> knowingly
> exploitable
> vulnerable

None of these are cut and dry. How vulnerable does someone have to be before you can exploit them? How harmful does the behavior have to be before it’s exploitation? What is “knowingly” in an organization? How should events be handled if it’s a single engineer operating in the shadows vs a board decision? etc etc etc

The answers to these question may seem obvious to you, and someone else nay have a completely different answer that seems equally obvious to them.

For an airline, with enough Twitter staffers to operate 24x7 including holidays, all trained to cope with disruption, reroute/rebook tickets, that figures really seems like it should be a drop in the ocean.

Of course, going back to (not) answering the phones is an easy choice for an airline VP of customer (dis)service.

Autonomous driving is a fickle thing.
Make it illegal to own a car that does not have a governor which limits it to 25 mph. There are ways around that. Then the only people speeding are those with illegally modified cars. Then you just have to suggest the only reason someone would want to drive faster than 25 is to specifically run over children.
They do care, there’s just no better available alternative.
I guess Apple needs a bit more than attention to have a good autocorrect model.
I loved my windows phones so much. lumia 900 and 920. I totally bought in to the microsoft ecosystem because I wanted to keep using that phone OS and those phones. but the ecosystem sucked ass. none of microsoft's google/apple equivalents were up to par. one night when xbox music said I didn't have license to play any of my music on a long car ride home was the last straw. I bought a galaxy note 3 that evening when I got home.

There was an article a couple of days ago on Windows CE going out of maintainence. I worked on building a touchscreen tablet that used it, I don't see why Windows Mobile should have been any less configurable than Windows CE.

It’s not that it currently sucks. Even if it was the cleanest, safest, most connected system it still sucks compared to a personal vehicle (ideally electric and fully powered by renewable energy). It also means people have to live in dense apartments instead of spread out suburbs and semi rural living.

I don’t mean privacy as in personal data, I mean not having to be in close quarters with other humans.

Vision zero when done correctly makes a big difference. However useful changes are often expensive so instead they do cheap things (like put up signs, and flyers) that don't really make a difference.

Rebuilding just a mile of a side street would cost $10 million. If it is a major road the cost goes up, and if you need to put in bridges the costs is very high. A useful change to a single intersection can costs more than a million dollars.

We have the ability to do more testing and training. However may drivers would hate the fact that they can't pass a license tests - enough to vote out anyone who tries to pass such things and get the law changed.

Long term running great public transit is the cheapest answer, but anything less than great won't move the needle, so your minimum costs are in the mulit-billion dollar range for tiny cities - cost goes up greatly from there.
Once a friend in grad school made fun of some todo note I had written down, announcing, "Note to self: Love parents." I don't remember what the note was. I do remember laughing. Later I decided she had a point. Not that I didn't love my parents, but that if I spent more time reflecting on my history and particularly my interpersonal relationships, behaviors that came with difficulty would come more naturally.
The city wanted both operators to have their permit pulled, DMV pulled only Cruise.
I'm not sure if the US is much better, or if we're just a lot quieter about the three letter agencies spying on our communications. In some ways the transparency is kind of refreshing. At least the EU has something to fight back against while we can only guess at the extent of the abuses that are happening right now.
They might like to but Congress doesn't seem like it'd get behind that push. Luckily for many initiatives like this CA is large enough requiring it for their market means it largely applies to the rest of the states by default.

Lacking 3rd party apps was more of a symptom than a root cause in my opinion.

Instead of being scrappy and trying to do whatever it took to gain marketshare in an area they were behind in they put a ton of limitations on their platform and it tanked adoption because the people who were willing to switch and try something new were by definition people who were going to be frustrated with this behavior.

Things like not supporting multitasking or apps running in the background, blocking all exes from even being downloaded, not giving access to the underlaying file system, categorically blocking applications like video game emulators, restricting the ability to tether your phone, etc.

Yes there wasn't third-party app support and yes their maps sucked but I think both of those would have been fixed over time if they didn't take a super arrogant big brother approach to the operating system.

The bloaty key/signature size is only a problem with the PQ encryption systems.

To add to your comment, the billions "incinerated" in Waymo (~$5bn) is about what New York City pays for a single subway station qua shopping mall.
It should. Waymo appears to tests case similar to this: https://ltad.com/about/waymo-closed-course-facility.html
Yeah. Which is why we should treat it as the smoke and mirrors it is. Just completely ignore their justification and avoid repeating those words on every news report.

These politicians couldn't give less of a fuck about children. Politics and children do not belong in the same body of text. Finding the words "child", "terror", "drug" and "money launder" in any political text is evidence of bad faith and a perfectly valid reason to completely dismiss whatever's being said. It's almost certain they're trying to manipulate people into giving up freedom for false security by appealing to the eternal bogeymen of society. Communists were that bogeyman once.

The United States is unlikely to have a national privacy law in the foreseeable future due to the extensive lobbying by companies that depend on violating the privacy of its citizens. For the same reasons we are unlikely to have true Net Neutrality, there is too much money opposed to it.

> I liked mine too. Sometimes I think I was the only one, but now I know there were at least three of us.

I'm pretty sure there were hundreds of us; but maybe only tens.

I don't think Microsoft understands how constantly churning the development framework impacts potential developers, because Windows is so big that developers will suffer through churn until they realize they should just stick to ancient methods that will continue to work. Windows Phone had no ancient methods, and important new OS features were tied to new frameworks anyway, but there wasn't enough users to encourage most developers to suffer through it. That they couldn't make Windows Mobile 10 work (well) on low end devices like the Lumia 520 is probably a mix of organizational and engineering failure, but either way, the push from Microsoft to build 'universal windows platform' apps that would only run on Windows Mobile 10 prompted developers to cut support for WP7 and WP8 in favor of WM10, even though WM10 never had more users than the earlier versions.

Also, mobile Edge was soooooo much worse than mobile IE, woof.

Exactly the opposite. The interaction being public keeps companies (a bit more) accountable and that can do wonders.

windows does have parental controls, but they of course can only extend to Edge. I'm sure you can control whether a non-admin can install Chrome/Firefox or really anything non-authorized if you need to.

And who compiles the list? why do we trust them to turn a switch on or off?

Also, I hope you can understand why I think "because parents are stupid/lazy" is the worst kind of reasoning you can give to enforce control over the entire internet. We solve laziness with awareness and stupidity with education. Why are we giving up on that?
Yeah they aren't talking to city infra now. My point was that it will become easier to make that happen once a larger % of the cars on the road are self driving.

One day I'd like to create a taxonomy of hacker news responses. This is a good example of the one where someone gets pedantic about the details of an analogy employed for rhetorical purposes, objects to those details, and in so doing completely misses the point.
Maybe that level of privacy isn't something that you worry about. That's perfectly fine. We all decide for ourselves what risks we consider acceptable.

But we should also support others being able to have privacy even for those things we aren't personally worried about. It's almost certain that there are other things they don't worry about, but that you do.

1. You really need to understand the application more than that. Does ls need network sockets? Sure does, if you have yp enabled. But this won't appear in your trace unless you trace in such an environment. (Although pledge on openbsd transparently handles this case for you.)

2. Just because a program makes a system call doesn't mean it should. Or should at that moment. A lot of late initialization can be done earlier for tighter policies. Auto traced policies tend to be extremely broad, permitting too much stuff.

I never understood Microsoft's desire to use "Windows" in their mobile device marketing. That might have barely made sense back when computing was dominated by geeks, but nobody in 2023 truly cares whether their phone runs a form of Windows, just as they wouldn't care if an iPhone runs iOS instead of macOS; they want a device that does the things they want. Windows today represents more of a necessary evil than something to be excited about. Microsoft should have dropped the Windows angle entirely and named their phone platform something else, even if it actually did use Windows under the hood.

Tangentially, I don't have an iPhone 15 but I am optimistic based on what I've read at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512

> About 80% Limit with iPhone 15 models

> With iPhone 15 models, you can choose between Optimized Battery Charging, 80% Limit, and None.

> When you choose 80% Limit, your iPhone will charge up to about 80 percent and then stop charging. If the battery charge level gets down to 75 percent, charging will resume until your battery charge level reaches about 80 percent again.

> With 80% Limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.

Does anyone here have any insight into why this is limited to the newest iPhones?
Is it an actual hardware upgrade?
Do you recommend this 80% option to preserve battery life as in will this help my battery last a few more years?

Thank you in advance.
Disclaimer:
I only have an iPhone SE 2020 so I can't try it out just yet.
I hope the next iPhone SE 2024 or 2025 will have this 80% limit option as well.
It should be able to, but what if the person was unconscious? As a human, we'd detect this in other ways.

I don't understand this perspective.. people were already using class semantics in JS before the class keyword; but there was so much inconsistency in the patterns they were using to (ab)use Javascript's prototypal inheritance to emulate classes.

The class keyword brings together a 'best practice' set of pre-existing JS features to provide a uniform OOP experience. Yes, classes still work a little bit differently than they do in other languages, but the benefit of being able to expect the same type of class from modern JS libraries doesn't get appreciated enough.

The only drawback I see to its addition is that it abstracts prototypal inheritance and some other key idiosyncrasies of Javascript from newcomers to the language. But the move away from doing things 'the old ways' has worked out much better for Typescript adoption anyway, as it's hard to type things properly when the interface of an object created by a custom 'class' function is just 'whatever the prototype currently has'

Why the huge jump from $83M to $1666M in "unallocated corporate costs"? The footnote says only $1M of that was hedging losses.
Ditto, FWIW. The car may not always behave like a human does in those circumstances[1], but at this point it's objectively much better at the attention and recognition side of the task.

[1] It tends to be more conservative than human drivers, and in weird ways. If a pedestrian seems at all to be moving in the direction of traffic, even if they're on a sidewalk and just meandering a bit, the car will try to evade (not violently, but it will brake a bit and pull to the outside of the lane).
AVs should in principle liberate public transit from a lot of limitations. Surge capacity should be easier to deploy. Smaller busses on smaller routes should be at less of a cost disadvantage. Pick up and drop off could be more flexible.

I live in a semi-rural area that used to have a trolley line to the next town where one could catch a train into Boston. It's also a challenge to optimize school bus routes in a sparsely populated area, and AVs could help with that.

When you say pipeline I think you only refer to CI/CD pipelines, not ETL pipelines.
Now I’m just imagining endless gridlock because an AV randomly stops mid highway, and all the other AVs reasonably stop, creating waves of backup. And this happening on a fairly frequent intermittent cycle.

Big is different, and scaling this kind of thing to majority of vehicles on the road can cause all sorts of interesting problems.

I’m not saying it’s inevitable; sure, we can and most likely will improve things on the long road to majority AV. This simply occurred to me and I hadn’t seen it articulated before so thought I’d share.
