I think the difference between autopilot and other safety innovations is that the failure state of autopilot is rather spectacular (maybe it's closest to seatbelts/airbags in this regard). When it works, it's great. When it

It's surprising that this isn't the standard right now. I'm certain the people at Tesla/Uber/Waymo have considered this - I'm curious why this approach isn't more common.

Mastodon can help you with the first part - you own the server and all the data on it. AFAIK there's no encryption of data at rest so you'd need to add that, but if you own the server it's less of a concern.

Totally agree. This is a problem I have in general with linux - you don't know what you don't know, and using man to find a command to do the thing you need is akin to using a dictionary to find a word to describe a definition

The thing is that Steam was a vastly different way of distributing software at the time and offered benefits that drew customers to it. Using Linux has few practical benefits for most people other than cost savings of not buying Windows.

I usually prefer apps too but it's only because apps have native controls that are first-class citizens in the UI - they don't float around and aren't as prone to being mis-clicked. Apps generally have better performance tha

Right? Maybe I'm not explaining very well. I feel like we're agreeing. Checking a bit and discarding at collection time is the easiest. You need to ensure data collection is aware of this setting, and anything that manipulates

I don't have any evidence whatsoever but I speculate that between the options of: 1. collecting data and hiding it during times it was paused 2. checking if data collection is paused during collection time and keeping it/throwing

Interesting insight. While self-driving cars should reduce the number of accidents, there are going to be some subset of people who are excellent drivers for which self-driving cars will increase their accident rates (for example, the kind

True enough, but how much revenue is FB bringing in on these platforms? These platforms all have alternatives and aren't exactly sticky. If FB turns the screws to increase ROI, customers are going to leave.

It seems like a harder problem than that as well - you might want some of the units in the back of the swarm to go the long way because they'd wait a long time at the choke. But maybe you don't want to do that - those units in t
