Where is that 80M number coming from? In 2010 there were 214M people with drivers licenses in the United States[1]. The NHTSA provides stats around this actually, the number of fatalities per 100,000 licensed drives around ~23[2]. So every

It seems to me that you see this problem mostly in suburbs. People didn't buy a house, they bought a lifestyle . A particular lifestyle that has no room for even the slightest inconvenience from others. During my suburban days I was a

This just isn't how software is built in practice. Engineers make dozens of architectural decisions every day. They may feel like small ones, but over time they add up to a whole lot of surface area. The skills you learn in Computer Sc

You can argue that Lyft, with it's tipping function, is the better option. I almost never leave a tip on Lyft, but my driver has no idea if I did or not so my rating isn't affected. When tipping happens well after the trip is over

I see no indication that agile is dying. The consultant speak cult that developed around it is. The hugely processed SCRUM version of it seems to be. Yet the fundamental idea behind Agile (in the manifesto) seems to be as relevant as ever:

There might be a really clever hash you could build, but it's actually a somewhat complex problem. Finding an overlapping range between two entities is easy... finding it for n-entities is a bit more difficult particularly if you want

I for one am a big fan of getting paid. "Doing a startup" is no trivial task. Just getting the funding in place to provide enough money to pay everyones bills is more than almost any "startup" ever achieves. This might b

Is it unreasonable to think there is legitimately valuable Intel on that phone? I'd say it's at least plausible, maybe even likely lives can be saved by getting at messages on a known terrorists phone.

I mean, I think Le Corbusier's work is sort of awful :) I'm not an architect, just a casual fan of architecture. For my personal taste the whole brutalist movement was a long series of boring, intimidating, and repressive building

I do understand that rural areas are going to need a level of protection from wild animals that might not be required in urban areas. How do people living in rural areas with strong gun control even survive?

It can only be a national issue. As long as the answer is "I'll just go over there and buy a gun" no meaningful gun control can possibly exist. See what's going on in Chicago currently to see this dynamic in action.

It makes more sense when you're working with old legacy code and you want to add features to it. No!! Testing is not merely about future proofing (although it's a really nice benefit), it's about proving that your code act
