Construction is fine, and drinking is fine (maybe). But do the Ford truck drivers DUI as often?
That's exactly right - It's always good to put roadblocks and increase resistance to bad habits, and take away roadblocks and decrease resistance to good habits. It works better for me than cold turkey.
This seems like a weird view of the situation. It's not as if the US is on its way down the ladder in this moment. It's just that Venezuela is now the lesser of the evils, not that they became less evil, but Russia became more evil.

What incentives are needed? I'll grant that spills and such are inevitable somewhere, so how could prevention of those also be incentivized? Who exactly needs to be incentivized?

For clarification I'm a rare breed of (educated) environmentalist that believes we need to continue domestic oil production, albeit with significant consideration for the immediate and long term consequences of the operation.

I agree that we need better ways to capture and distribute energy, and that we needed it a long time ago, and that every second we don't have it, shit gets worse for the future. I understand, and fight for it daily in a variety of ways.

But I'm also aware that we need affordable energy to sustain the cultural aspects we all adore. We need energy NOW in order to develop the methods we needed years ago and do our best to catch up and minimize the worst. "Teaching gas guzzlers a lesson" and other far more nuanced ideas in the same vein are the rhetoric du jour, but that's short sighted enough to be dangerous imo.

In short, I think we need to invest in the now to accelerate solutions for the future. Cold turkey won't work here.

Trying to cut down on phone time/doom scrolling has been a focus of mine the past few weeks. I've been able to help mitigate but not get rid of it with the following:

1. Apollo for Reddit on iOS has a toggle for infinite scrolling, I have infinite scrolling off
2. Most of my time on my phone is spent either in bed, or in transit. Transit has a definite end, so being in bed was my main target. I now leave my phone so far away from my bed at night that I need to get up to get it. Instead of using it before bed, I read.

I do #2 in moderation, for example weekends, I just run free but my sleep is way better the nights I read and keep the phone away! I hope this helps some folks.
Building and running are two different levels - a very complex setup to build can be very simple to actually use.

Likely a large amount of complexity in these control setups is the lack of efficient screens for displaying data - compare a modern airliner to a 1960s.

Ford sells TONS more truck than Dodge. Why does Dodge have more DUIs?

WRX cars are visceral creatures that beg to be spanked. They _want_ you to tear around the roads with them. That's what they are made for (well, not so much lately as they've gone soft). Audis are urban wannabe racers, so it's somewhat likely that their owners will still feel a need to race a bit. But without a doubt, nobody accidentally buys a WRX. There's no use case for a WRX other than playing on the roads. So a WRX driver will be screwing around with or without drinking. They will get pulled over a lot. Sometimes, occsionally maybe, they will have been drinking. Thus, they will show up as frequent DUI.
No one said anything about "best intentions" or "non-nefarious". They said "legal".

Its issue trackers. There have been sad bugs going on years deep into the project. Maybe they’re all mopped up in 2022 but I wouldn’t count on it. Its design does well on a certain usage profile at the expense of mixed read/write or other workloads. Cockroach has more money and could throw better developers (more experienced) at the problem. Haven’t looked at Pebble though.

I don't get why they don't continuously send 10-20% of "control samples" (either with known result, or randomly sampled from e.g. the last 3 months → to check that the results are still the same) through the labs, thus having a continuous estimate of data quality - and they can also score "accuracy vs. technician" etc., to spot these problems.

(of course this won't work when the entire system is corrupt -- but often it's just a malice/incompetence of a few persons in the lab)
Or the weather was just right to spread it out across a wide enough area. Maybe with still air it might have been more concentrated.
Why You Shouldn’t Join Ukraine’s anti-Putin Hacker Army when you are not **an experienced hacker**
The point of the service denial is to agitate precisely this kind of reaction from the public with the desire that they revolt against Putin. Of course if they do, many will die or get locked up in a dark cell somewhere up but it will complicate things for Putin.

The other tactic the western powers have is to try and get as many Ukrainian civilians killed as possible for the propaganda effort. This is why they promote lobbing molotovs against tanks etc. Putin desires to kill as few civilians as possible as he can easily win the war. Winning the peace will be more difficult and they need to make it as difficult as possible.

What does ‘back button works’ mean in the context of infinite scroll?
I take issue with your representations here. Republicans have more trucks because there are more Republicans in areas where trucks are currently necessary for life. Republicans may also vote with their feelings more (in my opinion that's both true and a ridiculous blanket statement), but that has nothing to do with truck ownership other than some very nuanced answers as to "why" these people choose to vote Republican.

The article refers to 1435mm “narrow” gauge but perhaps because it was the narrower of two. The states of Australia still have three (narrow, standard and broad) today, though the capital cities at least are linked by standard gauge starting in 1995. Until the standard gauge track was completed this required initially transshipment, then later bogie exchange.

Wouldn't it be better to ask in the MR if they could just write a test to cover that case? It prevents wasting your time writing a test case that's going to be thrown out and prevents the other engineer from being blind sided by someone else committing a test case to their branch. I'm really not sold that the approach you're taking is of more value than just asking the MR author to add the test themselves.

When a nuclear bomb hits, if you survive, stay in your house for at least 24 hours. Houses are great to protect you from fallout. Seal the windows best you can. Do not run outside, drive around, etc. If you are able, stay inside for 5 weeks. Take iodine tablets. If you must travel for supplies wear a p100 mask and throw away your clothes once back inside.

Where will the bombs hit? Military targets. See map:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/U.S._Mil...

FYI Russia have 5k active warheads.

"More than half the total bomb debris lands on the ground within about 24 hours as local fallout.[9]"

"Fallout radiation decays relatively quickly with time. Most areas become fairly safe for travel and decontamination after three to five weeks.[13]"

We used to have access to individual demographic data for breaking down your analytics and ad targeting, as well as being able to target users based on their specific email address or phone number. We could also target your friends.

From memory this has now all been rolled up into cohort demographics and 'look-a-like' audiences so you can no longer break your data down by specific users demographic attributes or target ads by say an email list unless they are already your users (and it's used for specific types of ads; retargeting).

From memory some of the more unsettling breakdown/targets were

- Ethnicity
- Life events
- Politics
- Pages (so other businesses) they had liked

I worked for a pure play furniture retailer you used to be able to do things like buy email lists from price comparators of gas/eletricity/home insurance with additional data like your postcode and then upload it to facebook and specifically target everyone with a FB account under that email/phone number with furniture ads. As the assumption is that if your looking for gas/eletricity/home insurance your likely to be moving home or at least be a person who had some need for furniture.

Now they just use the facebook pixel to put you into look a like audiences because they can see you went to the home insurance website and the real estate website (they all have the pixel installed) and make the same broad assumptions we were previously making but on the cohort and not your specific unique identifier.

I can list the two I've played: Elite Dangerous and Planetary Annihilation. Another one I can name is The Crew. Yes, there's not that many, but I never said it was a huge problem, I just responded to your assertion that the only reason such games are online only is because of what players want. That's plainly false.

>Ah, yes, so instead of waiting for someone to reverse engineer the server, you're waiting for someone to reverse engineer the console so that it remains playable in perpetuity. That's definitely different.

You're responding to a specific example rather than the underlying point. That point being: when you own something you're free to do with it as you please. You don't need to ask for permission to read a book you own, although you do need to physically have the book on you to do so, and it needs to be intact enough that you can understand what's printed on it. A PlayStation game on a CD follows those same rules. Always online games don't.
It uses a 10$ lens (for 1 piece, in large quantities could be much cheaper). I imagine for 100$ you should be able to get similar or better magnification.
Something I always wondered about Prolog: if you're not defining how the program executes (but rather, what it should do), how do you know if something (a constraint) you're asking for is extremely expensive under the hood? Sure you can run the program and see how long it takes, but if your program is based on real-time data it seems like it would be difficult to have any idea if your program will consistently yield proper results in a reasonable amount of time.

Do I misunderstand something about how Prolog and other constraint-based programming languages work?
I initially wrote the word "declarative" but I don't really like it. It implies an objectivity and absoluteness that doesn't align with the subjectivity inherent in trying to tie code to a programmer's intentions. That is what is declarative for one developer or one set of circumstances may smack of being overly procedural for another (see e.g. what opinions you'll get if you tell a population of programmers that regexes are declarative).

To be more specific, SQL and regex literals still don't really capture the magic of Prolog which is unification. It's a heady thing to realize that telling a machine facts and asking it for information is fundamentally the same thing! Just a matter of whether you pass a constant or a variable.

To compare with SQL, it would be as if you did away altogether with the notion of separate `SELECT` and `INSERT` statements and the same prepared SQL statement could be used to mutate the DB or return data just based on what you pass to the `?` parameter.
in the article:

CockroachDB (or CRDB for short) consists of a distributed SQL layer on top of a distributed key-value store.
The cheap 'zoom tube' ones are great. $150-200 gets ~135-180x magnification with HDMI output, real time video and a nice lighting ring thrown in.
They will desire revolt...abroad, against meaningless western "collective support" moves from huge businesses.

Don't go too deep here, it's only an advertising campaign and collective ostracism action, which can't be avoided by Enterprises without loss of reputation.

I can't help but think the extreme reaction to Russia (sanctions on anything even remotely related to Russia) is "revenge" for what some of the elite might still be convinced was Russian involvement in the 2016 election (despite evidence to the contrary).
It is. But if the world does not respond with full destruction of Russia, it might be viewed as clever way to win a war and provoke even greater horror.

It is important to make this point very clear to Russia right now that such action will be not tolerated and it will provoke full nuclear response.

Otherwise when they think that there will be no response out of fear, they might consider its possibility.
... and the question was about why they built the key-value store instead of using an existing one. The question clearly was about pebble, not CockroachDB, so why are you arguing about what CockroachDB is?
> - modify current URL periodically

This is a big one.

Without this it's so frustrating to infinite scroll down to the equivalent of 12 pages, leave the page and want to go back to roughly where page 12 is another time. Instead you have to start from the top and scroll down.

You'd likely save a good amount of server compute power just using push state to update the page in the URL as you go so folks can copy / paste it and jump right back to that page later.
Clicking the back button after navigating away from the infinite scroll madness should return to the same spot in the infinite scroll list.
Apology mostly accepted. It certainly makes it hard to discuss with people!
Well, the US in general has become a "certain demographic". And by that, I mean "less thinking, more led by television advertising and social competition".

Unless you're hauling stuff or towing stuff, a truck is impractical. It takes more physical space, uses more fuel, weighs more (and thus wears brakes and tires faster, turns more poorly, accelerates more poorly, brakes more poorly), and increasingly costs more. But it projects an image: You are tough. You belong. You are a man. You are patriotic.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Rivian. But a Dodge truck is loud, fuel inefficent, unreliable, and aesthetically crude.

In October 2021, Ford trucks were the most sold vehicles in the US. By the end of the year, Dodge actually surpassed that with the RAM. Prior to 2021 it was much more a Ford dominance. So why is there no Ford truck in the top 10? It would appear that people who buy Dodge vehicles make poorer choices regarding driving drunk, or perhaps they're just worse drivers and get caught more than drunk Ford drivers do.

> cocaine although a Selective Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor (SDRI) is illegal

I know you were discussing recreational cocaine, but fun fact: cocaine can be prescribed legally in most countries including the US. For relatively obvious reasons it's an uncommon prescriber choice, and it's generally applied topically (including to the nose) rather than snorted.

Legal methamphetamine pills are also available by prescription, and of course also an uncommon prescriber choice when alternatives work well, although its chemical relatives in the amphetamine family are very much among the commonly prescribed ADHD drugs.
