The issue in residential areas is the time and distance it takes to come to a full stop. Speed of travel is a proxy measure for those two values.

A good awareness test to try (on a barren road out of the city and away from any traffic) is to slam on your brakes at various speeds, and in various conditions (dry/wet/pouring), and observe how much time it takes for you to come to a stop. Bonus points if you're still in your own lane when you arrived to that complete stop.
Still no mention of injury severity.
What's even cheaper is not wasting money on "all sorts of desperate measures" and instead, crack down severely on the people actually out there injuring people with their cars (which is also against the law).
I have the Pebble Time (Kickstarter Edition!) and I like it for the most part. My favorite feature is seeing text messages on my wrist so 1) I can enter 2FA codes without taking out my phone and 2) seeing if I actually need to reply back to someone.

What annoys me is the constant Bluetooth disconnection and sporadic battery life. Maybe I'm a heavy user or am remembering things incorrectly, but I feel like I used to get more battery life. I get a 20% battery warning every two days it seems.

I only wish the screen was retina like my co-worker's  Watch. It's nice.
Dual-boot was entirely routine in the Linux world at this time. Especially as you could install it without disrupting your existing Windows installation.
A bottle of Coke would be even more than $1.50 if you were legally required to pay a team of upper middle class salaried attendants to sit you in a very expensive chair in a very expensive building and hand-feed it to you. Don't get me wrong, that is how I would like to enjoy a Coke now and then, but it's good to have less luxurious options available at a lower price.
I have only been moderately depressed, and I have no experience with this particular treatment... but I have had experiences that for a few hours swept away my anxiety, poor self-image, and so on. Metaphorically, it's been like opening a window for someone who's been stuck in a basement. Even without extreme euphoria—just a simple sense of contentment, like nothing is very wrong—that's such a revelation.

A big part of depression seems to be this incapacity to even imagine any kind of robust, non-fake happiness. In bad moments one can even get paranoid: like, why is everyone going around pretending like they're happy, when they obviously cannot be? I think it's like this with any persistent mood; your whole world view is altered.

So however you find it, just a couple of hours of, say, having a conversation where you don't feel like the worst loser in the universe and the nadir of civilization, that just shows you something about life.

"Oh... I... I am just a person like these other people... I don't have to radiate horror and disgust... I can just stretch my arms right now and feel my body as an animal with the right to live and enjoy... Huh... Hah! Hahaha!"

And then the next morning maybe you feel like crap again, sure. But the understanding that these are just different mind states is so valuable. Like, for someone who really doesn't believe in anything except depression anymore, I totally understand suicide. So giving people the chance to feel something else, even just for an hour—if psychiatry can start to really do that, that's so wonderful.

This company is starting to approach Theranos-levels of hype. Do they really have such amazing tech that they can garner these kinds of valuations? Sure, the demos look amazing but they're a far cry from a production product.
Not brutalist but since we're talking concrete... I've long been a fan of Japanese architect Tadao Ando[0].

A lot of brutalist buildings are imposing blocky structures but Ando's buildings are poetry in concrete. The looming mass of negative space in the Chikatsu Asuka Museum[1] is one of the spookiest and most awesome architectural experiences I've had (it's dedicated to ancient tombs in the area). I used to love hanging out at Galleria Akka[2] and I treasure the afternoon I spent at the Church of Light[3].

For me a defining feature of Japanese aesthetics is appreciation of the materials from which a thing is made (there's a word for it but I've forgotten). A wooden spoon should not hide the fact that is made of wood. A clay tea bowl should celebrate its "clay-ness" rather than try to cover itself with glazing, unless the point is to celebrate the materiality of the glaze. (This aesthetic is the exact opposite of skuemorphism.) Ando applied this concept to concrete. In some of his buildings the concrete is rough and you can see the stones embedded in it; in other buildings it is smooth as glass.

All that said, I've heard from architects and occupants that his buildings leak like sieves. They're mostly not practical buildings. They're intended to make a visual statement.

Jupyter can do a lot, if not the same as Quiver. Jupyter is free, multiplatform, and supports 40 programming languages. I also use Emacs Orgmode, which is very powerful, but I like the look of Jupyter notebooks.
But all that is true of Facebook and Amazon, say.

I'm not saying they don't do AI, I'm just saying it's not their unique focus that sets them apart from other companies. Search-and-ads sets them apart.

You could certainly identify very large datacenters, Big Data and now machine learning as tools that Google have pioneered. But they don't have an exclusive lock on those.

It's not the difficulty of the lock but just the fact that it's there as a deterrent. If someone really wants to get into your home they'd break a window or kick down the door. The lock is mostly for crimes of opportunity and personal reassurance.
Maybe that's why my experience was pretty boring. I played with a group of people I'd met specifically to play a game of Diplomacy, and their inevitable betrayals didn't hurt at all.

CS; I did all the labs and homework at the beginning of the semester and turned it in online. It was a huge state school, so even the hardcore engineering classes had lecture sections of 200+ students. It was far easier to get away with than I had expected.

"This coupled with expected negative earnings outlook creates a vicious cycle of downward trajectory."

That's kinda my point: what negative earnings outlook? Lower oil prices means lower costs for every industry but energy. "Developed" markets are mostly oil-importers, and are still (as far as I know) the source of most industries' profits.
It probably wasn't very funny to most of the people who thought their good friend had died, especially those who've dealt with actual suicide in their lives.
"Clojure Applied" covers transducers.
A lot of counties, particularly the rectangular ones, define addresses throughout the entire county by establishing a block size (like 1/8 mile), counting the number of blocks in one direction from the origin point of the county, and multiplying by 100 to get the address number.

So if state highway 50 runs north-south, in a county where the origin point is the county courthouse, and the gas station on it is 8.6 miles north of the courthouse, its address would be "6880 N Hwy 50" or "6881 N Hwy 50", depending on which side of the road it was on. If the farm supply is 9.2 miles north of the courthouse, it would be "7360 N Hwy 50".

If your road has curves, you just switch the direction letter between N, S, E, or W. Sometimes a county will set the address origin point as the southwest corner, so there are only north and east addresses.

This system of addressing owes a lot to the Jefferson grid system of the Public Land Survey System.
You can always get a few Common Lisp papers that describe them.

Not a huge fan of the US News rankings, but here is the list for top undergraduate engineering programs (at doctoral granting institutions)

http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-gradu...

There is only one ivy, Cornell, in the top 10 (though Princeton does clock in at 11). Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of these rakings, and using them to the digit (4th place vs 6th place) is genuinely absurd. But overall, you'll see here that large public research universities, none of which crack the top 20 for US News undergraduate college rankings, are much more prominent where it comes to engineering.

There are reasons in the methodology for this as well - I think that the algorithm used to create the general rankings isn't similar to this one, which (like the ranking for grad programs) is more academic and research focused (not considering average SAT, admission rates, funding, and so forth).

But overall, the Ivies actually aren't highly notable where it comes to computer science and engineering. Large public research universities, as well as elite non-ivy privates, tend to predominate here.

This does make a certain amount of sense. If a STEM major is an "equalizer", where smart people who went to less prestigious schools can compete on (more) equal footing, it would make sense that students at highly selective undergraduate programs might eschew engineering or CS in favor of fields where their undergrad school might provide a stronger differentiator. And, conversely, if a super smart undergrad at San Jose state will have trouble overcoming the pedigree disadvantage in international relations, but can get a more equal crack through engineering, it would make more sense to study STEM.

I'm definitely guilty of some "just-so" reasoning here, but it does fit.
I thought you were being overly negative but perhaps had a point about HN. But this is all over the guy's sales pitch on his product page? You're reading way too much into it. It's one thing to complain about a monoculture in a community but another thing entirely to expect a product page to laden itself with anything except for pitching a product as best it can.

This looks a lot like the Jupyter/IPython Notebook, which is a free and open source "scientist's notebook". If you're interested in mixing LaTeX, Markdown, and code from almost any language (Python, R, and Julia are very well-supported but there's an open kernel spec), then this might be a more appropriate tool for you to use.

The Jupyter/IPython notebook default storage format is JSON, which makes it a little more friendly for text-based version control, and also enables a static HTML view of notebooks (http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ketch/teaching-numerics-w...) on GitHub.

Helen Shen wrote up a great article for Nature (http://www.nature.com/news/interactive-notebooks-sharing-the...) on how scientists are using the notebook, but it also provides a good overview of how you might use it, as well as a free interactive demo.

"Just because you read a couple of articles on HN about activists wanting to see profits"

Just discovered HN recently. Try most articles in the media and finance people they interviewed. People were either impressed with their consumer value or talking about how they were a failed business in the making. Rarely saw an exception when the name came up.

Could've been some media bias that made it appear one way while real opinion of investors was different.
Whoa, your framework looks excellent. I've been looking at the options for making a simple graphical program that can run in native/desktop and in browser without introducing ridiculous bloat, and had already concluded that C++/emscripten was likely the best option, probably using GL. (The close runner-up being Haxe/OpenFL, but it's a bit heavier and kind of an experimental leap.)

I'm still deciding on which libraries to use, and Oryol suddenly seems like a great option, though what I'm making is not a game and is not 3D (basically a score editor). Other options considered were SDL(2) or something more basic like GLFW. But Oryol's killer feature here is that it's specifically designed to result in a lightweight web version. (Though SDL1 also results in small sizes, but that's because the emscripten team put a lot of work into converting SDL calls into browser API calls)
Why oh why do people still write standard GUI applications in non-portable platform ?!

Digital music actually became more flexible when it went from DRM protected music to MP3s. At least with that I can backup and restore it as it pleases me. But I get your overall point. It just doesn't change my preference.
You could buy and hold until a stock went to zero, for example.

It also includes the costs for people that don't pay (less of a thing at a clinic than a hospital) and probably some costs associated with Medicare and Medicaid (of course only if they reimburse below the actual cost).

It'd be cool if the bill explicitly listed the actual costs separately from the implicit taxes (hospitals must provide stabilizing treatment, they don't get direct reimbursements for it, this is effectively a tax).
Education as a Tool for Disrupting Terrorism
it's not shortsightedness. it's conscious myopia. you are on "bloomberg BUSINESS" after all. scoped to business concerns. financial business itself is scoped to days, weeks, and quarters.

now, if this tone was struck at an article in US News or Time, then yes, surely you could accuse the writer of "shortsightedness"
I think you might be right. Maybe I should edit the post and not call it "more scalable", since I only have six cores to test on. But if it does top out at a higher core count, there are several ways it could be optimized.

Saudi Arabia ran a record deficit of $98bn last year (~16% of GDP). That's massive and oil wasn't so cheap the whole year so 2016 could be really massive. The government and citizens of Saudi Arabia have a lot less wealth because of the oil price downturn.

To pay for it they are slashing spending and liquidating non-oil assets. Their foreign reserves have gone down over $100bn from their peak and is down to four years at current spending levels. Who wins? Whoever was buying their oil.

Are you assuming that developed countries are net energy importers, and developing countries exporters? The U.S. is close to coming into balance, thanks to fracking. Plus, some large profits from oil come to the U.S. when prices are high, because many oil companies are based in the U.S.
Or a basket of energy companies like XLE.

To add to that, and perhaps more importantly, is human brain's constant reaction time and tunneling of the vision at higher speeds. The former means that you'll be travelling a longer distance before being able to react to something like seeing a pedestrian entering the street.

The latter narrows your peripheral vision such that looking straight, you won't be able to detect movements on the footpath and crossing streets.

Capitalism could be indirectly responsible.

One of the causes why people postpone having children is financial insecurity. In their mid-twenties they cannot afford to have a home, they are unable to secure the costs of first few years of raising child, when they don't know if they will have a job in three months and they have zero savings. Add student loans to the mix, popular desires to travel the world, to "live" and it's obvious why the developed countries have problems with natality.

One of the reason of population boom in Czechoslovakia in 1970's was the policy of support of young families. Newly wed pairs were were provided security, they got their own homes, they had job security[1], they got financial support for raising children. It wasn't a luxury, you couldn't lead a lavish life, but you knew that if you have a child, everything will be OK.

[1] we are abstracting from the fact, that in socialist countries it was unlawful to be jobless. You were provided a job, but it didn't have to be a one you would like.
Why would a slightly more open immigration policy result in a Japan without any Japanese people? Nobody is proposing Schengen-agreement style open borders, anyways.

The culturally (and racially) homogeneous state is a myth. Even the Japan you might perceive as homogeneous is the result of many waves of migration stretching to pre-history (Jomon, Ainu, Yayoi, Chinese...)

Places that have relatively open borders (EU, US) aren't experiencing anything like "cultural mass suicide" - unless you buy the nationalist rhetoric coming out of right wing and neo-nazi camps.

All cultures are evolving, including Japan. Sometimes it is gradual, and sometimes it is faster (your example of WWII). Healthy societies accept that change is natural, and try to make sure that it happens in a constructive way.
But why? If he can be completely booked up with solid clients just on word of mouth alone, why even bother with an internet presence?

Hell, that describes me and I'm nowhere close to being a home contractor - I haven't applied to a job the traditional way in 7+ years, and all the jobs I've worked have been via my network.

This is preferable, since I don't have to deal with tire kickers or companies that lowball me - my network filters that - and the quality of jobs that get put in front of me are all pretty high quality.

Casting the net wide and slapping your contact info everywhere is one way to do it, I'm not sure why there's the belief that this is somehow necessary, or even better than the alternatives.
Chromium Command Line Switches?

2 - In the UK we have vehicle excise duty (annual car tax) which is related to the official figures for emissions of the vehicle. Generally larger engines produce more emissions so there is a recurring cost to buying a larger car beyond the fuel itself.

3 - I heard a UK insurance industry analyst explaining that premiums are up year on year because the most fuel price sensitive customers (predominantly younger drivers and retirees) are driving more miles since prices fell last year, and these groups are also more accident prone.

New bills target non-compete clauses in WA
The value of oil has not changed during the last nine months. If the buyers had been breaking even at $100/barrel, at $30/barrel, they're getting $70 worth of merchandise for free. Imagine the shoe were on the other hand, and the average hourly wage were slashed by 70%.

It is important in this example, that I assume the original deal is not unfair, which is not always the case. Price of oil as well as price of labour has other dimensions; if it weren't so, there would be much less war and revolution, respectively.
