While that's absolutely correct, fortunately it's only true for Germany, which will further cripple itself in the tech world. The Germans are already decades behind the US in that space, this will just keep things as they are, which I appreciate. Were the Germans acting rationally, applying their potential fully, they'd be a global tech juggernaut, including in software. The more they trip themselves up, the longer the US can easily keep its crown and the trillions of dollars that go with it.

Do you have any good reading for this?

In my naive mind, it’s doomed by the fact that we drive to work in the day, then all come home, together, in the evenings, when the sun is on its way down. Or is the plan to have two way power chargers at businesses too? Otherwise, all these batteries are disconnected when you need them.
So they're recalling a feature that was explicitly and intentionally built to do something that runs afoul of the law, at the user's behest. Again this is by design, meeting their own requirements. For their self driving technology that is already labeled "beta".

Why anyone in their right mind would willingly use this stuff in a risk-intensive life/death scenario like driving on public roads remains beyond me.

(Yes I lose points every time I criticize Tesla online but I will keep doing it until someone makes it make sense or the company finally goes out of business for continuing this type of irresponsible behavior.)
This was a very far-sighted move by, I believe, Paul Ginsparg back in the early days. It significantly increases the headache of submitting to the arXiv because you have to get your tex file to compile with the tex distribution on their servers rather than just on your own home box. But it makes the arxiv vastly more future proof than it would be if you could just upload PDFs.
Does this blame shifting really happen though? I've never seen recruiters get blamed for a bad hire. I've seen them get blamed for sending people that fail at the first interview though.
Those are links to articles, not the full articles themselves. Similar to the "continued on page x" in the printed version, you will need to go to the full article to read its contents.

Are there any software firms, or individuals, who volunteer to accept liability, as a competitive advantage?
There is a lot to disagree with here. First, the article itself provides an example of an army with a superior fighting force that had far fewer casualties than the other side, yet still lost the war. That was due to the civilians back at home lacking the stomach for a long, protracted war abroad. So even if one side has superior strength, and even if the side with the superior strength wins every battle, they might still lose the war.

Another issue is your implicit assumption that the side with the superior fighting force will always win the war, but I don't think you can make that assumption. Just like the better football team can lose to the underdog, there is a stochastic element to warfare. A sudden bit of bad weather can turn the tide of a battle. There are countless other elements that are unobservable and unpredictable that can decide which side wins.

There are also asymmetric payoffs to going to war. A nation might have a slim chance of victory, but the cost of defeat or surrender might be genocide or subjection. How do you assign a payoff to the choice "surrender" when the outcome is the destruction of your nation as it once existed?

I agree with the concern for several related reasons, but the pendulum had to swing eventually. We are at a point, where too much critical infrastructure relies on software. If those building blocks crumble each time someone sneezes at them, some remedy is necessary.

Regarding the start-up argument, the amusing upshot ( for Germany ) of this is that they get software that has been already beta tested in US ( think Tesla autopilot ).
Clickbait? They were designed to do a 'rolling stop' and the authorities objected. So they will remove the feature.

The title is designed to make you think maybe a Tesla is barreling through an intersection after missing a stop sign. That's not the case at all.

Yeah, because arguing with loud racists is a good use of time.
Hate to break this to you but even a website that consists of nothing but HTML (no CSS/JS) is still an "app". It's still being executed in the runtime environment of your browser when you load it. Just because the website chose to limit it's use of the features to just one (HTML) doesn't mean it's not an app (when executed in a web browser).

If you read that HTML in a text editor then yeah, that's not an app but if you're reading it in a web browser you're "running it".
I agree with you. Real self driving is impossible, IMO. Current "AI" tech will never get us there. And even if we cracked real AGI, I don't see a reason to expect the computer intelligence to be a better driver than a human. AGI does not mean the absence of emotions, distractions, or miscalculations.

We as a society should be realistic about the advantages and limitations of self driving technology. On a highway with well marked lanes and no construction, pedestrians, etc, self driving is awesome. That is the use case that should be optimized and encouraged by states. Everything else should realistically be banned.
Sibling makes a good suggestion to read the better physics reply, and my response to it.

Anyons don’t only exist in lower dimensions: because of how knot theory works, we found the simplest cases in a highly confined electrons — but there’s higher dimensions analogs for higher dimensional knots.

You no longer get anyons from particles exchanging position, but rather, from when fields tangle in 2-knots.

However, the rings in a magnetic field form a torus, so tangles in the magnetic field can (theoretically) knot fairly easily, eg from energies swirls in an accretion disk.

That's exactly the same what was said for the GDPR... and no one will deny that the GDPR was effective in forcing the industry to adhere to at least some common sense standards.

And yes, part of both the GDPR and the CCC proposal is effectively weeding out those whose business model is solely to undercut legitimate competition by putting their customers at risk of losing control of their data or of wasting money on products that are effectively a danger to their data sometimes not even a year after they were bought (looking at you here, cheap-ass Android phones).

I get your point, but I skipped the details there in order to not water down my story there.

In my city, I‘m just using car sharing anymore and they just have ID.3s. Now, half of them come with the feature on, the others off.

If you let the brake go at the traffic lights because the exact same model of car you took on the other way had auto hold activated, but this one doesn’t and the car suddenly starts moving towards the car in front out of the blue, believe me it feels quite critical.
This doesn't have to be state law, it can be municipal law. All it takes is city council putting up a sign that says "15 MPH when children are present".

Tell HN: Recovering 2FA accounts is difficult if your phone is stolen
This morning, my phone and wallet were stolen from my car.

I immediately came home, tried logging into my online banking accounts, but couldn't due to 2FA.
Fortunately, I was able to call them to have my credit cards locked.
Of course, I won't be able to log in until a replacement phone arrives.

I then tried to log into Gmail and Fastmail. No luck without 2FA. No way to recover the account by providing other personal info that I'm aware of.

There should be a way to provide personal info in order to recover an account when one's phone gets stolen.
I think the fallacy is when factors not captured or tracked by data are treated as non-existing or consequential. In Vietnam, they tried to quantify how pacified each village was as measurement of success. It did not work. This isn't saying no data is better, just that data on its own does not win a war, or the hearts and minds of villagers.

I really don't think the GP is wrong here. Yes there are ideologues, but there were plenty in the Japanese high command who understood logistics and understood that war with the U.S. would end the Japanese empire. It was the same way with Germany. The people who understood logistics knew it would be absolutely impossible to win a two front war and nearly impossible to win a one front war with the U.S. having a thumb on the scales just with lend lease alone. Germany sent their best generals to the east and they knew they had no hope but to delay the inevitable, and no alternative but to listen to Hitler. They continued to fight because to deny Hitler's madness often meant less than favorable outcomes for these commanders than making peace with Allies in 1945. The war in Japan ended when it became impossible for the emperor to continue with the cognitive dissonance and ignore the fact that the fight had ended years before it even began. Logistics have won every war there ever was.

> You really don't have to run interference for Microsoft

I beg your pardon? I think you need to re-acquaint yourself with the HN Guidelines:

"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."

> Consider that games and accounts themselves are a high value target. Your League or WoW account alone can be worth hundreds to thousands and then some. Putting all your gaming eggs in one basket, so to speak, isn't that great.

I think even you can see the flaw in your argument there. It's the accounts that are at risk and it doesn't matter which platform you're using. A determined miscreant will get control and it doesn't matter a hoot whether you were running Windows, Linux, MacOS etc.
> Can you imagine a train where the 100% of the onus of auto-baking falls on the train itself, without zero input from sensors and towers outside the train?

I'm not hugely familiar with trains, but as I understand it, trains in the general case have a much worse braking distance to visibility ratios than cars do.

Roads are generally designed to be safely navigable in good conditions when their occupants are obeying the speed limit, without external sensors. Rail lines are designed to be safely navigable only with the aid of external sensors. That's why trains can take blind corners at speed.

It's mentioned only in passing in the article as if it's no big deal, when it's critically important to the geopolitical examination of the region.

Not to mention the PLA and Hamas literally want to genocide the Jews and have repeatedly rejected more than fair solutions.
Reveel | Senior and Mid Data Engineers | REMOTE or ONSITE in Irvine, CA | full-time

Reveel helps small and medium sized companies save money on their parcel shipping costs. We do this by making it clear where a company can get better discounts on their carrier agreements, and by recommending changes to their behavior that can save them money.

All of this is accomplished through software on our platform. This is why we need Data Engineers on our team. So far we've done pretty well by building out our capabilities with standard backend dev solutions (Postgres, DynamoDB, S3, etc), but our data infrastructure could use an upgrade now that we're seeing some success with client signups. We are planning a move to Databricks and would like a Data Engineer that has experience with that platform.

I'm not dismissing the issue you encounter: it is stupid and ugly.

I'm merely pointing out that your analysis of why it happens, is lacking.

It reminds me of customers who submit a feature-request or issue in the form of a concrete solution, rather than a good description of the problem they encounter.

"I want a dropdown with flags to switch to another language" vs "I cannot switch languages".

The latter presumes nothing, leaves the implementation to product-manager, -owner, UX designers or developers. The former is not only bad (flags for languages are stupid) it has a big chance of being dismissed entirely. Big chance the dev sees it and thinks "hmm, out of date, we already have that dropdown", but that due to a bug, setup, caching, incompatibility, browser-plugin or whatnot, it doesn't show up for the client.

I can think of a use for this.

If you can make a system work properly with every package installed, then you could in theory get rid of the concept of installation entirely. Use a FUSE file system to make it appear as if every package is installed, and then block any program that opens a non-installed file until the package has been downloaded and installed for real. Now you don't have to know about packages or pacman anymore. Just do ls /usr/bin to see what's available in the index, and then type in what you want and hit enter. Wait a few seconds and the program will start.

However, for this to work, does require that the system be stable with every package "installed" simultaneously, so it'd mean fixing UIs that assume only a few options are available.
