You cannot get a warrant without probably cause that a crime has been committed. So asking for a warrant to search your computer is literally asking to be charged with a crime.

IANAL, but demanding a prosecutor and judge be involved when dealing with an IT department is really dumb. If you can just agree with their legal team (and your lawyer) on the stipulations of the search and confirmation, you can't be charged with further crimes if they find anything ("fruit of the poison tree"). But insisting on getting hit with a warrant means anything they find can be used against you.

That's no excuse to allow bad laws to stand unchallenged.
What's interesting is I found that the less time I spent on an estimate the more accurate I was. (5 perfect cuts, 97% accuracy total.)
Rarity tends to evolve towards prestige. I've witnessed it with things as mundane as office chairs. All the chairs were the same model, a small subset were in company colors and developed very high demand. Often, departing employees would "will" their special chairs to colleagues
I think that's the sticking point, declarative toolkits didn't mesh too well with C++(or C) projects so we have a bunch in Rust but that's not too interesting for those with existing codebases, I started on a C++ 20 prototype myself a few years back (because to make it even remotely elegant I felt that I wanted designated initializers from C++20) but it kinda turned into a huge hairball of templates to even approach something like react style jsx/tsx rendering.

I'm pretty sure that something based on IMGui could be more or less isomorphous to React style rendering, it'd be up to someone to implement it though (and it'd probably be worth it since building applications at scale you win back a lot of time by not fiddling with state manually all over the place).

Using Chromium however is explicitly not where we should want to go (it's basically a kitchen sink in itself), but we go there anyhow (me included often) because it's just so much more quick thanks to progress in dev experience in the webdev area.
> Remind me so, who did ratify that court and refuses that their milotary falls under its jurisdiction?

Brundi and the Philippines? Maybe i misunderstand your question as i don't know what you are getting at.

Israel has never ratified. However Palestine did ratify so the ICC does have juridsiction here.
Something like 30,000 Americans alone are killed every year in car accidents. I think the primary idea is to reduce the constant death on the road by making machines that are safer at driving than humans. The toll that car accidents have on society is honestly unconscionable.
It's always fun when the Silicon Valley "move fast and break things" ethos meets real world government bureaucracy and regulation.

Filling out forms with made-up bullshit just to get an approval works great when you are putting together a SaaS sales presentation, not so much when it's the state Department of Transport on the other end and you are working on matters of public safety.
We have learned to our chagrin that such data is functionally useless to joe average voter because he is far far too ill informed and ill positioned to use it.

For instance it's incredibly easy to detect double voting if you have to check in at the polling location and send your ballot in in a signed envelope how on earth would it be possible to miss such?

What can happen and does happen to thousands of folks in an election with over a 100M voters is folks plan to be out of town and come back.

Lets be mean. When you thought of this sort of circumstance is an imaginary problem that would have thousands of false positives and zero true positives.

You ably demonstrate why its useless to crowd source election integrity because the crowd doesn't know anything. If you need further evidence look at all the other imaginary election fraud from causes as simple as not understanding things like

- people cast legit votes then die weeks or months later

- people move in area and forget to update their voter registration

- people have the same first and last name as the recently dead/moved/imprisoned/otherwise ineligible
I don't think that was the belief at first, I guess it is now, though. If I recall correctly, prior to the vaccine, the mortality and hospitalization rates among even healthy adults were still quite high. I also recall plenty of reported long-term side effects, like originally active people getting winded by a staircase for weeks after.

Weren't the mortality rates something like 1% for adults? I remember being shocked by the numerical consequences of the "just infect everyone and get it over with" plans floated by some governments.
Yeah, understood.

To clarify my stance, I view this as a net positive for the ecosystem and I hope other companies follow your example. This is a really good thing we hope to see more of!

I’m hoping developers will lean in more too, where sustainability is concerned, to make less passive options a viable option for companies. I think we’re definitely heading the right direction overall.

The same people who want to "defund the police", which doesn't necessarily mean what it sounds like, are not typically the same people who own firearms. Nor is "defund the police" relevant to Washington, DC, as such funding fights are mostly at the state and local level.

Typically, "state senator" refers to senators at the state government level, and thus they are in their own states.

> * The ratio of exponents is 102:101; not much apparent difference.

I'm not sure if you understand why this is nonsense. A factor of 10 is not small by any scale, and the relationship between 1 ton and 100kg does not suddenly become insignificant if you decide to express weight in nanograms.
vt does this and it's so much better
> A warrant is required for all government search,

False. (As, also, is the upthread claim that "A warrant is only required for a police search")

Reasonableness is required for all government search, warrants are usually (but not categorically, there are all kinds of established exceptions to the warrant requirement) required for reasonableness.

Wealth is wealth, and if you do not own a house and do not have 450k € extra in the bank compared to the home owner than you are poorer, literally.
10K is a lot of money. But there's something to be said for being really confident (as opposed to just confident) that your car won't have issues for the next 100,000 miles as opposed to the next 50,000. That and there's something nice about knowing the car has been taken care of the way you'd take care of it (because you have) as opposed to a stranger (who, who knows maybe planned to get rid of it after 50K miles?)

:-) This is why everytime I've had to buy a car I think about getting a used one and end up buying new. And honestly, I tend to agree with the overall sentiment of this thread that cars a waste of money. I just don't want to have to think about the damn - I just want to get in and be able to get to where I'm going.
Yes, but the quality of the self-driving Tesla has is 10x less capable than Cruise - I don't know anyone who actually uses "self-driving" with any degree of confidence.
Furthermore he begins by saying "accessibility" is too long to use but "a11y" is too terse. But also use it anyway.

Take a visit to an educational supply store... there are a lot of tangible math games for very young kids. One that works well at very young ages is a physical balancing game. You get a balance and a variety of tokens (some that look like blocks or small animals, etc.) and some that look like actual numerals. The numerals have the same weight as the same number of tokens. So kids can put the number 3 on one side of the balance and then learn that they have to stack 3 tokens on the other side to make the balance balance. You can also ask questions, e.g., you can place the number 3 on one side of the balance and then one token on the other side and ask them to predict how many tokens need to be added to that one token to add to the number on the other side. And you can make it progressively more complex, e.g., stack the number 3 and number 2 on one side of the balance and then let kids figure out how many individual tokens need to be stacked on the other side to amount to the sum of 3 and 2. The pivoting action of the balance tends to keep kids' attention (but be realistic about the attention spans of young kids... we're talking under 15 minutes a session).

This is just anecdote, but having taken trips in both Waymo and Cruise in SF, I feel very comfortable in Waymo: it drives carefully but confidently. It alerts me when cyclists are near when I'm getting out. It navigates coned-off work areas. Cruise required a lot of (remote) human intervention during my trips.

Worth reading even just for this reminder:

"The iterative experimentation that eventually birthed the commercial Internet was delayed until the 1990s not because the technology wasn’t ready - the underlying infrastructure had been invented in the 1960s.

>> I immigrated from my country => I'm an immigrant.

That's not really the case within the EU at least it's not black and white. You have the same rights as the "native" population. What makes you an immigrat? People in the U.S don't say they immigrate when they move from one state to another...they just move and I think that's the case with the EU as well.

> "I want to start a company, what should it do?"

That's not what the article is saying, although I appreciate the sentiment exists. The core idea was that, if you are someone that likes to solve problems, and you've noticed some in the world, how do you figure out a) which of them is a good idea to work on and b) if you find out your initial ideas are flawed, how should you improve them?

I don't mean to single your comment out but I see a common idea I disagree with throughout this comment section namely:

"You should only work on the 1 problem you have a burning desire to solve"

I get why people feel like this. There is a culture of people that just want to start companies because it seems cool. To that I say, so what? If they solve a problem for people, and are successful, it doesn't matter what their initial motivation was and if they fail they fail. Secondly, a problem is not an idea. A problem is a starting point for many ideas - what I think could be better understood is how to ideate from a problem as a starting point. Thirdly, curious people exist in the world and it would be a good thing if they were solving problems and maybe starting companies as a vehicle to distribute their solution. Curious people don't have a single thing they're curious about, they may have many problems they'd like to work on, Elon Musk had a list of at least 2 (humans aren't multi-planetary and we're running out of fossil fuels) but slotted in online ads & payments first because it was a better problem to solve for him at the time.
>Personally most people I know who don't want the covid vax reached that conclusion after weighing the risk/benefit

This has to be a class/geographic thing because all but one of the 2 dozen or so people I have met that told me they didnt get the covid vax(rural area, southern state), said they did so for reasons that revolved loosely around " i dont want the demon-crat drug changing my DNA and causing a WHO mass population culling". You could definitely claim that only those types of people are the ones being vocal about it, but the actual demographic breakdown of opinion on the covid vaccine....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://...

only 40% of Republicans view the covid vaccine as safe, as of sept. 23. last month. they STILL dont think its safe. compared to 80% for democrats, a lot of that likely to due any loading of the word "safe".
TxDMV needs to follow this. Fuck these companies.

They are testing their garbage in dense urban areas. Too many times their vehicles just stop in the middle of the road.

If it rains, vehicle stops.

If the light is out, vehicle panics and stops.

Somebody puts a cone on the hood, vehicle panics.

If a single variable not accounted for in their algorithms shifts beyond expected range, it fucking panics.

So much money dumped/wasted into “autonomous personal vehicles”. How about we invest in making our cities more pedestrian, bike, and public transportation friendly? Let’s move people more efficiently rather than further digging ourselves into this hole.
But not Waymo. Which confirms all my personal biases.

More seriously, the statement cites four specific clauses that caused the permit to be suspended. The second one seems really interesting as it implies that there was a lie of omission where the others are more or less what I’d expect regarding safety risks:

> Today’s suspensions are based on the following:

> 13 CCR §228.20 (b) (6) – Based upon the performance of the vehicles, the Department determines the manufacturer’s vehicles are not safe for the public’s operation.

> 13 CCR §228.20 (b) (3) – The manufacturer has misrepresented any information related to safety of the autonomous technology of its vehicles.

> 13 CCR §227.42 (b) (5) – Any act or omission of the manufacturer or one of its agents, employees, contractors, or designees which the department finds makes the conduct of autonomous vehicle testing on public roads by the manufacturer an unreasonable risk to the public.

> 13 CCR §227.42 (c) – The department shall immediately suspend or revoke the Manufacturer’s Testing Permit or a Manufacturer’s Testing Permit – Driverless Vehicles if a manufacturer is engaging in a practice in such a manner that immediate suspension is required for the safety of persons on a public road.
Well, assume some Moore's law increases.
Progress can go in the wrong direction. Self-driving cars are an elitist attempt to avoid funding a far better solution: Trains.
That doesn't seem unnecessary. You need something visible at a distance to warn of reduced headroom. It might make sense to update it to require something reflective, but hanging a standard something there does make sense.
It should do it in a new tab. There have been discussions about it, but all the attempts have been abandoned due to spaghetti code.
That is a good point. A secondary benefit, is a self driving car can literally give most workers that commute about an hour per day of their lives back. For some people it will be two to three hours.
The point is being able to read a book during your commute without getting assaulted or robbed.
You're right, a human driver might not have remained in place. And as a result they would have risked further injury or death.

"“When it comes to someone pinned beneath a vehicle, the most effective way to unpin them is to lift the vehicle,” Sgt. Kathryn Winters, a spokesperson for the department, said in an interview. Were a driver to move a vehicle with a person lying there, “you run the risk of causing more injury.”"[0]

Violating sanctions is a big deal and a risk no business wants to explore. It’s unfortunate but true that most of the automated solutions have a very high false positive rate (sanctions are way more expensive than unhappy customers). When I was at jpmorgan I was told there was literally an entire campus in Florida for double checking every flagged transaction.

Tl;dr it’s expensive to run any sort of zero false negative, low false positive screening process without a lot of dedicated engineering and manpower, and if you’re not a bank you’re gonna do a scheme that’s got a greater false positive rate to keep the costs manageable

More like we can’t name things (eg. gene names) the way scientists want because of needing to work with the data in Excel. So instead of OCT4 we get a different name because Excel mangled the name into a date for decades.

Excel is still the easiest way to look at tabular data, even if it isn’t part of the production workflow. And sadly, even if you save the file as txt, Excel would always mangle certain fields.

So yes… users have been working around Excel-isms for years.

> then attempted to pull over to avoid causing further road safety issues, pulling the individual forward approximately 20 feet.

That’s a pretty enormous screw up and not one I’d heard about when this was initially reported. Interesting the statement from the DMV implies they were lying…
Meh. There’s no chance it will succeed in forking the community, so it’s just another thing in the HN Cabinet of Curiosities.
Not sure if OP is serious or all above is a sarcasm.
> This is called achieving a minimal risk condition

so pulling over after a collision, which resulted in dragging the human 20 feet is an interpretation of this regulation.

sounds like California and Federal AVs regulations are equally not safe for the public's operations

which is a good enough reason to revoke permits too, until they fix this together with the private industry
Tragic all around.

“The Nissan Sentra then tragically struck and propelled the pedestrian into the path of the AV. The AV biased rightward before braking aggressively, but still made contact with the pedestrian. The AV detected a collision, bringing the vehicle to a stop; then attempted to pull over to avoid causing further road safety issues, pulling the individual forward approximately 20 feet. The driver of the Nissan Sentra fled the scene after the collision.”

Hebrews also states that "we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all".

It would be awesome if container snapshotting was good enough that taking snapshots of in-memory databases was a semi-viable option.

The demoe/paper on Quake vm's migrating across servers in particular had some cool techniques for incremental snapshotting. It d send over one image of memory, let the game-server keep running, track what was changing, then send those deltas to the other server. Trying to re-snapshot an entire in-memory database feels sizable, but for slowly changing data incremental snapshots feel like they have potential.
Is this just a troll comment?

- Zero traffic fatalities would be nice
- Reduced congestion/traffic, people can get to places faster
- Never having to worry about parking again
- No more need for cars parked on streets, more space & safer for cyclists and pedestrians
- Reduced income requirements for those that need access to a car

There are countless benefits. The transition period to get there will be a little tumultuous, but we'll get there eventually as a society

That's crazy. There is absolutely no reason for this. I would understand if it were the word "Hamas" but this is just plain stupid.
Not sure about the specifics here but to jump on your point about human drivers not being safe...

10000% we need safer designs for streets and roads, better education, automated enforcement of speed limits, dis-incentives for larger/heavier/more dangerous vehicles, ...

All of these things need to be done, and can be done with existing technology today. We don't need self-driving cars to address our problems; they're essentially a distraction and an excuse to postpone improvements.
If Americans were serious about reducing car deaths they'd ban gigantic pickups and SUVs with blind spots big enough to fit a Volkswagen. They'd ban cars from city centers and build bicycle highways. They'd invest in convenient rail infrastructure.

Instead we've got "it's a car but you can doomscroll while on your 45 minute commute and we harvest your data to sell ads".

This has nothing to do with public safety.
