It turned out that the error was a result of how the company introduced new alphanumeric branch codes. if('10B' in ('089' .. '100')) { print 'Ooops'; }
When in doubt, blame the programmers

In a case closely watched by much of the tech industry, an appellate court has ruled in favor of Microsoft, finding that the company does not have to turn over the contents of an Outlook.com user’s inbox to American investigators because that user’s data is held abroad, in Ireland.

Pro Tip for US Prosecutors: Judicial aid treaties where you work with your overseas peers to request data in their jurisdictions have been around for decades and really do work.

Quote: Why Tesla’s Cars and Autopilot Aren’t as Safe As Elon Musk Claims[^]
In the wake of Brown’s fatal crash, Tesla’s sensor supplier Mobileye clarified that its current technology is not designed to prevent a crash with laterally moving traffic like the turning semi truck Brown’s Model S struck. This week, Tesla revealed another Autopilot accident that saw a Model X swerve into wooden stakes going 55 mph in a canyon road.
Sure it's only a hardware failure?

From what I've understood is that Tesla Autopilot isn't a full fledged driver yet but designed to help during highway rides and a canyon road doesn't sound like a high way to me.
Should be named Tesla Copilot instead.

I work in sort of artifical vision (I actually use X-Ray but I briefly worked on stereoscopic vision) and to me is absolutely idiotical having a self guiding system relying so much on image recognition. I'd complement it and do a majority consensus with at least an infrared array and a sonic detector, if not a laser array.
I mean, it's not like Tesla cars are cheap so 1000$ more of equipment are totally worth the reduced risk of accident.

Telsa also uses either radar or lidar (pr possibly both) to supplement its camera system.

On the news item that I read it was specified that the problem arose because the vision system did not detect the white of the truck against the bright sky. So the systems look like they aren't working together, or ALL of them failed at once - quite dangerous.

That was the initial report. A few days later Tesla posted that the combination of visual and *dar returns resulted in the system thinking it was seeing an overhead roadsign. (Being on the far side of a hill could put them at the same line of sight as other vehicles.)

Thank you for the clarification then. It sounded strange in facts, AFAIK Teslas are pretty well engineered and I couldn't fathom such an oversight.

Conventional AI requires someone to think of and explicitly program every case. The list of potential cases is effectively infinite. Deep learning neural nets are mostly black boxes, WTE they'll do with untrained input in advance is largely unknowable. Training the latter with all the gazillions of very rare edge cases is why Tesla's have so much telemetry (any time the driver takes over for the computer is a potential new data point/scenario to be trained into the master network and pushed out as a software update) in their current semi-autonomous mode.

Yeah, I know that, that's the big reason we don't use them in my line of work (food and medicinal safety). It's better to have an imprecise but deterministic algorithm with known, insulable and maybe correctible flaws rather than a black box which can degenerate in whichever possible direction.

At Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2016, we announced the Microsoft and Open Source Partner Community, a Lithium-powered platform for you to easily collaborate with the vast and diverse ecosystem of partners who build and sell open source solutions on Microsoft Azure. Just in case you need another forum in your life
Open Source, and Azure. One of these things is not like the other.

Microsoft today announced a brand-new Alpha of Skype for Linux. The new app uses WebRTC, "which ensures we can continue to support our Linux users in the years to come." Now they can enjoy dropped calls and distorted speech as well
And of course, the reason is that Microsoft recognizes this as The.Year.of.Linux!
