The benefit of a 2018 paper is that it assembles the evidence. But, to satisfy, here is a much older paper about caffeine addiction [2]. Because, yes. Caffeine. It's addictive. And that's not really a problem, is it?

You ask how much less damage is ok. Half would be great! But it is likely to be more than that. The sun causes more cancer than Juul, that is worth keeping in mind. It's a free country.

I've had a beard continuously since December of 2005, which is when I went on leave prior to separating from the military. Being required to shave (essentially) every single day, under the threat of the UCMJ, was sufficient motivation to forego shaving for the last ~14 years. I'll probably wear a beard for the rest of my life. I still say to people frequently, "No, it's less a beard and more that I just stopped shaving." Yes, indeed, I also genuinely hate shaving.
Some cars you can. If they have a standard 1- or 2-DIN radio, or an adapter for same, then yeah you can retrofit a CarPlay-capable radio.

But many newer cars have totally custom, integrated audio systems and retrofitting is either extremely expensive or impossible.
FWIW, the Tesla nav is traffic-aware. I believe it's based on Google Maps.
Holy cow you downvoters. Fancy BMW is 7 series. High taxes do not make cars fancier.
There have been another similar project called MetaMask[1], a browser extension exposes a payment API for tipping content creators. MM had their brawls with Google too like taking down from app market, so what Brave guys are doing is understandable.

It's interesting what devs from Brave think about previous attempts like MetaMask? Why didn't it take off, leave out difficulties with configuration for non-blessed users? Having BAT token based on ETH platform, how is it going to deal with ETH network congestion? If it's off-chain, who controls it? Is it possible to split profits from ads or tips in case a bunch of people are collaborating on the same piece of content?

You don't have to be "wrong". You just have to be not exactly the same as everybody else. And of course, nobody is exactly the same as everybody else, therefore there is not possible for there to be such a thing as The One Perfect Language. The right tool for the job; but also the right tool for the workman.
This is a really weird list.

We do demonize alcohol makers and sellers -- Scotland has introduced Minimum Unit Pricing; there's a push to get that introduced in England (unlikely with a current PM who doesn't believe in regulation for anything) and alcohol is taxed and has controls on who can buy it and who can sell it.

Artificial sweeteners are not harmful.

Red meat is no where near as harmful as either tobacco or alcohol.

Tobacco kills huge numbers of people in a variety of ways. The number one public health issue at the moment is getting people to smoke less and then to stop smoking.
its a little over two years for most but its slowly creeping up due to excessive pricing [1] [2]

I think the expository paragraphs are quite good, and their use of "particle" and "wave" is clear, logical, and effectively conveys their point.

However, I don't see what clarity you get from bringing in quantum statistics to the discussion, the blobs at the centre of the diagrams represent both fermionic and bosonic particle exchanges: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1601.07001.pdf
The thing has a diesel engine, it's in a different class than those cars. You'd have to get pretty wild with turbos to make any of them perform with similar torque && economy. Or step up to all electric drive which would be even more expensive.
Yes, I have a Miata, which I modified for this purpose. I really like my CarPlay setup.
Oh, that paper is very interesting, thanks for that. It's not really comparable to a fully formal system, though: The user essentially chooses which trivial things to prove to convince themselves of something. For example, a real proof assistant would tell you what exactly to prove for the inductive proof in the factorial example. In this system you pick an induction principle yourself and hope it's correct.

Still, I'd like to see more work along these lines.
Fearmongering.
I feel that having no desire to spend money on such obviously material objects is a big "easy mode" in my life. It sucks to see so many people fall for all the luxury marketing and then go into debt to finance it.

I don't know how big the percentages are but a worker's decision to stick around is a function not only of environment, pay and benefits. It's also a function of the worker's level of interest in the company's subject domain, individual desire for continuity, risk aversion, etc.
If large companies are banning security tools in the interest of safety that’s a failure of government, and third party app stores will face the same restrictions.

Aside from that, the iPhone app ecosystem is perfect for me. Maybe it’s not perfect for you but I like it how it is and don’t want it to change and I don’t want more people in my family bothering me with tech stuff. If you want custom stuff why can’t you use Android and a Pixel 3 or something? Plenty of other options out there.
This is a neat game. I wonder if it could also function as a teaching aid, if you provided hints, at the cost of points, as the timer runs up for a single problem.

My brother smoked heavily during his teens and as a result developed schizophrenia / substance induced psychosis. It was generally terrifying to see him unable to complete thoughts and lose his train of thought.

I'm for decriminalization and legalization but at the core we need funding for long term studies to better understand marijuana's effects. Unfortunately the politicization of marijuana has led it, similar to guns, to be woefully understudied as a topic of public health in the US.
I own two Teslas and wish for CarPlay. Maps and voice recognition are much worse with Tesla’s software.
Well, when people are promised untold riches if they simply "Become a programmer in 2 weeks with our Python bootcamp!" what do you expect?

Hordes are now flocking to this industry for the $$$, but have little-to-no interest in the craftsmanship/inner workings aspect of it.

I spent hours the other day helping one of our new devs solve an issue he couldn't solve himself, and after explaining why his code was broken several times in several ways, I got the impression he didn't really care about the backstory I was providing on stack vs. heap memory; he just wanted me to help unblock him as quickly as possible so he could continue to make progress on his task.
What is it that Uber is proposing?

I understand that they're "advocating for a brand-new policy that would strengthen protections for drivers" but what is that policy? What policy are they suggesting be put in place to make sure protections for drivers are strengthened?
I was worried about that too - because I loved the (apparent) simplicity of using Apple maps from my phone... until I actually got the Tesla and found voice navigation is way easier and flawless. (And in the very occasional situation I have an address on my phone now I can just share it to the Tesla). I don’t miss CarPlay (at least for the features I used).
People that work should be able to earn a living wage, period, perhaps its an indication the people you mention are paid too little, why not address that, rather than demanding people on the edge of poverty get paid less...

It’s a tradeoff, to be sure.

I've seen thousands of Chrome ads in my life. On TV, on FB, on other ads on other websites, etc. I really don't think I've ever seen a FF ad. At least, I really can't recall seeing one. From what I've seen, the public has just not really heard of them. It's mostly just us geeks. It's hard to get market share when your audience doesn't even know you exist. And then you have Android, which comes with Chrome and has a much larger worldwide audience than iOS. I don't know how this is different than windows shipping with IE in the 90s, except Alphabet is allowed to continue while MS was not. Android has about 76% of the world market compared to iOS's ~22%. iOS has been in a slow decline most of this year as well, while Andoid is going up by as much. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide
I actually couldn't disagree more, I deeply dislike Tesla's infotainment center. It's a much larger version of "traditional" manufacturer's displays with more functionality that I want shoved into it.

I'd much prefer that display be an extension of my personal device. I don't want a new infotainment ecosystem with the manufacturer's choices baked in, I want the an extension of the one I'm going to keep using when I get out of the car, replete with my personal preferences for things like map applications, music, etc.
They apparently recently added UK support - do you support that feature in the UK too? Also do you have or plan an API for inserting transactions? I currently use YNAB and my UK bank supports a webhook for transactions, which I have automation that inserts it into YNAB using their API - if you don't support Plaid UK then that's a decent workaround.

Edit: I signed up and no UK banks seem to be supported.
On that note, many banks offer these types of budget tools now. RBC and TD in Canada both have solutions (NOMI for RBC, TD MySpend for TD) that made Mint and other budgeting tools completely moot for me. The only problem is that these don’t work if you do transactions across different institutions.

The real business opportunity here is to get acquired by a bank that does not have one of these solutions.
Maybe create a free account and try it out?
> but my rule-of-thumb is that if I anticipate wanting to use references, I will go elsewhere

Why? References are not scary and they work just like in any other language -- they are simply a memory address that points to another value stored somewhere else.
Right, but then the Germans know you’re listening and will be more careful about what they say. If you tap the cable, you may be able to keep it a secret.
Ran into this issue way back in 2005 when I bought my first modern-ish car (Subaru Legacy.) I'd always just replaced the radio with something decent and modern every few years in previous cars, but in this one the audio system was integrated into the HVAC controls and you couldn't replace it. So, no adding aux input jacks, nothing. I sold that car after 2 years and bought a car that had a standard double din head unit.

I have a JVC head unit in my car now that does car play/android auto, exterior cameras, etc. I will never buy another car without an upgradable stereo. This usually means I'm shopping on the lower end of the market, but that's worth it to not be stuck with auto manufacturer's software.
Maybe that's how it is today, but every time I installed a module in would invariably end with CPAN downloading the source of the latest build, compile it, and install it. Then I'd have to go and re-install every module under the new version.

How so? It seems consumer hardware & software (phones, bluetooth speakers) work much better than expensive, name brand cars. I think this extends to aerospace and medical equipment, the manufactures of these devices know their industry and their engineering but are 5-10 years behind in the implementation and polish of basic things like bluetooth. Medical devices especially are notorious for poor security; unsecured endpoints, outdated/unsupported OS versions (think MRI machine with 20 year lifespan running Windows XP Embededed).
You can, however there's three problems.

Firstly from an aesthetic point of view they're hideous, you'll end up having to buy a plastic piece of crap to hold it in and aftermarket stereos are just not great, it won't be flush to the rest of the dash.

Secondly depending on your car a bunch of stuff that used to work with your car (forward/reverse sensors) might not show up any more.

Thirdly stalk adaptors costs a fortune.

You really want a car that has got that experience sorted and after driving a modern VW, I'd say a VW or Audi is probably the way to go. They'll have Carplay/Auto/Mirror and that's what you want. The experience of an aftermarket stereo is just not great.
Well, not strictly mistaken, but severely outdated. The CPAN module did try to upgrade Perl in ancient versions, and this of course was a terrible idea.
I was thinking you’d tee it and run an extension to shore.
I've been waffling on this, but my biggest concern about the center stack display is that it's far away from looking at the road. I've been using a suction cup RAM mount on the windshield for years with Waze up constantly on my phone, podcasts playing to the bluetooth or wired connection, and most importantly, I have to look slightly to the right to see the directions, not down and far away. Even then, it's refocusing on something close instead of staying with my eye focus on the middle distance. Someday I hope to switch to a HUD, but my 2010 Mazda Miata does not leave a lot of dash room to mount such a thing aftermarket.
Once again. BMW 3-series is not a fancy car. 5-series? Maybe. 7-series? Totally. If you care about things like CarPlay, It makes zero sense to get BMW 3, because you can get a fully loaded Acura for the same price.
The vat is based on the import/manufacture price, and not the retail price, that you pay in other countries.
yeah, I've used Tesla's software, it's garbage compared to android auto.
Carplay is definitely non-negotiable.

Car companies are NOT in the business of building infotainment systems. They are in the business of building cars. A while back, to compete and differentiate themselves, they all started to build their own touch screen systems with their own custom interfaces. All of them sucked. Even the ones that were the best of their class still sucked. Not only that, every single interface was different. Going from car-to-car meant re-learning a new system. They all have limited resources to throw at this problem so everything is sub-par. It's like going to McDonalds for good coffee -- no, you go to a coffee shop if you want good coffee. McDonalds just provides coffee because they have to. Same is true for car manufacturers.

Trusting the OEM is just a bad idea. It is better for everyone involved to give this responsibility to those who are good at it. Apple and Google both have huge ecosystems of accessories and application developers -- not to mention massive user bases. Apple and Google have entire teams dedicated to integrating with auto makers and ensuring that the experience is consistent across all vehicles.

So why would you want to pay thousands of dollars more to get, for example, a navigation experience on your car that sucks balls? Instead you can plug in your smartphone – which some have arguably more computing power than a lot of commodity PC's sold in the last few years – and have a vastly superior experience.
Really can depend on the car too. I mostly love CarPlay in my Mazda[1]. My wife hates it in her Chevy Volt[2].

[1] Apple gives the car manufacturer the ability to truncate the length of scrollable lists while the car is in motion, which Mazda does. Nothing like only being able to see the first 15 items in a list of podcasts, or artists, or songs. I hate this. But otherwise the implementation is great, especially the integration between the car's physical controls and CarPlay. There's a steering wheel button to bring up Siri. There's direct physical button access to Maps, Now Playing, and the home screen. It would be nice if Apple allowed me to set Google Maps as the default mapping app, but Apple maps has become good enough most of the time. Aside, my 2016 CX-9 came w/o CarPlay. Mazda made it available as a DIY'able retrofit last year. The parts were a couple hundred dollars and it took a couple hours to retrofit.

[2] Once the entire entertainment system froze up and it didn't fix itself till like the next day. I've been meaning to check if there's an update from Chevy.
Nah, I have a 3, and here is what it lacks compared to Android Auto:

* Reading of messages

* Replying to messages

* Correct album covers for things like podcasts, audiobooks

* Playlist support

* Waze or Google Maps (yeah Tesla's maps are good, but they don't have road closure information which makes them pretty useless here in Michigan during the construction season. I often forgo Tesla's navigation and use Google Maps instead)

Sure, Tesla's software is better than pretty much any other automaker, but it's still lacking some critical features, at least in my opinion.
Google is the dictator of what gets accepted into Chromium and what does not. That's how open source development works -- even if the code is available to everyone, its maintainers control its future.
> And Clinton and Obama were left of center, within the context of US politics. (And since this is a discussion of US politics, US definitions are the normal ones to use.)

Even the Cato Institute thinks Clinton was to the right of Bush[1].
Meanwhile, sorry, but I'm going to stick with the real meaning of the terms.

By the time Obama was elected, the democrats so far to the right they were simply trying to offer republicans the very health care policy that they themselves crafted (in Nixon's era) and implemented (in Mass under Romney) and by that time republicans had gone so far right that even that was intolerable. Democrats weren't even considering single payer as an opening bargaining position.

I am interested in the success of Tesla, I have invested in it. However, my current setup with CarPlay is just too comfortable for me to change it. Does Tesla offer a Zoom app already? That’s one of the latest feature of CarPlay that has greatly improved my day to day, handling meetings from my car.
While the direction of the responses went to "full face" bmx/motorcycle helmets, I was thinking more of a chin strap/protector like football helmets sometimes have:

> When I ask "What's an implementation of Perl6" The answer is

Rakudo (compiler) and Rakudo Star (full distribution). Both of which have been production-ready since shortly after the Perl 6.c spec release in December 2015.

Your rant would be understandable back before there was a stable spec, especially long before when the in-process language description and the various implementations were sometimes far apart. But it's been years since it had even a remote resemblance to reality.

These are all reasonable things. Legalizing it will drastically mitigate the ability for minors to get a hold of any just as was done with the much more dangerous and deadly drug, alcohol.
In Ukrainian we have a similar провітритись, literally meaning "let wind blow through self". I suspect that many Slavic languages have the same.

I wonder if English has something of that nature as well.
Beyond legal liability, there is also the matter of the psychological trauma inflicted on the other driver when you die.
I understood the article to say the policy is specifically $21/hr while on a trip. Is their any publically available data about how much time Uber drivers spend waiting to be assigned a ride?

The fully loaded rate is potentially much lower.
I think most cars with CarPlay support Android Auto because most systems are essentially Android tablets.

And that's one thing I have noticed, Android pretty much owns the industrial market. Every touchscreen device you see in the wild is basically an Android device. Those payment kiosk things in restaurants, CarPlay, etc.
> Every single adult working whatever society agrees is "full time" should be able to live comfortably on those wages.

I agree that would be nice, it's just not possible in a free market. Is there any country where everyone lives comfortably working full time at any job?
I've used both and I'm sorry but CarPlay is far inferior to Tesla's UI.

In addition, Tesla's screen is the only interface to the car's critical functions. They're not gonna hand it over to CarPlay unless they were to provide a separate screen for the purpose.

I tried, but I can't do it. I need tabs.
Buying a car with too many software bells and whistles is a good way to buy a car that will look old within just a few years. The software built by the car companies is almost never updated in a major way. I remember when built-in GPS was an option for $1-2k extra on a new car... Five years later and the built in GPS interface looks ancient, and isn't nearly as functional as just using your phone anyway. I'll take a phone mounted to the dashboard over built-in GPS any day.

Every car company should provide some basics, like bluetooth connectivity, but aside from that, Android Auto and Apple Carplay are the ways to go. They get updated constantly and are made by companies with stakes in keeping them current. This way, I don't need to purchase a new car to get decent software.
