To me the answer is making dedicated travel roads for bicycles and pedestrians. This idea is ok, in that it slows cars down, and maybe that's enough, but what I'd love in a city like San Francisco are dedicated roads that allow bicycles to safely travel across the entire city without having to worry about getting run down at every intersection.

There are some streets that are safer than others, but what would be great is if say Valencia, Cortland, Market, Haight, Cole, Columbus and some other roads through downtown (like minna St. and Stevenson) were dedicated to bikes. Some have main bus lines, so maybe allow those to continue to operate as mixed use with bikes and buses. The intention is to make bike thorough fares which are safe from collisions with cars and especially delivery trucks.

This in my mind is the fastest way to transition from a car gridlocked city to one where alternative things like bikes, and battery assisted bikes, can operate safely. Most travel in cities is under 2 miles, perfect for biking (I have a bike that has seats for both my kids, which makes it great for families too).

Safety is probably the largest reason why more people don't bicycle, and targeting main shopping districts would encourage their use to get to those places, while also increasing the general enjoyment of those areas, with the added benefit of increasing traffic to businesses in those areas.
I'm not super familiar with x:Bind, but based on what you're describing, it sounds like something that could be done in WPF (or, presumably, something that copies its design), as a markup extension. Fpr example (note wpf:Lambda):

Obviously this is still more verbose, because it is a converter on a binding (although it could be shortened further by providing a custom Binding-derived class, I think).

Ok, so according to you people choose to be poor because they value other things more than wealth. It sounds like you view their consumption choices as merely being a different lifestyle, kind of like me having a tiny amount of living space and being very mobile.

So I guess the real reason Silicon Valley isn't "solving" the problem is because there is no problem to solve? I wish someone would tell this to Trump and Bernie!

As a converse to this....

If you raise your price, you will only end up dealing with businesses that have identified a need for your product, and know exactly how much fraud and other issues cost them.

With your price as is anyone can use it for any purpose, including those that don't involve losing money because of a fraud transaction.

I considered using you for my site just to get GEO-IP. Sure, I could setup a geoip database myself and keep it in sync manually, but at your price point... it was a no brainer.

Plus I'd get threat analysis thrown in so I can know if one of my users isn't able to see the site because Cloudflare is blocking them for being a tor exit node.

But of course if you charge $1000 a month for that, I won't use it for 'any purporse'. I'll just use it for pre-screening new subscriber accounts (and not free ones) because that's the only time it'd make sense.
God, I'm so tired of this boring platitude. Every criticism of Haskell not satisfying category laws (of which there are many) are of the form "undefined breaks things". Obviously! How would a runtime-error-inducing concession to practicality not break things? Haskell also fails to satisfy the category laws if I make unsafe FFI calls or use unsafePerformIO to crash the program randomly. Thus is the nature of programming languages.

That can't physically work: for one because the parallaxes would be different and almost never line up. If something's colinear with a star today, it won't be colinear 6 months later, when the Earth's on the other side of the sun.

At 2 light years for instance, that spacecraft would trace an apparent ellipse 3.3" in diameter, while Tabby's star (1,480 ly) would be stationary (0.004" parallax). In comparison, the star's apparent disk is just 30 μas wide (0.00003").

I first encountered the WWW in the fall of 93. At first I was extremely confused, although Mosaic provided pulldowns for things like usenet and gopher, so I just assumed it was a GUI tool for that stuff.

By the end of that year of school I was recording & visiting every URL I encountered, regardless of what it was. They were that novel. By the time the next school year started it was getting increasingly difficult to do that, I gave up some point in that Fall 94 semester.

Sadly I was pretty adamant that the whole web thing was never going to take off and would be short lived. I suppose I got that one wrong.

Seriously battery breakthroughs have a reputation of being nice tricks in the lab that are infeasible in production. So before I get excited I really want to see a mass quantity of batteries made.

All that aside, I think finding a way to finesse the reaction one proton at a time like cells do would be a bigger win. I want a battery that runs on ATP.

No that is not really the TL;DR of her post (which on her site is a condensed version of what she put on Starts with a Bang).

Her main point is that the HEP community has been racing down a road for many years and probably missed the "dead end" sign some years back. In particular, she takes issue with what is called 'naturalness' and its often used justification for PBTSM. She concluded with:

"I hope that this latest null result will send a clear message that you can’t trust the judgement of scientists whose future funding depends on their continued optimism."

This is an unreasonable standard that doesn't hold true for gasoline or other fuels.

The byproduct of having something that has a high energy density is that it has a lot of energy to dissipate when things fail.

Learning at least the basics of programming is generally a good idea, as it will help you to understand how things fit together. eg medical software + medical hardware

As you have ideas, you'll have a greater knowledge of what can work, and greater insight into how to approach things.

A language such as Python is very suitable for beginning programmers to learn with, there are many books/tutorials around, and the foundations of the language itself are reasonably stable.

eg the stuff you learn will likely still work in 5 years time :>

I think a person not trying to call the author a racist or disparage the topic would find the description par for the course in that category of book regardless of author or ideology. Publishers do know how to sell books. I think a person who goes into the book with a must-find-fault attitude wouldn't gain anything from the experience, just as for any other book.

As to why? I don't know how much control she has over that, not that I disagree with it in the first place. I know from a couple of author friends on the bottom rungs of the ladder that blurb and cover are very often not approved by the author. If you routinely judge books like that then you might instead want to read the first chapter or listen to the audio sample.
Yes, it has animated stickers, as well as ones with sound.
What would it look like if a super dense object like a neutron star or black hole were feeding off the star? We only "see" those dense objects when they expel the material they were pulling in from their accretion disk as relativistic jets, right? So if an object were just leeching mass from a star but not (yet) expelling the material, would it just look like a dimming star?

This doesn't necessarily rule out aliens. It could be a post-singularity society of virtual aliens living in a quantum computer, leaching energy directly from the sun and periodically expelling waste material through relativistic jets. Of course.

Slowing cars down is huge. First of all, probability of someone dying when a driver hits a person dips below 5% right around 20mph. At that point you already invite life back onto the street. Then once you have it there, drivers learn that they can't be distracted. Drivers should not feel comfortable when driving in urban environments.

That's not say you shouldn't have good old-fashioned car sewers, but the dearth of accesses should make it abundantly clear that those places are just car-movers, not places where economic activity happens.

I'm from Barcelona (but abroad now). The whole bus system is being revamped (for the last 4 years) and is being done gradually.

It's been a painless transition for most. In general, the amount of transfers to reach a destination has dropped, the average speed of bus routes has increased and the frequency of the revamped lines is better than the old ones.

Basically, the buses "adapt" to the grid following "horizontal", "vertical" and "west-east diagonal" routes (as much as possible).

The streets the buses run on are either main streets (those that will be the veins of the supergrids) or pacified streets with dedicated lanes (in some cases reverse direction lanes [such as Carrer Pi i Molist]).

The transition, as I said, is being implemented gradually, with very intensive campaigns informing impacted neighborhoods. IIRC, 50% of the new routes are in place. New ones are introduced twice a year approx.

Regarding your comment about the intersections in Eixample... I bet you will not find anyone in Barcelona who does not love them. They make the city open. And even if it seems impossible, there are occasions when they can be used to make the neighborhoods come together: http://eldigital.barcelona.cat/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/en...

The actual paper is at http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v22/n8/full/nm.4133.html

I was going to see if it could be torn apart but

1) Shen-Orr is a very thorough, un-full-of-shit researcher,

2) I like how they used CyTOF in a novel capacity here, and

3) depressed people do tend to get sick more often.

That said, some of the largest divergences between mice and primates are in the brain, so it would be wise to exercise caution when generalizing these findings to humans.

If you need the full paper and have misplaced your subscription credentials, I hope you would not resort to plugging the DOI into http://sci-hub.bz like so:

Disclaimer: I know noting about this particular case.

It is possible to fool FB into removing a page or some content. One way that is sometimes attempted (with some success) is to spam the comments on the page with objectionable content (hopefully goading other people to respond in kind) or (if it's an open group) join it and do the same. Then have other people report the page.

Also, simple misunderstandings happen. E.g. a post gets removed due to being threatening; in fact the post was just citing a threat allegedly made by an official. This seems to be even more likely to happen if many people report that content as objectionable: thus, people opposed to some organization/idea organize into mobs that report related posts as being objectionable.
Gasoline alone does not contain extractable chemical energy. Gasoline mixed with oxygen does, though, and that mixture makes a pretty good bomb if you have any amount of it, like most strong reducers mixed with strong oxidizers. Liquid fuels may burn if they are exposed to air above their flash point and a flame exists, but they will not explode like a bomb.
In her TED talk [1] Tabby explains how comets could be an explanation for this phenomenon, she even says that it is consistent with their observations, but then she goes on to say "but it 'feels' a little contrived". Sorry what did I miss here? I thought we were discussing science and coming up with theories that support our evidence using data, how does feeling fit into this picture?

Why would it be so unlikely that a big comet swarm happens to be between us and Tabby's star, a distance of 1500 light years!

Comets seem like a pretty good explanation, I haven't heard an argument against them.

>Reducing parking in cities is one decision that could have large scale effects and that doesn't require a dictatorship or nationwide collective epiphany to institute.

Making cities worse is likely to have the effect of driving people out of them. You do in fact need a collective epiphany (or a Constitutional amendment to shut down freedom of movement) to get people to accept that they simply need to live worse lives in the short and medium terms so that their children can live better ones. If you make that happen, then maybe we can pay off the national debt too.

I was fund-raising for a metered content play (DRM, I guess we'd call it now) in the fall of 94. You wouldn't have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for data subscriptions on CD-ROMS, you could buy an article for $10 or $100 at a time. And, who knows? In the future - when this Internet thing takes off - and distribution is "free" - maybe people will pay a nickel to listen to a song they copied from their friend!

All I got back was: "What's the Internet?"

This was about a year after I left Motorola, for failing to be able to sell them on how content distribution between portable super-computers with built in wireless data modems was going to change the world. sigh. Oh, well. I guess they paid the price for their lack of vision! :-)
