Just got a new phone and migrating Signal was a total disaster. The first thing I did was login to the new phone which is apparently the wrong thing to do because you lose all your old messages and there's no option to import after you login. You have to logout but there is no logout. Gotta uninstall and reinstall, or clear app data. Next I tried the account migration feature which requires using both phones simultaneously, hope you didn't erase your old phone yet. But it doesn't work anyway, it's just broken. So after failing at that several times, then I had to manually make a backup on the old phone, write down a 20 digit numeric code that's only displayed once on screen, transfer the backup file manually, type the code on the new phone, and then it logged me in but silently failed to import the backup. Had to uninstall again and did the exact same steps again and then it finally worked. What a travesty. Security shouldn't come with this kind of UX disaster.

Agree! If there was no way for ppl playing in crypto to get their hands on bonafide fiat currency, I don't think anybody would really care about crypto. Remember the Gemini exchange adds looking for qualified investors? Why? because such people have US dollars, which is what Gemini wants to bank.
Lack of Sex is interfering with my ability to triage bugs
Radar is not good for detecting stationary objects. Of course you get a nice reflection back from a stationary car but you get a similarly nice reflection from an overhead trafic light or a manhole cover or a dropped nail. Because of this every automotive radar ever fielded gates out the stationary objects. If you wouldn’t you would get a crazy amount of false positives.

They can do this because the radar measures the relative speed of objects via dopler shift, and you know the speed of your own vehicle. Anything which has the same speed as you have but goes in the other direction is most likely stationary. (Or moving perpendicular to you. The velocity difference is vectorial, but dopler can only observe the component along the observation vector, and civilian radars have terrible angular resolution.)

In short: nobody ever used radar to stop cars from hitting stationary objects. This is not a Tesla specific thing.

I'm jealous. I bike that much every two days when active, and was still gaining weight. I don't eat sugar foods, as it messes with me. I just eat lots of food.

I tried switching to smaller plates. Doesn't seem to help too much.

I was finding that salads help. Not sure how much, though. I was basically in a starvation diet when it was working well.

That said, counting calories definitely helps better than I want it to.
> If you consider each country's history with respect to property and power, it makes sense.

Could you elaborate on that, please? I don't know which historical aspects you're referring to.
when you turn on autopilot it tells you to keep your hands on the wheel and if it senses you are distracted it will turn it off if you don't wiggle the wheel a little to show you are paying attention. So at least as far as autopilot is concerned I would say the driver is at fault if they run into another car.
> Now, there’s certainly a case that Facebook’s products are harmful, but is it Facebook’s intent to harm people?

Facebook aims to maximize engagement. Engagement is maximized by showing content that makes people angry and scared. [0] Is it harmful to make people scared and angry to maximize the amount of ads that pass their eyeballs? I know Facebook has internal research that shows them how Facebook affects people mentally (not great!), so ignorance isn’t a defense for them here.

That's odd since Tesla seems proud of their AI expertise. Isn't something like "image is blurred" a fairly pedestrian (heh) exercise? Especially given that you would have related data, like what speed the car is going, if you're parked, etc.
> There is immense social pressure to be on these platforms

And the way to fix that is to give in to said pressure, which are just network effects, until everybody and all their kids are on FB or one of their platforms?

> I'd rather it was done in a safe way than forcing everyone onto some shadier platform

I wonder how most of us here managed to grow up for decades on a "not safe for children" web before we had companies like Facebook "tackle" a problem they created themselves?

As hyperbolic as that might sound, this is a discussion that needs to be had properly and doesn't just stop at the emotional appeal of "Think about the children!" but also involves what role Social Media is actually supposed to hold in society and if children should have access to it at all.

Yes, that sounds radical, but we are also living in times that present a radical shift to how societies used to function, maybe radical shifts need radical solutions.
> Also maybe hydrogen is the future

It definitely isn't if we are going to move away from fossil fuels.

If all one cares about is money, then yes, it is one's fault and the blame is correctly placed.
As someone who had Comcast and has dealt with Amazon support I cannot disagree with this statement anymore.

My only experience with Amazon support was a failure to deliver a $600 item, Amazon not only refunded the price right away after we figured out what was going on, but also credited me $100 for my trouble.

Comcast? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA.

For specific boards free speech was indeed never an issue.
Since my point was at the very "broad" cross polination that socialmedia platforms like Facebook/Twitter/Reddit hell even 4chan endorsed during those times.

I did forget about being sold.

That has always been something now that I think about is a sore problem with specialized platforms, if admin goes away so does the site, in a way kinda wish there could be a "fediverse" or collaborative effort in keeping the site alive.
> Installation instructions for most web app software today is "here, download and run this docker-compose.yml".

Plenty of software is distributed as "copy/paste `curl ... | sh`" or "npm install ..." or "pip install ...". This is absolutely not unique to containers.

> most of this software won't even run without root privileges

I don't buy this at all. The container runtime probably needs root privileges, but individual containers rarely need privileged access. Moreover, in many (all?) cases we can use security policies to prevent root containers by default.

> Running this stuff without any sort of checking and as root is bonkers, but it is what it is.

Again, true of any software, containerized or not. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure people are more likely to inspect a docker-compose.yml than they are to decompile an ELF binary.

> We're kind of back in the Windows 95 era of packaging software as far as server backends go. Maybe it will change after some very serious worms and viruses his the Docker ecosystem.

We've always been in that era. The only difference is that today our systems are designed with more security in mind.

I think "caste system" is the perfect word for it. I don't think it is a bad thing though, I am fine with having such castes in c++. First time I saw coroutines of c++ I was definitely like "yep, this is for library writers". I am not excited about it, but I am excited about libraries that will use it.

It is similar how templated code that basically becomes "magic" for an average programmer like me. I can't wrap my head around such complex templated libraries either but the simplicity of using such libraries are sure welcomed by me. I think it is perfectly have some language features for more advanced users.

Hey, at least they are adding concepts. Maybe I will move up to another caste and will be able to write more complex templated code now.
I'm not sure what you think Autopilot is. It's basically adaptive cruise control which almost all new cars have. As shocking as this may sound like the onus is on the driver to avoid a high speed collision when approaching a stopped car at a red light. The driver should push the brake petal.

Just because it was a Tesla somehow this is a problem that NTSB and NHTSA need to investigate? But if it was a Honda Civic it's just an accident?
Your last paragraph provides an insight I hadn't had; that is a serious problem. I personally appreciate the PIN repetition, as it encouraged me to use a code I had not used before, since I knew If be reminded to practice it now and then.
Based on videos and observed driving behavior, it seems the marketing and documentation for Autopilot is ineffective at communicating to drivers that Autopilot is basically advanced cruise control. If this is correct, it represents a systemic issue that should be investigated by the NTSB or NHTSA.
This is what I would expect as well. Some kind of visual self-test, and if/when it fails, the driver gets an obvious warning and autopilot does not engage - you get some kind of clearly visible warning so that you can contact Tesla to investigate / repair the obstruction.
> If you are really an innocent person, there will be nothing in your history.

It's only not about things that are incriminating. Suppose you were a witness to something nobody was supposed to know about and now you're to be disposed of.

If they have your message history, they have your full contact list, your relationships with them, who you trust the most, where you like to hang out, who owes you money or favors you could call in. You're completely isolated. For sure you can't use any kind of ATM or credit card or find work anywhere they'd expect you to provide a social security number.

How far can you get if you can't buy gas or travel tickets? What do you do for food?

It's absolutely correct that there is a ton of scamming going on and that the technology of crypto makes this easier than ever.

Still, "It's all scams" strikes me as overly simplistic, partly because there is observably a great deal of effort in crypto that appears to be quite genuine..

..but perhaps more to the point, the difference between amount of activity in crypto that is scammy v. amount of activity in literally all things money related that is scammy is not particularly huge.

My perspective is skewed because I'm in Sweden but in real world situations I've seen more good about adaptive cruise control than Tesla autopilot. Tesla autopilot is mostly something I see hyped on HN or reddit.

But in real life, adaptive cruise control is being used all the time, and no good driver that I know trusts it with their life or their insurance.

You've totally missed and mischaracterized the point of the article. That wildcat banks failed was never in dispute. They failed, by definition.

As the monetary historian notes, wildcat banks were very rare, and the cause of wildcat banking was not, as alleged, lack of centralized regulatory gatekeeping: the failures were generally directly due to regulatory intervention that exacerbated risk, like prohibitions on bank branching which precluded diversification.
What’s Behind the Confidence of the Incompetent?
Vast majority of house sales involve at least one of

* an estate agent

* a mortgage company (on the purchase or the sale)

* involve a sale at a market rate

* involve parties that know each other personally (family etc).

To not have any of those surely should raise a warning flag that "this requires a little more investigation" than a forged driving license. This wasn't an abandoned house being sold after being empty for several years.

Multiple Perspectives on the Korean War
Of course they will be. That's just what happened during the Syrian civil war; the refugees were welcomed with open arms in Europe, Germany didn't experience any political turmoil that reverberates to this day at all.

I guess I'm in a sarcastic mood today. Yes, of course that will cause mayhem. It's one of the reasons I see climate change as such a threat to our all civilization. We're fearsome tribal creatures and the coming waves of desperate peoples will almost certainly play into the hands of nationalist fearmongers and firebrands.

I wonder if we will see some kind of -literally - ecofashism rise from that.
