That's just it - the limits are too low.

What if we just kept the peds out of the road? Transportation is all about efficiency. If I wanted to get somewhere slower, I'd walk.

The 20mph limit is too low. Transportation is for efficiency.

I despise these weird nationalists, but this is the final straw; I've deleted FB over this. :)

If I can perceive photons bouncing off of you in public with my eyes, why can't I capture an approximate record of the arrangement of those photons in a digital format? In the former, I'm storing it in analog form in my mind. In

That's no less ridiculous. If it's a public object, I should always be able to take a picture of it and profit off of it. Doesn't matter if I'm a little guy or Getty Images.

To aggressively build housing. But this requires local politics to cordially ignore the calls to keep the status-quo. In many places, it isn't possible. :/

Rent control is bad economics. The simple progression: 1. Local political culture limits natural housing supply growth. 2. Increasing percentages of people can't afford rent due to housing supply not meeting demand. 3. Rent control is

Unfortunately, anyone who points this out is automatically stamped as an "anti-semite". It is a brilliantly effective way to black-hole common discourse in the social media era.

I always wonder about the latency with satellite internet. A friend tried HughesNet one time. I tried to tell him, "I hope you don't care about online gaming..." Sure enough, the link had good bandwidth, but horrid laten

My experience in college was that these simply apply a "chilling effect" to any and all discourse. I tended to stay more silent, lest I find retribution for voicing my opinions. I think that is pretty sad. But I guess for its p

This is a crucial point. Vendors these days (at least the good ones) properly package their goods with vapor barrier vacuum-sealed bags. Even better, some use Mylar bags which provide a nice metallic aluminum barrier. You could hold a Myl

I guess for me that is not clear-cut. Rapes still occur pretty often, and many/most sadly aren't reported. (Legalizing prostitution could reduce them?) For every traffic violation that is caught, a high multiple more fly by. (Sp

I will not work on this, because I see it as enabling the violation of our constitution. You cannot solve a demand-side problem by attempting to reduce the supply. Market economies simply raise the price, attracting increasingly-devious sup

Why do these people think censorship works? The more you don't want me to see it, the harder I will try to see it. I think this is pretty universal human nature. Instead let's use this as a learning opportunity.

Definitely agree. It's easy for people to mix them up but we need to be clear. I absolutely loooove ZoL and run it on all cluster nodes. Proxmox works beautifully with it. I really hope ZFS for Linux and the kernel can get along, bec

I find that to be a really intriguing idea. Offering a gradient instead of platform ultimatums. Could this scale, is the question?

Oh yeah, I firmly believe in "your body, take what you want". Just that I want to take what I want, not what I get hooked on from pharmaceutical solutions.

For those people, these drugs are fantastic! I should have conditioned my comment to exclude those people. EDIT: I should add, if I got diabetes and had to take insulin, I would be pissed to the point that I'd make it my sole goal i

I think the key may be to very, very slowly wean yourself off. You might have to get pretty radical, like 1mg reduction per week. (That's ~2 year taper - obviously an excessive example but these drugs are weird.)

Flip that around: Why would you want to be continually reliant on a designer drug for the rest of your life just to feel normal? To me, that defines a dystopian nightmare. I'd sooner go without than be shackled to the pharmaceutical i

I thought they were ZigBee, and integration with Z-Wave controllers was through Philips' web services? https://www.quora.com/Is-Phillips-Hue-hub-compatible-with-Z-... But I would say in general, Z-Wave doesn't hav

Wow seems a little unfair of her to dump you due to the results of purely her own demands.

Certainly a good point. I'd add that when it comes to suffering, I certainly feel discontent with that happening: In the article, the example of a stabbing video is given. I would strongly feel the need for retribution or justice for

I would never be able to to do that job. Not because of the exposure to "bad things" like the article pushes, but because I've always felt totally fine (even bored) looking at that stuff, and I don't agree with censoring

The reason we "ended up with this turning right at a red light rule" is simply that it is more efficient , and transportation is by definition architected for efficiency . It's the same reason we have more flashing yellow

This is giving me some good ideas for my homelab... Thank you!

Why would anyone do this? You should either save up and buy PV infrastructure outright, or not have it at all. Being tied to some sketchy company via contract sounds horrid. I would automatically exclude any homes with this setup from my

Ahhh very interesting! It's so funny to think I could hit military comms just by tuning up a bit on my modded rig... Not that I will, because that's dumb. Makes sense given the age of the stuff!

I now see what you're saying. I guess it's just funny that I could defeat military comms by simply leaving my mic open and bumping the dial to the right frequency... It sounds like back in the day what I described above wasn&#x27
