Especially if you take "needed" to mean the amount of infrastructure that would be utilized in a particular place if it existed.

Much of the point of public planning is that in practice that definition of need isn't one that really creates fantastic outcomes.

> I understand what you're trying to say about patriarchy

I wasn't trying to say anything about patriarchy, just to be clear.

> Would you celebrate "I have monthly track marks", or would you develop coping mechanisms to try to hide it?

Neither, probably. If everyone got it, I'd say "I have my IBS these days" and everyone would understand.

> We generally don't share the details of what we do with our bodily fluids with other people.

Sure, but there's a difference between "holy shit this period is so goopy, it's like I have a second nose" and "this period is giving me pretty bad cramps".

> So I would say it's easily "understandable".

My issue is not about describing periods in detail, I understand why people don't want to invoke images in other people's heads. I'm just puzzled about not even being able to say "I have my period this week", which is like saying "I have diarrhoea", it's not really that descriptive unless the recipient tries hard to imagine it, in which case, it's their problem :P

The web has done more to centralise computing and take it out of the hands of ordinary people than any other technology. People don't even control their own data anymore, never mind having control over the software they run.

It's hard to see that as a win.
In neighbouring Finland, the largest grocery chain (S-ryhmä, using brand S-market) is also a co-operative. It is the merger result of the so called "red" and "white" co-op chains.

S-ryhmä, together with the private chain of stores (K-ryhmä) are now seen as a politically corrupt duopoly which is responsible for the high price of food in the country. S-ryhmä "owns" many politicians and have a disproportionately large influence on zoning decisions made by municipalities so that competing stores face a barrier of entry to market as they cannot get a plot to build a shop. The locally emerging German giant, Lidl, is seen as a healthy influence here, bringing some competition to the market.

So, all in all, co-ops are not inherently good.

(Market share: S-shops have 46 %, K-shops have 33 %, Lidl has 8 %. Spar has all but disappeared. S-shops sell much of the same stuff as you find in a Co-op in Sweden, as they work together in purchasing logistics to achieve economies of scale.)

(PS: If you see a shop marked with "KKK" in Finland, don't worry, it's not owned by the Ku Klux Klan. The K group just has different sizes of shops, small corner shops are "K", medium-sized markets are "KK" and hypermarkets are "KKK".)

The Nicaraguan Sign Language (ISN)[0] is an incredibly interesting phenomenon, demonstrating at least that humans will find a way to use language regardless of whether or not a culture of language exists around them, provided that they have the opportunity to do so early enough. Does it confirm that language capacity is innate, that Chomsky's "language organ" (I'm sure he rues the day he ever used that phrase; he's been trying to clarify what he meant for sixty years) exists? It's not the only occurrence of this sort that is known but it's the first that was documented as it happened. (Hawaiian Creole English also arose among children in relatively recent times, but its documentation is oblique, consisting mostly of recorded complaints about a new and obviously unacceptable manner of speaking among "today's youth".)

It's important to keep in mind that these kids were not taught the language, they developed it on their own because they had no real language. They had ways of communicating, of course, through mimicas, but fundamentally humans are unsatisfied with merely making their needs known. Language—the movement of thought from one skull to another—is a huge part of what we are.

It's a fascinating story, but there are better tellings of it.

Just to be clear for all the readers, the alternative to falling into the induced demand trap by building more roads, is to improve public transportation infrastructure. Such improvement has been shown, perhaps counterintuitively, to have the biggest effect on road traffic.

The shorter your commute via public transportation, the less traffic on the road.

With respect to the subsidization effort, there is very little transportation infrastructure in developed countries that is not subsidized in some way - though I'd like to see a discussion of that.

I can think of mining towns, logging roads, private university campuses, Disney World...what else?
Period trackers don't protect against STDs, and neither does 'the Pill'.
Normal healthy body function is getting pregnant many times throughout your life. Just because periods are what happens every month to a female body in current society doesn't mean it's normal or healthy.

There's reason to think that modern women having so many periods throughout their adult lives is at least partly to blame for higher incidences of various female-specific cancers (breast in particular, but also uterine and ovarian). Reducing the number of periods a woman has in her lifetime greatly reduces the risk of those cancers.

Pretty interesting read. However this won't fully replace a flash implementation until we have AES-128 decryption support.
I think in some major metro areas, the road capacity is vastly behind what is needed. My commute is is 26 miles of limited access highway that occurs at nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of the posted speed limit.

The only reason there is induced demand is that the infrastructure is too small to support the way our cities and metro areas have evolved. Maybe the way they have evolved is a product of the Eisenhower Interstate highway system, but we're already invested in that infrastructure. It would take an inordinate amount of money, resources, and effort to relocate and redesign our cities than to just build the correct size (and number) of highways to support the population.

In addition - one thing that it seems highway planners rarely plan correctly for is growth. The population of the Washington DC metro area has grown from about 3 million in 1980 to over 6 million currently. Many of the highways are nearly the same size over that span.

I have started taking every article of complaint from citylab with a grain of salt. It always seems like there is an agenda with these articles.

In this case, they are trying to curb the building of roads. I do not know how that helps. Alleviating traffic and bringing increased capacity to roads helps spur economic activity.

The Big Dig Project on the Central Artery in Boston helped alleviate traffic and resume economic growth in an area where it had stalled. The capacity of the artery is expected to be fully realized by 2050.

In NJ, we are always stuck in traffic. And that is the main reason why NJ's economy has stalled. No more room for growth.

The point of the article and citylab's purpose is probably to direct more use of public transportation. But likewise, the more public transportation you have, the more use you will have there too.

I really don't see the point of this article.

Yes; the difference is, I understand, that in a co-op, every owner has one vote and gets the same dividend. So you cannot buy a bulk of the stock to invest more heavily, nor can you buy a controlling stake.
That's the point, "induced demand" is simply the fact of making it easier to travel by car, encourages more people to choose to travel by car. It is not that the trip takes three times as long, it's the fact, they built a wider road and the journey took half as long, prior to the road being widened.

You cannot solve this by building more roads. You solve it by putting roads on a "road diet" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_diet enabling modal share https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_share . You create segregated space for walking, for cycling. You prioritise public transport.

You want more people to choose any other option, other than the car. This, however, is hard when traffic modelling still focuses on traffic flow (maximising car throughput) over modal share.

In the UK, it estimated that the school run is 20%-25% of rush hour. Our road design precludes kids cycling to school.
Aren't you forgetting the small detail that China is literally ten times the size of Japan?

What might do this would be some sort of microtheatre: just as people go to the "third place" of coffee shops rather than entertain at home, start a social trend for collectively viewing films in the equivalent of someone else's very well-appointed lounge. Not necessarily on a fixed schedule either, but adhoc choice by those present.

Unfortunately the licensing fees required for this would be prohibitive. It's expensive enough having Sky Sports in a pub.

Another reason HLS is so widely used is that the App Store Guidelines require it for video streaming longer than 10 minutes:

Video streaming content over a cellular network longer than 10 minutes must use HTTP Live Streaming and include a baseline 192 kbps or lower HTTP Live stream

It's also the only format that works with Apple TV via AirPlay.

If you're already deploying HLS to target iOS and Apple TV (natively as well as in Safari), and HLS is already supported in other devices like Android, desktop browsers via Flash, and now JavaScript, then it seems like the path of least resistance.
I've previously used a Goldtouch split keyboard. It was very comfortable because you could adjust it to any split angle and tent angle you want. It's also relatively cheap, in case the pricetag of mechanical keyboards makes you hesitate.
Your comments in this thread read like you have a personal grudge against Matthew Garrett. Please keep it professional.

> So Garret contacted Ubuntu for some unspecified project that he claimed he wanted to start. In reality, he was mining for quotes to misinterpret. Sad git.

Trying to create some legal security around derivatives of Ubuntu, he asked for clarification in general, not about any particular project, but about any possible project started by anyone. The question is really quite clear: "What precisely does one need to change for Canonical to be comfortable that one isn't trying to pass it off as Ubuntu". Their answer was "we won't tell you".

It looks to me like you're trying to spin this somehow to make Matthew Garrett look bad, accusing him of spinning it to make Canonical look bad. While the whole exchange could have been handled better on both sides, I don't see how Matthew Garret is to blame for Canonical's unwillingness to clarify their IP policy.

I visited Greensboro once for an event at the university. I make a point of taking public transit all over the world and have made transit work for me in Europe, Asia, rural parts of Mexico... but I couldn't in Greensboro. The transit instructions to get to & from the airport on a weekend involved steps like, "get a taxi, take it 20 miles to this bus line, then sit on the bus line for an hour" when the hotel was 15 miles from the airport.

I tried to walk to a fellow conference-goer's hotel from my hotel to meet up for dinner. It was just 2 block. After confronting a bunch of 10-foot tall fences around parking lots and ending up on a highway entrance ramp from a dead-end sidewalk, only 50 feet from my destination but unable to get there, I was finally forced to admit that car is king there and they don't want you walking. (I did finish walking there by going around all the fences, darting down an unlit busy street in a valley with no sidewalk and no shoulder, and approaching from the other side.)

Being my cynical self, I don't think the government didn't care enough to make infrastructure investments possible. I think they actively didn't want to give handouts to those no-good lazy moochers of government service who oughta get real jobs and get a car like responsible citizens.

I've heard Heritage Foundation people and others argue very strongly that people should just buy cars -- public transportation is an inefficient handout -- but I can't find any quotes right now. Stephen Moore in this debate made remarks in that direction (http://intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/past-debates/item/1...) but he didn't include my favorite line (by some candidate) that people should just join a church that will help them monetarily with buying a car so they can be good US citizens.

Canonical's contribution is welcomed as long as people could continue it without getting blocked by their IP.

There is no obsession over "community" or "integration" as you stated. It is a valid concern that if others can not contribute freely, we are killing the essential of what made Ubuntu possible.

> There is no such stigma around shitting. Have you really never heard people joking what happens after they eat Taco Bell or similar foods? People don't talk about particulars of shit they take - but it's not a complete taboo.

I've heard girls talking about their periods much more often than talk about their dumps, so no, I don't think taboo for menstruation is bigger.

> But seriously - those two are nothing alike and comparing them in such way shows that you haven't given it any real thought.

Nothing alike? At the very least, both are discharges from the crotch area, and both are disposed of in or around toilet. Both require sanitary accessories, and both can signal your health. I probably haven't given menstruation as much thought as you, Janusz, however I don't understand why you're so aggresive about it.

Yeah that looks like the Easy-Bake oven of 3D printers.

Having said that, I've got a XYZPrinting Da Vinci printer (the full size 1.0 version) that I bought when Amazon was selling them for $400.

I've had it running for about a year now with absolutely zero issues, though I can't speak for their software since I run it using Simplify3D.

Wow, what an illuminating study. If you build roads and the population continues to grow and/or pent up demand is release, those roads will eventually/immediately clog up.

Obviously people use roads until the equilibrium of pain is met (like any economic decision). But, there is a point where you can supply so much capacity that there won't be traffic. It's a lie to say that no amount of capacity can overwhelm all forms of demand.

The only real question is how much road would it take to fully satisfy demand and what would that cost vs the alternatives. (Ignoring pollution issues)

> Now, Canonical keeping to themselves has a very crucial advantage: they leave everyone else alone. They stay in their corner, they don't bother, they don't intervene

I certainly get why it would be in their interest to not have much collaboration. But if that's a problem for them, they should not have based their business around GPLd products. All these problems could very easily go away if Ubuntu were a FreeBSD distribution, not a Linux one.

This "stay in their corner, don't bother, don't intervene" does bother developers who increasingly have to code for Windows, OS X, Linux and, separately, Ubuntu. It's very unpleasant, and they're getting a lot of hate because users are suffering just because Canonical's business plan was shit.
They should be legally required to disclose exactly how they can isolate who downloaded the files.

It's possible that the client is capable of more than just being a server. Running

help "Bethesda.NET" 0

in the console reveals some interesting commands, such as login, checking if the player is logged in, getting some profile stats and whatnot.

So of interest is whether the scripting engine (Papyrus) is capable of accessing the network or changing anything about the network commands (especially destination/content). If so, that's possibly bad because a lot of players have a propensity to just run as admin[0] due to script extenders in the various games, which are required for a lot of the most popular plugins (e.g. SkyUI).

Used innocently, this could be really cool for modders. Check for updates or even download patches while the game is running for example. Or, hell, multiplayer.

There's also a couple of other commands I found interesting in the game console, such as PyConsole and LuaConsole, which are described as Python and Lua consoles, but running these didn't do anything for me. Those would be fun to play with in game.
