It might be longer than five years, but the market has massive potential. I've owned a bunch of headsets, and I demo them to anyone who wants to try one. The reactions go like this: initial shock and awe (more and more so as the tech has improved), followed by childlike glee and fascination. I've shown skeptics an Apollo 11 recreation, telling them to just try it for five minutes, and no one has spent less than an hour yet.

They come out amazed and wondering why these aren't everywhere. Then they ask how much it costs (~$4000) and their excitement vanishes.

You can get a setup for much less than that now, but it's blurrier, slower, uglier, more nauseating, and lacks important features like finger tracking. It won't be smartphone-level for a long time, if ever, but once the tech reaches affordable levels, I'm convinced there will be a larger audience.

Doesn't sound that weird to me. It's sensible to iron out the core gameplay and make sure the game's worth pursuing before focusing on persistent user accounts.
Smart LLVM #1: Optimizing range checks
This has come up before. My theory is this:

Tabs are great if you work by yourself. If you work with others, you need more complicated rules to be followed like "tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment."

So...

My theory is that coders using spaces have worked in more places and/or larger places, which tend to end up paying more.
> "I don't think so" is not any kind of improvement there.

"I don't think so" is not about the core discussion, but a reflection of different interpretations to how you interpreted the statement. I then went on to explain what I meant, including how to bring the discussion back to concrete arguments, rather than making up my own interpretation (I don't like the term straw-man, which implies a bad-faith argument). You have a specific set of assumptions, which I take to be in good faith. I read the arguments and understand that there are a different set of assumptions to make (vis a vis different interpretations).

I'm sorry if you don't find it constructive in whole or in part.
Thanks for you comment, and we certainly respect your opinion. Being conscious of the impact of our device on groups that have been historically target by police is something that is on our mind a lot.

I think it is important to recognize that the way drug impaired driving is tackled today is very subjective. Police administer an field sobriety test that involves walking in a straight line, standing on one foot, and touching their nose. They are then able to arrest the individual solely based on their opinion regarding impairment, which is susceptible to their personal biases. Our device can take out a lot of the guesswork and help eliminate biases from the equation.

Also, our device it not assisting police it arresting people for owning or even selling cannabis, just using it before driving. Not only that, but by detecting only recent use, it will reduce the instances of frequent users being improperly charged due to blood tests with large windows of detection.
Scientific measurements or it didn’t happen. I think wax underperforms lube, prove me wrong.
What button do I hold down on an iPhone to activate Google Assistant from the home screen?
Please cite actual statistics and studies that prove cannabis impairment danger.
But all it takes is a 1/50 shot to sink your business or overlook a key feature. That's why it's a real thing, and a 98% success rate is not very good at all.
In what way can you compare the US to other countries fairly? That's like comparing Microsoft to small businesses and showing that the small businesses have lower bug counts and more efficient processes. Well of course! It's not easy to run a huge company as efficiently as a small one.

Does smoking marijuana impair driving skills though? The assumption is yes... but is that actually the case?

Maybe the kid in the story you linked crashed due to his speeding to reach home by curfew and not because he smoked marijuana that night.
If I'm reading the chart correctly, it seems that Go developers who use spaces rather than tabs actually earn more? That's quite surprising.
I think Martin Luther King explained the rationale for civil disobedience very eloquently in his letter from the Birmingham jail.[1]

Ultimately his and other protests led to legislation in the form of the civil rights act.[2]

I'm not saying don't confront them... but that policies aren't necessarily the answer. The answer is actual engagement from a rational perspective.
That's a fair point, but I'd argue that gender differences and racial differences are, well, different. There really are salient biological differences between males and females, whereas the differences between blacks and whites, while real, are purely social constructs. If you judge a prospective counselor by the color of their skin you are IMHO part of the problem.

This is not to say that you shouldn't judge a counselor by their behavior after you've started working with them. But I think it's possible for a person with black skin to be just as insensitive to the concerns of black people as someone with white skin, e.g. Clarence Thomas.
Out of curiosity, the statutory hourly rate times what? Is there a limit on the number of billable hours that can entail?

The cost of the "best lawyers" doesn't (always/just) mean paying one lawyer an exorbitant amount, it means paying a large team of in-house lawyers, or large legal firm, to spend thousands or tens of thousands of man hours on a case.
tabs don't work when you visually align code. e.g.

some.method(param,
param2,
param3)

The above doesn't work if the creator of the code uses a different tab width than I do. If you want it to, you need to use an IDE that automatically recognizes the difference between indentation and alignment... which is frankly too much trust in others if you care about it.

If a default install of an IDE (including vIM) will screw up your code.... you might consider rethinking your strategy. :-)
Right, but we're talking in the context of a specific action to be silent, in which the specific action of silence occurs when someone is willing to talk about any other seemingly sensitive matter.

I'm confused when we started to generalize to all silences. Sometimes I'm silent because I'm drinking water, or I'm asleep...
Wow, that's weird. How did they treat people who didn't have kids? Were they seen as kid-haters too if they didn't volunteer?
> The US has zero excuse for brutal policing.

The police are brutal because the civilians are brutal. It's a two way street. Has a Norwegian police officer ever died at the hands of an angry driver? And no, it's not always "cause guns" (though it certainly exacerbates things). In Colorado, a civilian (hunter) killed another civilian with a crossbow on the side of a highway after a fit of road rage. It could have easily been an officer (and indeed officers frequently die at the hands of civilians)
Say what you will about performance, but Rails continues to be the most productive framework for building a database backed web application or (non-trivial) REST API. It's secure by default, includes optional peripherals (ActiveJob, ActiveStorage, ActiveMailbox, etc.) to handle most common tasks and has excellent documentation.

Congrats to the Rails team on this release and for continuing to plug away after all these years.

This is one of those correlation != causation articles. Probably something symptomatic as you describe.
Only if you're allowed to test the devices in question, and the courts believe your experts over the manufacturers.

This doesn't prove my point, but manufacturers do aggressively fight against researchers identifying flaws in their products. Given the high stakes (+ the fact this isn't a security issue, really), it seems like a major smell to me.

There are reports out there of people convicted, who are blocked from examining the devices used as the primary piece of evidence against them.

Also, after years of effort to discredit breathalyzer results, convictions ARE being overturned regularly.

Facebook Marketplace: The Dark Side of E-Commerce
Facebook Inc. (FB) created an online flea market where users not only see all the bicycles, bird houses and BMWs for sale nearby, but also the names, profile photos and general locations of buyers and sellers.
It is so popular that more than one in three people in the U.S. use it monthly, according to Facebook. Because Facebook started as a platform for people who knew each other, its Marketplace—at least in theory—operates on the notion that on the other side of every online dealis a real person with a network of friends and a social-media history.
But the experiences of many people who use the marketplace suggest that creates a false sense of security and a fertile ground for scams or misconduct—on both ends of transactions. Some buyers say Facebook sellers change prices on items, list stolen or fake products, or are scammers operating under multiple profiles. Sellers say they are sometimes dealing with unreasonable offers, fraudulent payments or no-shows at scheduled meetups...

Yeah I wasn't necessarily thinking full movies or things like that. More like things that maybe skirt the line for fair use.
You're still kinda missing the point. It doesn't matter what your coworker did or didn't do. It's not about them. You bringing up that point again kinda proves that you shouldn't have a seat at "the table". What do we mean by "the table"? Usually it's an active voice in discussions on these things. Do everyone a favor and start listening to people. Really listen. Become empathetic. Don't try to fix things, because you don't understand the problem. Start understanding that you don't understand the problem.

It sure must suck to get yelled at by someone, especially when it's confusing or doesn't make sense. Want to know what's worse than getting yelled at? Getting shot by the authorities.
VR is a fundamentally different technology than both 3d TV and Glass (which is very successful in industry, and AR in general will be very valuable in those applications going forward).

There's a 1300-acre photovoltaic plant in San Benito County that sits on a 5000-acre wildlife preserve. It's a bit of a natural experiment in that area.
Yes, in an ideal world we would do that. But by the time we come up with a perfect test that can be done roadside by police to determine driving impairment, that has very few false positives and holds up in court, we'll most likely have self driving cars and this won't be an issue anyway.

I understand that everyone reacts differently to different drugs. Dale Earnhardt can probably be a little tipsy and still drive better than me. But even if you are an above average driver, it's still immoral (and I think should be illegal) to use substances that will increase your risk of killing someone else in a car accident, even if you are having a small amount of those substances that just brings you down to average driver levels.

Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death. It's an inherently risky activity to be doing every day. But we've structured our society in a way that makes it unavoidable. Given that it's dangerous even for sober people, I don't think we should be giving people the right to drive under circumstances that make it even more dangerous.

If there were no alternatives to twitbooktubeit perhaps you would have a point. However, if you don't like the policies of twitter, go to reddit. If you don't like the policies of reddit go to voat. If you don't like all the terrible people on voat, host a forum on a VPC instance.

Your position is basically "I think platforms should be compelled to host every bit of nonsense emitted by every user." The freedom is provided by the multitude of choices!

I think the idea you can make rules for speech that are impartial and universally accepted is an insane idea which shows no signs of being tractable [1]. Despite attempts to quantify speech, every moderation decision is arbitrary at some level, and preserving choice of moderators seems much more important than arguing over rules.

"The culinary field may have its own sociopolitical issues, but they certainly aren’t discussed often in the workplace, largely because there simply is too much work to do for the job."

Are you certain about this? I was under the impression that kitchens had a large reputation for foul-mouth, offensive behavior and attitudes, including along political lines.
Unlike the security researcher, I do have access to multiple 787s as I am one of many people responsible for maintaining them.

I'm obviously not going to attempt to exploit the firmware on an aircraft for obvious reasons, but the security researcher's notion that you can "pivot" from the in flight entertainment to anything to do with aircraft operation is pure fantasy.

These systems are entirely separate, including the electricity that controls the systems.

This guy is preying on individuals' lack of knowledge about aircraft mechanics in order to promote himself.

The only problem with your argument here is the fact that Ford doesn't sell cars, including the Focus, in the USA any more. So I'm not sure what locale you're talking about, but it doesn't reflect reality in America right now.

The 4800lb Thunderbird buyers aren't buying cars; they're buying SUVs and crossovers these days.
In fact I saw a big drop for a few months, since then the price keeps creeping up. Before DF, I saw $1.25 a liter, after he got in it fell to $0.98 a liter and since then it has slowly increased. Right now it is $1.19 where I am I expect it will be back to $1.25 before winter.
> I understand I think when you have a monopoly over a communication medium common carrier laws should apply even without legislation.

You can very easily eschew the V and run your spa against a Rails API.
This is why the world will never make peace. If we can’t even agree on something silly as tabs vs spaces.
You can also compare performance on other standard impairment measurements techniques, such as the standard field sobriety test, or driving simulators. There are a lot of studies looking at the effect of cannabis on these tests, although a lot of them suffer from really low doses. It is hard for researchers to get their hands on real world doses of cannabis for their studies because the drug is still schedule 1.

Absolutely not. It's a major, and valid concern against censorship and is shared by many academics. Here is an article from a professor at Harvard Law

>She insists, however, that the cure of censorship is worse than the disease of hate speech. “Even worse than speech’s potential power to harm individuals and society,” she maintains, “is government’s potential power to do likewise, by enforcing ‘hate speech’ laws. Predictably, this elastic power will be used to silence dissenting ideas, unpopular speakers, and disempowered groups.”

I've been in professional workplaces for about 25 years now. Early in my career, I was even in a few offices where I was the only male. You'd be surprised how raunchy office conversation can get when a mostly female office forgets you're there. I've also worked in nearly all male environments and it was similar. IMHO it's not nearly as bad today, people are just more sensitive from my own experience.

The problem is the inability to stay calm and interact with people of differing views.

edit: I find it interesting, I started working in the early 90's at a time when a lot of office environments were shifting mindsets. When smoking/drinking at work was starting to become widely unacceptable, when social interactions between men and women were starting to be widely discouraged. I think a lot of things are better, and a lot of things are worse. But it was never as "professional" as some people seem to think.
I don't understand this reasoning, I can set my editor to show x-spaces at the beginning of a line as however many I want. So I can make code indented with 2 spaces look like it was indented with 4.
Very true, but something is still askew - the same will happen for women, minorities, etc.. Any time a large group and a small group, technically the small group tends to get less pay! What's going on? (I totally concede to your point, but now I'm left confused and wondering!)

Edit - ahh, hencq has a reasonable explanation for that.
The officer should still have discretion here to let someone go if they don't feel the person is impaired. But giving them a number means they can't use that discretion the opposite way, e.g. arresting someone because "they seem like they're driving high". I imagine that kind of discretion would disproportionately affect minorities, so I see this as a win.
Traditionally, your kids work to support you when they grow up. In rich countries this doesn't happen because it has been financialized into pensions, but in the rest of the world it's very much a reality.

"There really are salient biological differences between males and females, whereas the differences between blacks and whites, while real, are purely social constructs."

All that hair splitting about electric cars is just noise.
I mean, I think that colleges are not responsible for the mental health of their students, at least to the degree it has been demanded the last few years - the whole 'safe space' concept has gotten out of control. The whole point of college is to learn and be exposed to new ideas, some of which will be uncomfortable and you're supposed to learn to deal with that. Colleges aren't completely indemnified from how students are exposed but the recent demands have been "don't expose me to things I'll disagree with".
> It's a major theme of the novel that they all already have the things they claim to need.

But that still fits the message. They needed to learn that they have what they're looking for.

(which isn't to say I have any opinion about whether it's a crackpot theory or not)
I'm not sure I understand your point. There are lots of things that impair driving that can't be tested and are therefore hard to address. Some of them are really bad. Therefore, we should not focus on things that impair driving that can be tested?
>Weed is also in other forms like edibles too which are quite potent. I have seen many people who have smoked excessive amounts, or had way too many edibles. I have personally working in the event medical field dealt with countless people who are puking and unconscious due to weed.

Every now and then you also hear that a law enforcement officer got high and called 911 panicking, googling "cop calls 911 high" brings up a couple of Canadian officers and a Michigan officer on the first page.

facepalm

If you can let that sort of judgement slip, you think there aren't people out there getting baked and going for a drive, or now that you can easily vape away just driving down the street vaping?

A friend recently passed away and after the funeral a bunch of us went back to the house they grew up in to just hang out and talk about old times. Just about everyone there was getting extremely high, forgetting what they were saying mid sentence, taking the better part of a half hour to scratch off a single scratch off ticket, having the goofy slouch where your head goes way out in front of you... and then leaving, in their vehicles still quite high.

I mean, if you can't have a conversation without completely forgetting what you were saying in the middle of a word... you can't tell me that isn't going to affect your driving. You might just sit at a stop sign for 5 minutes because you forgot it was your turn to go, but you also might be like "hey I'm gonna check Facebook" while you're driving down the interstate.

If I had to choose, I'd rather be on the road with drunk drivers than high drivers. People that are drunk often have slowed reaction time, people that are high can easily entirely forget what they are doing and start doing something else.
Those who prefer tabs have clearly not experienced the nightmare of collaborating with devs who were using spaces.
It's a smokescreen because it ignores the history of computer science and software engineering. Which is to say statistically, pre-1984 there were a lot of women getting into computer science and the field in general had a much larger proportion of female software engineers. [1]

This directly debunks the claims that women avoid software development for biological reasons unless they suddenly had a massive biological shift in 1984. It's a silly argument often used as a way of painting all women as somehow being less technologically inclined and one I am no stranger to.
