Unless moving out of SF/NY is a deal breaker, it's not necessary to make $100k+ a year to have a solid middle class life. You won't be driving a BMW making $55k a year but you won't need to eat Ramen to make the mortgage payment either.

Obviously kids make this harder and my perspective is certainly biased as my wife and I don't plan on children so our nut is much lower every month than our friends with kids in HS or college.

> Snark aside, "supply and demand" fails to fairly set price when the demand is inelastic

I wish more people could peek under this hood rather than simply posthoc rationalize every price increase with "demand-supply" theory. For the concept to work, you need to have many things in "control". Therefore, I simply ask everyone who uses that argument to justify me that price that they rationalize. In other words, you can use the "demand-supply" argument for any price $60, or $100. How is $30 the actual price that demand-supply has set?
How to dockerize a meteor app with just one script
As a Norwegian I support this. However it would be better to focus on 4g + streaming rather than DAB.
I take this road, and while I feel a free market is great (which this isn't, there are only really 2 choices, my way or the highway), this is absolutely ridiculous. The problem is if I decide to take this route I have to go out of my way to get there. Then if I see that it's $30 I need to turn around and backtrack for like 10 minutes to take another route.

And we aren't talking about a long stretch of road. If it was 20 miles and it saved me an hour, awesome! We are talking about A FEW MILES and for my route it saves about 15 minutes.

And I might even sing a different tune if EZPass wasn't such an awful system.

Yet another money grab by the government, as if the nearly 60% tax rate isn't enough (federal, state, sales, fuel, DMV, etc).

They did this the classical way too, introduce it at ridiculously low prices <$1 just to get the system in place and then they've wasted very little time in raising prices.

Ive used them in the SF Bay Area and Los Angeles where they converted car pool lanes to be express ways and carpool lanes.

It would be great if they were forced to provide evidence that they actually work because to the casual observer they don't work.

To those arguing that driving is a privilege, supply demand etc, get off your high horses. It's tough getting to work in these cities without a car, it sucks seeing lanes taken away and give to the wealthy, and it sucks even more to have the government take even more money without evidence of results.
Exactly. It nearly happened in neighboring Sweden, but luckily the plans were cancelled.

I mean just imagine that the plans to scrap FM and go digital were made before mobile broadband, podcasts and streaming music.

Before they would have sworn billions, every person and every car would already be streaming internet audio anyway.

There's plenty of private roads and bridges.
My first goal would be to set up a working jasper [https://jasperproject.github.io/] or "jarvis" type of voice-controlled system. Admittedly, there aren't that many use-cases, more of a "cool to implement" sort of thing. But it would be cool to speak voice commands into my smart watch.
Your mention of "nearly-empty roads" clearly demonstrates that you neither read the article nor understand supply and demand.

FTA:

> Tolls can range from as low as $0.20 per mile during less busy times, and up to approximately $1.00 per mile in some sections during rush hour. However, rates may rise significantly above the typical range for periods of time in the event of unusually heavy congestion or a specific event like a traffic accident or lane(s) closure.

It gets expensive exactly because the road is congested.

I lived in that area for 10 years and one of the biggest problems was knowing how slow a route was before you commit to it. Any signaling in advance will make it a little better for the next people and potentially clear out sooner. There are plenty of ways around - not many good ways around normally - but based on that ~10 mile trip taking 30 minutes, suddenly those "not good" ways will become "ok" based on the times alone.
As someone who lives in the region, the lanes are complete gouging. They diverted a tremendous amount of tax dollars to build them, and then turned them over to a private company to collect these dynamic tolls. Part of the deal is that cars with 3+ people don't pay tolls.

The 495 corridor is one of the worst traffic areas in the United States -- the number of lanes needs to be doubled to support current demand. In past snow storms, it has jammed up so severely that cars ran out of gas sitting in traffic. When severe weather occurs, Virginia needs to eliminate the tolls and open up as many lanes as possible. We paid for the lanes, and we should be able to use them when we need them most.
Arguably though, if the capacity of the road is reduced, then charging more for what remains is supply and demand, right?

> I also believe this is primarily driven by money

Quite likely. I am not sure exactly when it came to be, but at some point the national broadcaster, NRK, transferred maintenance and such of the broadcast network to Telenor.

While Telenor is on paper the national telecom company, it has since the late 90s operated as a publically traded company with the government as a major share holder.

So what is likely going on is that Telenor has found the older FM equipment expensive to maintain, and thus want to replace it with DAB. Quite likely because they can then extract rent from all the extra channels being broadcast.

We had a similar transition to digital TV a few years back, and as best i can tell the analog channels were barely turned off before Telenor started lobbying for the frequency space to be put up for auction aimed towards mobile phone networks.

Damn it, Telenor was making noise about replacing the landlines with mobile phones for a while. This because their switches in and around the major cities were getting old. They seem to have dropped the idea though, likely because they noticed they would have to put up a whole lot of new mobile cells to cover all those villages tucked away in narrow valleys.

Frankly big business in Norway has gotten very brazen about their milking of the population for all sorts of rents.

Nope, it's even more confusing than that. USB-C is just the connector type. Some USB-C cables only support USB 2.0.
In that case, one could charge $100 right? The capacity of the road is reduced then as well.
It's quite a bit easier to run a bouncer than a mailserver! With mail, you have to worry about handling spam, and whether your messages are delivered or blocked, and all the setups are really involved.

With Weechat, as long as you manage to add a server from the UI and then `/relay add ssl.irc 8000`, you typically just need a script that runs `tmux new-session -d weechat` on startup. And it has mobile clients.
I think perhaps it worked as intended right? The goal seems to be to keep traffic free flowing in the lane.

> Tolls for the Express Lanes are dynamic, meaning they change periodically based on real-time traffic conditions to keep the Lanes free-flowing.

> However, rates may rise significantly above the typical range for periods of time in the event of unusually heavy congestion or a specific event like a traffic accident or lane(s) closure.

So because the trucks were slowing things down the price raised deterring more vehicles from entering and slowing this down more. It makes sense to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Except that it's forbidden in most European countries to remove it (full disclosure: I recently had to replace the it on my own car).
Indeed the fine for driving without is expectedly way higher than changing the part itself.
e.g. In France the replacement shall cost roughly 2500 €, the fine for driving without the part is 7500€. (source https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichCode.do;jsessionid=7563...)
Google maps consistently attempts to route you onto these lanes if you are travelling on the west beltway, which is annoying. They have an option to "skip tolls", which might work but isn't the same thing -- there's a difference between opt-in tolls and tolls that are required to use a bridge or highway.
The demand for road space is only inelastic for people who drive themselves. For everyone else, choosing to share a ride with more people and accept a route with more stops is a good way to consume less road space. Express lanes make that trade-off possible.

Maybe I misread this but my understanding is that the algorithm is intended to have all lanes have the same flow rate. If one lane is slow, charge more on that lane to incentivize people to use the other lanes instead. If all lanes are flowing equally, they will be priced (mostly) equally.

In this case, the slowness was based on weather conditions and plow trucks not because all the traffic was on express lane and all other lanes were empty. Clearly, their algorithm needs to take road conditions into account when creating this prices.

I didn't read this as a premium to use the express lane or only allow rich people to get home, just an unintended consequence of a beneficial program finding an edge case.

1. True. Organic compounds have been found in Nebula. We don't know if gravity and "ground" are necessary to turn it into life.
2. Although the study uses the traditional term for the background radiation "Cosmic Microwave Background", technically, it likely wasn't microwaves at that time, but closer to the visible light spectrum (maybe even beyond that). We only see the background radiation as microwaves now because the EM waves have stretched out due to expansion of the Universe.
It does not. Any kind of software can run on any kind of turing complete hardware. Unless you're one of those believing in the quantum mind theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind . Just as a human brain can simulate a microprocessor (although unusably slow and with errors), so can a microprocessor simulate a human brain (also unusable slow). Read a bit more on turing equivalence - a badly explained topic unfortunately, because you know how bad are mathematicians at explaining stuff, even if imho it should be part of junior school curricula in a simplified version. (Oh, and maybe it's brushed off because it can also lead to pretty trippy conclusions: take a cockroach brain which is likely turing complete, mount it as a cpu in some kind of computer, stuck in a maigc time-machine box that makes time run order of magnitude faster, add some really fancy input/output tech, and you could run a human mind on it... think of what the reincarnation weirdoes would milk from this :) )

I'm pretty sure that if you find a way to extract a mathematical model of a human's personality, and a way to transform it to reduce "chemical noise quircks" and other hardware dependent but unnecessary "features"/bugs, you could run it just fine on a big datacenter and have a working immortal human mind.

(I'm also pessimistic enough to believe that we'll solve the "general AI" problem before solving the "mind extraction" one unfortunately. Hopefully our creations don't destroy us completely before solving problem (2) and we have time to pass on some direct immortal legacy of what it means to be "human"...)

P.S. but yeah, I agree that engineering better suited hardware might be actually easier than getting the current type of hardware fast enough or than inventing the mathematical transforms needed to run a mind's set of equations on current type hardware... we're slowly getting to custom hardware for ai ( https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-supercha... ), but I imagine the future will be more analog/clockless...

Not sure if there has been any research, but yes I have heard on the radio how some people are against the express lanes because it does have a negative impact for those who can't afford it, and it's quite dangerous.[1] The latter might be due to a bad implementation however.

Less a "faulty algorithm" and more a moral hazard. The intent of the rules is to limit usage during periods of congestion not caused by the road operators themselves. The distinction is that human actors are not moral-free mechanisms.

"It's one thing to play Starcraft or Go well. But implementing this is either mostly a question of luck, or an incredibly lifelike robot with incredible facial recognition skills."

"This requires no AI, just a lot of improvement in energy density and actuator technology."

It did say city streets though, which makes me think it would need to strategise and be able to:

1. Adjust speed and take corners close such as what you see in F1 races.

2. Switch between endurance and sprinting when necessary to maintain energy for the whole race.

3. Run behind others to stay in the tailwind and reduce energy cost.

All require human level sensory input and a strategising component.
1. Write children's books - because I love reading good books to my children, and if successful, the revenue scales and they have great recurring revenue potential (much better than adult books, I think).

2. Try to bring software development education to underprivileged kids in some way that eventually scales and has real career potential. There is part of me that feels this has potential, because the opportunity for self-development is so high, and the cash costs of the tools low. There is part of me that worries it is futile, because I suspect software development jobs actually require more deep and diverse basic knowledge of math and reading than I could hope for in underprivileged environments.

Really? multiplexing file descriptors IS the specific use case of select.

It would be more like "My bike is broken, when I try to ride more than 12 blocks the wheels fall off".

Also, it's not even that select can't handle more than 1024 fds, it's that it can't handle a file descriptor above 1024 at all, so if your app opens a bunch of data files before accepting connection, the limit could be as low as 10 concurrent connections before select fails.

You can argue that this article is a case of the system working fairly well at surfacing high quality content. When I searched for "New York Pizza Recipe" this result came half way down page one.

Sure, there are other "high domain authority" listings on that page too, but this is an example of Google listing a well researched, in depth original post from a little known site on the basis of the strength of its content, even with quite minimal on page SEO.

Are you sure the risk from tornadoes is higher? It looks like the odds of sustaining an injury or being killed by a tornado are somewhat under 0.1% per year for residents of Tornado Alley, and you can greatly reduce that for yourself with some simple precautions. I would guess that the risk of a nuclear holocaust is 0.1% per year or more, and there is nothing you can do to reduce the risk of it happening to you. (There are things you can do to increase your odds of survival and improve your likely position afterwards, but you will be severely impacted no matter what.)
