> So far, it’s been nothing but pollution, speculation, theft, and crime.

One of the interesting things about crypto to me, is that the projects that don't involve pollution, speculation, theft and crime don't get noticed because of the lack of controversy or speculation.

People are like "but what if there wasn't artificial scarcity", well those projects exist, they just fail to coordinate humans to care. What you see is survivorship bias. There are many onchain-only versions of other onchain projects without any token at all! Annnnd thats exactly why nobody knows about them. (some are pretty active though, they just don't bubble up and out to a broader community)

Theft and crime? I mean if that's the headlines you see, (or even if its your actual experience), thats still not nearly everything.

Pollution? Proof of work still taking up all the headlines when only like 2 out of like a thousand blockchains are heavy on that, with one of those 2 trying as hard as it can to go off of that.

(I'm not opining about the "revolutionize" part, that one is so subjective that its not worth bothering.)
This investigation is on Autopilot, not the FSD Beta.

I actually do agree that part of the gun violence equation is mental health care. That doesn't mean socialized mental health care is the best solution to healthcare needs. Simply that having a society which does not value mental healthcare at all is suboptimal.

Could you provide a bit of detail? Like giving some examples of companies that pay their employees in bitcoin?

I'm somewhat sceptical as I know someone who works for a company in a role organising payment to employees in poorer and third-world countries. They've told me lots of interesting stories about navigating the bureaucracy, nepotism and avoiding extortion/corruption to ensure people were paid but never that bitcoin was involved.

Not really but when a EU directive is decided, the member states have x months to translate it into national law. It's still the law of the specific country that applies: but, simply, each country has to adopt the EU directive.

It's kinda more complicated than this as many european states are divided into regions, so for many matters it's not even the individual states transposing the EU directives into national laws but regions transposing the EU directive into regional laws.

One example would be the EU deciding, a few years ago, that the age for cars to be considered "old timers" is 30 years. Before that some regions had 20 years, others 25, others 30, etc. Then all the regions had to adapt their legislation. In a single country, like Belgium, the three regions all transposed the laws in varying ways (and at different times). But in the end the result is the same: all european regions have "harmonized" the notion that an oldtimer is a vehicule 30 years old or older.

Now there are several matters on which the EU has no authority whatsoever. For example the EU has no fiscal authority: fiscality is decided by the countries/regions and the EU can shut the fuck up. (so far).
GitLab took libgit vom GitHub, didn't they?
And given how bad Android is with its plurality or majority market share, how much worse would it be without iPhone competition? I wonder how few years Android devices would be supported if iPhones didn't set the bar so high.
It's the same problem with the "answer this PhD thesis problem in half an hour" type questions. We really don't register that sitting with an idea as it unfolds month after month/year, slowly evolving means you can't 'see' it the way anybody else will see it: with not only fresh eyes but with motives that largely revolve around getting through your software and out the other side as fast as they can, because while to you it's a full time job, for them it's an impediment to something else they want to get on with.

We are collectively That Guy, who keeps telling a story after everyone else has started telegraphing their boredom.

It's also why the people who have bagged on Apple for the last 20 years missed out on one of the largest sustained run-ups in stock price so far this century. Nobody cares about your software unless it's pissing them off. If it gets out of their way there's no problem. But you can't 'express yourself' with your software unless you get in the way, at which point people start noticing you and for the wrong reasons. Apple is consistently... less terrible at this than most other companies. "I don't understand. There's nothing special about this software." Yes, that's exactly the point.

This is something we missed when we started crowing about 'software eating the world'. We went from people who indulged us 30 years ago to mostly people who don't, because the 'world' we're eating is everybody who thought computers were kinda dumb.
I believe they were selling software packages that ran due to the modchips that were advertised to enable piracy.

Had they not shipped code-signing patches and advertised this as a way to private games, I'm curious if the defense would have been easier. What'd they get him on -- the DMCA?

The federal government choose to relax their enforcement policy in deference to changing national attitudes. But prior to they dealt with the mismatch on marijuana laws by... going into the states and enforcing on the business owners, basically forcing them into bankruptcy. The state may have legalized such businesses but they could not protect them from federal authority.
Doesn't Tesla have driver monitoring and a driver score? So to use autopilot, you not only have to roughly pay attention, but also be pretty good at driving in general to use the beta?

Or did they get rid of that? It sounded like a good compromise to me.
I almost launched a zerotier alternative for business SSO only. I'm very excited by this. Quick question.

Our use case is simple as are many businesses.

We have users that authenticate using Google lets say. We want to give them remote desktop access from their home. They ARE NOT techies.

Ideally we could give them an SSO login (it sounds like this will make that possible). And then authorize them to connect to nodes Y and Q. We don't need "networks" at this level, just user A authorized to connect to node Y or node group 5 etc.

if we have users and user groups and nodes and node groups you can then basically do whatever a business is used to doing (this breakout is common in many smaller businesses using Active Directory, Google etc).

This seems boring but the competition is pretty poor. Sonicwall and friends with VPN setups are time consuming and pretty complex to manage and deploy. Anydesk and friends have just horrible business practices (try cancelling).

Cloudflare is getting there sort of with WARP, but it's also awkward and they keep moving their product positioning around.

Note - we happen to use some mikrotik for fun as well as sonicwall supported by our third party MSP - we've started to see zerotier show up on mikrotik which has been fun.
The only between-nodes trust blockchain relieves you of is trust in the history of a multiparty transaction log.

A blockchain doesn't prevent individual parties from lying about things only they would know about -- if that's what's on your chain, you still need trust.

You cannot apply data without values. If I told you X people die every year from Y, it would be your values that suggest if we should do anything about it.

X could be lots or little, Y could be Covid or the death penalty. Data tells you nothing about the justice of a situation.
>Because before Tesla launched the feature, "Autopilot" was known in the general consciousness to mean a specific thing

Not that I agree with your statement, but the "general consciousness" would be wrong in that case.

Autopilot in most aircraft will gladly fly you into the side of a mountain or other aircraft.
It is complicated: $6B is supposedly related to nuclear waste from the weapons program which is likely hard to compare to power production sites for a huge number of reasons.

Technically there is a $40B fund paid for from taxes on nuclear production to deal with the long term storage problem by NIMBY has prevented that from going from a concept into a reality. As with many things "we need X but not here" makes getting things done hard.

So from a planning standpoint the long term problem is solved but in reality it isn't. How you boil that down into a cost I couldn't begin to solve.
> tab tiling is the best feature [...] How many times to you get confused which browser window is in focus on your desktop

If I'm just using my browser on a window then tab tiling is a great feature, I've used it quite a bit in Vivaldi, but the second I start using windows other than my browser it gets confusing because I have to remember two sets of bindings.

> shouldn't have to be forced to play the market or spend if I don't want to. Just let people save their damn money.

You are always playing the market, and certainly are doing so when you park your wealth in whatever your cryptocurrency of choice is.

Having currency being optimized for use a liquid medium of exchange while other assets are better as a long term store of wealth is much better than having a currency that tries to compromise between competing purposes and ends up doing neither well.
Europe gives Apple a smack in the chops on USB-C power standardization
I'm just riffing here but this doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem if you're willing to spend. Open up a training school, put the old guard in as instructors, get some good students, pay everyone big money. Build a lab reactor for hands-on practice, and pay to put students as glorified interns into under-construction and operating plants across the world. A few years later, you've got your people.

I don't mean to say it would be trivial but it seems like you could do the whole thing for a couple billion USD a year.

That's a good way for a candidate to help the interviewer. Often an overly general question sends the candidate to empty out their mental filing cabinets in hope of finding the magic word the interviewer is waiting for.

If a candidate does that, I feel I've screwed up as an interviewer. The best interviews I've conducted turn out to just be conversations where we're talking shop and we get to know each other a little.

There's so much coaching on the interviewee side of the equation, yet the only guidance or coaching I've seen given to interviewers is to shield the company from discrimination claims by turning in a consistent set of interview questions to HR.
GM's "Super Cruise" uses lidar map data, radar, cameras, and has an interior camera monitoring the driver to make sure they are paying attention.

Tesla's don't.
Hahahaha Tesla has sold zero Level 5 cars. They've sold a bunch of Level 2 automated cars, same as VW, GM, Volvo, Subaru, etc.

Those other manufacturers have more robust legal teams, so they advertise their cars capabilities a bit more honestly.
> The American constitution, of course, does not bind the EU in any way.

To me this is an interesting idea, considering there's a lot more Europeans (especially among the young urbans and very educated) moving to America than the opposite.

To me this shows a desire from Europeans to live by the US Constitution.
Reminder that she was planted there at the last minute by the EC with no agreement in parlament. The natural candidate should have been Frans Timmermans.

She won by margin of 383 votes to 327. 9 votes above minimum.

Anyone outside mainstream media can see she is more concerned about her self-preserving PR than achieving anything of substance, for a women touted as an example of female leadership she is but a shadow of a Merkel.

It is indeed free, and so those the competition out there, like Transmission and qBittorrent.

Sure they won't lose any money, but they'll lose their userbase and the potential interest of contributors if they don't make any progress. It's a vicious circle.
I'd say, "What is the biggest marketplace we can find to adapt our widget to" is probably the better way to go.

That's a totally different, much simpler question. A stolen DVD is very clearly a reduction in the number of DVDs the seller can possibly sell.
Sounds like this is just a memory issue which makes sense because it does only happen when I let too much memory pressure / swap build up. I only have 8GB, Apple should have never sold a Pro model with that little RAM.

Still, I feel like the failure mode for low memory is different on M1. This isn’t my first underpowered machine but it’s definitely the one that stutters the hardest.
The lawyers contemplating the suit have decided not to sue, but you can sue companies that plan to shut down.
> Spain does appear to have recognized law on their side - it was a Spanish flagged ship, and modern Spain is the recognized successor of historical imperial Spain.

Hold on!!!

First, this ship sank in the middle of the night - after fierce fighting with HMS Expedition. Were her colors still flying at the time of the explosion, or had she surrendered to the superior British fleet, as other Spanish ships already had?

Second, this took place at a time when the rightful monarch of Spain was in dispute. Two people claimed to be King. Who really was the rightful ruler, and was the ship sailing under his orders at the time?

It's not so clear cut after all...
>Our ancestors sure

So your lineage won some and lost some yes? What is the point of saying at one time your people benefited from conquest but this other time you didn't? So what?

Sounds like cope and sour grapes. He's a successful, wealthy, and accomplished man. That's a good thing. Why would anyone want to be on the losing side of the equation? Are you ok?

"Moving Castles" was the terminology I heard someone propose[0].

Unfortunately they got too caught up in the crypto nonsense but the idea was sound - good communities have to be guarded and they occasionally "lower the drawbridge" to bring on newcomers, potentially with semi-public spaces. This could be a minecraft server, a facebook group or what have you.

Since the group is motile, they aren't affected by platforms being subpar. They can avoid stagnation by bringing in newcomers, but have a way to vet incoming people too before allowing them "internal" access.

> There is always wind somewhere for example.

There is always wind somewhere. But grid capacity is not free, in fact it is quite expensive. Let's say, on a given day, the only place in Europe with reasonable winds would be west of Cadiz, transporting all that power through Spain, Portugal and France to cover the needs of all of Europe, would require immensive grid capacity expansion. And even with super-high-voltage, the losses before the power reaches Estonia would be huge.

Also, if this load causes a brownout in Spain, due to improper maintaince, for instance, all of Europe could go dark, cold and stop moving (in a time after fossil fuels).

(I can imagine seeing this from space during some cold winter night around 2045, all the lights in Western and Central Europe disappear at once. Only Norway and parts of Sweden can be seen, since they have their hydro power.)

In other words, while a better grid can mitigate _some_ of the variability of renewable supply, you still need massive expansion of storage capacity when you stop using natural gas, especially when you switch heating and transportation to use electricity too.

Seen from the outside, it surely looks like the German population has been seriously misled.
It's not an analogy. It's literally what is happening. This is apparent by your own admission that each pixel displayed is an average of the last eight frames of that pixel. That is the definition of a convolution filter. The display acts as a physical convolution filter, which is implementing a low-pass filter.
Nuclear waste is only a problem if you don’t allow breeder reactors. Otherwise it is a fuel resource and an asset, not a liability.
> going into a public chatroom and being asked to "show boobs and vagina" by some rando certainly qualifies as "being asked for a sexual favor.

~ 70 % of the reported harms occurred via a private device, meaning it was highly targeted, the reported events are mainly not things happening in a public setting.

For another happy stat you can for you to explain away, how about this: by age twelve, 6% of all girls have gotten sent sexually explicit content from someone they did not know.

Edit: Also, closing a business doesn't mean that you can no longer be held accountable for what happened while your business was opened. Statute of limitations and whatnot (IANAL) may differ from state-to-state, but allowing a business to be immune from prosecution simply because they closed would be one hell of a gaping legal loophole. It'd be like not prosecuting someone for theft or murder because they had stopped stealing or murdering lol.
Updating our understanding of Earth's architecture
It'll be a few years before we have definite data, but back in 2018 there was reason to think that the number of driver fatalities per million vehicle years was significantly worse in teslas than in comparable cars. https://medium.com/@MidwesternHedgi/teslas-driver-fatality-r...

Some luxury car models have incredibly low driver fatality rates regardless of cruise control activation. Just the fatal stories I've seen reported on hackernews take tesla out of the top bracket for safety.
Performance is indeed worse. We're moving the 20% of the app consuming 80% of the compute to Go.

The Thinking Ladder – Wait but Why
There is only one extension that ever really mattered: Firebug.

A lot of developers wound up using Firefox to develop web apps even when the web app was intended to be used in IE. That's important because it broke the vicious cycle where nobody used Firefox because nobody developed for Firefox and nobody developed for Firefox because nobody used it.

You might use other extensions, as do I, but this is such a deal-breaker that barely anything else matters. The browser that runs your dev tools will be able to run your app, obviously, so being the browser with the good dev tools is a tactic to make sure web pages will actually run in it.

The constant rhetoric around extensions is an irrelevant sideshow. It's the web pages that actually matter. Nobody would have bothered to use Firefox unless the majority of web pages they use work in it, and Firebug is the primary reason why so many web pages did work in it, along with Google strategically choosing to support Firefox as a way to hedge their bets against Microsoft making adversarial changes to IE to cut Google off.
Here are some quotes from the article for you. The concern is not that she cares about safety, but that she is very strongly biased against Tesla and has a financial interest in promoting other companies.

"The same goes for her stance regarding CEO Elon Musk. In March 2020, for example, Dr. Cummings seemingly joked about needing someone to stop her from punching Elon Musk in the face. "

"It should be noted that Dr. Cummings’ seat at Veoneer was not disclosed when she published a paper (which was later updated to remove inaccurate details about a fatal Tesla crash) criticizing systems such as Autopilot for their possible dangers. And so far, the incoming NHTSA senior safety adviser has not shared if she would be leaving her post at the Swedish LIDAR company, especially since she would soon be advising a US safety agency on driver-assist systems that adopt both LIDAR and non-LIDAR solutions. "

"Missy Cummings receives around $400,000 worth of stock in Swedish LIDAR company Veoneer per year as compensation for her role as a non-employee member of the board."
