Yes, Kamala Harris in particular.

What happened to "free as in speech, not free as in beer"?

> That said, there is also a puritan no drug element to these "anti-tobacco" lobbies that have nothing to do with harm or risk, they are just the Calvinists of our day.

True, and what's also weird is a lot of the anti-nicotine puritans are pro-marijuana.

I actually watched a video on CNBC's YouTube recently about the lottery and one thing they mentioned is that they've made the odds of winning worse to let bigger jackpots build up, so they're actually going in the opposite direction of what you'd like.

Oh yeah, in the city you might have a point. I was picturing a limited-access road in a suburb, with lights spaced pretty far apart.

This would feel better but isn't it less efficient because then there's more stopping and starting? Like instead of waiting at an average of 5 lights for 60 seconds, you wait at 10 lights for 30 seconds, which means you spend twice as much time decelerating/accelerating to/from a stop.

I agree, it is very interesting. Here's a longer article about it from a couple months back.

So basically never get into a business relationship with Google because if they screw you over you have absolutely no recourse, unless you've managed to steer clear of using Gmail, etc.

I love the SE too, I really hope they release another small phone within the next year.

The 70s were also the last decade before HIV/AIDS, I always thought that had a big impact.

The resemblance to the cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album is interesting. According to Wikipedia, the image used on the cover was of "the intensity of successive radio pulses" specifically from radio astronomy.

You're talking about the toy "Bop It" aren't you?

Absolutely! PyTorch and React are two of my favorite tools ever.

I really appreciated that it followed that convention because I was used to it. Also remembering 2 buttons (rotate and hold) makes it harder IMO. Being able to use up for rotate means I can just keep my finger hovered over the hold button. Then again I'm not much of a keyboard gamer.

Ever play Go?

Have you seen this (maps in over telnet)? Really awesome.

That is an interesting idea, sort of like how Gmail has the "Social" and "Promotions" tab.

Yeah YouTube's algo has become even more terrible, which I didn't think was possible.

What are some examples of the old conservationists? Theodore Roosevelt?

So is "I block JS" the new "I don't own a TV"?

>If their system decides it doesn't like you, then you're out of luck. You'll never get them to fix it.

Exactly right. The only way to get them to even look at it is to have a friend who works at Google or have tons of Twitter followers and pressure them by tweeting the story.

> It would be roughly analogous to an anonymous millionaire showing a pot of gold on TV (with respectable jewelers certifying that it really is gold) and then saying it will be buried somewhere in Arizona desert, here's the puzzle with the location.

Reminds me of the movie "Kumiko the Treasure Hunter" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3263614/

Uh oh, better raise those interest rates. Can't have inflation creeping up. Now that the middle class is starting to get a bit of the gains, the business cycle needs to be reset.

Absolutely! PyTorch and React are both awesome.

Gun to the head = the pressure of an interview?

I wonder when this will become a major issue in a US presidential election. Also I wonder what the major parties' stances will be on how to deal with the effects of automation.

>The effect takes hold quicker if I'm looking at someone else playing

Totally understand this. I refuse to watch people's vacation videos because the unpredictable zooming and panning makes me sick.

>If you know any 18-to-34-year-olds, they likely enjoy, or perhaps fearfully consume, Rick and Morty

Why "fearfully consume"?

Do we know for sure it's dead? Could there be a smaller form factor next year? It was about 3 years between when the 5S and SE were released.

We got pretty lucky though, George Washington and others were exceptional people.
