I think drivers should be more aware and conscious that they are piloting a 2 ton or so vehicle. We all drive our vehicles next to everything from scooters to double tractor trailers. I have people turn in front of me in my car or motorcycl

I am only knowledgeable of the chef world and aws so my advice reflects that. Get a free opscode, github and aws account. (The aws account is pretty limited at the free tier so I would probably just spin up small instances and kill them aft

I think that is nonsense because everyone has a Lactate Threshold. His may just be at a faster pace then most ultra runners. Regarding your last comment: Anything under approximately 10 mile race pace is under your lactate threshold pace (L

Ours are named after comic book characters but the best thing is they are in alphabetical order.

I'd point to the internet in general as well. It's pretty much ubiquitous at this point. Just stay inside and spend hours on youtube and facebook instead of going outside and getting up to no good.

Just an additional data point: NFS does not work when you use vagrant with windows as your host OS. Things like git status when run from within the Ubuntu VM was something like 25 to 50 times slower (IIRC 7 seconds vs. 5 minutes) then when

The 35 hours to lose 1 lb. of fat is VERY questionable to me. There are ~3500 calories in a lb. of fat. Walking or running 1 mile consumes at LEAST 100 calories but usually closer to 120 calories. So they are walking 1 hour miles? Not all &

I don't think this is a binary choice: a. do nothing b. take up arms and revolt But now may be the time that we need to actively take action so we don't have to exercise said rights at some point in the future. Frankly if they ar

I read a recent 2600 article that said it's fairly easy to procure (from overseas) a jammer to prevent the lock signal from reaching the car. It would not open the doors but instead stop them from locking so the would-be thief would later m

Not really. Like sendgrid if you start generating spam complaints, lots of bounces, etc. they'll shut you down. Their total deliverability is adversely affected by any spammers that use their service.

They already have image algorithms to detect nudity with a good degree of accuracy so that's probably enough to forbid an image or video.

Use sacbee to look up how much police officers make in the area. Hint, a hell of a lot more then I do as a programmer with 10+ years of experience. Hell, that campus police officer that pepper sprayed those kids at Berkeley makes 6 figures.

I almost made that same mistake. I was thinking "are there even 20 racial groups"? Acceptance rate at Harvard is 5.9% for instance. So you get almost 20x applicants than you can accept.

Except many gyms have strict "no video" policies because of pervs. Quite frustrating to not be able to video yourself. I requested an exception once at a 24 hour gym and they had the most inane excuse. They said "there may be witness protec

Apple is just as interested as locking you into their world (itunes, app store, icloud, etc.) as google is. And apple gets I believe 30% of the ads you're shown within their ecosystem so you are the customer AND the product.

By "trogs" are you referring to troglodytes? I have never heard that being a synonym to far right republicans so am a bit confused.

Seems like there might be a way to do so that preserves due process, has the burden of proof on the accuser and has penalties for abuses. As far as I can tell DMCA takedown notices work fairly well in most cases. The main issue is that th
