I'm most familiar with the Northeast... The Globe did a study of DUI cases and found greater than 85% of them were dismissed. All of the recent high profile bike fatalities in the Boston area resulted in no arrests, let alone penalties, despite the driver being at fault.

An SUV rolled over and killed 4 pedestrians on the sidewalk in the Back Bay. No arrests because the police couldn't determine which person in the vehicle was driving.

The case that will forever be burned into my head is Allison Lau in Queens. A 3yo in a crosswalk with her grandmother. The driver ran right over them, killing her. He lied to the police, saying the girl ran into the street and there was nothing he could do. Dashcam from another vehicle later showed he was on his phone when he was turning left. After public outcry, he was finally issued a $50 failure to yield ticket that was later dismissed.
I think this is going to be the next big challenge in social tech:

Contact: The consequences of growing up amid diversity just discussed bring us to the effects of prolonged contact on Us/Theming. In the 1950s the psychologist Gordon Allport proposed “contact theory.” Inaccurate version: bring Us-es and Thems together (say, teenagers from two hostile nations in a summer camp), animosities disappear, similarities start to outweigh differences, everyone becomes an Us. More accurate version: put Us and Thems together under narrow circumstances and something sort of resembling that happens, but you can also blow it and worsen things.

Some of the effective narrower circumstances: each side has roughly equal numbers; everyone’s treated equally and unambiguously; contact is lengthy and on neutral territory; there are “superordinate” goals where everyone works together on a meaningful task (say, summer campers turning a meadow into a soccer field).

How do we bring people who disagree back together? Technology is really good at getting people to do things which are individually gratifying so how do we encourage individuals to do something which is individually difficult but will have a strong positive effect on society?
I didn't live through the drills, but they were pretty smart. The popular scorn towards "duck and cover" is completely undeserved. Those drills would have saved a lot of lives if war had actually broken out. The popular misconception of nuclear weapons is that there's a zone of total destruction and that's about it, but in reality there are huge areas where buildings would collapse or windows would shatter but people could easily survive with some protection. Protection like being under a sturdy piece of furniture.
I feel like licensing is even less pragmatic than technological capability and limitation. Ubiquiti's 2.4ghz and 5ghz 'air fiber' radios are approved for use in India, license free, and those spectrums are license free under certain requirements. There is no difference between laser and microwave devices for in this use case, except that laser has higher speed but lower persistence in line of site.
https://community.ubnt.com/t5/airFiber/Airfiber-in-India/m-p...

EDIT: maybe a missing detail is that “AirFiber” and similar products are point to point comm devices. So each pair of AirFiber units is a 1.2+ gbps link, same as a laser set up. You may be confusing with an alternate PtMP radio setup.
I'd say wheel truing is the worst. It's tedious and you really want a dedicated wheel truing stand, and you may need spare nipples in case you round one off. Second to that is setting up tubeless tires, it's messy and you might need an air compressor to seat the bead.

Derailleurs are easy once you know how to set the limit screws and adjust the cable tension. Disc brakes are tricky, but again if you know the trick then it's pretty easy as well.
Stuxnet propagated itself, on a pretty wide scale, through a BadUsb exploit to bypass the Iranian air-gap.

If arid land can do well without mosquitoes, perhaps wetter land can do too. Have more flies for example.

If people in arid land can live healthy without mosquitoes, I think it's a good bet that people in wetter land can too.
Sure, but the point is that they aren't retained, and in turn, leave young people in a position where they won't be blackmailed as adults for the shitty things they said as a teenager on platforms they thought were safe.

> Digital can be maddening because it alternates between crystal-clear and OFF, which ultimately I think is worse. Some streaming services will also decide to auto-next-song after the slightest glitch which is annoying too.

I wonder if there are audio codecs that work similarly to wavelet based video codecs (DWT instead of DCT) where you could have stepwise degradation.
Great article! I had a similar notion a while back for ski shops. Here are a couple of additional ideas from that thought experiment.

1.) Deeper web presence. For example, why not sell coupons for services on the stuff people buy on the web?

2.) Subscriptions. Basically an add-on support fee for your bike. This makes sense for anyone who commutes, especially if you can make it trivially easy to collect. That leads to...

3.) Additional services. Combine bike parking in cities with on-going maintenance . This already exists in some cities.
Agreed with your last sentence entirely.

I've been messing around with using a blockchain for storing DNS records, I think it's a neat idea, but the overhead is pretty large considering the small amount of data that is involved.
Strictly speaking, AnySequence is a generic type, whereas AnySequence<Int>, AnySequence<String>, and AnySequence<Any> would be three different concrete types.
I deeply hate this update methodology. Some hippster fresh from university decides that the gui, approach, functionality i use daily is no longer needed and pushes his rewrite into a release. One click later im stuck with this, because all the bundled crap is hijacking the "security" for a ride.

If any software developer would truely respect users, he would offer updates as seperate packages, where users can opt out of non-security ones- and those updates humanity votes with there feet against, vannish into the bin of useless software.
n-gate.com is going to have a wonderful time with the comments here.
Yeh I think people flooding to coinbase to make overnight money expect instant gratification but coinbase has to register users with the Federal Trade commission at least for me as an American so let's not forget in addition to the other comments detailing how hard it is for any startup to scale, there is another bottleneck called FTC approval for first time coinbase users and that is on the Federal Trade Commissions timeline.

Let's also not forget while many other otherwise good UI platforms dropped out of NY because well, it was too hard and the fees were too high coinbase continued to integrate and work with lawmakers because they know how important it would be not to disciminate against states and also to have legal integration with Wallstreet, so as much as you may be upset with Coinbase for not scaling fast enough for you and making the government go faster, you should ask why so many other platforms aren't there to offer you an equally good alternative.

That being said, throughout all this bustle lately, I have not experienced issues with Coinbase and have performed a variety of money moving actions to and from multiple bank accounts coinbase and gdax with no delays. This could be because I'm an established user, approved by the Federal Trade Commission and have an established credit history with Coinbase which has led to another increase in what I am allowed to do.

Furthermore, Coinbase has been open apologetic, taken complete responsibility for the lack of being able to instantly gratify as they stayed over 8x the exponentiation of new users trying to register relative to the last spurt in the sunmer and promised to be transparent even if they can't be perfect. They have a ten day backlog on customer support tickets even after hiring 400 new people just for customer support and plan to hire even more.

It sounds like you are a new user who feels entitled to instant gratification, instant approval by the FCC, instant trust from Coinbase who probably doesn't have an established credit history with you and you're mad because things didn't work for you immediately.

I saw the other day Coinbase had an update saying wire transfers we're delayed 2-3 business days but I did not have a delay with mine, which means they probably prioritize established traders.

I wouldn't be so hard on Coinbase, but if you think you can provide a better solution by all means go for it. We need more competition in this space.

I also recommend certifying yourself with a few other platforms and getting your accounts tested and registered and having some money there so if you experience delays with Coinbase you have other options to move money. I am established with multiple platforms in case I experience issues with Gdax, but as it turns out I never have.

Very impressed with them.
It's been a few days for me too. I imagine the demand to work at a Musk startup is ridiculous though.
Okay, having a checkbox that does nothing is really bad.
The fact that the privacy policy only just says something like "this policy might not apply to non-release builds", without actually having a policy for those also is more than questionable.
I'll often just read the comments, or read a portion of them and possibly even comment (if it's not entirely related to the submission, as discussion drifts), prior to reading the article. If what I'm commenting about is related to the article and I haven't read it (such as noting related info), I generally do a quick scan and search of the article to make sure I'm not repeating what it said.

I don't think there's anything wrong with reading comments first, and in some select cases commenting yourself. Comments are why I'm here. That said, it's worth keeping in mind whether you've read the article though and how that affects your interpretation of what you're reading, and what you want to say. Be signal, not noise (I think that's a perfect motto for HN and summarizes the rules fairly well).
The author is pretty much in agreement with you. From the preface:

> These notes are more journal than book. You’ll find lots of duplication, since I reworked some topics from scratch a number of times. In many places I was attempting to learn both the basic physics concepts as well as playing with how to express many of those concepts using GA formalisms. The page count proves that I did a very poor job of weeding out all the duplication. These notes are (dis)organized into the following chapters
Not sure wha GP is referring to exactly. But at least in theory, it’s possible for Google to access the images, since they’re stored on Google servers. In practice this is very unlikely.

If you save the snaps to your camera roll, then any app with photos permissions has access to them (along with any metadata). But that’s obvious.

The article mentions studies done with fMRI on people recognizing "Us" vs. "Them".

Anyone know of similar studies done on neuro-atypical people? I'm particularly interested about studies for people on the autism spectrum and people with anti-social personality disorder.
I think you're probably right. I was fully expecting to be billed, especially when the tech ended up climbing under my desk. Normally, they draw a bright line at the dmarc.

But I cynically wonder if it didn't have something to do with my contract ending and the price nearly doubling, leaving me free to jump to the other provider.

It worked, though. I'm still with them. It doesn't hurt that the other provider is Comcast...
The thing I see about StackOverflow's volunteer moderation is that unlike Facebook, Tweeter, etc.:

+ StackOverflow has clear criteria for expertise.
+ Reputation is based on being helpful to other people.
+ "How do I make baby" is off topic.
+ Content has long term value.

Unlike Facebook, Tweeter, etc. self promotion is bounded because of the purpose of the site. Imagine if you will, a Facebook where reputation is based on the quality of a person's Likes and Friendships as determined by community voting. What gets measured gets optimized. Facebook's user facing metrics don't encourage skills transferable to moderation.

To me, a big difference with StackOverflow is that it is a bounded community from which people do not graduate. Facebook was a bounded community until it expanded beyond people with .edu emails. When Zuckerberg's Harvard cohort graduated and started producing grand-children, the platform had to expand to grand-parents to keep people on the platform. Now that those children need messaging, the platform is expanding to keep people there.

StackOverflow has expanded laterally by adding siloed communities around expertise as the basis for reputation. While its systems have morphed and evolved, there has been a set of underlying ideas that prevent ad hoc change.
It doesn't resemble the Cyrillic letter---it is it. "R" is an English letter but not a Cyrillic one, and "Я" is a Cyrillic letter but not an English one, and by flipping them horizontally you transform them into each other. I imagine for many of the 7,574,303 people in Russia who speak English and probably also a fair chunk of the 854,955 Americans who speak Russian (and presumably have mastered both alphabets), it's annoying. Not a huge deal, just annoying.

It's point-to-point, so yes. There's two towers at each site with quite large antennas.
Yeah, that's the typical result nowadays when manufacturing is so cheap. I can see that changing somewhat here in Europe as more new products get an ecotax slapped on top, but it will take a while to surpass the cost of a knowledgeable worker in a developed country.
Ask HN: Why isn't ASCII codes 28 – 31 used more often to serialize tabular data?
Typically, data is exported from apps in tab, csv, or pipe delimited format. Or in a more structured format such as JSON or XML. The problem is that the more structured formats aren't as useful for processing data through Unix command line utilities that process a line at a time, and any delimited format needs to handle cases where that delimiter is present in the exported data.

It would seem that as long as the data exported is regular text that a user would enter into an app, it would only contain ASCII characters that have matching keyboard keys. That would leave ASCII 31 (Unit Separator) perfect for delimiting fields, and 30 (Record Separator) for delimiting records instead of a newline. That way you wouldn't have to worry about escaping anything in the data (of course, binary data would still need special handling, but in this case I'm referring to predominately text data). So why isn't this practice more common?
I am suggesting that the broader homeschooling community may be equally fertile ground to find enthusiastic early adopters.
The Mozilla Corporation ("MoCo"), which develops Firefox, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation ("MoFo"). Each has its own board of directors, but the Corporation exists to serve the public benefit goals of the non-profit. The link above has a decent overview, and if you're especially curious, bylaws and articles of incorporation for each are at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/about/.
I would write one and keep it short. Nobody wants to read a huge block of text. For startups, I've always kept it informal and sent it as an email.

AnySequence is a named type conforming to a named protocol, it's all nominative. I don't know that Swift even has a structural subset.
How do you know that voter fraud rarely if ever happens if you don't ask for an ID? Why does requiring an ID disenfranchise people? If people are prevented from getting an ID then surely the issue is that people are prevented from getting an ID, which is necessary for lots of important actions, and not that you can't vote without an ID? Making it about voter suppression makes it seem like the only thing that matters is that these people vote for the right party, and not how not having an ID impacts their lives.
If it was a promo, it would be a real bad promo. I did not watch Mr Robot and that quote did not made me aware of it until people started referencing it here.

Yes it is. It's not end-to-end encrypted, however. An attacker would need to have successfully attacked Telegram first.
What I never understood about theaters is why they never got into physical movie sales as well. When I exit the theater for the second part of some trilogy movie, why can't I pick up the first on Bluray on the way out? Theaters are dying because they don't fully embrace the culture of movie lovers. Instead they charge you heavily with the food there.

Going to the theater is an experience much like the theme park. Go on the ride and tantalize me afterwards with memories and other things to offer a more complete experience. Otherwise I'm just going to a giant living room and sitting in a chair hundreds if no thousands of people have farted in at risk of my experience being interrupted by people cheering because Stan Lee appeared on screen for a second.

I don't think theaters will ever be as big as they once were. Offering film versions, HFR 3D, or beer won't change that solely because of the net. They need to attain a "can't beat 'em, then join them" attitude.
IPFS and FileCoin, to the rescue!
I don't know why runners are so snobby when it comes things like this.

What if it was an official marathon where they run with very strong winds at their back. Would you consider that achievement worse than perfect lab like conditions?

It's a certain distance, by foot. That's it. I also see snobbishness and even anger toward run-walkers. Even if they do the same distance in the same conditions.

Been working as a developer full time for the past 5 years with some 1 week vacations thrown in here and there (I can count them all on one hand).

I'm on week 4 of a 12 week loa for baby #3. I was totally focused on my career, side project(s), and keeping up w/ latest tech to stay relevant my memory felt foggy if you were to ask me household/family things that my awesome wife just took care of on the daily.

I've noticed a complete change in me remembering what my family has going on. Household stuff, etc. It's been great!
To be fair, it was more of a joke but this is a really good point. I wasn't intending to do it but thank you for the warning!
If a new investment firm took this long to have securities show up in your account, they'd be shut down faster than you can say SEC. Coinbase isn't exactly a new t-shirt company working out issues with their silk screener, they're an allegedly $20B (alleged) currency exchange. They have a higher standard to meet.
The radios from my various cars throughout the years are just as bad. My 1970s era radio turned on instantly and there was zero delay as I tuned through channels with a nice smooth analog dial. My 1990s era radio took about 500ms from power on to audio output. The "dial" had steps in it though and was not continuous, and there was a noticeable (again probably around 500ms) delay between when 'click' tactile feedback and when the station was successfully tuned. My current car takes 15 seconds just to boot (WTF), and then I have to navigate some horrible menu just to get to the radio controls. It's like these guys are actively trying to make things worse.
With respect, what can you do for the poster? Why would they need to email privately after posting in a public discussion with plenty of eyeballs?
The truth is that nobody knows. We'll have to wait for an audit or a lawsuit to learn the truth. People are sounding alarms based on the amount of Tether being transferred to exchanges, creating theories that they must be printed from thin air. "Look how much they transferred, it must be fake." Really? The large amount is your only "proof?" "There was a Tether hack, it must be an inside job." Really? Based on what? Nothing.

The Twitter user Bitfinex'd is pretty much solely responsible for starting this trend, with Emil Gun Sirer retweeting pretty much all Bitfinex'd tweets. Often, if you dig into this evidence, you find mostly FUD signals -- taking various data from the internet and interpreting it into something that it isn't.

Basically I don't know nor care if Tether and Bitfinex are fraudulent, but personally I've never seen clear evidence that it is, and people like Bitfinex'd and Emil Gun Sirer seem to push FUD backing their personal anti-Bitfinex agendas without proof.
XM Radio could be better if they killed about half of the channels. It's just a matter of how much sausage they want to cram into the pipe.

When I worked on an XM receiver project, I recall they had about 1.5 mbit of bandwidth to work with. Most stations were 16 or 32Kbit AAC+.

The talk stations used 8kbit AMBE, which is pretty much the same as a vocoder. You weren't far off by calling it robot talk.
