Maybe that would be a good way of making cities more human friendly instead of car friendly - if you want to cross the road, just go for it and the cars will stop or avoid you. Probably not a good idea on highways and fast roads obviously.

Once a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric. I think that people would find ways of targeting their learning towards these brain scans, without actually getting useful experience and learning, so their usefulness would go

I don't think they were storing them in plain text, but on a login request it would log the request body without properly censoring the password. The password could still be hashed when it was actually put into the database.

I never said it was good UX in general, just that it is good UX for me. And with tools like git one you learn the commands the UX doesn't matter. For a developer tool I think that is fine.

What advantage would always moving homes have over parked ones? They still take up the same amount of space, just the space they take up is always changing, and is more valuable since it also happens to be on a road.

I quite like gits user experience, personally. If you don't like it, there are lots of tools built on top of it that make it easier to use. Not sure what the issue is.

I'm not a libertarian, I just think the current speed limits should be increased to the speed people actually drive at, and then enforced. Speed differential is a big component of what makes driving dangerous, rather than just speed it

by GhostVII 8y ago
It seems unrealistic to try and get to 0 deaths on the road. Just with every other activity, there are risks that come with driving and I think people should be allowed to accept those risks, just like they do with any other somewhat danger

It's interesting that the headline and article seems to be focused on the advertisers targeting ads towards men when there were also instances where the ads were targetted towards only women. Shouldn't those both be equally wrong?

There are also lots of great economists who oppose UBI, so I don't think that is a great argument.

Wow, I knew Musk wasn't good at speaking, but he doesn't look at all like a CEO here. Part of that is probably because it is a long interview where he didn't get the questions ahead of time, but he just doesn't seem very

I interpreted it as saying that, if you are in a specific European country, 30% of the content must be from that country you are in.

Sounds like the kind of pointless law that streaming services can easily get around by just buying the rights to super cheap movies from the country. Although apparently "streaming services will also have to ensure visibility and promi

Doesn't seem particularly notable, they got rear ended at 15 miles an hour while essentially stopped.

I doubt that the current administrations policies have had much effect on the economy yet, not enough time has passed. And even if the economy was doing well due to their decisions, you can't use that data to determine that policies th

The difference with computers in the "cloud" is that there is a much higher incentive to hack them since there is much more data on them, and hackers can be fairly confident that they will get valuable data in a hack. This is not

It sounds like it wasn't intentional, as Facebook has said they are looking into it, rather than putting out a post explaining their reasoning behind it.

Because over time, stocks tend to increase in value, because you are investing in a company that is producing something of value. You have a reason to believe that stocks will increase in value over a long period of time, other than just hi

If you make below minimum wage as a tipped employee, your employer must make up the difference. Saying that they make $2.13/hr is misleading.

He seemed to throw the minimum wage thing in as an afterthought though, not sure that was actually a significant motivation for him.

I mean it seems reasonable that the city wouldn't allow you to put anything you want on public property, especially if that thing is generating you revenue. I'm glad the city steps in and prevents people from doing things like thi

It's important to note that men are also more likely to survive if the ER doc is female.

I think it is pretty unethical to give someone access to company data without the companies permission, and especially to allow that person to actually work on company products.

Speak for yourself, I'm Canadian and would love to eliminate gender discrimination from auto insurance
776.
by GhostVII 8y ago
Wow, I had no idea they discriminated based on race, that sounds kind of wrong to me. I mean for medical purposes it makes sense, do they also do it for auto insurance, where, in theory, your race does not make a difference?

by GhostVII 8y ago
It's interesting how people generally consider it acceptable for insurance companies to discriminate based on gender, when that discrimination would probably not be considered OK in other areas. You don't choose your gender, why s

They are still fighting against the listed content, just not banning it. Just like, afaik, they don't ban political content, just make it spread less quickly.

The title of this article is pretty awful, Zuckerbergs position on the topic actually seems pretty reasonable - they don't ban controvertial opinions/falsehoods, they just limit their distribution through the news feed, unless the

The last couple companies I worked at offered a dinner at ~8:00. There was no pressure to attend and as far as I know hardly anyone did.
