> Cars turning right across another lane of traffic (the bike lane) is the problem.

It may vary by state, but at least here in Iowa cars are supposed to merge into the bike lane (as far as possible) before turning right, not turn across it. This is the same as any other situation where you have two lanes of traffic going the same direction—you start your right turn from the rightmost lane. Bikes are expected to pass turning cars on the left in the regular traffic lane, not on the right.

The article is right, but fails to explain why. Here is an abbreviated version of the argument within Enlightenment Now for the same basic point.

We are prone to believe that the ends justify the means. When the ends are infinite good, we therefore become willing to inflict unlimited harm to achieve them. In practice the infinite good people aimed for has proven to be debatable, but the harms inflicted have not.

The more right you feel your cause is, the more that this should worry you.

One question to ask is which antidepressant specifically? Not enough people ask this question on top of deciding to take antidepressants to begin with and the risk/reward profile isn't the same for all of them. I would personally steer away from the ones that have more severe side-effects or are more difficult to withdraw from until you've exhausted other options. I've personally used SSRIs (citalopram/celexa) to treat depression - I think it was slightly but not especially helpful for me. The side effects weren't too problematic, nor was coming off it. Some people actually do respond very well to antidepressants but any single antidepressant doesn't perform very well as a treatment on average.

Scott Alexander has a pretty good write up on things to try before and including antidepressants: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/06/16/things-that-sometimes-.... And also some background on antidepressants here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/05/chemical-imbalance/.

One very promising development in recent years which is missing from the above is using psychedelics for treating depression. This carries its own risks, including legal, but the risk/reward ratio based on early trials actually looks much better than for mainstream antidepressants. I intend to start microdosing soon for my own case. I'd recommend looking up Robin Carhart-Harris and/or Roland Griffiths research here if you're interested, or Michael Pollan's new book on this which I hear is good but I haven't read myself.

I have my own potentially relevant write up of a few different factors, solutions attempted and solutions to try here: http://black-dog-running.herokuapp.com/depression-things although that's more of a stream of consciousness and not very well written (and some of it is just personal and likely not interesting to others).

That is not true for all systems, a lot of attacks in most systems do not need code execution but do need privilege escalation.

Getting privilege escalation by definition means that _you are allowed to do stuff you couldn't_ which in itself is an attack vector.
Alcohol relaxes the muscles and tissues in your airway and causes more obstruction. People who normally do not snore at all will often snore after drinking alcohol. If you already have a problem with snoring or apnea, it will become worse after drinking.
> The reason we "ended up with this turning right at a red light rule" is simply that it is more efficient

For whom? Drivers? Is any consideration for those who cannot or do not drive to be sacrificed at the Altar of the Automobile because cars?

> This negation of the common-sense logic found in marine navigation is why our streets are always reported as "becoming more dangerous".

The major difference I find between those who pilot boats (and aircraft) vs those who drive is how serious the former take their responsibility.

I met a UPS pilot once who we got to talking to and he said that he doesn't drink anything alcoholic within 12 hours of flying. That's clearly more precautious than he needs to be but this anecdote highlights the point of how serious this guy took his responsibility.

Compare this to drivers who routinely:

- Speed dangerously

- Drive while intoxicated

- Text or otherwise get distracted by their phones while driving

- Drive in spite of medical advice to the contrary [1]

- Run red lights

- Speed up when lights turn orange (knowing they'll be red when they pass through the intersection) as some lie to themselves that they couldn't stop (as a pedestrian I can nearly always tell lights are changing because I hear cars accelerate).

- Don't maintain their vehicles

All while being at the helm of two tonnes of metal hurtling down a highway at 85mph (with a speed limit of 55mph), all while tens of thousands of people die on the roads every year in the US.

A defense of some of these is "what choice do they have (but to drive)?" Well, that's the result of a society that is so totally geared towards car ownership.

So excuse me if "efficiency" for drivers isn't my primary concern.

Kindles are not phones, the parent said "I want a phone that I can read books on, and spend quality time with..."

Actually, the analogy does apply in the general to way the EU works, and your explanation is the exact opposite of how it usually works.

The general rule of thumb is "as long as you meet the EU criteria, your product/service/etc is legal in all EU states", removing the need for figuring out red tape for each individual country. So if you have, say, a perfume that you want to sell, then as long as you follow the EU restrictions for which ingredients you are and are not allowed to use you should have access to the entire EU market. Before the EU existed you would have to find out the legal restrictions for each country separately.

Contrary to its reputation, when it comes to international markets the EU has saved companies tons of money in terms of administration due to reducing red tape.
Do companies actually fix the bug/vuln you identify? If so, I’m amazed that they even do that, and I would accept that as a “good enough” win.

Regarding disclosure, although this sounds like a lame position, I would wait for the courts to decide. There are a lot of cases winding their way through the Circuit Courts in the US that will give us a framework for disclosing and when to do it regardless of The actions of any Federal agency.

If they don’t agree to fix the bug, by all means “name and shame”. Document all your interactions with them though.

Also if it’s medical data remember HIPAA has a breach notice that applies in all 50 states so there is that.

Also also, after the bug has been fixed there is nothing to stop you from writing a blog post and letting the “media” pick it up naturally as part of the news cycle.

While I won't be an early adopter for this, I think the concept is great.

The things I'll be watching out for if this takes off:

1) How does the screen holdup in daily use? Does the Infinity Flex Display get work out or glitchy at the hinge after 10,000 folds?

2) Will the device get thinner? This is currently the size of two phones stacked on top of each other. I can't imagine carrying that in my pocket long-term.

3) What's it like to actually use? Is it comfortable to hold when fully opened?

Other than that, I could see this being pretty awesome, personally.

Yep, same. I believe there's been studies on these kinds of things, like the insanity of jaywalking laws as pedestrians tend to be safest when they cross streets when they don't have right of way as they're far more likely to be aware of their surroundings and cautious, particularly when the stakes for the pedestrian are much higher than the driver (ie an accident will tend to end worse for the pedestrian than the car or the driver).

I played club water polo when I was college. We would have tournaments at neighboring universities and we once visited a pool that was apparently sanitized with bromine instead of chlorine (The bromine pools had a much saltier taste). We were warming up for a game and someone noticed that peeing in the pool actually turned the water green, and we all started doing it. The lifeguard saw us all huddled by the edge and asked us to stop.
Nordic social democracy isn’t a utopian idea, though. It’s a progressive idea and an ambitious idea but it only really peeks out slightly from the normal range of market economies with welfare states, especially within Europe.

Feudalism and slavery were awful, but don’t come close to the concentrated human misery inflicted by the utopian projects of the 20th century.

When I saw Infosys I knew what was up. The last company I was at was an IT sweatshop and I was a naive college grad. You couldn’t be in IT and be called a developer or software engineer, those positions were only for India. I could write a blog post about the crap I saw, not sure why I stayed so long.

Anyway, I had exactly one Indian developer I trusted. She wouldn’t cover for other Indians bullshit, called people out, and generally asked questions. She would usually do the first line interview and then it would come to me. The clear amount of absolutely fabricated resumes by Capgemini, Accenture, Infosys, and the like was staggering.

One person couldn’t answer questions and then hung up due to a supposed internet connection issue. 5 minutes later they dial back in with near perfect answers. Another was clearly a Project Manager but had develper stuff all over their resume. Most were just complete BS.

We wanted to try coding exercises but the India dev said they would get someone to do it for them. Glad I left that place last September! Best decision I’ve ever made.
They have been working on this for at least 6 years, possibly longer. They have created a unique display and display substrate that is fantastically thin.

This is all you need. Block access to all addresses that have nothing to do with app vendor, not just for the sake of ads, but also to prevent your data leaking to data brokers.

I have reviewed the code, if you pay the author "donation", all the ads he uses are disabled.

You can also do much more, but you need to root your phone. Xposed framework, minmin guard, xprivacylua (fake information about your phone to the application, from phone number to location (I am regulary on south pole)), hide root,...

And don't be afraid to root your phone, it only means that you have taken control for YOUR device.

Under the license raj/socialism, before Indian opened doors for liberalization, the only way for 99% of Indians to make a good living was to get a government job. As Indian population boomed, the competition for even sweeper jobs (which provide retirement, decent salary, even free housing) became fierce. So, the government started a new rule: every candidate who applies for any govt job has to pass 10th grade (these exams are conducted by every state government).

This has led to new minimum for anyone who wants a job: pass 10th grade exam. Hence, cheating. Why do insist on 10th grade for sweeper jobs? Why insist on 10th grade for army soldiers?

This is like in America, where every one insists on BA/BS. Then you see lots of shitty colleges who are making like bandits through loans backed by the government.

No, in some cases code execution is not the goal at all. A privesc can mean admin access to a system you didn't previously have access to, it can mean access to logs or a direct tap into network data in some systems. You often don't need arbitrary code exec for that since its features built into the apps or the systems hosting them.
Manhattan definitely has this problem. It's a pedestrian city where most people walk and take the subway everywhere. Meanwhile, there's a ton of cars everywhere, mostly Ubers and people driving through to get to New Jersey, that act like the whole island is their personal highway. It's super dangerous, like putting a gun range in the middle of a playground.
This specific case was taken and argued by the Institute for Justice (https://ij.org), a civil liberties legal charity, that has a goal of addressing exactly this problem.

The original civil forfeiture practices were put in place at the height of "the war on drugs" in the 80's as I recall. The rationale was you had drug dealer types that were successfully evading prosecution on the tougher criminal standards of proof while also flaunting the wealth they obtained from their drug related businesses. So the idea was you could have a civil process with a lower standard of proof than the criminal ones with which could punish them.

Of course, as the old saying goes, "the path to hell is paved with good intentions." and you get cases like this or worse even.

I contribute to the Institute for Justice for just this reason.
I would modify this to omit your "boss". If you think you are being approached to commit IP theft or a crime use a voice phone to call the chief legal officer's office and ask to immediately speak to a corporate attorney. Relate the incident to them and follow their instructions. Speak to no one else first.

The reason to omit all others is that at this point you don't know several things: is there an already existing investigation that you are now part of? Is your boss or anyone you work with implicated or suspected in it? And so on.

The only other thing you may wish to consider is if you want to discuss it with your personal attorney first. If you think you may have some legal exposure (it is very difficult to know, as a lay person, wether you do or not) you may want expert advice before informing the company. In any case proceed quickly, do not delay in informing the company unless so advised by your attorney.
Of course people are free to practice medicine on themselves. They are free to make up their own minds on what they think is right/wrong. They ought not be free, in my opinion, to unduly influence others. At least not necessarily free to spout off whatever ideas they think are correct. Of course this quickly gets into grey areas and situations where the right amount of suppression of ideas gets tricky. It’s OK for government to get involved in this too. For instance we don’t allow peddlers of snake oil to make whatever claims they desire to make. This is a good thing.

I’ll restate my point in a different way. When government is deciding what types of scientific information peddling ought to be banned or regulated it’s best for our leaders to consult the experts of that area.
