Sure, I'm all for a test that can determine your actual capabilities on the fly. What is that? I agree that the "why" isn't that important (or at all), but what is the alternative?

They weren't proving that they were stoned while driving. Before, being stoned at all was illegal. Different charge, different enforcement.

I agree 100%. This is not an insurmountable problem. But we have so many fanatical supporters of marijuana that no laws can be passed that would possibly limit its use.

So what's the test for that? Are you ok with giving police the authority to draw blood on a whim? Basically, we either accept an invasive test, or we can't enforce the law. Which is 100% different than what it was before.

You're probably right. It's a little over the top editorializing, but it's making the point. I travel quite a bit, so when I come back it's a very stark difference for me. My wild guess is that it's the boiling frog

Everything about enforcing driving stoned has changed. The stuff stays in your system too long to have a convenient test like alcohol does. So now you effectively have no way to prove whether or not someone was breaking that law.

The change was very drastic between pre-legalization and a year after. It was already medically legal when I moved here, and I didn't notice it at all, except of course right around the dispensaries. I do find it funny that everyone he

I understand that it's illegal to smoke outdoors. But in the same way that it's illegal to speed on the highway - nobody really cares until they need to meet a ticket quota. The largest part of the problem is my apartment complex.

I live in Denver, and I hate the legalization. To be clear, I have nothing against people using drugs, and in an ideal state all drugs would be legal. But now, that's all that Colorado is: one big haze of pot smoke. I can't get aw

I would venture that it has something to do with Alibaba and not really a lot to do with Yahoo. Yes, it's a good financial call, but it puts all of the control in someone else's hands.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective. I don't think that comparing anywhere to San Francisco yields many meaningful results, though. It's pretty much an outlier no matter how you look at it. I would hazard to say that the

The reason that I heard was something about OpenGL. I was very disappointed about this, mostly from what implications it has on the future of their other games.

I agree with this, but I don't think that it accounts for everything. For example, my experience in Denver is that wages are below national average, but cost of living is much higher. The consensus that gets spouted here is that the o

It's a little terrifying that this needs to be said. We are now operating under the assumption that if you are white, then your life can't be bad in any way and you have money to burn. I guess the propaganda has worked.

I think the problem is that you're assuming that safety rating == safety. The big deal is to make sure that the companies are able to operate and pass the safety checks with a sufficiently high mark. Since those are based on the existi

Instead of simply measuring volume of all content created, I would like to see a measure of high quality content created. I think that sharing of high quality content leads to a higher demand for it, while sharing of low quality content

I don't think you're disproving his comment. The fact that your mother was awesome doesn't mean that women like her are common.

I also spent more on video games in the last year than it costs. What's your point? That it's so cheap he should just buy it, even if there are better, cheaper tools out there? That seems like a waste to me.

This is simply a matter of training people that you interact with. If you treat your own time as valuable and don't immediately respond to everything, eventually everyone else will come to think of your time as valuable also. The trick

DIA was built so far away due to complaints of noise from the locals. The distance was intentional, however dumb.

This is advice that is widely ignored, but incredibly important. Doing what you want in life is vastly more rewarding than doing something just because you're expected to.

I agree. I had an interview ask this, and it was essentially solving a problem that one of their clients had presented to them. And they needed it within a week. It felt very much like they were just exploiting applicants for crowd-sourced
