The problem is, dooring only affects the doorer after it happens. Most other traffic violations, like speeding, blowing stop signs, failure to yield, etc, can get you a ticket regardless of their outcome. Opening a car door into traffic, in Chicago at least, puts you at fault but there's no getting a ticket for not looking. There's only a ticket after your action causes an injury.

Obviously, we can't have police ticketing everyone parallel parking for not looking in their mirror, so we think we need to attack this from an education perspective alone.

I propose instead, we stop trying to segregate bikes into lanes that they don't fit into! Good bike lanes have a buffer between cars that makes dooring almost impossible.

Good:

|B|\|C

Where B = Bike and C = car and slashes and pipes = paint on the roads.

Using your blinker is a requirement in the driver's license test, too. So is driving with your hands 10-2, coming to a complete stop at all stop signs, and driving the speed limit.

I don't think adding something to a driver's test is going to change much.
You know, I've come to the same conclusion from a different direction. I decided that people's expectations frequently exceed the cost of fulfilling those expectations because they spend a lot of time speaking for others. All of this stuff we're doing right now is non-scalable when it comes to implementing everyone's different privacy concerns at scale in a centralized solution. We simply can't scale infrastructure at the speed the public expects, while at the same time throwing away privacy rights it would take them half a lifetime to understand.
This is good.

Dark matter has always in my eye so similar to the God hypothesis that we conjure something that is mysterious with undefined but whatever necessary to explain away the discrepancy or mystery.

Acknowledging that we don't know -- not even assume it is matter that fits our current understanding -- is the start of understanding.

Now it appears we do know it fits some mathematical equation ...

PS: the God hypothesis could well be correct, but that should be the last resort -- It is not really an explanation, so it is not necessary until the explanation is needed for reasons of other than explaining.

why can't you use just aws micro free t1? they give you a micro machine for 1 year free. what loads do you anticipate, what hw requirements do you need for your machine? i think hosting a simple website with sqlite database works great on an aws micro, if you need something more glorified like postgresql or mysql and multi-tier, then perhaps you should go for something like digital ocean or paid aws, this all depends on your requirements which you haven't specified.

currently i'm hosting a golang web + restful api + websocket server + sqlite3 db + redis + nginx all on a single micro AWS server, but my marketing hasn't really started yet, we're talking about <100 hits thus far per day.

Look at the data. How many cities around the world have an utopian mix of people, where millionaires live next to homeless tent encampments and [insert ethnicity here] live mixed with [insert another ethnicity here].

The uniform cities I can think of are Soviet cities. Soviets worked hard to Harrison Bergeron their populations, and also to eliminate any shred of social cohesion other than the prescribed love for the Party. And even in Soviet cities, the Party leaders live in their own nice segregated neighborhoods, far removed from the Krushevaks the forcibly uniformized rest of the population is forced to inhabit.
Like three years ago, I used to think I was not-normal because I only went every other day. This didn't cause me discomfort or anything, it was just how I went.

Then for some reason I experimented with eating prunes. I really don't know how this idea first came to me but I've eaten prunes nearly every day for two years now (my dad and friends make fun of me for it). I might still only go twice every three days, but feel much emptier. You also, by eating one prune too many, get a sense of what getting too empty feels like. It's an important sense to get attuned to. Fiber is very important.

5 Quick Tips About Meta 2 Augmented Reality
Not everything can be solved with technology, but many if not most things can be improved with it.

It's important to be specific here that "technology" does not necessarily mean an app, or code, or even computers. It means taking advantage of the rich ecosystem of products, services, and talent at our disposal today and improving something.

"Disruption" should be a positive change: Removing the old and replacing it with something new that's better in every respect.

Sadly "disrupting" companies often replace the old with some new thing that's not as good, but is more convenient, or is exactly the same just minus the middle man. That's not innovation, that's just optimization.
It already is the law and a fine-able offense in most states. Unless you have doored someone or had it done to you, most people are just not thinking about it.
> Any cyclist who rides on the sidewalk, runs a red light, or flaunts traffic convention in general absolutely deserves to be treated as a second class citizen.

As does any motorist who drives above the speed limit? Or any pedestrian that crosses with a red signal?

Different modes of transport place different importance on different rules, out of both safety and inconvenience. It's not cyclists breaking the rules - it's everyone, but you think of it as "traffic convention" when it's the rules that you/cars like to break.

(Also interesting: cyclists jumping red lights may be safer - https://www.rudi.net/node/16395)
quality news sources, like NPR

NPR is CNN marketed towards psuedo-intellectuals by replacing common terms with sophisticated sounding vocabulary. Most of the pieces that discuss topics I am heavily familiar with are shallow and often misrepresented.

I say this as someone who really wants to like NPR and struggles to find any unbiased news source.

First we had Newton's laws of gravity. It worked quite well in the solar system scale and everyone was happy. Then Einstein formulated the special theory of relativity and Newtonian gravity was found to be incompatible with that. So Einstein formulated the General Theory of Relativity (Einsteinian Gravity) which solves that problem. As a bonus, his theory could also explain the eccentric behavior of Mercury's orbits, which Newtonian Gravity couldn't. It also
predicted that galaxies should be able to bend light (lensing) and this was confirmed by Arthur Eddington. However, for many galaxies, the amount of lensing is way
off from what the Einsteinian theory predicts. Similarly,
rotational velocities of stars in a galaxy are also way off
from what is predicted by both Einsteinian and Newtonian
theory. In addition, when you apply the Einsteinian theory
to the entire universe, you can't explain the observable
geometry of the universe. That is also way off. Dark matter
and Dark Energy are just a very clever way of saying "we have no idea what's going on with gravity in the large scale
(beyond solar system scales)". No one has ever observed
any dark matter or dark energy so far. It is entirely possible that Einsteinian theory of Gravity is just an
approximation that works well for small scales and that
we need a new theory of gravity at the galactic scale
or the scale of the universe. It is also entirely
possible that Dark Matter and Energy don't actually exist.
It's possible to deploy SaaS software on-prem now. There's a c) solution that takes the middle path where we all win. Unfortunately it takes implementing a type of "suffering currency" to enable how people pay for it. If they are willing to slow down a little for reliability, they get more reliability. If they insist on running recursive workloads, and in general just chew up a bunch of resources for no gain, they get their workloads slowed a little. Works with the Open Source model too.

The real answer is to get rid of street parking when you have a bike lane. They're incompatible. In fact, just get rid of street parking altogether. As a bicyclist, I've been doored. As a pedestrian, I find it difficult to see around parked cars to know if it's safe to cross the street in some locations. As a driver, I find it difficult to to see around parked cars to know if it's safe to enter the street AND I have a massively increased cognitive load of paying attention, not just to the traffic on the street, but to everything that may be emerging from a car or from between cars.
Everyone want to fix it, no one knows how to.
Thanks for your response, between your comments and someone's previous answer it's clear how I disregarded how a Marketing professional would view this.

I find your résumé example acceptable and easy to understand, by what you did, I as a recruiter looking for someone with graph design skills would get a better understanding of your skills.

The direct mail and poker playing monkey examples I find poor - for me they get classified as the "who screams louder" type tactics they don't add anything of value, they just benefit the individual who wants an outcome of their target.

Someone else here said something about how "Analytical types" find comfort in rules and I have definitely been described as an analytical even though I'm very comfortable breaking certain rules (bureaucracy mostly) I'm uncomfortable feeling like a "cheater", in other words: I want to deserve.

Never heard of it before, but I'm grateful to hear about it! My projects were always small enough that a traditional version control system wasn't worth the time to set up. Just keep an archive of each day's progress in a folder and call it done.

With my latest project, I'm maintaining multiple splits of the codebase for different platform-specific features, and sharing the code with a team member. I was about to bite the bullet and start installing cvs or git in a VM and going through the learning curve, but this seems right up my alley and the kind of system I'd mesh with well. Thanks!

In fact, treating particles like vortices and vice versa is a good analogy that can be made more precise with an idea called particle-vortex duality. The basic idea is that you make a change of variables so that the vortices of the old variables become the particles of the new variables and vice-versa.

Because by the time this plan actually works, humans won't even be driving cars anymore. And as I said I would be very surprised if it actually did work, given how quickly people lose the habits they are taught in driver's ed (how many people keep 4 seconds of distance, wear their seatbelt, never speed, adjust their mirrors correctly, look both ways for trains, etc.)
Push to an S3 bucket with upload only credentials with versioning turned on.

Your master account (or superuser IAM account if you're paranoid) gives you read/write after 2FA login, but you could share your backup creds with the world and never have your backups pulled out or overwritten.

Use S3 lifecycle rules to expire backup objects after x days; data transfer in is free, the operation requests are pennies per thousand, only the bandwidth is expensive (10 cents/GB) to retrieve the backups when you need to perform a restore (even then, still very cheap).

Also, by storing in S3, you can backup and restore from anywhere.
>> I'm unsure what this alludes to. Are you talking about minding tail-call optimisation? That's not a feature of Prolog only.

Many of the optimizations I've seen are ensuring that no branches are explored that the programmer knows are irrelevant once certain unifications have succeeded, and to control the ordering of branch exploration to try to find faster answers first. Indexing is also manual, and while I haven't looked in a few years, I haven't seen any JIT-style heuristic feedback that lets the system optimize itself for the runtime conditions of Prolog programs.

In my definitions, which some certainly argue against, declarative means you let the CPU do "whatever it takes" in the background, while imperative has you directly managing where the program counter goes, in what order, including explicit thread management (which Prologs that I've seen make you do as well).

I really appreciate that I'm not alone in my intense skepticism of this "colonies on Mars: coming soon!" nonsense. I'll believe it when we've solved, or at least even begun to address the big problems involved.

Keep in mind that the Old Net, particularly in its heyday (pre-1993) was small. A few thousand nodes. A few million users perhaps. Usenet at the time was ~50-500k users according to a guestimate from Gene Spafford. Microsoft conducted measurements in the early 2000s suggesting a few millions of users IIRC. Marc A.

There's a lot of silliness in this article, but I'll focus on one glaring example because I'm on mobile.

"In 95 percent of the cases, bad weather strangely follows a disappearance, washing out footprints and other clues and making it impossible to carry on a search until the weather clears. In 98 to 99 percent of the cases, tracking dogs are unable to find a scent or simply refuse to track."

There's nothing remotely sinister about this. It just means that when those things don't happen, the people get found. Tracking dog failure is a necessary condition for human disappearance. No great shock that it's found to be true whenever someone disappears mysteriously.

Likewise with the missing people being found weeks later, miles from where they were last seen. The "missing people" who stick close to where they were get found pretty quickly. It's the wanderers who are difficult to find in time, and so show up in these statistics.
Reminds me of the opening narration to the French movie La Haine. Approximately translated:

"This is the story of a man who fell from a 50-story building. The man, as he fell he kept repeating to reassure himself: 'So far so good, so far so good, so far so good.' But the important part is not the fall... it's the landing."

I can see the point of licenses on vector fonts containing nontrivial characters with many complex shapes etc., but at these small pixel sizes it seems like a bit of a fool's errand to talk about licensing/IP at all --- e.g. there's only so many ways to put pixels on a 6x13 grid and make it look recognisable as the letter 'M'. Hence all these small bitmapped fonts are extremely similar, with only slight variations in things like serifs/lack thereof, slashed zero/plain zero/rounded zero/etc. --- which are themselves a handful of pixels' difference. They all look almost like xterm6x13, which is public domain.
Nearly all big companies started as small companies solving more trivial problems.

Facebook was a way to find people you met at parties at Harvard.

Apple was a company that made computers for hobbyists.

The idea is that you learn to become a good entrepreneur solving the smaller problems.

It is true that getting doored is not part of the Dutch vocabulary as it is not something that happens often. But there are more reasons than grabbing the handle with the opposite hand.

A non extensive list: 1) Dutch car drivers all have been bicyclist before they get their driver license, everyday to school more than an hour being nothing being frowned on. 2) Major transit bike routes have separate bike lanes, the tiny narrow ones of the gif in the article barely exist. 3) Bike lanes in cities usually are placed between the footpath and the parked cars, with most of the times a 50cm wide band left of the bike path allowing for car doors being opened without going over the bike paths, usually this is used for planting trees too 4) All politicians drive bike, the Dutch Prime Minister comes to work on his bike 5) There are local associations part of the national http://fietersbond.nl in every town and they passionately lobby every time they see an opportunity. 6) these volunteers are highly respected and their input is valued by the municipalities 7) one of the prime goals of Dutch national ministerie of Traffic is lowering the number of injured and death in traffic, good recording of cause by police is step one, good statistics then determine the ways roads are laid out. 8) On smaller roads without a separate bicycle path, as a bicyclist you're always on the watch if someone might step out of a car and try to keep a distance by bicycling towards the middle of the road which isn't an issue as this is low traffic street, major bike transit always has separated bike paths with distance to the parked cars. 9) during driving lessons, watching bicyclist is a prime part of the lessons and a good driver keeps an eye on the mirrors for back-coming bicyclist and will warn passengers on the back seats before they get out.

And there are probably more reasons that Dutch have few accidents being doored.
I agree -- the article is more of a collection of pointers towards Open Source resources, and doesn't directly say why it's important or interesting.

But, at the risk of deviating from the article contents I do have a great reason why they should. It's simple -- as someone who I can't recall said, “If libraries were invented today, they'd be declared illegal and shut down.” We seem to be perpetually moving towards a world where you don't own any content, you have to perpetually license it to consume it; and the company that really owns it can take it away if you can't pay the monthly subscription, or have the wrong name, or happen to travel to another country.

Libraries and open source are alike in that both have shown that you can make a model different from the standard “produce this year's widgets / buy this year's widgets” actually work. Libraries buy and discard millions of books per year, and ensure that anyone, regardless of their financial standing has access to literature. Similarly, Open Source has ensured that you don't necessarily have to pay massive sums to Microsoft or Apple or their ilk and comply with their ridiculously restrictive policies in order to run software on the computing hardware you own.

Perhaps a bit tenuous, but I think this is a good enough argument that libraries should know about, and possibly promote an interest in Open Source.
