This is true in Philly and to a lesser extent Boston as well.
Those deer are killed because thousands of humans aren't smart enough to not overdrive their headlights so they hit obstacles in the dark. Hitting a deer is not a small thing. You will seriously damage your car, and may be severely injured or killed yourself if the deer is tall enough to come through the windshield. In open range country you can also hit a cow. In some areas you can hit a moose.

Do we therefore change all the speed limits at night?

No, but we shouldn't drive like idiots either. It's not just "a driving risk taken", it's reckless and negligent behaviour.
Very interesting. Nice to have another option available. I've dabbled with the Stanford NLP libraries from .NET, but the GPL restriction makes it difficult to actually use in production code.

> There's something about driving that turns ordinary people into assholes.

Game theory with no further interaction so no consequence to defecting other than the immediate.

The problem is that there is always somebody willing to be a jerk to save 2 minutes since nobody wanted to be stuck in traffic. The only defense against that is "Do unto before done unto" and that turns everybody into jerks.

When we say "India" in an historical context, realize that we're not talking about the place we know today. S. Asian history contains many varying political entities and cultures each covering varying sub-regions of the region covered today by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. For much of of the time (I don't remember enough to say how long off the top of my head), the main divide has been between (northern India + Pakistan) and (southern (Tamil?) India), for geographical reasons. Heck, the Indus river, after which India is named, is now in Pakistan. The current countries and their borders date only to 1971, and are unresolved in some places.

(The vagueries of history and its crazy etymologies are hardly limited to the subcontinent: Look at the "West Indies" and Native American "Indians" as easy examples. And every piece of real estate in the world has been controlled by more than one political entity, and periodically one of the former owners claims someone else's land on some historical basis.)

For those interested in more, it's hard to find a good one-volume scholarly history of the region in English, at least last I looked. Here's the best I found, IMHO:

The same capability exists on more conventional online classwork systems that don't require sending data to Google's servers.

And in reality, this doesn't even become an issue much in practice: Google heavily encourages the one-for-one model, where each student gets their own Chromebook. They make a lot more money on licensing that way.
I haven't taken the course - and I'm hopelessly biased anyway so you shouldn't trust my comments. However a lot of our students have done it. Here's a couple of their comments (search the linked thread if you want more):

To be more specific, Red Hat is is backporting these security fixes into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and that's why (one reason why) RHEL costs money. People pay for RHEL when they want someone else to manage a distro for security and stability; this is one example of how Red Hat does that.

CentOS then gains the benefit of this work when Red Hat passes their changes downstream to CentOS.
Radical candor.
> Do we therefore change all the speed limits at night?

No, but we legally require drivers to modulate their speed to suit the conditions.

So generous of drivers to take up that risk to others.
The point is that you're building a vehicle that (I assume) will produce far more pollution (CO2 and otherwise) per passenger mile than existing aircraft. Is that an ethical thing to do at this point in time?
You have very little time in the classroom and CBs allow you to maximize the time and why we see CBs now having 60% share in the US of K12. Then the other side just a lot easier to manage.
It sounds like you've let anxiety and panic take control.

Remember that your co-founder cares about the business, and is probably doing what he thinks is best with his time.

I'd writing a letter to him (and not sending it), taking a full day off, and then read your letter imagining you're him.

It's important to communicate how you're feeling, but don't make your co-founder responsible for that--his work/role in the company is his responsibility, and the way you're feeling is your own. Communicating both (what you think needs to change, and also how you feel about it) but keeping the two distinct will help.

Counter-example: My vehicle's infotainment unit (new in 2016) has received exactly zero updates. If Android is supported for "only 2-3 years" that's still a step up, not a step down from the status quo.

PS - I should clarify that the engine's computer received at least two recall updates. But Android doesn't try and replace that.
As noted: They aren't really competing since the Microsoft Store runs of Windows devices and the Play Store runs on Android devices and the like. But whereas Google is fleecing you for a third of your income, Microsoft is being far more generous. Take that for what you will.

Obviously Microsoft won't see a huge surge of activity in their store as long as Windows 7 is still supported (which means developers are writing legacy apps).

Serbian (and other smaller nations) in Austria-Hungary were under what you would call imperial dominance. In Ottoman Turkey, it was definitely much heavier. In many ways, local Christian population in Balkans was literally enslaved. That's one of the reasons that large part of Serbian population collectively fled en masse from old Serbia to then Austria-Hungary in 16th century, and left a literally empty countryside, which was later re-populated by Serbian and Albanian population from even poorer mountainous areas.

I mean, finding cases of African American slaves that lived and worked as cooks or home attendants, or nannies, or whatever easier jobs were available in the South, in addition to much harder cotton picking would not be an argument that those people were not enslaved. The fact that one does not literally carry chains the whole day does not mean that he is not a slave, if the owner can literally decide on the life and death, without much consequence.

If we talk about imperial dominance in Ottoman Balkans, I would accept that local Muslim population (largely converts) lived under imperial dominance. Christian peasants - much, much heavier.

There's more than one big problem with WordPress, and namespacing is one of them. It's way too common, even in some of the most popular plugins, to just toss plugins into the global namespace and prefix them with $your_plugin_abbrev_. I've had textbook cases of namespace collision take down sites on routine plugin updates before.

The core design of WordPress relies on global state, e.g. the $post global. I agree that that's a huge issue. Unfortunately, that will never be fixed, because it's so central to the design that "refactoring" the WP core not to use global state would break almost every plugin and every theme, and would be a fundamentally different system.

Unrestrained Objects can cause or worsen accidents (e.g. phone under the brake pedal). Plus there's better integration with steering wheel controls and a closer microphone for voice control.

Phones themselves aren't a problem if used safely, such as running Android Auto (full screen app version) and having it mounted so it can hear voice commands.

The problem is that people try to jerry-rig a poor man's version using Google Maps app, a phone sitting loose in the cup holder, and no voice commands ("let me pick it up briefly to pick a route").

I once did a technical review for one of those small O'Reilly books (the German ones went for 10-15 EUR) - it was a lot of fun. I was paid in store credit, not cash, but it was a good deal because I did it mostly for the experience and then enjoyed some reading material. Sadly I've no clue how much the author made and if it was worth it financially.

That said, just the thought of having to write a book makes me want to run away screaming. Producing my diploma thesis was the least enjoyable part of all the years of school and university. I'm absolutely ok with writing technical documentation for my dayjob, but this rigid form with a threshold of pages to reach... bah
I know of at least one consulting shop that bills corporate clients $250/hr for mostly general software development in SF. The employees only see about ~1/3 of that amount. As a bonafide expert with a significant addressable market (expertise isn’t valuable unless you’re solving problems people have) and a knack for self promotion, it wouldn’t surprise me to hear $500/hr in SF/NY. It really depends on who your clients are and what kind of track record you’ve got to point to.
Do you want links to studies? I don't mind digging those up if you're actually interested. There is tons of woo surrounding the microbiome, leaky gut, and just about every other hot topic these days. There is also solid science being done around it. I don't work in the medical field, but I had to learn a great deal over several years after an adverse reaction to antibiotics kept me sick for a very long time (despite many valiant, and sometimes less than valiant, attempts by doctors to help). It was actually very frustrating to wade through all the fad products being hocked, even by doctors that should know better, and find nuanced information.

As for the really obvious, though fairly rare, dangers such as C. Diff., other resistant pathogens, SJS, and things like drug induced liver injury, I don't think anyone working in the medical field would question the reality of those.
Real estate agents and recruiters both seem to think everyone works like them: on pointless phone calls and meetings all day chatting and what not. Then they get shocked when you don't have time to speak to them during the work day.
A link in the OPs article that supposedly supports the conclusions derived from the data says:

...from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Homeless population in the city of LA is up 48% just since 2013. The reporters data shows a 31% increase in the amount of arrests of homeless people. So, per-capita arrests have gone down. That's basic statistics.

That would indicate that the headline of the article supported by the data...

Huge increase in arrests of homeless in L.A. — but mostly for minor offenses

..is misleading.

I lived in Santa Monica during the same time period. The homeless population has skyrocketed along with homeless crime. We moved further south because of the problem. The LA Times is a joke.

The LAPD are not the best police department in the country, but I do believe they're doing their best with a complex problem the rest of our society has chosen to ignore since the 1980s.

The homeless problem is not due to the police, but they are the ones we unfairly expect to deal with it.
...who told you that lie? An educational psychologist?

Also, it's the huuuge difference between "understanding" and "being able to communicate efficiently in words". People can "grok" very advanced stuff even if they don't fully command the language for expressing it. Unfortunately most incompetent teachers are totally incapable of "trying to explain something beyond the level of the language" but the human brain's pattern matching engines are not always tied to language...

It's a really personal opinion, but I don't think that we saw a lot of technological breakthrough in the last 50 years.

Except in genetic, chemistry and computer sciences, most other fields looks a lot like where they were 50 years ago.

It's true that there were a lot of incremental changes, greatly improving the overall efficiency, and also a far wider adoptions of these technologies. But the basis for most concepts/designs are in fact quite old.

The first computers are from the 50ies and the transistor from 1947, the 737 first flew in 1968, the 747 a few years later, the first nuclear plant dates back from 1956, Soyuz still flies despite being based on the 1957 R7 ICBM, the basic design of cars is pretty much established since the 20ies or 30ies.

Short of the internet (agree it's a big "short of"), our lives are not that much different than in the 70ies or 80ies (at least in the US/Europe).

And in fact, it's not a big surprise. A big factor in radically changing our material condition is to get energy, and a lot of it. First there was coal 200 years ago, then oil and gaz in the late XIXe century (plus electricity for its versatility and ease of distribution) and, finally, nuclear fission (and it was only a semi-success seeing the current and near future adoption). Short of a new energy source, with an output an order of magnitude higher than we currently have (Fusion? if we manage to pull it of), I don't see why we will have major technological changes.
These will be most useful for flights that cross the sleep time barrier, going across the pacific. There is a segment of people that cannot sleep on flights, and another segment that wouldn't need the larger first class sleep pod seats if it can be done in 5 hours.

It's not about accounting "for every possible scenario."

Arizona has a Basic Speed Law, which says "A person must drive at a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions."

If the speed limit is 55 MPH, but conditions (rain, darkness, etc.) would prevent you from being able to safely stop in time to avoid a collision, then you are not allowed to drive at 55 MPH until conditions change.
