What's also missing from the heroin analogy is that heroin itself is becoming safer as its use becomes widespread. It's made to a higher quality, with more standardized production processes, people know how to measure strength better, and the average person becomes more likely to know a good source for safe heroin that isn't cut with dangerous drugs like fentanyl.

Take it to the logical extreme, imagining legalization of heroin and subsequent widespread use and sale in convenience stores, and it'd be way safer, because you'd always be getting a standardized product.
If I live in California though, my understanding is that I must have a California LLC. Is that not true?

Basically either way if I have a California LLC or Delaware LLC, I'll still be required to pay California income

You mean less dangerous. To me, San Diego and Ft. Worth are average areas. In these places bicycles are relatively rare compared to cars. I am always surprised when I see them.

Cars weigh thousands of pounds. Consider the safety precautions for cars with air bags, crumple zones, and crash testing. There is no protection from cars for someone on a bicycle.

They try to say riding on the sidewalk with a bike is more dangerous because cars do not look out for bicycles at driveways and such.

But personally in most areas I don't feel safe biking on the street, and would rather stay on the sidewalk like I did when I was a kid. I would just have to pause to check before crossing driveways and intersections.

I believe that there will eventually be something like a smart safe city where 2000+ pounds vehicles do not freely mix with pedestrians, cyclists, and baby strollers. There should be physical barriers or totally separate walkways.

Think about it. They can't even sell a car without an airbag anymore. Yet what chance do you have from a physics standpoint to be truly safe when the other vehicle exceeds your mass by 2000+ pounds?
So are you when you get get the EIN, you would have to disclose your SSN. Anyway around that?

I was introduced to the Amiga 2000 back in high school. That's where I have always started my search but the 500 might not be a bad re-introduction.
If time were a different thing somewhere else, then physics in that somewhere else would very different, and our local concept of spatial size and even mass would not be applicable. So you still wouldn't have a life form "the size" of Galaxy.

But you would still have something just as remarkable.

When I was growing up, biking was mostly for teenagers under 16. After that kids graduated to cars. I was an outlier biking into my twenties, eventually commuting to work meant having to drive 20 mins or taking a bus over an hour.

Weekend warrior lycra cyclists, I think, cleared the path for regular cyclists. It kind of normalized adults on a bike on roads.
Actually they say that horizontal movement is critical. Because in the morning when all elevators go up, they need another shaft to return them down and make a loop.
That's the opposite of an evolutionary argument. Evolution is not teleological, it doesn't arise to meet a need.

It's a kind of feedback loop in low-entropy systems that given enough time can produce interesting phenomena, including this message board.

First, it's going to be an approximation and would take decades to carry out, as we humans are slow and no GPU/cloud would accelerate us :-( Second, the idea I had on mind was to use ML to figure out which signals/features ire the most important ones; just dump all raw data onto it and expect it would figure it out. Kinda like what you see from PCA which gives you base vectors guaranteeing some correlation properties, or CNNs where you expects neural network to come up with convolutions it needs on its own.

With maintenance costs I'd probably record as much data as I can and then try to find in a given case what kinds of signals were present. If I see some are repeating and are beneficiary or not, I can have some classifier from them. Also, it could unearth parasitistic relations when certain group of individuals flourishes only because they take advantage of certain individuals with different ethics, but never thrive in other kinds of environments.

Everybody will give their own advice, but from my experience there are two aspect of it: (1) management in general, (2) issues related specifically to managing a team developing software. As for (1), I personally recommend the Theory of Constraints. To simplify: you identify weak points and fix them. There are several more modern management theories, but this one is particularly efficient and simple enough to apply as a part of your daily routine. As for (2), I'd recommend being open minded, but at the same time following common sense, especially if everybody is convincing you that you should follow some modern trend.
> ...it's the only way...

How can this be true? "Only" is a strong word. And there are functioning judicial systems elsewhere that have different evidentiary rules.

I agree that there should be external incentives to obey rules and procedures, but there have to be other incentives out there. Why can't sanctions against individuals and organizations work just as well, for instance?

The exclusionary principle is remarkably indirect, if incentives for law enforcement officials is the primary reason for the principle.

You are assuming that the only/deciding factor is the behavior of the cyclists.

For heroin, this is probably true, for cycling not so much.
Maybe read "The Manager's Path" by Camille Fournier[0]. It focuses a lot on the transition from being an engineer to going into management.

A lot of 2018 models are petrol here too, but it was barely even an option on the models from recent years. I'm only looking at full size wagons (5-series, A6, V70, Passat, etc), only 2015-2017 and only in Sweden. It's seriously about 99% diesel.

Honestly I think the smartest thing you can do as a company when it comes to weed is.. nothing. It's just not the employers business what people do in their free time. There's no upside to getting involved with that kind of issue. If you have an employee showing up high or something that's an issue with their professionalism.

You actually answered the complicated part yourself - you see no future in your current job and you do want to do something else. Now is the simple part - go out and do it.

Also, you have to realize that an age of 30 nowadays, it's more like 20 some time ago. You will most probably live something like 80 years, so you still have around 50 to go !
I'd highly recommend reading Radical Candor by Kim Scott. Incredible book. Really focuses on practical ways to be a great manager. I'm not in management at the moment, but I plan to re-read carefully and apply almost all of it when I am!
Having read the book about this scandal ("Faster, Higher, Farther: The Volkswagen Scandal"), I'm going to predict that this is nonsense. The company is still run by insiders, and nothing has really changed. Also it will be either bankrupted or near bankrupted by the scandal in the end and won't be in any position to research new technologies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-deck_elevator is like that, but right on top of each other so the range isn't reduced.

What point are you trying to make? Obviously cars have safety features for people inside them. Are you arguing for safety features on cars for the people outside of cars, or safety features on bikes to combat cars?

All I read from your post is that cars are big and heavy, which would hurt unprotected people. In some cities people bike less. Ft worth is way too hot to bike, and definitely not average for bike culture.
Without legal representation, I can see there being some debate about whether the UK has stronger protections for the accused than the US. But with representation, it seems there's no question: the things the UK police aren't allowed to do are things that lawyers handle in the US anyways, and not having a right to remain silent is an enormous problem for the accused with or without a lawyer.

There are further differences. For instance:

* Like most of Europe, the UK doesn't have an exclusionary rule for illegitimately obtained evidence. Unauthorized searches can produce evidence admissible in court.

* Defendants in the UK don't have the same right to avoid self-incrimination that US defendants do.

* Evidence obtained through entrapment can be admissible in UK courts.

* There's precedent in the UK for secret criminal trials (the US has "secret courts", but those courts have no powers to hear criminal cases).

* The UK accused can be held for up to 28 days without charge.

* Terror suspects in the UK can be placed on what is effectively house arrest indefinitely, without criminal charges.

1. It's illegal

2. It undermines the credibility of one of the largest bitcoin exchanges and thus the currency itself.

3. It undermines claims of Bitcoin value which are based on prices set on this exchange.

4. He's claiming that Bitfinex are engaging in legally dubious schemes to appear solvent, which is important.

If you use any cryptocurrency like this you should be very worried about reports that it can so easily be gamed and the market manipulated with no consequences, and that larger players in the 'market' are dishonest and failing to regulate manipulation. For every obvious and crass attempt like this there will be a lot more insidious market manipulation by big players like exchanges or large exchange customers who operate with no oversight and can set the price and profit from it.
when you are a cyclist, you would drive cars much less fast since you're already visualizing how faster you're than a bike, and you have much more attention and respect to bikes of course

Which should have priority to cars!
Which you might as well, if you're comparing UK law to that of the US, because the UK doesn't have an exclusionary rule for evidence obtained illegally.
Which is why there is little to nothing money to be made with desktop related software, with FOSS development model.

I'm really not. Read what I actually wrote instead of projecting onto it.
Also, as cycling gets more common, cities invest more in cycling infrastructure. There's nothing especially surprising here--it's consistent with what has been observed in other cities, here and in Europe.
Safe to say it was also the first text editor I ever used for programming. I think Learn Python the Hard Way mentioned it (for linux users), so that's probably where I found it. My memory's a little fuzzy, but I switched to TextWrangler after that and thought it was shit by comparison. Then I was on a PC at work and used Notepad++ for years and now I'm back on a Mac using Atom, Vim and PHPStorm depending on what I'm doing, and all three of those are probably better than gedit. Still have fond memories though.

I guess it must have just been the clean simplicity of it. That was before I knew most of the keyboard shortcuts I use now, so maybe that's all it was.
Software development is all about breaking problems down iteratively. If you can't break the problem down to a scale where people understand, how can you ever break a problem down to a scale where a computer can understand?

But I do agree with you about "sprint completion pressure". With Kanban you don't have that and you don't have large day long "sprint planning sessions". You have just enough work in the "Dev ready" column to keep the pipeline going.

Of course not having the sprint planning pressure and not having a deadline to release doesn't work without a continuous delivery pipeline and some way to turn features on when ready.
Personally I blame Scrum or attempts at Scrum rather than Agile. Kanban is more flexible.

Effective Scrum just means sacrificing code quality sufficiently to make your ticket fit your sprint. /s

It's likely a human resources problem. For every competent FreeBSD or Illumos sysadmin there are 10x equally experienced with Linux. And those numbers are much worse outside of major cities. The commercial support from Ubuntu tips the scales.

I made this same decision at my last job. I ran Solaris and Illumos on our file servers and loved it, but a year before I left I ported all the pools to Ubuntu so my successor only needed to be Linux competent and ZFS trainable.

Sometimes when choosing tech it's not what's technologically superior solution nor what you personally could run well, it's what's best for your coworkers, your successor and the organization in the long term.
The ICO was the direct result of the EU Data Protection Durectives of the 80s and are replicated throughout the Union, so I’m not sure they’re the best example of the “oppressive regime” in the UK.

^This. The universe expanded faster than light, that's why we still can't see everything, so saying things like 'the communication speed is too slow to permit evolution' is just wrong, it also doesn't take into account things like time doesn't actually exist, it's just a biological construct.

The whole article is predicated upon a bunch of faulty assumptions, it's like it was written by a simple minded child.

Since proteins cannot exist in space, then, using the currently accepted definition of "life" at the basic level as the complex of processes that allow protein molecules to exist, then the answer must be 'no'.

On the other hand, it is an interesting mental exercise to also consider other reasons why such creature might be impossible. One reason could be because the time needed for such creature to grow from something much, much smaller (as it usually happens in biology) would be longer than the age of the universe.

Another one is that nerve impulses travel slower than the speed of light, and so, again, it would take forever for a signal to reach the central nervous system. One could argue that the creature can be "decentralized", i.e. look more like a large colony of smaller organisms, but then the question arises as to what makes it a single creature in the first place.

Yet another issue concerns what drives the evolution of this particular species, and, again, the time it takes.

So far, all these considerations unavoidably lead to the answer 'no'.
Obviously the for loop either transforms a list, or builds up a new list via an accumulator. That accumulator or the original list is your return value that you can imperatively pipe into other for loops.

You realize that reduce, filter and map are all higher order functions that can be implemented with for loops?
Well, clearly in a language that doesn't make a distinction between functions that have side effects and functions that don't you'll just have to pinky swear you won't put any in your functions, and maybe try to wrap the side effects the built-in functions do have (like errno in C) with your own functions.

But that's not the point; a functional style can be achieved in any language as long as it has functions.

One safety feature that cars could have for bicycles is Wide-angle rear-view mirrors[1] by default. I put one on my car when I lived in Austin to soothe my anxiety that I would kill someone and it did wonders for my situational awareness.

This made me laugh: "His power level is [3000.1]. That's 0.09999999999990905 more than 3000."
The point is that one of the main reasons that there aren't more people biking may be that people feel unsafe because of the physics and that one way to see that is to compare the standard of what is safe for people riding in cars to what is safe for people riding on bicycles.

Would you buy a car if it received less than average safety scores? But all of the cars with those below average safety scores have large metal frames, a body, and a huge amount of mass that as I said, due to the basic physics equations means that the occupants of a car will be much, much less likely to be injured or killed if there is a collision. So considering how seriously people take car safety regulations, this is a bit of a crazy double standard.
Red Hat was one of the first Linux related companies to officially state that they were moving away from consumer market and focus on enterprise customers, as there is no money to be made trying to sell FOSS software to consumers.
No one knows what they want until they see it. They may have some vague idea but without seeing at least a minimum viable product or at least a non production ready proof of concept how can they know what they want?

The other side of rapid iteration and emergent design is building a system with change in mind, not over architecting and living by the principle of YAGNI - You Ain't Gonna Need It.

It's the job of the architect who should have both the people skills and the technical skills to give the customer what they want and not what they ask for.

But as you make a building larger the number of restrooms increases linearly. A building twice the size uses twice the space for restrooms.

Say you design a 50 story building and it has one bank of elevators that all run from 1 to 50. What if you wanted to make it twice as high, and have the same elevator capacity for the top half?

You can add another identically sized bank that starts at the ground floor, skips up to 51 and then covers from there to 100.

In the top half of the building you used the same fraction of space for your elevator shafts as you'd used originally. Great! Except the elevator shafts to get there had to go through floors 2-50, and they ate up as much space there as the original elevator bank did. The building has 2x the original volume, but you're spending 3x the space on elevator shafts so you didnt double the useful floor area.

As you try to design taller and taller buildings, the increasing cost of vertical circulation gets worse and worse.
That's a really good alternate hypothesis to explain the correlation--and one I hadn't thought of.

The best way I can think to reject the risk-aversion hypothesis (without doing a RCT) would be to see a time-lag. If accident rates drop after ridership increases, that would suggest it's not risk-adverse people coming in later, whereas if ridership increases lead the rate drop, that would indicate that it's not a risk-tolerance thing.

On the other hand, ridership increase proceeding accident rate dropping might need to account for newer riders being less experienced.

I've read/read about other studies that found the same thing as this one, but I'm having trouble finding them right now. I found [0], but the methodology doesn't look like it would address the risk-aversion hypothesis.

Personally, I think we should encourage cycling even if it doesn't lower accident rates, but evidence of improved safety makes it a more rational choice for urban planners.
