It's the standard.

I don't think any of this is new, it's a continuation of a trend. I'm intending to have children soon (admittedly later than normal), and it was only in my parent's day that the interstate highway system came into being.

> My main worry is people who live in relatively safe areas, like a suburban neighborhood, but with neighbors that will STILL call CPS on you for allowing them a little freedom. I think this is the real problem, a lack of a low stakes me

You obviously aren't allowed to box to the death and shouldn't be, but it represents a meaningful middle ground between anger and crime.

You could always box. As far as I know there is almost no pre-qualification required for a private sparring session and even the qualification to be a professional is a very low bar (IIRC it is primarily a matter of eyesight, since you can&

Most systems I have seen allow for you to delete characters. This was close to 20 years ago now though so perhaps it has gone through a worse is better phase. Now, the issues you state are very real, terrifying, and depressing. Still anythi

This is an underrated idea. Putting a very smart and motivated person on the other side of the proble is better than any static set of incentives that can be gamed.

I was expecting survival analysis to show up at some point. Perhaps it did, at some point I started to skim.

That's the thing, people will wear an accessory, but different people will wear different accessories and will absolutely refuse to wear others. It makes it very hard for a business when, for instance, very few men are willing to wear

Diabetes falls under dangerous medical conditions, and they have a variety of wearable devices now for continuous glucose monitoring that are popular. They're invasive though, can allow other people to learn about your medical history

The reason it needs to be a watch (I have also done several years of research in this field, by the way) is that devices only provide a benefit if you use them. There are decades of research with all kinds of wild wearable devices in all ki

In another thread I mentioned the need for organized (in the sense of same place, same time) unstructured activity. Gather at the basketball court, if practice or a game break out that's good, if not that's OK. It seems like every

Yeah I think simulations are massively underused. They might not help you prepare for a black swan type event, but a lot of times we're not ready for very normal problems. I suspect a day or two per year spent doing basic modeling and

Personally I love untangling old PHP/Ruby systems and striking that balance between paying down technical debt, squashing bugs, and getting new features to users. I prefer the unique challenges of hundreds of thousands or millions of l

Yes, but for a brief period of time it felt like most people saw this as a weakness humanity was in the process of overcoming. What is sad is that several communities (not just SO by any means) discovered ways to rebrand this ancient vice i

It's extra clicks when navigating between tabs.

But it's also like dating in that a successful outcome is worth exponentially more than the time it takes to read a few dozen profiles.

I just wish they would get rid of tab groups, what a pain those are!

That's a good point but these days kids are exposed to so much mis- and disinformation that we have to train them on working in a malicious information environment rather than hoping they never find themselves in one.

Yes, but can you automate being a record company executive's nephew?

It's the second one, though the NRA is a special case in every way.

And that's all fine, but when the IT Department turns itself into a black box and doesn't tell anyone what bar software needs to clear to be used that's when shadow IT happens.

This was a lesson I learned very recently. As a dev, I think about security in terms of exploits and making sure software doesn't have them (as well as having features required to implement user/data policies). An IT person thinks

Or is it? The Bing answer is about $600 billion less than the human generated answers. One of them is wrong (or at least outdated), I don't know enough about BoA to know which though.

Football and baseball are tricky cases because it takes a lot to get 11 players to work in anything like unison and if someone like the left offensive tackle (for a right-handed quarterback) forgets their job or is incompetent it's qui

I've come to see obesity and our production of elite athletes as two sides of the same coin. When I was in high school my baseball and football practices were 2-3 hours long and I would be exhausted and wheezing by the end of them. I h

This is true, it's also very difficult to do in most business situations (getting the schema right from the get go).

> I think one mental trap for solo devs is to over identify as SWE and not as online entrepreneurs with SWE skills as a particularly helpful asset. This is one of those scary truths that chased me out of entrepreneurship. It's scary

Exactly, but that's very expensive and these strikers just had their pay go to zero.
