Generally requests in comments to cite sources or provide data are in fact simply disingenuous attempts to confuse the issue.

Regardless, your datas mean nothing -- They are only guaranteed to be incorrect for each individual case.

You say collectively drivers are dangerous, but the implication is that we would apply the same rule to all in the interest of 'fairness' or some other such subjective nonsense.

So it's 'Drag everyone down to the same low level?' Is that the solution?

NO.

You are allowed to make mistakes in a free country and pay the price. Saying you are not free to hurt others implies you would do so -- even in the face of a lifetime of safe driving and non-criminal behavior.

Those bodies compiling the statistic you quote exist for the sole purpose of bureaucratic enrichment through the creation of rules -- whether they are ever really needed is irrelevant to them.

I'll end with a quote from a man much wiser than any of us on this board.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

It's probably also helpful to join a community of people doing the activity. It's easier to stay motivated (and learn faster!) if you have a bunch of friendly people to talk to.
I think you are quibbling over the word "trust". How about you believe, based on your understanding of the system and the monetary cost of attacking it, that the virtualized computer will execute the way you expect it to execute?

The same way you'd "trust" that a safe deposit box will not be breached. It's certainly not impossible, but it's unlikely based on your understanding of how it works.
As I explained in my another comment on this thread, sometimes they can behave unpredictably — eg. car brakes without a need — causing someone else to crash into you (these are most common crashes I see in the city streets). Perhaps they are not useful for me because I am a very attentive driver (eg. I prefer not to talk on the phone even with the BT hands-free system while driving because it takes my attention away from the road), but they are far away from being all positives.

And how many more cars are going to be produced and bought because of "planned obsolescence" when electronic systems in modern cars start to give up (eg. electric cars and their engines should be able to last for a really long time)? Are they going to keep getting security updates for 20, 30 years? Or will we start seeing people doing something to fool their sensors so they crash?

While I like all the technology, it's short-sighted to think that the alternative is desired simply because people don't care about potentially hurting someone with their cars. Like everything else in life, this issue is multifaceted too.
I believe Wuling MiniEV is exactly that.

Current MiniEV ships with a display for instrument cluster, earlier ones had dials.

Agree, hands on is great and it's an awesome way to learn. Anything that gets hardware in to more hands is positive. However, limited programming of a third-party hardware platform is a far cry from learning "mobile robotics" in any intellectually honest sense, which was my original point. Useful indeed, but a small part of the overall equation.

The grandparent obviously has limited experience. Custom electromechanical systems, particularly mobile ones, are not like software. You can't spitball them together in five minutes for free, and you can't build more than a tiny percentage of things using ready-made parts if you care about weight/space/cost/repeatability/efficiency/etc. Particularly if you are planning to take them to market and want a defensible USP.

The point being made is that finance is far more exclusionary and racist/sexist than tech, but tech gets all the articles written about it. The onus would be on those with power to change hiring in finance, much like the big tech companies are tasked with making tech more inclusive.
I consider myself a person of above-average intelligence, insight, and drive. But working in Silicon Valley, I find myself constantly surrounded by people who are complete outliers. People who I consider close friends who I think are absolutely smarter, more creative, more driven, more knowledgeable than me.

And you know what? You can choose to compare yourself to them (and find yourself lacking) or you can choose to use it as inspiration. Look to those people for the traits you want to find and nurture within yourself. Actively choose to include those people in your life and let yourself become better for having them around. It's never too late to change how you look at things, or to become something different than what you are right now.
So the car requires a remote connection to work?

It took me long as heck to find a quality non-smart TV because I didn't want the lack of control, programmed obsolescence and shitty-ness of smart TV software.

I wonder if I won't be able to have a proper quality car really owned and controlled by me in the future.

>You misunderstand. Those who don't pay still have the problem. They will invest in solutions. Some (like good well tested backups) only affect them, but others like hardening software make it harder for ransomeware to get anyone in the first place.

Even those who pay are also investing in solutions, but the reality is that throwing money at this isn't going to make ransomware go away. Billions have been poured into this, and billions more will follow. What does that money get us? Mostly snake oil antivirus products, and big full page ads in the Economist for said snake oil products. I can't imagine that we're going to see significant results on a timeframe that you'd consider acceptable, maybe in 20 years.

>True. Though the less companies that pay, the more examples of not paying get out there and so the more likely it is other companies will get good protection for themselves.

>Probably not enough to really affect profits too much, but still helpful to limit the amount of investment "big evil" can afford to do.

Honestly, I think stories of companies paying out huge amounts has more of a chilling effect on ransomware than stories of companies refusing to pay. The huge ransom payment gives everyone a concrete number to be afraid of, a refusal to pay is a non-story unless it causes devastating damage to the company in question.

>Just a little bit. I'm looking to work with them more because for my area quality is important and we have reached the limits of what unit and manual testing can do. (but not the limits of other automatic code analysis which I'm also looking into)

The problem here is that you will never be able to produce a useful formally proven general purpose desktop software stack that would present meaningful advantages over current systems. Formal verification really only works for very simple pieces of software, and in any case, formal verification is only as good as the model you are verifying against.

We're not going to see formally verified web browsers, nor are we going to get a formally verified microsoft office suite.

He Created the Oregon Trail
I always assumed unlocking your Tesla with the phone would use Bluetooth, NFC, even ad-hoc but I never expected it to be dependent on a round-trip to a internet-connected server. That seems like a really crap design and ripe for security issues, especially since it seems the Tesla customer support team has the ability to unlock cars remotely too.
What is the “true cost” of electricity?
Don't feel bad. Don't forget that a lot of opportunities in life are positional: there's a contest to get them, and the loser can lose for entirely different reasons than competence. A tiny bit of noise is all it takes to change the winner from one person to another. And for every contest where there's a line, there are a lot of people who are really close to the line.

And every opportunity that someone gets tends to give them more down that path later on. All those smart people doing stuff get to do more smart people stuff. That guy who scraped into medical school is a doctor, and the guy who almost made it isn't. Same goes for almost every profession.

What you can do however, is to learn those things that are not subject to competition. Basically everything that you can learn academically is that kind of thing, until you need to get a PhD advisor to take you on. With a bit of intellectual maturity, you can also know whether you understand something. The satisfaction is entirely your own.

Ultimately, positional goods aren't actually all that satisfying. Do you even want the respect of someone who respects you for being rich or accomplished? You can have all the friends in the world regardless.
There are 4 ways to unlock a Tesla.

* Via Bluetooth from your phone. Model 3 and Y used this as the primary way of unlocking. This does not require a Tesla server. It's just local communication between the car and the phone. The car and the phone are paired.

* Via a key card. Model 3 and Y use this as the method when you get the car until you pair it with the phone and what you use if you want to give someone temporary access to the car (e.g service, valets).

* Via a key fob. Model S and X used this in the past (not sure if the latest refresh changed this but older S and X vehicles didn't support Bluetooth or Key cards) as the primary method.

* Remotely via the phone app. As in you make an API call to Tesla with your Tesla credentials and Tesla sends a remote command to the car. This requires Internet access for the device making the request and to the car in order to receive the command. This last bit is what's broken. Given the requirements this has never been very reliable and nobody would want to use this on a day to day basis.

So I seriously doubt very many people are locked out of their cars. I am able to get into my 2015 Model S via the key fob and my 2018 Model 3 via Bluetooth from my phone.
I suspect these companies view upgrading core functionality tech as a cost center to be avoided at all costs and for as long as humanly possible. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", I hear them bark from their bean-counting management perch.
So too were the companies that were content with their horse drawn delivery trucks to move their goods around town.

We now have a better, faster, cheaper (by orders of magnitude) way to move not goods but value through a network.

Obviously neither of us know how long it'll take for the legacy systems to completely die off, but they will. So I'll simplify the bet to: when, not if. Still game?
Since simply updating the dependency can easily break the resulting package, this need to re-test is not something that can be avoided by making some other choice of packaging e.g. the current one - it's not adding a new burden, it's acknowledging that it already exists (indeed, IMHO much of what the original article complains about). If there are no resources to carry that burden, then the only option seems to be to wait for an updated release from the upstream, whenever that arrives.
I'm really happy with my WASD, as my first proper mechanical keyboard. Very sturdy, looks nice, has a detachable cable, and you can order them with completely blank keycaps (something I've wanted for ages).

The main downside is that setting up macros or alternate configurations is a pain. It involves a lot of very specific key presses, with only minimal feedback on the board itself. A proper software utility would be a wonderful feature.
I think people in general have periods of intense creativity, followed by long period of learning or living. The more you invest in your “learning periods”, the more often you’ll be able to enjoy these creativity periods.
Posting low quality anecdata on drugs is disrespectful for the time of people who can validate the data quality, and outright dangerous for the people who can not.
How would you feel about public lockers near high traffic areas as a potential solution to that? I know that there is the potential these will get robbed anyways, but cars get robbed all the time anyways (SF).

There is definitely maintenance and cultural expenses for public lockers, but there’s no way it’s anywhere near as expensive or time consuming as maintaining roads.

> There is one setting where once a day delivery is beyond acceptable: Any time you would be willing to send a written letter by postal mail.

Yep, that is a good heuristic!

I think it could be generalized by saying that anything that isn't time-bound or time-sensitive (i.e. making plans) is fine for once-daily delivery. Everything that is time-sensitive or perhaps just quick and low-effort should be kept in the instant realm, because that's why the Internet got so huge in the first place. The only problem was that absolutely everything became instant and no non-instant ways to communicate online were left, thereby making it pretty hard to have correspondence like people used to correspond. Which is the problem Pony tries to address.
Not exactly what you asked for (full email client), but DeltaChat is an email client disguised as an instant messaging app.
At least I have more than empty words to support my claim.
Capex (hardware/space) + Opex (internet/electricity) = ROI

In order to get more consistent payouts, we mine to a mining pool, which pays us for our shares of work. Since a mining pool condenses a lot of hashrate, the frequency is higher. There are various schemes on top of that (pay per share, etc..), but that is the simple explanation.

This is the 'centralization' argument to mining, except that miners can change to another pool near instantly. If a pool starts to misbehave, then miners will dump them immediately. There is precedent for this, ghash.io.

There are a lot of upfront costs (hardware/space), but once you've paid for those and you have cheap enough electricity, then the rest is profit.

I personally feel that as long as you are above a certain aptitude threshold (one that's closer to the average than the best) in some field, you can achieve a lot more than the average person through the power of routine daily work. Actually creating sticking to that routine seems to be the biggest hurdle.

For example, I know many devs (myself included) that work professionally on big and successful projects as part of a team. We often work on projects in our spare time but they tend to get dropped within a few weeks and never really go anywhere.

It feels a lot more like a battle of willpower than one of skill in these situations. With the willpower to stick to a project and work on it for even two hours a day for a full year, I have no doubt it'd end up as something to be proud of.

At some point, I read a blog post about how we have a finite amount of willpower per day, and focusing on a task costs a large chunk of it. However, once you do something regularly enough it becomes a habit/routine, and the willpower cost decreases making things easier. I'd like to believe that's true, though have not committed hard enough to my own work to know if that's really the case.
This. And npm isn't the only instance. (Appreciate the voice in the wilderness Marcus.)
The vast majority of software ever written is not only not executing on any computers today, but is completely lost to the ether.

Get used to your contributions in this field being irrelevant to the world at large, especially in the long-term. It's a statistical probability.

My personal happiness went up substantially when I started building physical things in the real world. Writing software is a great way to earn money, but making a lasting positive impact on the general public is a lot easier to achieve if you do something tangible, like build/restore housing.
I find that the biggest aspect for development is keeping track of information (eg. documentation, tasks, playbooks, etc)

They are only invisible for a laser with a color with low energy that can only "move" the atoms. When light colides with an atom and changes direction, the atom has some speed after the colission.

If the atoms can't move because there are other atoms blocking them, then the can't redirect the light. [I oversimplified a few details here.]

If you use a laser with other color, then the light can be absorbed by the electrons in the atoms, and the electrons can jump and later emit the light. So it will not be visible with another laser. [Probably an ultraviolet laser is enough.]

Bluetooth keys work but not all Tesla cars have those. Some cars unlock by phone via the app through an internet connection, it seems.

I'm surprised remote unlocking is as easy as calling a number and convincing an operator that you're the owner. Another reason to avoid the brand, I suppose.

I have a hard time understanding what you mean by welcoming them, or feeling them through. But if I interpret that as “accepting it”, as in understanding that it’s totally fine and that pressure is always created from comparing yourself, then I agree.

Yes, you can unlock your car with the NFC keycards (or app via NFC), the bluetooth fobs or bluetooth phone, with no connectivity for either.

The problem that happened last time was that people opened the app to do something and logged out to try and fix it, thus clearing their credentials, and then can't log back in, and cant log back in to reauthenticate their device.
