Automated deployments would have allowed you to review the deployment before it happened. A failed deployment could be configured to allow automatic rollbacks. Automated deployments should also handle experiment flags, which could have been toggled to reduce impact. There are a bunch of places where it could have intervened and mitigated/prevented this whole situation.

Well, if someone goes to prison for a relatively harmless drug, they're more likely to turn to hard drugs.

For hard drugs it can probably help centers do things like safe injection sites. Legalization also means you can regulate. That can help in a lot of ways: making drugs safer, mandating that done portion of proceeds gives towards prevention, etc. Addicts will be less afraid of seeking medical treatment if they know they won't be in legal trouble. (They wouldn't anyway, but I've heard a lot of people are paranoid about this.)

Anyway, I don't have any facts or figures. But it seems reasonable to me that legalization could, in some cases, help.

I think maybe you just worked at a terrible business. You experience contacting sounds more like my experience at my current job.

It's possible you just have poor taste. Personally, I think the reasons for the repair cost aren't relevant, same is pretty obvious. It's an unconventional car that had limited production. I'm sure they're adding in the cost of parts (they'll likely have to buy another insurance of this car to rip the parts out of, or they'll have to fabricate it themselves. Which could require hiring an engineer to make sure they don't get sued if the car bursts into flames) and labor that comes with learning how to repair a complete unknown for them, plus a good helping of uncertainty.

The most relevant part of this story is that there's a guy who bought into a new tech, and who is being unreasonable when it didn't work for as long as he had hoped. And that comes through fine in the article.

> While most Lyme disease patients who are diagnosed and treated early can fully recover, 10 to 20 percent suffer from persistent symptoms, some seriously disabling.

There's no evidence that chronic Lyme exists:

> There is no evidence to suggest that “chronic Lyme” exists, or that long-term antibiotics are required to treat it.

It's pseudoscientific and pretty dangerous nonsense at that.

One advantage here is for well-lit areas, like if you have a window seat. More light makes the kaleido display sharper, rather than making it frustrating. It can change how you lay out your office, and make things like adjusting blinds less necessary.

Just to add to other things people have mentioned, reports of ghosts could very easily be the result of false memories, as well. Finding a dead body in a creepy location, then sitting on it for two years is plenty of time and fuel for false memories. (Which are notoriously easy to form.)

Another thing I think is the most likely is [pareidolia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia). Our minds evolved to be sensitive to seeing faces/hearing voices, and so we tend to see these things where they don't actually exist. (Think faces in toast, or listening for satanic messages when playing music backwards.)

It seems like "artifact provenance" or something would have been a better term. Is this related to SLSA?

Users of kakoune, like myself. What I don't understand is why this is seem as such a big deal. You spend most of your workday in your editor of choice. It's not that big a deal to spend a day or two getting used to the (IMO better) keybindings. I still up using vim for some things, like vimdiff, and I don't find it difficult to move between the two. Then again, I also use Dvorak, so maybe I'm just used to changing between layouts.
