Methamphetamine and cocaine are both schedule 2, meaning they are legal with a prescription. Pot and shrooms, arguably way safer, are schedule 1, meaning there are no valid medical uses and are outright prohibited in the US.

The exact funding numbers, and the exact extent to which airports are controlled by the FAA, are supplied in the two links above. There is no point arguing. If you're under the impression that airports are an example of private enterprise, I suggest you review the two links I provided. If you already did, I suggest you do it again. Some things are not worth arguing about, especially when the facts are right in front of you, and this is one of them.

Thats a very interesting thought. The article is about DSLR and mirrorless system camera lenses though and I guess thats a market that always accepted extra mass for higher performance, in contrast to the market for compact-cameras.

I wonder wether the weight gain is based on the glas or the body. Are there more lenses with metal bodies to give them a luxury touch.
In my experience, zipping as described here - when getting onto the highway - isn't done properly in NL. People still try and force themselves onto the highway or other lane as soon as possible. My colleague called it "eerste blokjesangst".

Just keep going for a bit further, use the whole road, and make sure you're matching speed with the rest of traffic, instead of making them (unknowingly) slow down to let you in. Also keep in mind you ARE allowed to overtake slower traffic on the on-ramp, so if there's a truck there, just pass it on the right, then merge.

You forgot generational wealth.

On the other hand a number of us are puzzled by a leading cryptographer and security expert actively recommending WhatsApp after all the tricks Facebook has been trying to play since they bought it, e.g default opt in to new amd wildly different terms.

Ironically it's easier than ever to be informed, but harder than ever to maintain self-discipline and avoid consuming junk.

The Media Bias Chart is a good tool for assessing the quality of sources: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/

Select one or two sources at the absolute pinnacle of the chart (bias score of between -6 and 6, quality score of 56+). Once a day, spend 10 minutes scanning the headlines in their Top News sections.

Once a week, select a source with a quality score of 32+ and set aside an hour or two reading their opinions/analysis columns. For bonus points, alternate between the left and right sides of the pyramid.

On a few hours a week you will quickly become, by far, one of the most well-informed people you know. You'll develop a balanced and even-minded view of world and local affairs (if you're currently stressed out about the state of the world, this will have a therapeutic effect). You'll rarely get sucked into clickbait, filter bubbles, etc. and when you do you'll recognize them quickly.

The opposite of this strategy is to spend several hours a day consuming "news" from Facebook, Twitter, and the "sources" on the far left and right of the pyramid. This is what the OP warns about. Abandon all hope ye who enter here. This will warp your view of reality and damage your mental health.

If you want to have a healthy body you need to select a diet of quality foods. If you want to have a healthy mind you need to select a diet of quality information. (In both cases, some light fasting can be beneficial too.)
A modern full-frame DSLR sensor has greater resolving power than normal medium-format film. You need a really, really good lens to get the full performance out of a >40MPix sensor. You still want to shoot handheld, so you want a really fast lens to minimise the impact of camera shake. Sharp/fast/light - pick any two. Zeiss, Sigma and Sony have broken the old Canon/Nikon duopoly with a range of phenomenally good but relatively heavy lenses that can exploit the full capabilities of modern sensors.

Casual customers who need a "good enough" camera are perfectly satisfied with their smartphone or a cheap kit lens. Aftermarket lenses are inevitably going to target the pixel-peeping crowd who care about every lp/mm, because they spend the big bucks on lenses. There's still a market for lightweight aftermarket lenses, but it's nowhere near as big or profitable as the market for monster glass.

I didn't read this as applying to 'on ramps' (we call them sliproads in the UK) that are lanes merging onto a highway/freeway/motorway. It wouldn't make sense under any circumstances for people on the highway to slow down and stop to let traffic join! I think this is referring to two 'equal' lanes of one road that become one — and, thus, merge. I don't know if they're unusual in other countries, but they're definitely a thing in the UK.
There's some of those in NL as well; I haven't learned any rules of those, so I can't be sure I can leave the roundabout on my exit if I'm in the inner lane, or if there's someone doing more than one exit on the outer / rightmost lane, making me cut them off.

This has caused me to shit a number of bricks in the UK, where two-lane roundabouts are a lot more common.

I've also had the pleasure of driving in multiple states. The zipper merges seems to be true everywhere that I've been. Even the purportedly terrible Orange County and LA drivers user zipper merging.

The one thing that I have noticed is that people are more likely to do early merges and zipper merges together. Well, not the same person, but I may see it in the same area. The early mergers usually don't block traffic waiting for opening. It's usually that they see the gap in traffic and take it immediately.

I think this is an interesting idea. The closest thing to this that I can think of is Terraform, but that's declarative, rather than automatic. I think what you're proposing would have a lot of challenges. Maybe you could make it work in the JS world with npm/maven; but I think it would be very difficult to make it automatic enough for a broad enough collection of languages and frameworks to be sufficiently useful. That said, I'd like to see where it goes, so good luck if you do attempt something.

Only a couple of minutes ago you were saying that effort was the measure, not resources or risk. Which are entirely different concepts. I don't really see the point of arguing if we don't even have common understanding of different words.
I don't think the article is taking into account focal length. A 600mm lens will weigh more than a 100mm lens. Maybe the mirrorless MFGs began with 50, 120, 200mm models and finally getting some quality 400 and 600mm lenses out there which are going to affect weight.

An expert read articles in his area of expertise and found them to be rubbish. Thus his anecdotal evidence is that the reporters get it wrong and so he shouldn't be so willing to accept as correct articles in areas outside of his expertise. If newspapers get it wrong in areas you know about then why should one think they get it right in areas you don't know about?
If I put in my time, if I learn valuable skills, if I make smart choices, if I choose to do something complex over something menial, then I would want to see myself doing better than people who did not choose to do those things, no matter how nice and kind they may be.

>The problem with early merges is that there's no way people that merge in are at highway speeds

If you drive anything reasonably modern and not grossly overloaded/under-powered you can plant your right foot and be going traffic speed (or close to it) by the end of all but the smallest on-ramps. Most traffic is not made up of box trucks and panel vans so there is no technical limitation that prevents zipper merging on most on-ramps most of the time. Going close to traffic speed makes it a lot easier to merge but a lot of people aren't comfortable doing it that way.
Decriminalisation isn’t the same as legalisation.

We discussed this recently: from Sandy Bridge to Kaby Lake , IPC grew 20%, power consumption dropped brutally. And by Kaby Lake progress has completely stalled due to Intel's inability to switch to 10nm allowing AMD to catch up.

> what's up with everyone everywhere saying "my God, drivers in [where I am] are the absolute worst"?

I think most of those people have not lived many places. My perception is that there are solid differences in driving culture between some cities. I found San Francisco traffic heavy, but with fairly courteous drivers. Vancouver same. Toronto was atrocious - lived there for ten years and never got used to the aggression and almost sociopathic attitude toward other drivers. Now I'm in Edmonton, where it's back to mostly OK - drivers here are a little more timid than other places but don't lean on their horn for every perceived slight or compromise the whole system to gain a 5 second advantage.

My completely unscientific take is that the most aggravating traffic comes when traffic gets dense enough to be a real irritant (I dunno - say maybe doubling a normal drive time between two destinations), but is still civil enough that most (say 90%) drivers are pretty polite and cooperative. That means that aggressive driving actually pays off, which makes it harder to take for people who don't zip past traffic in the turning lane only to forcefully merge back in.
You seem to be reading a lot into a comment that was very upfront and open about what they meant. SJW is a commonly used term that is well understood by most people.

Your claim that the poster is calling certain groups inferior is entirely unwarranted. Please argue against the points they are actually making.

In practice you don't mitigate against specific vulnerabilities at all, you mitigate against the very concept of a vulnerability. It would be foolish to assume that any given piece of software is free from vulnerabilities just because it is up to date, so you ask yourself "what if this is compromised?" and work from the premise that it can and will be.

Seeing your boss do it teaches you to become the boss.

Seeing your neighbor do it teaches you to switch jobs and work 1/3 as hard.

The reason this doesn't work is the same incentives people are discussing. If there are high-paying easy jobs, people will demand them and theoretically the wages will fall until demand for the job tapers off.

All of this is a bit unfair though, because "having a social safety net where poor people can have vacations and a happy life" is a lot different than the myopic, mean-spirited conservative reply of "but my neighbor is a lazy jerk who makes more than me!"
If it's legal, regulated and taxed, it's hardly illicit any more anyway!
Yes, I had that same impression reading that chart. The top marginal tax rate in California is 13.3% and the top federal rate is 37%, so the top total tax on earned income is 50.3%.
This rule exists in many European countries, but afaik it only applies to situations when the lane is blocked or stops there, so all cars have to move into one lane. It's totally OK however to not let into the lane people who're using an empty lane on purpose to pass by others and jump the queue. If the car has the road in front of it to continue moving, so they don't need to switch the lanes, you don't have to let them in.

From Wikipedia: "A prisoner was frequently warned that, unless he could produce information beyond name, rank, and serial number, such as the name of his unit and airbase, the Luftwaffe would have no choice but to assume he was a spy and turn him over to the Gestapo for questioning. For Scharff, this technique apparently worked quite well. In addition to initially preying upon his prisoner's fears of the infamous Gestapo, he portrayed himself as their closest ally in their predicament, telling them that while he would like nothing more than to see them safely deposited in a POW camp; his hands, he claimed, were tied unless the prisoner gave him the few details that he requested to help him properly identify the prisoner as a true POW."

So we have a "good cop, bad cop" technique, not just pure kindness.

Unfortunately this is standard MailChimp way of doing things ever since they screwed over paying customers and merged with Mandrill [1].

They are the opposite of a transparent organization - they are the GoDaddy of this business. (I was super pissed once they removed their status page..WTF). We hit these errors a few months ago with our clients and I put up a roadmap to move all of them off the terrible joke that Mandrill is, in under a month. None of my clients regretted the move.

I really don't miss anything about them and the market has caught up and they've been stagnant for way too long without any changes whatsoever and are still charging a premium for a prototype level quality of service.

If you're still using Mandrill in 2019, move out as soon as you can. I'm saying this with public interest as I had enough of these jokers.

Edit: I built a Mandrill clone built on SES, Phoenix/Elixir and hosted on Google AppEngine which is basically Google's managed hosting service. I moved everything there and it works pretty well, planning to open source it at some point. The awesome thing about this is I can work on some specific features my clients want that isn't available on vanilla Mandrill.

I chose this route because I lost a lot of money with Mandrill compensating my clients for their fault, so I calculated that the money I lost over time would have been the same amount if I had invested in building a Mandrill clone myself. I plan to open source it at some point.

As someone else has pointed out, Mastodon is only one implementation of ActivityPub/OStatus, and arguably not the best (especially if you prefer Elixir/Phoenix, but I digress).

I sometimes do sort-of-the-opposite which is, if I spot someone trying to join the road, and there's plenty of room ahead and behind me, I'll speed up ever-so-slightly to give them more chance of getting on. It's not often, and it's nuanced, but I like to think it's an efficiency positive!

Hi Florencetusk! Great question - have some of the answers on the FAQ but to quickly reiterate.

Immigration has become so politicized in the past few years that it's basically radioactive. Any notion of immigration restriction is inevitably conflated with white nationalism, fair or unfair.

The focus motors in modern lenses are trivially lightweight, incredibly fast and largely silent. Modern lenses are heavy because they've got a whole bunch of big, heavy glass elements held in precise alignment by a big, heavy metal chassis. Modern sensors have an order of magnitude more effective resolution than moderately fast 35mm color film, which has made lenses the image quality bottleneck. Lenses that were good enough for film or 12MPix sensors are visibly soft on a modern full-frame camera.
