How do you pay for a used car?

Amazon is surely aware of the aftermath of Google's accidental Wireless network war-driving.

While absence is hard to prove, an intentional or unintentional data collection beyond what is stated in their policies is highly unlikely.

Ears and teeth artifacts, if present.

If the head is rotated slightly, the faces, especially the cheeks are getting slightly distorted in the artificial images.

Couldn't they be a bit more specific? No software uses all of openssl, there is software that uses it for other things than server-side TLS.

Yes, it parallel parks perfectly reliable, in gaps that intuitively feel too small.

My 10 year old VW Touran can do it reliably, with only ultrasonic sensors.

Only the namespace is hard to scale horizontally because of rename; the rest of POSIX does not have inherent scalability issues. For the vast majority of applications, namespace scalability is not an issue (there are only few single applications that store billions of files/objects), so in most cases it's mostly a system management topic.

If you go full object storage semantics (no in-place updates, to appends, no rename, ..) you're pushing the problem to the application layer. Experience at Google was that that's not a good place to have it, because application developers are usually not good at solving distributed systems problems. This lesson learned is the part of the Bigtable (no transactions) to Megastore (application layer transactions on top of Bigtable) to Spanner (transactions built-in) journey.

So yes, of course there are inherent hard trade-offs, but dropping strong semantics from the storage layer by using an object store instead of a file system is usually not a good idea.

At Quobyte, we are working on the Data Center File System (DCFS), a highly scalable and fault-tolerant software storage system built around a parallel file system core. Customers use Quobyte DCFS for ML and HPC clusters in industry and academia, k8s and OpenStack infrastructures, streaming, web mail, post production, origin and CGI clusters, and as a scalable backend for SaaS products. There are Quobyte DCFS clusters which span thousands of machines and crunch 100s of GB/s!

Under the hood, DCFS is a full-stack storage system, written in Java and C++. The engineering work covers everything from kernel development over our own replicated database system design to distributed algorithms (Paxos!) and performance. In short: lots of real-world challenging and fun problems! We work as a highly efficient engineering team, and do mandatory code reviews, lots of unit and integration testing,

Open source is unlikely, because such a thing is expensive to develop and there is no business model to support that (commercially or as a story for VCs).

At Quobyte we're building a scalable fault-tolerant file system (POSIX, so it has a different architecture and constraints), but it's closed source.

Plus all data is stored in the same format (protobufs in recordio or sstables), so was very easy to access.

BMW went on record saying it was not an autonomous test vehicle.

They are actually presented as two drives, so in order to benefit you have to overlay a RAID 0 or some other form of striping.

OKRs are also a tool for communicating priorities and agendas in all directions of the hierarchy.

I think they work reasonably well for that. They're succinct and the key results force them to be grounded on some reality that people can relate to.

This point about Tesla has been made frequently in this discussion. I still wonder: how does Tesla store any meaningful video data in customer vehicles and transfer it?

I know that other vendors have a hard time putting the necessary fast storage in the trunk and get the data off with 100G cables in the garage.

The term you're looking for is "software rejuvenation".

Jokes aside, there is even a body of research papers around this subject, if you need some backing.

Interestingly the energy consumption from renewables is at 43%, ie. considerably lower than production. I guess the difference is accounted for by the exports at peak wind/sun at the expense of other sources. Probably french nuclear plants as some other poster here noted, ie. Germany takes the cream of the top and lets others provider the expensive base load or just burns dirty lignite and coal.

However, Volocopter seems to be further with their product development, while there are serious doubts if the Lilium concept works at all.

It might actually be too good to be true. The German magazine Aerokurier is citing experts that seem to have doubts about feasibility [1].

The category is called air taxis, other competitors are Volocopter and Archer, with different concepts.

Be aware that you are usually looking at prototypes, not available products.

Currently its mostly another set of startups to invest in. They might look attractive to VCs because they're ambitious, require lots of capital, and the technical feasability of a specific approach is complex enough to find merits in. The jury is still out if any of them are actually viable from a technology and economic perspective.

Lilium's approach specifically has been publicly critized by aviation experts to not be make sense when looking at the basic physics.

Does object pooling still make sense for direct ByteBuffers nowadays?

> ... and have the potential to transform urban transit.

Not in Germany. Biking is and will stay irrelevant for daily transport as long as the infrastructure is a joke. Electric propulsion isn't the missing link.

Interestingly you'll find holiday areas that have biking infrastructure packed with older people on e-bikes.

In my experience, US tax residency (as a solely German citizen) is enough for German and Swiss banks to cancel services. So dual citizenship likely won't help.

You may misrepresent your tax status towards the bank, but I'd assume that takes you on risky grounds, legally.

No, parent is correct. The Atomausstieg was initiated under Schroeder's chancellorship. See for example Wikipedia if you doubt it.

Generally, ducted propellers are more efficient.

And yes, these blades are effectively rotating knives. Even small drone motors and propellers are very dangerous as the motors have a lot of power and high RPM, and the more high-end ones are made of CFK and have sharp edges. As these four do not only lift a drone, but a whole robot frame, I'd assume they'd easily cut through a finger.

Actually getting a fishing permit in Germany is quite an undertaking. The theoretical exam is based on a catalog of several hundred questions.
