Either way, a key to preventing accidents is being predictable.

The problem is, if I relied on other drivers to be predictable, I'd probably already be dead. I tell other motorcycle riders, "ask yourself what the stupidest thing that driver in front/next to/behind you can do. Now plan for that." It's not too often that plan needs to be executed, but it's handy when the time comes. (Anecdotally, I've found WA to be the hardest to plan for; man, they're a creative bunch.)

So, yes, be predictable; but expect the unexpected. As Red Green said, "we're all in this together."
Whenever I (or anyone else I've seen) have been laid off, and I've been laid off from several jobs, I would have about fifteen minutes to pack my things and say my goodbyes, and be ushered out the door right away.

People that resign may or may not be allowed to stay for the two weeks, depending on how much the company was relying on them (often the companies didn't really have much redundancy or documentation in place and needed to train someone new and/or do a few meetings with infodumps with these people)

But that's the only 'courtesy' I've ever seen.
Now, now, let's focus on the positives here:

- more pollution from shipping routes through the Arctic circle (and yucky-looking icebergs that tourists don't like)

- less beachfront property

- more desalinatable water

- hotter heat

- more revulsive detestable significant others (displaced global unrest)

- costs of responding to natural disasters occurring with greater frequency due to elevated ocean temperatures

- less parking spaces (!)

What are the other costs and benefits here?
Right. Intending to break a bad habit carries no weight. Actually doing it is what counts. The government's action here wasn't smart: it was in fact cowardly.

Not for flood insurance. There's no profit in it. The National Flood Insurance Program is a federally-subsidized program that loses about a billion dollars a year.

Water utilities are (justifiably) very protective of their infrastructure. Justifiable because of the extreme expense in closing a street, excavating, and repairing anything that happens to their buried infrastructure. I've seen the one in my city reject a stormwater pipe because of a couple small pieces of crusher dust. I can't see them being positive towards the deliberate installation of another biofilm-forming-surface inside their pipes. But YMMV I'm only speaking from experience in my small neck of the woods!

May be, but I didn't see examples of those things in the article.
> Why do you attempt to follow the letter of the law?

Cars are objects that have an extreme amount of kinetic energy. The point isn't to avoid getting pulled over, the point is to avoid dying or killing.

> 60mph in a 55mph

Air resistance increases at a squared rate. The amount of fuel you use (and your emissions) is not linearly associated with your speed. So does your kinetic energy. Going at 25, 5 over is not the same as going at 55, 5 over.

> Do you ever find yourself on a road getting passed by all the other cars? Isn't that annoying?

All the time, but it's not annoying because I don't care about being in front of everyone - I have left for my destination with ample time to make my appointment. I'm on the road to reach a destination, not to win the race. I don't care if people cut in front of me, because I have chosen not to and give them the safe room to do so.

Driving aggressively is stressful, you [not specifically you] are fighting with everyone else on the road. You're going to risk your health in order to be directly ahead of me at a red traffic light two minutes later? I'll just pull to the right and give you room to pull in front of me. I try my best to get out of the way of aggressive driving; the further those drivers are away from me, the better.

In those two minutes where you've [again, generalized "you"] been racing everyone else on the road, I've probably let someone in front of me - saving them minutes and costing me seconds (before the next traffic light equalization). I feel good about myself, you are in the throws of fight or flight.

The only appeal of courteous driving is that there is less than an appeal to aggressive driving. The only way to win is not to play.
Do you have any evidence for this claim?
The dark patterns in play now to get explicit consent are pretty bad now though. Take Mashable for example.

On first visiting the site you are presented with the option to "Consent" or view more Options (where you can Opt Out of all - except you can't really because some require Opting Out on the specific Advertisers site). But if you do choose to Opt Out all, they will then show you the initial Option box on every visit to the site, where you have to go through the More Options route every time. And if you ever accidentally click I Consent, then they opt you back in to everything again and then never show you that option box ever again.

Note: I just picked on Mashable, but there are many, many sites following this same dark pattern.

> You're thinking too current.

Sure, because I know that the second the "industry" smartbulb is launched and connected to secure networks (someone will definitely provide a good reason to connect a lightbulb to a network with confidential data just like today you connect your phone over WiFi to a secure network to Snapstagram) IDS systems will detect flickering lights on all wavelengths thus preempting any attempt to exfiltrate data that way :). This would make the whole point moot. Hence me staying in the present.

In all seriousness there is absolutely no good reason to ever connect anything to a secure network that's not critical for the functioning of that system. But maybe I'm too current, maybe future networks are managed by... creative people.
Bloomberg writers definitely overuse this hook, but long-reads are more narrative-focused, so it totally makes sense to introduce the issue this way — just not every time.

No, when it's in session Parliament is pretty much a full day's job for an MP, probably more if you're actually trying to do good work and/or have a cabinet or shadow cabinet post. Remember in the UK the executive is run by ordinary people elected to the legislature, they aren't just arbitrarily picked by a President, although in some roles it will be tolerated to "elevate" outsiders to the House of Lords and then give them a minor cabinet post, doing this with a Great Office would cause outrage in the modern era, those are always given to elected MPs. Because the Prime Minister can change in days (or in practice hours) an entire parallel Shadow cabinet also needs to exist for a party that would seek government, with no power today but every capability to take over political control of government tomorrow if called to.

My local MP commutes, less than two hours each way - gets the same train home I was catching after visiting the (London) office, so leaving London just after 1900 on a weekday, to obviously the same city I live in on the coast.

Those who live further away have flats in London, they stay for four nights a week and go home at weekends. Indeed some of the last train services heading North on a Friday are almost explicitly for such MPs and staff. Kings Cross to Edinburgh on a Friday evening is not exactly a tourist route, it won't get there until after midnight.

Using an official car would be an unacceptable expense except for certain senior ministers (who work in London all the time, e.g. the Prime Minister and often senior cabinet ministers live there) and it's frowned on even then, one of the few good things you can say about Boris (Johnson, the city's previous mayor) is that he rode a bicycle a lot rather than constantly getting official cars just a few miles up the road.
Get a partner who is just as invested as you (deferred equity over a number of years works well) and lean on them for some of the management functions.
It would be largely useless. Most children's development is extremely varied. Books like to use average values but they never talk about how wide the standard deviation. It's so wide that an average is actually a useless value. Each child is completely different, so knowing the milestones is basically useless.

My son was slow to smile, and very slow to walk. But he was evaluated with a 160 IQ at age 4. I have a friend who didn't talk until he was 5 years old. His parents were afraid he was developmentally delayed. In fact, he went to Berkeley for undergrad and Stanford for his PhD and you never would have guessed he didn't talk until he was 5.

So development speed is extremely wide standard deviation to the point where data from the first several years is fun if you want to brag but useless for the purpose of generating any useful data on whole, except for the severely delayed.

Simple answer with horrible consequences, discontinue all FEMA insurance. This of course will never happen because many elected representatives from both parties have coastal properties that require it in order to get a mortgage.

The "everyone fend for themselves" trope of American in my opinion is only perceived this way due to a concerted effort by Libertarians and Conservatives to push this thinking, and during periods where those views have power (such as now) it becomes even more engrained that this is "America" and further fuels efforts to remove those social nets and other social connectivity that was promoted and emphasized during periods of increased interconnectivity (ex. Obama - Public Service, Healthcare, Living Wages, Consumer Protection, Environment, Battery and Clean Energy foundations, Net neutrality, Auto-rescue, open government data, LGBTQ).

As long as we remember and push against this false "fend for themselves", it need not become America.

Flood insurance is a different program.

No actual company is stupid enough to put money that a floodplain won't flood. Instead the federal government uses tax money to basically back insurance so that when, surprise, your floodplain floods, the insurance companies aren't actually losing money.

Are you sure that belief is as widespread as (c) things are always getting worse? Do you find that regardless, this is subjective and saying things are a near certainty like it's objective is just reinforcing the parent's point?

> And since that's quite a big part of how people today spend their time (1-3 hours a day on social media), that person is probably a special snowflake in other regards too. For one, they get to form their thoughts outside the social media echo chamber...

Not sure it's fair to take an average and compare it to an individual and pretend there is no middle ground. It's even less fair to assume that one on social media cannot form their own thoughts, that ones off social media can, and that other mediums of social activity that people spend hours of a day doing don't have other effects. It comes off as guessing at best and curmudgeony at worst. If your social media situation is a thoughtless echo chamber (or your social situation in any aspect), that isn't fair to assume this is the case for everyone.
I not only have no problem with their opinions, I wholeheartedly encourage them. It's by expressing them that the poster gets to read contrasting (and complementary) opinions and consider another point of view - and what better way to form a balanced view of a subject?
A proper flood insurance would be a tax for flood-prone areas. Rates are calculated so that for any given house the expected insurance payouts are slightly lower that the insurance premiums over the next few decades. The insurance has a high incentive to get those numbers right (or overestimate payouts) because that's their profit margin.

Government subsizided flood insurance is a really weird subsidy that just shouldn't exist.

When I was in college one of the big promises of BIM was "we'll have information rich models that will make estimating easier and more accurate!"

I'm not directly involved in that process in-industry (ended up in light fixture manufacturing), but my impression is that BIM models are usually good enough to kick out a set of drawings, but you wouldn't want to count on any information that you pull out of it electronically being accurate.

So you still have "contractor to verify quantity" notes on everything, and presumably someone going through the drawing figuring out how many "Type F 2x4' troffers" and how many faucets and how many of every other little detail that will take money or time.

It's a pretty intensive process, but given the amounts of money at stake if you screw it up, hugely important to get right.
I dislike the way fledgling projects don't provide any details about pricing. Even if they haven't figured out the model they want to go with, just a simple statement saying as much is helpful and transparent.
