> late merge asshole problem.

Early mergers are the assholes. You're SUPPOSED to merge late. If you see a sign saying "Construction ahead 3 miles, left lane closed" or something, and you immediately start trying to merge, you're the one doing it wrong.

Early merging creates unpredictability in traffic flow. Zipper merges are safer and lead to shorter merge queues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_(traffic)#Zipper
> Car makers are really hoping the EV thing sticks so they can force you to buy a brand new car every 5-6 years once the battery is toast.

What? No. This doesn't make sense at all.

First, most traditional manufacturers are NOT keen on having their fleet replaced. They don't want to cannibalize their own products. When they can, they will even retake possession of 'compliance cars' and destroy them.

Second, dealerships are also NOT pushing EVs. EVs make very little money due to less maintenance.

Third, no EV battery is toast after 5 years, except maybe first generation Nissan Leaf batteries (lookup 'lizard battery' if you are interested). Tesla's should last for 10 or more.

They really cannot prevent aftermarket batteries from being installed, or individual cells replaced. They can try to make the process more difficult (as GE is doing), but if there's enough incentive it will be circumvented.

Anything that does not deal with the drivetrain works just the same as any other car.

You might have a point if you mentioned the EV electronics. But can you repair a car ECU? Most likely, you can't. If that fails, you replace it. Same thing here, except there's less to replace.
I wear a mask outside in the winter, usually, but this makes people uncomfortable inside at best and obviously prevents you from eating or drinking. And you would not be comfortable yourself either. So I'm going to say wearing a mask at all times is not practical.
The video acceleration was done the same way with overlays because of the same hardware limitations. I remember the difference was that they used chroma keying to try and fake that it knew how to work with the windowing system -- the hardware would mask the video using the chroma key color while rendering the plane. Of course if you had another window that happened to have the chroma key color for text or something, you could drag it over the video and the text would appear oddly transparent. This happened with certain drivers on Windows up to XP, and on Unix/X11 when using the old "XVideo" extension.

But this is indeed tangential and not relevant to the original comment, because the chroma key color could be anything. On one particular driver I had, I remember the chroma key color was a very ugly shade of brown :)

> Where I am (Australia) an employer is not allowed to pay a salaried employee less than they'd earn working the same hours as an equivalent role paid on a per hour basis.

IIRC the wording in Australian legislation is that employers can require full-time employees to work "reasonable overtime". So that doesn't sound right - at least, not as a rule across the board. Perhaps under certain awards.

Even then, it's fairly useless wording. It does nothing to resolve disagreements between employer/employee as to what's reasonable. An extra hour once a year? 10 hours every week? Big difference between the two.
On the surface it’s a great tool to consolidate all of my financial accounts in real time- checking, savings, credit cards, and investments. With a little effort the categorization of each transaction was helpful in tracking my spending. That’s where the usefulness ended. Most categories became cluttered with noise after a while and when I left there were no bill pay tools (not sure if they have those now?). Budgeting tools weren’t smart and at some point I started seeing ads for new credit cards each time I logged in. They has access to every single transaction I made, priceless data, and blew it.
Some times a technology is so cheap and easy to use that banning it becomes absurd, and you just have to accept the new reality.

Also, the null hypothesis is just a starting point from which you gather and analyse the data that may disprove it.

> If you were to join twitter for the purpose of campaigning, I imagine you'd have a lot of bot like behavior.

To add to this, that yang subreddit actively encourages people to create Twitter accounts (if you don't already have one) to participate. It is definitely an agenda that is pushed. Lots of new Twitter accounts that are pro Yang is not surprising if you visit the subreddit. It also shouldn't be surprising that these accounts would be associated with MAGA bots and supporters. After all, Andrew is targeting the same demographic as Trump. There's several posts a day on the yang subreddit about ex-Trump supporters turning.

All of this makes me think that it is very hard to distinguish bots from real people who are excited by the campaign.

So I fully agree with this

> I think it's a mistake to assume that politically disengaged folks who would like to stay anonymous online, and are only joining a social media platform to promote their candidate or two, would behave like "real" users.

It’s not that something changed with opioids as a category, we’ve been using them forever.

Drug companies made time release formulations of basically the same compounds and said they weren’t as addictive as the stuff we used before and that wasn’t true.

In the US Doctors tend to do what the patient wants, which you would expect from a free-market healthcare system. This leads to patients often asking for medications, in addition to marketing reps incentivizing physicians who want to make their patients happy as quickly as possible.

I don’t see a clear parallel.
That's a pretty funny quoted snippet in the first result:

> Dart is a synonym of cigarette.

So far so good...

> As nouns the difference between dart and cigarette is that dart is a pointed missile weapon, intended to be thrown by the hand; a short lance; a javelin; any sharp-pointed missile weapon, as an arrow while cigarette is tobacco, marijuana, or other substances, in a thin roll wrapped with paper, intended to be smoked.

That makes it sound like they're not so synonymous, somehow.
Wikipedia is AWESOME and I admire your selflessness & generosity in donating to a cause :)

However, before giving them any more money I would recommend reading through the (Wikipedia-hosted, ironically) article titled "Wikipedia has Cancer". The revenue vs. employee count/operating costs ratio is way off. Like, orders of magnitude off.

It's a tough pill to swallow considering how useful the site is and their respectable "information should be free for all" mission.

Again, your generosity is admired and there are far worse causes to donate towards. Just want to make sure people see both sides of the coin before spending hard earned cash!

Schneier's points are dead on. One of the few talking sense here. Biometric and related identification technologies are here and multiplying. We need to regulate data sharing and 3rd party data compiling, regardless of the data. Dirty data and incorrect data will haunt people, existing in who knows what databases. This is what needs to be regulated. Not the individual identification technologies. Stop the abuse of new tracking technologies before they are invented. As well as end the advertiser tracking that is out of control. (FYI: I write FR software.)

My experience with US ADHD medical providers is that they require an appointment every 3 months where you get another 3 scripts (with 2 being dated for the future months). One let me go a whole year without having an appointment but I also didn't ask for a script every month. Generics stimulants have been cheap with and without insurance (or with GoodRX).

After I moved and got a new GP and asked for a stimulant prescription, they wanted me to come in every single month and do a urine drug screen even if I provided info from my former providers. I switched to an ADHD specialist right after that. It's much more expensive but they treat me with respect.
Of course it's uncomfortable

It's crazy to me just how different voices and the accent were back then.

So many women had this very high-pitched and constricted, and almost childlike "shrill" voice.

While men had vowels that were so wide-open laterally, but lacking in upper overtones (the opposite of nasality).

And I don't think you can ascribe any of it to the recording technology -- even if you record someone today and cut off higher/lower frequencies, they don't sound anything like that.
There's a difference between late merges and late lane changes, which is what OP meant. When all vehicles are merging into one lane, sure, the zipper merge is superior. But when you realise you're in the wrong lane right before an intersection and try to force your way over, that's the problem.

I understand that perspective, but I hope you can see that unlike a religion, politics, especially in USA is through people. People need to push a specific candidate because they represent a vision for yourself and the people you love.

One key thought experiment I like to do is to project out a behavior pattern for all people and then asking whether that would be a positive or negative for yourself and society. If everyone were to campaign and push for the ideas they care about, I do believe that would result in a more informed and better society. Through the marketplace of ideas, we can fight through the differences and hopefully create better policy and have better leaders execute on our future.

I think for a lot of people, taking action to affect change for the community/society you live in is very natural. On a small scale that can be something like running for class president or joining your HOA. At a larger scale, politics is where change happens.

If you believe in a set of principles, it is sometimes worth your personal time, effort, and money to affect change. Hopefully you can see that from their perspective they are about their own future and this is the most effective way to impact that prospective future.

Either knowing or not knowing where some of my 2^n ancestors (n being generations from me) are potentially (based on proxy information, not certain) originating from doesn't seem to do much for me.

Also, knowing health risks also doesn't do a whole lot for me as I already live a healthy life with the idea that living healthily will add years to my life. Do I want to know I'm predisposed to some disease in the future? Not really. Unless there are DNA-tailored pills you can take that reverse any potential DNA-driven issues coming my way, I'd rather not know.

Does anyone feel differently? Are they getting value from these services?

I posted about this recently on reddit [0]. People disagree, citing that the use of the word "accident" is a statement of intent, not blame.

My opinion is still unchanged, though. The relationship between word choice and opinions works both ways. I still have the belief that at least 90% of accidents are caused by sheer negligence of some sort and could have been prevented by simply taking the responsibilities you have as the operator of a 2,000+ lb machine. I still feel that "accident" softens the blame.
