Why would someone contribute to Ruby central now, when the org has been shown to be callous and incompetent stewards who are utterly incapable of showing even minimal respect to their community?
One week is a big part of the idiocy here. Anyone half busy with anything is going to miss miscellaneous bullshit from management like this, especially when management is prone to these "flights of fancy" with random tooling or the new hot thing.
I personally ignore or delay things all the time because of actual work I'm doing. If running some random AI tool is more important than "keep the company working," that's a really sick and fragile culture.
Self-driving car companies dont want a unfiied signalling platform or other "open for all" infrastructure updates. They want to own self-driving, to lock you into a subscription on their platform.
Literally the only open source self driving platform, from trillion to billion to million dollar companies is comma.ai, founded by Geohot. Thats it. Its actually very good, and I bet they would welcome these upgrades, but that would be a consortium of one underdog pushing for them.
Corporations generally follow a narrow somewhat predictable pattern towards some local maxima of their own value extraction. Since world is not zero sum, it produces value for others too.
Where politics (should) enter the picture is where we somehow can see a more global maxima (for all citizens) and try to drive towards it through some political, hopefully democratic means. (Laws, standards, education, investment, infra etc)
The police reached out to Tesla legal within days and asked if they needed a subpoena. The Tesla lawyer said no, but then directed the police to make their request in a specific way that hid relevant data from police and the victims. It took 5 years to get the data, and only then after a forensic engineer proved Tesla uploaded it by finding logs on the cars black box and after the court was leveling sanctions.
Should companies be intentionally misleading to law enforcement about what data they have on fatal accidents like Tesla?
I hadn’t listened to the below video in a while but I did again today and the above comment’s assumptions of fact perfectly illustrate the point of the video.
This comment takes as fact a claim made by the police, which might be wrong, either by error or purpose.
One thing is for certain though, the police’s initial investigation was criminal. That is to say it was to establish the fact of who was the driver, etc. It was totally separate from the civil litigation that later established Tesla to be at 30% fault for the wreck using computer records establishing that ADAS was engaged.
Leaving Tesla out of it, suppose there was some other automaker with some other problem. A cop comes to them and says “what do I need to ask you to establish the facts about an accident?” Since when do police just accept “oh, the potentially adversarial lawyer gave me advice on what they can tell me without getting a subpoena. Guess that’s all I can do?” That’s absurd.
Look into XCP-NG. Its an excellent implementation of xenserver with a vsphere style single pain of glass called xen-orchestra. Its all FOSS and buildable from source.
It comes "batteries included" with backups/vsan/etc for an insanely reasonable "per host" license cost for support.
An ideal side effect of over overbuilding solar 5x for winter is that you could then use that spare solar in the other 3 seasons to make green hydrogen, an energy intensive process, to power retrofitted gas plants. You could store and ship excess gas as well, creating an adhoc "green energy interconnect" with other nations.
IMO the best use for excess summer solar for winter use is directly storing heat in a heat energy storage system (HESS, a fancy word for a bunch of sand/rock wrapped in a meter or two of insulation). Dump in the heat through resistive heating, use the heat directly for heating in winter. Batteries are expensive, but thermal mass is literally dirt cheap and scales up expoentially well thanks to the cube-square law. Just store and use the heat directly!
Firing people is the number 1 way companies improve short term profits. Since our stock market is based on quarterly results, firing people is absolutely what the business will do. You can watch all the AI layoffs and "not hiring because of AI" in real time, right now.
I'm not sure why people get religious about this. The far more interesting approach is to try to use reason along side other current laws to determine the answer to two questions - what defines a human life, and when is it acceptable to take one? For example, trying to compare things like medical support for preterm babies to medical support of coma patients to investigate the logic behind viable fetuses vs various life support methods, etc.
I didn't say anything; I'm not the person you were replying to. But I will say that I suspect your arguments that God has the authority over a document people wrote is, again, unlikely to find an audience among those who don't think He exists.
Wildly unprofessional or just willful lying.
