It's always been present. I can't construct proof or a solid timeline. However I recall back when comment scores were public and upvotes had much more momentum (the more upvotes the comment had, the more it would get), there was a much-lamented problem of two-bit posts of the sniping variety, ostensibly as a low investment spray-and-pray strategy to try to catch a runaway upvote train.

I want to say it actually improved after comment scores became private, though it could have easily regressed since then.
Walmart: Wage hikes are killing our profits
According to Mayo Clinic, walking at 3mph burns between 314-469 kcals/hr [1], depending on weight. That's 3140-5628 kcals for 10-12 hours of walking, depending on weight.

Now consider the amount of calories available [2].
I could have the IHOP meal for breakfast, walk for 12 hours (side note: who the heck has time to walk for 12 hours?), not eating anything all day, then eat the Dickie's meal for dinner, and still be well over the kcals burned.

jp555 is right, you can't out-exercise a bad diet - what you eat matters.

Agreed. Strangely, this concept seems to replicate with bikes most mistakes done previously with cars (and 60's concepts around planes). The designer is actually sort of aware of this, not understanding the consequences:

> "Residential bike parking should have the same space-syntax relationship to the front door and kitchen as car parking does in a contemporary house in the suburbs," Fleming says.

Designing cities around people, not a way to transport them, is missing from this approach.

It's actually a much harder challenge than figuring out funny (and unsustainable) ways to bring "speed" to personal transportation within cities. Creatively, this concept is entirely underwhelming.
Something can be brilliant without being innovative. Most people have no problems operating a "slide your finger on the screen to do more" widget, even without being trained by Apple's original visuals.

Think about it. A touch screen can only detect a limited number of basic interactions. All interactions with the software must occur through those basic primitives. Touching the screen and moving your finger are really the only two things the interface can recognize.
There seems to be a great amount of enthusiasm in the zeitgeist about the future, positive and negative predictions. A lot of it comes with some far out economics baked in nonchalantly. Basic incomes, abundance economies & zero marginal cost everything.

I like it and I do quite a bit of indulging in this sort of thing myself. But…

I don't think I'm seeing the trends in gadgetry, software, and manufactured goods at work everywhere. The production cost (and often the price) of manufactured goods (used to be "mass produced) has come down tremendously compared with average income. The trend is hundreds of years old. Underpants, sugar bowls, cereal commodities and almost everything else you can fit under a very wide umbrella of "manufactured goods" is heading towards free, or at least extremely cheap. We've seen it happen with a lot of things. Clothes pins & pencils used to be worth something, but I can't remember cost ever being a factor. They're basically free. Software also. I agree that a lot of things are headed towards "abundance." The things that aren't are often things that keep getting better, things where we have an appetite for (qualitative) more, iphones & whatnot.

The bicycles come into it at the points where there isn't a fruitful trend towards more, better everything. Housing & transport are still most people's 2 biggest expenses. These have improved in quality over time and we consume more (bigger house, long commute, overseas holiday…) but there isn't an obvious "trend towards abundance."

The fact that a radical idea (radical because of the radical trade off of eliminating cars) like this is interesting is kind of proof that this thing is not moving and we're frustrated. We still commute a lot, and we don't enjoy it. It pollutes. It's noisy. Expensive. Slow. It's not much different than 1980 or even 1965.

I think housing and transport are the stick in the abundance ideas. In 25 years roads might be full of quite, clean, electric, driverless, parkingless cars but even that amazing achievement will still not match the technology trends that have brought other things up the quality and abundance curve.
I would love it if news orgs agreed to at least contribute to Pulitzer.org and put their winning entries online, even as PDF format...Just reading the brief summaries of the winners, it seems like the proper nouns might differ, but the best journalism back then is still as relevant today. There a few entries from 1986 that I've been trying to find for research purposes but are nowhere to be found...it's hard not just to find the full text content, but sometimes the actual headlines and bylines for the team projects:

This post is not that! I was pleasantly surprised to find a post about someone who is self-aware enough to realize that sexism exists, saying sexist things is wrong, and that these things are so deeply ingrained in our society that not everything we say or think is entirely unique: some of it is learned and habitual.

Good first step, author! Now continue along and do something about it! We need to redefine normal.
Shudder the thought of committing a thoughtcrime. Michael Kaiser-Nyman should set to exercise himself in crimestop so he doesn't think such dangerous thoughts anymore.
> In its greed Exxon helped — more than any other institution — to kill our planet.

This is an excellent article right up to the last sentence, which is the sort of unfortunate hyperbole that often trips up McKibben in particular and many climate activists in general. It's frustrating, in a discussion about how Exxon misled the public, to see hyperbole in the other direction.

Climate change is not killing the planet. It is altering the environment in a way that will interfere with human society, and will shift the balance for some species.

Just to be clear: the planet is indeed being killed, in that a mass extinction is taking place right now. But climate change is only a small factor in that. Most species decimations have come from 3 other human sources:

1) Habitat destruction: converting wild areas (characterized by high biodiversity) into farmland, towns, or cities (characterized by very low biodiversity). This is the biggest impact on plant biodiversity.

2) Hunting and fish for food: taking breeding-age adults out of animal populations faster than they can be replaced. This is the biggest impact on ocean macrofauna, for instance.

3) Toxic pollution: point-source and non-point-source pollutants that depress biodiversity by either directly harming plants and animals, or by altering the local environment to make it less habitable (for example, when fertilizer runoff feeds algal blooms that reduce free oxygen in the water).

> “The interesting thing is that, at that time [in the 1990s], it was easier to archive the web because everything was flat web pages,” said Alexander Rose, the executive director of the Long Now Foundation, an organization dedicated to establishing a framework for long-term thinking on a scale of 10,000 years. “So if you did save something, your chances of being able to see it and use it would be vastly better than if a company folded today, with deep back-ends of content-management systems like Drupal and Ruby and Django and all these things. The pages are not actual pages.”

This right here is something I wish all the folks building web-apps-to-display-pages would think about. It's straightforward to archive HTTP resources; it's not at all easy (nor, really, practical) to archive every API response used in building these dynamic sites. Web apps are fine, for what they are, but please, please, for posterity's sake: don't use dynamic content if you can use static content instead.

This discussion and the term "rewilding" reminds me of Kim Stanley Robinson's excellent Nebula Award winning novel "2312" - and the "reanimation" project which is part of the complex web of plot lines.

I want a world where our physical bodies don't matter very much, or matter much less than they do today. I especially want a world where we don't care about ethnicity or gender.

But if, in 2015 October, I found myself worried about whether a woman would excel at programming, I would forgive myself somewhat, because in 20 years of obsessive playing with computers, I have never met a woman who I thought was as good as I am at computer bullshit. I have asked other people who I consider very good at computer bullshit whether they had met any really skilled women, and they also said no.

I believe such women exist. I believe there are women who are much better at computer bullshit than I am. I just think they're very rare.

If we have some notion whose roots seem to go very deep, is it possible that our brains are just telling us it's a good bet?

This is not to try to argue that we don't still have to strive to consider every case individually and to treat people fairly.

Users still have trouble understanding what HTTPS entails. I work with security and most lay-people think it ensures the site is somehow trustworthy.

"Why are you typing your password on faceb00k.com?"

"It has a green padlock, it's safe."

I don't have any suggestions for this problem, but I think it should be acknowledged at least.
There are two more problems:

1) Most importantly, responsibility and justice must be on an individual level: An individual has absolutely no responsibility for the actions of others who happen share some characteristics with them. If I'm short, I'm not responsible for what other short people do and shouldn't suffer any consequences from it.

2) Profiling leads to many false-positive errors. Consider that even the disparity is so large that 1% of group A and only 0.1% of group B is criminal:

* If your customers are 99% group B, you will see ~10 times as many group B criminals as group A.

* If you suspect everyone in group A, you'll be wrong and harassing innocent people 99% of the time.

The real problem, returning to my first point, is objectifying people: Seeing them as merely threats to your store - like a 2-dimensional character in an action movie - instead of real people with their own lives, feelings and interests. It's much easier to do with people you are unfamiliar with, such as other cultures, races, economic classes, etc.

You need to make sure every image, CSS, JavaScript and frame link on every HTTPS page is served over HTTPS. This might not be straightforward depending on how your site works. For example, if you're using a CMS, such links might be generated by CMS code and CMS plugins that you'll have to modify, and if post editors can embed HTML content in posts all posts will have to be checked. Also, HTTPS may not be supported by third parties you rely on.

I flash edited to clarify...but you are wrong about it not scaling. Gucci, a brand out of range for 99.99% of the world population, has a brand value estimated at $12B. Their total market value is well beyond that. Professional men, by contrast, are an incredibly large market segment, and with margins that aren't much different from the high overhead high end retailers.
Until you have the technology to actually "see" something or measure it accurately, it is almost impossible to deduce reality from correlations.

"The most common methods are the blue link color, underlining, or a 'more/click me' button. I don't want to do any of those - wanting someone to click content is more desirable than telling them to."

A user isn't going to click anything unless they know they can click it. You have to tell them they can click it before they can want to click on it. And the easiest way to do that is with the blue color or the underline.

obviously, I'm not alone on this one.
Leaking is the wrong word. A leak implies that the memory was retained, RAM usage will go up forever and the process will eventually crash as a result. This is memory that sidekiq needs to do it's job, allocating strings, hashes, arrays etc. that will all be cleaned up eventually. Larger, more complex objects take up more memory. I.e. strings take up less memory than a hash. What he has done is eliminate the need to allocate so many large objects. This means less GC is needed, and overall performance is increased.

See http://www.schneems.com/2015/05/11/how-ruby-uses-memory.html for more info.
So make the entire paragraph clickable, but only underline/color the title header.

You do have some interesting questions here about hypotheticals if one was to try to build something like this.

Yes, these hallways you would probably not want to carpet if you expect people to ride in them with dirty bikes. They'd probably be something easy to clean like concrete or tile or plastic.

I think that children playing would probably get priority over bicyclists much as such things happen in neighborhood cul-de-sacs.

Also, if there is some explicit ownership of the "bike parking spaces" in front of/near a unit then I absolutely would expect people to use them as they see fit, including things like planters, assuming such things don't impede the other uses of the hall (biking, walking). Most buildings consider hallways common space that units have no ownership of. There's nothing wrong with maybe giving some ownership to part of a hall. It could add to the sense of community of the building. (In my own condo building our car parking spaces are owned by unit owners, so our spaces will sometimes get used as temporary workspaces or child toy storage zones when our cars are out parked on the street, so long as we don't block other spaces and stick to our area. If I decided to set planters on my space while my car was in the shop, I certainly could.)
That isn't true. My office slack has a few thousand users and it works just fine. I'm not saying it can scale to infinity, but it does handle a few thousand users without any issues.
What you're asking for is a PaaS. For those wanting Docker support, Cloud Foundry and OpenShift Origin are available. For those who also want Buildpacks, Cloud Foundry supports that out of the box.

Disclaimer (deep breath): I previously worked on the CF Buildpacks team, and I work for Pivotal Labs, a division of Pivotal, the company which donates the majority of engineering effort to Cloud Foundry.
You don't talk about pour business model. How much do you charge ? And by the way what is universal and dynamic pricing? I have an online magazine and I want to sell subscriptions as well as access to single articles. Than
Headings don't actually imply really large text. They imply differentiation for different levels of text introducing the following section, which can be useful in similar ways as bold and italic. Most stylesheets for markdown do seem to implement the top couple headings with uncomfortably large text, though, which is a bummer. It would be great to see configurable styles for markdown in tools like this.

I can't find any evidence of TimBL ever having any particularly grand intentions regarding the WWW, especially not anything in the like of content replication. In fact, if you read TimBL and Robert Caillau's 1990 proposal for the "WorldWideWeb" [1], you will find it to be a textbook example of worse-is-better with a limited scope, mostly a way of unifying CERN's documents from a physical hierarchy into a minimum viable networked web of nodes. The project objectives were indeed rather humble, and it overall appeared to be a way of bringing the general gist of TimBL's earlier hypertext research with ENQUIRE over the by-then established TCP/IP and DNS in the absolute quickest way possible.

Compare and contrast with Ted Nelson and Xanadu.
