There does seem to be considerable distaste for the suburbs on regular display in large parts of the media. This title captures that perfectly: while the housing stock remains the same, it magically transforms from tasteless when suburban to beloved when the suburban area becomes urban.

I've also heard this line of reasoning referred to as "the soft bigotry of lowered expectations", due to its implication that not all groups of people can be held to the same standards of behavior as society as a whole.

So can many of those in the US. Hypertension isn't something to be taken lightly, especially given how easy it is to test for.

There are a couple of questions that I haven't seen addressed on this issue: why, if this is a feature of the software, is this expected to cost so much for VW to fix?; and how do they expect to get people to bring their cars in for the fix when the fix can be expected to make their cars get worse fuel economy and a decrease in power?

While immediately blocking all unknown numbers may well be excessive, I'd like a feature where all known good numbers (my "white list") go straight through, all known bad numbers (my "black list") don't even cause the phone to ring, and all other numbers go straight to voicemail. They'd be easy to review at my leisure for addition to my white or black list and the phone spammers would never again interrupt the peaceful enjoyment of my dinner.

Maryland has recently eliminated the parallel parking test from their driver's exam. In my experience, this was the only part of the test that required any significant amount of practice.

I'm unclear on the origin of these packages: are they all original works, or a vetting and repackaging of other packages? If the later, how are improvements being sent up stream?

I'd love to see this evolve into something production worthy, even if it can't be done in idiomatic go style. A good cross platform GUI library is, to my mind at least, the largest void in an otherwise excellent standard library.

If all he needed to do was to show some movement of the tracker, he could have just duct-taped it to a Roomba. He'd get much more realistic motion with much less effort.

While this will vary from country to country, at least here in the US there are several situations where the legal means are not more effective. The main one is scammers who just don't care, either because they're running a "hit and run" type of operation or because they're operating from overseas. Then there are classes of phone calls which are (again, at least in the US) exempt from the legal "do not call" rules: politicians making campaign calls, and survey firms, which the politicians use to determine who to bother calling. It's a nice loophole that they've constructed for themselves. Luckily it's only a problem for a few month every other year.

It seems as though at least for smart phones this could be easily solved through technological means similar to those used for screening email, something along the lines of a spam classification system.

I envision my phone having a white list of known good numbers, which would be allowed to cause my phone to ring like it does now; a black list of known bad numbers, which would be immediately dropped; and a catch-all handler for all other numbers, which would send the call to voice mail for easy manual classification into either of the other categories.

I was really looking forward to watching the landing attempt. At this point, I'm hoping for another launch delay pushing the attempt back to the 20th.

Funny stuff. What I find surprising is that these error pages are on the web site of Bloomberg news, a fairly serious and straight laced operation.

Another, simpler explanation for a slowdown in innovation is that the innovators have harvested all of the low-hanging fruit.

Yes, assuming that there remain any proofs which the model checkers and proof assistants haven't already discovered!
