Since this turned into a personal finance thread, how about favorite ways to spend money?

Starbucks. Every morning. Latte and a danish/cookie/muffin. $7.00 * 30 days = $210.00

Eat lunch out. Every day. And not with a coupon or fast food, but a sit-down restaurant. Sandwich, fries, soda, tip - $12.00. Every weekday, that's $240.00

Vending machine snacks, my job doesn't offer free snacks. $2.50 for a Mt. Dew/chips when I get that craving at 3:30. Every weekday, that's $50.00

Spend more at the grocery store than you would eating out a restaurant. Throw food away, don't eat your leftovers, buy expensive meats, cheeses and fancy ingredients. $150/trip or $600/month

Now that we're past the daily items, let's go into the monthly expenses.

SUV instead of a small car. $600/month and another $250/month in insurance, $60/week in gas. $1100/month

Buy a new MacBook. Every year. You sell the old one but you're still spending another $700 on the new one and sales tax. Don't forget to buy a new case/decal for the new one.

Upgrade your phone. Every year. Buy new accessories for it, and get the mammoth dataplan. This can be $150/month.

Frivously spend $100/month on iTunes purchases. Songs you don't really like, movies you don't even end up watching, games you'll play once and never open again.

Drink heavily! What else are you going to do with $70/night? Inebriate yourself a few times a week.

Piss away $25/week on lottery tickets. Might as well try, right?

Impulse purchases under $500? Don't even worry about it. GoPro, new tablet, latest game console, high-end pots and pans for your house - just buy it!

In the last century The west has not only engaged in 1 but 2 global wars. Then topped that by holding the world hostage with nuclear annihilation. In addition to engaging in a variety of proxy wars in developing countries where they liked to install puppet dictators. All of this in the name of democracy.

And let's not even get started with the bullshit in the Middle East.

The west has no grounds to state they respect human rights when history clearly shows they do not.

Waste like this is basically a symptom of an inefficient logistics network and market conditions.

The fresh fruit you see at the grocery store all "made the cut" what didn't make the cut became canned tomatos, apple concentrate, frozen hash browns and other more processed fruits. Nobody cares if a canned tomato looks lumpy.

The problem is that the opportunities to redirect produce that doesn't pass QC are basically nonexistent after a pretty early part of the supply chain. Supply chain logistics are a mostly solved problem. This won't be fixed until the benefit outweighs the cost. The cost will most likely have to decrease for that to happen. A complicating factor is that produce optimized for one track (e.g. fresh apples) might perform more poorly if repurposed after failing QC (e.g applesauce) so in some situations it makes more sense to just discard stuff that doesn't pass QC late in the supply chain than to redirect it into role it's not optimized for.

If it was more profitable to redirect stuff that doesn't pass QC then people would do it. Many restaurants already dispose of food waste separately and give it to pig farms. Pig farmer reduces feed cost and the restaurant reduces disposal costs.

Yeah, this is my question exactly. I've dealt with MANY race conditions over the years and the idea that two different user requests could update the same user account password seems... unlikely at best. Not saying it's impossible, but more detail would have been appreciated.
Food:

It wasn't until recently that started to cook my own meals every day. I felt time was always time limited when I worked for a company so I would get takeout a lot. Especially in my time in Toronto due to the large amount of good places to eat at. Switching to eating predominantly stuff I make has saved a lot; next to rent food was my biggest monthly expense.

Phone plan:

In Canada carriers have different plans for each province, with the prairies getting the best deals. It's gotten so ridiculous that there's a "black market" where resellers sell SIM cards from other provinces and carriers trying to lock that down.

Anyway I lived in Manitoba and got a phone plan there where I'm paying half the cost for 3x the amount of data and features I would get in Ontario. The only downside is that most people calling me would get dinged long-distance since I'm using a Manibota number in Ontario, but Canada-wide calling plans are so common for mobiles now that I don't feel guilty about it.
Jupiter either doesn't have a solid surface, or it lies very deep inside (like 4/5ths of the way to the center). So there isn't any surface to see, just clouds.

Juno will be passing within 3,000 miles of the tops of Jupiter's clouds. Since Jupiter's radius is 43,000 miles, it will fill the entire frame. The only question is how high-quality the camera is.

The camera is for public relations only (no science) and I don't know the resolution. But this photo was taken from 2.7M miles, so you can expect the resolution to get roughly 9 thousand times better.

EDIT:

> Jupiter itself will only appear to be 75 pixels across from JunoCam when Juno reaches the furthest point of its orbit around the planet. At its closest approaches JunoCam could achieve 15 km/pixel resolution from 4300 km, while Hubble has taken images of up to 119 km/pixel from 600 million km....The camera uses a Kodak image sensor, the KODAK KAI-2020, capable of color imaging at 1600 x 1200 pixels. It has a field of view of 18 x 3.4 degrees with three filters to provide color imaging.

In this situation, small-to-normal passenger cars are actually much safer than typical American trucks and SUVs. When the legs are taken, the mass of the body strikes the roof of the lower vehicle and bounces over the top. The larger vehicles direct the body through the windshield into the passenger compartment.

I'm not sure about moose, but with more nimble animals, swerving is no guarantee of avoiding collision. A deer can change direction quicker than an automobile, and if it had any sense, it wouldn't be running across the road in the first place. It's definitely safer to slow down and honk your horn than it is to try to guess which direction the damn thing will jump.

[EDIT:] When I was learning to drive, my father often recounted the story of a hapless acquaintance who, in swerving to avoid a snake, had precipitated a loss of control that killed her infant child. He's not a big fan of swerving for animals.

Agreed, and more generally, how do you say attribute different artistic stylings as due to a drug vs. all other factors (e.g., expectations of the drug, mood, social setting, etc.). I would imagine this has been studied in perceptual psychology (or some related field) in a more controlled fashion.

Getting distracted by a sudden cry or a little child throwing an item is precisely what the feature was designed for. It was not designed for watching TV or cosntantly getting your hands of the wheel to do something else.

Also I find it interesting how much you assume about a person or situation from a single word.

Who said anything about a) baby on a front seat (which is not permitted anyways) and b) assisting a baby.

If you have ever driven with a baby or child in a car you will have learned that they can cry or make a tantrum. Assist systems are intended to supplement and assist the driver in situations of increased stress. The idea that one would actively take their hands off the wheel to do something with a child is so preposterous ghat only commenters on HN could seriously suggest that.
And does that remove the driver's responsibility?
I agree. In any discussion where you have a great deal of difference between positions, you have this problem. The more emotionally charged or wound up in groupthink a person is, the worse it gets because the very language that could be used to bridge the gap provides less useful traction. It's not about higher-level concepts, it's about basic building blocks of communication.

I didn't have much time for posting yesterday, so I was a bit too terse - but my intent in making the point that I did was to try to get the original poster to think about the very words that he was using.

Often when I join in on heated discussions, I find that people are talking past each other. They throw out words that mean something to them that I don't think mean the same thing to other participants in the conversation. I normally encourage participants to slow down and either pick different words or settle on a common definition for some words that are causing the confusion. It's amazing how quickly some disagreements can effectively evaporate, or at least get whittled down to essentials, when everyone is communicating more effectively.

I still say they best damn well rename the feature. The connotations of the work autopilot are too strong as to be misleading to what it can actually do.

when the technology matures then bring the name back, but until then call it something else.

I am still amused that most of these self driving implementations only drive when people are least likely to need the assistance, good visibility conditions. They are the opposite of current safety features which are designed to assist in bad driving conditions. I won't trust any self driving car until it can drive in horrible conditions safely.

At most these services should be there to correct bad driving habits, not instill new ones

IMHO, autopilot means "vehicle drives by itself without my involvement"...it's not autopilot if my hands have to be on the wheel. It seems that this technology is Cruise Control v2.

There were some hints in the article.

Forensic teams look at brands. Coca Cola labeling isn't identical across the world, and is very common, so leaving a bottle of coca cola in the room can provide a hint to location. (There was a programme on BBC Radio 4 that mentioned programmers getting together with police to develop machine-recognition of coca cola bottles. Sadly, the BBC search is hopelessly poor, so I'm unable to find the programme.)

There's other stuff, like wallpaper patterns and fabric patterns in windows.

There were open calls for murder of cops along with an image of an officer with slit throat. This is as blatant violence incitement online as it gets. It is against the law and posters should be charged.

Also, saying things like "all cops should die" and "we all should grab our pistols and start busting at 'em" are not criticisms of police.

2014 Model S got 5-star/82%[0] (where 100% is best) adult occupant protection on EuroNCAP. For comparison, the smaller, lighter, cheaper 2015 Honda Jazz got 5-star/93%[1]

Other cars are significantly better than this [2]. E.g. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia 5-star/98%, 2016 Toyota Prius 5-star/92%, 2015 Volvo XC90 5-star/97%, 2014 Porsche Macan 5-star/88%. I could go on, but the Model S is not the safest car ever tested - it has approximately the same level of crashworthiess as the 2014 Smart Fortwo (4-star/82%) [3] according to EuroNCAP when looking at adult occupant safety.

Cars have come a long way in the past decade or two though - its amazing to see "small" cars like the Jazz where they dont even get a cracked windscreen when basically driving into a wall at 40mph. For comparison check out the 2000 Citroen Saxo fold up like a tin can... http://www.euroncap.com/en/ratings-rewards/latest-safety-rat...

For the most part the shared auditive environment is polluted beyond believe. Loud 24x7 traffic, degenerates with tiny phone speakers blaring, no holds barred shouting across the street ...

For six months, the police provided strong incentive to actively commit new child abuse, because they were running a site that required active uploading.

Really, possession and distribution of these images should be legal. Then pedophiles wouldn't feel the need to hoard it. They could easily get it online. However, obviously, the acts in them should be completely illegal. With the current system, pedophiles hoard images, and on sites like this, they'll want new material.

Much like the war on drugs, I don't think second-order effects have been considered in policy. Sure, law makers and most sexually normal people are going to have a gut reaction of disgust to child pornography. This leads to a knee-jerk "ban it" reaction. I think the "reasoning" stops right there. For every additional concept it takes to solve a test problem, you lose 75-80% of students. Likewise, I feel like lawmakers and the public have at least a 75-80% loss rate considering the second and third order effects of their policies.
It's a completely different conversation. Cruise control maintains speed only. It still requires positive driver control.
