All vaccines have side effects -- the side effects are quite rare but are sometimes severe. Several thousand people have life-threatening reactions to vaccination each year. The standard vaccination schedule is comprised of vaccinations wit

Building apartments in cities makes sense, both economically and environmentally. Building anything in the open space in Marin is nonsense and would create an enormous commute problem as well as harm the environment -- both directly and wit

I just toss my cast iron griddle in the oven. It's not large enough to cook a huge pizza but I usually cook smaller pies anyway. Works great.

Where in Europe? There's a variance in the average consumption of over 400% depending on the weather. France uses much less energy than the US on average, but Sweden uses more. We see the same variance regionally within the US as well.

I already don't have cable, there's nothing to replace. I don't use youtube very often and if Google wants to paywall youtube entirely that's fine by me. Don't disingenuously introduce some silly entitlement canard

Google is currently selling this service for youtube, branded "youtube red." It costs $10/mo and as part of that they also offer to repair some of the crippleware in the youtube app. It doesn't seem worth it, to me. I ne

I don't have an agenda here, nor did I learn about these facts from the link above. You are simply spreading misinformation.

"Your own link makes note that selective incorporation doesn't apply to the bill of rights." No, it doesn't. In fact, it clearly states the opposite noting that the 3rd, 7th, 9th and 10th amendments in the Bill of Rights

I think we do see a lot of this today: Uber and Lyft already have incorporated ride sharing and I use that option every time -- when I'm in a city I frequently have another rider or two. I'm curious to see how this will increase a

No, higher speed always results in higher throughput given the same density. Your complaint is that cars lower density as speed increases, which is true, but you're still looking at this too narrowly. Consider the bus.

by throwaway76543 8y ago
You'll also want to take into account the 300% increase in speed. Transportation isn't about static density it's about throughput. Objects moving 3x faster can be 1/3 as dense and have the same overall throughput.

No one is yet sure whether traffic will increase or decrease. As you describe, people may buy self driving cars and use the self-driving feature to drive them more often. Wealthy folks and people in rural areas are almost certain to take th

Many internet death threats are not "true threats" and are indeed protected speech. Not all, but a surprising amount of it is. You can read more starting with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_Sta

All of this has been tried before with folks trying to funnel profits into charities. The IRS is going to say "no, we're considering these entities to be a single entity" and they may even say "and furthermore it's

This would be a quid pro quo contribution, already prohibited by the IRS. It's hard to see this "charitable conversion" nonsense as anything other than (potentially criminal) tax evasion. https://www.irs.gov/c

That's addressed by pipelining (rfc2449, published back in 1998). No batch primitive is necessary if the request/response sequence isn't serialized. The lack of a remote manipulation interface has always been a problem, howev

It's fine if it's used to simply pull down mail to a local spool. The inefficiency complaints usually stem from attempting to maintain mail on a remote server across multiple clients. POP3 does not implement a sufficiently rich pr

Nothing's guaranteed but the odds are very, very good. If you invest in a diversified index fund like VTI then 7% is a reasonable average growth estimate. Investing a lump sum is a risk -- you'd cut your fortune nearly in half if

I go 40 km/h regularly on one of these things, it feels slower than it sounds. I've also fallen at that speed, wearing no protective gear other than a helmet. Not the end of the world, no different than when I fell off a roadbike

Yes, creating liability traps might undermine Craigslist entirely. Imagine if a similar liability were created around regulating job postings or apartment rentals, where Craigslist derives its revenue.

It's much larger than just "casual encounters". Craigslist has shut down every single one of their personal categories. w4w, m4m, w4m, m4w are all gone. Even "strictly platonic" is gone.

I can't telepresence into a meeting while I'm driving, or while I'm on public transit. Being able to videoconference during my commute would be an enormous boon.

The term "carbon neutral" refers to the amount of carbon active in the ecosystem. It excludes sequestered carbon in underground deposits (coal, oil). If the term "carbon neutral" referred to all carbon on earth, then yes
