I don't know if your idea is original - but it hasn't (?) been implemented yet - so implement it, if know how!

Maybe make it a greasemonkey script - then hook into Wolfram Alpha and display from that. GeoIP might not be too big on an issue, either...

Ultimately, it's not about whether the idea is original, but how the idea is executed. Think about it - how many social networks were there before Facebook? It isn't like Facebook is original, or the first, or even the last! Similar with Google (do you really think there won't be something that takes over Google's position with search, or does it better, or different?).

Don't worry about originality! Just take your idea(s) - and try to execute them - worry about what you can control, instead of what others control.
For whatever it is worth the study you linked to does not support your statement: " I just don't think that it is wise to legalize one more substance that has known and proven irreversible long-lasting effects..."

From the study you linked:

"Questions surrounding the effects of chronic marijuana use on brain structure continue to increase. To date, however, findings remain inconclusive."

and

"Despite the observed age of onset effects, longitudinal studies are needed to determine causality of these effects."

Add to that this is one study that included only 110 people and was non-longitudinal. Do you have any other studies you can point to that have demonstrated' "known and proven irreversible long-lasting effects..." in chronic marijuana users? The linked study is helpful, but trying to prove something very controversial requires more evidence.
I love my Mac Pros, but have gone back to PCs because I can get better hardware/performance/memory/video etc than Mac Pros x2 for the price of the new jet engine Mac Pro.

I miss the cheese grater towers on the Mac Pros that were really quite nice and the ability to get in there. Back to building PCs now though and still love it, then just have an iMac to compile iOS apps.

Also, Apple is trying to obsolete all these Mac Pro towers as well by not allowing the next os to run on it, not wise. I had to sweat on the last release and just made the list of 4 year old machines that a hardware company is trying to obsolete through os software that adds little value.

Tim Cook really missed the boat with that whole "post-PC" stance for pro users. Apple is post PC apparently but the pro users just went where it wasn't post PC.

Did you read the part of his article where he's constantly fat fingering the wrong keys on the TouchBar? And never finding the ESC key?

The issue of the TouchBar is not that it exists. It's that it replaces a good, well functioning component by something much worse.
I had this realization years ago. Yet somehow, I was fine with it - my mentality was, "When I'm dead I'll be too busy being dead to care that I'm dead."

Then six or so months ago this realization struck me again. Every day since, I wrestle through the same exact thoughts that you posted.

I used the numbers that Google Search stuck in an infobox.

(According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 35,092 people died in traffic crashes in 2015 in the United States (latest figures available), including an estimated 10,265 people who were killed in drunk driving crashes involving a driver with an illegal BAC (.08 or greater). Among the people killed in these drunk driving crashes, 67% (6,865) were in crashes in which at least one driver in the crash had a BAC of .15 or higher.

From https://responsibility.org/get-the-facts/research/statistics...

So unless they are gravely misrepresenting the numbers, it's 29% of fatalities involving a driver with an illegal BAC.

(again not trying to argue, I'm sure there are fatalities involving alcohol that are not attributable to the impairment, just adding clarification about where my statement came from).

"Race" has 2 meanings.

1. Race as a social construct. It does exist in that capacity - as an extreme example Irish were not considered "white" in America (google for some "hilarious" images from "back in the day").

2. Race as a biological reality. This is a touchy subject for a variety of reasons. But that doesn't mean that well documented taxonomic differences between human races are "fake". They do exist and are more than "skin deep" - things like bone density, cranial capacity, maturation etc etc. Ask your dentist if he can tell by looking at someone's jaw x-ray whether it belongs to an east asian or sub-saharan african.

If you read the senate complaint, they were editing the ads to remove anything that looked suspicious or potentially illegal. I wouldn't necessarily attribute intent to conceal to that.

The problem is that you can't edit ANYTHING and still be protected by the CDA. And they clearly did it.

This tool looks amazing! Would you consider adding a flag for whether to terminate statements with a semicolon, or consider accepting a PR that added such an option? (My team is all-in on `standard`, so I'd love to be able to execute this in a way that would be an easy fixer for our linting rules.)
I simply fail to understand how anybody can accept such a argument. Individual freedom has truly been lost in large part of our society.

Going down that route would mean banning alcohol and sugar, but that is not done because it discriminates against to much of the population, but disriminenting against smaller groups is fine.

That's kind of like saying SCO never changed its name to Tarantella. Yes, yes they did; they sold off their Unix products and all the things that made SCO SCO to Caldera, which then changed its name to SCO. But SCO 2 is not the same as SCO 1 (now dba Tarantella).
I tried the headspace app for the free trial, and I liked it a lot, but I did not want to pay their price.

If I were to try your app, how does it compare to the others in terms of features and price?
Concrete platform + steel framing isn't unusual for commercial or multi-family residential buildings, but it's pretty much nonexistent for single-family housing. If you want a concrete/steel house, you're better off going with insulated concrete forms (ICF). In cold regions, many basements are already built with ICFs so finding a contractor to build an entire house that way shouldn't be too difficult.

Don't sell wood short though--contractors can build crappy wood houses, but they can build crappy concrete houses too, and a good wood framed house loses nothing to concrete, except maybe sound insulation and resistance to damage. In your region, as long as you make your house airtight (through taped sheathing, liquid or taped membrane, or airtight drywall) and keep at least 33% of the insulation value outside of the sheathing you should be good.

But the problem is, as you go further from the equator, you get less square miles per degree of latitude. So if we lose arable land around the equator, and gain it in Siberia, that's still a net loss of arable land.
What I like about my new MBP 15" with touch panel:

1. The size is almost the same as my 2011 mbp 13"

2. Retina screen

3. I actually like the touch bar.

4. No more magsafe! Finally I can get the damn thing to charge reliably!

5. No more annoying illuminated logo on the lid.

6. All usb-c is nice.

What I don't like about it:

1. The keyboard is terrible. The older ones are FAR nicer. The keys get stuck down randomly, then after a few days come unstuck, but even the very feel of the keys is pretty gross.

2. Trackpad isn't as nice as the one on the 2011 mbp. Drag and drop is flaky at best, especially in Finder. Press feedback is simulated, and doesn't feel as nice as an actual button.

3. Not much speed improvement. It's a big improvement for compiles since I went from 2 to 4 cores, but single core performance has hardly budged.

4. Stability is iffy. Many apps just crash when you suspend (including Sublime Text, VLC, Firefox. Even the Firefox crash reporter crashes). I also get system freezes (where everything freezes except the mouse).

So upgrading was nice because of the 4 cores, but I'd probably have been happier with a 2015 model.
I've been learning it an enjoying it so far. It's going a little slow for me due to my limited time to commit to it and being fairly different from OOP, but there are a ton of really powerful concepts and features in it.

Cultural changes rate are too infinitesimal compared to the time which is required for any genetic change to get a chance to form and propagate through a population to attain a stable presence (forming a distinct trait).

The probability that a certain cultural difference induced mutation could be formed (given that there is no flow of information from a phenotype back to genotype) is something incalculable.

What might work for a bacteria does not work for humans due to, you see, fundamental differences in the reproductive system and development.

There are a few main principles from genetics 101 to consider before making any attempts of "doing science".

1. all mutations are *random*
2. there is no backward flow of information
3. environment does not alter DNA. random mutations do
4. propagating of a mutation is an extremely rare event
5. it takes *many* generations.

To understand these principles think why we do not have much mutations of, say, hemoglobin or glucose pathway enzimes.

There is another fundamental principle: way to many hipsters in what they call "modern science".
Global warming (even if it were to happen again) is not the problem that it's made out to be. History has proven this several times, such as during HCO [1].

This isn't a Mac specific issue. Most of the efficiencies in battery life That have taken place in the last decade are all about CPUs and their components lowering their idle power consumption.

I have a circa 2014 MacBook Pro that I use as my daily driver. The battery life is great -- so long as I don't light up VMs, run OneDrive for Business or a few other misbehaving apps.

I'd challenge you to identify another laptop that's better without making other sacrifices. My old ThinkPad T series had great battery life, but you had to deal with the bulk and weight of a huge battery.

>"I'm finally proud to say the opposite: It does work for us, so why couldn't it work for them?"

Does the U.S know that it works yet? It's early days yet. Colorado and Washington the two states to first pass legislation legalizing marijuana did so only 4 years ago. Compare this to Amsterdam which did so almost 30 years ago.

I'm not making a statement for or against legalization, but rather that 30 years of a policy vs only 4 years to conclude that "its working" is maybe not enough to to know. The majority of the 28 states that legalized it did so much more recently than 4 years ago at that.
To me it seems like depression is a mindset issue.

After all if depression was caused by external factors only wouldn't all poor people, ugly people, disabled people be depressed? Didn't the majority of the world always live in poverty? How would we have come so far if most people were depressed?

So the question is how can you truly adopt a positive mindset once you got a negative one? Doesn't that feel like self-deception?

IME, it's hard to do anything when you're depressed. When I was seriously depressed, I couldn't write code :(

Its my favorite hobby, I love creating things, but I often couldn't bring myself to open the text editor or even open my laptop. When I did, I was constantly distracted.

Honestly, I still love to code but I'm yet to find the same gusto even still, when I'm markedly better but not feeling as secure as I was before.

I don't know how writers and other creatives can pull it off when they're depressed, I know I'm much better at it when I'm feeling stable.

Self-driving cars will be world changing when they become commonplace. That isn't going to happen as fast as the industry says it will.

Regulators have yet to get their paws on these things beyond licensing them for research purposes.

To me, this comes across equivalently to "If you're depressed, start being happy and productive". It ain't like there's an on/off switch in my brain labelled "start being a productive member of society".

I'm not sure if I'd call what I experience "depression" (a doubt that makes me suspect it might very well be actual depression, but I know better than to pull a Freud and try a self-diagnosis), but whatever it is, it boils down to a finite state machine where the only transitions are "feel worthless for being unproductive" and "be unproductive because you're worthless". There ain't any breaking out of that sort of loop, at least not easily.

The problem I had attempting to sell my old bitcoin last week was not where to buy it. It was where to sell it and come away with cash.

As a citizen of the US this appeared more or less impossible through any reputable means.

I'd say that's a show stopper to adoption. The most practicable thing for small amounts (a few K or less) still seems to be: buy a gift card at a service you actually use; or, shop Dell, Expedia, Tiger Direct, or New Egg.

To put blame where it is absolutely due: this is a direct result of aggressive intimidation by the federal government on institutions attempting to provide consumer banking services for bitcoin, or attempting to do business with startups and the like in the industry.
While this article isn't entirely, reality denying non-sense, in fact mostly the opposite. The researchers do themselves and their readers huge a huge disservice with notions like,

“These data suggest that the interplay between race and ethnicity as social constructs and genetic ancestry as a biological construct is more complex than we had realized,

Putting forth these notions makes study and understanding of genetics far more convoluted and difficult than it needs to be.

Race is ancestry, ancestry is race, plain and simple.

Race is ancestry, ancestry is relatedness. Ancestry is the factor of relatedness, relatedness is the factor of race. For example an Englishman has a relatedness factor to a Dane that is hundreds of times greater than than the relatedness factor the Englishman has to a Nigerian. An Englishman and a Dane are of the European race, a Nigerian is of the (sub-Saharan) African race.

You'd think this would be the simplest thing in the world to understand, but something about the modern world has caused otherwise for some people.

Races are simply large extended families that came about due to imposing natural barriers in the ancient world, deserts, oceans, mountain ranges.

"Social constructs" are claptrap that came about from nihilist "post-modernists," and "critical theory" lunatics and agitators seeking to attack and disrupt western society.

> I honestly think that people shouldn't be forced to sell their time to McDonald's for less than fair value because they are afraid of starvation, either.

Sure. But solving that involves a complete overhaul of the current capitalist system, and we're not going to get that for a long time. In the meantime, allowing people to survive within the capitalist system however they need to is a necessity.

> my fear of complete legitimization would be that people who need help from society will be refused that help if it seems that they could just get a job at the local brothel

I don't think that's ever likely to be the case. It certainly isn't the case in first-world countries where prostitution, and even brothels, are legal right now. Nobody has been turned away from receiving services and benefits in the UK or Nevada, for example, because they could be performing sex work, similarly as they're not forced into a number of other things (such as the military).

Apple Comments on Consumer Reports Faulty MacBook Pro Tests
> The general public no longer types domain names.

I partially disagree. My opinion is that the general public has learned to type the first letter/s of a site they've previously visited, into their browser url bar. The median Pinterest user on the Web is not going to Google to get to Pinterest.com, even if a small percentage of users do so. Typing those first letters into the browser has become radically more common for the typical user than using a search engine for sites they visit regularly. The majority of Web users have long since figured out that typing into the browser reveals sites from their history.
