You do not know if it was a felony. I doubt it would be, due to the low minimum sentence. Also, how hard is it to see a judge's sympathy for the commenters father? He made a mistake once, and the prosecution wanted to stick it to him. The unfairness of having to jail somebody for whom prison is an out-of-proportional punishment is more than enough to make a judge sympathetic to his plight.
My wife and I accidentally did an experiment the other day. Grabbed a random bottle we got as a gift to drink with our pizza. It was a cab sauv which is a wine we usually don’t care for. We both were surprised at how much we did like it and how smooth it was. The next day we were shopping at target and saw it was an $85 bottle of wine.

Not sure if we could have told it from a $40 bottle, but it certainly stood head and shoulders above the $20 bottles we typically buy.
> Both parties don't want this because this means a massive transformation in the politics of the urban/rural divide.

I think it's rather simpler than that. People won't elect someone who tells them their coal town is doomed when the coal runs out. They'll vote for the guy who makes unrealistic promises instead.

See endless stream of politicians promising to save dying mining towns, dying factory towns, etc.

It's an interesting topic, many view gas station and the oil supply as more reliable.. probably a too-big-to-fail aspect of it. But 'if' it crashes, it's indeed a lot harder to compensate for than electricity.

Qantas (the flagship Australian airline) has done this for years: https://wine.qantas.com/

I have received far more emails from them since covid though with "special deals" that don't seem that fantastic.

Interestingly, I've also seen airline food kitchens starting to do home-delivery: https://www.gategourmetmeals.com.au/meals
--> they sell packs of e.g. 4 microwave meals for ~$15.
Buy rooftop solar. You'll be vulnerable to standard California chaos, but if the world truly collapses, you can disconnect from grid power and cruise around the post-apocalyptic gas-free wasteland as a zero-carbon road warrior.
An alcoholic may not have the choice not to drink, but they can choose not to drive while under the influence. We are talking about drunk driving, not alcoholism.

So how do you tell if its just bad politics and lying -versus- accurately giving updated research data, and making recommendations upon that?

It's damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
AFAIK the main problem with the Leaf battery is that it doesn't have active thermal management[1].

I guess it's possible one could make a replacement battery pack which has an internal cooling loop, but it would be quite limited in how much heat it could get rid of through the battery case body without external radiators.

Of course better batteries might heat up less when used or charged, due to lower internal resistance, but that still leaves really hot or freezing days.

> the only reason the Europeans do is because they're not the ones running the services so the power balance is different.

My experience as an American having lived in Europe now for over 7 years is that Europeans (in general, particularly in the Nordic region) have a profoundly different relationship to their governments than US citizens do to ours. The will to protect individual users' data and privacy as expressed in the GDPR for instance is a sincere expression of European values, and would be as in effect if "the power balance" were tilted towards European companies. I know European companies who avoid Google services and all American companies to hold important data, as but one example
The achievement of the Tesla as an electric car are inspiring and incredible.

The issue people take is the reckless approach to selling nonexistent or immature tech that by its nature puts human life at risk. It is possible to both respect and disagree.
Unfortunately not. It does support a bunch of adblockers, as well as a few limited extensions but nothing super useful on the privacy front.

How about mourning for the people he actually killed?

Rather than mourning for the killer finding it more difficult to engage in his hobbies, while he experiences the consequences of killing two innocents.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. As for the colourscheme, perhaps just a simple toggle button on the web UI to allow for easy switching between light/dark?

I'll be checking out the native version as well, and looking forward to graphics (if for no other reason than to revive some exploratory progarmming in BASIC that I was doing in my childhood :-) ).
France attemtps to prevent alcoholics from driving. It doesn't actually prevent it. The very first result on Google search: https://www.statista.com/statistics/767979/deaths-road-accid...: "Drunk driving is the leading cause of traffic fatalities in France". So if you don't put someone in jail, they often keep driving and killing. What to do about that?

Similarly, reform programs attempt to reform alcoholics; they often do not succeed.

Jail, however unpleasant it may be, seems to be the only reliable tool to prevent further killing (at least for the duration of the jail term).

"To me local timelines only make sense if the instance has a very clearly defined group with some kind of shared access, e.g, a company that has an instance for use by its employees, or a club or organization have some kind of membership"

Wow yeah, this makes a lot of sense. It's too bad nodes became associated with niche hobbies or interests.

E.g. a fraternity/sorority that hosts a node would make perfect sense for a local timeline. I guess the only issue is that these organizations aren't permanent. So people would have to migrate, which isn't a thing for twitter or facebook. I know mastodon has a feature for this specifically but I think people would still find it too confusing if people's handles kept on changing.
Ok but banking infrastructure should support both use cases should it not? You’re not banking the underbanked who by definition don’t have money if you’re saddling them with $10 tx fees. If they had money they wouldn’t be under banked would they? I’ve spent a lot of time exploring this “underbanked” area, and in my opinion it doesn’t really exist.

The issue isn’t that they don’t have access to banking it’s that they don’t have any money to put into the account. That's a social issue not an infrastructure issue.

Its so frustrating when smart people can't speak plainly enough. Most people will see this video with a tile like "Watch Tesla's Full Self-Driving navigate from SF to LA with (almost) no help" and assume Tesla is FSD capable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQG2IynmRf8&feature=emb_logo

How then can Waymo say its not? Why can't they instead release a video comparing the Pros and Cons of Tesla FSD vs theirs.
this is to minimize the risk of internal fraud, inventory loss, potential staff issues, etc.

Its not all grim - There are some counterbalances that saavy employers can leverage. I believe some states , such as NJ, will reward employers that hire ex-felons. These amounts are quite large.

Of course, not all employers want to take the time to do an assesment of a potential hire with a criminal background.
Ehhh... Wat?

True, my parent was/is drunken my entire life, with a month or two of sobriety spliced in here and there. That doesn't mean that alcohol somehow magically caused him to be a useless degenerate who has no regard for human life. From what I hear my dad's biggest unexcusable behavior in life came before the alcoholism. His flashes of sobriety that I witnessed growing up didn't magically reveal a good person.

Using alcoholism to excuse any behavior is just wrong, imo. My mom readily used it to justify why my dad beat her and us. That's not okay.

Assholes need to be hold accountable and their actions should not be explained away.
Thank you for sharing. :)
We wouldn't be living in the lock down hell hole in a pre internet world. The idea that children playing online games are better off than those that don't is disgusting. It's a relic of this sad excuse for a life we live now. All to help grandma and grandpa, average age 82, to squeeze out another year. Who would happily let go for their grand children. Reprehensible.
Can I browse another server from mastodon? it seems I can only choose from my feed (people i follow), the local feed (my server), or the global feed. This is a really rough experience because my server is one of the big generic servers so there is no specific discussion and indeed it’s mostly people and bots screaming into the void, and of course the global feed is the same except the volume of posts is much larger and now half of the feed is in a foreign language.
Look at how many chargers are nearby and how far you'd have to drive in a typical rolling black-out to charge. I bet it isn't that much worse than how far you'd have to drive a gas car to refuel, as those stations tend not to have reliable backup power either.

On the US southeastern coast, the big concern is hurricanes. Gas stations are far from 100% dependable in regional emergencies both before and immediately after the event. Electricity tends to only be a problem afterward.
Cheap insurance.
Doesn't that mean though that tesla will be limited to people with money to waste or that it will lose a big chunk of its early to the market customer base once traditional car manufacturers enter the game at similar price ranges?
You bring up good topics, but the core of the issue is simpler than that. The city has a housing shortage because it prohibits housing from being built. Done. When there's not enough housing for all the people that work in a city the prices go up and commutes get longer.

When a city/county/region allows new office construction there's an obligation to allow new residential construction to house all those new workers. San Francisco and other bay area municipalities have spent the last 30 years avoiding that responsibility.

The website needs some help - at least on mobile. If you don't know what Krita is, the site isn't abundantly clear or explicit. At least it doesn't tell the uninformed users right at the top. Maybe the site isn't meant for non-users, but it sure would be nice if the About gave the "elevator pitch" description of the software right across the top.
The right question here is how affordable it is to Americans. I am not an American, but I have stayed in the US for a few years. But sugary drinks, confectionaries, desserts are affordable and easily accessible. Often inside 'healthy foods' like cereal and fruit juice.

You can walk into a Walmart and Costco and end up buying lots of these things for very cheap.

The tricky part is the companies seem to be making it up on scale. I mean like you can get some one to buy a really big box of Cereal by just having them compare the price of buying a several smaller boxes.

Buy this small packet of lays for $2 Vs buy this large bag of lays worth 10 $2 packets for $6.5. Congrats, you just made the person buying the $2 lays packet stupid.
Strongly urging the OP to see a doctor could be a better option instead of recommending a specific medication.
If he'd drunkenly raped those two teenagers to death rather than drunkenly killing them with his car, then he'd be imprisoned for that instead. So I'm not sure what your point is really.
I'm visualizing that day, and will welcome it

Are you into apocalypses? There's the British quick-spreading strain, and there are the Brazilian and South African variants that the vaccine does not offer good protection against. I predict that COVID will be like Picardy Fever, not like the Spanish Flu - there will be outbreaks every few years here and there.

This would have been a fantastic lockdown activity, what an awesome idea!
There are widely different judicial systems, and many that differ from the method used in the US.

Prison and forced hospitalization can in some places be very similar with the goal being rehabilitation. The purpose is to establish when the person is safe to be released, and to build a program towards that goal. Norway and Sweden is often cited as using those methods heavily, with Sweden getting both praise and criticism because of the fact that sentences can be undetermined in length. A person is released when they are deemed safe, which is a bit subjective. For youths specifically, the punishment is even called youth rehabilitation, even if its located in a prison building.

In contrast here we got a 15 years old kid that got a minimum 12 year sentence. The similarity with a hospital is almost zero. Its questionable if the legal system care if the kid got better or worse from their time spent there.

During the 80s and 90s, Norway used an interesting old approach to youth rehabilitation. Put them on a old sailing boat and put it out to sea for a several months. A kind of floating prison since escape was basically impossible, and the risk of drugs being smuggled in was pretty low. On the boat they could either sit in their room if they wish, or learn team work by helping the crew run the boat. It is difficult to compare that to a regular prison, even if a lot of the aspects of prison is there.
Smoking and Suicide: A Brief Overview
The Consequences of American Exceptionalism
My Dad avoided a crash where he was nearly killed with children in the car and believes he did it because an angel took over the steering wheel and corrected his driving error faster than he could.

How is this relevant to you friend's story, you may ask? It's relevant to show humans are not necessarily reliable narrators of why a crash occurred.
Can i get an electric car that I can go fill it's battery as fast as I can go fill my gasoline tank?

Have to admit, I had this exact same suspicion. Actually, several posts throughout the forum seem very close in tone and style to what I'd expect Fakespot to detect as mildly deceptive. Apologies if I am incorrect, but my Spidey sense is tingling something fierce.
Well, software that controls a car is a new thing.
So I would imagine that it hasn't really been regulated yet in most jurisdictions. For some reason we have a tendency to write laws so that they are specific to individual things rather than general and future prof laws.
That can be forgivable in some situations, but Move Fast And Break Customers? Not so much.
I think a shorter way of saying this is that everyone ad-hoc invents new formats that are subsets of JSON but don’t implement validators or parsers for them.

Thank you. My grandma tested positive on a Monday around a month ago and went into hospice the following Thursday night, when her oxygen dropped. She passed away the following Saturday morning.

My girlfriend's grandma also passed from COVID a few weeks ago. When it rains it pours, eh?

The whole thing is just horrible to deal with. Not having a chance to say goodbye or go through the grieving process together.

It's just so hard to comprehend how 419k+ other families in the US have experienced similar loss.

> Smoking has been associated with many psychological symptoms and psychiatric disorders (Hughes 1999; Kalman et al. 2005). One explanation of this association has been that those destined to become smokers have pre-existing or “latent” psychiatric or psychological problems and use nicotine to “self-medicate” to abate these (Markou & Kenny 2002). Several epidemiological and biological lines of evidence support this hypothesis (Markou & Kenny 2002).

Find that hard to believe. Thoughts?

Surfaces and handwashing were a distraction by American public health officials largely too stupid and proud to listen to Asians telling them to open all the windows and wear masks. Spend more time asking why your office windows are stuck closed.
It’s unfortunate that so many here are advocating for harsh prison sentences for some perceived deterrent value.

The US has the highest total number of people in prison, as well as the highest per capita rate [0], and yet we still have high rates of crimes we throw people in jail for decades for.

Clearly this system isn’t having any deterrent impact, and it is having a huge cost to both the lives directly deprived of freedom and to the families around them.

I really wish Tesla would abandon this quixotic quest for self-driving and focus on what they do best: Building the world's best cars.

If they could fix their build quality and repair issues I'd buy one tomorrow without any fancy driver assistance software because the Tesla Model S is the most fun car I've ever driven (manually).
I only charge my car once a week, as it has almost exactly the same range as my old gasoline car (~300 miles). So if there is going to be a bad storm in the forecast, I will top it up, just like a gasoline car.

If the outage is extended, there are plenty of DC fast chargers near enough to me that its unlikely that both me and them would face an extended outage, just like how in a gas car you might have to drive a few gas stations over to find one with power. If I had solar installed, I would be able to recharge during the day if I am somewhat careful in driving as the estimated surplus power for area I have for solar is ~7-20 miles a day.
Just my thought after reading the OP...

Writing a program used to be an activity for mostly introverts. But today, programming are becoming more social and open, and a lot of "extrovert" things are happening (especially in GitHub and others). There are many beginners today who want to be a programmer in the same reason why many people who want to be a rock star: to get noticed. In this situation, it becomes a kind of competition; People start gaming the system. But it only becomes a problem when you're in the same competition with others. There are still people, I hope, who just follow their passion and inner aesthetics and keep producing ever strange software (TempleOS comes to mind, I guess), just like music and other forms of arts. Overall, I don't think the current trend is that much concerning. There will be the Nickelback of Open source (I don't really know the band well but I keep hearing their music being very generic while they're making a lot of money), but we should keep searching and appreciating small artists. It can be balanced.
Yes but the killer was a math nerd, so clearly a better class of person in the minds of some of these commenters.

A budding math genius should be allowed to drunkenly kill as many kids as they please and only get a minor scolding, apparently.
A financial crime involving prison time is almost certainly a felony, and misdemeanor convictions don’t usually send ref flags up.

Candidates get asked about indictments and convictions, not time spent in jail or prison.
what would happen with the data in these companies if a government at the level of totalitarianism that existed in actual reality during the 20th century came to power in the 21st.

It’s even worse than that: it’s coupling a third thing as well: moderation/curation.
Why not use a different software suite altogether?

I love the classic response here:

- This FOSS is missing a critical feature X

- You should do Y instead, and you are incorrect for wanting to use X in the first place!

For anyone wondering, literally every other graphics software has a print feature, from MSPaint to (yes) GIMP and Inkscape.

The New York Times is no different.
So you don't use adaptive cruise control or lane centering features which are available in almost all new cars today. Clearly you are in the tiny minority, because almost every car manufacturer is adding basic AP like functionality even in base versions of cars. A lot of users feel this helps with long drives to which I agree
Nobody in the autonomous car industry had produced anything yet. Tesla has the best system of those actually in use.

Their arrogance is about as convincing as that of the rocket companies or car companies that didn't think EV were gone happen.

Saying 'in my industry they are joke' is kind of a joke by itself by now.

Also Tesla wants to operate a taxi services too so I don't understand your argument.
The front page clearly says:

But then so can you and charge your EV with it.
I find it hard to believe you have never seen the flying spaghetti monster 'in the wild'.
