Depends on your forensic accountant... but did I mention how much forensic accountants cost? :)

Basically in a divorce you are fucked unless you can keep everything amicable and do it via mediation. Otherwise you will either lose all your money to the other party or to the legal system. That was my choice - I could have paid less alimony but I would have had to spend $100k in legal fees for a chance that I'd get a sympathetic judge and things would go my way.
I love having a manual car in traffic simply because it gives me something to do to pass the time. I can play around with the gears, the shifting etc keeps me engaged and focused on the road. I imagine with an automatic it is much easier to mess with the radio or gps and, god forbid, a cell phone.
I have a high deductible plan where I’m liable for the first $5k. That didn’t reduce any costs, nor can I get a price to shop around.
Local inference with cloud learning isn’t an unreasonable model.
As I said ... we will go learn to drive the monster, and then they will not really get many opportunities after that. Show some responsibility and I may let them drive it some more with me in the car, but it will be some time before I trust them to have unlimited access to a high performance car.

Though to be fair, the latest iteration of the stability and traction control is pretty amazing. Short of turning it off, or driving with inappropriate tires for conditions, I can't really get the car out of shape without turning off the nannies. I can hang it out a bit but I could never manage to pull off those beautiful crowd-killing losses of control that Mustangs seem to apt to pull at Cars & Coffee events around the country.

So aside from just driving too fast and making physics an insurmountable issue, they could probably drive it pretty safely if I somehow made it so the nannies could not be disabled.
The constitution does not grant rights. The entitlements you mentioned are not rights, they are the bare minimum necessary to not violate the constitutional requirement that prisoners not be subject to cruel and unusual punishments, which is one of the few rights guaranteed to those convicted of a crime. Americans are constitutionally protected from the government inhibiting their right to free speech, liberty, etc, but the government only has to abide by this if those Americans have not been convicted of a crime. This is clearly stated in the 14th amendment where it is pointed out the government can infringe upon rights by due process of law. For example, criminals do not enjoy the same protection from violations of their right to free speech.

Seeing as the other residents of the county are not being asked to evacuate, it seems a real stretch to claim that the prisoners are being subject to cruel and unusual punishment. The commenter above claimed prisoners ought to be rescued first. However, that doesn't really seem necessary. They should be treated at best like anyone else, because the main charge is that they not be cruelly or unusually punished, and being treated the same in an emergency like a non-prisoner is hardly cruel or unusual.
I like the automatic cars that allow you to choose your gear using the stick. I have a 2010 Impreza, which has the god-awful 4EAT, but you can avoid a lot of the issues if you just downshift manually when you'd like to.
Forensic net requests?
You can MITM the entire traffic. Mimicking it's nature isn't the hardest task in the world if all the data is handed on a silver platter, and it's even easier when their client code is uncompiled JavaScript. There are always people data mining the client.

>> No complicated behavior was produced.

The bots were routinely pulling off coordinated team behavior that players couldn't figure out, but that worked. This has to qualify as complicated.

>> Dota 2 game was not played. A tiny subset of the game was attempted. Since people seem to be just buying whatever OpenAI propaganda sells them, let me be specific: only 18 heroes are in the game. The combinatorics explode when you go from 18 to 110. Go on a 5x5 board is a joke compared to 19x19 Go. This is not hard to understand.

Already mentioned that the hero pool has been opened up. Along with the removal of the other restrictions (invincible courier, items) this is basically pure DotA.

>> Just because OpenAI Five appears to play Dota 2 (still doesn't beat any serious players though) doesn't imply anything fundamental about tactics beating strategy.

The bots beat a team of 5 casters (granted, with some of the older restrictions in place) who are individually in the top 1% of DotA players by MMR.

You're flat out wrong or at the very least inaccurate in all three statements that you made.
I have somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 hours operating a stick vehicle in high congestion traffic. I went to engineering school and studied traffic both academically, and experientially. Yes, I understand traffic better than you do.

Do you understand traffic? I pretty much doubt it.

No, 99% of people driving in traffic aren't idiots. About 5% are, and that's all it takes. My most pleasant finding from all those years of driving was to note that the vast, vast majority of Houston daily commuters were absolutely pro drivers when it comes to congestion.
Are you allowing enough space in front of you for cars to merge in without wedging themselves in front of you?

That's the worst problem I see around here -- cars in the freeway running bumper to bumper, and then a block of 3 or 5 cars also running bumper to bumper trying to force their way in, but none of the cars really leave enough room for a smooth merge, so the cars on the freeway end up hitting the brakes when the merging cars force their way in.
I used to drive from Connecticut to Queens every single morning. I am familiar with the concept of traffic. Nobody in their right mind enjoys driving in heavy traffic no matter what car they're in.
Have you considered trying lithium, abilify (an atypical anti-psychotic, I believe), or electro shock therapy?

It takes a lot longer for a company to build up a good reputation than to lose it. But if a company evaluates its managers on metrics and if good reputation can't easily be measured, it's very easy for them to lose it.

I was just thinking that's the sign of an extremely mature system. No system will never be free of problems, but you will have less of them, and paradoxically, the problems you are left with have far more complicated and usually emergent paths to activation.

The problem is people often change in fundamental ways. It is difficult to choose a partner in your early 20s who will retain the same value system throughout their life. Both myself and my ex are very different people from what we were in our 20s.

There are many factors that contribute to a successful marriage. I'd say commitment is one - you have to want the marriage to work. You have to accept that the other person is an individual and accept that they aren't your twin and also that they are free to grow. You may disagree, for instance politically, yet you have to respect them and allow the differences. It's tough to run a 3 legged race for 30-40 years.

Special Antibodies Could Lead to HIV Vaccine
I went to college in the US and then grad school in Europe and Asia and my personal impression is that you get what you pay for. Professors outside the states don't get anywhere near as much money and as a result don't provide the same level of personal level attention and guidance. For my undergraduate thesis, I saw my advisor once a week. For my PhD thesis, I saw my advisor four times a year. In the US a normal class had around 3-4 hours of lectures a week, plus continuous assessment, and ran from September to June. In the UK, where I did my PhD, it was 2-3 hours a week, one test at the end of the year, and classes started in October and ended in March. I didn't realize how good I had it in the states until I left. If you can afford it, it's awesome.

Can't you do the same thing in an automatic? Put it in first gear?
One of the main draws of the mobile apps are the discount coupons. At McDonalds you can get many of their sandwiches for $1 using the mobile checkout coupon, including the Fish Filet and Big Mac. I've been using it pretty regularly recently to get a single sandwich, no side, for lunch. Burger King has similar deals, but they are usually oriented around getting two adult meals for $6, etc.
for me - the first sign of stick shift death was the GM LS1 set of vehicles. I honestly don't know how it was before them, but I know the Camaro Z28, Pontiac Trans Am, and I believe even the Vette with the LS1 sold the automatic for the same price as the manual.
It might not be, I'm just going off of intuition. I think it might "lag" in the sense that the annoyances / inconveniences that get gradually introduced don't result in a linear reduction of users. I think you can get a sort of "frog in boiling water" type situation, where you're gradually getting less utility out of the product or subconsciously more annoyed with it but you don't really realize it and take action until some threshold is hit, at which point a large portion of users suddenly jump ship within a very short time window. Pure speculation though.

I worked at a dining hall at a state university all 4 years, just graduated this spring. Some food was really good, some was mediocre, never inedible. If the hot line didn't have anything good there were always well stocked sandwich/salad bars and flat top grills open to students. I definitely ate better then than I do now.

As far as pricing went, it worked out to about $9/meal. Kind of high, but also unlimited spinach/quinoa/berries/fruits/yogurts vs. burgers and panda express.

I heard they nerfed some of the benefits, but as a "student supervisor" I got $9/hr and 15 meals/week for working 15 hours/week.
I love driving stick, but I have no illusions that I make better decisions about what gear to be in when than good automatics/CVTs, and I know I'm not saving gas the way I drive. Now, many automatics still bother me or even feel dangerous with their sluggishness, but there are great ones out there that I am happy to drive.

But the American market is definitely to the point now where it makes total sense to just eliminate the option for a stick shift. Not enough people can drive it, and so few adults have them that their kids aren't learning either. It's to the point that it's actually difficult to find a good quality new car with a stick shift.

And then that in turn means you can't trust your car to anyone else. Valet parking is downright dangerous. My wife's car had its clutch literally melted by an incompetent valet driver, and the car was barely driveable when we got it back. We managed to limp to the dealer, and we got our insurance to pay, but it was a hassle. I'm not sure it's worth the risk if you are in a situation where you need to ever hand over your car to someone else. I will not be using valet parking anymore, that's for sure.
Lot of interesting ideas here. I would just add a few points.

On listening to your gut when you are a brain person, this is actually trainable, check out the book Focusing by the University of Chicago psychologist and philosopher Eugene Gendlin.

On deciding, it seems to me the two most important things are if the two of you have reasonably common values about how you want to live your lives, and if you trust the other person's moral character and ability to act rationally, at least when it comes to something really important. If the two of you have these, then you can probably work out the difficulties.

Thirdly, you stand a much better chance of settling problems small and large if you take a course in interpersonal relationship and conflict resolution skills. See for instance Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg.

Lastly, you need to have some larger philosophy or religion to keep things in perspective and as basis for personal value beyond how much your mate loves you, otherwise you will either be their puppet or try to be their master.
Perhaps governments could make ad driven revenue illegal, force the internet to drop that particular business model.

I've seen arguments that water is a form of ash, since it is already oxidized and cannot be combusted (I guess in pure flourine it can). So I guess one could argue that fish are covered in ashes.
This seems like an odd way of rationalizing the extreme concentration of wealth to the top along with growing poverty and lack of opportunity to climb the economic ladder.

Defining people in baskets like 'productive' and 'unproductive' is a fairly cold and callous way of looking at the plight of many Americans ranging from the poor to the elderly.

edit: Also to add onto my point: We've seen in America that people over time have grown more productive, yet wages have stagnated. If your theory was correct that productive Americans are allocated more resources, then presumably we should've seen the economy adjust accordingly.
I’m not a JS developer and I don’t have a dog in the fight, but the author’s rhetoric is on point. No idea if it’s legitimate at all, but the carbon emissions analogy seems rhetorically masterful.
(Disclosure: I got divorced in the past year)

I don't see why marriage is not treated just the same as other contracts. Clearly defined partnership agreement, defined renewal periods, defined termination clauses and definitions of cause. You could still protect both parties by requiring the partnership to include an equitable asset distribution clause.

The state currently grants marriage licenses, so they have a clear hand already in this process. They could replace the whole licensing process with requiring a written partnership agreement that meets basic requirements.

No, instead we have this weird situation of basing everything upon some agreed "permanency" based solely upon trust when we all know there is nothing of the sort going on.

This process could still handle the religious ideas of marriage too--just renew your contract!
Flash was a battery hog. HTML5 video is less so.
Such an odd sentiment.

Assuming that pay is kept the same, the only rational argument for not having more free time for themselves outside of work would be from people who had a substantial equity stake in wherever they worked. And for most situations where that was the case there would be nothing stopping them working more.
So sad to see this.

I just bought an A4 with the manual transmission and it was tough to even locate one...most Audi dealerships get only a few each year.

One of the key metrics for US casual dining firms is the number of times that they can turn a table in a night. In the industry the metric is called table turns and is often talked about on quarterly conference calls with investors.

One thing that kills table turns are people who stay for dessert or coffee. On way to prevent that is to serve plates overloaded with cheap carb fillers (rice, fries, etc). People feel obligated to eat what is on the plate and when stuffed won’t linger.

Other tips are to use hard surfaces (floors, walls, ceilings) so that the acoustics make it hard to talk; move tables to the center of the room; have waiters show up with check-in-hand when they ask about desserts; drop the check early; keep the restaurant too cold (too hot, men complain, too cold women leave); and put TVs on the walls (kills conversations).
I just do like the truckers do, leave it in second and crawl. It helps to not be concerned with maintaining a 6 inch gap with the car ahead.

I truly believe that stop and go is caused by automatics. All of the brake tapping tends to bunch people up at the end of long lines forcing them to a complete stop. In a manual just let off on the gas a little and the engine brakes a little, no brake lights to create cascading braking
Can you prove that the US healthcare industry is more regulated than countries like say, Germany or Canada? Because it would be incredibly hard to believe that somehow America is more regulated than countries that have more direct control over their healthcare.
Exactly. An on-the-job developer who hand-rolls some tricky but well known algorithm from scratch is being foolish. It would be much more productive to see how their google-fu is.

Do they know which algorithm families to look up? Do they know which libraries in the given language will likely have the algorithms already available? That's what a real developer needs to know so why not interview for that.
Ada usually has very little overhead since it was developed with real time systems in mind.
That's number one. Also never, ever believe your salespeople when they tell you what customers want. Take it all in but make sure you talk to some customers directly.

I have had it so many times that we implemented some convoluted only because the customer and salespeople misinterpreted some technology or didn't know about other ways to do what they need.

If everyone could just relax out there, some of those traffic standing waves would diffuse away to nothing. Ahhh...

When I get in bad traffic and struggle against the urge to tailgate I play a game where I try and give enough space to where I just roll up to the car in front of me as it is starting to move again. This gives me a time-local goal to aim at instead of fixating on supposed "bad actors" I might want to judge instead.

Edit: I found it! (from 2008 it appears)

I did that with some customers when I consulted but I think I should have formalized it. It's a win-win for everybody.
I didn't make any such assumption. I just said that if you only cover R&D on success and fail to cover typical failures, people won't have an economic incentive for doing R&D.

In fact the returns are higher than the necessary costs, including the costs of the failures. That is one of the reasons that pharma is profitable.

However what this also means is that big pharma lobbies hard for long patent terms. And when they get them, then other fields, such as software, have to put up with them.
Mainly because of unsecured government guaranteed loans. The government pretty much has to give you a loan no matter what your predicted ability/willingness to pay back is. Colleges are capitalistically taking full advantage of this cash flow.

The belief is rooted in the overall success of the industrial revolution and our post industrial world. We have fewer wars. healthier lives, longer lives, a larger educated class of people, and a level of wealth that is slowly but surely becoming available to everyone.

I certainly don't expect you to agree with the optimism - but to describe it as blind (as though its not rooted in recent success) or wishful (as if its a magic trick that will end soon) is a bit off base.
Another factor I've seen helping amazon is the fact that their amazon gift cards are basically being used as a form of currency. I often trade stuff online and everyone often uses amazon gift cards. The reason is because you can redeem an amazon gift card immediately to your account to make sure you don't get scammed. With most other gift cards, even after the trade the other person can still use the gift card.

I'm surprised other companies haven't realized this. If people are able to use your gift cards as a form of currency then it really helps the overall brand because eventually people are going to buy stuff with the gift cards.

Or sometimes it's just a missing piece of critical thinking - 'Is what I'm doing unique to me, or is it something other people need to be doing as well?'. Most times there are others doing the same things, and that means there's a market probably being served by someone already that you can leverage to meet your needs.

Or down the other path where that question is never asked is the madness of 'fully customizable' LOB stuff, like SAP or Domino.

I have that conversation often in the enterprise apps space, and so frequently the fundamental question just hasn't been considered while everyone rushes towards a horrible custom code nightmare that's entirely unnecessary.
You are wrong. You can drive like truckers, just roll, maintain space, and keep off the brakes.
