I think that outside of a courtroom, it's possible to recognize "layers" of responsibility, for lack of a better term. I can think of a couple of scenarios:

1. In an industrial plant, equipment needs to be fitted with guards and other protective measures, even if it's arguable that sticking your hand into an exposed rotating mechanism, or grabbing a live electrical circuit, is your fault. If someone's hurt, and there's an investigation, the factory will be cited for not having the proper guards. From what I've read, this is one of the things that we now take for granted, but was hard won through labor activism resulting in a dramatic reduction in workplace deaths.

2. The European approach, where they assign "fault" for a crash, but at the same time investigate how the infrastructure can be redesigned to make the crash less likely.

Yes I would hope that a regulatory body investigates the OP's crash. At the same time, I've read some comments in HN that Tesla drivers hover their foot over the accelerator in case of "ghost" braking. Naturally this is anecdotal. Still, the driver could have mistakenly stepped on the wrong pedal.
Thank you for this beautiful site!
> Most certainly a conspiratorial cover-up by Tesla, the NTSB, and the NHTSA.

You're just adding the word "conspiracy" to imply blaming the car is insane.

You skipped "Possible scenario D: It's the car's fault, and the NTSB and NHTSA didn't respond due to a lack of interest, an incompetent person handling the complaint by the OP, the OP not being able to communicate what happened well enough, or a procedure at the agencies which requires the driver to make a complaint rather than an observer or a victim."
In the UK there is no official single form of ID. The way these things work is that you need a few letters confirming your address, then that's taken as gospel. A few years ago I was a "victim" of identify theft which happened as follows:

Somebody ordered satellite TV to be installed at my house. A few days later they went to a phone shop and walked out with an iPhone in my name, using (I assume) the invoice from the TV service as proof of identity. They then did the same with a few other phone companies. The only way I found out about these was when they sent me bills demanding payment a month or so later :-)

They also opened a bank account in my name, which I found out via a credit search, but the bank would not confirm or deny it as I was not the person who opened it.

This last bit is more interesting as I believe it had a different address, but was in my name. Technically that is not fraud, as in the UK names are freely changeable without needing any official registration. I could go into a bank tomorrow and ask to open an account, saying my name is "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson" (the Prime Minister's full name) and that would be legal. The bank would probably send me away as I don't have any supporting evidence to prove that's my name, but there's ways around that.

You can easily see how you could use this to have enough evidence to back up the claim that you are the owner of the property - especially if the property was vacant and you broke in so you could get the post (I assume the buyer was shown around before they bought it?).
working on a static typechecking system for Elixir: https://github.com/ityonemo/mavis (it looks like it's not being worked on but one of the development branches is in the middle of a very painful refactor I've been grinding through all week)
I don't agree that it's somehow impossible to get things right and I'm not even sure you really believe that.

Take "explicit". In hindsight I suspect even many C++ proponents would agree that actually you don't want C++ conversion behaviour (when calling a function that takes a parameter of type X and you've provided a parameter of type Y, the C++ compiler will look for any way to construct an X that only needs a Y and then call that constructor rather than report that you've got the wrong type) by default. Perhaps C++ should have implicit conversion you can opt into, but it certainly should not have (as it does today) implicit conversion you must know about and opt out of to avoid blowing your feet off by mistake.

But I argue that it goes much further than such superficial mistakes. Multiple inheritance is a mistake. Personally I'm sold on the theory that all type inheritance is a mistake full stop (heritability should be a property only of interfaces), lots of people don't agree, but far fewer support the choice C++ made to embrace multiple inheritance of types. It's just so rarely even useful let alone the best option to solve a problem.
> You're completely twisted up. This is largely tinfoil hat economics and conspiracy theories.

It's ok to disagree without resorting to arguments like these, they just poison the discussion.

Hope you don't employ sensationalistic style in your journalism and try to have an in depth story based on the debate here on HN.
I agree and agree the article is short on questions that the journalist should have brought up, even if they couldn't answer it (eg: names of the specific admins involved, how they got those positions and who they are beholden to).
Yeah, but that was considered a problem and subsequently fixed.
Good question, and the answer is not easy.

It looks like the proposed accelerator smashes electrons and positrons together which are nice and clean elementary particles (as far as we know), so much of the collision energy is directly usable to create, say, Higgs bosons with a mass of 125GeV.

At the LHC they smash protons into each other which at this scale are a bit like a soupy mess of quarks and gluons. So its 13 TeV c.o.m. energy actually gets spread out over multiple elementary particles, which might not even hit each other straight on. Because of this the number of high-energy collisions between elementary particles is significantly lower.

This is just my lay-physicist perspective by the way; an accelerator specialist can probably provide more details.

> You only need to pop up to 300 miles, hang in space for a moment, and let the satellite crash into you.

In the article's scenario, that's 300 miles and an indefinite timespan where you're being continuously burned by a megawatt to gigawatt-class laser that can penetrate meters-of-amor per second.
I’m wanting to build a documentation tool for tech teams. There are many but I have various problems with each of them. I just want some quick and easy markdown based docs.

One thing stopping me, for some reason, is building a user system. I don’t want to support 3rd party login systems and I’m also having trouble getting motivation to roll my own.
Are you this company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_(company)?

Owning the name of a common adjective seems dubious to me. It's like naming your company "big."

The article essentially argues to focus on the soft breeze at our backs instead of the hurricane in our face, which is a bit ridiculous, and only helps the political and financial forces that are the root cause of the hurricane.
I don't remember the exact issue that encouraged to finally abandon MongoDB but I do remember being super frustrated that I wasn't able to find a solution over several days.

What does meta.company do? I can't find anything about them. How did Facebook steal the livelihood of a company that doesn't have any products or sell anything?
Thanks.

What is the problem with "people using a bunch of different devices, getting new phones, etc" in what I suggested?

If I make a fresh install, then next time a friend messages me, it costs them a few seconds of delay in sending their first message because my client asks them to prove themself.

I don't see the problem, but I imagine there are problems since smarter people than me are not doing it this way. I'd like to understand what I am missing here.

I guess tweaking the difficulty to be actually difficult for a server farm, yet possible for an old device would be the main problem.
I literally saw a driver operating erratically in stop and go traffic. As I attempted to pass I noticed they were reading a book and driving “hands free.” They were driving a Tesla, and presumably using Autopilot. I’m sure some people operate like they’re a test driver, but there’s also folks who don’t understand the basic functions of being a tester.

I really really hope that Facebook's attempts to distance themselves from their negative press do not work.

Edit: To be clear, I don't care that much about the company in question, more so giving Facebook a black eye.

Other than the number in someone's bank account, what do you get from cryptocurrency?

With technologies like washing machines and dishwashers and stoves, it's pretty easy to see the real gains in wealth: you save labor. Ditto cheap housing and automobiles: you can live places you wouldn't before, which opens up a yard and white picket fence to people who previously lived in tenements. The Internet opened up a whole new world of information, which let people start businesses, learn new skills, apply for jobs they wouldn't otherwise know about, plan vacations, etc.

With cryptocurrency, the product is money. Money isn't wealth though; it's something you can trade for wealth. And whatever money you get from cryptocurrency got paid in by someone who newly bought what you just sold. There are people who have bought houses with gains from crypto (more power to them!), but that's paid for by other people putting money into crypto and getting nothing tangible in return. For those other people to get tangible benefits, somebody else would have to put money into crypto, and so on.

Money is a measurement tool, not a thing in of itself. In a properly functioning economy you get money when you create wealth, but money isn't itself wealth.
So in this case, the ZZ offspring is a genetic clone of its grandfather? That's the only sense I can make of it.

No, wait, half clone. Yup, I'm fully confused by this turn of events.
Donorschoose | Senior Software Engineer (Java) | REMOTE | Full-Time

This school year we will deliver $130M+ in school supplies to classrooms across the country!

Public schools aren’t created equal. We want to help. We are a tech-forward nonprofit, who pioneered crowd-funding before Kickstarter or GoFundMe existed.

Public school teachers come to our site and order specific materials (e.g. microscopes, books, crayons), citizen donors and large funders come and fund those projects and then we order and ship them.

The Engineering team is responsible for building the funding products for our teachers and donors, and also the operational tools that allow our team to ship all those supplies.

Our team is 12 engineers strong - we’re small but mighty. We believe in low ceremony, common sense processes and once engineers are hired here, they rarely want to leave. We pay attention to team culture and processes, and we work smart and love to try new ideas.

If this comment is the only page on the website, then you're not convincing me of anything. What does MetaCompany do? You have a better chance of anything if you had a functioning website and this was just a link within it. Otherwise, this is a nice ploy at trying to garner some attention, but to what I have no idea because you have no website.
It could be debased rapidly through collective regulation and enforcement. While that hasn't happened yet, at least consistently, there's no guarantee it won't happen.

I hate Facebook as much as the next person but I’m not sure they were doing anything shady here. They wanted to buy the domain cheaply and without disclosing who they are. I don’t see what’s wrong in that ethically or legally.
Building an ecommerce platform, initially targeted at a niche. I aim to then use foundation from the niche platform to spin off a general platform (if that doesn't take, it'll be fine if the niche is successful regardless) that will link up with the initial niche. The niche will act as a feeder for the general platform.

I haven't built anything in the ecommerce space in about 16 years, so it's a fun return home. One of the first things I ever built of consequence, not quite two decades ago, was a competitor to eBay.

Very boring initial stack. Ubuntu, Nginx, Redis, MySQL, PHP, Go, JavaScript. No frameworks (I almost never use frameworks for anything; I've built up my own stock and reuse it and evolve it year after year). Various caching with Nginx and Redis. It won't need anything else for a while.

Solo built over about seven months roughly. Going to attempt to self-fund indefinitely, not interested in sharing ownership with investors (specifically it's just so much easier to not deal with investors if you don't have to; I don't have to worry about generating a return for them, or getting them an exit).
What are the odds that there is no product about to be shipped, and it wasn’t somehow delayed by this, and this is just an opportunity to kick up a fuss for money?

I think it’s possible to be deeply anti-Facebook and still consider this possibility.
What real world applications rely on ETH? All I see are apps that operate in the crypto space playing finance games with cryptocurrencies.
Your questions are answered in the linked article. I hope this quote helps. There’s more in there if you read it very carefully.

Man, what're you talking about? If you hook a Windows 10 machine up to a pair of monitors with different scaling percentages, then try to drag a Google Chrome window across them, you get sent straight to Resolution Hell. Even the first party apps that "work" go crazy for a while right after they're dragged across

I ended up having to buy a new monitor to work around the issue, since I couldn't handle having apps explode on me any more

> If Autopilot poses a significant risk to other road users

It does not, if you use it as Tesla tells you to use it - paying attention to the road at all times and with your hands on the wheel. If you don't do that, Autopilot is probably still better than distracted driving - over the years I sometimes would catch myself drifting off in my thoughts as I was driving to the point where I wasn't even sure how I drove my car for the past few seconds. I bet this happens to others, too, and often. Between that and even semi-autonomous Autopilot, Autopilot seems like a safer choice, and it'll only get better from here on out, though I don't think we're anywhere near real "FSD" where you'd be able to read a newspaper as the car drives itself.
I believe this is a different company, the CEO name and URL are different.

This does not add anything to the discussion which was about the academic origins of the narrative around race (and other aspects of identity) in the US.

You might also want to check on how many black policemen have been killed recently without a single outcry from those who set your country on fire in 2019 and wonder whether those riots were really in support of "black lives". Did their lives not matter? Here's one of them: Kareem Atkins [1], killed in an ambush in Houston with two other police offers (who also happened to be black) injured. They tried to intervene in an alleged robbery when they were ambushed.

Why is there no outrage from "the black community" in this case? The answer, of course, is as clear as daylight and shows that the outrage has nothing to do with "black lives": when black police officers are killed by "bipoc" men there is no political leverage to be had since it does not support the desired narrative.

Take those ideological blinders off and see clearly, for your own sake and for that of the people around you.
