It's almost a myth that Israel is highly vaccinated, and the vaccine is far more effective in Israel than first meets the eye.

A significant % of Israel's entire population is currently too young to be eligible for vaccination.

There are two commonly reported %s: percent of population and percent of eligible population. That distinction matters.

Info only needs to be involved once. It's a big ask to obtain and dispose of the coins while maintaining anonymity at every step. Buy one item an online store to your IRL address and then it might propagate through all your wallets. It doesn't really need to be KYC, just your name or email or address etc... Even IP address
I understand your particular pain, but I want to share the flip side of it. QMK devices are great for me as a Mac user because it's very rare that any of the custom firmware configuration tools for input devices get ported to macOS. But QMK has a port and if a device wants to present itself as just a bog-standard USB device with all the "translation" happening on the device rather than requiring custom drivers and additional software on the OS side, everything just works. I presume users of other non-Windows OSes have similar takes, and I really hope the QMK trend gets picked up by Logitech, Kensington, and MS's hardware team eventually so that more hardware on the mass-market/affordable end of the spectrum can also do these things.
Tesla autopilot can overtake slow cars. You might have to swerve and block it. Certainly possible, as it is not aggressive, but it wouldn't be as straightforward to stop it as with regular traffic aware cruise control.
It's not obvious that Level 4 falls within what one would call really difficult conventional programming. That level entails something like "in the event of any exceptional situation, find a safe stopping location and safely bring the car to a stop there," and even that alone seems incredibly hard.

I applied the other month for a job that mentioned SFO or remote, then halfway through the signup it stated that they were allowing folks to work remote until COVID was better, then wanted folks to be onsite, and then prompted for a yes/no if I was willing to move to SFO at a later date. Didn't get a chance to talk to anyone and expect it was because of this, so is a bit disappointing.
The excuses Coinbase uses are ludicrous. As far as I can tell, deposits on Coinbase are not directly on-chain. And transfers out aren’t blockchain-only transactions either - they are mediated by Coinbase. So the wallet you see on Coinbase is a not a blockchain wallet - it's a Coinbase wallet, effectively a bank account.

Blockchain transactions are irreversible, but that has nothing to do with why they won't reverse these thefts. They don’t reverse these transactions because it would cost money to insure people’s deposits. Not because blockchain transactions are irreversible.

I'd be curious to hear a lawyer's take on this - whether something that is effectively a bank can get away with not being called a bank in order to avoid insuring deposits.
That in itself can also be dangerous. There are in fact traffic laws in various places against driving too slow or otherwise impeding traffic flow because doing so can cause accidents.
I enjoy using both languages. The significant performance difference between the two for me is compilation speed. Size of binaries produced is also important if you’re shipping them around.

Are you sure it's not a police state already?

I think you're just concerned it's starting to be noticable to folks in the middle class too, cause the poor have been well aware of the fact that we live in a police state.

Evidence: US prison population compared to, well, any other country in the world, even the ones you know to be police states already. Whether you look at total population, or per capita, it's the same answer, #1 in the world at locking up it's own residents.

well, it had a lot of output! it completely stifled a whole industry of economic activity, for one. thats sort of my point, you might not be able to make a completely 100% unbeatable ban, but you really don't need to in order to effectively stifle certain kinds of activity. like, the harder you make something to do, the fewer people are going to have the energy to do it. arguments like "why bother, you cant make it literally impossible" miss the point that you can make it difficult enough that for most people it may as well be impossible.

The biggest problem the PCI SSC had with deprecating old TLS versions was the sheer number of devices running XP Embedded (which doesn’t support newer TLS versions). It was THE operating system for point of sale devices for a very long time, and replacing or upgrading these devices was a very complicated and expensive process for a lot of organisations.

I haven’t worked with PCI for a couple of years, so I’m not sure where they got to. But that was the main issue that kept getting the depreciation deadlines pushed back. The ubiquity of that operating system was an issue in lots of other industries too. I worked in a place recently that had a large industrial robotics system, all of it was running on XP Embedded, and the most feasible approach they came up with for addresses the security issues created by that was to implement increasingly more strict network segmentation controls for their robots. I know it was also running on a fair amount of military hardware too (maybe still is? I have no idea), I don’t think you’ll find many helpful Stack Overflow threads for how to upgrade your Lockheed AC-130 from Windows XP…

"Steering wheel torque-based driver monitoring" is not good enough for monitoring the attention of the driver.

It is a '"poor surrogate" for driver attention'. Not my words, but the words from the NTSB [0].

For depot to depot runs, sure. Most runs aren't that though, and require direct delivery from manufacturer to purchaser. Plenty of deliveries, for example in Chicago, basically happen off a residential street. Alley docking and turning around in these environments is challenging even for a human.

Easy. Don't let the country fall into the hands of the Taliban before getting people out. That would prevent negotiations with some of the worst people in the world.

Reddit is best as a platform for effortlessly making focused special interest forums. In the past these would have required a PHBB instance and hosting, would have nonexistent SEO and would be almost impossible to find. But they would have some of the best content the internet had to offer.
Lived in Boston for quite a while, and grew up driving in a city.

I find SF much more challenging to drive in, at least wrt the other drivers. In Boston, drivers are aggressive and take calculated, dangerous risks to meet their goal.

In SF, a lot of people on the road act like it's their first time driving in like 5 years and they're still figuring it out. There's no rational risk-taking towards a goal, but more people bumbling around unpredictably while unsure of what their goal even is.
On a highway that could cause an accident as traffic behind the self driving car would have to screech to a stop or swerve around. There needs to be some way to get it to pull over onto the shoulder.

Literally as written, this sounds like a medical emergency.

From the article: "It had its right turn indicator on, but it drifted slowly to the left, into my lane, before slowly going back into its own lane."

For this to have happened, the vehicle could not have had autosteer engaged. At most, it would have had regular traffic aware cruise control on, which would not have been monitoring for wheel input at all anyway. This strongly implies to me that the operator was at least operating the vehicle intentionally to a significant degree.

In any event, calling 911 is an appropriate response to an unresponsive driver.

Apparently Brits hate the Magic Roundabout, but it seems so shiny.. just the idea of a roundabout of roundabouts where the inner flow of traffic is reversed is really pretty. I'm sure it's one of those things that looks great in traffic flow simulations but falls apart when panicked drivers are trying to deal with each other and the unconventional traffic patterns.

I agree with joe!

Neuroscientist love to reify a chunk of brain as responsible for function X. They have done this for 160 years. Only Karl Lashley’s work called “localization” into question but his work was swept aside in the Montcastle-Hubel-Wiesel era of big neuroscience.

Now we do toy experiments using optogenetics of a single inbred strain of mouse and delude ourselves into thinking that we are achieving understanding of a highly complex system.

I’ve worked in this field for 40 years and we are not even asking the right questions.

It is a pity neuroscientists do not know more about analog computing. Can a neuroscientist understand an op amp? Probably not.

To share the harsh light—can a CS expert in AI understand how to get to general AI? Probably not unless, like D. Hassabis, you have a solid background in neuroscience.
Articles like this never seem to make the case for which crimes were specificly commited. They always talk about the fallout of the financial crisis (losing money on wall street isnt a crime afaik).

If you count the fuel used to keep planes flying I wouldn't be surprised if the satellites launches actually polluted a lot less. Don't forget that every launch, although surely consuming a lot more fuel than an airplane, brings in orbit 60 satellites, and there have been about 30 of them so far. I you compare these figures to the thousands planes flying every day, it should give a very different perspective.

Please note that I'm against pollution as you, also I am not a Tesla or Musk fan; they make great products, but that doesn't prevent me to think he's an absolute ass.
That's possible, but the article said that it changed lanes to the left while signaling to the right. That rules out having NoA enabled with "confirmationless" lane changes.
Microsoft created .NET and Azure and a lot of the tooling so the integration is tight, now that it's multi platform and with Rider (multiplatform .NET IDE) being as good as if not better than Visual Studio there is nothing stopping it.
The thing was that with computers we had the BIOS, that defined an open (well, in the first days it was proprietary but became a de facto open specification) that allowed interoperability between hardware and software, to the point that it provided the most basic functions to be able to boot whatever operating system you liked.

We should have done the same on the mobile, there is no reason why this works on computer and not on smartphones, if not commercial reasons. Why on a macbook I can install Linux but on an iPhone I can't boot whatever operating system I want? It's not a matter of security, because it's the user that chooses to change the operating system.

I've seen it with someone with a certain amount of dementia trying to make a modem work. What he was trying to do was actually impossible and he responded to failure by trying variations on it.

Perhaps it needs the 1 for long distance? (No, it doesn't, the software knows better.) Perhaps it needs a 9 for an outside line? (No, the modem already has an outside line, it doesn't go through the phone system.)

I'm sure you can see what he did.
> And possibly the autodiscovery needs tweaking too, as I observe it not finding the feed on my site https://chrismorgan.info/, which is properly specified; my first guess is that it’s not coping with the type=application/atom+xml attribute.

I fixed that: https://mergefeed.net/Untitled?urls=https://chrismorgan.info...

> In related news, MergeFeed is currently vulnerable to injection attacks because it mishandles Atom titles that are specified as text. If you specify a title as HTML or XHTML, it filters out a <script> element properly (good! and while retaining inline formatting too!), but if you specify a title as text, it doesn’t escape the HTML (which is what it should do) or filter it (which would have been wrong but would at least have closed the security vulnerability). Proof of concept: https://mergefeed.net/-?urls=https://temp.chrismorgan.info/x...

I fixed that too. But for now I wasn't able to fix it without also removing formatting. I might be able to figure out how to keep formatting without allowing XSS attacks later, but I'm not sure that's even a good idea. It's kind of a link aggregator and link aggregators generally don't allow formatting. You don't want people to try to gain attention that way, leading to an arms race.

Obviously DevTools are great to have as a dev.

But I still think we're in the "C++ template error messages" stage of browser DevTools usefulness.

Right now, my DevTools can tell me that a CSS rule is invalid because "15%" is not valid because px or rem are required.

But it can't tell me if I'm setting a property in a child that doesn't make sense in the context of where it's used - adding a useless but valid property is just fine.

A CSS noob like me really gets very little help from the browser when confronted with something like "wait, why is this element taller than its container?". I can find out the sizes of the elements, and dynamically add styles to change that, and that is great!

But that's very much the "PHP expects T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM" [0] attitude. I get that the browser doesn't care about useless CSS rules generally - but the DevTools really should in order to be useful.

There is a PR from me (Daniël, committer) with for db-benchmark. For the group by benchmarks, on my machine, it is currently somewhat slower than the fastest (Polars).

Also we do support running TPC-H benchmarks. For the queries we can run, those are already finishing faster than Spark. We are planning to do more benchmarking and optimizations in the future.
I think the engineer's answer to the child entering the roadway would be: The car SHOULD never drive at such a speed that if the child WERE to enter the visible zone that it could swerve+slow enough to not hit it, forget the toy. After that we can move the goal posts and say it's a FAST child on a bike - but then the reasonable solution to that is a human driver may have also hit the biking child. Then, of course, we get into the ethics of fault for the accident.

NFTs are worhtless. They don't solve a problem, in fact they create a problem. They're like any other form of verified ownership except that you can't do all the things you want to do, like allowing established 3rd parties to protect the integrity of the market. So how do you make money from NFTs? You trick other people into thinking there's value in NFTs. That is literally the only use- trick someone into paying you for something that's worthless. Now they have a new string to their bow - if Visa say NFTs are legitimate, then they must be valuable right! Better hand my savings over to that scammer for that amazing mediocre peice of digital art. Never mind the fact that $150k is nothing to Visa.
Well, I agree with much of what you say, but all I was trying to say is this: If 'autopilot' is a misleading name for Tesla's advanced driver assist system, then isn't it also misleading for airliners to use that term? To me, the two systems appear to be very similar in what they can do.
Yes, JetBrains rider is IMO superior to VisualStudio these days, and I run a huge amount of C# code in production on Linux. It was definitely crippled in the past but it's a first class citizen in the .NET ecosystem now.

The simplest answer is that the people/companies have money. It's easier to go after them in the civil courts where it's easier to secure a judgement and collect huge fines than to pursue them in criminal court with a higher chance of losing (some of these actions might not even be crimes) and a lower return. They could do both, but if the government is collecting billions in fines, they don't really care about sending "productive" people to jail.
This is the way I do it - you can learn a couple more algorithms to solve parities in larger cubes (4x4x4, 5x5x5, and up).

There are parities in even sided cubes that don't happen in odd sided cubes - I like to keep a 4x4x4 on my desk since it's a good mix of difficulty and time spent solving.
