The difference is, alcohol has a direct causal effect with violence: making people violent or causing them to act on their violent tendencies.

You may deem me off-topic, but I hate any page that has auto-play set, that too with volume! I visited your page in Firefox with NoScript and it was playing audio right away even without the video loading. Sorry, that's bad design!
The idea that prisoners have no access to alcohol (among other things) does not seem particularly reasonable to me.
In the '80s California, I had some nudist, hippie neighbors. And of course they did hydroponics (not just for pot), but did grow some vegetables including tomatoes in both horizontal vats and vertical trellises. I really think it's a lot more efficient because it uses less far less land than current methods.

(Btw: don't buy products which contain palm oil due to the prevalence of "green washed" intermediaries lying to downsteam suppliers, which in turn leads to persistent forest -clearing fires and land theft in places like Borneo and Indonesia to grow massive palm oil plantations to make cheap, Western consumer goods.)

Most people are happy, as far as I can tell. Clearly some are not, but if 50 million people were unhappy they'd be making a lot more noise....

The current law enforcement milieu is simply revenue generation for the state and a lottery ticket for an addition road tax on violators. It just doesn't work. Until we decide what laws we really want and that we are ok with 90% enforcement of those laws, it will be a dangerous joke. A lot of the current scheme of law enforcement is based on most people being law abiding citizens. When you look at the road now, that's clearly not the case.

Then don't start personal attacks to begin with.

We could focus on the women and you'd complain it's men who needs to change. Focus on the ways to change men and you're complaining we aren't focusing on the women.

I hereby put my hands up and give up caring about women I don't know being harassed. They can solve their own problems and me caring about it only gets me attacked personally, no matter what ideas I offer. Seems like the only behaviour you'd suggest is to have a negative outlook towards men and that not something I'd agree with. I have a pretty good guess a lot of harassment comes from a man not knowing how to deal with women, because it's something that happened to me. Instead of willing to consider this viewpoint you dismiss the idea completely and go after me and my logic. You have a strong track record and you don't need people like me to tell you what's happening.

It will be for the best.

I was civilly disobedient and had my trees cut and chipped. We are not a geriatric community, but there are a lot of elderly, so they cant do it on their own. More serious problem is that most people dont have the skills to fell an 80 foot tree on a 50 foot wide lot next to another 50 foot wide lot. There are a lot of vacant lots the are owned by nonresidents. And large chunks of Cambria are owned by the state and conservation groups. They arent doing anything yet.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks so much for the feedback! You're absolutely right that this kind of service requires a large amount of trust upfront. One of the ways I'm trying to do that is by being completely transparent about how the data is being used, what is being scanned, etc. I guess one downside of that is too much text. I'll definitely try to slim down the home page and move some of it to different pages a altogether.

Thanks again for the feedback!
That is great in areas where Uber/Lyft operate, but in rural areas, there is no public transportation, no taxis, etc. In these areas, a designated driver is really the only responsible option.

I'm well aware that ideas are a dime a dozen and that there is no realistic way that I could have brought that idea to life.

I wasn't trying to make a "I had that idea first! I could have made millions!" type of comment. My point was just how wild it is that it seemed to unrealistic at the time but now it's reality. I also thought it was an interesting coincidence that we happened to think of the same alkaloid that this project created.
On a lighter note: Looks like a great place for the Top Gear guys to build a new track if they were to do it in the US.
In my experience, people with fire in their eyes are the problem, because such people don't listen well, won't consider any other point of view besides their own, and so end up getting in the way. Super-ideological environmentalists have fire in their eyes too, but being passionate doesn't mean that they're necessarily right - as you yourself have observed.

There's a real problem here, which is often studied under the name 'public choice theory.' I appreciate that you feel frustrated by the web of sociopolitical constraints that you feel trapped in, as do I. But where I disagree with you is in thinking that the problem exists because people are not emotional enough.
This doesn't seem like an alternative to prison for more serious or recurring DUIs but rather an alternative to revoking driving privileges for first or second offenders.
> They never interfered or invaded a neighbour for 1000s of years

No, instead Iran has used proxies like Hezbollah to do their interfering. They use a cowardly approach because they know their actions are despicable, it provides deniability. They want something to occur, but they don't want to take responsibility for it, which tells you all you need to know about the actions in question.

And before you say: well but America has done x y z - that's already understood. We're talking about Iran. Iran doesn't get excused from its misdeeds because America has done something bad too.

Aside from the above hiccup, I come out ahead on cost if I go through my insurance rather than try to buy from India. There would also likely be some lag time involved that wouldn't have helped in that instance.
I agree 100%. I think lots of people realize it, but what can you do? Like you said, it's the best we can do now. In 50 years they'll probably think we were complete barbarians for how we medicate psychological disorders but right now the patients need to live the best lives they can live and brute force is all that we have to work with.

The real beauty of the 24:00 clock is that it never actually shows that; at most 23:59. Then it goes to 0:00.

The 12:00 clock would be more respectable if it went from 0:00 (midnight/a.m.) to 11:59 a.m. then to 0:00 (noon/p.m.) and to 11:59 p.m. and never showed 12:00. (Let alone continuously flash such a thing as a demand that the time be set.)
In both cases the mistake happened when two 16-bit integers were multiplied and the result was truncated when stored to a 16-bit number. This is the point at which the information was lost, and this is the point that with different tradeoffs (note: I am not advocating for these alternatives) would either result in a 32-bit number or a runtime overflow check, leading there to no longer be a bug. The same bug would exist with a fully generic function, or even without a function at all. Passing a number that has already been truncated to a function that could have accepted a wider number is not a bug: the bug already happened.

Almonds aren't that high-value. Agriculture in total accounts for 2% of the state's GDP. I'm guessing less than 5% of all ag in the state is almonds. The California economy is expanding at faster than 2% per year currently.

I'm pretty sure we could tell the almonds to take a hike and not even notice.
Not that I understand the heavy opposition we have seen to the deal (beyond the normal partisan politics), but the explanation that the GOP is trying to appease Israel seems lacking. Specifically, that begs the question of why Israel (or rather, Netenyahu et al) oppose the deal. I find it difficult to believe that they would be willingly to obstruct the path to keeping Iran from a bomb just to satisfy their own internal politics, so presumably there is something else to the disagreement.
I have seen that scenario play out lots of times, and it never ended in a fist fight (maybe because the initial offender could just keep the door locked?).
Interesting article and I won't dispute the fact that blood-letting was practiced fervently in the past. I'd like to see a few serious double-blind studies before I'll jump on the bandwagon.
Interesting; I implemented exactly the same thing in the TXR language. I can read an arbitrary file in /bin/ as UTF-8 to a string, and when that string is converted to UTF-8, it reproduces that file exactly. All invalid bytes go to DCXX, including the null character. The code U+DC00 is called "pnul" (pseudo-null) and can even be written like #\pnul in the language as a character constant. Thanks to pnul, you can easily manipulate data that contains nulls, like /proc/<pid>/environ, or null-delimited strings from GNU "xargs -0". The underlying C strings are nicely null-terminated with the real U+0000 NUL, and everything is cool.
> Also don't mistake my position for saying that quality isn't important. Rather, just that perfection is not a reasonable constraint.

At some point, for some component or set of components, perfection is your only choice, regardless of the rest of your design. At least when you consider a single node with a single point of failure; this is less true for a distributed system where you have redundancy.

At some point, you have to assume that either init is perfect, or that the code in the kernel to detect init failures is perfect, or that the watchdog monitoring the kernel is perfect, or whatever other layering you choose to put in place is perfect.

In a system with a finite number of components, there is always going to be a point at which you just say "this bit is going to have to be correct, and there's no other way around it".

This is exactly what they did?
That's true all too often. Meanwhile, though, I prefer long and expressive names. You can easily find functions like getNumberOfEnemiesOnSamePlatform() in my C and C++ code. I don't think it's very hard to understand what that function does. With a few special exceptions, I haven't written any comments for almost two years and nobody ever complained.

It's actually way more complicated than that: farm grower agribusinesses aim to minimize costs of competing tensions between locating input supplies, growing, processing, transportation and distribution. The reality is government should move to align business interests to ecological productivity and sustainability to compel corporations to get with the program. It would take a Bernie Sanders 2016 to get that going in the US, because the corporations have too much power and don't like change (change = risk, obstinacy = power).
One of the things I'm trying to do with CloudSploit is improve security for AWS users overall, without locking out users who can't afford expensive plans. For that reason, I've made CloudSploit free to use, and even open source so that anyone can download and run it. My hope is that by engaging the community, they will contribute back, making the service better for everyone. I've actually had a number of users email me and submit pull requests for updates or new scan types.

Now "being open source and low cost" isn't really a direct competitive advantage or a feature. To be completely transparent, CloudSploit is something I just started a few weeks ago, so CloudCheckr is most likely more feature complete at the moment. However, I'm trying to add more features ASAP that will focus on training users to use AWS security features correctly, receive alerts when specific conditions are triggered, and really dive into each resource within the account.
I think nuclear weapons have made us a bit jaded about quantities of TNT, with talk of kilotons and megatons. But a ton of TNT is still a LOT of explosive. A single stick of TNT blows stuff up good.

I said less than 50 employees. This is also in a place where cost of living is low and employee turnover is high. To say they make substantially less than $60k a year is accurate, but they still make enough to live on (unlike double that amount in SF). You're also assuming all 50 of those employees are salaried and/or full time. Not all of them are.

He's making a healthy profit. That has nothing to do with the stress. Some people just don't deal well with the risk and unknowns that come with owning a business. These are only two of many stories I know of people doing very odd things under the stress of business ownership. I'm sure people here can provide more.
Death in general speeds up evolution. Generally the shorter the lifespan, the higher the reproduction rate, and the faster the evolution. Evolution takes place almost exclusively through reproduction and death (anyone not dead can reproduce, anyone dead who hasn't reproduced is a genetic failure, reproducing passes on their genes/characteristics/instincts to the next group). With an extinction where many species die, organisms that were already highly reproductive have a greater chance of one of their offspring living. So the characteristics of a strong desire to reproduce are passed on to survivors. Survivors who haven't died likely have lower lifespans due to difficult times, which psycologically encourages organisms to procreate. This is observed in humans in almost every country. As lifespans go up, fertility goes down. There's no need to reproduce if you're not dying soon.

I like the UI/UX you proposed. Material design would obviously be their play.

That's why you make the decision to not get impaired in the first place, when deciding not to drink because there's no safe way to get home if you do.

I like your product, I think kevin would too since he mentioned a "product feature update" page was loved by wufoo customers.

Yet, in America, people say things like "do you have plans for the weekend?" Or, "What did you do last weekend?"

Nobody ever says, "Do you have plans for the upcoming two days which, respectively, constitute the end of this week and the start of the next one?"

So, Americans and Brits are inconsistent. They have "the weekend" which is a block of two days when salaried people with regular working hours don't work; and they have Sunday as not the week end, but rather the beginning; or the "front end" of the next week. Which means that the two days cannot be the weekend; they are two different ends of two different weeks.

> that's changing (by convention)

It's changing because people have to confront the above reasoning and realize that a week beginning in the middle of something that they have been calling "the weekend" for decades is silly.

There are significant numbers of people that regularly blood let, blood donors (about 6 times a year for those that keep at it).

They tend to have less heart attacks (but it isn't clear if that is due to the health screenings required to donate or if there is some impact from the blood letting).

If you're having hardware memory issues, your system is already in an undefined and unstable state.

If you send it a SIGTERM, it runs your shutdown scripts and reboots. If you send it a SIGKILL, your kernel will panic. As far as I remember, this isn't any different from init.

The OOM killer will _never_ take PID 1.

In runit all PID 1 has to do is run the service scanner. All that has to do is open directories and fork/exec the individual service managers. If it fails, it will try again in 1 second, forever. No complex logic needed. Just keep trying. In practice, it works surprisingly well.

If the individual service managers fail to run the startup script, it will try again in 1 second, forever. It works very will for most situations, but you _can_ customize this behavior easily. This simplicity is really helpful in an actual emergency because you don't get emergent behavior, like init deciding that your service is flapping and holding it down for 5 minutes.

Anecdotally, I've been using runit exclusively on all my systems (around 25 physical systems and 20-100 virtual ones depending) for at least 8 years now and I've never had a single issue.

The biggest problem I have with the design is that it puts your log services in a second level "behind" your main services, so you can sometimes miss that your log service failed to startup for some reason. This can be a real pain if your service uses blocking IO for it's stdout/stderr logging as it can cause the service to hang seemingly without explanation.
