Yes, but not because radiation. There's a difference between scanning someone and force-feeding them.

X-rays are emitted by many processes, including playing with an office tape. If, say, relays in traffic lights emitted equivalent amounts of X-rays in the course of their normal operation (don't they? did anyone check?), nobody would be talking about it. The reason we're talking about vans is because police is taking nudes without consent; radiation is only used as an additional, powerful argument, because it sounds scary.

> I'm all for keeping this about privacy, but don't dismiss the health stuff. Dentists still give you a lead bib to protect against x-rays (2doses worth according to XKCD), so yeah, don't dismiss it.

I think those are 2 doses afer taking into account the shielding you get. I wouldn't expect it to be much higher without shielding though, but medical profession is both extremely sensitive about legal issues and not beyond doing weird things to cater for irrational fears of people. For instance, the reason you get "a MRI" and not NMR - for Nucler Magnetic Resonance, as it is called everywhere else in science - is because patients were afraid of the word "nuclear".

Hmmm... I admit that I rarely put my foot down if there is no traffic, so I suppose I am rolling through. If that's what's being described, then I suppose it makes some sense. I've been surprised a few times in my life and even when I thought I was going slowly enough to stop, it wasn't the case. Now, I am pretty careful at stop signs. I haven't really been able to see a good description of what "treat a stop sign as a yield sign" means in practical terms, though. "If you hit something or got hit, then you did it wrong" doesn't seem to be a great way to proceed ;-)
I think we'll need to take this discussion offline, and we will be posting more details about how Hyperscan is implemented to our blog over the next few weeks.

Our different implementations clearly start with different emphasis; some of design decisions will probably be clearer as we post about our implementation and the hard constraints in DPI.
> I fail to see how my statement is inaccurate considering by your own admission there are indeed several (3) orders of magnitude difference.

"Three orders of magnitude" is a meaningless thing without context, and I just pointed out that in this context it still doesn't change the conclusion that the exposure is neglible and not worth considering.

> The dentist at least has the decency to put a lead bib over you.

That's because people are irrational and you need to dance around them for their own sake.

When proxying network IO, there's not much that the language is doing. The burden is more on the OS.

However, the comparison is not fair because what you are doing is just passing data in and out while haproxy is running a scheduler to maintain timeouts, logging, checking acl rules on connection establishment, maintaining stats, etc..
at the next stop sign he just cruised to the stop sign in the 2 foot space between the cars and the curb and blocked slowed down even more cars

If the cyclist passed you and even more cars already at the stop sign, that implies that if, instead of passing him, you simply followed him as you would have any other vehicle, you would have ended up in the same place in the queue of motor vehicles at the stop sign. Thus you saved zero time by passing the cyclist.

In city traffic, the average speed of a cyclist can easily be greater than the average speed of motor vehicle, yet many motorists, perhaps not understanding the difference between maximum speed and average speed, insist on rushing past cyclists at the first opportunity, safe or not, just to stop and wait at the next intersection.

The primary difference with respect to San Francisco is that every single residential intersection has a 4-way stop. This is quite different from the UK where (as far as my experience goes living in London for three years) the 4-way stop is almost unknown, instead you either get a preference to the busier road or a roundabout/mini-roundabout/micro-roundabout.
Yes, please! Those stop signs everywhere are often times unnecessary and a gigantic waste of fuel. Let's just give one street the right of way and the other street gets a yield sign. If they are both major streets, there should be a traffic light or a circle depending on the traffic patterns.

Thanks for correcting me. Those blurry frames can be tough.
kWh is energy storage. I'm talking about kW: kilowatts. Tesla's batteries can only output 2kW.

This means that the PowerWall can't even supply a typical 3-ton air conditioner (which uses up 3500Watts of power).

Lets just look at your typical appliances: your air conditioning is on (3.5kW starting, 2kW running), your refrigerator turns on (1200W starting, 200W running), and then the Sump Pump started to go (2kW starting, 1500W continuous).

Just preventing your food from spoiling and your basement from flooding is going to require TWO powerwalls before the inefficiencies of an inverter.

I'm not even talking about capacity (kWh). I'm simply talking about the amount of power the Tesla batteries are rated for. 2kW (3.3kW peak)

> Anyway, the prices will undoubtedly come down over time. Competition from China, etc.

On the contrary. It looks like Tesla is trying to loss-lead on batteries to help scale up their Gigafactory. Tesla is assuming the cost will come down already, and is burning cash until it happens.

I am not saying to tune HAProxy to win the benchmark. When you want to compare, it's a good idea to compare apples to apples.

Like I said in my previous comment, HAProxy is a doing a lot more than what it's being compared with. HAProxy has timeout schedulers that are activated on every packet received, maintain stats, logging, and a lot more.
This point is often missed. It isn't javascript that's slow, it's the DOM and all its overhead and cruft that's slow. Or it's the connection that's slow. An important distinction.

Where is there a road in San Francisco with a speed limit over 35MPH, but without a separate bike lane? I'm sure there is one but I can't think of it. It's definitely an edge case which should not affect how one thinks about the Idaho Stop.
Define "better work"? Sounds like that second situation will lead to some crappy architecture with bug-ridden code. The rocket will likely fail and explode.

Meanwhile in the first scenario you've got breathing room to build some truly beautiful code that will pay dividends as the upfront cost is amortized over a decade of reuse. We see similar results in academia, where incredible research can be done because there is predictability and reliability in the environment in which it is being performed.

High-stress rushed environments just lead to shitty work/life balance and, at best, mediocre solutions that will provide a stop-gap solution until there is time to do something better.

Look at the incredible output from engineers at Google, Facebook, etc... Most tech companies do their best work once they've removed stress and timeline pressure from the equation. The trick is to get to that as early as possible in the company's life.

Any sort of repeated major problem with an essentially brand new car would be a dealbreaker to many people because it's so rare with most modern cars. It's an inconvenience in day-to day-life caused by something you paid a premium on to buy new, and it's an indication that once the warranty runs out, you're stuck with potentially expensive repairs. Even if you don't intend to keep the car, reliability problems hurt the resale value.

That's what I used at home for the last ~4 years. But At my work I was using Ubuntu and Windows in my last job.

Also, Elementary wouldn't be called stable really (and they don't claim so) - till few months ago at least, I still liked it.

The OP was using a shorthand expression for the oppression zones surrounding free speech zones. Free speech zones are areas where normal rights apply, implying that their immediate vicinities are special areas where free speech is curtailed. The zones themselves aren't oppressive, but indicate that oppression exists at their borders, and the free speech zones themselves are used to justify the oppression zones.

Also, roads are primarily funded by general revenues such as sales and payroll taxes. The idea that your registration fees buy you access to the road is completely absurd. Registration fees in California cover a tiny fraction of road costs, and even registration fees together with fuel taxes are not even a majority of the money spent on roads.
It's way more nuanced than that. Fingerprints are certainly way more like a password versus an adversary like a crazy girlfriend who gets your phone, but closer to a username against a very formidable adversary. Certainly not equal though.
And if a crazy hurricane "Sandy" situation occurs again, you can always go out to the local gas station to grab more gasoline for day 8, day 9, or day 11 without power.

During Sandy 80% of New Jersey gas stations were closed, so no you couldn't just run to the local gas station for a top off. Batteries + solar aren't going to power your whole house through Sandy but it will keep a minimal power level indefinitely so you can charge your phone, run your fridge, and perhaps have a night light to read by. Though I have to agree I don't see the point of giant batteries outside of a doomsday prepper strategy. It is much easier and cheaper to just draw power from the grid at night.

The rule we have right now is much easier to follow and leaves nothing up to interpretation, yet SF cyclists seem unable to follow it as it is. I doubt that replacing that with a rule that makes things much fuzzier will do much good. If the existing easy rule is neither followed not enforced, how is the new fuzzy rule gonna be anything than a permission to do even more problematic stuff. I am really not worried about cars here, but am terrified as a pedestrian.

Let's take this house: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Oakland/2822-Myrtle-St-94608/home/...

Property taxes according to Redfin are $2,471 a year, for a total cost of $74,130. A thirty-year mortgage at 4.5% interest will see you paying $350,229 in interest over 30 years.

Together, that's $1,178 not going into equity.

Here's a Craigslist search for homes with 4 bedrooms or more in the same neighborhood:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/eby/apa?nh=64&bedrooms=4

Note that there aren't any comparable places to rent, but even the ones that are close are more than double our "amount over equity per month" figure.

This also assumes your rent over 30 years is going to stay fixed the same way your mortgage payment is. It won't:

I couldn't find good data on housing appreciation for the Bay Area, but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it doesn't mirror the U.S. overall.

And either way, appreciation only matters if you're thinking of your home as an investment. Assuming you're thinking of it as a place to live, it makes sense both in pure cost terms and for some things that are harder to put a price on.

For instance -- how much is having a permanent address worth to you? Or the price of never having to move again, never having to sit in another group housing interview again, never being able to be evicted by "owner move in" or whatever shibboleth is currently popular in Bay Area eviction bootcamps?

This would make it impossible to do any bike touring at all. The longest trip I did was 2,000 miles and I can tell you: you need to go on highways, period.

Interesting numbers. Vietnam is pretty high up there for deaths / 100k people. I'd attribute that more to the lack of proper safety equipment. Almost everyone wears helmets (required), but they are a joke in terms of quality and nobody wears any sort of armor cause it is too hot. Many people also ride two up which is the max allowed (3 with a baby). The speeds here are also just not that fast because of the traffic and quality of the scooters. Top speed is maybe 30mph.

In San Francisco, I strictly follow ATGATT and have had zero accidents, but a million close calls.

That site doesn't seem to have publicly available info. But wouldn't mizadolam (just to calm you - any benzo I suppose) + a good dose of opiates (say, 1g of diamorphine for a naive user) work well? So long you like opiates (aren't one of those that gets really sick), it wouldn't be anything but amazing. And if you underdose, you just nod in and out for a while and try again (assuming no rescue).

If there are rescue teams coming in then I suppose that wouldn't work and you'd just wake up in Narcan hell. What are your choices then?

A lot of people say these kinds of things, as if they are constantly dodging homicidal bicyclists, but the statistics of bicyclist-pedestrian violence show that it is quite rare, and not particularly violent when it does happen.

One of the trappings of luxury is a quiet cabin. If you're driving a nice car (that's not a sports car) you won't hear the engine. This used to be advertised heavily before it became standard on most decent cars.

I think the squeaks /u/Lightbody is describing are related to repairs, which are absolutely the last thing you want to do to a car, especially dash, headliner, doors, large non-mechanical areas.

Another trapping of high quality cars is fit and finish, which include things like smoothness of edges and gaps, flushness, door closing effort, paint quality, etc.

If you look at things like the edges of Tesla's components and the width of the gaps between doors, they are poor compared to (other) luxury cars. [1]

To be sure, I do think Teslas have AMAZING features, like handling and acceleration, but they do show their youth in fit and finish.

Saigon is attached to the rest of Vietnam, which is used to slow-moving two-wheel traffic chaos. SF is attached to the rest of the US, which is used to fast-moving four-wheel traffic. When you're making traffic laws, you have to take into account how visitors will commonly behave. Not necessarily limit yourself to their behaviours, but it's important to keep that demographic in mind.
I think the reason we're talking about the vans (at least the reason I am) is because it's directed radiation, not just an electric field that extends symmetrically in all directions.

The dentist I went to (who was really great) explained that there was actually a pretty big difference in the radiation levels between hardware from 10 years ago and today. IDK when the reference date for that xkcd chart is. f

But either way, why should we let someone subject us to even slightly just a tad potentially harmful in a directed manner? I'm not cool with that.

Edit: Okay, I agree with your response below.
Police where I am don't enforce full stop for cars either.

The consequences of two "yield" parties disagreeing about who got to the intersection first are a lot less severe when you're dealing with vehicles that weigh less than their operators. We already have laws that vary according to size and weight: trucks are not allowed on certain roads and highway lanes.
I'm pretty sure that was found to be caused by people accidentally hitting the accelerator.

- at the moment we don't store the HTML content of the visited pages (except of the last one), so the only way to determine if something changed is to run the 'pageFunction' on each page again and compare the results. This can be optimized in certain situation, e.g. you can crawl a product listing and only go to product details page if some basic property changed. Saving HTML for each page is certainly possible, but after the crawler finished loading a page, running a pageFunction adds very little extra overheads.

- if a page cannot be loaded for any reason, a detailed description of the error will be present in the JSON results. We want to implement a limited number of retries for these pages, for situations the error is just temporary.

- certainly, if your crawling strategy cannot be expressed using simple pseudo-URLs, you can use the low-level 'interceptRequest' function to control exactly how each new page navigation request is handled (enqueued/ignored), tell the crawler which URLs refer to same pages and shouldn't be visited again etc. You can also enqueue arbitrary pages to crawl using 'context.enqueuePage'. In fact, you don't need to use pseudo-URLs at all and control everything from your code.
Pretty sure the latter situation ends with homeless engineers and dead test pilots. Einstein developed his seminal theories working as a patent clerk; not sure you can argue without evidence that an insane, high-stress workload is conducive to anything other than burnout.
