No software system can be free from bugs (or intruders), and users must be mindful of the risks. But the inherent lack of perfect automotive safety doesn’t mean we don’t try to make cars safer. Obviously, people should drive more carefully, but seatbelts, airbags and better car design reduce injury enormously, and that has been great for the industry as well as consumers. The software industry should be no different.

This is an attempt to explain Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) enough to give a reader with no previous exposure to FRP an intuition what FRP is about. After reading this you should hopefully understand enough of FRP to understand the reactive-banana examples.

But what’s so wrong with enjoying a few cups of coffee to perk up your mood and make it through the rest of the day in one piece? Caffeine can immediately improve the mood by stimulating dopamine, although it depletes serotonin over time, which will ultimately cause you to feel worse.

Preclinical evidence suggests that, during a migraine, activated primary sensory neurons (meningeal nociceptors) in the trigeminal ganglion release CGRP from their peripherally projecting nerve endings located within the meninges.[23] This CGRP then binds to and activates CGRP receptors located around meningeal vessels, causing vasodilation, mast cell degranulation, and plasma extravasation.[8][23][24][25] Human observations have further implicated the role of CGRP in the pathophysiology of migraine. Activation of primary sensory neurons in the trigeminal vascular system in humans can cause the release of CGRP. During some migraine attacks, increased concentrations of CGRP can be found in both saliva and plasma drawn from the external jugular vein.[8][23][24][25] Furthermore, intravenous administration of alpha-CGRP is able to induce headache in individuals susceptible to migraine.[26]

The strongest bias in American politics is not a liberal bias or a conservative bias; it is a confirmation bias, or the urge to believe only things that confirm what you already believe to be true.

How do I make sense of the fact that a man who attacked a federal judge for his “Mexican heritage” will be the man who will nominate the next Supreme Court justice and scores of federal judges?

Much has been written about how the IoT is wildly insecure. In fact, the software used to attack Krebs was simple and amateurish. What this attack demonstrates is that the economics of the IoT mean that it will remain insecure unless government steps in to fix the problem. This is a market failure that can't get fixed on its own.

we are mainly concerned with the Republican Party’s nominee, Donald J. Trump, who might be the most ostentatiously unqualified major-party candidate in the 227-year history of the American presidency.

“It is in a moral aversion to slavery as a great wrong that the chief strength of the Republican party lies.”

As I later learned, P.M.S. and menstruation can dramatically increase symptoms of sugar reactivity and blood sugar crashes, which is what was happening to me at the time.

In summary, until we have a marketplace where OTC brokers are not needed to fulfill large orders, Bitcoin will be volatile.

“Keep off my lawn” is no way to manage what we may soon come to see as an integral component of our delivery infrastructure.

continuous drone surveillance might make the Fourth Amendment almost irrelevant.

Barring that, it looks like Wright will only be known as the first "cryptographically proven con artist," as security researcher Dan Kaminsky put it.

But even before I witnessed the keys signed and then verified on a clean computer that could not have been tampered with, I was reasonably certain I was sitting next to the Father of Bitcoin.

Many health conditions that are affected by coffee are also aggravated by drinking decaf, due to the phytochemicals that remain after the decaffeination process,

Both the Petrobras scandal and the economic crash have their origins in misconceived laws and practices that are decades old.

Of Congress’s 594 members, 352 face accusations of criminal wrongdoing.

Now she has cast away that raiment of credibility (see article). On March 16th Ms Rousseff made the extraordinary decision to appoint her predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to be her chief of staff.

And yet, until now, Brazil’s president could fairly claim that the legitimacy conferred by her re-election in 2014 was intact, and that none of the allegations made against her justified her impeachment.

We continue to believe that, in the absence of proof of criminality, Ms Rousseff’s impeachment is unwarranted. The proceeding against her in Congress is based on unproven allegations that she used accounting trickery to hide the true size of the budget deficit in 2015. This looks like a pretext for ousting an unpopular president.

This newspaper has long argued that either the judicial system or voters—not self-serving politicians trying to impeach her—should decide the president’s fate. But Ms Rousseff’s hiring of Lula looks like a crass attempt to thwart the course of justice. Even if that was not her intention, it would be its effect. This was the moment when the president chose the narrow interests of her political tribe over the rule of law. She has thus rendered herself unfit to remain president.

Adeney has the behavioral-economics view that we should set our policies to encourage sensible behavior

“financial freedom through badassity.”

“If you can’t afford to lose it, you can’t afford to buy it yet—otherwise the object owns you rather than vice versa.”

What value do I place on a decade of the fearless freedom of leaving shit happily unlocked and not worrying about it? How about the value of my time saved in not spending my life fumbling with an enormous keychain? 90 seconds a day for ten years is 91 hours, or at least $4500 of my time at $50 an hour. I was still coming out way ahead.

Você precisa escolher ver as coisas de um jeito novo. Você precisa definir novos padrões e expectativas para você e para os outros. Você precisa exigir que seu tempo seja respeitado. Você deve esperar das pessoas que te cercam que elas sejam responsabilizadas pelas suas ações. Você precisa priorizar uma sociedade forte e segura acima de todo e qualquer interesse pessoal ou da sua família e amigos. Você precisa deixar que cada um lide com os seus próprios problemas, assim como você não deve esperar que ninguém seja obrigado a lidar com os seus.

E a única forma de acabar com tudo isso é se cada brasileiro decidir matar isso dentro de si mesmo.

A democracia não resolveu o problema.

E assim, você cria uma sociedade que acredita que o único jeito de se dar bem é traindo, mentindo, sendo corrupto, ou nos piores casos, tirando a vida do outro.

O problema é que muitos focam grande parte da sua energia em vaidade em vez de produtividade.

No fim das contas, esse é o motivo pelo qual um brasileiro que nasceu pobre e sem oportunidades está disposto a matar por causa de uma motocicleta ou sequestrar alguém por algumas centenas de Reais. Eles também querem parecer bem sucedidos, mesmo que não contribuam com a sociedade para merecer isso.

É claro que aqui não é o único lugar no mundo onde isso acontece, mas é muito mais comum do que em qualquer outro país onde eu já estive.

Eu acredito que a maioria dos brasileiros escolheria a alternativa A. Eu também acredito que a maioria dos gringos escolheria a alternativa B.

O problema é a cultura.

Eu fiquei surpreso quando descobri que dizer que alguém é vaidoso por aqui não é considerado um insulto como é nos Estados Unidos. Esta é uma outra característica particular da sua cultura.

O “jeitinho brasileiro” precisa morrer.

É sempre mais fácil não confrontar e ser boa praça. Só que onde não existe confronto, não existe progresso.

Todo mundo quer ser legal com todo mundo e acaba ou ferrando o outro pelas costas, ou indiretamente só para não gerar confronto.

Também é por isso que brasileiros pagam tudo parcelado. Porque eles querem sentir e mostrar que eles podem ter aquela super TV mesmo quando, na realidade, eles não tenham dinheiro para pagar.
