I don't think that student protests should be separated from the killing. Normally they should be supported. But right after the killing I think the most important goal should be reducing the probability of war. And besides, regime cha

by chris11 7y ago
I disagree. I haven't heard anyone in the US say Soleimani was a good person. The liberal viewpoint is that killing him was an act of war, and there's no interest in war with Iran. Other complaints include a general belief that th

Sure some safety features, like sending out a request for help when an accident occurs, might require tracking. But other systems like adaptive cruise control or active lane keep assist shouldn't require tracking. There needs to be a g

That's a decent amount of money, but it's not that much compared to the cost of an electric vehicle.

It seems like a good deal. Carleton is around 10k to 12k CA a year in fees. So let's say 40k total for the accelerated program. That leaves 120k for about 4500 hours, averaging out to about 27 an hour. Sure that's not competitive

Hm, awesome! That looks like it's almost exactly what I want. The one caveat is that this looks system wide, and I'm at a decently sized company. It would be easy for me to have admin access to a dashboard my team owns. But we don

Thanks a lot, I'll check that out. I did notice that there were some third party libraries that added functionality that I wanted, but it is nice to see a library from Grafana. I would really like first class support for templating on

This seems interesting, but would have liked to see dashboard and chart configs cleaned up. Grafana's json configs have the same issue. I have a dashboard for one project. The json is over 13k lines long. Less than 5% of that is unique

I think it also shows the importance of soft skills. There's been a couple times where I've had disagreements with my team leadership, or senior management. I could make statements about why I thought I had made reasonable decisio

I'm not a manager, or even a senior engineer. But I've also noticed personally that I'm comfortable judging an interviewee's answer to my open-ended questions. I really like concise answers that make it easy for me to di

True, I agree with that. You can still use stock TSS 2.0 instead of open pilot even with it set up in your car, and I tested out stock TSS 2.0 before I bought my eon. I'm familiar with how it works. My last car was more than 10 years o

I have an eon and love it for highway driving. It makes long trips relaxing. It's basically the combination of really good adaptive cruise control and active lane keep assist. And I feel it's safe within those limitations. Open Pi

I wouldn't say it's the result of bad heuristics. It's coming from not being able to fully trust your user and Goodhart's law. A small minority of your userbase might be extremely motivated to attack you, and giving them

Another reason is security. Telling the user explicit reasons for account deactivation could open you up to more sophisticated attacks. Of course this isn't a huge concern in most situations, and it can sometimes be less of a concern f

I'd compare CPUs using benchmarks. I don't think clock speed is as good as a measurement, especially between AMD and Intel.
