>>>I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the obesity epidemic is not because folk are stuffing more kale down their gullets.

Of course you are right. I did not meant this. I was referring that, in general, your brain will seek more food as the nutrient density is now lower than before. This applies to all the food you eat, not only veggie and fruits.

On top of this we have high-calorie, high-palatable, low micro-nutrient foods that make all this much worse.
Lol... morons.

The actual news is CNN orchestrated an anti-IW campaign to threaten the advertisers with negative PR and thereby defund IW.
Self Documenting code isn't
I don't like driving, and I'd rather read the news, read a book, or type out an email, play the guitar, or for that matter, sip on my favorite cocktail. And seeing as how many drivers can't put away their cell phones while operating a motor vehicle, my guess is most people would rather be doing something else too, at least most of the time. Self-driving cars is my dream come-ing true.

I'm fine with reserving the right to manually operate a vehicle; too many situations in which an autonomous vehicle will just not understand what needs to be done.

I'm rather more concerned that without needing to operate the vehicle, and the design modification of the car to be more conducive to social activities, riding in a vehicle will become an even more attractive leisure activity, clogging traffic while people netflix (& chill) in their pleasure barges.
No, in other words he is suggesting that the technology take up an area of screen that makes sense instead of one that doesn't make sense at all.
Ghost in the Shell addressed this issue in 2005(o)

The Tachikoma units are debating how to stop a nuclear strike and one suggests that broadcasting a live feed of the nuclear sub would help, but the idea is reasoned against due to the technological capabilities to fake such a feed:

"Pictures don't prove anything anymore. It would just end up as a source of amusement for the uninvolved masses, an image from an unknown source that showed up at an all too convenient time."

It's still not "some children," it's "some people," though I must point out that you did not say some children. Without the "some" it's a much more troubling statement. It seems to be the same for Benadryl, as the only scientific source for any paradoxical effect I can find only saw it happening in three adults.

I'd take it the further step and say "don't take medicine prescribed for someone else."
Absolutely correct. Trying to be productive all the time is counter productive. I believe that we can train ourselves to enjoy leisurely activities that benefit our health / relationships as much or more than media consumption. What if we went on a 30 minute walk every evening and chatted with a significant other / child instead of scrolling through Facebook?

Then the next question is, how are you supposed to start your career if you don't know about it? I half kid, but it's neat to hear. I haven't been a part of the buyside for a while, so it's more than likely Citadel's gotten some internal clout in the quant scene since them.
Nice to start with!
I doubt such a lobbying effort will be necessary. You can still ride around in a horse-drawn carriage on most public roads. It seems far-fetched to think human-powered driving will be made illegal, it's far more likely that most people will just opt-out of it.

I also expect once autonomous vehicles are the majority of cars we'll see stricter enforcement of speeding laws. When everyone is speeding because that's the norm, you don't stand out. When every other car is self-driving at the limit and you're going 20 over in your Corvette, you stand out like a sore thumb. The UK already uses average speed cameras. I think the only reason they aren't widespread elsewhere is simply because many people speed.
It took quite a lot of sessions before he started understanding what to do; at first, he really preferred to push it from behind rather than sit in it. So I just kind of let him do that for several sessions and gently coaxed him into the car for a minute or two at a time. I felt like if I got frustrated he would get frustrated, and he would just reject the car altogether, so I basically let him do whatever he wanted with it at first.

Once he was sitting in there and messing with the controls, I would run and dance around in front of the car to get him to chase me, which he thought was hilarious. As soon as he was able to go where he wanted and clearly enjoyed it, I thought he would be ready to listen to me tell him what to do, so we would take longer trips with a destination in mind, to the playground or to the drum circle. I would verbally tell him what to do (stop, go, turn left, turn right, reverse, forward, etc), and if he doesn't do it within a couple of seconds, I stop the car with the remote start and hunker down and explain to him what I wanted him to do and show him on the controls. If he continues to not listen to my instructions we take a few minutes time out out of the car and sit on a bench or run around or whatever.

Anyways, keep trying! it's a lot of work but so much fun.
I felt the same way until I found a couple girlfriends and eventually got married.

I still enjoy being alone, though I do feel vaguely sad that my wife isn't with me during some of that time, especially if it's for days in a row.

But being alone doesn't make me sad in itself.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that not everyone is made the same, and some of us don't really have a problem being by ourselves for extended periods. Others have serious problems with it.

Write down your main point in a single sentence. Write down three (ish) supporting or illustrating points in one sentence each. Write a sentence explaining how those points support the main point.

Now, for every sentence you have, write down three or so supporting points and another sentence explaining how those support the original sentence.

How do self-driving cars restrict your freedom? You can still tell it where you want to go at any time and it will take you. I'm very confused what freedom I'm losing? Is it to drive over a riverbed if I want to? Never done that. Not sure I'd want to.

Having worked in a startup which eventually went on to become an unicorn (I left very early), I can attest to this personally. As a company becomes more successful, the narrative portrayed in media changes to present a good inspirational story - it never presents the countless challenges which eventually leads to its success.
This comment suggests Facebooks ability to "grow their business" via third-party hosted beacons, etc. relies on users not editing their /etc/hosts files. (or on not changing the DNS settings on their mobile device to use a nameserver that blocks Facebook domains)

How much "brightness" is required to carry out such a strategy? If millions of users followed step 2 (or blocked Facebook domains through another means), what would happen? How would the "brightest minds" respond?
When did people lose sight of the fact that the primary purpose of film on the silver screen is entertainment?

Where do authors like OP get the idea that I want to go to the movies to have politics shoved down my throat? And that there is some kind of obligation for those in charge to forgo their primary motivations of artistic expression and/or profit in the interest of some totally arbitrary target of "representation" of every combination of color, gender, and socioeconomic status?

Not to mention, this kind of thinly veiled political grandstanding in the context of film review is almost always cherry picking. There have been plenty of films examining poverty from numerous perspectives. The fact that they are not en vogue now does not speak of some kind of crisis-just like people clamoured over Black Panther as the first positive representation of blacks on screen, while conveniently ignoring decades of black cinema.

Outrage is the kind of thing, in my opinion, that is trivial to find, if you look hard enough.
Wendy and Lucy! Also, TV is better: Atlanta and the Wire are great about poverty.
I have to agree. The webpack-blocks project seemed like a step in the right direction, as it lets you 'compose' a webpack config (in theory) without side effects. I recently discovered lerna and am curious about using it to put together "safe" bundles of libraries which are commonly used together. No idea if that's actually a practical approach or not - its all in the dreaming stage.
I don't think you can have a really, really tight bond with someone if you never give them a chance to hurt you. If you don't share information about yourself that they could use to hurt you, then you haven't actually trusted them, and the bond you feel isn't as strong as it could be.
At any organization whose business model has evolved beyond "burn through investors' money, ask investors for more money", management NEEDS to have meaningful answers to these questions:

* What remains to be done?

* How much will it cost?

* How long will it take?

* Is the team on track or falling behind?

Forget contracts. Answers to these questions are non-negotiable for the team. Because the PM or engineering manager will be held accountable for those answers by the executives.

The best way to provide those answers is to adopt a data-driven approach. You have stories in the backlog. At the start of each sprint, the developer(s) to whom the stories are assigned break the story down into tasks and assign an estimate IN HOURS to each task. As the tasks are completed throughout the sprint, each developer logs how many hours they spent on that task, preferably daily.

This amplifies the benefits of Agile because the manager doesn't have to guess, they can look at the burndown chart and see -- are the developers meeting their estimates? If not, by how much are they missing? Are they taking on an appropriate amount of work each sprint? Should they do less? More? Who is doing well and who is struggling? Then, decisions can be made with respect to who should do how much work on what, with rapid turnaround time.

"If it can't be measured, it can't be managed." This is fundamental to management, and has been a maxim in software management even during the Waterfall days. What Agile gets you is shortened feedback cycles and more rapid turnaround.
When you take away the effort to meet people, you naturally put in less to interactions

The thing you're missing is that you're still at the mercy of the establishment with which you're authenticating. Just like how my 1024-character banking login password doesn't stop my bank from giving someone else my debit card.

To suddenly arm a bunch of people with a new authentication paradigm like hardware keys would just result in a lot of people losing them and then having to go through the establishment's reauthentication channels anyways, which are the weakest link in these systems. And the influx of people needing account resets further degrades the security of the channel the same way you stop asking to see IDs when customers are paying with credit during the lunch rush.

The premise of this article is wrong. There are many movies about people who aren't rich. The stories may not revolve around their poverty, the poverty may not be an integral part of the story, but the characters are still clearly working class.

That said, people don't go to the movies to be lectured about poverty. They go for an escape. Poverty is sad, so there isn't a huge appetite for movies "about poverty".

Meetup.com. Find something you know or want to know, and join a group about it. Show up regularly. You'll get to know the others that show up regularly and being to bond with them.

I joined a Meetup group for learning Japanese and went a half dozen times, and then just stopped going. I still consider going back, and I feel a little bad for abandoning them... Even after like a year or 2 now. (I also want to continue learning Japanese, so that's some of the pull, but I feel bad about the people there, too.)

If you don't have a skill you want to learn or practice, there are groups for things like board games, too.
Sorry, I disagree.

If you want to stop 30,000 people from dying on the roads every year, don't allow multi-ton vehicles on the road.

If everyone was using motorized bikes, you would have almost no road deaths. Furthermore, people die choking on food every year. Please don't mandate us to use self-chewing teeth.

One approach is to write a reducer which has `isWaiting`, `error`, `finished` bools (in addition to whatever data said promise eventually modifies), or something similar, and programmatically update them in your actions/thunks. This effectively tracks the state of the promise (resolved/not resolved, error).I think the Flux "standard action" puts something similar in the action object - not sure what they do with it then.
"Manifesto" talk aside, this is the same discussion about automation styles: Ironman vs. Ultron.

I'm a huge fan of Ironman automation method - augment, not replace the humans - since it takes the boring and error prone parts away, and utilizes humans for the edge cases. There's a lot of potential for huge wins for low costs. And, absolutes aside, that's in line with this article.

The alternative Ultron method - take the humans out entirely - is simply too expensive and error prone. It's absurdly common to watch entire automated assembly lines grind to a halt because of corner cases that have to be fixed by humans. We're seeing the same thing with automated vehicles - when corner cases are hit, they pull over and signal for human intervention.

So, I guess I agree with the author, though in a less stylish way. Please make me a better driver; don't remove me from the seat entirely. Just imagine that fancy VR simulation they showed from the Waymo cars made available as HUD data for a regular driver. How much would that alone help with safety on the road?
You can separately judge the abuse or the hacking.

If you judge the person as such (that entity which you're calling "the hacker"), then, though both are part of the person, the abuse is more relevant than the hacking. At least, I would guess, in most people's estimation.

Referring to that person using the noun phrase "the hacker" rather than "the abuser" doesn't make the hacking a more relevant measure of the person.

> Elon Musk Says Tesla's Self-Driving Tech Already as Good as a Human Driver

Which is the exact opposite of what I said above. Elon's quote implies he thinks his cars would still kill around 30,000 people per year. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a car that's thousands of times safer than a human. Not "as safe". "As safe" as a human is terrible performance and we should not allow those cars on streets without a driver if that is the case. No way.
Incredible. There are far too few people like this guy in the world.
