>>In every case if you slow down and pull in you will have less chance of hitting a car coming the other way.

If you're in a middle of the overtake with nothing but trucks on the side, once the differential in speed is large enough you'd need the skill of an F1 driver to slow down just enough to merge back in(assuming they even let you in) and not get hit by the traffic behind you and not to lose control of the car. Add any kind of adverse weather conditions and I'd argue this is actually much more difficult to pull off.

>>This scenario doesn’t make sense.

I guess if you've never seen that scenario play out in real life it's hard to imagine how it would happen.

>>f limits were there it sounds like you think this scenario would also become less common?

Of course, but OP wanted an example where accelerating helps, so I gave them one.

Youtube videos regularly get removed or made private. I have a collection of Saved videos with a fair amount of videos now marked private so I can no longer view them, nor can I see what the video even was. Entire channels have been nuked before.

Great question.

I wouldn’t say that this incident was “the result of” the sidestick issue. The fact that the airplane was in an upset at all was the result of prior miscommunication and pilot error, and while the sidestick confusion hampered the recovery, the crew should have realised what was going on, especially considering the “dual input” warning.

I do agree the Airbus sidestick setup is stupid, and certainly contributed to this incident. But it’s a different order of stupid to Boeing’s recent malfunctions. I don’t think it makes sense to equivocate here.
Airlines want planes in the air making money every hour of every day. They can't make money from the planes when they're grounded due to lax QA at their incumbent supplier (who happens to be a felon).
Do you use AI art generators? Flaws are extremely easily found out, it is only good for a rough snapshot (without much fiddling and even then, artifacts remain).

In fact, your suggestion is even the first I've even heard of such an idea.

Rumor has it that some devices will connect to other networks. I'm not sure this has been proven but it seems a bit hard to catch and it seems like a thing that could be done in the name of accessibility. I'd be interested if anyone has dumped firmware and looked to see if it does or doesn't happen.

Either way, not connecting your TV to wifi isn't an excuse for the behavior. Good for you, but that doesn't justify their actions or make anybody who is not up to date with what kind of spying happens any less of a victim. It shouldn't happen even if you are able to get around them. You should be able to use wifi AND not be spied on. Full stop.

Maven is the de facto standard for open source Java projects, and it still has a reserved seat at that table, but it falls short of what other build systems provide. For example, multi-module projects and incremental builds are more like bolted-on hacks in Maven 3 (I say this with great respect for the work put in by the maintainers). With rules_jvm_external, and other general usability improvements in recent years, Bazel is now quite easy to use. In a corporate context, I think Bazel is a better choice where Java is concerned. I do hope that Maven 4 will close the gap.
> A single cow produces around 220 pounds of methane and around 200 pounds of ammonia per year. That's equivalent to 5ish gigatons of CO2, again per cow per year, so this really makes no sense.

Ignoring the myth of harmful CO2 for a moment - Ammonia is an important nutrient, maybe one of the most important chemicals that make it possible to feed humanity. Another example of environmentalist ideology trying to destroy the foundation of modern civilization. Ammonia is so important that it's produced synthetically in large amounts.

Your ammonia calculation is also merely copy-pasted and comes from factory farming and can't even be used to judge freely grazing cattle. Additionally, the naturally present ammonia goes right back into the soil as fertilizer for the gras. There is no "CO2 equivalency", this is another naive fallacy of the environmentalists. It's just theoretical statistics used for political propaganda purposes.
17 USC §504 says otherwise:

Why will you _want_ to pass? Is that 10mph going to get you there _that_ much faster?

If you were to follow that truck for all 1300 miles of 395 you would get to your destination 3 hours later than if you were going 70mph the whole way.

I would doubt that anyone would want to drive for nearly 19 hours straight, unless you're doing some sort of cannonball run like challenge.

If your destination is a mere 120 miles away, and you followed him the whole way you'd get there only 18 minutes faster. Was it really that important to get there that much faster?
I often find myself behind a truck that is kicking up stones or belching fumes or has a poorly secured load that looks like it could fly off. Doesn't matter if it is going the speed limit, I want to get past it.
Again, in the US there are vastly more Boeing aircraft than Airbus. Incidents and Accidents include a huge array of things, including low tire pressure, bird strikes, going off the runway, near misses etc. Many of which have absolutely nothing to do with Boeing as a manufacturer or their aircraft safety records.
The worker could still send the data back to the page via side-channels.

For example by using up resources like the cpu, the gpu or ram in timed intervalls. The page would then probe for the performance fluctuations of these resources and decode the data from the pattern of the fluctuations.
Is the particular implementation that the model spits out 70+ years old?
Two major confounders for this argument are the raising of national speed limits from the 1970s to the 1990s, during which time traffic accident and fatality rates went down significantly, and the post-COVID bump in traffic accident and fatality rates, during which time, for the most part, no speed limits went up.

Without a control, there can be no confidence in the claimed causal link. Moreover, "speed limit" vs "no speed limit" is not the same question as "lower speed limit" vs "higher speed limit". People often behave in non-intuitive ways, which is part of why studies are conducted in the first place.
Water Lilies: Create Peacefulness
SpaceX fanboys be like "no reuse is lame and obsolete", but something like 3/4th of F9 launches are Starlink launches, so it's not like reuse has converted to sales that much or at all.

Reuse supposedly saves massive cost too, but SpaceX isn't charging that much less to customers, and some competitors are aiming to undercut it by pure expendables, so that's kind of a dubious claim too.

Those guys chanting such claims are just regurgitating marketing messagings.
No, not really. But the longer this sort of things goes on, the more eager people there will be to jump on the next YouTube competitor. In any case, even if they don’t care, I do. And as long as a video has to be played on a screen there will be workarounds.

The limit of freedom is generally agreed to be "one person's freedom ends when it begins to infringe the freedom of others". Speeding definitely crosses that line.

> In this case I would rather have the freedom to intentionally speed (because I need to get my wife to the hospital more quickly, because I'm in the middle of nowhere and want to, or any other reason I deem rational) than be marginally more "safe" thanks to my vehicle nannying me.

It's not you that your vehicle is keeping safe. It's the other people you put at risk with your decision to speed. Your actions affect other people.

"Because you need to get your wife to the hospital more quickly" is not a good reason to speed. I'm a first responder, and one of the things they teach you in the cert class is to not make more patients. There are numerous examples of people making bad situations worse by taking risks that don't meaningful improve their patient's chances.

And the reality is, people who try to justify speeding, mostly just speed because they're impatient. The "taking wife to hospital" hypothetical is rare and even in the rare cases where it happens, speeding isn't helpful.

This is true so long as you define “a couple” to mean “any number”

Boeing just pled guilty to criminal charges yesterday stemming from two crashes.

And there have been several whistleblowers talking about problems in production recently.

Wouldn't this be trivial to defeat by pulling the playlist multiple times (maybe via a proxy to get a different IP), and only showing the chunks which did not change?

I guess they could prevent that if they randomize the part names (with some m:1 mapping on the server side). As long as you have control of your CDN, this would even not mess with caching.
Because bad people exist and there are imminent dangers? There are legitimately good uses of people shooting people all the time. Hostage situations being the painfully obvious example.

Oh, there are more. The first dozen A380s built are said to be different than the later ones.

That doesn't mean that Boeing now has its QA in order, or that Boeing's current state proves that anyone else is equally bad. It's just whataboutism.
So hypothetically, if a developer publishes GPL software on Codeberg, and someone uploads it to GitHub, could the original developer file takedowns against the Github copy?

If a page can already deduce performance fluctuations all on its own, then you don't need a special access-limited performance API, do you? Just have the page do whatever you're imagining could be done to extract this side-channel info on the performance of the host — and then leak the results of that measurement over the network directly.

(I imagine, if such measurements done by pages are at-all distinguishable from noise, that they are already being exfiltrated by any number of JS user-fingerprinting scripts.)
Do the own they rest of the equipment on the network that they're putting at risk?
It seems that "wants attention", "managing career", "promoting x" are 99% of written content these days...

Huh?

As someone designing electrical circuits that might or might not use a 7-digit display this seems rather to be a guide for which use cases to avoid them.

Electrical engineers sadly sometimes don't think about that at all and slap what they know onto everything. When you have a medical device where a reading error or ambiguity can have serious consequences you might want to be aware of that. There are 7-segment-display usecases where that is not an issue irrelevant, e.g. because you have enough contextual clues to not hold the device wrong and read it upside down or because the potential damage from a reading error is irrelevant.

But this is still a design consideration one should be aware of. Especially in times where 7-segment displays aren't necessarily the cheapest option.
> Is the category of "deaths from speeding" large enough to justify any action whatsoever?

Speeding causes as many deaths in the U.S. as drunk driving does. But people like to speed, so there isn't the political will to deal with it.

I disagree only slightly. In a more traditional control arrangement, both controls are slaved together to provide immediate feedback on input. With all of the confusion going on in that cockpit at that time, audible warnings likely were not as effective as it would have been to feel the stick move in an unexpected way.

But yes, aircraft crashes are rarely if ever the result of a single point of failure. It's always a cascade of failures that leads up to the crash.
Because this, and more very strange rules it is very hard for ticketing systems to get into the Italian market.
Some examples:

- not allowed to change to time or name of the event after the 1st ticket is sold

- only allowed section names in halls from a know list

- free tickets on events... can only do this under strange conditions

- smart card application, for encryption, must run on a physical server in Italy. You should not be able to log into the ticketing box office if that smart card application is not running.
At this point, legitimate companies buying credential dumps from cybercriminals might be the biggest spenders on cybercrime forums. The number of separate services offering "personas" to go buy these dumps is getting out of hand.

There's a lot of complicated law, differing between different jurisdictions to cover this question, and to balance the needs of the public with commercial desires. It's not as simple as you make it sound, and there's no reason we should just default to bending over backwards for commercial interests.

Laws exist to serve society, not the other way around.

Show HN: Maelstrom – A Hermetic, Clustered Test Runner for Python and Rust
Hi everyone,

Maelstrom is a suite of tools for running tests in hermetic micro-containers locally on your machine or distributed across arbitrarily large clusters. Maelstrom currently has test runners for Rust and Python, with more on the way. You might use Maelstrom to run your tests because:

* It's easy. Maelstrom functions as a drop-in replacement for cargo test and pytest. In most cases, it just works with your existing tests with minimal configuration.
* It's reliable. Maelstrom runs every test hermetically in its own lightweight container, eliminating confusing errors caused by inter-test or implicit test-environment dependencies.
* It's scalable. Maelstrom can be run as a cluster. You can add more worker machines to linearly increase test throughput.
* It's clean. Maelstrom has built a rootless container implementation (not relying on Docker or RunC) from scratch, in Rust, optimized to be low-overhead and start quickly.
* It's fast. In most cases, Maelstrom is faster than cargo test, even without using clustering. Maelstrom’s test-per-process model is inherently slower than pytest’s shared-process model, but Maelstrom provides test isolation at a low performance cost.

While our focus thus far has been on running tests, Maelstrom's underlying job execution system is general-purpose. We provide a command line utility to run arbitrary commands, as well a gRPC-based API and Rust bindings for programmatic access and control.

Feedback and questions are welcome! Thanks for giving it a whirl.
If you've ever stayed in the heart of Tokyo you know the JR Yamanote line well. What a feat for Japan to have it.

I always thought trains (light rail, high speed, what ever) were so much better than cars. Have more traffic? Just add more trains, no extra rails needed. Yamanote line rush hour showed me how effective that is AND how you might need more rail eventually. Rush hour had a train there every ~2 minutes and they were still packed.

Still better than sitting in stop and go car traffic. Can't wait to go back!
