Curly brackets or brackets at all aren't mentioned by name in the article - is that your interpretation of the first code example?

IMO, that example is there to show that there's less required boilerplate required in python compared to java when doing the same thing. And, in particular, none of that boilerplate really matters to what you want to do - print hello world - emphasizing the point of python being simple.

I had to deal with fallout from this. At the time I worked at eBay, and were not allowed to use any OS except Windows or RedHat Linux. The reason we had to use RedHat? Because we had a paid license from them that included them absorbing all liability from IP claims regarding Linux.

But if anyone was around then, you'd probably remember that RedHat was one of the worse distros of linux at the time. So we were forced to use an inferior product because it came with IP indemnity. Thanks SCO!
>> making combustion engines which aren't reliable in the long term.

Who? Which engines are not reliable over 5/7/10+ years? Fiat? Some custom thing built in a German garage? All the big manufacturers are churning out amazingly reliable IC engines. Almost anything from Honda/Toyota/BMW/Merc will last decades. Maybe some sensor needs replacing or an electrical circuit has an issue, but with normal maintenance modern IC engines go forever, far longer than most new car buyer ever keeps the vehicle. The air conditioning, cruise control, radio, suspension, transmission and seat cushions will all be dead long before the engine gives up the ghost.

What breaks are things like sensors and control systems, little inexpensive parts that are generally worthless compared to the effort needed to diagnose and replace them. And that isn't going away with EVs. They have basically the same number of drivetrain sensors and systems as any IC car. Taking the car into the mechanic because of an engine light will still be a thing.
I am asserting people have a set idea of what the word "autopilot" means, and it doesn't mean "unable to pilot on its own without me being fully attentive to it at all times". And I am also asserting that this name was chosen specifically for this implication.

DUI checkpoints are set up to only catch the stupidest of criminals. At least in my neck of the woods, they publish the locations of the checkpoints in advance, and are always on arterial roads, but never state highways or interstates. It's entirely possible to avoid the checkpoints altogether. If you're stupid enough to get wrapped up in one of those, you probably shouldn't be drinking or driving.
Sure I can. Just because I don't like GM doesn't mean I don't like other manufacturers. You're making a big assumption.

Some people don't like Ford cars because they are fixed or repaired daily.

Some people don't like GM for whatever generic meme saying.

Some people don't like Toyota/Honda/et al because they're not American made (to whatever truth there is/isn't to that).

Some people just have preferences. Those preferences do not equate to the meaning you are trying to infer.

> Also making a queue bigger is a bad reflexive response to queues being full.

Depends on the function of the queue. If it's a dead-letter queue, there's literally no downside besides a likely-trivial amount of cost. If the problem is upstream of the queue, and the queue is actively feeding well-functioning consumers, yeah, it could make things way worse. This is where being an experienced engineer comes in. Also having 2-person approval like you would for any code changes. Point still stands that you should take low-risk actions to mitigate if they're available to you before root-causing.

Would be nice, but I think since (a-e) weren't in that line and that (g) is directly addressing that, that would be incredibly bad wording.

Regardless, I can imagine there are some products with 'essential functions' which require the channel that could be DDOSd, no?

My stance here is that it's very broad, and I think it's easy to create an exploitable system from these directives. But unfortunately the problem is real and the mitigations complex. I was buying into this initially because of that, it seems reasonable without much thought on what the exact solutions look like, which I think makes it more dangerous.

If other engineering fields have seen this process, and the involved regulatory bodies have stayed independent of large corporate interests, I guess we should have a good shot. But with my lack of knowledge on that topic, I hold some trepidation for the future of smaller software shops and individual developers.

Even with all the people who drive dangerously, driving is remarkably safe given how many miles we drive. As you say, take away the outliers and it's very safe.

If public confidence is shattered it has very little to do with the quality of Teslas software and everything to do with the currently fashionable narrative in media.
It's always hard to make these determinations. Sure on paper Nordstrom loses money and Nordstrom Rack makes money, but if you take the line item for the advertising budget of Nordstrom and put it under Nordstrom Rack, the situation will be reversed.
Crossing the border is a bit of a PITA. A few years ago I took my kids to play in a youth hockey tournament that was split between the US and Canada. Our hotel was on the Canadian side. Crossing back and forth was a nuisance and even though beer was cheaper on the US side it was technically illegal to bring very much back across the border. I assume the same is true for other shopping.
Interesting side effect of this (to me :-)) is that when Blekko was acquired by IBM I got stuck doing what is called "Blue Washing" where IBM tracks down the licenses, origins, and usages of all the source code the acquired company is bringing to IBM. According to people I worked with when doing this, the entire process and toolset was an outgrowth of the work they did to disprove SCO's claims in the lawsuit.

I found it was both invasive and thorough, and generally engineers didn't like it when the answer was "You have to delete that, we can't verify we have rights to it."

I won a contest in high school like that. Everyone in class was given a number of random things with instructions to build a paper airplane that flew as far as possible. We didn't have to use everything, but we could only use the components provided.

From memory, there was a small block of sticky tack, a roll of transparent tape, four or five pieces of paper, and a couple of paper clips.

Everyone else made various traditional paper airplanes; a few people used the paper clips to good effect to adjust the center of gravity to get a longer glide slope. I just wadded everything up into a piece of paper, wrapped the other pieces paper around it, and wrapped the whole thing in transparent tape (which I had already removed from the core, because the core was inside the ball).

I just threw it as hard as I could, and it ended up going more than twice as far as anyone's paper airplanes. It probably helped that we were competing outside and throwing into a gentle breeze.

Yeah. If American (or other) retailers just think of Canada as "Cold USA" they're going to have a bad time.

There are several impedance mismatches compared to doing business in America. Even several stores are positioned a bit differently from the US which make competitors not really fit in. Example: does Home Depot compete with Canadian Tire?

Walmart fits neatly because Canada has a niche for it and similar competitors like Loblaws.

Physical presence is not a requirement for commerce clause nexus (though it definitely satisfies it.) I’m not sure it ever was viewed as a requirement outside of sales taxes, and the precedent establishing it as a requirement for sales taxes was overturned by the Supreme Court in South Dakota v.

The “fun law” is the Constitution's Commerce Clause, and that’s not actually how it works.
Canadian here - Nordstrom offered outrageously priced goods. The luxury market here is small. Even when it's within reach for someone they aren't likely to chooes the luxury version over a more accessible version.

Fancy things aren't really viewed the same here. In many places having a really nice car doesn't make you "the man". It makes you come across as "flashy". Kinda like "what are they trying to prove?". Even if the person just likes the car, others make it out to be a thing.

tl;dr - they didn't stand a chance because they didn't understand the market.

I've talked with a lot of people about this. The general opinion is that it was a combination of lingering concerns from the AT&T lawsuit and, perhaps more controversially, a somewhat difficult to engage with community.

There's an old joke that something like 75% of drivers think 75% of everyone else is a bad driver. This is just a demonstration of perception. It only takes one bad driver per lane to really screw up traffic. The correct answer is that the vast majority of drivers are quite competent, but you don't notice them.

I don't disagree, but to play devil's advocate, maybe the Trump campaign could have used a slogan that wasn't used by the KKK or Nazi sympathizers? If they REALLY believed in the idea behind the slogan, and not the historical connotations of that exact set of two words, they could have done better. But, they didn't.

To put a finer point on it, what if they had chosen "America over everything"? Would you still be criticizing those who detect certain...implications in the phrase?

>Of course, bot x86 and Arm started like that as well - but after 20+ years of evolution, they have to drag along a lot of history. (and one never really takes things away from an ISA, you only add new features, and at best deprecate old ones).

Feature-wise, RISC-V is already about on par and has managed not to become a mess.

Furthermore, unlike x86, ARM has broken binary compatibility several times in the past, and yet failed to use the chance to do anything else than minor adjustments.

RISC-V is in a really good position.

I strongly believe there's a balance to be struck between getting started quickly and understanding how your code is run. Especially if it's an interpreted language like Python.

> very close to passing the Turing Test but fundamentally don't register to people as "People."

I'm only today learning about intentionality, but the premise here seems to be that our current AI systems see a cat with their camera eyeballs and don't have the human-level experience of mentally opening a wikipedia article in our brain titled "Cat" that includes a split-second consideration of all our memories, thoughts, and reactions to the concept of a cat.

Even if our current AI models don't do this on a human level, I think we see it at some level in some AIs just because of the nature of a neural net. Maybe a neural net would have to be forced/rewarded to do this at a human level if it didn't happen naturally through training, but I think it's plenty possible and even likely that this would happen in our lifetimes.

Anyway, this also leads to the question of whether it matters for an intelligence to be intentional (think of things as a concept) if it can accomplish what it/we want without it.
