  1. Re:Just one fatality on Third Tesla Crashes Amid Report of SEC Investigation (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are people so upset about the name? There is no evidence that points to that these three accidents would not have happened if the AP held another name. The main problem is not the name but that the AP is so capable that people have ignored the instructions and warnings and have begun to upload fun videos to Youtube where they drive from the back seat.

    So those "half of the humans" with extraordinary driving skills would simply either not buy Teslas or engage the Autopilot (it's not forced on you know), so what's the problem now again?

    So that is why they didn't hack any wearable watch in any of these studies and instead installed an app on their own watches that could record sensor data. Why would the watch even publicly distribute the sensor readings, even with a massive NSA/Illuminati tinfoil hat measuring millions of miles high there is still no explanation for "their" need for this.

    Also they have to somehow hack the watch in the first place, it's not like it publicly distributes out all the sensor readings.

  5. No there where no bug in the software. There where no hardware that could detect this kind of situation since the radar could not see the truck (due to the construction of the truck) and the camera not being able to distinguish between the sky and the truck due to the colour of the truck and the very bright sun. So no software bugs as GP claimed, and the driver where using the autopilot not as a driving aid but as a autonomous car which is something that Tesla have told everyone that it's not (yet).

    While AMD64 does not emulate the i386 as GP so erroneously claimed the problem is that the AMD64 has no i386 mode, it simply supports more registers and op codes so if your i386 build for any reason happen to include any op code from the AMD64 set then it will work on an AMD64 machine but not on a real i386 machine. How VM's do it, i.e if they also support the full AMD64 code set even if you set it to i386 mode, I don't know. If they don't want to keep two code bases they might allow AMD64 codes in i386 mode.

  7. Someone just died because they didn't operate the car properly, not because of a bug.

    Even more funny is that the upgrade to win10 fails on a guest Win7 running in VirtualBox since the VBOX graphics driver is unsupported. However a fresh install of Win10 never complained and worked perfectly fine. But of course this will not stop MS from nagging me to upgrade that guest even though it cannot be done.

    That you would get the 1.79% for free was claimed by parent and not by me. That said, if you believe that gaming companies have anything like what you propose and that regardless of operating system then you have more than naive, unless we are talking about possible the big power houses like EA and Ubisoft.

    I think the performance of those other games are lower due to them often being written specifically for DX9/10/11 and porting those to OpenGL would require a complete rewrite if performance would be equal and since the market is so much lower they simply "make it work" with some slight tuning around the corners. Still I must say that even if Tomb Raider (2013) is much slower on Linux than on Windows I still got an enjoyable framerate out of it (didn't experience any slowdown that broke the gameplay).

    A sale is still a sale and as long as the porting efforts costs less than what you can sell you have a net profit and for some smaller companies that can be the difference between make it or break it. And to increase your income by 0.84% is not to be frowned upon if the actual number of sales is high enough.

    Well it won't handle tons of logs without any resources, it's not magic. If you had run syslog then that would have consumed just as much cpu if not more.

    For example here is the same output from one server here which still use rsyslogd since it's a non systemd machine (Ubuntu 14.04LTS) and which experienced quite a lot of logging:
    root@www99:~# ps aux | grep syslog

    You should probably check your logs, since journald takes up so much cpu time on your system I would guess that there is one or more processes that logs a ton of data continuously, or at least did at some point in time. They all show 00:00 of cpu time on my machine and it have been up for the same amount of time as yours.

    No you will not get jail time in the Scandinavian Countries for not being able to pay your debt. What will happen is that your assets will be impounded (however not all your assets since you are allowed to live and eat even if you have a debt here), jail time will only be an issue if it turns out that he actively hides assets from the impounding authority.

    Does not work like that in the Scandinavian countries, there are something that's called beneficium that the impound authority cannot seize. They can for example not make you homeless or take cash that you must use for rent and for living expenses. If he ever gets a payed job however all the salary goes to the impounder (Kronofogden) and then they give you the amount of cash needed for rent and living and then they keep the rest to pay off your debt.

    There is nothing that prevents you from creating your own version of each and every systemd component, the communications protocol that some of the tools use (D-BUS) is not proprietary or secret so it's indeed modular in spirit. And there is already projects that do just that, elogind for example replaces logind and I have heard of other such projects by the OpenBSD team.
