Additionally, it's probably a reasonable assumption that even in cases where a front-seat passenger is present, the majority of impacts would be driver side.

I thought about the following cases where you might encounter this type of impact:

1. Driver is not controlling the car properly (asleep, drunk, etc.) and leaves the carriageway and impacts some road furniture, etc. - in this case, single driver likely has around 50/50 chance of going left vs right, but an accompanied driver is less likely to have this type of incident (passenger can shout to wake the driver, reach for the wheel, etc.). As a result, total fatalities from this collision mode would probably be significantly higher for drivers than passengers.

2. Driver understeers around a corner. In this case, understeer would be more likely on a smaller radius corner than a larger one. As the drivers' side is closest to the other carriageway, this means that the driver would already need to be on the widest part of the curve in order for the impact to be on the passenger's side. This likely reduces the frequency of oversteering from the outside of a turn - although as a secondary consideration, it probably implies higher speed, and so potentially higher fatality rate. Therefore, as more oversteer-related incidents would happen from the inside of the curve, the driver is more likely to be impacted.

3. Impact occurs during overtaking. In this case, we assume the driver is in the opposite carriageway. Oncoming traffic is likely to evade, and during an overtaking manoeuvre, it is likely that evasion into the driver's original lane is not possible due to other traffic. As a result, both our driver and oncoming traffic are likely to try to evade off the carriageway (onto the hard shoulder, grass verge, etc.) Considering that this is a small overlap test, it would imply that evasion has been at least partially successful, implying reduced speeds, etc. It's probably not particularly more likely that either driver or passenger is subject to this impact.

I couldn't think of any other illustrative cases, but it does seem that the even considering that passengers are not present in all cases, the individual risk to a passenger is lower than the risk to a driver when there is one present.
I think the main idea is that you can run anything you want inside them, not just containers. AWS doesn't care or necessarily provide many conveniences for this use case, you have to roll your own.

This list is used to make fun of AWS for having *too many* options, so it's completely silly to criticize them for offering general purpose computing and then turning around and saying: "You're making our lives complicated! I can run containers that way! It's too confusing!".
Thanks - that is indeed very interesting, and I will spend my weekend checking it out.

>I think this would be how you would gauge success of the model.

Yes, exactly. I think there would definitely be edge-cases, but the general rule is that there should not be any undefined terms/words in the final dictionary. The degree to which this can be achieved is of course related to the cyclomatic complexity of the original materials. But this is why I want this tool - to see how effective it is for creating training materials that prepare students for obtuse subjects.
I think one of the problems is that people want to "de duplicate" knowledge and have such solutions with "DRY - don't repeat yourself".

I'm glad to hear that. I'm learning (and re-learning) sed myself, specially after long periods of not using it. So in a way I've written it for me too.

Btw, there is one more use case of a variable delimiter which is more arcane (and you can combine it with the other custom delimiter)

Same here. After hopping from software to software for a few years I realized I had been taking random notes in Sublime Text for years by reflex, I just had to get a little bit organized.

Since ~8 months ago I've been consistently keeping notes organized in markdown files using Sublime, and storing them in Dropbox.

To read/edit them on my phone I use Obsidian and I use Dropsync for Android (free) for better syncing.

I had planned on making a small website to show that info ( which airlines, routes have the 737 Max), but the main data providers ( Flightradar, Skyscanner) i thought of refused me access to that data. If anyone has another provider they can think of, don't hesitate to respond.
No, I started using Nim on esp32's due to the Rust/llvm toolchain issue and found it quite nice. I wrapped much of the esp-idf in a project called Nesper. Though I keep an eye on Rust in the embedded world. Rust type system does seem to require a lot more work creating shared hardware api's.

>In Germany a friend of mine told me that if they're not home at time of delivery Amazon's shipping partner will intentionally deliver to her neighbors

It's quite common in Germany to accept parcels for neighbors - but that's also because in Germany, a lot of people live in flats in small-ish housing blocks where you know your neighbors. So, like 6-12 flats per house, not high-rises.

But we have the same problems in Germany as described in the article: especially Amazon's own drivers frequently just don't try to ring but instead just leave the boxes outside or just throw them into the hall.

The German postal system has pretty good public lockers, years before we got Amazon Lockers here. Used them a lot, but lately due to fragmentation of the delivery market and those DHL lockers being reserved for the postal system, I more frequently have to drive to some bar or kiosk to fetch my boxes when the sender chooses a different logistics partner.

While I agree the common pattern is to use void*/dynamic dispatch, this is not necessary.

Local grocers here (UK) have security guards (not armed!) I once saw one chasing a shoplifter; the shoplifter ran faster. But most of the time they're just standing around, diddling their mobile device.

I don't think their purpose is to deter shoplifters; it's really to deter assaults on staff. Shoplifting is just part of the cost of doing business as a grocers.

I once saw a couple of armed cops in my local grocers; UK cops are generally not armed, but these guys were carrying big old pistols as they wandered through the aisles looking for sandwiches. I'm not keen on sharing supermarket aisles with gunmen, even if they're in uniform; so I complained. Armed cops should disarm (e.g. leave their guns in the cop-car) if all they're doing is shopping for lunch. I was treated with scorn.
What bugs me is so much of our (Australia's) government's policies over time have increasingly deferred to some ISO standard or another. These days most agencies / departments are stipulating some form of ISO27k compliance from vendors, a standard that can only be purchased from ISO.

Given we pay our taxes to the government, and I would have thought defining policy standards was one of the services we pay tax to have (what better thing for governments to do than what they're naturally geared towards - bureaucracy?), at the very least they would be able to directly and in detail outline the standards they expect and not simply handball the entire definition and auditing off to an international organisation and myriad consultancies with the stroke of a single bullet point requirement in the RFx.

The quagmire of ISO consultancies are often charging exorbitant rates to deliver essentially a set of Excel templates, when the hard work of adopting a standard really is all in-house and any company with a copy of the standards and the templates can pretty much get it all done internally then get certified.

And ultimately when it comes down to it, the standard doesn't really do much to improve quality outcomes, especially for an organisation that doesn't give a fig. A well intentioned company that's on the ball will already be following best practices, a shady company that plays cowboy will do the bare minimum to get the badge.

Anyway, just an axe I tend to grind. Standards definitely are needed and have their place but holy hell is it a mess ATM. There needs to be an independent open source standards body, ISO is a farce IMHO - the standards as they are written are actually decent but their business model and hands-off approach to auditing and verifying standard adherence is a big issue across multiple sectors I think.

Yup, the expectation from a huge portion of embedded developers is a complete package of tools where if it doesn't exist in the GUI, it doesn't exist. See here for an example of that attitude (relating to rust): https://www.reddit.com/r/embedded/comments/pwkr5w/writing_em...

(I think this attitude is one of the ways/reasons that embedded is a bit of a ghetto in the software development world. It also makes it far more difficult to have a codebase which supports multiple platforms)
Yes, sure, it's about the process and about the inescapable context with postmodern conceptual art. Whether it's mere splashes I will leave aside, but Pollock and Mondrian precisely brought the consideration of the process to a new light, that's part of what makes them significant figures. Mondrian didn't have mspaint.exe, those geometries meant something different at the time. Also, I don't think Picasso would have been so infatuated by cubism if computers with triangle mesh rendering and solid modeling had been around.
It's too easy to scapegoat the people with the least power and the least culpability with this attitude.
Also, does anyone else think that Seraphs and Ophanims must surely have been seen by someone who was either under the influence of drugs, or who was hallucinating for other reasons?

> A seraph (/ˈsɛrəf/, "the burning one"; plural seraphim /ˈsɛrəfɪm/) is a type of celestial or heavenly being originating in Ancient Judaism. The term plays a role in subsequent Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

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

> The ophanim (Hebrew: אוֹפַנִּים ʿōp̄annīm, "wheels"; singular: אוֹפָן ʿōp̄ān), alternatively spelled auphanim or ofanim, and also called galgalim (Hebrew: גַּלְגַּלִּים galgallīm, "spheres", "wheels", "whirlwinds"; singular: גַּלְגַּל galgal), refer to the wheels seen in Ezekiel's vision of the chariot (Hebrew merkabah) in Ezekiel 1:15–21. One of the Dead Sea scrolls (4Q405) construes them as angels; late sections of the Book of Enoch (61:10, 71:7) portray them as a class of celestial beings who (along with the Cherubim and Seraphim) never sleep, but guard the throne of God.

The title is a little over the top. E.O. Wilson is an excellent writer and speaker, but I wouldn’t necessarily call him a visionary. Extinction is, for better and for worse, part of the natural process here on earth. Over 99% of all species that ever existed are now extinct.

This is bad news for these efforts. Google Labs and Google X are where stuff goes to die.
Yet another reason why we'll end up with ubers + planes. Separate lines is not really feasible in most of EU.

I'm mostly pissed at the subsidizing part. There is a comment in this thread saying we should tax air companies more to convince people to take trains. I hate this with a burning passion. If an industry isn't working anymore, the solution isn't to throw money at it. It can find its own place, probably a mix of cargo and dedicated high speed lines.

Anyways, it's still early - right now there are precious few electric ubers, and none that are self driving.
Seems to me people such as Graeber are concentrated in the USA and only fight entrenched hierarchy there. And the US academia keeps attracting excellent people from all over the world. Is that really the best place to influence history? I think they could have bigger impact elsewhere, for example the fall of Iron Curtain was incredible opportunity but neocons snatched that quickly. Going to war zone like Rojava is other extreme. Why all the rest of the world between these extremes is not interesting for anarchists?
Yes, I believe all 737 MAX have MCAS.

To be fair, I wouldn't fly Ryanair even if they paid me. They have the absolute worst experience of any airline I've flown with. There's no reason to fly Ryanair unless you enjoy being treated like cattle, love filthy planes, like the thrill of the stampede to get a seat and the hordes of drunk people. There's something about Ryanair that brings out the worst in people.

It's only fitting they're gonna be buying these planes.
You would just need to provide something reliable that works and then most of your spend would likely be on marketing.

It's no coincidence than major VPN providers market absolutely everywhere at all times. Their ad spend must be enormous.
They're running out of people to abuse. Amazon seems to have bought up about a quarter of all advertising space on YouTube and is using it all to recruit employees. None of the ads are trying to get anyone to buy anything, just trying to get people to apply for jobs. I'm not sure I've seen Amazon advertise jobs on YouTube before this year and now the ads are ubiquitous.

I did something similar on accident. I used to keep all my development work synced with Dropbox and I had a work and a personal account. So any of my own projects would have /Dropbox (Personal)/ in the path which did catch some bugs. Dropbox renamed my folder to "Dropbox (Personal)" automatically when connecting a work account.

The merchant should always be able to verify that, be it for pants or complex electronics. Verifying a laptop hasn't been tampered with and reinstalling the OEM OS is easy.

The margin is irrelevant, the cost is what matters. Throwing away an item that cost 300k to make costs 300k, no matter if the margin is 10$ or 100k$.

So the problem is that Amazon is extremely non-transparent about the policy and what the triggers are, so you will never see it coming. This is exactly why it causes me so much anxiety, I've heard that if you have bad luck with one high value laptop being defective or God forbid being stolen off your porch, that can do you in. So I want to save all my social credit for actual nightmare scenarios like that rather than waste it on returning defective Chinese cables and trinkets. I also avoid buying high risk items off Amazon now. (Products I know from personal experience have a higher than 1 in 1000 defect rate.)

IMO a "standard" that isn't publicly available free of charge (like the laws) should have no legal standing (i.e. national bodies and laws should never defer to such standards or demand compliance). Otherwise it's just an opaque law that only the rich get to read.

Now if companies want to make gentleman's agreements to follow each others' paywalled standards.. by all means. But they don't get to complain if others violate these standards left and right.
