I used to think my daughter may never drive, because autonomous vehicles were rumored to always be just around the corner.
Now I think she may never ride in an autonomous vehicle. Do autonomous vehicles drive in the rain? We live in a northern state where snow remains on the ground for months at a time in ever shifting depths and banks along roads. Lidar is unable to see through the snow. Road surfaces are sometimes wet, sometimes snow covered, sometimes ice. Visibility can drop to zero.
I wonder if tech companies will spend the time and expense to solve these difficult problems for a rather small percentage of the population.
Estimated Fluoride Intake and IQ
A 1-mg increase in fluoride intake was associated with a 3.66 (95% CI, −7.16 to −0.15; P = .04) lower FSIQ score among boys and girls
Double edged sword. Too short an article, the progress bar is meaningless. Too long, and there's no way I'm reading until the end. Useful if all the articles are about this length, but even then fades away with frequent readers.
Moved from Mandrill to Sendgrid for SMTP... had delivery issues, likely my fault. Moved to Sparkpost, NO problems. Much easier interface and onboarding for SMTP.
Guessing the photos are composites. The background is HDR, but HDR looks horrible on people, so they were shot without HDR and layered in Photoshop. In the second shot you can clearly see how the shadows are at different angles.
When I was 8 or 9 years old I had dinner with a contemporary of Andre the Giant, Baron von Raschke. He was friends with my best friends dad. He gave me "the claw" (brainclaw). Life as a young boy doesn't get much better (except for blueberry pancakes).
North Dakotan checking in. I've seen this tower many times, from the road and up close, it's pretty uninspiring. Hard to get a sense of scale when it's so thin and transparent. Also, you can't see the view from the top (legally). What fun would the Space Needle, Empire State or Burj Khalifa be if you couldn't see what the view is like from the top?

I use Google's Pagespeed Service, which is free and in beta. They say they may charge some day. But the support... I have "proxy errors" reported, which would appear to be an error on their end. Contacted support via email and was told to expect a response within 3 business days. So that was Thursday morning, it'll be at least 96 hours before I get a reply. Maybe up to 120 hours. Glad I moved the site instead of waiting.
