Progressive penalizes you for what's called a 'Hard stop' which is 7 Miles per hour of deceleration per second. Living in Austin Texas at the time taught me a few things to avoid the penalty.
- Run most if not all stop signs in parking lots, - Not give any shits about yellow lights - Run some red lights if the yellow was too short. - Switch lanes rapidly to avoid cars slowing down for *anything* - Increased my anger at other drivers for forcing me to hard stop, ( eg: playing it safe and avoiding a head on as someone gets into the wrong lane )
I had to effectively dive my vehicle like a golf cart to avoid the hits to my discount which translated into poorer driving habits that have persisted long after we switched insurance companies.
I am not alone in this either. You can spot a progressive driver a mile away.
On this we can agree, Hypothesis as to how they obtained their position scores very high on the 'guess' scale of 'educated guess'. I would agree on the Hydro-static balance but I feel there is a very real relationship to a planet and it's captured moon.
Planets can be moons to each other for certain. I guess the final definition in that equation would be which one orbits the other.
I will continue to call Pluto a planet despite what some overgrown astronomy club thinks it should be called.
There's too many diverse celestial objects to try and identify with legalese. The U.S. Government can't even describe a home loan in less than 10k pages, the trend these boffins suggest would deforest this planet and any others found to posses fibrous growths that could be used for paper.
Occam's Razor: Planets are spherical and orbit a sun, moons can be any shape and orbit planets.
Nearly nobody paid attention when they drove before Cell phones were a thing. I have ridden on the sidewalk at all times regardless of what the cops said about it.
The laws of physics give no shits about the whimsy of mans laws and the citation for those violations are rarely pleasant.
Grouping these up in a way that makes a touch more sense.
The destruction of the GNOME project thanks to the horribly failed GNOME 3 debacle. * The destruction of the Firefox web browser thanks to numerous fucking idiotic changes being forced on its users by Mozilla.
Nobody cares any more because realize that Mozilla is so f'ed up that it has to get worse before it gets better.
* Firefox OS failing worse than nearly any software project has failed in a very long time.
How is this not a GOOD thing? Maybe it will force them to concentrate more effort on core products, like fixing the memory leaks and other bugs in Firefox.
See, there's always a silver lining around every cloud.
Firefox lost me with the insatiable pace of updates knocking my extensions out of compatibility. The fact that Google offered a hugely more streamlined experience sealed it's fate. Now, I only use it when I am testing something that requires cross-browser support. It can die and I could not care less, neither would I care to read an article about it.
* The rise of FreeBSD and OpenBSD, thanks to systemd ruining Linux.
* The destruction of Linux as a viable OS, especially when used on servers, all thanks to systemd being forced by all of the major distros.
This has to be some of the most cleverly disguised FUD campaigns I have ever seen. Linux is still quite relevant, and is still overtaking MS products which have recently begun charging licenses *by the core* for it's 2016+ Server products. Then there's the Windows 10 thing which I am witnessing people begin their migration to Linux. I work at a very large global corporation with thousands of AWS servers and I have seen at MAX one or two OSX servers.
As for Systemd I was angry that they were changing things that didn't really seem to have a purpose but it makes a lot of sense with the bottom statement.: "One of systemd's main goals is to unify basic Linux configurations and service behaviors across all distributions."
FreeBSD FTW. If it's good enough for Sony and Apple,...
Again, what's so bad about a system with no licensing restrictions, as opposed to the GPL?
You say that like it's a bad thing to replace a restrictive license like the GPL with a freer license.
* The fall of the GPL thanks to people wanting to use truly free licenses like the BSD and MIT licenses.
You mean Profitable. Under the BSD License I can take any open source you develop and change it a bit and be completely free to return that code to a proprietary format and NOT share *any* code in my product or offering.
* The fall of Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
That was an easy one to figure out pretty much right from the get-go. Only the n00b language-of-the-month people got sucked into that.
^^ This right here. Thank god that support / upgrade Nightmare is going to be over soon.
* The Rust and Perl 6 programming language disasters.
And? There weren't that many people using Rust, and Perl 5x still works fine.
* The Go and Swift programming language success stories.
Nobody who's not using it cares. Replacing a set of tools with another because "NEW" has been done too many times.
* Microsoft porting.NET to OS X and Linux.
They're free to do whatever they want. That's not suddenly going to make someone who didn't use it before suddenly want to use it.
No matter the language there will always be sloppy programmers available to make it look bad. Some languages just seem to invite a disproportionate number than others. I can't wait to see the looks on the.net goofs!

'drop whatever you are doing this is your top priority' then 'why is xyz not done yet'.
You're smoking crack. This is in no way ' you got promoted to manager'.

Also a good write-up by a blogger here:

This.
All these ____________ demanding we drive electric vehicles while prohibiting any new power plants or power grids to charge them.
Some people really *do* require a decent slap to the face to make them consider the possibility their thought process has a flaw...
So in other words it's a Giraffe, Beaver and a Oyster having a threesome...
I don't see Google and Apple being competitors anymore than a Giraffe is a competitor to a Beaver.
Totally different beasts imho.
Gah, this was supposed to be for Harperska

I can agree with your assessment.
