Could be a combination of lifestyle factors and chromosomes.

Really hoping to read about how Warren backs Sanders today.

If shitting the bed means an insane golden parachute...

I understood some of those words.

That would probably be a good thing. However, as much as pundits talk about the damage of primary in-fighting, November is a long way off and we have short memories.

I hope you are right, I just feel that every shot the candidates take at the eventual leader will be parroted by Trump 10 fold.

a nice long PSA to always routinely shop for new insurance every year or two in order to make sure your rates are competitive.

As a listener I do not see a distinction between ambient electronic music and chillhop. People have been using music as a tool to help focus for a long time, I don't really see anything to get upset about.

Sorry, this comment is in regards to the new yorker article that was linked in the article you posted :https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/against-chill-apathetic-music-to-make-spreadsheets-to

Definitely not but I find myself automatically hating on something when I hear terms like "Plantfluencers" and instagram trends.

Kind of reminds me of koi fish collecting.

If instagrammers want to spend hundreds of dollars on plans, who the hell am I to judge. Not any different from collecting magic the gathering cards or a million other things that people collect.

I have never felt the need to vet which make of airplane I am flying on until recently...

While I agree that full self driving in 100% of conditions is still a ways off, it is short sighted to say it's not going to happen.

Right now tesla autopilot is like a beefed up adaptive cruise control. There are plenty of warnings that state to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. In no way are tesla's current iteration of autopilot "self driving". They are making great steps towards that but still not there yet.

You are judging this accident from such a human perspective rather than seeing it from an engineering problem. Are humans currently better at seeing perpendicular semi trucks crossing in front of them in certain circumstances? Apparently yes. Are humans better at keeping their attention on the road 100% of the time than computers? The statistics say no.

I can think of loads of examples of things that are going to be difficult to program for, things like emergency vehicles, severe weather, erratic drivers, etc. but I have confidence eventually they will figure it out. In the meantime I will enjoy the progress autopilot is making with every over-the-air update.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, Tesla reported one accident for every 2.91 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged. The first Tesla safety report of 2019 shows that rate increasing slightly, to one accident every 2.87 million miles.

However, both of those figures are better than the statistics for Teslas without Autopilot engaged: one accident for every 1.76 million miles driven in Q4 2018 and one every 1.58 million miles driven in Q1 2019.

Teslas with or without Autopilot engaged also appear substantially safer than the average car, based on the new Tesla data. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s most recent data, there’s an auto crash every 436,000 miles driven in the United States.

Decent article. The authors use of the term luck is synonymous with what many liberals call privileged, be it racial, economic, cultural, or health related. I think luck is a less divisive word.

Self-driving cars are imitating human driving, and the imitation is hitting diminishing returns because computers are ill-adapted for the domain. We'd probably get more ROI changing the roads (the domain) at this point.

Completely agree that there are diminishing returns with regards to effort and that last few percent of full self driving. But changing our roads would be trillions of dollars and would still require new car tech. Full self driving will happen by the end of this decade.

Ugh, I was gifted one by a friend and have it installed. I swing between "whatever, it was free" to "fuck that company, I should get rid of the device".

I wonder how different the ios app is, if it all.

Teachers in about 15 states, including Ca, do not pay social security. I also would not generalize teacher protests into being about benefits and layoffs, I would say the number one issue is teacher pay, with many other issues coming second.
