You got the point, we have an oversized brain size compared to our body, so we have to get birth early to pass through the birth canal.
If you take the brain size (compared to the body) as proxy for intelligence of course bigger brain imply early birth. Now, does a bigger brain mean more intelligence?
Just to play devil's advocate, gun sales are regulated in one way or another in many places. Permits, background checks, waiting periods. The pirate bay, in many ways, acts more like a gun runner than a gun manufacturer. They don't create the content, they just make it available and try to skirt regulation through a technicality or even direct non-compliance.
This is a delicate and complicated issue, to be sure. It's got a bit of a NIMBY flavor to it - at least, personally. Like many other Waze users below, I benefit greatly from the alternatives the app presents - and have been expert at quickly switching to the 'routes' view to see JUST how much time that detour is going to save me. With the heavily congested Bay Area freeways, our 35 minute drive can easily take well over an hour (the 'regular' way) and Waze consistently trims it down to under 50 minutes, door-to-door.

All of that said - if there was a sudden influx of 'through' traffic on my quiet, residential street, where my child plays - I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it. Of course, no matter WHAT route we're taking, every driver is expected to travel within the legal speed limit and remain fully aware of surroundings... right?? I know, I know.

There's no doubt that this is a technology that's here to stay - and I applaud enhancements like highlighting schools, hospitals or other "slow zones" (they could even become optional 'areas to avoid'). With more and more autonomy and connectivity being built into vehicles (which disturbs me due to security implications), I imagine it won't be long until this functionality gets (at least optionally) embedded in the vehicle.

Perhaps a self-drive car, aware of its surroundings, wouldn't hit the plastic "Slow - Children at Play" sign. :)
As others have noted, this is a thing some scammers do. It's probably tough to turn a profit after paying court fees, service costs, and trying to collect. And if anyone decides to give you a hard time (because you accidentally targeted a lawyer with too much free time, for example) then you could end up in a world of hurt.
Most, perhaps, but not this one. In comparison, yeah, Tmo sucks. But it covers me in urban areas, and is "good enough" outside urban areas (just voice and no LTE data? Whatever shall I do?). For areas where I have no coverage, I'm likely so deep in the woods that I'm going to be using the DeLorme InReach anyway 'cuz Verizon ain't got coverage, either.

Then again, with the cell phones I grew up on it was a miracle that they worked at all. So I don't get terribly upset when I don't have coverage on some forest road in the Cascade mountains. To me, Tmo is like owning an electric car. "But what about those drives to L. A. that one would think from talking to me I do every other week, but is really only twice a year?" Rent a car, keep the gas car you already own, whatever, there are mitigations. Absolutely, positively have to have coverage on every square inch of the planet? Rent a sat phone, buy an InReach or SPOT. Or go with Verizon and put up with higher prices and poor customer service every single day for functionality you'll use twice a year. It's just what one is willing to trade. I'll trade coverage for a company that doesn't piss me off every time I have to deal with them, as coverage is a minor consideration for me, and I'd rather do without a phone than deal with Verizon. For others, coverage is important enough to put up with other pain points.

OTOH, it does kind of suck that smack in the middle of Seattle's SODO area I don't have coverage in the building in which I work. OTOOH, Tmo has WiFi calling so it's not that big of a deal.

The "slippery slope" is not a logical fallacy, but calling it one is a great rhetorical measure to shut someone up if you don't like their argument.

Similarly, the argument you cite above, if properly applied, is valid. How about McCarthyism and such campaigns. You obviously have to protect our precious bodily fluids. It is as easy to frame this as a way to put Jake in the framing of one of the last remaining purity taboos, framed as an anonymous anarchist group. How can an anarchist advocate of anonymity object?

Except that an anarchist would contract to confront a problem with all aggrieved parties in the open, not like this witch hunt. So these people are not acting like anarchists, they are just ducking state mechanisms and summoning a mob.

This is what puts anarchy in ill repute with the general public. It's not what anarchy calls for in these cases. So I am trying to act like a responsible anarchist and picking up his advocacy. If someone from that crowd wants to pick up their advocacy and Jake actually authorizes representation outside a court (which he hasn't, btw) maybe we can have a moot.

Otherwise, this is a mob.

A fine point--and much better than the one I was responding to. I'll just say that extraterritoriality can be a difficult concept when the Internet is involved, for reasons that should be obvious to anyone here. (E.g., http://www.bna.com/court-refuses-to-dismiss-action-involving...)

And, in any event, their response to DMCA take down requests (http://beebulletin.com/hilarious-pirate-bay-legal-responses/) and efforts to evade U.S. jurisdiction (not that it helped them much given their serious legal problems at home in Sweden) is pretty good evidence of their intentions--though it is hardly the best evidence available. A business that was not intentionally facilitating piracy would probably just comply with the DMCA takedown notices and, as a bonus, not have to spend all its time hiding its servers.

I guess I had a too simplistic viewpoint on the matter, how a contract is ended between two private parties shouldn't involve the government unless some form of criminal activity has been done.

As for the compensation idea, I'm assuming you mean from employment, I would have to hope that's already covered by the income tax laws where there are guidelines in what determines compensation from employment and what is considered employment. Many people have tried many schemes around that one. Besides, even if someone tried something like that it's quite a bit different than a debt owed to the hospital because they performed surgery on you.

But from what I'm reading from the links provided the government doesn't get involved until the owner of the debt files the form to involve them. Which seems odd in of itself to me. It's almost like a punishment placed on the party owing the debt from the owner of the debt through the powers of the state; which is odd since the owner has decided to not collect.

But then again, I'm not familiar with laws governing debt so I'm sure there's some elaborate nuance I'm not understanding.

I've long heard that German is the most common ancestry for Americans, but I've always wondered how that was determined. I think they may be counting total immigrants, but not allowing for when the immigrants arrived.

I can readily believe that more immigrants arrived from Germany than from the British Isles, but it's also possible that by the time those German immigrants showed up they were outnumbered by the descendants of the earlier immigrants from the British Isles, perhaps even just immigrants from England itself.

I've never seen any sort of analysis like this, though.

They HAVE to have some kind of a rule like this or people would just not show up and then be immune lawsuits.

Not really. That's the easy way to do it, but the compromise would be that if the defendant doesn't show up, the plaintiff gets to present their evidence and argue their case, and the judge decides based on that.

Under these rules, in this case, if Zavodnik had shown up, and Costello hadn't, Zavodnik would present the zero evidence he had, and the judge should have thrown it out.
>It seems to me that the people who bash XMPP are people who never actually used it and they are just echoing myths from the last decade.

In the interest of productive discourse, I'm not going to react to the suggestion that I'm an ignoramus who just parrots ancient usenet posts. I'll merely mention it, because I want you to understand that this sort of response does not provide for a discussion of the technical merits of a communications protocol.

Yes, XMPP advocates are continually providing anecdata about how wonderful things have been lately. My problem is that I've been running XMPP/Jabber servers for over a decade, at several different institutions with wildly varying deployment needs... and not once has it ever been a good experience. The failure modes vary, it's true. Sometimes it has been a matter of sheer bandwidth consumption, such as communications over satellite uplink. Sometimes the problem has been interoperability across a federated network. Sometimes the problem has been with specific clients, both commercial and FOSS. But there have always been problems. There are other protocols and solutions that have been far less painful to run, but this is not a discussion about $protocol, it's a discussion about XMPP.

Honestly, I'd rather see XMPP win. The best-case deployment scenario for it is miles above the best-case for most other protocols. But every time someone brings up limitations, the drumbeat starts: "we're working on an XEP for that, implementation coming soon" "you're just rehashing complaints from five years ago" "this wouldn't be a problem if you'd stop using $server_one and switch to $server_two" "that client doesn't work with $server_two, change the client" ad infinitum.

For what it's worth, generating random values is slightly easier with the introduction of subscriptions in 0.17. If that's the version you tried, it would be nice to see why you think Elm is unnecessarily complex compared to Haskell (which is also pure) when it comes to generating random values.
The newer neighborhoods in Phoenix are designed on purpose to prevent this type of cut-through traffic. The northern Glendale area where my house is has luxuriously broad thoroughfares with three lanes in each direction, plus usually an extra right turn lane and left turn lane at intersections, plus a median that accommodates incidental left turns without interrupting traffic flow. From a driving point of view, these roads are virtually perfect.

But the minute you enter the neighborhoods, which tend to have walls between the houses and the main roads to keep down the noise, the roads become curly-cue winding paths with T-intersections and dead ends all over the place. The point is, you can easily get to your house, and you can easily get to various outlets to a major road or to the minor "partial cut-throughs" that are really only useful to the residents. But few will use the neighborhoods as cut-throughs.

I would suppose Waze is not of much value in this type of district, except maybe to warn you to reroute from one major road to the other.

Maybe the residents of these cut-through neighborhoods alluded to in the article should introduce more speed bumps and stop signs to "calm" the traffic and make their roads less desirable alternatives. In some cases, creating one-ways is also useful if it doesn't inconvenience the residents too much. Parking on the street, if legal, would also impede traffic, forcing people to cross lanes or wait.

It would also help to have the main thoroughfares be properly widened and maintained as in the Phoenix example, don't allow major road and sewage maintenance during rush hour, etc.

Regardless, Tesla's policy and technology stack are designed to protect the company, not the customer. Lets put it this way, do customers get this Tesla black-box data available to them if they get into a mundane car crash on a normal road? To prove that it was the other driver's fault?

Or does Tesla normally keep this data to itself?

Oh, I know. I made another comment in this thread about all the ways you could miss being served, even if the server follows all the laws.
I guess I can understand that feeling. Let's break it down though:

"you don't get to appropriate the road that I helped fund with tax money and that belongs to everyone"

When Waze sends me off into some neighborhood it's not usually someplace I'm familiar with, certainly not even the same town I pay taxes in i.e. I didn't help fund that road.

"If it's a public road and I drive legally and responsibly then there's no problem."

The thing is, people often don't drive responsibly except in their own neighborhood (and maybe not even then). I saw a sign once that said something along the lines "Please drive like your own kids play here." The people who take a short cut to save time are probably not the ones who are willing to go 20 miles an hour looking for kids on bikes, house cats in roads, etc.

My mothers parents were of German heritage. Neither spoke English before entering kindergarten. My grandfather was an engineer in Detroit working on the Liberty aircraft engine that powered the WWI bombers.

He rode the bus to work and it wasn't uncommon for women mostly to come up to him and physically attack him wondering why he wasn't in the armed forces.

I asked my grandmother once why she didn't teach either of her children to speak German. She told me that it was on purpose, they were ashamed and didn't want to make them targets.
