True, but we're getting a lot better at treating cancer, so I suspect that it is going to end up that we try to target it semi-selectively for life extension with the knowledge that it may cause cancer, then try to treat any cancers that emerge.
This system is already in use for lorries, which are hard limited (like the last option described in TFA — engine loses power if driver attepts to accelerate beyond the limit). It's an absolute hell for other users of the road, because they're hard limited to 100 km/h, even on roads where the legal limit is higher. Now the problem is, no two vehicles have exactly the same limit, it varies a noticeable amount, so inevitably one lorry driver will attempt to overtake another one — with speed difference below 1 km/h, at about 100 km/h where legal limit is 140 km/h. It takes about 2 min and usually causes 2-3 km "jams" on motorways.

Then perhaps you shouldn't pass if it's not safe to do so. My problem with everyone in this thread and who is against speed limiters is: the subtext is that they want to go faster than the speed limit so they can arrive faster. It's simply the fact that people are willing to engage is an extremely dangerous activity multiple times a day so that they can save a few minutes a day. The idea that people should have the right to go dangerously fast because it's simply more convenient for them is a psychotic proposition to me
I use my own modem and router with XFinity, and I don't pay any more for doing it. In fact, I pay a little bit less because I'm not paying the monthly equipment rental fee.

That is, as long as I stay on top of it. Every 3 months like clockwork, they "forget" that I'm not renting their equipment and start billing me for it. I have to call them up and remind them.

> then the speed limit is set to 55MPH

The speed limit is set to 55MPH because the road services vehicles that weigh 600lbs all the way up to 80,000lbs. "Safe speed" is not a single universal number for a given stretch of road.

The laws even acknowledge this, as if the weather is extremely unfavorable, you can be pulled over for driving _at_ the speed limit as it will be declared "unsafe speed under given conditions."

This doesn't even approach things like construction zones, traffic accidents and other roadway hazards that can't be flagged in a way for the automated system to recognize correctly.

Some Chinese display manufacturers are dumping lots of small, easy to use, postage stamp sized monochrome blue-white OLED at ~$1.5 apiece from 1 unit with free shipping, which had made it a viable replacement for 7-segments, couple power LEDs, even decorative logo displays, for small scale productions.

If the deployment code needs to be able to ship different versions, I would keep that deployment code in a separate repository - with its documentation bundled there.

The other form of documentation that I am passionate about is documentation that lives in issues, and then linked to from commit messages.

The great thing about issues and issue comments is that they have a clear timestamp attached to them, and there is no expectation that they will be kept up-to-date in the future.

This makes them the ideal place to keep documentation about how the code evolved overtime, and the design decisions that were made along the way.

>>Also, can some describe in detail a scenario where accelerating makes things safer than simply slowing down

Mostly in a situation where you've already messed up. Like you're in a middle of an overtake and suddenly you realize you're not going to make it before the incoming car, speeding up to close the gap can save your life in a way that slamming the brakes and just getting hit head-on wouldn't.

And yes, you shouldn't have gotten into that position in the first place. But if you did then accelerating can save your life(obviously dependant on the specific situation, it's an extreme edge case of course).

> I'm trying to figure out where our understandings differ, since that generally sounds familiar and reasonable to me. I guess you're assuming the callback/accounting code needs to be unsafe or able to violate the GC's preconditions? But I don't see why you assume that. As part of the GC, build some data structures that can handle that accounting and present a safe API, then use those data structures anywhere you don't want to create a root. When the browser code accesses the contents, barriers can be applied automatically.

If this code was all written in Rust, I could imagine there being almost no uses of `unsafe`, except for one: the thing where the GC decides to delete an object.

But this means that all of that code that isn't marked `unsafe`, but instructs the GC about what objects to mark or not, is really super unsafe because if it makes a logic error in telling the GC what to mark then the GC will delete an object that it should not have deleted.

So, the problem here isn't that you can't wrap the unsafe stuff in a safe API. The problem is that even if you do that, all of your seemingly-safe code is really super unsafe.

> The hard part of using a data structure like that is giving it ownership of the data and control over destroying it, but Rc does that too, doesn't it? That kind of thing is why I mentioned Rc. The difference between Rc and GC is much more in the behind-the-scenes tracking than in the API it gives.

The difference between RC and GC is exactly in the fact that the API they give is radically different. And that the behind-the-scenes tracking is different, too.

It's totally valid to tell RC "I want to point at this object so keep it alive".

But that's not the API that the GC will give you, unless it's a pinning API. The API where you tell the GC "keep this alive" will prevent the deletion of the garbage cycles I mentioned earlier.

So, the GC (in the case of something like a browser) gives a different API: one where user code either marks something, or not, at its discretion. There's no easy way to make that safe.

I might be able to shed some light on this (disclaimer: Xoogler).

I worked for a time on Google's internal videoconferencing platform, called GVC. This was in 2010-2011 at a time when a lot of the company's VC equipment was proprietary, specifically Cisco Tandberg units. These were expensive and would be expensive to roll out to thousands of meeting rooms.

around this time a different team was developing Hangouts. It's been awhile so my memory may be off but I think it was called Google Meet at the time? or maybe that was later? It's hard to keep track. I think Hangouts was the name adopted when Google+ came along and rolled Hangouts into its product offering.

There were different configurations of GVC but the most common were these All-in-One ("AIO") monitor/computer combos. It was a full Intel PC. So the GVC platform was a custom Linux distro. The system was designed so GVCs could talk to Google services, which was nontrivial, and so software updates could be rolled out. It kept old distros too in case one didn't boot. These GVCs had to be named and a whole bunch of other issues.

Additionally they needed support for various hardware like a touch panel to dial. Larger units required larger PTZ camera support and support for various microphones.

Anyway, Hangouts became the stack GVC was built on. This ultimately replaced virtually all Tandbergs and saved a fortune. This system was certainly still in use by 2017. I can't speak for later.

Monitoring was a part of all this. So when I see there are *.google.com specific APIs, we need to be sure we're talking about this accurately. Like can Google query any Chrome instance in the world? Or is it only from/to google.com? I don't know the answer and the Tweet doesn't specify.

But given the name hangouts_services and the domain restriction I consider it highly likely this is purely to support monitoring embedded Chrome for GVC. I could be wrong.
Hot take: temporarily exceeding the speed limit to "match flow of traffic" and such are nonsense and should be phased out. Along streetside parking.
The "OS" isn't special here, apps can listen to system audio.

fwiw, you only need to know anything about outputs if you are doing AEC. Blind source separation doesn't have that problem and can just process the input stream.
JDownloader is great, very useful for downloading from DDL sites. Real Debrid is something similar in that it packages up DDL multi-downloads into one download that you can stream or download directly, somewhat like a seedbox for DDL, although it works as a seedbox more generally for torrents as well.
Tik-Tok and an Anti-virus program have pretty different privilege levels I would think. And generally one doesn't install Tik-Tok on servers in the data center, but I guess I could be surprised.
Expect that soon enough they will ask people to put some colored sticker in their car, depending on the age of the car, the technology of the engine, and then you won't be allowed to drive "here" or "there" or you will need a super expensive "pollution-pass".
I think it's more the idea that the speed limit should be reasonably close to what'd be unsafe for long periods, not pressed to the absolute border between what a safe speed and a psychotic speed would be. From that perspective it makes sense that, while you'd ideally like to just go 65 the whole way without obstruction, if you have to pass it's still reasonably to go 67 and do it in a third of the time than clamp to specifically 65 out of ideological principles. If going 67 is just unfathomable from a safety perspective then the problem is probably the speed limit being 65 not what people do to pass at a reasonable rate.

Sometimes you should try looking at the real world instead of trying to assume from first principles.
At about 1.4 million annually, and roughly half are people not in cars, it's only surprising cars and speeds are not more closely regulated. Instead, vehicle makers are allowed to raise the hood line on trucks because it's macho. Which causes more death and worse injury.

I'm of the opinion that applying logic to advertising is a fruitless effort. The largest and most successful companies in the world regularly waste insane sums of money on avenues of advertisement that can't even be measured.

I've sat in on meetings with marketing teams ordering hundreds of thousands of dollars of custom development work for ad campaigns with research entirely based on what I can only describe as "vibes".

They will hire psychologists to tell them that flashing the color yellow while playing a tone in C-flat increases the viewer's desire to spend money on floral scents and no one in the room will question it.

I’d hate for this to become mandatory but at the same time you’ll pry my Ford’s slightly intelligent speed limiter from my cold dead hands. If this change in law means that somehow cars become better at reading speed limit signs (radio signals on roads or sth? maintained by the people who put up the signs? no idea but this gives it a mandate), then I’m only going to love it more.

Though if they make it obligatory to turn on and/or annoying, i’m going to be angry. That shit is going to only make Audi drivers more frustrated than they already are.
> isn't much reason for a new comer to learn git rather than jj

The implementation is what I was thinking of. I've also heard claims that VP9 is inherently slower to encode than H.264, but no idea if that's accurate. AVC/H.264 has very broad hardware support. For example, the 2019 MBP I'm using right now can't do hardware-accelerated VP9 encoding, but even 2011-ish MBPs can do H.264 acceleration in both directions. Intel's support matrix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video

For PCs with dedicated GPUs, Nvidia's matrix doesn't even mention VP8/9 encoding, and for decode there are a lot of VP8/9 "no"s for GPUs that have "yes" for H.264: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-sup...

AV1 looks like it's getting broader support, but it's still new. Zoom's release notes mention they'll use AV1 if the participants support it, and I don't see a similar note about VP8/9.
If cars are required by law to have speed limiting, that means they can know when and where a car is speeding. Cars are closely tied to their owners in many ways (registration, insurance, etc.). One way this could be seen as being a step in the wrong direction is that it not only sets a precedent for collecting that information, but is forcing car manufacturers to start building up that ability.

I personally think it's pretty obvious why people might not want an entity (public governments, or private companies) to have access to that kind of information. You might say well that's all easily mitigated by encrypting the data or making tracking individuals illegal, to which I would ask: what gives you any confidence that the EU (or any government) would enforce/protect that, when there's evidence they are actively anti-encryption and pro-snooping in other domains?

If you need to be walked through the reasoning behind why it might be a bad idea to ~allow~ require these systems to be built, idk what to tell you lol

I understand your concerns and feel exactly the same. But I think at a certain point you can only care so much and dedicate so much time to it. With a home network you can obfuscate so much with little know how, and further you ultimately are "aware" of all packets being sent via examining your own traffic.

The real problem is cars, IoT Devices. Do you drive a vehicle newer than model year ~2015? That thing is sending all kinds of telemetry to OEM manufacturer and their entire supply line of OEM suppliers. That data is firstly used to audit and evaluate functions in the vehicle for future iterations....but then that data is sold as many times as they can to research firms, advertisers, gov't planning boards etc.

Taking ownership of the vehicle is you signing away any investigation or litigation rights, or even access to those data/data systems.

I think THIS is where data privacy awareness needs to be pivoted to, Geolocating "iot" devices like vehicle CPU that no one, not even service techs can ever access.
I think the most a router should be doing is occasionally hitting an NTP endpoint, and that behaviour should be possible to disable/customize.

> Is this a hit piece by a high-definition display manufacturer?

This was the exact thought I had. The paper strikes me as being very odd, and the arguments against using 7-segment LEDs are very thin.

I will agree with one thing, though: the right components to use are an engineering decision and as with all engineering decisions, the right choice (i.e., the right set of tradeoffs) needs to be determined on a project-by-project basis. For a given project, that may mean not using a 7-segment LED. Or it might mean that's exactly the right choice.
