Air pollution from coal power generation and internal combustion engine automobile driving (diesel being the worst by far) causes strokes, heart attacks, asthma, lung cancer, etc. It shortens peoples lives, makes them worse from a health standpoint and causes many deaths every year.

Imagine just the healthcare cost savings and the productivity gains alone from using cleaner power generation.

Phasing out coal power is a no brainer because there are plenty of alternatives to use, and renewable energies like solar will make our grid more resilient by making power generation more diffuse.

Electrifying cars is a longer-term issue. But if you can electrify cars, you can power them from cleaner sources. Even if you don't power them with cleaner sources, you'd still get less localized particulate pollution.

Whether or not you care about global warming or the planet itself, you'd get big benefits personally for your health and your family's health if we had cleaner power generation.
> What was the faulty product in this case? Struts? Why is Equifax liable?

Struts had provided a remedy for the fault, months prior. Equifax had _failed_ to implement that remedy, because it was 'difficult', 'complex' (due to its own application / deployment / infrastructure), for several months, on a highly sensitive service.
Yeah, but that still doesn't show all the supposedly millions of results. Last time I checked it was capped at a few hundred (not this specific query).
> Bikes make everything about traffic better, and most bikers observe the traffic laws.

In California, bikes seemed alright enough. Lane splitting is legal, most use bike lanes, etc.

That being said, bikes are supposed to act like a vehicle on the road. I.e. stop at stop signs, and go through the stop signs one at a time. Not once have I ever seen this happen. There's also stopping at lights, which happens usually, but typically they then try to act like pedestrians...

Now outside of California, lane splitting is very rarely legal, especially in the Midwest, South, and East. Which means a bike literally has to act 100% like a car, or motorcycle. They can't ride next to a car or pass a car (or line of cars), without moving to another lane. The only exception, is typically if there is a bike lane.

So no, most bikes don't follow the laws. The "minority" of poeple who make "wild claims" are the people who have to drive next to them.

For the record, I've had 5 bikers hit my car (one got a ticket), at least 2 bikers try to squize by and scratch my car, and 1 idiot try to pass me on the right while I made a right turn. That person got pissed, but cop agreed I was in the right. I've lived in Alameda and drove to SF and Oakland regularly, but half of this happened in Champaign IL (on a college campus, where the bikers don't know how to ride or the laws).

In regards to pedestrians, twice I've been hit by a bike where both of us fell down and we were at least shaken. My wife, while in college, was straight up laid out when crossing the street once. The biker needed to be hospitalized, and she was injured (urgent care worked).

Point being, i don't think my opinion are wild. Bikers need education, and currently, riding a bike (especially inappropriately) in many places is dangerous for everyone. I agree that bikes can be more effective. However, in practice I think people should get a biking license. Just a 2 hour class, and a simple test. Know the rules, before you kill yourself or hurt others.

WebExtensions started with Chrome API compatibility as a base, so you may be able to just download the Chrome version's .crx file, unpack it, and run it in Firefox, perhaps with some minor tweaks.

Sure. I wasn't trying to make it sound like a conspiracy. Just that the constraints of running it only on the Google cloud invalidate some typical use cases. For many companies, you would have to migrate quite a high percentage of your business data out there to avoid huge amounts of egress charges. Spanner also doesn't support INSERT, UPDATE, etc, which may also be limiting.

The internet archive is a good resource. I had a professor that researched web archiving. Basically the internet is dynamic and constantly changing. Sites come and go. The same is true for news articles.

The example he used was hurricane Katrina. There was a flood of stories unfolding during the event. But most of them have been removed and consolidated general information article. The resolution of the event is lost.

I love biking and I'm a cyclist myself. But I once lived in a small mountain town where it seemed like a big percentage of the cyclists there had an attitude of entitlement about how they cycled. I've never had so many unsafe encounters with bikes, and at slow speeds too (speed limit was 25mph). I think the point I'm trying to make is that there are probably cultural differences between locations and the people who hate bikers have probably had some awful encounters in the past.

I still love cycling and I think it's the best way to get around. It sucks because my city is extremely bike-unfriendly and I don't feel safe biking here.

Crappy humans are crappy, no matter the mode of transport they use.

Scum comes along when there is room for ‘great margin’. That almost always comes when there is monopoly or deception. The subprime mortgage crisis happened when there was deception of investors about the quality of mortgage-backed securities. An effect of that was that companies that had no exposure to loan quality perversely had an incentive to originate large volumes of low quality loans. Mortgage brokers earn points on transactions, so a typical commission would be say 60 basis points on the loan amount. A $100k loan earns the broker $600. Typically this was paid to the broker and shared with any loan officer and processor employees(yes gatekeepers were paid commission!). Prime loans, home purchase loans, typically had similar yield spread premiums. Subprime loans were marketed so aggressively because their points ranged from 120-450, with the highest rates coming from Option ARMs. The same broker on the same $100k loan made $4500 vs $600. The rest is history.

Margin. If there’s enough of it, there’s room for free beer, more of it, call centers and big ad campaigns, more of it, Vegas parties and dark money. It doesn’t matter where the margin comes from, the result is always the same.

This hysteria reminds me of the Nickel mines in Northern Ontario. For decades, they dumped high-sulfur compounds up the smokestacks. The surrounding area had millions of trees die or get stunted, and the rocks etched black from decades of sulfuric acid.

After much kicking and screaming, they were forced to put precipitators on the stacks to remove the sulfuric acid.

Which they then sold for more money than it cost to add the precipitators.

Oops.

These people pollute and lie about even when they would make more money by not polluting.
I was under the impression the opposite was true. There several ride-sharing services in Austin for a while but their service and quality were abysmal, pickup times were long, and they all collapsed as soon as Uber and Lyft returned.
Sorry I didn't mean Sandboxing used Rust, It was a separate thing (That Rust is less susceptible to such class of errors, so the more code written in Rust the better)
Also didn't mean it has no sandboxing (I knew about efforts), my point was its security is not a match for Chrome yet, as seen from the amount and type of critical errors.

When it is there I would definitely use it along with Chrome.

Can you cite your source for these claims?
On a National Police: Making one would require a large restructuring of our government, likely a constitutional convention. The reason is that guys like the FBI and ATF can only go after federal crimes which are de facto felonies and not misdemeanors (I may be totally wrong there, so please correct me). As such, the large majority of crimes are then under the states, as they do the day to day crime stuff, things like fraud, jay-walking, etc. Again, this is the US, so things are very convoluted and I may be wrong. To get a National Police, you'd have to give those rights to the Feds and not just the States, a very messy business that may result in successions. In addition, there are 300+ million Americans, so trying to impose 'law' on a Federal level and not in a State-resolution level would be crazy, as what works in Maine and what should be legal there is not something that may work in Arizona or Hawaii.

The advantage I see with Jupyter is that at least there's a path from the notebook to a proper programming language. Excel macros live in Excel and are tied to the sheets in a particular workbook. Pandas / Matplotlib / Jupyter lets you turn your exploratory analysis history into a script that runs outside of Jupyter. That's a huge advantage -- schedule it to run at 5am for your 6am meeting, and you can come in to work half an hour later! Excel macros can do this, but because they rely on the interaction between formula evaluation and procedural code, it's such a headache in comparison that it's much less likely to be worth it. Overwrite the wrong cell and the whole thing falls apart. I'll take the Python world any day.
A lot of tech companies pride themselves in having a bunch of engineers on staff, so they have to stay relevant by adding bloatware and redesigning every 15 months.

I tried the ride sharing alternatives in Austin at SXSW this year and it was back to the bad old days of unreliable transport. For instance, the taxi that was supposed to pick me up arrived in 40 minutes and also picked up someone else so I had to request another one.
The argument is, according to the OP, that the entity responsible for designing/administering/maintaining software services/software/IT systems is liable. But it seems like they would like to punish the employer, and not the employees.
Isn't being more expensive part of the problem? I think one of the main things that is "better" about Uber is how comparatively cheap it is. I know a couple of people who make enough money not to really care what they spend day-to-day, but I suspect that for most people that few dollars per fare is the difference between viable and unacceptable.
The fact that the ruling goes out of its way to explain the meaning of the phrase "defendant [...] has a regular and established place of business" by explaining that "regular" and "established" are adjectives which modify the noun "place", and that defendant is a word which here means "defendant" is very sarcastic language. The reasoning isn't elaborate, it's just saying "if you don't know how to interpret this phrase, let me say it again slower for you".
I've always used Austin Rideshare and haven't had a problem. That being said, one anecdote isn't enough.

That's not a solution - most states' licensing agencies are underfunded and ill equipped to fully vet these organizations. Many of these shady organizations have licenses.

If you think removing restrictions for commercial drivers is sensible, that's something to pursue at the policy level. Making exceptions is exactly the wrong thing to do - you want a level playing field.

As far as "why", commercial drivers are held to different standards for a number of reasons. I'm pretty sure you can think of some if you try.

>> if I had to rate drivers vs cyclists in a "most likely to have a collision with as a pedestrian" I would easily go with the cyclist.

I'd weight it by, well, mass and associated likelihood of actual harm, personally.

I'm a fairly keen (but casual) cyclist. I wouldn't cyclce in London by preference, and I have seen some terrible behaviour by cyclists in London.

One day at 9am in the City, I saw a cyclist swearing loudly at everyone and pushing through the crush as people tried to cross Liverpool Street, at a pedestrian crossing, when the lights were red for traffic.

Total arsehole. I thought to myself "this is why people think cyclists are all bastards, people like you".

They do refuse to pay for experimental treatments or ineffective treatments. The question is why not in the case of shady addiction centers.. my guess is that Florida has/had some language regulating the payers effectively tying their hands. Mental health / substance abuse got a big push from the ACA as well which likely enabled things as well. <conjecture> Also a lot of these early adopters may have likely first started out as court ordered so they were already established for this type of "acute" care and just scaled up when the demand developed. </conjecture>
> As a cyclist, I'm in a very good position to assess how empty an intersection is: no windows isolating me in a sound bubble; low speed

Also: your head is closer to the front of your vehicle and thus to the intersection.

You can assess the situation long before any part of you or your bicycle enters the intersection.
Is it some kind of LGA1151v2? They are really not communicating this very well.

This is the correct answer.

One of my safety heuristics is "clear the intersection". Sometimes that means jump the light, or follow a car thru a 4-way, or full stop (foot on ground) to clearly signal I'm waiting my turn.
There should be no avenue for single points of failure to result in catastrophic data breach. Neither architecture nor procedures should allow a single person to compromise the system, willingly or accidentally.

So the government caught this guy in a Sting. What would even motivate such an operation? I have heard of Traps being laid out for potential pedophiles, drug addicts etc. Buy why would they go after this kind of criminal preemptively?
Yes, that was Turing's proof. Church's more indirect proof is that it's impossible to prove the equivalence of two lambda expressions. But the real essence of the problem is more like, you can't generally know ahead of time all the values that will be presented inside loop bodies. If you try to actually elaborate the loop then you get caught again: if the elaboration of the loop keeps going on for a while, the problem is re-presented, at what point do you give up? Which is to say, will this program, with these inputs, run forever? But this is basically Church's proof, since this is also the question, am I in exactly the same configuration as before? Without an ability to decide lambda expression equivalence, that question is also hopeless.

Hence the work that gets done in this area constrains the problem down to situations in which you can know enough to decide halting, like traversal of lists or trees that are known to be finite. I bring this up because, when it comes to AI, people want more than this.
The whole problem is that CEO pay is not correlated to performance, and performance metrics can be gamed if they are not long-term.
> Aren't we opening up a can of worms by praising the idea of creating needless regulations to keep the status quo simply because it's perceived to be more local?

Yes, potentially. It would be disingenuous to ignore that possibility, but regulation that favors local competitors does seem to have worked out well for China. If they hadn't actively pushed for home grown alternatives to the SV-based behemoths their tech sector might quite conceivably not be where it is today.

I'd be interested in hearing of counter-cases, preferably specific to tech. As it stands, my operating hunch is that some level of protectionism is beneficial - but I'm far from an expert on the subject.
