[Tire sales] are growing a little faster than the population, but still slower than the GDP [sad tire manufacturer noises]

Why should sales in a static (and resource intense and polluting) technology like tires grow faster than the population? Making money off the stock market seems kind of evil

EVs are still part of the solution, though. Not spilling gas all day long on every corner of the city would be a big deal.

I think it’s from these people that Thor Heyerdhal learned how to make a reed raft for his transpacific voyage. Just so many amazing ways of life have been bullied out of existence.

So is original phishing supposed to be over the phone? Like it’s the email game called emishing or something?

The thing that triggers the alarm is flat and often applied as sticker. Most likely the bold design is meant to alert the cashier to deactivate it. But if you’re suggesting that you can just keep walking after the alarm goes off, I think your chances are good, unless like all the Walmarts near me, there is a police officer in the exit lobby.

Privacy ;)

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.

I always liked this one, for the implication that something as cool as etching was once a common passtime. I guess the modern equivalent may be “check out my 3d prints”, but it feels nerdier.

At the least it should have a prominent “for entertainment purposes only”, except it fails that purpose, too

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.

I don’t know what this is about, but it reminds me of the constant ev-bashing in most major newspapers over the last two decades (since the beginning). I believe it’s oil money in the press, and definitely had effect on the overall conversation, especially discouraging small evs, but not clear effect on policy. It just keeps consumers from adopting.

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

I agree, but evidently you need to put local in bold because it’s never what people are thinking about in these nonlocal forums. But that’s where third parties will come from unless it’s some celebrity case, who will most likely coopt an existing party, resulting in the same two party system and a dramatically shifted politics that leaves half the country without ideological representation.

They should have one for heterosexuality, too, if it’s all about tastes.

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.

It helps make sure it’s absorbed so you don’t have to pee right away. If you’ve just eaten you don’t have to

Just as a quick hope-it-works because it’s easy, try drinking a glass of water with just a tiny amount of sugar and salt (like literally you should not be able to taste it, should just taste slightly fishy) before your nap.

I’m with the others on seeing a therapist, though, and first-round antidepressants have had huge positive effects in my personal experience, so it’s not necessarily going to be this long mind warping journey that I think people are scared to start sometimes.
