Wifi? Ha! Google Maps has prompted me to turn on my camera for improved location accuracy a couple of times.

And I'm not sure why switching map apps will really help long term. Can't Google just bake in WiFi WAR driving into the location services API?
I grew up in a part of Ontario where total whiteouts can happen fairly frequently on both major highways leading in and out of my small town. It is in fact possible to drive dozens of km in near or total whiteout conditions simply by the hazard lights of the car ahead of you. You very frequently will see lines of cars km long, all going <20km/h, white knuckled and crawling home. Maybe one in every couple thousand goes in the ditch.

I don't think vision-based FSV will ever reliably handle winter conditions like this. The engineering and QA effort just isn't worth the cost-benefit when you factor in the very small amount of drivers who are consistently exposed to conditions like that. My father, who spent his career commuting to the city on that highway, was disappointed when I explained this to him.
Draw Causal Models
> Traffic engineers study roadways and recommend speed limits based on safety and human behavior.

This isn't really true: what usually happens is that they either go with a default or they do a study and set the limits at the 85th percentile. For a separated highway, that works fairly well but it often has bad results for mixed spaces: the people commuting through a neighborhood, for example, are trying to go as fast as possible but the people who live there are more concerned about safety, the impacts of those decisions on how they use their space (I grew up hearing that “nobody walks in California” which really meant “nobody wants to walk 3 miles further to use the few signaled crosswalks”), etc. A big problem here are the outliers: most of the risk comes from the top of the speed distribution — even if half of the drivers scrupulously follow the speed limit, the speeders are the ones who will influence people's safety perception of the road.
Many years ago I was surprised to find out how traffic-detecting intersection lights worked.

I assumed computer vision had been solved and they had reliable enough detection of cars, so you could just plop a few cameras in the intersection to detect waiting cars and start the transition when safe.

Nope! Instead, large numbers of intersections are dug up and electromagnets are installed to detect cars. These are very sensitive (but can miss cyclists) and super-simple; a microcontroller can reliably detect a car as a pulse on a line.
So if an app knows your exact lat long after 30s of spending battery power there's no privacy issue but if it uses wifi SSIDs around you to do the job in 2s with less power it's a breach of privacy?
How water walk go a pumpkin belly??
What does FSD really give you, then? It doesn't reduce the mental toll of staying alert and anticipating the road. It's probably only safe to use on the highway. On the highway, it provides the same automated acceleration/braking you could get from radar-assisted cruise control you can find on any modern car. Like cruise control, it's probably a good idea not to rely on it to avoid large stationary obstacles like a turning freight truck. It does purport to control the steering wheel too, but you can't really trust it not to steer into highway medians either.

They should just rename it to something boring like "camera-assisted cruise control" and remove the beta label so everyone can use it.
iPhones are strictly worse for what OP is complaining about. You cannot get your location at all in any app without enabling WiFi scanning.

OP's solution of installing another Android maps app is probably the best available option that fits OP's privacy requirements.
One question I've always had about Tesla's sensor approach: why not use binocular forward facing vision? Seems like it would be a simple and cheap way to get reliable depth maps, which might help performance in the situations which currently challenge the ML. Detecting whether a stationary object (emergency vehicle or child or whatever) is part of the background would be a lot easier with an accurate depth map, or so it seems to me.

Plus using the same cameras would help prevent the issues with sensor fusion of the radar described by Tesla due to the low resolution of the radar.

I know the b-pillar cameras exist, but I don't think their FOV covers the entire forward view, and I don't think they have the same resolution as the main forward cameras (partly due to wide FOV).

I'd love to hear why I'm wrong though.

this is basically the micro example behind the deindustrialization of the United States. Mitt Romney type corporate raider MBAs outsourcing everything to China for cost savings to maximize short term profit

Is there a consensus on whether a nuclear missile shield would be feasible, regardless the technology?

Basically, if the US invested 1% of the GDP into developing a missile shield, could it achieve let's say a 98% success rate against incoming missiles?
In hindsight, it should have been structured like Germany's Kurzarbeit ("short-time working") program. Impacted businesses simply furlough employees they don't have work for. Employers continue to pay furloughed employees 70% of their salary, and the government reimburses businesses for the cost of the furloughed employees' salaries.

There are no loans, no unemployment insurance. There is nothing employees need to apply for, and no Byzantine rules. Employees just get furloughed and continue to get 70% of their paycheck in the exact same way they always have, and businesses get reimbursed.

When the crisis is over, businesses bring their employees back to work, and there's no major economic churn. Everyone goes right back to what they were doing before, assuming they still want to.

Growth is primarily due to demand - by advertisers, not the users. Online ad spending increased during the pandemic and is expected to continue to grow throughout this decade. Advertisers flush with cash are looking to spend it online. And google, fb, etc are more than happy to oblige. Google is simply increasing the supply ( ads ) to meet the demand ( advertisers ). This sadly means we'll be seeing more and more ads online...
The obvious retort is don't go to those cities. I've never heard anyone pitch a relaxing holiday in Juarez.

On the other hand, there are plenty of cities in Mexico with lower rates than major cities in the US. I've had perfectly lovely times in New Orleans and St Louis, despite the murder rate. I've also had perfectly lovely times in:

Zacatecas 43.0
Morelia 39.7
Guadalajara 38.07

...and dozens of other Mexican cities that didn't make the top 50 list so I'm having a hard time finding statistics.

If you're comfortable in Baltimore or Detroit, you should be vastly more comfortable with most of the cities in Mexico.

"Country XYZ has more murder hotspots" is a useless metric. One of the parent comments said "Mexico is a scary place. Violence and or the threat of violence reigns supreme. People are afraid to be outside at night. Every scalable wall is covered either with broken glass or razor wire." That is nonsense, it's a huge country and very little of it looks like Juarez.
This question presumes the envisioned future is where each person has their own non-custodial wallet that holds stablecoins that they use in transactions, no?

If the current trajectory is any indication, it's more likely that everyday users would mostly hold custodial accounts at organizations (e.g. Coinbase, like banks) and use stablecoins that way, which control aggregate wallets, and trackability stays within the org level (also like banks). Probably not as easy for the public to access (possible in data hacks) but just as easy for government access.

I haven't fully figured it out, but yes, I think people doubt masking was really a public health measure.

My hypothesis about what's going on in people's subconscious, based in part on my own thoughts: your face is a key part of your identity, and pressure or mandate to cover your face is in no small part a demand to cover your identity in the name of conformity. Some people react to this very strongly, if they're inclined to believe "the authorities" want to enforce conformity that way. Add the plain physical discomfort and some flip flopping from the CDC, and you've got a mess.
You can always launder money to defeat such a trail. I'm not going to go into detail about how, just in case my ignorant ramblings have some novel techniques in there, but it's definitely possible.

What part of "likely to cause confusion, deception, or mistake about the source of the goods and/or services" isn't clear to you? McDonalds and Starbucks both provide wi-fi as an enticement for their customers not as a public service. Confusing people as to the origin of the "McDonalds WiFi" SSID pretty clearly fits within that definition. Then there's the "tortious interference" angle, and the fact that they don't have to win any kind of suit to make your life miserable. If you sell a product that uses their trademark to degrade the value of a service they provide, that's more than enough for them to get you into court.

Do you like making lawyers (on both sides) rich? Or tying up courts so they can't hear cases with more merit? Because even if you win, those are the outcomes. Vexatious litigation is a real thing, and practically impossible to prosecute. It can happen to you. The real world doesn't care about your notions of abstract justice, and it's not dystopian to recognize that. If anything, it's your utopian view that's "wonderful" (i.e. appealing but unrealistic) here.

Not related to Google maps, but just today I got tired of the Amazon app sending me "you might like this deal" notifications and dug into whether it's possible to disable them.

You can, but if you do, Amazon will no longer send Amazon "Smile" micro-donations to whatever charity you've selected: https://i.imgur.com/wNAkUAT.jpeg .

I can't say that this is underhanded, but it does cast into sharp relief the fact that Amazon is a $1.5 trillion dollar company that generates upwards of $3B in yearly profit, and they're jerking you around, dangling the pennies they would otherwise send to a charity, unless you let them feed you product recommendations in OS notifications. (If you just disallow the entire Amazon app from sending notifications, as far as I can tell they still give the charity whatever 0.5% cut.)

So I have to choose between 1) allowing them to send me product recommendations, 2) a poor UX because I don't get any notifications at all, or 3) just not sending the charity any of the scraps of my Amazon transactions. I chose 3 and cut the charity a larger check than usual.
The only reason a recruiter would ever negotiate your comp up is that you are asking way below market. Then they will indeed "negotiate" up to the lowest bound of the comp band for the position. Otherwise, it makes no sense to try to get a few grand more in commission at the cost of risking the whole placement. In fact, all recruiters I've ever worked with tried to negotiate me down instead of negotiating with the HM on my behalf.
I'd be pretty happy with a search engine that lived on my local machine, just for pages I've already visited.

That might be a good first step towards what you're planning. Step two would then be figuring out how to do federated queries across users with similar interests.

From a privacy standpoint, I'd be less uncomfortable letting random strangers run (sanitized) queries against my browsing history (stored locally), than I would be uploading my browser history to a third party.
This is really cool, but I was a little disappointed. I clicked on it thinking it'd be the exact opposite: An implementation of git with all the version control stored in a sqlite DB. I've always wanted git-like branching, forking, commit, access to my datasets.
Citation?

I've talked about this with my lawyer friends (I am a lawyer also), and we've never been able to figure out exactly what this phrase means. Surely it isn't meant to be interpreted literally, as this would imply that the lower speed only applies when multiple children (not a single child) are present.
"Electrical pulse" as in using some electricity rather than using a missile. Iron Dome missiles are cheap as SAMs go--they're short range and don't have to cope with countermeasures, but electricity is far cheaper. Iron Beam costs will basically be manning and wear rather than expended ammo.

I was with you to the end... how can the Fed print more stable coins? Unless you're suggesting that they'd issue their own stable USD, which honestly would be a great idea. IMO it seems more likely that they'd print more traditional dollars via congressional authorization or treasury nonsense instead.
Cabbage patch dolls and pet rocks also work very well at letting people keep and transfer cabbage patch dolls and pet rocks, but that doesn't make cabbage patch dolls and pet rocks a sensible base for the economy.

Speaking of Bluetooth, can anyone ELI5 to me why bidirectional Bluetooth audio (sound/microphone, i.e. headset mode) works so much better on Android than on Linux (PulseAudio/Pipewire)? People keep telling me that bidirectional audio is always bad but on Android it seems way less bad and voices actually sound pretty natural. What magic codec are they using?

Second question: Why is Android able to switch seamlessly between unidirectional and bidirectional modes while on Linux it seems this is not even possible with a USB dongle(?!) Shouldn't a USB dongle be able to just pretend it's a regular sound card and then take care of the mode/codec switching automatically? I.e. without telling the driver (i.e. the Linux system/PulseAudio/Pipewire) that they are actually talking to a Bluetooth system? Meanwhile, on Windows and Mac this seems to work fine…

Overall, I'm just baffled by how bad the situation with Bluetooth audio is on Linux. I mean it's 2022, god dammit.

he waymo vehicles seem to have a radar and that does operate in the rain. Also, the waymo vehicles have safety drivers, so my statement currently holds as they technically haven't released the vehicle in that environment in a full self driving mode.

In Vietnam the problem was the 15ish year long civil war predating all the things.
In Afganistan, the same thing, only longer. This stuff can't be fixed by landing some marines, it only turns it into a shit-throwing match about who has better SAMs and logistics. Which is a definition of a proxy war.

Yeah, that makes sense. EVs need motors and someone has to make them. Manufacturers will buy whatever has the best specs for the least cost that matches the vehicle. Some companies will naturally specialize on motors, even though motors are basically good enough already.

If this smaller motor is also cheaper because it uses less material that would be a win, but I suspect that's probably not the case. They also don't mention efficiency in the article, and that can be more important than size/weight.
Yeah, exactly. It's the authorities making sure that these groups are doing what they say they're doing.

Devil's advocate: is this altogether a bad thing? Hear me out (thought experiment). COVID relief wasn't supposed to be welfare. Its purpose could be viewed as being not a safety net, but rather compensation for allowing the economy to be shut down.

In that sense, it makes sense that much of the recompense goes to the people who were asked to shutter their businesses, put up signage and buy new equipment and reduce capacity, make their employees check vax cards at the door, etc.

"Relief" could be a misnomer for a fair payment in return for cooperation with a government lockdown program.
