The secret ingredient is an expression that does not literally mean "the ingredient inside the bread."

Regardless of that, the word ingredient can certainly be used to mean the components added to a sandwich. I thought this was obvious by the context, but apologies if that wasn't clear.
“Self driving” means that it is far more likely for a human driver to override the car in panic and hit the children than it is for the car to hit the children autonomously.
It's always been like this, I've seen enough industry insiders write their own laws at the local government level, just a bigger game at the national level :P

> Since 1950, there have been 32 nuclear weapon accidents, known as "Broken Arrows." A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft or loss of the weapon. To date, six nuclear weapons have been lost and never recovered.

I wonder how MLK Jr. would have fared if America had a CBDC in the 1960s. MLK was arrested a total of 29 times--given multiple "warnings" as you say--and I doubt he would have been as successful in his goals if the government had an effortless ability to suspend his and his supporters ability to transact instead of having to send in violent thugs and dogs. Every protest is an occupation, a riot, if it's on the "wrong" side.
Why BSD? Because I trust the competence of BSD developers a lot more than linux developers. Furthermore, I don't want to contribute to monoculturization of IT by stuffing the penguin into every single thing in sight.

The question rather is... why would anyone want to run linux when *BSD (and illumos) are available?
Functions like the ones you are describing probably shouldn't exist!

I have no doubt that a sizable portion of these functions' bodies is dedicated to figuring out which type each of our input variables represent (from our wide variety). So now instead of having our editor/compiler help us out, we are now actually writing code to figure it out ourselves... this is more absurd (and less efficient).

And FWIW, using union types makes it trivial to denote that a function can accept a wide variety of types in a type-safe way. But guess what you will be doing first thing in the function body? Discriminating that union!

"There's a good bit about this in the World War Z book. India and Pakistan have been on the brink of nuclear war for so long that there's tons and tons of tools and deterrents in place to prevent war. There's a nuclear hotline between states, all kinds of spies, well known procedures, etc that exist to prevent accidental or hasty all-out war. That's why in the book there's a nuclear exchange between Iran and Pakistan instead of Pakistan and India, because that diplomatic infrastructure doesn't exist between those two countries."

I have always assumed our future fascist overlords will use the curated ad profiles to bootstrap a social credit system. So instead of clicking on any ad I need one that only clicks on regime supporting, pro-social, good citizen ads.

Yes, they would have to create new laws to ban adblockers. With the justification that those laws are necessary to save most of the internet.
OK doomer.
I'm going to submit that some of these COVID protests are not COVID protests. They are inequality protests, but seriously talking about inequality has been pushed out of the Overton window across much of the American political landscape. As a result the anger "sublimates" out about other issues.

The right does a good job guiding the anger of the working class toward issues that have nothing to do with inequality like COVID, race, immigrants, trans people, etc. Meanwhile the left offers up a totally out of touch message that doesn't resonate at all, or offers them welfare without understanding that these people consider welfare to be something to be ashamed about. They want productive work.

You know... we have a housing crisis in this country. A lot of these people could find work building adequate housing for the US population, but that would threaten high real estate valuations...

We also have a lot of infrastructure that needs building, but we may have to wait for the generation that was brainwashed to believe that infrastructure (except more roads) is communism to retire.

There are plenty of jobs but we won't create them. We'd better get on it.

It’s also worth mentioning that gcc has a command-line flag -fdump-ada-spec that will generate an Ada spec (.ads file - Ada version of a .h) from a C header for easy binding with C libraries.
Too bad modern Firefox doesn't actually have the support to run full featured uBlock Origin since they moved to the Chrome extensions model and threw away the entire Firefox add-on ecosystem. Actual Firefox forks like Sea Monkey and Palemoon still support the fully featured uBlock Origin.
Granted there's a lot of hype and the tech is not there yet, but seems the tech absolutely can be developed.

As far as the safety, these things can be indemnified and that will pave the way. Don't see any problem insurers can price accidents and injuries from autonomous cars. Also certainly plausible they will be able to be made safer than human driven.
Might not be a choice. I had coworkers in Crimea when that annexation happened working remote for a US company, and they not only were immediately let go - but were not given the rest of their paycheck. Not because we wanted to, but because it was suddenly illegal to employ them and illegal to send money to them due to sanctions.

Jb is in Czech officially, but these sanctions are also far more inclusive this time.
> would adhere to the same principles in any other similar case?

Consistency isn’t the paramount principle in a moral system. If you have a compulsion for kicking babies, controlling that impulse most of the time is better than going hog wild on a kindergarten because you lost control once.

Facebook is an awful company. But it’s doing the right thing here. That action commendable, even if it’s doer is usually not.
What a truly beautiful and elegant design. This is so reminiscent of the hacker ethos in how it captures the potential and love of technology. How can a project this creative not be more famous? I have seen many of these kinds of 'small, powerful computer projects' before and I've never felt inspired by any of them. But this project really captures the imagination with the potential of modularity / expanding capabilities.

This is honestly so creative. It makes me filled with that childish sense of wonder I initially had with coding. What things could you make if you had a whole box of snap-ins and a few Pockits? This is frigging insane. If you're an angel investor consider throwing this guy a bone!

> which from what I've read of good aerodynamic designs is responsible for as much drag as the body of the car.

This seems way too high to me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient says side mirrors contribute 2-7% drag.

Still worth removing them of course, I'm just correcting you to prevent people from picking up wrong numbers.
The only way it’s impossible in principle is if human intelligence (and a lot of non human animal intelligence) is due to some potent non-physical substance of thought which can never be made by any work of artifice on the physical plane, AKA a soul.

Absent souls, human drivers are existence proof that minds made of matter can drive cars.

That doesn’t stop being true even if the current preferred architecture is all wrong, as we can and do change those with ease.
I have no doubt we could work some DNA magic between a narwhal and a horse...
You have a lot of good points there, and I do appreciate your greater kind of “life strategy” I guess. In particular, I just don’t think the idea of giving lots of money to a non-profit and expecting some kind of return on it in support (financially or otherwise) is likely to pay off. If the idea is just being a charitable person as part of your ethos, awesome. As an investment not so much. That said, your point about benefits and all your money going to healthcare anyway certainly gives me pause.
There are only two options left now:

Statistical equivalence is one thing, but the risk will shift within the population. Let’s set the bar a bit higher than above average? The average driver is a dumbass. autonomous vehicles should be expected to consistently make better decisions than the best drivers, not just the average ones.

In vivo partial reprogramming alters molecular changes during aging in mice
I can't install Barrier on my work laptop for policy reasons, but I don't want to buy a KVM, so a project I've been interested in building when I have time is porting enough of the Barrier/Synergy protocol to the Particle Photon [1] or BeagleBone Black [2] I've had lying around for a while, and then configuring it to emulate a keyboard and mouse via its USB gadget driver, allowing it to control my work laptop over USB.

On the Photon at least, emulating a keyboard and mouse is incredibly easy and is baked into the firmware, but implementing the Barrier protocol so that it can appear as a client on the network and pass on the keyboard/mouse input seems like it's going to take some effort.

I worked at a small company, got whatever title I wanted (short of CTO), and it didn't matter one lick when I got hired away. People know about title inflation at small companies and even if you're a "VP of engineering" at a four-person startup (like in the article) you're still gonna get evaluated as if your role were IC.

Just look at all the "vice president" positions at investment banks.
> have them remotely control relays so I could remap everything

No need for relays – you can replace the bulbs with smart lightbulbs that can be controlled via Zigbee. Ikea smart bulbs are high quality and good value.
I have several methods available, and I have them ranked by safest method.

I always use ramps whenever possible. Do not exceed the load rating of the ramps. They WILL collapse. I will go to decent lengths to use ramps, including removing the bumper cover if necessary on low cars. Ramps are my preferred method because they are less likely to tip over and the weight of the car is naturally supported by the suspension. Don't forget to chock the wheels and apply the parking brake. In this configuration I will sometimes also place jack stands under the car without extending them all the way. This serves as a fallback in case the ramps collapse.

If I can't use the ramps due to vehicle weight or because I need to remove the suspension I will jack the car up with a floor jack. If that doesn't reach I use a bottle jack and some wooden blocks, which is better for taller cars and trucks. If lifting the front I always put the jack on one side of the front crossmember (engine cradle) right near the mounting bushings. This is the most solid universal place on all cars that is strong enough. Position the jack so it contacts the engine cradle in a place where the body or frame of the car is behind the lift point. If the jack is placed on hollow sheet metal; it will collapse. It needs to be placed on thick plate steel. If lifting a vehicle with a solid axle then you lift from the axle directly underneath one of the spring perches.

Once the car is off the ground I throw multiple jack stands under the car and raise them as high as they will go. Then I lower the jack so the car is completely supported by the jack stands. If lifting a vehicle with a solid axle you typically lift from the axle but place the jack stands under the frame or chassis. This way the vehicle is "unsprung" while you're working on it.

If I'm just changing a tire I'll use the included jack from the trunk and throw the spare tire next to it as a safety. That is strictly for tire changes, though. Quick on and off type deals. The screw type jack included with most vehicles is known as the "widowmaker" in the automotive community, for good reason. These typically fail when used on uneven terrain. What happens is the side load on the jack causes them to kink in the middle and collapse sideways.
I think if a website with a form on it that involves transferring any sum of money around should pay hundreds of dollars per year to certificate authorities.

Not every building needs to implement the security measures of Fort Knox. That doesn't mean that the security measures in-place at Fort Knox shouldn't exist.

> A "no" response for the first question could save everyone from wasting their time with the second.

That “no” is never going to happen though. Every individual might know that they aren’t a Java expert, but they don’t know that every other individual is also not an expert. So there is nobody in a position to answer “no”.
Could you clarify "they"? Do you mean all russians? Including the ones in jail right now for protesting the war?

I'll grant you elections, but changing rules for century-defining events like the pandemic or the Ukraine war seems very normal to me.

I disagree with your concept of consent. You clearly accepted Apple's ToS when you configured your phone. I'm sure buried somewhere in there is a line about this. You also consented by simply buying their product. When it comes to Apple or Google's ecosystem you aren't ordering off the menu, you're eating at the buffet.

The solution seems very clear and simple to me. If you want finer grain control of your device, don't buy an Apple or Android device. There are plenty of alternatives.
Regulators are responsible for maintaining sets of rules that are just as comprehensive as they need to be and no more. Part of the job description is updating or removing old rules, just like part of it is creating new ones.
I think we can count ourselves lucky this wasn't a nuclear armed missile.

How do you accidentally fire a missile into another country? When North Korea does these things, they are on purpose.

In any event, to use a morose term, I hope their postmortem results in making sure it's not possible to fire into another country accidentally.
Ok, let's take those russian it-people which have migrated in recent two weeks to the nearby countries (which just happen to be in this list made by facebook/meta). Yep, now they are in these very countries. And yep in these countries Meta has allowed hate-posting. Wouldn't it result in some discomfort, unease, prejudice?

Quick-note: indeed to the best of my knowledge all people involved in outsourcing are migrating to the countries where hate-posting has been allowed

Of course, everyone can draw a line, no doubt there, no troubles, no xenophobia expected...

This is only one use case for never. The article goes into a lot more than this. For example using never to create derived types is pretty common.
No, your assumption that “some other race” means you “don’t qualify for bi-racial” is wrong. “Some other race” means you don’t identify with any of the racial categories on the Census, and in practice that means you’re Hispanic/Latino or Middle Eastern - those groups are officially grouped into white, but respondents often don’t identify that way. If your grandparents were biracial you’d be biracial.
I think taxes are the biggest hurdle for microtransactions. You are legally required to report taxes in _every_ country where you have customers. This means that the customer will need to fill in address information for each website they want to use which is also a high barrier. And if you run an online business it won't take long before you have to report taxes in 200 countries. It's a job on its own to administrate that!

With advertisements you receive payments from a single party, and because it's a business-to-business transaction it's tax free.
For years, "Star Wars" was one of the "big movies" that wasn't available on home video. The documentary "The Making of Star Wars," on the other hand, was released on VHS (and Betamax?) very early on, and I recall as being prominently displayed in seemingly every video rental store.

Ironically, "The Making of Star Wars" doesn't currently appear to be available for streaming on any of the services, at least according to JustWatch.com.
They used to try. Surely you can conceptualize a spectrum whereby on one the one side, people try very hard to be objective and be good at it, then where maybe they try a little less hard, or lack knowledge, or whatnot, and then continuing on the spectrum, where people throw up their hands and proclaim that no one can be objective, so who cares anyway.

I cannot accept the framing as only the last one: that we've magically discovered being unbiased is no longer a worthwhile goal, so throw up our hands and take a stand on every controversial topic, pick a side every time. No.
Or, hear me out, move closer so that one dies instantaneously rather than slowly due to radiation or starvation.
This is widely attributed to Sidney Morgenbesser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Morgenbesser).
I don't get why people think this is theoretical. We have autonomous vehicles driving on the road _today_. They've logged millions of miles. The question is one of fidelity. Can they drive "safe enough?" Can they drive in a blizzard? These are important questions and are needed to answer a question like, are autonomous vehicles "sufficiently advanced" enough to fully replace human drivers in most scenarios? But even if they never advanced beyond what we have today, they still would have use cases that demand clear regulation.

Unwillingness to differentiate between different types of violence (like attacking vs. defending) under any circumstance is exactly "saying that".

IF the car does hit the children even while driving autonomously the driver will be held responsible regardless of overrides. If someone dies, someone is going to jail until the justice system works through it.
I don't think committing against a NATO membership of Ukraine would affect the current conflict. Ukraine was not close to joining NATO before Russia attacked, and NATO was already clear that it cannot join as long as Crimea is disputed. I think if Ukraine can survive this war, it needs to join NATO as soon as possible afterwards, even if that means surrendering Crimea, Donbas, and whatever else Russia may claim.

Russia is the best recruiter NATO could wish for. NATO want Finland and Sweden to join and public opinion was strongly against until the war. I'm a Swedish citizen myself and have gone from "absolutely not" to "it sucks but maybe we have to" on the question of NATO membership. It's the lesser of three evils. The two more evil options being becoming Russian territory (or at least a vassal), and making our own nuclear weapons. Maybe in the future, the EU may be an alternative to NATO, or Russia may become a better neighbor. But today, in 2022, I don't see any better alternative. That said, NATO's war crimes should also be condemned and Sweden should definitely not participate in any military interventions outside of what Article 5 requires.
I think that the autonomous vehicles on the road today are the equivalent of duct taping a traffic cone to a horse’s forehead and saying, “See, I told you unicorns aren’t theoretical.”
