Doctors, architects, and engineers make rules to be followed by doctors, architects, and engineers respectively. Lawyers are making rules that they expect everyone to follow regardless of profession or ability to understand. I would call that a significant difference.
I read your link. The part I find surprising is that the author finds it surprising that modifying mmap-ed memory might involve file I/O. Why wouldn't it? So the answer is to NOT safeguard from data loss by letting it hang around uncommitted forever? I can make it WAY faster, I'll just make all calls that write to a file be a NOP, that'll be really fast as long as you don't care about your data.
The solution is to use the APIs correctly. Either put the file in tmpfs or use SYSV shared memory.
TL;DR: When you french fry when you should pizza, you're gonna have a bad time.
So, your advice is to put the best guys in straitjackets so you can keep the idiots you hired from poking themselves in the eye with a fork when they go to lunch?
Linus chose to let the best guys do their best work and if anyopne comes back from lunch with a fork in their eye, send them to the doctor and invite them not to return.
And yet it's eaten everyone's lunch with it's informal but successful QA. Just because it doesn't have a manager reading up on the latest fad and implementing it everywhere, badly, doesn't mean it isn't getting the job done.
Drones are unmanned. They need safety, but not the same sort. While a manned plane needs to be able to safely land above all else, all a drone needs is the ability to crater an empty field if it has a problem.
But funny you mention pilots. We have already downsized the crew by 33% by automating the flight engineer out of the picture. Next step, the plane flys on auto most of the time and we do away with the co-pilot.
I believe it involves the phrase "Want fries with that?", but robots can do that sort of thing easily enough, and robots are getting cheaper by the day.
And many more would love to learn to do something, but won't get hired if they don't go the expensive route to learning. Alas, being unemployed, there's not much prospect to pay for that education and keep their family in food, clothing, and shelter for 4 years.
If that whole deal was supported, they would likely do something, even for free. Why are you so determined to turn the great dream into rivers of misery?
There are a very few (true) studies that show smoking provides a benefit in some small area of health. Those studies don't even attempt to look at the balance of good vs. bad effects.
People who take drugs, be it alcohol or something else, doesn't do so to become better drivers.
The reason they took them isn't terribly relevant. But note that people on therapeutic levels of stimulants are BETTER drivers than sober.
Even some completely sober people have trouble with handling all traffic situations and since there are other people on the road you can't always compensate by driving slower.
Meanwhile, look up hangover. It isn't what you think it is.
Sure, but likewise a stoner is more likely to give up on that impossible left across 4 lanes of traffic and take a longer but easier route.
As for your links, the first uses a common dodge when you want to put your thumb on the scale. It measures involvement rather than attribution. Sor example, a sober trucker's brakes fail and he runs over a motorcyclist stopped at a traffic light. If the motorcyclist had any amount of THC in his system, it is counted as involving a driver with THC in his system. Such stats are more revealing of how much of the population is using marijuana.. The key phrase you want to look for is "caused by"
OTOH, you either are or are not fit to drive. The reason you're unfit to drive hardly matters. If that's not important enough to put in place, why not just go all the way and drop DUI laws?
If you fear the AARP, set the levels so they can pass them.
In fact there have been some studies that show stoned drivers slow down enough to fully compensate for their impairment, and so are no more likely than a sober driver to cause an accident (though they might be annoying to get stuck behind.
Some industrial operations DO get real time pricing and will up their use when it's cheap. Neighboring zones of the grid as well. They might choose to shut off a fast reacting gas turbine plant and "buy" the power, especially for a negative price.

I don't know about New York, but in many places there are "court fees" that exceed most tickets that you have to pay if you contest it, win or lose.
The city defined the laws. If they did it so badly they can't explain it to their own cops, it's on them.
These particular ramps would be primarily 'useful' for jaywalking since they are mid block.
If the cops wish to protest, they need to at least mark them off as no parking.

They were making out according to reports.

That makes a lot more sense and exactly what we should be doing. Personally, I don't care what -ism label we apply to it.

Obviously people who value human misery above all else.

So we create massive value by having every Citizen own that means of production. Communism through the back door! What's that boinging sound I heard?

On the interstate, driving slower means 50-55 in the right hand lanes rather than 70+

First, learn the definition of lying. Second, learn that that isn't the sort of accusation a civilized person tosses around ligghjtly.
Then, read this and this.

Considering how soon after the street cams were installed, cops got caught using them to upskirt teen girls, you're probably on to something.

They would have to get rid of the heat or burn up the resistors. Where would you put 10 GW on short notice? Boil a lake?
I'm sure the FDA is wracking it's brains looking for a way it can jump in and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
