Damage to the roadbed is proportional to the 4th power of the axle load of the vehicle. This means that if you double the weight on an axle, your vehicle does sixteen times the damage to the road.

In short, trucks do far more damage than the delta between light vehicles. A single class for light vehicles, and another for semis, buses, fire trucks, UPS trucks, FedEx trucks, bucket trucks, etc ("big trucks"), would be enough for proportional capture of revenue for the O&M expenses incurred. This is to fund road infrastructure. If you want to discourage combustion vehicles, use a carbon tax on fuel (per gallon/liter dispensed). That neatly segregates the concerns and encourages responsible behavior with both pools of funds collected. Otherwise, it's just one big ol' slushy fund.

(sidenote: speaking only for Tesla, it would be trivial to create an OAuth scope to mileage data for each vehicle based on their API structure)
It’s next to impossible to actually get into the country at this point in any case. The whole of Australia is only allowing in 1500 people per week into hotel quarantine - a drop from over 3000 heavily lobbied for by the QLD premier who went to the olympics and then thought that she deserved one of the 214 places per day for the whole country more than one of the tens of thousands of Australians who are desperate to get home at the moment.

Meanwhile as mentioned in other comments we are letting in celebrities and sports players - we hosted the bloody tennis early this year and recently in Melbourne there were multiple large sporting events with international teams - why the hell are the government allowing these players to take valuable spots? Not to mention we come out of a serious lockdown and then they immediately allow 20-80 THOUSAND people to go to the stadiums… where there were several covid transmissions.

Screw this countries leadership. I’m in a long distance relationship with someone overseas and there is zero consideration for the severe mental health impacts that this has had on myself and my partner, and zero response to the thousands of other people in a situation similar to mine, or that of people with sick relatives, be it if they need to leave Australia to visit or non Australians arriving into the country.
Just one reason why I hate this country and it’s absolutely moronic conservative government filled with literal rapists, Hillsong religious nut jobs, homophobes, bigots, and people who funnel our wealth directly into the pockets of billionaires.

(1) I'm a bit frustrated, as a true Apple "bitch", at the irony here. As a loyal consumer, I am (likely) never going to be privileged enough to know exactly which part of Apple's budget allowed for this implementation to occur. I can only assume that such data would speak volumes as to _why_ the decision to introduce CSAM this way has come to light.

(2) I'm equally intrigued by the paradox that in order for the algorithms that perform the CSAM detection to work, it must require some data set that represents these reprehensible images (which are illegal to possess).
> Anything "think of children" always has a second order affect of damaging queer people because lots of people still think of queerness as dangerous to children.

For example, YouTube does this with some LGBT content. YouTube has demonitized LGBT content and placed it in restricted mode, which screens for "potentially mature" content[1][2].

YouTube also shadowbans the content[1], preventing it from showing up in search results at all.

From here[1]:

> Filmmaker Sal Bardo started noticing something strange: the views for his short film Sam, which tells the story of a transgender child, had started dipping. Confused, he looked at the other videos on his channel. All but one of them had been placed in restricted mode — an optional mode that screens “potentially mature” content — without YouTube informing him. In July of that year, most of them were also demonetized. One of the videos that had been restricted was a trailer for one of his short films; another was an It Gets Better video aimed at LGBTQ youth. Sam had been shadow-banned, meaning that users couldn’t search for it on YouTube. None of the videos were sexually explicit or profane.

There are more examples like that here[2].

Also, read Terms of Service carefully. One of my providers explicitly said something like: "Users may not run any type of server on the system, which includes but not limited to <a bunch of different protocols>". They require to upgrade a plan to Business or something like that which was more expensive.
Would something like this be a good use case for copilot / gpt based coding? You have massive specs in relatively structured documents, which could be used in isolated parses as prompts. The particular tuning of the model shouldn't matter if the source specifications and good examples are in the training data already.

Use few shot prompts with well put together examples, then iterating over every item in the specs, and finally running the generated code through a human review process - seems like you could shift a lot of effort towards validation, and in doubt so, devise a process subject to further automation.

Crawling the resulting codebase with various prompts like "this part of the specification could be improved by..." and then review a set of 20 completions for any real value.

This might work for xml,html, and so forth, but even if you only have a system that generates a baseline library for one standard, it could be powerful.

Thanks for mentioning PASETO. It looks good, except that it doesn't have a standard way of specifying expiration like JWT. But at least it's easy and safe to roll your own implementation of that part. Edit: My mistake; it's just the Elixir implementation of PASETO that doesn't support expiration.
Safety is also largely on the honor system. Not much to stop idiocy on the roads.

Now, you have legal recourse against local actors. That keeps a lot of folks acting well. But "trusting trust" is a chain that ultimately perpetuates itself.

I'm sure this will be replacing the gas tax, not in addition to it. /s

In actuality I do believe there should be a "fair" way for EVs (which I think this tax is probably targeting, as they currently do not pay gas taxes which are supposed to aid in roadway repair) to pay "their share" of roadway maintenance burden. Gas sales tax happened to work out quite neatly because it was a) proportional to the amount of use of the vehicle(s) and b) encouraged further and further efficient vehicle use, but there's no 1:1 parity for EVs.

Personally I wouldn't object to some level of vendor integration where the car itself reported its mileage on a yearly basis for tax purposes and then was billed as part of your yearly registration fee.
I'm not talking about a virus. People running the program would know what it did. I also don't think it's illegal to write virus or denial of service software. Maybe it's different in your jurisdiction - but I'd be surprised. I've written load test tools that could have been easily repurposed for denial of service. Would that be a crime where you live?

Even if it were illegal, which, I don't think it is, that might only be a reason against going it. Many protests involve illegal actions.

The rumors about ARM Mac Pro say it'll have a big Apple GPU. If they were going to keep doing the discrete GPU thing, I'd expect the integrated GPU to be more barebones.

Though given that they just made a big deal about releasing an expandable Mac pro I'd be somewhat surprised if they dropped support for discrete GPUs. I know people use other types of add-in cards but it's a large portion. Maybe discrete Apple GPUs?

Can you share evidence for this? I have read that semi trucks cause the majority of road wear and tear damage but haven’t seen a specific mathematical relationship like this before.

Mostly yes. But the SAML spec itself also has too many degrees of freedom, which just means too many potential bugs. SAML could get rid of 90% of the spec and still support 99% of what it is used for, while having way less security pitfalls.

The future directions they mention also sound really exciting. Seeing files that cause a lot of CI failures, files by # of authors, files by # of changes, all that stuff would be really cool.

Comprehension of the details of a security standard is necessary for semantically correct and secure implementation of that security standard.

I can't personally fathom how throwing GPT at the problem will improve things, but I can trivially see how it could result in code that looks correct to the author but isn't to anyone who read the spec. Maybe that's a failure of imagination on my part.

Then again, I suppose that's the situation we're already in where well-meaning authors don't think to actually read the specs and so don't actually comprehend any of the details.

When I write programming languages, I usually define primitives as "any value without children". Strings, numbers, booleans, are primitives. Collections and records are not.

Some edge cases: literal ranges would be primitives, because their ast is represented (in Haskell) as "Range Int Int". Ranges which take values wouldn't be primitives, because their ast is represented as "Range expr expr"

They've been chasing Chrome's market share for so long they forgot the reasons they ever gained market share in the first place. Except nowadays with a 3.5% market share it's less "chasing Chrome" and more "dragging their balls through a mile of broken glass to hear Chrome fart through a walkie-talkie."

They could've kept ten percent forever if they didn't forsake the things that made Firefox great in the first place and the people who loved them for it. Now they've thrown that away and along with it any chance to avoid irrelevancy and extinction.
And it's not just YouTube. Most platforms are at least partially guilty of this.

A. The per capita approximation means the whole world has to be brought at third world status.

At projected 2050 population levels of 10b, and 25GT/year emissions, per capita emissions allowance is 2.5t/year. There is no industrialized country with this level of emissions, the lowest being Sweden, Switzerland and France at 4.5, 4.7 and 5.13. These countries have moved >90% of their electrical production to nuclear and renewables and cut their emissions in half compared to the 1990s. Possibly they are also externalizing their food and industrials production.

B. What is 'fair' share? Population as of 2020? 2050? 1950? Land area? Forest mass?

The most obvious issue is population. Hard to believe, but in 1950, at the beginning of the current Golden Era, world population was a mere 2.5 billion people. At those population levels everybody on Earth could have had afforded the industrialized lifestyle of Japan, Germany or Netherlands, with about 10 CO2t/capita emissions.

Not to nitpick here, but there is no way any device you buy from Verizon is discounted, regardless of what they advertise. Everyone pays _full_ price for any device they get on contract or payment plan.

Back when contract pricing was a more regular thing, I ended up doing the math on the plan rate after I requested for the device contract subsidy to be removed as I didn't want to upgrade the device. I had a Droid DNA at the time.

The monthly rate dropped by $25 just to keep the same device. (Nevermind that I had to ASK for them to not continue to charge me the extra $25/mo after 2 years)

$25 a month for 24 months is $600.

The device on contract was $199.

Full retail price if you didn't opt in for a 2 year contract when getting it? $699.

So I ended up paying an extra $100 for the device than if I had just bought it outright.

Even if the offerings/terms are different now... Verizon, regardless of how they market anything, absolutely makes you pay full price (and then some) for the device you get at 'discount.'

It's funny now that we're seeing people being able to BYOD to Verizon these days and AT&T is the one engaging in aggressive whitelisting.
The main point of the article seems to be that reducing attack surfaces, by corporate policy, doesn't actually work.

This is an interesting viewpoint.

"It seems Apple users enjoy the "power" Apple has over us." --> Absolutely yes. But it just goes back to my main point - I am unable to vet app developers. And even if I do, there is no way to ensure data is handled well long-term. What if Facebook makes you an offer you can't resist?

Basically, I have had many experiences with developers abusing my information. Now I have someone fighting back for me (don't get me wrong, I'm not an idiot. I know they are doing it because I pay them an obscene amount of money).

The way to convince people is for developers, as a whole, to behave responsibly. If developers had never abused my information, I'd likely have no issues ever giving them some of my information.

Edit: I'd just like to say again that I am in no way saying that you are doing anything bad. You seem like a good fellow. And perhaps the curse of being one of the few good people in a room of bad people.
Stallman predicted this and more: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html

Of course, his suggested solution of open-source didn't quite work out --- because even with the source available, you're still enslaved by things like Secure Boot and other cryptographic jails; and on the other hand, as evidenced by the long history of the cracking scene, and Windows modding in general, not having the source is no big obstacle as long as you can still arbitrarily change any bit. Perhaps what is truly important to software freedom is not "right to read (the source)", but "right to write (anything)".

>Can you imagine a football team half remote / half on the field?

On gameday several members of the coaching staff for football teams are in skyboxes in the stadium removed from the players and coaches on the field. That is because they prefer to have an aerial view that allows them to see the game better. It works better for them and therefore it works better for the team. Your analogy doesn't provide the obvious answer you think it does.
Yeah there is no agreed upon terminology. I'm not an expert but I suspect that GPU architecture is very diverse compared to other types of processor architectures, so maybe the diverse terminology is not just because of marketing - but then again marketing is certainly a big factor.

SQL Server and Oracle are also fantastic software. There may not be any good reason to use them today for a new product, but they're far from obsolete.

Oracle has a lot of advanced functionality that no other RDBMS really has, and I do hit sharp edges of PG (especially in unexpected query planning decisions) more than I do in SQL Server.

And, as much as I hate MySQL, I have a few instances that are approaching 10 years old with billions of records that have almost never needed query optimization. I just added indices in logical places and they just work somehow.
I like self checkouts. But I also think there should be a law that all these huge stores must staff every checkout line that they build, every hour they are open for business. That would be a job-creation bill.

Years ago, I used to work a late shift, and go to a supermarket in the middle of the night that was open 24-hours. There wouldn't be a lot of customers, but there would predictably be a few, of which a couple would be buying a month's worth of groceries. And there would always be exactly one register open, and all the self-checkouts inactive.

I'm sure management didn't care if people had to wait half an hour, because they figure if you're going to go to the store in the middle of the night, you'll put up with the wait, and they don't want to pay people extra for the night shift.
