In the US, obtaining right-of-way to build bike lanes in metropolitan areas is infeasible. I've sat in neighborhood meetings with my state's Department of Transportation engineers and planners discussing main artery expansions, and they explained that there isn't sufficient demand for bike paths to include them in any new planning funded by taxpayers; whenever they've tried to include dedicated bike lanes in the past, they were shot down first by politicians looking to curry the fiscal conservative votes, then by special interest groups protecting a car-based culture (housing developers, chambers of commerce, etc. all see dedicated bike lanes as yielding less traffic to their planned projects). However, obtaining right-of-way to privately build an elevated path, they conceded, while not easy, was more feasible because someone else foots the bill. The problem is no one has figured out a design that can feasibly pay off.

If you can obtain the right-of-way for an elevated path, then what would you design for it that makes it pay off at least a little above break-even?

Generally, I take this as a sign that in the US, unless you deliberately attract a demographic to a specific concentrated area that consciously chooses biking as a major transportation mode, namely, a master-planned community/town built around biking and public transit, cyclists are SOL to comprehensively expand biking for the foreseeable future in most US metro areas outside of "bike ghettos" where there is a strong cycling culture. I'd love to see as much biking for normal daily activities as we saw in mainland China before they opened up to the West, but in the US in many areas it is legitimately risky to bike (despite the actual risk of fatality on a bike gradually dropping over the past three decades).

So a related hypothetical is, if you were in a high-density (say, 30K per square mile scale density) city designed from the beginning for walk/run/bike/public-transit transportation, what kind of bike paths would you want?

The article describes intra- and inter-neighborhood scale at best, but doesn't address efforts to solve US commuter distances, which invariably involve highways. That seems an insoluble challenge at the moment in the US.

I wish CTEs ("common table expression", i.e. a "with clause") had the same performance as a subquery in PSQL. I always assumed they'd be implemented as a kind of macro that expanded to a subquery. Is there a good reason for this distinction?

For that matter, having some kind of SQL-oriented macro/preprocessor language would be fantastic. I guess GPP (General Preprocessor, https://logological.org/gpp) is always an option.

While I've never realized Nirvana through my chiropractic experiences, they have been immensely helpful in the short-term.

For example, several years ago I spent the winter on the north shore of Oahu (Hawaii) surfing. The waves are often perfect and glassy, but pack a serious punch when you fall. I took a heavy wipeout, which left me as stiff necked as I've ever been. For a few days I could barely move my head from left to right. I needed to do something, so went to a chriropractor.

The chiropractor had seen the surfer's whiplash injury many times before; after some light warmup massage work to loosen up the muscles, a quick jerking of the head, and crack!!, done. All the tension gone in an instant. Walked out a new man, was back in the water the next day.

Less extreme, as a computer worker I often find myself in strange/unhealthy positions while consumed with solving yet another problem. This leaves my back not feeling all that great. So, 3 or 4 times a year I go to a chiropractor I know (in Montreal) and get an adjustment. While there's no permanent realignment, there is most definitely a temporary one, which feels great.

I'd say it depends on the chiropractor (YMMV), and not that the profession as a whole is a hoax.
I'm on mobile so I didn't read the pdf.

But I'd say related to the itle is overly PC people highly vocal aka SJW as people say. It's the left equivalent of far right.

The other thing I think is US style politics as a Canadian it amazes me that is is so absolute you're Democrat or Republican. Most western countries have multiple political parties covering many shades politics.

People in the USA from my viewpoint seem to have become convinced they can only be one or the other. And it seems there is a huge gap between the two parties more than I can recall seeing.

The other thing is the US president is treated like a king he's just a politician. In western countries with prime ministers he can be thrown out easily and most people don't care who the person is.

Age also seems to be a big part maybe it's a Millenia/Boomer thing big groups with opposing views.

And of course there seems to be a huge lack of trust about what to believe. The tackiness most paranoid websites which years ago were called trashy tabloids are now seen as actual journalism. A person claiming to be a conspiracy theorist acts as if it is a badge of pride.

Overall I don't know lack of education, no mentors, lack of direction, lack of a moral guide.

YCombinator advises equal splits. https://blog.ycombinator.com/splitting-equity-among-founders...

I've also read a bunch of articles that suggest unequal splits, and the reasons they cite seem to boil down to the idea that the split should reflect the proportional risk taken, and not much else. There are times when founders truly take the same amount of risk, and an even split is justified under the common VC thinking.

In my limited experience pitching to VCs, as someone in an even-split startup, I believe VCs do prefer to have a primary person responsible who is in the CEO seat and has authority to make unilateral decisions. I can imagine an uneven split makes it clear when that's the case. I'm certain many of them have seen cases where even split partnerships were made more difficult and ended up being unfair largely because of the even split. I'm also sure that there are cases where it's harder for them to communicate and negotiate with multiple founders rather than one.

Those reasons don't matter if you're not taking funding, so even split in a contracting partnership (even split effort), turned profitable product startup that doesn't deal with VCs makes a lot of sense.

I've been involved in a few minor disasters in 15-25 story high rises. One was a roof fire, another was a kitchen fire halfway up, another was a catastrophic leak of water and glycol from the heating system, and the last was a thick cloud of smoke from a nearby oil-fired power plant that suddenly shutdown during the blackout in 2003. Guess what? There were catastrophic fuckups in every event (fire alarm failure, water pressure failure, firefighters sent to the wrong place, etc). But the SOP was always the same regardless of the situation -- stay in place.

At the risk of admitting to being a selfish asshole, I'll come out and say -- fuck that. I will be bugging out, and I'll tell anyone I know to do the same. I'd rather die trying to get out than getting trapped like the poor souls in this building or WTC.
Yes it does. Assuming a constant positive reproduction rate (i.e. N children per woman with N > 2.3), the population will grow exponentially, i.e. the population growth function is O(e^t).

If you solve this with space travel, i.e. by colonizing habitable planets within our reach, then you will be limited by the speed of light (i.e., how fast people can reach new planets to colonize). Given a time t, the radius of that available region is O(t), and therefore its volume is O(t^3).

As you see, O(t^3) is much smaller growth than O(e^t). (In fact, there's a theorem in analysis that for any exponential function, there exists no polynomial function that it won't eventually outgrow.)

So, if population growth is the problem, you can buy yourself a few more years by colonizing other planets, but the same problem ultimately re-emerges.

Frankly, I disagree that 4chan's decline had anything to do with politics. Rather, it was caused by the internet's uncanny ability to turn any discussion into meaningless shitposting. All the /pol/ vs /anyoneelse/ shit-flinging is just a fight between native and cross-board shitposters, and not different from those of yore (back when it was /b/ and /v/ flinging shit).

Norwegian is at the better end of the low fare airlines. They don't use shady UI patterns (or ads!) on their website. They don't walk around the aisle selling lottery tickets. And they don't land on third tier airports with ridiculous transfer times to cities. Basically they work like a full service airline, but of course they only work from A to B and don't offer the fancy guarantees you need with more complicated bookings.

I regularly fly Norwegian but wouldn't fly Ryan again if my life depended on it.
I hope its easy to see that the rise of this "cancer" and the alt-right was a natural response to the rise of the extreme left throughout popular media and in society in general.

There is nothing wrong with moderate conservatism, but when one must keep their conservative views in the closet, and anything conservative (on Reddit, Twitter, or simply at work) is seen as an inferior view point rather than just a different view point, then you will see extreme conservatism concentrated somewhere (in this case, 4chan).

There were 4 of them out that night. And the driver closed for the day to hang with them.

After he dropped them, they realized the devices were still in the car, and immediately tried to reach him. And he never picked up.

Well, he never pursued the issue further and left it at that.

I've had some rather good experiences e.g. where the driver called me, and brought back the stuff to me after he was done at the end of the day and refused to take any money as a reward.

I guess it all depends on the person.

And if you're in the US and you deny the holocaust it doesn't matter what language you use to do so, when you travel to a country where it's illegal to deny the holocaust you're going to find it tricky. (For varying degrees of tricky including "nothing at all happens; noone knows or cares".)

Author of another CSS regression testing tool here which doesn't depend on your full web app being up and running (which is the default for WebDriver and friends).
I'd be seriously interested in feedback from people who have run a CSS regression test suite against a deployed web app, and especially how maintainable their testing setup was a year in and how much defects it found in that process.
My personal experience with WebDriver for acceptance tests have made me approach such things very carefully. I am very conservative in how much I want to leverage a full stack setup.

Physiotherapists are like programmers—there are good ones and there are bad ones. I've met better chiropractors than physiotherapists because they are actually passionate about solving the problem of pain. Because of this interest, the chiropractors become incredibly interested in the only real, long-term solution to back pain short of a broken bone: consistent, smart, exercise specific to the areas in which you experience pain along with a whole body prime. Their practice is the basis for spinal manipulation and a quick massage. The only real solution for you as a patient get off your back and exercise and find the smart people regardless of what it is they are trained in. Smartness beats education anyway.
It's critical to have a good understanding of SQL, but once you do, ORMs with a functional syntax solve this problem for many of us. I know it's not possible for some people to use ORMs as they can't risk the ORM making a performance mistake, but I think the solution is to improve ORMs to the point that writing raw SQL is akin to writing assembly instead of using a higher level language.

That said, we're not there yet. Using an ORM in 2017 without understanding what SQL you want it to produce IS NOT OKAY. Please learn SQL if you're going to use an ORM, and understand the SQL you are producing with the ORM.

Summed up, if you can, use an ORM to solve this problem.

The contrarian aspect of 4chan is important, but I think theres more to it than that. Contrarianism on 4chan during the Bush years wasn't nearly as violent and widespread as it's been lately, and I think it goes back to gamergate, which was the first time a lot of 4chan users experienced politics having an effect on something central to their culture. The only groups speaking out against "SJW culture" happened to be far right wing groups, so they listened and adopted the rest of the platform. There was also always an undercurrent of racism (spamming the n word goes back to the early days of /b/) and the alt right gave these people a community, and talking points for a bunch of other issues.
To add to this, this is very much related to their schedule of keeping the aircraft in the air 3 hours per day more than other airlines.

At what expense of high paying, quality, American jobs?

A huge cost advantage that NAI enjoys on many of their international flights is through a flag-of-convenience scheme. NAI is a Norwegian majority owned company but has established their base of operations for international flying in Ireland. Through this arrangement they are able to hire pilots and cabin crews under contracts and work rules of southeast Asia where wages are low and work rules are less restrictive. You might imagine how cutting costs in that regard might have an impact on quality of service and more importantly SAFETY.

If this precedent is allowed there is no doubt the major American airlines will do the same in the interest of remaining competitive but shockingly airlines in the US have actually resisted this in the interest of the jobs of American people. I can't speak to each airline individually but for example Delta Air Lines directly employs 80,000 people in addition to 10s of thousands of contractors. Multiply that by 3 or 4 and you're looking at a ton of well paying American jobs. Not to mention when is the last time you remember a fatality on a major US airline?

I think the flag-of-convenience scheme leads us down a slippery slope where getting the lowest bidding pilot cadets trumps safety.

Thanks for the clarification and it's good to hear you are speaking from experience with the kind of model being discussed (although I'd still like to know what that "simpler model" is exactly, or where it comes from anyway; but that's probably not for you -or even Google- to answer, since it's mentioned in the original article in the first place).

That said, I don't agree with you, in that I didn't read the article as saying that Big Data is BS by default. It's a short article and not terribly thorough but I didn't read a blanket condemnation in it.

It depends on your business and app functionality. As we've written here [1], have a look at what Privacy Policies usually need to disclose:

- What kind of personal information you collect from users

- How do you use that personal information

- If you share this information with third parties

- If third parties can collect personal information through your app

- How can users access and change the personal information you collected

For example, if you're about to display ads through Google AdMob in your iOS app, then read AdMob Behavioral Policies [2]. At the "Personalized advertising" section, Google makes it clear that it may show interest-based ad to the users of your app and that any apps using AdMob must update their Privacy Policies to reflect this:

> Additionally, your app's privacy policy may need to be updated to reflect the use of personalized advertising (formerly known as interest-based advertising) served via the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
