It seems pretty unlikely that worldwide this year has been significantly more dangerous than the previous two years combined. Sounds like marketing fluff to me.
Odds are you will hand your child at 16 a item that they are 4 times as likely to kill someone else with than a firearm. You'll pretend it is fine because it is a necessity of our society, but really it is a social status, convenience, and pleasure thing. Really, it would really be far safer to delay until they were more mature and weren't dealing with the early adulthood hormonal changes, further if we could find a better way it would be even better if we kept everyone from doing it period. You'll also pretend it is fine because you've trained your kid, you've had professionals train your kid, and frankly your kid is just a little better than everyone else. You'll be a little apprehensive of the danger and for a while you will worry every time they are out with it. You're nerves will calm some as they get experience, but you will still warn them until you die to be safe when using it. Don't worry though, we don't have to call it a weapon despite how very likely it is to kill someone, we can call it a vehicle. Also don't worry about your convictions on lethal weapons because it is inconceivable that anyone who would hand their children any other potentially dangerous thing would go through any sort of similar process: tablesaws, lawnmowers, firearms, clorox, etc.
I'd agree, being a grammar-nazi about clip is pretty useless, but being precise with automatic versus semi-automatic is important. Semi-automatic includes a huge swath of hunting rifles and shotguns that look like hunting rifles that a whole lot of gun-control voters aren't really that enthusiastic about controlling.
All respect to Alton Brown, but my BBQ claws for shredding pulled pork are 10 times more efficient than either eating or serving forks. Although I will not deny pretending to be Wolverine for my children.
There are two conflicting use cases for addresses given a physically large urban location: consumer and delivery. I've found several cases where I've been dumped at an inaccessible delivery address by GPS while looking for the public entrance of something.
Live training is (theoretically) more expensive than sim training. Just saying dump simulators because they aren't true to life means you will probably have more realistic training time but a whole lot less training overall. The people in charge of training should be trained to understand the limitations of all the training measures available and plan training accordingly to provide the largest benefit possible...again theoretically.
We only had video artifacts during primetime. If it were simple over-compression then shouldn't we have seen a steady rate of artifacts across the day? Towards the end we eventually had to give up watching TV during primetime. We'd have minutes of blockiness or missing audio. During the daytime, the picture never had artifacts.
I went to DSL and DirecTV at my previous residence because the cable company oversubscribed the street and I would have useful bandwidth anytime except for between 5pm and midnight on weekdays. This not only ruined normal internet use but cause all sorts of digital signal artifacts during primetime TV.
Anonymous voting is pretty important, but I'll join you in the concern that I've got no way to go back and make sure my vote was properly recorded despite the problems that causes for anonymous voting.
I've been doing my daily number of required searches for the Bing rewards program for a while. I can usually get fairly helpful answers for everyday things, but when I start diving deep into technical problems it is beyond useless. As for me being the product, what major search engine can I use that isn't mining my searches for profit?
Well voice messages fail to convey information properly because you can't gauge emotion without non-verbal cues.
Video messages fails because it is difficult to communicate emotion without emotional feedback from your audience.
Face to face communications fail because human language is not very precise.
My prediction is if she got her way, then they'd sequentially replace their services until they get to the last one and find out in many cases you need written communication with language conventions defined in a fairly precise way. Either that or she is an extrovert and won't even see the failings of her "solution."
Well I guess this is correct: "the fear that emails, texts and instant messaging rob conversation of emotional nuance, leading to endless misunderstandings and social blunders." But a bigger fear for me is engaging in verbal communication which absolutely leads to endless misunderstanding and social blunders. Verbal communication can't be endlessly revised to convey actual meaning without sounding like a jarring mess or having to reencode the entire message.
That would be too bad. Huntsville leans pretty heavy on government services for its economy. It is nice to see the engineering talent attract other industries and pretty vital for long term growth.
Not having an EV: Are the chargers smart enough to delay charging until night? If not, while it does charge during off-peak hours, it also happens to be charging all the way through peak hours.
Most bad programming ideas are bad programming ideas because they don't scale. They work fine in a small code base with sufficient documentation. They probably work fine sparingly in a large code base with good documentation. The problem is that if we teach bad programming ideas are routinely OK if we are careful, then we rely on them and when scope grows and we inevitably hit a moment in the project that doesn't allow for solid adherence to good software engineering practices then it blows up in our face spectacularly.
The summary sounded like they were opening up IFTTT for manufacturers to use it internal to their own software. For example, that might mean that if Belkin so chooses, instead of their own scripting rules in the WEMO app they could use IFTTT scripting. It doesn't seem like they are opening up their ecosystem for third party scripting.
On the other hand, every website in the %#@*ing world wants me to use their terrible app and put their greedy little fingers in my phone rather than let me use their mobile capable website. If this means companies will start relying on browsers again, bring it on and give me more.
What is on sale is often the most "informative" thing in the dead tree newspaper. My wife's grandmother still subscribes to the Sunday paper. I'm the only one who even skims the black and white portions of the 20ish people who touch it.
I've gotten in to Tim Ferris' Podcast lately. I don't always agree with him, but definitely interesting. I listen to one recently and he said: "Being busy is a form of laziness." Essentially a lot of people fill up their schedule with tasks that aren't very valuable so they don't have to do the most difficult things on their todo list.
It is also worth noting that in several places including the US it is not unheard of for socially rejected young men to turn to physical violence against society. Harassing people online seems like a bit more socially adjusted response among some of the other options.

Most people have their phone within GPS resolution 24/7 anyways.

It makes the other drivers nervous when I do that on my commute, especially if it is a hardback.

I thought that was in there but I was also getting something about a TV show I think. It was like two or three summaries hit head on at highway speed.

Thanks. I didn't expect it to be a difficult hurdle. I was just curious about the current state of things.
