To me the question isn't why they they are underestimating the problem, but instead why are they concentrating on self driving cars?
Obviously the first applications should be self driving Buses, Long Haul 18 wheelers, Garbage Trucks, etc. etc.
Things where slower speed is acceptable whose route is mostly pre-planned, where companies are paying a man to drive rather than someone is driving themselves.
You would have to remove things from it, not just keep adding every paradigm from every other language. That thing has everything and the kitchen thing: you can do pure C with it. Or (almost) pure Java. Or only macros and templates. Anyway one programmer's C++ program might as well be an alien language to another C++ programmer.
I can't remember who said it, but they said that C++ is actually 4 distinct languages under one banner (from memory): Procedural, OOP, C-style Macros, and Templates.
Each of them have different attributes and gotcha's.
I used to know C++ fairly well in the late 90's, but when I look at the current state of it I tend to shake any head in wonder as to what it has become. Not only have there been so many new additions to it, there have also been completely new paradigms in how to approach it.
He sounds like an intelligent, well-behaved and mature 14-year old. He is viewing this professionally and his parents seem to be quite reasonable. If you have a video game version of Justin Beiber on your hands, you don't just throw it away.
All of us would have loved it to have something like this to happen to us when we were kids.
Have you seen Justin Bieber lately? Recently he has joined a cult like church, dropped out of music and diving deep into trying to fix his screwed up life. And he blames it solely on basically permanently being on tour since 14. I'm no fan but he seems to be working through some huge existential crisis and I give him props for that rather than continually letting it consume him.
Or you can wait 2 weeks and buy the $8 knock-off on eBay. That's a great idea and the implementation looks good, but $198 for a few ICs, 6 IR LEDs, and $2 worth of injection molding is insane. I can see $59 even, but $200?
$200 is steep.. but I'm sure the "think o fetch children crowd" will think its reasonable
I'm still using the free TextWrangler from Bare Bones. It works fine for me on High Sierra even though Bare Bons says
If you are an existing TextWrangler customer, it’s time to switch to BBEdit. We promise that you will feel right at home, because the two products are identical in every way that you’re used to. And you still don’t have to pay anything, unless you want to support us by buying a license.
TextWrangler is not compatible with macOS 10.13 (High Sierra). Please install and use BBEdit instead.
Of course my MacBook pro can't do Mojave, so that's another reason for sticking with TW as according to MacRumors
The Mac App Store version requires macOS Mojave 10.14.2 or later, while the direct version requires macOS Sierra 10.12.6 or later.
And I just checked the App Store and thankfully it won't let me download BBEdit.
Looks like the men have been violating the number one qualification for women on Tinder.
Honesty is the best policy? How about you clean up the ladies bios and pictures? Oh - the picture looks like you weigh 100 pounds less? Must be the camera angle.
You are presupposing that the women actually exist in the first place. During the data breach a few years ago Ashley Madison was exposed as having a ton of fake profiles (one site even suggested 90-95% of female profiles were fake) I presume that any site that requires men to pay real money to connect women most like has a huge number of fake profiles on their books.
How exactly does that work? They move too slow to generate a lot of kinetic energy, and burning them is a challenge . ..
Geez.. don't you know.. the manatees are going to be the operators of the plant! Thats why it is called a Manatee Energy Storage Center - the Manatees are operating it.
This is really forward thinking by Florida. When climate change floods the whole state and everything is underwater you'll find that the manatees are eminently suited for manual labor. So its essential to start getting them trained up now for the job.
If I am on camera then it's the owner who has a problem.. because he gets to see me walk around naked and sit on the furniture naked and peer out the window naked and surf for "not-porn" naked etc etc etc
And I am not exactly a male model
But yeah.. I shouldn't have to worry about being spied on. AirBnB already has my cc and other details so it would be easy for them to track me down after the fact.
Now I am wondering if if some sort of infrared laser gizmo exists that would blank out all the cameras in a room?
that every time microsoft gets ownership of something a few weeks or months later some bad shit like this happens, makes me wonder if a lot of this sort of thing is an inside job,
MS didn't force people to upload keys to 100,000 repositories. This is not a MS thing and implying it is is pure flamebait.
Poor critical thinking from a named member, insightful response from an AC. What is going on here; this isn't my Slashdot! Where are my hot grits and Cowboy Neals?
Netcraft confirmed that Natalie's beowulf cluster in Soviet Russia would have the answer to that. But only if it ran Linux.
Finally someone who might get technology. On that alone, I'd give him a chance FFS... instead of being stuck with the pontificating tribe elders who only see a 'series-of-tubes'.
That hacker status is a double edged sword. It could be just as easily used to promote him as being tech savvy as well as being used to demonize him for being one of those scary hackers who wants steal your kidneys via the interwebs.
Personally I am on the "great.. he has a clue" side of the fence when it comes to technology.
TFA is experimenting with using radios to transmit information long distances because they fear repressive regimes censoring data passed through the interwebs.
This makes me wonder about why repressive regimes would allow the use of a communications mechanism that can't be censored in the first place.
TFS mentions North Korea, well the magic interwebs have this to say about North Korea Licensing of Ham Radios:
Only North Korea and Yemen do not issue amateur radio licenses to their citizens, although in both cases a limited number of foreign visitors have been permitted to obtain amateur licenses in the past. HamCall.Net lists 19 amateur stations in North Korea assigned in the P5 series, although the specific call signs themselves remain unknown.[6] A Serbian amateur writes that he was "licensed" as P5A, but that he was not allowed to operate on either occasion he was in the country.
Friend, so far as I'm concerned, putting a motor on a stand-up scooter is a momumentally stupid idea to begin with, and when they did it anyway it should have been limited in speed to a fast walk, not double-digit miles-per-hour speed.
Do your requirements also include a person walking in front of them waving a red flag?
I am not precluding inherently safe design, but if you manufacture a system that has a failure mode that causes injury or death then you need to take that into account, and SIL levels are the appropriate method of assessing it. And in those cases mitigation is the correct term to use. SIL analysis is statistical in nature, thus there can be no absolutes, so can only mitigate the affects of a failure, you can't completely design out the possibility of a failure. And yes, even intentionally applying the brakes and causing a face plant could be considered a failure mode.
And as for
standards for SIL in this case are typically applied where failure will result in multiple millions of dollars of damage along with killing multiple people
I don't think you understand the scope of SIL. Even minor injuries can fall under SIL classifications if the frequency of occurrence is high enough.
Sounds like an attack vector for the Internet of Scooters as well.
These scooters seem to have a lot of enemies
It comes from being a "disruptor". Which is hipster speak for
I'm going to do what I want and I don't care what you think or how it affects you because you are not our target demographic, (even if doing so breaks laws)
who was stupid enough to decide to put the brake controls though computer/software???
There is nothing inherently wrong with using computer controlled brakes. This is done in all sorts of industrial automation.
However, with that said the Safety integrity level (SIL) is a well known specification used to asses failure levels and the consequence of said failures. And in order to meet the higher levels, you have to have all sorts of fancy analysis that predicts the likelihood of a failure, and provides mechanisms to mitigate that failure.
And I bet that these clowns haven't even considered such a thing and are producing a device that could potentially kill someone (EG sudden braking flipping the rider into the path of a moving vehicle).
As an example I am working on automated cranes used in places where people could be killed if a software/hardware failure occurs. In order to reach our required SIL level we require a safety computer that is physically separate (and runs independently) from the main computer and can shut down operations when it detects certain conditions.
Password managers are the best way to get people to use extremely long passwords and avoid password reuse since they no longer need to remember them (NIST advice).
Where do you think my password, the 5 security questions/answers and the special reset code that is generated when the account is created all ended up?
OTOH there is now a fight between convenience and security in using the master password to open up my password manager. So now I have all my eggs in one basket controlled by a single password.

Things where slower speed is acceptable whose route is mostly pre-planned, where companies are paying a man to drive rather than someone is driving themselves.
But people are working on autonomous trucks and also trying other things such as platoon driving. Also check out Self-Driving Trucks: Are Truck Drivers Out Of A Job?. However I think that these are being underreported because self driving cars are seen as "sexy" but a truck isn't.
I have a Nest Hello. If it gets stolen, Nest will replace it for free as long as I file a police report.
Sounds like a business model!
Yes officer, it sure is strange that I've had 3 doorbells stolen in the last week.
