I'm not sure we need to retrofit Atlanta or Dallas, or what you might envision here. You could for example maintain existing infrastructure without spending a lot of taxpayer money on new highways and instead allocate funding to improving density, adjusting zoning, eliminating surface parking lots, and literally just paving sidewalks and bike lanes.

Busses can run on existing highways and throughout cities. City streets can already accommodate trams and bike lanes.

I agree that self-driving cars are "going to be a thing" but their proliferation I doubt. They're not really a category change from Uber, it's just "more efficient" as an additive solution, but we need subtractive solutions. You can think of the car and self-driving cars in particular in the same way you can think of personal digital cameras, alarm clocks, and smiliar devices before the advent of the iPhone. The iPhone (and other smart phones) was a subtractive product and eliminated the need for those devices.

Similarly a sidewalk and building well (among other things) eliminate much of the need for a personal car and so Ford, GM, Toyota, Tesla, etc. can't effectively compete because they don't build sidewalks or have anything to do with this category of transit. If I can just walk over to the grocery store like I could in London or Osaka then no amount of self-driving will matter.
> anything falling in approaches the speed of light as it approaches the event horizon

Only relative to static observers, i.e., observers who are hovering at a constant altitude above the horizon. But there is no such observer at the horizon, so no observer ever sees the infalling object going past them at the speed of light.

> So to external observers they slow down.

No, that isn't the reason they appear to slow down to external observers. This is curved spacetime and you can't use your intuitions from Special Relativity, since that is only valid in flat spacetime.

The reason the infalling object appears to slow down to an external observer is that the light it emits takes longer and longer to get back out to the external observer, because of the way spacetime is curved.

> I think of black holes as onions, everything approaches the event horizon and then (to external observers) get frozen at the edge, until the black hole gets bigger.

This view is wrong. Things fall into the hole. They don't pile up at the horizon. They appear to slow down as they approach the horizon, but that is an optical illusion created by the curvature of spacetime.

No, the solution there is appropriate security of footage, appropriate access control, and appropriate vetting of footage before release.

But there should be little to no discretion.

There are security cameras in hospital ERs (I'm a paramedic) where I absolutely assure you even outside rooms, in the open areas, people in states of undress (from MVA/trauma, etc., and us working on them) and people in behavioral crisis are a daily occurrence. Those cameras are not turned off then.
Because, despite the phony name, it's not actually self-driving. It's merely a driver assist. And when it's only a driver assist, there's always someone sitting in the driver's seat (who may or may not be paying attention) that you can pin any crash on.

Thanks for the honest reply!

I think we're mostly in agreement, and let me clarify I wasn't even trying to disagree with you on anything.

> I wasn't trying to add token disclaimers to pass off praise of socialism/communism

This wasn't what I tried to imply, but evidently I should have expressed myself better: I think you raised valid points, and my observation was regret about the fact you -- like many in forums like this -- must coach every topic like this with disclaimers about not being communist sympathizers. You had to preempt the accusation by making it explicit this is not what you're saying, which to me is a sad state of affairs for online discourse. Like you said, we should be able to examine ideas from all sides "because some of them might be good", but this becomes very difficult if one must fend off accusations of being a commie for even daring to suggest something is positive about socialism.

> I don't know exactly how to articulate this, but I wish people were willing to consider "capitalism vs socialism" less as a black and white "good vs evil" dichotomy, and more as a vast spectrum or cluster of policies. In reality, those are the kinds of systems we live with.

Yes, 10000000% agreed. This is also what I believe. I wish we could discuss the more "socialist" side of policies more openly and without disclaimers.
Is this not a trivial consequence of universality of NNs?
Same here. The most infuriating thing is how they downplayed the data breach, specially considering some of their customers live in dangerous countries.

I’ve switched to a Coldcard. Everything from purchase to the device operation seems to be highly focused on security and protections against tampering. No client software… it’s all sneakernet. Coinkite even deleted my customer data a few weeks after purchase without me having to request.

I still have my ledger. I think it is a nice device but when I tried to repurpose it as an yubikey of sorts (it has fido and gpg micro apps) it didn’t actually worked alright. I never trusted ledger live though.
Thank you, much appreciated

> cities should be pushing for alternatives

Most are, but a massive number of Americans live in sprawling suburbs and small-to-medium sized towns, not cities. Most of those places are ill-suited (to the extreme) for mass transit and other non-car options - yet they are perfectly designed to handle cars.
> Am I missing something - what negative effects are there?

Paragraph 1:

What really bugs me about all this: not only were they designed to break down, they messed that up to the point that the trains could have broken down while in service. The fact that a manufacturer would risk the lives of the passengers of the trains should result in personal liability for all of the execs of that company.

Last I checked a bank is a financial institution, which the GP said they still get from Google Play. But that doesn't mean you have to get all your apps from Google Play, which was the GP's point.
> I would say that 3-4 beers several times a week is allot of alcohol.

I agree, I drink on average 1-2 a month, it's going to be 3-4 this month because of extra family and friend gatherings because of the holidays and I'm already feeling like its excessive. The article doesn't answer if my level of drinking would require the same length of abstinence.
Hell yeah, only way we're going to deal with this problem is shock and awe.
Nah, there is still enough collective delusion in the brand to keep the stock somewhat propped up vs legacy auto’s slow death.

It's all about tolerance. Half a pint gets me quite tipsy now because I drink maybe once a month at best, a pint will get me past the sweet spot already. A few years back I could have half a bottle of wine and be in the same perceived state
Wow...Voices fit for print. At least they got to express themselves.
We need the police. I guarantee the alternative power structures that would develop in their absence would be worse.

This said, if we want people to sign up for the role, there needs to be some protection and privacy in place for them. They are also people, with families and in some cases organized and dedicated opposition.

In pursuit of these goals, zero expectation of privacy seems like an unrealistically high bar.

There is an option to always require 2fa when publishing a package.

> To protect your packages, as a package publisher, you can require everyone who has write access to a package to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. This will require that users provide 2FA credentials in addition to their login token when they publish the package.

> Require two-factor authentication and disallow tokens: With this option, a maintainer must have two-factor authentication enabled for their account, and they must publish interactively. Maintainers will be required to enter 2FA credentials when they perform the publish. Automation tokens and granular access tokens cannot be used to publish packages.

This is a big dramatization of the Tesla situation. No consumer vehicle has a driverless system that tolerates inattention, they are merely driving aids. Nobody on the consumer market is claiming to be anywhere near level 5 fully autonomous driving.

Tesla’s full self driving system is the only one on the consumer market that will drive on city streets for you in the form of beta software. Yes, it’s going to make you touch the wheel and prove you are alert. Which competitor doesn’t? Yes, it’s a beta that isn’t done. Yes, it will disengage at some point. Are there any other car makers with software that is further along?

A Waymo driverless cab has a roof rack and all four corners of the vehicle covered with equipment that might cost up to five figures to produce and install. It isn’t a consumer product. The whole reason consumer automakers like Tesla don’t want to bother with that equipment is that it isn’t something that will ever make financial sense. Consumer personal vehicles are cost control exercises where every dollar and cent counts. When you buy a base model Tacoma and it has an 8” screen instead of a 12” screen, that’s a change that saved Toyota $5-10 at most, and that $5 or $10 matters.

Your comment makes it sound like Tesla is in some kind of financial or competitive danger because of its autopilot/FSD feature, but I think that just isn’t true from a dollars and cents standpoint. If anything Tesla’s strategy has much higher profit margin potential due to its reliance on consumer grade equipment.
Are all the responses below from US? I mean, I get it, TFA is US-specific.

This is interesting, I have the opposite opinion. I dislike helm for public distribution, because everyone wants _their_ thing templated, so you end up making every field of your chart templated and it becomes a mess to maintain.

Internal applications don't have this problem, so you can easily keep your chart interface simple and scoped to the different ways you need to deploy your own stack.

With Kustomize, you just publish the base manifests and users can override whatever they want. Not that Kustomize doesn't have its own set of problems.

So if I'm not on my VPN (or at home) nothing is shown. Other considerations:

- You may want a VLAN or separate guest network depending on if you allow guests on your network, what type of services you're running, etc.

- Many of the things I run at home have password authentication and I use them in addition to the VPN restriction.

- This was the first thing I thought of and may be insecure for reasons outside of my expertise.

- The nice thing about this is that I run pihole in the same compose file so when my phone is on my VPN I get remote ad-blocking "for free".

- Tailscale is easier and nicer (UI-wise) to set up, but I stopped using it because it's a battery hog on iOS. The "trusting someone else's server" thing is also an issue, but if not for the battery issue, I would probably still be trading the added risk for the convenience. This was not too bad to set up, though, and I'm happy with it for my simple needs. The Tailscale app also doesn't have a convenience feature that the Wireguard app does: I can tell Wireguard specific networks that I don't want it to run on (i.e. when I'm home) so that it enables automatically when I leave and turns off when I'm home.

It’s not to say that spamming fireball is a viable strategy, but all decisions need to be made in the context of remembering that they have a fireball more than anything.

>If one isn't trained as (or thinking as) a scientist, then I think it's easy to miss the importance of documenting expected results. (...) (For example, in this particular context, if one wants to argue against police claims that body-cams offer sufficient accountability, being able to argue from specific cases where the accountability has been subverted is much more likely to be useful than arguing from a general feeling that they won't be used properly.)

That would only matter if it was a matter of "better argument" setting the issue.

Whereas it's a matter of power balance: those in power want the police on their side, and the police wants less oversight.

Though the parent does not "argue against police claims that body-cams offer sufficient accountability".

I think they're rather pointing that the accountability they offer in "optimal use", don't matter if police chiefs don't care how they're used/bypassed/workaround-ed/and so on, and this is allowed to have minimal impact on the officers and them.
