This is why it is so important to ensure data is deposited in an independent repository at time of publication. It is too easy to claim the data will be made available and then simply not do it, and there is little recourse.

It would be really worthwhile for the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors to hear your story, as they are proposing that authors should be allowed to withhold data for six months after publication. See my comment elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11019760

If you have access to PubMed Commons, I would post a comment warning others that the authors refused to make the data available despite promising to do so in the paper, and that people should treat the results with caution.
The auto-thesaurus would make your prose worse a lot of the time, because often you want to hold the word choice constant to make other choices salient ("We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender", but the principle extends to less obtrusive cases).

Maybe if you make it really easy to reroll the dice and get another rewording, or go back to the original? That could be interesting then.
Do you have even one case where this has worked? You can outright drown your horse but even that won't necessarily make it drink.

Not all speeding is created equal. I agree that 10 miles over a 30 mph zone is probably deadly, if it was properly zoned and not a money-grabbing move (it looks from the article that it was a correct limit, maybe even too high).

However, many speeding tickets (at least in my country and others) are due to low maximum speeds on roads intended as main thoroughfares.

I read here in HN that plenty of U.S. towns live off speeding tickets, see

http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2011/10/19/town-that-liv...

http://www.9news.com/story/news/local/investigations/2015/05...

In my country they have some similar systems, and made even worse because they specifically target tourists and foreigners (especially Argentineans) for the ticketing revenue.

I work for an insurance company, and I've read some research that suggests that speed limits are improperly sent more often than not (a few times too high, but most often too low). Interestingly, accidents are going steadily down due to better cars. Other factors are much bigger influences than just speed (alcohol, stress, etc.), and insurance companies are introducing monitors for that. Hopefully self-driving cars will continue the downward trend :) .

IMO, dynamic speed limits, based on weather and road conditions and other stuff (lower on school days?), should be the default in the 21st century :) . Germany already does it.

Another problem was improperly planned roads, as in the article (another comment mentions that the road in question is a "feeder" road).
Wow - the packed version even gives asm.js a run for its money!

I haven't worked there in almost four years, so that would be hard to do at this point. Even if I was, part of what sustained this is that we were a classified program, so only cleared auditors could access the full information.

Furthermore, our government customer didn't care as long as they got their deliveries on time and as cheaply as possible. I know in theory a program office can't lean on DCAA, but in practice (especially considering the clearance situation) I don't know if the PO would obstruct such an investigation. After all, from their POV getting what they want for less is not fraud.

Based on that there were 130,557 deaths from unintentional injury in the USA in 2013. In that same year there were 32,719 fatalities resulting from auto accident. So 25% of the unintentional injury fatalities were car crashes. Which puts the car crash risk lower than most of the other major causes, and lower than either suicide or homicide for every age group I believe.

I suppose the perspective that I also missed in my top level comment is that the oil buried in the ground is a form of wealth.

So selling it cheap transfers that wealth to the people that use it. The global economy seemed functional enough at $60 oil, so the decision to keep the pumps flying when the price is below that is a little bit of a wealth transfer.
Sounds about right. I'd add, I want the app that tells me in a HUD what the speed limit actually is. Maybe an audible boop if I cross the line. Help me actually try to be in conformance when I think that's helpful.

The Case Against Robot Rights
My car can warn me if I exceed the local speed limit by more than a set amount. I had to turn it off after a while, because it was just getting annoying on 495.

It's pretty funny to drive back into the city from points west on I-66 as the speed limit drops 70-65-60-55. I usually maintain a steady 7 over and that makes me go from one of the fastest cars on the road to one of the slowest.

The American oil producers are actually losing money or just breaking even on many of their drilling operations currently. This might seem like it does not make sense, but for many of these companies, the losses associated with this are directly related to their attempts to keep their employees employed. They are eating through cash reserves quite quickly. While this may not effect the very large oil companies like Exxon that drill world wide, this definitely affects the Sandridge, Devon, Chesapeake and smaller sized producers where the majority of their oil production is in the United States.

Management vs. Leadership
It's fine for researchers, in most cases, to keep the data to themselves until publication. This allows them to do this analysis first.

But many clinical trial researchers want to withhold the data even after publication. This is fundamentally at odds with how science works. It means no one can independently evaluate the results.
Pi is transcendental, but that has nothing to do with "containing every number". A transcendental number is defined as a number which is not the root of any non-zero polynomial with rational coefficients. The two properties are not related. For example, the first example of a transcendental number (Louisville numbers) isn't capable of being base-10 normal (it only contains the digits 0 and 1).

The property you're referring to is related to normality. A normal number in a base b is a number where the frequency of digits in that base approaches 1/b, but is not a rational number (and thus does not have cycles). Pi has not been proven to be normal, but if it were then it would have the property of which you speak (which is an informal property provided by normality).
Like others have mentioned, you keep saying "boutique hotel with contemporary design" but if you're going after the common nomad, they don't care too much. I've been location independent, mostly in se asia, for over a year now and had almost exactly what you mention here, co-living with multiple nomads in a beautiful villa in Ubud, for around $400/mo (one quarter of what you have here). I understand it is part of a bigger plan but as a potential customer, I see no reason to use your service for the few months a year I want to spend in a cheap location like Asia, and would rather unsubscribe during that time. That is probably why you will require a yearly membership, or something of that sort :)

ReSharper and Visual Studio should be OS X compatible, it's not like every developer is using Windows. Such a monoculture.

See? It goes both ways (which, from your edit, I know you understand, but it's work a specific example). This guy's labor of love is a well crafted, thoughtful application for programmers using OS X. There is zero controversy there. Same with any other OS X-only application that Windows or (Li|U)nix users want.

When we beg for cross-platform apps from developers who don't understand all those platforms, we end up with web-browser-as-platform Electron-based apps that bundle a browser to render their UI layer. Sometimes that's done well (Visual Studio Code is quite nice) - often it's just okay bordering on slow. In fact, it's so rare that high-speed apps are available in some native form for multiple people platforms, I consider it a special gift to use one (Sublime Text comes to mind).

Let's not stifle the creativity and drive that small or single-person developer shops have by suggesting - even passively - that we are entitled to three OS-specific builds of anything they write.
While it's nice to have small on-disk containers for some applications (e.g. deployment pipelines/CI), for production, I've found that Alpine doesn't save you much in RAM. I'd love to see this become something people look at as well when evaluating base images. To me at least, this was a far more important constraint when running Docker in production.

Google Overtakes Apple as World’s Most Valuable Company
There is so much going on in this article. The quote from a wall street banker says lower oil prices "will push back $3 trillion a year from oil producers to global consumers"... But since oil companies don't pay us to take their oil, the only way that could be true is if you believe that the people's money is supposed to be yours. Which perfectly sums up the attitudes of wall street bankers.

If I used to pay you a big pile of money, and now I pay you a smaller pile of money, that isn't a shift of money from you to me.
