Not to excuse humans' massive transformation of Earth, but life usually "finds a way." So it seems plausible evolution via natural selection may accelerate a few remaining species to bifurcate to take advantage of antropogenic climate change which wiped out would-be past competitors for resources. Given enough time, perhaps other technology-making and art-creating lifeform/s may eventually challenge or coexist with us. Perhaps a plot to a terrible, megabudget Hollywood scifi movie too.

"So ultimately, we learned that you can go for 9 months without sleeping before you die"

My "high score" is 3 days without sleeping. Think young, healthy, pretty physical, 1st year in university, while red alert 1 was hot. And I "kind of liked" red alert.

Outcome:

After that time, I layed on bed about noon, and woke up next day early afternoon. ~24+h later. Btw, I hadn't eaten the previous time. I managed to go to the uni restaurant with a friend, and there I semi collapsed, laying flat on 2 chairs, closed eyes, open mouth, slow breath. I was half a step from being rushed to the hospital, and one and a half steps from some serious life threatening situations. Didn't even have the energy to eat the food in front of me. What "saved" me, was that a concerned manager came, asked what's going on, and I asked for salted olive oils. He brought them in a hurry. I had barely enough energy to scrap the skin of the first one, and taste the juice. The first, took some time. And the second. After the third, I ate around 10 like there was no tomorrow. And then I had the energy to eat the food in front of me.

So, basically, IMHMO, no way you can survive 9 months without sleeping.

>>This is a big deal, because it shows a promising path to dramatically reduce the US prison population. Don't mind the drunk driving, think about all of the crimes out there, and all of the people who got a hammer dropped on them.

I hate to be that guy, but the US prison population is large because certain powerful interests want it to be large. This is unlikely to change anytime soon. And it definitely won't change as a result of a study about drunk driving.

That said, it's still an interesting study. Like many people, I've lost a friend in an accident involving a drunk driver, so the subject is important to me.

As the previous comment says, there's a requirement to eavesdrop on at least one successful authentication.

My guess is that they're then doing the brute-forcing "offline", not against the vehicle's system. If you know the algorithm and the keysize, and you can see one successful authentication, you could ship the work of workig out which key replicates the authentication you just saw off to AWS or custom hardware (I wonder how readily Bitcoin mining ASICs can be tweaked to attack embedded or IoT authentication?)

I'm not arguing against any points you made, but I would like to give a reminder that in human history it's a relatively recent luxury to be able to enjoy sleep like you are describing. It took a lot of 'progress' to get to do that! And still many people are not able to.
I always find it interesting how many people automatically agree drunk driving should be a crime. Drunk driving per se is victimless- only when life or property are injured is there a victim, and there are already crimes/legal remedies in place for those cases.

Consider the case where a drunk driver gets home safely while obeying all traffic laws. Or even the case where a drunk driver is swerving- she can already be pulled over under a reckless driving statute.

Honest question, because I can't find it in the copy on the USDS page, but have seen comments here about this:

Do you treat this as a job with a certain known tenure, or rather as a sabbatical? It seems like they want specific periods of work, but how does that fit with a regular job where you're vaguely working for a company indefinitely?

How does relocating to the DC-metro area fit in with that? Relocation is expensive and a hassle, after all.

Recently I opened an old app that hadn't released a new version for any modern iOS. (Apparently for apps like these, the entire UI stays mostly as it was in iOS 6 days: not updating anything except global elements like the keyboard and alert messages.)

And you know what? I realized just how much I missed iOS 6. Everything seemed upgraded over my "modern" iOS 8+ phone: the original iPhone style had clear fonts, well-separated elements, and a certain beauty to things like on/off switches and scrolling lists. Even the animations seemed somehow better.

On some level I see how newer design elements fix things but they are dull. On every modern OS. On every piece of hardware. And desktop web sites are following suit.

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't want apps with a single solid color, barely-inspired graphics and squint-please fonts. To me, iOS 6 is an upgrade that is practically worth paying for.

I'm not following you. Your examples are of the inherent risk in the activity or device - a person drinks coffee regularly, and then burns herself after drinking safely for years - this is just a risk of a hot drink, it could happen at any time. Having a sign on the item doesn't impact the risk for a regular user: the regular user knows the risks, and will ignore signs they see all the time.

Signs might protect a new user - 'this is a guillotine if you hit the button it will cut your hand off'. Is that the point your making?

True, anyone can argue anything, but sleep deprivation is pretty low on the pain scale once you have kids. You discover that the child will bring sleep deprivation to the parents for months on end. But, it isn't torture, because this is what you signed up to do. You volunteered to lose sleep.

On the other hand, once you have teenagers you discover that they would claim confiscating their iPhone for an entire weekend is torture.

I have argued this many times, but it usually gets heated on the internet where someone undoubtably knows someone who died from a drunk driver. That said I honestly believe the far and vast majority of drunk driving is victimless, and probably less dangerous than distracted driving.

Kudos for stating a taboo or at least unpopular opinion in a reasoned manner. I do think that drunk driving should be a crime, because on balance I expect making it so does more good than harm. There are certainly people who choose not to drive when intoxicated for no other reason than fear of being caught and punished. That said, I agree with aspects of your point: it should certainly be a greater crime to be swerving around the road while intoxicated than to simply blow slightly over the limit on a breathalyzer with no other symptoms, and while it could already be charged as multiple offenses, I'm not sure that that's often done in practice. Also, I tend to lean against "zero tolerance" laws, where any BAC whatsoever is a crime.

Heck, you could even argue that a particularly good driver and/or someone with a high alcohol tolerance may be safer even when impaired than some drivers are unimpaired; perhaps then the oldschool impairment tests - walk in a line, touch your nose, etc., are fairer than the theoretically more impartial breathalyzer. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but it seems like a reasonable argument at least.

This was only at the very early prototype stage, of course. By the time they shipped, the cameras could record to hard drives and Compact Flash cards using their wavelet-based raw codec. Later the cameras were upgradable with a module swap to use SSDs.

4K onto CF cards was a huge thing at the time - at this stage, a lot of people were still using HDCAM SR tape and only a few cameras recorded onto file based media, like the Panasonic HVX200 that recorded 720p to PCMCIA cards!
This has been know for a long time. The rate of evolution depends heavily on the number of open niches (one might argue that it depends _entirely_ on the number of open niches). Mass extinctions lead to the opening and reconfiguration of a vast number of niches into which existing species will rapidly radiate since a huge number of body plans that were not previously viable now have no competition.

BTW. Not everything needs to be a full sentence. And using the voice input on your phone, this can take voice input too.

For instance, "happy hour near mission" works as well as "Whats a good happy hour in the mission that has craft beer".

Or simply have a layer that does it transparently?
Metaprogramming in Ruby: Part 1
On the plans page the copy is pretty clear, except for "come with a 30 day trial, could be unset anytime" probably works to say "free trial" and "cancelled" at any time, to match common usage if that's what you mean.

The pricing looks good. And the value proposition for this type of thing is great -- who wants to train people to use their product when people already using it can train people new to it?

I guess the incentives work to be there for people participating answers about a product, so that those people actually care about providing answers. Your business isn't really to the businesses you sell Q&A forums to, it's actually to the people you entice to participate on these Q&A forums.

Here are some ideas :

-- A "your company name"-wide login so that a person can write answers on my product's forum, on someone else's products forum, and so one. And this person, and others, can see the reputation points they've accrued on the different Q&A forums where they participate. This makes it easier for people to be answerers across their areas of expertise and aggregates a view of their reputation ( collects the common wealth of their contributions ) across all the places they participate, incenting them more.

-- A way, and this is quite huge, for companies to actually PAY expert people who are contributing value on the Q&A forum you provide to that company, as a form of outsourcing technical support, through the mediation of your service. You can take a cut of their pay, and in effect, you step into the "two sided marketplace" or "sharing economy" space for product experts and technical support. These power answerers are providing value to people by answering their questions, providing value to companies for helping people use their products and getting paid by the companies you are providing Q&A forums for. This would really work. And you are providing value to incent people to be these power answerers, which is another contribution to me choosing to say that your business is really to those people.
You seem to be under the impression that this method abdicates judicial review? That's not the case, the metered punishment is delivered in pieces after the court order.

That is rather than send a person to jail upon conviction, a judge would put them on electronic probation, where each violation results into a small, immediate penalty. This will help in two way - prevent harsh sentences for simple missteps, and actual train people to follow the rules of the law by shortening feedback loop of the events.
What is that other dot that shows up in the sea to the east/southeast?
While I agree that all laws should be questioned your example here misses the point.

When intoxicated with alcohol your reaction times and concentration level are slowed. You may obey all road rules perfectly on your normal drive home when drunk, but one night something may be a bit different - a train crossing that isn't normally used, an inattentive driver who pulls out slightly two late, or a pedestrian who crosses a bit slower than most people - and you're now in an accident that would have been avoided had you been sober and had your normal reaction and reasoning skills.

It's not the stereotypical swerving red-light-running drunk driver that we target with drink-driving laws, as you've mentioned that's already covered by dangerous driving laws.

This. But taking it further, I will say that the only TRUE solution to drunk driving is the proliferation of self driving cars. It will make all of this nonsense a thing of the past.

I think Ruby is too small to be considered an industry-wide success. PHP is indeed extremely successful, and should be added to my small list of scripting languages (in fact, it has been far more successful than Python): BASIC, PHP, Python. However, those exceptions are still only for scripting languages (even if you count Ruby), and none of the languages mentioned by the comment I responded to -- except Groovy -- falls in that category.
