Thanks for your considered thoughts.
May be an unpopular opinion on here, but this and some others​ are an example of a Capitalist system with little oversight. There will always be people who abuse freedom. They need a powerful law enforcement oversight. Same goes for some tech Giants too. And hospitals. And gun industry. Etc.

I'm heavily invested into the Android community. This misses the mark on many fronts.

1 - The front camera breaks into the screen. People hate that.

2 - No headphone jack? It's DOA. Some people use bluetooth and don't care, but nobody uses that stupid USBC to 3.5mm.

3 - The battery is tiny for its screen size.

I've read a lot over the last few years about what consumers want. First of all, it's completely different and random. Some want removable batteries, some want a 4.5 inch size, some want dual front facing speaker, etc.

The things in common everyone wants(or more precisely, EVERYONE is not against), are a headphone jack, and good battery life.

This phone could have been amazing, but is already creating its own demise.
Just thought I'd point out that, in addition to name calling not being very nice in general, it's particularly in poor taste right now given that the person in question is grieving a family death that happened just this weekend[1]

My favorite part due to its candor:

WSJ: You seem to have thought about this a lot.

Mr. Systrom: It's because I do a lot of these interviews where people ask a lot of these questions.
That's the thing, the research and cost assesment itself would take days of work. So not many would care, and one might argue why /should/ you care to begin with. That's how it ends up being stalled at the idea stage.
If are really curious, I would be glad to explain on a call on how a customer finds us, how a sale happens and money is collected.

I think this is all your interpretation of how to analyze these entities. I mean, I could just as easily call German separable verbs "particle phrasal verbs", but they are still analyzed as a single lexical entity. I don't see how you can treat the English examples any differently, given that they are basically idiomatic combinations. And the defining point of an idiomatic expression is that it must be analyzed as a singular entity with its own distinct meaning.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here on HN but if you haven't read Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal", I highly recommend it.
So I agree there are substantial harms from alcohol, but the context of alcohol sales is still different. It occurs in a regulated market with oversight, safety standards, etc. Now perhaps the market for, say, heroin should be legal and regulated, in order to reduce social harm, but it currently isn't.

That means by facilitating the distribution of a drug, you are propping up an illegal industry, perhaps run by organized crime and so on.

I don't disagree that there is an element of regulatory / governmental failure here, but to suggest that these activities are equivalent strikes me as a stretch.
It's worth noting the article was written in response to this lament https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/5/24/15681560/g... about cancelling a federal report on the topic.
Also I wonder how many of those people rely on painkillers because they can not afford the better treatment alternatives.
"The defendant clearly endorsed the unseemly content and made it his own," a statement from the court said.

This seems facially absurd given how likes/ retweets/ whatever are often used to communicate acknowledgement rather than approval in social media, but then it's also true that people systematically promote content by these methods as well. This is shallow reporting that doesn't give much context for the case; I inf it hard to believe that any court in a country with a well-developed legal system would come to a decision and levy a relatively large fine based only on the bare facts in the article.
they also have about 3B in credit available to them
They don't have to. In federal law (and in several states), you're guilty of attempt if prosecutors can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you had the intent to commit a crime, and took some substantial step towards it.

They've more than cleared that bar here.
You are wrong

"I shudder to think what procedures would be launched if a similar Trump tweet were left out there for hours."

Yep, because the Russians would totally start a nuclear war based on a tweet. Totally.

Totally.

Define "use." What is it that I do not have a right to do? Look at other peoples' phone screens? I didn't agree to the iOS EULA. Can I listen to the music coming out of my partner's laptop? I didn't agree to any music app EULA.

>But I don't see anything blatantly illegal about an agreement that says, "you must adhere to these terms to use this software".

That is not an agreement. I often cannot agree to those terms, because I do not know what they are. And I will use the software regardless, because "use" means nothing specific unless we have an agreement on what that means as well.

EULAs are "agreements" that do not require agreement, that often bind someone to do something they cannot reasonably do.
A newborn baby is also an unskilled, uneducated individual that wouldn't be able to speak the local language without months/years of language learning. Presumably there is a net benefit in this case.

I think there is a net good to some unskilled immigration - say 1% of the population each year. But I'm willing to be proven wrong. Is there some objective measure we can agree on which approximates 'net benefit'? For example, if total tax paid by these migrants over their lifetime is more than total welfare payments, would that indicate a net benefit?

MANNEKEN PIS URINATING MILK FOR AFRICA IS Not THE RIGHT WAY
I live in Scandinavia and love McDonalds, but it's pretty expensive so I don't eat it so often and healthy food is much cheaper. In the U.S. it seems to be opposite, McDonalds and fastfood in general is cheap, while healthy food is expensive.
No, the opposite is true. As the appeals decision points out multiple times, Ulbricht was startlingly casual both about hte decision to order people killed and in his reaction to evidence that the killings had occurred. His ostensible hired assassin informed Ulbricht that he could have a target killed, but that he couldn't attmept to recover Ulbricht's funds unless he also paid for the assassination of several of the target's associates --- people Ulbricht had no ostensible connection to at all. Ulbricht essentially said "fuck it, whatever you think will help recover some of my funds" and paid for additional gratuitous killings.

Importantly: this case had apparently nothing at all to do with Force, who was involved in a different murder-for-hire scheme, one for which Ulbricht could still stand trial (but probably won't, since his life sentence is now overwhelmingly likely to stand).
This is a great resource. But the inconsistent spacing around math operators bothers me so!
NSQ does nothing like this out of the box. You could create a channel for each topic that accumulates messages, but those messages would not be distributed across the cluster and after consuming them once they would be effectively gone. If that feature is a hard requirement NSQ wouldn't fit your use case.

On a 14 inch monitor, 800x600 pixels gave about 72dpi, while 1024x768 gave a much less legible 90dpi. At the time, a point would equal a pixel. So the average user in 1995 had a 14 inch monitor and ran at 800x600.

However, I've never seen interlaced 800x600.

One of the big drivers in this has been the quadrupling in opioid prescriptions in the US since 1999.

https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/epidemic/

Opioid pain prescriptions used to be very limited and carefully monitored because of the perceived risk of addiction. The prevailing wisdom on this danger was changed because of some low quality papers on the risk that were pushed by drug companies.

Another big driver has been a more effective opioid selling due to some Mexican drug sellers. Interestingly, these sellers are much less violent than previous opioid sellers.

These reasons are outlined in the excellent book 'Dreamland'

Ancient Egyptians: Black or White?
Richard Florida's ‘The New Urban Crisis’ looks at where cities went wrong
It is already worse than the AIDS epidemic ever was in the US (although that too might come back). It's become a significant factor in declining life expectancies in the US among certain demographics.
I grew up in a country with dense urban centers, where most people rely on public transit to get around even if they do have a car, because of traffic. On top of that, when I was growing up, car was very much a luxury there - most families had none, and the lucky ones had one.

I live in US now, in an area that is the edge of suburban sprawl, and I can tell you this: owning a car is very liberating on an emotional level. You can go wherever you want, when you want it, without making plans around it or having to share your space with strangers. For the first couple of years, I would go driving entirely on a whim. On a few occasions, my weekends became spontaneous multi-day road trips. It was very enjoyable, and I still rather enjoy driving in general.

I wouldn't switch back.

Yes, I know, cars come with a lot of externalities. That's not my point, though. I just wanted to show that not everyone is in a "love/hate relationship" with cars. Some of us actually do find it all genuinely enjoyable to the point where any associated inconveniences are minor, while the benefits are major. So when your solution involves taking those benefits away, don't be surprised if you get pushback.

Most of all, if you go around telling people that they don't really derive any benefit from their cars, and if only they could surrender their preconceived notions and listen to the voice of reason, it would be better for them in all or most respects - don't be surprised if your argument is dismissed out of hand.

It may well be that we need to give up cars for some important reason. But you'll have to convince me that the reason is important enough on its own merits - not because I don't have anything to lose. I know better.
Creole is a scientific term, not a casual one. Creoles evolve from pidgins. English was never a pidgin, and it has a very clear history. No useful interpretation of the word "creole", formally defined or not, is broad enough to actually consider English to be a creole, and no good linguist will call it one. Whoever or whatever taught you that it can be considered one, it's wrong. The people who take the Middle English creole hypothesis seriously are crackpots.
Clearly Allen and his team did the necessary engineering work, but I'm not sure the GlobalFlyer is a good example. It had a single mid-mounted engine, and had a gross, fully loaded weight of 22,000lbs. This thing has 70,000+ lbs of engines alone. The torque has to be absolutely colossal.

Again, I know that much smarter people did the math, but from the eye check this does not look like a tenable design.
Bleecker Street’s Swerve from Luxe Shops to Vacant Stores
Well, I'm from one of the least educated states. And I can see the drug users around me every trip I take. I've never been harassed or robbed, but it's still sad to see. But the new idea of needle exchanges and heroin prescriptions are sickening. The governmnent should not be conducive to this behavior. We, as Americans, should demand better. And as long as those who make decent money, like me, or those unaffected, like most of the west coast, project their ideas without experience at this problem, the worse it will get.
Sure, I get that.

Scaled Composites built it. It should work. Although Rutan has retired, the company goes on. It's interesting that they didn't connect the tails, like the old Lockheed P-38, but there's probably some good reason for that.

Launching a Pegasus XL has to be just a demo. That's normally launched by dropping it from an old Lockheed L-1011; it doesn't need this monster. They need something bigger to launch. There was a contract with Pegasus for a "Pegasus II", but that didn't work out. The "Dream Chaser" mini-shuttle is a possibility, if that ever gets built.

The 747 engines are probably used. There are lots of retired 747s around, many at the Mojave boneyard. Great aircraft, but a fuel hog by current standards.

Here is the 1859 version of kids arguing over the right rhyme: https://books.google.com/books?id=T80XAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA254

Or, if that does n't suit, then take

'Eeny, meeny, mony mite;

Pesskalana, bona, strike;

Parago, walk.'"

"Pooh!" said Frank; "that aint right, nor anywhere near it. This is the way I learned that one:--

Eeny, meeny, mony, my;

Pistolanee, bony, sly;

Argy, dargy, walk.

The other boys all objected to this version of the saying, but Frank insisted that if it was not the right one, it was certainly the best.

The oldest versions google books records reached print in 1855: https://books.google.com/books?id=v4IkAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA120

"Eeny, meeny, moany, mite,

Butter, lather, boney, strike,

Hair, bit, frost neck,

Harrico, barrico, we, wo, wack."

and

"Eeny, meeny, tipty, te,

Teena, Dinah, Domine,

Hocca, proach, Domma, noach,

Hi, pon, tus."

By 1888 there was a whole book on the topic, and the modern (pre-tiger) version had taken hold: https://books.google.com/books?id=uH8MAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA46

Apparently the doggerel which is the favourite among American children to-day is the senseless jingle:

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo,

Catch a nigger by the toe!

If he hollers let him go!

Eeny, meeny, miny, mo.

- 355 M internet users in India second only to China in size. Digital initiatives focused by govt. India is leapfrogging in Mobile, Identity, Bandwidth and Payments.
I agree that trying to convince everyone to not drink and drive isn't likely to be successful, it's just that I thought from your comment that you were saying that you got drunk and had to deal with getting home. Sorry if I misunderstood.

That said, harsh — maybe, but @korzun still has a point.

Original comment is (clearly) biased and doesn't align with the actual facts. I wonder why it got upvoted in the first place.

I don't think the accusation has been made because "one happens to hold a different view". It is harsh, but to be fair, OP failed to make a valid point.
I think I've seen this movie before. This looks like it's headed down the path of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement [0].

Here's the playbook:

1) A.G.s and private lawyers start filing lawsuits.

2) Defendants realized there is potentially catastrophic liability here and start negotiating a master settlement agreement ("MSA") whereby the states agree not to sue in the future in exchange for a set payment schedule to the plaintiffs.[1]

3) States A.G.s realize this is a great publicity opportunity to leverage their career into other elected office and governors realize this a real revenue stream.

4) So, interests aligned and there is a settlement.

5) Lawyers make a TON of money on their fee schedule set forth in the MSA. So much so, the Tobacco MSA lawyers were securitizing their future fees in private markets.

6) Bankers swoop in and start pitching states on the securitization of MSA payments for states to cover current deficit shortfalls.

7) Bankers make a point or two on the securitization deal proceeds ($10s or $100s of millions).

8) States leverage their future payments under the MSA to fill budget gaps where ever possible. Some allocate a small portion of the proceeds to the victims of the malfeasance but many do not because there are better ways to get future votes.

</rant>

Full disclosure: I was once a young public finance analyst working 80-100 hour weeks building financial models to securitize Tobacco MSA payments...slight grudge still held.

[1] Tobacco stocks jumped on news of the settlement because a large known liability is much better than an unknown one.
