True, but an over emphasis on plane danger (in name of safety) could have stalled air travel industry before it took off.
Nuclear power is a good example of a technology with real safety issues that suffered from an abundance of caution, which in long run made world less safe!

Tough loss for Team USA vs the Dutch. But now we have to replace our highways with bike lanes. Sorry, those are just the rules of the World Cup.

Players need to face down FIFA over this. If a captain is booked for wearing a OneLove armband, both teams should leave the pitch until the card is recinded. Delays would cause chaos in global tv schedules and draw greater attention to LGBTQ+ rights and FIFA's malfeasance.
Soccer teams representing seven European nations at the World Cup have announced their captains will no longer wear the OneLove armband in Qatar after FIFA, which organizes the tournament, said players sporting the bands would be sanctioned.

For what it's worth, the recent rise was mainly due to some refinery issues. It's ludicrous and terrifying to think that these could determine the fate of U.S. democracy

This blog discusses what our summer interns did at OtterTune. We're lucky to get amazing interns 2yrs in a row.
But the best part is artwork from @liam_f_walsh. I asked "Draw DJ OT teaching a younger otter how to break into a car". Liam is a genius. I don't need #stablediffusion
ALT DJ OT teaches an intern the database business.
We had the best summer interns. As the season comes to a close we wanted to show you what they got up to in 12 weeks.

Not nearly enough and not nearly soon enough.
Apple understands the risks.
"JPMorgan said it expected Apple would be producing one in four of its devices, including iPads and watches, outside China by 2025."

Early childhood is a crucial period when brains are developing. That's why research since the 1960s has mostly shown significant benefits to programs for 0-5s, especially at-risk kids. The question isn't whether American can afford to offer pre-K but whether we can afford not to.

More of these anti-noise radars please.
I've never understood why we allow motorbikes to make incredible amounts of noise in areas where thousands of people live.
"A jacked-up motorcycle in the middle of the night can easily wake up 10,000 people."
More cities in #France install "Méduse" anti-noise radars, which have 4 microphones, camera to automatically ticket vehicles that exceed a certain number of decibels

I thought I'd try to reconstruct Bryan's discussion with a 13-year-old about the minimum wage based on the below tweet:

Nearly everything I've learned about things that may cause race conditions has come from tracking down flaky tests in CI. Those rare "random" failures are usually bugs (although more often in the test code than the production code)

right now there are many high-skill immigrants that are begging to come to the US and we don't let them
some day we'll beg them to come and they won't want to
this is an important-but-not-urgent policy disaster, and worse than it seems

It's mystifying why Democrats are not writing a series of abortion-rights bills and scheduling votes on them, starting with a bill that allows abortion for health-of-mother/rape/incest, then first trimester, then 15 weeks, then the WHPA.
