well now it's child pornography which they use to push such things trough. all people hate child pornography, but I mean, who would use whatsapp for such things? I mean seriously what are they even thinking? making such a thing go trough a official directive probably makes things go worse, way worse.

a lot of people in germany, basically do not care they thing they do not have anything to hide (which is probably right) but there are so many crimes which are just done in front of everybody and nobody did care (cum ex, wirecard, just to name some). it's like once the rich or politicans are involved they start to care.
It's so odd that in stories like this people don't even ask this simple question: did you try to brake?

It's usually conveniently omitted from the story.
Everywhere? But that violates my point. The lowering of the bar has lowered quality and thus increased noise. The signal to noise ratio sucks. I would hope you know this already ;)

Maybe go back and reread my comment? Keep in mind it's based on 17 yrs as a shoppe owner, in addition to the years prior and since as a dedicated music aficionado. It's not a perspective you'll get often, as it's not a life many have lived ;)

There are already existing tensions and conflicts about resources like water. Some of these do not need much more pushing to escalate into war[0].

Further climatic disruptions will make the already dire situations in many countries untenable. That situations like that do not tend to improve by unilateral actions of their neighbors if the threaten to make a barely acceptable situation even worse.

I don't know much about this but wasn't Tesla getting safety award after safety award in testing and that translating into lower insurance rates?
Hah! Thank you. I would have never guessed this.
It's not hard to figure out the companies themselves and other agency work well enough at solving the common reproducible errors the NTSB focuses on the edge cases that would otherwise go unanswered.
I have a tesla - I could be wrong but I don't think that autopilot has seen any updates in quite some time. The exception to this is people who have the FSD Beta - this is a very small percentage of people who were able to get a impossibly high driving score. Getting into an accident would have made it impossible for this lady to get the FSD Beta

> The fundamental problem with it, is it makes society more enmeshed (a pathological relationship dynamic). People start caring more about going with the grain, the mainstream opinion, and rejecting the troublemakers, because they don't want to be cast out too; and they self-censor more.

This is by design.

Before social media, to have your voice heard you needed to get help from either: a billionaire-owned TV Station or Newspaper or the State Sponsored Approved truth Station (in this case, the BBC but CBC and whatever official news network the party maintains in your local dictatorship will do).

Now, all you have to do is simply post it online on a property owned by some billionaire who doesn't really care (as long as it's legal he'll pocket the add revenue) in faraway California. You can guess who's mad about loosing all that control over who gets to be in the news and who doesn't...

That page is not credible at all.

IIHS reports are publicly available [1] and the numbers there don't match what's in the article at all. Large/very large luxury vehicles have an overall fatality rate of 16-21, ranging from 0 to 60 depending on model. The overall average for all vehicles is 36. The Audi A6 for example, is reported as having 0 fatalities in the article, while in the report the actual number is 16.

The other source used, tesladeaths.com, lists a ton of accidents where AP was not deemed responsible. It actually states the real number if you pay attention - 10 confirmed deaths in the lifetime of Tesla as of 2021 - yet somehow the article claims 11 deaths up to 2016.

Reminds me of other abandon things I’ve seen in this space before over the years like torodb[0] and pgmongo[1].

Peeking at this implementation, it seems very immature. There is a long road ahead. Good luck!

I always suspected this space never matured because the effort to rewrite a mongo app to use postgres was less than providing a drop in mongo translation layer.

Though I’ve never used mongo, I’ve always presupposed the set of people who pick mongo is a mutually exclusive from the set of people that pick Postgres. Perhaps this is proof of set intersection?

Do you have any references for this?

Black Walnut produce more jugalone than other walnuts but "Most members of the Walnut family (Juglandaceae) produce a chemical called "juglone" (5 hydroxy-alphanapthoquinone) which occurs naturally in all parts of these plants." [1]

I have no reference to juglone as being toxic humans despite many references to its toxicity to other plants.

I personally haven't consumed much 'cause they're a hassle to prepare but other comment to my post was from a person who with no apparent effects. And I've eaten lots of commercial walnuts, which supposedly also contain jugalone

And, there's toxicity to horses from juglone and to dog something else from but nothing related to humans mentioned here or anywhere I can find.

In terms of usability and giving parents moderation control, I think they've done a good job. I hate Facebook, but I'll recommend messenger kids because it actually makes some effort to give parents control over what their child is doing.

I think the real conversation should be about data collection and what kind of profiles they are / aren't building. I don't think kids should be trained from age 6 onwards to think the privacy invasions being foisted on us by our current social media companies are ok. I don't mind if Facebook is using it as a "hook them early" kind of product since there's some reciprocal value, but they shouldn't be allowed to collect any data or build any profiles on kids.

> Facebook believes its app complies with COPPA.

Believes? Lol.

I'm also not really sure what everyone thinks Facebook should do about online bullying. That's not a Facebook problem. It's a society problem. If Facebook starts to monitor and analyze every interaction teens will simply find another platform because they don't want their privacy violated like that. I don't blame them.

The class of problem called driving while incapacitated was studied and special regulatory attention was applied to it.

An automated driving system that can offer to function while incapacitated without the operater even being informed that there is any problem, is a different problem from an operator that neglected to press the brake pedal. The brake pedal itself and the rest of the braking system is absolutely required to meet a whole bunch of fitness standards.
Yeah, you don't truly own land, you pay property taxes, etc.

> I mean can you give me some examples of things this stati-state will find about you?

I think it’s a bit unfair to ask someone to throw away their (assuming American) 5th Amendment rights to make a point.

To paint with a broad and nonspecific brush, the UK government has regular surveys asking about drug use[0] which show that in the year ending March 2020, 7.4% of young adults used a class A drug. Possession of that class carries a maximum penalty of 7 years and an unlimited fine, supply and production up to life and unlimited fine.

Even for more mundane things like road traffic laws, if they were fully enforced then the only people with licenses would be those who didn’t drive.

Interestingly the UK also changed to GMT+1 during the war.

And during the Spanish Civil war Republicans had already moved to GMT+1 in 1938, a change that was undone after the war before switching again to GMT+1 in 1940.
> If Autopilot poses a significant risk to other road users, then an investigation is warranted.

Except there's no evidence that it does. I drive a Tesla. I've seen AP brake hard in circumstances where a distracted driver would have failed to notice. The system works. It does not work perfectly. But all it has to do to make that "if" clause false is work better than drivers do, and that's a very low bar.

Tesla themselves publish data on this, and cars get in fewer accidents with AP engaged. (So then the unskewers jump in and argue about how that's not apples and oranges, and we all end up in circles of nuance and no one changes their opinion. But it doesn't matter what opinions are because facts are all that matter here, and what facts exist say AP is safer than driving.)
That's not quite correct, although I understand your sentiment.

When you own a share of Square (or Visa, or PayPal) each time a transaction takes place on their network, a portion of that transaction (revenue minus costs) accrues to the company - and by extension increases the intrinsic value of your share. The transaction revenue is spent on furniture, on R&D, on employees and on buffing up their cash position. As a shareholder, you benefit from every single transaction made on their network.

On the other hand with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, as a holder of Bitcoin you are a customer not an owner. You lose money on every transaction. That value accrues to miners, and by extension, your local PE firm re-opening a fossil fuel power plant or the Kazakh coal mining complex.

Square shares ~= Hut8 shares.

Bitcoin ~= a Starbucks gift card you hope appreciates in value when Starbucks sells more coffee. Currently there are enough, uh, savvy investors who think it should, so it does. In accounting terms, it won't though because that benefit accrues to shareholders of mining companies, which you are not. You hold a gift card. One that costs money to spend so must be worth less than face value.

Bitcoin is a strongly negative sum MLM, or if you agree with jstolfi, a Ponzi scheme with a fresh coat of paint. [1] The network currently costs $60M per day to operate. That's $21B per year in new money that has to come in to prop up the price. [edit](And all that money goes to burning coal and throwing away mining hardware).

Genuine question, what temperature are cars expected to be stored at safely? I'm not talking about engine temperature, just literally the room temperate of the garage. I'm not wanting to excuse or accuse anyone here, but are cars supposed to be manufactured such that they can sit in 150F garages for days at a time without any maintenance?
They absolutely work but they are not reliable. Not on any car. They are a safety system of last resort.
The socialization on Messenger Kids is quite literally video chat and cooperative or competitive multiplayer games.

They play things similar to pictionary, have video chats where they can digitally dress up in fun outfits, and so on.
> Some, such as former International Monetary Fund chief economist Simon Johnson, have argued that the increased power and influence of the financial services sector had fundamentally transformed American politics, endangering representative democracy itself through undue influence on the political system and regulatory capture by the financial oligarchy.

Sounds to me like the Tesla tried to keep going after it hit you. Those cars really should not be allowed to use that tech and they've gone well beyond having enough proof to admit that.

Seems like the point of the conveyancer is to prevent this sort of thing.

In California it seems that a title transfer company is in practice the only way to transfer property, and for their exorbitant fee they do at least insure the buyer against this risk in perpetuity.

(Last time I bought a house in California I read the seller’s insurance policy and discovered its perpetual nature. I realized that if I ever had a problem I could sue the seller and their policy would cover me (and them). Unfortunately the title company refused to do the transfer until I bought my own title insurance. What a ripoff)
The Register are pretty good, to be honest. They don't run just any old crap, and are actually technical.

> Comparing the US[1] and China[2], the US has:

I think it is misleading to look at % change without also taking into account the total magnitude, as the development state and energy situations in each country are drastically different. China is in a growth phase so electricity demand is increasing year over year. US electricity demand is relatively constant. China emissions are certainly increasing, but they are still half of the US per capita.[1]

Despite lower GDP, China has brought significantly more renewable power production online than the US in the last 10 years[2]. The US has added about 300 Twh of renewable electricity production in the last 10 years. China has has added about 1,600 Twh of renewable electricity production in the last 10 years.[3]

China electricity demand will increase to support GDP, and this is non-negotiable. They already source more of their electricity from renewables (as a percent), and are on track to have a lower fossil fuel consumption (as a percent) when they stabilize development.

In short, China is lower than the US in terms of per capita CO2 emissions, and has a trajectory to remain lower in the future.

Talk to a good lawyer, see if you have a case to sue Tesla. They'll only fix this if it costs them money.
So I'm actually Basque and I've gotta say this is a pretty specific scenario.

This is part of a very reprehensible and long history of fighting against household terrorism, said history includes things such as torture on innocents or state terrorism.

On top of that, the National Assembly has a bad reputation for pulling this kind of abusive stunts specifically when it's about "praising terrorism" and I don't think I personally know a single person who actually supports this. This is probably why the Supreme Court reversed the decision.

On the other hand I do know many people who tell jokes about Carrero Blanco, or in even worse taste, Irene Villa, a journalist who lost both her legs in another attack with explosives from ETA. Remarkably Irene Villa is on record stating that she enjoys and supports jokes such as "What does Irene Villa do when her friends go and wax her legs? She varnishes hers".

I believe this last bit to be relevant because no doubt that could be considered brutally offensive, literally making fun of a disabled person, but there is nobody offended here, it is, instead, recognized that humor is an important way of coping with a difficult reality, and the history of Basque terrorism is indeed a difficult one.
The one I'm recalling from school includes 'respiration' rather than O2 specifically. (Now that I've woken up.)
