@Carnage But season 8 has been especially shit, like they didn't do anything in the two years they took off to write it, and just slapped a bunch of shit together at the last minute.
-
For me the show is a joke from season 6. I don't even remember what was in which season, but I know that it became boring and aimless in 5 and a complete self parody in 6.
Current disaster of a season is a fitting ending IMO.

@hungrier Like that thing with Bronn in Episode 4. Or the teleporting fleet and its rapid-fire sniper ballistas which somehow do more damage than a broadside from HMS Dreadnought.

It's $999 CAD for the basic model, which translates to $740 USD. The same model in the US costs $669.

That's obviously due to the climate-controlled-transport costs. Can't have the phones getting too cold.

development tier for stackoverflow.com contained a bug, which allowed an attacker to log in to our development tier as well as escalate their access on the production version of stackoverflow.com
Sounds a bit off. No place I've ever worked had a setup where you could escalate your production priviledges if you had access to dev.
Of course, stack overflow isn't running a particularly sensitive system, datawise.
I wonder how deeply he dug in, and if it was a skilled intruder do they have a setup where they can trust their audit logs? Considering you can modify production from test, it seems their systems are not properly separated.

Seems like Tesla wasn't able to fix the problem with trailers perpendicular to the driving direction.
Here's an excerpt from the article which clearly demonstrates that the problem still exists:

Sounds like the primary problem is that they're pushing everything through Machine Learning based AI; those sorts of systems can react very poorly to unexpected inputs. A layered system where some parts are more rules (e.g., with a rule saying “if there's a big fucking structure in the way and we're approaching it rapidly, hit the goddamn brakes!”) based might be more successful.

TFA:
In most road situations, there are vehicles to the front, back, and to the side, but a perpendicular vehicle is much less common.
Perpendicular vehicles are exceedingly common. The road is not a straight line into nothingness, professor, there are intersections, entrances/exits of residential/other areas, parked cars, incl. those on driveways... even roundabouts, at some point in time, have vehicles situated perpendicularly.

Only Tesla has 100 percent understanding of Autopilot’s logic and source code, and it guards those secrets closely.
I have my doubts Tesla have a 100% understanding.

So neither Tesla's cars can figure out how high a bridge is, or the drivers that truck under them?

I'm very glad I don't have to clock in or out (or even report my time anywhere).
I'd be fine with it.
It says you turned up at 9:48 and left at 16:55?
Yeah, didn't want to be late twice in the same day.(In reality we have flexibility over those things as long as we don't take the piss so I usually turn up somewhere between 9am and 10am and leave between 5pm and 6pm)

Same here, nobody cares how long you're in the office (or on VPN) long as they're seeing approximately 40 hours work of work per week.

@topspin said in In other news today...:
Eh. I'm required to fill in a time-sheet at the end of each month, but it's already telling me how much I've worked on each project in sum, for accounting reasons.
We had that for internal accounting reasons (CapEx vs OpEx), but we then got told to just fill it all in as CapEx regardless so we stopped filling it in instead and it was retired a few months later.

Like, in one place, HR actually said that their corporate requirement was that everybody recorded exactly 8h every day, using the exact same times
This sounds like exactly the sort of thing the ruling is trying to prevent.
But won't, as per most other EU rulings.

What's the rent in one of them?
In other news...
Fucking called it. Ignoring the Brexit bollox, I knew people were thinking of taxing these things. I do like the idea of tax reductions for a few hours voluntary work every week though.

@DogsB said in In other news today...:

I lifted that photo off a news article (via GIS) and it may be stock. A colleague lived in one for years.
As I understand, typically a block will have an external facade installed. Installed on a level foundation, it has all the required amenities: Bathroom, kitchen, power, water, sewage, high-speed internet.
Google turns up this site, which is a company which has such units available for sale or rent. That's just the units though - you have to provide a location to install it, and setting it up is no doubt extra.
-
@DogsB Having to use human cashiers will reduce the "generational divide"? This does not even begin to make sense.
Is it because young and old people tend to use different options, so we must shame the young people into rejecting their preferred choice so older people won't have to see others with slightly different behavior to their own?

Newcastle (well technically Gateshead - still River Tyne Quayside):
Prices are, apparently, somewhat (i.e. very) expensive, so I couldn't recommend visiting.

@PJH There's something akin to that just down the street from here. It's changed a bit since when the picture was taken.

I mean, not really? EOL will be on the 3rd bi-annual update after the original release, pretty typical for MS products these days. And 18 months is better than FF/Chrome.

I had most of my Uni lessons across the road from there (the John Dalton building). It was long enough ago that the BBC was still across the road though, so a long time before that place sprung up.

I agree 100% that consumers should be allowed, but not required, to read the terms of a contract. I do not know when the heinous custom started of making people say that they had actually read an agreement; prior to about 10 years ago, I was never pressured into signing that I had read something.
Requiring people to state that they have read an agreement that no-one reads is just common psychopaths pressuring respectable people into lying.

The draft states as long as consumers received “reasonable notice” and had “reasonable opportunity to review” it
which is literally what I had been saying in the first place,
