I don't drive, but as a passenger, it is my understanding that the left lane is the fast lane and the right lane is to remain empty or mostly empty so cars can enter and exit the highway?

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Regardless, if I ever get my license, I'm pretty much always going to avoid the highway as my anxiety cannot handle those speeds.

I've only dabbled a little in cryptocurrency exchanges, so the terms seem to refer to the same thing to me, but maybe it's contextual? Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain the difference between market makers and speculators?

It saddens me that W3C approved a DRM standard for the web recently.

Morally grey? She made it known that US troops were committing war crimes.

Like that other person said, I was just pointing out a potential conflict in that statement.

The last thing anybody wants is for their profession to be automated away, so the conflict of interest is justified, but worth noting.

Also worth noting that you can still get paid if you work for a nonprofit.

Regardless, I think we could use a bit more automation in the legal field given how disproportionately distributed representation seems to be from my perspective as a relatively poor person.

"Attorney Scott Nelson, from the advocacy organization Public Citizen, says he isn’t convinced a chatbot can successfully win a lawsuit."

Gee, I bet there isn't a conflict of interest in that statement.

Not really. It says "up to $25,000" not "exactly $25,000" meaning you don't have to show $25,000 worth of damages if the damages are 1,000 and that's all you're suing for.

This is weird. I was skeptical at first, because I could have swore it wasn't this inefficient, but then I just went there and experienced similar results on a 2016 chromebook; 19.83 seconds.

Could it be all the separate CSS files they're linking?

> If 'all cultures are not equal' is a false statement then we're stating 'all cultures are equal'

Not necessarily. There is a system of logic where a double negation doesn't yield the same result. (e.g. if A = True, then !A == false, but !!A == true is not necessarily true)

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Most places that offer food or financial assistance do so in a manner that is detrimental to those receiving it, specifically due to sentiments like yours. Those in power with similar political mindsets as you purposely neuter the usefulness of these programs, making them difficult to obtain and then taking them away for arbitrary reasons at the most inconvenient of times, setting back those relying on them, probably while they're trying to become financially stabilized.

To be honest, I don't think we should be seeking monetary settlements in cases like these, but rather criminal prosecution.

Large settlements are about as good at deterring cops from committing crimes as they are at deterring bankers from committing fraud in the name of the bank, because in either case the "principal" -- person paying the penalty -- is neither the cop nor the banker. Police departments don't care because the money is coming from the taxpayers and not the cops. The banks don't care, because the fine they pay for the fraud is less than the profit taken by the fraud.

Would probably be easier to rent or buy a kiln and then make your own ceramic tiles. Cutting them after the fact is a frustrating experience.

Without looking into it further, it smells like a scam ...

This seems relevant:

Just saw this the other day. Not exactly for commercial farms I don't think, but not far off either.

In an ideal world, we wouldn't give more benefits to people who were more well off.

To use a rather odd analogy, imagine you're playing an RPG that becomes extremely easy as you advance in the game. Enemies just dying within 10 ft. of you. That's a shitty game. Earning that one extra dollar on the margin as you climb the economic hierarchy should be more difficult, not less.

I hate this idea that people wouldn't be motivated to earn more just because it's more challenging to do so. What kind of pathetic excuse for a human thinks like that? Our society is backwards.

Sadly not likely considering Trump just recently (2 weeks ago?) rolled back flood standards regulations to spite Obama.

This is tangential, but needs to be stated:

What I've learned from email newletters is that Microsoft Outlook needs to die a swift and horrible death.

There is absolutely no good reason why we should have to create email newsletters that require tables for layout.

After injuring the muscles in my back and shoulders, the only thing I've wanted VR for wasn't even the VR itself, but just an HMD for computing while laying down. It's hard to imagine how difficult it is just to sit or stand at a desk till you injure the muscles that keep everything upright.

The next step ideally would be a keyboard that comes with special gloves, or a pair of finger tip RFIDs or blutooths, one for each hand, that can be detected by some sensor on the keyboard, which can be used to calculate finger position in relation to the keyboard and display a virtual version of that on the bottom of the screen. These couple of peripherals shouldn't be too expensive to implement and bring to market I imagine.

Touch typing is great and all, and I don't really look at the keyboard while typing directly, but for some odd reason, just seeing my hands barely in the bottom of my vision box makes all the difference in my ability to type accurately. I turn the lights off and I can't type for shit. Maybe it has to do with re-orienting my hands to the keyboard. As I type this I notice every once in a while after pausing that I briefly look down at the keyboard and then back up.

Anyways, that was a small tangent, but VR should really focus on certain accessibility aspects going forward.

Black companies? As in Black Market or Yakuza?

They have computerized toilets, so compared to what I see in most of the United States, I'd have to say yes.

I don't understand how companies can be so bold as to file for patents on things that are already in industry use by more than the filer of the patent.

Something like that. Was mostly speculation (ba dum, tisch!), but thinking about it further, it seems like the transaction fee is too high for it being high volumes of individual transactions. Looking up the number of transactions on BCH, it seems like the volume per transaction must be much higher to get this overall volume, because the number of transactions is an order of magnitude smaller than bitcoin (~10%) [1]

Volume spoofing? Big players like Ver making it look less lonely to entice people over since transaction fees are so low right now that they can afford to pay them for the sake of spoofing volume.

Similar to how Jihan and friends spammed (currently spamming?) Bitcoin with empty blocks to take advantage of a weird loophole for the sake of the block mining reward and to increase the mempool volume to raise fees to miners.

Statistics is used heavily in machine learning.

Cleveland is great. The parkway off of detroit road in westlake gives a nice bike route that heads down near Strongsville and beyond.

Also Sherwin WIlliams.

Does the Blue line still break down sometimes in the winter due to ice on the wires? That happened to me once going from downtown to the end of the blue by Shaker.

The fun part was when the electricity began to arc and we could see a bit of fire on the top, but also couldn't leave the train because we might have gotten electrocuted, so our choices were to sit around and wait, potentially burning alive, or make a run for it and potentially get electrocuted.

I think I was too tired to care at that point in the morning (5am?) so I just sat annoyed that I'd miss the bus to work and read up on IBM Websphere. Not sure if that had anything to do with my lingering distaste for IBM Websphere, but I'm sure it didn't help.

Same. Sad thing is, as many of these virtual spaces that I have memorized, I've never utilized them for directed memorization efforts for other information using the "Method of the Loci" or "Mind Palace" techniques.

How many of those dependancies are trivial though? It's one thing to rewrite express, but something different to rewrite a package that just contains a function that capitalizes the first letter of a string or something similarly contrived, yet plausibly already a package.

I concur, but where I disagree is the sentiment "stop relying on others to tell you what to think!"

In order to fix errors and optimize, we need information. Trying to reason about a problem without adequate information is like trying to fix a bug when the only information you have is your QA folks coming back and saying "There's a bug."
