As a cyclist, this is... ok. Not great. Similar information to what e.g. the city of Seattle publishes itself: http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/bikemaps.htm ("download the map").

Part of the trouble is that street markings do not reflect car traffic or other special circumstances. In NW Seattle, for example, Fremont Ave (Blue or "least safe") is one of the best north/south corridors, because car traffic is light and supposedly has to turn at every major cross street. Bikes ride in the lane of traffic, reducing unsafe passing.

In comparison, Greenwood Ave (rated Orange, or "ok") has much higher car traffic and the painted bike lane runs in a door zone.

Anyway, Seattle doesn't really have any "green" bike infrastructure. If it did, this kind of map might be a lot more useful. In Seattle, I have to choose between "blue" or "orange." My highest priorities for bike safe routes include low car traffic and no door-zone bike lanes, and the separate painted lane is less important.

It seems that a lot of the time, painted lanes are added to the busiest streets. Especially on the eastside, I wouldn't suggest riding on any of the marked routes on Mapzen.

some suggestions: build a side project and post it to github. volunteer for some folks. try and land a freelance project or 2, even if its under market rate. build a portfolio from this stuff. start a blog and post about what you're learning. get some inspiration at simpleprogrammer.com

I actually think the openness is very important as well. Many companies(/C levels/managers/employees/clients/etc) are still stuck in the "heads must roll" mindset, where a mistake is punished rather than used as a learning experience for the employee and for the company.

I think at the very least it'll turn the heads of a few employees that are living in fear of being fired for a typo by showing them there are still decent employers left in the field.
£19 for a probably bug-ridden, no documentation or tutorials game, where I am largely acting as a bug-finder for the game seems excessively expensive.
I'm really surprised all the typography options require downloadable fonts (Source Sans Pro and/or Merriweather).

I'm on a 1mbit throttled connection right now, and it's really noticeable, even on these pages, the font loading takes a while and suddenly the whole page jumps around and re-renders.

Though apart from that It's a great guideline.

Really glad they put so many color choices in there and taking care of showing how to combine typography with color. Many guidelines I've seen have two accent colors and when you come to implementing the site, you straight away must deviate from the guideline and invent new things.

get a job doing anything computers at a place that will take you, work there for a bit to gain exp, now you have it.

write some software/design a network/etc.. whatever you want to do as a job, send that with your resume.

go to some places where people are doing what you want to do for fun, like Longmont has the Tinkermill, Boulder has tech meetups, you can meet people there who are starting companies and see if you can help out, that experience can get you a job quickly if you're a fast learner.

experience is easy to gain, quality experience is harder to come by, but once you know what to look for in the companies/people you're working with, you'll get that as well.
Would be nice to see JSX syntax become standardized. Clearly lots of people like it.
To be honest, we haven't considered it yet. We probably will eventually, but for right now -- releasing patches almost daily, and planning to release content/feature continuously for the next year or two -- staying on one ecosystem is just a lot easier.

It may change in the future (probably not) but we don't have any/special DRM right now -- we just deploy our vanilla EXE/.App game executable.
Confirmation bias does not exclude being correct. I have the same experience with a family member having gluten intolerance. We have experimented with diet. On gluten. Off gluten. Eating what is thought to be gluten free and having the usual reaction. And then finding out it wasnt. Having symptoms dissapear after a while of gluten etc. etc.

There might be confirmation bias, and it might be an n=1 test, but it is also 100% repeatable.

And it might not be the gluten, but proteins that are in the same foods as gluten. So when you stop with gluten you also stop with the other proteins. But that is really irellevant when you got the sensitivity.

A comment on the document's design: The low contrast of light gray text on yellow background makes it difficult to read. Black text on white, or dark gray text on white is perfectly acceptable.

Another drawback of colored backgrounds is that readers wanting to print out the pdf will consume ink/toner to render the non-white background.

> If their upstreams have had intermittent problems before

Sorry, this might not have been clear. We had never had major issues with any of our upstream providers before -- beyond scheduled maintenances there had never been a service interruption over a number of years.

There's almost always the risk of coordinated failure, no matter how many levels of redundancy you put into place. The cost gap between 99.99% and 100% is humongous for this reason.

From these failures, we learned some valuable lessons. One of our transit providers was acquired a year or so back, and it's apparent that things have dramatically changed in how they operate their service and respond to issues. We won't be continuing the customer relationship there for much longer unless we see positive steps taken. Another transit provider has been much more responsive and the conversations have been more productive -- we can work through the issue we observed and get back to a positive situation there (I think).

And then finally, we need more diversity. We turned up another circuit yesterday, and I'm still working on adding another 1-2 providers in addition to more peering or direct connect situations. These take a bit of time, but it's work we need to do before we actually require it, because by then it's too late. We're working as quickly as possible to get this part of our infrastructure on rock solid footing.

> capacity planning is one of those strategic decisions that gets bland on the engineering team

Absolutely. We were doing capacity planning, but it wasn't anyone's idea of a good time.

We are correcting this with the resources we have today, and we're going to do a better job in the short term. In the long term, this is a non-negotiable core aspect of someone's job -- either already on the team, or a new role that we create. It can't be a secondary, rainy day kind of task you take on time permitting and it also can't be a task that we're not well equipped to handle on a regular basis.
> Is it?

Yes. The company is piggybacking on the millions of dollars and man-hours that went into past government research on space exploration.

Most interestingly, several countries with the Queen as their Head of State have expressed a willingness to become Republics after Elizabeth passes. The most likely candidate being Australia. Her death is likely to cause the further deterioration of the British Empire, or whatever remains of it.

> The Chess AI that turns into AGI isn't realistic - it's values are "be the best at chess" which it can do with existing computing power.

The AGI has whatever values we give it. Existing chess AIs don't seek to maximize their ability to play chess, they seek merely to win the particular game of chess they're playing.

But suppose we build a chess-playing AGI and tell it to "be the best at chess". It must anticipate that we might build a second, superior, chess-playing AGI and give it the same goal. One way to be the best at chess would be to prevent that second AGI being built. One way to prevent that second AGI being built would be to destroy humanity's capability to build AGIs. That probably counts as a loss for humanity.

Suppose the second AGI gets built despite the first's efforts. Now both AGIs have an incentive to destroy both the other, and the possibility of a third. At any particular time, one or both of the AGIs won't be the best at chess, so they'll also have an incentive to get better at chess by actually improving their chess-playing capability. This will involve converting the Earth into processing power for it to use. That probably counts as a loss for humanity.

Also, Delaware companies' shareholders automatically get inspection rights. That could allow a savvy shareholder to, by monitoring revenue changes, guess sensitive information.

I used these blue bikes for a couple months and eventually gave up because the stations in SoMa were invariably full. I'd have to wander around with a heavy bike looking for somewhere to park it and it made my commute unreliable. This was 2014, so maybe it's improved.
Like everything to do with housing in CA, this idea is ruined by Prop 13. If San Francisco's property tax collections had been allowed to rise with property taxes, their tax revenue would naturally rise as land values rose and they would be able to afford land no matter how high the land values got. However Prop 13 stops their tax revenue from rising as fast as land values so land becomes increasingly unaffordable to them as land values rise.
> I don't think one Chinese company is "the Chinese"...

There is no way an acquisition at this level is made from China without party approval. You can't more more than $50K out of China without a very specific permit.

Jupyter notebooks are probably what you are looking for. I highly recommend them. Embedded REPL makes iteration very fast and results can be shared directly through a URL, exported to various formats or shared in websites that support it such as github.
If you have Firefox for Android you can tap "request desktop site" if you really wanted to see the site on your phone. If you have an iPhone, I guess you're out of luck.

I just checked and while it loads on iPad, the top row of round buttons for animation category don't respond to touch.

Back to the analogy... it's more than a "demo drone video". It's an interactive drone experience where you select altitude and other settings and see the drone in virtual flight, then copy those settings to your own controller. Sounds like a task for a computer, not a phone.
> When you have an incident, especially something that hurts your customers Beyond just a service outage, you come clean, fast, and as completely transparent as possible.

Isn't that precisely what they are doing here? This looks to me like a case of a company doing an excellent job of clearly communicating about an incident, at least from the point where the post was first published.

> why not use elastic infrastructure?

This would have been beneficial (to a certain extent) to solve the over-capacity issue that we faced, but it wouldn't actually be of that much help in an under-capacity scenario. None of our machines are ever idle -- it's simply a matter of how long the work queue gets.

> The ratio of "optimizing image" to "serving optimized copy" must be insane

Yeah, but the serving an already rendered image doesn't traverse our image rendering stack, as you might imagine. That content is cached at the CDN edge (or failing that, within our rendered output cache). We don't re-do work when we don't have to, that's an inherent part of how we keep the cost of operations right and provide our customers with a service of this complexity at this price point.

We've been advising those who have expressed a similar sentiment that, if you're unsure, then just wait a bit.

If you think you'll be unhappy with it in it's current state, then you probably will be; unless you're really into tycoon games or aviation. If you're hesitant then yes, we'd suggest it best to wait a few weeks or months. Even if it means paying a slightly higher price later, you'll probably be happier with a more complete & bug free game for the slightly higher price at that point in time.

So these are the web design standards the government abides by?
I think the "inherent quality of [democratic] Governments" is this:

If a government does something that causes short term pain with much bigger long term gains, it will tend to get voted out of office long before it gets to the "gains" part. The incentives for elected officials is to focus on winning the next election, or perish.

Private organizations also have short term pressures, but they're not nearly as short term and drastic. Board members and stock analysts will actually do serious in depth analysis of the long term prospects. The median voter does not.

I think you're the only consistent identity that I recognize, because you post this a lot :)

I always have some concerns when I see it:

- Obviously controversial (but not clearly trolling) posts like thr3290's can't be made without potentially endangering the poster (we've seen people fired for public or semi-public remarks e.g. "donglegate"). I feel that this would have a chilling effect on voices that go against the common sentiment on HN.

I for one would not be comfortable using my account to make a comment like that one, which means that with your rules, my opinion would be suppressed (hypothetically speaking - I don't agree wth thr3290).

- "We ban those" isn't corroborated by any clear HN code of conduct. I (perhaps incorrectly) recall reading one at some point, but I'm currently hard-pressed to find it.

- It's not obvious to people who don't know you that you're a moderator. Your account doesn't have any clear demarcation, and you don't mention it in your profile.

I used to use a Hackintosh. It was a time-consuming thing, I feared OS updates, and I could never be sure about the reliability (you can get really weird problems sometimes. I then switched over to a Mac Pro (cheese grater) and was very happy with it. Unfortunately, since the trash can Mac Pro I'm left out in the cold, so I'm considering running a Hackintosh again...

Unfortunately, the information is still very fragmented and it takes a lot of time and effort to get one running. Actually building the thing is the easiest part, it's the booting, installation and OS patches/fixes that eat up time.

They could be very creative online, or learning, producing, and contributing to all sorts of projects, from open source programming, bug fixing, or documenting to contributing to projects like Wikipedia to creating art or music, and so on. They could have many friends online, or perhaps the focus of a scholar. They could even be helping others on all sorts of online forums.

They could, but they don't. To be blunt, you seem to be romanticizing the hikikomori phenomenon and know nothing about the reality of it.

They are most certainly not doing anything meaningful or constructive and they, themselves, are unhappily aware of it. It is an _illness_, for pity's sake.
