I'm also surprised by that. I do not feel safe trying to filter through traffic unless I know the light periods very well. And in a queue is one of the places I feel safest starting and stopping. I can accept an argument about how a slow bicycle is wobbly, but from a pure power standpoint, there is much less acceleration involved in a queue than in many other cases. If motorists have a problem with cyclists, its often about acceleration.
I wonder how much this is enabled just due to patents expiring. Patents (theoretically anyway) last 20 years, so you'd expect 10 years to see off a lot of them. I don't know so much about video, but in the end the solution to mp3 patent encumbrance was mostly to just wait for the patents to expire.
I can kind of understand both sides. Company I used to work for bought up a small company to expand their product portfolio. I don't know the details, but the acquired company was never really happy with their new life and 2-3 years later almost everybody from that acquisition had left (and taken some of their new colleagues with them) and there was no one left in the company that could really continue the work they'd been doing. Basically 3-4 years later it was as if the acquisition had never taken place
No political accountability is what the EU is doing right now. As a non-citizen of an EU country I have no say in this regulation or its enforcement, but somehow I am supposed to abide by it because the EU says so.

The EU is trying to imposing a huge regulatory burden on companies over which it has no authority. Why do I or any other non-EU company have to put up with this? What happens when the laws in my country conflict with the laws the EU imposes on me from afar?
For Assange this is a life and death situation. Sure the US will have to promise not to execute him, but nobody can stop them keeping him in conditions where he wishes he was dead. Just ask Manning. So I maintain that Assange is acting rationally regardless of whether he is "right" or "wrong".
The Final Fantasy series has spawned a lot of "stories" like this one over the last 30 years.

A notable one being related to the MMO Final Fantasy XI, with the "Maat's cap" item being created by Square Enix to praise a player who achieved the maximal level on every job available in the game. Which back then needed hundreds of days of slow and frustrating grind.
Ok this is the most oldest argument people throw around. Let's just agree to look at this argument for a while and dissect couple of things: a plant doesn't run away when you catch it. A pig does.

A plant has a nature of giving, radiating, making oxygen and providing for it's environment. A pig is a gatherer and hunter, and one of the more intelligent animals out there. When you try to catch a pig, it runs away, it squeals for it's life.

Anyway it's not about this fact even though it's important, more what's fucked up in our current system is the systematic enslavement of feeling, thinking animals from their birth, in these huge killing camps they call farms these days. If it was even natural, like it used to be more, that the animals lived a life that they could enjoy. How would you feel being bred just for kept in a cage and then systematically killed, with no feeling, no warmness in your life ever ?

Roundabouts are the very last place where I would consider a bike lane to be a possible net win in safety. If the bike lane has priority at exits, then it will be constantly ignored, if it doesn't, then cyclists would be at the mercy of exciting drivers never forgetting to indicate, resulting in similar bloodshed. Besides being totally shitty towards cyclists who would then have to yield three times for going left at a crossroad-equivalent, at a very uncomfortable viewing angle and with permanent risk of un-indicated exits.
I'm certain a system could be devised to allow enough pasture-raised cattle, chickens and pigs to be raised in happy, healthy conditions until slaughtered for food. It would take more resources, but it would be worth it. It might also support the plant ecosystems more, because soyabean and grain monocultures won't be needed.

However, the current Capitalist system's greed will ensure that this doesn't happen, because of the junk/fast food industry and their advertizing.

Without junk/fast food's demands, the amount of meat required to sate the global population may actually shrink, because with proper education, food addiction may vanish, meaning we'll only need to eat what we actually need for nutrition and not for addiction's sake.

I don't think CF is affected because TLS-SNI-01 has never worked for cf-proxied sites (I've tried). CF doesn't allow clients to use invalid certificates for domains they don't own, which is key for the tls-sni-01 process.
Oh, I was assuming that without further qualifiers peanut butter means just peanut and at most a bit of extra salt.

Then we just need to feed the animals their natural diets instead of the abnormal, unnatural diet of grains and soyabeans that most factory-farmed animals are currently fattened on.

Solution doesn't seem that difficult to me.
(everything is done in simulators, you don't physically build anything)

Basically you start with only NAND gates available. Using this you have to connect together inputs/outputs etc to make NOT, AND, OR, XOR gates. Then you use these to make gradually more complex chips, such as MUX, HALF-ADDER, ADDER. Then you make an APU etc, eventually making a CPU.

At each stage they tell you the design, but not the implementation.

The assembler targets the CPU you build. The compiler targets the assembly language etc.

You understand the whole stack, and it is a real computer, although simplified as much as possible.

A Quick OmniStage History
I tried bringing up an Android VM and see if I could escape the web browser and get to an app store, but couldn't, at least not by doing anything more than just poking around with the mouse (if the Indians in question had the know-how to do something more intrusive I doubt they would need Browserly to circumvent the restriction in the first place). And it would be strange if Browserly would allow the browser to be escaped and software to be installed, it's practically asking for his service to be abused.

So I'm pretty sure what they want is to access the Whatsapp web interface and use Browserly for user agent spoofing, circumventing geographic blocking or some kind of blocking on their phones like a 0.0.0.0 entry for whatsapp.com in the hosts file. Either way it's a major dick move if you ask me, especially when there is no shortage of services built for this exact purpose.

A crash isn't intentional either. Meriam Webster has the following definition for crash:

To me that is more accurate.
You ask great questions and they have been answered by someone else already! These dedicated bike roads do not have grade separated junctions, so in intersections sometimes motor traffic has to use a part of the cycleway, and sometimes cycle traffic has to use part of the regular roadway.
>who would want to build a game on top of a platform that’s currently limited to ~15 state changes per second? And where each of these state changes cost money?

Every developer interested in making (a lot) of Easy money by riding the crypto bubble. Maybe the question should be what gamer would be interested in paying for such a game (i.e. paying significant sums for pictures of cats and paying more at every turn...you can’t even give a picture of a cat away free without paying gas), but the answer is the same...any gamer wanting to make money off the cryptobubble.

Blockchain can be marketed with terms like immutable, decentralized, and smart contract all anyone wants. However the reality is it’s all a race to the bottom based on greed and speculation.
Depends on the length of the queue. I find if I'm too far back from the intersection, cars will get up to speed and want to overtake me before I get through. If I continue to take the lane the driver behind me is likely to start honking and/or pass me dangerously. If I move over then I risk getting hooked as I go through the intersection.

So I find that it's usually safer to filter to the front at intersections. Even in the absence of a bike box I can squeeze into the crosswalk and get ahead of the lead car, allowing me to go safely through.

That's a very informative post. I missed it at the time it was discussed on HN, so thanks for linking it.

As an EU citizen, I can say your decision is totally understandable, and I sincerely hope that after the dust settles, you'll get your chance again to sell to EU customers. You might have more competitors by then, though - I fully expect that as various companies retreat from European markets and/or shut down the "products which were on the backburner anyway", we'll have local companies popping up to fill the void.
Some legal teams have suggested to specifically not adopt that interpretation and rather to assume it covers anyone on EU soil at the time of the data collection or when they make the access/delete requests.

This feels to me as not a lawyer as something that will only be clear after precedent is set.

I for one don’t want to be a test case.
Among many other things the experience gave me:

* Empathy with the folks who's thinking was alien to me previously. I learned through doing their job. I could communicate with them and work in their context in a way that allows me much more leverage and ability to have impact with engineering.

* I learned the semantics and pragmatics of running a large organisation which gave me the lexicon and confidence to be taken seriously doing it (therefore more leverage) and taught me lots of small but important tactical lessons (e.g. how to manage difficult shareholders)

* How to communicate complex technical subjects to people who either don't/can't/won't understand them.

* A HUGE network

I went back because I missed it. I wanted to do consulting as a way of getting better at being an engineering leader, not leaving it forever. I was offered a few things at VC/PE firms, or in typical 'business' roles, but none of them really appealed. Not my passion.

> Whatever the speed limit, you should never go 90 km/h in a blind turn if it is too fast to avoid a cyclist.

It might just as well be some other obstacle: slow moving vehicle, car stuck on the road, end of a traffic jam. People really really need to learn that you need to be able to come to a dead stop within the distance that you can see.
> Rapid withdrawal of a limb from a hot object happens before we feel pain.

I always feel pain in that instant. I feel the pain before I can even consciously react to it, because of the shock from it. Unless of course the nerves are shocked enough to prevent the pain from being felt immediately.
I thought you need the microcode to boot. How can you function in a non-free OS? And I guess non-free people will have these bugs now?

Also, I have basic Ubuntu. I'm running `apt list --installed` and I don't have the microcode package in the list. Does that command not list dependencies, or am I just missing it?
It does, but it's hidden at the bottom of the FAQ [1] page. I agree with the other comments about how they could do a better job of surfacing this kind of information.

6. Neither is the PRC.

7. True.

Living beings are not mere machines, so the comparison makes little sense. All living beings have some form of consciousness, and so, are able to feel some form of discomfort, of which pain is the most extreme.
It would be interesting to test this approach on reddit. Some specialized reddits receive lots of beginner questions (common case being recommendation for low-cost starting equipment for a hobby). These questions are always answered in FAQ, but are still frequent. A capable bot could learn from previous answers and provide a good generic answer that could be corrected as needed by community.

Having one-on-one chat with bot is not the best approach, as everyone will have different experience and there would be no consensus where improvements have to be made.

> Until then what else can do we? At least if we require tests for cyclists, like we do for cars, buses and trucks, it might help reduce the number of cyclists doing risky things that perhaps they aren't even aware of?

Statistics show that in the large majority of cases of accidents between cycles and motor vehicles, the driver of the motor vehicle is at fault. Requiring a license for cycles will do just about nothing to fix this. Just yesterday I was nearly run over by a car turning left into the oncoming cycle lane and by another one who thought that the pedestrians traffic light applies to bicycles. My knowledge that I was correct in both cases did not help the least bit.

So maybe yearly retraining for drivers of motor vehicles would be a better move.

I always found "catch and release" fishing to be a very misguided and hypocritical activity.

I don't see eating meat as particularly immoral (this will likely change in the coming decades, as substitutes get better), but factory farming is pretty evil. Hunting and fishing help you avoid that.

If you hunt for prey, then eat the poor thing, perhaps after contemplating on its life a little. If you do not, then you're literally torturing an animal for no reason other than entertainment, while deluding yourself that you're taking the moral high ground.

This is similar to people who get outraged at hunters, but don't think twice about eating factory farmed meat daily.

Proven cockroaches versus fragile unicorns
Getting initial funds for a startup studio - or for any startup - and then making it financially sustainable and lucrative teaches you important life lessons.

Too many times, the founders of a new studio want to rush to VC-s with their big promises asking for investment for a team that didn't even prove it's capable of building and scaling multiple businesses in parallel.

I understand that it's tempting to burn through the cash of others. But in the long run, it's much more rewarding to stand on your own feet.

Like successful startups that bootstrapped their way up, the startup studios that have a solid agency background have the right mindset in their DNA:

1. Don't try to compete on price. It's hard to make lucrative business with a 1% profit margin. Specialize and focus on a high-margin segment, where you can give unique value and make a high profit. This enables you to grow your team beyond fulfilling the agency workload - so you will have the extra capacity to build your own startups.

2. Leave behind the urge to force an idea on the World - we've seen enough 'Uber for cats' type of things. Time to focus on real issues. Follow the clients' money, and with every own startup, build solutions on proven market needs instead of unfounded ideation. Know who your first client is and that they will pay for your

3. Plan for the long run. Even if everything works out, a studio needs 3-5 but more like 7 years to give you the fortune you are looking for. And this will require a solid culture, a Team and Management that is able to scale, trusting relation with future investment partners and a commitment to your market.

Hard? Yes. Can be done? Definitely. Your first step: Chose to be a proven cockroach over an imaginary unicorn. Leave behind the common urge for an instant-win. Commit to results over promises. Then study the examples of those who already made it.

If it were so obvious there would be no comment for me to reply to.
A driver coming up behind you as you're starting to set off ( or immediately after you've fallen down) when the queue ahead of you is already moving. Somehow you tend to blend into the queue visually - the driver doesn't see you as separate from the vehicle in front of you, and doesn't realise you're still there when the vehicle starts moving (or does realise you're there, but rushes past you unsafely) - and the risk of falling over is much higher as you're starting off than at any other point.
In my experience, changing the status pages at many companies involves a C-level decision, since that status page change serves as an admission of service outages. And service outages can trigger availability clauses in contracts, costing the company significant amounts of money.

The mental acrobatics to justify not changing the status are often astounding: "One customer can load a partial page from Timbuktu, so we're not down."

You can petition the PRC power structure (e.g. complain about your local government in Beijing). If you are lucky, you won’t wind up in a black jail.
Traffic lights chop up traffic flow, creating windows of opportunity for turns and crossings at minor intersections downstream. Roundabouts on the other hand create bottlenecks of relatively constant throughput, smoothing out any pulsation in traffic density (e.g. from upstream traffic lights), which makes minor downstream intersections much more difficult.

Determining the best option for a given case is more an at than a matter of simple preferences.
