I'm finding it very difficult to dig up actual statistics on what percentage of accidents each year are caused by drunk drivers, most likely because I suspect the percentage is extremely low. The nearest I could find was a statistic that about 7% of all vehicle accidents involved an alcohol impaired operator (http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3403100014.html).

That said, why do you think impaired drivers are the biggest danger on the road? I firmly believe it is simply bad, irresponsible, untrained drivers caused by 1) the ease of obtaining a driver's license, 2) the lack of expense overall in owning and driving a car and 3) the very low standard of acceptable driving that's the most troublesome. It's going to be easy to throw a drunk in an autonomous vehicle and ship them home. It's going to be exponentially more difficult to provide access to autonomous vehicles to the general population.

As someone who does not follow the .NET landscape that closely can anyone explain why this is a big deal ? Java has been able to do 'javac Hello.java; java Hello' for as long as I can remember. If this was so important why are they getting around to it only now ?

Amazon has a peered connection at KNIX, although from most locations ingress traffic to the Seoul region is routed through AWS Tokyo first, so latency is probably going to be slightly worse than Tokyo unless accessed from within Korea.

Pricing seems very similar if not identical to the Tokyo region, which is not surprising since bandwidth is rather expensive in SK. Overall I feel this is built to satisfy SK's data privacy laws rather than commercial reasons.

The underlying logic is that capital would shift from bond to equity markets, and while that's perhaps a little oversimplified I think the point is still valid. A bond market crash would trigger a risk off move [1] in which safe haven assets such as gold, the dollar, and in fact government bonds would outperform while risk assets such as equities are generally sold.

OpenCollective – Collect money and disperse it transparently
I'm not the one you asked the question but yes, that's what they do and it is a really dumb decision. I'm German and for perfecting my passive(i.e. understanding while listening) English language skills, I really like to view movies in English _and with English subtitles_. But in Germany, Netflix only offers German subtitles when the audio is set to English. Anyone got a contact at Netflix whom to approach with this?

I imagine you were getting downvoted for using multiple question marks, and people not understanding you were just asking a question.

Typically one question mark indicates a question. Multiple question marks usually indicates that you're upset about something or asking a rhetorical question.

For example, most people distinguish a difference between sentences like:

"What are you doing?"

and

"What are you doing???"

The first indicates a question, the second indicates you are upset or that the person is doing something wrong.

The way you wrote your sentence makes it look like you could be making fun of the person you are responding to.
Wait, what?! For me Google Keep is just post-its with the checklist option and some reminder functionality. The location reminder is nice, but it's really not that much! To be sure, I myself don't need much more than that...but it's just weird to see it compared to Evernote, which I always thought was more fully featured.
That is the "only on Netflix" list. They offer way more. It differs a lot per country though, so they're not offering the lists per country publicly.

There are some websites that compile lists of what's available on Netflix in different countries, but they're not always correct.

>They are fighting for their families and friends.

The less charitable explanation is that they're fighting to keep their leg up on the less fortunate population. The gap between those with Internet access and without is absolutely enormous. If everyone has Internet access, this untaps incredible amount of people resources, which would drive down the demand for those who currently have Internet access. These "activists" have a lot to lose if the poor get allowed into the cool kids' treehouse.

Interesting approach. From their Github page (https://github.com/postspectacular/rnd.farm/blob/master/READ...):

We'd like to do a little experiment and see if a large (or even not so large)
group of people can collectively generate better quality random numbers than
an algorithm. Intuitively one would think and hope so [...]

It's not clear that individuals can reliably generate true random numbers when asked to do so (see answers at http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/3591/how-well-can-...), but this is asking whether a group of people can do better than that, and is capturing mouse and keyboard keyboard input. It'll be interesting to see how using a group compares to using a single individual's input.

Think about generics in any language, say Java Stack<String>. The type Stack is parametrized by the type String. What would you do in a language without generic types? To achieve the same effect, you'd need to create a custom StackString type, which itself is trivial. But then, you'd need StackInteger, StackBoolean, StackSomeoneElsesCustomType, etc.

Language with a type system but without generics have this above downside. Usually you'd just give up making a type for each of these, and simply use the Stack type.

Language without Idris-like dependent types suffer the same downside: instead of creating Stack<String, n>, you're forced to create Stack<String, One>, Stack<String, Two>, Stack<String, Three>, where One/Two/Three are unique types you created to conceptually represent a number. If you don't even have generics, you'd need to create StackStringOne, StackStringTwo, ...

Dependently typed languages encode numbers (among others) as unique types, to simplify. Imagine this:

put: Stack<String, Three> -> String -> Stack<String, Four>

This isn't too hard to imagine is it? No runtime checks needed. Once you get the output you can carry it around, along with its type, to places that accept Stack<String, Four>.

So, asking "how come you don't have to generate these checks at runtime?" is similar to a programmer who's never seen generics asking "how come you can parametrize? Don't you have to generate all the StackString and StackInteger, etc.". It just works. Hope that analogy was clear =).

Dependent types in general blur the line between values and types, as you've seen above. Think of the usual values you use, and imagine having a new type to represent each one. Dependent types let you do this in a sane and logical way.
It's really expensive when you approach it like this.

> Adams compares women to children and people with mental disabilities.

What was the point he was trying to make with the comparison? If he said "Like women, children and the mentally disabled have been oppressed by the patriarchy" it would mean something very different from what he did say, but your statement would still apply.

What I'm trying to say is that your first point, on its own, isn't sufficient to condemn him.

This is the issue I have with broad statements like "so-and-so compared X to Y" without specifying what the point of the comparison was. That's the point of a metaphor: to compare two otherwise unlike things in order to show how one has the trait the other also has. If I say a boxer has a glass jaw, I'm not saying his jaw is translucent, just that he is vulnerable to blows in a similar way that it would be if his jaw were made of glass.

This is important because I think people misinterpret metaphors on a regular basis.
Yes, although the subdomains still point to deviantart's servers. The difference here is that ad.example.com ends up pointing to the attacker's server.

Because LetsEncrypt needs a very specific response to be served from a specific endpoint, you need this kind of total control to validate a domain and get a certificate issued.

Same thing that happens on HN - the comment gets ruthlessly downvoted and on some sunbreddits even outright deleted by mods. Three things most commonly discouraged: "+1" / "this" posts, typical Reddit jokes, and image macros. Often the latter are redirected to separate subreddits; i.e. for many /r/Something you'll have a corresponding /r/SomethingMemes, where the fans of laughing at pictures can vent out.

Different subs maintain different seriousness "set points" - for instance, to compare the two I hang out the most on, /r/SpaceX is almost HN-level serious. Stupid and low-effort comments get deleted, and you may get banned along with them. OTOH, /r/KerbalSpaceProgram is half-serious, half-silly (just like the game). It will upvote a joke, especially if it's good, but offensive and low-effort stuff gets downvoted to hell and then some. The community there likes to get some laugh, but is otherwise super-serious and super-kind.

One of the interesting things about Reddit is how easy it is to create a new subreddit. It's just few clicks away, and anyone can do that. So one of the effective ways of getting rid of particular kinds of comments and submissions is to just tell people to create a new sub for it. Like the /r/SomethingMemes I mentioned. /r/SpaceX has /r/HighStakesSpaceX, because people there like to bet way too much. /r/KerbalSpaceProgram has /r/HerbalSpaceProgram, because one day a popular YouTube video has spawned an unstoppable torrent of "dank" memes.

(OTOH if a subreddit goes beyond hopeless, people who long for higher levels of discourse sometimes restart it as /r/Serious... or /r/True..., and iterate as needed.).

Meh, lets use some subset of an useful language (not BASIC) for education - if so, someone might actually use some programming (or be inspired to learn more) later in their lives.

I guess, despite many controversions, Python or Ruby are way to go (not really JS, as JS lacks of any syntax) - syntax is very easy in both languages, multiple different libraries exists and there are plenty of educational platforms.

There is a way to avoid this issue: Let's Encrypt should disallow subdomain registrations unless a TXT record is present for the parent domain. For example, if I wanted to get a certificate for bar.foo.example.com there would need to be a Let's Encrypt TXT record for foo.example.com.

Although it's not their responsibility, they can take steps to mitigate it.

The raw numbers of sign-ups and revenue are interesting as a broad health check, but they don't really provide enough context to give you meaningful feedback of what your chances of continued growth are like.

The stuff I'd be more interesting is data points like: Of the people who sign-up, how many of them are still active in a month? How many of the people who are active in a month become paid users? How many of the paid users are still paying after 6 months? How important is this product to the paid users? Do they regularly refer their friends? How many people would sign up for your premium membership at $10/month? $20/month?

If people are churning left and right, then I'd be less excited than if all the paying customers loved it, but it just hasn't been marketed broadly enough.
So what you are saying is that this article is worthless because it doesn't contain anecdotal opinions of the people who would be served?

Further back, there were plenty of abused wives who proclaimed they should not be allowed to divorce their husbands. Further back, there were plenty of slaves who proclaimed they should not be given freedom.

Now we have a class of highly exploited individuals and an organization that wants to give "internet" access to these individuals but only if their personal data can always be exploited over that highly manicured network. The government cannot shirk its duty to protect these individuals. They will need to monitor "Free Basics" for abuse. The service will not be free from the public perspective and their are better things the government could do for those people.

Hm, you're right. So — the point is not to claim the responsibility, but to make sure that everyone knows what political message is there behind the violence. Which is still not something that applies in LaGuardia case.
Consumers won't care, and they never will. Sometimes the market simply exploits a coordination problem, and you can not depend on customers to care there, because they're stuck in a trap and can't collectively express their opinion in a way that would matter on market.

Other times it exploits information asymmetry. Correct me if I'm wrong, but last time I checked, half of the good theoretical things about markets break down completely if you can't assume rational and perfectly informed customers. Well, in terms of products and services having anything to do with technology, you generally can't. General population is 100% clueless. Therefore markets following only their feedback may lead them to pretty suboptimal situations.

In my experience, many veteran taxi drivers simply take (sometimes longer or more congested) routes, just because they are used to them and think they are better. In some cases, I've noticed the difference of a fare as much as 30%. I always have a hard time explaining them that other route is shorter, because they know better (than me or GPS). For this reason, I now first call taxi firms that use GPS on all cars.

From the CDC

"In 2013, 10,076 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (31%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States."

"Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. These other drugs are often used in combination with alcohol."

http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/impai...

So with 31+% of deaths related to alcohol, I'd put that as the greatest threat. The problem with all accident stats is that one accident creates many stats. Say a drunk hits a tree. One person says it was "speed related", another blames a distraction, another the lack of devices to prevent the car leaving the road, another the driver not using a seat belt or airbag ... and we all know it begins with the drunk.

I eagerly wait for Google to allow drunks to use these cars. That "the car gets you home" scenario is what supporters champion when they talk of reducing accidents. But I doubt Google's lawyers will ever remove "do not drink and drive" from the car's manual.
This had a downvoter, but I'd like to point out that what I mean is that we don't know if this was a second "7% crash" - it could have been worse, we don't actually know. Because trading was halted at the 7% mark. So in this sense, we don't really know how bad the crash would have been. (Put another way, if the limit had been at 6.75%, then OP would have had to write "by the way this is the second 6.75% crash in less than one week".)
