>>You have resources, someone else has a really good idea for how to use them. Financial instruments let the situation play out sensibly (you lend them resources, get back resources + something) with easy-to-manage legal enforcement if something goes wrong.

I agree with that in general; however, that's not the current premise of most cryptocurrencies - I see them more like gold in that you buy them and hold on to them; not as a capitalist investment into anything specific or generic. I may be wrong...
FYI, this individual has been deliberately misspelling Ethereum for 5+ years on Hackernews, as a form of mockery:

Whatever helps him sleep at night I guess. I doubt history will make this distinction when talking about "legacy," as this sub-thread is.

>"monsters of humanity"

You have to realize that this exaggeration contributes poorly to the discussion, right? Are you seriously trying to satirically hyperbolize the characterization of Facebook's effects on society in order to make it seem like people are overreacting to the whole thing? This is a wild take on the matter, to me, in 2021.
Yes, but there is usually an additional system like Toyota's Safety Stop which WILL detect a stationary object and kick in at the last minute to reduce speed by N MPH before collision.

AFAIK Tesla used to have that via its RADAR but because the new production has no RADAR, new cars can't have it, and they disabled it on the older cars too, in the interest of using a single software version.

At least this is what I've gathered from reading here and elsewhere.
It is a very common slur among kids in Norway and originally means someone who has the "mongoloid" syndrome. These days it just means "you idiot" after "pro choice" succeeded where Hitler "failed" and got rid of most people with downs syndrome.
Agreed, I meant the original in a "this is why we can't have nice things" sense.

I generally appreciate registered API integrations, but the trouble is, for the most sites that are most problematic for benign automation, they usually don't have enough demand or revenue to justify well-maintained APIs.

I tend to think the solution is more to somehow make the market prefer more decentralized solutions, preferably federated. Not having one big target for bad actors means much less effort applied to attacking any one of the targets.

Dating might be a bit off topic, but I can see both sides as well. Women have genuine risks, and are very justified in taking precautions. But for the majority of decent guys, it can be tiresome to be constantly treated like you're an evil violent stalker. Maybe it needs a similar solution - a movement to local connections where people can have reputations that you can trust.
An NTSB investigation is a separate thing from an accident investigation for fault or insurance purposes. The NTSB does not investigate a drunk driver, that does not mean the drunk driver would be free of fault or charges.
> Until fairly recently, I believe that the RADAR, which used to be in all their cars, would have detected the stationary object (me) and applied braking force to at least reduce the impact.

It is the other way around. They've stopped using RADAR because RADAR has too many false reflections at speed and it was causing learning issues in the ML dataset. The vision based position detection is better (could argue about weather and visibility here, but it is irrelevant to this convo). Reliance on RADAR was causing it to hit stopped objects, because it was relying on radar data that was already too jittery and had to be ignored.

Regardless of the RADAR issue, the driver is responsible for the vehicle at all times. If someone hits you using cruise control they remain at fault.
Unfortunately “pongo” is a commercial name of a product here in Italy (similar to playdoh)
I get that, at some high level; but I'm not really seeing any of the current coins being actively used as currencies as much as investment / static store of value. They all look more like Gold than Dollar, to my ignorant eye
It's not enough (but it's still a good idea).

"Slaughterbots" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fa9lVwHHqg) shows a terror angle for some of what technology can do (drones).

> That's not how it works. You sue the driver, if they have insurance the insurance company steps in, after paying you out the insurance company can go after tesla.

That's...not how it works.

Anyone injured as a result of a defective product has a claim against the manufacturer and anyone else in the chain of commerce. You don't have to sue someone else and let them sue the manufacturer.

(You can, but you don't have to, and its a complicated tactical consideration as to whether it is optimal in any particular case, further complicated by the fact that you can also sue everyone who might be liable at once, instead of picking and choosing who is best to sue.)
From the HN guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
> Most Christians that have spent the time to consider what it means for God to manifest a miracle fairly explicitly accept that that necessarily involves some physical sequence of events

That hasn't been my experience. I don't know about "most" Christians -- I wouldn't dare presume to speak for anyone in the US, for example -- but every Catholic I've spoken with (I live in a majorly Catholic country) believes in the entirely miraculous virgin birth of Jesus.

I think the phrasing "most Christians that have spent the time to consider [...]" is unfortunate; it reads like "every Christian which believes [this thing] believes [this thing]". Or it makes Christians who do believe in the miraculous birth without a prior physical setup to be somehow less thinking Christians.

Do note I'm an atheist myself so I certainly don't believe in miracles, either direct or indirect; I've no dog in this race.

No, lots more people want to drown out their thoughts than think any. What else is new?
I try to hit EASY 10-20 reptition maxes or have some sort of easy rep PR goal every session. Emphasis on easy, I reserve pretty sandbagged weights, maybe 10-20% below what I'm actually capable of doing. They're somewhat challenging, but easy enough that I almost never miss even on days when I feel bad/sick. It's just nice knowing your body is doing something it's never done before. The rest of it is actually treating lifts as a skill to be mastered rather than reps to be ground through. But not everyone has patience / personality to approach lifting like that. Finally, my typical 1.5-2hr gym session is good time to catch up on podcasts @2-3x speed. There's probably only ever 20-30m of lifting happening total. It's definitely not the kind of activity that consumes me. Unless I do cross fit or other circuit programs where you're moving all the time. Incidentally I can't stick to those because they're too close to running.
320 million other people deserve an equal say, so probably you won't - and shouldn't - get exactly what you want (nor should I).

I don't like uneducated voters.
No other car hit the Tesla from behind. It hit me with two impacts all by itself.
Stablecoin issuers are already effectively banks. In particular, wildcat banks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat_banking

Spoiler alert: there's a reason we had 150 years without wildcat banks.
Word "risk" appears in this doc 130+ times.

However the sole existence of stablecoins and crypto is due to the fact that legacy, corrupt financial institutions and irresponsible government fiscal policies present the biggest risk to people wellbeing.

So all these "risk" talks is a prerequisite for more taxes and more regulations that will only accelerate the natural evolution away from outdated, corrupt, centralized legacy institutions.
No, that's not what democracy is. That's what you want it to be.

And no, the rich can't outspend the population, if the population realized what's happening.

Not only is 10USD/EUR per month times the entire population just an incredible amount of money ... it's way more effective.

Most damage from lobby happens because corporate lobbyist are the only ones there. Just one publicly funded lobbyist there to remind the decisions makers of what is right and prevent their ability to rationalize would make an incredible difference.

But you need to pay that person.

John Carmack works for Meta. His product (VR) is kind of essential to the vision for meta, so it's nor surprising he's speaking positively and optimistically about the metaverse.
creating your own definitions or metrics as to what would qualify someone as educated isn't helpful in a discussion.

you are also making assumptions that those who aren't yet vaccinated are anti-vax, which again isn't always the case they may have their own reasons for delaying or perhaps are perfectly fine with vaccines in general but distrust this particular one for whatever reason.

A person can be educated person can still be an unreasonable one.
Pretty sure it's not specific to HN. Any social media has this behavior.
No, we can't. Accidents are going to happen no matter what because driving is a complex task with an infinite number of potential failure modes, and no threshold where the risk of serious injury or death can be considered zero. If something is safer than average, then it is objectively an improvement, and that's all it needs to be.

The main reason stated at the time was that dash was a much faster executable that would improve the performance on boot and all background tasks.
They are certainly illegal, but I've had very different experiences reporting IRL death threats versus online death threats.

Anecdotally it seems like law enforcement doesn't take online death threats seriously, and are incapable of determining legitimacy and origin. The lack of accountability seems to make it much more likely for death threats to happen online...

I've reported online threats containing my home and work addresses and they're basically shrugged off. If someone approached me in person and said the same thing the outcomes are very different.
In theory, cryptocurrency should be more resilient through greater transparency; anyone can inspect a smart contract and see how it works, what collateral it holds.

In practice, non-algorithmic stablecoins like Tether have very little transparency. I hope in the long run the market will gravitate towards algorithmic stablecoins like DAI.
It is a infrequent yet catastrophic risk however for everyone that owns any land or property in the UK - and it would definitely keep me up at night if I had any property there!

Or all those evil, "devil-worshipping" heavy rockers, and the the back-masking records. Or like when Bart Simpson said, "Eat my shorts" for the first time, and how that was teaching kids disrespect. Which is truly hilarious now given the many years of Family Guy, South Park and other adult cartoon shows.
> Yes! You’re missing the most important aspect of open source projects. Anyone can contribute a feature they care about (within limits).

The biggest limit is resources. SVG is too big to be implemented by a lone wolf working for love alone, and too diverse in application for a tech company to embrace for the length of time and breadth of focus required.

This is a welcome development that validates the W3C model in a positive, constructive way.

TBL would be pleased I imagine.
Similarly to working at the database team of an online casino or gambling site. Personally, I wouldn’t want to work for such companies or FB no matter what salary.

If this is what prevents someone from considering a job at Facebook they’re a fool. This day of judgement will never come. Future generations have potential to be just as egregious, maybe even more so than today’s generation of engineers. They might even invent something even worse than Facebook, and we’ll look back at today as the good old days. The only questions that will be asked is how did they make so much money and what advice do they have for replicating such success.

I do too on a non-Tesla. I've seen differing behaviors not just due to updates but due to the time of day!
Should have just used this sentence - which also directly covers parent's case.

>I don't really see how a random Facebook engineer is substantially worse than an engineer who works for Microsoft, or Apple, or Google, or Lockheed Martin, or <insert large corporation here>. People just want to make a decent living, not change the world.

The Nazi SS officers also used this line of arguments during the Nuremberg trials, that they were just "following orders from above, with no choice in the matter (other than the choice to voluntarily join the SS for personal gains), just like the soldiers of the allies; what's the difference that makes them the bad guys?"

My point is, you can make big tech bucks at other places as well, nobody forces you to work for an evil corp, you choose that voluntarily. And there are other less evil places you can work for.
By same order you mean as per in-order traversal correct?
The UK is funnily backwards about some things. In particular, they have neither national ID cards, nor a population registry. You end up sending utility bills to the government as proof of address.
This is a very good point. The risk profile of centralized stablecoins like Tether and USDC is way, way different from something algorithmically controlled like DAI.

I own a Tesla, and I'm not a Tesla apologist. There's tons of stuff that is just wrong about that car (the UI for example, is a dumpster fire).

That said, I recall hearing some stuff in the early Tesla days about how the cars could drive themselves. Summoning, auto parking, and some hints at what we now know as Full Self Driving.

Aside from that, I don't recall much marketing hype around Autopilot. It has a bullet point on the Model 3 website, and some details on the naming of related features and what they do, but that's about it. None of it seems like "hype".

Here's the full description of Autopilot:

> Autopilot enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane.

That's it.

In the car's user manual it makes it very clear what the feature does and what your responsibilities are as a driver. They don't make it out as some sort of magical feature.
Sure, but your comment doesn't reflect an accurate model of the world -- brains and computers are not the same kind of thing, and humans are more than just a brain. I know there are powerful people trying to convince us that your model is accurate, though, with the goal of getting us to allow their computers more control over our lives. I'm worried that people are buying into this view, not because they believe it's an accurate model of the world, but because they think it's inevitable that these powerful people and their computers actually will end up in control, so they'd better prepare for that future.
I agree. He seems to go off on tangents all over the place without reaching clear conclusions about the original topic.
I think there is a good argument that now is a good time for a liability shift for certain types of accidents with TACC. TACC should never be rear ending people.
I think the Chinese government in the present day (for example) provides us with a good idea of what the Stasi would be doing today.

Amazing how many people are die hard advocates of being closed minded. The net market for crypto hits over a trillion dollars, and you still say things like this declaring they are proven to be worthless. This is posted on a report by the US government on a technology that is effectively a digital wrapper to use the US dollar easily online. How is there no worth in that?

Out of curiosity, what would it take to change your mind on this? Is there not even a single dollar of real value in the crypto world?
Not only that, just search for laser safety glasses, they sell lots of low quality goggles that don't provide any protection, they are burning eyes too.
Actually a huge fraction of DAI is backed by USDC and other assets.
The potential of cryptocurrency is a lot brighter than the potential of Bitcoin. The right investment to make in cryptocurrency isn't buying it, it's thinking about it and economics to try to figure out how it can be gainfully used. Ethereum has many potential applications and so may be worth buying, but only if you have a use for it. (The price of every asset is such that buying it is a martingale.)

BTC isn't even truly decentralized - it's Chinese.

So what should they do? Copy OP and publish as is with no follow up, investigation or additional information? or should they do their job and investigate a claim that could be of interest to the public?

Not like they could get information from OP, and then make a FOIA request of the two departments OP mentioned to identify similar reports and write the facts up in an article for us to read, understand and decide for ourselves if it's an issue. That's good journalism: give the facts and let the public make opinions, not the current system which gives the opinions and let the public make up the facts. Just like this post, deciding it's a wide spread issue and the comments agreeing it is without any evidence.
NTSB and NHTSA can't investigate every single complaint. That's unfortunately not scalable. They would need to talk to the driver, talk to Tesla, get the data, etc. All for something that's handled through civil lawsuits. You can sue the driver because ultimately she is at fault, and if she wants to sue Tesla, that's her prerogative.

This makes sense to me.
