I'm not the parent and I don't have any data, but I think he is saying that he thinks people in lower income areas tend to not be supportive of efforts to support bicycling and/or bicyclists.

Just based on my personal experience, I think there may be some correlation, possibly due to the fact that bicycle commuters tend to be from higher income brackets, and that lower-income folks often see efforts to support bicycling as both a symptom and cause of gentrification that does not do anything to help them personally as they are less likely to be bicyclists themselves.

Just my two cents.

You misunderstood the nature of the bill that was vetoed. The bill didn't have much to do with 5G at all. It mandated a uniform state-wide permitting process for any company installing wireless equipment. It also set a maximum price that cities could charge companies who want to use city property (poles and whatnot) to mount their equipment. Every local jurisdiction in the United States has their own rules for getting permits. If you just want to add on to your house that's not a big deal, but if you want to build a lot of things in a lot of places then the extra cost adds up quickly.
I am vegetarian on a very low carb diet. No fruit, no high starch vegetables. It is possible to eat zero added sugar and almost zero natural sugar. As mentioned above your body can synthesize glucose from protein, to the extent that on a keto diet you must be sure not to consume too much protein, lest your body convert it to glucose.

Customization! Users can customize the color of the padding layer. Personally, I do not see any advantage of phone manufacturers providing it over users buying it from third party manufacturers. Most of the shops (in US at least) would also stock the cases along with the phones.

Demand almost never changes. Most bus routes are still virtually identical to the streetcar routes they replaced.

And the required infrastructure for light rail creates more demand for development along the line, as the rail itself signals more permanence to developers: they do not worry about it moving in a decade, like a bus route could.
Interesting thought. Near infrared light does interact with cells (photobiomodulation), usually in a beneficial way. Maybe the wave form is another factor, or some frequency ranges are beneficial while others are not?

> Yes, it would help a tiny little bit if the compiler would check for nullable pointers. But this comes at a cost of annotation work / maintenance work / worse modularity, and it only helps a bit. There are so many more invariants (is this integer in the range 3-42 and odd or divisible by 12, is that integer a valid index into this other dynamic array...) that you can't practically check with a static system, and they are much much worse because many of them manifest themselves in much subtler ways.

Not my experience. It's no more work since you know when you're writing whether it's nullable, it's better for maintenance since you can immediately see which variables are nullable. As for other invariants: look at how often you see a real app you're using fail, or look at the bugs that manifest in production; they're rarely the subtle ones, most of them are the simple stupid cases.

> All these formalisms work in some toy examples, but adhering to them makes a big mess as soon as it gets a little more complicated. Most basic example, const.

No, const is a poor example; it's a wrong abstraction and it's difficult to use as a result.
For earlier generations, they put large towers, spread relatively far apart. For 5G, they'll need smaller antennas, spaced closer together, which means more cellular stations, over-all. In previous cases, I think that a lot of "next-gen" cell towers just upgraded the previous generation of tower, but stayed in the same place.

Argument for the bill: It streamlines the process for getting permits to put up new cellular antennas, and makes permit requests cheaper by putting a limit to the fees that a local government can charge. The process and costs should be limited to reasonable amounts, and standardized throughout the state.

Argument against the bill: Local governments should be able to manage local affairs; things that make sense in one city might not make sense in another, or might need to be done differently.

U.S. law is layered. Federal law specifies some things, and leaves everything else to the states. Then state law specifies some things, and leaves the rest to cities and counties, etc.
It should simply be illegal to advertise prescription medications.

One of these sounds completely ridiculous, and the other sounds commonplace. They should both sound ridiculous, because they're both equally completely ridiculous.

The idea that the patient should be influencing the treatment decisions of medical professionals based on things they saw on television is just absurd. It should be illegal. Doctors are all complicit in it, that should be considered medical malpractice, but doctors are put in an impossible position on this stuff and I understand why they do it.

Healthcare in general is just such a goddamn mess. There are so many completely obvious ways to improve it, but it's impossible to implement any of them, and in the meantime people just keep losing their loved ones early to all the inefficiencies and waste and stupidity.

I can only point to one quibble:

*

Those who have benefited from the exposure and attention of little shops, who are so grateful for our help launching them into bestsellerdom suddenly do not wish to use their power and leverage to help those who gave them attention and benefits. “I contacted sales and all the tip-ins went to Barnes and Noble. I have no control over that…” Well who the hell has more control that a major bestselling author?

As far as I can tell, neither Tom Clancy nor Stephen King have any control over their publishers' marketing departments; certainly nobody less exalted can hope to do anything with them.

Having lived in the kind of city that non-car-design makes possible, no. The negative externalities are inherent to personal, on-demand vehicles: they just take up so much space, even with tunnels the loading and unloading areas would take up a huge chunk of prime locations.

It is a moral failing, but moralising rarely works; better to make drivers pay the true costs of car use (in particular, making sure they pay a fair price for the land they're taking up) and let them decide whether it's worth it for them.
For me the notion of domain is helpful in understanding OO. The definition of a domain is that everything inside it stands in determinate relations, whereas while multiple domains can interact they don't stand in determinate relations. Inheritance in classes, in adding more features to a class, can also have knock-on effects that interfere with the assumptions of other classes that are closely coupled to it, making classes an example of domain. Whole computers in a network are also domains; nodes can go down in which case no determinate expectations can be placed on them.

The existence of multiple domains is essentially postmodern as it creates, for practical purposes, multiple sources of truth. Because the expectations of one domain on another are weak, this naturally leads to a domain becoming robust against errors and inconsistencies from other domains, which leads to a stronger system. This type of robustness also helps components still be valid when they are placed into a different theory/environment that has additional properties. In some sense FP and OO are aiming at the same thing, that is making definitions that remain valid when the "arrows" of their environment change their meaning.

> A strategy intended to beat the bookmakers at predicting the outcome of sports games requires a more accurate model than the ones bookmakers have developed over many years of data collection and analysis.

I disagree with this assumption and I think they have painted themselves into a corner because of it. To illustrate, imagine charting win rates against bins of price-implied-chances. $3 horses win roughly 33% of the time, $4 horses 25% for example. It resembles a noisy 1:1 linear relationship. Do the same for your selections and your line will be noisier, but crucially you're not taking bets where the price is worse than your estimate. This can leave a window of profitibility when you subtract the two, even when you are less 'accurate' as measured by win rate or KLD or other measures.

The goal is profitibility, not accuracy. The problem with including the odds you are betting against as a feature for your ensemble is that it dampens that window. If you're right about your selections, you'll bet less and win less. * If you're concerned about the volitility that comes with being less accurate, there are better ways to address that.

I've been doing this for a couple of years and in many ways it's a dream side-project. Location independent, no customers, automatable, and in some jurisdictions tax-free. It can be a little lonely at times though. I would love to chat with anyone else applying tech/math to beat the bookies. Sorry for the throwaway, I'll put a contact in my profile.

> Those who couldn’t afford the hardcover price knew they could get it at the library or get it in paperback in a year.

All so that a funky little book stores can exist as middlemen?

I'm sorry, but as much as I loved the small independent book (and music, etc) store, that model is done - and if the result is that books are cheaper, and more widely accessible, it's a fair trade.
Computers get billions of data points for a single topic/task. Humans get exposed to ginormous amounts of data that's less focused. The amount of sensory information we are taking in is incredible. That information isn't focused on a single task, but we can apply learnings from one field and apply it to another. If a human is trained to sort out foul fruit the human already knows how to generally differentiate between different objects they are looking at, smelling etc. They already know about apples; they already knows that fruit can spoil. It's just combining existing knowledge and skills. On a more complicated task like learning a new language the advantages are similar. I'd bet that a sufficiently large, neutral network that already knows how to perform many tasks would be faster at learning new ones as well.
