This is true, but I think the bigger deal is that some people actually like driving (maybe not the trafficky daily commute). Some speeders fit this category, but also others who just like being precise on the curves, being in the flow of an uncrowded road, and even expressing their neighborliness to others.

So far, self driving cars drive very clumsily even when they are safe. More scope for embarrassment and frustration than anything else if you identify with the behavior of your car. “Chill mode” for example, chooses the right of a four lane road until the last minute instead of making lane changes when space allows. Awful.

But even if the cars get better at it, some people will miss driving.

Oh, I remember now, aerial photography highlighting how coastal millionaires illegally restricted access to California beaches. Thanks

Fuck the NY times

Thanks, I understand the problem with using memory after it’s been freed and possibly access it changed by another part of the process. I guess I was confused by the double free explanation I read, which didn’t really say how it could be exploited, but I think you are right it still needs to be accessed later by the original program, which would not happen in Rust.

Thank you, that is very clear.

The way I understand it, it is a bug in C implementation of free() that causes it to do something weird when you call it twice on the same memory. Maybe In Rust you can never call free twice, so you would never come across this bug. But, also Rust probably doesn’t have the same bug.

My point is it seems it is a bug in the underlying implementation of free(), not to be caught by the compiler, and can’t Rust have such errors no matter its superior design?

My Android keyboard will automatically capitalize lots of common words like target, guess, even-- shit it’s not doing it now, it heard me thinking. I guess it’s brands, but some of them I don’t recognize. I’m going to be mad if it starts doing it again as soon as I leave this thread.

Captain drives from the stern, though. If you sit up in bed you’re facing the bow.

All they need is a third developer to divide up the project for them and design the interfaces

Wish I’d thought of the nuclear reactor kit. Prob not what she wanted, but I’m sure she’d have assembled it out of politeness and that would be cool.

Alsup said using scraping tools is not inherently fraudulent, and giving social media companies free rein to decide how public data are used “risks the possible creation of information monopolies that would disserve the public interest.” The judge also said X was not entitled to “de facto copyright ownership” in copyrighted content that X’s users made available to the public.

Based.

I think it’s not cool unless it’s funny. I’m trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don’t even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.

I think what we lack is the understanding that just knowing the right thing to do doesn’t make it happen, individually or collectively. Because if you look at any of the issues we face you can find people talking about it a hundred, three hundred, a thousand years ago, but it’s like the solutions only get traction under some special lightning in a bottle circumstances. So you have to keep up the consciousness and the effort and especially creative inspiring things, and know that the failures are to be expected and the successes are so rare they need to be celebrated even when they are imperfect.

I don’t understand how this is even in play. I thought the point of immunity was to prevent active members of government being arrested or prevented from doing their duty by minor or spurious charges while in office. The example was a congressman being pulled over on his way to an important vote. Trump doesn’t have any duties anymore. The nation doesn’t give a shit if he’s in court or prison or whatever, so why should he be immune to anything? Now seems the perfect time to find out exactly what he’s done.

In a practical sense, I can tell you that in mobile apps, some parts of gdpr are implemented based on phone language settings or in the case of websites, the domain suffix of the page (.fr or .de, etc). I’m guessing this is an interpretation of the section described here:

strong indications that a non-EU business is intentionally offering goods or services to data subjects in the EU and may therefore be subject to the GDPR:

• Use of the language of an EU Member State (if the language is different than the language of the business’ home state);4
• Use of the currency of an EU Member State (if the currency is different than the currency of the business’ home state);
• Use of a top-level domain name of an EU Member State;
• Mentions of customers based in an EU Member State; or
• Targeted advertising to consumers in an EU Member State.

Most people seem to be leaning toward just applying them to anyone as that’s the way things are headed and once you’ve figure out how to do it technically it’s easier to just do it all the same way. Also, the EU is doing it’s best to set precedent for a broad interpretation.

A lot depends on the angle you are heading relative to the wind and how strong and variable the wind is and how easily you want to be able to steer or hold your course.

The simplest case that I think you might be wrong is going down wind, especially in light air, you want the sail to catch the wind like a bag and direct it toward a central point to add all the vague forces into one direction instead of just twisting the sail one way or another. Like I didn’t think you actually want the wind hitting the outer edges of the sail straight on as this would just move the sail, not the boat.

Stiff, even hard not cloth sails are useful to go into the wind at a slight angle, where they are optimized in shape like an airplane wing, and they even talk of the force generated as lift.

maybe this link works?

Not defending Facebook. I guess I thought the post above was incredulous about there being so much cp there

Ya, I wasn’t really defending Facebook, just pointing out that the more-cp than pornhub stat is totally believable
