  • Right now, most corporations are organized like monarchies or oligarchies where the guys on the top make the rules, and the rest just execute them. This would democratize corporate ownership. We spend at least half of our time awake at work. We should have a voice on how the companies we work for should operate.

    I’m a software developer, and in the big companies I worked for until today, there is a big disconnect between the decisions taken up high and us, the workers. I’ve seen so much talent be wasted because upper management only cares about short term profit. Or inhumane decisions like laying off an entire site a week before Christmas.




  • Making a movie by taking advantage of a tragedy in which thousands of people lost their homes and some even their lives is in poor taste. Many of these people are vulnerable and don’t have a safety net, they won’t be able to rebuild their lives after this.

    Remember how The Creator got backlash for using footage of the Beirut explosion?









  • I own a Yamaha PSR E403. This series is a lower end class of synthetizer/arranger keyboards targeted towards novice players. Mine also has an identical UI to the one presented here. I wonder if the hack would work on it as well, being a similar model.

    My better keyboard is a Yamaha CP88 which is a lot more modern and has updatable firmware. I poked a bit with the update package using binwalk and as far as I could tell it’s not encrypted, and runs some version of QNX. My hacking skills aren’t as good, but I wonder if that one has similar exploits.






  • This would only be in ambiguous situations when the confidence level of “pedestrian” and “cyclist” are close to each other. If there’s an object with 20% confidence level that it’s a pedestrian, it’s probably not. But we’re talking about the situation when you have to decide whether to yield or not, which isn’t really safety critical.

    The car should avoid any collisions with any object regardless of whether it’s a pedestrian, cyclist, cat, box, fallen tree or any other object, moving or not.
