Walking into traffic without paying attention and getting hit by a car is incredibly stupid. A sober person would be far less likely to do that.

The problem is that legally speaking these systems aren't treated as the primary driver, they're treated as an optional feature, basically just an enhanced form of cruise control, etc. Where they might get into legal trouble is if

If Apple had something for the web I'd almost certainly be using that instead. But in my case, I'm just trying to write JavaScript and avoid the other stuff as much as possible -- I'm more of a backend dev who's doing fr

I do and the development experience of working with something like Angular Material is pretty great. If you're building relatively simple interfaces it's not that bad. Most of what I do is data tables and CRUD, I just want nice an

I have a better idea than cleaning: build a machine that builds these so quickly and cheaply that you can throw them away every night when you're done.

It sounded like this was something that had happened in the past and was basically over with, not something that was ongoing. So either it ended amicably or HR made arrangements to ensure it wasn't an ongoing problem for the business.

Would that qualify as insider trading? Seems like Zuck did a similar thing recently before Facebooks most recent privacy scandal

To an extent I think that these things are promoted because they’re a very effective way to mislead people.

Seems odd to apply it after the fact in this case, though. Perhaps there was an ulterior motive for removing him. Otherwise I would expect Intel to just hide the information in order to protect the financial interests of the company.

You were implying that women were the more privileged ones. I don’t think that’s true. At the same time, you’re sort of correct here. Most men are not good at that anymore. But we are still better predisposed to dealing with conflict and te

Ironically this isn't far off from things Bourdain has said himself, on his show. I'd try and find an exact quote or clip but I don't have access to YouTube at the moment.

Well, we are good at violence both literally and metaphorically. Turns out that results in more economic, social, and political power.

So if meditation and yoga don't help the average person in this way, perhaps we need to change the meaning of MAGA to Make Acid Great Again. LSD induced ego death could be our new national high school graduation ritual.

That's weird, usually people claim the opposite. Perhaps perceiving having less of an ego is actually a symptom of having a huge ego. I wouldn't know; I've barely got an ego at all.

The due process is basically just a rubber stamped sham anyways — the only downside is that there’s a paper trail. But it seems that as a government agency you can just lie to the FISA courts to get your warrants and there won’t be any cons

Don’t worry, the (federal) government will still have no problems getting their hands on it. Any progress on privacy is great, but it doesn’t buy much as long as underlying issues aren’t solved. We still have a legal system that has no issu

Sounds like he gained the ability to create users, so he probably used that to get around any automated code review process as well.

Theres basically a lag in these statistics. You won’t see what’s happening now until it’s progressed further, and then another 15 years for the children born under those circumstances to grow up. And violent crime is actually beginning to r

There are more reasonable solutions than polyamory. Universal child care being the easiest to achieve, but it’s no more ridiculous to suggest that we all ought to live in multigenerational homes so our parents can retire and take care of ou

Despite its flaws it generally works in terms of creating a stable social structure and especially in raising children. Which I mean I suppose we could just decide that’s no longer important...we’ll probably be dead before society totally u

Current evidence seems to sugges that this is very harmful for children (which we’re having less of anyways). The long term trend is concerning. Western democracies can’t be sustained by a population which is getting dumber and more crimina

Unless you have a really good job I'd probably give the talk(s) anyways and see if you can get away with it.

A CTO and a VP of Engineering with overlapping functional roles is a very, very bad thing.

You probably don't have hardware level support for the VP9 codec, when YouTube switched to that my laptop at the time would run it's fans at 100% just to play a video.

It's still largely C++ based on the backend, I doubt they're going to add an entirely new compile target just to support a tiny minority of Linux desktop users. Especially since it would just be the Electron app anyways, which pro

Excessive consumption of video games, TV, takeout/delivery, booze, caffeine, and nicotine. And a decent amount of physical activity. Although I guess the above is more of an answer to "How do you manage your mental illness?"
