there's plenty of literature proving that individual drivers are worse when they're high. check ramaekers' publications.

maybe you can hypothesize some weird situation where individual drivers are worse, but overall traffic is unaffected. but individual users should still want to avoid driving high, as lower overall traffic deaths will not make you feel better about accidentally killing someone.
Rails just became boring technology. It works. The hype is gone, but it continues chugging along happily and is generally an understood problem.

So where does using the "tabs to spaces" tool lie here?

I technically press the tab button but my edit inserts 4 spaces.
This is exceedingly off-topic so feel free to flag, but real question, I happened to be browsing the news and saw some very odd written characters in the large background here https://www.vox.com/2019/8/16/20807099/trump-tariffs-china-t...

This meeting is reportedly happening in shanghai, but those symbols look very vaguely like extremely ancient chinese and not remotely like anything modern. Can anyone explain them?
There's a big difference between getting your first phone at 18 when 90% of your friends aren't on social media, and getting your first phone at 8 when 90% of your friends are on social media. You really can't figure out what the difference is today compared to 10 years ago?

I think a big part is just technical debt acquired through the years, when you are just starting you hack some version of the site that works because you need to grow fast, but that's not scalable, so a part of becoming a big company is to "refactor" or "re-architect" your app to either more modern designs or in some cases into a completely different app (On the inside)
While I agree with you personally, I could see the counterargument of: A tab is always a tab, and I can tweak my IDE to render a tab as however many spaces I like (2, 4, 8, etc) without changing the code.

Different places change at different rates. One thing that will happen, however, is that as some of the big coal customers switch, the economies of scale for coal production change, and it becomes even more expensive. So, coal will eventually become too pricey even for places like Poland, even though "Poland" does not bring to mind "summer skies where solar would be competitive" (I may be biased as I've only ever visited Poland around Christmastime).
This is a manufacturing defect. Contact Tesla service and they'll fix it. I had some areas of the factory tint on the moonroof that has holes in it and they replaced the moonroof without any hassles.
Those salaries are painfully low. I started at 75k. Who's making less than 50k and in such great numbers? This must be non US jobs? I question this data.
"I imagine most “traditional” industries don’t have issues mentioned above very often."

Finance is a well-known boys' club. Law? How could insurance companies not have the same issues, given that redlining and offering different rates to different races was only made illegal a few decades ago?

Are you sure pastry and bakeries don't have culture war issues? I was under the impression there's been plenty of culinary debate where chefs with the greatest respect were always male chefs.
Your points reminded me of this:

A naturalist account of the limited, and hence reasonable,
effectiveness of mathematics in physics

Lee Smolin

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.03733

Also the book on which the article is based "The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time" is a physics book but I thought it has huge relevance to programming live systems (as opposed to e.g. compilers). The big difference between what we have to do when programming rather than when we are doing mathematics is dealing with time. (But that's what makes it so interesting - and frustrating)
Do you know one keyboard on the market today that has LE Secure Connections feature enabled?
The US civil war was a good thing. The American Revolution was a good thing. Bangladesh’s independence war, the revolution that created the Portuguese Republic, the Finnish civil war, the Turkish war of independence, etc. Lots of democracies exist today because of people with guns.
Racial profiling is still applicable/relevant in another form, yes. But that's a different thing from 'war on drugs' per se.

Legalization has taken away the police's ability to target for consumption, and removed their ability to ruin people's lives for it. That's huge. And the gov't will now be providing a way for people to strike old possession crimes from their record, apparently.
Do you really think the US citizens can win a war against the DOD? With handguns?
I have seen and heard plenty of examples from the criminal justice system where fully impartial prosecutors, under no appearance of conflict, press forward on weak evidence and weaker investigation. So no, it's not mind-boggling. The source of the officer's salary raises an eyebrow for sure. Not going to defend that, but I'm also not going to rely on a breathless and fundamentally one-sided article to explain it.

For those interested in how a serious and meritorious bad-faith claim still generates exposure for the reporting party, despite all the immunities and whatnot, see Maxwell v. AIG.[1]. The sources in the article I'm sure are aware of the potential for huge extracontractual awards, and I'm just not impressed that angle also is not discussed in the article.

In a lot of cases though, you can't change what a tab is (consider looking at code on GitHub).
Pointing out that statistical variance between female and male hiring is influenced by behavioral differences with men and women isn't misogyny. In a free society, where men and women are encouraged to take whatever career they want, men and women tend to choose careers in differing ratios. Unless you think women should be forced against their will to be software developers?
I have. Loved the service, but I did get a chuckle out of the little things that broke precisely because they were overengineered unnecessarily.
There's probably some truth to this, although it's not as absolute as you say.

The obvious solution is higher taxes for the wealthy. Wealthy people have higher climate impacts across the board, from increased meat consumption to larger houses, to first class flights and private jets.
Yes, you don't see people with this attitude towards the HK protest. There is a completely different standard when it comes to issues of race in the US.
Do you know how "The Sense of Style" compares to "The Elements of Style" ?
These indulgences account for the most modest percentage versus other things that could be deemed "wasteful", unless we're throwing relativism out the window.
Coal is really, really bad from an environmental standpoint, even compared to natural gas, even with the methane issue factored in. Coal is really bad.
Damore was fired because a shocking number of people apparently have a fundamental reading comprehension problem.

Nope.

DES also used 56 bit keys. It was crackable by the NSA the moment it was introduced in 1975. And by the 2000s, anyone could crack it.

Even back then, the choice of 56 bits had nothing to do with speed. Chips were more than capable of handling 128 bit keys even in 1975. It's 2019 and we're still proposing 56 bit key lengths? Wow.
Keurig's at-home soda machine was doomed from the start (2016)
It's sad that there are genuinely people that have this kind of reaction to an article about a reduction in coal plants. Taking care of the environment isn't some weird competition, what would anyone be gloating about and to whom....
Really?

I'm not sure where the debate would lie; falsetto is a clearly identifiable physical voice register that, without deliberate training, sounds quite different from the usual 'modal' voice. Futhermore, there is generally no 'in-between'--it's either one register or the other. Some singers can switch between the two without audible seams, but it's very difficult.
Brain.fm works extremely well.
The way private label grocery works is very different. Private label CPG products are developed through partnerships between the retailer themselves, consultancies like Daymon Worldwide (now owned by Acosta), and producers (often called copackers in this instance). Depending on how commodified the product is (like canned corn or frozen vegetables), it might be simply a matter of white labeling and sourcing through reverse auctioning. Sometimes the retailer will work on the product development lifecycle to create unique offerings.

Generally speaking, these copackers do not pay the retailers to get into their store, because the retailer is paying them for these products, and the retailer is possibly sourcing at least the packaging if not the development on their own. Whereas Amazon acts as a platform, retailers actually purchase and take possession of the product that they have had some hand in creating. Essentially, PL (private label) products start much further back in the supply chain. By the time they reach store shelves (even by the time they reach the warehouse), the supplier has already made their profit. You would rarely if ever have a brand in a store that gets upgraded (or downgraded depending on the power of the retailer's brand) to private label due to sales considerations or lobbying on the copacker's part. If anything, the retailer might take on lesser known brands the copacker is trying to promote as part of their sales agreement, even though they could be the same exact product that is in the retailer's branded packaging.

Speaking to Sam's Choice specifically, as it relates to Amazon's Choice:
- Sam's Choice is only tied implicitly to its retailer (at least as far as Walmart is concerned, at Sam's Club I'm sure the connection is far clearer). You need knowledge about the organization (or to read the packaging) to understand that this is a private label product. Amazon's Choice is much more explicit.
- Amazon's Choice is a designation more than a brand. As far as I know, the products retain their own branding and identity. Most customers understand that private label products are not manufactured by the retailers themselves, but if you want to find out that Sams' Choice (and much of the private label soda and soda adjacent products category in the majority of food retail) is actually manufactured by Cott Beverage, you need to do some research.
- The idea that Sam's Choice was "created" by Cott is kind of strange, though I can't dispute it directly. PL brands like Sam's Choice (and Great Value, Walmart's other PL brand) are owned by the retailer and usually entail working across multiple categories, which means working with multiple suppliers. It's possible that "Sam's Choice" the brand was created early enough during the evolution of the PL ecosystem that Cott coined the name of the brand (even though its almost a complete copy of President's Choice, the PL brand of the Canadian supermarket chain Loblaw), but to consider a PL product a "third party" product is very strange to me. Cott doesn't have any claim to Sam's Choice products that are produced in non-beverage categories.
>this is about making roads safer.

It doesn't even have to be about roads, "Hey Gary, Bob needs to do some shirt laundry if you know what I mean"

Steve: "Bob, can you come see me in my office please"

has general conversation with Bob about performance and the local Sportsball team, determines he thinks Bob is high

Steve: "Bob, before I let you go back out there on the assembly line operating that dangerous equipment, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to blow into this device. You smell like you've been out there dabbing for an hour straight and I asked you what you thought about last night's Sportsball game and you just smiled and nodded for a solid 5 seconds before asking what we were talking about".

It can also be used in prisons/jails that have work release programs, where residents are released during the day to work leading up to their release and have to come back in the evening. They already do breathalyzer and random urinalysis on these folks.

Similarly parole officers could benefit from this.

Hospitals could also use it to determine if a patient is under the influence of THC instead of something else that may cause complications with their treatment in the ER and if this can be used for THC I suspect it could have other recreational drug applications too which again, will benefit treatment in the ER when patients aren't always willing to volunteer what they are on for fear of legal implications.

Honestly, so far I am convinced that VR will be the next 3D TV or google glass... a fad.

It will make users go "wow" at first, then they toy a little with it, then recognize that there just isn't that much great stuff you can actually do with it (as a recreational user) especially considering how clumsy and annoying the gear is and will remain for the foreseeable future.

Sure, it will still have a following, and there still will be current and new special purposes where the technology actually makes sense, but I cannot imagine it will see true wide adoption on smartphone or even TV scale.
Typically, we hold only one full-time job, through which we acquire all the means of our subsistence. As other commenters have pointed out, this includes--crucially--our health insurance, from which we derive all of our health-needs.

As such, it's the employers' exclusive responsibility to accommodate our health needs. We do not have adequate access, otherwise.
I think you mean mature.
The cool thing about multi-database feature that's coming to Rails is setting like

>config.active_record.database_selector = 2.seconds

Rails provides a way to make sure that at-least for first two seconds after the write operation, read requests are handled by the write instance. This assumes that your read replica will get updated within 2 seconds with the live data.

How cool is that

People ... or at least, the demographic attractive to advertisers, won't watch endless hours of dreck. That's what's streaming on OTA broadcast now, and the audience and advertisers are in an ever accelerating race to the bottom. YouTube knows network effects and virtual and vicious feedback cycles.

There is a wealth of content on YouTube, including a surprising amount of niche content. But there are a limited number of very high value creators -- a circumstance that's always the case. High-level creativity takes talent, time, some degree of money, and a network that's conducive to it -- which has an audience that can, will, and does find and view it.

Right now, that dynamic plays strongly to YouTube's benefit, though there are some extant alternatives -- Vimeo specialises in higher-quality content, Facebook and Reddit offer social "friends-and-family" or short-content platforms, and there are emerging platforms such as PeerTube which offer federated hosting options.

Mind: PeerTube presently has significant limitations, and I was discussing the issue with a video producer earlier this week:

If you want to know about the 99.5% quantile, then of course you have to look at that, not the 95% quantile. (Note that "quintiles" refers to the 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80% quantiles,but you can look at whatever quantile you like.)

Your comment about "confidence interval error bars" revealing outliers makes no sense. I think you still don't understand that a confidence interval (for some parameter estimate, maybe the mean) is not a description of the distribution of the data, but rather is about the distribution of an estimate obtained from the data - not at all the same thing.

Running a test 1 billion times certainly would reduce the confidence interval for the mean, even if 5 million of those are 100x outliers.

>I would not be particularly happy to find out that someone I was messaging on an Android phone could easily just send up any images I send them to a public site.

There may have been a misunderstanding here.

I was referring to an android phone sending me (on iPhone) hosted images as a fallback rather then sending them via MMS (lossy) or google photos (bloated).
Your view of this is so short sighted and conceited I'd almost say you're an Apple shill, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. We do have to criticize corporations, because of this thing called "regulatory capture." Billion dollar entities like Apple have way more political power than you or I do, and they're using it to protect their fiefdoms while suppressing voter choice to ensure we can't do anything about it. Criticize your representative? Do you mean the one Apple/Google/Exxon/Raytheon spent millions of dollars getting elected? I think they may have what you call a "conflict of interest."
Gonna need a source for that, very interested. DDG gave me nothing
Yes, as I said, the kids are just picking up patterns from adults.

Ultimately this is a larger societal problem of exclusion. America has taken it to its extreme, with racial segregation, redlining and the prison industrial complex. This iMessage nonsense is just a small and relatively benign symptom of the fundamental problem with America.

As a left-libertarian who believes in inclusion, I'm sure not going to encourage this with my own kids.
Oh I agree with you, I just think linking to an example of a teenager who was late getting home and got into an accident when he had been smoking marijuana earlier as if it were supporting evidence makes our position look cheesy.
A return to? Social mixing with coworkers has always existed and always will exist... you're talking about people that you are spending more than a third of your awake time with... socialized interactions will happen and you cannot policy your way out of natural events.
>With these simple substitutions you can once again sound like a reasonable human being who is not overly fixated on unnecessary crude sexual imagery.

Considering that we're discussing a Bukowski letter (who was "overly fixated on unnecessary crude sexual imagery" and proud of it), this is not necessarily advisable.

It sounds like a suggestion for the parent to "empty out" and adopt the officially tolerated sensitivity/language, lest some office drones be outraged.
Or give up the fight over formatting in general and adopt a tool like [0] Black, which has no rules or options to configure and only one correct style. _You can have any any style you want, as long as it's black._

That's assuming we won't get better at building them. Also, wind/solar have terrible energy density and are very bursty, so it sounds like we're screwed.
I really just don't see how YouTube can support this argument. A car passing buy is playing a song and that sound bite ends up in a creators video and therefor what exactly? What exactly are they claiming that means? That it was the song bite and not the content of the video that's earning the creator money? Aside from polling every person who watched the video how could they possibly justify that conclusion?

How can this be asserted in a transparent way? Are you aware of any of Google's internal practices and use of data that have been audited by an external entity and published for review?

How would you rate Google's use of Location History to tell advertisers when you visit their store in terms of "very good privacy controls"?

"The AP learned of the issue from K. Shankari, a graduate researcher at UC Berkeley who studies the commuting patterns of volunteers in order to help urban planners. She noticed that her Android phone prompted her to rate a shopping trip to Kohl’s, even though she had turned Location History off.

“So how did Google Maps know where I was?” she asked in a blog post ."

"At a Google Marketing Live summit in July, Google executives unveiled a new tool called “local campaigns” that dynamically uses ads to boost in-person store visits. It says it can measure how well a campaign drove foot traffic with data pulled from Google users’ location histories."

"Google also says location records stored in My Activity are used to target ads. Ad buyers can target ads to specific locations — say, a mile radius around a particular landmark — and typically have to pay more to reach this narrower audience." [1]
