If a pedestrian crosses the street at a particularly inappropriate time is there a statute under which they could be fined?

The "jaywalking law" in my state is that you have to use a crosswalk if it's within 300ft. In practice this means that you either use a crosswalk, or cross the street in a reasonable manner at a reasonable time. It's like speeding. If you behave reasonably you have nothing to worry about.

The US seems to have more restrictive laws about traffic behavior and enforce them less.

If you compare jaywalking laws with the rules vehicles have to follow[1] the result is that if one party is following all their rule. It's similar to the redundancy in road traffic laws (e.g. a safe following distances and using one's signal provide redundancy that prevents rear endings when one party doesn't do one of those things)

Anti-pedestrian is a curious way of describing a rule that demands basic social cooperation. Are stop signs, red lights, and crosswalks “anti-car”?
I'm enormously frustrated that Google has been killing off advanced-search tools.

The loss of '+' is annoying, particularly since quoted and non-quoted mixtures are unreliable. Searching on "freebsd" "meltdown" might have solved your problem, but it's too unpredictable to be sure. My experience suggests that Google is doing something with site-level search, such that a site with only 'freebsd' won't appear but a site with 'freebsd' and 'meltdown' on different pages still might.

'-', meanwhile, seems to simply be disabled some of the time.
Transportation cyclist in Texas here. The need for showering is overstated, I think. Even with the summers here I only know one cyclist who would take a shower after cycling, and they only do so for their training, not their commute as far as I know. If you ride at a comfortable pace and are in good shape, I find that a quick 5 minutes in the bathroom to freshen up is plenty, if it's even necessary. I usually wipe sweat off my head and chest and sometimes will change clothes. Outside of the summer these steps are rarely necessary, by the way.

Also, I think I would frequently (perhaps not every time, but at least 25% of the time) beat a driver to the door of my workplace from my apartment because of a combination of cars not actually being much faster than me due to traffic, stop lights, etc. and parking. My parking is so small that it's a lot closer to my building. This obviously depends on where you work, but here it seems to be a major factor. (On second thought this would also depend on which lot the driver would park in. Most would have a long enough walk to make cycling faster or at least about the same. I also haven't done this race, for what it's worth. Anyway, the point stands: travel times for cyclists are not necessarily worse than drivers.)
The US has always been fractured, the country wasn't even created by choice as much as necessity. The whole Electoral College system is in place to keep it politically unified.

There comes a point were States like New York and California are better off alone. As it stands today large parts of the US are underrepresented. A suburb in Miami is more important for the presidential election than all the votes in NYC.

Traffic laws have redundancy to provide damage control for parties that don't follow the rules that apply to them.

Cars aren't allowed to hit people. People aren't allowed to cross in certain places. Hopefully at least one party is doing what they're supposed to do at all times.
Self driving cars are not magic and judging their braking distance is not much easier than with a human driver. I think kids trying that will quickly find out that it's not too hard to make an autocar hit a human. In other words, I think the problem would quickly solve itself.

All UAC ever did was further re-enforce the already deeply-ingrained MS convention of 'just click OK' without reading the dialog. It never told you why the program needed elevated access, only that it needed it for it to do what you wanted. And of course, the average user just wants their computer to do what they asked. I would see some users run a program and automatically move their mouse to the place the UAC prompt would appear, seconds before the prompt ever came up. That's a whole new level of programming people.

The only time I can think it ever came in handy was if the user had an unprivileged account and would need an admin to type in the password - hopefully the admin would ask the why question and dig into it before dismissing the UAC prompt.

That's because you're not using DDG's !bang syntax to its full power. I have it as my default address bar search engine so I can redirect straight to Wikipedia (using !w), Discogs or whatever of the 1000s of !bang abbreviations are defined.

Just the amount of times where you know the most useful (and probably top) result on Google will be Wikipedia makes DDG worth it. Saves a click. But for me it saves a click very often.

If I need Google occasionally I just append !g, but it's just one of the many other places I use !bangs for finding stuff.

But just because there was an internet bubble and there is a bitcoin bubble, doesn't mean the internet and bitcoin are similar.

The internet had explosive growth. New uses and technology were coming out constantly.

Bitcoin? It's not clear actual use of bitcoin as a currency is even growing. It's very possbile nobody uses bitcoin at all in 5 years. The internet on the other hand was an eventuality. We knew it wasn't a fad.
There's two separate things that get conflated in these discussions.

The first is the blockchain, which is a technical innovation that allows a client to decide which version of a shared event log to trust, even if it doesn't trust any of the servers attempting to perform the update. The ELI5 version is that the record that took the most total work to generate is correct. Since generating a fraudulent record requires doing more total work than was done to generate the correct one from the point of the fraudulent change forward, creating a fraudulent record quickly becomes computationally infeasable as changes get older.

The second are cryptocurrencies, which are an attempt to mint a currency (a literal, if not physical, coin) independent of any government by, essentially, reintroducing the gold standard. Except instead of gold we're using blockchains, which it turns out can be engineered to behave economically like precious metals do under the right circumstances.

Separating the two concepts, and specifically avoiding putting on your engineer hat when you're thinking about the half that's more political manifesto than anything else, will go a long way in helping you get a toehold on what's going on.
Not surprising to read that Los Angeles was the starting point for jaywalking laws. Still today, it enforces them harder than most other cities. Try running across an empty street with no crosswalk for 1/4 mile in either direction in front of a cop. It's likely that you'll still receive a fine citation. I'd like to see it replaced with an "impeding traffic" law that would only apply if you're actually putting yourself or others in danger. But I presume the city makes too much money from the current jaywalking law to make that change.

The relationship between automakers and L.A.'s city government back in the 20s an 30s is an interesting topic. They seem to have had an enormous amount of power over the city. Automakers were instrumental in shutting down the extensive subway system as it transformed into the car based city it is today. Was this due to corruption or was L.A. just preparing for what we thought would be the future of transportation?

I'm primarily a DDG user, and I get annoyed that it often drops terms from my query as well. However, if you prefix the term with a +, such as `+freebsd +meltdown`, it will reliably keep that term in my query and show me what I want. So my queries often get overwritten, but at least I can reliably override it.

Yeah, I've heard of this for years now, but I don't see it ever happening. I lived in CA for 14 years and the only people who'd support this movement with cash to promote it are landowners that have huge swaths of land in "New California" and the few working class folks bamboozled by their propaganda.

That's not near enough. Hardly anyone living in any of the metro areas would ever agree to this. It's like asking them to give away their backyard.

For hypersonic it's been all about computer simulations. The costs are just too high. The tests for such aircraft are very expensive and typically result in catastrophic failure (complete loss of the system). Though they learn a lot about what works and doesn't in each test. A major driver for better CFD has been to better simulate hypersonic speeds and reduce the number of real test flights needed.

I don't understand the transit example presented in this article. I feel like I am missing something fundamental about the utility of any of these distributed services backed by their own type of coin.

For the transit example you have some people who want to request rides, and some people who want to provide rides. OK. Someone develops an application to process these requests, in some kind of bidding system...

How are the rider and driver matched up? I assume there needs to be some publicly accessible list of all open queries. Is that list what would be stored on the TransitCoin blockchain, and would that imply that all records of requested and completed rides are public, such that someone who knows your TransitCoin address can read all your previous trips, which are stored in this immutable chain until the end of time?

Would the TransitCoins be 'mined' by people running a 'node' that does the ride matching? Then in order to pay for a ride you send a TransitCoin to the driver? The driver would then have to sell his earned TransitCoins on an exchange for USD (or GroceryCoins) at the end of the day?

In the end I don't see why a new currency needs to be included in every proposed use of a blockchain, if the people who want to participate as a consumer and as a service provider are the ones running the nodes of the blockchain.
"Here’s how this golden age of speech actually works: In the 21st century, the capacity to spread ideas and reach an audience is no longer limited by access to expensive, centralized broadcasting infrastructure. It’s limited instead by one’s ability to garner and distribute attention."

That is probably the best description of the changes in culture since the Internet revolution began that I have read. There are no gatekeepers; instead limited attention from the audience is the bottleneck.

But on top of that, there is the next sentence:

"And right now, the flow of the world’s attention is structured, to a vast and overwhelming degree, by just a few digital platforms: Facebook, Google (which owns YouTube), and, to a lesser extent, Twitter."

These companies, the ones who control modern culture, do so by selling attention, and do so knowingly, self-consciously. They know attention is their product and whatever that attention is currently focused on can be damned.

There's a reason this "CLEARLY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" has become a meme [1]. It's a card readily pulled anytime someone is critical of the crypto hype. What I've found more often to be true is proponents of crypto hype lack basic finance and economic knowledge. There's a reason most economists aren't on the crypto bandwagon, and it's not because they're afraid of it.

They don't need to mandate it, at least not at first. They can just incentivize it the right way and people will willingly jump on board.

"Install this app on your phone to make traffic lights recognize you when you approach them, for a timely shift to green light"

"Install this app to collect pedestrian-points, exchange points for prices and discounts!"

"Get a better insurance tier for installing this app which tracks your fitness. Do your daily 10.000 steps for a free <whatever>!"

Once enough people jump on board, and it's generally accepted as being "normal because everybody uses it", then you can mandate it and the few people left who resist can easily be branded as "paranoid tinfoil-hat people" to marginalize their opposition.

Article: “The state of New California would incorporate most of the state’s rural counties, leaving the urban coastal counties to the current state of California.”

The actual declaration [0] refers to “the Counties of California”, and does not identify a fixed set of member counties.

The “New California” website [1] list county committees for all California counties [2]—incliding the urban/coastal ones—though most of them (including many rural inland counties) seem to just have the central org’s vice chair as the contact.

Because 100% of implementations are differently shitty. There's no amount of "pushing browsers to fix things" that is going to catch 100% of novel interactions resulting from different combinations of the declarative HTML and CSS languages out in the wild (especially when JavaScript then comes along and moves all those declarations around anyway).

>I remember so well when I first took a stand against the war in Vietnam. The critics took me on and they had their say in the most negative and sometimes most vicious way. One day a newsman came to me and said, "Dr. King, don’t you think you’re going to have to stop, now, opposing the war and move more in line with the administration’s policy? As I understand it, it has hurt the budget of your organization, and people who once respected you have lost respect for you. Don’t you feel that you’ve really got to change your position?" I looked at him and I had to say, "Sir, I’m sorry you don’t know me. I’m not a consensus leader. I do not determine what is right and wrong by looking at the budget of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. I’ve not taken a sort of Gallup Poll of the majority opinion." Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus, but a molder of consensus.
