I'm a French-german-dutch-viking-celt-englishman.

Absolutely right. Messages of the type they sent should never be on a public network whether they are encrypted or not.

This is one way that signal differs from WhatsApp e2e in groups. In WhatsApp the server replicates the message out to all clients. It can't read the message but it knows the recipient list. In Signal your phone sends the message several times, so only members of the group know who is in the group.

Fine, they've made a processor, but until I have an idea of how well tested and secure it is, I'm not running anything on it. I don't mean in a "Oh China, scary!" way but just because it's an unknown brand with no track record.

Making something that works most of the time is one thing. Making something bulletproof is another.

...and they're positioning this for servers.

Scammers never let a good global crisis get in their way.

  1. Rebadge a distro and say it's fromm the EU
  2. .....????
  3. Profit!

I hadn't realised the USB committee had found new jobs.

Not saying you're wrong (because I've always found it suspicious how Tesla always seems to report that autopilot is disengaged for fatal accidents) but there's probably some people asking themselves "how could it detect the wall to disengage itself?".

The image on the wall has a perspective baked into it so it will look right from a certain position. A distance from which the lines of the real road match perfectly with the lines of the road on the wall. As you get closer than this distance the illusion will start to break down. The object tracking software will say "There are things moving in ways I can't predict. Something is wrong here. I give up. Hand control to driver".

Autopilot disengaged.

(And it only noticed a fraction of a second before hitting it, yet Mark is very conscious of it. He's screaming. )

Sidenote: the same is true as you move further from the wall than the ideal distance. The illusion will break down in that way too. However, the effect is far more subtle when you're too far away. After all, the wall is just a tiny bit of your view when you're a long way away, but it's your whole view when you're just about to hit it.

He said he tapped the brakes on one of the earlier non-wall runs.

Whilst I agree on the wall, fog and rain are not extreme weather conditions. I'd rather he'd used a level of rain that was less intense. However, the fact is lidar still worked even though it was not clear it was going to.

For those that didn't see it....

Set it and forget it, eh?

Any distro you like, as long as you stop futzing with it.

Seriously... they're breaking because you change things. Linux machines stay up for years without issue. Stop breaking the install.
