I think it depends on the situation how enforceable it could be. I immediately thought about the potential uses at professional sporting events that will now be impossible.

You know driving yourself is much more dangerous than letting an autonomous vehicle drive for you. And "what will people do?" is not really a problem.

You are confused. Stevie Wonder is famous for his music. The fact that he has a disability is ancillary. It's like Stephen Hawking, famous for his physics, not his disability. This is true because not all people who are blind or have ALS are also famous.

no, no. 2048 is completely different. You have to match factors of 2 together, instead of factors of 3.

I know nothing about backing up large server farms and redundancy at that level, but I'd imagine that restoring is much quicker than 1 TB/hour.

So, Goodell made $10m more than Matt Ryan.

People go nuts for it here. I have two bottles in my fridge. I'm just waiting to have someone over who likes 'em.

I really like On the Media, especially after listening to Bob Garfield cuss like a sailor on Lexicon Valley, but I find it a bit ironic that they'd handle a situation like this so bone-headedly. On the Media covers stories just like this, every week. Hopefully they'll cover the original story, along with new takes…

Oh, I thought that this particular discussion and comment thread came from an article and video clip about Charles Barkley talking shit about analytics. I'm not sure if you've seen the video, but its out there somewhere. Barkley says "Just cuz you got good stats doesn't mean you're a good team defensively. They're not…

At my current job, the application asked for "Requested Salary", and I put in a number that was waaaay too low (this job is in Silicon Valley and I moved from Arizona). They gave it to me, minus $1000/year, and gave me a $1000 signing bonus. So I ended up getting exactly what I requested, but I think its quite a bit…

I didn't understand this joke until you said this, so...thanks.

Not that this wouldn't have been a giant clusterfuck for Facebook, but couldn't they somehow restore it all, anyway? I mean, redundancy and backups, right?

I'm not a fan of IPAs, but Russian River's Pliney the Elder has a huge following in Northern California, is fairly difficult to find, and makes the brewery one of the most touristy destinations in the city of Santa Rosa.

What the fuck am I supposed to drink with my warm, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, huh?!?!

Step Zero: TONE-DOWN THE HDR EFFECTS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Nice - using analytics to defend Barkley's stance that analytics don't matter.

Nice - using analytics to defend Barkley's stance that analytics don't matter. I didn't see that one coming.

I wouldn't necessarily call those numbers a "disaster" for Tesla. If you break down the cash flow numbers, most of that "loss" comes from investment. Their growing, so they're buying equipment and investing in the company.

LOL @ "Chiropractors can be a wonderful resource for families, for preventive care and for treating illness, as well as sharing the wealth of knowledge they have about holistic health, and their offices are usually free from pressure to vaccinate."

It seems like the most effective way of keeping people off of drugs is to put them on welfare.
