Obviously not.
We're just bad drivers in general, regardless of our level of intoxication. Texting. Dancing (I see this frequently). The number of elderly people who drive who shouldn't be is mind boggling.

I'm of a mind that its actually way too easy to obtain a drivers license in this country. For example; my mother took my uncle to get his drivers license renewed. Why she did is beyond me because he has early stage dementia. He couldn't understand the written test so the lady at the DMV just had my mom fill it out for him! Not even our own government cares whether we're qualified to drive!
Certificate Transparency does little to solve this problem. It doesn't stop MITM attacks. It might have a chance of helping a small number of companies that have the resources to monitor all logs, but that's after the attack and only if all relevant CAs are participating in the system. It gives ordinary users nothing and requires sysadmins to go to extreme lengths. Most websites are unlikely to benefit:

https://blog.okturtles.com/2014/09/the-trouble-with-certific...

We've been working very hard on an alternative proposal that prevents MITM attacks called DNSChain, and we keep a running comparison of it with other proposals folks have made here:

"People who drive under the influence of any mind altering substance (be it alcohol or weed)"

How bout coffee, energy drinks, cold medicine, most prescribed prescription medicines have some blurb about possible mental effects, tea, kava, nodoz caffeine pills, numerous herbal products ... We only complain about certain psychoactive drugs, and not others. Theres no logic behind it aside from residual cultural Puritanism, so looking for non cavalier logical behavior is likely to be fruitless.

Also it varies by state, and there are quite effective tests for THC, and we've got megatons of state laws on the books WRT inattentive and distracted and negligent driving that cover it quite well. Finally we have endless nuisance laws such that all of us are always criminals all the time that can be selectively enforce by cops on pot smokers, much as "driving while black" has been criminalized in certain areas.

Like yourself, I don't smoke (gives me an awful headache) but given the total net effect of prohibition, my kids are more likely to be killed as innocent bystanders in a shootout than killed by a stoned driver, so I'd prefer the lower risk. On the assumption that use patterns would change significantly with legalization (I'm still not going to smoke, my grannie still isn't going to smoke, its based on the "logic" that if abortion is legal nobody would ever have children, ever, which is pretty laughable). This logic is often seen in hyper-authoritarian areas. I live in a free area where cops won't drag me out of my house and shoot me if I paint polka dots on my house, of course nobody acts like that, but people who live in hyper authoritarian areas always under some HOA jackboots assume all humans would uncontrollably paint their houses purple polkadots unless the stormtroopers keep order under violent force.
The "Hot Dog Stand" theme was actually requested by more than one person. Gotta give the people what they want.
> I think even the most vocal marijuana opponents would agree schedule 1 classification is insane.

The most vocal marijuana opponents frequently publicly proclaim (perhaps with different wording) all three elements of Schedule I classification, so I doubt that.

> Stricter control than cocaine?

I would expect that the only disagreement many of those vocal marijuana opponents would have with that is that Cocaine should also be Schedule I, not that marijuana should not be schedule I.
Not a poker expert by far, but this could be because 2/3 can only participate in three straight draws (A2345,23456,34567) whereas 2/7 can be in seven straight hands. (A2345, 23456, 34567, 45678, 56789, 6789T, 789TJ)

Is there a way to get rid of flux boilerplate? I don't want to write three different files (a file with actions, another file with constants, and the actual store). For example, I can achieve the same effect with just a simple array and some functions to modify it. I guess I know what the benefit of embracing flux is, but it still looks too much, and I am mostly lazy.
"After smoking fairly consistently for 13 years, I seem to be blessed by having no negative effects of which I am aware."

Agreed. But I still tought the top category app should drive so many installs that even users launching the app just once should generate more than that. Looks like the the business category is driving less installs than other more popular ones, like games or photo apps...

How Boosted Boards Is Like Apple
I am ver surprised there is still no mass outrage over Android permissions.

1. They are not properly named or explained. And no, this shouldn't be on some obscure website. This should be right there, in the menu that asks for them.

2. There is no way to filter apps in the play store by permissions. This isn't just a privacy thing. Apps that require the least permissions are often least bloated and the most skillfully written.

It's obvious that both of these thing are deliberate, it's obvious that this is an issue, and no one cares.

Also worth noting that Apple has been around in Ireland since the 80s (Cork plant was open in 1981)

72 offsuit is the worst hand against a table of opponents because it is the lowest hand that has no straight or flush opportunities (using both hole cards)

23 offsuit is the worst hand against a single opponent because the likelihood of needing a straight or flush to win the hand decreases and the penalty for having a lower highcard is higher.
Honestly, yes it does.
Pinning has a lot of problems. Copied from our Comparison [1] docs:

Both TACK and HPKP are mechanisms for doing public key pinning for individual websites.

These mechanisms are similar to how SSH uses a known_hosts file to store the fingerprints of public keys it encounters on a "Trust-On-First-Use" ("TOFU") basis.

The problem with these mechanisms is:

* They don't protect on first visit.

* They break websites when the public key needs to legitimately change.

* In the case of TACK, the TACK public key needs to change very frequently (at least every 30 days). This defeats the purpose of pinning, as a MITM does not need to wait long before they can present a fraudulent key that the user has no way to know is legitimate.

* These mechanisms assume that client software has its current time set properly, and they break when that's not true.

While DNSChain does use public key pinning, it doesn't have these problems because there is only one pin that is ever required: the pin to DNSChain itself, which is easily verified once only at setup.

I've thought about using a pattern generator to set the background image of my IDE/editor based on the current file name. It'd be fun to see if any side benefits come up, such as:

The spirit of competition was wrecked by the choice to use client side time instead of server side time.

Would you run a race where every runner gets to choose when to begin?

Because that's what this is: A race without a central time authority. A race where each racer begins when his personal clock strikes "go".

Spirit of competition requires a fair playing field as a foundation, so there was no spirit of competition possible.

(NoScript also isn't against the 'spirit of competition'. If you want to ban a faster less-friction-causing swim suit, you have to ban it. You can't retroactively define the rules of competing!)

(Edit: Also, inventing rules of competition that aren't official rules to limit yourself to what you may consider 'honor' is called scrub logic. Play the game-- not your game, but rather the game as it exists with rules that are defined. If the rules aren't good enough, it's not the players fault).

One of the most brilliant programmers I know is a regular smoker and he has an amazing short-term memory. Though now I have to wonder what his memory would be like if he didn't smoke?
As a parent of three young children, we've established weekends (Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday) as video and screen time. This is pretty easy criteria for the kids to understand which makes it easier to enforce no video Mon-Thu. The weekends are nice because the kids get the equivalent experience of Saturday morning cartoons and it lets us parents sleep in a bit.

Even so, we notice that too much video (more than 40m-1h in one session) makes at least one of our kids pretty cranky. So, we might consider the time limit feature.

To keep them off the screen, we just have lots of clay, crayons, scissors, construction paper, tape, legos, books, puzzles, etc. And playground visits.

We often find that by the end of the day on the weekend, if it was one of those days where they watched a little more video than less, they complain that there was still [some craft project thing] that they wanted to do. So, providing a bit of structure to limit screen time ultimately is letting them get to do other things that they really want to do.

No you didn't. Here you are in the comments section telling us about it.
AQ vs KK is no different than A10 or AJ vs KK. Even middling Aces like A7 or A8 aren't much worse off because of the lost straight possibilities due to two K's being taken.

I haven't looked at the numbers but I would bet that A2-A5 are better off against KK than AQ.

From the article:

There's no reason to write an article like this if you're not willing to look at the reasons of _why_ prostitution is illegal since that underpins the entire thing. Instead it's just another libertarian rant about yet another regulated market that would totally be fine if the government would just get out of the way.

"There have been numerous studies in which the effects of marijuana have been assesed on performance in driving simulators and even a few studies conducted in city traffic. Much to everyone's surprise, the results of many of these studies revealed only relatively small impairments in driving skills, even after quite large doses of the drug. Several of the early studies showed no impairment at all, but as driving simulators grew more sophisticated and the tasks became more complex and demanding, impairments were observed, for example in peripheral vision and lane control. Marijuana users, however seem to be aware that their driving skills may be impaired and they tend to compensate by driving more slowly, keeping some distance from the vehicle ahead and in general take fewer risks (Smiley, 1986). This is in marked contrast to the effects of alcohol, which produces clear impairments in many aspects of driving skill as assesed in driving simulators. Alcohol also tends to encourage people to take greater risks and drive more aggresively" (Iversen, 2008, p.95)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Science-Marijuana-Leslie-L-Iversen/d...

Now personally I do not think it is at all a good idea to drive when stoned, but I do not consider it anywhere near as dangerous as driving when drunk.

Same goes for a lot of other drugs. I'd rather get in a car with someone driving on LSD than on alcohol. They might think the other cars are penguins, but their reaction time if the penguins get too close is still going to be reasonable.

People who drive under the influence of any mind altering substance (be it alcohol or weed) should have their driving privileges taken away

Caffine and most painkillers fall into this definition. I'd rather just replace the ignition system with a short driving game that you have to complete to start the car.
The design is scalable to any ticket amount, given enough time and servers. You accept connections and assign queue numbers and then delay purchasing. You add randomization of various requests and entry in the queue itself to prevent gaming or latency-derived unfairness.

I've worked on websites that return hundreds of thousands of dynamic content pages per second, and you don't even need to do that here: all you need is a landing page that sets cookies, and then you can take all day to actually allow people to purchase with the reservation number they've got.

The bug has nothing to do with any of that, though...
It fits the definition of "combat" used by almost everyone. And basically no-one would define it as "execution". So there's your problem there.

Health needs better data
I tend to use a temporary codename for my projects, and design the system with a future name change in mind. I find it helps let me focus on the actual functionality, and stops me from getting stuck on designing a brand name/logo for a product that doesn't even exist.

Another plus is that the design and parameters of my projects often change during development, so not having a predetermined name gives me the flexibility to make those changes without worrying about 'fitting' with the name.

Certainly, but an old cell phone camera wasn't a threat to a point and shoot - with features like facial recognition, flash, zoom (whether its optical or digital), video capabilities, expandable storage, ease of syncing with computer, night and other various modes.

Smartphones ushered all of those features into the device you already always carry with you.

And as i said, these markets still all exist in significant ways, but are a fraction of what they were at their height before strong competition from cell phones.

That's entirely irrelevant unless you're arguing that 40k (and/or N number of attempted buyers) are too many items to manage in a queue on the server side. Is that what you're saying?
> I'm pretty sure there's data of the translation from marijuana users->hard drugs users.

Even assuming that data is good, its an open question how much of that is causal, how much if it is "people who would use hard drugs anyway tend to stop by marijuana on the way because its more accessible", and how much of it is "people who develop relationships with illegal drug dealers through marijuana are likely to be pushed by them to other drugs at some point".

The first is exacerbated by legalization, the second indifferent to it, and the third mitigated by it, so simple correlation data doesn't really provide useful information for policy without some clear indication of why the correlation exists.
Those flame graphs look hella useful, hopefully the JDK patches make their way in so we don't have to futz around with customizing too much. Thanks for this!

Out of the zillions and zillions of weed smokers over the past 100 years, there has never once been a reported case of someone dying due to carcinogenic responses to the smoke. Granted, there has never been a formal study, but there have been adjacent studies and by all intents and purposes it appears to be safe.

> but it's insulting to attack other people's choices of a product name when it doesn't violate any valid and widespread social moral constructs

That's complete bullshit.

> You're the type of person that will take the freedom to own firearms and the right to defend yourself from the people

What on earth are you going on about? I have never once expressed an opinion on gun control, yet here you are attacking me for a position that you've entirely manufactured in your mind. It's entirely possible to support the right to own and use guns while still decrying the overabundance of violent imagery in our society.

> denigrating a product and it's creator because it doesn't fly with what you believe

When did the mere questioning of the name of a product suddenly become equal to publicly denouncing a product and castigating its creator? You, and everybody else who've been responding, are acting as if it's some great crime to express a dislike for an unnecessarily violent name. I have to assume this overly-defensive behavior is actually a reflex to defend the term "gun" rather than anything about this particular product.
just curious - were you high when you wrote this?

BrydgeAir Keyboard for iPad Air/Air 2: Almost Perfect
I think there are a couple of things with this.

The legal limit in most of the US (0.08 BAC) is actually pretty high, so you can legally drink and drive. For example at that level a 220lb man can have four (American 1.5oz) shots and hit the road immediately at ~0.7. So most drinking and driving you might have seen probably isn't (at least legally).

The second main reason is probably because there is no good mass transit. Most other countries either have the local pub you can walk to or some subway you can take - there's no 20min drive to meet somewhere.
Deployment of Federal Common Policy CA Root Certificate (2011)
I keep wondering why create a feature only to not implement it? What was the reasoning behind this soft write protection mechanism?
You intuitively know that's probably false.

You would have no trouble sketching a ranked list of countries more and less likely to produce Google. You would be shocked to see Google emerge from Burma. You would be surprised to see the world's powerhouse search engine emerge from Greece, Spain, or Italy. Even among the top-tier countries, if you had to put money on it, you'd need an extremely good payoff to bet on anyone but the US.

If the US has "overwhelmingly nothing to do" with the success of Google, you have to believe Brin could have moved to Greece, or even Burma, and successfully built that company. Most of us probably don't even believe he could have succeeded in Germany, or the Netherlands.

Even if you stipulate away all the extrinsic network-effects stuff --- ie, stipulate he'd have gotten funded despite parking his company in Greece --- you would not place the same bet for his hypothetical attempt to buid Google in Greece.
