That has always been it.
People calling for "meritocracy" almost never stop to discuss HOW merit will be measured. They use flawed measures that are convenient to them. That was Young's point in popularizing the team, to begin with.

Right, because social responsibility does not matter

Part of the issue is treating C and C++ as the same language (or basically the same). Writing memory-safe C++ is trivial with a modern compiler.

Daniel Penny sneaked up behind his victim and choked him to death for minutes while other passengers warned he was killing the man.

Penny's victim never saw him nor did he address him specifically. He did yell "he didn't care" and willing to go back to jail in a car Penny was riding in at the time.

We do have an appetite for socialism, but we as a country will pretty much lose our minds if the "wrong" group benefits. Here is MS investing 3bn to counter the effects of AI in India https://www.techradar.com/pro/... If this investment went to affected groups or communities on US soil, it would create an intense legal and social backlash.

I'm sure his lawyers are very frustrated with him. He has (and continues) to make WPEngine's entire case.
Just look at the judges order, it's filled with his social media comments. https://www.documentcloud.org/...
Then instead of simply complying (this is an injuction, WPE hasn't won anything), he taunts the judge who will be deciding his case. That's moronic to say the least.
Something is clearly going on with him.

I'd love to get some Slashdot coverage of Bluesky's opensource and data roots.
1. Bluesky is a public benefit company (they can legally prioritize keeping their data open over profits)
2. Bluesky is federated (can bridge with other federated systems)
3. Uses the open-source AT protocol

I'm much more excited about these things than the rest of the plafform

I'm surprised I haven't seen posts about Bluesky's opensource goals and roots. 1. Bluesky is a public benefit corporation which has the goal of keeping data open and portable in its charter. The company can defend against a hostile takeover just by showing the buyer would close access to data, etc. 2. Bluesky is federated and uses the AT protocol. https://atproto.com/ It can be bridged with other protocols

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

Fake it til you make it.
