I think a better metric is would I wish my grandma be treated this way? A society should be judged by how it treats those that are the weakest.

Before you debate torture, consider what has been done in your name already. Torture is wrong. We should not do it. If you wouldn't want it done to an innocent person, because eventually our faulty systems will scoop up an innocent.

Just went through traffic light outage due to Irma. Traffic was not improved.

I am a customer. They are my favorite to use, but I don't use them for everything because they don't get me 100% end to end with Amazon. Other companies do. I just talked with someone about this, and I hope that they get into it, even if it's just white labelled through their interface.

Porter's Five Forces. Never let a single organization be a supplier for 100% of critical infrastructure. As I write this, I'm reminded it's been a while since I've looked through everything to make sure I'm not.

Sure, experience is a factor (and GMA helps with this), but training when you're tired, but need to, when you don't want to, or when you're sore from the speedwork or doing a b2b run takes self control. Not putting the wrong things in your mouth, takes self control. In a race, it takes self control to not go out too fast, to eat when nothing looks appetizing, and to keep moving when aid stations look like bombs went off from all the people laying down.

Badwater is (more) brutal now that it has a night start, and experience only counts for so much...

Because my conversion rates go up when we use it, and down when we don't. Sure, you can add social proof, but like any platform you take your chances and plan for when they lose their mind.
