Ahem. Semi truck driver here.

Enough drivers to notice leave their brights on when approaching me from behind. I think that they think I can't see the lights because I have no rear window and a big trailer.

I have six big side mirrors, three on each side, and unless you're tailgating me (a rant for another day) your lights are shining into my eyes like a police interrogation.

Dim them down, thank you very much.
Often overlooked, but also no one thinks about the guy in a wheel chair or with some random disease. They too have sexual needs, perhaps a once a month bj would lift the mood and with it improve the well being of the guy.
We agree on this point.
And a lot of people give Google that power.

Which means Google holds a lot of soft power in the eyes of the government.
Its so simple for me. Just like with weed....

Legalize it!

Why are we concerning ourselves with how people pleasure themselves in private? It's disgusting.

Of course, have law enforcement root out the kiddie stuff, and have a legal framework to ensure safety (STI testing, etc) but my goodness, the efforts we currently go through to catch consenting adults in mutual benefit...

I agree. There are already too many distracting comments on Github.

(Not as important, but those who noticed the appearance of Github issues and comments in ideographic languages may have also noticed that most of them happen to be in simplified Chinese. Not Thai, not Vietnamese, etc. Not that I like to see any language other than English, but worst offenders of Github etiquette are from mainland China)

There was a pretty interesting talk presented at DefCon this year on tracking and other personal data being exfiltrated from mobile devices over Tor (in plaintext!!!). After noticing this activity on some end user devices, the presenters set up some exit nodes and started looking for similar traffic, and uncovered a shocking amount of data being moved about in this manner from a variety of mobile applications. Unfortunately, the presenters didn't name and shame (though they did imply some well-known brands were guilty), and it was presented at the SkyTalks venue, so no recording was allowed and the slides won't be published. But given the data that they were collecting and where the impacted users seemed to be located, it appeared like a majority of the tracking traffic they were intercepting was coming from users in China, Russia, and other states with civil liberties issues.
Engineers reveal ‘invincible’ autonomous robot insect that can’t be flattened
Fortunately (at least where I'm living) automatic headlights are already more widespread than the fancy "matrix-lighting" headlights, for the simple reason that a light sensor on the windshield is cheaper than two state-of-the-art headlights. But, I confess, if anybody would move the switch from "Auto" to "Off" on my car, I might join the people driving without lights for some time before I would notice it...
Those are two different systems, so it's not clear what you are trying to say, other than, like, burn it all down man.
Seems possibly useful, except it's extremely limited.

For example, how do you control positioning? For example in the Graphs option, say I have a Central entry that requires 4 exits to Up, Down, Left and Right. there doesn't seem to be a way to handle that as it quite arbitrary allocates position, I think, alphabetically.
Because if one device gets compromised, you want to regain control of your identity and deny access from compromised device. Also you want to prevent the hacker from doing the same. We have not yet invented a way to do it without central authority, which is also acceptable in terms of usability.

>"No application should `require` location services to start/let you in."

Exactly this. Rejecting apps from getting into your store ecosystem that request permissions that they can't justify based on the purpose of the application should be one of the first and major things app-store curators do.

Now to enforce this with browsers as well and include things such as "push notifications".

You're welcome. I've watched the whole video and it's pretty interesting. Not being Canadian or Australian I missed most of the jokes though :P
Not many folks admit it, but yours isn't the first story I've heard with this. I don't personally have children, and have merely played with other people's children. I can definitely play longer slightly stoned.

Most folks aren't getting overly stoned with their children around anyway: More similar to having some wine with dinner, I guess?
It's possible, but in my experience, there is someone for everyone. I suppose if the goal is to hit way above your weight, paying makes sense. Money does seem to have that effect on women. But if you have that much, you should be able to pull it easily without prostitution?
Even then MVC is almost always far more than needed to get the job done well... as are most frameworks.

I have noticed in the big corporate space many people writing this code are formally educated to write code in a very specific way that isn't quite JS-friendly and they need the extra boilerplate to make JS behave.
Yeah, its better than nothing but that's still not quite as simple as just having a database I can copy off my own phone with all the details.
But, how do you know that the same Americans traveling to Asia are also tolerating said policies/politicians? I've had the same next door neighbors for 15+ years, and I have no idea what policies/politicians they tolerate/support. Much less the random person walking down the street.
Oh, don't get me started on that. Not just ADHD, but antidepressants and anxiety medication as well. Of course there are people with legitimate needs, and boys who truly can't pay attention, but the over-prescription of these medications is negatively effecting way too many people.

Not working on your issues, and just masking them with a chemical should be a short term solution. These drugs are worse in my opinion, and I could ramble for a long time on my reasons.

The money they cost and dr's never having an exit strategy for the patient, are my biggest concerns. I've never heard of a dr informing a patient on how difficult getting off these things are. Presumably because they want you to take it forever, or they have no clue. And there are definitely too many boys who just don't get the attention they need, or have more energy than someone likes, so their behavior becomes a disease.

I drink sometimes, and have been known to do other things. But I feel like everyone should be striving for the ability to get through life without 'needing' chemicals. Sometimes people forget how wonderful you can feel when you are clean, eating right, and exercising. They start to think they are incomplete without some chemical. Of course we all fail at being perfect, but it's a goal worth struggling towards.
> it's bunches of single men ... that are not part of a family, and who have no need to be productive

That's actually argument for prostitution. You have to earn money for prostitutes. Granted not as much as for the family but still. Also I think there's way less colateral damage for everybody if less desirable men can just buy what they crave directly instead of attempting to compete with better men over women that don't want less desirable men and if they settle for them they'll regret it.
VoLTE is "voice over LTE". A lot of older 4G phones actually use 3G for voice calls.
That's why I'm asking! I was more referring to someone spending $400 to get laid, not the $20 blowjob guys.
This isn’t about what the news organizations know. It’s about writing to their audience and what the audience knows. The audience has a lack of awareness.

One thing that could use a lot more press is what companies do with this information. Many people who know they have it believe it to be harmless.
I think the open source aspect of this is irrelevant. I think the question you're asking is why hasn't anyone replaced Facebook with a better alternative AND why hasn't it caught on.

See wt.social for an alternative. Who knows if it'll become popular but I bet it won't be because it's OSS or not... simply because your family and friends don't know what that is or don't care.
Try this: Start smoking a pack of cigs every day (evenly spaced out throughout the day, from dawn to dusk) for 3 months.

Then, stop. Observe your lung function and comfort levels throughout the next 3 months.

I am rather certain that you will feel a difference. :)
I've heard that some previous colonies have done quite well after the colonizers left, when the colonialism was combine with Christian missionary activity.

In more ancient history, while the Spaniards did many horrible things to natives, they also put a stop to even greater horrors, such as the mass human sacrifice at that time.

Even further back, Roman colonization was exploitative, but did also bring peace to the different regions they colonized.

So, colonization can bring about a better social structure. Given that people are often driven by selfish gain, getting something out of enacting a just social structure seems to be the best way forward.
You do realize that one thing can be more popular but still have competition, right?
> So the reason why Facebook (that I rarely use and block using the Facebook container extension) serves me better ads than Google (that has known me since before I left school) is because Google is clueless?

While Google has a lot of information, most of it is not eligible to be used for ad targeting. For example, Gmail data can't be used at all, and Search data can only be used in cases where information about what you were searching about won't be leaked.
The reason it’s baffling to you is because you’re viewing it through your own ideological bias.

Doesn't Chrome have a "Block third-party cookies" setting (disabled by default) that you can enable in Settings > Site Settings > Cookies and site data > "Block third-party cookies"?

AMD EPYC 7742: Benchmarks and Review
Those memos are pretty damning and run directly counter to what has been pushed in the media. Worse yet, it suggests that cooperation itself is what damned the organization when someone had to do something.

This adds significantly to the mindset of "do not cooperate with the legal system even if you're trying to help, no good can come of it." And my already ebbing faith in the media has slipped even further.
Coal miners sell their body for their job too. There are plenty of jobs that will destroy your body but pay better than average for your skill level.

At the end of the day when an adult makes the decision to do a particular job because it pays better than the alternative we can't automatically count them as a "victim". It robs people of their agency and infantilizes them.

>Even quite minor OS updates can cause the tests to fail en masse

I found it didn't even take that. Sometimes indeterminism in the code you wrote or indeterminism in code you can't even control will cause tests to fail en masse.

This is amazing, very well done. I think every programmer should from time to time build something for a very old platform and appreciate the progress achieved so far.
Even in this example, the donor is much worse off than they were before donating. That is, the donor didn’t benefit.

Perhaps donating to one’s own foundation is only 90% as good as immediately donating to the final source, but it’s infinitely better for society and worse for the donor than taking no action.
It is exactly how opponents of euthanasia frame the debate, so it is not surprising that the GP was confused.
What is the hardware bug? In my experience, usually there is a way to make things mostly work until the regression is addressed.

One way of handling the "Windows for warranty" is buying another hard-disk for Linux and putting the old one to the side in case there's problems. Also grub with a dual install.

Generally, Dell isn't going to go out of it's way to deny you warranty coverage (at least for hardware). It's more trouble than it is worth to do anything other than just fix it.

Good luck.
It's not the worst by any means. For example, any game on the infamous Action 52 cartridge is easily worse than E.T. Most of the "worst" consideration happens because of notable game reviewers such as AVGN perpetuating the meme of it being the worst game ever.

Kind of similar to how EA Games is often the #1 hated company, even though it has many successful franchises and beloved games.
This is one of the reasons I love my 20 year old car.

My wife's 10 year old car's headlight bulb went out. I had to remove the front bumper to get the headlight out to get to the bulb. When I opened the back of the headlight there were bits of colored plastic all over; the insulation on the dozens of wires inside had dried up, cracked, and were flaking off - probably do to the motion of the adaptive lamps, exposing the bare wires. If any of these bare wires shorted out it could easily have started a fire.

Both headlights were like this.

This is not true of asthma. Outdoor air quality in the United States has improved over time [1] and asthma rates has increased.

it's the absolute worst. car companies are marketing all this tech like highbeams that stay on and move away from oncoming traffic like it all just works and it doesnt... and very bright leds... and more suvs than ever so if you drive a car most other vehicles headlights are higher relative to yours (hence more in your face)
"Most" is a fairly strong quantifier, and some people would probably disagree.

Anything new could be termed as an example of RDD, but if that were always the case, we never would have had JavaScript in the first place. One (IMO) useful skill is determining when something new actually provides ROI or is actually a manifestation of RDD or similar.

Unless a language has really great first-class pattern matching (JavaScript does not), I don't ever want to work on a serious project in a dynamically-typed language. The guarantees provided with static-typing and the benefits when it comes to bugs, testing, and refactoring are huge.

Sure, devs that partake in RDD might move on, but there is a good use case for TS that has nothing to do with resumes, and everything to do with a preference in how to build software.

Temperature variability also factors into this. Though by itself is not a major factor, it seems to be a combination of things.

If anything we are not "killing the planet" we are destroying the conditions that allow life to thrive on Earth. I've been following these links since 2013 and more studies are showing this could be a "thing."

"Here we estimate associations between multiple environmental factors (air quality, residential greenness, mean temperature, and temperature variability) and self-assessed mental health scores for over 20,000 Chinese residents. Mental health scores were surveyed in 2010 and 2014, allowing us to link changes in mental health to the changes in environmental variables. Increases in air pollution and temperature variability are associated with higher probabilities of declined mental health. Mental health is statistically unrelated to mean temperature in this study, and the effect of greenness on mental health depends on model settings, suggesting a need for further study. Our findings suggest that the environmental policies to reduce emissions of air pollution or greenhouse gases can improve mental health of the public in China."

This is probably more of a philosophical point. But if you removed all pollutants then by putting one back in you're actually poisoning your subject.

I guess it's the difference between a surgeon operating and taking out 90% of a tumor, and a surgeon taking out the whole tumor then putting a bit back in. But again, I am not an ethics expert, this is just me bouncing ideas.
If you didn't know, Google even added a special API in Android for Apps to use to get device IDs, IMEI included. The very point of it is to allow tracking by Apps.

In Android 6 they even made a special callback result to indicate that the user has refused to give his permission rather than indicating that modem/phone ID wasn't found.

Clearly they are aware of this and do that deliberately.

You misspelled "blown a fuse". Except for the ~1ft run from the battery to fuse box basically everything in a modern vehicle has a fuse preventing it from catching on fire.
Slightly off topic:

But to anyone with a new(ish) car: do you constantly get people flashing their brights at you in protest of your "modern" headlights being an order of magnitude more blinding than old headlights?
Fun fact, prostitution isn't a federal offense.
This is my pet peeve. I have seen several police cars with their lights off as they leave a station near my workplace! Unbelievable.

I also see a lot of cars with brights on but no lights. I annoy the people around me by asking them the difference between brights and lights and the answers are very depressing. It seems that many people fiddle with a few buttons until they see light in front of them and then consider everything good.
As someone who spent 10 years in the business trafficking is indeed rare. In my experience it is mostly through organized crime in LA, SF, and NYC.

Almost all Asian AAMPs are trafficked women. They are snuck in on ships and forced to work to pay their “debt”.

Outside of this women work in prostitution because they need money. A lot of people demonize this work saying how terrible it is, but the reality is an hours work is a days wages at a normal job. That’s very tempting.

Internet ads and online advertising got women off the streets and made things incredibly safer. Women could focus on screening clients instead of attracting them, increasing safety.
> More modern cars are becoming so complex so quickly that I am reluctant to embrace one [snip]. Car reviews that state "packed full of technology" are like a warning sign to stay clear.
