Actually the original comment makes complete sense. To only give tickets for drunk driving essentially makes it so that drivers have blanket immunity from any criminal liability for their behavior, no matter how reckless, so long as they are not drunk on alcohol. By rarely holding reckless drivers responsible for their behavior, we are essentially incentivizing that behavior.

From the car's perspective, the current law is great. Many people who would consider alternative transportation such as cycling or walking are discouraged by the fact that these activities are much more dangerous for you than driving. If you get hit by a reckless SUV at 40mph while you are in a car, you have a pretty good chance of surviving. Your chances of surviving as a pedestrian or cyclist are drastically lower. Rationally, many people then opt for the car (for me, must American roads are too dangerous for cycling so I only walk to get around even though I do enjoy cycling). This is a vicious cycle that ensures that cars will perpetually dominate our streets. I fear self driving cars (or an infinite series of failed attempts at self driving cars) are only going to make this worse. For all of the benefits that cars do offer us in our daily lives, from my perspective, it seems clear that the scales have tipped way too far in favor of the car.

Different legal regimes are possible. For example, we could change the law so that by default drivers are assumed responsible for any collision they were a part of. In the case of a driver killing a pedestrian, the burden should fall on the driver to prove that it was the pedestrians fault. The current enforcement of the law seems to almost imply that pedestrians and cyclists are suicidal so if they die in a collision, it must have been their fault somehow. Surely we could require drivers to drive in such a way that they have very low probability of injuring anyone? Or would that be an unimaginable infringement on the rights of the driver (and car)?

The beauty of a system that actually holds drivers accountable for the consequences of their actions is that we actually wouldn't have much need to enforce laws like speeding and running red lights because few would want to take the risk of losing their license if they were involved in a crash.

Do you have any sources for your claim? I realize this does happen, but I've always been interested in high profile examples of this (with proof).
First of, just like the term "hacker" became popularized by the media and turned into the meaning of someone who cracks computers and software, so has HTTP based APIs been popularized and turned into REST applications, but this is wrong. A HTTP based API cannot, by its very nature, ever be REST.

Now that's out of the way, yes. We use Go for both API and web development, actually full stack WITHOUT any JavaScript. We have written a custom error handler that deals with runtime HTML template errors, if any, which improves the otherwise tedious work when a template makes the web service crash.

Go is superb at HTTP and all web related. We still have some PHP development, but would very much like to do Go all the way, we just haven't gotten there yet.

Last, but not least, we do not use any frameworks or libraries, only the Go standard library and we love it. No matter were we put it, it just always works and is very performant.

Yeah, our fridge has a top loading freezer. I think that stuff spoiled once during a particularly long outage. We do also have an upright freezer. We purchased that after getting the generator, so the advantage of it keeping stuff frozen longer was less important to us than the convenience of easier access. (And we were okay to sacrifice a bit on capacity too.)

We also have a hot tub and we're in New England. We were worried about a multi-day outage resulting in the tub freezing in the winter. A low probability event, but one that was conceivable.

Both the fridge and the hot tub problems can indeed be resolved with something less than our 16kW generac. The hot tub really just needs a small space heater to be put inside the cabinet to prevent the pipes from freezing. And as you say, fridges don't use much power. So powering those two things (and our upright freezer) would need a pretty small power source.

So absolutely, we overdid it a little. But it's super nice having it kick on when we get an outage. Otherwise I'll be playing the, "is it really worth going out in the snow, lugging out a generator and getting it running if the outage is just an hour?" game. There's also the issue of maintenance, which I'm... not greatest at to be honest. (I have a 2 year old at home and time is just absolutely slipping by. It's hard enough to keep up with normal chores.) The standby generator does a weekly test, so we know whether it's actually working or not.

Yeah, definitely a bit of a luxury, but worth it for us. :-)

I can't speak to CarPlay but Android Auto has changed a ton in that time frame.

I worked for Equifax decades ago and the amount of scamming going on was impressive.

This is the reason I would pick for why Segway didn’t take off. I think it would have been popular if it had entered public consciousness in a more gradual way. Instead, the public was pumped up with enough hype that nothing was going to live up to expectations. Oh, and South Park’s take took a bit of prestige away too (hilariously so).

Yeah I'd like to see proof that's actually all there is, rather than all they were able to charge them with. It's not as if those involved in financial related crimes are always honest about finances, and it could be they only gave up the portions where they figured out the feds were going to find.
I disagree, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are great. The problem comes when the manufacturer’s interface collides with the Android / Apple interface. Just build a great touchscreen, let Android / Apple handle everything they can, and leave the rest (HVAC controls, volume controls) as physical buttons and switches. You get the best of both worlds - no need to pay an in house team of software engineers who will never be able to compete with Google or Apple anyway, and you please your customers who by and large want physical buttons and knobs.
Neat! Those simulations could be an interesting way to compare PRNGs.
> Reminds me a little of Star Trek TNG's The Game[1], where the crew becomes addicted to an automated AR/VR game that just sits there autoplaying, directly manipulating the brain's pleasure sensors.

Huh. That appears to be a mostly-accurate summary of Wikipedia's description of the episode, which heavily features the term "addicted". But it's an awful summary of the episode itself, which doesn't use the concept of addiction at all. (Also, the game doesn't autoplay; it is shown on screen requiring effort from the player.)

The game is a malevolent agent which intentionally makes very specific modifications to the players' minds. The relevant concept is infection, not addiction. The plot of the episode is essentially identical to that of the TNG episode Conspiracy[1], or the Buffy episode Bad Eggs[2].

And while not completely identical, the plot is also very similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers[3]. It's a very, very common theme. (As shown by the fact that TNG did it twice!)

I think one thing that this could help with is that, even if you are proficient in Lean, finding the way you are supposed to translate an informal statement into Lean/mathlib can be time-consuming if not a challenge -- it is a very large library, and it is mathematically heavy (being a library for theoretical mathematics). At the least, this gives you hints about which parts of mathlib you should be looking at.

> I submit that it doesn't take an expert to come to that conclusion.

Probably not, but if, in the middle of trying to diagnose my car, someone pointed to the muffler and said "I'm not sure what this thing's for." I probably would look for a second opinion on their diagnosis especially if it was "there is a major manufacturing defect in this model of automobile". It doesn't matter if the problem looked like it was staring us in the face.

Obviously I can't spot any major flaws with what the writer put together after a single read or I'd be pointing them out. I'm not calling it wrong. I'm just saying I'd want more verification from someone that has a better understanding of networking concepts to make it less likely that basic mistakes impacted the outcome.

Where’s “here”? What justifies claiming “most”? I’ve seen lots and lots of car delivery in the US. I’ve seen car delivery in China too. Also Iceland, Mexico and Spain. And I’ve seen scooters in all of those countries. I have no problem with people saying there’s a “lot” of scooters/motorcycles/bikes/whatever, relatively. It might be most, but “most” is a specific and strong claim that may not be true and can’t be backed up, and should be stated as such.

Yes, go is still my go to technology for API work. I usually go about it like this: write an OpenAPI spec, generate clients and servers, implement individual operations. I like how lightweight a go implementation is and how easy, no-bs it is to setup a new module. I like go for apis.
For anyone who has read the excellent Neil Stephenson book "Rise, or Dodge in Hell" (seriously, go read it!) you know he predicts an outcome of this: real time AI memes and art that generates per-user feeds that are maximally designed to be entertaining and addicting. Feeds that watching for a few hours can cause addictive behavior as the algorithm learns what content you like best.

In his novel, since the algorithm draws from the human, and the human is changed by the algorithm, it causes weird "dreams" where groups of people suddenly all get really violent for a while, then regress into stupor. Having sat on the midjourney discord and gotten almost hypnotized by watching the feed, I can definitely attest it already is very pleasurable, and that's watching _other_ people's streams that they have to type in prompts to generate. I can't imagine what it will be like when mixed with GPL-4 to generate political memes.

Mazda provides physical buttons for 90% of the controls you need on a daily basis but there's no realistic way to use apple carplay without looking at a screen. Were you expecting mazda to have a "Search for a song" dedicated button on the steering wheel?

In my view Mazda's modern interface is almost as safe as you can get while still having modern features that require a touchscreen. I only wish there was a button to physically turn the entire screen off when driving at night (you can do this but it's buried in a menu).

In my 2020 CX5, the screen is actually a touchscreen as well, but it only works at low speeds which may be safer but is not very convenient when a passenger wants to control it at speed.
Are there any professions in European countries that are paid as well as US tech workers, for similar levels of skill and/or education?

Moreover, if EU tech companies are not willing to pay the best software/hardware engineers what they're worth, where do they all go? Not everyone wants to live in the US or work remotely.
One could assume that the SEC (or any legal entity with investigative powers) will do their own due diligence and in this case, will do their own forensic accounting investigation into these two to corroborate their story.

I absolutely hate smartphones. A smartphone is like a laptop without a keyboard. I find them way too big to carry around and so annoying to use. I have an old-school dumb phone with a physical keypad.

No, I do not in any way feel isolated. Rather I see the people I know being almost addicted to their smartphones. Wasting so much time on social media that gives them absolutely nothing in real life. Once the entire family was gathered (a lot of people), there was a dead silence, everyone was sitting there like freaking zombies with their faces glued to their stupid phones, they could hardly focus on a simple conversation for more than 2 minutes before their faces where back in their phones.

I personally find no use for it.

The Mach E climate controls on the touchscreen are fine. With modern cars, mostly just set it to the temp you like and leave it. It isn't like old cars where constant fiddling with fan and temp to get everything correct is needed.
