Sure, this is a spin heavy subject which is why the term is related. People want to fix a major problem and IMO go overboard when the underlying problem needs no exaggeration.

Anyway, 1/4 is from someone with access to raw data who spent some time trying to get less biased numbers. So, wider error bars than NTSB estimates, but less biased assumptions.

Drunk driving is still a major issue, but there is a reason people are still spouting 20 year old data. When trying to make a point there is a tendency to cherry pick to the point of distortion.
No. The problem is the commit message, not yet the implementation. What will follow is what followed at all the other cases: ruby, python, php, rust, ...

They will replace SHA1 with siphash (already done in this branch), their open-addressing with chaining and primes with power of 2. So they will loose all the previous performance and security by the false security and performance claim of siphash.

siphash essentially says: we are DoS secure and we are fast. Both is provable wrong.

This is not how Apple works.

Apple decides what users want and builds that.

I feel like biological populations can be reduced down to one individual and up to all of humanity. You can attempt to make logical decisions about where to draw these lines in between, but you'll get overlapping populations at different levels given different traits. These epigenetic flags are not dissimilar to genetic traits in that no one, nor group of them unequivocally define an individual into a biological group except if that group is "organisms that express this trait". It definitely won't square cleanly with our social macro-constructions around "race".

I mean, sure, for a religious person touching base with God or exploring existential questions might be fruitful but for a non-believer, focusing on these large questions while being in a depression is not your way out of it, because those questions are too grand. A quite healthy person might end up in a depression dwelling on unsolvable mysteries for too long.

If you find yourself in a depression, your thoughts constantly searching for answers to questions about the universe and why we are here, try to do something more akin to what the person in TFA tell about: create. Your real problem is certainly not that you don't have those answers, it's something else.

Awesome info! Thanks!
Kidneys and retinas are actually an easier case, compared to prostitution. Transplants are difficult surgeries that require hospitals and specialized labor, so they are very easy to regulate.

Of course people should be able to sell their organs if they have permission of a doctor (who would get in trouble if they authorize a coercive transplant, just like euthanasia) and the recipient (who should be decided ahead of time to discourage organ hoarders and ensure compatibility)
Want to know how it's not a very good thing?

Backpage gives a marketplace to everyone. This is both negative and positive. It supports sex trafficking, but it also supports individuals who need sex work to survive, and provides them a small amount of security.

In the neighborhoods near mine in the upper east side of Baltimore, there are two particular regions for sex work: trans people and poor people in general.

It is obvious that trans people are a high risk population for violence, and so they often turn to online sites to help weed out potential bad actors. Without these sites they are forced to walk the streets more, where they will come into violence, either just by accident, or by individuals or gangs who control territory.

The poorer neighborhoods, and neighborhoods controlled by gangs, maintain a stranglehold on prostitution in their given territory. Online sites allow either motels or private homes to be used to avoid running afoul of restrictions by these gangs.

It is also safe to assume law enforcement will have more excuses to take advantage of sex workers now that they will be more visible & vulnerable. (If you find that suggestion offensive, my city is well known for corruption in both prisons and law enforcement)

There are organizations working to help protect sex workers in most major cities in America. Please feel free to reach out to them for detailed information on how these events affect sex workers and what you can do to help.
This is probably the worst advice about depression I have ever read. "Spend time thinking about how to fix your problems" is about the last thing someone with depression needs to be told.

Many(most?) people in real estate have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. This is an example.

Avoiding older homes because they are old isn't great advice. Avoiding homes that are falling apart is better advice (for most people, not all) but not all old homes are falling apart and not all newer homes are well built and will be falling apart in 10 years or sooner.

Most older homes (that are still standing) are well built, having been built to last, and some have been well maintained and upgraded over the years. The best quality houses I've ever lived in were over a century old. The worst quality house I've ever lived in was 40 years old and was the only "modern" house I've ever lived in and every single corner was cut building the thing.

Older homes often have some great architectural features that you can't find today, you aren't going to find a 20 year old home with an ornate hand carved mahogany staircase, for example. A lot of it comes down to personal preference and what you are used to.

The water never tastes funny.

My friends moved into a (rented) older, turn of the century, home that was poorly maintained and it's a garbage place to live. But it isn't like that's not obvious when you tour the place. My other friends bought a house built in the 1700s and it's the most well-built house I've ever seen. It has its quirks but its well-maintained and has most of the modern features you'd expect. It's also very well isolated.

Problem with newer homes, especially McMansions, is many are poor construction that aren't meant to last. They went up fast and cheap. This doesn't apply to all new construction, of course, but there was rush to build during the housing bubble. Corners were cut. Some houses were meant to look just good enough to sell, not to last a century.

Neighborhood is more important and theres not always a choice of a new home in many neighborhoods. For example, when we bought our house we had no choice but to buy old construction unless we wanted to change our neighborhood preference. Then we'd have to buy a McMansion on the outskirts of town away from everything except other McMansions. We'd be unable to walk anywhere, much further drive from work, much further drive to pretty much anywhere, and we'd have to buy double the amount of home than we'd prefer to buy.

If it's an established neighborhood you're going to get established homes!

But saying "avoid old homes" as generic advice to everyone is terrible advice. It's all tradeoffs and personal preference and also quality of the specific home. A well-built, well-maintained home is still a well-built, well-maintained home.
I like this idea of a gift-effort balance. Everyone requires a different mix to shine. But effort seems more important, as I see hard-working "average" people excel more often than lazy geniuses.
My assumption is that the extra risk would be taken into account and many, if not most, would decide that it is no longer worth it and choose to do something that is less lucrative in the short term but lead to better outcomes in the long term.

It's easy to describe the black civil rights movement as one that simply broke laws too. Lots of people in the black civil rights movement broke laws (many of those laws being unjust) and many people at the time dismissed them as rowdy criminals.

I think your perception is being colored by the fact that the black civil rights movement is perceived to have "won" (never mind that the economic equality they were fighting for still has not been achieved), while Aaron is perceived to have lost.

But I think Aaron was wise. I think "intellectual property" is economically harmful to society and is an instrument that the powerful use to abuse the masses.

You claim too that Aaron acted alone with no context, but that is false. There is a long history of people questioning intellectual property laws and he acted in solidarity with that movement. It so happens that this group of people do not physically organize and so you may believe there is no movement, but you'd be wrong.

Aaron's actions in my opinion come from a position of great wisdom about certain things in the world. I'm not even sure it could be called naivety that he didn't see the harassment coming, though truthfully I don't know much about his circumstances.

The NHTSA originally designated a 0-4 system for classifying Autonomous vehicles. Then the SAE (engineers love adding features) added Level 5. When the NHTSA adopted the SAE system, they reworded the description of Level 5 to what you've quoted. And seriously, it's a meaningless designation. To have a driverless car that perform as well as an expert human driver in all conditions will take decades, it may require something approximating sci-fi grade AGI to pull it off. There are situations when driving that require creativity and generalist knowledge that is completely outside the bounds of what AI can do.

There's no point in discussing L5 realistically, nobody is anywhere close to pulling it off.

I guess this really just confirms what I've suspected: the only way to get decent battery life out of a Mac is if you are literally using it for nothing but simple web browsing or watching a movie and doing nothing else.

Non-Apple apps are death for battery life. I think I'd be lucky to get two hours of productive development time on my laptops. 1.5 hours is probably closer to reality. I have two BatteryBox devices that add about 45 minutes to 1 hour each to runtime and it's impossible to get productive work done without them.

Perhaps Consumer Reports should try testing battery life by running other apps?
"The backlash against the new MacBook Pro is unseen in history for Apple."

Hyperbole? The had similar backlash when; they switched from 68K processors to PowerPC, licenced Mac OS to third parties, un-licenced Mac OS, Dropped OpenDoc, dropped ADB, dropped 30-pin, dropped the floppy drive, dropped the CD/DVD, dropped the headphone jack. Heck, they even got the same when they switched to Intel! It has been ever thus.

An important thing to consider is people cant act on abstractions. They need specifics that are easy to understand and act on. MLK's was to pass legislation banning discrimination. To this day, I still havent seen a plan of action when someone pushes Occupy.

In this case, they need pre-packaged solution ready to go to lawmakers second popular support shows up. Here's a subset of what r a alists might do in this topic:

1. All taxpayer-funded research goes into public domain. All existing copyrights for such research goes into public domain.

2. Since it matters to academics, the articles can be published in specific journals for visibility or prestige. However, they must provide online access to them for a flat, cheap rate applied monthly or annually. That's for unlimited articles.

3. Private research can be copywritte to generate revenue for authors. Might put a limit on what they can charge or for how long.

All that codified into a law called Taxpayers Get Their Research Act. Has a website, premade letters, and so on. Low friction. One or more celebrities reference it in the media promoting it. Make sure personas for major demographics justifying it from their viewpoints. Swarms of people start emailing or writting letters that might lead to some or all of it passing. Optionally rich people throwing cash at lobbyists for the same bill.

That is how realists go for open access. Personally, I do my part by digging up linkz to key, paywalled papers from Wayback machine or other odd sources. Then send it to people that might use it.

"in the street" is public. And the implication is, the technicians aren't just seeing things "in the course of business", but actively looking for them.
I completely disagree with you.

I believe you are describing solutions to problems that can make someone sad or frustrated, which is a fine thing. I'm all about being real about your life situation and doing something about it.

However, depression is a disease independent of external factors. I had it when I had arguably one of the coolest jobs in my life up until that point. I treated it with medication, got out of the slump, and applied techniques to stave it away.

Those techniques are what you called "short term solutions." I think of them as long-term preventative measures to stave off the chemical imbalance that can cause depression. Regular exercise keeps up your serotonin and endorphin levels, as well as helps you maintain a healthy body-image. Interacting with people, also increases serotonin and endorphin levels, and ensures you don't feel lonely. Engaging creatively keeps your brain active and, you guessed it, increases serotonin and endorphin levels, as well as distracts from the "why do I bother" feeling, aka, gives you a "reason."

One of the most important lessons I ever learned when I had a shit job. I kept thinking "if I just get a better job, then I'll be happy." Then I realized how much it would suck if my internal happiness depended totally upon externalities - who's to say a good job is the "best" job? If I adopt that mindset I'll always be chasing the carrot on the stick. The important thing is to do what is necessary to be happy no matter what, and then focus on the externalities (the "problems" you describe).
