They and their parties have realised that you can get away with more and more. If you can rile up one extreme to offset losing the centre, that's a win for them as they hold power for longer. The candidates are largely dispensable and compensated in one way or another for taking risks.

I'd guess that the more critical an issue feels to your adherents, the more you can get away with.
As a Trekkie you should be asking for sample size.

Odd that you’re not, and instead focusing on absolute numbers with millions of vehicles on the road
Okay, I'm confused by this reporting. As far as I can tell the article posted got its information from a Daily Mail article which in turn doesn't cite a source. The related AP bulletin only says:

> The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed Friday that it sent a Special Crash Investigations team to probe the Wednesday crash into the back of a semi-trailer at a rest area near Gainesville.

The reason I find the article confusing is because, as mentioned in the article, the NHTSA already has an open investigation, moving towards a recall, into Tesla crashes related to autopilot.

That investigation cited 37 cases where it appears the cars malfunctioned, both not prompting the driver and not taking preventative action like braking until it was too late to avoid the crash, and in some cases not at all.

If you weren't following that story, a quick summary:

- The government received 11 reports of Teslas striking first responders with autopilot engaged.

- This prompted them to investigate all reports they had received about Tesla crashes involving autopilot, regardless of if a first responder was involved or not.

- From the hundreds of crashes where this has happened, they went through and eliminated cases where something other than the technology played a role. This included things like the driver using the system in environments where it's not supported or the driver not reacting to vehicle prompts or the other driver being partially at fault or inclement weather or just not having enough data to draw a definitive conclusion.

- After ruling out every case with these other factors in play they ended up with 37 cases that appeared to be vehicle malfunctions. Cases on the highway, with the system operating as intended, in clear weather conditions, with an apparently attentive driver, with other traffic behaving normally, where the car still crashed, did not take action to prevent the crash, and did not prompt the driver until it was too late for them to take evasion action (in some cases never prompting them at all).

Original report here: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2022/INOA-EA22002-3184.PDF

It doesn't seem like this case in Florida has been added to that investigation yet.

So what is this 37 number that they're reporting?

Did they mean to say, "this could be similar to the other 37 cases" or by total coincidence is it referencing some other group of 37 crashes that the NHTSA is investigating?

I'm confused but suspecting that the posted news article is just wrong.

Somewhere (presumably the Daily Mail) a journalist searched to see how many times a crash like this has happened and the search for something like "NHTSA investigates tesla crash how many times" returned the ongoing investigation with 37 confirmed cases.

Because to be clear: the NHTSA has investigated almost 400 Tesla autopilot crashes similar to this one and this one (as far as I can tell) has not been added to the engineering analysis they have open that has 37 other cases included in it.

Of course if there's something I'm missing here I'd love for someone to clear it up.

> At 37 investigations, shouldn't we have these things pulled off the roads?

Surely that would depend on the outcome of those investigations.

If not we could just launch an investigation into every vehicle crash (~100 fatalities per day in the USA) and get all vehicles pulled off the road!

Yeah, Costco has OK selection and OK/good prices. The downside for groceries is the bulk sizing can be much more than you want to buy.

Their return policy is also very good. Obviously do not abuse this (or you are being a jerk). This means you can buy things without hesitation since you can easily return it should you run into an issue later.

What you care about is how much more likely a person with parents who had degrees is to have a degree over one who doesn't.

In 1970 4% of people had degrees and 20% of degree holders had parents with degrees. That means that children of degree holders got 5 times as many degrees as children of non-degree holders.

In 2020 14% of people have degrees and 66% of degree holders have parents with degrees. That means that children of degree holders got 4.7 times as many degrees as children of non-degree holders.

Which is the opposite of what the article assumes.
this has been built before. the problem is that it also needs attention for ranking
> the western medicine solutions are useless.

We have done science here, made hypothesis and tested them. "Western medicine", including therapy and anti-depressants, have been shown to have real, significant, reproducible positive impacts.

It's also difficult to compare to "eastern techniques" since that's a fairly vague term. Perhaps drinking tea, meditating, and getting acupuncture has a more positive impact on one person than taking an anti-depressant, but for another person, anti-depressants may be wildly more effective. Perhaps arranging ones house and diet to maximize "positive chi energy" will help one person, but have no impact on another.

What eastern techniques are you specifically claiming are practical and useful, and for what scenarios? Are the studies that show anti-depressants to have effect wrong, or are they useless because they're inferior in your opinion?
> At 37 investigations, shouldn't we have these things pulled off the roads?

Just for comparison sake, it would be interesting to know how many safety investigation other makes have had in a similar timeframe (I don't know where to find such numbers). It's hard to know if 37 is a lot, or standard
I decided to employ this tactic when I was setting up my new NAS and needed two drives.

Upside was that I could definitely know they weren't from the same batch.

Downside was that I had to buy a Seagate, and I don't have good experiences with Seagate since my only Seagate drive had died an early death at the tender age of 3. Turns out that this was very much a downside since the Seagate drive died at the tender age of 16 months.

Another way to look at this is, the Taxi industry failed to modernise and take advantage of available technology.

They are not the only industry to have this done to them, takeaway/fastfood outlets are another blindingly obvious example.

No, even then it is the same concept. The big global bottled company thought that the intrinsic value of the water is more than 50c or maybe more than 50$ . Now you have bunch of people carrying their water bottles around, giving them even more advertising. People think that water bottle company is what I should get based on those carrying it around. So infact, they are giving away water bottle for free, which compared to competitors might be 50c or 50$. but they think it is worth losing that for ad
I would also question whether investments that are unlikely (or less likely) to make a direct return are always "bad".

The key points are that investment is an iterated game, deals are not necessarily independent and "networks" of people exist.

Consider a successful serial entrepreneur; you might fund something you consider "not so great" right now because you value the relationship and want access to future deals with that person or their network. Or their uncle, whatever.

Some sub-optimal deals might lead to more investments or opportunities due to "goodwill" and be net positives when the broader picture is taken into account.

From this perspective it is not guaranteed that making "locally optimal" decisions at every turn would actually improve overall returns.
Because it's Tesla and new, scary tech, this gets a lot of media attention.

What I would be interested is a 'deaths by million person kilometers' grouped by manufacturer. I'd wager less automation means more deaths.
Luckily this kind of unsubstantiated trash comment is rare on this forum. This is really not the place to vent your crazy political theories.

Uhuh. Who cares. This is my subjective opinion only. Yet more invention of stuff that was never said.
I'm all about criticizing the us for the drone striking it's doing (and how our media underreported it -- try getting stats of how many strikes Obama delivered, you can only get straight answers about individual regions, not a totalled number).

I think the reason the US gets a pass in the international political zeitgeist is that it's motives serve a greater peace. In the past imperial powers have largely used their militaries to enrich their own mercantilist motives; the us has been the opposite, it has used trade and greed to bolster a security stance that has been positive for a lot of people (if you look at trade figures the beneficiaries of us-led trade globalization has mostly been other countries, ironically, mostly china, < 10% of us GDP is foreign trade).

Not to diminish the suffering of Latin American nations under us meddling, the pax Americana has directly brought peace to Europe which has basically been infighting since the beginning of time -- that's 450 million people that are not at each other's throats. Is that worth a Pinochet or two (Allende was no saint either), and bombing a few thousand innocent pashtuns, destabilizing iraq? I can't say, but at least I understand why people give the US a pass.
Because someone is willing to pay them one. Value is between buyer and seller. It's not for an onlooker to say which value is "real" and which is not.

> Are any consumer drives affected by the same issue?

As far as I know it doesn't affect consumer drives, but I wouldn't be surprised if some have the same defective firmware.
NGT posts some pretty cringe science takes too, though. The kind of stuff you would expect someone in his position to put even the slightest bit of research before speaking.
Speaking as a non-american non-asian I think this is very relevant. Southwest china speaks a separate language, and has a military history. I think kumintag (later forced to move to taiwan) and ccp had battles there, probably significant ones but can’t recall details. Ccp had to keep handling unrest until few years after the civil war. So the article saying chili-red revolution is odd to say the least. There’s more, that it relates pepper and peasants. the article also starts off by mcdonalds and kfc, which are not the most high-end food, and also not chinese businesses. As for military history, some of southwest china is mountainous, mongols had a hard time capturing it too. Mongke khan died there, and according to wikipedia, some fortresses kept fighting for a few years after southern song falls. Is the article relating those who fight for southern song to be just McDonalds superfans?!! If that’s a thing! Of course not… but my guess it is saying something, maybe this is an anti mcdonalds ad?! I can’t tell, or care really. I’d rather read from a proper source about peppers than what is almost surely micro propaganda, Even good quality ones.
The autopilot may deactivate itself in such a situation, it tends to not like uncertainty, but as far as I know everyone will still consider that a crash under autopilot.
Not seeing anything about live access in there. Maybe you're referring to this?

> The written regulations that give the Ministry of Public Security the right to just “take it” are the Regulation on Internet Security Supervision and Inspection by Public Security Organs (公安机关互联网安全监督检查规定).

But the law in question http://www.gov.cn/gongbao/content/2018/content_5343745.htm doesn't actually grant public security organs the right to just "take it" as the blog post claims. Having the authority to request on-site network security audits or do penetration tests would certainly give spies ample opportunity to find ways to exfiltrate data, but that doesn't mean they're legally allowed to do so.

I guess not many people care whether Chinese intelligence agencies spy on TikTok users legally or extralegally, but I just wanted to know whether there really was such a law. Apparently not.
I will never criticize something which sparks an interest in science in someone else.

But show them the original Sagan version. The CGI may be dated, but the material is far more thought provoking.
Nah. H1B sponsor mills are a well documented issue that the US government has been trying to handle for a while now. These organizations go as far as filing multiple applications so they can more easily push one through. [1] It's nothing to do with "skill level" but everything to do with employers pushing down wages and wanting employees that are easily churned when necessary and kept obedient with the threat of their contract and thus visa and livelihood being cut at any time.

The "Americans just aren't good enough!" excuse hasn't been bought by anybody for years now. It's boring and desperate sounding.

There's nothing wrong with hiring workers from other countries. The H1B system just promotes abuse.

> That would clearly work for someone who is cheating by letting an engine do all the work, but how about someone who mostly plays the game themselves just using the engine rarely?

Thats exactly what those engines try to detect. If you are average player, but every time you start loosing you get significantly better, then there is great possibility that you are cheating. Thats whats looking through history gives you. It's about actually finding deviations from your usual behaviour.

A rating system without contextual data will very quickly become extreme (1 star reviews or 5 star reviews).

Having the system to have contextual data (photos, comments) from both the sides – reviewed and reviewed – will be enough tools to let any independent person make a sound decision.
You can never be good in any meaningful job if you don't try to expand and deepen your knowledge about the problems you are solving. Everything from gardener to a software architect requires studying and understanding. So, you can even devote yourself to observing the world around you or you can spend your time moving crades from one shelf to another and be content with what you have.

In regard to people entering the field, what you have is formal education and knowledge about the industry, while they have the desire to be paid money, but with unrealistic expectations about their abilities. They don't know what they don't know. So, what you have is quality if you are willing to develop it further.

Finally, the job cuts will be hard for the least productive. And they will be temporary because software is increasing productivity of people and processes by definition. In 2-3 years time the bad companies will be removed from the market and there will be space for new growth. So, use this time, don't wait.

It seems to me that you have severe case of lacking self-confidence. Procrastination is usually the lack of belief that we can accomplish the final task. However, the fact that there is always something else to learn does not mean that you can't learn quite a lot which you can use to build a good life for yourself.
I can confirm that this is true.

This kind of point comes up a lot in these discussions. I'd suggest a slight alternative:

"Death per million person kilometers, broken down by car age and road type."

The expectation of death in modern cars during highway driving should be very low. Given that tools like Autopilot are only installed on new cars and only enabled in highway driving risks spurious comparisons if all miles of driving are treated equally...
Maybe they'll end up being more understanding and kind to autistic people who have troubles with reading faces or maintaining eye contact regardless of being raised up with masks or not. That would be nice.
The complication with that is that software makes different mistakes than drivers do. And sometimes, software refuses to drive, in which case, their accident rates are subject to selection bias. For cars which can be operated by software or a driver, you’d want to compare for an exact equivalent scenario.
Then maybe Mozilla should move to Europe where they can pay 5x engineers with that money :)
There was once a thread here on hacker news about missing features of operating systems, as such a thing could only be achieved on OS level... can't find it anymore, unfortunately. It was mentioned that passwords etc. could be a nightmare.

The reason I'm focusing on the fidget spinner guy and you because those are a grandparent of the posts we're currently writing and replying to. If I wanted to reply to the other posts I would do so below those posts. I merely upvoted PhilippGille because he provided a good answer and continued with my day.

We're in a chain of comments. I suggest clicking on "parent" until you get to the post I'm talking about and you'll understand better.

Just because someone else was civilised once in an unrelated thread (and, as far as I know, PhilippGille is not affiliated to you) doesn't make YOUR behaviour right. Start owning up your mistakes.

The explanation from Phillipp is satisfactory but isn't part of this thread, and doesn't excuse the lack of civility and personal attacks from you. Nor does it erase the fact that what you're asking for (a discussion starting with what can be improved in Go) was provided from the get-go.

Seriously: the only real issue here is YOUR lack of civility. Not Golang, not the people criticising it. Own up your own mistakes. Maybe work on your issues too.

Rather than picking apart and dissecting my replies and other people's, maybe try addressing YOUR behaviour at least once. You're the one whose post was flagged. It's not justified by anyone else's post.

The comment isn't saying

"computers are complex unlike a pencil" it's mostly complaints about IT
"heavy processes such that even the people in IT who are trying to help are powerless, bogged down in ticket-pushing busywork, and tons and tons of policies that actually do nothing useful."

My defense was attemping to explain they are difficult compared to other office products ait's to be expected.

His comment seems to imply that there's failure in the IT process or the way it's run that cause the issues. In other words "we have a process for pencils that work , why not computers " as if process can be scaled linearly
