The Halo site was built with a modified version of the Assan template available on WrapBootstrap.com - so Bootstrap, jQuery and the like. It's not perfect, but I strip out unnecessary plugins and combine most of the assets to minimize resource loading. Ideally most of the unused CSS and JS would be stripped out too to further reduce load times, but this becomes a lot more complicated and is usually not worth it for a variety of reasons.

The lawyer site was done with the Elevation theme from Templated.co. Less manipulation here, other than a few changes of tags for SEO purposes. No CSS framework (that I know of anyway), skel.js and jQuery.

How to Hack Wifi Password Easily – Cracking Wifi Passwords
I am wondering if this is the divide. I personally do not mind open spaces because I have headphones. I find that I can work anywhere so long as I have wifi, my laptop and a pair of headphones. But I have also been wearing headphones most of my life to drown out the noises of my environment (and sadly the sounds of domestic abuse growing up).

So I'm curious if people who hate open spaces had greater control of their environment growing up. I didn't and adapted. Maybe I'm reaching here, but curious of other's opinion on this take.
But aren't static site generators essentially agreeing with you? Obviously they are easier to scale up, too - manual find-n-replace across a site with hundreds of pages is a lot more risky than letting automation take care of the details.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't give two shits about swear words. They are the same as other words to me and have almost no negative connotation. I don't think twice about swearing at work, and neither do the other people my age (24) that I work with.

This also happens all the time, thus not weird. (or people don't talk ...)

US analog TV (all three classic networks) used to be synchronized to an atomic clock in NYC. This allowed switching from one source to another without frame tearing.

Separate from that, there was a scheme for sending time of day in the vertical retrace interval, to set clocks and VCRs. Few devices received that, although I once encountered a hotel TV with a built-in analog clock that did. (The clock was wrong; although it could set itself automatically, it had to be told manually which channel provided a time signal. That's probably why this feature never caught on. I was bored enough to figure out how to set the thing.)

US telephony used to be synchronized to an atomic clock in New Jersey. The TDMA multiplexing was kept in sync so that frames could be transferred synchronously without buffering. If the clock connection was lost, T1 to T3 lines would get slightly out of sync, and occasionally drop or add an 8-bit frame. This is unnoticeable in audio, but an error for modems.

But neither of these was a time count. It was just a square wave.
Many thanks for making this!

>my most memorable and important conversations have started off with someone telling me I was wrong

OT: I just had a conversation like this that was one of the most enjoyable conversations I or my partner had had in a long time. We sort of had an unspoken agreement where she was just going to challenge everything I said and force me to explain / defend all of my positions as we wandered all over various political and cultural topics. It was a blast!

We were at a party, and people kept checking in, like they were worried we were in a fight or something, which was kind of funny.
Nice project, I like my flat-file password manager though, KeePass. Also OSS, and agnostic to how to store/share the database (both an advantage and disadvantage).

> I didn't say it was impossible, just hard to achieve.

No, you said there was no one who can do it -- more specifially, you said that, as a result of the organizational structure of the US government, "there isn't really anyone who can tell even all the federal courts, much less the state ones, to all plug into a central electronic filing system."

In point of fact, there is someone who can tell the federal courts to do that, and while they can't actually tell the state courts to, they have a lever that they've been quite adept at using at the past that would likely get at least most state courts to comply were they to choose to.

Now, you can shift to arguing that the entity who could act has a historic lack of will in this area, but that's a very different argument than the absence of an entity with capacity to act.
How Not to Dry Up Your Equity Pool
Your road design, markings, and customs are completely different.

In the US, a "bike lane" is a completely separate lane that cars are not supposed to drive in. Unfortunately they're usually retrofitted onto a road, making all the other lanes narrower. This exacerbates the standard situation:

Most roads have a double yellow line down the middle, and drivers are taught to never cross this. The general width of the standard lane is around enough for a larger vehicle and a bike to stand side-by-side, but not enough for comfortable passing. The lowest US traffic speed (outside of neighborhoods) is usually 35 mph (56kph), with the basic non-highway speed being around 40-45 mph (64-72 kph).

Most drivers, especially outside cities, expect that they will always be able to pass a bike regardless of any oncoming traffic. Drivers usually pass bikes by moving over a little and continuing at speed - the "good" ones will put their left tires a foot or two over the double yellow line, or possibly slow down to 70% of their speed if oncoming traffic. If the cyclist is in a bike lane or shoulder, the expectation is that a car does not have to account for them at all, since it's the bike's responsibility to continue out of the car's lane.

In the US context, I agree with the "take the lane" advice wholeheartedly. It makes cars have to account for you, and leaves your clear-lane buffer to your right where you can rely on it (as opposed to thinking its on your left, and suddenly swerving left due to damage, debris, or door). A driver yelling at you because they had to slow down and plan to deliberately pass you is much better than that same driver passing a foot away at full speed. And if a driver does plow into you from behind, they would have done the same thing had you been a few feet more to the right (unless you are actually riding on the shoulder, which is the general approach in rural areas where speeds are even higher and longer distances mean people space out more).

It was actually difficult finding a representative picture, since there are so many distinct types of area in the US. As you go into more planned areas, the neighborhoods become nicer (meant for mixed use), but the arteries become even worse and using them is necessary to go anywhere.

Standard less-planned suburban area: http://i.gettysburgdaily.com/imgs/LongLane060809/LongLane060... (It even has a shiny sidewalk! I bet it abruptly ends up ahead where the road curves)

If you do that, it should be one of the first questions asked when the plugin first starts up and be absolutely transparent about what data is collected.

It's less about 'making a fuss' and more about 'providing additional data to adversaries.' Remember, the NSA piggybacked on Google Analytics tokens for years to track users.

Are you seriously suggesting that rather than have a few-foot safety margin to their right, a cyclist should simply ride entirely in that space because they don't "need" it most of the time?

What happens then when you do "need" it?

No, a democratic judgment represents the judgment of the majority. It is not "the correct answer" in any sense. It is merely "the way we have agreed to decide things".

Then why are people still using cars? My guess: public transportation is too slow (e.g. having to stop every couple blocks) and not granular enough (have to walk to stop, have to wait). Also it is often unpleasant, being crammed in with so many.

Regarding green tech, there a lot of different approaches where tech can contribute! Where tech = software or hardware.

Hardware heavy companies include places like SolarCity (solar power) and Tesla (battery company with a car side business :)). These tend to be more direct in their impact by actively replacing "dirty" technology.

More on the software / data side include places like PlanetLabs (satellite imagery with data) and Aclima (dense sensor networks) which tend to be more indirect by helping people make informed decisions.

Full disclaimer and shameless plug: I work at Aclima and we are totally hiring :) https://boards.greenhouse.io/aclima

What bothers me is, so many doctors and scientists saying "no" / "it doesn't happen", as opposed to "we don't know". They haven't observed it -- or, as often, been told/taught it by someone else. So, it doesn't happen -- it doesn't exist.

At this point, I feel outright lied to. I've made life decisions bases on such statements that proved to be patently false and not at all backed by real science.

And a lot more anecdote and "uninformed" practices of friends and others, that I initially avoided and regretted witnessing, based upon these "expert" opinions, has actually proven to be healthier and more productive.

> If "platforms [were not] legally bound by them" wouldn't that pose some serious difficulty for legitimate takedown injunctions?

The naming here is potentially misleading and contributes to the confusion. The "takedown injunctions" referred to are not orders by a court to an internet service to take down content (such injunctions can be issued in cases where the internet service is a party, and absolutely are binding.)

Instead, they are injunctions issued in cases where the creator of the content is the defendant (in theory, at least) and are directed at that creator to remove the content; they are then often used by those who initiated the lawsuit to support a request to the internet provider to take the content down.

If an internet service refuses to take down content that really violates some person's rights, a lawsuit against the internet service which generates an order directed against that service to remove the material is always an available means for a mandatory take down, that isn't in dispute.
Careful with that slippery slope! I curse profusely and I think referring to people as bitches is 100% unacceptable. I think there's room for respectful swearing. Swear about ideas, don't swear about people.
Where in the article is that quote? The one I see is slightly different (in important ways), and in addition to that ,the 37% unaccounted for in that statistic may be "no response" or something other than "I was forced into it because I lost my job and had to take a job that normally would have been done by a salaried employee".

There might be correlation between workplace stress and the amount of swearing. Health care coming out on top at 64 % closely followed by finance at 62 % suggests this pattern to me.

Solarcity's CEO says next product will reverse his company's fortunes
> Interesting. Here in NL we're taught to stay to the right hand side of the lane with about .5 meters of margin to the right relative to where the road surface ends.

Here in the US, we're taught to claim the lane. As I said earlier in the thread, I have tried both. The difference between the two is utterly unmistakable.

That said, you're right (again earlier in the thread) that I'm young and healthy and able to more or less keep up with city traffic. However, I did caveat my statement with the assertion that if you are causing a backup (due to traffic, no extra lane, or whatever), you should exercise courtesy and allow traffic to pass.

I'm not arguing at all that a cyclist going a leisurely 10mph on a two-lane, 45mph road should claim the lane and sit there oblivious to their surroundings. But even if they do, this cyclist is going to be (in my experience) far safer than if they were on the side of the road getting buzzed with a 35+mph difference between then and car traffic.
I know that in my environment swearing does have a tone to it, it isn't a taboo but it isn't something you throw in to every sentence either. It's useful to sound more aggressive/assertive/confident - but if you use it all the time it loses weight.
