And... no you won't. You make decisions that weren't your's to make.
Haha they clearly screwed up with hundreds of thousands of people watching a blank page. On Bloomberg they are already streaming it and it just took off.
This company has a shite hiring process. Ask you to submit pull request on github with answers to a challenge (and you can publicly view other people's answers as it is a public repo).
The answers were straight forward and I didn't pass. And I could see my answers were the same as other people submitting. Very odd company.
Hah. You can lose people hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets and because it is magic internet money and not real money, you are coding instead of in jail.
Are you advocating for debtors prisons? If someone losses money you gave them, would you rather they were in prison, (living from your taxes) or working and repaying?
Also if the bankruptcy proceeds as planned, nobody will lose real money. (Btc sale so far covers all the fiat they owe and a bit more)
I did not read the comment as advocating for debtors prisons. My understanding is that those were (are) for individuals who cannot pay a debt. Instead, I assume the parent commentor meant something more along the lines of a Bernie Madoff.
The history of mtgox is not that simple and it is somewhat difficult to say who actually was the guilty one. Maybe there was lots of incomptenece involved but I'm pretty sure that also in a situation like that it might be so difficult even think straight.
MtGox was actually developed by Jed McCaleb, and Karpeles (MagicalTux) later bought the business from Jed. At the time of the sale the exchange already had tons of issues and apparently missing 80k BTC. It was perfect timing for Jed, who later started Ripple. For Karpeles the biggest mistake was buying the business. I would consider the latter mistakes only a minor mistakes. I would guess the codebase/security/etc was quite a horrible as well, can't really blame MagicalTux for not managing to save that business.

Yes, I've used them for the last year and their software is horrid and can barely be used to make phone calls without crashing frequently. Also, their support is quite crap.
That said, they pushed out an update about 3-4 months ago that improved stability a lot.
I keep seeing statements to this effect, and they are incorrect. The comparison is between Tesla cars with and without the AutoPilot feature installed.
The statistic has nothing to do with people not driving a Tesla.
“...airbag deployment crashes in the subject Tesla vehicles before and after Autosteer installation. The data show that the Tesla vehicles crash rate dropped by almost 40 percent after Autosteer installation.”
The bigger problem is that their study seems to have revealed that while crashes went down, the severity of the crashes went up. People weren't dying in their Teslas before Autosteer, but now we're looking at 4 deaths and counting in the space of 2 years, all directly attributable to the use of Autopilot.
> People weren’t dying in their Tesla’s before Autosteer
This is false. Although Tesla fatalities tend to be a bit over the top like driving off cliffs, or stolen car escape gone wrong type of situations, there have certainly been non-Autopilot related fatalities in Teslas.
> but now we're looking at 4 deaths and counting in the space of 2 years
This is false. There have been 2 fatalities in Tesla’s which are known to have been operating with Autopilot at the time. There was also one fatality in China where the family claims autopilot was on at the time but Wikipedia states this was not confirmed.
> all directly attributable to the use of Autopilot.
I take issue with “directly attributable” simply based on NTSB (a neutral 3rd party if ever there was one) disagreeing with that. They found Autopilot was not at fault in the Florida crash. I think a neutral fact-finder would defer to the NTSB and rank your claim as false.
But finally, you disregard the obvious flaw in your logic, which is you can’t possibly know how many potentially fatal crashes or maimings have been avoided due to AutoPilot, except the one thing we do know is that airbags in Teslas are deploying 40% less with the feature than without.
It's not as bad as that. It looks their methods could take that into account, they just don't detail anything. I copied the analysis from the report into my original comment, so it's clearer what they did.
There's still no proper control, because people driving habits (and many other things) change with time and a before/after analysis has selection bias with time. Maybe they get used to the car as time goes on and crash less, for example. A nice way to get around this would be to look at people who didn't get autopilot and see how the autopilot reduction compares to the non-autopilot reduction (difference in differences). Only then can you start to say it may be due to autopilot, and it's still a fuzzy statement.
"99% of people survive and our software bug only drives a few people violently in to concrete barriers at seconds notice and decapitates them. It just so happens that your loved one is now dead but he shouldn't have used our product, as he knew it didn't work there. kthxbye"
I totally agree. I am a massive fan of Tesla but this response is absolutely atrocious and disrespectful.
They refuse to acknowledge a bug in THEIR software which drove his car in to a concrete barrier and pin all the blame on him. Even so far as to tease him and ask why he would even use their product in that area (which Tesla allows).
It must feel so so so sad to have your loved one die and then to read this heartless BS from tesla.
I added that after someone got snippy at me after I deleted their 'art'. This way expectations are clear about when I'll intercede with my admin powers.
