Agree - it's the typical sensationalist click-bait nonsense that passes for journalism these days.

Elon Musk gives lots of clicks, ergo SpaceX (or Tesla) are also lot of clicks, ergo try to link the story to SpaceX.

(Wouldn't it be great if there was some movement to track and rate the quality of individual journalists and their output?)

I agree with the sentiment that there is something you can do about it, but Sweden has a road fatality rate of 2.8/100'000/year.

I live in the UK where we have a road fatality rate of 2.9/100'000/year. On average 1 child dies and ~60 are seriously injured every week.

I don't know how much further this accident/death rate can be decreased - but I agree that we are down a rabbit hole - is it acceptable that this happens? Obviously not. But are the population going to agree to ban cars? No.
Two questions

1. If customers are scanning their own goods, doesn't that make it likely they will occasionally, for one reason or another, miss a scan? That's huge for Walmart's margins. $15 total expense per hour labor saved is not that huge a savings.

2. How does this work with items sold by weight? Have they installed new scales that can allow you to select the item weighed create a barcode for the price of that weight of that item?

Many common Mg supplements have rather poor bioavailability according to several studies and the dietary needs are quite high, high enough that most people are actually deficient in Mg according to research by the FDA.

Mg deficiency is suspected to have several rather significant effects. All the way from cognitive effects to heart disease and formation of kidney stones.

Cool, is there a way to use it to dynamically generate data (for streaming)? Would be nice to be able to just call something like .next() and get another record so a simulator can run for an indefinite period of time.
I think we'll also be remembered as the era that started figuring that out and solving it with science, though. It's not all hopeless; at least we're trying.
Most of the discussion here focuses on The Famous Document which I think is missing the point. TFD could be totally right, or totally wrong but the lawsuit is about wrongful termination and discrimination and has only remote relevance to the document.

Would be interesting to hear the opinion of the people with legal experience: what are the merits of the lawsuit?

My personal unqualified opinion is that they will settle out of court for wrongful termination. Since white males are not protected class, the discrimination case is much weaker.

It is much easier for Google to settle this lawsuit than to deal with hundreds of others they would get should they kept Damore on payroll.

I think regardless of the merits of TFD this lawsuit is a good thing because companies would be less inclined to punish people for objecting groupthink.
Very true, I think the point still stands though that the best thing to do is to point them out rather than to try and argue them.. otherwise you end up legitimizing the discussion and going off on some irrelevant tangent rather than debating something worthwhile.

> And yet I can't stop wondering why no one ever write articles about much larger group of autistic people whom fate is much worse, IMHO

Second half of this first:

> autistic people whom fate is much worse, IMHO

It's astounding to me that you find "creeps, weirdos, nerds and morons without friends" to be a worse fate than "On a bad day he just sits and pretends he is a transit driver, going through the routes in his mind, for 10 or 12 hours at a time".

I'm one of those miserable "bullied in childhood" types and I'm still thankful that I'm able to participate in society and pursue my interests. A severely disabled person will never be able to do this. I can think up ethical frameworks that'd result in the judgment that social misfits have it worse than extremely disabled individuals, but they'd be tough to justify on various levels.

> no one ever write articles [about nerds]

They do, if you know where to look[1][2]... but they're unpopular, for various reasons (cultural zeitgeists, also consider the nature of popularity/zeitgeists and how a "nerd" might fit into that).

If I slap you, chances are you can figure out who did it pretty quickly. An ICBM launch followed by a vaporized city 30 minutes later points pretty conclusively to the culprit.

If a disembodied hand comes out of nowhere and slaps you, you may have difficulty proving it was me that did it, especially if the hand vaporizes in the process.

Doesn't sound like the tool in question had any real impact on that accident (so to speak). I'm guessing if you drop a 3-foot torque wrench through a fuel tank, it does just as much damage as a 3-foot socket wrench. The fact that they grabbed the wrong tool was entirely incidental to damaging the missile.

Also, it takes an extremely precise sequence of events to cause a nuclear detonation. A nearby explosion is not enough to do it, as you can obviously see here.

For those of you who want to run a 15k/month one person business, the most interesting excerpt from this article:

> Since I had been publishing content to GoRails for a year before I launched the paid courses, I had the advantage of all the SEO and visitors I had built that year. During that time, I was collecting email addresses of people interested in learning more about Rails. This gave me an audience I could launch to from day one, which was incredibly important to give me some confidence as I launched.

> After getting some initial traction, I had to come up with a way of marketing my screencasts. The way I solved this was by pivoting to weekly screencasts and releasing a free one every other week. This let me share quite a lot of content on places like Reddit, Rubyflow, and to my email list. I knew those users would check out the other episodes I offered and hopefully subscribe to the paid content eventually.

> I would say the majority of growth of GoRails has just been from this free content. If I cover a popular topic, it often gets shared, and if I cover a library, the authors love to share the videos as well to get more usage of their own work. I'm uploading the free content to YouTube which not only gets me an audience there but also saves me from some very high video hosting costs that I would incur if all the free content was hosted on Wistia. It makes for a nice way of building the community and the customer base at the same time.

As someone who used to love sports cars and driving, I can't wait for the day when self driving cars become a reality. I also had an incident around the same age. At the time I was driving a slightly modified Miata/MX-5 with a loud exhaust that doubled as my weekend autocross toy. The neighborhood kids used to yell "nice car!" as I drove by every day. One day I left late at night to meet some friends and I was driving around an unlit bend in the neighborhood when my headlights lit up two children laying down in the road directly in the path of my car. I don't know what I was thinking (I didn't really have time to think), but instead of braking, I just slalomed around them as if they were a cone. They couldn't have been more than foot or so from my tires. I never stopped to ask them if they were OK. I just kept driving and thinking about that moment for several hours. "What the hell were they doing laying down in the road? Was I driving too fast? Why didn't they move out of the road when they heard my loud car coming?" To make matters worse, while I was driving the average speed everyone else drives on that road, my loud exhaust probably made it seem like I was speeding. For the next several months the neighborhood kids yelled "slow down!" every time I passed them and I just cowered down in fear. Even though no one was hit or injured, that incident has stuck with me and I sometimes remember it when these stories come up and question how different my life could have been if I hit them.

There are likely some great psychiatrists out there. If you can find one, and the medication is working for you, go for it.

Rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment.

I'll admit, I'm very biased. My sister's pediatrician prescribed wellbutrin to her for weight loss (in middle school, when she wasn't even unhealthily overweight). Soon after, she became suicidal during a long road trip and attempted to kill herself by taking the whole bottle. This just led to more psychiatric intervention and more SSRIs. A few years later, my mom asked me to sit in on her therapy session, to see what I thought of "Dr. Dan", her psychiatrist at the time. This man sat there asking prying, dark, loaded questions for half an hour, pushing her further and further into silence and irritation.

I've also had some very positive experiences with therapists. I know now how to recognize a therapist/psychiatrist who is out of their element, but a lot of people just put blind trust "the psychiatrists". To me, that's very dangerous!
At this point minikube is so far behind on docker versions that the docker documentation is a source of frustration. I’m working on dockerizing a largish node project and so I have to keep clearing out old containers to make space, and the cleanup commands aren’t there.

Also about once a week I’ll build and tag a docker image successfully and it’s just gone. Docker images doesn’t show it and you can’t run it. Restart minikube and run a ten minute build again. Super.

I’m supposed to be documenting this stuff for people who don’t use docker. Right. Off to upgrade docker for Mac instead.

It's not really "sensationalist click-bait nonsense" to link this story to SpaceX, considering it's their launch. Might not be their fault, but linking them to the story is hardly a stretch.
It's not simply the holding of power that corrupts. 10 years ago I was a tech Director at an investment bank. The politics were brutal, so I quit. I returned a couple of years later as a contractor, and found some people treated me differently. They were no longer interested in chatting, and didn't laugh at my lame jokes. Other people treated me the same; they were my real friends. When you have power and influence, even if relatively minor, people will suck up to you. You may not be aware of it happening. It's insidious, and it will corrupt you if you're not on your guard. Some people enjoy it; in my experience they're often dangerous.

"The teaching method" - I observed this myself while helping Python newbies on the internet. Pretty often when you're answering a newbie question, you gain a deeper understanding of the problem.

Except that the current trend in webdev is to deploy small incremental changes multiple times per day and cache-bust the assets that change on each of those deploys.

This is one of the reasons I started commuting by bike. I was hit by a car as a child and I thought I'd like to reduce the chance of that happening again.

From that perspective I find it weird every time bikes come up here there's someone complaing about bikes going too fast or ignoring the rules or digging out the last time someone got killed by a bike, often a years old story. Kids getting killed by cars isn't even a news story, just a part of life.

I don't understand this approach. Alternatively, find a place to live, and a lifestyle to live, that lets your children develop without your anxiety weighing them down.
