    You know that proving causation is a darn difficult thing to do and most science (specially statistics basic science) doesn't even attempt to do so right? and that the "correlation doesn't imply causation" mantra means that statistics based science is fallible, not that it is entirely useless when it doesn't help to rationalize you laziness, right?

    People who commute alone in cars are grossly egotistic, their sex lives are strictly masturbatory, even if they have partners.

    I've heard this a thousand times, I might have been true in 2010, but is not anymore, at least in Mexico selection is bigger (for this I would like to watch), I used to use VPNs to get access to US netflix before they started to crack it down, and stoped using them because they were no longer necessary and in the last months or so they were even counterproductive.

    Yes, driving means you have to be 100% focused on the road and the vehicle, no exceptions. You also should know your route beforehand is your responsibility; motorists have it easy in their ton of steel cages with belts and airbags, a small hit at 20 km/h is nothing but a bruise on the bumper, but what most of this egotistical assholes doesn't mind at all is that they share the road with pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists who will be (and are) seriously injured by the idiots that make traffic jams, stay in debt for their stupid ton of steel and waste fuel to move 20 times their fat asses weight around town.

  7. No, a hundred times no. I won't stand for further dumbing down of user interface so an idiot can break the law and put other people in danger.

    This should be implemented worldwide; I would just add a minor tweak: dead penalty at second offense.

  11. Re: One word on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No Huge Leaps Forward In CPU/GPU Power? · · Score: 1

    And who is going to predict execution time in a multi-threaded environment? The compiler? Or you? your solution is too wasteful and most often than not the obligated execution order is like it is because some step produces large secondary effects (like sorting) and not simple small set responses. Furthermore if the response set size is bigger than two, then you are going to waste n-1 hours of execution, were n is the size of the response set so is actually counter productive. Pro hint: multicore machines aren't non deterministic machines.

    Just stay away from Geekhack, Deskthority or /r/MechanicalKeyboards; they community is actually pretty nice until they lead you to believe that expending hundreds of dollars for a board with 80's alps switches and designer keycaps is perfectly normal; and that having more than 10 keyboards is actually a sensible financial decision.
