Bright flashers even in the day time. Slowing and waiting for an opening to get over in the center or turn lane, and obviously signalling. It's best to get over when everyone is slowing or stopping for a red so you have more time and space to maneuver into the turn lane. If you make it obvious you're turning to a slow car behind you they serve as decent protection from any cars arriving at an intersection that might otherwise not see you. It feels dangerous at first but you get skilled at it the more you ride.

Personally, for bike lanes I love the protected turns I saw in Germany. A separated bike lane will cross an intersection with a dedicated light. On the far side of the intersection, there will be a fork in the path with another dedicated bike signal to cross the road you were parallel with. I'll see if I can find an example.

That sounds good. Then, as long as control becomes more diffuse through the public markets, the incentives are in place for them to start working with everyone else in the market, not just their corporate parent.

Not trivial in practice, but sounds like it would be much better if we could figure out a way to make it happen. The first step towards more federated standards and interoperability is to have a larger number of players in the market.
Well firstly let's not disregard a proposal that could greatly diminish bad gun sales simply because it doesn't eliminate them completely.

This mechanism is more than just stopping an individual sale. If a store sells a certain class of products, they won't be able to accept credit cards at all. As you say, plenty of people will be able to just go get cash out, but how many people will just go down to the store down the road which will accept Amex? 5%? 10%? 30%?

How many stores can afford to lose that business to their competitors?

The result is that you'll likely end up with all large gun stores not stocking these items. You'll have a few boutique stores that can't take card, but do have a wide selection of more powerful weapons and then they can explain when 99% of school shooters get their guns from these 1-2% of gun shops.

This is the same argument people make when they say "drone strikes are the same as air strikes". Not they are not. We're seeing orders of magnitude more drone strikes than air strikes, and that's because they are different (such as much cheaper and easier to do than ever before).

Not host your own hardware or not get a dedicated server? Whether you host your own hardware in your home or rent a dedicated server, you are still responsible for proper security. Renting a VPS is a different story, you are relying on the hosting company to properly setup security for the guests. At least when you can run on bare metal, you can audit yourself. If I need to be able to quickly scale and do other "cloud computing" things, running EC2 or similar instances is pretty much the only way but if I need some real security, hosting on my own is the best option.

I've only had a shower in one of the places I've worked in the last 15 years I've been biking to work. I think the need for a shower is a common misunderstanding. One thing that helps immensely is having an entirely separate, bike specific set of clothes to wear in, and then you can change in a bathroom or dark room if needed.

I live in Chicago (so freezing and very hot at times in the year) ride 11 miles (~18km) each way, almost every day. I keep a pair of shoes, and a towel at work. I take a shower before I leave in the morning, and put deodorant on when I get to work. I rarely need the towel unless it's very hot in the summer. I have a space over a heater I dry out my clothes away from other people. (If anything, having a place to store bike clothes is more important than a shower IMO). I considered that I might be immune to my own smell, but I've had people ask me things like "How come you don't smell bad after riding" and honest friends I've asked and been told no. (The same friends that will happily tell me my outfits look ridiculous)
I don't think firewall is terribly important. I know it's kind of against the grain, probably best to do it if you don't understand the consequences.
I wondered the same.
I find that packing my clothes to change, toiletries, and then unpacking and trying to shower and change in the shared shower at work to be very time-consuming, and cuts I find that packing my clothes to change, toiletries, and then unpacking and trying to shower and change and we shared shower that were to be very time-consuming. Do you consider the time in the office while showering and changing as part of your workday, or do u work additional time To make up for it. And do you change back To bike clothes for ride home?

Showering and dressing at home is much quicker, saves at least 15 minutes a day.

I don't see how the winding mechanism should impact its accuracy. Obviously, it it runs out of energy, it needs to be reset once working again. I'd think that goes without saying.

However, the mechanism that makes the clock tick-tock once per second is, again, separate from the winding mechanism, and I don't see why you'd have to (as another poster commented), "choose 1".
Honest/naïve question: Regardless of how good or bad sugar is, is it possible that cars and televisions have both separately contributed more harm than sugar over the past century?

Both encourage sedentary habits and in the case of television, the advertising within is insidious. I personally believe that cars and TV are the two most misused inventions from last century, but so rarely see them mentioned when health, food and diet is mentioned.

Kubernetes and PaaS: The Force of Developer Experience and Workflow
The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt says it takes into account a number of Abgrenzungskriterien including size, weight, performance, seating capacity, # of doors; however it has no standard formula for assigning Models to a Fahrzeugsegment. The only criteria used that truly differentiates the segments is price. If you take a look at the vehicles included in the Oberklasse segment you quickly see a pattern, they're all really expensive.

If you asked a 5 year old to play "which one of these is not like they other" they'd quickly zero in on the Tesla models very quickly because they don't look like luxury vehicles. That's not to say that the Tesla models aren't very nice cars, they're just not opulent. The Tesla models cost as much as they do because of the technology under the covers. The other cars in the Oberklasse segment aren't technologically expensive, they're pretty bog standard high performance vehicles slathered in expensive and exotic materials and refinements.

Rather than this (which would be complex and unenforceable), just remove the loopholes (double Irish etc.) that allow those large corps to avoid taxes while smaller competitors can't.

No, that's not the "most" they can do. Not even close.

This is about the minimum they should do with self-driving cars, yet it's still about an order of magnitude more than their "most they can do" right now:

http://ideas.4brad.com/disconnected-car-right-security-plan-...

Tesla cars' "features" such as remote control, accessing any car from its servers, over-the-air updates, and more features like that will have a direct impact in helping attackers take over Teslas' cars.

How they design the security architecture of their self-driving cars now will determine whether or not Tesla's cars will be the "Windows XP" of the 2020s. I think it's way better to criticize/give them feedback on this now, while the architecture is still being developed, than after the potential Windows XP is already "finished" and live on 50 million cars. And yes, that goes for every other carmaker, too, not just Tesla.

Plus, I don't know about you, but a TV ad saying "Tesla - the only self-driving car that hackers can't drive off the highway" sounds like it would be quite effective to me.
I really hope they will add a panel to inspect current defined variables, like in Matlab, that would be so useful!

Earlier this month, KrebsOnSecurity heard from a fraud investigator for a mid-sized bank who’d recently had several customers who got suckered into scams after searching for the customer support line for Amazon.

This is not just an Amazon problem, it's a Google problem. Bogus customer support numbers pop up in the top of search results, often through scammy SEO or AdWords campaigns, to snare the unwitting.

Long-term, it's tricks and scams and schemes like this that will erode people's trust in Amazon, Google, and other tech giants. They may think they can AI their way through content moderation, but it's clear their automated systems are not up to the task.

The SDK part of the Ionic is what was built by the Pebble team, and it's a really pleasant-to-use SDK -- developing stuff is super easy to do. They've also actively courted all the former Pebble developers to port their apps over, so a lot of the popular Pebble apps are already ported to the Ionic.

That said, I did prefer the Pebble hardware to the Ionic hardware -- I miss my reflective LCD.

>For example, why do Google searches for HTML/JS stuff result in third-party crap sites instead of pointing me directly to the relevant MDN or W3C sites? Why do searches for company names result in tons of marketing crap (where their main web site would have been sufficient), instead of at least showing the Wikipedia article as well?

I gotta be honest, from my perspective, that feels like a weird thing to say. It's totally different from what I've seen.

I always get sites like MDN/W3C when I search for HTML/JS stuff, usually there isn't any blogspam at all on the first page of results. I always get Wikipedia articles and main company websites when I search for a company's name.

I have a lot of problems with Google, but I almost never see 'spammy' search results. It's weird that our experiences are so different.
> Increase corp taxes on large corps (say over 100 billion) and decrease on smaller ones.

Financially, I believe startups would actually want to see higher taxes instead of lower ones due to their ability to take advantage of net operating losses, which is a carry-forward that allows them to write off taxes for the future.

They specify a typical current of 0.25 uA at 3V supply, that's 0.75 uW power. So an energy of 18 uWh over 24h.

Design’s Lost Generation
It's actually really nice to bike in Singapore, provided you can shower at work.

I cycled every day for a month along a mix of park connectors (cycle paths) and two and three lane roads.

I only had one close pass from a car because on nearly all roads they have a whole extra lane to use to pass you in so if you ride assertively (in the middle of a lane) they just go around you.

And the park connectors are beautiful, fast tarmac with no cars at all. With some creativity you can link them up to create a great commute to most places. My route home went past a Riverside pub - I was on segregated cycle lanes the rest of the way home so I could easily stop for a beer with little risk.

You do usually arrive soaking wet from sweat or the rain. But that's a minor inconvenience compared to being cold! Biking in Singapore is warm, fast, and safe - much better than most places I've commuted.
Plus given how much stagnation there has been in mainstream C based languages, most other languages have caught with library ecosystem big time.

These days you get decent enough libraries even in lisp languages.
You can adopt some practices from fp when writing PHP. For example often instead of iterating over an array and doing some imperative sequence of modifications you can do a sequence of maps, filters and reduce... you replace error prone mutable code with more a declarative approach that says what you are doing clearly.

I have one and it is fantastic, I can dress for the destination as it's easy to ride without getting drenched in sweat. Also I'll take a pleasant or safer route even if it extends the journey. I'm usually doing 100+ miles a week on it.

The only downside is it does need more maintenance than my normal bike, chains only last for about 1200 miles for instance.
That's fair, and I'm not usually one to try to dilute a words meaning, but if processed indeed means to redefine a natural food item in the way you describe, what's to say you can't do that in a way that keeps it as healthy (or even more healthy) while making it either more approachable in ease of cooking or just tastier.

The issue with processing in your example is mainly the corn syrup and coloring (if not using natural coloring like carotene etc), as well as to a lesser extent shredding of the corn or wheat which leads to a higher glycemic index.

But as we've made cheese puffs out of corn and varying degrees of terrible chemicals, we now have chips made from quinoa, beans, lentils etc, which I'm not saying are great, but better.

If I could have a snickers with 0 calories and no carcinogens, or pringles made out of broccoli, you can bet your ass I would pop that package without stopping.

So again, even with our agreed definition of processed, it might in 95% of cases right now mean "bad food", but it doesn't have to.
> ... throw away our C code and rewrite ot (sic) in Rust...

well, to me at least, it seems a bit premature to compare the two languages at this juncture. rust is quite nascent, and doesn't have enough data points (imho) to make an objective comparison.

perhaps, when we have large code-bases available in rust doing safety+security critical applications (which might then be worthy targets) it might make more sense.

This is the closest I've seen anyone actually deliver upon the promise of OpenDoc [1] and similar tech like KParts, but in a more user-accessible packaging. I'll be interested to find out its scalability and performance. If it renders only the part of a notebook that is visible, while continuing to run threaded computations of hidden components, then that might help some of the performance limitations I'm seeing people write about. That might be important to scale up collaboration as well in the future.

Maybe consider being a data engineer or a systems engineer? There's a pretty big demand for people that can set up, maintain, and assist the data scientists with the more complex tech stacks out there. In a former job as a systems engineer, I set up Hadoop clusters and helped manage data going into and out of it. And if you do decide to continue learning to become a data scientist, you'll already have a solid footing on the tech they actually use.
You're not the only one. Though I've found there seems to be a bit of a cult surrounding the tidyverse, a mere hint of criticism usually results in outrage and attacking other tools/packages (by users, not the authors).

I think it is a reasonable expectation to require a certain baseline of expertise, considering the first thing the poster admitted to was: "I'm a data engineer for a startup that's trying to hire its first data scientist."

Much like how the early hires at Twitter were not deeply experienced in high availability work -- segregating the architecture of a predominantly RoR code base to be resilient at scale, which lead to countless "fail whale" outages, before they eventually landed someone who helped them re-think their architecture to use RoR for what it's good at while introducing the JVM and other languages to handle other aspects of their workload.

The US' last two presidents were complete dark horses who promised radical change to the way that the government works. They both ended up working pretty neatly within the system, unfortunately.

The US could elect some Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn like figure who is actually tough on corporations. It could happen! Some measure similar to what the Fed did to Wells Fargo would be unthinkable to people used to this pessimistic political climate, but it's happening now. It wouldn't be hard to get elected on a message of raising corporate taxes and bend the rules however necessary to get them to actually pay.
