Geography may not be conductive to biking everywhere. While I mostly bike around the city I live in, it's a very hilly place and even a short trip requires an amount of effort that cannot be expected of most people.

As for pedestrian traffic, my experience with medium US cities is that they are far too spread out for walking to be an option for most things. It's hard to see how this could change without Americans abandoning their beloved individual suburban homes with yards.

I think in most places public transportation is the only effective replacement for cars.
This doesn't appear to be true.

Sure, this is basically just amateur late-night fireside chatting based on stuff that has already been hashed out in much more detail by much more competent people :)

But yes, there is a sense in which they're definitely the same thing: changing the substrate would change the pattern encoded on the substrate. There's a sense in which they're different: the pattern could in principle be copied off the substrate and encoded on a different substrate. (I'm a reductionist, so in my opinion this holds for my self, as well as recordings on vinyl.) The reason I differentiate here is so that I can be more flexible when weird situations come up, like the notion of me living as an emulated human on a different computer system.
Four to five characters is probably enough for their threat model though?

The only way I can think of that somebody could steal only the first few characters of your security answer is by looking over your shoulder at a very unfortunate time. That seems unlikely, and most of the questions they use are predictable from the first few characters when answered genuinely anyway (surnames, car names, streets and towns).
Or because you posted about it on HN...
Obituary of a browser based supercomputer (CrowdProcess)
The entire point of security questions is that their answers are supposed to be things that are permanently stored in your memory, that you are physically incapable of forgetting because they are so ingrained. If you store these in a password manager, it is possible to lose them - and that is unacceptable.

These are supposed to be the very last line of defense for security, including if lose your password manager. As an exaggerated analogy, imagine that being unable to answer these questions meant your house, car, and life savings are taken from you. That is how important these answers are, except you're "only" losing one online account at a time.

Of course, it's terrible to use personal information that can be known to 3rd parties. It's also bad to reuse the same answers across multiple companies, as a compromise at one means you're at risk everywhere. The reason behind why security questions exist is a good one, but they don't offer enough security when used as intended (memorable, non-random data). The problem is there is currently no better alternative, short of requiring you to tie your legal identity to every account, and having to show up in person with photo ID to regain control of an account you've lost access to.

Anything relying on tech (like a password manager) is a bad idea for the general public. The average person does not have multiple off-site backups to guarantee that the information is physically impossible to lose.
The problem being written about is that the city itself has so little income and revenue that it can't provide certain basic services, and even can't necessarily partner with non-profits which are trying to address problems in different ways.

With a different government, tax base, and so on, Detroit as a whole may have similar problems, but the scale is different, and the larger scale likely means that there are some things Detroit can do that Highland Park cannot.

I'm not sure why you think that an article about one city, Highland Park, should have been about a different city, Detroit, that while it is close by, operates at a very different scale?
Not all Americans are obsessed with race, and plenty know some things about the UK even if they've never been. I saw "London" and "black cab" and the title was clear... I guess it is due to differing styles of reading, I tend to pattern-match before going left-to-right.

Things get really interesting when there are intersections of multilane highways. For example, an intersection of two 6-lane (3 each way) highways.

With 12 lanes of cars constantly approaching the intersection, that's a lot to keep track of to figure out who goes first.

I saw this recently with Irma in FL. Mostly each set of lanes would start moving roughly together once one person got brave enough to enter the intersection. But it's very hard to adjust to.

I even found myself sometimes just going after stopping without fully checking to see if I had the right-of-way or not.

The Taxi business used to be a local business. It used to be insular and protected from competition by cozy relationships with regulators. That’s no longer true.

Uber is on hundreds of millions of phones. It’s incredibly expensive to get your apps on phones nowadays. And saying other people can write apps that talk to the cloud is a massive oversimplification, building a system that tracks tend of thousands of simultaneous transactions while giving real-time updates to drivers and riders, with 99.xx% uptime, and web/android/ios front ends, is a massively expensive effort.

Lastly even if you spend hundreds of millions getting your apps on phones and building real-time infrastructure, no one is going to use your service until you acquire a massive amount of drivers in their market.

Uber’s brand, which includes that massive bases of installed apps and active drivers, is a huge competitive advantage. It’s the reason 6x more riders choose Uber over Lyft every day, despite Lyft having app installs, drivers, real time software, and despite Uber itself spending the last year or so shutting on their own brand with their tawdry behavior.

Even if you target Uber in a single market or small set of markets to reduce your investment costs for acquiring app installs and drivers, but now your infrastructure costs can’t be amortized over as large a base, making you a high cost competitor.

>Smokers have not experienced persecution. Please use this word more carefully or we dilute its meaning. The shaming of smokers has little in common with what Jews, homosexuals etc have had to endure.

And what Jews in the 40s had to endure has little to what a gay person in e.g. Idaho in the 80s and 90s had to endure, which was 100 times lighter. It's still persecution of sorts though.

We shouldn't trivialize a word, but we shouldn't leave some words just for the hardest of cases either.
Yep, it would be murder - except that in this thought experiment, I stepped into the transporter of my own free will, and thereby expressly consented to the destruction of one of my selves in the immediate future. It becomes much more interesting if someone is forcibly transported; then I think the moral answer depends on what the transportee believes about their consciousness. Do they believe they'll be murdered, or not? Then I think there's a fair argument to say that the forcible transport is morally evil, or neutral, depending on the two cases.

I have discussed this before, I really hope the hyperbolic outrage wasn't me though! ;) I like parallel, and this issue is relatively minor. But I admit the language of the nag bothers me just a smidge.

> You can pay money and not have to cite it.

You can also use it without paying. The nag is neither a license nor contract, and the proposed money isn't a required fee. The language of the notice makes it sound like you have to pay, and makes it sound like part of the license.

> I guess Ole is within his rights

I agree completely. And I'm in favor of him getting what he wants too! He's right that PR is helpful for his cause, and I appreciate his cause. I just wish he'd ask without the nag, and use softer language.

Using parallel isn't a reason to cite it, any more than using LaTeX or emacs would be a reason to cite LaTeX or emacs. And if gnu parallel counts as previous research, it's very unlikely he has to ask.

> I didn't find a whole lot of complaints about it.

There are some, and I'd agree it's not a huge issue, by and large. The main discussions I've seen have been with package maintainers. It is a small issue, and the few times I have brought it up, I've had a ton of confirmation that it bothers other people a similarly: a little bit.

> You have cabs in NYC though - is it similar? In London the city controls the number of people that can operate black cabs, sets a standard tariff for fares and runs background and license checks. They can be hailed off the street (though also through some apps). And the drivers have to take "The knowledge"[1] a test which takes a few years to pass and means you can give the average cab driver any street name and they can get you there without a GPS.

In New York City, cabs that have medallions for street hails are referred to colloquially as "yellow cabs" and those which do not are referred to as "black cabs" (more properly: "livery cab"). Both yellow cabs and black cabs are regulated by the TLC, but black cabs are not allowed to pick people up off the street. Instead, you have to call the company to arrange a pickup (using a mobile app qualifies as "calling" for this purpose).

Uber, Lyft, Juno, etc. are all regulated in New York City as black cab services, which means they can't take street hails, but they operate otherwise identically to all other non-medallion black cab services, with TLC-licensed drivers.

I know these long-form 'new journalism' pieces like to liven up stories with detail but sometimes these article includes so much it can be distracting. I'm curious about the guy's job not the Baskerville font used on a sign or the exact riot grrrl music playing on the speakers, etc. Although it may just be my low-information tolerance internet brain...

Anyway, it's an interesting story nonetheless. I would love to have one of those buttery boards on my wall. Whenever my cat catches an insect around the house I always look at it very closely, the amount of detail and the variety in species in common household insects is quite amazing and easy to overlook.

I wonder how you find a place like that in a city or how they get their business with such a niche clientele?

I wonder what would happen if all of the cyclists in NYC were to declare a week of staying in the vehicle lanes and obeying every law. By skirting congestion and clearing out of intersections, cyclists may be doing the rest of us a favor.

I remember when they adopted the 55 mph speed limit. Some truck drivers in Michigan decided to protest it by obeying it. The resulting congestion was pretty painful for everybody.
There was a Star Trek species called the T'Kon who used something like wormholes to create dimensional gates that let them just walk to other planets as easily as walking across the room. That was presented as a technological feat "sufficiently close to magic" even to the Federation. Wormholes in that universe seem to be rare and unstable and weird, though not nearly so much as in Farscape, where they seem to be able to access all of space and time, IIRC.

Susan Hough in that Gizmodo article gave me autism.

She says a sphere has maximum surface area for unit volume. No honey, it's minimum! You'd think she just misspoke, but give her a bit more rope and she hangs herself not long after by saying turning a sphere into a disc would decrease the ratio of surface area to volume. Again, no sweetie, it would increase!

Looking at how the current share structure works[1], it seems possible that he knows some Class B will be sold to someone new and his % of vote control will go up. At least that's my speculation.

Following this to a crazy extreme (to make the mental math easy), if Zuck owned only class B shares and he was the only one with class B shares, he could sell until his equity was 9.1% of FB and would still maintain majority control.

For more realistic math- is there any place that tracks how many class b shares exist?

I agree with all of your points about "beaming" it just wasn't clear from your statements that you were considering alternate implementations of teleportation.

If we were to harness folds in spacetime, or other dimensions to teleport, we would have no philosophical questions around it being death, because locomotion through any dimension is a "solved philosophy".

Good article. It gives Tommy Flowers the credit. He doesn't get mentioned much.

Colossus wasn't a computer as we think of one today. It was a key-tester, like a Bitcoin ASIC. No memory, just a few registers. No stored program.

What we think of as a computer today is a general purpose, stored program, digital machine. Colossus was a special-purpose, hard-wired program digital machine. There were many such special-purpose machines before full-fledged computers appeared.

Just before WWII, several groups were working on electronic arithmetic units. A. Halsey Dickinson at IBM was working on vacuum tube arithmetic, and by 1942, had an electronic multiplier.[1] Some of those circuits were used in the ENIAC, and by 1946, IBM had an electronic multiplier as a product, the IBM 603.

IBM's 600 series machines somehow don't seem to be mentioned much in the history of computing. They were commercial products, so they had to work reliably and be cost-effective. The IBM 601 (1936) was the first fully automatic multiplier - electomechanical, punch cards in and out, a few registers of memory. The 602 and 602A added division. The 603 did the same job as the 602, but using vacuum tubes. The 604 (1948) was plugboard programmable with up to 40 program steps. There were more 600 series machines, up to the IBM 650, on which Knuth learned to program. The 650 had a magnetic drum and real stored programs.

The big problem in the early days was memory. It was clear by the mid-1930s that electronic arithmetic was possible, but nobody had a good storage device yet. The early approaches were recirculating delay lines (slow, sequential access, not much capacity), magnetic drums (slower, sequential access, more capacity), and Williams tubes (faster, expensive, not much capacity, but random access). Core memory was the first technology that really worked well. IBM developed automatic looms for weaving it, which made it sort of affordable. Still, through the 1960s, memory was about a million dollars a megabyte.

There was a whole sideline of special-purpose electronic computing devices in the 1950s and 1960s, when general-purpose computers were too expensive. Teleregister did special-purposes machines for stock markets and airline reservations. American Totalizator did special purpose machines for racetracks, and was an investor in Univac. There were cute little machines such as the Mathatron (an early calculator the size of a desk) and Mem-O-Ree (an inventory control system). These all had electronic computing components but were not full general purpose computers.

You can use an audio pipe to decode signals with fldigi, however the occasional stuttering of the audio can mess up the decoding. It works better to use the record feature, then download the file and decode the audio from that. I've done Morse and rtty and psk and even some hamdrm and sstv images through the websdrs.
I've personally received 2 NYPD citations for running a red light on a CitiBike.

The good news is that I now stop at red lights when I ride in NYC.

The funny part is that, several times, pedestrians have reacted with shock and glee, saying things like "wow, I've never seen a rider stop at a red light!"
So when I mentioned that the internal tariffs are zero (which also prevents negative tariffs) and that external tariffs with non-EU nations that have existing trade agreements with the EU are both fixed and protective you infer from that that I don't know and don't understand this fact?
I'm very interested to see how far things can be decentralised.

The problem is that crypto people seem overly keen on decentralising without thinking whether or not there is an actual advantage in doing so, or whether the advantages might outweigh the disadvantages. There is an unfortunate viewpoint that decentralisation is just always a "good thing".
>Someone could write a Star Trek episode where they actually take seriously the possibility that the transporter is a bad idea and ban it in favor of shuttlecrafts.

Star Trek Enterprise kind of did that, because it was set in a time when transporters were new technology and deemed unfit for anything but cargo. Unfortunately because it's a franchise staple to see the away teams beaming down to planets, they took the coward's way out and quickly forgot it.
Booking rides doesn’t cost them dollars. Whatever the customer pays, Uber skins a few bucks off of and sends the rest to the driver. The entire costs of providing the actual ride falls on the driver, Iber just pays the cost of their software platform, which again, is pennies per ride.

Ultimately drivers will make what the market will bear. If they don’t make enough, driver count will fall, Uber will raise rates to compensate, until equilibrium is reached. And the business will go on, every ride costing Uber a few cents to dispatch, and then still skimming a couple bucks from the amount paid the driver.
I haven't tried it out yet, but I suspect dropping Python 2.7 is going to make tracebacks a whole lot clearer and easier to read. Right now, there tends to be a bunch of frames relating to `six`, which clutters things up.

The new path based URLs look great - to me, the gain looks like readability more than anything (reading regexps at a glance isn't exactly easy, especially if they have named groups), and having built in type coercion for the parameters is a nice win too.
