If you haven't learned how to touch type during your day-to-day interactions with a computer as a programmer, maybe you are in the wrong line of work? How can you not be frustrated and distracted by hunting and pecking? Even if you're fast, just the distraction of looking at the keyboard instead of the words magically appearing on the screen as you think them.

1200 is pretty low by chess standards, is this due to the number of players? Where would a person rank?

Some airline reps were claiming that different destination airports have different fees and skiplagging can allow passengers to unfairly circumvent those fees, but interestingly https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsimpleflying.com%2Fthe-c... doesn't mention those fees anywhere in their analysis. Do they not exist or just aren't really a factor compared to everything else?

They address that in the article, the "raw" data being requested is anonymized to remove pii.

No, in America Tesla drives you

Actually, I think its a little more complicated than that - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fio9.gizmodo.com%2Fhow-an.... I am not sure how this interacts with cloning and the jury is still out on what can be passed down in this way, but nurture does influence the genome which I assume would be passed down through cloning.

I couldn't find anywhere in the citation that says or shows "Most violent crimes are committed under the influence..." It says that addicts are more likely to commit crimes than the general population, but you need to look at the base rate and most people are not addicts nor under the influence. The exception seems to be rape/assault on college campus: for sexual assault in which "90% of all cases" the relevant parties are intoxicated at the time; and for assault in general in where "95% of the time" one or the other party is intoxicated.

What's the difference (in terms of weapon development) between engineering a virus that kills people vs. engineering an super anti-viral? It seems like there are enough bugs in the world that a country that could develop a cheap (relatively speaking) and effective anti-viral to even something as innocuous as the flu/cold could gain a huge economic advantage over everyone else in the world. There are reasonable theories that many of the issues associated with economic development in Africa come down to the plethora of tropical diseases on the continent. I guess you could even say that anti-malarials and mosquito control already fall into this category. It doesn't sound nearly as scary, but has almost the same net effect.

And they think that being upset about the 100,000$ that they lost will allow them to remain neutral in covering bitcoin?

I think the question is how does the pedestrian know that the car made "eye" contact with them? Is there a reason not to have a little light or something that can point at pedestrians to let them know that the car "sees" them?

Another data point - Deaths on Texas Roads are 1 in 70 million. while not all highway driving, I would assume that the distribution is pretty skewed in favor of it. But maybe more pertinent More than half of the deaths occur at speeds > 55mph. (assuming this is highway) -- http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topic... This seems to suggest that your likelihood of dying is the same on or off the highway, though I imagine you are probably more likely to get into an accident off the highway, just not likely to die from it. Unfortunately, you would need to get a number on the the miles driven on and off highways, I couldn't find it quickly.

On the surface your statement sounds really good, I certainly believe that I would get sick of violence very quickly after seeing it first hand. However, why is it that war has continued for so long, and in fact I would say that the world is more anti-war than at any time in the past, even though are weapons are now much more effective at removing us from the scene? Maybe being present at particularly heinous acts actually numbs us to the reality of the event, and it is only when we can witness the killing from a distance that we can begin to dream of an alternative.

Wish they would release a new version, but this one is free and works decently http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/opengazer/

For those of us in the US breakers in your home are generally 15 amps, which at 110 volts is about 1650 watts... meaning about 20 macbooks before you'll blow a fuse.

There is a difference between bad science and science fiction.
