Bravo Google! You've managed to make zero positive impact on your implied corporate stance on "gun control" in the US.

Worse, you've managed to degrade non-firearms related queries that contain 'gun.'
As someone who works for an investor-owned utility it is more than clear that IOUs are entering riskier markets such as solar, energy storage, EV charging stations, and wind. Utilities will either be pipes and wires companies or new-age energy solution providers to businesses and residents. Many already have the new sexy solutions making up 20%+ of their business, which just 5 years ago would of been unbelievable for the industry. This trend will continue and thus long-term winners (imo) will be the ones looking for new energy revenue models to make up the majority of their revenue. Vector (New Zealand) is a great example of this and they've done so in a short amount of time...

P.S. Utilities don't necessarily make more money by providing more electricity, they often ask customers to lower consumption so the utility assets don't blow up. Utilities try to sweat assets as long as possible and that cost deferral across multiple towns, states, etc adds up to millions or billions saved per year.

I train commute everyday and despite the ability to watch a movie or whatever, I still just want to get to my destination and move on with my life.

I think it'll be interesting to see society push the Time to arrival vs. general safety balance. I think we'll see a rising speed limit as the risk becomes more and more mathematical.
A feast for the lawyers- if anyone out there is preparing to get these cars and theire producers lawsuited till the lights go out- i would like to invest some of my savings well distributed into such endavours.

And also, there's also the slightly grey-area requirement that (if you're using it as your legal basis) consent should not be required in order to utilise your product, merely to utilise the feature set that requires the data.

If you need everything, then you'll need to use "fulfilment of a contract" as the basis, and in that case, you probably need to make your ToS pretty tight too.
I'm not exactly a fan of Xi, but theres some serious racial overtones in that little screed my friend. China has been an autocratic state for decades, Xi didn't reinvent the wheel here, and, also, while Mugabe sucked, his perception in the west was more than a little colored by racism. This is an excellent discussion, by a renowned South Asian intellectual who was driven out of Africa by no less than Idi Amin.

> if the status quo completely changes tomorrow, I still won’t care

… and would implicitly be supporting the new status quo.
Couldn't be said enough. What's sad about people that speed too, is that they mistakenly believe that they are the only ones affected by their speed. When in fact most of the affected people are the ones that feel safe pulling into an left-turn intersection knowing the speed limit is 25 and realize too late that someone is barreling toward them at 45. I wish there was more statistics about this phenomenon, but I wholeheartedly believe the mistake speeders make is thinking they have complete control and, yes while they may be good drivers in a certain aspect - the ignoring of commonly known road speeds is why they are, in fact, not good drivers.

I presume you're talking about things like informing users how their data might be used, storing user data securely, and not selling it to third parties. That sort of stuff is relatively easy.

The GDPR imposes some new requirements that were not previously part of any privacy best-practices that I'm aware of, and that create some system complexity. Chief among these is the right for users to retract consent after it has previously been granted. This effectively requires processors to be able to delete individuals' data from their records, something that was not a design requirement of many systems. This becomes increasingly more difficult as user data has often been aggregated, and joined with other data sources.

Another key differentiation of the GDPR compared to previous legislation is that it applies not only to data that identifies a person (such as by containing a name or social), but to data that could in theory be linked back to the user through a common identifier. Previous best practices have considered the user's privacy protected if they were identified through a hashed email or an opaque database identifier, but the GDPR does not consider this sufficient anymore.
So it has come to this. The Advertisers are shedding their self-righteous camoflage and just being evil. Adblocking is a necessary component of defense in depth.

If you are a large enough team, definitely. And not just in people, but in momentum.

That is, yes, it can be done. It is more work, though. Account for it.
Is it just me or is the obvious biggest problem in capitalism that you always need to have growth? It looks to me that in a naive approach I would like to build a constant profitable company that pays me rent like money that is predictable. I don't need investments that constantly grow in profits. Therefore flat demand is imo not a problem but the desired state. Finally a stable system is found.
That's an excellent (unintended?) consequence. I would certainly be more amenable to a longer commute if I could work remotely from the car and count it as work time.

> Not just from the government, but also from your average criminal.

And yet the US has one of the highest homicide rates for developed countries in the world, while sporting the highest (by far) firearm per capita in the world.

So something with that nice argument you, and others, have is not working.
Sure, it’s always painful to fix existing systems. In the future it should be no more expensive than business as usual though.

The only problem with using dropbox in this case, is if you accidentally dump node_modules inside of there, it really makes your file history revisions in dropbox messy.

That and if you have to sync with another PC at home makes your computer sluggish for like half an hour while its syncing

My solution to you is to have your code repos in another storage solution (not dropbox). Unfortunately you would have to pay for that too

Or, you could use a built in IDE that has a autosave local revision history. I know most of the brainstorm products have this feature, such as PHPstorm. This would prevent accidentally deleting something before committing

For incomplete commits / switching computers, I can't really think of any workarounds for this unfortunately. Dropbox is very convenient here. The only solution is to use something like teamViewer and remote into your desktop PC from your laptop
The car problem is considerably easier because it's predictable. Parts have tolerances. With poultry, you're dealing with a natural product with quite a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Really depends on what your offering is. If everyone else is also cold calling for your service, it's probably not going to work. If very few people are cold calling / cold e-mailing with your very valuable service that solves an urgent need, then it will be highly effective.

Cold outreach with a lot of effort/expense put into it is also a different beast from the typical cold call.
I can't imagine a single developer would have the power to make this change either?

I guess it's possible that filtering has existed for a long time for very specific queries and 'gun' was added to a list.

It seems weird that this feature could be put live in this state getting passed QA though. That makes me worried what other changes could get live without much oversight.
Riper used his personal access codes and authority as a US general to cheat the test. He also exploited the wonky weapon allocation rules in the game to load down speed boats with several times their weight in heavy weapons - which outside a game would either sink them or make them utterly sluggish. He also communicated with his men using civilian phones, but then claimed he was using "motorcycle couriers" and therefore he should be totally immune to all surveillance. Motorcycle couriers who happen to travel at the speed of light, use no gas, and took none of his men to operate.

He basically was trying to pull of a peasent railgun, and then got pissy when people told him he still had to obey the laws of physics with his strategies whatever other rules the navy's scenario involved.

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Peasant_Railgun

The idea of "spamming the enemy with speed boats" as a tactic is over 130 years old at this point. It was called "the young school" of naval thought, or Jeune École in its native French. It failed spectacularly in the real world, because militaries need only invest in a few destroyers armed with rapid fire cannons and the entire plan goes belly up. A hundred speed boats were simply no match for one destroyer armed with machine guns.
This is an awesome cheat sheet. I’ve been struggling with the constant aspect ratio problem!
In the UK (where Troy is not based), I guess a prosecutor might try and build a case around either:

- Section 58 of the Terrorism Act[0] which makes it illegal to possess information "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism", though the law provides "reasonable excuse" as an explicit defence.

- Section 3A of the Computer Misuse Act[1] "making, supplying or obtaining articles for use in unauthorised access to computer material" [my paraphrasing]

It feels like Troy has a pretty strong defence of "reasonable excuse" to my lay understanding though.

I also believe there are far more edge cases to deal with: specifically the edge of the blades on the propellers.

Whirling blades with an engine powerful enough to lift and transport a human plus cargo whizzing through downtown areas, and everyone owns one? It only makes sense in sci-fi movies.
It does return results containing "guns". If you search for "germs" and "steel", it returns the book "Guns, Germs and Steel". However it does not appear to return results if you search for "guns".
I'd say the more worrying searches it blocks are "gun lock" and "gun safe".

To me, it was bit of a relief, actually. It means that - to a degree - I can be more comfortable with who I am rather than try to be somebody I am not.

Alternative: block all third party objects (script files, iframes, images, the works) except those from sources on a white-list so libraries on CDNs function.

Looks like I finally need to get around to researching the options for this.

I'll have to stick with the more naive DNS blacklist based blocking for network wide protection though, as I don't want to tell others to use something more aggressive then have to support "this site doesn't work!" requests.
They probably didn't intend to block that.
Not on this particle but relevant if you're interested in cosmic particles: For my son's 5th grade Science Fair project we are building a cloud chamber to detect cosmic particles! As crazy as that sounds we've decided on this project after watching videos showing how ridiculously easy it is to build one, e.g. see this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pewTySxfTQk. Most designs call for dry ice (cheap, ~$10 for 10 lbs but may be hard to find a local store) but you can also build one using an air duster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCAVlMTBMe0!

Fun fact that I've learned from him during research: humans are exposed to cosmic radiation which is on average equivalent to 10 chest x-rays per year. It would be interesting to look at the impact of this on, e.g. cancer rates among people living at sea level versus cities with high elevation, e.g. Quito in Ecuador.
> industry-wide, concerted effort towards creating and requiring use of an extremely convenient web pay system

Without government backing, the system you envisage would ironically be prohibited by antitrust laws. It would be a rather clear example of price-fixing and collusion by competitors. Maybe there's some way to do this through peer pressure or incentives, but I think we've seen that approach fail so often that it's hard to see what could be done differently short of a hardline approach that would trigger regulatory scrutiny.
These are both valid choices. I had not meant it to be that it is not possible.

However, in both cases you now have a new line of work. It is common in my experience to find folks are behind in their first job, so adding a new one is dangerous.
This is incredibly false. When you change the law, you can't assume that people who are currently in compliance will continue to be.

It's a double tax because you're not paying enough for the road in the first place. I understand that there's this huge resistance to paying tolls for roads, but there's a valid reason for them for a variety of policy reasons (decongestion of city centers, insufficient funding to build out the road without private participation/tolls) that make it a valid tool for governments to lean on. In fact, the tolls allow for a more focused alignment of price vs usage (insofar as non-users of the toll road aren't tolled), which is a reasonable approach to take as a mixed pricing (taxes + tolls) model.
But ... a tax break is a subsidy!

And really, there usually is little significance to how the subsidy is paid, it's usually just an artefact of how it developed historically and how things were easiest to implement, potentially depending on psychological factors.

I mean, what would the alternative look like? You have to pay the same tax for both, but then can claim back a fixed percentage of the taxes on diesel? On the same form? Or should they have created a separate agency that processes the refunds? There simply is no other sensible way to implement this subsidy, and that's why it is the way it is.
The message of "mitigating not curing" autism comes from adults who have been through really bad attempts at cures (usually marketed to their parents). Some young adults with autism I knew had undergone "applied behavior analysis" that manifested as corporal punishment (being squirted in the eyes with a water bottle; being denied access to the bathroom; being beaten with a stick; having drugs hidden in food) that are completely unacceptable for a child.

I truly believe that every person with autism would vastly prefer being able to live independently. Science needs to find a "mechanism of action" for autism before it would be possible to find a "cure", which means people with autism being subjected to medical research. (Have you ever tried to get a person with autism to lie still in a MRI?) In the meantime, the best standard of care is to teach strategies to help them live as independent a life as possible -- and to teach these strategies in a caring and humane way.

For what it's worth, psychiatrists are doctors, and therefore covered under the single-payer health care in Canada. If you live in the United States, consider whether moving north could be beneficial for your daughter. (If she has friends at school, though, I would avoid moving her.)
That's not correct.

1st, the citizen who is sponsoring an immigrant is means tested.

2nd, UCIS must use their judgment to determine the immigrant has the means to support themselves and won't become a public charge.

This applies for all immigrants applying for permanent residency.

Also I'm not just talking about relatives sponsored by lawful immigrants, I'm also talking about relatives sponsored by citizens.

Btw unless a permanent resident is sponsoring their minor child, sponsoring another immigrant is generally a multi decade process.

Even the spouses of green card holders aren't considered immediate family and the average wait time when sponsoring is over a decade.
I tend to get motion sickness and eye strain when I try reading or working in a moving car. Maybe TV would be a bit easier on the eyes, but I think it's not a healthy habit in general.
This always irks me.

I could just as easily see it going the other way. With self-driving we could free up tons of urban land from being parking, as all cars can essentially valet themselves to a more optimal, consolidated parking location that may not be adjacent to your destination, or put themselves in “Uber mode” and run errand while you’re not using them. Uber becomes even cheaper, thus making it even easier for people to live in cities without a car, and greatly improving transport in places where public transit is not great.

Thus the reduced need for car ownership and all that parking that is now on the market for redevelopment should lower the cost of living in cities which is a huge deterrent that keeps people out right now.

I imagine that there will be some flux in both directions, with the less desirable suburbs being the losers in that equation.

The overwhelming number 1 priority of the Chinese Communist party is to remain in power and remain in control. Everything comes second place to that. Economically it would make sense to do what you say, but to do so would be an unacceptable loss of control over the ability to monitor and curtail communication in China, so they won't do it.

Additionally, they do certainly have the ability to detect and shutdown VPN's based on traffic analysis, for the most part they don't do this most of the time but during specific sensitive political events they can and will.
