna really needs mangoes right now and will accept no substitute, Krishna might have to pay fifteen annas for four mangoes. Or maybe one hundred annas per mango. Or one thousand. Is there any limit?

If there are competing mango vendors who are offering five mangoes for five annas, Rama may have difficulty convincing Krishna to pay more than four annas for four mangoes.

If Rama expects that competing mango vendors will run out of stock early, but some customers are likely to still come toward the end of the day, Rama's price per mango may depend upon the time of day - it may remain quite high throughout the day compared to other vendors and perhaps only drop if Rama fears ending the day without selling all the stock.

Actually, yes. Blizzard had an unbelievable amount of goodwill and reputation built up over the years and in any case, these kinds of changes do not happen overnight.

Snow White is white in the story itself - "skin as white as snow". It's a "historic" fairytale set in northern europe, where people are white. It has many adaptations, where they keep to the canon, and she's... well, white as snow. It's literally in the title.

Snow white has "skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony". Even if she stays white, if the actress was blonde, that would bother me... she's not Snow White anymore.

I know this page is very american-centric, but snow white was one of the stories most of us here in europe read (or listened to our parents read) as kids, and we all remember the story, and the image of Snow White, we've all built in our heads.
People tend to predict simple technological substitutes for human tasks rather than novel things. I suspect we won't get artificial humans because we'll end up not actually wanting that and getting something better instead. Just like we got cars instead of artificial horses.

I'm not sure what there is to say here's other than that people need to realize that their worldviews are not universal. What you think it's fair and just is something that other people earnestly think are racist. People who support keeping the test also get consistently called racist.

We can argue about semantics all day, but ultimately it's a change away from a race-agnostic admissions process. Plenty of people do earnestly believe that to be racist.

Another "crazy" idea: I'd like the compiler to reformat code to match strict style conventions.

Why? Sometimes there's no "right" style. Sometimes novices need training wheels. In the long run, style doesn't matter, but in big projects code is easier to read when style is consistent. It's also easier to onboard when code follows industry-standard styles.

Would it be better when a language gently pushes everyone to the same style?
Yeah, that's why I couched my critique a little bit: I have no insight whatsoever into the commercial side of this and, for all I know, it could be even worse!

This doesn't seem to pass the sniff test for me.

The six they list doesn't include YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc where a huge amount of media is consumed.

And would they count YouTube as "one" outlet? I would argue I have greater choice of amongst YouTube creators than I ever did compared to, say ABC, in 1983.

The analysis also seems flawed in that they evaluate movies based on box office sales. Which excludes giants like Netflix?

Apple's dev tools did come with one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Programmer%27s_Works...

"The MPW Shell command language was based on the Unix csh language, but was extended to support the main features of the Macintosh GUI. It had simple commands to create menus, dialogs (prompts), and new shell windows. The cursor could be controlled, and MPW scripts or tools could easily be attached to a menu item. Command key shortcuts could be specified. Window size and location could be controlled. These features were popular in commercial production environments, where complicated build and packaging processes were all controlled by elaborate scripts."
I think a big barrier to adoption here is that your Android phone most likely won't kill you if it has a bad bug[0].

Comma almost certainly won't get widespread adoption until it has enough miles driven on it (at least a billion?) for people to have enough data to start talking about its safety record. So that means it'll be stuck in the realm of enthusiasts for quite a long time.

If it does prove itself, though, I agree with you that it could be a game-changer for people who have recent enough cars to be supported, but not have their own driver-assist systems. And that's probably a lot of cars, and a lot of people.

It's not just better. It's shipping. I've done that, since I was 24 years old. I literally have the manual that I wrote, accompanying the first professional engineering project that I did, after my first promotion to a salaried engineer, from a bench tech.

When I read it, I am impressed, and it was done in 1987. It was an internal tool, that was used to test defense tech. I treated the project as if it was being delivered to the field, and lives depended on it. It was that much of an Honor for me to have the chance to do that work.

I am a high school dropout. I got a GED, and had to fight for everything I got. That means that I valued everything, and never treated it as "my due."

Every job that I have ever had, has been a Signal Honor. It has been a privilege, and a chance to learn more, and push my boundaries. Every team that I ever joined, was composed of people that were better than me, and had something to teach me. It was always an Honor to be admitted to their ranks.

I understood, from my very first assignment, that I needed to ship.

Shipping is what makes money. Shipping is what builds brands. Shipping is what the customer wants and needs.

Everything else is just a low SNR.

That's why I have always treated every single one of my projects as if it were a gift, given to me, and one that needs to be treated with Respect, Honor and Dignity. It needs to be done well, and it needs to be finished. I consider myself to be a craftsman, as well as an engineer. I won't design garbage, and I don’t want my work to be treated as garbage[0] (if I have any say in it -which has not always been the case).

I know that attitude sounds over-dramatic, ridiculous, and anachronistic, but it's the one I have. I'm not looking for work. I don't really have an investment in what people think about that, anymore. The people that matter, know me, and they know my work.

What was the original paper referenced in the article? I couldn’t find a link or title. I remember being in France and being with some researchers working in the CRDT space and am wondering if I might know the authors
The figure of 1.5 tonnes you gave for China only looks at direct household energy consumption sources (I.e fuel, heating and electricity). It’s not at all comparable to the German paper.

The figure of 1.7 tonnes is only for household consumption figures from 2011. China’s economy (and emissions) has grown enormously in the last 10 years.

These aren’t fair comparisons based on recent data, and they only look at household consumption.

And I’d maintain that China bares responsibility for its industrial development and energy mix choices. No one has forced those choices on China. China has pursued those policies with the aim of increasing export competitiveness, often at the cost of manufactures in western nations.
Doubtless the knee jerk response will be to advocate for increased corporate regulation, which is precisely what has stifled competition in the market and created this oligopoly in the first place.
Are you making an assumption that it was fertilizer as a product? A lower grade AN.

YouTube/IG/etc are not media creators per se, just aggregators. Thus, not including them on that list makes perfect sense to me.
I look at it like this: a murder is plausible because there were definitely some powerful people who wanted him dead. But for a murder or a hit to have happened there'd need to be a whole slew of extremely difficult tasks to set it up and leave zero trace. Also, it's thoroughly plausible that he killed himself and it would have been really easy to do it without any complicated plot. Occam's Razor says suicide.

> Comma’s excuse for why you shouldn’t be concerned is that both Open Pilot and the cars themselves have limits against erratic movements.

Are these limits baked into the cars at some level beneath Comma, or do they rely on the same physical layers and networks? It makes perfect sense to me that the car has its own limits; my concern is that installing Comma takes the car outside of its expected operating parameters and that I have no real way of verifying whether those limits are still in place.
That can’t handle file creation after the command is run, though, right?

None of whom are major producers of their own content. They're just floating user-generated content and content from the corporations mentioned in the OP.
Very good, and I'll add the "denominator problem."

Whenever you take an average, you divide by some count. What you choose to count matters, and people can disagree about what belongs in this set. It's often a judgement call.

For example, just recently there was a study of vaccine effectiveness in Israel and it appears they made a mistake about the denominator. (Or did they?)

Exactly right. The 90% number is nonsense. Customers have more choice than ever.

I could start a media company tomorrow and everyone could watch/read/listen to it. Creating content has never been easier than it is today. Distributing content has never been easier than it is today. Creating a big audience has never been easier than it is today. The idea that these companies have "control" is laughable.

note I'm not suggesting creating great content or building an audience is easy per se. I'm just saying it's never been easier for a random person. About the only people for who the media business has become more difficult is... existing large media companies who used to control distribution via cable, tv licenses etc.

The word professionally or professionalism are weasel words that don't hold up to scrutiny. Competence is necessary by every definition I found, so how, exactly, are you going to determine competence? By my measure everyone in management at Blizzard should be immediately terminated for lacking professionalism.

That presumes everyone agrees to the same standard of professionalism, which isn't true, not even slightly.

And unlike the real Old Space companies BlueOrigin doesn't have lots of military contract or a airplane business to actually make money.
