From a consumer perspective, what's wrong with c9.io being purchased by Amazon? Shouldn't that mean more stability and an acceptance by enterprise of cloud coding?

A good number of people fall asleep while driving anyways. This guy was lucky that his car didn't crash when it happened...

The title seems misleading. People with marijuana in their bloodstream != stoned drivers. Marijuana use is detectable for a long time past the point of impairment and the data only reflects that they HAVE used marijuana vs being stoned at the point of driving.

Maybe instead of breathalysers and drug detection kits we should have standardised attention/reaction tests to determine if someone is safe to drive (you could probably even run them on a tablet). This would also weed out (pun intended) tired drivers.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but I tend to Google syntax rather than solutions...

I often know "what" I want to do, I just can't remember the "how".

I think the main issue is that Sydney is so spread out and there is very little late night public transportation.

That means a night out for most people ends with a very expensive taxi bill (Uber has helped somewhat though).

If one can only go out drinking very occasionally, the tendency is to overdo it on those times you do.

I think they are banking on the fact that fewer people are inclined to return their phone and order a new one to save $50 than would claim a $50 refund outright.

That's exactly what I like about ES6 (the fact that it has come out of a committee and is now a standard).

I am wondering then why people think Java is only good for old school enterprise apps (according to the comments).

Aren't Android apps written in Java?
