Gosh, does it ever look like a Dalek!

Many Airbnbs I've stayed in will just have a key under a house plant or doormat. The key can be a little tricky to find that way but for a lower cost listing it's totally fine (by me).

I suspect that's the sort of practice they're trying to parse out for this Plus offering.

While I agree with you on many of these, [most] politics is about incremental change, and it is messy. The perfect cannot be the enemy of the good here. This website and project is a terrific idea.

FYI: I live in D.C., my list reflects that.

Shared as an example of the right way to talk about a security threat.

Here's a slide deck with data about the results of the trial (of Glucose Insulin Potassium) mentioned in the article.

From the conclusions slide:

"Composite endpoint of cardiac arrest or acute mortality was significantly reduced, and FFA levels were lower, consistent with the proposed FFA link to arrhythmias"

..."an artificial neural network for machine vision (whatever that is)"...

It's hard to take seriously an article that so unabashedly flaunts its own ignorance. Especially when the answer to this rhetorical question could be found with a five second Google search.

There are legitimate arguments to be had about Google's current strategy. But this piece is not part of them! He doesn't even really seem to assess any of the allegedly ill advised Google projects he lists...instead he makes fun of the names.

It's important to know one's rights, but I think that's by no means the best we can do. For starters, we can support organizations like the Equal Justice Initiative (http://www.eji.org) or the author of TFA's org, Equal Justice Under Law (http://equaljusticeunderlaw.org) that are working to both defend indigent defendants and fundamentally reform the criminal justice system.

Beyond that, I think that there is a lot of opportunity to advocate around these issues on the state and local level right now. Whatever you think of bodycams for police, you have to admit that in light of recent events they're going to become dramaticaly more common. That's just one example of how a crisis can provide a great opportunity for advocacy, and ultimately change. That's not to say that we will be able to make fundamental change quickly on this very difficult issue. But it is to say that there are paths forward, and I would invite people who care to dive in.
