Of course there are. Drones can fly given waypoints and return to base. Hell, even consumer quadcopters can do this.
You should not mix up the current "autopilot" with the software used in the "full self driving" software package. The traditional autopilot used mostly radar, which is known to not work well with non-moving obstactles. As radar has not much spatial resolution, it relies on the doppler effect to separate moving obstacles (slower cars) from the background, which could be anything, from a stopped car to trees or bridges at the road side.

The FSD software package so far has been rolled out as a beta only, to a few selected users. It is based on vision entriely and aims to properly identify everything on the road. The solid obstacles have all been hit by the previous auto pilot version. In the new cars currently sold, the radar has been replaced by a pure vision implementation close to the FSD software, so it remains to be seen which level of safety can be achieved with that.
Yes, pre-tax income is also different, even if you use "pre-tax" in the broadest sense (cost per employee, but without expenses like office space that happen to scale worth employee count but are not related at all to the contract). But if you look at cost per employee you still see much higher numbers in the US, that's what you were talking about, right?

I think the explanation is that the US simply has enough global dominators in their field (e.g. Google basically eating up the non-Chinese ad market over the whole range from local business directories to the brand awareness stuff that used to make TV stations a big business) that they define the market, pulling up the bids of weaker bidders, whereas in other places outliers looks ASML are so much of an exception that the bids they need to get whoever they want hardly influences market rate.
Everyone dismissing the Taliban as unsophisticated is in for a rude awakening. It's easy and self-affirming to say they're backwards mountain men. The hubris of the west is maybe its greatest weakness.

Can you imagine being wrongly imprisoned for a week and wondering if you'll ever get out? Living with the fear of something happening to you in an unknown and potentially unsafe environment?

This has no basis in numbers unfortunately.

World petroleum production is steadily increasing on a YoY basis, the only exception being the year with massive lockdowns world wide.

There are no signs production will wind down in the short term. There are speculation but so far demand has been indefatigable.
To answer questions so far (I'm the author of learnbhcs): yes, folks use BSD to host servers (if you want HTTP/2, there's nginx, etc.); kcgi interfaces with either CGI or FastCGI depending upon what the caller wants; yes, folks use this.
Yeah, I'm thinking of how the German navy while in Scapa Flow, scuttled their fleet. It's the most obvious thing in the world for an army on the run to do. But then you have to have command and control in the first place to do that.
> This is true for almost any random laptop, and has been since forever.

For sone random hp or whatever crappy netbook maybe yes, but you can’t compare a MacBook to that. There are good laptops that don’t have those problems, I haven’t run into any issues with my Thinkpad.
Especially if we consider over 50 000 patents Google holds. They even tried to patent ANS compression that was made free for everyone by Jarosław Duda.
And that’s why I’m asking, where would those better workplaces be? I’ve worked at quite a few companies at this point, and although it’s true that some teams are better than others, the general pattern has been that incentives are not well aligned in any company I’ve seen.

Any company with proper alignment of incentives would crush the majority of existing startups. But as I said, such a company won’t be funded.

The winners in the current economy are those with access to huge buckets of capital rather than those who can most effectively deploy that capital. And if they’re only competing against others with huge buckets of capital but not highly effective strategies, then they all compete at that same low level of strategy.

Imagine a situation where you have dozens of restaurants all run by people who are mediocre but semi competent chefs and mediocre but semi competent business people. Meanwhile you have great chefs and great business people working a few steps beneath them. And yet the first group has access to buckets of capital to start restaurants and hire people and the second group doesn’t have the right connections. That’s what the software industry looks like to me after a long time working in it.

No problem, start your own. Except the first group with access to buckets of capital will be able to advertise far more, keep prices cheaper, and so on, so you’ll be out competed in the marketplace despite better skills simply due to their access to huge amounts of money. Even if you are far more effective at deploying the smaller amount of capital you have.

You'd like to think that a GPU like the 3090FE would go through QC that include some sort of stress test. It would only take seconds to see the VRAM temps would be well out of spec.

Police doesn't care. It's also illegal to discriminate and you can technically call the police when people do it, but they either don't come or will question you instead. "What did you do that they would do this".

And don't let anyone fool you into thinking that this is an eastern Germany problem. I grew up in one of the largest cities in the West, don't come from africa and have been told to go back where I came from plenty of times(which is actually amusing considering my background), have been assaulted by security people, peppersprayed by elderly men, etc.

There are also some EU laws that actually make the random checks somewhat legal.

Don't forget that Germany is the place that happily called for solidarity with BLM movement by the same people that would call Chinese "ching chang chung" on national television. Sure they don't shoot you, but they will make sure you have as little upward mobility as possible.

A lot of Africans that I know, take the University education from Germany and then move the US or Canada when they get the chance. You will rarely see any people of colour in leadership positions in Germany, heck there are hardly even eastern Germans in leadership positions in publicly listed German companies.

As much as I dislike a lot of things about the US at least in the professional sense you are treated with respect if you're good at what you do.

EDIT: oh and if you want to see what Bavarian police thinks of immigrants maybe took a look at some of the drawings in the police calendar.

> This is true for almost any random laptop, and has been since forever.

Not this old trope again.

I haven’t had WiFi and sleep issues with Linux for at least a decade (I don’t use Bluetooth on laptops so can’t comment there). And I do use random laptops, including MBPs.

People seem to hold on to the same old arguments about Linux that were true back when XP was released but things have unsurprisingly moved on since then.
In large parts of the world the rules of said majority are that homosexual people are to be stoned to death. Is this really what you support?

The "majority" rule is a made up one, just like most rules.
That makes sense if you actually want to only cool one room. Otherwise, you may want to have doors open/close independently of your cooling needs.

I've spent some time trying to turn a portable AC unit into proper AC solution during the recent heatwaves over here in Poland, and the doors were a problem for me, not a solution. For example, I work in a study, and my wife continuously moves back and forth between kitchen and the living room. That's already 3 rooms to cool, 4 if you count the corridor (which shouldn't cause you a thermal shock every time you navigate it). Which doors are best closed or open depends on whether our kid is home. E.g. when she is at home, my study doors are closed, and I get to cook inside.

I'm on a rental now, so I can't duct the apartment the way I'd like (also the reason I bought a portable unit), but on the next apartment, I plan to either have a split system with a terminal in every room, or a duct system for supply air from the AC unit.

I understand that for large homes, some rooms may not see much use during the day - but in apartments, I can't imagine such a thing, unless you're living alone.
> Here’s how utterly clueless Speiser was about getting into bed with Facebook. In June 2016, he told The Wall Street Journal there was no reason for publishers to be nervous about Facebook:

It is funny to read someone who has advocated developing for iOS for a decade to say things like this with no irony.
The previous stance of some social media like FB was, that they do not need to delete all conversation, because they declare them as valuable content for other users, with whom a conversation was done, not as a content related to only one user, who sent a message.

I wonder how much more stays on FB and other social media, if Afghans request deletion of their account for FB and others. Is it an effective measure at all? How strong is the "right to be forgotten"?
Speak Japanese then.
That's only half of the trusting trust-attack though; the other half is being able to make the compiler compromise propagate itself, i.e. not just inserting any backdoor in compiled code, but inserting itself in any compiler built using the compromised tool.

And then there’s the fact that obesity is not an individual fault, it is caused by hormone disruptor chemicals in our environment and diet. Of course, higher consumption of more processed foods tends to increase obesity for this very reason: it increases the intake of hormone disruptors.
Even if you is selfhost google, facebook & co still have a big influence over the traffic you receive, so alhorithm changes still affect you.

For a book, other ways of advertising are effective, so you're reasonably independent. For news and other small pieces of content, it's much harder to avoid dependence on big aggregators.
My guess is they figure it's better to have a military industrial complex than letting the Taliban conquer the world.
Well, the problem is, like with proof in math, afterwards it is always obvious, if not inevitable.

Back when I was doing C# development I would use the Visual Studio debugger all the time and was pretty happy with it. When I moved to doing Clojure and ClojureScript I decided to learn emacs and stopped using a debugger until I learned about the debugger in Chrome when using clojurescript dev tools (it will allow you to set breakpoints in your ClojureScript source in the Chrome Developer Tools console).

My technique for debugging with Clojure + emacs was to use a bunch of print statements and then also using a repl to try and duplicate the issues or at least see what was going on. Less than a month ago I started using the CIDER debugger inside emacs and have been happy with it overall. There are some issues I have had, namely that you can't set breakpoints in macros which is understandable. I have gotten around that by creating a temporary function and move all the code into that function. The main use case I have for doing that is when trying to debug Compojure routes, which are defined in macros.

Their evil scheme currently seems to involve supporting better privacy and pointing out some fairly glaring flaws in the US Afghanistan strategy that really should have some repercussions. Perhaps you can find some common ground with them in that.
I would not put it past FB to cooperate with the Taliban to reveal private communication via Whatsapp to the Taliban. Then put forth some weak argument like: "Well, Taliban are now the new Afghan government and we respect wishes of governments around the world. We had no choice." when someone calls them out on it.

I use murex exclusively. It’s still beta quality so not totally bug free but the bugs are rarely showstoppers and it’s still in active development so fixes are usually just one GitHub issue away.

I don’t use it on servers, I stick with Bash for that. But I do use it as my primary local shell.

As for why murex, that’s a combination of personal preference and simply not being aware of other shells until after I’d already started using murex.

What I like about it is it’s typed and does a lot of the boring stuff automatically in the pipeline based off what type is (JSON, YAML, CSVs etc are all “types”). So working with a JSON file is as natural as working with a flat text file. But also it’s trivial to bypass the clever stuff and use it like a dumb bash shell too. Which is where Powershell and its ilk fall down.

This is the most informative video I've seen on the topic.

The right to silence began in England and it's only because of the endless undercutting of rights going on there and the lack of backbone for standing up to this (liberalism is now seemingly a historical footnote for the UK) that it has caveats, the right to silence has still not disappeared entirely.

As even the Wikipedia article on it[1] notes:

> If this failure occurs at an authorised place of detention (e.g. a police station), no inferences can be drawn from any failure occurring before the accused is allowed an opportunity to consult a legal advisor.

The "Don't talk to the police" is not the full point made in that video, it's "Don't talk to the police… until you've spoken to your legal advisor and not without a legal advisor present".

So, *don't talk to the police*, they're not your friends and they don't have your best interests at heart and it's their job to get evidence against you, not yours.

The P/ECE was a Japan-only handheld/mobile gaming console released in late-2001. Similar to Playdate it allowed users to create their own games or side-load games created by other developers.

The most obvious reason would be this: preventing a repeat occurrence.

We can't learn from our mistakes if we are prevented from finding out what the mistake was...

If the virus did get released from a supposedly secure research facility, this has huge implications for research policy and biosecurity standards worldwide. If the virus did originate from gain-of-function research, this again has implications upon whether we permit it or ban it worldwide. It was already banned in the US and other Western nations on safety grounds; maybe it's not safe anywhere in the world given that it could result in a global pandemic.

But without concrete evidence and open discussion, it won't be possible to make policy based upon rational discussion and decision-making.

Given the global impact of the pandemic, it would behoove us to give such investigation a high priority, given its profound importance to our long-term health and prosperity.
What a strange (and dishonest) way to characterize it. These kind of things aren't 'rare.' The central government is pretty consistent in demanding and implementing change when people are pissed off at something. They don't just centrally direct policies, they actively respond--often in ways that seem more responsive than so-called "representative liberal democracies".

Further, many people in the West do not know that there are democratic processes built into the bureaucracy of the party, in the sense that its structure fans out to very granular local community level officials who implement local policy in consultation with the people, constantly.

But I think these sort of things were people get angry about something then the change comes from the top-down is a more ad-hoc democratic process in the party.

I'm not cheerleading the democratic aspect of their organization, I'm just trying to be clear about it.

I feel sad when the Western press misrepresents it. Because it feels like an insult towards China--and that's sad. It's like, "Why you need to do that?" But it also is an insult towards people in the West, in that, they should be told the truth. Like, "Why do you need to lie to them?" That's what I think. So I try to push for a bit more clarity in how the West views China, I think that's better for China and the West. That's why I'm highlighting this dishonest headline.

I've shortened but not changed the meaning of the headline in order to fit it into the limit here.
If they can prove it, you're in trouble. How are they going to prove it?
I wholeheartedly agree. It feels a bit like a debate about speed limits: "I'm really only a couple kph/mph over it. The speed limit here is stupid anyway."

I am however glad this issue came up. The author does not appear to want to screw anyone over legally on this - so why not take it as a lesson learned and go from there?

Git tricks that changed my life
Regardless of class considerations, my point is that the education rat-race is prevalent in places where an average job doesn’t guarantee a good standard of living and/or where there are strong winner-takes-all dynamics, so everybody has to play the winner-takes-all game from the age of 6. I know people in London who have become catholics so they can get their child in a catholic school (for whatever reason they are considered better than others), the rat-race for them started before the child could even attend preschool.

From my experience of Germany and of the UK, I’d say that a mediocre job in Germany gives you a much better quality of life than it would in the UK. So you don’t have to get your child into the super-fancy Montessori nursery with the highest rate of alumni attending <German-Oxbridge>.
This reminds me of the fate of Jews in occupied Holland in WW2. Prior to the war, religious affiliation was collected by the Dutch authorities for tax exemption purposes - perfectly benign and harmless. Those same records of course fell right into the hands of the Gestapo soon after the Nazis occupied the Netherlands, providing them with a convenient list of names to round up for deportation to the camps.
It might. But the problem is not only the temp of the water.

If it is overcast, windy and not too warm, it takes a lot of mental strength to engage in the activity.

Some of the Western audience mentioned here that the comparison of Cancel culture with Trotsky's "cancellation" in USSR is a huge stretch.

I'm more familiar with the Soviet cancel culture and can assure you it's exactly the same. The author just did not show more examples, and it seems a different thing.

In reality, not only Trotsky, but many other early Soviet leaders were removed from books -- by removing mentions of them and photo editing. In fact, most of the early Soviet government of 1918 fell victims of that (the reason was that they lost to Stalin in the fight for power).

A famous example was Interior Comissar (Minister) Yezhov, who initiated the greatest political purge of 1937-38. He was himself arrested and executed based on falsified accusations in 1939. Mentions of him were removed (in fact in my schoolbooks in 1990 I did not see his name), him edited out of photographs. Here's a good collection of such photo editing:

https://cameralabs.org/11680-sovetskij-fotoshop-kak-v-stalin...

But these examples continued into science and other areas.

Scientists, teachers, book authors and actors, who'd fall in disfavor with management, were "cancelled" the same way, except not sentenced to death.

Various sources mentioned they read books from 1930s-50s in libraries, and saw many pages missing or pieces cut out.

In my favourite child cartoon, "Last Years Snow Was Falling", the voice actor Stanislav Sadalksy's name was not mentioned. Why? He got detained being drunk. The studio immediately "cancelled" him. His name was added to the cartoon ending titles in a separate frame years later.

In 2006-07 I read an interview with Yulia Dobrovolskaya, author of a good Italian manual, who mentioned that librarians were ordered to go and either cut out pieces of books, or paint with black ink their names and citations. The reasons were mere conflicts with management of Education Ministry or even with the University management. She fell victim of that in her unversity (can't recall which one, probably Institute of Foreign Relations) and had to teach in another one (fortunately, there was some competition between them). She (IIRC) also mentioned "photopalming": putting palm trees instead of "cancelled" people in interior group photos.

Importantly, this happened not because of ideological herecies, but of mere turf wars.
